Liu Erlang's body was found by people in the gambling house.

I didn't go to the gambling house for a few days, and the housekeeper of the gambling house once thought that Liu Erlang had changed places to buy, until the deadline for repayment came, the gambling house didn't wait for Liu Erlang to come to the door, and then went to the place where Liu Erlang lived on weekdays to take a look, only to find that Liu Erlang's body had begun to decay.

The stench of the gambling house's ninja wrapped Liu Erlang's body in a straw mat, not out of humanitarianism to bury Liu Erlang, but because the death account is still there.

The body was transported to Liu Erlang's home, along with the IOU and the title deed!

Pockets of 10,000 yuan are already extremely rich, and for small landlord families, 130 yuan is already a big number. Liu Erlang's father was so angry that he was so angry that in order to keep his own land, Liu Erlang's brother had to do everything possible to borrow it.

A small family that was originally a good one, and all of a sudden, the family wealth was scattered, and it still owed fifty yuan to a relative of the family who had just come out of Wufu in Chang'an City!

This is still the money that Liu Erlang's brother borrowed in pain in front of the uncle of the family, and after at least ten years, the Liu family had to save money to pay off the debt.

This kind of thing doesn't just happen to one Liu Erlang, there will never be only one gambling dog!

In the fifth year of Zhenguan, on March 15, the early dynasty of the Taiji Hall was carried out as scheduled.

Ren Guogong, who had just been transferred back to Chang'an from Yizhou, stood up at the court meeting and made his first report after returning to Beijing: "Your Majesty, two days ago, the nephew of a certain nationality was in debt due to gambling, and his father died in anger. This is the misfortune of the family, and it should not be put in the court of the above-mentioned said, however, the minister visited many times and found that there were many people in the house because of gambling recently. The bet was not the previous leaf cards and dice, but the gamble generated by the game of Chang'an College!

The people are easy to buy, if this development continues, more people will inevitably die! The minister thought that this wind could not be long, and asked His Majesty to order Chang'an Academy to stop the game and cut off its roots. ”

Here is a noun annotation, Ren Guogong's surname is Liu, his name is Hongji, and he is also the number one famous general in the Tang Dynasty. Yes, the one who succumbed to the horse!

Of course, there is no official position in the court, as long as you play, someone will seconded or refute it!

After Liu Hongji finished speaking, someone immediately retorted: "Liu Weiwei, although the content of this purchase is a ball game, as far as this official knows, Chang'an College has nothing to do with the gambling house. Moreover, in the opinion of this official, the football league of Chang'an College deserves to be a set experience. ”

Obviously, the official who spoke out against it was a spectator of the football match of Chang'an College, otherwise how could he think that watching the football is a good visual experience?

"Your Majesty! Ren Guogong! ”

Qin Qiong, who rarely spoke, also stood up, and he objected: "Wu'er Huaidao is a student of Chang'an College, and in principle, he should avoid suspicion. However, I think that Ren Guogong's words are really nonsense. Even if there is no football match of Chang'an College, there will still be other ways to gamble. So, the root is not in the ball game. ”

"The minister is against!"

Hearing this, an official stood up and arched his hand: "Since ancient times, knives have been killing weapons, although the killers are people, but why did Datang prohibit the sale of Tang knives by the people?" It's the same thing! ”

For a time, the court and the court held their own opinions, whether it was crooked or right, and the two sides were deadlocked.

If you have the heart to take a serious look, you will definitely find that most of those who support Liu Hongji are ...... The civil servant of the family!

Perhaps it is precisely because these civil officials of the family read a lot and are good at quibbling that the two sides can stalemate.

"Humph!"

A man like a black tower snorted coldly and walked out, it was another well-known bastard in the court! His name was Wei Chigong, and he snorted coldly: "A group of pickled goods, obviously because they died of gambling, they didn't deal with the gambling house, but went to the weird school?" When did Wu Delu stipulate that instead of arresting the murderer, the murder weapon was caught? ”

Although Wei Chigong's speech was difficult to hear, he said it very reasonably. Gambling is obviously a matter of gambling houses, but why blame Chang'an College?

That's because most of those gambling houses are the property of the family, and some are the property of some nobles. Everyone tacitly wants to let the gambling house survive this storm by banning the ball game.

