The rise of the prince

Chapter 580 It Really Started Fighting (Upper+Down)
He read the letter quickly, with ten lines at a glance, Li Xingzhou laughed excitedly after reading it, and handed it to De Gong proudly, "Look."

Degong was puzzled: "Why are you crazy?" He put down the wine glass in his hand, took the letter and looked at it.

He didn't care at first, shook the letter paper, and squinted his eyes, but the more he looked at it, the more his face became frozen, and he gradually became surprised from ear to ear, and he handed the letter to He Zhao in disbelief: " Take a look."

He Zhao had been curious for a long time. He took the letter and looked at it, but when he saw it, he immediately couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

Qi Fang's letter mainly said one thing, Xia Guo started fighting!

But this time it wasn't Xia Guo and Jing Guo, but their own internal fight, which was very fierce.

In late April, the Privy Envoy of the Xia Kingdom, the commander of the Chaoshun Army on the left side, and Li Chong, the commander of the Brave Army on the right side, who was also the emperor's cousin, gathered troops to force the palace to rebel. royal palace.

But what never expected was that the deputy command room of Chaoshun Army on the left side of the garrison closest to Xingqing Mansion did not obey Li Chong's order, led people to protect the emperor, and fled from the north gate of the palace.

Then all the way to the north along the river retreated to Dingzhou. After the emperor Li Ji of Xia Kingdom settled down in Dingzhou City, he issued an edict to punish the thieves, and got the response of Heqing Army and Jinsu Army stationed in the northeast of Xia Kingdom.

On the other side, Li Chong established himself as the King of Qin, supported by the Prime Minister Zhang Xie, and the left-wing heroic army and the Jingsai army all obeyed his orders.

The two sides faced each other in Huaizhou between Xingqing Mansion and Dingzhou. They had already clashed several times, each winning or losing. The situation is still unclear.

But south of the river, Xingqing Mansion, Jingzhou, Xingqing Mansion, Xiping Mansion, Yaode City, Yanzhou, Longzhou, and other places have already brought Li Chong back.

Only Huaizhou in the north, Dingzhou, Chaoshun Army Division in the right wing, Sanjiaochuan, Wucihai City and other places still supported the original emperor Li Ji.

This can be said to be great news!
With civil turmoil in Xia, Jingguo can concentrate on dealing with the north.

As for how to do it.
Qi Fang also wrote it clearly in the letter. In fact, if she didn't write it, Li Xingzhou could guess most of it.

The price of Xuantie Ling in Xia Kingdom continued to rise, creating various miracles of getting rich, and then various imitations flowed into the market.

People's thirst and desire for money lead to a herd effect when the hype starts.

Many people buy when they watch others buy, sell when they see others sell, and pursue wealth blindly and fanatically.

During this process, rationality will gradually be lost, fanaticism will continue to increase, and gradually no one cares about the value of the product itself.
In order to speculate on Xuantie Tokens and get rich overnight, many people looked for people to borrow money to buy Xuantie Tokens. Some people used cattle, sheep, houses, etc. to buy them as collateral, and some people pooled their money to buy them together.

A few days before mid-April, according to Qifang, the price of Xuantie Ling had reached a sky-high price of more than 2 taels when it was at its highest price. It was only sold for ten taels at the beginning, but it has increased by more than 2000 times.

But compared to the various hype bubbles in history, this is not bad.During the tulip mania, the price of tulips has doubled tens of thousands of times, and one flower can buy the top mansion in the world.The same is true in the Changchun Clivia bubble. A pot of Clivia can buy five houses in Beijing!

But the crazier the bubble, the faster it bursts.

People frantically bought and sold black iron tokens, but in the end, the price has actually far exceeded the commodity itself, and they are no longer bought to exchange for glazed wares from Jingguo merchants, but simply to resell them quickly to make money.

The Xuantie Token has become a time bomb that may explode at any time. People must pass it on crazily, regardless of the cost, to find the next home, like beating a drum to pass a flower.

Under this kind of crazy fueling, the Xuantie Ling continued to skyrocket, breaking through 3 taels at the peak!The highest price was bought by Zhang Xie, Xia Guozhong's servant, 1000 taels of black iron order!It made many people jealous and crazy.

After the madness, the bubble burst very quickly. After April [-]th, seeing that the date that the former Jingguo businessmen had promised to return was approaching, many people did not buy the Black Tie Token to actually exchange it for glazed wares.

Many people holding the Black Tie Token started to panic, because the price of the Black Tie Token has far surpassed the glazed wares, and if they don't sell it, they will lose a lot.

They began to anxiously find another home, wanting to sell it so that they would not suffer losses, at least to guarantee the bottom line.

If they are in a hurry, the price will be lowered. As a result, the price of Xuantie Ling rose for almost a month and then began to fall.

