Chapter 434
What Yang Guozhong is worried about is also what the rest of the Yang family is worried about.
The current prosperity and wealth of the Yang family is all related to Li Longji, but Li Longji is already in his seventies. How long can he live? Although Yang Guozhong is not the real Yang family, his biological father should be Zhang Yizhi, but his current interests are one with the entire Yang family.
"Since you know this, why do you have to make things difficult for Ye Shiyi?" After pondering for a while, Mrs. Guo raised her eyebrows: "If Ye Shiyi is helping her, think about it, wouldn't your thoughts be easier?"
"Only if my position is stable, I can succeed. Ye Shiyi has already threatened my position." Yang Guozhong's face turned red: "So..."
"Don't talk nonsense about lying to me. Although I am a woman, I know that Ye Shiyi was not very interested in official positions. Even the hat of the Minister of Works is what you forcibly wear on him, just to separate him from the border army and drive him out of the capital to various places to build roads and embankments."
Yang Guozhong never thought that Lady Guo even knew their intentions, and immediately blushed: "So what? As long as he is in the court for one day, I will find it difficult to rest. Someone must compare him with me... If he is in the border and the saint cannot sleep at night, how could Ye Chang have lived in the past for a long time? He will definitely be against the Japanese."
"So you would rather force him to rebel against him. When he went to Liaodong, he would cause riots in Chang'an and Luoyang. You originally thought that the saint would blame him for this, and he would raise an army, but he never thought that the saint would give him a secret order, and he would dare to return to the Central Plains under the current situation?" Lady Guo laughed and said, "I wanted to blame him for his crime, but I never thought that the saint cooperated with him very well, but instead attacked you? The saint must be dissatisfied with you. He just used Ye Chang's hand to hit you, so there was no need to be so nervous."
"I'll tell the truth. If you want to depose Li Heng, you must ask the ministers in the court to attack him. But changing the national crown prince is not a trivial matter. I can't afford to leave so many official positions. What can I do?" Yang Guozhong knew that his words could not hide from this cousin, and immediately complained: "The only solution is to induce him with benefits. In addition to taking advantage of the three major chambers of commerce, where can I find the benefits?"
"You can discuss with Ye Shiyi that his relationship with the prince will not be much better." Lady Guo Guo washed her body at this time, stood up straight, and barely turned to Yang Guozhong. Yang Guozhong hurried forward and wiped the water from her body with a big towel.
Hearing the words of Mrs. Guo, Yang Guozhao paused: "Women's opinion, this is to send the handle of the knife to Ye Chang's hands and let him cut us. If he exposes this matter to the prince, not only will he make up for his relationship with the prince, but also...
"Okay, okay." Lady Guoguo snorted, knowing that she was wishful thinking.
"In recent years, Ye Chang has given our Yang family a lot of benefits. Even after you get into evil with him, he has nothing to do to let me down..." After pausing, Mrs. Guoguo said again.
"That's because he is afraid of you and the Empress, because the saint, let alone, if he treats you seriously, how could he not know the grudge between Dugu Ming and our Yang family? Now even the emperor doesn't like Dugu when he sees Dugu, but he is very close to Dugu Ming. Dugu Ming relies on him, and he can be said to be fighting gold every day."
For Lady Guo, the prince-consor Dugu Ming was a great revenge. When she was fighting for the throne in Xiangxuehai, she was beaten out by the family of the prince-consor's mansion, which was really a great humiliation. Afterwards, she wanted to convert Dugu Ming's daughter into a princess and marry a Khitan or Xi from afar, but she gave up because of Ye Chang's border theory and several poems. In her opinion, this tone has never been exhausted.
Although she had some vision and decisiveness, she did not have much vision or wisdom. When Yang Guozhong raised her old hatred, she rolled her eyes and opened her arms. Yang Guozhong immediately stepped forward and put her clothes on her.
"What are my benefits?" she asked straightforwardly: "Don't use some small favors to fool me. I know Ye Shiyi's family's background. If you don't say anything else, the glass workshop and the clock workshop can't hide it from me."
Not only can I hide it from her, glass and clocks are luxury goods mainly operated by the Anton Chamber of Commerce. In the past, everyone only said that glass came from the "Aolai Kingdom". Now most people know that the so-called Aolai Kingdom was an excuse made by Ye Chang for the origin of Bao. This glass should be obtained by him who improved the formula and skills of glass.
"What do you mean by the second sister?"
"You don't understand yet? Both the glass workshop and the clock workshop must belong to me." Lady Guo raised her eyebrows: "If this is not the case, why should I help you? Could it be that you have a white face? Ye Shiyi is much handsome than you, and she is younger than you, and she is strong..."
