Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

"Come on, bring them down to me."

Lu Yulin was furious: "Take it to the ancestral hall, call the elders of each house, and then deal with it separately."

Even if Lu Yulin wanted to suppress this matter in the newspapers, it would be impossible to suppress it. Only in the ancestral hall, such a shitty matter would be dealt with openly.

"Brother, please don't!"

Knowing what might be waiting for him when he was taken to the ancestral hall, Lu Yuquan was instantly terrified.

The child was lying on the ground and was still crying. Lu Yulin was very upset when he heard this, and shouted angrily: "Don't do it yet!"

Several guards from the Lu family stepped forward and dragged them down, including the child who didn't understand anything.

The hall finally returned to calm, Lu Yulin's eyes fell on the newspaper, his face flushed when he saw what was written on it, and he tore it up.

This kind of scandal has been spread all over Chang'an, where will he save his face in the future?Even everyone in the Lu family was ashamed to appear on the streets of Chang'an again.

"Master, the head of the Cui family is here."

At this time, the butler of the Lu family ran in and said.

"Please!"

Lu Yulin was going to discuss this matter with Cui Mao.

"Brother Lu, something bad happened this time!"

Cui Mao walked in almost running, and he also held a newspaper in his hand.

"Aye!"

"Uncle Cui!"

Cui Rongrong and Lu Xiuran said at the same time.

"So Rongrong is here?"

Cui Mao hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and said eagerly: "A Chang'an Daily is circulated in Chang'an today, Brother Lu, have you read it?"

"Look!"

Cui Mao said angrily, "I will definitely find out the person behind Chang'an Daily and cut him to pieces!"

After all, he clenched his hands into fists, full of anger, unable to erupt.

Even though this scandal spread throughout Chang'an, he had to sigh with emotion, otherwise, he would not have been able to find the pair of dogs and men, and the green above his head would have been brighter.

Lu Yulin's thoughts at the moment are complicated.

"It is rumored that the person behind the newspaper is Li Erlang."

Cui Mao's words shattered his idea of ​​cutting him to death, and continued: "It is Li Junxian who, in the name of the imperial court, gave away newspapers everywhere in Chang'an. The number is definitely not less than [-] copies."

"If I'm not mistaken, Li Erlang deliberately made our scandal public in order to fight back those rumors. I never thought that his method was so terrible."

The spread of Chang'an Daily is wider than the rumors they created. In less than a morning, it basically spread throughout Chang'an, and the rumors about Li Shimin were directly suppressed.

"I've also read the Chang'an Daily. The paper they use is definitely of high quality, and the handwriting is still printed. They must have prepared a lot of engravings for this."

Lu Xiuran beside him analyzed: "In order to fight back against us, Li Erlang probably spent a lot of money and emptied the treasury."

Cui Mao agreed and said: "Xiu Ran is right. How much money can the imperial treasury have to support Li Erlang's spending? In my estimation, this Chang'an Daily can be given away twice at most. As long as we If you can take advantage of this, it is not difficult to fight back."

Lu Yulin's anger gradually dissipated, and said: "Since Li Erlang wants to play this kind of trick with us, we will play with him to the end. We will continue to spread various rumors tomorrow and see how he resists then."

Cui Mao said: "As long as the treasury has no money and the Chang'an Daily cannot be built, we have won. It's just...how did they know so much about the content printed in the Chang'an Daily?"

Thinking of this, they felt chills down their spines, as if they were being stared at from behind.

In their big families, it is normal to have some dark secrets, but it is another matter to be exposed.

"Brother Lu, you can settle your family's affairs by yourself, but there may be some troubles when we bullied the farmers before." Cui Mao said with a frown.

"It's not too much trouble."

Lu Yulin said disapprovingly: "Li Erlang has no evidence, so nothing will happen. Even if he really wants to arrest people, just find a few people to take the blame."

It's not the first time they have used these methods, and they are very handy.

"Aye, uncle!"

At this time, Lu Xiuran said again: "I also have a way to downplay the bad influence of Chang'an Daily on us."

"Xiu Ran, tell me!"

Cui Mao said quickly.

"Uncle should know that I like to write some short stories on weekdays, just like those strange stories in the Wei and Jin Dynasties."

Mentioning this seemed to be Lu Xiuran's pride, and he smiled triumphantly: "The content I write is different from Zhiguai. There are talented scholars and beautiful women, as well as gods and ghosts. Since the imperial court can print Chang'an Daily to resist us, it can also print Some stories come to dilute the influence of Chang'an Daily on Chang'an scholars, so that scholars will no longer read the content that smears us."

Cui Mao's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "I almost forgot that Xiu Ran is still a great talent."

A smile finally appeared on Lu Yulin's face: "This kid, Xiuran, is familiar with all kinds of famous classics, and also likes to write books and poems, and the articles are well written. I think it is feasible to use stories to dilute the influence of Chang'an Daily." .”

With their approval, Lu Xiuran felt even more proud.

He could even imagine what kind of sensation his storybooks would cause when they were sold in Chang'an in a few days.

When Cui Rongrong heard that her father was so sure of her future husband-in-law, she felt sweet in her heart.

"I immediately recruited everyone from the Lu family to make engravings and print a large number of books within a few days." Lu Yulin said decisively.

"I'll go back and order the people below to help Brother Lu." Cui Mao said solemnly.

The strength of their two families is not weak. Once the plan is finalized, they can get things done by spending money.

at the same time.

Inside the nectar.

"Okay, great, haha..."

Li Shimin laughed happily when he heard the news that Li Junxian had just brought back.

"Sir, this newspaper has revolutionized the way of news dissemination after the Tang Dynasty!"

Du Ruhui picked up a newspaper brought back by Li Junxian, carefully read it over and over again, and continued: "Unexpectedly, this kind of high-quality paper costs less than a penny at Mr. It can benefit many readers."

Du Ruhui is more aware of the political role of this kind of paper than anyone else.

"That's right!"

Fang Xuanling agreed: "Mister's methods are endless, and I am beyond our reach."

"Your Majesty, we should pay attention, the Cui family and the Lu family must have other actions, and they will definitely not stop there."

Changsun Wuji reminded: "If I guess correctly, they will have a new plan soon."

"Your Majesty, General Youwei is seeking an audience outside the hall."

Before Li Shimin could respond, a wrestler came in and said respectfully.

"It's Sichang, please hurry up!"

Li Shimin said quickly.
