"What is Grandpa worried about? There is a way to strike first to be strong, and then to suffer, 'education and education reform' is imperative, doesn't the Confucian family want to seize the opportunity? If the Kong family doesn't start first, they will be preempted by others, and they will have a lot of complaints in the future after gaining fame! After seeing Kong Yingda's hesitation, Li Chengqian's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and there was no lack of threat in his tone.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the stakes are very high, it's not that the old minister doesn't allow it, but His Royal Highness always has to give the old minister some time to think about it."

"And this 'education reform' is not something that can be completed in a day or two, and His Highness's proclamation has now been found to have been going for some time, but no one has come to sign up, so it can be seen that it will take time for the people to accept it."

Although Kong Yingda is older, he is not old and confused, and he also understands the threat in Li Chengqian's words. Just imagine how the Confucian family has been the bull ear of the Central Plains education for thousands of years, how can he give up this opportunity to educate the people.

It's just that the Kong family is not his own Kong family, although he has the identity of the head of the Kong family, but such a major event still needs to be discussed in the clan. After all, if the family wants to survive, it doesn't seem to be a good thing to make a thousand fingers for the sake of fame.

"Grandpa needs to think about this, it's okay, the son-in-law is not an unreasonable person, but grandpa always has to give the son-in-law a time, right?" Li Chengqian did not answer Kong Yingda's question about whether he came to sign up, which made no sense at all.

Now everyone knows that the matter of education is in the hands of the family and the scholars, and if they do not release the news to the outside world, or conceal it and delay the time, Li Chengqian will not have a very good way.

This kind of thing can only wait for the people below to report it, or someone beats the drum to voice the grievances and report the matter, so that he can deal with the people below who are deceived and deceitful.

"Let's take half a month, after half a month, the old minister will give His Highness an answer anyway." Old man Kong had no choice but to agree to be squeezed by Li Chengqian.

"It's okay, then it's half a month, I hope that grandpa won't disappoint my son-in-law by then." The smile on Li Chengqian's face was extremely sincere, if he didn't listen to what he said, anyone would regard him as a 'five good young man' who respected the old and loved the young.

But in fact, Comrade Xiao Li at this time was trying his best to threaten an old man into a corner.

People say that the Kong family is so easy to deal with? Could it be that he can be threatened by a prince?

Indeed, if Li Chengqian is just an empty prince, he really can't threaten Lao Kong, but the problem now is that Xiao Li is not an empty prince, and he has a lot of resources in his hands.

Don't forget, there is also the largest Shini mine in Datang in Shandong, which includes Li Chengqian's share, Lao Cheng's share, and Lao Kong's share.

The advent of the pencil allowed the Kong family to gain a lot of fame among the students by taking advantage of this wind dynasty, which was given by Li Chengqian, but he never made any demands on the Kong family, and Kong did not reciprocate anything for him.

But not mentioning it does not mean that this incident did not happen, if the Kong family does not want to be criticized as ungrateful, then they can only respond to Li Chengqian's call, and even if they do not respond, there must be a reasonable reason.

Another point is Li Chengqian's persistence.

Judging from Kong Yingda's understanding of Li Chengqian, this is a typical character who does not stop until he reaches his goal, and from the moment he walked to the front desk and appeared in front of the ministers of the Tang Dynasty until now, there is not a single thing he wants to do but has not done.

Therefore, Lao Kong did not think that 'educational reform' was something that Li Chengqian could not do, and in this case, if the Confucian family did not choose to compromise, everything would come to fruition in the future, but he was afraid that the reputation of the Confucian family would likely become bad under his influence.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Lao Kong did not turn his face on the spot, but chose to be patient.

However, Li Chengqian did not leave after threatening Lao Kong, and after the threat, he always had to give a sweet date to eat to suit his style.

So in a moment of silence, he spoke again: "Master Confucius, this palace knows that this time the matter is very tricky, and it is normal that you need to think about it. However, this palace has recently heard that the prince of the country is a little confused, and is planning to recommend one person to his father to replace him, if there is a suitable candidate, he may wish to recommend one or two for the palace, so that the palace will not be timid in front of his father. ”

Li Chengqian changed his previous title and used an official title, which means that what he said later can be regarded as a promise in the officialdom, rather than a private plan.

One day in the future, he would really recommend someone to the old man like this.

The position of the Guozi priest wine sounds like an official in charge of wine, but in fact this position is equivalent to the later Minister of Education, and history records that Kong Yingda won this honor in the fourteenth year of Zhenguan and was selected by Li Er as a sacrificial wine.

After all, since there is a precedent, there is no reason why the old man will change his mind this time, and the left and right are only a few years in advance, and Comrade Xiao Li believes that under his own persuasion, the old man should still act in accordance with the decision made in history.

However, these things about Lao Kong are all seen by Li Chengqian from the books of later generations, and the current Lao Kong does not know.

So after hearing the Guozi Priest Wine, Kong Yingda wilted in an instant, and his original plan not to go through the muddy water disappeared, and he knew very well in his heart that Li Chengqian's killer move had worked, so he rushed to the position of the Guozi Priest Wine, and he had to agree to his request.

Thinking of this, Kong Yingda sighed heavily, smiled bitterly and arched towards Li Chengqian with both hands in his fists, the meaning was obvious: The old man is willing to bow down, and the old man agreed to your request.

"Okay, Master Confucius is really a happy person, this palace admires it!" Li Chengqian saw that Lao Kong had agreed, a victor's smile appeared on his face, and he got up and said, "Xiaowen will stay in your house this afternoon, there are still some important things to do in the palace, and I will pick her up in the evening." ”

Kong Yingda didn't expect Li Chengqian to be so direct, and he left immediately after the matter was discussed, and blurted out in surprise: "Your Highness is leaving?" ”

"The palace is also entangled in official business, so I have to go." Li Chengqian first sighed in the appearance of Lao Kong, and then said with a sneer: "Those people below regard the prince order of this palace as a deaf ear, if they don't kill their prestige, I really think that this palace has no way to take them." ”

"What?" Kong Yingda was stunned for a moment.

But soon he reacted to what Li Chengqian was going to do, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back.

This uneasy grandson-in-law is afraid that he is really going to take those children of the family this time.
