Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Seeing that the thoughts of Xiao Lin and others had been completely guided by him, Lu Hong also showed a proud smile in his eyes. He was about to tell the plan that he had prepared for a long time, but then he suddenly heard a cold snort from someone next to him, and then a  A fair-skinned man dressed as a scholar walked into the scene.

    Seeing the person in the scene, whether it was Xiao Lin or Lu Hong, both groups showed surprise, and even a few timid ones couldn't help but take a step back.  The man who came in was none other than Li Yexu, the eldest grandson of Duke Wei Li Jing. He was an anomaly in the Imperial College. Duke Wei forbade him from practicing martial arts and sent him to the Imperial College to study. Li Yexu was very dissatisfied with this and had already  He wanted to find an excuse to leave, so he made trouble in the Imperial College all day long. As a result, not only did all his classmates fear him, but even the master couldn't do anything about him.

    "Lu Hong, put your tricks away from me. Aren't you jealous because you saw Liulang starting a newspaper to control public opinion? Do you want to start a newspaper yourself?" Li Yexu came in and glanced at Lu Hong coldly.  The man glanced at him and said with some disdain.

    Hearing Li Yexu's words to expose his intentions, Lu Hong showed a trace of embarrassment on his face.  As Li Yexu said, after seeing that Datang Daily favored industry and commerce, he came up with the idea of ??starting his own newspaper. However, newspapers are a weapon of the country, and Li Min would not let go easily, so he thought of inciting the students in the Imperial College  , let all the students jointly submit a letter to the court, requesting the opening of the newspaper industry, and then the family behind him will promote it, then this matter will have a high chance of success, but unexpectedly it will be exposed by Li Yexu, who has always been unsociable.

    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 that everyone is as dirty as you are. Liu Lang is not a stingy person. He is already preparing for the private newspaper, so don't think of others as petty.  A man¡¯s heart measures a gentleman¡¯s belly!¡±

    As soon as Li Yexu finished speaking, he ignored Lu Hong's almost furious gaze, turned around and left coolly.  Xiao Lin and the others are not stupid either. They woke up after Li Yexu.  Immediately understanding Lu Hong's next intention, he snorted coldly, without even saying goodbye, he turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves.  As a result, most of the people on the field immediately disappeared. Even among the remaining agriculturalists, many people were a little disgusted with Lu Honggong's scheming methods. They deliberately kept a certain distance from each other, with a look on their faces.  A bit cold.

    Seeing that the originally lively venue suddenly turned cold, Lu Hong, as the protagonist, was angry and embarrassed. Fortunately, he had a few friends around him. One of them, a tall and thin young man, said loudly: "  Haha, we are all arguing about academics, so we must not hurt the harmony. Today is mainly to give Lu Hong a clean break, and in a few months, it will be the day when Brother Lu will marry his younger cousin, so everyone must support him when he gets there.  ah!"

    The name of the person speaking was Cui Huang, the eldest son of Cui Yan, the leader of the 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 was not only of noble birth, but also very popular in the Imperial College.  Many of the remaining people had friendships with him, so for his sake, everyone's expressions softened.  Now that Xiao Lin and the others are gone, they no longer have anyone to argue with, so they can only gather in small groups, but the atmosphere is not as lively as before.

    Cui Huang then followed the gloomy-looking Lu Hong into a small bamboo pavilion nearby, followed by several other friends around him. They all came from aristocratic families with five surnames and seven hopes, and naturally they were all staunch agriculturalists.

    "Brother Lu, why are you so angry with people like Li Yexu? Duke Wei does not allow his descendants to join the army, and he is doomed to decline in the future. When Duke Wei dies, let's see what arrogance Li Yexu has.  ?" After a few people sat down, one of the elegant young people said, this person's name is Cui Jing, but he is not a child of the Cui family of Qinghe, but from the Boling Cui family, which ranks first among the aristocratic families, and his father is from the clan.  An important figure in the family, so he is also one of the core disciples of the Bolingcui family.

    "Brother Cui is right. There is no need to be angry with Li Yexu. On the contrary, we have to thank him. The information he just revealed is very important. King Qi Li Min actually wants to let go of private newspapers. In this way, it saves us  It took 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 King 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 angry, his mind was very clear and he analyzed it coldly.

