Chapter 374: Ass Determines Heads (17)
Cui Fu didn't say a word, and left the scene, he knew that this time the battle between the Shi clan and Chen Fei, or the Shi clan and the Hanmen, was actually lost at the beginning. Because the scholars could not suppress the idea that the Han clan wanted to become the ruling class, nor could they change the result of the continuous improvement of productivity, the scholars were doomed to lose, but sooner or later. And Chen Fei's existence has only shortened the process a lot, from hundreds of years to decades. The Scholars will usher in a higher challenge, and in this challenge, there are too few people who can continue to keep their wealth. This is almost a revolution, but a mild revolution, and it does not necessarily lead to a war. But this sense of powerlessness is deep in Cui Fu's heart.
If Cui Fu didn't know all this, maybe he was still the head of the Cui family, and he didn't have to worry about the future of the Cui family. But now that he is sitting in the position of the head of the Cui family, he naturally wants to think about the future of the Cui family. And the Cui family is now at a crossroads, if this change can't be overcome, then I'm afraid that the Cui family will completely sink next, and the Cui family, a family that has been around for hundreds of years, has since disappeared in the long river of history. At that time, the Cui family will probably disintegrate.
"Xiuxiu, what does the head of the Cui family mean, he didn't mention our relationship at all!" Chen Fei asked in surprise.
And Cui Xiuxiu also took the initiative to say: "Father, he agreed, he should not continue to care about our affairs in the future." ”
"Why? He didn't say a word! Chen Fei then asked.
Cui Xiuxiu said helplessly: "The reason why he didn't mention it this time is that he has two ideas. The reason why he came to ask you these questions is that he wants to use your judgment to verify whether the decline of the scholar clan is inevitable. If you judge that there is still hope for the nobles to continue to survive in this way, then this is probably the end of our relationship. But if you judge that the nobles must change and cannot survive in the future through the present method, then the father will not stop our relationship. ”
And Chen Fei was a little puzzled and asked, "Why is this happening?" What does this have to do with our relationship? ”
Choi so-so said: "Father, he doesn't really want to change the current situation. Because he just wants to be the head of the Taiping family, and he doesn't want to be the head of the Cui family who has changed with the tide of the times. Because he believes that he is not enough to bear the responsibility of the family to cope with the crisis of the changes of an era, such a responsibility may not be borne by the father. So his first thought was to stop the changes, or to postpone them for generations, so that he wouldn't have to worry so much about it when he closed his eyes. ”
But your answer made him desperate, because you had already ripened the cold door in advance, so that they would wake up in advance. And this change is more than 100 years ahead of schedule, and it happens to be completed by the generation of my father and the next generation. So my father had no choice but to go up. And you have also analyzed, this change cannot be stopped. My father also believed in your judgment, so he did not continue to stop our relationship. ”
Chen Fei then asked, "Then why didn't he stop it?" ”
"As his daughter, I think I still have a certain understanding of him, although he is talented, although he has received countless education since he was a child, he is much better than ordinary people, so he is confident that he can maintain the Cui family. But he is not the kind of person who can turn the tide in danger, nor is he the kind of person who can make the family survive a complete change of the times, he is not the kind of great man. So he is deeply self-aware of this. He didn't think he would be able to handle this change successfully, so he chose you! Cui Xiuxiu said.
"Choose me?" Chen Fei was still puzzled.
Cui Xiuxiu immediately explained: "My father chose to cooperate with you, he believed that your ability was to be able to become a great man, so he chose to cooperate with you." He's willing to help me give it to you. The price is that when the time comes to face the changes of the times, you can guide the Cui family to change. If you have a long-term vision to help the Cui family, then the Cui family can fully afford to survive after this change and become a new 'scholar'. ”
Chen Fei understood Cui Fu's thoughts. Because he knew what he was going to face next, he was bothered by it. And those other families don't know what the next era will face. This is what the ancient people could never understand what kind of social system the future generations had. So the other families didn't know that there would be a change in social class. Many families are still stupid to think that there is no thousand-year-old dynasty in the world. On the contrary, there is a thousand-year-old family. But they didn't know that the good days of the family were coming to an end.
And Cui Fu had been in contact with Chen Fei, so he already knew from Chen Fei that there would be an almost bloodless change next. And it was precisely because he knew this that he became very annoyed, and his attitude towards Chen Fei was very complicated. If Cui Fu didn't know about these things in the past, he might not hesitate to attack Chen Fei, after all, he couldn't tolerate a cold family who "bullied" his daughter like this. But now that he knows this, that there will be a change in the future, then he is very difficult. If he kills Chen Fei, then no one in this world knows better the essence and progress of this change, so if he kills Chen Fei, it will be equivalent to cutting off his own back road. Cui Fu didn't think he could lead the Cui family through this catastrophe, but he thought that Chen Fei could do it. So he became very hesitant, he knew that if he killed Chen Fei, then in the end, the Cui family might disappear in this catastrophe. If Chen Fei is kept and befriends Chen Fei, then the Cui family will have a great chance of surviving. In his personal feelings and family future, he chose the family future, he chose to ignore the relationship between Chen Fei and Cui Xiuxiu, anyway, as long as Chen Fei can help their Cui family at that time.
"My father has regarded you as a great man who has never been seen in a thousand years, so he chose to cooperate with you. As for the next, I hope you can help the Cui family. In fact, if he was still a scholar clan, even if it was just a small clan, his father would not be so embarrassed. Cui Xiuxiu said.
"Haha, if I were a scholar, then I wouldn't be able to see all of this at all!" Chen Fei said.
Chen Fei knew that if he was a scholar, then he might be a fan of the authorities, and he couldn't see all this at all. And it is precisely because Chen Fei is a descendant and not a scholar that he can see everything that will happen in the future. (To be continued......)
