Li Xingchen returned to China and caused a sensation.

The reason is not to win the war.

You must know that the people of Great Wei have long been accustomed to their own emperor's expeditions and wins, and there is no such thing as losing.

What made them sensational was that Li Xingchen introduced foreign talents into his country, and couldn't help but discuss privately whether he wanted to do something to the Great Wei family!

Many people know that it is not good for the family to become big, it is extremely harmful to the people, and it also has an impact on the rights of the court.

The stronger the family, the more aspects it controls, and the people can only endure it if they don't like it.

But now...

For a while, the discussion in the capital was intense, and at the same time, the major families were also shocked and angry.

Since the Situ Cong family was suppressed, the Zhang family and the Qiao family have become the first families in the world.

The overall strength of the Qiao family was not as good as that of the Zhang family, but Li Xingchen didn't want the family to be dominant, so he secretly supported the Qiao family and let its economy compete with the Zhang family in a very short period of time.

Zhang Tian immediately convened a meeting of the major families in the capital, and more than a dozen family heads gathered in the secret room for a meeting.

"Master Zhang, what does Li Xingchen mean?" A head of the house is unceremoniously called him by his first name.

Many of them were very dissatisfied with Li Xingchen, thinking that he was cutting them off and giving them sticks.

If it weren't for Li Xingchen being too strong, they couldn't do anything, and he would have nothing to do with him a long time ago, and it would be a big deal to support the next monarch.

In the final analysis, the power is not as good as others, and he has to accept Li Xingchen's mercy.

Zhang Tian twisted his eyebrows, he swore an oath in the imperial study and was loyal to Li Xingchen.

Although it was only a verbal oath, there was no disrespect for Li Xingchen in his heart.

Plus he's a smart guy and doesn't bother to tell lies, so allegiance is still allegiance.

It's just that all of this must be on the premise of ensuring the interests of the family, once the family infringes, he can tear his face with Li Xingchen at any time.

"What do you mean? Naturally, they want to suppress us and others. ”

With Li Xingchen's series of reforms, Zhang Tian had to adjust the family's control over the following.

The slaves and merchants who used to depend on the family for survival were treated harshly by the family.

Now different, Zhang Tian changed his strategy to make the family top management always have a humble heart, maintain friendliness, give favors, and enhance cohesion.

Repression will only lose people's hearts, and only by winning over can they gather people's hearts.

"It's too much, the family has made concessions again and again, and he has to make inches. In the final analysis, Situ Cong made a wrong step and made a wrong step, which led to the distribution of the frontier. ”

"If he had been here, it would have been different."

There was a lot of talk and anger at this.

Since Li Xingchen ascended the throne, for so many years, he has been persecuting and suppressing them.

The people at the bottom say that he is good, where is he good? Is it okay to invent something? Did he confiscate the money? The wool comes out of the sheep, and isn't it essentially a businessman? A merchant in sheep's clothing!

"What if it's excessive?" A family head sighed, "Li Xingchen's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and it is impossible to target him in the capital." Unless it is far away from Jiangcheng, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and it is convenient to do things.

The more remote the place, the less the people knew who the emperor was.

But want to find such a place in Dawei? Is it possible? Where can cars and horses get through? In the mountains? Where did the Maison go? Isn't that a joke? ”

The conference room was silent for some time, and suddenly a head of the house spoke.

"Why don't we support the former prince back on the throne? You must know that he is the real son-in-law... How can there be a concubine who shows off his might. ”

Everyone gasped and looked at the man with shock in their eyes.

Re-support for the former prince? It's called rebellion!

Now that Li Xingchen has ascended the throne, then his vein has become a descendant, and he still has a fart relationship with the former prince?

And judging from Li Xingchen's decisive character, once they visit, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Zhang Tian twitched the corners of his mouth and said in a deep voice: "Have you ever thought about the consequences of failure?" ”

At the beginning, Li Xingchen was just the prince who was expelled from the royal family, and his strength was strong enough, but now he is the emperor of Great Wei, and his strength is even stronger, which makes people even more jealous.

"The consequences of failure are terrible."

"If you don't fight for it, the outcome is undecided."

"Yes, if you don't act now, I'm afraid it won't be long before our family will be suppressed and we will have no face to see our ancestors."

The heads of the family began to talk again.

Rather than being suppressed and suffocating to death, it is better to stand up and die vigorously.

The former will surely die, and the latter will have a chance of life.

Zhang Tian twisted his eyebrows, "Everyone, this is not good, although Your Majesty is suppressing us and others, he is not fighting to the death." ”

Now is different from the past, he is nominally Li Xingchen's person, he is afraid that once he rebels, the Zhang family will die without a place to be buried, and the best ending is that the Situ family will be sent to the frontier like that.

Among these people, he knew Li Xingchen the best, and felt that Li Xingchen just wanted to disintegrate the strength and influence of the family and form a checks and balances.

"Master Zhang, are you cowardly? You are now the leader of a first-class family, and the position is not hot, Li Xingchen has started to be a demon again, with a big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other, he is playing with us..."

Zhang Tian shook his head, "It has nothing to do with this." ”

None of them had dealt with Li Xingchen much, and it seemed naïve to say this, but those who had dealt with Li Xingchen knew how terrifying he was.

Rashly declaring war with him, no matter whether he supports the former prince or the former second prince, the consequences are unimaginable, and the family will fall into a place of no return.

"What to explain, cowardice is cowardice, today I will put my words here, whether you want to or not, I will take action to support the former prince to return to the throne." The head of the third-rate Qian family said with a gloomy face.

"Brother Qian, why are you so angry? If you want to do this, it depends on whether the two former princes are willing to do so.

After so many years, no matter how ambitious people are, they have been smoothed out, and they can't support them if they want to. Another head of the house said.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded, each with their own ideas, and it was difficult to unify the policy.

completely tore his face with Li Xingchen, and many of them were unwilling. But I don't want to be suppressed by Li Xingchen all the time.

"Still have questions? If not, I'm going to find the former prince. The head of the Qian family got up to leave.

"Brother Qian, if you have to do this, don't talk nonsense at that time. Your personal thoughts do not represent the thoughts of all of us. My Zhang family doesn't have this kind of thought..."Zhang Tian said in a deep voice.

He didn't want to offend Li Xingchen, the head of the Qian family dared to run to find the former prince, and he would definitely be known by Li Xingchen.

The capital is full of people from the intelligence department, and after the two former princes were captured from the Turks last time, they were released after being locked up for a while, and they have always been in the capital and secretly monitored.

The head of the Qian family snorted coldly, didn't speak, turned around and left.

Immediately after, the urgent words of the family heads sounded behind him.

"Brother Qian, don't talk about what my Liu family thinks, my Liu family has no ideas."

"Brother Qian, and my Wang family, I don't have any ideas!"
