Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2165 Being pitted, confrontation!

"Old minister, see Your Majesty!"

Inside the Ganlu Palace, the eldest grandson Wuji walked in and bowed to Li Er.

"Auxiliary machines don't need to be polite!"

Li Erxu raised his hands and said with a smile.

In the previous dynasty, Li Er was already a good friend with Changsun Wuji, and later Changsun Wuji followed Li Er to conquer the world together. The friendship between them, coupled with the relationship of the eldest grandson, the two can be said to be close to each other.

Li Er is naturally quite satisfied with this eldest brother. Not only is he extremely talented and capable, but he also knows how to judge the situation and observe the situation, unlike Wei Zheng, the old guy who can always suffocate him half to death.

"Just off early, why did the auxiliary engine go and return? But what's the matter?"

Li Er put down the red pen, sat up straight, looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and asked.

On the way to the palace, the eldest grandson Wuji had already prepared the draft, and when he heard Li Er's question, he cupped his hands and said:

"Go back to Your Majesty, after the old minister came to court, I heard that a strange thing happened in Chang'an City today. The Yanhuang Bank in the city suddenly announced that it would no longer have any cooperation with the merchants of Anguo and Kanguo. The Chinese merchants must pay them off within three days, or they will be handed over to the government for investigation! I wonder if Your Majesty has heard of this?”

It turned out that he came for this matter!

Li Er's eyes flashed when he heard the words, and his heart suddenly became clear. He looked at Changsun Wuji and said with a blank expression: "I heard Zhao Song say this before... What? Is the auxiliary machine here for this matter?"

Zhangsun Wuji's brow wrinkled imperceptibly. He was not surprised that Li Er also knew about this matter. What he was surprised was that Li Er was indifferent to it since he already knew about it. Could it be that Li Ke's unauthorized manipulation of Yanhuang Qianzhuang to suppress other businessmen failed to arouse Li Er's suspicion?

It shouldn't be!

Li Er, who has experienced the change of Xuanwumen, should be extremely sensitive to this kind of thing. It is impossible to watch Li Ke as a scorpion but his power gradually grows!

"Old minister... it is indeed for this matter!"

After a moment of silence, Zhangsun Wuji said bravely, "Your Majesty, the original intention of Yanhuang Bank was to facilitate private commercial activities and solve the problem of money shortage in Tang Dynasty. Now Yanhuang Bank has suddenly stopped cooperating with merchants from Anguo and Kanguo. Is there something wrong with this move?

After all, the nine surnames of Zhaowu have been doing business in the Central Plains for many years, and they have already penetrated into various industries in our Tang Dynasty. "

Before figuring out Li Er's attitude, Changsun Wuji wisely chose a conservative strategy. He decisively only talked about the current situation and did not talk about Li Ke's personal right and wrong, so as not to cause fire!

It has to be said that the eldest grandson Wuji has been in the court for many years, and this ability to observe words is still unmatched by others!

After listening, Li Er narrowed his eyes and looked at Changsun Wuji thoughtfully. Although Changsun Wuji didn't say it clearly, Li Er already understood the real purpose of Changsun Wuji's coming to see him this time. I want to use this to cause trouble for Li Ke!

At the beginning, Li Ke requested that Jinyiwei be established within the bank to maintain the security of Yanhuang bank and the integrity of the staff inside the bank. Changsun Wuji strongly opposed it after learning the news. During that time, Changsun Wuji was for this I asked Li Er to meet with Li Er alone no less than five times, but Li Er had already agreed to Li Ke.

Moreover, when he promised Li Ke, he wanted to support Li Ke a little on purpose, so that Prince Li Chengqian could be under pressure and study politics more hard. Therefore, although Changsun Wuji raised objections many times, Jin Yiwei was still successfully formed!

Just like this, the bitterness between Changsun Wuji and Li Ke was born!

But even if this didn't happen, Zhangsun Wuji didn't like Li Ke, because Li Ke was from Concubine Yang, and he was very threatening to his nephew Li Chengqian's crown prince. They were destined to stand on different political positions. .

Of course, this is also the point that Li Er is most dissatisfied with Changsun Wuji. Although Changsun Wuji usually hides this little thought very well, how can he hide it from Li Er's eyes?

From Li Er's point of view, his "eldest brother-in-law" is fine in everything, but he is too paranoid and selfish, especially after he became the emperor, this became more and more obvious!

The matter of Li Chu is seen by others as a state affair, and as seen by Li Er as a family affair. No one can control his choice, not even the eldest grandson, let alone his eldest grandson Wuji!

