Sun Xiangfu's muffled voice is developing in Jiuyuan County, completely ignoring outside things, but it doesn't mean that people outside don't care about him, and even, some people care more about his every move than Li Shimin, especially the Wang family, they are very satisfied with Sun Xiangfu's current state.

Dingxiangcheng Wang's Hotel, Wang Xu rarely invited the rest of the family, as well as representatives of small and medium-sized families in many places to have a banquet, if it weren't for Wang Hao's previous operation, in Datang, it would be difficult for terror to appear this kind of banquet where the core figures of the family gathered together.

Of course, even now, there are many large and small mountains.

First of all, the Wang family, whose strength is the best among the others, has become a mountain itself, and then, the Cui family, whose strength is second only to the Wang family and monopolizes almost the entire northeast trade, is another mountain, and their banner has gathered a large number of small and medium-sized families of the original Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje, as well as the tribal leaders of Buyeo, Jin, Khitan, Xia, and Murowei, and their overall strength is stronger than that of the Wang family.

However, the strongest ones are still the five families that are rooted in Shangqi City, they are the alliance of the five top families, although the alliance is not very close, but its energy bursts out, which is not comparable to any group.

Of course, the strength of an emerging group is not bad, the Guanzhong family group headed by the Wei and Yang families, they may not be enough to match any of the seven families with five surnames, but they are better than the number of medium-sized families, second- and third-rate medium-sized families, there are twenty or thirty, and there are more than 100 small families below the third rate, which is also a force that is not weaker than other mountains.

After that, the Luoyang Family Group, the Huainan Family Group, the Jiangnan Family Group, the Shandong Family Group, and the Shuzhong Family Group are even the next order of magnitude, as for the ones in Shannan Road, they are basically not ranked now.

"I invite you to come here today just to discuss with you where the future of our family is." As the host of today's banquet, Wang Xu took the lead in speaking after all the families had almost arrived.

This is his first public appearance since taking over as the head of the Wang family, and it is not important to him to talk about it, the important thing is that as the current family with the highest strength in the world, he wants to put on the momentum of the leader.

"A way out? When Wang Gongzi said this, it was as if I was about to be forced to a dead end, this should be, but your Wang family has a scum like Wang Hao, and I feel a sense of crisis! Now the business is getting better and better in all aspects, and there is a momentum of rise, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like the time to find a way! Wang Xu wanted to put on a show, but naturally there were people who were unwilling to let him get his wish, Lu Wenzhong, as one of the representatives of the five families in Shangqi City who had already been with the Wang family, took the lead in singing the opposite tone as soon as Wang Xu finished speaking.

Not to mention, there are still many people who agree with his counterattack, especially the Guan Long family and the Northeast family tribal group represented by the Qinghe Cui family, they are all in the rising stage of their careers now!

"Really? If that's the case, why did you respond to the call of my Wang family and play such a big scene around Sun Zhengming before? Is it really for friendship? When it comes to friendship, I'm afraid that I am closer to Brother Zhengming! Wang Xu looked at Lu Wenzhong with mocking eyes.

In fact, the people who came to this banquet understood in their hearts that the era of their family, relying on monopolizing knowledge, exploiting the people, controlling resources, and gaining the right to speak in the country, was coming to an end.

The second imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty that will be held in Chang'an soon made all the families panic, because, as of mid-September, more than 20,000 students from all over the country who went to Chang'an to apply for the examination have been as high as more than 20,000, and in the last period of time, the number of students who arrived in Chang'an from other places to apply for the examination is still growing explosively, and it is estimated that the number of references can exceed 50,000.

This is the Tang Dynasty to promote the school to the county level, after three years of implementation, the results achieved, just three years, so that there are more than four times more children of the poor family who are officials than before, which makes those people from the family family can't imagine that if it goes on like this, when the third and fourth imperial examinations are held, what will be the scene?

You must know that now Datang has a population of more than 30 million and more than 2,000 counties, and there will be more and more ordinary families with the conditions for studying.

If all these poor students flock to the officialdom, then, within ten years, the people of their family lineage will have at least half of their voice in the officialdom, and after twenty years, they will be a minority in the court.

This is the general trend, unless they rebel now, otherwise, they can't reverse it at all.

However, are they, the big families, willing to be reduced to ordinary businessmen and the like who can be easily strangled to death by the imperial court?

This is a situation that they absolutely do not allow to appear, and the greatest wish of their family is to pass on power, wealth, and wealth from generation to generation, so that their children and grandchildren can be superior people.

