Chapter 341 Is anyone impeached?
Du Shaoqing knew that Yuan Gaisuwen was the big couple in Goguryeo, and was the first powerful minister, equivalent to the real power prime minister, but he did not know that the other party had already wiped out the Goguryeo Emperor Gao Jianwen, and basically he was using the emperor to order the princes.
The reason why he found Yuan Gai Suwen to cooperate was because he was interested in the other party's rights. When Du Shaoqing promised Emperor Li Er, he said that he would make enough money to support the Tang Dynasty with 300,000 soldiers. This was not a small number, but in Du Shaoqing's opinion, as long as the entire Tang Dynasty was backed up, it would not be difficult to achieve.
One of them is to make money from other countries and quickly expand the Du family caravan. The Tang Dynasty has sufficient supply of goods, and it is definitely an overwhelming advantage to attract money from other countries. It can be said that the small countries around are short of anything.
This is his purpose on the surface. Of course, the reason why he chose to cooperate with Yoon Gaisuwen was also a dignified plot to put the Du family in the bright place of Goguryeo. As long as the two countries did not start a war, these people would be protected by Goguryeo.
But secretly, these people can do business throughout Gaoguli. One day, the Tang Dynasty used troops to go to Goguli, and everything these people saw when they were rooted in Goguli's business would be the first-hand information of the Tang army, whether geographical or military.
And Yuan Gaisuwen's first reaction was that this man was hiding a knife in his smile. It was not a good thing that he wanted to put someone in Goguryeo, because in the heart of this man Lu, he firmly remembered everything Du Shaoqing did in Hebei Road, which was enough to prove that this man was cruel to Goguryeo.
But if he disagrees, the other party can also secretly send someone to the scout, which will be even more difficult to deal with. So on the surface, Yoon Gassuwen has already thought about the situation clearly.
After inquiring about the business scope of Du Shaoqing's caravan in detail, this big man showed enough enthusiasm for Lu - the people of Goguryeo need you.
The two of them held hands, and from then on, Goguryeo opened all the way to the Tang Dynasty Du family caravan, and the Du family would provide all the urgently needed goods to the maximum extent, including secretly smuggled salt and iron transactions.
It is precisely because of this huge bait that Yuan Gai Suwen was a little confused. Is Du Shaoqing doing business for the Tang Dynasty or using his identity to make personal gain? The Tang Dynasty prohibited private salt and iron transactions, and smuggling them to other countries is a serious crime. He is so bold?
I promised Du Shaoqing not because of trust, but because no matter what the Tang Dynasty intended, these were beneficial to Goguryeo. The owner of the Du family caravan would work under the strict surveillance of Goguryeo, so I was not afraid of any destruction they did in secret.
This is Yuan Gaisuwen's confidence, but he did not expect that the upright plot is often the simplest, most impeccable, and the least traceable, and even if the other party notices it, he cannot refuse.
Du Shaoqing had a blatant affair with Gao Guli envoys so blatantly, and Chang'an City was full of spies, so no one would see it. If he had placed it on others, he would have been impeached and convicted a few days ago.
But this person is Du Shaoqing, so many people hesitated and even said they gave up directly. Although Du Shaoqing was less than two years old, he was too favored. The emperor and the queen loved each other, and several government officials were responsible for their support. They were also a disciple of Yu Shinan, the leader of the literati. Under various titles, he was a figure with a strength comparable to a prince.
It should be said that it is more solid than the prince, because even the princes will impeach each other because of fighting each other.
However, Du Shaoqing did not hold real power and had no conflict of interest with almost everyone, so no one would mess with this person with nothing to do, and it was thankless to me for his pure efforts.
Another very important reason is that Du Shaoqing is not easy to impeach. Last year, the Tai Chi Palace was suppressed by murder on the spot. Is there any more serious crime than this?
However, no one has impeached these days, but Li Er was a little anxious. No one can be impeached. I have to come to impeach me, showing the rigor of our Tang system, and also making envoys from various countries relaxed their vigilance against Du Shaoqing so that they could have private contact in the future.
In the end, Li Er had to secretly find someone to stand up. The reason for the impeachment was that Du Shaoqing accepted bribes, used his power for personal gain, and used his position as Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple to make friends with envoys from other countries.
So, less than five days after Du Shaoqing's Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple was officially appointed, he was ordered by Emperor Li Er to deprive him of his official position and go home to be a comfortable son-in-law. Tang Jian, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, who was thinking about his family, took office again.
The official reinstated official position of the Honglu Temple, but everyone in the Taiji Hall saw it and had no kindness to the envoys of other countries, so many envoys secretly complained.
Du Shaoqing quit. I am called taking care of both public and private affairs. Isn’t it also the responsibility of the Honglu Temple to entertain friends from neighboring countries?
After being driven home by the emperor, Du Shaoqing simply opened the house and invited several envoys from other countries to their homes with invitations. He made friends blatantly, which can be said to be a small banquet for three days and a big banquet for five days. For a moment, everyone in Chang'an City knew about it. This prince-consort Du liked to make friends with foreign races, and even called it: There is no difference!
This style of work quickly gained the favor of all envoys from other countries. Of course, except for the envoys of the Western Turks and the envoys of Gaochang, these two gangs have been buried.
Originally, many people said that Du Shaoqing was angry, but the incident became more and more intense, and Du Shaoqing had no intention of stopping, so many censors could not sit still and took the initiative to impeach Du Shaoqing to make friends with foreign races, which was suspected of treason.
So Du Shaoqing was pushed to the forefront and finally had to restrain himself a little. Even if he was entertaining guests, he would use his daughter Xiao Xuanxuan's name to say that these envoys like children. They were too enthusiastic and could not help. Such an excuse made the angered censors unable to do so.
In the Du family, Du Shaoqing took the opportunity to make friends with all foreigners who could make friends with him, and at the same time promised to establish a private transaction channel with these people. The Uighurs in the north mainly exported tea, while the countries in the Western Regions mainly exported silk, and imported various gems, which were exclusively sold by Du Shaoqing in the Tang Dynasty.
Trade in the northeast is even more convenient. Du Shaoqing's third brother Du He is the deputy general of the northeast border city. All smuggling transactions can be tax-free through Du He, which makes Shi Wei and other countries very happy.
In this way, after ten days, Du Shaoqing had paved the way for the huge foreign trade, waiting for the little girl Wuzhao to train enough personnel. Once the Du family chamber of commerce was running, it would become the first money-making structure in the Tang Dynasty. Du Shaoqing was confident that he would surpass the financial resources of the five surnames and seven hopes in one fell swoop.
