I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 233 Enough Playing, Close the Net!
"Young master wins, it's because he is arrogant!"

After being shut down in the womb of the crown prince, the people of Fan City had no choice but to return home depressed, and nestled in the bedroom indignantly.

But apart from roaring incompetently, the people of Fan City have nothing to do with Liu Sheng.

——As Liu Sheng said: Since it is a business, it must follow the rules.

From the beginning to the end, Liu Sheng has always followed the 'rules' and never made any move that broke the rules of the game.

As a prince, Liu Sheng also bears the status of a "quasi prince", and was directly appointed by the emperor as a "special envoy to stabilize food prices";
Such a complicated identity did not allow Liu Sheng to break the rules of the game and play some shady tricks. The more than [-] princes from Fan City, including the people of Fan City, obviously did not have the confidence to disobey the rules.

After people from Fan City came to make such a fuss, the princes couldn't buy the 700 million shi of grain from Shanglincang.

But in this regard, most people are still quite optimistic.

——Only 700 million shi of grain, how long is it enough to last?

There are nearly a million households and millions of people in Guanzhong. If each person buys one or two stones, the Shanglin warehouse can be completely emptied!
Liu Sheng kept the grain in the Shanglin warehouse, and it would be a great deal to keep the grain price from skyrocketing for half a month at most.

When the 700 million shi grains are all sold by Liu Sheng and eaten into the stomachs of the people in Guanzhong, everything will still be back on the 'right track'.

Realizing this, the dukes and grain merchants quickly reached an agreement;
——Before the Shanglin warehouse was emptied and the last grain in the hands of Gongzi Sheng was sold to the common people at a low price, all the grain merchants in Guanzhong closed their doors behind closed doors!
Wait for the son to win first, and sell all the food in his hand;
After the sale is over, the big guys will raise the price of the grain up by a thousand dollars, and then sell it out bit by bit.

I can only say: the ideal is very happy, but the reality is very skinny.

After unanimously deciding to 'close the doors', the princes and grain merchants focused all their attention on the palace where Liu Sheng lived.

On the fifteenth day of the second lunar month in spring, Liu Sheng finally took action.

"65 money?"

Anling Town, Du Mansion, heard that Liu Sheng set up grain sheds in Chang'an and sold cheap grain at a price of 65 qian per stone, but the Patriarch of the Du family only nodded thoughtfully.

"It's ten dollars higher than last year, which is appropriate..."

"Well, let's explore again."

"When will Young Master Sheng's grain shed stop selling grain, come back and report."

···
"Shang County, Yiyang, Hongnong, Lushi..."

"—So, the food price in Hongnong County is 62 yuan?"

"Ya County, Pinyang, Lian Shao, Yunyang, Lantian, Xinfeng..."

"Basically around [-] yuan..."

"Well, let's explore again."

···
"Explore again."

···
"Explore again."

···
···
······
The expected news came back from various places in Guanzhong, but it did not arouse the vigilance of the grain merchants.

As everyone expected: Liu Sheng started selling grain in various parts of Guanzhong.

The price ranges from 65 to [-] yuan per stone, and it is also not beyond everyone's expectations.

But as time went by, everything felt a bit wrong.

three days;

five days;

seven days;

ten days······
Half a month has passed, and the time has come to spring and March.

The eyes and ears sent by grain merchants and princes to various places in Guanzhong sent the same news back to Chang'an City almost every day.

——Young Master Sheng is still selling grain!
——Everywhere in Guanzhong, wherever you want, there must be a county within a hundred miles, and Gongzi Sheng's cheap grain is being sold in the county town!
At the beginning, everyone was a little lucky, thinking that the 700 million shi of grain from Shanglincang was smuggled to various places in Guanzhong by Liu Sheng.

But as the news spread, the merchants couldn't sit still.

"what?!"

"Shanglincang, there are still 700 million shi of grain?!"

"--how is this possible!!"

"If there is no shortage of grain in Shanglincang, where did the cheap grain that Young Master Sheng sells in Guanzhong come from?!"

···
"Maybe it's Young Master Sheng, what's left behind..."

"But even if there is additional food, it will definitely not be too much!"

