Li Longji really doesn't want to care about it.

Lesson丨Shou'an, but to appease the Yang family, now Yang Yuhuan himself intercedes for Shou'an, so is it necessary to investigate Shou'an's beating of Yang Ji on the street? Originally, according to Li Longji's idea, Shou Angui was a princess, and it was a big deal to beat a courtier

After he left, Yang Yuhuan looked at Shou An with a look of envy in his eyes.

"Thank you, Niangniang." Li Longji was gone, Shou'an's expression was much more lively, and she saluted Yang Yuhuan again.

"There's nothing to thank, I really envy the two of you......" Yang Yuhuan said, and then realized that he had said the wrong thing.

How could she have been willing to marry Li Longji at the beginning, if Li Mao, the king of Shou at that time, could hold on a little, and had the courage of Ye Chang to dare to swing his old fist at the emperor for his lover, things might have been different.

With Yang Yuhuan suppressing it, although Yang Zhao was angry, it was not easy to deliver words to Li Longji. But according to him, he just doesn't make a sound, there are always officials and ministers, whether it is to show off or to please himself, he will impeach Princess Shou'an, and then Princess Shou'an will impeach Ye Changlai.

Not only did he think so, but Li Longji also thought so, as long as someone impeached, he would take advantage of the situation and impose some punishment on Ye Chang.

But to the surprise of the two of them, five days have passed, and Li Longji is about to start his annual winter hunt - going to the Hot Spring Palace for the winter, and no one has mentioned it.

At this time, Li Longji was helpless, and Yang Zhao was a little panicked. If no one really mentions this, won't the upside-down Yang Ji fight in vain?

Those officials who are usually righteous and strict, and some of the imperial historians who are tasked with admonishment, why are they all silent now?

It's not easy for him to inquire about this matter, but naturally someone will come to report it.

"You mean...... Everyone thinks that this is just a trivial matter, a trivial matter of jealousy? Staring at Ji Wen in front of him, Yang Zhao couldn't believe it.

"Exactly, the humble position also tried to persuade several people to jointly play and impeach Ye Chang, but they all laughed it off, saying that this is just a matter of competition between children, it is nothing, the dignified imperial history, the court official, when...

"Shut up" Yang Zhao got up angrily and pushed all the cups in front of him to the ground: "My son was beaten, and the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple in the imperial court was beaten, and it was just a trivial matter......

"Ahem...... Although they didn't say it explicitly, there were rumors in private that Ye Chang even waved his fist at the saint for the sake of the saint's desire to marry......"

Ji Wen's meaning is very clear, Ye Chang even dared to fight the emperor for the twenty-nine noble lords, not to mention the son of your family who had no skills and completely relied on nepotism. Compared with the Son of Heaven who was almost beaten, Yang Ji was beaten up, isn't it a trivial matter? Ye Chang wanted to swing his fist at Li Longji, but Li Longji only locked him up in the prison of Dali Temple for a while, and he was not even demoted, so he let him out again...... This kind of grace is indeed enviable.

"Hmph, don't spread the news about the things in the palace"

Of course, Ye Chang's fist swing at Li Longji was not a secret to Yang Zhao, but Ji Wen also knew about it, and he was a little unhappy in his heart. Indeed, Ye Chang wanted to beat Li Longji, but Li Longji didn't punish him much, and the hidden meaning was really intriguing.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhao couldn't help but sigh.

"Yang Gong, the Son of Heaven favors Ye Chang so much...... Ye Chang can make money and have military power in his hands, which is really not a good thing. ”

"I know, you still need to say this, but what can be done?" Yang Zhao paused, now Ye Chang was completely useless to him, but threatened his position to some extent, and he really wanted to get rid of it in his heart. Originally, because Chen Xilie was here, he still wanted to put this matter aside, but now it seems that it is better to prepare as soon as possible.

"If you have military merits and can make money, if such a person enters Beijing...... Don't look at him now that he is less than thirty years old, when he is old, Yang Gong, how do you deal with yourself? Gynwin said again.

Ye Chang became the prime minister, this is a matter of time, almost everyone thinks so, and even some people have listened to Li Longji's tone, Li Longji is noncommittal, the only news revealed is that he thinks Ye Chang is still young and difficult to obey.

Yang Zhao is not stupid, Ji Wen repeatedly instigated, if there is no plan, how can it be so. He glared at Ji Wen: "Ji Gong, if you have something to say, just say it"

"Ye Chang, this person, can't let him enter the court, with his prestige, even if he is not the prime minister, it is also a big trouble for Yang Gong's henchmen, one of them" Ji Wen stretched out a finger and said.

