Chapter 335 The mantis acts as a chariot to prevent road construction(1/3)
Boling Cui's Mansion.
Cui Runyu convened a meeting of the heads of the five surnames and seven distinguished clans.
Among them, there is one more person, Cui Zhentang.
"The emperor has obviously reached some agreement with Fang Yuan."
"But Cui Zhentang's promotion is in the interests of our five surnames and Qiwang."
"I thought that no matter what, we couldn't let the emperor's plan succeed."
Cui Runyu was the first to put forward opinions.
Officials of the Bolingcui family are spread all over the world.
However, there have been very few people in history who have become chiefs of the six departments.
Now Cui Zhentang has a rare opportunity, and the Boling Cui family cannot let the opportunity pass by like this.
"Fang Yuan is just a clown, the difficulty lies with the emperor."
"He is probably dissatisfied with our seven-star banknotes being issued all over the world, and now he is starting to fight back."
"But for such an important appointment, although the emperor plays a decisive role, he must also consider the opinions of the ministers. As long as we get the support of the ministers, the matter will still be worry-free."
Wang Xiaolin of the Wang family in Taiyuan said slowly.
The emperor has a decisive role in appointing officials above the fourth rank.
But the selected talents serve the court and the country.
Since you are working for the country, you must convince the ministers of your moral integrity and talent, and you must listen to their opinions.
"Having said that, people like Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji stand closely by Li Shimin's side. It is difficult for us to convince them."
Zheng Zhongxian, the head of the Zheng clan in Xingyang, said in a deep voice.
Nowadays, the five surnames and Qiwang have less and less control over the court, because some ministers stand firmly by Li Shimin's side.
If Pei Ji had not become an official, he would have stood by the aristocratic family and would have been willing to cooperate with their Five Surnames and Seven Hopes.
"Don't worry, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji are on the emperor's side."
"But if Fang Yuan is chosen as the Minister of Household Affairs, they will definitely oppose it."
Li Deyou, the leader of the Li clan in Longxi, said with a confident smile.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Li Deyou.
As Li Shimin came to power, the relationship between the Longxi Li family and the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes began to become complicated.
They are still related by interests and have many marriage relationships, but in the emperor's policy, it is obvious that many benefits favor the Li family in Longxi.
Everyone also thought that this was the emperor's plan to alienate each other, but they were still a little unhappy with the Longxi Li family. They felt that the Longxi Li family would become the first of the five surnames and seven hopes.
"They have gone through all kinds of hardships to get to where they are now."
"It is an insult to them to let a young man who is not yet thirty years old be on an equal footing with them."
Li Deyou smiled.
Everyone listened and nodded in agreement.
"Doesn't the emperor have some agreement with Fang Yuan now?"
"I guess it has something to do with road construction and community building. We just need to stop them."
Lu Deshui, the patriarch of the Fanyang Lu family, said with a gloomy smile.
You can get some news by looking at the cooperation between Fang Yuan and Dugu Bo.
That means the situation is very urgent and we need to start building roads as soon as possible.
If this is the case, then if they stop the road construction, Fang Yuan and Li Shimin's plan will be defeated without attack.
At the same time, it can also warn other aristocratic families not to think about going against the Five Surnames and Qiwang, as the consequences will be dire.
"Fang Yuan has a fire gun, but we haven't found a weapon that can compete with the fire gun yet."
Cui Runyu shook his head and said in a deep voice.
The appearance of the fire gun was the beginning of their fear of Fang Yuan.
In the past, they didn't take Fang Yuan seriously, even though they behaved politely sometimes.
But after the fire gun really appeared and showed its power, everyone knew that Fang Yuan had become a giant crocodile.
"There is a long road from Luoyang City to Chang'an City. They don't build the road in a day or two."
"It is impossible for Fang Yuan to send so many people to watch such a long road. We can completely destroy other places."
"During the destruction, it is possible to attract Fang Yuan's firecrackers to attack, but if there are not many people, we can try to grab Fang Yuan's firecrackers and come back to study!"
Lu Deshui smiled sinisterly.
Their five surnames and seven hopes are often controlled by fire guns.
I have always wanted to find out how to make and crack firecrackers.
But all to no avail!
Since Fang Yuan has given you such an opportunity, don’t miss it.
After the words fell, Cui Runyu and others' eyes lit up, thinking it was feasible.
As long as the fire gun leaves Chang'an City, even if you use the human wave tactic, you can still grab it!
"I will mobilize the clan soldiers to cooperate in this matter!"
Cui Runyu said in a deep voice.
Since the appearance of the fire gun, he has made demands on the clan soldiers.
Facing the fire cannon fire, as long as there is no order to stop from the clan leader, even if you are dead, you will rush forward.
"Let's send out the clan troops together, and feel at ease."
Li Deyou interjected.
Everyone looked at him without any objection.
This is also good, everyone knows whether they have got the gun or not.
On that day, each of the five surnames and Qiwang sent out a hundred soldiers, forming a group of 700 people and sneaking out of the city.
The leader of the team this time is Cui Xuansu of the Boling Cui family.
By the time Cui Xuansu and others arrived at Luoyang City, Dugubo had already started building roads.
However, it is just an expansion of the roads on both sides of the official road, and the road construction with cement has not actually started.
But this did not affect the plan of Cui Xuansu and others. As soon as he arrived in Luoyang City, he led his men to beat up the road expansion workers.
And warned that road construction is not allowed.
After hearing the news, Dugu Bo jumped up with anger.
"Do you know whose person it is?"
The first thing Dugu Bo thought of was his second brother.
"I seem to have seen the leader, he is Cui Xuansu of the Boling Cui clan."
The person who reported it said uncertainly.
"Cui Xuansu?"
Dugubo was shocked.
Cui Xuansu is a great master of the Boling Cui family.
The Bolingcui family actually sent such people to stop the road construction, and brought more than 700 people with them?!
"Chief, what should we do?"
The second uncle looked ugly and said in a deep voice.
If the road construction is blocked, the reputation of their Dugu family will also be affected.
Now all the famous families in the world are laughing at Dugu Bo for killing his own father and becoming the leader, preparing to embarrass the Dugu family.
Build roads, build communities, and join forces with Fang Yuan to help the Dugu family get rid of being ridiculed and become stronger.
"Don't panic!"
"We can just tell Mr. Fang what happened."
Dugu Bo slowly calmed down and chuckled.

Fang Yuan has promised to many aristocratic families that he will provide military assistance.
Now that someone is coming to stop the road construction, Fang Yuan is the one who should solve this problem.
