Great Tang Broom Star

  Chapter 35 Jia Ping'an Routine Chang'an

  Xu Jingzong got the news and hurried to Chang'an City.

  The bamboo shop has been renovated and is ready to open, but Liao Quan didn't care about it. After meeting Xu Jingzong, the first thing he mentioned was Jia Ping'an.

   "It is said that His Majesty is ill, so Baiqi came to take him, but there is no news so far."

   Baiqi is the emperor's man, Liao Quan dare not go to spy on the news.

  Xu Jingzong's face was a little darkened by the sun. He looked at the store and saw Liu Jia reciting something there with a worried face, so he scolded: "When is it, and what business are you still in the mood for?"

   Liu Jia said with a mournful face: "Jia Langjun said before he left, hold on, don't waste time."

  Xu Jingzong was stunned, "Steady the old man and know that this is to let the business go ahead. What do you mean by not being sloppy? Sway...wave..."

  Liu Jia said: "I'm afraid he is worried about who will go whoring in the brothel, so he said don't waste time."

   "Let's do it." Xu Jingzong was angry before, but now he was sober, and said: "If it is done, the people of Huazhou will miss the benefits of safety, so that the old man can also say more good things for him with His Majesty."

   Turning around, Xu Jingzong was about to enter the palace to ask for an audience, and interceded for Master Jia.

  When he was standing outside the palace gate, Ma Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, quietly appeared beside him.

  Ma Yuan had a good beard, so he was known as the bearded man. Before speaking, the corner of his mouth twitched, showing some disdain, "The old man has been waiting for you."

   "Waiting for the old man to die for you?" Xu Jingzong opened his tongue.

   When it comes to hurting people, who was he afraid of, Old Xu?

Ma Yuan smiled, and the corner of his mouth twitched again, "Jia Ping'an must have made a mistake when he came to Chang'an City, and the pass must be approved by the state government. After he arrived in Chang'an City, His Majesty fell ill immediately, and this is your fault. This old man has always wanted to impeach you, but he couldn’t find an opportunity. This time, this old man will wait until you can’t sit still and come to Chang’an to plead for mercy. No way... No way, how can this old man wash away the humiliation of the past!”

—Passing the office: If the people of the Tang Dynasty want to go out of the prefecture and county to do business, they must apply to the village or the square. After the village or the square is checked, it will be reported to the county; If the approval from the state is correct, the pass will be issued, and the holder can use the pass to travel... In a word, it is really troublesome to go abroad these days.

  Back then, Old Xu dared to say anything when he opened his mouth. Once he had a dispute with Ma Yuan, he scolded Ma Yuan, saying that he knew how to flatter Changsun Wuji and others all day long.

  At that time, Ma Yuan's face was as red as a monkey's butt. The key is that Xu Jingzong even said: "Your face is like a monkey's butt."

   What a shame!

  He relied on the small circle to get promoted all the way, but so what?

  Now Feng Shui turns, and it's Lao Xu's turn to be unlucky.

  The old enemy appeared, which chilled Xu Jingzong's heart.

   Ma Yuan makes a move, and then many enemies will make a move, the old man is in danger!

   Later, the two entered the palace.

  The monarch and his ministers were all there, looking at the two of them with calm expressions.

   Ma Yuan saluted, "Your Majesty, I impeached Xu Jingzong, the governor of Huazhou. Xu Jingzong knew that the broom star was powerful, but deliberately allowed him to come to Chang'an, causing His Majesty to fall ill. Xu Jingzong's intentions are ulterior motives, and his intentions should be punished!"

  Changsun Wuji was dumbfounded.

  Chu Suiliang smiled slightly.

  Most of Li Zhi who had 'recovered' looked calm.

   "Your Majesty..."

  Xu Jingzong said in grief and indignation: "Jia Ping'an is not a broom star. He was in Huazhou with the minister, and the minister knows that this son is honest..."

  Good-natured?

   Li Zhi frowned.

   "The minister has been with him for a long time, but he has never been unlucky. In Huazhou, a businessman Liu Jia threw Jia Pingan down. In the end, he was unlucky and made a fortune. Your Majesty knows all about it. Your Majesty..."

  Xu Jingzong knelt down, bowed his head and said: "Jia Ping'an came to Chang'an City this time for the well-being of the people in Huazhou...bamboo."

