Li Longji really doesn't want to care anymore. Lesson Ø Shou'an was just to appease the Yang family. Now that Yang Yuhuan himself is interceding for Shou'an, is it necessary to delve into the matter of Shou'an beating Yang Chu in the street? Originally, according to Li Longji's idea, Shou'an was a princess, and beating a minister was no big deal. After he left, Yang Yuhuan looked at Shou'an with envy in his eyes. "Thank you, empress." Li Longji was gone, Shou'an's expression was much more lively, and she saluted Yang Yuhuan again. "No thanks, I really envy you two" Yang Yuhuan said, and then realized that he had said the wrong thing. Why was she willing to marry Li Longji in the first place? If the longevity king Li Hao could have persisted a little more and had the courage of Ye Chang to dare to fight the emperor for his lover, things might have been different. With Yang Yuhuan suppressing him, although Yang Zhao was angry, it was difficult for him to tell Li Longji. But in his opinion, if he kept silent, there would always be officials who, whether for the sake of publicity or to please themselves, would impeach Princess Shou'an, and then Princess Shou'an would involve Ye Chang. Not only did he think so, but Li Longji also thought so. As long as someone impeached him, he would follow the trend and impose some punishment on Ye Chang. But to their surprise, five days after the incident, Li Longji was about to start his annual winter hunt - to spend the winter at the Hot Spring Palace, and no one mentioned it yet. By this time, Li Longji was helpless, while Yang Zhao was a little panicked. If no one really mentioned this matter, wouldn't the unfortunate Yang Chu's beating be in vain? ??????????????????????????????????????????? Why are all the officials who usually speak uprightly and sternly, and the censors who are responsible for admonishment, all shut up now? It¡¯s not easy for him to find out about this matter, but naturally someone will come and tip off the information. "You mean everyone thinks this is just a trivial matter, something to be jealous of?" Yang Zhao stared at Ji Wen in front of him with a look of disbelief. "Exactly, I also tried to persuade several people to jointly submit a memorial to impeach Ye Chang, but they all laughed it off and said that it was just a matter of quarrel between sons and daughters, and it was nothing. A dignified censor and an official in the court should be "Shut up!" Yang Zhao stood up angrily and pushed all the cups in front of him to the ground: "My son was beaten, the young minister of Honglu Temple was beaten, and it was just a trivial matter" "Ahemalthough they He never said it clearly, but there are rumors in private that Ye Chang even shook his fist at the saint because of the saint's proposed marriage" Ji Wen's meaning is very clear. Ye Chang dares to fight even the emperor for the sake of the twenty-nine noble masters, let alone It's your son who has no ability and relies solely on nepotism. Compared with the emperor's almost being beaten, isn't it a trivial matter for Yang Chu to punch him? Ye Chang wants to shake his fist at Li Longji? He was just imprisoned in the Dali Temple prison for a while, and he was released without even being demoted This kind of kindness is indeed enviable. "Don't spread it randomly." Ye Chang's fist blow at Li Longji was certainly not a secret to Yang Zhao, but Ji Wen also knew about it, and he felt a little unhappy. Indeed, if Ye Chang wanted to hit Li Longji, Li Longji would He was not punished very much, and the hidden meaning was really thought-provoking. Thinking of this, Yang Zhao couldn't help but sigh. "Mr. Yang, the emperor favors Ye Chang so much It's not a good thing that Ye Chang can make money and have military power in his hands." ah. " "I know, it's up to you to say it, but what can you do? "Yang Zhao paused. Now Ye Chang is of no use to him. On the contrary, it threatens his position to some extent. He really wants to get rid of him. Originally, because Chen Xilie was here, he wanted to tell this matter He put it aside for a while, but now it seems that it is better to make preparations as soon as possible. "If a person like this has military merit and can make money, if he goes to Beijing Don't look at him now. He is still under thirty. When he reaches his age, Yang Sir, how do you handle yourself? "Ji Wen said again. "It will be a matter of time for Ye Chang to become prime minister. Almost everyone thinks so. Some people even heard about Li Longji. Li Longji was noncommittal. The only information he revealed was that he thought Ye Chang was old. It was too light to obey. Yang Zhao was not stupid. Ji Wen repeatedly provoked him. How could he be like this if he had no plan? He glared at Ji Wen and said, "Ji Gong, if you have anything to say, just say it." "Ye Chang, this person, He cannot be allowed to enter the court. With his reputation, even if he is not the prime minister, he will be a serious problem for Yang Gong. This is one of the reasons." Ji Wen stretched out a finger and said. Yang Zhao nodded. He pulled Ye Chang. He went to Jiannan and was later sent to Anxi for this purpose. Ye Chang's influence in the court was too great, and there were too many