Once the foam has a hole, it will be smashed to pieces in an instant.

The price of Xuantie Ling fell, and many creditors who lent money to buy Xuantie Ling feared that they would not be able to receive the money, so they immediately began to press for debts.With this reminder, the people with the Black Tie Token became more anxious to sell, and the price continued to drop, and so on.
In an instant, the price of the Black Iron Token was like falling off a cliff. In less than two days, the price dropped to several hundred taels!It has fallen hundreds of times, and many people have gone bankrupt in one fell swoop.

But the matter is not over yet. The reason why it didn't break through is because some people thought that it could be exchanged for the glazed wares of Jingguo people, and it could be sold for money to get back a little bit of money.

Results until late April.
The long-awaited Jingguo glass merchant never came!Countless people have a bad premonition that they may have encountered a liar, or something happened to Jingguo Liuli Merchant.
Sure enough, businessmen from Jingguo brought news one after another, saying that a glazed craftsman used by the royal family secretly went to Xiaguo to sell colored glaze.

In an instant, the last hope of Xia people was shattered, like falling into an ice bank.

From morning to noon, the news began to spread, and by dusk, the Xuantie Token had dropped directly from 1000 taels at the peak to dozens of pieces of broken iron that no one wanted.
More than 1000 black iron orders, plus various imitations, there are countless small iron pieces circulating in the hands of Xia people.Craftsmen, businessmen, farmers, officials, and people with an incalculable number of students went bankrupt instantly and lived on the streets. Many people couldn't think of committing suicide.The debts of many creditors could never be recovered, and even Zhang Xie, the prime minister of the dynasty, lost everything, and even the mansion was given to others.

But he is the Prime Minister of the country, and no one dares to really want his mansion.
For a while, Xingqing Mansion and its surrounding towns were in chaos, and Xia Guo cried for his father and mother.

Countless people flocked to the government in solidarity, asking the government to make decisions for themselves. Many ministers also organized groups to complain to the emperor, begging the emperor to help them recover their defrauded money and property.

But Emperor Xia is also very helpless. These are all transactions you want to buy. What does it mean to be cheated? Didn't you buy it yourself?
At this time, the previous transaction is ordered to be voided, and the money will be returned in full. Let alone whether or not someone can be found, how could others have intentions, this is a clear robbery!

So of course the Emperor Xia refused, and the government also ignored these matters and closed their doors.

But soon, things came to a head.
The people's sentiments are raging, and hundreds of officials complain.

Moreover, the emperor's cousin, the privy envoy Li Chong, who also lost his family fortune, also asked the emperor for help, but was ignored.

So in late April, after all his wealth was gone, and his family couldn't even support the servants, he rebelled.

And Li Chong promised that as long as he ascended the throne, he would recover the money for all the people in the world who were deceived by Xuan Tie Ling.

As soon as these words came out, there was almost a momentum of response from everyone. From the people to the court officials, they won many supporters and stormed into the palace in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, the emperor got the news early and fled under the guard of the deputy command room of the Chaoshun Army in the left chamber.

There are also many people who are dissatisfied with Li Chong because of Xuan Tie's order to make money, and recover the silver, why?It's all a business of your choice, but they earned the money through trading, so they turned to support the current emperor Li Ji.

All of a sudden, the two factions lined up, Xia Guo began to enter the civil war, the rebels were led by Li Chong, and Xia Guo emperor Li Ji retreated to Dingzhou to confront the rebels.

Things really developed as Li Xingzhou thought!
He drank three dozen cups proudly and happily, and then looked at the two old men who had been teaching him child's play before.

On the other side, He Zhao and De Gong were still stunned, and they read Qi Fang's letter again in disbelief, and they still didn't believe it.

"How?" Li Xingzhou asked proudly.

The two of them stopped talking, and after a while, He Zhao was thin-skinned and blushed.

"Ahem, I don't know if it's true or not. It's just information from your palace. How can you believe it?" He Zhao said stubbornly.

Degong's face was much thicker, and he was completely unmoved. He calmly stood up and patted his buttocks and said, "It's getting late today, so let's stop here for the time being. The old man has to leave beforehand, and come back another day when he is free."

Li Xingzhou looked at the sun that was about to go down in the distance with a confused expression, "Is it getting late?"

De Gong ignored it, bid farewell to He Zhao in a polite and thoughtful manner, went out calmly without changing his face, got into the Xiangfu's carriage, and asked him to see him off.
Well, old man!

He satirized labor and management for a long time before, but now it was his turn to slap him in the face. He ran fast, and his face was not red or his heart was beating. He is indeed an old fritter.

Then he was sent off by He Zhao.
He Zhao is not as thick-skinned as a virtuous man, but he knows how to be a rascal, so he hastily kicked him out of the house.
Li Xingzhou was so angry that he pointed at the gate of He Mansion and cursed for 15 minutes.