"Your Majesty, I know about that matter." Ma Yuan had the opportunity to deal with Xu Jingzong, of course he had made enough preparations, and he came out of the shift and said: "Then Jia Ping'an deceived Xu Jingzong and made the whole Huazhou make bamboo ware. Your Majesty, if those bamboo ware I can't sell it... The whole area of ​​Huazhou is about to boil. How can those people be reconciled to wasting money and food for nothing? I dare not think about the consequences..."

  Eldest Sun Wuji sat watching his subordinates impeach Xu Jingzong, quite comfortable, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but go out of the shift and said: "Is that true?"

   It is not up to him, a big boss, to take care of the affairs of Yizhou, but the consequences of this matter are not light. In particular, Huazhou is not far from Chang'an, and it can be called the gateway of Chang'an. If there is a change in Huazhou, Chang'an will not be peaceful.

Ma Yuan nodded, "My grandson, this matter is true. Xu Jingzong listened to Jia Ping'an's slander. At this moment, Huazhou bamboo wares have entered Chang'an on a large scale, and they are preparing to open in Dongshi. The lower officials are worried... once no one cares, Huazhou will change. .”

  Xu Jingzong gritted his teeth and said: "This batch of bamboo wares is bought by the old man who sold his family property. Even if it is a loss, it is still the old man's loss. Ma Yuan, you are a dog and a mouse, meddling in your own business."

  Ma Yuan smiled, and said confidently: "But the old man learned that Huazhou is still making bamboo wares. Could it be that you, Xu Jingzong, bought those too?"

  Xu Jingzong was speechless.

   He wanted to call it a stop later, but Jia Pingan reassured him that if he couldn't sell it, he would eat it all.

   But now... Jia Pingan can't eat it anymore. Even if he, Old Xu, transforms into an iron-eating beast, he still can't eat so many bamboo utensils.

  —The iron-eating beast is the later panda, and it is distributed in the Qinling generation at this moment. Moreover, the giant pandas in Qinling Mountains are not cute creatures locked in the garden and relying on selling cuteness for a living, they are ruthless characters who can hunt down wolves and leopards for several hills.

   He gritted his teeth and said, "If something goes wrong, minister...chen..."

  Ma Yuan sighed, "Your property has been sold, what else can you do?"

   Could you, Xu Jingzong, still sell yourself?

  Xu Jingzong: "..."

   Li Zhi was silent.

  Changsun Wuji frowned, "Go and have a look."

   Li Zhi nodded, and Wang Zhongliang seemed to go too.

  He went all the way to Dongshi.

   "It's so lively!"

   Today's Dongshi people are all heading in one direction, and Wang Zhongliang is struggling to squeeze forward step by step.

   When he arrived at the bamboo shop, he saw Liu Jia standing on a table, holding a bamboo chair in his hand, and shouting frantically.

   "One bamboo chair with 15 Wen, 2 with 29 Wen, and 3 with 42 Wen..."

Well!

  Can you still sell things like this?

  The pure Datang people feel that this price is quite attractive at the moment.

  Buying two chairs can save one penny, and three chairs can even save three pennies.

  This is not bad!

  Liu Jia took out a piece of paper and glanced at it, then continued to shout: "Big discount, big discount, the eldest sister will not marry the second sister!"

   Poof!

  Many people around laughed.

   "Look this way, look this way, the bamboo wares in Huazhou are prisons."

   Someone has already rushed over, asking for the price, and then making a purchase.

crazy!

  Wang Zhongliang couldn't help shaking his head slightly, feeling that those people's concentration was too weak.

   "Water is flowing, fish are swimming, don't worry if you have a Huazhou fishing rod in hand."

  A fishing rod was bent badly in Liu Jia's hands, but it didn't break.

   "Someone buys one!"

  Chang'an City has nothing else, there are many ditches, and there are many fish in the moat outside.

   "A certain buy two!"

  Wang Zhongliang was guided by the fiery atmosphere of the scene, and his heart was about to move.

   "Take a look and you won't suffer, try it and you won't be fooled, pass by, don't miss it! Huazhou bamboo, the best in the world!"

  Liu Guan glanced at the paper again, and he yelled very smoothly.

   boiled.

  Changan people have never seen such sales methods before, they were dizzy by the routine, and flooded the shops in an instant.

  …

  In the palace, where Xu Jingzong was kneeling, Ma Yuan stood beside him calmly.

   Li Zhi was pondering.

   Just now Ma Yuan proposed to throw Lao Xu to the south, which is rooting out.

   Very bold!

