Chapter 228 The Family's Way of Survival

Zheng Yuanshou knew what the housekeeper meant, and Zheng Yuanshou said: "According to the informant's report, Zhao Han has already mastered new printing techniques and new paper making methods. Based on this, the family will perish sooner or later. Zhao Han not only has these two things Things, Zhao Han still has a lot of things that threaten the aristocratic family. If something like this happened in the past, it would cause chaos in the world. Just introduce a new emperor, but Zhao Han holds the explosive package, and the world will not be in chaos unless we can also Get the formula for the explosive pack, but what if we get it? Can you be sure that Zhao Han has nothing else? I believe that Zhao Han will win, so I bet on Zhao Han winning this time, once you gather everyone in the family Get up, I have to discuss something with the family."

"Yes, the old slave will arrange for someone to gather the clansmen," said the steward.

It wasn't until the afternoon that the housekeeper called all the clansmen together, and the clansmen were all talking about it, wondering if it was because of Zhao Han?Everyone knew that Zhao Han had nothing to do with Zheng Feng's death, and Zheng Shanguo also came over, so his face was a little ugly.

After Zheng Yuanshou saw that everyone had arrived, he put the teacup in his hand on the table and said: "I called everyone here today to discuss something with everyone. I have decided to cooperate with Zhao Han. You also know that His Majesty is already dissatisfied with our aristocratic families. We I have to think for myself, so I decided to cooperate with Zhao Han to protect our family."

Zheng Shanguo originally thought that his elder brother called everyone to discuss how to deal with Zhao Han, but he never thought that his elder brother would cooperate with Zhao Han, Zheng Shanguo stood up from the stool.

Zheng Shanguo said angrily: "I don't agree. He Zhao Han was the murderer of my son. If you don't want to deal with him, it's fine. Brother, you still want to cooperate with him? Could it be that my son died in vain? I firmly oppose this matter." , Brother, you are too cowardly, and the family will be ruined by you."

Zheng Yuanshou explained: "Now it's different from before. Zhao Han has new printing techniques and paper making in his hands, and he also has a lot of books in his hands. You also know that the reason why we call it a family is because we have a lot of books. The books can cultivate scholars, but now Zhao Han also has a large number of books, our advantage is no longer there, and now His Majesty wants to take action against our family, what do you think we should do?"

"Then we can't cooperate with Zhao Han. Who knows if he really cooperates with us. Don't forget that Zhao Han has always had a grudge against the aristocratic family. I don't believe that he is really kind enough to cooperate with us. I firmly disagree with this matter. " Zheng Shanguo said.

"Our current situation is very dangerous, we must make preparations in advance, and I will not fully trust Zhao Han, but this is the best choice right now."

"I still don't believe in Zhao Han. If we cooperate with Zhao Han, our family will be harmed. I don't agree. If you insist on cooperating with Zhao Han, I won't cooperate with Zhao Han." Zheng Shanguo said.

Zheng Yuanshou knew that he couldn't persuade Zheng Shanguo, Zheng Yuanshou nodded and asked everyone: "Okay, I accept your separation, I know you want revenge very much, and I can't stop you, but I still want to persuade you, don't think about marrying Zhao. Han is right, you can't beat him, unless you are sure to kill him with one blow, I've said everything I need to say, what other people think?"

Just after Zheng Yuanshou finished speaking, a few more people stood up and said they wanted to separate. They didn't believe in Zhao Han either. They felt that cooperating with Zhao Han was like seeking skin from a tiger. They wanted to follow Zheng Shanguo. Zheng Yuanshou nodded to express that he agreed to their separation.

After everyone had chosen who to follow, Zheng Yuanshou said: "Walking on two legs is better than walking on one leg. No matter what happens in the future, you must remember that everything should be based on the family. Brother, I hope you will bring those who follow you." It's better for your clansmen to be careful, Zhao Han is too incomprehensible, don't stumble, and let's all go away when he's done."

Zhao Han went back to Cheng's mansion and came to Cheng Yaojin's study room. As soon as he entered the room, he found Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng there. Zhao Han went to the stool and sat down.

Cheng Yaojin asked: "Why did you come here, boy? Do you need me?"

Zhao Han told what he had talked with Zheng Yuanshou, and asked Cheng Yaojin, "Uncle, what do you think? I think Zheng Yuanshou is an old fox. I don't believe he would bleed so much. There must be something else." The purpose, but I can't figure out what purpose he has for the time being, you can analyze it for me."

Cheng Yaojin frowned and thought about it for a while, but he didn't come up with a reason. At this moment, Changsun Wuji said: "Actually, this matter is very simple. Believe it or not, the Zheng family has separated now."

"Split family?" Wei Zheng asked curiously: "How can you be sure that the Zheng family will split? This is a big family. Will such a long-standing family split easily? I don't believe it."

Changsun Wuji said confidently: "Nothing is impossible. This Zheng Yuanshou has always been very low-key. It seems that the Zheng family is the lowest among the five families. If you think so, you are wrong. What I admire most is this Zheng Yuanshou. His vision It's very vicious. He should have known that if he just fights with you, he can only maintain a balance. But now that we join, he knows that this balance has been broken. The reason why he wants to cooperate with you is to find a way out. But he will definitely not believe you, so he wants to separate the family, no matter who wins between you and the family, his Zheng family will be the biggest winner."

After listening to Changsun Wuji's explanation, Zhao Han thought it made sense, but he didn't expect Zheng Yuanshou to have a good vision.

Zhao Han said: "Which cooperation, do I still have to cooperate with him? After listening to your explanation, I feel that I am at a disadvantage by cooperating with him."

"No." Wei Zheng said, "Cooperating with Mr. Zheng is very beneficial to us. The other four families are not fools. As long as the Zheng family is separated, other family heads will definitely think of this reason. It divides their strength, which is very beneficial to us, and the old man thinks this cooperation is feasible."

Zhao Han asked back: "What if they are separated on the surface and unite secretly? Doesn't this mean that a spy has been planted here? This possibility is very high."

"No." Changsun Wuji said: "They are like Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period. Zhuge Liang's elder brother is in Zhuge Jin Wu, his younger brother Zhuge Dan is in Wei, and he is in Shu. No matter which side wins, their family can win. If it continues, if they unite secretly, this will completely destroy our own family. At that time, not only we, but also the family will not let him go. This is the way of life of the family. Originally, I thought the Cui family would be the first, but I didn’t expect The Zheng family was the first, which surprised me a bit."