"Explore again!"

This time, the merchants put up all their energy and concentrated on inquiring about the Taiwo Palace, as well as the Dongjin of Taicang and Shanglincang.

But what happened next made the merchants' hearts full of longing fall to the bottom little by little...
three days;

five days;

seven days;

ten days······
fifteen days.

Another half month has passed.

The time has come to the middle of spring in March.

Liu Sheng has been selling cheap food for a full month in various places in Guanzhong!

According to a conservative estimate, Liu Sheng sold at least 2000 million shi of grain in this month alone!
But what is horrifying is: Taicang, intact;
Go to the forest warehouse, the door of the warehouse is closed.

For more than a month, Liu Sheng was like a fairy, conjured more than 2000 million shi of grain out of nowhere, and sold it to the people in Guanzhong at a low price.

What makes people even more frightened and thirsty is: no one knows Liu Sheng's "supernatural power", where is the head...
"I can't sit still and wait for death!"

"If you let Young Master Sheng continue to sell like this, the food in our hands will not be sold!"

The first to panic were the grain merchants including the Anling Du family and the Wei family's Su family.

But flustered and flustered, even if everyone became ants on the hot pot, they couldn't think of any good solution.

——When the big guy was buying grain, the son won, but he didn't even meet everyone!

I haven't seen it when I bought food, and now I want to come to try it out, let alone see it...

Fortunately, this time, not only the grain merchants were involved.

After learning that the common people in all parts of the Guanzhong had been buying the cheap grain from Gongzi Sheng for a month in a row, the dukes who bought the grain before couldn't sit still.

After a simple discussion, a total of 37 princes walked out of Shangguanli and strode towards the palace of the crown prince.

As for the palace, it is another scene...
·
The main entrance of Tai's uterus is still closed;
But the side door, which has been opened for nearly half a year, has been swept clean inside and out, and it is obviously ready to 'welcome guests'.

The side hall next to the side palace gate was also opened under Liu Sheng's order;

Opening all the doors and windows that could be opened, Liu Sheng finally nodded his head in satisfaction as he looked at the palace room illuminated by the sun and filled with fresh air.

"Go, prepare tea."

"Guests, it's almost here."

With a relaxed command, the palace people left one after another;

As for the side hall, there are no more, no less, a total of 37 seats.

It's just that, unlike ordinary gatherings, or when guests come to the door, the host's house faces south, the guests sit in the east and west seats, and the seats facing the host are arranged on the side - all of these 37 seats are facing the palace gate. , facing Liu Sheng, who is in the first place.

To be precise, these 37 seats are not like guest seats;
On the contrary, it is more like a "class seat" when students come to the door and listen to the class in front of the teacher.

——Today, Liu Sheng intends to personally go out and teach these 37 idiots a lesson.

It's just the tuition fee for this class...

"Ah Sheng, how much capital do you intend to leave for the dukes today?"

Hearing his elder brother Liu Pengzu's joking question, Liu Sheng raised his head with a sneer, and made an 'ok' gesture again.

"Thirty percent?"

"—A Sheng, do you want to eat [-]%?"

"I didn't see the food, so I lost three costs for no reason, leaving only [-]%..."

"Young princes, can you agree?"

The slightly apprehensive words made Liu Sheng frown suddenly.

"Seventy percent, that's mine!"

"Whether I can get back the remaining [-]% depends on my face!"

"—it made me anxious, even if it's [-]%, I won't let them keep it!!"

"Tenano's..."

The anger for no reason only made Liu Pengzu's complexion froze for a while, and after thinking for a while, he swallowed all the words that came out of his mouth.

But Nanpi Hou Dou Pengzu obviously still had some doubts about Liu Sheng's decision.

"Young master..."

"Really only plan to leave three costs for them?"

"--how?"

"—When the matter has come to this point, is it possible for my cousin to intercede for them?!"

Before Dou Pengzu could finish his sentence, Liu Sheng said something coldly, blocking back all of Dou Pengzu's unfinished words.

"Cousin don't need to persuade."

"This matter, I know it well."

"Father and grandma have already reported it."

