Chapter 382: Hong Fu
Chu Bei sat in the Yongji Gambling House, and the dignified prince set up a gambling game, and the odds were so high, the civil and military officials felt that Chu Bei despised the national law, and felt that he was too bold.
This is to gamble all the net worth, including the fiefdom of Yongzhou.
It can be said that the future and life are gambling, so impulsive, how can you be a prince and a king of a country in the future?
Those ministers were ready to impeach Chu Bei, and they were interested in the gambling game, but they didn't care about it for a while, such high odds, coupled with the sunny day overhead, if they don't gamble secretly, they really can't get along with money.
Instead of impeaching Chu Bei, angering him, and making the emperor unhappy, why not take a gamble?
Bet 1,000 taels, and in a blink of an eye, it's 70,000 taels.
And a thousand taels is just a drop in the bucket for them, and they won't frown even if they lose.
After making up their minds, those ministers paid money one after another and asked the family to buy King Yijun to lose, betting that it would not rain today.
Kyoto is full of powerful people, even if one person bets a thousand taels, not to mention that there are people who want to take the opportunity to make a windfall, there are 10,000 taels of bets, and all kinds of things add up, but in an hour, Yongji Gambling House sent someone to inform that a bet of 100,000 taels has been placed.
Not many people still know about this, and when it spreads, there will be at least 500,000 taels or even more bets.
If Chu Bei loses, he will have to pay 35 million taels if he loses......
The number is big, Rao is Qingyun is also a little dizzy.
What's even more dizzy is still behind, Zhennan Hou and Old Lady Jiang, as well as Hou Ye, know about this, and they all came to the palace to find Chubei.
As soon as Zhennanhou entered the door, he said. "Chen'er, my grandfather always thought that you were calm, what did you do. My grandfather was very relieved, but this time, you set up such a big gamble, do you know what the consequences will be if you lose?! ”
Chu Bei nodded and said. "I know."
"I know you're still gambling!" Old lady Jiang is also very angry, "You know that there are tigers in the mountains, and you prefer to go to the tiger mountains!" ”
Hou Ye nodded. Expressing his agreement with Old Lady Jiang and Zhennan Hou, he didn't want to blame Chu Bei, so he looked at Qingyun, "Why don't you stop it?" ”
Qingyun pouted. Father. Look at Zhennanhou and his grandfather, they all said directly Chu Bei, why are you rushing at me, you are a persimmon picking up soft pinch, you know, she said, "By the time I knew, the matter had already settled, and the original odds were not one to seventy." It's one to seven, and it's the Yongji Gambling House that made a mistake. would bet so much. ”
"Yongji Casino?" Zhennanhou's brows tightened, "A small gambling house, dare to make such a big mistake?" ”
"It's definitely not easy!" Old Lady Jiang said coldly.
Zhennanhou and Old Lady Jiang were trying to find a way to remedy it, but only Chu Bei stood up and said that the bet was wrong.
In the face of the future, temporary face is nothing.
Chu Bei looked at Zhennan Hou and said, "Grandfather, the matter has come to this point, I can only wait for the result, maybe it's not a bad thing." ”
Zhennan Hou frowned, "You also know that it is perhaps, what if it is really a bad thing?" ”
Chu Bei stood up and said, "If it doesn't rain today, it won't prove the innocence of King Yijun, he and the old prince can only go to the Northern Jin Dynasty to apologize, this can be said to be a fatal blow to the palace of the king, is my grandfather sure that he will snatch the military power of the old prince from the hands of the prince of Xingguo?" If not, the military power falls into the hands of the Xingguo Gong, and the position of the prince must be the king of Anjun, I will lose after all, so why struggle again? ”
"Even if the military power falls into the hands of the Duke of Xingguo, you will have no chance of winning if you don't taste it," Zhennan Hou said.
Chu Bei smiled, "It's still early tomorrow, and I still have a chance to win." ”
Old lady Jiang sat aside, he didn't know what to say, how brilliant the sky was outside, walking around, his body was soaked, where did the odds come from?
"Are you sure it's going to rain today?" Hou Ye couldn't help but ask.
If you weren't sure, you wouldn't have done such a risky thing.
Chu Bei nodded, "Master Huijing guarantees with Xiang Shang's head that it will rain today." ”
Master Hou, "......." ”
Old lady Jiang, "......." ”
Zhennanhou, "......." ”
The three of them stood up in unison, as if they had agreed.
Qingyun looked at them, and Zhennan Hou said, "It's okay, I'm going home." ”
Qingyun, "......." ”
The three of them left without looking back, Qingyun stood up and shouted, but no one looked back to talk to her.
