Datang: Time travel in two months, wait online, hurry up!

"We'll find out later at the Great Court Assembly."

Xiao Yu smiled and walked towards Tai Chi Hall without saying much.

Li Shimin told him not to spread the word, so he naturally obeyed the order.

Seeing that Xiao Yu refused to speak, everyone understood that it must be His Majesty's will, so they didn't ask any more questions.

Soon, everyone entered the Tai Chi Hall and found their seats and sat down.

Li Shimin entered the Tai Chi Hall and sat on the highest seat.

"Yesterday, the price of cloth in Chang'an City was halved, and there was no limit to the sale. Did you all know about it?"

Li Shimin glanced at everyone and asked lightly.

"Report to Your Majesty, I will find out later!"

Everyone replied in unison.

"I have heard the news that the King of Wu invented a machine that increased the production of cloth by three hundred times!"

"Also, many ministers wrote a letter yesterday asking me to make King Wu the crown prince."

Li Shimin didn't tell the truth, and directly told the courtiers the news.

boom!

This news suddenly exploded in the Tai Chi Hall like a heavy bomb, causing a commotion in the Tai Chi Hall!

Cloth production has increased by three hundred times?

What is this concept?

Moreover, there are actually many people who wrote a letter to make Li Ke the crown prince?

After hearing the news, everyone was shocked at first, and then suddenly realized expressions appeared on their faces.

At this moment, they finally understood why Li Shimin gave Concubine Yang the privilege of being in charge of the harem.

Cloth production has increased by three hundred times, and the significance of this number is clear to everyone present.

For Datang, this is definitely a great contribution, and it is really not too much to give the crown prince!

However, the crown prince is the foundation of the country after all, and should not be easily shaken and replaced.

Judging from Li Shimin's final decision, this is indeed the case.

He did not abolish Li Chengqian's crown prince, but gave Concubine Yang the privilege of being in charge of the harem.

It is equivalent to Li Kefeng being unsealable, so he can only pass this credit on to Concubine Yang.

Originally, many people disagreed, but after hearing Li Shimin's words, they fell silent.

Because this matter is actually very simple, if Li Ke has made such a great contribution, it will definitely not work if he does not reward him.

And this kind of great contribution, small favors are obviously not enough.

Either give the prince the position, or give the queen privileges.

This 160 is just a multiple-choice question, so which one can you choose?

Including Li Chengqian, Changsun Wuji and others, after hearing what Li Shimin said just now, they were almost scared into cardiac arrest!

Especially Li Chengqian, when he heard that Li Ke had increased the cloth production by three hundred times, he was extremely shocked.

Then when he heard that someone wrote a letter to make Li Ke the crown prince, he turned pale with fright.

Because he knew very well in his heart that Li Ke made such great achievements, if Li Shimin was really cruel, it would not be an exaggeration to make Li Ke the prince.

But Li Shimin still did not do this, but passed on the credit to Concubine Yang and let Concubine Yang take charge of the harem.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, his entire back was soaked!

Yesterday he was also very dissatisfied with Li Shimin letting Concubine Yang take charge of the harem, but he didn't know that if Concubine Yang was not allowed to take charge of the harem, then his crown prince would have ended since yesterday!

Comparing it now, he suddenly felt that it would be good for Concubine Yang to be in charge of the harem!

Changsun Wuji also thinks the same way, he is also very grateful and afraid in his heart, Li Shimin still cares about his feelings, otherwise something big will happen yesterday!

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Everyone understood Li Shimin's decision, and most people supported Li Shimin's decision.

The other part regretted not taking advantage of this opportunity to make Li Ke the crown prince.

But no matter what, all the ministers in the Tai Chi Hall had a faint premonition in their hearts.

That is, if Li Ke's credit can be passed on to Concubine Yang this time, who will it be passed on to next time?

If Li Ke is allowed to be sealed by himself, how should he be sealed?

Perhaps, at that time, after the seal is really unsealable, even if you don't want to, I'm afraid you can only give the crown prince?

Otherwise, wouldn't it be the same as when His Majesty was King Qin?

The prince is weak, and the king of Qin has made great achievements in battle, but Emperor Gaozu has been uniting with the prince to suppress the king of Qin.

In the end, King Qin killed the prince and King Qi at the Xuanwu gate, thus forcing Emperor Gaozu to make King Qin the prince, and finally gave way to King Qin.

And if Li Ke continues to make meritorious service, if he still can't become the prince, then he may choose to make the same choice as His Majesty who was still King Qin!

This is very detrimental to the stability of the Tang Dynasty and the stability of the imperial court.

In order to avoid this kind of tragedy from happening again, everyone has gradually figured it out.

By then, maybe the crown prince will really be changed!

PS: Second more! .

Chapter 269 Li Chengqian's Dangerous Idea!Datang's first giant ship launched!

The ministers could think of this, so naturally Li Chengqian, Changsun Wuji and others could also think of it.

This made them, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, look dignified again, and their hearts became extremely nervous.

Changsun Wuji was fine, but simply felt a strong sense of crisis, thinking that Li Chengqian's crown prince position was very unstable.