Yang Zhao nodded, he pulled Ye Chang to Jiannan at the beginning, and later sent him to Anxi, all for this purpose, Ye Chang's influence in the court is too great, and there are too many interest groups around him, he must not be allowed to stay in Chang'an, even Gyeonggi, he must be kept away from the center.

"Ye Chang is now in Liaodong, half of the military power, Jiannan's Gao Shi is his henchman, and he has won the hearts of the people in Anxi, I don't think it will take three or five years, and the soldiers of Anxi will also be all owned by him...... This is also an extremely dangerous thing, Yang Gong can make it clear to the sage, this is not the way to protect the heroes, please dismiss Ye Chang's military power. ”

Yang Zhao also shook.

Ye Chang is still just a rebel, and he has no intention of rebelling, and there are many people who scold Ye Chang for being arrogant and lawless, but no one will suspect Ye Chang of rebellion. At least until now, Ye Chang is still very loyal to Li Longji, no matter what good things are, Li Longji's share is always indispensable.

But not rebelling now does not mean that he will never rebel, especially when Li Longji is getting older and older, if Li Longji has three longs and two shorts, and the troops of Anxi, Jiannan, and Liaodong have Ye Chang's secret order to cause trouble, what will happen?

Thinking of this, Yang Zhao nodded, he couldn't let Ye Chang have more military power.

But he hesitated again: "Don't let Ye Chang be in the center, and don't let him be a side general...... So how to place him? Don't say stupid things about taking him to prison or removing him from his official position, he waved his fist at the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven is not to blame, relying on a few words, how can he be helped? ”

"What Yang Gong said is, so the first two are step by step, and the method of treating the symptoms but not the root cause." Ji Wen smiled softly: "In my humble opinion, next year, let him go back to Anxi for a while to avoid him becoming suspicious, and at the same time facilitate Yang Gong to concentrate on cleaning up Chen Xilie." Then, Yang Gong can throw a bait with him and make him give up his military power. ”

"Bait?"

"Build roads."

"What?"

"Ye Chang has always proposed to the imperial court that it is necessary to repair the rut rail, and in some places, it is necessary to replace the wooden rut rail with the iron rut rail, but the imperial court has always felt that it is not easy to do this...... If two years later, Yang Gong has already been the prime minister, and he has set up a road construction ambassador in the DPRK and China to take charge of the world's tracks, who does Yang Gong think can be the messenger? ”

Givin laughed as he spoke.

The role of the rut rail is now more and more obvious, especially the rut rail and the canal cooperate, so that the price of grain and silk silk in Chang'an City has become very stable, whether it is the summer and autumn when the canal can be navigated, or the canal and the Yellow River are frozen in winter, there are relatively stable materials to be transported to Guanzhong.

In addition, the rutted tracks have also made it possible to move commodities, and what used to take ten horses to pull around is now enough to be pulled around by only two horses, which makes the goods of all places fully operational.

Therefore, now in the imperial court, there are endless calls for repairing rut tracks and canals, but the experience of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty who carried out a big project to destroy the country made everyone a little afraid.

Ye Chang is the most active one of all the people who call for the construction of the rut track in the whole country, and he even put forward a surprisingly bold proposal that the two major chambers of commerce of Anton and Yunnan plus an Anton Bank work together to build the rut track and obtain the right to operate the rut track for 50 years.

"Hmm...... That's a good idea, and when the time comes, as long as he proposes the post of ambassador for road construction, I'm afraid that if we don't need us to install it on him, he will jump out and fight for it."

"Exactly, with Ye Chang's temperament, how can he sit in Chang'an and command, he has to go down all over the world to experience it personally, most of the year, he still stays outside, and now he is driven to the frontier, there will be no difference." Ji Wen said in a low voice: "The matter of building the road is not as ordinary, it involves many interests, and then Yang Gong will secretly make some stumbling blocks for him, and he doesn't even need Yang Gong to come forward himself, without one or two decades, this road can't be built."

"Reasonable, reasonable" Yang Zhao was overjoyed when he heard this.

This is indeed a clever plan, with Ye Chang's temperament, this matter of cultivating the track will definitely involve his vigorous energy. Not only that, but it also costs him a lot of money, and when the road is completed, he can make a profit by charging - canceling his right to operate is not a matter of the imperial court's will

Thinking that Ye Chang would be so angry that he jumped to his feet after the New Year, Yang Zhao felt interesting, but after thinking about it again, he was a little worried.

"As you say, this is a palliative solution, not a cure... Alas, if you want to cure the root cause, you have to spoil Ye Chang's holy grace."

