Xiao Rui sat back in his seat and took a sip of the teacup leisurely.

immediately raised a question: "The head of the Cui family, since no matter who is on the throne, he will suppress the scholars and raise up the Han family and the common people." Today, Zi Xiong is strategic, his strategists are like clouds, military generals are like rain, the Quartet is attached, and the sea is united. The prosperous future is already foreseeable, how can you have the confidence that the five surnames and seven hopes are twisted into a rope, and you can withstand the suppression of His Majesty? ”

Well???

What does this mean?

After pondering for a moment, Cui Shouzhen asked with some uncertainty, "What does Master Hou mean?" Could it be that Your Majesty is ready to subdue our five surnames and seven hopes? ”

Crush?

Xiao Rui shook his head, "Suppression? That's not His Majesty's style. ”

"So, is Your Majesty going to disintegrate us and destroy us in the end?" Thinking of the current emperor's methods and ruthlessness, Cui Shouzhen actually didn't need to ask, but he said calmly: "He is not the first to think so, Yang Guang of the previous dynasty also thought so, and the imperial examination is his means." How does it end up? ”

There was a hint of disdain in his tone.

Xiao Rui smiled, "The five surnames and seven hopes are twisted into a rope?" That's just an expectation, after all, the five surnames and seven families are seven, and each has its own interests. Find the key points, divide you, and it is not difficult to defeat each one. ”

Well?

Cui Shouzhen looked at the proud young man in front of him and asked curiously, "Your Majesty said this?" ”

Xiao Rui put away his smile and said seriously: "It was me Xiao Rui who said it." ”

You!

Cui Shouzhen was choked a lot.

If this was said by the emperor, he would be full of disdain, most of the people in the court were people with five surnames and seven wangs, and it was too difficult for the emperor to do this. Emperor Yang Guang of the Great Cause failed, how strong is he Li Er? Give him thirty years, and if he can't be a man, he will die. The kings of later generations may not have Li Er's eloquence.

In fact, the emperor who disintegrated and overwhelmed the five surnames and seven hopes, and the real emperor was the legendary empress. I'm afraid they never dreamed that the Li Tang Dynasty would come up with a domineering empress.

Now to split and break the five surnames and seven hopes, is this young man in front of him say it? For another person, Cui Shouzhen can beat him to death with a big fight. But the other party is Xiao Rui, a young man who has repeatedly created miracles.

Although he is reluctant to admit it, the defeat of Turkic Jieli is half of Xiao Rui's credit. The powerful Turks, who had 200,000 iron horsemen, were defeated, and the five surnames and seven wangs had to be cautious.

After a moment of silence, Cui Shouzhen stared at Xiao Rui's eyes, "Master Hou, are you serious?" ”

Xiao Rui smiled, "As you said, I am the emperor's son-in-law." Of course, we must help him realize his ideals. ”

Got it.

Cui Shouzhen slapped the table, got up and stood up, "Okay, then I'll Qinghe Cui's family, just wait for Hou Ye to make a move." Since you and I are enemies of each other, then please forgive Cui for being rude, Hou Ye, please. ”

Well?

Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Cui Shouzhen's arm, "Master Cui, why are you chatting and chatting, and you are going to send off guests?" Xiao is here to marry the two families, and the war can be put aside, and the marriage has not yet been discussed. ”

Burst......

Cui Shouzhen was so angry that he trembled, and pointed at Xiao Rui for a long time and couldn't speak.

"I've never seen someone so brazen. Since they are rivals to each other, why do you mention two families getting married? No way! ”

Xiao Rui pulled Cui Shouzhen and said with a smile: "Why don't you listen to my countermeasures and see if I can break your alliance?" How about we have a conversation on paper? ”

Paper?

Cui Shouzhen doesn't understand, what the hell is Xiao Rui doing? Can you tell me in advance about your elaborate plans? How? Are we scared?

"That's right, on paper, after listening to my plan, you can see if you can break up your alliance."

"But there's one thing I'll say beforehand, if you admit that my solution works, you're going to lose. You can't stop the marriage of Ling Ai and Cheng Qian. ”

Cui Shouzhen was dissatisfied: "That's not good. One thing is one thing, Cui will not trade his daughter's marriage. ”

Oh? It's true?

"Then you marry each other and imprison the alliance in the way of your sons and daughters, isn't it a deal?" Xiao Rui mocked.

Cui Shouzhen snorted coldly: "Family marriage is a family matter, and my Cui Shouzhen's daughter does not marry." ”

Xiao Rui couldn't help but glance at this person, stroked his palms and praised: "Okay, Xiao is also a father, and he also has a lovely daughter." Just say this to you, and make a bet. Today's talk is only on paper. ”

After speaking, Xiao Rui ordered someone to come in with a small wooden box.

"Inside this small box is a gift from Xiao to the Cui family."

Oh?

Cui Shouzhen can't understand it, what is Xiao Rui selling? Since you brought a gift to my Cui family, you should have taken it out on the first day of meeting, why did you take it out now?

"Don't worry, Qinghe Cui's family is not short of money, and what Xiao gave is not yellow and white. It's just a few books. Xiao Rui opened the box with his own hands, and there were indeed several exquisite booklets inside.

Hey?

"Not an ancient book? Looking at the binding, it seems to be a new paper and a new book? Cui Shouzhen reached out and took it.

Xiao Rui explained with a smile: "Yes, new paper and new books, and new content." It is Xiao who invited a master to compile a few booklets, which have been put into mass printing, this is the first batch of finished products to be printed, and it will be put on the market soon. ”

Oh?

"Hou Ye's literary style is unconvinced, I heard that Hou Ye also published a few books in his spare time, but they are all words. Could it be that this is also a script? ”

Xiao Rui pointed to the book and said, "Why don't you take a look?" ”

"Three Character Sutra?" "A thousand-word essay?" "Vocal Enlightenment?"

What kind of book is this? With doubts, Cui Shouzhen flipped through them one by one.

After a while, he suddenly realized that he exclaimed, "Could it be that these are several books of Mongolian learning?" From the hand of Hou Ye? ”

Xiao Rui waved his hand and said: "I did participate in Xiaxia, but the main compiler was not Xia. ”

"Remarkable! These books of Mongolian studies are much superior to the original books of Mongolian studies in our clan. Cui thanked Hou Ye for his generous gift. So saying, he put away a few books and asked them to be sent to the library.

Xiao Rui stretched out his hand to stop, "Master Cui, what if this Mengxue book is promoted to the whole country?" Cheap to the whole country. It's so cheap that everyone in the world can afford to buy and read? ”

What???

Cui Shouzhen was stunned and looked at Xiao Rui in disbelief: "Hou Ye is going to ...... Do you want to emulate the actions of the Confucian sage back then and open up the wisdom of the people to the world? ”

Xiao Rui smiled but did not answer.

Cui Shouzhen bowed and saluted, and said admiringly: "I admire the character and mind of the Hou Ye." But I don't believe you can do it. This has been done by many people throughout the ages, but they have not been able to do it. ”

"If you want everyone to have a book to read, everyone can afford it, unless Hou Ye gives it away for nothing."

"But if it's given away for free, how much financial and material resources are there? The paper, printing, binding, etc., of this book costs more than a penny, right? Even though Hou Ye has a big family and business from all over the world, it is still a drop in the bucket. Can't do it. ”
