Chapter Eighty-Six: Knocking on the Shandong Hao Family

Wei Zheng looked at Zheng Renji, suddenly raised his voice, and said in a fierce voice: "Lord Zheng, I hope you don't have a shame. Wei is not here to ask you today, but to give you a warning on behalf of His Royal Highness the Prince. You must give up supporting the traitor Liu Heimin. If you dare to disobey, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will inform His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty of your secret support for the traitor Liu Heimin. The traitor Liu Heimin, whom you secretly supported, occupied the land of Hebei that originally belonged to the Tang Dynasty, killed more than 200,000 Hebei garrisons of the Tang Dynasty, and captured and killed Li Xuantong, the son of the Li royal family of Longyou and the governor of Dingzhou. You think that what you have done is perfect, and no one knows, but the prince and I are well aware of this, and we have evidence in our hands. Lord Zheng may not know, three days ago, the people sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had secretly contacted the commander of the 200,000 army in Hebei and Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, and he showed the prince that the traitor Liu Heimin was indeed secretly aided by the political forces in my Tang court, and the reason why the army under his command suffered a fiasco was also related to the political forces in the Tang Dynasty and the leakage of his conquest plan. And these should be the good things that you Shandong Hao family have done. I believe that if His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty knew all this, he would definitely be furious and uproot you and the other Shandong Hao clans who secretly opposed me in the Tang Dynasty. You and the heads of the wealthy families in Shandong are now in Chang'an, the imperial capital, and if Your Majesty wants to kill you, none of you will be able to escape. Poor Shandong Hao family, which has been inherited for nearly a thousand years, was overturned and destroyed in an instant in the hands of you, Lord Zheng and the heads of the Shandong Hao family of this generation. It's a pity. ”

Zheng Renji said with a sneer: "The prince is going to destroy my Shandong wealthy family? His appetite is not small, he exterminated us, with only 20,000 troops, did he want to exterminate the 400,000 army of the traitor Liu Heimin? Big joke. ”

Wei Zheng suddenly laughed loudly and said: "As long as your Shandong Hao clan is uprooted by His Majesty the Emperor, the traitor Liu Heimin will be completely cut off from grain, grass, equipment and supplies. Without you, wouldn't the 20,000 army led by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pacify the 400,000 army of the traitor Liu Heimin, who had no food and grass, no equipment, and a discouraged army? Zheng Renji Zheng, don't think that you Shandong Hao clan is too great, in this world, without anyone, the sun still rises. ”

Zheng Renji looked at Wei Zheng with a little fear, his face embarrassed. He said secretly in his heart: "I wanted to take advantage of the great momentum of the traitor Liu Heimin, who is secretly supported by the wealthy clan in Shandong, to blackmail his prince to build a sum of money, and let his prince build to meet the political needs of my Shandong wealthy family, but I didn't expect that his prince Jiancheng wanted to exterminate the traitor Liu Heimin at the same time, but also wanted to eradicate my Shandong wealthy family." The prince has built a vicious heart. ”

Wei Zheng looked at Zheng Renji, who was in a dilemma, and said with a slight smile: "Why is Lord Zheng scared?" Do you have the courage to secretly support the traitor Liu Heimin and oppose my Datang, don't you have the courage to bear the consequences of all this? ”

As he spoke, Wei Zheng slowly picked up a cup of tea, and slowly tasted it calmly: "Good tea, good tea." This is the secret tea bar made by the Shandong Hao family, and the whole world can only be tasted in the home of the Shandong Hao family. But it's a pity, once the Shandong Hao clan is exterminated by the imperial court, I am afraid that they will never be able to drink such good tea in the future. ”

Zheng Renji was at a loss, and his face became more and more ugly.

Wei Zheng gently put down the teacup and said with a long sigh: "The Shandong Hao family has a big business. Each family has developed to this day, it is after thousands of years of accumulation, generations of family elites for the development of the family, exhausted their efforts, painstakingly, only now there is a hard-won achievement of the high-ranking family, if in the hands of Zheng Daren's generation, once exterminated by the imperial court, Shandong Hao family has since disappeared, become a passing cloud. I'm afraid that under Jiuquan, Lord Zheng and the current heads of the wealthy families in Shandong will have no shame to face the ancestors and ancestors again, and they will no longer face the family elites who sacrifice themselves for the development of the family, and even the tens of thousands of children of the Shandong Hao clan who were innocently implicated in death will not be able to face it. ”

Zheng Renji's face turned pale, and he said helplessly: "You won, Lord Wei." The crown prince also won. My wealthy family in Shandong can't ignore the safety of my family and the children in the clan. The interests of the family are supreme, for the sake of the family, for the sake of tens of thousands of children in the clan, I, the patriarch, can be sacrificed. Lord Wei, you have grasped the weakness of my Shandong wealthy family. You say, how do you need my Shandong Hao family to do it? ”

Wei Zheng replied firmly: "The wealthy clan of Shandong must completely give up supporting the traitor Liu Heimin. During the pacification of Hebei by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if it is found that your Shandong Hao clan is still secretly supporting the traitor Liu Heimin, he will inform His Majesty the Tang Emperor of everything your Shandong Hao clan has done, so that you will be completely eradicated and die without a place to be buried. ”

Zheng Renji said helplessly: "Okay." Please tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that from today onwards, I, the wealthy clan of Shandong, will order to cut off all assistance to the traitor Liu Heimin, and will no longer secretly oppose the Tang Dynasty. I only hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can keep the secret for us and secretly help the traitor Liu Heimin, and we must not let His Majesty the Tang Emperor know. ”

Wei Zheng said with a smile: "As long as the Shandong Hao clan can stop aiding the traitor Liu Heimin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will never tell His Majesty the Tang Emperor about the secret assistance." ”

Zheng Renji said with palpitations: "That's good, that's good." ”

Seeing that Zheng Renji made it clear on behalf of the entire Shandong wealthy family, he would no longer support the traitor Liu Heimin. Wei Zheng slowly stood up and bowed to Zheng Renji: "Since Lord Zheng agreed, then Wei Zheng's mission will be completed." Wei Zheng took his leave. ”

Zheng Renji hurriedly stood up, bowed his hand and said, "Master Wei, go slowly." ”

Wei Zheng turned to leave. Just walked to the door of the hall. I heard Zheng Renji let out a long sigh and complained: "The 'good idea' from the head of the Luoyang Wang family." secretly supported the rebellion of the traitor Liu Heimin, so that the entire Tang Dynasty court had to pay attention to the existence of my Shandong wealthy family, meet the political needs of my Shandong wealthy family, enter the inner court meeting, and participate in the decision-making of the imperial court. Now it's okay, I didn't catch anything, and I wasted so much grain, grass and equipment from my Shandong wealthy family. It's really a loss for my wife and a soldier. Millions of loads of grain and grass, 500,000 pieces of weapons and equipment, just like that, are all the accumulation of many years of accumulation by each family, and they were all lost by the idea of the Luoyang Wang family master. It's really distressing. ”