    "Although Li Yexu is arrogant and rude, he has always been on good terms with the King of Qi, and with his character, he must not bother to lie. Therefore, the news he told, it should be true most likely.  Cui Huang also analyzed and said, "But as Brother Lu said, the other party will definitely impose many restrictions on private reporting, but these are not problems. As long as King Qi allows private reporting, then he will have to do it in the future."  It's up to us. As long as we mobilize the influence of each company, we will definitely be able to overshadow the Datang Daily and become the newspaper that can most influence the public opinion of Datang!  "

    "Brother Cui Huang, don't be too optimistic. Newspapers are not as simple as you think!" As soon as Cui Huang finished speaking, Cui Jing, who looked elegant, immediately retorted.  Although the Boling Cui clan and the Qinghe Cui clan 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 outdo the other. In the past, the Qinghe Cui clan was the most powerful, but now it is dominated by the Boling clan.  The Cui family took over, so after the people of the two clans met, they all competed with each other.

    "Oh? Brother Cui Jing, what do you think?" Cui Huang asked with some displeasure when he saw that it was Cui Jing who interrupted him.

    "I can't speak highly of it, I just think of some practical problems encountered when running a newspaper." Cui Jing glanced at Cui Huang and said lightly, "I think everyone knows that the reason why newspapers can become popular on a large scale is because of the movable type  Printing and new papermaking technology are inseparable, both of which are the patents of Prince Qi's Palace. If we want to run a newspaper, we still can't get around Prince Qi's hurdle in the end."

    As soon as Cui Jing's words came out, Lu Hong and Li Bing were both lost in thought, but Cui Huang said with a sneer: "Brother Cui Jing, seeing that you are usually smart, why did you become confused at this moment?"  Since the king dares to share a national weapon like a newspaper with others, why would he care about printing and papermaking?"

    It has to be said that Cui Huang is worthy of being the son of the leader of the Cui clan in Qinghe. One sentence woke everyone up. Lu Hong and Li Bing immediately realized it and praised Cui Huang loudly.  Although Cui Jing's face showed a bit of embarrassment, he admitted defeat in a very graceful manner, admitting that he did not think carefully enough just now.

    After finishing talking about the newspaper, Lu Hong and the others chatted casually for a few more words, and soon came back to the matter of the heir to the throne.  The few people they are sitting here are all from aristocratic families, and have received good Confucian education since childhood. Therefore, everyone is full of talents and is outstanding in poetry and writing. Therefore, they are highly valued by King Li Tai of Wei, and they usually also  He is often invited to attend banquets held by Li Tai. If Li Tai had not happened to be busy this time, he might have come to greet Lu Hong in person.  It is precisely because of this that in the eyes of outsiders, they should all support Wei King Li Tai.

    "Everyone, the prince's temperament has changed drastically, coupled with his disability, he will be deposed by your majesty sooner or later. Among the remaining princes, the ones most likely to inherit the throne are naturally King Wei and King Qi. However, judging from recent performance,  King Qi is gradually gaining the upper hand. If His Majesty appoints him as the crown prince, it will be a disaster for us wealthy families!" Cui Jing said first.

    Industry and commerce was promoted by Li Min. If he waits for him to take the throne, no one in the world can check him. Industry and commerce will definitely be more prosperous by then, and the original social structure based on agriculture will also undergo major changes.  These aristocratic families who stand at the top of today's society will never be able to maintain their current status even if they do not die.

    "That's not necessarily true. After all, the King of Wei is the daughter of the Queen, and he, the Crown Prince, and the King of Jin are all legitimate sons, and the Queen and His Majesty have a very close relationship. In addition, there is an old fox named Changsun Wuji supporting him in the court, so even if he is the Crown Prince  If he is deposed, the new crown prince is likely to be selected from the legitimate sons. Therefore, even if King Qi is favored again, if he wants to sit on the throne of crown prince, I am afraid that the Guang Changsun family will not agree!" As soon as Cui Jing's words came out, he was still  It was Cui Huang who was the first to retort.

    After listening to the words of the two people, Lu Hong also nodded and said: "What Brother Cui Huang said is reasonable. The only legitimate sons are King Wei and King Jin. In comparison, it would be most beneficial to us if King Wei could become the crown prince. Although he is a human being,  He is quite talented, but he is impersonal and does not know how to adapt to situations. In addition, if we are on good terms with him, it will be easier to influence his decisions! It is a pity that apart from being able to please His Highness, he is not outstanding in political affairs.  With his performance, if you want to sit on the throne, it will not be easy."

    As soon as Lu Hong finished speaking, Li Bing, who had a sunny face, suddenly showed a strange smile. He looked around and found that there were close family members guarding outside the bamboo pavilion. He was not afraid of anyone eavesdropping, so he said softly: "Brother Lu, support  King Wei naturally made 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 King Wei did not do this, it was  In the fiefdom of King Wei, fortunately King Qi handled this matter properly and did not spread it. Otherwise, it would have been a huge blow to the reputation of His Highness King Wei. I wonder what Brother Lu thought after hearing this?" rs!  ~!