Seeing that Dou Pengzu still wanted to speak, Liu Sheng brought out the two giant Buddhas of Empress Dowager Dou and Emperor Qi without hesitation, completely blocking Dou Pengzu's mouth.

With a gloomy expression, he turned around and sat in front of the case;

Looking in front of him, there were 37 empty seats facing him.

His cold eyes cast slightly to the side, Lieutenant Zhidu who stood silently like an old pine.

"Today, there is Lieutenant Lao."

After a simple greeting, Liu Sheng finally sat up straight after Zhidu also nodded with a gloomy expression.

A moment later, the 37 meritorious princes who rushed into the uterus aggressively and walked into the side hall were not surprised to see such a scene;
——On the first seat, Young Master Sheng sat upright, with a solemn expression on his face!
On both sides of the main seat, there are Nanpi Hou Dou Pengzu and the emperor's seventh son Liu Pengzu, each facing Liu Sheng and facing the people in the hall.

Nanpi Hou Dou Pengzu just lowered his head silently;
The emperor's seventh son, Liu Pengzu, was surrounded by bamboo slips.

Looking at the three uncles and nephews above, they all lowered their heads and looked at the inside of the hall. There were no more, no less, 37 seats facing Liu Sheng. Fan Shiren was annoyed again!
"male!"

Not waiting for the word "gongzi" to exit, everyone realized later: Lieutenant Zhidu, like a goshawk that landed on a tree, squinted his eyes and scanned everyone in the hall in sequence... ·
"It's useless if the lieutenant comes!"

"—Today, I must wait for an explanation!"

With courage, but subconsciously hiding in the crowd, with such a cry, the Fan City people hurriedly bent down and completely hid themselves in the crowd.

It's a pity that in the short time in the past, the people of Fan City came to the Taiwo, they were too diligent...
"Marquis Wuyang, do you have something to say?"

"—Since you have something to say, you should stand up and say it face to face, right?"

"Marquis Wuyang from five thousand households in the food city, dare not even show his face in front of my mere 'Gongzi Sheng'?"

The merciless cynicism only made the people of Fanshi's cheeks turn red.

But remembering his reason for coming, the people of Fan City finally plucked up their courage, walked forward with their heads held high, and sat down at the seat closest to Liu Sheng.

But at the top, Liu Sheng raised his head without haste, patiently waiting for the other 36 people to take their seats in the hall one after another.

He raised his hand again with a sullen face, and the palace servants at the side stepped forward and offered tea to the 37 Marquis Che in front of him. Liu Sheng's extremely cold eyes fell on the heads of the people of Fanshi.

"Junhou said just now that I want to give you an explanation."

"Let's put this matter aside."

"—It's Junhou, why don't you give me an explanation first?"

The cold and low tone only made dozens of figures in the hall freeze up!
But when he saw the head of the seat, Liu Sheng's eyes were fixed on the position five steps in front of him, and he was already a bit restless from Wuyang Houfan city;
In his hand, he took out a roll of bamboo slips from his bosom, and gently lifted it to his side.

"Summer Sparrow~"

Before the words were finished, Xia Que at the gate of the palace quickly stepped forward and took the bamboo slip from Liu Sheng's hand.

"To all the princes and princes."

"—Remember Wu Yanghou, how he slandered and slandered me in front of my father."

As soon as the words came out, everyone stretched their necks together, and cast their suspicious eyes on the people from Fan City sitting in the front.

Following Xia Que's feminine voice, which is exclusive to eunuchs, resounding in the side hall of the Crown Prince's uterus, the native of Wuyang Houfan finally lowered his head in shame and indignation...
"dance······"

"Cough cough..."

"The Marquis of Wuyang, a native of Fanshi, would like to play Your Majesty;"

"In the 13th year of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, the minister heard people say: Mrs. Jia is not satisfied with the position of 'madame', and she also has a grudge because the holy family is no longer there."

"Xia, Your Majesty moved to Ganquan, Mrs. Jia stayed in Guangming, private..."

"Secret and adultery..."

"--read!"

"—not a single word, read it all!"

