Suddenly, Yang Xiu was called back to Daxing City, and without any warning, he was promoted to Shangzhu State, Southwest Province (under the jurisdiction of present-day Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Tibet) to carry out the Taishang Book Order, and to govern the Southwest Frontier Army.

This sudden appointment made the ministers in the court a little overwhelmed.

There has been no major turmoil in the southwest over the years, it is a relatively stable section, and Yang Xiu has done a very good job with Yuan Yan's assistance here, why did he suddenly make such a show?

It is said that the emperor's mind is the most difficult to guess, and it is true.

Gao Gong, who had just stabilized the return of the Youzhou Army, was full of fatigue on his face, and sighed lightly with a slight helplessness.

The trip to Youzhou is much more dangerous than what was said in the court.

After the defeat on the battlefield of Goguryeo, the mood in the army was very unstable, and many of King Wei's subordinates were not convinced, and they wanted to reorganize the army and fight back.

Many people in the army described him, the person who negotiated peace, as a traitor, and they wanted to denounce him as a traitor, and even surrounded his camp with swords at the most dangerous times.

forced him to hide in the camp tent, frightened all night, relying on the protection and pacification of his subordinates to barely get through the difficulties.

It was a real knife and a real gun to denounce the national thief, and he was so anxious that he almost gave his life there.

Come and wipe the prince's buttocks, and I'm exhausted.

But these things are not conducive to unity, he only reported to the emperor, and did not say it in the court and in the recital.

As soon as Gao Gong came back, he was pulled into the study by the emperor, thinking that he would be able to rest after dealing with Goguryeo's affairs, but he didn't expect the emperor to really give him a problem.

The Emperor asked him a question that he could not have thought of.

"King Jin is powerful, what is it now?"

As the emperor, Yang Jian has already begun to feel a certain degree of threat to Yang Guang in his heart.

Father and son are both male masters, not auspicious.

There is no father and son in the heavenly family, and Yang Yong is mediocre, which makes Yang Jian a little worried about whether his ability will be able to rule this huge empire in the future, but he also feels relieved, at least the prince has no ability to overthrow his rule no matter what, and now the prince is stupid and stupid, and the dethronement is imminent.

If there is no prince in the country, it is unstable, and it is natural for Yang Guang to set up another prince, these days, he has thought about it for a long time and still can't make up his mind to make Yang Guang the prince.

One of them is naturally Yuan Ji's proverb, the world is chaotic.

Second, because Yang Guang is too capable, and he feels more and more that his son is too similar to himself, he has the city government and the bottom, and he is also worried that he is as unwilling to be subordinated as himself, is there still less things about fathers, sons and brothers killing each other in this troubled world?

This is the point of contradiction that exists in the typical father-son relationship.

Capable men want both their sons to be capable and their sons to be mediocre.

He not only expects his son to surpass himself, but also hopes that his son will not surpass himself.

The most perfect situation is that when he was still alive, his son was mediocre and filial, and when he was away, his son suddenly awakened and had the ability to surpass him to take care of the empire, but because there is no actual comparison, it is difficult to say that he really surpasses him.

A simple example is like a parent who hopes that his son will not fall in love, but also hopes that he will marry a perfect daughter-in-law as soon as he graduates from college, and turn his head to give birth to a big fat grandson.

Both...... Again...... Still...... Both

The problems that trap the dull also trap the wisest.

Yang Jian, who felt that he was at his peak, did not want his young son to surpass him.

Gao Gong, who understood the emperor's sore spots, had to actively give advice to the emperor.

He is also the prince's father-in-law, so he naturally hopes that the prince can recover, but the prince has now completely lost his favor, and the emperor has no intention of letting him recover.

You must know that Yuan Xiaoju, who stabbed out this matter, is now completely deprived of his official title, although he has not been demoted to a concubine, but it is almost the same.

Yuan Xiaoju just wanted to support his daughter, but he didn't expect this situation, the world is unpredictable.

The prince couldn't do anything here, and he wanted to contain Yang Guang, and finally the emperor decided to pull out the chess pieces that had been buried before, his other son, Yang Xiu, the governor of Yizhou.

Yang Xiu was arranged outside since he was a child, and he was assisted by famous ministers, famous generals on the side, and he himself worked very hard, and the achievements he made are obvious to all.

Over the years, the development of Shu has been very good, the soldiers are full of food, and the disasters such as mountain bandits have basically been pacified, and although the things are not very vigorous, they are all in order and handled properly.

Yang Jian was still worried about Yuan Ji's proverbs, and Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, was like a tiger in a cage, difficult to lock.

