Chapter 205: Do You Know What I'm Gambling On? 】

What the ministers think is easy to guess.

They don't know if they should take part in the market.

If people are too smart, they are easy to think too much, and once they can't figure it out, they decide to wait and see first, and this is the case at the moment, and the ministers can't guess what Li Shimin's idea is.

If the emperor wants to make money, then they should bet that those young people will win, and everyone will definitely lose when the time comes, which is equivalent to sending money to the emperor again.

But the money has already been sent once.

On the gambling market this morning, the total amount of bets is as high as 20 million, everything is indispensable, even if you are the emperor, you can't cut leeks like this.

If you bet that Li Yun will win, everyone feels hesitant to decide, once King Zhao and those young people win the Wen Dou, they will definitely win these bets, so His Majesty will have to pay for it, which means that the gambling plate on the court this morning has not made money.

So winning or losing is not a good thing.

Winning or losing will make His Majesty unhappy......

There are no fools who can stand in the court, the more powerful the court, the smarter, they are good at figuring out the emperor's mind, and finally decide not to gamble......

……

"Anyone else to bet on?"

Li Shimin asked three times in a row, and the answer he got was that the audience was silent.

"Well, there is only one woman in my gambling board......" The Emperor seemed to laugh at himself, ready to say a seal.

At this time, I suddenly saw the eldest grandson queen stand up, and said with a smile: "The concubine invested 1.5 million yuan to help each of the three sons buy a bet." ”

Uh-huh?

Why did the queen follow in?

The ministers present were all stunned, and some of them had already begun to figure it out in their hearts.

Li Shimin was obviously stunned, but then slowly shook his head and refused, and said with a smile: "Three notes will definitely not work, don't even think about Guanyin!" ”

"Why is that?"

Empress Eldest Sun asked.

Li Shimin seemed to want to avoid answering, but after a deep sigh, he still opened his mouth to answer, and said lightly: "You and I husband and wife are one, and your investment is equivalent to my investment." If the bet loses, I can't ask you for money, and if the bet wins, I have to lose money to the three princes......"

After a slight pause, he continued: "But they have taken advantage of it, a prince and a Wei king, and even the youngest young slave has a knighthood, and you now help them bet 1.5 million yuan, which is equivalent to an empty glove white wolf to help the children take advantage, because of this, it can't work!" ”

After a deep sigh, he said, "At least three bets are not good." ”

This is already somewhat suggestive.

The ministers present were all human spirits, and suddenly felt that this gambling market was probably not an ordinary gamble. Some people's eyes have begun to flash, and they raise their legs and feet and quietly squeeze forward.

The emperor rejected the empress, but the empress refused to give up, and suddenly said: "Since Your Majesty refuses to agree, how about the concubines change their bets!" ”

She didn't wait for the emperor to answer, and said directly: "Cheng Qian is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, his bet can not be voted, Qingque is the king of Tang Wei, and his bet can not be voted, but the young slave is about to leave home to study, and the concubine can't treat this youngest child badly, and His Majesty must allow the concubine to vote for this bet." ”

Li Shimin groaned for a while, and only then slowly nodded and spit out a word, saying, "But!" ”

But then he added, solemnly: "In addition to the one note of the childish slave, the other two notes were directly canceled." ”

"No way!"

Empress Changsun shook her head again, her tone became solemn, and she looked at the emperor and said, "The other two bets can't be canceled, and the concubines still have to help the children vote." ”

Li Shimin's brows furrowed.

How smart the queen was, she could see at a glance that her husband was displeased, she hurriedly explained, her tone was soft as if pleading, and said quietly: "Your Majesty, Changle and Qinghe are about to get married." ”

Just this simple sentence, but Li Shimin's brows have been relaxed.

The emperor glanced at the empress deeply, and asked with a deep smile: "Changle is your own child, but Qinghe is a breastfeeding substitute, I hope that Guanyin you can think clearly, are you sure you want to help Qinghe bet 500,000 yuan?" ”

Empress Eldest Sun took a breath lightly and said in a solemn tone: "Since you call your concubines a mother, you should treat them equally." ”

"Good!"

Li Shimin nodded solemnly, and finally agreed: "I promised!" ”

agreed that the eldest grandson queen would bet 1.5 million yuan for the three children.

The emperor had just agreed to the queen's invitation, and suddenly saw another concubine crowded into the crowd, this concubine was the person of the four main concubines, and she squeezed over and knelt directly on the ground.

With a pop, her knees hit the dirt, and even the man felt pain when she knelt like this, but the concubine knelt down neatly.

