I, the patron saint of the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, was forced to rebel

Chapter 56 Overhead Prince, Crazy Cloth Market
Just because a eunuch took another look, he was directly ordered to be killed by the violent Li Tai!
Only then did the prince's henchmen in the palace realize that the person they support now is not a good person.

Li Tai originally thought that he had the chance to win.

The arrival of Ashina Helu made him understand the danger he was in deep now.

Any mistake will lead to eternal doom!

"My lord grandson, please see me!"

Outside, there was a voice.

Li Tai came to his senses and waved his hand casually, and soon several maids and eunuchs said that there was a mess inside and cleaned it up.

Randomly, he also becomes as if nothing happened.

He walked to the door in person with a smile on his face.

"Uncle, why are you visiting late at night?"

"Go in and talk."

Changsun Wuji looked a little anxious.

A big man who holds a lot of power has always been calm and calm in everything he encounters.

But this time, uncharacteristically!
Seeing this, Li Tai felt a little worried.

"Uncle, could it be because of that Ashina Helu?"

"This is just one of them. The prince thought that no one would know that this small kingdom came to the palace in secret?"

"So what, now that my father is bedridden, I should be in Chongzhen's court!"

Changsun Wuji frowned. The prince in front of him was too entrusted with power and didn't care about the overall situation at all.

"The appearance of Ashina Helu will attract Qin Mu's attention. Do you know what the consequences will be?"

"Hmph! I have an army of hundreds of thousands in Chang'an, let alone the border guards. Could it be that they can't stop him, Qin Mu?" Li Tai was extremely confident.

These words are just to show their own strength.

In fact, I was also very anxious.

Changsun Wuji would not believe it even more, he has read countless people, so how could such a small trick be taken into account.

"Let me remind you, how did you come to be the crown prince? You know very well that Qin Mu's general situation has already been achieved. If you can't talk to him as soon as possible to rule the world, your position will only be temporary!"

"uncle."

"Needless to say, you are the prince now, you should pay attention to your words and deeds. If you think you have succeeded now, then what is the difference between you and Li Chengqian?"

After finishing speaking, Changsun Wuji cupped his hands and turned to leave.

Such an attitude made Li Tai's teeth itch with hatred, but there was nothing he could do.

Killed the former prince Li Chengqian and threatened the emperor Li Shimin.

The price paid for such a position is also very heavy.

For example, the rights are mostly overhead!
He knew very well that in this court, it was not up to him, the so-called prince, to call the shots.

The real master is already bedridden, and the one who can claim the power now is his good "uncle"!
Lingzhou, the city lord's mansion.

All the news was screened by Lin Quan, Zhuge Liang and others, then summarized and marked, and sent to Qin Mu.

Countless eyeliners, crazy expansion.

In this pass, there are even small foreign countries that have recently begun to infiltrate.

The intelligence system has already taken shape!
"King Xian, Ashina Helu secretly went to meet the new prince Li Tai, most likely because he wanted to take advantage of the prince's aggressiveness, thus forming a double attack on us!"

"No, I have a different opinion."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Quan was interrupted by Zhuge Liang, "This is probably a threat, and at the same time I want to get some help. As the Western Turkic Khan, Ashina Helu is very clear about our strength. would do such a stupid thing!"

"Why is that?"

In terms of small-scale control and intelligence transmission, Lin Quan's strength is beyond doubt.

However, in the face of strategic issues, he appears somewhat inadequate.

Qin Mu sat there without raising his head, looking at the map on the table, where the two places 'West Turkic and Qinghai' were marked with red circles.

"Immediately send troops to defend Qinghai closely. In addition, start to control foreign trade, especially the reduction of salt and iron, and the temporary slowdown of cloth and so on."

"Your Majesty, such an approach will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause!" Zhuge Liang said.

"No, I have a big plan, and it will take nearly a month to carry out. In the next period of time, you will start buying all raw materials such as cloth, linen, silk, etc., and I want to make this Tang Dynasty, there are no materials available! "

Seeing Qin Mu's indifferent face, Lin Quan and Zhuge Liang looked at each other with some doubts.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to say bluntly, this kind of industry is lowly, even if we monopolize it, it's useless."

"No, there are no lowly industries in the world, only people who can't manipulate!"

Qin Mu looked at the two with deep eyes.

"Just do as I tell you."

"But doing so will cause the market price of cloth materials to soar, and we don't have that much money!"

"If you don't have one, just ask the bank to borrow it. As long as it doesn't exceed three times the price, I will accept everything!"

The two of them didn't know how to refute, and the King of Kings had everything he said and could not be refuted at all.

In just a few days, the price of cloth began to rise wildly.

The price of linen, which used to be the least valuable, has now increased several times, so there is still no market for it.

Behind it, there are a large group of aristocratic families, businessmen, and crazy acquisitions.

As a result, in the entire market, common people cannot buy cloth, and small merchants have no materials to make clothes.

And all of this, a piece of news suddenly broke out, completely detonating!

"What, all of this was actually done by the virtuous king. So, the virtuous king wants to control the cloth trade?"

"Could it be that the virtuous king has forgotten his original intention!"

"No, I don't believe King Xian would do this, there must be another reason."

"."

Countless voices, some denounced, insulted, and defended.

However, no one stopped.

Do everything possible to join the cloth business, want to share a bowl of soup.

Large transactions are monopolized, and the remaining soup is not enough.

For half a month, Chang'an City was in a state of panic, but it was suddenly activated, because the cloth trade drove countless industrial chains.

Suzhou and Hangzhou, the most affluent area, are also rich in silk.

In previous years, half of the silk produced could be sold, which is already thankful.

But now, the sale has not yet started, and there are countless rich people who come to order directly with the storage slip.

The crazy market has spawned countless greedy people.

The soldiers and horses of the imperial court have also reached a position more than ten miles outside Puzhou in the past few days.

But he dared not go any further.
A large number of scouts were sent to scout the situation, but the results were the same.

In Pucheng, Qin Mu's general Yue Fei led [-] elite troops to defend it closely!
"General, from this point of view, if you attack rashly, you will be attacked from both sides, and Youzhou City is right next to you!"

It is true that Pucheng is located in the center of the traffic artery.

The Youzhou City controlled by Qin Mu has completely cut off the back road, and the only way is to forcefully attack.

As the general leading the army this time, Chai Shao!
Originally, Zuo Qianniu prepared his body and fought for half his life, especially his outstanding performance in the war against the Eastern Turks.

Because there is no one available in the court, Li Shimin is bedridden, and the last decree pulls out his brother-in-law to help.

Chai Shao, who was already old, could only agree.

He was sent to Huazhou, and he always wanted to spend his old age peacefully with his wife, Princess Pingyang Zhao.

Unexpectedly, things are impermanent!