But this tiger now looks like a gentle and elegant young man, a steady and successful young man, and Yang Guang is so similar to that back then.

Yang Jian finally let the tiger out of the cage, after all, he already had a male master by his side.

Gao Gong learned of the emperor's decision and knew that the disputes in this Daxing city would always be indispensable, and the emperor didn't want him to be less, there should be checks and balances between the courtiers, and there should be checks and balances between the princes.

Yang Xiu, who was enshrined above the main hall, was full of spirit and took the responsibility.

And he doesn't have to go to Yizhou anymore to serve but in Daxing City, and the border army under his control is only the weakest one, but the signal of activation is clear.

The crown prince Yang Yong in the court is like a decadent mascot, unable to speak, unable to express his opinions, wearing the prince's clothes, standing like this, his face is full of haggardness.

The emperor said to everyone: "Tuyuhun controls the Qinghai Road of the Silk Road, and often invades the area of Longxi in the past few years, and also occupies the hometown of the Western Qin, although that is the matter of the previous dynasty, but the control of the Qinghai Road of the Silk Road has become an obstacle to the communication between our dynasty and the Fanbang of the Western Regions, and I deeply feel that it is the enemy of the future and cannot be underestimated." ”

"So today, I ordered the king of Shu to rectify the border army, and began to negotiate with Tuyuhun to master the Qinghai Silk Road, and attack it as a last resort, and leave it to the king of Shu to decide."

Yang Xiu immediately received the order: "Erchen obeys!" ”

The Eastern Expedition and the Western War, the Northern Expedition and the Southern Expedition, the emperor of the Great Sui did not stop for a day, although the Goguryeo battlefield was considered to be a loss, but with the advantages established by King Wei at the beginning, after the final negotiation, it was still earned in terms of geographical area.

The battle of the Southern Dynasties has to be fought, and now it is necessary to fight Tuguhun, if it weren't for the abundance of the Great Sui treasury, it really wouldn't be able to withstand Yang Jian's consumption.

But why is the treasury full? Ministers also have rods and scales in their hearts.

In addition to Yang Guang's military exploits, he also brought the economy of the Great Sui to an unprecedented height.

Although those family gate lords were very disgusted at the beginning of the school and other things that Yang Guang had made, but now it seems that although there is a noble son from a poor family, most of the people who benefit are still the children of the big family, and they are also the ones who make more money from the circulation of the canal.

The appearance of Xiliang Bank has given them a place where they can safely store their property.

Now they don't seem to hate Yang Guang too much.

It had been two days since Yang Guang got the news, and he was waiting leisurely for the news from Nan Chen.

Xiao Cong also came over today, Yang Guang did not shy away from reporting the mansion to him, Xiao Cong looked embarrassed after reading it, and didn't know what to say.

"Uncle, what do you think I should do next?"

Xiao Cong hesitated for a while: "You are much smarter than me, of course you know how to do it, anyway, my father and I will support you as always." ”

"With the support of my uncle and father-in-law, I feel much more at ease."

Stretched: "For the time being, let's ignore him for the actual matter, and deal with Nan Chen's affairs first." ”

It didn't take long for Nan Chen's boat to report the news to arrive, this time Xiao Qing did not come in person, but asked his subordinates to report, because Xiao Qing had been going to court with people for the past two days.

"How's it going?"

"The people's grievances are boiling, and the targets are fierce."

……

Jiankang City Jingzhao Mansion Ya, today Xiao Qing and a bunch of cloth shop shopkeepers in the Mansion are facing each other in front of Yin Liu Kaicheng of Jingzhao Mansion.

Xiao Qing was the defendant, and the rest of his cloth shop shopkeepers were plaintiffs.

sued Xiao Qing and sold cloth at a low price.

Yin Liu Kaicheng of Jingzhao Mansion is a slightly chubby man in his fifties, when he received this paper for the first time, he was stunned, how can he be sued in court at a low price? Something unheard of.

He didn't know much about cloth, but when he thought that his wife had inexplicably filled the whole room with cloth recently, he thought about asking her about it first.

When I asked, I really knew that her wife bought so much cloth because of the dumping of the reserve price of the Jinling cloth shop.

When I asked about the original price, the original price was about 30%, such a low price, even if Liu Kaicheng didn't care about the price of the cloth, he felt that something was wrong, and he immediately thought that there was a problem with the price of these fabrics.

Immediately rushed to the warehouse and carefully checked the quality of the cloth.

