Dahan first prince

Chapter 138 There is a mother born, but nothing taught by a mother!

Hearing Lu Shizhi's words, Liu Ying's leisurely elegance of "walking on snow" disappeared in an instant.

However, Lu Shizhi's report on grain prices in Chang'an did not end there.

"The minister has also spread his eyes and ears to various places in Guanzhong. The spies all reported: Not only in Chang'an, but in all places in Guanzhong. The price of grain has been rising by [-] yuan a day since the first ten months of the year. Up to now, it has been nearly [-] yuan!"

"As for the skyrocketing price of grain, it was the Changling Tian family who led the way and colluded with the wealthy grain merchants from all over the customs, which made it possible today!"

Listening to Lu Shizhi's solemn expression, there was no trace of warmth on Liu Ying's face.

"Have you ever found out what these profiteers and evil merchants want?"

"When and at what price will the price of grain rise?"

Hearing Liu Ying's palpitatingly cold tone, Lu Shizhi also shivered subconsciously.

After a few words, he said with a serious face: "I have not found out what this generation of profiteers want."

"However, a few days ago, the Xiangfu received a report from Hangu Pass and Wuguan Pass: Since last year's autumn harvest, there are almost no grains from Guanzhong to Kandong."

"What's more: at the beginning of the first month of spring, there were occasional grain merchants who used carts and horses to transport grain from outside the pass to the center of the pass!"

"I think this is probably not a good omen..."

Listening to Lu Shizhi's serious tone of voice, Liu Ying's already cold heart fell to the bottom of the valley.

——The grain merchants in Guanzhong, instead of transporting the grain from Guanzhong to the Kanto, started transporting grain from the barren Kanto to the interior of the Guanzhong?

What this means, Liu Ying is too clear.

——This means that from the current first month of spring to the fifth month of summer, when grain prices reach their peak this year, there must be one to two months in which the price of grain in Guanzhong will be lower than that in Kanto expensive!

So, what happened to make the price of food in Guanzhong, known as the "land of abundance and richness", even higher than that in the barren Guandong?
There is only one answer.

"Limited supply..."

"Hunger marketing······"

With an inaudible voice, whispered these two nouns that are commonplace in later generations, and Liu Ying stepped forward slightly with sullen eyes.

Bending down slightly, propping her elbows on the depression of the outer stack of the palace wall, looking at the Beique next to the palace wall, Liu Ying couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

"Uncle, do you know when Dengwen Drum came into existence?"

Hearing Liu Ying's sudden question, Lu Shizhi couldn't help but stepped forward with doubts on his face, and looked down at the giant drum under the North Tower, standing quietly under the wind and snow.

""Zhou Li·Xiaguan·Da Pu" contains: The drum is built outside the door of the big bedroom, and the big servant is in charge of its affairs, so that the poor will be ordered suddenly, and when they hear the sound of the drum, they will quickly rebel against the imperial servant and the imperial concubine. .”

"That is to say, Qin Wangzheng wiped out the six kingdoms and unified the world. This ceremony is temporarily abolished."

"And Han Zuo Li, today's Taifu Shusun Tong ordered by His Majesty to formulate the "Han Ritual", saying: "Set up a drum in the North Tower. If the people have grievances, they will climb the North Tower and attack it, so that the emperor can hear it; the drum will be heard." The Son of Heaven comes out to defend the people's grievances in person."

"And the name 'Dengwen Drum' also comes from this."

Listening to Lu Shizhi's answer with a serious expression, Liu Ying only nodded slowly with a gloomy expression.

"Uncle, do you know that since the Eastern Zhou Dynasty started this drum to call out grievances, has there ever been a time when people beat it because of grievances?"

"Since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the uncle Sun Taifu established the Han ceremony to set up the Dengwen Drum in Beique, and it has been six years since the Dengwen Drum of our Han Dynasty. Did the wronged people come to attack it, and heard about it for the father and emperor. And appearing in Beique?"

Hearing these two questions from Liu Ying in a low tone, Lu Shizhi lowered his head almost instantly with a face of shame.