The bamboo slips read normally, Xiao Xia Que was already trembling with fright, and the bamboo slips in her hands were a little unsteady;

But when Liu Sheng widened his eyes, glared viciously at the Fanshi people in front of him, and yelled out the word 'Nian' through gritted teeth, Xia Que had no choice but to calm down.

Regardless of the cold sweat on his forehead and his hands and feet shaking, he blinked tremblingly and continued to read: "Qiu, Your Majesty returned from Ganquan, Madam Jia is pregnant;"

"In the spring of the following year, in the 14th year of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, his wife, Jia Shi, gave birth to the emperor's nine sons..."

···
"Chen Wen..."

"Chen Wen..."

"Your Majesty, if you want to win with the son, you will be, be the crown prince..."

At the end of the reading, when she glanced at the last few lines, Xia Que couldn't hold it anymore, and fell to her knees with a slap!
The bamboo slips that Liu Sheng took over also fell to the ground;

Xia Que didn't care about the bamboo slip at all, she just knelt down at Liu Sheng's feet, kowtowed tremblingly...

"Marquis Wuyang..."

"Fan's..."

"Ah;"

In the silence, Liu Sheng finally got up from the couch, bent slightly, and picked up the bamboo slips on the ground.

He walked forward with a sneer, and casually threw the scroll of bamboo slips in front of the people of Fan City.

"Er Liao, is this the only ability?"

"—Is the father Wuyang Wuhou, Fan Kuai and Fan Xiangguo, who used such dirty methods to teach his nephews and younger generations?"

···
"In Chang'an City, there are more than 3 households and more than 20 people;"

"Even the birds on the trees and the fish in the river know what is the 'Mother of the Son of Mo Yu'..."

"Hey;"

"hey-hey······"

When it came to the end, Liu Sheng was already very angry and laughed back. With only an extremely sarcastic smile, he took advantage of the situation and squatted in front of the people of Fan City.

"Today, even if I pick you out with a sword, you bastard, no one can pick me out."

"Even if I am a Tingwei, I will still be a loyal and filial son Sheng;"

"Er Liao, do you think that if I become a prince, I won't protect my mother anymore?"

"—Where did you get the guts to swagger in Chang'an..."

"Who borrowed your guts to come to the uterus so grandiosely and ask me to give you an explanation?"

In Mingming Hall, there are at least forty people;

Obviously, any one of these forty people is more "noble" than the current Liu Sheng.

But at this moment, listening to Liu Sheng's piercing and icy voice, everyone lowered their heads subconsciously.

Liu Sheng's cousin, Nanpi Hou Dou Pengzu;

Liu Sheng's elder brother, Liu Pengzu, the seventh son of the emperor.

And in the hall, there are a total of 37 Chehou. On weekdays, Liu Sheng would take the initiative to salute and greet him as a "junhou".

But at this moment, no one dared to raise their heads to meet Liu Sheng's ice-cold eyes even once.

Of course, it also includes Marquis Wuyang in front of Liu Sheng: a native of Fan City...
"You want me to explain?"

"it is good."

"Then tell me, what kind of explanation do you want me to give?"

"——What shocking and appalling thing did I do to attract all 37 descendants of the nobles and founding fathers of the country to denounce me as 'Master Sheng'?"

The tone was extremely flat, even so flat that it was a bit scary, and finally made everyone in the hall carefully raise their eyelids;
But at this moment, Liu Sheng was standing in front of the people of Fan City with his head held high and his face solemn.

With his hands behind his back, the corners of his eyes, which had already been squinted, swept across everyone in the hall in sequence.

"Who will say?"

"Who will tell me, what did I do to get to the point where I want to give you an 'account'?!"

"—Could it be that I, the Liu family, owe you mountains of gold, mountains of silver, and even Jiangshan and Sheji!"

"Life after generation, children and grandchildren, don't you still know the great military exploits your ancestors made for our Han family!!!"

The sudden roar caused everyone in the hall to shrink their necks quickly, and raised their eyebrows and eyes for a while, and then lowered them again in an instant.

——It seems that everyone has forgotten: the one who made this roar was only a 14-year-old boy;
This young man is just a 'son'...
"Say!"

"If you can't tell, no one wants to leave!"
