waved off the others, Xiao Rui quietly accompanied Cui Shouzhen in a daze in the living room.

After a long time, Cui Shouzhen gradually came back to his senses, and Xiao Rui smiled, "How?" Let everyone in the world have books to read, and even everyone can read, isn't it a lie? ”

Cui Shouzhen didn't answer, but said with a wry smile: "There is a rumor in Chang'an that Lord Hou is not an extraordinary person, but a star in the sky and descends to earth. At first, we didn't believe it, but from now on, whoever says no, Cui is the first to come out and oppose it. ”

Forehead...... It doesn't have to be like this, right?

Xiao Rui quipped: "Master Cui, if you admit that you are an immortal, you can marry your daughter to Cheng Qian, then Xiao Rui will admit it now." ”

Cui Shouzhen glanced at him, meaning: You don't mention marrying a daughter, we are still good friends.

personally poured Xiao Rui a cup of tea and motioned for everyone to sit down and chat.

Cui Shouzhen said with emotion: "I originally thought that Hou Ye's talk on paper was to scare people, but I didn't expect it to be true. It seems that the ideal of Confucius Sage to open up the wisdom of the people will be realized in Datang. Hou Ye's merits are immeasurable. ”

"After the award, since you are here, you naturally want to do something for the people of the world." Xiao Rui said modestly without modesty.

"It's just that there's something down there."

"Master Cui, please speak."

Cui Shouzhen said: "What is the reason why the Hou Ye wants to help the emperor overturn the five surnames and Qiwang to the ground so desperately? ”

"The emperor is to reclaim power and consolidate his own monarchy. But Master Hou, you shouldn't be a simple eagle dog, with your status and ability, you should be a bold person who can do things for the world. Why do you have to get along with the nobles? ”

"Just because, are you the emperor's son-in-law?"

"Cui doesn't believe it, you must be able to see it, even if he vigorously supported the rise of the Hanmen and overthrew our old scholars. Then these newly rising people will slowly become a new generation of scholars, and they are not willing to give up power, and will make the same choice as we do now. Restrain the imperial court and the monarchy, control the power, strengthen the body, and the hereditary transfer of power ......"

"In that case, wouldn't it be pointless for you to do all this?"

After listening quietly, Xiao Rui did not answer in a hurry, but thought for a moment, nodded slowly and said, "Yes, I admit that it is true." But that doesn't mean we don't have the slightest point in doing all this. ”

"Master Cui, no matter what time it is, the class is permanent, and I don't want to overthrow the class, but to recognize and face it."

"And the purpose of all this is not to overthrow the class, but to change the people of each class all the time, so as to prevent the class from solidifying. Once the classes are completely fixed, the people at the top are born at the top, and the people at the bottom will not be able to climb up for the rest of their lives, and there is no hope of turning over, then the country will not be far from destruction. ”

"What does the world want? It's not to eliminate anyone, even if the ordinary people hate the scholar clan, it doesn't prevent them from envying them and wanting to be like us. And there is such a path that can make them a nobleman, a hope that can change the fate of themselves and future generations, which is what this world wants—a limited fairness. ”

"The mediocre and the capable, there are many talents from all walks of life in the world, and they all have the opportunity to display their talents and talents. In this way, the cycle is endless, and the country is moving forward steadily in this constant competition. That's what the emperor wants. ”

"Of course, it is also what I Xiao Rui wants, and I have long wanted to ask for the poor people in the world: We were born to live at the bottom of society, why should we stay at the bottom in this life, in this life, and in this life?"

"Xiao Rui is not the savior of the great good, and he has never thought about making this world absolutely fair, he only hopes that all the people of my Datang Dynasty, those who are unyielding, can take their fate into their own hands. You can live the life you want with your own hands. ”

Cui Shouzhen muttered, "All are created equal...... Everybody is like a dragon? ”

"It turns out that the inscription on the stone tablet at the entrance of the Yushitai is from the hand of the Hou Ye. No wonder, no wonder ......"

Oh?

