Chapter 687 What to do with Li Zhengdou
Wang Sheng rushed for five days and was getting closer and closer to Chang'an. People from the Junguan family could no longer care about him.
Sitting on the side of the road, Wang Sheng drank a sip of water and looked at his own hands, and half of them were lost.
It can be seen that the other party’s determination to block his entry into Chang'an.
After resting for a while, Wang Sheng was about to continue rushing to the road. A team of people came and stopped in front of him.
Seeing that the person coming was from his Wang family, Wang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
The visitor said to Wang Sheng: "Young Master, the head of the family is seriously ill, please ask your son to go back."
This news made Wang Sheng's mind explode, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while, "My father is sick?"
The visitor nodded.
"But my father has always been in good health, how could he suddenly get sick?"
The person who comes is his own cousin and should be trusted.
Wang Sheng said again: "Is my father's condition very serious?"
"I can no longer get up and go to the ground. The doctor said that there may be no more time. If the head of the family passed away and the young master went to Chang'an to complete the head of the family's instructions, what's the use?"
Yes, if my father passed away, I am afraid that all efforts will be in vain.
Just as I was about to go back, I saw the other person arresting all his people.
Seeing that his subordinates were all taken to the ground, Wang Sheng looked at his cousin in surprise, "What are you doing?"
The other party pulled the reins and said, "Young Master, go back with us."
"Are you lying to me?" Wang Sheng took a step back vigilantly.
The visitor looked at the direction of Chang'an, and not far away, the Guard was whispering: "Young Master can't reach Chang'an, nor can you pass the Guard. Do you understand what I mean?"
After saying that, the people who came around took Wang Sheng to the ground.
"What do you mean?"
The visitor continued, "Young Master, follow us back, you can't get to Chang'an."
"Let me go!"
Wang Sheng shouted, a cloth bag came towards him, and he lost consciousness when the back of his head hurt.
When he woke up again, Wang Sheng found himself in a bamboo room.
The sun shines in through the gap, like the sunset, and dust can be seen floating in the wisps of the sunshine.
I found myself not tied up and took a look at the door.
So he stood up and knocked open the door hard, and found that the door was not locked either.
Because he used all his strength to knock the door open, Wang Sheng knocked it open and fell heavily to the ground.
I looked up and saw that the servants around me were looking at me.
He stood up in panic, Wang Sheng looked around again and confirmed the surrounding environment. Isn’t this Daishan Loft?
"Why am I here?" Wang Sheng kept looking around, his eyes filled with panic.
After searching with his eyes, Wang Sheng discovered his father Wang Yu.
"Father." Wang Yu looked at his father, "That's it..."
Taking his son aside, Wang Yu said with a lonely expression: "Children are not good for fathers, and some things are not decided by our Wang family."
Wang Sheng looked at his father with some disbelief, "Are they?"
Wang Yu nodded, "Because a large number of scholars left, the aristocratic families wanted to retain the scholars. Scholars were the century-old foundation of the aristocratic families. They changed their decisions and decided to talk to Li Zheng."
Wang Sheng took two steps back in a daze.
Wang Yu said: "Some things can't be done just by wanting to do, and they are involuntarily. You can't change everyone, so don't trust everyone easily."
Wang Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "Why do you have to worry?"
A maid from the attic walked in small steps and said, "The head of the Wang family, the young master of the Wang family, everyone has arrived."
Wang Sheng followed to the attic, and had even thought about what kind of scene inside and what kind of eyes the crowd was like.
All efforts were in vain, and the aristocratic family had really reached the point where they were hopeless.
Walking into the dark attic, Wang Sheng saw familiar faces and Zheng Ju's conceited face.
Zheng Ju saw Wang Sheng who was a little embarrassed, "Where did the prince go and fall all over the body?"
Wang Sheng ignored Zheng Ju, walked up to the people and looked at the elders of the five surnames, and asked, "Why have you changed your mind again?"
An old man from Cui's family in Boling trimmed his nails and said, "The boy from the Wang family is so rude."
It is inappropriate to question the elders in this way among the five surnames, and everyone scolded Wang Sheng.
Listening to everyone's scolding, Wang Sheng felt disgusted by this hopeless rule and this decadent and conservative feeling.
Zheng Ju said, "Elders, Wang Sheng is still young, I hope you don't take it for granted."
The old man from the Cui family snorted coldly, "The aristocratic family is based on the foundation of the scholars. If the imperial examination is held, the scholars will leave one after another. For our aristocratic family, it means that the imperial examination is not allowed to be held."
Zheng Ju said: "I have prepared the conversation with Li Zheng and decided to go to Chang'an to see Li Zheng as soon as August."
Several elders nodded.
"But the boy from the Wang family said it is not unreasonable. Li Zheng is a very cunning person, so he should be prepared for what he should be prepared for."
Zheng Ju bowed and said, "I will remember what the elders said."
Several elders nodded one after another, "As long as this is the case, I will leave it to you Zheng Ju to do it. We old guys are waiting for your news."
Zheng Ju bowed again and walked out of the attic.
Wang Sheng also followed Zheng Ju out of the attic.
After walking for a while, Zheng Ju found that Wang Sheng was still following him, and stopped and looked back.
Wang Sheng looked directly at Zheng Ju.
The two of them were ten steps apart, and Zheng Ju said, "Do you think I did all this?"
Wang Sheng didn't say anything, and still looked at Zheng Ju.
Zheng Ju said again: "Actually, I do everything, it's all the decisions of those old guys. Wang Sheng, you are really smart. You can detect the crisis in advance, but what afterwards? Your approach seems too young."
Seeing that Wang Sheng still didn't say anything, Zheng Ju sighed, "Did you see those pedantic elders? Who will the five surnames be destroyed in the hands of?"
Zheng Ju pointed to the attic and said, "It will be destroyed in their hands. From Hanwu to the Later Jin Dynasty, it has been hundreds or thousands of years. The roots of the five surnames tree have been decayed. It doesn't even take Li Shimin to do it. I always feel that it takes less than a hundred years. Just a little push, the big tree of the five surnames will fall. Li Zheng and Li Shimin are just trying to speed up this process. I, like you, want to save the aristocratic family, and want to save the aristocratic family, but the roots of the five surnames are already in disarray."
"Intermarriage with each other, the children are reduced, and the elders are in power. The younger generation can only obey. From the land to the way of thinking about things, they must follow the requirements of their elders. Such a family is not a family, it is a cage. Think about it clearly! The five surnames are no longer worth your efforts. The roots here are already rotten. The output of books will only increase in Li Zheng's hands. What kind of books does Li Shimin want? Li Zheng can print thousands and tens of thousands of copies in a very short time!"