"Your Highness..."

"Since the Eastern Zhou Dynasty launched this drum for the people to express their grievances, it has been around for hundreds of years..."

"Whether the Great Servant Drum of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the private drum set up by the princes of the Warring States Period, or the Dengwen Drum of the Han Dynasty today, have never been beaten by the people..."

Listening to Lu Shizhi's voice gradually weakening, Liu Ying let out another long sigh with a heavy face, her cold eyes locked firmly on the giant drum standing outside the palace wall, standing under the North Tower.

"Father and emperor established Han Guozuo for six years, and all the people in the world praised him: benevolence."

"However, my nephew is under the order of my father, and I am less than half a year old as a crown prince. I am afraid that the Dengwen Drum of Beique will be struck soon..."

After saying that, Liu Ying couldn't help but shook her head and straightened up, put her hands behind her back, and Yang Tian sighed.

After a while, Liu Ying lowered her head, her horrifying eyes were locked on the direction of Changling, which is north of Chang'an, where the outline cannot be seen.

"Changling Tian, ​​have you found out the details?"

Hearing Liu Ying's suddenly serious tone, Lu Shizhi couldn't help but hastily straightened his waist.

"Everything has been identified!"

"In the sixth year of the Han Dynasty, Xiao Xiangguo was ordered by His Majesty to move all the Tian Qi royal family into the customs to live in Changling. Later, because of the excessive prosperity of the Tian family's side branches, it was divided into several places."

"Now it is the Tian family of Liang Jia, and it is the direct line of the former Tian Qi royal family!"

"He lives in the east of Changling, with a house of more than 17 mu. There are 76 direct males, [-] collaterals, hundreds of female relatives, old and young, and hundreds of servants and servants in the house!"

"Except for his house, within tens of miles to the left of Changling, the Tian family has 70 grain storage warehouses, which can hold grain and rice, nearly [-] shi..."

Listening to Lu Shizhi's jaw-dropping series of numbers, a strange smile slowly appeared on Liu Ying's face.

"Ah······"

"Single-line males, there are 17 people..."

"Hundreds of female relatives, old and young, hundreds of servants and servants..."

"Sixteen granaries, storing more than [-] shi of grain..."

Sneering and muttering these few times, Liu Ying finally turned her head and looked at Lu Shizhi with a sneer on her face.

"It's about time."

"The Changling Tian family has been doing evil in Guanzhong for many years."

"Now let them know: the three thousand miles of Qinzhong, the rich land of Tianfu, is it the home of the Tian family, or is it the Guanzhong of our Liu family?"

When she said this with a sly smile, Liu Ying suppressed the smile on her face, and her face suddenly became solemn!
"In the eleventh month of winter, the Shaofu received [-] shi of grain from the state treasury; so far, it has been more than two months, and the grain of the Shaofu may have been exhausted."

"Besides, spring is approaching in February, and the winter grain left by the people will be gone soon, and the rice in Guanzhong will cost nearly [-] yuan a stone!"

"If you want to make the Dengwen Drum of Beique not to sing during the period of Gujian Kingdom, there is only one way!"

"——Slaughter the evil Shangtian clan all over the family, and use the earthquake to close the middle!!!"

Throwing down these words full of murderous intent, Liu Ying once again looked at Lu Shizhi with murderous intent in her eyes.

"I have already told my mother about Tian's matter, and my mother also agreed with Gu's plan!"

"Uncle Huan Lao immediately went to the proclamation room, told the queen about this matter, and transferred five hundred soldiers from the Southern Army, and sent them to Changling immediately!"

After speaking, Liu Ying turned her head and looked at the Prime Minister's Mansion at the foot of the palace wall, which was only a few hundred steps away from the North Palace.

"If you are alone, then go to the Prime Minister's mansion to meet with Prime Minister Xiao, so as to prepare for the bandit soldiers, that is, to ban Changling!"

After saying that, Liu Ying thought about it carefully for a while, and made sure that she hadn't missed anything, so she made a gesture to walk under the palace wall.