Mrs. Liu is the continuation of Liu Kaicheng, who is less than thirty years old, and when she saw Liu Kaicheng inspecting the cloth, she asked: "Husband, what's wrong?" ”

"Today, the shopkeeper of several cloth shops came to sue Xiao Qing of the Jinling cloth shop, saying that he maliciously sold low-priced cloth, since our family bought the cheap I went to collect evidence, you, you, our family is not without money, what to do with this cheap? Although the clothes made for the next people are not very good, they must also be of good quality and quantity, otherwise others will not be able to say that our family is slamming the door? ”

was said so inexplicably, Mrs. Liu was reluctant, and Pear Blossom said with rain: "How can you frame people without evidence?" Where the cloth I bought was defective, it would be slammed on the door, which saved our family money, and it was ridiculed by my husband like this, woo woo. ”

This old husband and young wife, the most terrible thing is that the beautiful wife cries, and Liu Kaicheng has no choice.

I had to coax and say: "I'm not scolding you, it's just that it's cheap and not good, good is not cheap, you were fooled at a young age." ”

Mrs. Liu took out the cloth casually and said: "Husband, please check it, the fabrics I have grabbed in the past few days have been verified by myself myself, all of them are good products, and there are no defective products." ”

Seeing that his wife was not convinced, Liu Kaicheng used his experience and intuition to judge that he must have been fooled, and then checked the cloth in front of him.

The results of the inspection surprised him: "Why, I can't find any flaws, they are all good products." ”

In disbelief, he said: "How is this possible, it's so cheap and it's all good." ”

Seeing Liu Kaicheng's performance like this, Mrs. Liu consciously pulled back a percent, and immediately brought the pear blossoms and rain again: "Husband, you actually blame me for my ordinary frugality, this is what I have taken people to rush to buy back these days, I got up early and was greedy for darkness, but it also made my husband displeased, it's a big deal that I will buy those expensive ones in the future, anyway, my husband doesn't feel sorry for money, hum!" ”

Knowing that he was wrong, Liu Kaicheng had to keep comforting: "It was me who was wrong, I was impulsive, I didn't expect such a cheap cloth to be of good quality and quantity, and I won't dare to do it again in the future." ”

Mrs. Liu, whose crying was restrained, said softly: "Husband, look at me to save money for the family, you doubt me, the Jinling cloth shop sells at a low price and has to be besieged by other cloth shops, if you want me to say, this cloth should be at this price, it is all those cloth merchants who have joined forces to make everyone's money, if they succeed, where will I buy such cheap and high-quality cloth in the future, no, I have to go to the court to testify to the Jinling cloth shop." ”

"Nonsense, you are a woman, what is the matter with going to court?"

"Hmph, husband, anyway, we can't let this group of bad guys succeed, otherwise the price of cloth will rise back in the future, I have saved a lot of money and silver in the Jinling cloth shop, so I will pick the cloth first in the future."

"You've saved some money?"

"Yes, it's not just me, Mrs. Li, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Bo, the head of the mansion, have all saved money, and this group of wilted cloth merchants can't get along with us."

"Okay, okay, I got it."

The cloth merchants in Jiankang City still have no idea that their biggest enemy is no longer Jinling cloth shop.

It's the young women who have money, time, and ability in the city.

Therefore, today's Jingzhao Mansion is surrounded by water, and those noble ladies who can't come themselves have sent small servants or mothers-in-law to come, and the ordinary class who enjoy low-cost and high-quality cloth come to see the excitement is even more.

Liu Kaicheng's government office is not enough, Liu Kaicheng has been an official for so many years, and he knows that the most popular thing for ordinary people to watch is to try those who killed the head to release their emotions, or to satisfy their curiosity.

Liu Kaicheng was shocked and shouted: "Silence." ”

"Who is in the hall, and who is suing?"

"Cao Min and others sued Xiao Qing, the shopkeeper of the Jinling cloth shop, for selling cloth with defective products, disrupting the market, and selling in violation of regulations, and asked the government Yin to investigate."

"Xiao Qing, what do you say?"

"Fu Yin, the grass people are honest businessmen, and they do their own business, if there are defective grass people who sell them, they are willing to close the shop."

"Is that true?"

"Naturally, take it seriously!"

"Come on, bring the things."

At this time, a group of people came up with the so-called evidence, about twenty pieces of cloth.

And he took one of the horses and unfolded it, revealing a hole in it, with different thicknesses, and the edges were rough, and the quality was extremely poor, and it was obviously inferior.

"This is the cloth that went out from the Jinling cloth shop, everyone came to see it, these, these and these, all of them are inferior products, Jinling cloth shops use these things to sell at low prices, deceive the people, it is really a pig to slaughter, the crime is unforgivable!"