The people who supported Liu Hongji were choked, and it took a long time for someone to stand up and say: "What's the matter with the gambling house? This is clearly the problem of the ball game, when did the ball game come out because of gambling to death? After all, it's not that the game is too attractive! Your Majesty, please ban the ball game, not to mention gambling, that is, the gathering of forty or fifty thousand people alone is a huge threat, you must know that Chang'an College is only one square away from the palace gate. ”

Occupy the righteousness and alarmist words, and the civil official group is naturally very proficient.

The emperor's face was a little ugly, didn't this Nima know that I went to watch the ball game? Could it be that I will create my own rebellion?

Of course, His Majesty Li Er didn't dare to tell the ministers that he would go to watch every football game, and he would take Wei Zheng to watch every game. Although he won't be sprayed by Wei Zheng when he says it, his plaything Shangzhi will naturally be sprayed by someone! It's always unpleasant to be sprayed, isn't it?

For a time, it was difficult for the emperor to be arbitrary!

Because, this matter not only involves Chang'an Academy, but also involves several princes and princesses, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that this ball game is actually a game jointly promoted by the princes and princesses.

If the emperor does not decide, the court will quarrel fiercely.

The two sides are like people in the market, and they actually started to scold after being quoted from the side!

Of course, the precedent of scolding must have been started by someone in Wei Chi.

The noisy scene gave the emperor an incomparably headache, and he slapped it on the dragon case at once, and said angrily: "What do they look like? Do the servants scold the streets? Regarding the matter of Chang'an College, we will discuss it another day, of course, before that, I will think about it carefully, and at the same time I will summon some students of Chang'an College to communicate. Retreat! ”

The emperor walked away directly, and there was no room for argument in the court. The people who are in charge are gone, fighting and fighting for whom?

Only one or two black guys spit on the floor, scolding the people who have thousands of reasons to support Liu Hongji on some bright faces, but are actually the owners behind the gambling house: "Pickled stuff!" ”

At the same time, what Liu Hongji didn't expect was that the friends who had a good relationship in the Xungui circle didn't even look at him when they left the Taiji Palace.

What the hell is going on?

If you don't help yourself in the court, forget it, and now you don't pay attention to yourself!

Only Qin Qiong, who has always been kind, patted Liu Hongji's shoulder and said, "Brother Hongji, don't let anger drive you to be used as a gun." ”

......

On this day, Chang'an College was originally going to organize a ball game as scheduled, but the door of an office in the college that had not been opened for nearly a month was opened.

The six-person ball game management committee was all invited to the office, and at that moment, the six Li Chengqian brothers and sisters found that the chair in the office was not sitting on the Tang River, which Changle had been waiting for, but their own father.

Inevitably, Li Chengqian said: "Father, how can you have time to come to school today?" ”

Son, in fact, my father comes every day, but you just found it!

cough, of course the emperor would not say this, at this time, he had a solemn face and did not have the heart to joke with his son.

His Majesty Li Er pondered for a long time before saying, "You have worked hard to make this ball game these days!" Have you ever thought about putting the game on hold for two days and resting yourself, after all, you are only in your teens? ”

"It's not hard!"

The three brothers of Li Chengqian said in unison: "Father doesn't know, since the start of this ball game, everything has been going according to the process, and it is not hard!" ”

It's hard to let Changle have something to do, and change the depression of the past, what is this hard work? Moreover, the three brothers Li Chengqian were right, since the official start of the league, there is really nothing to do except count the results and arrange the referees for the game. Even the game commentary was left to other interested students.

This is more than 10,000 times easier than the previous days!

Besides, even if it's harder, it's easier than being cleaned up by your own mother, right?

Li Lizhen also nodded and said, "Father, it's not hard, but it's quite interesting!" ”

His Majesty Li Er was a little surprised, and his own girl actually found it interesting to help the school in Tanghe!

It's not married yet!

The Guardian Demon suddenly forgot that his daughter was also a member of the school.

No, it's not! The female students in the school are not the only ones with their own daughters, why don't others do it?

When I think about it this way, it seems that the sourness is stronger again!

The emperor opened his mouth, but before he could speak, the other two little dukes raised and said, "Yes, father!" Since playing this league, the sisters feel that their lives have been much more fulfilling! ”

Can you not be fulfilling?