Although his original intention was to make Li Chengqian the crown prince, he didn't like the eldest grandson Wuji's excessive meddling in this matter!

"Auxiliary machine, do you know why Yanhuang Qianzhuang suddenly stopped communicating with merchants from Anguo and Kanguo?"

After a moment of silence, Li Er stared at Changsun Wuji and said slowly.

"...?"

Zhangsun Wuji was stunned when he heard the words. Could it be that this was not because Li Ke wanted to take the opportunity to suppress the nine surnames of Zhaowu, but because there was something hidden in it?

"...The old minister doesn't know!"

Faintly aware of something wrong in his heart, Changsun Wuji twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and then cupped his hands.

Li Er looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and said word by word: "Because Qingque was hijacked by Turkic spies in Taiyuan, the merchants of Anguo and Kanguo in Taiyuan City and the Turkic spies colluded with each other to prevent the government from rescuing Qingque!"

Zhangsun Wuji was stunned. No matter how clever he was, he would never have imagined that there was such a person behind Yanhuang Qianzhuang's sanctions on Anguo and Kanguo merchants.

Layer reason!

In an instant, Changsun Wuji knew that he had been tricked, and that he was tricked by that bastard Ma Cheng!

Who is Li Tai? Li Tai is one of Li Er's most beloved princes, and his holy favor is no less than that of Li Chengqian! This matter has already involved Turk spies, Li Tai's safety, and even the majesty of the Tang Dynasty. Being sanctioned by Yanhuang Qianzhuang is a very light punishment for those merchants in Anguo and Kanguo. After Tai is rescued, those merchants from Anguo and Kanguo will probably usher in a more violent storm!

As the sanctioner, Yanhuang Qianzhuang has not only failed in this matter, but has actually contributed. He entered the palace this time to impeach Li Ke for abusing his power. Now, it seems that he is a joke!

"Your Majesty's forgiveness! The old minister did not know that such a big incident happened in the city of Taiyuan. The merchants of Anguo and Kanguo colluded with the Turkic spies to harm the King of Wei. The old minister believes that it should be severely punished!"

Taking a deep breath, Changsun Wuji hurriedly cupped his hands.

As for the guy who pitted him, when he goes back, he will definitely find that person to settle accounts. Now, the most important thing is to show his position!

Inside the Hall of Ganlu.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Zhangsun Wuji's forehead. He originally came to impeach Li Ke today, but he never expected that he would end up getting burned, because if it was true, as Li Er said, there were merchants from Anguo and Kanguo colluding in Taiyuan. If Turkic spies harm Li Tai, then Li Ke's use of Yanhuang Qianzhuang to sanction the merchants of Anguo and Kanguo is not only faultless, but also meritorious!

He only hates Ma Cheng now, and can't wait to tear that guy to pieces!

Thinking that his eldest grandson Wuji was always plotting against others, but now he was plotted by a "little brother" under his command. This is really all day long, but he was blinded by goose pecks!

It's just that what Zhangsun Wuji didn't understand was why Li Ke made a move to sanction the merchants of Anguo and Kanguo at this time. Could it be that he already knew what happened in Taiyuan City?

You must know that before this, no one in the court knew the news! How did Li Ke find out?

"Auxiliary machine, the reason you came to see me today is probably not just for Yanhuang Qianzhuang, right?"

Looking at the "old friend" bowing in front of him, Li Er decided to hit him appropriately. Sure enough, hearing his words, Zhangsun Wuji trembled, but Li Er showed no mercy until he said to the point: "You today He should have come to impeach Ke'er against me!"

"Shh~!"

The eldest grandson Wuji, who had always collapsed in front of Mount Tai without changing his color, suddenly changed his face, and he quickly explained: "Your Majesty, old minister..."

"You don't have to explain! I know what you want to say!"

Li Er waved his sleeve robe and interrupted Changsun Wuji. He decided to explain his words to Changsun Wuji today, so that this guy would not go overboard again in the future, otherwise it would be difficult for him to do it, "Li Zexuan is now in the military camp, The important responsibility of managing Yanhuang Bank falls on Ke'er's shoulders. Today's notice of Yanhuang Bank must have been inspired by Ke'er. Don't you want to use this to impeach Ke'er for abusing his power? "

Zhangsun Wuji was awe-inspiring, how could he not see that Li Er was already angry when things had developed to this point!

