Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 286 The Li Family's Coping Strategies

In the Li family in Taiyuan, the head of the family, Li Qiao, married thirteen concubines, all of whom were fertile, so the second generation of the Li family, Ding Xingwang, had seven concubines for the legitimate son, and 23 concubines for the concubines.

Based on these [-] houses alone, there are hundreds of descendants of the Li family in the lineage of the patriarch, plus the connections among them, there are countless people in the lineage of the Patriarch of the Li family, who are officials, officials, generals, and businessmen. People, countless.

It is no exaggeration to say that in all aspects of Daqin, there is the shadow of the Li family, which makes the power of the Li family in Daqin faintly have the posture of catching up with the Yingchuan Xun family.

Normally, when the Li family is outside, they are arrogant and arrogant, but tonight, in the inner hall of the Li family, everyone gathered in the hall with sad faces.

The Patriarch of the Li family, Li Qiao, lost his usual calm at this moment, and trembled violently. Seeing that everyone had arrived, he immediately jumped at the table, "Hmph, Emperor Qin bullies people too much, whether it is tolerable or unbearable!"

"The ranking of the family that I compiled before put my Li family in a low-ranking position, and now I have come up with a three-character scripture. On the surface, it is said to enlighten the wisdom of the people. Shit, it just wants to put my family to death!"

Seeing the patriarch's face filled with righteous indignation, the Li family members who had been scruples before all started to shout.

"That's right, what my father said is right. What the Qin court has done is already very obvious. It is going to attack our family!"

"It's nice to say, what enlightenment books, who doesn't know what Ying Zheng wants to do to us!"

"Speaking of it, I'm afraid it's not just Ying Zheng who caused this, but Prince Xianyu as well!"

"That's right, this bullshit three-character scripture was created by that prince. I really underestimated him before. He's really a dog that bites people and doesn't bark. He hasn't shown his mountain dew all the time. So he's waiting for us here!"

"Zhao Yi is powerful, and Ying Zheng is even more powerful. They are the ones who figured this out. A Three-Character Classic has the potential to uproot my family, leaving no room for us at all!"

"Now, the State of Qin has begun to build cities in the former lands of Donghu and Huns. I heard that those places are all places that Yingzheng plans to arrange for poor scholars. People from all aristocratic families cannot get in."

"Ying Zheng's move is so ruthless that we didn't realize it before, but now it's scary just thinking about it!"

Li Qiao listened to the nagging of each room, and his face became more and more serious. At the end, he directly asked Li Chengxiang, the big room, "What's the situation with Hu Hai? And the son Fusu, the third child, how do you get in touch with each other? "

Li Chengxiang and Li Chengrui stood up and shook their heads almost at the same time. After the complaint, Li Chengxiang said first: "Father, Hu Hai is dead. He has no fighting spirit at all. Xianyang Palace has completely given up on him."

Li Chengrui then added: "Yes, father, now inside and outside Xianyang City, both officials and the royal family are very satisfied with the prince Zhao Yi, especially Ying Zheng, who supports him unconditionally. Zhao Yi has always been a car Where’s the riding general?”

The words of Li Chengxiang and Li Chengrui drew echoes from other rooms below.

"Yeah, father, after Doctor Yu Shi got married to Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi's strength became even stronger, not to mention that he himself has several roles, and his subordinates have already formed. Now if you want to move him, I'm afraid Bi Deng God is still difficult!"

"That's true, especially the gang of Kong Jia and Shusun Tong. They didn't know what they had eaten and lost their minds. They even called on the students all over the world to respect Zhao Yi as their teacher and compliment him as the reincarnation of a saint. Zhao Yi's current momentum even exceeds Ying Zheng."

"Not only that, military rookie Zhao Tuo, veteran military forces such as the Wang family, etc. are now obeying Zhao Yiyan. If we move Zhao Yi, it will be tantamount to poking a hornet's nest, which will provoke the Qin royal family and all aspects of it. Bounce back violently."

"So!" Hearing this, Li Qiao sighed deeply and shook his head, "Before, I was too negligent of His Royal Highness the Great Qin Prince, thinking that he was just a good-for-nothing, but I didn't expect that he has been dormant, waiting for today The thick and thin hair!"

"Yeah, father, none of us know that Zhao Yi has been hiding his strength and biding his time." Li Chengxiang also had a serious face, "In retrospect, since he became the prince for more than a year, he has actually boiled frogs in warm water." .”

"Yes, big brother is right." Li Chengrui nodded and said, "I thought some of the little inventions that Zhao Yi made in his daily life were just weird skills, but I didn't expect..."

"But I didn't expect that he was using these things to create momentum for himself!" Li Qiao roughly interrupted his son's words, and said with a gloomy face: "He is using these so-called supernatural skills to keep digging holes for our aristocratic family! "

"Whether it is paper making, printing, salt making, or the current dictionary and the Three Character Classic, they are all aimed at dismantling the foundation of our family step by step. His purpose has always been very clear, or, all of this is the meaning of the one in Xianyang Palace. !"

"Then what should we do, Patriarch, now we have almost no way out, what should we do?"

"That's right, all the forces on the grassland have been wiped out, and we don't even have anyone to rely on."

"Now as long as that person from Xianyang Palace exerts his strength, we may not be able to resist at all with our current strength!"

Everyone in the house was panicking. They were used to being pampered, but suddenly they realized that the family building was about to collapse, and everyone became nervous.

A stern look flashed in Li Qiao's eyes, and he looked at his sons in front of him, and asked solemnly, "Did Touman show any cheating feet?"

When everyone heard the words, there was a sudden awe, Li Chengxiang hurried forward, "Father, please rest assured, everything was arranged by me personally, and the people who handled the affairs also cleaned up without leaving any mistakes."

"The biggest flaw is that there is no flaw left." Li Qiao's expression became more solemn, "Ying Zheng must have set his sights on us, and now we are waiting for us to make mistakes."

"At this point, there is no way out. We must unite with the major families as soon as possible. Only by uniting their power in the court can our family have the last chance to breathe."

"Presumably on this matter, other aristocratic families have seen what the court has done recently, so it is impossible to reject us."

Hearing what Li Qiao said, everyone at the scene agreed deeply, and everyone knew that this was a last resort.

Yingzheng's strategy cannot be effective overnight. The aristocratic family's connections in the imperial court are still deeply entrenched, and the core organization of Daqin is still controlled by the aristocratic family.

As long as the aristocratic family initiates something now, Daqin will be paralyzed immediately, and then he will discuss terms with Yingzheng. I don't believe he will not give in!
