If You Can't Beat Him, Join Him and Take the King of Shu as Your Master! (, tickets)
Du Ruhui really didn't dare to imagine that in the future, the millions of people in Guanzhong would all be literate. Understanding scientific knowledge would be as natural as speaking.
Then how would the aristocratic families carry out the policy of obscuring the people and how would they continue to ensure the prosperity of the aristocratic families?
No, not to mention prosperity, it was already an extravagant hope to continue living.
"Father, are you alright?"
Du Gou asked worriedly.
"I'm fine."
Du Ruhui shook his head and took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
"Do you know how many books have been given out?”
Du Gou was stunned. He calculated in his heart and replied.
"I don't know the exact number, but I saw so many cars leaving the city to deliver books today. At least tens of thousands of books can be delivered today.”
"Of course, this is only my son's estimation.”
"It is said that the car invented by the King of Shu can travel thousands of miles in a day without the use of cattle and horses.”
Du Ruhui nodded.
"In that case, in less than half a month, this book will be popularized in Guanzhong. It will be impossible for the aristocratic families to stop it.”
Du Gou said indignantly.
"Father, it can't be."
"Let's not talk about the Du family of the capital. Just the five stars and seven stars, the seven top aristocratic families, can't they stop the King of Shu?”
"Pressuring them on the surface won't work. They can also find a group of killers to deal with the King of Shu. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, they did something like this.”
The terrifying thing about aristocratic families was that they had no bottom line and were extreme in their methods. For the sake of benefits, they could sacrifice everything and destroy everything.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the various factions rebelled against the king, which of them did not have aristocratic families involved in the logistics?
In the end, it was all about benefits.
Only when the world was in chaos and the people were in dire straits would they have the opportunity to annex the land and suck the lives of the people.
Now that Li Ke had created the Encyclopedia, this was a vicious move to destroy the foundation of the aristocratic families. Du Gou did not believe that the aristocratic families would let this go and obediently wait for death.
"Hehe, do you think it's still the end of the Sui Dynasty?”
Du Ruhui sneered.
"Although His Majesty has yet to grasp the power of the Great Tang and is in a situation where he is divided from the great clans, he is still in a state of power.”
"But His Majesty's methods are still very terrifying.”
"The aristocratic families will definitely not dare to openly fall out with His Majesty. At that time, the ones who will suffer will be themselves.”
"His Majesty wants to promote science. Kong Yingda has already died on the aristocratic families 'side. Without a thousand-year-old aristocratic family like the Kong family, the aristocratic families won't act rashly. Even if they try to stop him, they'll secretly cause trouble.”
" As for the assassination you mentioned…"
"Do you really think that Landscape Sect is just a legend?”
Du Gou's body went cold. He remembered Li Shiming's mysterious organization, Landscape Sect, which was the top force in the assassination world.
According to his father Du Ruhui, the reason why the Emperor was able to successfully seize the throne with only 800 personal guards, kill Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and enter the inner palace to control Li Yuan was all because of Scenery Sect.
Assassination?
He was afraid that he would be played to death by Li Shiming.
"Then are we going to watch the King of Shu grow and His Majesty take back his power?”
Du Gou asked unwillingly.
"Then what will happen to our families?”
Du Ruhui looked at Du Gou and smiled.
"I'm very happy that you can think of this.”
"But…"
Du Ruhui's expression changed and he sneered.
"What does the aristocratic families have to do with us?”
Du Gou was stunned and was at a loss again. He couldn't keep up with his father's thoughts.
"Father, aren't we also from aristocratic families?”
Du Gou asked.
"Yes, but so what?"
Du Ruhui sneered.
"We come from the Du Clan of the capital city, but we have given them enough in return over the years.”
"We're not the main family, nor are we the Du family's patriarch. Their lives and deaths have nothing to do with this old man.”
"If it was in the past, when their forces were strong and their situation was good, it would be fine to help them in exchange for some benefits.”
"But now, it seems that the King of Shu must promote science, and it is inevitable for the court to concentrate its power. I even dare to guess that the King of Shu's prestige is growing day by day, and what he owes is only military affairs.”
"With enough military strength, we might be able to change the Black Tortoise Sect again and change the dynasty.”
Du Gou was dumbfounded. His father was still ruthless.
He was still young. He had thought that his father was either loyal to the Emperor or to his own interests. But now, it seemed that his father was only loyal to his own interests.
The so-called loyalty was just that the chips given for betrayal were not enough.
If the current King of Shu could offer a good price, then he would take a gamble.
"Father, what should we do next?”
Du Gou felt that his brain was completely insufficient and asked.
"Prepare a generous gift tomorrow. I will personally bring you into the palace to worship the King of Shu as my master. In the future, you must learn from the King of Shu and assist him faithfully. Perhaps…"
Du Ruhui smiled.
"Perhaps the fate of my Du family in the next hundred years will depend on you.”
……
The next day, after the morning court session, Du Ruhui brought Du Gou to the rear palace, Concubine Yang's bedchamber, to find Li Ke to be his disciple. However, he found that Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Ji, Yuchi Gong, and the others had also brought a son to find Li Ke.
Everyone smiled and greeted each other. No one pointed it out, but they all understood that they all had the same thoughts.
Since he couldn't beat Li Ke, he would join him.
Not long after, the chamberlain invited them in. Once they entered, they saw Li Ke lying lazily on the soft couch. He had the temperament of a master, making people not dare to underestimate him.
"I know what you are thinking.”
Li Ke did not wait for everyone to speak and directly spoke first.
"Take me as your master."
Zhangsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and the others were stunned. The King of Shu was too straightforward.
"What's wrong?"
Li Ke said with a smile.
"We're all smart people. What's the point of doing some unnecessary formalities?”
"Anyway, everyone is taking what they need. Let's not waste time.”
Zhangsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, and the other dukes fell silent.
They found that they could never keep up with Li Ke's thoughts and had always acted under his guidance.
Although they were unwilling, there was no need for them to pretend to be ignorant.
Then, they all offered six gifts, allowing their sons to officially become Li Ke's disciples and become the direct descendants of science, bound to Li Ke's big ship.
At the same time, the news of Landscape Sect had been delivered to Li Shiming. Li Shiming's expression was ugly, but he quickly returned to normal.
"King of Shu, my good son, you and your father are not of the same heart.”
