Seeing that Xiao Lin's train of thought had been completely guided by himself, Lu Hong also showed a smug smile in his eyes, and was about to tell the plan he had been preparing for a long time, but at this time, he suddenly heard a cold snort from someone next to him, and then a person dressed as a white scholar walked into the field.

Seeing this person in the field, whether it was Xiao Lin or Lu Hong, the two groups of people all showed surprise, and even a few timid people couldn't help but take a step back. The person who came in was Li Yexu, the eldest grandson of Wei Gong Li Jing, he was an outlier in the Guozi Prison, Wei Gong forbade him to practice martial arts, and at the same time sent him to study in the Guozi Prison, Li Yexu was very dissatisfied with this, and wanted to find an excuse to leave, so he made trouble in the Guozi Prison all day long, and as a result, not only all his classmates were afraid of him, but even the master had no way to take him.

"Lu Hong, put away your tricks for Lao Tzu, didn't you just see Liulang start a newspaper to control public opinion, so you feel red-eyed and want to start a newspaper yourself?" Li Yexu came in and glanced coldly at the people on Lu Hong's side, and then said with some disdain.

Hearing Li Yexu's words to break his intentions, Lu Hong's face showed a trace of shame. As Li Yexu said, after seeing that Datang Daily favored industry and commerce, he came up with the idea of starting his own newspaper, but the newspaper is a sharp weapon of the country, and Li Su will definitely not let go easily, so he thought of agitating the students in the Guozi Prison, let all the students go to the court together, ask for the opening of the newspaper industry, and then promote it by the family behind him, then this matter is very likely to succeed, but he didn't expect to be broken by Li Yexu, who has always been out of place.

However, others are afraid of Li Yexu, but he Lu Hong is not afraid, and when he was about to ridicule him, he heard the other party say to him again: "Lu Hong, don't think everyone is as dirty as you, Liulang is not a stingy person." He is already preparing for a private newspaper, so don't spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! ”

As soon as Li Yexu finished speaking, he ignored Lu Hongdu's almost angry gaze, turned around and left in a dashing manner. Xiao Lin and they are not stupid, after Li Yexu woke up so little, they immediately understood Lu Hong's next intentions, and they all snorted coldly at the moment, and they didn't even say goodbye. As soon as he flicked his sleeves and turned around, he left, and as a result, most of the people on the field immediately decreased, and even among the remaining agricultural factions, many people felt a little disgusted by Lu Honggong's scheming methods. deliberately kept a little distance from the other party, and his face showed a little coldness.

Seeing that the venue, which was still very lively, suddenly cooled down, Lu Hong, as the protagonist, was angry and embarrassed, but fortunately he had a few friends around him. I saw one of the tall and thin young men say loudly: "Hehe, everyone is in an academic dispute. Don't hurt the harmony, today is mainly to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Lu Hong, and in a few months, it will be the day when Brother Lu and his younger brother's cousin get married, everyone must be there when they come! ”

The man who spoke was Cui Huang. He is the eldest son of Cui Yan, the patriarch of the Cui clan in Qinghe, and is a cousin with Cui Yu. The cousin he was talking about who was married to Lu Hong was Cui Yu's youngest sister.

Cui Huang is not only noble, but also very popular in the country, and many of the remaining people have friendships with him, so for the sake of his face, everyone's faces have eased. Now that Xiao Lin is gone. They had no one to argue about, so they had to gather in groups. It's just that the atmosphere is not as warm as before.

Cui Huang then walked into a small bamboo pavilion next to Lu Hong, who looked gloomy, and several other friends around him also followed, all of them were children of a family with five surnames and seven hopes, and they were naturally staunch agricultural factions.

"Brother Lu, what kind of anger is there with Li Yexu's kind of life, Wei Guogong does not let his children and grandchildren participate in the army, it is destined to decline in the future, and when Wei Guogong dies, what arrogance does Li Yexu have at that time?" After a few people sat down, one of the elegant young men said, this person's name is Cui Jing, but he is not a child of the Qinghe Cui clan, but from the Boling Cui clan, which ranks first in the family, and his father is an important figure in the clan, so he is also one of the core children of the Boling Cui clan.

"Brother Cui is right, there is no need to be angry with Li Yexu, on the contrary, we have to thank each other, the news he just revealed is very important, Li Su, the king of Qi, actually wants to let go of the private newspaper, in this way, it saves us a lot of effort, so let's discuss how to start a newspaper, right?" Another handsome guy with a slightly dark face and a sunny face said, this person'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 open a private newspaper? And even if Li Yexu's words are true, I am afraid that there are many restrictions that we do not know. Although Lu Hong was annoyed, his mind was very sober, and he analyzed coldly.

