The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty
Chapter 648 Border Conflict
Chapter 648 Border Conflict
The discussion of several people quickly attracted the attention of others. At first, these people wanted to make those people quiet, but after hearing the topics they discussed, they all curiously turned over the books in their hands, and then , the whole library is in chaos.
"My God, my copy of "The Analects of Confucius" is only five cents. This, how is this possible!"
"What's the matter? My "Thousand Characters" is only two pennies."
"My luck is bad, "Shuowen Jiezi" actually costs [-] Chinese characters!"
"Four hundred words is already the price of conscience. Go out and have a look at the "Shuowen Jiezi" outside. I want as many as there are less than fifteen."
This person is right. The entire book of "Shuowen Jiezi" originally contained more than 1 characters. With the continuous expansion of these years, the number of words has increased to nearly [-]. The explanations and explanations are bound to almost a foot high, and the price of four hundred texts is really not expensive.
The person who started talking did not refute after listening to the complaints from the people around him, but just smiled embarrassingly, and at the same time explained: "It is indeed my fault, the price of [-] Wen is indeed the price of conscience, it is just compared with other books. It's more obvious."
The guy who wanted as much as he wanted smiled and said, "Hey, you just know."
"Okay, I won't tell you anymore. Since the books here are so cheap, I'm embarrassed to read them here for nothing. Why don't I buy a few and take them home to read."
"Yes, yes, we have to hurry up, or we won't be able to buy it in a while."
The two muttered to each other, and soon realized that such an argument was meaningless. If you have the time, you might as well go buy the book quickly, or wait a while and God knows if it is still in stock.
In this way, within a few days after its opening, the Wangfu Library became famous again in Chang'an. The ultra-low price attracted all the readers who couldn't afford books because the price of the book was too expensive, and almost broke the door of the library.
On the other side, the big aristocratic families and noble families are gloomy.
Li Muyun's trump card hit them too hard. Seeing that his library has gathered the hearts of a large number of scholars in a short period of time, there is no solution.
In terms of power, with the backing of the Supreme Emperor and the support of the emperor, it is impossible to use official power to suppress it; and the use of underground forces violates the glorious image that the family has always left in the eyes of the world.
Besides Li Muyun's naughty character, using the underground forces will only make him crazier, so if it's not absolutely necessary, no one wants to break the rules and fight to the death with a lunatic.
There were also some people from aristocratic families who proposed to compare their financial resources, paying for the books of the Wangfu Library, and receiving as much as they paid, but this bad idea was quickly rejected.
Anyone in Chang'an City knows that King Xiaoyao has always been in a loss-making business. Although the price of the book is set very cheap, it is obvious that he is still making a profit, and accepting his book will only fulfill him.
Some people suggested that everyone should lower the price together and fight a price war, but this idea seems to be worse than the one who collected books. You must know that the inheritance of knowledge is the foundation of a family. If the price is lowered to the same as Li Muyun, or even lower than him, Wouldn't that be self-destruction of the city wall, and in the end it would only be cheaper for those poor people.
It has to be said that Li Muyun's move was too ruthless this time, completely catching several big families by surprise.
After they heard about the movable seal printing at the beginning, they realized that something was wrong, so they jointly recommended the two heads of the Zheng family and the Lu family to discuss the big plan with Li Muyun.
But what I didn't expect was that Li Muyun, who had been ignored by the aristocratic family, didn't buy Zheng Shanguo and Lu Zushang's account, and not only didn't buy it, but even slapped them loudly.
The result of the negotiation in Juxian Pavilion surprised everyone. No one thought that the reputation of the family could not suppress Li Muyun, a related household. By the time they realized that the related household was a second-best, they were already riding a tiger. It is no longer possible to think of another way to build a relationship with him.
Besides, the patriarchs of the Zheng and Lu families have suffered such a big 'grievance' from Li Muyun, and they have already regarded him as a thorn in the side, a thorn in the flesh, and there is no reason for the relationship between the two parties to ease. Abandon pulling cages and change to targeted countermeasures.
However, Li Muyun's actions once again exceeded all of their estimates. This guy actually came to the bottom of the pot and hit their 'weak spot' with a heavy punch, leaving them no chance to strike first. .
And just when Li Muyun was about to beat the old master to death, the news from Jiannan Road made the family see a turning point. Immediately, the impeachment of Li Muyun almost filled Li Shimin's table, and even the impeachment of his intention to rebel In one day, the eunuch Lao Long personally commanded and burned three carts.
And Xiaoyao County King, who was enjoying his life, was also called into the palace by His Majesty Li Er, and stood on the main hall of the early dynasty.
"Brother Huang, why did you call me so early in the morning?" Li Muyun came to the main hall as if he hadn't woken up, and asked in a daze after seeing the ceremony, and then, When Li Shimin spoke, someone jumped out from below, pointed at his nose and shouted: "Bold and Happy King, are you guilty?!"
