This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 452 Volume [-] Li Chengqian's troubles
In fact, Fang Xuanling did not want to control the economic lifeline of Daming, but hoped that Tang would have one more hole card in his hand that could contain Li Chengqian.

As the servant of Datang, his thinking angle can only revolve around Datang.

This is the most basic standpoint.

Before Li Er did not pass on the throne to Li Chengqian, there was only one emperor in the Tang Dynasty, and that was Li Er.

And the object of his allegiance can only be Li Er.

This position must be clear.

As for assisting the prince, isn't that exactly what he is doing?
At least one of them counts as one, they all think so.

Aliens, don't trust them!
In a few days, when Li Er's will spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, not only Chang'an, but half of the Tang Dynasty were shocked!
Ordinary people may only know that the monopoly of salt and iron will be implemented again. This may be the only thing that is closely related to ordinary people.

But those who know a little about the court can almost guess the reason for all this.

Many people are thinking hard. Every policy change is a new opportunity for them. If they can seize such an opportunity, it is not impossible to soar into the sky.

As soon as Wang Dequan learned of the news, he had someone send the news back to Daming immediately.

Today, Changming Company has its own semicolon in every city along the way from Riyue Mountain to Chang'an.

Of course, these semicolons are not only for doing business, but more often, they also take care of the courier business from Datang to Chang'an.

This also facilitated the exchange of news between Li Chengqian and Datang.

In fact, Wang Dequan knew very well that Li Chengqian's main purpose of keeping him in Chang'an was to collect news about the Tang Dynasty, and he never forgot about this.

And with the gradual prosperity of the Ming court, Wang Dequan devoted all his attention to the cause of the Daming court. What kind of business, hehe, what kind of business can be more profitable for the country?
Ever since the news spread, Wang Dequan has been thinking about the purpose of Datang doing this.

He no longer considers himself a businessman.

On this day, Wang Dequan returned to his mansion, summoned his family's cronies, and said to everyone: "From today onwards, we will arrange for our people to sneak into Fang Xuanling, Dai Zhou... and others one after another. House."

"Shopkeeper, this..." When the subordinates heard Wang Dequan's words, they couldn't believe it.

Those people in the Tang Dynasty are all great figures who have reached the sky!
If anything goes wrong, their Wang family will be left alone.

"Isn't it too risky?" One of the subordinates said, "If it is discovered, it will be a crime of liaison with foreign countries, and the house will be ransacked!"

They were still a little frightened by Wang Dequan's decision.

It's okay to talk about sneaking into a family or two, but Wang Dequan wants to completely break into the inner circle of the top dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty. It's really hard to say what the result will be.

Wang Dequan shook his head, and said: "Why do you know foreign countries, don't forget, we are people of Ming Dynasty now!
His Highness let the old man stay in Chang'an for only one purpose, and that is to allow His Highness to return to Chang'an and ascend the throne smoothly in the future!

For this purpose, any risk is worth it!
If we can do this well, in the future, my Wang family may not be able to rank among the three princes.

As for the risks, who of you told me that there is no risk in doing anything?
But as long as the benefits are sufficient, why be afraid of risks?
This time, it is an opportunity that several generations of my Wang family have longed for. If it happens, my Wang family will leap forward. Isn't this benefit enough? "

He doesn't understand politics, even though he has been in this circle for a year, he still doesn't understand.

But he knew that this was the opportunity he longed for, an opportunity to completely let the Wang family cross the ranks, for this opportunity, he was willing to take risks!

And, he was right in one thing.

His only purpose in staying in Chang'an is to escort Li Chengqian back to Chang'an to ascend the throne smoothly!
This is what he should do.

The members of the royal family nodded immediately after hearing what he said.

Indeed, with such an opportunity, they should indeed try it. As for the risk, it is still the same sentence, what is there to do without risk?
It's just that they are still too young, and think of those top dignitaries too simply.

People like them, even if they find a servant, they will investigate their details clearly.

Therefore, this matter is destined to be not that simple.

……

When Chang'an began to be turbulent, Li Chengqian was also distressed in Watering River City.

Since September [-]th, after the founding ceremony, Li Chengqian also met Ashina when he summoned the missions from various countries the next day.

After so long, he didn't even see the person again.

It's not that Ashina is playing tricks, but that Li Chengqian still doesn't know how to deal with this person.

Perhaps in the eyes of other people in Daming, Ashina's attachment is a good thing.

