Everyone's questioning eyes were too obvious, and Li Tai was immediately embarrassed.

At this time, he didn't know what to say.

If someone misunderstood like this, he really thinks that he and Chen Zhengtai play a double act, then Chen Zhengtai is nothing, but he is a noble man. Once this happens, he will be despised by thousands of people.

But...how can we deny it and make everyone believe it?

For a moment, he found himself unable to argue.

Because it was obvious that he cheated everyone.

Think about it, a group of people happily exchanged a lot of copper coins and went home, and sold their ancestral property. As a result, everyone found that the money...is everywhere in their hands.

Li Tai was a little confused at this time, and he was thinking in his heart that if he didn't say anything, he would be misunderstood!

So he deliberately gritted his teeth and said to Chen Zhengtai: "This method of smelting copper is a great way to avoid harm. Father, my son-in-law thinks... like this kind of copper smelting will cause the overflow of copper coins on the market. At that time, my son-in-law is afraid... the people will no longer care about copper coins... This is a big disadvantage in the world. The mineral veins here should be banned immediately and the Chen family will not be allowed to smelify copper."

He said this out of helplessness, because only by opposing Chen's copper smelting can people believe that he has no relationship with Chen Zhengtai.

But after hearing his words, Li Shimin couldn't help but look disappointed.

He saw Li Tai's behavior, but the person in front of him was his son and his own flesh and blood.

Therefore, no matter what Li Tai does, Li Shimin tries his best to think in the better direction.

But these words seemed to have stoked Li Shimin's heart.

Li Tai spoke, and as soon as he said this, it was like a word awakening the dreamer. Wei Xuanzhen and others seemed to have caught a life-saving straw.

Yes, the only way now is to prevent Chen's copper smelting. Otherwise... it will be over.

In fact... the official refining of copper coins in the Tang Dynasty was very expensive, and the cost was even more expensive than the copper coins they practiced!

In other words, the official printing of copper coins is actually a loss. Now that Chen Zhengtai’s large-scale manufacturing has reduced the cost to the lowest level, it is already conceivable that copper coins are flooding.

Wei Xuanzhen was very anxious now and immediately said, "Your Majesty, what Your Highness, King Yue said is very much. If this continues, I am afraid that copper coins will spread and harm the people. Wouldn't the copper coins in the hands of the people be worthless? Please ban this mine immediately for the sake of the people of the world."

Someone took the lead, so some people said, "Mr. Wei said so much."

"Your Highness of the King of Yue is a pearl ornament..."

Li Shimin heard the noisy sound and his face was pulled down.

Chen Zhengtai suddenly had a voice: "When will the people have money?"

These words suddenly appeared, making people speechless.

Just as everyone was about to attack him, Li Shimin suddenly snorted coldly: "It seems that all the ministers are confused. I have always heard that there is little money on the market, so many people even have to barter. These... But some, now, what's wrong with smelting copper and iron?"

He asked this question, then looked at his son Li Tai meaningfully, and then said lightly: "My son is still young after all. I'm afraid he doesn't know that this copper ore is actually not valuable, because there are many copper ore in the world. Can you stop this copper vein from overflowing copper coins? Otherwise, you have seen Chen Zhengtai's method of smelting copper and iron with your own eyes. There is nothing strange about it. It's just gunpowder to open mountains and explode stones, or just building this blast furnace. Even if there are any secret techniques inside, others don't know, but so many craftsmen here will know more or less. Don't you see it here with your own eyes? If Zhenxian does not smelify copper, then other prefectures and counties will also smelify, and there are great benefits here!"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin paused for a moment before sighing and said, "As long as there is great profit, even if I forbidden people in the world to dig copper veins, some people will take risks and take steps back ten thousand steps. I will not refine the Tang Dynasty, what about the Tubo people, what about the Goguryeo people? What about the great cannibals?"

"It is simple to ban this thing. That is to kill all the craftsmen here immediately. But after killing the craftsmen, have you not seen them with your own eyes? How can I guarantee that you will not take risks secretly according to this method? Even if you have not figured out the details for ten years, you can't figure out the Chen family's method of smelting copper for twenty or thirty years? If you want to completely reject this method, should I kill all the smels of the family?"

The word "kill" suddenly made people's heart jump and a chill inexplicably felt.

Yes, everyone has seen the things, and there are many principles in them. You may not understand them now, but when you think about them in this direction, sooner or later, someone will make trouble for this thing! Do you want to keep it secret? Then kill all the people here, which can guarantee the secret of Chen's bronze smelting method.

Everyone was silent, only feeling serene.

Li Shimin kept his hands behind his back and continued to look at his son. He could feel Li Tai's panic mentality. On weekdays, this fat boy was polite, generous and polite, but today he was obviously a little out of control.

Li Shimin said: "Qing Bird."

"Son... I'm here." Li Tai's face was pale and responded weakly to Li Shimin.

He has caused trouble to this aristocratic clan. Thinking about the land of these people, he almost sold it in one hand. Now... selling the land is a huge loss, and the money he received... I am afraid he will lose another big loss.

Li Shimin stared at Li Tai and said, "What's more, this copper mine was jointly invested by Chengqian, Princess Sui'an and Chen. The palace has gained a lot of benefits from it. I want to ask you, "You speak the world and the people and the people's welfare. Who taught you these words?"

As soon as Li Shimin said this, Li Tai was immediately struck by lightning.

Is this actually my brother and the Chen family?

And it seems that the father had obviously known it for a long time. In this way, wouldn’t the father always protect them?

This message is really terrible!

