Chapter 90: Waves
Lord Liu wanted to protest against this, but because Li Ling had not shown up for a long time, he had to stop talking.
Seeing that he was silent, the ministers around him looked even more proud.
"I don't know what the two princes do with the group of foreign traders?"
Several ministers stepped forward and questioned them.
Li Heng talked about his approach with a smug face.
"The merchants of the Lieyun Empire are also outsiders in the territory of Daqian, but their appearance has also promoted the development of commercial trade, and it is reasonable to not drive them away, so His Highness gave them a warning and let them live."
Hearing this, several ministers showed a look of joy on their faces and expressed their satisfaction.
And Li Xuan stepped forward with a solemn expression.
"The merchants of the Lieyun Empire are stealing and playing tricks in the territory of Daqian, not only stealing a small amount of catties, but also shoddy, no matter what kind of behavior, they have violated the law of my Daqian, and after dealing with the law of my Daqian, they will be sentenced to fines and sick according to law, and they will be repatriated to the Lieyun Empire in the future, and they will not be allowed to clear customs and trade in the future."
Suddenly, there was an uproar, and many ministers thought that his handling was too serious.
The smile on Li Heng's face was even brighter, thinking that this time it must have been better than Li Xuan's iron-faced selflessness.
"The merchants of the Lieyun Empire have also brought us a lot of taxes, logically speaking, it is a good thing, naturally we can't drive them away so viciously, what the Seven Princes have done is too harsh, and it will definitely cause a war between Daqian and the Lieyun Empire in the future."
Another minister stepped forward and was not satisfied with Li Xuan.
"The six princes are kind-hearted, and give these traders a chance to mend their ways, so that they can also ensure the long-term trade between the Burning Cloud Empire and our great cadres."
Everyone was full of praise for Li Heng, but Li Heng also knew that if he wanted Li Xuan to be convinced, it still depended on Li Chengzhou's attitude.
I saw Li Heng walking to Li Chengzhou's side in front of everyone.
"I wonder what Uncle Huang thinks about this matter?"
He threw the question to Li Chengzhou, and Li Chengzhou looked calm at this moment.
The eyes kept wandering between the two, and then they made up their minds.
"The two princes did very different things, but they also led to different consequences."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Chengzhou, trying to see who he was supporting.
"The six princes are kind-hearted, and if they give these traders a chance, they will not offend the Burning Cloud Empire, at most, our local traders will be bullied."
His words aroused Li Heng's displeasure, there was no way to get the best of both worlds, and doing so also protected the interests of one party.
But Li Chengzhou's words changed, and his face became a little fierce.
"The Seven Princes quickly drove away the merchants of the Burning Cloud Empire with thunderous means, although they preserved the local merchants in the imperial city, but they also offended the Burning Cloud Empire because of this, such actions are too harsh, this kind of thunderous means will only make people fearful, and it is impossible to continue to establish diplomatic relations."
A happy smile gradually appeared on the faces of many ministers around him.
What they were waiting for was Li Chengzhou's resistance to Li Xuan, so that Li Heng would become the new emperor.
But at this moment, several ministers hurried over, with shocked expressions on their faces.
"Oh no, no......"
The minister came panting, dusty, and a nervous look affected the emotions of everyone present.
"Those Burning Cloud Empire traders who were let go by the Six Princes have made a comeback, not only disrupting the market, but also humiliating the local traders in the Imperial City, and now it is difficult for our traders to continue to maintain business."
The surrounding ministers suddenly looked nervous, they didn't expect the merchants of the Burning Cloud Empire to be so bold.
Suddenly, there was chaos in the court.
At this moment, Li Heng restrained his smile and looked nervous.
He didn't expect such a disaster, and he didn't know how to deal with it.
"These traders have raised prices, and now the people in the imperial city are struggling to make a living, not only can they not buy anything, but even the grain in their hands has been taken away."
No one expected that the merchants of the Burning Cloud Empire bought the grain in the hands of the people at a high price a few days ago, and immediately raised the price after monopolizing it.
Nowadays, the people are struggling to make a living, and they are miserable.
"How's that good? If it continues, it won't be long before the people riot. ”
Several ministers had a look of trepidation on their faces, fearing that they would also be implicated in the event of a riot among the people.
Hearing this, the other ministers looked at Li Xuan for help.
Although he stood there without saying a word, he had a plan in his heart at this moment.
As early as after learning about the strategy adopted by Li Heng, he knew that there would be such a day.
However, he can't take the initiative to take action, otherwise he won't be able to suppress Li Heng.
The eyes of the ministers fell on him, Li Xuan didn't say much, but he thought about it in his heart.
"Seventh Prince, today's matter can only be solved by you."
Li Xuan nodded slightly, and agreed in the petition of the ministers.
The ministers' actions were undoubtedly questioning his ability, and Li Heng suddenly looked angry, but he was helpless.
At the same time, Li Xuan went to the Teaching Workshop Division to find Li Chengzhou, trying to get him to give him an idea.
"Uncle Huang, now that this mess is in my hands, what do you think I should do?"
Hearing this, Li Chengzhou smiled slightly.
He took out a bag from his arms and handed it to Li Xuan.
"Just act according to the tricks, Li Heng wants to show his benevolence, but he doesn't know that benevolence is the least valued."
The implication was that he could successfully disperse the remaining traders of the Burning Cloud Empire and restrain their expansion.
"What they really want to control is not the shopping mall, but the entire imperial city, so as to annex the Daqian Dynasty."
Suddenly, Li Xuan's face changed suddenly.
But with the clever plan given by Li Chengzhou, he suddenly had confidence in his heart.
"Everything is thought out if you think it through, you do it carefully, and it will definitely pay off."
With the confidence given by Li Chengzhou, he suddenly became very calm, and then solemnly saluted Li Chengzhou.
"Today, with the guidance of the emperor's uncle, if you can ascend to the position of the ninety-five supreme in the future, you will not forget the grace, and please rest assured that the nephew will be able to do everything well."
If Li Chengzhou hadn't given him guidance behind his back, how could he have achieved what he is today?
Seeing that he was so grateful, Li Chengzhou's face showed a smile of relief, and then nodded slightly.
After sending Li Xuan away, Li Chengzhou looked like a sure winner.
According to Li Chengzhou's instructions, Li Xuan quickly found the trouble this time, which was that several foreign traders colluded with each other and wanted to suppress them.
He first took a few gaps to collect evidence of their crimes, and learned that several people were involved in a murder case, and immediately found a breakthrough.
"This matter is handed over to Lord Gu of Dali Temple, and we must not let go of this group of extremely vicious people."
