In the thirteenth year of Tianbao, in early July, the victory of the Battle of Talas was sent to the court.

Chang'an, Yang's Mansion.

In the huge main hall, many heads of the family tribe from Chang'an City gathered, and any one of them was pulled out from them, all of which were famous figures.

These people gathered together, bowed and looked inside, waiting for the master to appear.

Soon, a tall and majestic middle-aged man stepped into the hall from the back compartment.

The nobles in the hall saw the visitors, stood up one after another and praised: "Yang Youxiong."

Yang Guozhong nodded, walked to the seat and sat down.

Seeing Yang Guozhong silent, everyone in the hall looked at each other. The head of the Xue family in Hedong finally couldn't help but say: "Right Prime Minister, the Anxi Army's capture of Talas City is a rare victory in the Tang Dynasty in recent years."

Although it was a great victory, none of the people in the hall had a look of pleasure on their faces.

Yang Guozhong looked up at the head of the Xue family and replied: "Xue Zhongcheng, Talas has been lost and regained the power of the Tang Dynasty. The saint was ecstatic when he heard this news and had not closed his eyes for a day and a night."

When Xue Zhongcheng heard this, his face became even more worried and bowed and said, "Right Prime Minister, Prince Zhou first pacified Shazhou, then killed the rebellion, then attacked the false Buddhas, and now he recovered Talas. It is really a matter of merit in history and is in the limelight."

Yang Guozhong's face twitched a few times.

While observing Yang Guozhong's expression, Xue Zhongcheng said, "I heard from someone in the palace that Your Majesty cherishes his talents and intends to transfer Prince Zhou from Anxi back to Chang'an and then entrust him with important tasks."

Hearing this, Yang Guozhong finally couldn't bear it anymore and slapped the desk with a slap.

Seeing this, Xue Zhongcheng exchanged a wink with the people around him and smiled.

Yang Guozhong was indignant: "It was clearly written in the Shazhou war report that the person who led the troops to make plans was Guo Ziyi, the envoy of the Moli army. Zhou Jun did nothing and achieved great achievements. As for killing the rebellious party, it was even more joke. Is it rare among the border troops to kill a group of barbarians who could not read the word ", and to use it as a way to make a fortune.

Someone in the hall heard this and whispered: "The Anxi Army cannot make a false decision to recover Talas, after all, Gao Xianzhi was once ruled by the great cannibals."

Yang Guozhong said angrily: "Gao Xianzhi is also a fool! The 20,000 Anxi Army and tens of thousands of followers can't defeat a group of Fanzis from the west!"

Everyone was so angry that they kept silent when they saw Yang Guozhong being moved.

After a while, Xue Zhongcheng said to Yang Guozhong: "Right Prime Minister, no matter what, Your Majesty intends to transfer Zhou's Concubine back to Chang'an. It is always true that if Zhou's Concubine returns to Chang'an, you may be..."

Yang Guozhong sneered: "What can he do when he comes back? Can Zhou Jun still be on the stage?"

Xue Zhongcheng lowered his voice: "Zhou Junsheng Junzhenglong, Your Majesty may really lead him into the court..."

Yang Guozhong: "Zhou Jun is the son-in-law. According to the ancestral system, how can he enter the court and become an official?"

Xue Zhongcheng looked at Yang Guozhong: "According to the ancestral system, the prince-consort should not be released, nor should he lead troops. His Majesty made all the examples for Zhou Jun alone. In this way, it would not be impossible for His Majesty to issue an order to lead him into the court as an official."

When Yang Guozhong heard this, he was stunned on the spot and then fell into a long silence.

Xue Zhongcheng: "Zhou Jun was born in a humble background and was originally a Nuyalang, so he was not a fellow traveler with us at all. In the Daji Commercial Road, he killed the sons of aristocratic families in the name of rectifying the matter, which is the best proof. If such a person is allowed to return to Chang'an, we may not be able to lose."

Yang Guozhong sighed lightly: "The saint believed deeply in Zhou Jun that Princess Wanchun and the Imperial Concubine were close friends in the boudoir. How easy was it to make Zhou Jun lose his holy family?"

Xue Zhongcheng: "It is very difficult to defeat Zhou Jun in one fell swoop, but if you just want him not to enter Chang'an, you can give it a try."

Yang Guozhong exclaimed and then asked, "How do you say this?"