After walking a few steps, Liu Ying came to her senses: Lu Shizhi, why didn't he seem to answer?
Turning around with a gloomy face, seeing Lu Shizhi standing in the same place full of sorrow, making a look of hesitating to speak, Liu Ying's expression darkened again.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing this, Lu Shizhi's complexion was cloudy for a long time, but finally he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, stepped forward and bowed to Liu Ying.

"It's too late to inform the family."

"—Changling Tian, ​​indeed this time, the mastermind behind the turmoil in grain prices in Guanzhong."

"However, if the family wants to use the death of the Tian family to calm down the grain price in Guanzhong, there are two other things that the family has to worry about..."

Hearing this, Liu Ying couldn't help but froze for a moment, and nodded slightly to Lu Shizhi suspiciously.

Lu Shizhi cupped his hands again, stepped forward, and put his ear on Liu Yingbang's side, less than a foot away.

"First: When I was investigating the details of the Tian family in Changling, I heard rumors in Changling that in the first ten months of the year, there seemed to be a guest of King Zhao who entered the Tian mansion from the main entrance."

"In just a few days after that, the price of food in Chang'an will rise by [-] yuan a day..."

"This time, the Tian family is making trouble in Guanzhong and driving up grain prices. I'm afraid..."

In the middle of speaking, Lu Shizhi couldn't help but pause.

He looked around, and then looked at the inner and outer sides of the palace wall, and after confirming that "the partition wall has no ears", he possessed himself by Liu Ying's ear again.

"I'm afraid King Zhao and Qi Ji are also causing trouble..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ying's brows frowned, although she was slightly annoyed on the face, the sultriness in her heart couldn't help but worsened.

Taking a deep breath, clenching her teeth, she forced herself to suppress the anger in her chest. After such a long time, Liu Ying finally couldn't hold back the bursting out of anger.

"I don't know how serious!"

Boom! !

Following a mournful roar, the inner wall of the palace wall hides above, followed by a dull crashing sound.

"There are mothers, there are no things taught by mothers!!!"

Withdrawing her somewhat bruised fist from the wall, Liu Ying yelled again, ignoring the pain.

Forcefully suppressing her anger, she breathed out repeatedly for a long time, and finally resisted the urge to rush into Changle Palace and stab Liu Ruyi and Madam Qi's mother to death, Liu Ying looked at Lu Shizhi with a sullen face.

"I don't care about this matter!"

"Wait until the Tian clan is wiped out, and then let the emperor decide the crime of King Zhao!"

Hearing Liu Ying's words, Lu Shi was overjoyed.

Only a moment later, Cai Cai's complexion was worse than before, and when he mentioned the word "Zhao Wang", he was even more sad.

"In addition to King Zhao, there is one more person, and the family has to worry about it."

"If the Tian clan is destroyed, and this person is not properly settled by the family, I am afraid that the family may also lose their prestige due to this matter..."

Seeing Lu Shizhi's expression of fear when he talked about Zhao Wang and Liu Ruyi just now, Liu Ying couldn't help but feel even more puzzled.

"how?"

"Apart from that lowly concubine, does the Tian family have anything else to rely on in the court?"

But when Lu Shizhi heard the words, he shook his head worriedly.

"Not the meritorious princes and courtiers of the foreign dynasty, nor the forbidden concubines and princes."

"This person······"

Having said this, Lu Shizhi stopped talking with fear on his face, and suddenly changed the subject.

"Fang Cai, the family said: Two of the six Confucian classics have been lost; today, only four of them are "Poetry", "Li", "Yi", and "Spring and Autumn".

"The descendant of "Poetry" is Duke Fuqiu, the teacher of the king of Chu; the direct lineage of "Li" is Lu Jia, a senior official in the Taizhong, and "Spring and Autumn" was learned by Zhang Cang, Marquis of Jixiang."

"The family can tell: who is the descendant of the contemporary "Book of Changes", what is his surname, and who is his alias?"

　Tomorrow, Sunday, 2 more, after 12:5 tomorrow night, that is, Monday morning, there should be 7-[-] more.

　　After that, it will basically start daily 4-5 updates~
