Datang: Changle, I really don’t have any private money for my husband

Chapter 162 Let's have a tougher fight!

If you want to kill Liu Sheng in public in Chang'an City, what is the difference between that and slapping Li Shimin in the face in public?
Unless Li Shimin is dead, they have the courage and ability.

But they have the ability to kill Li Shimin, so it would be better to rebel directly.

Even though they disrespected Li Shimin in the dark, they had to admit that they were not opponents of the imperial court.

Therefore, everyone did not refute the bullshit that the other party uttered, and there was no need to refute at all.

This is different from "if".

Li Yanshou also said helplessly in his tone:
"You also know Liu Sheng very well. If he makes a move, can he still show you this flaw?"

"He is an evil boy, not to mention his delicate thoughts, and his methods are very vicious. Once he makes a move, I am afraid that he will not be able to stop it smoothly. Let's report to the master first, and then discuss the countermeasures after the master reacts."

Everyone nodded, Cui Renshi gritted his teeth and said unwillingly:
"However, we can't give up on the delaying strategy of buying local books, we have to do it at the same time!"

Cui Renshi clenched his fist, originally thinking that other people present would agree.

But I never thought that even Li Yanshou, a good old man, was silent, and the people of the Li family said:
"Forget it. Last time we listened to you and made our own decisions. We have already caused a lot of losses to our family."

"At the moment we are fighting with Liu Sheng, and we have held back too much energy. We understand what Brother Cui means, but forgive us for being helpless, we can only ask Brother Cui to do it ourselves."

"You, you..." Cui Renshi looked at them helplessly and nodded one after another, obviously agreeing with the words of the Li clan.

He felt a little depressed, but he was still fighting for it:

"Then the current suppression of Liu Sheng cannot be relaxed. On the contrary, we have to increase the pressure on the other party! Let him have no scruples, and we can't just let it go!"

He wants to take revenge on Liu Sheng, otherwise, the Cui family will be the only ones who will face Liu Sheng in the future. After all, they were the biggest initiators last time and also the leaders this time, and they are the ones most hated by Li Shimin and Liu Shengji.

Everyone had no opinion on his proposal.

After nodding their heads and making a promise, they left.

……

As the news of the reopening of the imperial examination spread throughout the world, Liu Sheng also set a time with Li Shimin.

Just one month later, there is actually no need for much preparation. After all, this is just a trial, and it is near Chang'an City. After all, the level near Chang'an City is the highest.

If it can be successfully held near Chang'an City, then as long as that defect is made up, there is nothing to say.

Li Shimin also knew, so he didn't rush to know the answer, but gave Liu Sheng a month to prepare, and then gave him an answer later.

Anyway, in the vicinity of Chang'an City, qualified scholars do not lack books in their hands, at least everyone has them.

And Liu Sheng also returned home.

He already had an idea in his mind, since the monopoly of talents and knowledge is the foundation of the aristocratic clans, it might as well be a more ruthless one.

Thinking of this, he started to work on another ancestral grave of the family.

On this day, Liu Sheng was still racking his brains in the backyard study, and Wu Meiniang came in.

For pregnant women at home, the study room has never been a forbidden place, even Princess Changle can come in and out at will.

"Meiniang, what's the matter?" Seeing that Wu Meiniang's expression was not good, Liu Sheng asked hastily.

Now that she has a child in her belly, the ups and downs in her mood are not good for her, but no matter how much Liu Sheng persuades Wu Meiniang to have a baby with peace of mind, and just leave the business to the subordinates, Wu Meiniang will not listen.

Recently Liu Sheng and Wu Xing Qi Wang beat people alive, how could she feel at ease to raise a baby?
Liu Sheng was also very helpless, he gave up his seat to Wu Meiniang, and then he said:

"So what's the matter? Could it be that the five surnames and seven Wangs have some tricks?"

Wu Meiniang rubbed her lower abdomen, her eyebrows slightly frowned and she said:

"Recently, the five surnames and Qiwang seem to have gone crazy. They keep increasing the number of stores in Chang'an City. Not only have the prices dropped a lot, they're even secretly unclean."

"Many of our shops have been attacked by them, and some shops have even been smashed by some hooligans they instigated."

"If things go on like this, the shops under us will be destroyed."

The Five Surnames and Seven Wangs exerted their greatest power to block Liu Sheng in all aspects of business. This time they even cooperated with these dirty moves in an attempt to drag him down.

Liu Sheng is only the county magistrate of Chang'an County and cannot govern the entire Chang'an City, so shops in many places are struggling to support.

Liu Sheng knew that it was difficult for his subordinates. Recently, the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes have intensified, even more serious than he imagined.

Wu Meiniang looked at the continuous damage to the family property, and she was anxious in her eyes. She didn't care about her physical discomfort, and always paid attention to the situation of the store under her hands.

"Now our store has a serious loss of customers. Many stores are deserted. Husband, what should we do?"

Even if she wanted to be strong, she panicked about this matter.

"Meiniang, don't worry, the most difficult moment has not yet come, and there are still ways for my husband to deal with it."

Liu Sheng comforted Wu Meiniang for a while, and then she relaxed from the bottom of her heart.

"Actually, this is a good thing for us."

"Good thing?" Wu Meiniang looked at Liu Sheng puzzled.

Liu Sheng put his hands behind his back and said:
"Recently, His Majesty is going to reopen the imperial examination, have you heard about it?"

Wu Meiniang is ice-snow smart, even the curse of being stupid for three years does not work on her, "Is this what your husband suggested?"

Liu Sheng nodded slightly, as an admission:

"The behavior of the five surnames and Qiwang just proves that they are panicking now."

"That's why they frantically compressed our space without any scruples and seized our customers, just to concentrate on the resumption of the imperial examination in the future."

"Also, let the husband admit defeat, they not only achieved their goal, but also avenged the loss that the husband caused to them last time, so that they can have an account."

"It's ridiculous, do you really think I can't do anything to them?"

Liu Sheng turned around, spread out the paper on the table, and handed it to Wu Meiniang, "Look at it, and feel at ease, the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes won't last long, and they will panic soon."

Wu Meiniang took the paper and read it.

After a while, she also had shock and disbelief on her face:
"Can Your Majesty promise us?"

A confident look flashed across Liu Sheng's face, and he said with a smile:

"Your Majesty will definitely agree, and he will be very happy. This is the second cooperation between us and the imperial court."

Seeing Liu Sheng's confident expression, Wu Meiniang felt relieved a lot, and she was extremely proud that this is her husband!