Xiao Rui hurriedly denied it: "It was His Majesty's handwriting, everyone knows it." ”

Cui Shouzhen said with a smile: "It is true that it is written by His Majesty, but the wording of the inscription is meaningful, and it is definitely not written by His Majesty." I, Qinghe Cui, have dealt with many generations of emperors, including the current emperor, and I dare not say that I fully understand, but I also dare to conclude that he does not have that kind of courage and mind. ”

"Today, I know that Master Hou is a deep hidden merit and fame. I don't want such a reputation comparable to that of a sage, Cui admires! ”

Xiao Rui's old face was flushed, the inscription was not made by himself, and he was also plagiarized from his previous life, how could he be embarrassed to accept it? So he quickly changed the subject.

"Hey, Master Cui, don't always brag about it, but be practical. Xiao Rui has spent so many days with you, and he came with a task, or you can look at me and marry your daughter to Cheng Qian. ”

"Xiao Rui is Chengqian's teacher, and today as a parent, I promise you that I will be happy when I marry in the past, and I will never be wronged in the slightest. Don't look at Cheng Qian as the crown prince, if you dare to treat Ling Ai poorly, I will beat him at any time. ”

Alas...... It's really persistent, and I can't forget to get married.

Cui Shouzhen sighed and said: "In this world, I am afraid that it is the first time for the Hou Ye to condescend to beg for others, and I am honored by the Cui family." Hou Ye interceded for the prince, you do have this face. ”

"That's it, Cui knows that he is not Hou Ye's opponent, and sooner or later this girl will be taken away by you, so he will give Hou Ye a face, and agree to marry the little girl to His Royal Highness the Prince."

What? It's true? Really agreed?

"The head of the Cui family? A gentleman's word? ”

"It's hard to chase a horse!" The two high-fived as an oath.

Xiao Rui was ecstatic, got up and was about to go out to greet Li Chengqian, but was dragged by Cui Shouzhen.

"Wait, Cui still has something to say."

"Okay, if you have the conditions, you can mention it casually, the dowry or something, as long as we can take it, please speak. If there is no library in the palace, I Xiao Rui will find a way to make it up. Xiao Rui patted his chest in response.

Cui Shouzhen waved his hand and said, "It's not those vulgar things. Master Hou needs to promise me two conditions. ”

"Simple, don't say two, it's just ...... Wait, let me give up supporting the poor family. Xiao Rui almost made a wrong promise.

Cui Shouzhen smiled, "No, one yard is one yard, my daughter gave it to the prince, and our business is our business." ”

"First, the daughter is promised to the crown prince, and the emperor is afraid that he will take the opportunity to divide the five surnames and seven hopes. Our Qinghe Cui clan does not want to be ridiculed for clinging to the royal family and bearing the notoriety of a traitor. Therefore, I also asked the Hou Ye to come up with a clever plan, which could protect the reputation of the Qinghe Cui family, not let other families suspect, and not let the emperor take the opportunity to suppress and divide. ”

"If you can do it, you can take it away."

This one......

Xiao Rui rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled, "Speaking of which, I'm not afraid of the Cui family master's jokes, I thought of a bad trick before I came, if you insist on not giving it, I can't help it, I can't lead troops to rob it." But well, I can't watch you give your daughter to someone else. ”

"Then I'll let it out: Cui Ning'er is taken by the prince, if anyone dares to come forward and marry Cui Ning'er, it will be my Xiao Rui's enemy, and I Xiao Rui will kill him!"

"With my Xiao Rui's notoriety, I'm afraid no one will dare to marry your daughter. Sooner or later, you will have to comply. Hehe, seeing the smile, there are really no other tricks. ”

Burst...... Cui Shouzhen wanted to vomit blood, but fortunately he had a good temper, if it was a hot temper, he would drive Xiao Rui's master and apprentice away, I am afraid that this trick would have appeared a long time ago.

"Ahem, it's a little vicious, but it's effective. The wronged Hou Ye defiled himself. Cui Shouzhen arched his hand angrily.

"Ahem, politely, politely, Xiao Rui's reputation has long been stinky, it's okay." Xiao Rui's old face flushed, and he waved his hand awkwardly, "You can talk about the next one." ”