But Li Chengqian's inner thoughts gradually became dangerous. Some kind of desperate thoughts had occurred in his mind before.

But that thought has been deeply suppressed all the time, after all, once that step is taken, it is very likely that there will be an abyss ahead.

The main thing is that something went wrong, that is, it is beyond redemption, so he has been suppressing that thought in his heart, preventing that dangerous thought from sprouting.

But now, under all kinds of pressure and threats, the idea in his heart is growing wildly!

Even, he began to plan involuntarily in his heart.

"How's your preparations going?"

Li Shimin immediately looked at Hou Junji and asked a question.

"Report to Your Majesty, all kinds of military supplies are being deployed and produced rapidly, and everything is progressing smoothly!"

"The minister has sent personnel to create troubles between my Tang and Goguryeo borders, and everything is proceeding as planned."

"Now the army has been assembled and training is being stepped up."

Hou Junji stood up immediately and told Li Shimin about the current situation.

After listening, Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction. Hou Junji is still trustworthy in handling affairs.

The material is being prepared, the reason for the war is being created, and the army is also being trained.

At present, everything is still going smoothly. You only need to wait until you are fully prepared and the weather warms up, then you can go to the conquest by yourself.

Then Li Shimin explained a few more words and then retreated.

Seeing that Li Chengqian seemed to be thinking about something, Changsun Wuji thought he was worried about Li Ke's threat.

"Prince, there is no need to panic. This time His Majesty's personal expedition is your chance to make meritorious service."

"This time, Li Ke's contribution is definitely not as good as yours."

Although Changsun Wuji felt that Li Chengqian's chances were getting hotter and smaller, he still offered a word of comfort.

No way, who made him choose to support Li Chengqian in the first place?

Although Li Chengqian is very dangerous now, who else can he support besides Li Chengqian?

Li Tai?It doesn't make a difference either.

Li Zhi?Still too young to compete with Li Ke.

Therefore, now he can only go to the dark one way and continue to support Li Chengqian.

"I understand."

Li Chengqian nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing that Li Chengqian was still calm, Changsun Wuji couldn't help being a little relieved.

As a prince, you should be like this, you must be calm and calm in the face of everything.

However, Changsun Wuji didn't know that what Li Chengqian was thinking about was not meritorious service, but other very dangerous things!

In Chang'an City, everyone has been buying cloth frantically since yesterday. Although a large amount of cloth was brought back from Yangzhou, with Chang'an's millions of people rushing to buy, you can buy as much cloth as you want in minutes.

Therefore, Wang's shop announced that they were all sold out, and they would notify everyone in the newspaper when they were restocked.

However, all the cloth market in Chang'an City was taken away by Yangzhou textile workshops, and the original textile workshops in Chang'an lost business all of a sudden.

However, Li Ke had made new arrangements for the Chang'an textile workshop as early as after receiving news from Yangzhou that the steam engine had achieved results.

From now on, Chang'an Textile Workshop no longer produces ordinary linen and cotton.

Instead, it turned to the production of higher-end silk and satin, such as silk, a higher-end textile.

In the future, it will focus on high-end styles and take the route of luxury goods.

Although linen cloth is cheap, it is mainly aimed at a large number of ordinary people.

But the royal family, or the princes and nobles, naturally would not wear clothes made of linen.

Nowadays, many princes and nobles wear pure cotton clothes, but silk and satin are the most recognized in the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, Li Ke has made a division of labor for the current four textile workshops, and the three textile workshops in Yangzhou, Dengzhou and Quanzhou are mainly based on output.

Chang'an Textile Workshop focuses on high-end products.

The market for high-end products is much smaller, and the output of Chang'an Textile Workshop is completely sufficient.

So although it lost the market, in fact, Chang'an Textile Workshop has long been psychologically prepared, and it also began to transform as early as when Li Ke left Chang'an City.

The arrival of this day is actually not surprising.

Time soon came to the second day.

The two newspapers, Datang Daily and Datang Official Daily, both published the content of yesterday's Great Court Meeting.

When everyone learned that Concubine Yang was bestowed the power of empress by His Majesty, heated discussions arose.

"The imperial concubine is really going to become a queen〃‖!"

"Concubine Yang thinks so much about me as a woman from the Tang Dynasty, so she is naturally the queen."

"Why is it that you take the power of the empress instead of directly establishing the empress?"

"Your Majesty, how can I guess? Maybe Queen Wende just passed away?"

"If Concubine Yang is the queen, wouldn't His Highness King Wu be the crown prince?"

"It seems to make sense!"

The emperor and the empress are the two most distinguished people in the Tang Dynasty, so the topic of the empress' position naturally attracted the attention of many people.

After all, this topic was discussed some time ago, and many women hope that Concubine Yang can become a queen.

Now that Concubine Yang is really in charge of the harem, although everyone feels a little surprised, they are not surprised.

It's just that someone thought of a very critical question.

That is, if Concubine Yang becomes the queen, wouldn't Li Ke have a chance to become the prince?

Compared with Concubine Yang becoming the queen, everyone still hopes that Li Ke will be the prince.

Because in this way, Li Ke can stay in Chang'an City all the time, without going to other places.