"What kind of conviction? Sleeping is also breaking the law?" Li Muyun looked at the people who came out, and said disdainfully, a small fourth-rank censor was not in his eyes.
"King Xiaoyao, don't bother talking about him. The last time His Majesty sent you to quell the chaos in Jiannan Road, you released the leader of the thief privately. Afterwards, you tricked the Holy One and escaped. Now that king is rebelling again. What else do you have to say?"
"That's right, you're clearly an accomplice to that traitor, now that things have been revealed, what else do you have to say?"
"Li Muyun, quickly confess your crimes. Perhaps His Majesty will spare you for your good behavior and give you the whole body. If you continue to be stubborn, you will be punished by the lingering punishment."
Following Li Muyun's retort, an unknown number of people flooded out of the hall, all of them spitting, as if they wanted to drown him in the hall with their saliva.
Li Muyun coldly glanced at those people who came out, without changing expression or beating heart, with the aura of frowning and pointing coldly, he took a moment to snort and said: "What the hell, whoever rebelled, who made it On the contrary, did you kill your father or rob your woman, come on, someone tell me."
Seeing that Li Muyun had opened his mouth, Zheng Shanguo strode out, the others all silenced, and only his voice said in the quiet hall: "Li Muyun, don't be arrogant, don't think that being the adopted son of the Supreme Emperor can do whatever you want , It is necessary to know that the prince who breaks the law is also guilty of the same crime as the common people."
Li Muyun obviously didn't have a good attitude towards Zheng Shanguo, so he curled his lips indifferently and said, "Hey, isn't this the owner of the Zheng family? I can't tell, you are not only good at threatening people, but also seem to have the ability to hold others' shit. It's more than the ability to threaten people."
Zheng Shanguo's old face turned red immediately, as the saying goes, you don't slap someone in the face, and you don't expose your faults when you swear. It was a 'crack', but this time he was brought up in public, seeing the unconcealable playful eyes of the people around him, the old man almost became congested with anger.
After a long silence, the old man finally said out of breath: "Li Muyun, right now Mengshelong of Jiannan Road is rebelling again, what explanation do you have?"
"Explain? Explain what?" Li Muyun asked with a face full of shame: "He's not my son, how the hell do I know what he has done!"
"King Xiaoyao, last time you recommended Meng Shelong to send troops to Lin Yi, how do you explain this matter?" Fang Xuanling really couldn't stand their nonsense, and was afraid that Li Muyun would say something inappropriate again, so he reminded him He said a word.
Speaking of Linyi, Li Muyun was stunned for a moment, but soon remembered that he had told Meng Shelong to have a chance to visit Linyi when he left Jiannan Road, and it would be best if he could see that kind of The rice seeds that can be replanted three times a year are brought back.
Originally, Li Muyun thought that that guy had already done this, but he didn't expect that it took more than half a year, and the weather had already started to cool down before he started to act.
Seeing that Li Muyun was silent, Zheng Shanguo thought that he was trying to get away, and said with a sneer, "Li Muyun, explain why Meng Shelong rebelled."
Although Li Muyun didn't admire Lao Fang, but he was a celebrity around Li Er, so he didn't dare to offend him.
But he didn't have such a good temper for Zheng Shanguo who didn't have a good impression of him. He rolled his eyes and said to him: "Old man Zheng, did you hear Mr. Fang clearly? Mengshelong just sent troops to Linyi. What's the big deal, isn't it just a simple border conflict, and it's also involved in the rebellion, your head was clamped by the Shuntianmen or something?"
"You..." Zheng Shanguo didn't expect that things could be explained in this way. In his opinion, sending troops without permission is a serious crime and rebellion.
Li Shimin sat on the top and looked coldly at Li Muyun fighting alone. At this time, he felt that it was almost time, he cleared his throat and said, "Li Muyun, since you said it was a simple border conflict, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Li Muyun turned around, completely devoid of anger, and said to Li Er respectfully: "Brother Huang, I have met that brother Mengshelong a few times. He has a straight temper and has never read a book. He doesn't even know his own name." I don’t know how to write, but this time the Linyi people probably provoked him, that’s why this kind of thing happened. So according to what I saw, I might as well reprimand him according to the order.”
"Raise troops without authorization to invade neighboring countries, and only reprimand them?" Li Er glared at Li Muyun.
"Then, how about some more salary?" Li Muyun asked tentatively, but soon he seemed to think of something, and suddenly said to Li Er: "Oh, by the way, don't forget to instruct the emperor when you order to reprimand him." Boy, bring back some rice seeds from Linyi country, I heard people say that the rice in Linyi country can grow three seasons a year, just like the weeds on our side... "
Before Li Muyun finished speaking, Li Er stood up suddenly, hissed with red eyes: "What did you say?! Do you dare to say it again?!"
