Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

These lunatics...

Changsun Wuji flicked his sleeves: "Hmph, since that's the case, I won't persuade you anymore, so leave!"

With that said, Changsun Wuji walked away in a huff.

He was also embarrassed to settle accounts with Chen Chu. After all, Chen Chu was just making an opinion at the beginning, and it was he who took the initiative to spend [-] yuan to buy Zheng's linen business, so Chen Chu couldn't be blamed.

You can only consider yourself unlucky.

at the same time.

Cheng Yaojin and others returned to the mansion, spent all their financial resources, and began to buy up the linen industry sold cheaply by the big cloth owners.

Ordinarily, if someone buys the linen industry, the price should rise.

As everyone knows, when the big households saw that someone was willing to take over, they all took out the linen industry in their hands.

For a while, instead of picking up, the price dropped a bit.

This Coke ruined Cheng Yaojin and others.

A few people discussed for a while, so they borrowed money everywhere, and continued to make big purchases, as much as they wanted.

……

Chapter 353 The Emperor's Wrath

Imperial City.

Censorship Desk.

Several censors sat in the main room.

An old censor with clean hair and beard stroked his beard and asked, "Have you prepared all your impeachment memorials?"

A dozen or so people below said in unison, "It's all done."

The old censor said: "Ping Xibo Chen Chu, as a son-in-law and a person with a title, but he is dedicated to making money as a businessman, making money is nothing more than making money, but he used the Xi Datang Company to cause such a big mess. It's simply unreasonable... As the censor, how can I watch countless people displaced, how can I see those small merchants being forced to ruin their families, and now, I will report this matter to His Majesty and make it known to the world. , is not a good thing, but a disaster, the imperial court must immediately issue an order to ban cotton cloth."

As far as flat chest is concerned, is cotton a good thing?

Nature is a good thing.

Even the censors present had to admit that cotton cloth was many times superior to linen cloth.

But so what.

Most of the people present had connections with big cloth households like the Zheng family.

Now, the big households have a unified understanding, that is, they have been messed with by the cotton cloth of the West Datang Company, and they must find the place back.

In addition, the Zheng family is about to produce its own cotton cloth. If the imperial court comes forward at this time and kills the West Datang Company with a stick, then the future cotton cloth business will be owned by big families like the Zheng family.

Therefore, there is a series of these gangs of censors.

At this time, the old censor stood up and said: "Everyone, we are duty-bound to deal with this matter. Today, His Majesty is handling political affairs in the Ganlu Hall, so we will take the memorial and go to the Ganlu Hall to impeach Ping Xibo Chen Chu face to face. "

"it is good!"

"It's up to Mr. Zhang."

"I will go."

Everyone got up one after another, followed Lao Zhang Yushi out, and went straight to Ganlu Hall.

Originally, there were several ways for the censor to impeach officials. Generally speaking, it was to hand in the drafted memorial, and after the prime minister and the emperor read it, they would deal with it in the early court.The other is to go directly to the emperor for impeachment regardless of the three sevens and twenty-one.

Chen Chu is not a person who has committed any serious crimes, and all the things that the West Datang Company has done are not considered to be major events involving the collapse of the sky.

But Lao Zhang Yushi and others deliberately made the matter big, so they entangled so many people and planned to go to the emperor to impeach Chen Chu face to face.

……

Ganlu Temple.

The valet Gao Chen was dozing off at the door.

As a close servant, he had to serve Li Er and never rested day and night.

Therefore, it is good to have a short rest.

At this moment, when Gao Chen opened his eyes, he saw a black mass of heads in front of him.

"oops……"

Gao Chen was startled.

He hurriedly asked: "Master Zhang, do you want to meet His Majesty?"

Old Zhang Yushi nodded: "Gao Gonggong, we have something very important to meet with His Majesty, please inform me."

It became difficult: "Your Majesty is taking a rest at the moment, I'm afraid it will be half an hour later."

Old Zhang Yushi hurriedly said: "I can't wait any longer. This is a matter of human life and the stability of the society. Please also report to Eunuch Gao..."

"what……"

Gao Chen was taken aback.

It turned out to be such a big deal?

He quickly turned around and ran into the Manna Hall.

In the Hall of Ganlu.

Li Er was resting on the couch.

Gao Chen ran in and whispered, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Li Er opened his eyes at once, sat up with an unhappy face, and reprimanded: "Gao Chen, you are getting more and more unruly."

Gao Chen was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he quickly explained: "Your Majesty, I'm guilty of capital punishment... It's just that Zhang Yushi and a dozen other people were outside, saying that human life is at stake and the stability of the country is at stake. I really deserve to die if I risk my life to disturb Your Majesty." ..."

"Huh? There are other things, hurry up, let them in..."

Li Er panicked.

More than a dozen censors were dispatched, could it be that something happened to the senior officials above the second rank in the court?

Immediately, more than a dozen censors, including Lao Zhang Yushi, filed into the hall.

Li Er was a little nervous, and asked: "Zhang Aiqing, you came here in a hurry, anxious to see me, but what's the important thing?"

