Tang Dynasty, I can lead troops through ancient and modern times

"Cheng Qian, there is no evidence. You can't just put the blame on Qing Que."

Li Chengqian sneered, "Everyone knows that Li Tai has something to do with this matter, and he may even be the mastermind. Only you, the emperor, are so indecisive and fussy. Haha, in my opinion, you don't have to keep the title of Khan!"

"You!!" Li Shimin became angry again, pointing at Li Chengqian tremblingly, but unable to utter a word.

He naturally also understood Li Tai's role in it.

But do I have to deal with my own son myself?

No, Li Tai can no longer stay in Chang'an. As long as he stays in Chang'an, the turmoil will never be calmed down.

Only by expelling Li Tai from Chang'an can the thoughts of some people be completely put to rest.

"Issue an imperial decree, ordering Prince Wei Li Tai to leave Chang'an within three days and go to his fiefdom."

Li Jing and the others were delighted after hearing this, but Li Chengqian remained expressionless.

He took the amoxicillin and ibuprofen sustained-release capsules handed over by Su, took them himself first, and then distributed them to Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin and others.

"Take it. It relieves pain and inflammation."

As he said this, he turned to look at Li Shimin: "Li Tai can't leave, he must die!!"

Li Shimin looked at him and said, "Why, why do you have to kill him? You have already won the battle, can't you let Qingque go?"

Li Chengqian sneered, "May I ask your Majesty, if my position was swapped with Li Tai's, would he let me go?"

Li Shimin was stunned!

He had to admit that given Li Tai's cold-hearted nature, there was no way he would let Li Chengqian go.

Does it have to be like this between brothers?

He thought of his brother again, and for a moment he stood there in a daze, filled with grief and anger, and full of regret...

Li Chengqian ignored him and summoned everyone to the palace to spy.

Pei Xingjian, Su Dingfang and others also arrived one after another. When they saw Li Shimin standing in the yard, they were all stunned.

But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was waiting for them to discuss important matters, so they could only pay their respects and leave in a hurry.

Li Shimin finally came to his senses at this time, staring blankly at the main hall of the East Palace with its doors and windows closed.

"It's all my fault! It's all my fault, my fault..."

Li Shimin left in despair, but he still ordered Li Tai to leave Chang'an within three days.

Inside the East Palace, everyone looked at Li Chengqian.

"The other party is anxious, which means our plan is successful. Lao Pei, how are you doing?"

Pei Xingjian cupped his hands and said, "The Pei family of Hedong and the noble families of Hedong have jointly sent a letter expressing their willingness to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Chengqian nodded: "Very good, where are the goods that were given to you?"

Pei Xingjian continued, "Glass products have been circulated among the high-ranking wealthy people in Chang'an. In the past five days, a profit of 38,000 strings of cash has been made."

"But the glass products fired in the workshop cannot reach the quality we brought back before."

Li Chengqian patted Su's hand, signaling her not to bandage the wound, and then looked at Pei Xingjian: "There is no rush, just take your time. What about salt and sugar production, have you succeeded in your research?"

Pei Xingjian said: "Like glass products, the purity is not as good as the samples we brought back, and there are some impurities in the white sugar. The effect of using it in gunpowder will probably be a little worse, but there will be no problem selling it to the outside world."

"Salt production is going smoothly and has begun mass production. Soap and ice production are also going smoothly. The first batch of strong liquor has also been produced smoothly and will be available on the market within ten days."

As he spoke, Pei Xingjian became excited.

"Your Highness, with these products that are unique to the Eastern Palace, our financial resources will grow explosively, enough to support us in manufacturing large quantities of armor and Mo Dao, and strengthening the military equipment of the Six Guards of the Eastern Palace."

Li Chengqian nodded, this was all within expectations.

"How many pieces of armor do you have in the Pei family?"

Pei Xingjian was stunned, but still answered truthfully: "A total of 180 sets of armor."

"Is there any armor repairman? I have some armor that was damaged by an explosion and needs repair."

Pei Xingjian cupped his hands and said, "I will write a letter to recruit craftsmen to come to the capital."

Li Chengqian looked at Li Jing and asked, "How do we deal with the prisoners?"

Li Jing stroked his beard and said, "The enemy generals were also warriors who committed suicide before being captured. As for the soldiers under them, I have interrogated them briefly before. They are the kind of warriors who don't know the identity of their masters. They only know that someone is supporting them and will die for them when necessary!"

"Death warriors..."

Li Chengqian took a deep breath and said, "It is indeed a family that has been passed down for thousands of years, with a deep foundation and is so terrifying!"

"Now that the noble families have taken action and know about the existence of gunpowder, we cannot remain silent. What should we do next? Tell us what you think."

Pei Xingjian cupped his hands and said, "I think we should remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances. They are only trying to assassinate Your Highness and have not shown any rebellious intentions. We just need to continue to consolidate our strength and continue to squeeze the financial resources of the aristocratic families, forcing them to ally with the King of Wei. Then..."

Li Chengqian objected, "No, Your Majesty has issued an order that Li Tai must leave Chang'an within three days. I want to see Li Tai's head within three days."

"Then we have to fully expose the power of gunpowder!" Li Jing suddenly said.

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up after hearing this: "That's right, the current firecrackers are too weak to make the noble families feel a sense of crisis. We have to create a more powerful firearm!"

"Explosive pack!" Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji exclaimed almost at the same time.

"Yes, it is a bomb, and it must be placed in a family mansion in Chang'an City. This family must be deeply loyal to Li Tai and powerful. Only in this way can it play the role of forcing and adding fuel to the fire."

Li Chengqian looked at Pei Xingjian and asked, "Which one do you think is suitable?"

"That's naturally Qinghe Cui!"

Cheng Yaojin's eyelids twitched after hearing this!

Oh my god, it actually got to my wife’s family.

Who cares? Anyway, my wife is from a side branch and is insignificant...

At the same time, the person in charge of the Qinghe Cui family in Chang'an was also beating his hands and stamping his feet in the Prince of Wei's palace.

"We failed at the last moment. We didn't expect the gunpowder to be so powerful. We lost three hundred armors in vain!!"

Li Tai also had a worried look on his face: "This assassination attempt failed. Father will surely be furious. I'm afraid my life will be difficult..."

"It's okay. As long as His Highness is still in Chang'an, we still have a chance."

Who would have thought that at this moment, Li Shimin's imperial edict arrived.

After the imperial edict was read out, Li Tai fell to the ground like a deflated ball.

"It's over. It's completely over now..."

The man walked out from inside, also with a frown on his face.

"Your Highness, do you want to accept your fate or give it a try?"

"Give it your all!" Li Tai instantly stood up again.

Fang Yiai's eyes lit up: "Sir, you want to..."

"That's right. With His Majesty's trust in the Crown Prince, Your Highness has no chance of winning except that one way..."
