In the villa of Zheng's family in Xingyang Sigongfang, Luoyang, the last guest arrived. Zheng Yuande, who was the master, raised his wine glass and said, "In Zheng's memory, today should be the first time that various families gathered together. As the master, Zheng is extremely honored."

Zheng Yuande's words were always approved by everyone.

The more than 30 people here have taken root and reproduced in the North for many years. The heads and representatives of the most famous aristocratic families have a marriage relationship between them, from far to near. However, due to the road and other reasons, they usually take advantage of each other's red and white funeral opportunities to get together.

Today, if we hadn't discussed the topics that were related to the fate of the family, it would never have been possible to gather so many families together.

After a false and polite manner, I finally brought the topic to the topic.

Under the gaze of everyone, the first person to speak was Cui Sheng, the head of the Cui family of Qinghe.

The genealogy of the Cui family in Qinghe can be traced back to the Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period. Since the Western Han Dynasty, he lived in Qinghe County, so he was called the Cui family in Qinghe.

Cui Sheng can speak first in such an occasion, so he naturally has his proud capital.

"We gathered in Luoyang for only one thing. If Grandma Tang is allowed to act randomly, our aristocratic family will be in danger."

When everyone heard Cui Sheng directly called Li Yuan's nickname, they couldn't help laughing in unison. The solemn atmosphere just now slightly dissolved.

As the laughter gradually subsided, Cui Zheng, the head of the Cui family of Boling, said: "No matter who goes to the position, it cannot harm the interests of our aristocratic families. Yang Jian cannot do it, nor can Li Yuan."

Cui Zheng's resonance once again resonated with everyone.

Zhang Qianwei, the Zhang family leader who lives with Qinghe, bowed and said, "Our ancestors have overcome difficulties for thousands of years and have suffered many difficulties, which has led to their bloodlines today. Especially since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, our family has barely protected themselves. But unifying the world from the Yang and Sui Dynasty is a great opportunity for us to work together to revitalize the family business.

The Li family in Longxi had the will to sit in that position, so he let him sit. But he wanted to reform the coins, restrict, or even weaken the practices of our aristocratic families, but it was unwilling tolerate it."

It was because of the interests of the currency reform that the families gathered in Luoyang. Therefore, after declaring Li Yuan a few words, Cui Sheng said: "The influence of our aristocratic families is in the north. But the Li family has branches in Yingchuan, Dongyang, Jiangxia and Hanzhong."

Speaking of this, Cui Sheng bowed to the Li family of Zhaojun and said, "If we only resist the implementation of the coin reform in the north, we cannot completely curb their provocative behavior. Therefore, we must join forces with the families of other prefectures and counties to participate. Only in this way can we ensure that everything is foolproof."

The head of the Li family, who was named, stood up and said, "Li is the only one who takes it!"

Seeing that there were other people who were about to stand up and speak, Cui Sheng reached out and made a downward move, "Among you, there are some related to the families south of the river. Cui's suggestion is to first determine which families in the prefectures and counties can be contacted. For the remaining prefectures and counties, we will allocate personnel to contact each prefecture and county, and we must ensure that every prefecture and county has a family to cooperate with our actions."

Everyone nodded and said yes after hearing this.

If he only acted in the north, Li Yuan would inevitably start to make arrangements from the south and then slowly plan to go north. By then, Li Yuan would compete with them with the advantage of half of the country, and they would be the one who was passive.

Seeing that everyone reached an agreement, Zheng Yuande simply put a map of the Tang Dynasty.

After everyone surrounded him, Zheng Yuande simply wrote and recorded the prefectures and counties that could be affected by various families.

After the results were counted, Cui Sheng swept around everyone's faces and saw that everyone was shaking their heads together. He said, "Except for the Li family, other families immediately summoned people to the Bashu area. Each family was responsible for two states. No state or county could be missed."

This is the top priority for the family's life, and no one dares to take it lightly. Not to mention just sending people to incite families in the two prefectures and counties, even if they let them go in person, they will be reluctant to leave.

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Cui Sheng showed a relaxed smile on his face, "As long as we wait to block Manchuan Pass, Qipan Pass, Dasan Pass, Tongguan, Pujin Pass, let Grandma Tang exchange copper coins for the Hu people in the west and the Turks in the north~~~hahahaha..."