interest groups around him. He could not be allowed to stay in Chang'an, not even in the capital. He must be kept away from the center. "Ye Chang is now in Liaodong and has half the military power. Gao Shi in Jiannan is his party member. He has gained support in Anxi. It is expected that in less than three to five years, all the soldiers in Anxi will be there." Allthis is alsoThis is an extremely dangerous matter. Duke Yang can tell the saint clearly about this matter. This is not the way to protect heroes. Please remove Ye Chang from military power. " Yang Zhao was also trembling. "Ye Chang is still just domineering and has no intention of rebellion. Many people in the court have criticized Ye Chang for being domineering, and many people have said that he is arrogant and lawless, but no one will doubt it. Ye Chang rebelled. At least until now, Ye Chang is still very loyal to Li Longji. No matter what good things are, Li Longji will always have his share. But not rebelling now does not mean that he will never rebel, especially as Li Longji gets older. In a more serious situation, if Li Longji has both advantages and disadvantages, and the troops in Anxi, Jiannan, and Liaodong get into trouble due to Ye Chang's secret order, what will happen? Thinking of this, Yang Zhao nodded and couldn't let it go. Ye Chang had more military power, but he hesitated: "If we don't let Ye Chang be in the center, and we don't let him be a side general then how to place him?" Don't say stupid things like putting him in jail or dismissing him from office. He punched the emperor, and the emperor didn't blame him. How could he be defeated by just a few words? " "What Mr. Yang said is true, so the first two are step-by-step methods that treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. Ji Wen smiled softly: "In my humble opinion, I will let him return to Anxi for a while next year to prevent him from becoming suspicious, and at the same time, it will be easier for Mr. Yang to concentrate on dealing with Chen Xilie." Then, Duke Yang can throw a bait to him to make him give up his military power. " "Bait? " "Build roads. " "What? " "Ye Chang has always mentioned to the court that track tracks should be repaired and that in some places, wooden track tracks should be replaced with iron track tracks. However, the court has always felt that this is not easy to do If two years later, Yang The Duke has become the prime minister, and he has set up a road-building envoy and an envoy in the court to control the world's roads. Who can be the envoy for this envoy's post? "Ji Wen laughed as he said it. "The role of track rails is becoming more and more obvious now, especially the combination of track rails and canals, which makes the prices of grain and silk in Chang'an City very stable. Whether the canal is navigable In the summer and autumn, or in the winter when the canals and the Yellow River are frozen, there is a relatively stable supply of supplies to Guanzhong. In addition, the tracks also make it possible to circulate bulk commodities. What used to be carried by 10 camels and horses now. Only two horses are needed to pull it around, which makes the products in various places fully operational. Therefore, there are endless calls to build track tracks and canals in the court, but Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty destroyed the country by carrying out major projects. The lessons learned from the past have made everyone a little afraid. "Ye Chang is the most active one among all those who call for the construction of rail tracks across the country. He even proposed that the two major chambers of commerce in Anton and Yunnan, plus the Anton Bank, would work together to undertake the construction. It is a surprisingly bold proposal to obtain the right to operate the track for 50 years at the same time. "Well this is a good idea. When the time comes, as long as the road construction ambassador is proposed, we will not need to install it for him. , he will jump out and fight for it himself." "Exactly, with Ye Chang's temperament, how could he sit in Chang'an and command? He would have to go all over the world to personally experience it. Most of the year, he still stays outside, and is now being driven out. Going to the frontier won't make any difference. Ji Wen whispered: "The matter of road construction is no ordinary thing. It involves many interests and risks. When the time comes, Duke Yang will give him some obstacles in the dark. He doesn't even need to come forward himself. There will be no one in ten or twenty years." The road cannot be repaired. "It makes sense, it makes sense." Yang Zhao was overjoyed when he heard this. This is indeed a clever plan. With Ye Chang's temperament, this matter of building the track will definitely involve a lot of energy from him. Not only that, it would also cost him a lot of money. When the road is completed, he can charge fees and make a profit - canceling his operating rights is not a matter of the imperial court. Thinking that Ye Chang Zairuo will be so angry in the next year , Yang Zhao found it interesting, but when he thought about it again, he felt a little worried. "As you said, this is a temporary solution, not a permanent