Chapter 1936 Yang Zhao’s Worries!
In another life, in another world, with huge force and tens of thousands of tons of gold, another empire beyond the ocean made its currency become the world currency.
Now in terms of force, the Tang Dynasty is fully capable of suppressing other countries. In terms of gold, the 250,000 tons of gold are even larger than the empire's gold reserves in memory. No matter how you look at it, the Tang Dynasty is Have the ability to issue world currency!
"The world's currency..."
Opposite him, when he heard those four words from Wang Chong's mouth, Yang Zhao's eyes lit up and his heart became clear:
"My dear brother, you said it well, you said it well! It's the world's currency, it's the world's currency..."
Yang Zhao murmured to himself.
Before, he only knew that it was an instinctive wish to let gold dollar coupons circulate in various countries, but Yang Zhao was also confused as to how to describe such gold dollar coupons. And when Wang Chong said "world currency", Yang Zhao felt as if he had been enlightened and had been spoken to his heart. He understood it all at once.
Wang Chong just smiled when he heard this. He had his own selfish motives for helping Yang Zhao.
A catastrophe is coming and a catastrophe is about to occur. Under such circumstances, Yang Zhao may not be able to promote the gold and dollar coupons to the world, at least not in terms of time. But taking this as an opportunity, maybe a new world government with Datang as the core and governing the entire land world can be truly established in the future!
The gold dollar certificate is a beginning, a wedge, laying the foundation for the future world of mankind.
Of course, these are just Wang Chong's thoughts buried deep in his heart, and he has never mentioned them to anyone.
"By the way, it's hard for eldest brother to come to my place usually. Besides, eldest brother must also be busy with work recently. Did something happen this time?"
Wang Chong took a sip of the fragrant tea and suddenly asked. As he spoke, he glanced at Yang Zhao.
Buzz!
Sure enough, after hearing Wang Chong's words, Yang Zhao looked calm on the surface, but his body trembled slightly involuntarily. Wang Chong suddenly felt enlightened and knew that his feeling was not wrong.
When Yang Zhao first came in, he looked worried. Later, although he and Wang Chong were chatting and laughing, his brows were always slightly furrowed, obviously because he came here for something.
"Oh, dear brother, you have a quick mind and your eyes are like a mirror. Brother Yu, I really can't hide anything from you."
Yang Zhao hesitated for a moment, knowing that he could hide nothing from Wang Chong, so he simply admitted:
"Brother Yu came here this time to really ask for something."
Yang Zhao said with a sad face. As he spoke, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
Yang Zhao confessed so readily, which actually surprised Wang Chong.
"Now the world is at peace, and the Tang Dynasty is at its peak. My eldest brother has also done a great job in his tenure as Taifuqing. Compared with previous years, the national treasury has become much thicker. Even I have heard about this. How can I still do it? Is there anything I can worry about, big brother?"
Wang Chong asked curiously.
Judging from Yang Zhao's reaction, it doesn't seem like a small matter, but the three kings have been leveled, King Qi has fallen, Dashi has been conquered, and when Yang Zhao is favored by the Holy Emperor, Concubine Taizhen is taking care of her in the harem, basically both the government and the public are No opponent can truly sit back and relax. What else could make him so uneasy?
"I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in this position as Grand Governor for a long time."
Yang Zhao sighed and said with a worried look on his face.
"How can it be?!"
Wang Chong raised his eyebrows. This time it was his turn to be surprised.
Although Yang Zhao was not very careful before meeting him, after entering the palace, he was conscientious and conscientious. There was definitely nothing wrong with him. Could it be a harem dispute? Or maybe the emperor knew about Yang Zhao's previous gambling games with the maids and eunuchs in the palace?
Or was he accused of misappropriating a small amount of money to lend money at a private bank?
"No, it has nothing to do with that!"
Yang Zhao saw Wang Chong's expression and knew what he was thinking. He quickly shook his head and denied it:
"If that's the case, that's okay. At least, I'll understand it."
"You mean the Holy Emperor..., what's going on?"
Wang Chong frowned and said.
He led the Western Expedition for about six months. During this period, the Tang Dynasty should have been peaceful. Could it be that something happened during his absence that he didn't know about?
Moreover, what does "knowing it to death" mean?
What does Yang Zhao mean by this?
Wang Chong is also a little confused now.
"Oh, this matter... I don't know how to talk about it."
Yang Zhao had a sad face, and he no longer tried to hide it in front of Wang Chong, his resourceful sworn brother. In fact, he appeared here originally hoping to get help from Wang Chong:
"I have been the Taifu for more than two years, and I have worked conscientiously. Although I am confused about small things, I am never confused about big things. My dear brother, you can also see this. Your Majesty has never said anything about me, but in the past few months, Come, but something is wrong.”
"It really has something to do with His Majesty."
Wang Chong frowned slightly, a thought flashed through his mind, but he did not interrupt Yang Zhao's words.
"... When I was the Governor, Your Majesty never asked me about it before. But starting a few months ago, something suddenly went wrong. Once, without any warning, His Majesty suddenly started asking me about the inventory of the Tang Dynasty. You know, This has never happened before."
