Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 58 Li Chengqian: I don’t want to be a human being anymore!
Main hall.

Li Chengqian told Su Chen in detail what happened in the court today with a serious face.

The key point is undoubtedly the teaching measures proposed by Cui Renshi.

Cui Renshi proposed it, Kong Yingda agreed, and Du Chuke made up for it.

Although the three of them had never cooperated before, this time, they cooperated perfectly in the court, forcing Li Chengqian to accept such a task.

Li Chengqian sighed, "I originally thought that Kong Jijiu would take the initiative to make things difficult for me, but I didn't expect that this matter was actually proposed by Cui Renshi, and Kong Jijiu just went with the flow."

As for Du Chuke, it’s better not to mention him.

Anything related to Li Chengqian and anything that could embarrass Li Chengqian would never escape his grasp.

Even if it wasn't Du Chuke who stood up this time, someone else from Prince Wei's Mansion would have stood up.

Nothing different.

Cui Renshi...

Su Chen tapped his palms and said with a smile: "It is indeed a little beyond my expectations."

Li Chengqian looked over and saw Su Chen explaining, "There has been no movement from the Kong family these days. As for his disciples, they were shocked by my couplet and dared not act rashly."

"I thought Kong Yingda would come up with something big after holding it in for so long, but I didn't expect that it was because Lu Canjun was messed up that Cui Renshi jumped out, and he played a supporting role on the side."

Li Chengqian nodded, "Indeed."

If Lin had not been taken away by Zhao Jie on the way, how could Cui Renshi have jumped out?

However, Cui Renshi is also an old fox.

He knew that if he wanted to stand up for Lu Lulin, his energy alone was not enough, so he used the name of Chongwenguan to speak for him.

In this way, Kong Yingda and Su Chen were naturally involved.

With Kong Yingda's help, this matter already had an 80% chance of success. In addition, with the Prince of Wei's Mansion who liked to get involved, Li Chengqian had no chance to refuse!

"So, Lu Canjun should be Cui Renshi's man."

Su Chen deduced carefully, "So, Qian Yun and the other four were the thieves arranged by the Cui family to steal the soap method."

Li Chengqian nodded after thinking carefully, "Nine out of ten."

Su Chen smiled: "Bo Ling Cui family, the second branch of the Cui family, they are so famous that they would actually take a fancy to a small business like ours."

"The soap business is quite big now. I heard that it is making a fortune every day. Merchants from all over the country and even Western merchants are amazed by the soap."

Li Chengqian laughed and teased, then sighed, "It's just that I didn't expect that the Cui family of Boling would be so mean."

Who in the world doesn’t know the Five Surnames and Seven Families?
Any scholar is either a descendant of a sage or comes from one of these wealthy and prestigious families.

Few children from poor families can stand out.

It is really despicable that such a top aristocratic family arranged people to sneak into the workshop to steal the soap-making method.

"I originally wanted to deal with Kong Yingda, but I didn't expect to get an unexpected gain."

Su Chen smiled and tapped the folding fan in his hand, "If that's the case, then I've indirectly helped you a lot."

Li Chengqian was delighted, "I knew you had a way!"

Su Chen shook his head. "It's good for me, but it may not be a good idea for you."

Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows. Thinking of Su Chen's methods, he felt a little nervous. "What method do you have? Why don't you tell me first?"

Su Chen smiled slightly, "Dig the roots!"

"Root digging?"

Li Chengqian looked puzzled. "The Cui family originated in the Western Zhou Dynasty and got their surname from Shuyi. They have been passed down for thousands of years. Because the Cui family was prosperous, most of them served as officials. During this period, there were branches of the Cui family in Zhengzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou and other places, with a total of ten branches, big and small."

"It is not an easy task for you to dig up the roots of the Cui family! Even if my father wants to take action against the Cui family, he should think twice before doing so."

It is said that imperial power does not extend to the countryside, and only clans exist below the county level.

The Cui family has branched out to various places, and not only is it a large local clan, but they also have close ties with each other!

If you want to attack the Cui family and dig up their roots, you can't just capture the local Cui family. Instead, the area where they are located, dozens or even hundreds of miles in radius, is under the control of the Cui family.

To arrest the Cui family, they would have to face obstruction from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people and officials. It is even possible that the local officials are all descendants of the Cui family.

How is it possible to dig up the roots so easily?
If the Cui families in various places raised their flags in rebellion at the same time, they would be a force that could not be underestimated!

“Why send troops?”

Su Chen was puzzled. Li Chengqian was even more puzzled, "Then how did you dig up the foundation?"

Su Chen: "What is the foundation of the Five Surnames and Seven Families? Connections, resources, or knowledge?"

Li Chengqian frowned and thought for a moment, "Knowledge!"

"They have been passed down for thousands of years. The connections they have are incomprehensible, and the wealth they control is even more difficult to estimate."

"But in my opinion, the most important thing is knowledge."

"They hold in their hands countless scriptures that have long been lost. These are the most precious treasures."

"It is precisely because of these books that they can better educate future generations and make them one step ahead of their ancestors! One step faster, every step faster, they will be more comfortable in the officialdom!"

Snapped!
Su Chen snapped his fingers, "Yes, that's right!"

"The Five Surnames and Seven Families have countless documents and books at their disposal. With their cultural heritage, they can easily teach one, ten, or even hundreds of outstanding children."

"This kind of energy is definitely not something that a poor family student can even dream of."

"But if I could find a way to make countless poor students surpass them when they first start learning, what do you think would happen?"

At the time of enlightenment, they surpassed the children of the five surnames and seven famous families?

Li Chengqian laughed out loud instantly, "Stop it, Brother Su."

"In the Five Surnames and Seven Aristocratic Clans, there are not only well-educated people who are proficient in various subjects, but also great scholars who can read and write. It is too easy to enlighten a child."

"What about the poor children?"

"They have no books, no tuition, and no famous teachers. How can they be one step ahead of others?"

Su Chen smiled slightly, "What if there is?"

Li Chengqian smiled, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

because.

He saw the word "serious" on Su Chen's face.

No.

He can't really have it, right?
As soon as he thought of this, a terrifying idea arose in Li Chengqian's mind.

hiss!
Just thinking about it, Li Chengqian's hair stood on end and his scalp felt numb.

Gulu.

"Brother Su, you are kidding, right?"

Su Chen smiled but said nothing.

"No, you, you..."

Li Chengqian was speechless for a moment.

Is there an enlightenment method that can enable countless children from poor families to catch up with the children from wealthy and aristocratic families?
How could this be an attempt to dig up Cui's roots?

This is clearly an attempt to uproot the foundations of the Five Surnames and Seven Families!

All the ancestral graves were dug up!

"I am from the Li family, Brother Su."

Li Chengqian was like a bereaved family, wanting to cry but unable to, "You want me to destroy the foundation of my Li family? Do I, Li Chengqian, still want to be a human being?"

"..."

Su Chen still smiled without saying anything.

See this.

Li Chengqian knew that it was time for him to make a choice.

Okay, I won't be a human being anymore.

After a moment of hesitation, Li Chengqian took a deep breath and stared at Su Chen with burning eyes, "What's the plan?"

Su Chen stood up suddenly.

"Come with me."
