Chapter VIII(1/2)
Wu Meiniang's last sentence is definitely not a casual statement, but a real warning!
Li Zhi had just experienced the deposed king Liwu, and calmed the storm and was about to show his skills, but this family did not fight, and his own guardians started fighting first. This really made Li Zhi very unhappy. If the emperor continued to be so unhappy, there was no doubt that the emperor would definitely not make them happy.
Oppose the emperor?
Then you have to count the heads on your neck first.
In fact, Han Yi also knew in his heart that he did not plan to take advantage of the victory to pursue him. What he originally planned was to take the other party away in one wave and prepare for a sudden stop. The current situation was enough for him, and he got what he wanted. But then again, the reason why he fought back so hard was that Xu Jingzong was forced to do so. He had to protect his family, which was always the most important thing in his heart.
To put it in a scientist's words, the effects of force are mutual. Xu Jingzong suppressed too hard, and Han Yi rebounded so much.
On the other side, Li Zhi also expressed his opinion with Xu Jingzong that if he continues to fight, I will be angry and you should stop at the right time. He originally hoped that both of them could reconcile and assist him together to establish great achievements, but from the current situation, it is impossible to make them reconcile, so he had to use his power to suppress it.
Xu Jingzong also knew that the emperor's patience was almost at its limit, so he didn't dare to clamor anymore, but he was extremely depressed, because if he gave up, then Han Yi would win and he would lose.
But when the emperor spoke, he could only obey the order.
In addition, Li Zhi also planned to temporarily let Xu Jingzong retreat from the Ministry of Rites and hide in Hongwenguan for a while to avoid the limelight. After all, the incident was so fierce outside, but Xu Jingzong was still the Minister of Rites. This was really ironic and too slapped the court in the face. The Minister of Rites said that no matter what, Xu Jingzong could no longer be allowed to go on the spot.
In fact, the Minister of Rites has no power, it just sounds nicer, and he is still a Secretary of State. Xu Jingzong didn't care much, so the key point was that he didn't know where to put his old face.
It can be said that he was defeated in a mess!
What’s even more terrible is that the feces have been spilled out, and it’s difficult to take them back. The people are talking about it, and Xu Jingzong is notorious!
"Brother Xu, it was Yifu who harmed you!"
After hearing that Xu Jingzong was frustrated, Li Yi's mansion immediately came to the door with Wang Dejian. As soon as he saw Xu Jingzong, Li Yi's mansion quickly stepped forward, bowed his body, and said with great emotion.
Xu Jingzong looked at Li Yi Mansion, and his heart was mixed. In fact, this matter had nothing to do with him. He wanted to wade into this muddy water, but his whole body was soaked. Li Yi Mansion was out of the matter, but he was not stupid. The more he was, the more he wanted to win over Li Yi Mansion and let Li Yi Mansion stand firmly on his side. He quickly reached out to help Li Yi Mansion up and said, "Yi Mansion, what's wrong with you? I can't see you, so what's wrong with saying a few words? It's just that Han Yi's child is cunning and erratic, which makes people unable to guard against."
"No! It was Yifu that harmed you. Yifu will be blamed for his death!" Li Yifu said in great pain.
Xu Jingzong patted his hand and sighed, "It's not your fault. On the contrary, I didn't listen to you at the beginning and underestimated Han Yi, which led to the bitter fruit today. The weight of this Han Yi child in His Majesty's heart is indeed extraordinary."
"At the time when His Majesty was in the most difficult time, Han Yi was the first to stand up to support His Majesty and the Queen. This is an unchangeable fact and no one can easily replace it." Li Yifu sighed softly, his eyes flashed slightly, and he asked again: "I wonder what Brother Xu has to do?"
Xu Jingzong shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has made it clear that I and Han Yi are restrained. If there is another time, we may not be able to take care of it. Alas, I am really unwilling to give up."
Li Yifu's eyes were filled with loss when he heard this. Of course, he hoped that Xu Jingzong and Han Yi would fight to the death.
Wang Dejian, who was arched by a big tumor, turned his eyes a few times and said with a smile: "Uncle, Brother Li, in my opinion, this matter has not been settled yet."
Xu Jingzong was stunned and hurriedly said, "How do you say this?"
Wang Dejian laughed and said, "We will lose this time in the Tang Dynasty Daily, so if we want to turn defeat into victory, we have to prescribe the right medicine. As long as we can destroy the Tang Dynasty Daily, Han Yi will not be worried."
Li Yifu frowned and said, "But now Han Yi has printing technology and new paper, we can't stop it at all."
