After hearing Zheng Renji's words, Wei Zheng suddenly stopped, turned around, and said to Zheng Renji: "Lord Zheng, if you Shandong Hao clan don't want to let the grain, grass and equipment that secretly support the traitor Liu Heimin go to waste, you still want to enter the inner court meeting, participate in the decision-making of the imperial court, and obtain enough political rights. Wei Zheng had an idea that could meet the political needs of Lord Zheng and the entire wealthy clan in Shandong. ”

After hearing Wei Zheng's words, Zheng Renji was surprised, but soon he looked at Wei Zheng vigilantly and said, "Lord Wei, will it be so good?" To meet the political needs of my Shandong wealthy family, I am afraid that the price paid by my Shandong wealthy family will not be too small. ”

Wei Zheng said with a smile: "I'm just mentioning it, as for how to decide, it depends on the decision of Lord Zheng and the heads of the wealthy families in Shandong after discussion. ”

Zheng Renji said noncommittally: "Well, then you can mention it." I'll see what good ideas you have? ”

Wei Zheng said: "The wealthy family of Shandong fully supports His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

"Support the construction of the crown prince?" Jung In-gi asked.

Wei Zheng replied affirmatively: "Yes, support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent and filial, generous, courteous and virtuous, and is the prince of my Tang Dynasty, and has always been supported by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and His Royal Highness the King of Qi. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is tens of millions of times better than the traitor Liu Heimin, who your Shandong wealthy clan was forced to choose to support, and it is much better than the Wagang Mountain Wei Gong Li Mi, Luoyang Zheng Wang Shichong, and Hebei Xia King Dou Jiande, who were carefully selected by your Shandong Hao clan. This world belongs to the Tang Dynasty, and the world after this is His Royal Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty. This time, your Shandong wealthy clan has made a promise not to support the traitor Liu Heimin, and the 20,000 troops of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be able to defeat the army of the traitor Liu Heimin within a month and capture and kill the traitor Liu Heimin. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returns triumphantly, his prestige and military power will inevitably reach his peak, and he will inevitably be able to completely suppress the unruly King Qin, and His Majesty the Tang Emperor will support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so much, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ascend to the throne, it will inevitably be a matter of time. If at this time, your Shandong wealthy family fully supports His Royal Highness the Prince, and you want to enter the inner court meeting, want to gain more power in the Tang Dynasty, gain enough influence, and have enough right to speak, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely support it, and His Majesty the Emperor will readily agree. In the future, when the prince ascends the throne, you will be the prince's henchmen, from the ministers of the dragon, the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty power center will inevitably have a place for your Shandong wealthy family. In this way, I wonder what Master Zheng thinks? ”

After listening to Wei Zheng's words, Zheng Renji's eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart was moved. He was moved by the surprise that Wei Zheng had sent. At present, he is still very clear about the situation in Chang'an, the imperial capital. The crown prince and the king of Qin competed, and the prince was supported by His Majesty the emperor, and joined forces with Yuanji, the king of Qi, to suppress the king of Qin without the power to fight back. The future of the crown prince is the best, he is the prince, and he is also the future son of heaven, at this time, if the Shandong wealthy family can climb the relationship built by the prince, it is indeed a lot of benefits. Climbing to the crown prince, the political needs that were originally intended to be had, will definitely be achieved. As long as the crown prince is on the throne, the prince will definitely hand over more political power to the wealthy family in Shandong. The wealthy families of Shandong can completely stand firm in the Tang Dynasty and have political rights that match their strength. Originally, I thought that the mountains and rivers were exhausted and there was no way out, but I didn't expect another village.

Wei Zheng smiled at the change in Zheng Renji's facial expression, and was very proud in his heart. He believed that the wealthy family of Shandong would definitely choose to support the crown prince. can only force a person to a dead end, and give him another life-saving straw. No matter how illusory and unrealistic that straw is, the person who is driven to a dead end will definitely hold on to it and will not let go until death.

After thinking for a long time, Zheng Renji raised his head, smiled, and said politely to Wei Zheng: "Support the crown prince, this matter is too important, I hope Lord Wei can give us some time, and let us discuss before answering." ”

Wei Zheng said with a smile: "I believe that the heads of the wealthy families in Shandong have chosen to support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Cooperation is beneficial to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and to the wealthy families of Shandong; If you don't cooperate, it will have little impact on His Royal Highness the Prince, but for your Shandong wealthy family, you have missed an opportunity to enter the Tang Dynasty and control the power of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Zheng Renji said: "Supporting the prince, my Shandong wealthy family will consider it carefully." This opportunity is indeed too rare for our Shandong wealthy family. ”

"Then Wei Zheng said goodbye." With that, Wei Zheng left Zheng Renji's mansion.

In the evening, the heads of the Cui family in Qinghe, the head of the Wang family in Taiyuan, the head of the Lu family in Fanyang and other heads of the Shandong Hao clan in Chang'an gathered at the mansion of General Youwuwei, the head of the Zheng clan in Xingyang, and the head of the Shandong Hao clan, Zheng Renji.

Zheng Renji saw that all the heads of the families had arrived, so he spoke: "This morning, the prince's confidant and advisor, the crown prince Xian Ma Wei Zheng, came to visit my mansion, and on behalf of His Royal Highness the prince, he asked the wealthy family of Shandong to give up supporting the traitor Liu Heimin, and I agreed. ”

The head of the Taiyuan Wang family stood up and said, "How can you agree to this? Our Shandong Hao clan has invested a lot of food and equipment before, and now it has not met our requirements, our people have not yet entered the inner court meeting, and our political needs have not been met by Datang? ”

Zheng Renji looked at the head of the Taiyuan Wang family angrily and said, "This is not a good idea of yours? Wei Zheng said that if we don't stop supporting the traitor Liu Heimin, he will inform the Tang Emperor Li Yuan of our secret support for the traitor Liu Heimin. I'm afraid I won't say what the consequences will be, but everyone here knows it in their hearts. We can't just watch the thousand-year-old family business be destroyed. ”

The head of the Taiyuan Wang family was silent and did not dare to speak, while the other heads of the wealthy family in Shandong were silent, they were all wealthy families that had been inherited for hundreds of years, and the family had a big business, who would want to let the family be destroyed by their own hands? That's all the savings and hard work of our ancestors, and it also involves the life and death and interests of tens of thousands of children, because of the support for the traitor Liu Heimin, the family was wiped out, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Zheng Renji swept the silent heads of the families one by one with a sharp eye, and then said: "Wei Zheng hopes that our Shandong Hao clan can support the establishment of the crown prince. I didn't say yes on the spot, let's all discuss. The crown prince is a good person, strength and potential, as long as we take refuge, he will let us enter the Tang Dynasty Inner Court to meet our political needs, and he will also give us more power, so that we have more influence and voice in the Tang Dynasty. ”