solution Alas, to cure the root cause, you have to destroy Ye Chang's holy pet." Yang Zhao sighed, this was something that made him very helpless. Li Longji relies heavily on Ye Chang, firstly because he can make money, and secondly because he can fight. As long as the myth of Ye Chang, the living god of wealth, is not shattered, Ye Chang's holy family will not disappear. A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Ji Wen's mouth. He looked at Yang Zhao but said nothing. Yang Zhao was moved in his heart: "Do you also have a plan?" "I am only good at Luo Zhi, interrogation and arrest. How can I have this ability?" Ji Wen said: "However, a fool must have something after all his considerations. Ye Chang is smart and capable, but He likes to show off his intelligence too much." "Oh?" "Mr. Yang should be aware of the cotton chaos in the past few years." The so-called cotton chaos is the unrest in the countryside caused by cotton planting. Today, the most market-oriented commodity in the Tang Dynasty is cotton. Due to the fluctuation of cotton prices, the income of cotton farmers cannot be guaranteed, so they go bankrupt and become homeless. Ye Chang acquiesced to a certain extent and even promoted the occurrence of this situation, and then put thatThe bankrupt refugees gathered together, either as road construction workers, or moved to Liaodong and Yunnan to enrich the frontiers. Although Ye Chang made amends, it still caused a commotion. The matter was not serious and others did not notice it, but Yang Zhao did. "What do you mean?" "The cotton policy is one of the economic policies promoted by Ye Chang, but there is another one. Yang Gong should know that its risk is greater than the cotton policy. The cotton chaos is just a small people fighting against each other. He is also stubborn and ignorant, so Ye Chang will naturally break away after a little effort. "The real danger lies in the shares and the bank." Yang Zhao is a self-proclaimed financial expert. , and indeed I spent a lot of time researching it. Shares are the foundation of Ye Chang. He relied on the shareholding system of the Andong Chamber of Commerce to tie together the interests of countless dignitaries in Chang'an City, and also gained a large amount of benefits in Liaodong and Yunnan. Banks are somewhat newer. They were proposed by Ye Chang three years ago. Nowadays, banks called "Andong Bank" are only opened in some important commercial cities in Datang. But Yang Zhao attaches no less importance to this than to shares, because this bank not only operates exchanges through flying money, but also quietly carries out storage and lending business. "Is there anyopportunity between these two?" Yang Zhao asked after thinking for a while. The smile on Ji Wen's face gradually turned cold, but he did not speak. Yang Zhao understood what he meant and said very crisply: "The post of imperial censor will soon be vacant. If I can be the prime minister, I will recommend you." "Ye Chang is very cautious about the shares and the bank. It is this kind of caution that makes people wonder, is there something terrible about the shares and the bank?" Does the power force Ye Chang to be cautious? "Ji Wen said slowly. Yang Zhao was shocked and stood up suddenly. The secret discussion between the two lasted for a long time, and it was not until more than an hour later that Ji Wen left. Yang Zhao personally sent him to the lobby and looked at Looking at Ji Wen's back, Yang Zhao felt a little strange in his heart. Ji Wen was indeed an expert at finding out crimes, but he didn't expect that he could actually see a huge flaw in Ye Chang I didn't think he had this ability before. Ji Wen left the Yang Mansion, but was not in a hurry to return home. His carriage wandered around the city for a while, and then arrived at the Qinglong Temple. It was still crowded with tourists, but in such a large temple, there were naturally many people. A quiet place. When Ji Wen arrived, he went straight to a quiet room, where a man had been waiting for him. The man raised his face, and the blue spots on half of his face changed his original handsome face. It¡¯s extremely ugly and ridiculous. ¡°Is Lu Langjun here? "Ji Wen said with a smile. "It seems that Ji Gong's trip went smoothly? "Lu Qi also laughed. The two looked at each other, both wary and wary. "I never thought that Lu Langjun would turn to someone who was at odds with Lu Langjun's old master. I never thought that Lu Langjun would actually think of using Ye Chang as a stepping stone. Ye Chang was the son-in-law of Lu Langjun's old owner, and if it weren't for Ye Chang now, Lu Langjun's old owner would probably be in danger of losing his life. "Ji Wen said. "Why did Mr. Ji say this? He is just a minister of the emperor, but not someone else's minister. Lu Qi said slowly: "As for the old master, although he has been working under Prime Minister Li for several years, when it comes to joining Prime Minister Li's family, Ji Gong is also before Lu." " Ji Wen's face twitched, and he understood that this kind of verbal dispute was useless. " Once the matter is done, Yang Zhao will act according to his plan. "He whispered: "I have a lot of official duties, so I'll take my leave."
