Chapter 261 Divide and transform

Prince's residence.

Sun Qiang walked quickly to Su Chen and said, "Sir, there is news from the Dali Temple that the Lu family has taken action."

Su Chen put down the random talk in his hand and said with a smile: "It will be interesting to take action at this time."

Sun Qiang: "Sir, what do you think of this?"

Su Chen: "According to the time, King Qi and his men should have arrived at Fanyang."

Sun Qiang nodded, "Even if the King of Qi and his men were walking slowly, they would have almost reached Fanyang by now. If they were walking faster, they would have been counting the children of the Lu family by now."

Su Chen: "However, at this time, the people of the Lu family suddenly attacked Lu Chengsi, which is enough to prove that the Lu family has already thought of a countermeasure."

Sun Qiang understood and said, "Are they planning a rebellion?"

Su Chen: "A desperate dog will jump over the wall. What's more, they are a long-standing aristocratic family. Now that so many people are watching them, if they have any dignity, they will be tougher."

"of course."

"Between life and face, they can only choose one!"

"If you want to die, then hand over all the members of the clan who made mistakes in exchange for the stability of the entire Lu clan."

"If we want to save our dignity, many people will die!"

"Is there any news from Cao Yuan?"

Sun Qiang shook his head. "Not yet. If it is really as you expected, they will send us the news soon."

At this time.

A servant came in, "Sir, Lord Yu wants to see you."

"Please."

Su Chen stood up to greet him.

"Master Su."

"Master Yu, you are here at this time, but is there any news from Henan Road?"

"Mr. Su is very smart."

Yu Zhining sighed, and at Su Chen's invitation, he sat down and said, "There's news from Henan Road that the Lu family has secretly contacted the Kong family."

"Baosheng Hou secretly contacted some noble families, and it seems that they are not going to hand over the children who have made mistakes."

Su Chen grinned and said, "Is Confucius from Qufu going to be tough for once?"

Yu Zhining shook his head. "It doesn't matter whether he is tough or not. What matters is that the Lu family has contacted many aristocratic families one after another."

Although there is no clear evidence to prove that the Lu family is about to rise up in rebellion, their actions at this time are enough to explain many problems.

Yu Zhining dropped another bombshell, "News came from Songzhou that Governor Han secretly arrested four thieves who intended to steal the city defense map."

hiss!
Sun Qiang gasped, "Lu is so brave!"

The city defense map is where Songzhou's military strength lies in resisting the 50,000-strong Tubo army. Once it is stolen, the consequences will be disastrous.

Su Chen and the other two looked at him, and Su Chen smiled and asked, "How did Songzhou handle it?"

Yu Zhining: "After arresting these four people, we immediately blocked the news and arranged for people to deliver the news non-stop."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is extremely angry and has summoned the three prime ministers and the six ministers of state to the palace to discuss the matter."

Su Chen sighed, "He should have given them the city defense map."

Yu Zhining raised his eyebrows and said with a strange look on his face: "Master Su, do you mean to make a fake one?"

Su Chen nodded.

Yu Zhining sighed, "Perhaps they didn't expect that the Lu family would be so bold and they were not prepared."

If they had noticed it in advance and arranged for a fake city defense map to be stolen, it would not have been so easy to deal with the 50,000-strong Tibetan army.

Su Chen: "Now it seems that the Lu family is very likely to be desperate, so don't hesitate to take action!"

Yu Zhining nodded, "After the prince told me these things, I wanted to ask if Master Su had any other arrangements."

Su Chen pondered.

Cao Yuan and his men went to Fan Yang. If nothing unexpected happens, the Lu family should not be able to cause much trouble.

In Henan Province, there are many confidants promoted by Li Chengqian, so it is not easy for the Kong family to make trouble.

However, even if they made trouble, the power at Li Chengqian's disposal was enough to suppress them all.

What is important is the reaction of other families.

"Aqiang, go call Xu Qizhuang over."

Su Chen tilted his head and said something, Sun Qiang nodded and left.

Yu Zhining: "What do you want him to do?"

Su Chen said softly: "Now, all the major families are watching the fight between the prince and the Lu family."

"The Lu family is desperate and will definitely mobilize all their connections and manpower to attack the King of Qi."

"If the King of Qi falls into the hands of the Lu family, the Lu family will certainly use this as an opportunity to denounce the Crown Prince and try to portray him as the enemy of all the noble families. Only in this way can they ensure that the other noble families will join forces with them. Only in this way can the Lu family have a glimmer of hope!"

"However, only the people in the court know these things. The people of the world don't know what the Lu family did!"

"I think it would be better to publicize what the Lu family has done through newspapers so that everyone can take a good look at it."

"First, it can divide the relationship between the noble families and prevent them from forming a strong force. Second, it can make countless people understand one thing: no matter how much the Lu family says, it can't change the mistakes they have made."

Yu Zhining nodded repeatedly, "That makes sense."

Constantly differentiating the relationships among aristocratic families, and the relationship between aristocratic families and the common people.

In this way, they will be isolated from the masses.

