The sky is reflected, and the night is dark.

Sikong Mansion.

In the mansion, the lights are bright, and above the lobby, the atmosphere is silent.

"I believe that you all already know about this Jingping study, so let's talk about it, how should we deal with it?" Sikong Yuan Feng, kneeling in the first place, hunting with bright eyes, looking at the important ministers of the court on the left and right sides, the pillars of the family, his voice was a little cold.

He had never felt a deep sense of urgency at such a moment.

The sky is falling.

But there was a hint of powerlessness in him.

Jingping study, an ordinary study, broke the backbone of their family's door valve.

"Incredible!"

The head of a family held a book imprinted with the logo of Jingping's study, and his expression was shocked: "This book is neatly imprinted, and the words are spaced apart, clear and clear, which is better than the copied one!" ”

"Best of all, they have an unlimited supply!" Someone added: "Our books need to be copied, less is less!" ”

"In this way, the prestige of our Shi clan will inevitably plummet!"

Someone gritted his teeth and said, "We can't let this happen!" ”

"I wonder, how the hell do they do it?"

"This should be the method of rubbing, but how can they rub so neatly, I can't figure it out!"

"Maybe they're in control of a Confucian artifact we don't know about!"

"Such a Confucian artifact, if it can't be in our hands, how can we be listed as a Confucian scholar, wouldn't it be ridiculous to the world!"

"No matter what, we must take this Jingping study!"

"Yes, take him at any cost!"

“……”

The pillars of the family spoke one after another.

The books that appeared in Jingping's study brought a huge shock to each of them, this shock was greater than anyone else, they were scholars, and they were the leaders of Shilin with their families, and they could always stand at the top of Shilin, and they could influence the world's scholars, and they could be in charge of the imperial court......

What do they rely on?

Not land.

Not the population.

Not soldiers.

It's not money.

It's about passing on knowledge from generation to generation.

Because the knowledge passed down from generation to generation in their family has created the achievements of the children of each family, and it has also become the foundation for them to establish the scholar clan.

The reason why the scholars are called the scholars is not the prestige of one person, but the reputation accumulated from generation to generation, because they can have people in all dynasties, enter the court, and control the power of the world, all because the knowledge inherited by their families can make their children excellent.

However......

Their foundation is so fragile in front of Jingping Study.

"Actually, I think that's a good thing!" Suddenly, someone said.

"Good thing!"

The crowd didn't quite understand.

"Being able to rub books must be a big news for Shilin, but now it is only in Luoyang City, if we can bring Jingping Study under the Shi clan, their will naturally be ours!"

The head of this family is the Lin family in Guanzhong, which can only be regarded as a second-rate family, but the head of the family, Lin Hong, is the young man of the imperial court, the deputy of Jiuqing, and his status is quite high, he said very proudly: "Presumably they will not refuse our solicitation!" ”

The scholar clan, the direction of the world's scholars, if they are willing to bring the people behind Jingping's study into the ranks of the scholars, there should be few scholars who can bear it.

"Yes!"

"That's a good way!"

"Compared to Jingping's study, he should be a bookseller, in the final analysis, he is just a businessman, if the scholar clan can accept him, this person should be happy!"

A kind of family gate lord people are a little arrogant, which is caused by the high status of the scholars.

"Do you know who the owner of Jingping's study is?" The corners of Yuan Feng's mouth raised slightly with a pale self-deprecation, and asked faintly.

"Who?"

They don't know this very well.

"Mujing!"

Yuan Fengdao: "The son of the Marquis Mansion of Xi'e Township! ”

What he always cared about was Mu Shan, the Nanyang Taishou who held a large army, but he didn't care about Mu Jing, who was personally requisitioned by the Son of Heaven and had a rank of 600 stones.

But it was this printing supervisor that caught him off guard.

I knew that he should have sent someone to monitor this seal supervisor all the time, so that he would not be so passive.

"Is that the Yellow Turban remnant?"

"It's the son of the Marquis Mansion of Xi'e Township who took refuge in the eunuch slave before!"

"How is he?"

Everyone's faces changed color slightly.

Mu Jing is not very famous in the capital, but he can't bear to be against the Shi clan, and he is the Sikong Lord who is now in power, so his name is also a little famous among the Shi clan.

"I'm in trouble!"

"This person would never hand over such precious technology!"

"With the ten permanent servants behind him, how are we good!"

The crowd was a little confused.

"Quiet!"

The second person of the Yuan family, Yuan Kui, spoke, and he said in a deep voice: "We gathered together today to think of a countermeasure, this matter is patronizing the world's scholars, and it has already gained a great influence in Shilin, we can't do it against Jingping Study!" ”

At this time, if you work against Jingping's study, you will be working against the world's scholars, even if they are scholars, they can't bear the result of being spit on by thousands of people.

"Lord Situ, how should we deal with it now?" A Confucian from a family arched his hand and asked.

"I think harmony is precious!"

Yuan Kui said in a deep voice: "Anything can be discussed, I believe that as long as we are willing to pay some benefits, there will always be a way, and I also believe that no one wants to offend our clan!" ”

"Ciyang, do you want to talk to Mu Jing?"

