Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1270 Li Shimin's Murderous Intent

After talking to Zhang Shusheng, Qin Tian didn't rush into the palace to tell Li Shimin about it.

Instead, he sent people to investigate everywhere in Chang'an City to see if the fake copper coins only appeared in his shop, or whether the entire Chang'an City had already appeared.

He does things, but seeks to be safe.

This kind of thing is relatively easy to investigate.

So around dusk, Qin Tian already got the answer he wanted.

"My lord, there are counterfeit coins everywhere. Many shops have received counterfeit coins, and even some ordinary people have counterfeit coins now."

Even the common people have counterfeit money in their hands, so we can see how fast the circulation of counterfeit money is.

The matter was more serious than Qin Tian imagined.

Qin Tian took a few steps back and forth in the living room, and then he went directly to the study.

This matter must be resolved as soon as possible, so he is going to the morning court tomorrow, and now he has to write a memorial.

General of the night.

Li Yuanjing's residence.

"My lord, the matter of counterfeit money has been discovered, and Qin Tian has already learned about it, I'm afraid..."

The following words were not spoken by the servants, but Li Yuanjing clearly understood what they meant.

He snorted in displeasure, as if he was a little angry, you know, Qin Tian is very powerful, if he finds out about this matter, he is afraid that it will be exposed sooner or later.

"This Qin Tian is really abominable. Li Shimin has already sent him to Jinling City. He can just go there. Why do you have to stay in Chang'an City for half a month?"

Just because of Qin Tian's half-month stay, he had carefully planned things for a long time, and an accident happened like this.

He wants to rebel, and rebellion needs money to support it. His fief income has a lot of money, but compared to the great cause of rebellion, that amount of money is not enough.

So, he thought about the counterfeit money.

Moreover, the circulation of prices will make Li Shimin's empire very unstable.

The Tang Dynasty is unstable, so Li Yuanjing will have a chance.

After the counterfeit money was produced, he should have gone to other places to flow into the market. After all, the farther away from Chang'an City, the safer it is relatively speaking.

However, some time ago, he desperately needed money to raise soldiers and horses, and he needed to get money quickly. In the entire Tang Dynasty, the place where money circulated the most and fastest was Chang'an City.

At that time, the situation was urgent, so he had no choice but to take the risk and circulate counterfeit money in Chang'an City.

After the counterfeit currency was circulated, it has not been noticed by anyone.

He didn't expect that Qin Tian would find out just a few days after he came back.

Li Yuanjing was a little angry at this time, why did Qin Tian come back at this time, and why did he stay in Chang'an City for half a month?

Once this matter is known to Li Shimin, he will be unable to do business in Chang'an City.

Li Yuanjing walked back and forth, and after a long time, he finally made up his mind and said: "Immediately order our people to leave Chang'an City with the goods as soon as possible, and go to other places to circulate counterfeit money. Also, in Chang'an City, all Anyone who knows that this king is related to this matter will be dealt with by me."

This business is definitely not going to work in Chang'an City, and Qin Tian is still there, so with Qin Tian's ability, he has to follow the clues to find him. If this is the case, everyone involved in this matter will have to die.

Li Yuanjing had to protect himself.

As long as he is here, there is still hope for everything.

And after he continued to order like this, someone soon followed what he said.
-
The next morning, the autumn wind was slightly cold.

Standing in the main hall, all the officials could feel the slightest chill.

But everyone was a little surprised, because Qin Tian, ​​who hadn't gone to court since his return, unexpectedly came to court today.

He was going to Jinling City, and Li Shimin gave him half a month's time to rest at home and accompany the princess's wife. What did he come to the morning court for?
For Qin Tian, ​​many people in the court did not have a good opinion of him.

Li Shimin was also a little surprised to see Qin Tian coming.

But he knew that since Qin Tian came, something must happen.

So, after seeing Qin Tian, ​​Li Shimin asked, "Qin Aiqing, what's the matter with you coming to court?"

Qin Tian handed over the memorial and said, "My lord, I have discovered that the counterfeit money in Chang'an City has been rampant recently. This has seriously affected the normal development of the order of our Tang Dynasty, and will also damage the stability of our Tang Dynasty. Some people are behind the scenes. Coins, this is simply the destruction of our Great Tang, this is a conspiracy, so I ask the Holy One to send someone to thoroughly investigate this matter."

Qin Tian muttered something, and after he finished speaking, all the officials in the court were shocked.

"What, someone dares to forge counterfeit money?"

"Who is so bold that he dares to make counterfeit coins? You know, this is a serious crime to destroy the nine clans?"

"Who says no, there are people who dare to do such a thing?"

Currency is related to the operation and stability of the imperial court, so from ancient times to the present, it has been controlled by the imperial court. Otherwise, if other people can also manufacture currency, wouldn't they have the financial resources to compete with the imperial court?
No imperial court would want to see this kind of thing happen, so forging counterfeit money privately is a serious crime, and the nine clans will be wiped out.

But now, someone dared to do such a thing.

Everyone was shocked.

After reading Qin Tian's memorial, Li Shimin's eyes showed killing intent.

The person who did this wanted to subvert his entire Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty was only founded more than ten years ago, and it was still very immature. Now that this kind of thing happened, it was a serious test for him, Li Shimin.

If he doesn't handle it well, it will really make him waste the efforts of Datang over the past ten years.

Snapped……

Li Shimin threw the memorial on the table angrily, and the whole hall fell silent.

Everyone looked at Li Shimin with terror in their eyes. Li Shimin had never done this action of throwing a memorial. Obviously, he was very angry.

"Bold, really bold. This is the first time that I have dared to make counterfeit money in the more than ten years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. The people behind the scenes really treat me as a fool?"

An angry Li Shimin screamed and roared, and then his eyes showed murderous look: "Copper coins can be counterfeited, it must be because the molds have been secretly leaked out. Anyone who is responsible for casting copper coins and has the opportunity to touch the molds, I killed them all, and if this incident happens again after that, all the people related to it will not even think about living."

When the emperor got angry, the whole Tang Dynasty would change color.

Blood flow must be increased.

Li Shimin's voice fell, and although the court officials felt that this was a bit cruel, no one stood up to intercede.

Things like this should be deterred, so that those responsible understand that as long as they dare to do it, the consequence will be death.

Li Shimin also knew that this would kill innocent people by mistake, but in comparison, this was the method with the least loss.