Yang Zhao didn't notice Wang Chong's expression and continued to talk to himself:
"I thought His Majesty was just acting on a whim, so I didn't pay much attention to it, but then something went wrong. In front of the civil and military officials of the court, His Majesty asked me several times later."
When Wang Chong heard this, his heart suddenly shook. Asking Yang Zhao about the treasury in front of the civil and military officials of the imperial court, to a certain extent, represents distrust. No wonder Yang Zhao felt uneasy.
"Perhaps you are just overthinking. Just because His Majesty rarely asks questions does not mean that he never asks questions. Moreover, war consumes a lot of national funds. I just happened to find a treasure house of food in the west. His Majesty was touched. Occasionally, he asked on a whim. This matter doesn’t mean anything.”
Wang Chong said.
"That's not the case at all! These things happened before you discovered the treasure trove of food. In addition, just a few months ago, without any warning and without any prior notice, His Majesty suddenly appeared at my residence and asked me to Open the treasury and see the gold and silver in the treasury.”
"Brother, you know, just like a gentleman who cooks far away, the kings of the Tang Dynasty have never entered the treasury to check it in person. Although I am surprised, I cannot violate the king's order, so I can only open the treasury and take His Majesty to check it."
"But just after entering the treasury and not taking a few steps, His Majesty suddenly changed his mind and said he didn't want to see it anymore. Then he walked away, leaving me alone there without knowing what happened."
Yang Zhao said in a deep voice, frowning more and more:
"It's fine once, but this situation has happened at least three times in the past few months. His Majesty asked me to open the treasury door three times in succession, but he changed his mind midway and left suddenly."
"My dear brother, you are smarter than me. Tell me, is His Majesty already dissatisfied with me and wants to remove my governor?"
Wang Chong didn't speak. At that moment, he vaguely remembered something, but he couldn't capture it in a short time.
He knew how much Yang Zhao valued the Taifu Qing. It was reasonable for Yang Zhao to feel uneasy when such things happened one after another.
But for some reason, Wang Chong always felt that this matter was not that simple.
"It's not that your Majesty is dissatisfied with you. You have done a good job in the position of Taifu Qing. At least in the court, there is no one more qualified for this position than you for the time being. Moreover, I have not heard of this. The rumor. Your Majesty knows people and makes good use of them, and will not replace you without reason."
Wang Chong consoled him.
"My dear brother, it's not that I'm sensitive, have random thoughts, and scare myself. If it were just like this, I wouldn't immediately think that Your Majesty is dissatisfied with me. However, you know His Majesty's love for your empress. You even didn't hesitate to do so before. To oppose the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, in the past during the Three Kings Rebellion, His Majesty just retired behind the scenes, but now His Majesty is in charge of the court and personally attends the court affairs. However, Concubine Taizhen, except for the previous few times, in the past few months, His Majesty has never been there even once."
"I inquired from the old eunuchs in the cleaning room who usually drink together. Once, His Majesty drove to Yuzhen Palace, but suddenly changed his mind halfway and returned to Taiji Palace."
"My dear brother, I am not secretive in front of you. I am afraid that no one in the civil and military circles in the dynasty does not understand how I got my position as Taifu Qing. I am the elder brother and the younger sister. I am here today entirely because of My Majesty is favored by Your Majesty, but nothing is eternal. Men like the new and hate the old, especially kings. Do you think His Majesty is tired of His Majesty?"
Yang Zhao said, with a worried look on his face. He looked at Wang Chong subconsciously and had no idea at all.
From the moment he arrived in the capital, Yang Zhao came here for fame and wealth. All the bustle in the world is for benefit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit.
This is what Emperor Taizong said, so Yang Zhao never felt that there was anything wrong with pursuing fame and fortune and wanting to keep his position as Tai Fuqing. However, in comparison, Yang Zhao was most worried about his sister, Concubine Taizhen, falling out of favor.
With the Grand Prince gone, he could make a comeback and obtain other official positions, but if his sister fell out of favor, everything would really be over.
Just because of this, Yang Zhao could hardly sleep at night these days. After thinking for a long time, he still found Wang Chong for help.
"My dear brother, you have just been granted the title of Lord Protector, given the Imperial Dragon Mace, and the title of Lingyan Pavilion. This is the time when you are most valued by His Majesty. No matter what, you must find a way to help Brother Yu and the Empress!"
When Yang Zhao spoke to the end, his eyes were full of hope, and he almost put all his hopes on Wang Chong.
On the other side, Wang Chong couldn't help but feel that Yang Zhao was making a fuss and scaring himself at first, but after hearing this, he felt more and more that something was wrong.
"Brother, do you even feel this way?"
Wang Chong frowned and said.
The matter of Concubine Taizhen was not trivial. Yang Zhao talked about everything in front of him, talking about the past and the present, but the matter of Concubine Taizhen was rarely mentioned. When Yang Zhao came to find him at this time, I am afraid it was not only his own worry, but also his concern. I'm afraid that the empress of Yuzhen Palace has the same worries, so that's why Yang Zhao appears here!