Xue Zhongcheng: "As long as you advise the saints, it means that the situation in Anxi is complicated, and a virtuous person must be in charge to deal with the strategy, and Zhou Jun is the best candidate."

Yang Guozhong: "Will the saint agree?"

Xue Zhongcheng: "There are dozens of neighboring countries around Anxi, including Dashi, Tubo, Uighur, etc. Previously, several military governors, such as Tang Jiahui, Gao Xianzhi, etc., failed to defend the situation in Anxi. The sage knew in his heart that the situation here was complicated, and looking at the court, only Zhou Jun was able to do this position."

Yang Guozhong snorted coldly, but his expression relaxed.

Xue Zhongcheng: "As long as Zhou Jun is kept in Anxi, he will not be able to return to Chang'an, nor will he threaten the right prime minister, and naturally he will not be in a dilemma with us."

Yang Guozhong frowned, carefully weighed the pros and cons, and finally nodded slightly.

When Xue Zhongcheng saw Yang Guozhong agreeing, he said, "Right Prime Minister, there is another matter."

Yang Guozhong: "What's the matter?"

Xue Zhongcheng: "If you convince Your Majesty and let Zhou Jun stay in Anxi, then his former deputy commander of Longyou Promotion and Demotion should also be suspended."

Yang Guozhong: "The envoy of the Longyou pro-dismissal?"

Seeing that Yang Guozhong had not reacted yet, Xue Zhongcheng had to wake up and said, "Shazhou..."

Yang Guozhong woke up from a dream: "What you want to talk about is the Dachi Commercial Road."

Xue Zhongcheng nodded: "The sage originally appointed Zhou Jun as the sage to promote and demote Zhou Jun and Longyou, hoping to rebuild the Daji Commercial Road, but if the latter stayed in Anxi, the repair and management of the Daji Commercial Road should naturally be appointed another person."

Hearing this, no matter how slow Yang Guozhong was, he understood what the group of people in front of him wanted to do.

Yang Guozhong remembered Li Longji's previous hatred for the Dachi Commercial Road rebels, and unconsciously shivered. He spoke to the people in the hall, "The sage values ​​Dachi Commercial Road. This matter is the most sensitive. It is best not to have this idea... Besides, aren't you all selling houses recently? Do you still feel that the money you earn is not enough?"

When it comes to the word "selling a house", many prominent people in the hall complain.

Someone said: "The clan was in Jinzhou, and Puzhou collected some land and spent a lot of money to build a house. At first, it was sold smoothly. Since the beginning of the year, the flood has accumulated, and the house has been soaked and collapsed, and all the money has returned."

Someone said: "Gyeonggi Province, Gunnei Road, Hadong Road, Henan Road and other places have flooded and droughts, and the disasters are getting worse and worse. People have used their money to buy food. Some places even have people covered their belly. Who will buy a house again?"

Someone said, "If we continue to lose like this, our property will almost be paid off... Look, only Dazhi Commercial Road is a profitable business."

Listening to everyone's talk, Yang Guozhong shook his head first and then said: "When Wang Hui operated the Daji business road, it was because of the flood of private enterprises and the government's profits, which eventually caused the saints to be furious and implicated countless people. Can you not have a long memory of this? "

Many families in the hall are prominent, and they all praise them when they hear this.

Xue Zhongcheng also hurriedly said to Yang Guozhong: "When Wang Hui was operating, the Daji business road was in chaos because the many families who went to Shazhou to do business did not select a leader, which made everyone disagreed with each other and acted recklessly, and eventually made the situation out of control."

After pausing for a moment, Xue Zhongcheng bowed to Yang Guozhong and said, "This time, we have discussed the operation of Daji Commercial Road. We plan to adopt the method of a commercial bank. We should take the right prime minister as the leader, and we will be the second."

When Yang Guozhong heard this, he became interested: "What's the solution?"

Xue Zhongcheng: "The planning, opening and operation of Daji Commercial Road, whenever the decision-making matters involve, the right prime minister is the main one. In the right prime minister's mansion, one person can be sent as the boss to take charge of all matters of Daji Commercial Road. We are only responsible for spending money and efforts, and then participating in the diversion and ignore any other matters."

Yang Guozhong had some calculations and found that this matter was profitable and had great power. He didn't have to worry about losing control of the trade route like Wang Hui.

After thinking about it, Yang Guozhong responded and said to everyone in the hall, let us come up with a strategy and then give advice to the saints.

For a moment, everyone was very happy.
