Chapter 1025 Who leaked the secret?

The library is not necessarily kept confidential, but because of the fire in the book printing house before, Li Xiu and Li Shimin were very wary of the aristocratic family. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble and catch the aristocratic family off guard, the news about the library was blocked, and only a few core figures in the court knew.

But what Li Xiu did not expect was that Cui Gan actually knew about the library, which made him feel alert, because it means that among the few people who knew the library news, some secretly colluded with the aristocratic family, which was not a good thing for Li Xiu, especially in the future, he and Li Shimin will suppress the aristocratic family with all their might. Then there is such a person around him, and I am afraid that Li Shimin will not sleep well.

"Mr. Concubine, I ask you again, are you really going to do the right thing with our aristocratic families?" Cui Gan said in the end, but in the end, he was really afraid of Li Xiu. Even though all the great aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty stood behind him, Cui Gan was not sure about Li Xiu, who was unable to see through and often came up with some wild solutions, so even at this time, he was still unwilling to be enemies with Li Xiu.

"It's ridiculous. In order to promote the education of the saints, I created the printing technology, hoping that everyone in the world can afford books. However, for their own selfishness, you aristocratic families not only set fire to the printing company, but also sent someone to assassinate me. Who is going to be against whom now?" Li Xiu laughed to the sky, and then questioned Cui Gan with a sad and angry look on his face.

Li Xiu has learned about the skills of these aristocratic families. On the surface, these people all wrote moral articles, but in fact they were full of thieves and prostitutes. As long as they violated their interests, these people would immediately look like crazy. As long as they could protect their own interests, they could do everything in these aristocratic families.

"The Tao is different and does not make plans. It seems that it is still what the prince consort gave me before." Facing Li Xiu's accusations, Cui Gan not only was not angry, but instead sighed. This was his last attempt to reconcile with Li Xiu, but now it seems that he still failed. After all, the two sides have different positions and cannot say that they will go together.

"The promotion of printing technology is the general trend. In the future, more and more people will be exposed to books, rather than the spread of knowledge by you aristocratic families. If you can wake up now, stop doing the mantis arm and chariot, and hand over the last time the people who set fire and assassinate, perhaps Your Majesty will let you go!" Li Xiu said again without showing any weakness at this time.

The trend of history is unstoppable. Even if the powerful force goes against the trend, it will only be crushed to pieces in the end. There are too many examples in history. The aristocratic families are the most typical representatives. Even without Li Xiu's intervention, the aristocratic families will only have more than a hundred years of glory. Finally, when the Huang Chao Uprising, most of the aristocratic families were cleaned up. Since then, there have been no real aristocratic families on the Central Plains.

"Haha, let's do as you say to your son-in-law. It would be better to kill everyone in our aristocratic family directly. It seems that we can only rely on our own abilities in the future to see who can laugh to the end!" When Cui Gan said the last, he no longer wasted his words and turned around and left here.

Looking at Cui Gan's departure, Li Xiu also sneered. Cui Gan was the longest-looking person among the aristocratic families, so he came to him repeatedly because he knew that he had a greater threat to the aristocratic family than Li Shimin. Unfortunately, he didn't know that even without him, he could not get rid of the fate of the aristocratic family.

The next morning, Li Xiu came to the palace and reported to Li Shimin what Cui Gan came to find him yesterday. He mainly used this matter to remind Li Shimin that among the core figures in the court, some people revealed the news about the library to the aristocratic family. Although this is not certain that someone colluded with the aristocratic family, they had to be careful.

Li Shimin also attached great importance to this news. After hearing this, he frowned and pondered for a long time. Finally, he raised his head and said, "Li Xiu, who do you think will reveal this news to the aristocratic family?"

"This..." Li Xiu couldn't help but hesitate for a moment when he heard this. After all, this question was difficult to answer. Finally, he raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, who else knows about this matter except you and me, and Brother Changsun?"

"There are only a few people who know about it, namely Fang Xiang and Du Xiang and others, but they are all my ministers. Even if some of them are from aristocratic families, they are all on my side. So I believe they will never leak the information from the library!" Li Shimin replied after pondering for a moment.

"That's strange. Fang Xiang and his friends have followed His Majesty for many years. I believe they will never leak the news from the court without authorization. But if it weren't for them, then who would know about the library?" Li Xiu couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He had been thinking about this matter since he went back yesterday, but after thinking about it, he couldn't figure out how the news leaked?

"In addition to Fang Xiang and others, only the printing house and the craftsmen who built the library can come into contact with some of this matter. Although they don't know much, if they are asked by someone who is interested, they may also analyze some things." Li Shimin said again at this time that the printing house needs to print books used in the library, and the books will be marked with the words library, etc., and the craftsmen who built the library also need to understand the functions of the rooms inside the building, so it is possible that these people can guess the purpose of the library from it.

"What Your Majesty said makes sense. Of course, it may be that someone who is familiar with the matter accidentally leaked the news, but I think we should be more careful so that the same thing will happen again in the future." Li Xiu nodded first, and then suggested again.

Although Li Xiu's last sentence was very tactful, he was actually reminding Li Shimin that he could not completely eliminate doubts about those insiders. After all, knowing people but not their hearts, no one could be sure whether anyone among these people had betrayed Li Shimin.

Although Li Xiu's words were a bit unpleasant, Li Shimin nodded in agreement. After all, he has been an emperor for so many years and has no idea about human nature. Therefore, Li Xiu's suggestions are very reasonable, and if necessary, he also hopes that the other party can find it out sooner.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, another Spring Festival passed, and Empress Changsun’s funeral was finally about to begin.