But in Li Chengqian's view, this is really not a good thing.

If possible, he would rather Ashina mud not belong to him.

"Your Highness, Ashina has been begging to see him for several days." Seeing Li Chengqian frowning, Wang Xuance said in a low voice, "If I keep avoiding him, I'm afraid it will shake my confidence in Western Turkic surrender."

"You know what!" Li Chengqian said angrily, "If he, Ashina, is really loyal, he will at least give us a warning in advance!
Why do you think he insisted on joining me, Daming, during the founding ceremony?

People know better than you! "

Over the past few days, Li Chengqian actually gradually figured out that Ashina Nishi did this on purpose.

The reason why this was done during the founding ceremony of the Ming court was because he didn't want to give Li Chengqian any way out.

In other words, Ashina is actually very clear that Li Chengqian will not recruit other Western Turks at this stage.

If he doesn't find another way, even if he wants to join Li Chengqian, it may be difficult.

And this is the crux of the problem.

Why did he, Ashina, bring the Western Turks to join Li Chengqian?

Wouldn't it be better to belong to Datang?

Why did he choose Li Chengqian!
Wang Xuance was dumbfounded by what he said, he really didn't understand, but from his point of view, the benefits of Ashina's attachment to the Ming court always outweighed the disadvantages.

At least with the Western Turks, the current national power of the Ming court is three points higher than before!

But Li Chengqian's reaction was as if he had suffered a great loss, which made him really puzzled.

Not only him, Changsun Chong, Gao Chunxing, even Pusiruo and Yi Yuanxi didn't understand.

The only ones who can understand Li Chengqian are Qibi Heli and Niu Jinda.

"Your Highness is worried that this is Ashina's plan to delay the attack?" Niu Jinda said.

Li Chengqian waved his hand, and said: "I don't know if it's a plan to slow down the army, but Ashina chose to lead the entire Western Turks to join me at this juncture, and his motives are absolutely impure.

Moreover, he never gave me the chance to refuse, at the founding ceremony, in front of the missions from various countries, it is impossible for me to refuse him!

This is not an attitude of attachment.

Besides, nowadays, this king has never thought of continuing to expand the territory of Ming Dynasty.

For me, Ming, the annexation of the entire Tuyuhun is enough for us to toss for a long time. "

For this point, at least Niu Jinda believed it, nodded immediately, and said: "Indeed, for our Daming court, it is enough to manage the Daming court well at this stage.

Too wide a territory may not be a good thing. "

"Why is that?" Chang Sun Chong was a little confused.

For a country, shouldn't the larger the territory, the better?

He hasn't heard that that country doesn't want to expand its territory.

"This..." Just as Niu Jinda opened his mouth, Liu San hurried in from the outside and said, "Your Highness, an urgent letter from the treasurer Chang'an Wang."

Hearing that it was a letter from Chang'an, Li Chengqian's heart immediately cooled down.

coming!

He didn't need to read the letter to know that there must be a response from Chang'an.

"Read!"

Liu San was taken aback: "Huh?"

I haven't read the letter yet, what if there is something secret?

Li Chengqian waved his hands, and said impatiently: "Read!"

"Your Highness, Wanan, this subordinate is..."

"The red tape is omitted, let's just talk about the content!" Li Chengqian was a little anxious, and immediately interrupted Liu San's long-winded recitation of those useless things.

Liu San heard the words, and then said: "A few days ago, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty ordered Wei Guogong Li Jing, Wu Guogong Wei Chi Jingde to support Su Guogong Cheng Yaojin, and Xue Yantuo must be captured before the year...

At the same time, there is a decree spread to the world that Datang strictly prohibits the export of all strategic materials such as grain and iron materials. In addition, the Ministry of Household Affairs is discussing the monopoly of salt and iron. It is estimated that before the end of the year, Datang will implement the monopoly of salt and iron again.

......"

"That's why you want to ask!" Li Chengqian waited for Liu San to finish reading, and said, "If Ashina's power had not been attached to our Daming court, Chang'an would not have such a reaction, do you understand now!"

Except for Qibi Heli and Niu Jinda, everyone else was shocked.

They may not understand Xue Yantuo during the Northern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty.

However, Datang implemented a salt and iron monopoly and strictly prohibited all strategic materials such as grain and iron from leaving the country. This is really targeting their Daming royal court.

For a time, everyone was in disbelief.

