Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty
Chapter 1159 Li Tai's Purpose
Who is Zhang Sun Wuji? He has a very good mind.
Li Tai's question seemed to be just some casual chat, but Changsun Wuji heard something else in it.
However, Zhang Sun Wuji was a shrewd man who never showed his emotions. He pretended to be puzzled and asked:
"Why is Qingque asking this? Didn't Prince Ji make it very clear to His Majesty?
It was Wang Hongfu who made the mistake, and the Chief Secretary Wang Xuance was also negligent and derelict in his duty by not checking strictly, so this happened.
What? Qingque, do you think something is wrong? "
Li Tai looked at Changsun Wuji with a smile and thought to himself, this old fox clearly knows everything, but he is pretending to be confused in front of me.
"Haha, uncle, you're joking. There's nothing wrong with that. It's just that I feel that this matter will have some impact on the court.
The Ji Wang Mansion used flying coins to create a new kind of currency, which was obviously intended to replace copper coins.
Kaiyuan Tongbao is the official currency of our dynasty, and what Lao Shi did is suspected of being unlawful."
Li Tai took a sip of tea after he finished speaking, his tone was very calm, as if he was chatting about something insignificant.
After hearing this, Changsun Wuji smiled slightly. It seemed that the King of Wei was still thinking about the King of Ji.
At this time, does he still expect any unexpected events to happen?
Even if he wanted to, His Majesty would not agree.
The situation in his mind was very clear. Prince Ji was a sword left by His Majesty for the Crown Prince, a sword used to cut off all obstacles that stood in the way of the Crown Prince and the Li Dynasty.
Can't the King of Wei see clearly?
"Qingque, this is serious. The Ji Palace has set up flying money that can only be circulated between the important cities of Qinghai Road and Chang'an City.
Although the signature and address were not written before, now that His Majesty has discovered it, Prince Ji said he would correct it.
Then the matter is over.
It was just a misunderstanding.”
Changsun Wuji said.
Li Tai saw that Changsun Wuji was still speaking for Li Shen and realized that the other party did not want to get involved.
"Uncle, let's not beat around the bush. You and I are relatives. As long as mother is still alive, we are a family.
Uncle should not be so distant with me, his nephew. I am here today to ask for your advice.
You have a grudge against Li Shen, and I am not on good terms with Lao Shi either.
Uncle, think about it, with Li Shen's vengeful character, if you are no longer around, can your Changsun family defeat Li Shen?
Do you know what Li Shen once said?
"What?" Changsun Wuji asked.
"Buy the old and don't bully the young. Bullying the young will definitely be punished." Li Tai said word by word.
"Buy the old and don't bully the young. Bullying the young will be punished."
Chang Sun Wuji repeated it. This sentence was easy to understand. With his wisdom, he didn't even need to think about it.
It seems that King Ji is warning others not to bully him. He is still young now, and he will still be alive when you all die.
I will take revenge on your family descendants when the time comes. It is indeed King Ji, with such a cruel heart.
"Uncle, do you think your eldest brother can withstand the revenge of the tenth brother in the future?
I'm not belittling my eldest brother. Let alone my eldest brother, even your entire Changsun family may not be able to defeat the tenth brother.
If you don't believe me, just look at the five aristocratic families today, the Eight Pillars of the State of Guanlong, and the Shandong gentry and the Jiangnan gentry.
It took King Ji ten years to reduce the power of all the aristocratic families in the world by half.
Do you know how many people in this world want him dead?
Uncle, aren't you worried?
The tenth child is only twenty years old this year."
Li Tai's words were earnest and sincere, and in the end, they were a perfect example of "for your own good". His words were full of emotion and moved the audience.
There was no change in Changsun Wuji's expression before, but the last sentence, "Li Shen was only twenty years old," immediately made Changsun Wuji raise his eyebrows.
Yes, this little prince is only twenty years old and he still has several decades to live.
Given his eccentric personality and his despicable, vindictive style of doing things, it is not surprising what he has done in the past few decades.
He has a grudge against him. If he were to deal with the Changsun family in the future, not to mention Changsun Chong, even the entire Changsun family might not be his match.
Because Changsun Wuji knew a secret, a secret revealed to him by his sister, Empress Changsun.
Prince Ji occupied a large area of iron and coal mines in Liaodong Road, the amount of which was more than twice that of the Changsun family.
Moreover, a large amount of pig iron, wrought iron, refined iron and high-quality steel had been stored on the coast of Liaodong Road.
In other words, Li Shen's smelting technology is far superior to his.
Li Shen can impact their Changsun family's steel business in a short period of time, and it is legal.
Because Li Shen had a salt and iron monopoly license, which was issued by Li Shimin.
The purpose of Empress Changsun writing to him was to ask him to put aside his prejudice and stop provoking Li Shen, because Li Shen could be useful to her son Li Chengqian.
Empress Changsun's reminder was originally well-intentioned, but it turned out to be a heavy blow to Changsun Wuji.
Their Changsun family is the largest steel merchant in the Tang Dynasty.
Half of the Tang Dynasty's army was commanded by their Changsun family, because he was the brother of Empress Changsun and a relative by marriage, so he would definitely be taken care of.
But if Prince Ji attacks his business, the court may not necessarily choose the steel made by their Changsun family.
Prince Ji's character will definitely lower the price to the lowest possible level. Killing one thousand enemies will result in eight hundred casualties of one's own. This is a common tactic used by Prince Ji's palace to seize the market.
At that time, the imperial court will definitely choose the steel from the Prince Ji’s Mansion because the Prince Ji’s Mansion has the technology.
He didn't know that the salt from Prince Ji's Mansion had already started to be sold abroad. The salt produced in recent years could no longer be stored and production had been stopped long ago.
Seeing Changsun Wuji fall into deep thought, Li Tai's mouth corners slightly raised.
"Uncle, you and I now have a common enemy. If he is not defeated, neither you nor I will be able to live in peace in the future."
Changsun Wuji looked up at Li Tai.
"Qingque, you have no hope.
Even if King Ji falls, you won't have any hope at all.
Just give up on that idea and be a good prince.
His Majesty means that he is planning to have you assist the Crown Prince in the future. In fact, there is nothing wrong with being a prince with real power.
You should have a clear understanding of the current situation in the court.
The crown prince's succession to the throne is an inevitable trend, and even Your Majesty cannot shake it now.
If not, do you think His Majesty would come to Qinghai Road?
This is His Majesty waiting to see if there will be any changes in his absence from the court.
Your Majesty is so wise, every move he makes is full of meaning.
Believe it or not, His Majesty knows exactly what goes on in the court every day. Even if someone says something unintentional, it will be recorded.
So, Qingque, forget it. You can't bring down King Ji, and it's useless even if you trip him up."
"Uncle, are you willing to accept this? What the Tenth Master did to your Changsun family, those two high-ranking officials, and your Erlang.
Uncle, don't you consider my elder brother's future?"
Li Tai looked at Changsun Wuji with great sorrow and said, his tone full of reluctance.
(I have been wasting my time internally. I should go out for a walk and see the grassland.
Otherwise I feel like I will develop a mental illness.
Mainly because it cost too much money, I impulse bought an X100Su today.
I would be sorry for such a good camera phone if I don’t go out for a walk.)