Li Er ignored him and continued: "I know that you are very dissatisfied with the key yamen that I put Ke'er in Yanhuang Bank, but don't forget that Yanhuang Bank was founded by Li Zexuan, and no one knows how to manage Yanhuang better than him. Qianzhuang! Earlier, Li Zexuan told me that Ke'er was quite talented in economics, and he had won his true inheritance, so I would let Ke'er make the best use of it and stay in Yanhuang Qianzhuang.

Since the establishment of Yanhuang Qianzhuang, it is impossible for you to know how much influence it has had on the Tang states! This is a yamen that is related to the future foundation of the Tang Dynasty and benefits thousands of people, but at the same time, it is also a double-edged sword. If it is not used properly, it is very likely to hurt myself! In the future, when I have more talents who are good at economics in Tang Dynasty, I may let others manage the Yanhuang Bank, but now, the Yanhuang Bank must be managed by Ke'er and Li Zexuan! "

When Li Zexuan taught Li Ke the way of economy, he once said to Li Ke very solemnly: "The way of economy is broad and profound, it is a powerful sword, but at the same time it is also a great beast. If the country is rich and the people are strong, if it is because of greed and reckless actions, the sword of a strong country will turn into a flood and a beast, and the economy of the Tang Dynasty will completely collapse!"

Later, Yanhuang Qianzhuang was established, and Tang Yuan became popular in the Tang Dynasty. Li Ke also said this sentence more than once in front of Li Er, just to remind Li Er that he must use the sharp sword of Qianzhuang well, and not let this advantage The sword hurts Datang himself!

Therefore, from the establishment of Yanhuang Bank to the present, Li Er has rarely intervened in the operation of Yanhuang Bank, because he knows that he is not good at economics, and it is better to hand over the management of Yanhuang Bank to those who are good at it, and he only needs to be behind the scenes. Take control of the general direction!

Compared with the previous emperors, Li Er is undoubtedly excellent in this regard. He respects talents and knows how to leave professional things to professional people. Only among the civil and military officials of the dynasty will there be abundant talents, and all walks of life in the private sector will be prosperous!

"Your Majesty, the old minister did not object to the King of Shu and the Marquis of Yong'an taking control of the Yanhuang Bank. What the old minister has always opposed is the Jinyiwei under the King of Shu!"

Now that Li Er has made his words clear, Changsun Wuji knows that he must also tell the truth. If he wants to speak some high-sounding and painless "mandarin" like before, he will only offend the supreme human being in front of him. , After getting along with Li Er for so many years, the eldest grandson Wuji knew Li Er's temper well, so he bowed to Li Er with a very serious expression:

"according to

The old minister knows that there are thousands of civilian and military personnel in Jinyiwei, of which there are currently more than 2,000 Guangwu personnel. In the past dynasties, the prince's military power will cause instability in the court and infighting in the palace, Your Majesty... Also please be careful, Your Majesty! "

Changsun Wuji originally wanted to say, "His Majesty was the King of Qin back then, and it was impossible not to understand this truth," but he stopped in time, because he knew that although Li Er won the transformation of Xuanwu Gate, it was a permanent wound in his heart. Pain, he better not to open the scar!

Li Er narrowed his eyes and stared at the eldest grandson Wuji. After a long silence, Li Er opened his mouth and said:

"Wuji, know son Mo Ruofu, these sons, I know better than you! Keer loves economics and has no desire to fight for power and profit. As for Jinyiwei, it is just a tool to maintain the stable and healthy operation of the bank. , Although there are more than 2,000 military personnel, they are already few in the 360 ​​states of the Tang Dynasty!

In addition, I'm only in the third year of life, and I advise you not to get involved too much in the battle for the crown prince! "

Speaking of this, there was a hint of coldness in Li Er's tone. He used to call him "auxiliary machine", but now he's calling Zhangsun Wuji's name directly!

Because Changsun Wuji has surpassed the Thunder Pond!

Zhangsun Wuji's body trembled and his heart froze. Li Er's last words meant that the warning was not obvious, so he just said to him directly, "I am only thirty this year, and I can still be the emperor for decades. As for the competition for the crown prince. You still don't want to mess around with things like this!"

He knew that Li Er was really angry. If he continued to entangle on this topic at this time, I am afraid that Li Er's thunderous wrath would be ushered in next!

"Your Majesty is far-sighted, the old minister is confused for a while, listens to slander, and asks Your Majesty to forgive me!"

The eldest grandson Wuji bowed his body and handed over his sins.
