Capital Datang

Seeing that the thoughts of people like Xiao Lin have been completely guided by him, Lu Hong also showed a smug smile in his eyes, and was about to tell the plan he had prepared for a long time, but at this moment he suddenly heard a cold snort from someone beside him , and then a man dressed as a fair scholar walked into the arena.

Seeing this person in the field, whether it was Xiao Lin or Lu Hong, both groups showed surprise, and even a few timid ones couldn't help taking a step back.The person who came in was Li Yexu, the eldest grandson of Duke Wei Li Jing, he was an outlier in the Imperial College, Duke Wei forbade him to practice martial arts, and at the same time sent him to study in the Imperial College, Li Yexu was very dissatisfied with this. He wanted to find an excuse to leave, so he made troubles in the Imperial College all day long. As a result, not only all the classmates were afraid of him, but even the master couldn't do anything about him.

"Lu Hong, put away your tricks for me. Isn't it because you saw Liu Lang starting a newspaper to control public opinion, so you feel jealous, do you want to start a newspaper yourself?" Li Yexu came in and swept Lu Hong's side coldly The person glanced at him, and then said with some disdain.

Hearing Li Yexu's words revealing his intentions, Lu Hong showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.As Li Yexu said, after seeing that Datang Daily favors industry and commerce, he had the idea of ​​starting his own newspaper. However, newspapers are a powerful weapon of the country, and Li Yin would not let them go easily, so he thought of motivating the students in the Imperial College Let all the students jointly write to the imperial court, requesting the opening of the newspaper industry, and then the family behind him will promote it, then this matter is likely to be successful, but it was unexpectedly broken by Li Yexu, who has always been out of gregarious.

But others are afraid of Li Yexu.He, Lu Hong, was not afraid, and was about to retort.But he heard the other party say to him again: "Lu Hong, don't think everyone is as dirty as you. Liu Lang is not a stingy person. He is already preparing for a private newspaper, so don't take it lightly. A man's heart measures a gentleman's belly!" Capital Datang 138

As soon as Li Yexu finished speaking, he ignored Lu Hong's angry eyes, turned around and left gracefully.Xiao Lin and the others are not stupid, they woke up after Li Yexu.Immediately understanding Lu Hong's next intentions, he snorted coldly, without even saying goodbye, turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves.As a result, the number of people on the field immediately decreased by half, and even among the remaining agricultural faction, many people felt a little disgusted by Lu Honggong's scheming approach, and deliberately kept a little distance from the opponent, with expressions on their faces. Showing a bit of coldness.

Seeing that the originally lively venue suddenly turned cold, Lu Hong, the protagonist, was angry and embarrassed. Fortunately, he had a few friends by his side, and one of them, a tall and thin young man, said loudly: " Hehe, everyone is in an academic dispute, so don't hurt the peace. Today is mainly to cleanse Lu Hong, and in a few months, it will be the day when Lu brother and younger brother's cousin get married. Everyone must join in the show ah!"

The person who spoke was Cui Huang, the eldest son of Cui Yan, the patriarch of Cui clan in Qinghe, and Cui Yu's cousin. The cousin he mentioned who was married to Lu Hong was Cui Yu's youngest sister.

Cui Huang not only came from a noble family, but he was also very popular in the Imperial College.Quite a few of the remaining people had friendship with him, so in view of his face, everyone's faces softened.Now that Xiao Lin and the others had left, they had no object to argue with, so they could only gather together in small groups, but the atmosphere was not as enthusiastic as before.

Cui Huang followed Lu Hong, who had a gloomy face, into a small bamboo pavilion next to him, and several other friends around him also followed.

"Brother Lu, what kind of anger is there with Li Yexu's life? The Duke of Wei does not allow his descendants to join the army. He is doomed to decline in the future. When Duke Wei dies, let's see what arrogance Li Yexu still has. ?” After several people sat down, one of the elegant young men said that this person’s name is Cui Jing, but he is not a descendant of the Qinghe Cui family, but a member of the Boling Cui family, which ranks first in the aristocratic family, and his father is a member of the clan. Therefore, he is also one of the core disciples of the Boling Cui family.

"Brother Cui is right. There is no need to be angry with Li Yexu. On the contrary, we have to thank the other party. The news he just revealed is very important. Qi Wang Li Yin wants to let go of the private newspaper. It saved us a lot of effort, so let's discuss how to start a newspaper?" Another handsome guy with a dark complexion and a sunny face said, this man's name is Li Bing, and he was born in the Li family of Zhao County.

"Brother Li, don't be too optimistic. Who is the king of Qi? How could he easily agree to start a private newspaper? And even if Li Yexu's words are true, I'm afraid there are many restrictions that we don't know about." Lu Hong Although he was annoyed, his mind was very clear, and he analyzed coldly.