Speaking of this, Lady Guo’s face turned slightly red. Seeing her like this, Yang Guozhong cursed secretly: Slut
The conditions proposed by Mrs. Guo Guo were impossible to fully follow. Yang Guozhong knew very well that Ye Chang had formed a common interest group in the court with the three major chambers of commerce. If he wanted to break through this interest group, he had to give them more benefits. He repeatedly begged Mrs. Guo Guo, for his suffering, and had one-third of the benefits of the glass workshop. Mrs. Guo ignored his difficulties and stood in front of a large glass mirror and looked left and right, ignoring him at all.
"Second sister, why not do this. Then I will use half of the glass workshop to get the second sister. Let's start a new job and build a glass workshop. I just said that we have developed a recipe for glass technology by ourselves. What do you think?"
In desperation, Yang Guozhong changed his mind and finally came up with a way that he thought he was both good. When Mrs. Guo heard this, she thought it was good and nodded immediately: "Where is that clock?"
"Second sister, there will always be some benefits to the saint." Yang Guozhong was anxious: "When the second sister goes to find the saint, it is legitimate."
"You want to hand over the clock to the saint?"
"You don't know that the saint was really happy with the clock. Since Tianbao's eleventh year, he got the first clock from Ye Chang, there are now more than 30 clocks of various types in the palace. He even wants to build another palace garden to display the clocks." Yang Guozhong said: "If this workshop was not filled with craftsmen in the palace, how could he be willing to overthrow Ye Chang?"
"Hmph... Since that's the case, I'll rely on you for the time being, but the ready-made garments will belong to me."
"I'll find the best tailor for you." Yang Guozhong pressed his forehead and felt that his cousin was even harder to deal with than Ye Chang.
Clothing manufacturing is also an emerging industry. After the rapid increase in cotton production, Ye Chang further launched the garment manufacturing industry, listing various numbers of garments according to the Tang people's physique, and then making garments according to the specifications. The clothes made in this way are about one-third cheaper than those who cut them by themselves, especially for those who need a certain scale of uniform clothing. For example, the garments in the Yang family's house are all customized in the garment workshop.
However, most people still rely on the women in their families to cut it. Lady Guo Guo liked this because she liked the various new styles launched by the ready-to-wear workshop, and she trusted Ye Chang's eyes and felt that since Ye Chang dared to run this industry, she would have a future in the future.
It is also ironic. Those who want to deal with Ye Chang have a lot of trust in Ye Chang's vision and ability, including Yang Guozhong. Although he is dissatisfied with Ye Chang, he never dared to say that Ye Chang has no vision and ability.
Yang Guozhong responded to this request indiscriminately and repeatedly urged Lady Guo, but Lady Guo changed her mind: "The saint wants to make a new dance tomorrow, but it is dark at this time, so it is not easy to enter the palace. I will find an opportunity to tell the saint tomorrow - you can't wait for a night of effort?"
Yang Guozhong was a little anxious: "What can Ye Chang do this night?"
"If you do those miscellaneous chambers of commerce, if you do well, what can he get overnight?" Mrs. Guo snorted: "If you want to go, you will go by yourself. If you want me to go, you have to wait for tomorrow."
Yang Guozhong was helpless. Lady Guo still wanted to keep him for fun. He didn't have the intention. When he returned to his house, Dou Hua had already left at this time, but there was an unexpected person waiting for him to see him.
"Ji Wen? What did he do? No, no, no, no, no, no, Yang Guozhong saw the slah and threw it out: "Let him get away."
Ji Wen has made great progress with An Lushan in recent years, but he has become a little distant from Yang Guozhong. Yang Guozhong's spy once returned the news that An Lushan said more than once that the prime minister in the court was not effective, and Ji Wen must be the prime minister. Yang Guozhong hated the traitors very much, but now he has to deal with Ye Chang and try to change the prince, so he still can't spend his energy to deal with Ji Wen. Now that he has something in his heart, Ji Wen came to ask for a meeting, which is just right for him to take off his anger.
The housekeeper picked up the name thorn and came out to see Ji Wen. He said proudly: "My husband is very busy now and has no time to see idle people waiting. You can go back and take your time."
Ji Wen slapped his face hard, feeling ashamed, and the other visitors who were sitting at the gate of Yang's house waiting to see him also looked over in surprise.
"You go back and report to Mr. Yang, saying that I have something important..." Ji Wen said.
"If you say you don't see me, you won't see me. You are so boring."