"Although Li Yexu is arrogant and rude, he has always been good friends with the King of Qi, and with his character, he must not disdain to lie, so the news he said should be true nine times out of ten." Cui Huang also opened his mouth to analyze, "But as Brother Lu said, the other party will definitely make many restrictions on the matter of private newspapers, but these are not problems, as long as King Qi can let private newspapers, then it will depend on us in the future, as long as the influence of each family is mobilized, it must be able to overshadow the limelight of Datang Daily in the future and become the newspaper that can most influence public opinion in Datang!" ”

"Brother Cui Huang, don't be too optimistic, the newspaper is not as simple as you think!" As soon as Cui Huang's words fell, Cui Jing, who had an elegant face, immediately retorted. Although the Boling Cui clan and the Qinghe Cui clan are from the same source, it is precisely because of this that the competition between the two clans is more intense, and everyone wants to overpower each other.

"Oh? What is Brother Cui Jing's opinion? Cui Huang saw that it was Cui Jing who interrupted him, and he also asked with some displeasure.

"I can't talk about it, but 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 be popular on a large scale is inseparable from movable type printing and new papermaking technology, both of which are patents of the Qi Palace. ”

As soon as Cui Jing's words came out, Lu Hong and Li Bing both fell into deep thought, but they saw Cui Huang said with a sneer: "Brother Cui Jing, seeing that you are usually shrewd, why are you confused at this moment in the relationship?" Since the king of Qi even dared to take out the newspaper and share it with others, how could he care about printing and papermaking? ”

I have to say that Cui Huang is worthy of being the son of the patriarch of the Cui clan in Qinghe, and he woke everyone up with one sentence, Lu Hong and Li Bing immediately came to their senses and praised Cui Huang loudly. Although Cui Jing showed a little embarrassment on his face, he also admitted defeat with great grace, admitting that he had really not thought through enough just now.

After talking about the newspaper, Lu Hong and the others chatted casually, and soon talked about the heir to the throne. The few people they are sitting here are all from big families, and they have received a good Confucian education since childhood, so everyone is full of talent, and their poems and essays are outstanding, so they are valued by Li Tai, the king of Wei, and they are often invited to participate in the banquet held by Li Tai. It is precisely because of this that in the eyes of outsiders, they should all support Li Tai, the king of Wei.

"Everyone, the prince's temperament has changed greatly, and he has a disability, sooner or later he will be abolished by His Majesty, and among the remaining princes, the most likely to inherit the throne is naturally King Wei and King Qi, but judging from the recent performance, King Qi has gradually gained the upper hand, if His Majesty makes him the crown prince at that time, then it will be terrible for us families!" Cui Jing said first.

Industry and commerce are promoted by Li Su, if he sits on the throne, there is no one in the world to balance him, then industry and commerce will definitely be more prosperous, and the original social structure based on agriculture will also undergo great changes, and then they, the families who stand at the top of today's society, will definitely not be able to maintain their current status even if they do not disappear.

"That's not necessarily, after all, King Wei is from the queen, and the prince and the king of Jin are all sons-in-law, and the queen and His Majesty have a very close relationship, plus there is an old fox in the court to support the eldest grandson Wuji, so even if the prince is deposed, the new prince is likely to be elected from among the sons-in-law, so even if the king of Qi is favored, if he wants to sit on the throne of the prince, I am afraid that the Changsun family alone will not agree!" As soon as Cui Jing's words came out, Cui Huang was still the first to refute.

After listening to the words of the two, Lu Hong also nodded and said: "What Brother Cui Huang said is reasonable, there are only the King of Wei and the King of Jin, in comparison, if the King of Wei can sit on the crown prince, it will be the most beneficial to us, although he is quite talented and learned, but he is not human, and he does not know how to be flexible in case of trouble, plus we are friendly with him, and it will be more convenient for him to make decisions when the time comes!" It's a pity that in addition to pleasing His Royal Highness, he has no outstanding performance in political affairs, and it is not easy to sit on the throne. ”

As soon as Lu Hong's words fell, Li Bing, who had a sunny face, suddenly showed a strange smile, looked around, and found that there were henchmen guarding outside the bamboo pavilion, not afraid of someone eavesdropping, so he said softly: "Brother Lu's support for the King of Wei is naturally an extremely wise move, but the younger brother heard that when the King of Qi passed through Weizhou, he was assassinated by a thief and almost lost his life, although this matter was not done by the King of Wei, but it was in the fief of the King of Wei, fortunately, the King of Qi handled this matter properly, so it did not spread, Otherwise, it may be a great blow to the reputation of His Royal Highness King Wei, I don't know how Brother Lu feels after hearing it? ”
