There were many great clans, but five of them were the most powerful. They were the Li clan of Zhao County in Longxi, the Cui clan of Boling, the Cui clan of Qinghe, the Lu clan of Fanyang, the Zheng clan of Xingyang, and the Wang clan of Taiyuan!
However, the Li Clan and the Cui Clan both had two wishes, so they were called the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs!
These great clans were all extremely powerful. It could be said that their figures could be seen in the entire imperial court, even in every dynasty. They were even present during the change of dynasties!
For example. Li Yuan and Li Shimin belonged to the Li Clan of Longxi!。
Just think about it, Li Shiming, as a scion of a great clan, successfully rebelled and established the Great Tang. From this, you can see just how awesome the great clans are!
Since ancient times, the great clans had controlled many, many resources, such as land, education, and so on! They relied on these resources to educate their children, nurture talents, and then send them to the imperial court. After becoming high officials, they would obtain resources. This cycle repeated itself, and in the end, they would naturally become stronger and stronger!
However, today, all the great clans had gathered their important figures for a regular meeting!
News of the Glazed Confucius Statue had spread throughout the world. Everyone knew that it was a real divine item!
Moreover, Confucius was like a master to all the students in the hall. They were all learning the Analects of Confucius!
Half of the Analects of Confucius ruled the world. This was not something casually said!
Therefore, if a Glazed Confucius statue could be brought back to one's clan, it could make one's clan the strongest clan in the Great Tang!
It was especially important for the future inheritance!
As long as there was a glazed statue of Confucius. The status of the students in the family could be raised, and more talented people could be attracted to join them. These effects could completely support an aristocratic family!
It could be said that even an ordinary small family could become the most powerful aristocratic family after ten or twenty years of management after obtaining the Glazed Confucius statue!
This was the effect of the Glazed Confucius Statue!
Everyone was eyeing it covetously and drooling!
Now, Zhangsun Wuji had also spread the news that he was preparing to auction off this Glazed Confucius statue. This was the first time they had seen such an auction!
Everyone gathered in one place and shouted out their bids continuously. The highest bidder would win!
After knowing this method, the great clans could not help but secretly curse Zhangsun Wuji for being insatiable! Everyone knew that Zhangsun Wuji's idea was to force the aristocratic families to pay a higher price to buy the Glazed Confucius Statue!
However, this was the legendary overt plot! They knew that Zhangsun Wuji was trying to scam the great clans of their money, but there was nothing they could do. They could only be tricked!
Of course, they could also negotiate a price and not compete with each other. Then, they could spend less money to bring the Glazed Confucius Statue home!
But how was that possible? For the great clans, they would never share a Glazed Confucius statue!
And this time, Zhangsun Wuji had invited all the wealthy people in the Great Tang! It could be said that if their price was too low, the Glazed Confucius Statue would be auctioned off!，He could only offer a high price with tears in his eyes!
The meeting of the great clans was actually very simple. It was not to discuss whether or not to have this Glazed Confucius statue!
Of course! There was no doubt about it!
They were only discussing how much money the great clans could afford to participate in the auction!
…………
Zhangsun Wuji stayed in his mansion and naturally received the news from the outside. After hearing that the great clans were gathering money, he could not help but smile!
The Second Prince was indeed smart. After this wave of publicity, the aristocratic families would probably gather all the money they could take out to participate in the auction!
However, Zhangsun Wuji could only sigh helplessly when he thought about the seven days. If he had extended the time by half a month, the great clans would have been able to gather even more money!
Because Datong was too far away, the great clans had spread out across the Great Tang. If they gathered together to consolidate their resources, it would take at least half a month!
Therefore, Zhangsun Wuji couldn't help but run to the palace to ask Li Shiming.
"Your Majesty, why didn't you persuade the Second Prince not to rebel? If he hadn't rebelled, this glass would have been enough for the Great Tang to earn several years of revenue!”Zhangsun Wuji looked at Li Shiming with a helpless and regretful expression.
How could Li Shiming not know what Sun Wuji was thinking? However, Li Shiming was also very helpless. He also felt sorry for the money.
"It's not that I'm really unwilling! It was Feng 'er who wanted to rebel! I don't understand either. What can I do?”
Li Shiming was clearly very unhappy. He didn't feel comfortable with so much money being used to rebel with Li Chufeng. If he used it on the Great Tang, he would be able to wipe out the Turks in a few years!
However, he really had no other choice. If he could persuade her successfully, he would have done so long ago!
"Your Majesty, why don't you just expose your identity and let the Second Prince know his true identity? That way, he won't rebel! And he would wholeheartedly serve the Great Tang, relying on the Second Prince's intelligence! It could be said that in less than two years, the Great Tang would be completely transformed!”
Zhangsun Wuji held Li Chufeng in high regard. At this moment, he was also trying to persuade Li Shiming to reveal his identity.
"This is impossible!" When Li Shi Min heard Zhangsun Wuji's words, his face darkened. He shook his head and rejected him!
How many times had Li Chufeng pointed at his nose and scolded him? If he exposed his identity now, wouldn't he be laughed at to death by his son?
Even if he wanted to expose his identity, he would have to wait until Li Chufeng's rebellion failed! This way, he would not lose face!
"Just prepare for the auction! You can scam as much money as you can. Don't worry about the rest!”
Li Shiming waved his hand at Zhangsun Wuji. He was too lazy to talk nonsense with Zhangsun Wuji. After all, Zhangsun Wuji did not join the rebel army. He appeared in his real identity. He was only needed for this auction. He would not be needed in the future!
"Yes, sir!" Although Zhangsun Wuji was a little unwilling and helpless, he had no choice but to accept Li Shiming's words!