And Wang Hao, it is precisely by grasping their psychology that they reached an agreement with them, and now, Wang Xu jumped out to call on everyone, the meaning is obvious, to continue some of Wang Hao's previous propositions, from another angle, so that the family's power, wealth, can be continued, this time, they directly bet on Li Shimin's number one thug against the family, Sun Zhengming, which makes everyone feel that the probability of success is very high.

Who is Sun Zhengming?

In the entire Tang Dynasty, except for the emperor, the most famous people, all the people of the three major classes of peasants, workers, and merchants recognized him, which accounted for more than half of the group in this society.

As long as he is tied to the family's interest groups, then, at least, the imperial power will no longer pose a threat to them.

Because, Sun Zhengming, who has won the support of the family class, is equivalent to the support of the four major social groups of Shinong, industry and commerce, and no matter how capable Li Shimin is, it is impossible for him to defeat the whole world.

Of course, it does not mean that the people will choose Sun Xiangfu between Li Shimin and Sun Xiangfu, but that when Li Shimin wants to make a difference and deal with them, it will be difficult, because someone has enough strength to stop him, and for this reason, their family must make a big change in thinking and action strategy.

Because, first of all, they want to obtain Sun Xiangfu's approval, then they can no longer use the old models that relied on exploiting people's labor and monopolizing knowledge in the past.

The model that Wang Hao provided them with reference during his lifetime was based on capital.

The family has now lost its monopoly on knowledge, because Li Shimin and Sun Xiangfu vigorously promoted the development of the education system, and they also lost the ability to exploit the people, because Li Shimin and Sun Xiangfu vigorously promoted the new law and the reform of the civil rights system.

Then, all they have left now is capital.

Wei Zheng in history is to use morality and law to lock the monarchy, however, unsuccessful, Wang Hao, who has a dream experience, has read pseudo-history in a dream, and after summarizing, he came to the conclusion that the monarchy dictatorship must not last long, and when he talked to Sun Xiangfu for the first time, he pointed out this problem.

Wang Hao felt that Sun Xiangfu was the most intelligent person in the world, and after having his own tips, he would definitely find a way to reverse the situation.

Because, one thing he firmly believes is that the more beautiful, beautiful and developed this Tang Dynasty is built by Sun Xiangfu, the more he doesn't want anyone to easily destroy it, and who is the easiest to destroy such a beautiful world?

It's the interior, it's the monarch.

The founding generations of emperors, no matter how good they built the country, they couldn't stand the messing around of one or two faint monarchs behind, and they didn't need to be top smart, and people who were a little smart saw this, especially since the end of the Han Dynasty, this era of frequent dynasty changes.

And if you want to avoid such a situation, you will definitely go to Wang Hao's previous thinking, constitutional monarchy, joint discussion of politics by consortiums, and let the big families who have mastered capital and resources master politics together.

Wang Hao's set is simply the best way out designed for these families, so even if they are very hostile to the Wang family and very optimistic about Wang Xu, the young head of the Wang family, they also chose to come to the banquet.

After all, in their opinion, this thing is very likely to succeed, and after success, it is to prevent them, the family, from being drowned by other classes in this round of people's wisdom and the reshuffle of the entire social class.

Of course, when they were not sure to challenge Li Shimin's dominance, no one dared to explain that they only wanted to elect the person who could best promote this matter as their leader.

Even, they are not in a hurry to solve this problem in Li Shimin's dynasty, even if they wait for another twenty or thirty years, and the next generation of emperors will take the throne before launching it, they are acceptable.

The former Sui Kaiguo is also very strong! It's not the same as dying in a few decades, although Li Tang is strong, as long as he uses the right method, it may not be impossible to be overthrown by them after a few decades, and then finally establish a new country jointly governed by the family consortium.

After such calculations, Sun Xiangfu, who was dismissed from office, became their first choice.

He has enough ability, enough energy, enough popular support, and he is young enough to survive Li Shimin, he should still be in the prime of life, and he is perfect in all aspects.

It's just that the problem they are encountering at present is that Sun Xiangfu does not cooperate with them, so how to get Sun Xiangfu to cooperate with them is what they want to do now.

Before Wang Hao died, he expected that Sun Xiangfu would not be able to cooperate with these people, so he arranged a series of strategies to divide the relationship between Li Shimin and Sun Xiangfu, of course, these are just appetizers, after he pointed out the general direction, the Wang clan's elders, as well as the think tanks of each family, began to plan and supplement specific actions, and the theme of this banquet is actually an exchange between their families after careful consideration, in order to achieve a unified pace in future actions, Complete the layout step by step.