"Brother, this matter has alarmed Shilin, don't force it, if Mu Jing is willing to hand over the seal superintendent, I think the Shi clan can fully support Nanyang!" Yuan Kui said: "I can go and talk to him in person!" ”

"Uncle, why do you have to go in person about this matter!"

Yuan Shu stood up: "It's better to leave this matter to me!" ”

"Okay!"

Yuan Feng thought for a while and said, "Highway, you just go and talk to that Mu Jing and find out his tone!" ”

"No!"

Yuan Shu nodded.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this matter is related to the foundation of our family, not to be underestimated, the most important thing is the seal superintendent, you also have a lot of roots in the capital, see if you can find a way to infiltrate into the seal superintendent, if you can get such a method of rubbing, this will be an opportunity for our scholars to go to the next level, please!"

"No!"

The crowd surrendered their orders.

When the feast dispersed, everyone left, and when they left, they were still discussing in a few words, not only discussing the rubbed books, but also discussing the owners behind these books......

In the main hall, only some court ministers of the Yuan family remained.

"Ciyang, do you think Mu Jing will talk to us?" Yuan Feng asked.

"I'm just trying to appease them!"

Yuan Kui shook his head: "If I don't say that, people's hearts will be scattered today!" ”

"It's gone!"

Yuan Feng smiled bitterly and said, "If you can't win it like this, this scholar family will probably fall apart!" ”

"Mujing Xiaoer, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fulfill my wish!" Yuan Kui looked up to the sky and shouted: "Why did such a method that turned Confucianism upside down fall into his hands!" ”

"yes!"

Yuan Feng was also helpless: "When Lu Zhi and others came forward to protect Mushan, I should have woken up, but unfortunately I didn't care too much, I never thought that this fangju has such a method, presumably because of this, I can say that they can be moved!" ”

"Now in the world, I'm afraid we have to prepare for the worst!"

"What's the worst?" Yuan Feng frowned: "Not yet, maybe the highway can convince Mu Jing and patronize the feat of the world's scholars, if he is alone, we can let him be discredited in Shilin!" ”

"Uncle!"

Yuan Shao, who had been silent beside him, suddenly spoke: "I don't think the highway can convince Mu Jing!" “

After the failure of the attack on Mu Jing before, he became silent in the family.

"Why?"

"Mu Jing, this person, is now the name of the eunuch, how can he care about the reputation of Shilin, and in the past, we attacked and killed this person, we must have left a grudge, he has probably guessed that it was our hands, how can there be no resentment in his heart!"

Yuan Shao took a deep breath before he spoke: "In addition, I am afraid that standing behind Mujing today is not only those eunuchs of the Ten Standing Servants, it should be today's son, but he personally conquered Mujing, I am afraid he has already prepared for this matter, we want to take this rubbing method from the hands of the Son of Heaven, and it is easy to talk about peace!" ”

"That's right!"

"How can we forget the jealousy of the Son of Heaven for us!"

Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui, the three ministers who held the power of the court, had shocked faces at this moment.

Ten permanent servants are not afraid of them.

But the Son of Heaven ......

The Son of Heaven represents the imperial power, which has been the greatest enemy of their scholars for hundreds of years.

"Originally, what do you think we should do?"

Yuan Feng is actually a little jealous of this eldest son, he has already determined Yuan Shu as the heir, so he has always wanted to suppress this eldest son, otherwise there will be infighting in the family in the future, which is something he does not allow.

"Uncle, so far, I won't do anything!"

Yuan Shao's expression burst out with a touch of ruthlessness, and the decisiveness of the killing that would dominate Hebei in the future had been revealed, and he said in a deep voice: "Send troops directly, take down the seal superintendent, destroy the mansion of the Marquis of Xi'e Township, and behead Mujing!" ”

"Troops in the capital?"

Yuan Kui didn't expect this nephew to be so bold.

"Uncle, as long as we can make a quick decision, take down the seal superintendent, behead Mujing, and force Mushan to rebel, then even His Majesty will have no problem with us under internal and external troubles, and there will be generals supporting us, and the art of rubbing will already be in our hands at that time, what can Your Majesty say, he can still kill the scholars in the court!"

Yuan Shaodao.

"The law does not hold the people accountable!"

Yuan Feng, as the official of the dynasty, naturally has the courage of ordinary people who are not in a hurry, he slapped the table fiercely, and said: "What I said at the beginning is right, even if we do this, Your Majesty can't help us, he doesn't dare to do anything to the scholars, which will make his country unstable!" ”

"It's better to wait!" Yuan Kui said.

"Hmm!"

Yuan Feng thought for a while, nodded and said: "Then wait for the road to contact Mujing, but at the beginning, you are also ready, if it doesn't work, then do it, my Yuan clan has never been afraid of anyone for hundreds of years, since they want to dig the foundation of our Yuan clan, we naturally have to work hard!" ”

"No!"

Yuan Shao's eyes burst with a gleam, and he nodded.