Without the support of the people, these aristocratic families will not be able to accomplish anything.

soon.

Sun Qiang brought Xu Qizhuang to the two of them.

"Meet Master Yu."

Xu Qizhuang smiled and cupped his hands, "Brother Su, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Su Chen: "You must print all the stories about the Lu family members in the newspaper today and send it out today!"

Xu Qizhuang: "So urgent?"

Su Chen nodded, "Master Yu will give you the details."

Yu Zhining smiled and said, "Okay."

Xu Qizhuang nodded, "Okay, let's go now?" Yu Zhining stood up and said, "The sooner the better, the better. Let's go to the newspaper office now."

"Master Su, take your leave."

"please."

Su Chen cupped his hands and watched Yu Zhining and the others leave. "Aqiang, you should also spread the news."

"it is good!"

……

It was noon that day.

A group of newspaper vendors who cooperated with Tianxia Newspaper were invited by Tianxia Newspaper.

There is only one requirement, pay for the job.

Each person was given one tael of silver and all the printed newspapers were sold out in the shortest possible time.

Even if it cannot be sold, the people of Chang'an City must know what happened in the newspaper.

The newspaper men were very excited about this.

They have always been paid for selling newspapers, but now they are being paid to do things!

They might not even earn one or two taels of silver even if they sell for ten days!

What else is there to consider?
Just do it and that's it.

then.

In the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, newspaper vendors were constantly waving newspapers in their hands and selling them.

"The Lu family's children are not real sons. They rely on their ancestors' influence to bully the people..."

"Lu's big revelation, don't miss it if you pass by!"

"The Lu family is planning a rebellion..."

……

Prince Wei's Mansion.

Li Tai was happily teasing the canary, but he could hear bursts of hawking sounds in his ears, which made him irritated.

Listening carefully, Li Tai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Lu's rebellion? !
Where did Tianxia Newspaper get the news?

At this time, a servant came in hurriedly, "Your Majesty, Lord Du wants to see you."

"Invite him in."

Li Tai nodded, then shook off the bird food in his hand and went to the pavilion to sit down.

Du Chuke came over in a hurry, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Sit down and talk."

Du Chuke thanked him and sat down, then he couldn't wait to say, "Your Majesty, the Lu family might be planning a rebellion."

Li Tai smiled and nodded, pointing outside and said, "My Prince Wei's Mansion is so big, I can still hear the cries of those newspaper vendors."

Du Chuke said softly, "The Crown Prince urgently summoned the three ministers of the Fang family and the six ministers to meet him."

Li Tai raised his eyebrows, "It seems that the Lu family really intends to fight to the end."

"But what good will it do them?"

"Just relying on the hundreds of thousands of people in Fanyang?"

Du Chuke shook his head. The Lu family had been operating in Fanyang for a long time and had a huge network of connections. They could even be said to be the local tyrants.

However, if Lu rebelled, it would be hard to say whether the hundreds of thousands of people in Fanyang would be willing to help him.

Du Chuke said in a deep voice: "Now the Tianxia newspaper has already published all the mistakes made by the Lu family's children."

"If I'm not mistaken, Su Chen wants to use this incident to dispel the thoughts of those who want to help the Lu family."

Li Tai thought for a moment, "Divide it."

Du Chuke: "Yes, only in this way can we break up the alliance of the noble families as much as possible."

"Otherwise, those who are still waiting and watching will feel that after the prince has dealt with the Lu family, he will have time to deal with them."

Li Tai laughed dumbly, "Isn't the new enlightenment the Crown Prince gave before aimed at them?"

Anyone with a common sense will understand the seriousness of this matter.

However, unlike the Lu family, the prince is boiling the frog in warm water, which will erode their influence bit by bit.

Du Chuke shook his head. "It is true that the Crown Prince's previous enlightenment to the new school was aimed at all the noble families, but he used the banner of improving education, which was acceptable for face."

"Even though many noble families knew his intention, they had no other options but to ask Kong Shaoxin and his men to come to Chang'an City."

“But this time, it was the Lu family’s children who made the mistake!”

"If these noble families want to intervene, they should think twice!"

Li Tai smiled. One died early, the other died late. It was just a difference in time.

There's no escape after all.

He actually felt that Lu still had some backbone and dared to go to war with the prince directly.

Du Chuke: "Once the Lu family rises up, I don't know whether the King of Qi will be harmed, but at least it will have a huge impact on the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Tai: "How can an egg remain intact when the nest is overturned?"

Du Chuke nodded slowly.

Li Tai laughed in silence, "You think too highly of Lu, don't you?"

Du Chuke said nothing and raised his hand to point into the distance.

Li Tai looked over and immediately frowned. The person from Jiucheng Palace was watching him!
If so...

"Brothers fight together to fight tigers, and fathers and sons fight together in battle!"

Li Tai smiled and said, "They are targeting my own brother. As his younger brother, I cannot stand it any longer."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

For a while.

The news of Lu's rebellion spread rapidly in all directions, with Chang'an as the center, like a pair of wings...
