Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

The Zheng family of Xingyang.

As the first powerful family to have conflicts with Li Ke, and the top powerful family in Datang, the Zheng family in Xingyang has not fared badly in the past few years, because Li Ke did not target them.

In these years, as long as the family's survival strategy is adjusted, they can live a very healthy life, especially with the development of Datang's business, which allows them to invest a lot of funds in the family into brand-new industries.

It can be said that in terms of fixed assets, the overall assets of Zheng's in Xingyang have at least doubled compared to before.

It was not that they were unwilling to develop before, but that the Tang Dynasty was so big, but the world is so big, there are so many powerful families, and each family has its own basic plate, so it is not so easy to expand the scale, let alone the world. So many merchant families.

Therefore, in these years, it can be said that the strength of the Zheng family in Xingyang seems to be much stronger than before, and their life is much better than before. Now their houses have been replaced with glass windows, which is naturally much better than before.

But strictly speaking, the influence has dropped a lot, which has been reflected by every household.

At this moment, the Zheng family of Xingyang is also in a meeting. The old patriarch sitting in the main seat has passed away, and has been replaced by a younger patriarch in his fifties.

"Your Highness, it's still the same Highness." The chief patriarch put down the newspaper in his hand and said with emotion.

"That's right, Your Highness is still the same Highness who invented the Tang Weekly, cheated almost all the courtiers in the court, fought against the world with his own strength, and won the battle." The older old man on the left is also the same. face emotion.

"One article, one newspaper, affects tens of thousands of candidates across the world, and affects hundreds of thousands or even millions of students in the future. Don't think about it, some of our plans must have failed, except those that come from our family. No one would agree." Another old man also nodded and said.

"This was expected, but the king of Qin is more majestic than we imagined." In this room, there are a total of more than a dozen people sitting, representing the three branches of the southern, central and northern ancestors of the Zheng family in Xingyang, with a total of twelve rooms.

"King Qin is already in the ninth five years, but I don't know if His Majesty has already made a decision." The oldest old man here said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was startled, but fortunately, everyone in this room is the real descendant of the Zheng family in Xingyang, so naturally no one would say these words, because some people say that they are members of the Nine Clans. None of them can escape.

"Uncle Clan, is Uncle Clan sure about this?" The chief patriarch, or to be more precise, the patriarch elected by the Xingyang Zheng Clan Conference, hesitated and asked, after all, they had never discussed this topic before.

"It's not that it's impossible, but that in this world, who can take that position? The crown prince? Just because of the sensation caused by this newspaper, the crown prince can't take this position." The old man who spoke shook his head slightly, not at all. Confidently, he tapped the newspaper on the table with his skinny fingers.

Everyone was silent for a while, and after thinking about it carefully, it was true.

"However, this is also a good thing. Many of our strategies have changed following King Qin's policies. At present, Datang does not have a second policy, or there is no second objection. On the contrary, King Qin's succession to the throne is the best way to guarantee these things. It is good for us if the policy continues to be implemented." Bei Zu's second room said.

"Benefits? Although it seems that our family has expanded, in fact our strength has weakened a lot, and our influence on the imperial court has been decreasing." Beizu Sifang said.

"This is an inevitable change. Take a look at this newspaper. When this thing appears, we have to make changes. This is the trend of Datang's development. Whether you want it or not, you can't stop it, especially It's even more so when you meet someone who can use it." Erfang said bluntly.

"The point is, His Highness has been very aggressive about this matter from the beginning, and His Highness has never reacted since those of us came into contact with these candidates, until Langya Xu did such a thing, and then His Highness gave a response."

"Look at the statement in this newspaper again. Our aristocratic families are trying to control these candidates by means of marriage, and the matter of using marriage to win over these candidates is also silent. Guess what, if His Highness said this in the newspaper What will happen?" Beizu's second room asked.

His words changed the faces of everyone present. Think about the influence of this newspaper after it is published.Not far away, many local people in Xingyang are discussing this matter.

Although the local people generally do not dare to target the Zheng family because of Zheng's influence here, the way the people look at them now is different from before. These people, if His Highness speaks ill of them, or Words of encouragement.

These people dared to attack their families directly. These people from the Zheng family in Xingyang knew very well that these people might be weak and fearful most of the time. When they gathered together, thinking about it could lead to The Yellow Turban Uprising, which was the cause of the demise of the Han Dynasty, knows how terrifying the power of the people's gathering is.

What's more, it's not just the common people who listen to His Highness, the hundreds of thousands of security forces Wuhouwei, hundreds of thousands of Tang troops, these forces combined with the strength of the common people, no one can resist.

After looking around at the faces of all the people present, Bei Zu's second room continued: "It can be said that His Highness did not mention anything about us in the newspaper, which is why we can sit here and talk about it now. premise."

"And these signals undoubtedly illustrate one point, that is, what His Highness the King of Qin conveyed to us, within the scope of legality and within the scope of the laws of the Tang Dynasty, it doesn't matter how we marry, everyone has the right to choose. But if you violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the consequences will be dire."

"Langya Xu did too much, but the consequences are not too serious. The father of this newly promoted official named Wang Xi from the Langya Wang family only has broken legs, and it can be healed after a period of time. The problem Not big."

"If his father died because of this incident, the Langya Xu family might die a lot of people. It is definitely not something that can be solved by just Xu Yin."

"So, each of our families must pay attention to this point. Over the past few years, I believe you have all seen the pattern of His Royal Highness King Qin. It is very simple. Follow the development of the country and comply with the laws of the country. Then how should our family develop? The court will not care."

"But if we break the law..." Beizu didn't say much about the rest of the second room, but everyone understood it.
