Just when Li Yuanba was happy that his father was relieved and let him fight against Xue Yantuo, in the mansion of the Wang family in Taiyuan, more than 600 kilometers away from Chang'an City, Wang Hao, who was the patriarch of the Wang clan, grabbed a vase on the table and slammed it to the ground, splashing broken porcelain pieces on the ground.

Seeing that the patriarch of the family was angry, the other Wang clan members sitting in the hall glanced at each other, with a hint of helplessness in their eyes.

"Patriarch, I just confirmed the news from the other six families, the day before yesterday, I and the Qiwang clan failed, and in Chang'an City, anyone who had anything to do with my five surnames and Qiwang family was arrested by the generals of the Weifu and imprisoned in the newly established Dali Temple Edict Prison!"

Sitting at the top of the right is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his thirties, this person is wearing a white scholar's suit, and he looks a little similar to Wang Hao, his name is Wang Si, and he is the youngest of Wang Hao's brothers.

Usually, Wang Si doesn't care about things in the family, but because he has been smart since he was a child, and he worships the great Confucianism in the clan as his teacher, when there is something in the clan, he will play the role of a military advisor. Therefore, at this time, only when he speaks, Wang Hao will listen.

Sure enough, Wang Hao, who was originally full of anger, gradually became bitter after hearing his brother's words: "Seventh brother, you also know that this incident is related to the prosperity of my race!" Moreover, the clansmen in Chang'an City are the elite of most of my Wang clan, if they are lost in the hands of Li Shimin, the power of my Taiyuan Wang clan will inevitably shrink significantly! ”

The more Wang Hao spoke, the more angry he became, and finally he slammed the table on one side with his fist.

In fact, he didn't care about the life or death of the rest of the clan, but his own son Wang Zihao was now also imprisoned in Dali Temple.

Wang Hao has lived to the present in this life. gave birth to such a son, and the others are seven daughters, if his son is really bad, his branch will be broken!

"Patriarch, it's useless to be angry now! And it's not just my Taiyuan Wang clan that has lost this time. Several others are just as uncomfortable! The most important thing now is how we should respond to the next offensive of the imperial court! ”

At this moment, the purple-robed man sitting opposite Wang Si, the first seat on the left, spoke.

This is an old man with a white beard, he looks different from other Wang clansmen with the style of scholars, he is extremely burly. The appearance is also very powerful.

This old guy's name is Wang Han, and he is the great elder of the Taiyuan Wang clan, and some things in the clan can even be directly ordered by Wang Han.

Seeing that the Great Elder had spoken, Wang Si hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said:

"Patriarch. The Great Elder is right! This time, we are acting in rebellion, according to his Li Shimin's character, it is absolutely to kill everything and cut the grass and eradicate the roots! If I don't think of a good countermeasure now, when the army is overwhelmed, I'm afraid that my Taiyuan Wang clan will be wiped out! ”

Wang Si's words as a military advisor aroused a resonance among the people present, who were afraid of death.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the difference in strength between the five surnames and Qiwang and the Tang Dynasty. If he, Li Shimin, really didn't care about the invasion of the Fanbang barbarians, and was determined to destroy their five surnames and seven hopes, it would be a matter of three or two years. Their royal family will be completely wiped out!

However, these guys in the lobby were noisy and noisy, and they couldn't come up with a solution to the problem, so in desperation, Wang Hao, who had a headache, waved his hand directly. Let the people disperse.

In the Tang Dynasty, only Wang Si, Wang Han and their Wang family's big housekeeper Wang Hongtao were left.

……

There was no need for other Wang clansmen to bother. Wang Hao was silent for a long time and said, "Everyone. Let's talk about it, what should we do now? ”

"Master, at the moment, Datang is suffering from internal and external troubles, and from a small point of view, the saint may not dare to do anything to our five surnames and seven hopes!"

The first to speak this time was the housekeeper Wang Hongtao, speaking of which he was not an outsider, his ancestors were also the main lineage of the Taiyuan Wang family, but for some reason, he was suddenly expelled from the Wang family.

Later, Wang Hao saw that Wang Hongtao was cautious, so he began to deliberately cultivate, and finally accepted it into the Wang family, although he did not take back the main line, but in the ancestral land of the Wang family, he still has a lot of power.

"Patriarch, what Steward Wang said is extremely true! My five surnames and seven wangs have been operating in their respective counties for many years, and they already have a close relationship with the local state government, if Li Shimin wants to use troops against us, he must first think about the consequences! ”

Hearing Wang Hongtao's words, Wang Si nodded silently and said: "In addition, the incident the day before yesterday dragged Tubo, with the character of Songtsen Gampo, he will definitely not give up!" With the threat of Tubo, Li Shimin is even more proficient in throwing rat bogey! ”

As soon as Wang Si's words came out, Wang Hao's brows furrowed, and after a long while, he said: "Seventh brother, what if you and Hong Tao talk about the land is only one of the possibilities, what if Li Shimin comes to attack our Qiwang House regardless of everything?" We won't have much strength to resist then! ”

And Wang Han next to him also frowned and said, "Yes, back then, in order to get the throne, he Li Shimin even ignored the east. Suddenly. He brazenly launched the Xuanwumen Incident, and then shook himself and became the saint of my Tang Dynasty! Although the humiliation of Weishui afterwards made Li Shimin lose face, he still did it after all! Right now, I really can't tell if he, Li Shimin, will go crazy again for the dominance of the Li family! ”

Wang Hao looked at the three people in the lobby, two of them said that Li Shimin did not dare to use troops against them, and Jian Yiyi did not move; The other coincides with his own opinions, taking precautions, planning and then acting.

"Alas!"

After pondering for a long time, Wang Hao, who couldn't figure out why he came, sighed heavily and said, "Hong Tao, you immediately fly the pigeon and pass the book, contact the other six, I need to find out their tone!" ”

"Yes!"

A faint glint flashed in Wang Hongtao's eyes, and he responded respectfully and exited the lobby.

……

Compared with Wang Hao's distressed mood after knowing the failure of the uprising, Li Yuanba was in a good mood, as comfortable as eating ginseng fruit.

Why?

It's not that the old man of his own family is relieved and is willing to let him go to the front line to fight Xue Yantuo!

hummed the "Drunken Concubine" all the way back to the palace, and as soon as he entered the mansion, he asked the palace guards on duty: "Where is the white butler?" ”

"Back to the prince, Butler Bai is counting the treasury in the backyard!"

The palace guards on duty have just changed shifts, otherwise, if they change people, they may not be able to answer Li Yuanba's question.

"Oh, then, you go and call Bai Fu to this king." Li Yuanba gave the order to the guard, and walked into the Chunhua Hall by himself.

I will leave in two days, and there are still many things to arrange in the house, and after explaining the affairs of the house, I will go and talk to Wushun about the expedition.

Well, as for how to talk to Wu Shun, this is more difficult! (To be continued) R580