As for it?
What did the imperial court of Ming Dynasty do to deserve such a target from Chang'an?

They couldn't figure it out.

"Your Highness, why is this?" Chang Sun Chong asked immediately, a little puzzled.

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "You are still a little tender! I didn't understand the twists and turns here at all.

And you, too!
Do you think that since the Western Turks belonged to me, Ming Dynasty Wang Tingzhen, we would have taken advantage of it?
Use your brains to think about it!

After all, this king still bears the name of the Prince of the Tang Dynasty on his back!

But remember, the prince, it is only the prince, and it can only be the prince, understand? "

Li Chengqian was tired.

He is good at everything in the Ming court, but these civil servants under his command really can't keep up.

However, there is no way around this. The civil servants of Daming were all cultivated by him slowly, and it is true that they cannot be expected to be as knowledgeable as those old foxes in Chang'an.

But this is also a short board that he can't solve at all in a short time.

If he had a few people like Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji under his command, hehe, he would have handled the matter properly long ago.

"Your Highness means that Chang'an is guarding against us?" Chang Sun Chong was a little surprised, and said, "But we didn't do anything, even the Western Turks were brought by Ashina himself? Those in Chang'an Why is the old guy guarding against us?

Could it be that there are treacherous people around His Majesty? "

Hearing what he said, Li Chengqian couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help asking: "Do you really think that this is a traitor born in Chang'an?"

"That's natural!" Chang Sun Chong said as a matter of course, "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has always been a sage, if he hadn't been bewitched by treacherous people, how could he issue such an absurd decree?"

"You, don't go back to Chang'an these few years..." Li Chengqian walked over and patted Chang Sun Chong on the shoulder, and said, "I'm afraid that if you go back to Chang'an, you will die young!"

"It doesn't matter, no matter who that traitor is, I will not be afraid at all!" Chang Sun Chong said with a righteous face.

Li Chengqian smiled, and didn't say much anymore. He can only let him experience the family law himself, so his mouth probably won't be so hard.

"You have also seen the current situation." Li Chengqian said, "Now that Chang'an has responded, it will be even more difficult for us to obtain a grain or a piece of iron from Datang from now on.

And it will be even more difficult for our green salt to be sold into Datang again.

You are all the ministers of my great Ming, so let's talk about how we should solve the current situation. "

Li Chengqian actually knew that this was just the beginning.

As the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty becomes more and more powerful, Datang will only do more and more. At that time, it may be the most difficult time for Daming.

"Actually, Chang'an hasn't really made a killing move yet." Wang Xuance said, "If Datang cut off all trade with me, Daming, that would be the scariest thing.

Now nearly [-]% of my Ming's trade is closely related to Datang. If they close their trade with my Ming, it will be the most fatal blow to our Ming! "

"Hmph, they would like to, but dare you!" Chang Sun Chong said disdainfully upon hearing the words, "As far as I know, there are countless people in Datang relying on this business way to make a living, just those honorable families in Chang'an, How many other companies have no property in Riyue Mountain?

If you really want to do this, the first ones to quit are those honorable families.

Not to mention others, but my eldest grandson's family may be the first to refuse. "

His eldest grandson's family has business in the Daming royal court, which is well known, and he has no need to hide it.

In the Daming royal court, doing business is really not something to be ashamed of. Compared with Chang'an, the business atmosphere in Daming is a little more relaxed.

"He's right." Niu Jinda said, "It's impossible to cut off the trade between Da Ming and Tang.

Too many people's interests are involved in this, if this is really to be touched, I am afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among many people. "

There is really nothing to say about cutting off people's wealth, such as killing their parents.

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "These are not problems, the problem is, do you know how much green salt our Daming Royal Court has now?
It is no exaggeration to say that the green salt stored in the royal court of the Ming Dynasty can be eaten by the people of the entire Tang Dynasty for several years. Originally, this king planned to use the green salt to open the door of business for my Ming Dynasty. Yes, it's all in my hands.

Can anyone tell me what should I do? "

When it came to this, everyone shut up...

Seeing their reaction, Li Chengqian immediately shook his head. Thinking about it, he could fight quite a lot under his command, but not many could write.

The point is that they haven't grown up yet.

I'm so tired...

"Your Highness, I have a method. I wonder if it can be used?" Gao Chunxing said after thinking for a moment.

　The author of the dog is begging to spray, come come come!Give me all!