But seeing that He Zhao still had De Gong's ghostly expression, he knew that the two old men were really shocked, and he was still secretly happy.

Back at the palace, Li Xingzhou thought of today's elation and Fang's deeds, hummed a ditty happily, drank a few glasses of wine, and fell asleep in a daze

The next day, the intelligence from the Privy Council really came.

The Meteor Express Horse of the Privy Council was actually a day slower than the big boat of the Palace, but it was all about Xia Guo really fighting.Emperor Li Ji had a fierce fight with his cousin who claimed to be the King of Qin.

In the early morning, the court was shaken, and many ministers were talking about it, but most of them were happy. Even if they didn't understand anything, they could intuitively understand that if Xia Guo fought, it would be good for Jing Guo.

Only He Zhao and De Gong in the front row looked like he had seen hell, and finally confirmed that this matter is indeed true.
Not many people knew of his tricks in Xia Kingdom, basically only He Zhao, Duke De, and the emperor were in the court.

The information from the Privy Council completely made Li Xingzhou feel at ease, and Qi Fang was as reassuring as ever to handle his affairs.

In the Kunning Palace, the emperor looked happy, and happily took the empress's arm, holding in his hand the detailed report document that Li Xingzhou submitted at his request.

It described in detail the means to deal with Xia Guo, and the operation process of the whole matter. Of course, Li Xingzhou still dictated, and Gillian chose words and sentences.

"I never thought that what Xingzhou said was not a joke." After reading it slowly, the emperor was slightly moved.

The queen was very happy: "I didn't expect this child to be so smart."

"That's right, I've never heard of it, I've never seen it before." The emperor gave a rare smile, looking at the thick sheets of paper in his hand: "If he hadn't written them one by one for me to read, I wouldn't believe that there are such methods in the world. used against a country.

I'm afraid that Xia Guojun and his ministers don't realize that they are actually being tricked. It's comforting to think about it. "

"This is a great achievement."

"Naturally, when the Xia Kingdom is in chaos, our Jing Kingdom has no external worries for the time being, and we can concentrate on dealing with the Liao Kingdom. And when they have enough chaos and the civil war is exhausted, they may have the opportunity to take the opportunity to regain the Western Regions in one fell swoop!" The emperor said solemnly.

The queen listened quietly without interrupting.

"This kid is really doing big things quietly." The emperor said slowly: "On the other hand, those guys who made such a big noise and forced me to welcome back the prince are the most noisy. They can't do anything useful, and they will only add to the chaos. It will be a disservice, just like the prince!"

"Your majesty." Regarding this matter, the queen didn't dare to intervene too much.

The emperor calmed down, and asked: "What do you think about letting Xingzhou take over this Jiangshan Sheji?"

The queen's heart trembled, but she remained calm on the surface: "This is a matter of the emperor's Sacred Heart dictatorship. If the emperor thinks Xingzhou is good, then Xingzhou, and if the prince is good, then he is the prince."

"Don't talk politely to me. I have thoughts in my heart, but I also want to hear more about other people's truth."

Speaking of this, the queen did not shy away: "The concubine said bluntly, talking about talent and learning, Xingzhou wrote "Xiaomei in the Mountain Garden", wrote "Sapphire Case. Bone dry', the prince's determination is incomparable.

In terms of bravery, Xingzhou leveled the South the year before last, and suppressed the Black Mountain bandits last year, and his subordinates are in charge of the new army, and the prince can't compare.

Speaking of wisdom, that's even more so. I didn't talk about the governance of Jiangzhou before, but just relying on dozens of people this time turned Xia Guo's world upside down. Not to mention the prince, the courtiers and concubines in the world have never seen it before. The person who can compare is not even the emperor. "

Hearing this, the emperor was not angry, but nodded: "I can't compare to you either."

The queen changed the topic: "But everything has advantages and disadvantages. The prince has already taken over so many people in the East Palace. The emperor must have seen that many people supported the prince when they welcomed the prince back.

In this way, if Xingzhou is changed, the court will be in turmoil.Prince Li will not. "

"Then who do you think is better?" the emperor asked.

The queen thought for a while: "The concubine seems to be Xingzhou."

"Why?"

"He is my own grandson."

The emperor was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and held the queen's hand tightly, "Huaixuan, after all these years, you still haven't changed at all."

"How can there be no, people are old and faded, and they can't be as good as the emperor's eyes"

"Being coquettish is more the same as before."

In the small courtyard of Yan'an Mansion, everyone gathered around the bonfire to drink wine and eat meat, celebrating success.

Probably they didn't even think about it, but the matter really succeeded, Xia Guo started fighting!And the reason for everything is their operation!