He always thought that his father loved him very much, but he never thought that his father kept his mouth shut and he was the last one to know about such a big thing.

What's even more terrifying is... This is obviously why Chen Zhengtai is fearless. Now the father asked him who taught him what he said. It's not clear that the father disagrees with his words and thinks he is standing opposite to his parents?

When Li Tai thought of this, he was immediately trembling. He found that he could not answer this question at all!

If he told his father that this was taught by someone else, wouldn’t the people around him become the culprit? His father must punish them, and once he confessed these people, how can he win people’s hearts in the future?

But if I grit my teeth and don’t say anything, and take all the responsibilities on myself, then how will my father view myself?

After a while, Li Tai had already thought a lot in his mind, while Li Tai gritted his teeth and did not dare to say a word.

Li Shimin saw Li Tai's reaction, and he said coldly: "Qingque, do you think that the palace is in opposition to the people of the world. If there is an investment in the palace, it will cause great harm to the people? Is this your thought?"

Li Tai's face became more and more panicked, and he hurriedly said, "No, no, I don't dare to think so."

Li Shimin suddenly sternly: "You are!"

This sudden harsh shout scared everyone, and Li Tai hurriedly said, "My son is dead."

"You regard me as Emperor Yang of Sui, and think that if you have savings in the palace, you will definitely harm the people of the world. You are my son."

When Li Shimin said this, he obviously felt extremely heartbroken.

You are my son, but what you think about is to buy the hearts of others and make profits for them. Do you think they will become a wise king if they praise you a few words?

But what about me, I raised you so much, so I cared for you, but where is I in your heart?

"You should learn from your emperor brother and learn from your senior brother. Although they are not as polite as you, they are not as polite as you and are well-mannered and well-versed in the meaning of the scriptures, but they understand what righteousness is." Li Shimin said sternly.

"Son minister...son minister..." Li Tai had never heard his father say such harsh words to him. For a moment, his heart was in chaos and he didn't know how to deal with it!

The ministers on the side were also at a loss because this time, Your Majesty's words were too explicit.

They knew that on the surface, the emperor was scolding Li Tai, but in fact... these words were clearly said to them.

I have a share in this copper mine, and no one of you can make any decisions.

This is the bottom line!

I will never be polite if anyone has crossed this bottom line. I can scold my beloved son here, and of course I can deal with you without hesitation.

The cold light in Li Shimin's eyes continued to scan Li Tai.

Chen Zhengtai was already impressed by Li Shimin.

No one among these ministers started to complain. As soon as possible, everyone was shocked by the copper block in front of them and was about to attack.

Who knew that His Majesty's scolding Li Tai suddenly made Wei Xuanzhen and others silent.

Although I was so lucky that my pants were gone, I was so arrogant that I didn’t dare to let it go.

Who dares to be wronged? Do you really think Li Erlang's knife is fake?

Li Tai's face was ashamed at this time. He bent down and said for a long time: "Father, son minister... son minister knows that he is wrong."

"I hope you know you're wrong." Li Shimin's tone calmed down, but under this calmness, there seemed to be some kind of ferocity: "The matter of the copper vein is not something you can say, nor is it something you can argue about in the palace. If you like reading, then study hard."

Li Tai was cold. What does this mean? What kind of trick is hidden?

Li Shimin then walked to the mountain-stacked copper ingots, took a piece of copper ingot, and touched it in his hand. The copper ingot was heavy and smooth on the outside. This craft was really rare!

He immediately said, "It is thanks to the prince and Chen Zhengtai who can melt it. Although the prince is young, he already knows how to share my worries. The so-called "those who are close to the vermilion are red and those who are close to the ink are black. I think that's the case."

This sentence is just a pun, and the key to the question is, who is Zhu and who is black?

Li Chengqian was at a loss for a moment. To be honest, he hadn't been praised by his father for a long time and was a little uncomfortable.

He glanced at Chen Zhengtai, and a look of admiration flashed in his eyes. He said in his heart that Chen Zhengtai is capable, and he can be appreciated by his father even if he is alone.

Chen Zhengtai immediately said: "Student..."

Li Shimin pressed his hand and signaled Chen Zhengtai to stop. Then, he carefully put the copper ingot down, then turned around and looked at Li Tai again, and his voice became softer: "The King of Yue has grown up too..."

After hearing this, everyone felt a little chill in their hearts.

The previous sentence said that the prince was still young, so he could already share his worries. But then he thought that the next sentence said that Li Tai, who was younger than the prince, grew up.

A half-old child actually said to His Majesty that he had grown up, and this growth was clearly alienated.

Everyone looked at Li Tai with complicated eyes.

Now the truth has been revealed, everyone is played with by His Majesty. On the surface, Chen Zhengtai is playing with everyone as a monkey, but in fact, the person behind Chen Zhengtai is the current emperor.

And Li Tai... is also the monkey, the big one.

At this time, everyone felt the sadness of the rabbit and the fox, but they didn't dare to say anything.

I am afraid that Li Shimin suddenly said, "Since the King of Yue has grown up, then... it is time to be a vassal. Qingque, I have ordered you to be the King of Yue, governor and control the twenty-six states of Yangzhou and Yuezhou. When I enthroned you, I had already built the Yue Palace for you in Yangzhou. Now this Yue Palace has been in the scale of several years and has become a scale. Since you have grown up, according to the etiquette of my Tang Dynasty, it is time to move the vassal of Yangzhou and be your Yue King."

When Li Tai heard this, his face was filled with the words of shock.

Is this going to drive myself out of Chang'an?

When Li Tai thought of leaving Chang'an, he immediately felt sad.