Qingyun was a little injured, she looked at Chu Beidao, "As for it, Master Huijing said that it will rain today, will it definitely rain, what if there is an accident?" ”
Chu Bei looked at Qingyun and said with a smile, "When you married me, the wind was raging that day, which would prevent you from becoming Chu Da Shao's grandmother, that is, the day that Master Huijing calculated, his study of the changes in the weather was even more powerful than his divination." ”
Qingyun, "......." ”
She sat down silently, and then looked at Chu Beidao, "I know that it will rain, what are you doing to pray for rain?" ”
After speaking, Qingyun suddenly said, "When I didn't ask." ”
The royal family will sacrifice to the sky to ask for rain, it is precisely knowing that it will rain on this day, and deliberately pinching the time to beg, so that the people are convinced that their beloved son of heaven is the darling of God, God only sells his face, and they must unswervingly support the emperor.
Originally, the credit was all given to the emperor, but now it happened that there was an accident, so I could only focus on King Yijun first.
"Who came up with this bad idea?" Qingyun asked.
Chu Bei coughed lightly, "Although this idea is rancid, it works." ”
"You are really suitable for the emperor, and you will fool people," Qingyun said disdainfully, but there was more admiration in her eyes.
Chu Bei said that this idea was thought of by the emperor.
He was just a breath later than the emperor.
"All of them have really good acting skills, they are all at the level of actors, especially the old prince," Qingyun sighed.
knew that it was all fake, and dared to point at the emperor's nose and ask the emperor to compensate him for a grandson, which was bold.
After Qingyun sighed, Chu Bei chuckled and said, "The old prince doesn't know yet, King Yijun won't let me sue him." said that the old prince had always said that he was a baby, but he never saw it, so he took this opportunity to take a look. ”
Qingyun. “……。”
King Yijun turned around and was beaten to death and crippled by the old prince, she would never pity him for half a point, it was completely self-inflicted.
Speaking of King Yijun, he has been kneeling at the altar.
Every once in a while, a secret guard fed him water, fearing that he would suffer from dehydration and heat stroke.
But more often than not, King Yijun doesn't drink water. If you're afraid of heat stroke, don't ask God for rain.
The matter of Yongji Gambling House also reached his ears, and King Yijun was almost moved to tears. It is also a five-body throw that Chu Bei admires.
is definitely a person who does big things, is decisive enough to do things, and is also a brother enough.
He even gambled on his future that he would win, this brotherly love. He can't repay it. Even if you really lose, it's worth hitting your head and dying.
At this moment, King Yijun bowed to Chu Bei, as for later knowing that it was a misunderstanding to pay seventy, King Yi was still a little injured, and Bai was moved, but he trusted Chu Bei from beginning to end, after all, he had the opportunity to change his words. But he didn't.
It was a very exciting day in Kyoto.
This kind of game is guaranteed to win and not lose. But whoever has a copper plate, he takes it out and gambles.
The street where the Yongji gambling house is located is crowded.
Yongji Gambling House also deliberately put Chubei to death, and even opened additional betting points in several busy streets in Kyoto.
When Shen no longer raised, the king of Yijun lost, and the bet of God not raining was as much as 1.6 million taels, and many people came in a hurry, and they were not allowed to buy, and they regretted running too slowly.
One loss of seventy, so many bets, the annual tax revenue of the treasury is not enough for Chubei to lose.
"The son pays the debt to the father, and the emperor will be mad by this rebellious son," Concubine Ning said happily.
Soon, though, she couldn't be happier.
Because a maid hurriedly came in and said, "Concubine, the emperor has given marriage to King Anjun." ”
The smile on Concubine Ning's face stiffened, and she had a bad premonition in her heart, so she asked hurriedly, "Who did the emperor marry King Anjun?!" ”
The maid hurriedly said, "It's the third girl of the Xingguo Mansion." ”
Concubine Ning's face turned pale.
She hurriedly wanted to get up, but she was too anxious to get up, her head was a little dizzy, and she sat back again, and the maid persuaded her not to worry, but Concubine Ning said in a hurry, "Prepare the sedan chair quickly, I want to enter the palace!" ”
The urgency of his voice trembled a little.
The maid didn't understand, why was she so anxious, how good this family affair was, the Duke of Xingguo supported King Anjun so much, King Anjun should marry his granddaughter, and if he didn't marry, he would have no heart or lungs.
But Concubine Ning was in a hurry to enter the palace, and the maid didn't dare to delay, so she hurriedly prepared a soft sedan chair.
Soon, Concubine Ning entered the palace.
She went straight to Yongning Palace, entered the main hall, and happened to meet the Queen Mother wearing a mask, she had a fire in her heart, and asked as she walked, "Queen Mother, do you know about the emperor's marriage to King Anjun?" ”
The voice is stiff, not as calm and soft as before.
The Queen Mother was a little harsh when she heard it, when was she allowed to question her like this?