Yang Zhao sighed, this was something that made him very helpless.

Li Longji's reliance on Ye Chang is that the first is that he can make money, and the second is that 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 on the corner of Ji Wen's mouth, he looked at Yang Zhao, but did not speak.

Yang Zhao's heart moved: "Could it be that you also have a plan?" ”

"The lowly position is only good at weaving and arresting, where do you have this ability?" Ji Wen said: "However, the fool has a thousand thoughts, there must be one, Ye Chang is smart and capable, but he likes to show off his cleverness too much." ”

"Oh?"

"Yang Gong should know the cotton mess in the past few years."

The so-called cotton riot is caused by the rural unrest caused by the planting of cotton. Nowadays, the most market-oriented commodity in Datang is cotton, because of the fluctuation of cotton prices, so that the income of farmers who grow cotton is not guaranteed, so they go bankrupt and become homeless. To a certain extent, Ye Chang acquiesced in and even promoted the occurrence of this situation, and then gathered those bankrupt displaced people, either as road construction workers, or moved to Liaodong and Yunnan to enrich the frontier.

Although Ye Chang made amends, it still caused a riot after all, the matter was not big, others did not pay attention, but Yang Zhao noticed.

"What do you mean?"

"Cotton policy is one of the economic policies implemented by Ye Chang, but there is another one, Yang Gongdang knows that the risk is even greater than that of cotton policy. The cotton chaos is just a small people, and they are stubborn and ignorant, so Ye Chang will naturally divide away after a little pulling. The real danger lies in the shares and banks. ”

"Shares...... Banks"

Yang Zhao prides himself on being an expert in financial management, and he has indeed put a lot of effort into studying the two things released by Ye Chang. Shares are the foundation of Ye Chang, and he relied on the shareholding system of the Anton Chamber of Commerce to tie the interests of countless magnates in Chang'an City, and also obtained a lot of benefits in Liaodong and Yunnan.

The bank should be newer, which was proposed by Ye Chang three years ago, and now only in some important commercial cities of Datang there are counters called "Anton Bank". However, Yang Zhao's attention to this is not inferior to that of shares, because the bank not only operates the exchange through flying money, but also quietly carries out the storage and lending business.

"What ...... these two are Handle? After thinking for a while, Yang Zhao asked.

The smile on Ji Wen's face gradually turned cold, but he didn't speak, Yang Zhao understood what he meant, and said very crisply: "The position of Imperial Doctor will soon be vacant, if I can be the prime minister, I will recommend you as Imperial Doctor."

"Ye Chang is very cautious, he is very cautious about the matter of this stock and the bank, and it is this kind of caution that makes people feel strange, could it be that there is any terrible force in this stock and the bank, so that Ye Chang has to be cautious?" Givin said slowly.

Yang Zhao Huo Ran 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 Giwen left. Before Yang Zhao personally sent it to the lobby, looking at Ji Wen's back, Yang Zhao secretly felt a little strange in his heart.

Ji Wen is indeed an expert at fabricating accusations, but he didn't expect that he would be able to see a huge flaw in Ye Chang...... I didn't think he had this kind of ability before.

Ji Wen left the Yang Mansion, but he was not in a hurry to return to his house, his carriage walked around the city for a while, and then arrived at the Qinglong Temple.

The original Qinglong Temple is still full of tourists, but in such a large temple, there is naturally a quiet place. When Giwin arrived, he went straight to a quiet room, where one of them was already waiting for him.

The man lifted his face, and the blue spots on half of his face made his originally handsome face extremely ugly and ridiculous.

"Lu Langjun is here?" Givin said with a smile.

"It seems that Ji Gong's trip is going very well?" Lu Qi also laughed.

The two looked at each other, both with three points of caution and fear.

"I never thought that Lu Langjun would take refuge in that one, but that one was incompatible with Lu Langjun's old master. I never thought that Lu Langjun would think of using Ye Chang as a stepping stone, Ye Chang is the son-in-law of Lu Langjun's old lord, and if it weren't for Ye Chang now, Lu Langjun's old lord would be afraid that even his life would be difficult. Givin said.

"Why did Ji Gong say this, he is only a minister of the Son of Heaven, but he is not someone else's courtier." Lu Qi said slowly: "As for the old master, although he has been running under Li Xiangmen for several years, in terms of investing in Li Xiangmen, Ji Gong is also before Lu. ”

Geven's face twitched, he understood that this war of words was useless.

"When the matter is done, Yang Zhao will act according to the plan if he wants to come." He said in a low voice: "A certain official business is cumbersome, so I will leave here"
