Chapter 15: The True Face of a Friend
If the emperor doesn't want the small environment in the court to be peaceful, the big environment of the Tang Dynasty officialdom will not be peaceful.
Many times, Yun Chu felt that there was no need to make things so big, but the emperor just made a lot of noise.
It seems that this is not enough to demonstrate the majesty of imperial power.
In the early years of the Han Dynasty, when Emperor Wenjing was the second emperor, there was a period of inaction, the so-called inaction rule, that is, the government rarely interfered in the lives of the people except for collecting taxes, as a result, the grain in the official warehouse was moldy, and the rope of the copper coins in the treasury was rotten.
Regarding this description of Wenjing Zhizhi, Yun Chu always felt that there was a problem, but unfortunately, the time was too long, and he couldn't distinguish the authenticity now, but in the period of Emperor Wu, the reason why he had the strength to form such a strong army showed that there was really no shortage of money in his treasury.
However, power is very competitive, and if the government gives up its own power, it will inevitably be replaced by the rest of the power.
Therefore, Yun Chu thought that the root cause of the rebellion of the various vassal kings in the early Han Dynasty probably came from this inaction.
So whether it is better to interfere with rights or to cure by inaction, Yun Chu, a person whose historical outlook is longer than that of everyone in the Tang Dynasty, cannot come to a good conclusion.
Li Zhi's hands are really cheap - as long as he sees something he is interested in, he has to figure it out, whether it is the bamboo of Jinchangfang or the body of the niece of the queen's sisters.
He was just interested in touching it, and found that it was just like that, and he couldn't talk about feelings or anything.
Wu Mei estimated that it was because she discovered the emperor's character that she behaved so indifferently and let the emperor behave indifferently......
Therefore, since the emperor has extended his claws to the Western Regions, Yun Chu believes that in the place where he can't see, the queen's claws may also be quietly stirring in the big water tank of the Western Regions to catch fish.
Until now, he had not found out where the queen's claws were, but he firmly believed that the queen's hands must be in the vat of the Western Regions.
So, after Pei Xingjian received the order to relocate to Qiuci from Anxi Duhu, he didn't feel strange, and set off for Qiuci after ten days.
Leave a Jiaohe city to be handed over to the new Jiaohe Governor's Office.
The newly appointed governor of Jiaohe Prefecture heard that his surname was Liu, but no one knew who it was, only that it was recommended by Li Yifu.
In this way, it is obvious that the emperor wants Gaochang City, and the queen takes Jiaohe City, this behavior is like the emperor playing chess with the queen, one is in Jiaohe City, and the other is in Gaochangsai, and the interests are evenly touched, and it is not clear whether the winner is lost.
The emperor actually has a lot of rules when playing chess, Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian, the two chess pieces guarding Anxi and Beiting, plus Yun Chu, the chess pieces running around, echo, he has already won the first move on the chessboard in the Western Regions.
Chess pieces generally don't know that they are chess pieces, always think that they are the ones who can control their fate, and are proud of their achievements.
Yun Chu is a smart person, so he knows that he is a chess piece, so it is not easy to make mistakes.
During the three days that Yun Chu stayed in Jiaohe City, the guys of the caravan were very busy, and they were trying to re-divide and package the goods for retail.
It would be a great loss to have so many good goods to be used for wholesale, and by omitting the greedy middlemen, the profits of the Tang caravan could be maximized.
As for the fact that wholesale goods can reduce wasted time and speed up the transaction process, Yun Chu doesn't care, he has a lot of time to waste now.
After entering Jiaohe City.
The supply of the caravan was guaranteed, and there was no need to carry a large amount of grain and grass, so in order to let all the camels carry the goods, the caravan bought all the goods that could be bought in Jiaohe City.
This person is very greedy, and he not only buys the goods, but also the craftsmen of other people.
The main reason for this is that the craftsmen here are really cheap.
A craftsman who can casually turn a piece of silver into a fine silver platter is worth five sand thieves.
One
A craftsman who can turn copper pieces into gilded copper pots and carve three-dimensional patterns can be taken away by only four sand thieves.
It only takes three sand thieves for a craftsman who can peel lambskins off and make them into soft, beautiful sheepskin hats.
On top of that, Gentle has also got more than a dozen artisans who can make Sanle liquor, and they are also very cheap.
Therefore, when Yun Chu and Wen Rou left Jiaohe City with the caravan, the most valuable people in this city were basically looted by them.
Pei Xingjian pretended not to see Yun Chu's behavior, but in fact, he didn't have time to look at it.
He was busy moving the Anxi Protectorate to Qiuzi.
When the governor surnamed Liu takes control of Jiaohe City, he will definitely be disappointed, the legendary rich Jiaohe City is not as rich as they expected, and even a little poor.
After Yun Chu arrived in Gaochangsai.
found that there was a big banner hanging on the head of the city, and I knew that the supreme governor here had become Zhang Donghai.
The whole Gaochang Seri was cloudy, not to mention the few pedestrians on the road, and occasionally a few people saw Yunchu's caravan, and they were like frightened donkeys, and they disappeared in an instant.
Gently lifted his hood and said to Yun Chu, "That's right, if the dignified hundred riders don't even have the ability to clean the street tiger, they will be blind to the name of the hundred riders."
When the caravan came to the vicinity of the Thorn Mansion, they found that there were a lot of human heads hanging on the wooden poles on both sides of the road, because it was winter, these heads were well protected by ice and snow, not rotten and deformed, one by one, lifelike, but a little blackened.