   But Ma Yuan’s latter suggestion was even more vicious. He proposed to build a pagoda in Chang’an City, let Xuanzang be stationed there, and suppress Jia Ping’an while translating scriptures.

  The former one is to tease Lao Xu, and the latter one is to curry favor with Li Zhi.

   After a dispute, Lao Xu had no capital and was defeated, so he could only wait for Li Zhi's decision.

   Li Zhi pondered...

   There was a sound of footsteps.

   "Your Majesty!"

  Wang Zhongliang is back.

  Everyone turned their heads, all stunned.

   This man will come back when he comes back, but he has a bamboo broom in his hand, two bamboo baskets on his shoulders, and a few bamboo utensils hanging around his neck...

   Did you go shopping?

   "Your Majesty, my servant went to Dongshi and saw that the bamboo shop was selling..."

  Wang Zhongliang felt as if he had experienced a catastrophe, but the excitement still remained in his mind.

   "Then Liu Jia is shouting, big discount, big discount, the eldest sister will not marry the second sister..."

  The monarch and his ministers were all stunned.

   Poof!

   I don't know who laughed first, and then the officials laughed wildly.

   "What did you shout later... look here, look here, the bamboo wares in Huazhou are prisons."

  The smiles of the monarch and ministers gradually froze.

   "Take a look and you won't suffer, try it and you won't be fooled, pass by, don't miss it! Huazhou bamboo, the best in the world!"

   "When the servant heard this, he couldn't help it. Somehow, he squeezed in with others and bought a bunch of things... When the servant came out, the store was already sold out..."

   Ma Yuan's complexion turned red, his heart beat faster, and he felt that something was wrong.

   "Your Majesty..."

Xu Jingzong let out a mournful cry, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, these are all means that Jia Ping'an thought of painstakingly. For what? He didn't take a single penny, just for His Majesty, for the people of Huazhou. But he never expected that he would As soon as I entered Chang'an City, I was taken away by someone, my God! Minister... Chen..."

  Everyone was shocked to find that Xu Jingzong burst into tears.

   In the past, Lao Xu had been an official for decades, how have you ever seen him shed tears?

   Is this really sad?

   "Your Majesty..."

   Li Zhi couldn't help being moved.

   "Xu Qing, please stand up."

  Xu Jingzong felt that he could not get up, "Your Majesty, I feel wronged by Jia Ping'an!"

  Ma Yuan's heart beat fast, thumping, reminding him of his feeling when he saw a beauty.

   Now it depends on the emperor's decision.

  Li Zhi pondered for a while, "Then Jia Pingan's move is very beneficial to the people of Huazhou. I am not a stingy emperor..."

   That's great!

   Ma Yuan felt relieved, knowing this was not enough for Xu Jingzong to fight back.

  Old Xu, do you want to vent your anger?

hehe!

  He secretly smiled at Xu Jingzong.

  He got reliable news that he will be promoted in the near future, and he will overlook Xu Jingzong in the future.

  Let's fight again next time!

  Li Zhi suddenly smiled shyly, looking very immature, "Then Jia Pingan actually did me a favor a few days ago."

  Changsun Wuji frowned, "Your Majesty, you must be cautious about such matters."

  He felt that Li Zhi was fooling people.

Li Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked even more ashamed, "My body, the imperial doctor said, was caused by excessive mental effort, but it was not restrained. In addition... Baiqi met some people a few days ago, and those people followed The person who shouldn't follow was discovered by Jia Pingan."

  Changsun Wuji smiled slightly, then cupped his hands and said: "Then this is indeed a credit."

  The so-called restraint this time, all the monarchs and ministers knew, was an expression of the emperor's failure to get Li Ji back.

  There has been some turmoil in the small circle recently. Some people are staring at a few dignitaries who are a threat to the small circle, and are planning to use them to make an example of others.

  The emperor actually found out about this matter, and it was related to Jia Pingan...

  Changsun Wuji knew that this was impossible, so he retreated.

   "Let's go away."

  Li Zhi nodded, and when the officials bowed to leave, he seemed to suddenly think of something, glanced at Ma Yuan, and said, "Ma Yuan... is a bit frivolous, not good."

   Ma Yuan stood still.

  Because Changsun Wuji glanced at him with a blank expression.

  The matter of promotion...it's over.

  My heart hurts so much.

  Xu Jingzong got up...

   "The old man knows that evil cannot prevail against good, hahahaha!"

  In an instant, everyone's faces turned black!
