"My lord, why did you gather us here?"

Zhang Yun is the oldest one among all the people, and he is also the one with the highest prestige, so everyone didn't speak, only he opened his mouth and asked Liu Zheng first.

Liu Zheng's gaze looked at everyone.

"Who are you?"

Although Liu Zheng sent people to invite some powerful families, Liu Zheng didn't know them, Liu Zheng only knew Gu Yong and Lu Jun who were present, and the other two, Zhang Yun and Quan Rou, didn't have any impression.

Even if Liu Zheng is a traverser, he doesn't have much impression of these two, so he can only ask first who this person is.

"Under Zhang Yun, he is now the head of the Zhang family in Wu County."

"Zhang Yun, you are Zhang Yun, you have admired the name for a long time, and when I saw it today, I finally got to know you."

This is Zhang Yun, and the remaining one is Quan Rou.

Liu Zheng stopped asking, and immediately told the four people present about the purpose of inviting them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, your family, in the land of Jiangdong, is a famous and powerful family, do you want to go further and become a family, inherited for thousands of years, for thousands of generations?"

Liu Zheng opened his mouth and drew a big pie, so that the four people in front of him were all stunned, and they didn't know why, and the four of them glanced at each other.

It was Zhang Yun who spoke first.

"I don't know what Lord Liu Zheng is talking about?"

"As you know, I just occupied Yangzhou, and I don't want to leave in the future. So we need to do something in Yangzhou. ”

"The four of you are the representatives of Jiangdong, I want to ask you to assist me and occupy Jiangdong, you can nominate your descendants to serve in my official palace, and at the same time, you will also enjoy the protection of my Liu Zheng, basically, as long as you agree to fully support any of my decisions, any of you will accompany the foundation I have created, and they will continue together for a long time."

Liu Zheng didn't say much about his plan, his purpose was to co-opt these Jiangdong wealthy families, he only needed the support of these people, whether it was financial support or talent support.

It's all right, anyway, Liu Zheng is now short of money and people, just laid down the huge Yangzhou, many places need to spend money, just to compensate the soldiers who died in this war, Liu Zheng needs a lot of money.

After Liu Zheng's words were finished, several people present did not speak, but silently thought about the consequences of Liu Zheng's words.

Everyone is a smart person, otherwise it would not have prospered for several generations and become a wealthy family.

It is impossible to let them kneel and lick because of Liu Zheng's words, although Liu Zheng's strength is now strong enough to make them feel scared, but after all, they are still a big family, and they have the face of a big family.

Unless Liu Zheng can really come up with conditions that move them, they still have to weigh whether they can continue to exist in the era of the Han Dynasty when they defect to a thief like Liu Zheng.

Once Liu Zheng loses, they will gamble on the safety of the whole family for the choices they have made.

"Lord Liu Zheng, you want to send us away with just a few verbal promises, and there is no way to convince us with such empty gloves and white wolf words."

Zhang Yun opened his mouth and replied to Liu Zheng, wanting Liu Zheng to come up with something practical.

"Well, I know, if I don't show a little benefit, you won't follow me with all your heart, so let's put it this way, do you think it is possible for the Han Dynasty to recover its former glory?"

Liu Zheng didn't open his mouth to make a promise, because he also knew that what he promised empty words could not directly make these people believe.

He first wanted to let the people in front of him understand what kind of era it was.

After everyone listened to Liu Zheng's words, they all changed their faces slightly, at this time, talking about whether the Han Dynasty will decline, it is a taboo, not ordinary people dare to say it, but now this is Liu Zheng's territory, and it doesn't matter if they say it.

So after a moment of silence, a few people still spoke, and the first to speak was Quan Rou.

He is Shang Shulang of the imperial court, and he is the official position of the Han Dynasty, but since He Miao came to power, he has resigned at home, because he knows that the Han Dynasty is going to end, He Miao's relatives are in charge, the little emperor is young and ignorant, at least within ten years, he cannot govern in person, and the power is in the hands of his relatives, which is an extremely terrible thing for the Han Dynasty.

When the imperial power declines, the local heroes will become stronger, and when the local strength becomes stronger and stronger, it will be reduced to the appearance of the Great Zhou Emperor hundreds of years ago.

"Today's royal family, just like King Zhou, is only the Son of Heaven, but has no strength. The decline is inevitable, unless there is a powerful person who can dominate the world again, it is difficult to reproduce the strength of Gaozu and Emperor Wu. ”

After Quan Rou finished speaking, several other people nodded.

Acquiesced to Quan Rou's statement.

After all, what they think in their hearts is similar, and they don't think that the current Han dynasty can still reproduce the glory of hundreds of years ago, not to mention that there are several times that someone has reclaimed the emperor, and the power of the princes in various places alone is no longer something that the central government can suppress.

The strength of Liu Zheng, the anti-thief in front of them, has already made the imperial court very passive and unable to take care of it.

"In my opinion, as you think, since the Han Dynasty will fall sooner or later, there will always be one person who will unify the world again, and the world will be united for a long time, this person, why not me?"

Liu Zheng confidently said to the people present.

"You may say that I am a wolf, or you may say that I am not self-sufficient, but two hundred years ago, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, no one was optimistic about him, and a few years ago, no one was optimistic that a little Yellow Turban thief would be able to defeat Jiaozhou and Yangzhou, but what is happening now."

Liu Zheng briefly described his current strength.

"What I want to say is that in the future, if I can unify the world again like Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, you will have the skill of following the dragon, not to mention the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, how can you also be the marquis and worship the prime minister, and protect your descendants."

"Now it's up to you to choose, whether to join me or leave here."

"Join me, some of you must be at least a Taishou, and even become a staff officer in our army, if you don't want to follow me, you can also leave from here, I won't embarrass everyone."

Liu Zheng quickly finished his words, but when the last few words came out, everyone's faces obviously sank, because they all sensed that something was wrong from Liu Zheng's tone.

A few words to embarrass everyone, the tone is obviously heavier, they are not fools, they naturally understand, they are afraid of leaving, and there will be no good end.
