No, "Your Majesty, at least not yet!" Seeing that Li Shimin was not satisfied with the big killer of printing, he even wanted to use other means to accelerate the decline of the family, which made Li Xiu hurriedly stopped.

"Why not, the Analects are about to be printed, as long as a large number of Analects appear on the market, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the family, and then it will not be a good time to beat the water dogs?" Li Shimin saw Li Xiu's objection, and couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

"It's right to beat the water dogs, but even if Your Majesty prints out the Four Books and Five Classics, the family will not immediately become a water dog, and their influence in the court will not disappear immediately, if Your Majesty is too urgent, I'm afraid these families will jump over the wall in a hurry, and if they really break the net with the imperial court, it will be terrible!" Li Xiu was eager to persuade at the moment.

Speaking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but think of the words that Cui Gan threatened himself when he left before, although he didn't care about the other party's threat, but he didn't want to force the family too hard, after all, for a huge country, stability is the most important, and a force like the family that has been integrated into all aspects of the country, the best way is to let it wither and die little by little, so as not to bring too much turmoil to the country.

"But I'm also a little worried, if the day goes on, if these families are doing ghosts behind their backs, maybe it will bring some trouble!" Although Li Shimin agreed with Li Xiu's words, he also expressed his own opinions.

"Your Majesty, in fact, since the implementation of the imperial examination, the decline of the family has been the trend of the times, and now we have made the printing press, which has accelerated the decline of the family, and Your Majesty is in the prime of life, as long as Your Majesty does not relax his vigilance against the family, there is no need to worry about the family in the future!" Li Xiu spoke again.

"You're right, on the surface, the imperial examination is a channel to gather talents from all over the world, but in fact, it is to break the monopoly of the family, so that people from poor families can also have a channel to advance to the level, only in this way can talents be reused by the imperial court, so that they will not go to extremes because they do not meet talents, so the imperial examination is the best weapon to deal with the family!" When Li Shimin said the end, he couldn't help but show a little relaxed smile, although he attached importance to the imperial examination before, he didn't think so deeply, and it wasn't until today's reminder that Li Xiu woke up.

"In fact, the imperial examination can still be improved, such as the submission of papers before the imperial examination, and the examiner can see the names of the candidates when reviewing the papers, which will give the family a great advantage, so if Your Majesty is determined, you can improve the imperial examination method little by little, of course, it is better not to make too many moves now, after all, we have already taken the lead, there is no need to force the family to a dead end!" Li Xiu spoke again at this time and suggested.

"I understand what you mean, I can't be anxious to deal with the family, and even if I can't let the family fall in my life, and my sons and grandchildren, now that our royal family has the initiative, sooner or later, I will make these families completely lose the power to turn over!" Li Shimin finally made a choice at this time, and said with a firm expression at the moment.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Li Xiu also immediately saluted loudly when he saw this, which was also the point he was most satisfied with Li Shimin, that is, being able to listen to other people's advice, which was really valuable for an emperor.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Li Shimin's lifelong goal is to hope that the Tang Dynasty will be stable, and Li Xiu's greatest wish is to hope that the people of the world will live and work in peace and contentment, so now the goals of the two of them are almost the same, which is also the basis for them to cooperate sincerely.

Next, Li Shimin and Li Xiu discussed the family's possible counterattack next, but Li Shimin, as the emperor, holds the military power of the Tang Dynasty, to paraphrase a sentence from later generations: power comes out of the barrel of a gun, especially Li Shimin is now occupying the initiative, so although the family may fight back, it is nothing to Li Shimin, at least he doesn't have to be disgraced like before.

After the matter was discussed, Li Xiu said goodbye and left, after all, he also has a lot of things to do now, and he doesn't have to worry about the printing office for the time being, but there are still a bunch of things on the side of the financial supervisor, such as the construction of a bank in Yangzhou, which also requires him to mobilize a lot of manpower and material resources, and he also plans to combine the trading company founded by Li Ke with the bank, which also needs him to worry about.

So Li Xiu walked out of the Liangyi Hall and walked towards the financial supervisor, but not far from the Liangyi Palace, he saw a familiar carriage parked in front of him, which was the carriage that Li Chengdao took last time, because his feet were inconvenient, so he could only rely on the carriage, and Li Shimin also authorized him to take the car wherever he was.

"Sir!" When Li Xiu approached the carriage, he saw Li Chengqian walking down from the carriage and saluting, looking at him, it seemed that he had been waiting here for a long time.