"Although Li Yexu is arrogant and rude, he has always been on good terms with the King of Qi, and with his personality, he must not bother to lie, so the news he said is likely to be true. "Cui Huang also opened his mouth to analyze, "But as Brother Lu said, the other party will definitely impose many restrictions on the private newspaper, but these are not problems. As long as King Qi can let the private newspaper, then in the future Let’s see, as long as we mobilize the influence of various companies, we will definitely overshadow Datang Daily in the future and become the newspaper that can most influence the public opinion of Datang!”

"Brother Cui Huang, don't be too optimistic, the newspaper is not as simple as you think!" Cui Huang just finished speaking, and Cui Jing, who had a refined face, immediately retorted.Although the Cui clan of Boling and the Cui clan of Qinghe come from the same origin, it is precisely because of this that the competition between the two clans has become more intense. Everyone wants to overwhelm the other. In the past, the Cui clan of Qinghe was powerful, but now it is the Cui clan of Boling. The Cui family surpassed each other, so after the two clans met, they all competed with each other.

"Oh? Brother Cui Jing, what's your opinion?" Cui Huang saw that it was Cui Jing who interrupted him, and asked back with some displeasure.

"I can't talk about high opinions, but I just thought of some practical problems encountered in running a newspaper." Cui Jing glanced at Cui Huang and said indifferently, "I think everyone knows that the reason why newspapers can be popular on a large scale is due to the use of movable type. Printing and new paper-making techniques are inseparable, both of which are the patents of Prince Qi's Mansion, if we want to run a newspaper, we still can't get around the hurdle of King Qi in the end."

As soon as Cui Jing's words came out of his mouth, Lu Hong and Li Bing fell into deep thought, but Cui Huang said with a sneer on his face: "Brother Cui Jing, you are usually shrewd, why are you so confused in this relationship? Since Wang even dares to share the powerful weapon of the country with newspapers, why would he care about printing and papermaking?"

It has to be said that Cui Huang is worthy of being the son of the patriarch of the Cui clan in Qinghe, one sentence awakened everyone, Lu Hong and Li Bing suddenly realized, and praised Cui Huang loudly.Although Cui Jing showed a bit of embarrassment on his face, he also admitted defeat with great grace, admitting that he really didn't think thoroughly just now.

After talking about the newspaper, Lu Hong and the others chatted casually, and soon they talked about the heir to the throne.The few people sitting here are all from aristocratic families and have received good Confucian education since they were young, so everyone is full of talents, and their poems and essays are outstanding, so they are quite valued by Wei Wang and Li Tai. He is often invited to the banquet held by Li Tai. If Li Tai happens to be busy this time, maybe he will come to clean up for Lu Hong in person.It is precisely because of this that in the eyes of outsiders, they should all support Wei Wang Li Tai.

"Everyone, the prince's temperament has changed drastically, coupled with his disability, sooner or later he will be abolished by His Majesty, and among the remaining princes, the most likely to inherit the throne are naturally King Wei and King Qi, but from the recent performance It seems that King Qi is gradually gaining the upper hand, if His Majesty appoints him as the crown prince then it will be a disaster for us aristocratic families!" Cui Jing said first.

Industry and commerce were promoted by Li Yin alone. If he takes the throne, there will be no one in the world to check and balance him. Then industry and commerce will definitely be more prosperous, and the original agricultural-based social structure will undergo great changes. Even if these aristocratic families standing at the top of today's society do not die out, they will definitely not be able to maintain their current status.

"That's not necessarily true. After all, the king of Wei is the son of the empress. He is the son of the prince and the king of Jin. Moreover, the empress and his majesty have a strong relationship. In addition, there is an old fox named Changsun Wuji in the court, so he is considered the prince. If he is abolished, the new crown prince is likely to be selected from among the legitimate sons, so even if the king of Qi is favored again, if he wants to sit on the crown prince, I am afraid that the Guangchang Sun family will not agree!" As soon as Cui Jing said the words, still Cui Huang was the first to retort.

After listening to the words of the two, Lu Hong also nodded and said: "Brother Cui Huang's words are reasonable. The only legitimate sons are King Wei and King Jin. In comparison, it will be the most beneficial for us if King Wei can sit on the crown prince, even though he is a man. He is quite talented, but he is ignorant of human feelings, and he doesn't know how to adapt to situations. In addition, we have a good relationship with him, so it will be easier to influence his decision! It's a pity that he is not outstanding in political affairs other than being able to please His Highness If you want to sit on the throne, it is not an easy task.” Capital Datang 138

As soon as Lu Hong finished speaking, the sunny Li Bing suddenly showed a strange smile. Looking around, he found that there were confidantes guarding the bamboo pavilion outside, not afraid of someone eavesdropping, so he said softly: " Brother Lu's support for King Wei is naturally a very wise move, but my younger brother heard that when King Qi passed by Weizhou, he was assassinated by thieves and almost lost his life. Although this was not the case of King Wei It was done, but it was in King Wei's fiefdom. Fortunately, King Qi handled it properly, so it didn't spread. Otherwise, it would be another great blow to the reputation of His Highness King Wei. I don't know how Brother Lu felt after hearing it ?” (To be continued.