"Stop talking, the dog slave is rude." Ji Wen couldn't bear it anymore and said sternly: "It's important. If you miss Yang Xiang's affairs, your dog slave will be in danger."
Yang Guozhong is so arrogant and domineering. Of course, his gatekeeper is not a kind man and a trusted woman. He smiled and said, "Get this dog official out."
Several servants came up and wanted to leave Jiwen. Jiwen was helpless and could not really fight and entangle with these lowly people. He could only shake his sleeves: "Okay, okay, I'll go."
He secretly hated him and left the Yang Mansion gate. Just as he was leaving, a thought suddenly flashed out of his mind: He ran around the powerful and powerful people, from Li Linfu to Ye Chang to Yang Guozhong to the current An Lushan, so that he could one day be able to dominate the world?
Now, he is only one step away from this purpose. The opportunity to reach the top is right in front of him. How could he give up for some humiliation?
Thinking of this, Ji Wen turned around and stepped into Yang Guozhong's mansion again.
This time Ji Wen finally met Yang Guozhong. The two of them discussed secretly what happened, but no one knew, but they knew that Yang Guozhong had sent Ji Wen out in person.
It was probably because he got a reassurance from Ji Wen that Yang Guozhong felt a little relieved and had a good sleep that night. The next morning, he came to Lady Guo's mansion again. This time, Lady Guo did not push and block the situation, but went to Xingqing Palace with him.
"I heard that Ji Wen came to visit you yesterday, but it was a big fuss at your house. In the end, you sent him out... I wonder what happened?" asked Mrs. Guoguo.
"This guy is now close to An Lushan. An Lushan's Hu dog is very disrespectful to me... But he has a saying that An Lushan is easy to control, but Ye Chang is not easy to control. He is willing to help me get in touch with An Lushan and deal with Ye Chang together."
"Fatty man An?" Mrs. Guo thought of An Lushan like a fat pig and said disgustedly: "It's just a pig to be slaughtered, how can I deal with Ye Shiyi... What do they want to do?"
"The fight in Liaodong began." Yang Guozhong sneered: "Ye Chang was a stubborn border provocation, and the Bohai and Silla countries besieged him. An Lushan intends to seize the Jian'anzhou city under Ye Chang's rule, and come to me first to burn incense."
"Did you agree?"
"Why don't you agree? Ye Chang manages his people in the three borders, Liaodong, Yunnan and Anxi, but when it comes to military strength, An Lushan is still the first."
Mrs. Guo Guo only asked once, and heard that Yang Guozhong and An Lushan also reached a tacit understanding. Mrs. Guo Guo felt that she had greater confidence in dealing with Ye Chang this time and did not ask again.
The guards protecting the car heard teasing sounds from the car, and the laughter was very unrestrained, and even the pedestrians standing by the road to avoid them could be heard.
Seeing that it was about to arrive at Xingqing Palace, suddenly the sound of horse hooves came from behind. The guards in front of Xingqing Palace suddenly became nervous. They all held weapons and looked at the sound of horse hooves. A knight was rushing towards the carriage with a cloth bag on his back. Seeing Yang Guozhong's carriage, the knight shouted: "Grandpa Yang, Grandpa Yang, Jiangnan East Road urgently reported, Taizhou native Yuan Chao raised an army to rebel."
Yang Guozhong's car stopped, Yang Guozhong stretched out his head and looked at the knight, his face darkened: "It's just a few people gathering to cause trouble, where does it come from... Don't make a fuss?"
The knight was anxious: "Taizhou has been lost, Yuhang has been surrounded, and there are hundreds of thousands of thieves..."
"Stop the mouth" Yang Guozhong was also anxious. After all, the rebellion of the people was still the responsibility of the prime minister. How could he publicize it on this street? Will it not disturb people's hearts and make it uneasy in Chang'an City?
He was about to be scolded by the knight, and he heard the sound of horse hooves coming like raindrops, and another horse ran towards him: "The West Road of Jiangnan urgently reported that Fang Qing, a native of Shezhou, gathered people to plot against him, and had already captured Shezhou, with more than 100,000 people."
Yang Guozhong could no longer sit in the car. He shook his clothes and cursed: "Come on, take down these two rumor-mongering people, and then I will interrogate them carefully after I return home."
Before the words were finished, the third time the sound of horse hooves came, and another knight came to report: "Gong Yang, Chenzhuang, Jiangnan West Road, broke through Shuzhou, and raised troops to surround Raozhou."
There were three urgent reports in the intervening areas, and some people rebelled, and Yang Zhao couldn't hide it even if he wanted to cover it up. He changed his color and stood on the street, feeling that the pedestrians and people on the street were staring at him like arrows.
