Chapter 61: Dare to Show Your Sword

Hearing that Li You was going to learn more than Quan Wanji, everyone was surprised, but Li Ke was extremely excited. He immediately stared at him and said, "Okay, King Qi has the ability, and he will definitely be able to have a wonderful battle with Master Quan." We're looking forward to it. ”

He was afraid that Li You would change his hexagram, so he said to Li Shimin: "Father, the King of Qi is ambitious, we should give him this opportunity to show his talents." Erchen suggested that he should compete openly with Master Quan. ”

Li Ke's henchmen, seeing Li Ke's attitude, immediately understood what he meant, and also said together: "Your Majesty, please give His Royal Highness the King of Qi a chance to compete with Lord Quan." ”

Li Shimin didn't speak immediately, he said in his heart: "You'er is really a bastard, he is in a hurry to make the family Quan Wanji slap his face." Why doesn't this kid always know the severity?! ”

He pondered for a moment and asked, "King Qi, are you sure you want to compete with Quan Aiqing?" Quan Aiqing is a famous wise man in my Tang Dynasty, so don't be angry, let's worship him as a teacher. "He is kind-hearted and can't bear to see Li You humiliated.

Yin Hongzhi was very worried and said, "Yes, Your Highness, you still listen to Your Majesty's words and don't compete." ”

"yes, yes. Don't try it. Cheng Yanjin and others also followed suit.

Quan Wanji couldn't control himself at this time, he was fed up with the ridicule of Li You and others, and with such an opportunity to take revenge, of course he refused to let it go.

He said: "Your Majesty, since His Royal Highness the King of Qi is willing to challenge the minister, the minister is also willing to compete with His Royal Highness the King of Qi to see if the minister is worthy of being his master." I beg your permission. ”

After the news of Li You's temporary stay in Chang'an came out, Xiao Dongchang was deeply worried and afraid that Li You would come to pester his daughter. Now, with such an opportunity that can discredit Li You, of course he has to seize it.

Xiao Dongchang has always supported the prince, and he also knows that Li You is supporting the prince now. But he couldn't take care of his daughter so much.

He came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Lord Quan's opinion, if Lord Quan wants to teach His Royal Highness King Qi, he must show his talent in order to convince His Royal Highness King Qi and everyone. The minister suggested that they accept their request to compete. ”

Li Tai was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, he had long seen Li You unpleasantly, and hoped that Quan Wanji would be able to abuse Li You ruthlessly. He came out and said: "Father, although the fifth brother is young, he is talented, and Quan Wanji can compete with him, even if he can't win, it is also an opportunity for him to learn, and his son thinks that he should be given this opportunity." ”

Li You helped the household department solve the big problem, Gao Jingming was grateful to Li You, and didn't want to see him humiliated, so he came out and persuaded: "Your Royal Highness King Qi, although you are extremely smart, but after all, you are still young, and your knowledge and experience need to grow slowly. ”

He had something to say, on the one hand, to persuade Li You not to be self-conscious, and on the other hand, to say that Li You was young, even if he lost to Quan Wanji, it would be forgivable.

The crowd was gossiping, some for and some against, and it was a mess.

Li Shimin coughed, stopped everyone, and asked, "King Qi, you have to think carefully, and then answer after thinking about it." He really cares about Li You, and hopes that he won't mess around and be laughed at by everyone, and he, the father, will have a dull face.

Li You said: "Erchen...... Erchen ...... "He couldn't go on anymore.

Quan Wanji was overjoyed in his heart and looked at him with disdain.

Li Ke saw that Li You, a rammer, was about to retreat, where was he willing to let him go, and said: "Fifth brother, a manly man, speak to count." Aren't you afraid of Master Quan and don't dare to compete with him, right? ”

Li Tai stepped forward to beat the side drum and said; "King Qi, you can't do anything other than eating, right? Would you like to cook you a big meal first, so that you can be brave? Hahaha. ”

Li Chengqian still cared about Li You, he said: "King Qi, otherwise, you will listen to your father and worship Lord Quan as your teacher." ”

Li You seemed to cringe a little, and he said, "This, this ......"

Li Shimin saw Li You like this, his mood was very complicated, on the one hand, he hoped that Li You would give up the competition with Quan Wanji and worship him as a teacher, and the matter would be over. On the one hand, he hopes that Li You can stand up bravely and fight against Quan Wanji in a dignified manner, it doesn't matter if he loses, he can't be without courage.

He looked at Li You and didn't speak, still hoping that he would stand up and dare to show his sword.

In the main hall, everyone looked at Li You, waiting for him to make a statement.

Li Taisheng was afraid that he would really retract, so he continued to provoke him, and said: "King Qi, you are lucky enough to solve a few things by eating, so you think that you can solve it by eating, if you have the ability, you can continue to eat, and try it with Lord Quan to see if you can eat Lord Quan." Hahahaha. ”

"Hahaha", everyone burst into laughter.

"Hahahahahaha

The laughter of the crowd was louder, and the sound of pulling was longer. He said, "What a big deal." The people take food as the sky, and I will try to compete with Quan Wanji! I don't believe it, I eat ...... can't compare to his power. ”

"Yes, it's just compared to him, what's the big deal. Your Highness, I support you!" Yin Hongji said.

"Yes, Your Highness, I support you, I am willing to bet 10,000 yuan, bet that you can win!" Cheng Yanjin said.

The people of the Tang Dynasty loved gambling, although the "Tang Law" strictly prohibited gambling, but the Tang Dynasty was an open society, the people were fierce, and good gambling was also a manifestation of the national character.

Li Shimin and Li Longji are both well-known gamblers. Li Shimin once asked Gao Shilian to use gambling to give gifts to Pei Lian, the deputy head of Jinyang Palace of the Sui Dynasty at that time, and obtained Yu Wenhua and a plan to murder Li Yuan, so that Li Yuan escaped.

Of course, it is not okay to talk openly about gambling in the court. However, Cheng Biting Jin is a bastard, and everyone knows that he is showing an attitude, and no one is serious with him.

"I support it too."

"Yes!"

Such a fun thing added a lot of fun to the boring career of the ministers, so almost everyone supported the competition between Li You and Quan Wanji.

The eldest grandson Wuji did not follow the crowd's statement, he stared at Li You, as if he wanted to see the flowers from his face. He felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and he wanted to take a closer look to see what tricks these people were playing.

This is a foregone conclusion.

Li Ke was very excited to see that Li You had been trapped, he was also a little burnt, and said; "Father, although it is not advisable to say that Su Guogong gambles, but since it is a competition, there must be a win or loss, and after winning or losing, there must be some luck, right?"

"yes, yes." There was a lot of interest in it.

Li Shimin is very keen on gambling, he asked: "How do you think this lottery should be set up?" ”
