Chapter 764
At this moment, deep inside the Da Chu Imperial Palace.
Emperor Chu asked: "What is the current response of various countries?"
"Your Majesty, all the other five countries in the world have cut off trade relations with the Tang Dynasty!" an old eunuch said respectfully.
Emperor Chu was a little surprised: "Oh? Are you sure that all trade has been cut off? Especially the Northern Qi Dynasty, which is an ally with the Tang Dynasty. Could it be that Northern Qi has also drawn a clear line with the Tang Dynasty in terms of trade?"
"Your Majesty, I am sure that Northern Qi has indeed drawn a clear line with the Tang Dynasty. In my opinion, the Spring Festival is coming soon, and the Northern Qi Dynasty does not want to go to war with our great Chu because of this!" the old eunuch said with a smile. .
Hearing this, the Emperor of Chu snorted coldly: "Think of them as Northern Qi, otherwise I, the emperor, would go on a personal expedition, command an army of millions of tigers and wolves, and destroy Northern Qi in one fell swoop! By the way, what's the reaction from the Tang Dynasty?"
"As soon as the economic sanctions came out, the Tang Dynasty was shocked, and countless people were dumbfounded. Now the people of the Tang Dynasty are panicked, and even ordinary people are scared to death, but..." At this point, the old eunuch paused.
Emperor Chu frowned suddenly, and asked in a deep voice: "What?"
"But Tang Yu, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, keeps saying that he wants to break the economic blockade of our country, Chu. He plans to start by refining refined salt!" the old eunuch said truthfully.
"What? Tang Yu'er plans to refine salt?"

Emperor Chu dismissed it: "Since ancient times, how many ancient sages have tried to refine refined salt, but unfortunately they have failed! If the Tang Dynasty could refine refined salt, it would indeed be possible to break our economic blockade, but it is a pity that none of the ancient sages have ever refined it. What ability does he have to refine refined salt? Don’t take this matter to heart!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" the old eunuch responded respectfully.
While Emperor Chu was talking to the old eunuch, the sixth prince Chu Baole sneaked into the harem.
"Baole, why are you here?"
Concubine Zheng, who had been rescued by a group of imperial doctors, had regained consciousness. Her face was pale and her condition was not very good. When she saw Chu Baole arriving, her charming face was full of surprise.
Chu Baole glanced around and said solemnly: "The queen mother is ill. The child is worried about the queen mother's health, so she came here to visit!"
"You all, please stand down!" Concubine Zheng knew that Chu Baole had something to say to her.
"Yes, your concubine!"
When the maids heard this, they immediately retreated without hesitation.
After confirming that everyone had retreated, Concubine Zheng lowered her voice and said, "Baole, what's the situation outside? Does your father still want to declare war on the Tang Dynasty?"
"Mother, when you were unconscious in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, I rushed over. I deliberately said that Ye Zhan and others wanted to support Chu Yunteng and deliberately rebelled. Perhaps my father was afraid and gave up on attacking the Tang Dynasty!" Chu Baole was afraid that the walls had ears, so he also lowered his voice.
"Stop fighting? That's good, that's good!"
Hearing this, Concubine Zheng was relieved. She was afraid that at this critical moment, the Chu State would declare war on the Tang Dynasty, and that the Tang Dynasty would not be able to cope with it with its current comprehensive national strength.
Chu Baole continued: "But this time, my father was furious. Although he did not raise troops to attack the Tang Dynasty, he made harsh words and imposed economic sanctions on the Tang Dynasty. Anyone who dared to trade with the Tang Dynasty would be punished. You will suffer the thunderous suppression of the Great Chu, and now the other five countries in the world have drawn clear trade boundaries with the Tang Dynasty due to my father's intimidation!"
"What? Your father actually imposed economic sanctions on Datang?"
Concubine Zheng was surprised at first, and then she sighed quietly: "Queen Mother, what I can do is really limited. Whether I can break through the economic sanctions depends on the Tang Dynasty!"
"Mother, I have something to ask you, and you must tell me the truth!" Chu Baole said in a serious tone.
Concubine Zheng was a little surprised: "Baole, if you have something to do, it's okay to say it!"
"Whose child is this in the mother's womb? Is it Tang Yu's?" Chu Baole frowned.
"well!"
Concubine Zheng had already expected it. When asked by Chu Baole, she could only sigh silently.
Although Concubine Zheng did not answer directly, Chu Baole understood what Concubine Zheng meant.
His eyes widened in disbelief: "Mother, you are so confused! Even if you are trying to make peace with Tang Yu behind your father's back, you are actually pregnant with Tang Yu's child? The most shocking thing is, You dare to bring this child to Dachu, aren't you afraid that your father will be suspicious?"