"Hahaha... I really want to see what Li Yuan will look like then."

"Hahaha...."

Although Wang Du, who had never made a voice, admired Cui Sheng's arrangement, he was still a little worried, but he could not say it. He believed that except him, no one would question the power gathered more than 80% of the aristocratic families in the world and could not fight against a mere Longxi Li family.

However, he decided to change his form to remind his allies.

"Ahem."

After coughing twice, Wang Du said, "I have received two messages, I believe you have heard of them too. First, the Li family in Longxi has replaced the heir. Second, there are rumors that Ziweilou and Xianjufang are interested in expanding outward."

All the people present were scheming and scheming people. When everyone was excited, Wang Du suddenly mentioned these two things, and should have been very intentional.

After everyone sat down again, Wang Du continued, "According to Wang's observation, Li Shimin is no better than Li Jiancheng. If Li Jiancheng is said to be a humble gentleman, Li Shimin is brave and decisive.

You all know Li Yuan a little bit, Li Jiancheng is also like his father, but Li Shimin has always been in the army. The strategies you discussed are naturally fine for Li Jiancheng and his son, because they are afraid they will be useless to Li Shimin."

After a moment of silence, an old man said, "So what if you change the crown prince? I'm afraid he's just going to win over the ministers in the court now. As long as we act quickly and achieve success in the general situation, what's the use of him being brave and courageous?"

"The people are unwilling to exchange it, but he, Li, dares to force him?"

Afterwards, several people spoke out against Wang Du's judgment.

Seeing Cui Sheng and others sitting on the wall watching, Wang Du had to say, "First of all, there is no need for Li Jiancheng to rebel. In a few years, that position will be his; secondly, with his courage, can he really do a rebellion?

So, Wang's judgment was that all this was planned by Li Shimin. Since..."

Cui Sheng and others still did not say anything, but some people from the second-level family started to talk softly.

"Since Li Shimin can plan his brother, why can't he force Li Yuan to abdicate?"

As soon as this conclusion came out, even Cui Sheng, Cui Zheng, Zheng Yuande and others changed color.

If they really follow Wang Du's guess, the opponents they face will not be the cowardly Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng, but the vicious Li Shimin. Once Li Shimin takes that position, their planning just now may lead to the force of suppression of Li Shimin. By then...

The families living in the northern part of the country still remember Li Shimin's order to massacre hundreds of thousands of Hebei people. If Li Shimin was angry and embarrassed, he would raise a butcher knife to the family...

Although this possibility is not great, no one dares to gamble. In this sky, the most unabashed thing for hundreds of years is butchers. If they were in that position, if someone dared to secretly unite against the imperial power, they would have done so.

Just as everyone's heart sank, Wang Du said again: "Even if Li Shimin did not force Li Yuan to abdicate, according to the news from Chang'an, the main officials in charge of the Imperial Bank are Li Shimin's confidants."

Wang Du's meaning is very clear: no matter whether Li Shimin takes the position immediately, he is in charge of the Imperial Bank and the exchange of copper coins.

After a moment of silence, Cui Sheng asked: "In the judgment of Zhizhang, how long will Li Shimin expand that bank outward?"

Because families frequently interact with each other, each head of the family should try to be as peers as possible with other families. Otherwise, when fighting for benefits, the later head of the family can't make a red face and the head of the other family of the older generation and make a thick neck.

But the Wang family in Taiyuan was so unlucky. Within ten years, the death of two heads of the family passed away, which led to Wang Du being shorter than two generations in front of Cui Sheng.

"Wheng Cui, I thought that there was Li Fuwei, a farmer in Chang'an City, as a guide, and the exchange of copper coins was very smooth. Li Shimin had enough confidence to expand outward in a short period of time."

Cui Sheng continued to ask, "Where will he expand in the judgment of Master Zhi?

"I think it's nothing more than Yizhou in Bashu and Xiangyang in Jingchu."

Cui Sheng stared at Wang Du for a while, then turned to everyone and said, "I believe in the judgment of the Wang family leader: Bashu is the weakest part of our strength.

At the same time, the head of the Wang family mentioned the news about the replacement of the crown prince of the Longxi Li family, but we must be careful. My suggestion is that you should stay in Luoyang for the time being and wait for further news from Chang'an."