"Chengqian, why are you here, have you finished today's government affairs?" When he saw Li Chengqian, Li Xiu also stepped forward with a smile and asked, as Li Chengqian became more and more familiar with government affairs, Li Shimin also handed over some government affairs to him to handle, so he, the prince, was usually not easier than Li Shimin.

"Today's government affairs have been dealt with, and I just heard that Mr. is here with my father, so I came here to meet Mr.!" I saw Li Chengqian say with a solemn expression at this time, as if he had something important to say to him.

"Oh? What's the matter with you? Li Xiu couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard this, although there had been some conflicts between their teachers and students before, but later, in order to treat his injuries, Li Xiu often went to the East Palace, and the relationship between the two slowly recovered, at least there was no awkward atmosphere when they met.

"I ......" I saw that Li Chengqian hesitated for a moment, and only after a moment did he speak, "Can Mr. accompany me for a walk?" ”

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, and then walked out along the passage outside the Liangyi Palace, and the entourage brought by Li Chengqian also followed from a distance, and the surroundings were relatively empty, so that they gave their master and apprentice a space to talk alone.

"Sir, I'm ...... I heard that last time you went to the south and brought Qi Niang with you, why didn't you see her come back with you, did you stay in her shipbuilding workshop again? At this time, I saw Li Chengqian take a deep breath, and then slowly asked.

Hearing Li Chengqian ask about Qi Niang, Li Xiu's heart couldn't help but sink, and he was silent for a moment before he spoke: "I heard that Chengqian's wedding date has arrived, and you are about to marry the crown princess, I wonder if you are ready?" ”

Li Xiu didn't want to tell Li Chengqian that Qi Niang had gone to the Americas, and Li Chengqian had already been engaged to the Su family, so he shouldn't think about these things now, so he specially reminded him.

"My marriage is decided by my father and uncle anyway, so why should I worry about it?" I saw that Li Chengqian laughed at this time, although his tone of voice was very flat, but it made people feel that there was a bit of resentment hidden under this blandness.

"There are gains and losses in life, you are born a royal family, and you enjoy the wealth that ordinary people cannot reach, so naturally you have to pay some price, after all, there is never a perfect thing in this world!" Li Xiu spoke again and said.

"But since I was sensible, my father made me the crown prince, and no one ever asked me if I wanted to, and sometimes I wondered, if I wasn't the prince, could I marry someone I liked?" Li Chengqian finally couldn't control his temper at this time, and said again with grief and indignation.

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Xiu didn't know what to say for a while, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "None of us can choose our own origin, and sometimes we have to learn to accept ourselves." ”

"Mr. can't choose his own background, but you still go out of the house, and now you don't have any contact with Wei Guogong, and the emperor's grandfather didn't agree to your marriage to your aunt at the beginning, but didn't you still give up and ended up with your aunt?" Li Chengqian suddenly retorted at this time, and also took Li Xiu's own example.

"This ......" Li Xiu was also speechless for the first time by his own students, to be exact, he should have been blocked by himself, which made him speechless.

Seeing Li Xiu's speechless appearance, instead of being proud, Li Chengqian took a deep breath again and said, "Sir, now you should be able to tell me where Qi Niang went, right?" ”

Li Xiu didn't expect Li Chengqian to be so concerned about Qi Niang's affairs, what he said just now seemed to be in vain, which made him sigh, and then he was silent for a moment before he spoke again: "Cheng Qian, why do you have to know where Qi Niang went, it doesn't mean anything to you at all!" ”

"Sir, I'm getting married soon, and this is the last time I will ask you about Qi Niang, and I ask you to do it!" Li Chengqian pleaded bitterly at this time.

When Li Xiu went to the south before, others didn't notice that Qi Niang also went with him, but Li Chengqian has been paying attention to Qi Niang, so he knew not long after Qi Niang left Chang'an, originally he thought that Qi Niang was still the same as last time, just going to the shipbuilding workshop in the south, but he didn't expect Li Xiu to come back alone, but Qi Niang didn't see it, which made him also have a bad premonition, he has been holding back these days and not looking for Li Xiu, after all, he is also a person who is about to get married, but today he really can't help it.

Seeing Li Chengqian's pleading, Li Xiu really couldn't bear to refuse, only to see him silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "Chengqian, why are you suffering?" Actually, even if I don't say it, you should be able to guess! ”