The Queen Mother was still lying down and said, "The emperor gave the marriage to the king of Anjun, and the mourning family knew that he had asked the mourning family and got the acquiescence of the mourning family before giving the marriage." ”
When Concubine Ning heard this, her body shook, and her face turned three points whiter.
She kept her head down, unwilling to be seen.
However, after a while, she raised her head again, her face regained her previous expression, and asked, "The Queen Mother agrees with this family business?" ”
She smelled it, and Mama Ji reminded on the side, "Queen Mother, it's enough time for a stick of incense." ”
The queen mother took off the mask and said, "In two days, the second prince is going to marry a wife, King Anjun is a little older than him, and he can't delay any longer, the mourning family originally planned to marry Xin'er to her, but Xingguo Gong and you don't agree very much, and you can't say why, the mourning family can't make up their minds for a while, and now the emperor came to find the mourning family, saying that it was time to pick a family affair for the king of Anjun, he asked Cheng'er, he was willing to marry Xin'er to the king of Anjun, and the emperor wanted to marry Xin'er to the king of Anjun, and asked the meaning of the mourning family, and the mourning family felt that this was good, lest the mourning family can't make up their minds and delay the king of Anjun, at his age, the mourning family should hug his great-grandson. ”
Cheng'er in the mouth of the Queen Mother is the eldest lord of the Xingguo Mansion.
Everyone agrees, what does she disagree with?
Moreover, she has been in the emperor's house for most of her life, and harem battles are not uncommon, if you want to keep the glory and wealth of the Xingguo Mansion, the daughter of the Xingguo Mansion must sit on the throne.
The Queen Mother agreed, and the emperor also made an order, Concubine Ning knew very well that there was no room for reversal in this matter, so she had to make another plan.
She sat down, looked at the Queen Mother, and said, "King Yijun is still kneeling at the altar, the sky is still sunny, and the affairs of the Northern Jin Dynasty have not been dealt with, how can the emperor have the leisure to take care of the family affairs of King Anjun?" ”
The Queen Mother drank tea and did not answer.
Mama Ji said, "The matter of King Yijun is too heavy, and the emperor said that he can't calm down and watch the twists and turns, so find something easier to change his mood." ”
Concubine Ning had a mouthful of old blood stuck in her throat, and she almost squirted out.
Concubine Ning was very angry, and so was Xingguo Gong.
When the marriage decree was sent to the Xingguo Mansion, he was not in the mansion, otherwise he would not have let Chen Xin'er accept the decree at all.
And Chen Xin'er received the holy decree and cheered happily.
She never thought that when she was having lunch, she made up her mind to ask Princess Chen for help, and asked the maid to send her a letter, and only a few hours later, the holy decree of marriage was issued, and she was too powerful, right?
Did she drug the emperor, and let the emperor do whatever he wanted?
Now King Chen is sitting in the Yongji Gambling House, betting that it will rain today, she is so godly, it will definitely rain.
Thinking about it, Chen Xin'er looked up at the sky.
The weather was fine, not even a single cloud.
If you want to say that it will rain in such weather, she won't believe it.
The maid was on the side and said, "Today, Mrs. bought 20,000 taels of silver, betting that it will not rain, Mrs. said, if she wins, the money will be given to the girl as a dowry, and the girl's three thousand taels, which will add up to be more beautiful than when the princess got married, although King Chen is the enemy of King Anjun, but Princess Chen is the girl's lucky star." ”
Chen Xin'er nodded and said, "In the future, she and King Chen will be unlucky, I will try my best to save her life, I think it is probably the reason why she spared no effort to help me." ”
Today, it's been extraordinarily slow, more than ten times slower than usual.
It seems that it has not been over for a long time.
Usually, when it gets dark, everyone is sleepy and goes to bed early.
But today, I am very sober, looking forward to the early arrival tomorrow.
Most of the lights in Kyoto are on, and while chatting about the bad luck of King Yijun, I listen to the sound of beating.
Time passed little by little, after the time passed, when the time passed, when it was time, it was time to sub.
Outside is no different than usual, except that the wind is a little stronger, and the possibility of rain is too small.
But just after a few moments, the wind became stronger.
The wind howled like a dragon.
You can also see lightning outside the window.
After the lightning, it was accompanied by a rapid similarity, which was deafening and endless.
The shock made a group of people stunned, "Hit, thunder?" ”
Everyone went out together, looking at the lightning in the sky and the rumbling thunder in their ears, and their hearts were happy and collapsed.
After several days of drought in a row, this rain was more pleasing than gold.
But the collapse is, this rain is too timely, a little later will be tomorrow, King Chen will lose!
They are going to hold on to King Chen's blessing and make a windfall!
The bean-sized raindrops hit their faces, and they seemed to hear the sound of money flying.
"God bless King Chen!"
"King Yijun is really wronged!"