Yun Chu deliberately looked at them one by one, and did not find Fangzheng's fat head, so he had a better impression of Zhang Donghai. 100\./degree\./search\./so\.7\./4\./text\./learning\./net\./first\./send
I don't know why, the place with a lot of people always looks gloomy, and after Yun Chu gently arranged the stationing of the caravan, there were tumbleweeds bounced at the end of the street, one after another, blocked by the legs of the jujube red horse, and after a while, a lot of them accumulated.
The cold wind passed through the cracks in the tumbleweeds, and whined softly, as if the heads hung on wooden poles were wronged.
Yun Chu didn't care at all about these things that were very superficial.
recalled that he was just a nine-grade doctor, plus the two humble identities of Daguan Ling Zhanggu, he had been an official in the Western Regions for more than a year, and when he returned to Chang'an, he had a net worth of two thousand taels of gold.
Then, these brothers on the flagpole are definitely worthy of death.
Even if Yun Chu's ability to make money is greater, which is incomparable to these people, but if the people are big, even if the means of making money are clumsy, the benefits are far beyond Yun Chu.
What is the Hundred Riders?
It was a violent unit that was only responsible for the emperor alone, and people like Zhang Donghai looked extremely deferential in front of Yun Chu, and there was a reason.
As long as you leave Yunchu and act alone, it will definitely be the living king of Hades.
Gently pointed to a human head with a sad face, and sighed, "A few days ago, I had a wine conversation with this human head, this person spoke extremely funny, and he knew the customs of the Western Regions well
Who knew that in a few days, there would only be one head left."
Zhong Kui didn't look at those heads, but just looked at the end of the long street, watching the tumbleweeds continue to gush out from there, and said lightly, "Hell on earth" and "I don't like Zhang Donghai and these people"
Gentle smile, "Your Majesty must be very dissatisfied with the current situation in the Western Regions, so there will be a big purge, and all of them will be replaced by their own people."
Jujube Red Horse's ass twisted, and let go of the tumbleweeds that were blocked by it, and those tumbleweeds rushed towards the Yamen of the Thorn Mansion as if they were leading the way.
Zhang Donghai, who was dressed in full costume, walked out of it with eight people laughing loudly, and said to Yun Chu from a distance, "Welcome to the prince"
Yun Chu laughed and said, "How can things be done?"
Zhang Donghai kicked away a tumbleweed that stood in the way, and laughed and said, "There are naturally no taboos in the affairs of the Hundred Riders."
After that, he invited Yun Chu, Wen Rou, Zhong Kui, and Liang Ying, who dismounted, to enter the assassination mansion.
"Gaochang is much larger than Jiaohe City, and the shape is the same as Chang'an, in fact, most of the cities in the world, especially the royal cities of foreign races, are similar to Chang'an, the outer Guo, the inner city, the imperial city, the layers are clear, but you don't need so many bricks and tiles
The Assassin's Mansion is the former Gaochang Palace, Hou Junji killed this place into a place of corpses and a sea of blood, and I heard that it was only after the abdication and surrender of Ju Wentai, the king of Gaochang
It's a pity, our brothers are late, otherwise we can see the accumulation of 180 years of Gaochang Kingdom."
Although it is the first time for Wen Rou to come to Gaochangsai, he is familiar with the architecture and composition of the past, chattering endlessly while walking.
"This Ju Wentai is still the king of the Buddha, when Master Xuanzang traveled west, Ju Wentai listened to Master Xuanzang's teachings, and was shocked for a while, and was willing to leave Master Xuanzang as the vice king to preach the Dharma in Gaochang Kingdom
In order to be able to keep Master Xuanzang for a long time, Ju Wentai arranged for Master Yi, who has a very high level of Buddhist cultivation, and Master Guotongwang, who is over 80 years old, to eat and live with Master Xuanzang and get along day and night
It's a pity that Master Xuanzang's ambition to take the Western Classics has not changed, and he has been on a hunger strike for nine days, and this Ju Wentai saw that he couldn't keep Master Xuanzang, so he prepared a white horse for Master Xuanzang with tears and escorted him to the west......
Hey, where are the descendants of King Gaochang now?"
Seeing that he asked gently, Zhang Donghai couldn't help but say shamefully, "I just killed it yesterday, and these death row prisoners colluded with Shi Gaoxian to rebel."
Gently nodded and said, "Tsk, no wonder you will die if you rebel."
Yun Chu saw that Zhang Donghai was very close to him, so he asked in a low voice, "Xizhou, don't drive Fangzheng......
Zhang Donghai snorted coldly and said, "Among all the prisoners, he is the most able to resist, and the eighteen classes of torture tools have been exhausted, not to mention the people who have collusion with him."
Yun Chu gasped, it seems that Fang Zheng's day must be very sad now, he is not a strong person in the first place, and now he is so able to resist, the only reason is that he can't say.
After all, those who colluded with him were his dear brothers-in-law, and once they said it, they would be worried about extinction.
Yun Chu whispered again, "This bastard won't pull me out, will he?"
Zhang Donghai whispered, "I said what happened during the period of the Great Guan Order of Qiuci, but it was all removed by the lower officials, after all, it has been too long, and it is difficult to check without evidence."
Yun Chu laughed and said, "Let's go see this old friend."
Zhang Donghai also laughed and said, "It's just ugly, people are still alive, and the prince is free."
