People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 837 Fall short?
In the attic at the foot of Mount Dai, it is very quiet here, and more than a dozen ledgers of the five surnames are watching the argument between the two young people.

Zheng Po walked up to Wang Sheng step by step, and said in a cold voice, "Say! Why do you want to help Li Shimin hold the imperial examination so much?"

Wang Sheng didn't lower his head either, and turned his eyes to Zheng Pou, "What's the intention of saying that I am, so what's the intention of Brother Zheng? Li Zheng is a very powerful man, and the battle of Tuyuhun was won within three years under Li Zheng's lobbying. , Tuyuhun died! East Turkic and Li Zheng negotiated several times, and finally the entire north of Yinshan Mountain became a horse farm for the Tang Dynasty. So far, Ashina, the blood of the Eastern Turkic royal court, has been exiled outside! Tang Xuanzang, a disciple of Buddhism, has negotiated with Li Zheng , In the end! Li Shimin is about to eradicate Buddhism, brother Zheng wants to do business with Li Zheng? Li Zhengtan?"

Pointing in the direction of Chang'an, Wang Sheng said loudly, "He, Li Zheng, cannibalize people without spit out bones!"

The voice fell, and there were more and more discussions in the attic.

"Enough!" I don't know which elder shouted, and quickly fell silent again.

The elders of the Lu family looked around and said, "Let's rest first."

A few elderly elders left, and the clansmen of the five surnames and various ethnic groups also retreated.

Zheng Po walked out of the attic, walked all the way to the mountain spring, and washed his face with cool spring water, which refreshed him a lot.

A son of the Zheng family came to Zheng Pou and said: "I just heard what Brother Shi said, it's really inspiring."

Zheng Pou took a look at the person who came, it was his own, then patted his face with cold water and said, "How is Second Uncle recently?"

"Very good, I have been under the care of a doctor recently."

Zheng Po breathed the fresh air of Mount Dai, looking at the mountains from here, he felt very comfortable.

The visitor glanced around and whispered, "Brother Shi just said that he wanted to talk to Li Zheng. Is this really appropriate?"

Zheng Po wiped off the water on his face and said: "Li Zheng is indeed a man of great means, but it is a pity that he was not recruited into the five surnames at the beginning. You can't win him over with some people, and he is likely to be a very difficult enemy. .”

"According to Brother Shi, Li is a very dangerous person?"

Zheng Po smiled helplessly and said, "Li Zheng is really not a good person, but look at the older generation in the family, they are all in their seventies and eighties and still hold the power in the clan, can their brains still think clearly? Old man I don’t want to make any changes at all.”

Speaking of this, Zheng Po's smile is self-deprecating: "Do you think these old men can accomplish anything?"

There are many people busy at the foot of Mount Dai. It is always the busiest during the summer season. This is a courtyard shared by a family.

Zheng Pout found a cool place to take a nap.

It was already evening when he was woken up.

"Mr. Zheng, the elders ask you to go over and discuss it."

Zheng Po stood up from the grass, straightened his clothes, and went to the attic.

The people in the attic were still the same people in the morning. Under the eyes of everyone, Zheng Ju walked up to them and saluted, "The younger generation has met the elders."

The elders with the highest five surnames sitting at the top were also observing the expressions of Zheng Po and Wang Sheng.

"Let's discuss it with the old guys, and try Wang Sheng's method first."

After the voice fell, there was another discussion.

Wang Sheng looked excited.

"Boy of the Wang family, you can make preparations for this matter first. We are all waiting for the result."

"If you need help, feel free to ask our family. It is related to the important affairs of our five surnames, and your Taiyuan Wang family cannot be bothered." An old man from the Li family in Zhao County said.

Wang Sheng nodded vigorously, "The younger generation will live up to the entrustment of the elders."

"Let's go, we guys are tired too."

Zheng Po was laughing unexpectedly, which surprised Wang Sheng, but he didn't care about so much, he walked out of the attic, called a horse, and left Daishan in a hurry.

Looking at the back of Wang Sheng leaving, Zheng Po shook his head and sighed, "Young people are always full of enthusiasm, they don't know how complicated the world is, they need enthusiasm to do things, but they can't rely entirely on enthusiasm, those old men In the end, I will definitely choose Li Zheng."

Zheng pouted to himself.

The news released by the aristocratic family immediately spread throughout Shandong.

In June of this year's summer, Cui Fu, who was in Youzhou, received news from Wu Xing.

Old man Xu and Lu Xinzuo sat in front of Cui Fu.

Before the food was served, the old man Xu said anxiously: "Brother Cui, people outside say that the Taiyuan Wang family is going to talk to His Majesty today, and that they want to help His Majesty organize the imperial examination."

Lu Xinzuo looked at Cui Fu and asked, "What does the five surnames mean by making this decision?"

Cui Fu poured wine into his mouth and said: "If the five surnames can help Li Shimin set up the imperial examination, maybe the foundation of the five surnames can be preserved. In other words, the five surnames have completely surrendered to Li Shimin. In this way, the territory of the five surnames will be preserved. , All the preparations we have made now have been in vain.”

Hearing this, the old man Xu said anxiously: "Old man, I transferred hundreds of thousands of money from Jiangnan, and the land is already promising. Now you tell the old man that everything you did before was in vain?"

Lu Zuoxin also said: "I have already sold all the land in my family. When things come to an end, what you say to me is all for nothing? You know how many people abused me when I sold my property."

Taking another sip of wine, Cui Fu slammed the wine bowl on the table, "I don't want all the preparations to be in vain."

Old man Xu saw that Lu Xin was anxious, and he was also anxious in his heart.

Cui Fu let out a long breath and stared at the wine bowl in front of him and said: "No, I will not be wrong, I know the thoughts of those old guys in the family too well, they can't lie to me, these people will never Surrender to Li Shimin!"

"But now everyone is saying that the five surnames will help Li Shimin hold the imperial examination."

"I said it! They can't lie to me! I can't be wrong." Cui Fu said loudly.

Lu Zuoxin shook his head and sighed, patting Cui Fu on the shoulder.

Old man Xu looked anxiously at the pedestrians outside the window.

In Taiyuan, Wang Sheng is making arrangements in the family to go to Chang'an to meet Li Shimin next.

Just as he was preparing his manpower, Wang Sheng saw his father Wang Yu's expression of loneliness.

Seeing his father's expression, Wang Sheng stepped forward and said, "Father, don't worry too much, the child will take care of herself."

Wang Yu said in a low voice: "Langya area, Jiangnan area, and the Zheng family stopped doing business with us."

For a long time, the Taiyuan Wang family has made a living from the pen and ink business, ink from Jiangnan, and brushes from Langya.

In this way, the only source of income for the Wang family is gone. Among the five surnames, the Taiyuan Wang family is not so rich, and there are so many children and scholars in the clan that need to be supported.
