When Li Xin was calculating others, someone was also calculating Li Xin. This group of Shandong families gathered together, that is, at the boundary bridge only a few hundred miles east of Yecheng, the Shandong Hebei family led by Cui Shuzhong gathered together, and Li Yuan's failure was also expected by everyone, but what they didn't expect was that things would develop so quickly, so fast that everyone was not ready. Li Yuan failed in a hurry, and he failed completely.

"Li Shimin died, and Li Yuan also died the night before yesterday."

Uncle Cui threw aside the information in his hand, his old face was much gloomy, he looked around and said, "This world has really let Li Xin sit firmly, and I'm afraid that we, the big families, have to think about the situation we have to face now." ”

"Li Xin is really vicious, and even killed his own father-in-law." Zheng Shanguo snorted coldly and said: "It is definitely not our blessing for such a person to become an emperor. ”

He was very angry in his heart, but the person he supported failed, whether it was Li Jiancheng or Li Shimin, it was the same, and in the end they all fulfilled the others, and this person was still Li Xin, who he didn't like the most, which made him unbearable.

"So what?" The head of the Bohai Gao family said disdainfully: "My Kanto family has a long history, no matter who becomes the emperor, they can't avoid contact with my Kanto family. Tsk, Lord Dugu, are you returning to Guanzhong now? Or is it also a member of my Kanto family? The old man looked at Dugu Huaien in the corner, and said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Hehe, my Dugu family is now a phoenix with lost hair, not as good as a chicken, where can I manage so much, it is already very good to have the emperor leave a life." Dugu Huaien glanced at everyone, but there was a trace of disdain in his heart, these guys still have the heart to discuss here, Li Xintun soldiers in Yecheng, and did not leave Hebei, which means that his next target is to point to these Kwantung families.

"Brother Lu. The new dynasty attaches the most importance to land, if it is about land, it should belong to my Cui family and Lu family the most, Zheng's family, Gao's family and Dugu's family are not much land, I don't know what Brother Lu's plans are? Uncle Cui looked at Lu Danghu and said.

"What can you plan, the land is our lifeblood, we must not hand it over, our family has a big business, if we lose the land, I am afraid how can we strengthen ourselves in the future?" Lu Danghu said without thinking about it.

After Dugu Huaien listened. He sneered and said: "Brother Lu, you are so naïve, your family occupies so much land in Youzhou, and most of the land in Youzhou is owned by your Lu family, or has something to do with your Lu family, I heard that when His Majesty the Emperor passed through Zhuo County, you didn't go to see him." Tsk, Brother Lu, Brother Lu, you are so bold! ”

After Lu Danghu listened. His complexion changed, when Li Xin was in Zhuo County, he didn't go to visit, not that he didn't want to visit. Instead, he wanted to put on a shelf, and when Li Xin was called, he always wanted people to invite him over. It's a pity that Li Xin originally thought that he was fighting the world, where did he think of the Lu clan, although the Lu clan is very powerful, if it really provokes Li Xin's temper, it is not impossible to send troops to conscript, aren't these families taught a hard lesson by Wu Zetian in history? Now that Li Xin is coming, it will at most cause a burst of chaos.

"Our question now is what to do with our land? Some of the land can be given away, but it is absolutely not possible to give away all of it, and we also bought these lands, not forcibly occupied them. If you want us to quit all the land, that's impossible. Zheng Shanguo shook his head and said.

After the fall of Xingyang, the Zheng family bought a lot of land in Hebei, Youzhou and other places, in order to one day return to one of the five surnames and seven wangs in Shandong.

In fact, this kind of thing has existed in all dynasties, at the beginning of the founding of the country, it was the first division of forces, and then after a hundred years of the empire, land annexation began, and the Zheng family wanted to keep their position, so they had to get more land. At this time, Li Xin was ready to do something on the root of everyone's lives, but Zheng Shanguo was naturally unwilling.

"What do you think Li Xin will do to us? Will they kill us all at once, or will they boil frogs in warm water? Cui Shuzhong said lightly: "Although Li Xin has unified the world, our Kanto family is not the target of his bullying, if you want to attack us, the entire Kanto will rebel again." ”

"Do we have private soldiers? Do you still want to support which bandit you can't succeed? Patriarch Gao looked at Cui Shuzhong and said: "The current bandits will be the focus of Li Jing and others, Li Xin is in Yecheng, and the general Li Jing commands the army, crisscrossing Hebei, Shandong and other places, mainly to fight the bandits of Hebei and others, we shoot at this time, that is, we want to find death." ”

"Then rebuild the private army." Uncle Cui didn't want to think about it and said: "Private soldiers are an important guarantee for our family, if we lose private soldiers, who will protect this property?" Aren't those untouchables and untouchables looking for trouble with us? ”

"I'm afraid it's impossible." Dugu Huaien said disdainfully: "Look at who has private soldiers in the Guanzhong family, Li Xin's least favorite is private soldiers, especially you, the Li family can repeatedly fight against Li Xin, don't our family's private soldiers occupy an important role?" At this time, let's allow us to have private soldiers? Didn't Li Xin slap himself in the face? Whoever wants to build a private army, Li Xin's sword is the first person to deal with, this is more sensitive than the land. ”

"The family has had private soldiers since ancient times, does Li Xin still want to destroy us?" Cui Min said coldly. His Cui family has a big business, if there are no private soldiers, then who will protect the family's property?

"Master, there is news from Yecheng that the imperial court has appointed Wei Zheng as the ambassador and counselor of Hebei and Shandong to inspect Hebei and Shandong." At this time, someone from outside came to report.

"He struck first." Uncle Cui was extremely dissatisfied, originally thought that Li Xin would wait for himself and others to arrive before starting to attack Shandong and Hebei, but he didn't expect Li Xin to do it so quickly, and the speed of the move was so fast, and he asked Wei Zheng to come to inspect Shandong and Hebei at once. Wei Zheng is resolute and decisive, not money can be bought, if this person comes to Shandong and Hebei, it will definitely be a disaster for the family.

"It's so hateful, what does he do with our Shandong family? Is it really in the hands of life, death, and plunder? Zheng Shanguo couldn't help but say loudly. (To be continued.) )