Zhang Yushi hurriedly presented a bunch of memorials, and then said loudly: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the royal family recruited horses, and the court conferred titles, all for the purpose of enabling those who received the title to serve the court wholeheartedly, benefit the people, and stabilize the country and society. , Now, there is a monster in my Tang Dynasty, that is Ping Xibo Chen Chu, Chen Chu, as a son-in-law, is also Ping Xibo, he didn't think about benefiting the people all over the world, and actually set up a Western Datang Company, using cotton cloth to deceive people To confuse the crowd and disturb the order. Nowadays, everyone pursues cotton cloth, but no one cares about the linen cloth. As a result, countless people who grow hemp have no livelihood, and even become homeless. Countless linen merchants' employees have no jobs and can only be displaced. ... Among other things, during this period of time, Chang'an City has been in a mess... The cause is all the cotton cloth of the West Datang Company, please learn from your majesty, if you continue to indulge, I am afraid that the West Datang Company and Naping Xibo Chen Chu Will be even more arrogant, lawless..."

"I waited today to impeach Chen Chu."

"Your Majesty, please be the master of the people."

"Seconded!"

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

Behind him, a group of censors also followed suit.

Li Er stood in front of the table, flipped through the thick pile of memorials, and asked coldly, "Just for this?"

Ok?

Lao Zhang Yushi and others were overjoyed.

Sure enough, His Majesty was already very angry when he heard about this.

Old Zhang Yushi then added fuel and jealousy: "Your Majesty, this matter seems to be a small matter, but it is a big matter. If something happens to the people, I'm afraid there will be even greater chaos..."

"Shut up you!"

Before Lao Zhang Yushi finished speaking, he was roughly interrupted by Li Er.

what?

Old Zhang Yushi was taken aback.

But I saw Li Er smashing those memorials on the ground, and then roared angrily: "Bastards, a bunch of bastards... you, I raise you with so much lumi every year, and raise a bunch of waste. You put it away and take care of it!" It is unreasonable to ignore the supervisory duties, but to stare at a West Datang Company...Where were you when those cloth merchants were hoarding and endangering the interests of the people? Now, the West Datang Company has invented cotton cloth and solved the problem of cloth Crisis, you jumped out to accuse Xidatang Company and Chen Chu instead? Do you think I am blind?"

Li Er's anger could hardly be suppressed.

A group of censors were frightened and trembled.

Old Zhang Yushi hurriedly said: "But, Your Majesty, the cotton cloth of the West Datang Company has already affected the livelihood of the common people."

Snapped.

Li Er turned around, took out a bill, threw it on Lao Zhang Yushi's face, and roared: "You should take a good look at it yourself, this is a memorial from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, saying that Cheng Zhijie, Qin Shubao and others have already I tried my best to buy the linen industry and saved the livelihood of the common people. As officials in the same dynasty, they are working hard to help me stabilize the overall situation. If you look at you rubbish again, get out, I don't want to see you for a moment..."

Lao Zhang Yushi and others were stunned, and then saw that Li Er had the urge to kill someone, and everyone ran away like flying.

……

Chapter 354

After the censors ran away, Li Er was very angry.

"This bunch of trash..."

"It's more than enough to succeed than to fail!"

"Impeaching Chen Chu is nothing more than impeaching the West Datang Company! The West Datang Company owns my shares. Once the West Datang Company is sealed up, wouldn't my internal treasury also have no source of income!"

"Gao Chen..."

Li Er suddenly shouted.

Gao Chen hurried over: "Your Majesty, I'm here."

Li Er said in a deep voice: "I see that these censors are all very free. It just so happens that after the beginning of spring, the court has nothing to do. Send these guys to various departments for inspection."

The administrative regions of Datang are prefectures and counties, but for the convenience of supervision, ten provinces are also divided.

Each road has an inspection censor, and these censors are basically set there.

People like Lao Zhang Yushi were originally very popular figures in the court, but now once they go down to the local road, they will lose the possibility of coming back.

Li Er was really angry this time.

I don't know if he was angry because someone interrupted his lunch break, or if someone wanted to cut off his source of income from the internal treasury.

When Gao Chen heard this, his eyes widened.

It is very rare in this dynasty to expel more than a dozen censors in a row.

He asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to inform the three provinces about this matter?"

Li Er waved his hand: "What's the matter with three provinces and three provinces, this matter, what I said is..."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Gao Chen hastily agreed.

It seems that His Majesty is really angry this time.

At this time, Li Er asked again: "This time, it is really unwise for Cheng Zhijie and others to spend all their property to buy up the linen industry sold cheaply by big households. After all, now everyone with a discerning eye knows that linen is about to be replaced by cotton. Do it now." The linen business can only lose money, Gao Chen, go and find out, and see if Cheng Zhijie and others are willing, or are they bewitched by Chen Chu..."

Mr. Li Er felt that this matter was abnormal.

When everyone is selling the linen industry, several of his courtiers are buying frantically.

Gao Chen said softly: "Your Majesty, I have asked Baiqi to inquire about this matter. General Cheng and others bought the linen industry out of their own will, and no one has bewitched them..."

"Oh?" Li Er was stunned, his face full of curiosity, "So, I blamed Chen Chu for this matter... Forget it, since Cheng Zhijie and others volunteered, let them go, anyway, they are not short of money, It is also a good thing to be able to stabilize the people..."

Li Er said that he no longer cares about this matter.

……

evening.

As the sun sets, the golden sun shines on the land of Shanzhou.

Shanzhou, which was originally desolate and desolate, is now full of people coming and going, and there are people everywhere in the fields.

All of this is because the West Datang Company is here.

A huge convoy left Shanzhou City and headed straight for Tubo.
