Chapter 1229 Prince Qing’s Mansion Muchuan forced an agreement, Li Shimin was unhappy but beyond reach
"Are you crazy?"
Li Tai said in shock.
Muchuan said calmly: "I have already said that I want to do something in my career."
Li Tai took a deep breath and said: "You are not doing a career here, you are building a country.
Do you know how much human and financial resources it takes to build a country?
Even if you have so many people, even if you have so much money, you can't do it.
Your Majesty is still alive, and he will never allow you to do such nonsense.
If you stop now, I can pretend this never happened."
"no!"
Muchuan said categorically, "I only want one result, which is to make the Tang Dynasty the most powerful and leading country in the world, and to make all foreign races surrender under my feet.
Our Tang Dynasty is the only empire!"
Li Tai said: "Mu Chuan, I admit that you are very powerful. You can lead thousands of cavalry to destroy Silla, defeat the Turks, and kill Turk generals.
But if you want to do this, you must first conquer our people in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise you will have to pay a high price."
Muchuan smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about this.
I will find a group of people with lofty ideals, organize a group of people, and ask them to do this kind of thing for me.
I just need you to help me build Youzhou and Shengjing.
When you help me establish a good foundation, your status will rise and you won't be controlled by others.
Think about it!"
Li Tai said: "Let me think about it."
His mood at the moment was extremely complicated. He was unwilling to betray his father, but he also knew Muchuan's ambition. If this continued, it would sooner or later lead to a catastrophic disaster.
He hesitates now!
"Your Highness, my patience is limited."
Muchuan said, "If you don't want to, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
Li Tai gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want?"
Muchuan said: "First, don't tell anyone my plan.
Second, you go back immediately to gather people and help me build Youzhou City first.
Third, you immediately write an edict and declare your allegiance to me.
I can give you a chance."
When Li Tai heard these three conditions, he almost vomited blood.
This is simply bullying and the demands are too much.
Li Tai said: "Mu Chuan, don't bully others too much!"
Muchuan said calmly: "If you don't want to, then forget it.
You can go back and tell the truth, saying that I am up to no good.
Or you can tell His Majesty that I want to rebel."
Muchuan smiled and suddenly said: "Prince, you are a smart man, let's not talk nonsense.
If you are willing, I can keep your life.
If you don't want to, I have no regrets."
After Li Tai listened, he was silent for a long time.
Finally, Li Tai said dejectedly: "You win! You win.
This king is willing to admit defeat!"
"very good!"
Muchuan stood up, patted Li Tai on the shoulder, then turned and left.
"Wait..." Li Tai suddenly shouted: "Mu Chuan, I can cooperate with you, but you must guarantee my interests. My shares in your bank are still valid."
Li Tai is not stupid. He knows that if he is kicked out of Muchuan's interest group, he will definitely lose everything in the future.
And he also knew that since Muchuan dared to talk to him, his plan must have succeeded, otherwise he would not take the risk to negotiate with him.
Muchuan stopped, smiled slightly, and said: "Prince, don't worry, your equity will always be yours.
In addition, the governor will send you a few people who can help you manage banks and factories in Luoyang.
In the future, when I build a large enough city in Shengjing, I will send you money and food so that you can move to Shengjing with your family."
Muchuan talked with Li Tai for a while and then left the palace. He said to his men Xue Dingshan and Dou Yihu at the door: "Okay, withdraw the troops and immediately take over all the troops directly under Prince Li Tai and put him under house arrest.
Remember, don't hurt his life.
As for his family, please don’t touch them for the time being.”
…
Li Tai sat on the chair, looking dull.
After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "Have I been fooled?"
Although Li Tai is a playboy, he is not a fool, he just lacks wisdom.
What Muchuan said just now was really too tempting.
The conditions put forward by Muchuan not only brought him huge benefits, but also solved his troubles and freed him from a lifelong situation of being looked down upon.
Li Tai suddenly fell into a dilemma.
The benefits Muchuan offered Li Tai were too great for him to refuse.
But the problem is, Muchuan's plan is too crazy and completely unrealistic.
Youzhou Prefecture should be changed into Beiping Prefecture and rebuilt on the same site.
It is impossible to build a prosperous capital city in the northeastern plains, unless Muchuan really has the power to reach the heaven and the earth.
Muchuan walked outside the palace and looked at the busy scene in front of him with a satisfied smile on his face.
He looked at Fan Lihua next to him and said, "Lihua, we are going to fight again this time."
Fan Lihua looked at the towering palace wall and said: "I know that your Excellency is about to take up his post in the north. The border relations with the Turks there are currently tense, and there will definitely be a war in the future."
Muchuan said: "I plan to turn Youzhou into Beiping Prefecture, which is very close to the north.
Once we establish a stronghold in Beiping Prefecture, it will be much easier when we conquer the whole country."
Fan Lihua said in surprise: "Your Excellency, you want to attack the whole country?"
"Hahaha..." Muchuan laughed and said, "Lihua, have you forgotten that I once said that you will become a pillar of the Tang Dynasty?
Our goal is not just the north, nor just the western regions, we also have a very broad sky."
Fan Lihua said: "I trust you, sir."
"Um."
Muchuan smiled with satisfaction.
…
What followed was the mobilization of troops and horses throughout Luoyang.
With Li Tai's support, Muchuan once again raised 50,000 elite troops.
Including 10,000 Turkic prisoners, a total of 60,000 people are about to go to Youzhou.
Muchuan's large-scale military mobilization quickly caused shock to the entire Tang Dynasty.
Especially Li Shimin, he just issued an order to urge Muchuan to take office in Youzhou, but he didn't expect that Muchuan would cause so many things before taking office.
Over the years, Emperor Li Yuan had been secretly watching Li Shimin and waiting for him to make mistakes, but he could not resist Li Shimin's desire to make contributions.
Moreover, Li Shimin has always been worried that his son, Prince Li Zhi, will oust him from power.
Therefore, during this period, Li Shimin continued to win over civil and military officials, hoping to control the court.
Li Shimin was also an extremely smart man. He knew that civil servants were unreliable and must cultivate his own team of military commanders.
For example, Li Tai and Muchuan were both his chosen confidants outside Chang'an City.
And Muchuan is the one he is most optimistic about.