In this era of Datang, even if she is a princess who is rich and rich, what can she do? After all, it's still an era dominated by men! Now that he can do something meaningful with a few older brothers, and is also responsible for most of the affairs of the ball game, this small feeling of holding power naturally makes Xiao Gongju feel extremely fulfilling.

Who says women don't need power?

When the emperor heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

The opinions of the three daughters made him seem to see another window, but when the emperor was about to take a serious look at that window in his heart, it was so vague for a while.

After a long time, His Majesty Li Er gave up the idea in his heart that he wanted to see clearly, retracted his thoughts, and put a faint wry smile on his face.

To be honest, after thinking for a long time, from the perspective of balance, His Majesty Li Er felt that Liu Hongji's suggestion seemed unreasonable, but in fact it was indeed the least costly method.

If you really want to ban all those gambling houses according to what Wei Chigong said, it is unrealistic in the first place. You know, which of these gambling houses is not a means of accumulating wealth behind the family and even some nobles?

For the sake of some gamblers, banning gambling houses is obviously a measure that outweighs the losses for the emperor. After all, in the final analysis, Datang is a country composed of upper-class buildings, and those fart people, those lower-class, as long as they don't starve to death, they are already prosperous.

Under such a structure, even an emperor as strong as Li Er still had to think about problems from certain directions. This is not because the emperor is afraid of the family, but because often if something is banned, the royal family must come up with something to replace it, even if it is a little compensation. This is the unspeakable tacit understanding between the family, the nobles and the emperor.

In contrast, although Chang'an Academy was founded by the guy on the Tang River, although Tang River has really made a lot of contributions to the Tang Dynasty, he is just a person in the end, and there is no need for equivalent exchange or compensation between him and the emperor.

Even if it is necessary to compensate, there is really no need to compare the compensation of one Tang River with the compensation of several families.

Besides, the league is just a few dolls, and it actually has nothing to do with Tang He. Moreover, the ball game is just a matter of everyone having fun together. It is not a major event that affects the national economy and people's livelihood.

However, from a father's point of view, especially a father who cares for his daughter, he really doesn't want to watch his children do something good and stop because of something that is not related in the first place.

The intelligent Li Li saw the faint bitterness on her father's face at once, and asked, "Father, what is the difficulty?" ”

There are women like this, what do you do if you don't be a protector madman?

His Majesty Li Er was sincerely pleased, but the more relieved he was, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart. With a forced smile, His Majesty Li Er replied: "My father is the emperor, what can happen?" ”

At the prompting of his sister, Li Chengqian finally took a serious look at his father's expression.

Daddy, this is really going wrong!

After realizing it, Li Chengqian said solemnly: "Father, in fact, there are some things that the sons and daughters have wanted to say for a long time. We've all grown up, you see, we can do a league by ourselves, and we don't rely on others. When you encounter something, you can really tell our brothers and sisters a few things! The three stinkers are Zhuge Liang, maybe our brothers and sisters can really go off the rails? ”

The children were like this, and the original bitterness in the emperor's heart was of course gone, and he grinned and said, "How can there be anything?" Father is here to see you! Then, my father saw that you had grown up and knew how to share your worries with my father, which was very good, and my father was very happy! Go ahead and get ready for today's game! ”

Seeing this, Li Chengqian's brothers and sisters did not insist, and turned to leave.

On the same day, the ball game was held as scheduled, and on the court, naturally some people were happy and some were worried.

However, just after the ball game, the six brothers and sisters of Li Chengqian gathered together again, and the faces of the brothers and sisters were ugly.

Because, not only the emperor talked to his child before watching the ball game, but also Qin Qiong, who was upright by nature and never hid it from his son.

Qin Huaidao naturally passed his father's words to the ears of the three Li Chengqian brothers, so there was a brother and sister meeting after the game.

Li Chengqian looked bitter: "What should I do, it seems that my father just wanted to persuade us to suspend the game in the afternoon, and then changed his mind!" Let, do you want to help my father share his worries? ”

Li Ke, Li Tai, Xiangcheng, and Huai'an did not speak.

Only Li Lizhi said stubbornly: "We are not wrong, why do you want us to stop?" ”