Wang Dejian smiled and said, "Brother Li has forgotten that the reason why Han Yi, the Tang Dynasty Daily, appeared was because of the young Confucius, and the young Confucius was sought after by people because of the support of the four major families of Cui Lu and Zheng Wang. It traced the roots and still lies in these four major families."
Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong looked at each other, as if they had thought of something.
Wang Dejian said, "Uncle, Brother Li, you should have thought of it too. Although Han Yi's article is directed at his uncle, when it comes to buying and selling marriages, the first thing that everyone thinks about is not his uncle, but the four major families of Cui Lu and Zheng Wang. If the four major families oppose Han Yi, he may not be able to do this. We just need to arrange it from it, and then we can sit and watch the snipe and clam fight."
Xu Jingzong was overjoyed and said, "Miscellaneous! Wonderful! Haha, Deqian, your plan is really wonderful."
Wang Dejian is known as a think tank in the court. Although it is ironic, it is definitely not a false reputation!
Some people are worried, so naturally some are happy. The Xiao family is now decorated with lights and is immersed in a joyful atmosphere.
"Master, Master, the son-in-law is here."
From the excited announcement from the servants, we can see that Han Yi's status in the Xiao family has risen.
"It's Han Yi here!"
At this time, there were many people sitting in the hall. When Han Yi came, they were all smiling and extremely enthusiastic. In fact, yesterday they had already cooperated with the Tang Daily to announce the relationship between Han Yi and Xiao Wuyi. Such a good son-in-law must be admitted quickly, so don't let him escape.
"All uncles and uncles are here!"
Han Yi came to the hall and bowed to the elders one by one.
Xiao Shan laughed and said, "Han Yi, no matter what the second uncle said today, he has to praise you hard. If it weren't for you, our Lanling Xiao family would probably be ruined."
Xiao Ju also stroked his beard and smiled, "You not only saved our reputation for the Xiao family in Lanling, but also helped us get angry. It's so satisfying."
Han Yi smiled and said, "Uncle, second uncle, Han Yi really can't take responsibility. This matter was caused by me, so how could I sit still? Moreover, in front of all the uncles and uncles, I said that I would never let Wuyi suffer any grievance. If I turn my back and let Wuyi suffer such a great grievance, then I would be ashamed to meet you all."
"Okay, okay!"
To hear this, the elders nodded with smiles, especially Xiao Rui. He valued Han Yi's own character and the relationship between Han Yi and Xiao Wuyi. This sounds so comfortable!
Han Yi said again: "However, Your Majesty is now preparing to work hard to govern, so this matter may end here."
As soon as these words were said, everyone was stunned at first, a little regretful, but it was not bad. They all had the anger they should have, and this matter could not be stopped for a while. The people had just finished the autumn harvest and were bored while idle, and they would definitely continue for a while. They all smiled and nodded, indicating that you were enough to make the decision.
Xiao Jun smiled and said, "Han Yi, your Tang Dynasty Daily is really wonderful. Even if it is not the case, I have to buy one to read it."
Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Young brother said it very well, it's really interesting. Son-in-law, will you still publish this Tang Daily in the future?"
"Of course, it will. Otherwise, the son-in-law would not have been named Datang Daily,"
Han Yi smiled and said, "Next time we will publish some articles by Zheng Boyu, Cui Wei and others, so that the content of each issue is different."
Xiao Ju and others were slightly surprised when they heard this. These people were really knowledgeable experts. Once their articles were posted on it, this level immediately came up.
"Is that so?" Xiao Rui was happy and said, "That's great. I also like the articles of these seniors very much!"
Han Yi said: "If my father-in-law likes to read it, as soon as a new daily report comes out, the son-in-law will be sent to the mansion."
Xiao Rui nodded with a smile, and his eyes suddenly glanced at him.
Han Yi understood it and immediately promised Xiao Ju and others that he would send it to the mansion directly and not buy it. This family would be sad about their relationship when talking about money.
Xiao Ju suddenly asked: "Han Yi, what are the requirements for writing articles in your Tang Dynasty Daily?"
Han Yi was as clear as a mirror and smiled and said, "I didn't set any conditions, but I will definitely go through some screening, because my Tang Daily is completely aimed at the people, and it is still a little different from the articles in Hongwenguan. First of all, it must be interesting and someone loves reading. This is the most basic. After all, this is a commodity, and customers have to pay for it. Secondly, it is best to benefit the people. In other words, no matter how gorgeous the rhetoric is, it cannot be as good as allowing the people to produce a grain of rice."
Xiao Ju nodded, a little moved, and a little nervous.
