Chapter 830
Li Xun took a sip of hot tea and said, "Li Zheng? I heard that he has a very weird temper."

Wang Qiaoer covered her mouth and smiled, "Like when my uncle wanted to recruit Li Zheng when he was in Chang'an, my uncle also wanted to betroth me to Li Zheng and win him over."

Li Xun sipped his tea and said, "I haven't met Li Zheng, but I've heard a lot about him. Although you are pretty, sister, I don't think Li Zheng is someone who will be swayed by beauty."

Wang Qiaoer sighed, "Sister, I'm almost twenty now, I'm afraid I won't be able to get married in this life."

Li Xun said: "You have loved reading since you were a child, and your talents are even inferior to those old men who have been studying all their lives. If you just marry like this, where will you use your talents? Men just want to treat us as ours." Just a plaything in their hands."

Wang Qiaoer sighed and said, "Men are all the same."

Li Xun and Wang Qiaoer sat under the tree talking, and there were a few men watching from a distance. These two women can be said to be rare beauties, but no one dared to approach these two women. They were among the five surnames. The status is too noble.

Li Xun is the jewel in the palm of the Li family in Zhaojun. She has not been married so far. She is a very smart woman. If she is a man, she must be the next person in charge of the Li family in Zhaojun.

Like Wang Qiaoer, she is also the jewel in the palm of the Wang family in Taiyuan. She has not been married so far, and she loves reading on weekdays.

Everyone can only take a look from a distance, but they dare not look too much.

Wang Qiaoer looked at the tea in the tea bowl and said, "Tell me why my sister sold so much of her family property and left Zhao County."

Li Xun looked sad, "Li Shimin and Li Zheng want the family to perish. Apart from wanting to get out before something happens, they also want to take this opportunity to escape the control of the clan."

Wang Qiaoer said, "Have you figured out where to go?"

Wang Qiaoer didn't ask too much about Li Xun's actions. She didn't give too much explanation for what she did. Generally speaking, what Li Xun decided to do was often right when it finally came to fruition.

If Li Xun felt that the family was going to die, then it was very likely that the family was going to die.

Li Xun was quiet for a while and said, "Go to Chang'an to have a look."

Wang Qiaoer said: "My younger sister also wants to go, my older sister will wait a little while, and my younger sister will go to Chang'an with my older sister after going home to tell her."

Li Xun nodded quietly.

One day later, Wang Qiaoer followed Li Xun and left Taiyuan.

Wang Qiaoer's younger brother Wang Sheng watched his sister leave, and soon someone came to him, "Young master, the patriarch wants to see you."

Wang Sheng put away his emotions and followed the man back home.

The current head of the Wang family is the father of Wang Sheng and Wang Qiaoer. Wang Yu sat in the study and picked up and put down the book in his hand, with a dignified expression.

Seeing his youngest son Wang Sheng coming, Wang Yu said, "Is what you wrote in this booklet true?"

Wang Sheng nodded and said, "Father, now Li Zheng is printing thousands of books a day."

Wang Yu asked again: "Let me ask you, is it true that the Guanlongmen faction and Jiangnan merchants all left the family together?"

Wang Sheng nodded.

Wang Yu took a sip of tea, with an expression of panic that couldn't be concealed.

Looking at his father's expression, Wang Sheng's eyes were very indifferent.

Wang Yu took two steps back and forth, "Then we should..."

Wang Sheng said: "The family members of the clan should be convened to discuss, clear up the current family property, take precautions, and discuss countermeasures with all the families."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes." Wang Yu nodded repeatedly and shouted to the door: "Come on!"

A few servants came to the study, and Wang Yu said: "Immediately call all the relatives of the Wang family in Taiyuan to the ancestral temple. The old man and Wang Sheng will go there first, let them hurry up."

"Here!"

Several servants left after receiving the words.

Wang Yu glanced at Wang Sheng again and said, "What are you waiting for? Pack your things and go to the ancestral temple first."

Wang Sheng nodded and ordered his servants to pack up a pile of books.

Three hours later, in the ancestral temple of the Wang family, Wang Sheng looked at the elders of the clan who were flipping through the scrolls. There was an outsider here. Originally, the ancestral temple did not allow outsiders to enter. The young man in front of him was Xingyang Zheng Zheng. The eldest son of the clan.

It stands to reason that Zheng Po will be the next head of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and as the heir of the Wang family, he will not neglect him.

"According to what is said in this scroll, is the situation really so serious?"

Everyone took a skeptical attitude and whispered to each other.

Wang Sheng's gaze was still looking at Zheng Po who was standing aside, this guy was drinking tea leisurely, looking at ease.

Wang Yu said, "Sheng'er, tell me what's going on."

Wang Sheng picked up his scroll and said, "Now the people from the Guanlong Clan are withdrawing, the merchants from Jiangnan are also starting to pack up their business and prepare to leave, and most of the powerful families have already left."

"Wait a minute." Wang Po interrupted: "This young master must not have come of age yet to perform the coronation ceremony."

It is very polite to let an outsider in in the ancestral temple, but now Zheng Pou interrupted and Wang Sheng didn't want to talk to him.

"Now that the Lu family of Fanyang has encountered Duan Lun's inspection, it is already difficult to separate. Li Xun, the eldest daughter of the Li family in Zhao County, sold her property and left Zhao County. The Cui family of Boling was arrested in Chang'an. Many children, Cui Fu and The Cui family is split."

"In the beginning, several of our families teamed up to target Li Zheng, but nothing came of it. It must be that each family had their own agendas, and that's why the five surnames and seven Wangs couldn't fight against Li Zheng together."

Hearing what Wang Sheng said, Zheng pouted and then remained silent.

The words paused, and Wang Sheng continued: "The Guanlongmen Clan, powerful families, and Jiangnan merchants have begun to keep their distance from us. Fifty percent of the people who have left since last month have already left so far. Eighty percent of the people."

While listening to Zheng Pou flipping through the scroll in front of him, he looked at it reluctantly and then put it down.

"However, the reputation of our aristocratic family has continued to decline, and Li Zheng has spared no effort to discredit us. I think that sooner or later, the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs will lose more popular support."

After finishing speaking in one breath, Wang Sheng waited for everyone's reaction.

Zheng Po broke the silence with a disdainful smile. Seeing the eyes of the crowd, he straightened his clothes and said, "According to Mr. Wang, what should we do?"

Wang Sheng said: "We should protect ourselves first, and send the elders of the clan to Chang'an to clarify our royal family's attitude, and to make more sincerity or concessions to His Majesty today."

Hearing the words of concession, the smile on Zheng Po's face grew stronger, "Concession to Li Shimin? Mr. Wang's words are wonderful, but his thinking is very far-fetched."

Zheng pouted, and several senior members of the royal family also smiled.
