Chapter 1003 Can't Forget Him(1/3)
"Northern Xinjiang is aggressive. After conquering Kunzhou, Yang Xuan's ambition can no longer be concealed."
In the duty room, Zheng Qi waved his arms to strengthen his tone, "If he only attacked Neizhou, he could explain it by removing the threat from Bei Liao to Northern Xinjiang. But why did he attack Kunzhou? Neizhou was blocking it.
Kunzhou cannot directly threaten Northern Xinjiang. Therefore, he is ambitious!"
In the duty room, the abbot was reading documents. Several officials listened to Zheng Qi's analysis and nodded frequently.
Outside, several petty officials stood with their hands tied.
This was a meeting, and the discussion was about official matters, but before it even started, Zheng Qi came. He started talking about Northern Xinjiang, but kept quiet about Yang Xuan's ambition.
Outside, a clerk raised his head and whispered: "That's wrong!"
These few petty officials came with the officials.
"Why is it wrong?" asked another clerk.
The clerk said: "Is it wrong to attack Beiliao?"
Several petty officials looked at him, hesitating to speak, and finally fell silent.
yes!
Was it wrong to attack the great enemy of the Tang Dynasty?
"...If we attack Kunzhou today, will we attack Longhuazhou tomorrow? And later on, will we attack Ningxing? The ambition is clear!"
Zheng Qi became more and more excited as he talked.
The father-in-law coughed dryly, interrupted his performance, and pointed to the teacup on the table in front of him.
"Drink some tea!"
"yes!"
Zheng Qi sat down.
Yang Songcheng said: "The Ministry of Revenue should keep a close eye on all places in Chang'an, and those who are trafficking large quantities of grain to Northern Xinjiang should keep this in mind."
"yes!"
Several officials looked at each other.
Today’s issue is actually how to lock down Northern Xinjiang?
But northern Xinjiang and the south are bordered everywhere. Unless millions of troops are mobilized, how can it be locked?
Therefore, the symbolic significance of this move is greater than the practical significance.
Just like when Bei Liao wanted to ban smuggling, the area bordering Bei Liao and Datang was too wide. The defenders were exhausted and still couldn't stop those merchants who took risks for money.
The consequences of banning smuggling will be higher prices for goods and higher profits.
Later, even the defenders were involved in smuggling. When it was discovered that there were nobles in Ningxing who were involved, the blockade operation was stopped.
An official suggested, "The Ministry of Revenue controls the world's money and food. Not only must the food be locked up, but the coins must also be taken care of!"
Even the Northern Liao and Southern Zhou Dynasties liked the copper coins of the Tang Dynasty. Once they were cut off, the consequences of money shortage would be serious.
An official coughed dryly and said, "That's it! Don't talk nonsense!"
The official frowned, "Is what I said wrong?"
The official said: "If the exchange of coins is cut off, will Northern Xinjiang... be able to mint coins on its own due to the money shortage?"
Well!
This problem is very complicated!
Once Northern Xinjiang mints its own coins, it will not be far from breaking away from the Tang Dynasty.
“There is no copper in Northern Xinjiang!”
"Yang Xuan is domineering. Even if there is no copper, why can't he seize the copper mine? Don't forget, the nearest copper mine is only more than three hundred miles away. Once Yang Xuan takes the risk, Chang'an in northern Xinjiang becomes a sign.
He can throw away this sign and stand on his own at any time. Can you afford the consequences?"
"He dares?"
"You've forced people to run out of money, do you think they dare?"
"He said he would live up to the Tang Dynasty in this life!"
"The prerequisite for living up to the Tang Dynasty is that the Tang Dynasty will live up to him!"
"What do you mean by what you said, the Tang Dynasty did not let him down?"
"Do you think everyone is an honest person and can be flattened and rounded by you? There were some old monsters in the palace back then, and their bones were eventually buried in Northern Xinjiang. Do you think Yang Xuan, who dared to kill people in the palace, is easy to talk to?"
A follower appeared outside the door, bowing his head slightly.
Yang Songcheng waved his hand: "Just step back first!"
"yes!"
Yang Songcheng didn't care how much results this meeting could produce, he just took advantage of this meeting to show off.
After everyone left, the entourage came in.
Yang Songcheng took a sip of tea and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Zhang Jiao Lin was assassinated!"
Yang Songcheng's hand holding the tea cup tightened slightly, and then asked: "How long did it take?"
"Just before, Jiao Lin died at the hands of a female assassin. At this moment, it is estimated that more than ten people were dispatched in Northern Xinjiang."
Yang Songcheng took another sip of tea, his expression calm with a touch of coldness, "It seems that this guy has a good face!"
An aide came in and said, "My lord, Jiao Lin has been assassinated. The Jinwu Guards have surrounded the Beijiang Guild Hall and are ready to take action!"
"idiot!"
Yang Songcheng sneered: "There is no evidence, how can we take action? Once we take action, Yang Xuan will find an excuse to attack us. If they take down the Beijiang Guild Hall today, are they not worried about Beijiang taking down their people?"
Northern Xinjiang is now prosperous in commerce, and many powerful and powerful merchants in Guanzhong have business there. After angering Yang Xuan, one guy confiscated them all. How many people can hate Jin Wuwei and Yang Songcheng to death?
"Let them go!"
"yes!"
The entourage went out and came back not long after, "The father-in-law of the country, Jiao Lin's family came to ask for an audience. They were crying and said that they wanted to ask the father-in-law to take care of the children..."
Yang Songcheng said calmly: "Don't Jin Wuwei have any pension?"
"have!"
The follower lowered his head and said, "I understand, the villain."
This matter has nothing to do with the father-in-law!
There are many kinds of dogs, and domestic dogs should be treated kindly and comforted.
But wild dogs are different and it's best to stay away.
In the eyes of the state leader, Jiao Lin is just a wild dog!
If you die, you will die!
…
In the palace, the emperor also received the same news.
"Retribution is bound to happen, and the means are as sharp as thunder."
The emperor waved his hand and resigned from the stage.
Han Shitou said: "The Jinwu Guards can take action at any time."
The emperor sarcastically said: "There is no evidence, how can we take action? Once we take action, the traitor will be called Qu. It is useless for others to call him Qu, but if he calls him Qu, the soldiers and civilians in northern Xinjiang will roar with filial piety. A dog has a group of obedient cattle and sheep.
Hey! Cows and sheep!”
Han Shitou said: "The King of Yue previously asked for an audience..."
"he?"
The emperor said: "Are you here to denounce Northern Xinjiang? Let the second son come too. I want to hear his opinion."
Later, King Wei entered the palace.
"Second brother, do you know that I have been waiting for you for half an hour?"
The king of Yue had a weak way.
King Wei ignored him at all.
"Yang Xuan killed Jiao Lin of Jinwu Guard!"
The King of Yue said with a smile.
"That's fine!"
King Wei didn't react at all.