Han Yi smiled and said, "Uncle Suwen is very talented and knowledgeable, especially his articles are very well written. If he can write some articles in the Tang Dynasty Daily and support my niece, my niece, I will be very grateful. Oh, uncles and uncles can also write some articles to support you. I can't guarantee anything else. The only thing I can guarantee is that the people in Chang'an will be inseparable from the Tang Dynasty Daily in the future, and I believe it can help you improve your reputation."
The next half of the sentence is the key!
The reason why Xu Jingzong was so miserable was because the Tang Dynasty Daily was so popular that it was taken away in a wave of flowing.
Xiao Ju and others were very fame, so they also wanted to take a ride to improve their reputation. This reputation is particularly important for a gentry, because without fame, it cannot be called a gentry. The reason why the gentry in Shandong is so arrogant is because of their high reputation.
But Xiao Ju was still a little nervous. What Han Yi said just now was not because he was good at, and what he was interested in or farming. His articles were written for those senior officials. They were of certain professionalism and people who were not knowledgeable might not understand them. He laughed and said, "This may not be suitable for me."
Han Yi smiled and said, "As long as it is an article, it will change all the same. Just relying on the uncle's literary talent, what you want to write is absolutely feasible, but you may have to change your thinking a little. If the uncle is really interested, I am willing to talk to the uncle in detail."
Xiao Ju's eyes lit up and he said, "That's a blessing for you."
Han Yi nodded slightly and said, "I dare not, I dare not."
In addition to Xiao Ju, Xiao Shan and others also expressed their willingness to publish their articles in the Tang Dynasty Daily.
Han Yi also agreed one by one. He didn't want to rely entirely on the Shandong gentry. After all, he knew in his heart that he was always separated from the Shandong gentry and common people, and the alliance was very fragile.
The elders were so happy! They gradually discovered that the benefits of marriage with Han Yi brought to them were countless. This miserable marriage was not a marriage, but better than a marriage.
In fact, Han Yi came to Xiao’s house today mainly to tell them that the matter ended here. By the way, he asked them to praise him a few words, and his goal was achieved.
After dealing with these elders, he ran to Xiao Wuyi's boudoir and thought to himself, I let the Xiao family show off, and I also show off in front of her elders. This is undoubtedly what she wants to see. She must be very happy now and admire me very much. When she sees me later, will she take the initiative to kiss me a few times? Maybe she will even fall down. I just hope it is not too intense.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speed up his pace, but when he came to the boudoir, he found that Xiao Wuyi was not in the house. He felt very depressed. A maid passed by in the corridor. He hurriedly asked, "Where is the princess?"
The maid said, "If you are the son-in-law, the princess is now reading a book in the small garden behind."
"Reading a book?"
Han Yi was stunned and thought, this was when she was celebrating her achievements. Is she reading some books? Could it be that she read the spring palace map, and she would make up for it later. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she said, "Hey! Is there something hidden in that garden?"
The maid was stunned and said, "It seems that there is no."
disappointment!
Very disappointed!
"Okay, go and do it!"
Han Yi ran to the garden behind with excitement and disappointment. The Queen without clothes was indeed sitting under the pavilion in the yard reading a book.
He walked over quietly and was about to perform a very bloody prank when he heard Xiao Wuyi's cold voice saying, "You must dare to reach out, I want you to look good."
Han Yi shrank his hands so scared that this was far from what he expected. He was unable to accept it for a while. He almost fainted, pouted, made a face, muttered a few words, then shook his butt and walked forward, and said with a smile: "Wuyi, what book are you reading? You read so poorly, you even know when I come."
Xiao Wuyi couldn't hear the sarcasm in his words. He gave him a angrily and amused look, raised his writing, and said, "Don't you recognize words?"
Han Yi looked at it and said, "Notes from Duke Wei! Wow! Is it about your love life? I am interested in this, so I can lend it to me."
Love life? Xiao Wuyi didn't know that there were such books in the world. He gave Han Yi a fierce look and said, "Don't talk nonsense, this is the military strategy written by my grandfather."
"art of war?"
Han Yi immediately cut his interest in half, and even said that he had no at all. He shook his head and said, "Forget the art of war."
Xiao Wuyi was stunned for a moment and immediately said contemptuously: "You are so ignorant of the pearls. Do you know Hou Junji?"
Han Yi said: "Of course I know that I am a famous general of the Tang Dynasty and a hero of Lingyan Pavilion."
Xiao Wuyi said proudly: "Hou Junji begged me for several years, hoping that my grandfather would teach him this military strategy, and even sued it to my grandfather. My grandfather had not taught him. In fact, I secretly copied it to Wuyue and Liehu."
To be continued...