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, and asked with some displeasure: "What?" Do you want to bet too? ”

"Vote for the kid!" The concubine knelt on the ground and looked up, looking at the emperor with pitiful eyes.

She is Concubine Yang, one of the four main concubines, and she is the most gentle and restrained in the harem.

But Concubine Yang became courageous, looked at the emperor and said: "The concubine also wants to bet 500,000 yuan, and she also wants to buy His Royal Highness King Zhao to win, Your Majesty, please give me a chance to give me a gift." ”

Li Shimin snorted coldly, obviously not wanting to accept this bet.

But the emperor couldn't say it clearly, so he could only use questioning as an excuse, and said coldly: "You want to bet on the child, but do you have 500,000 yuan?" ”

These books are already tantamount to rejection.

Concubine Yang's face turned white, and she said cowardly: "The concubines are willing to take out all the subsidies for the rest of their lives, and then let the palace maids go to the Internal Affairs Office to pick up some embroidery work, as long as the concubines work hard, they can always get together 500,000 yuan." ”

said that he was afraid that Li Shimin would not agree, so he followed and said: "Your Majesty also knows that the concubine is good at knitting female red since she was a child, and the royal palace brocade I embroidered is very popular in Fanyang City." ”

After saying this, he dared to look at the emperor pitifully, and asked with a pleading face: "Your Majesty, are you okay?" ”

Li Shimin seemed a little unbearable, and sighed: "You are the princess of the previous dynasty, why do you fight so hard?" You have the concubine's subsidy, and you could have lived comfortably in this life. ”

Concubine Yang pursed her lips and said softly: "The concubine is a mother. ”

Li Shimin's eyes were cold, and he scolded in a deep voice: "But the rules can't be broken!" ”

Immediately realized that this was wrong, it was easy for people to guess his gambling plate, and quickly changed his words: "Since it is a gamble, you must follow the rules, you don't have 500,000 yuan, but you want to help your child bet 500,000 yuan, even if you can save money to pay off your debts in the future, but you can't take it out at all now." ”

This is already an unequivocal refusal.

Concubine Yang felt her waist soften, and she sat down on the spot with a bitter face.

"I'll lend it to my mother'......"

At this time, everyone suddenly heard Li Yun's voice and said with a smile: "It's only 500,000 yuan, I'll lend this money to Concubine Yang." ”

Concubine Yang, who was sitting on the ground, was covered for a while, and the surprise in her eyes was about to jump out.

Li Shimin frowned slightly, and suddenly turned to stare at Li Yundao: "Are you sure you want to lend it to her?" Do you know what I'm going to bet on? ”

Li Yun smiled, as if he didn't understand: "I definitely don't know what Your Majesty wants to gamble, but I can't see a mother kneeling down in the dust, Concubine Yang is a great mother, and I will lend her 500,000 yuan for her kneeling." ”

"Good!"

Li Shimin nodded slowly, turned to look at Concubine Yang, and said, "Get up, someone has made your bet." ”

Concubine Yang already had tears in the corners of her eyes, but she didn't care about wiping them at this time, she hurriedly got up from the ground, bent her knees and was about to bow to Li Yun to thank her, and said: "King Zhao has given me this generous gift, my aunt dare not forget it, your 500,000 guan will definitely be returned, and Aunt Rong will slowly do embroidery to pay it off." ”

How dare Li Yun let her salute, and dodge directly with a flickering of her footsteps.

Li Shimin next to him snorted lightly, and suddenly said: "Concubine Yang, you can't be deaf, what I just said is very clear, someone made your bet, not someone borrowed ......."

These words made Concubine Yang slightly stunned.

Li Yun smiled helplessly.

Li Shimin snorted lightly again, looked at Li Yun and said, "If the stinky boy wants to be a good person, then I will let you directly lose 500,000 yuan." ”

The implication is self-evident, Li Yun's money is not considered to be lent to Concubine Yang.

Since it's not borrowed, it definitely doesn't have to be returned.

Li Yun didn't speak again, he felt that Li Shimin seemed to have eaten explosives, and today's gambling market seemed to be a little abnormal, and it seemed that what the emperor was going to bet on was a bit outrageous.

He couldn't guess, but the ministers vaguely figured out the taste.

But seeing Lao Cheng suddenly laughed, he squeezed up and said to the emperor with a hippie smile: "Your Majesty, I saved your life twice, just now Lao Cheng didn't admit it at the beginning, which is a big mistake, but now I want to participate, please give your Majesty a chance in the face of saving your life......"

As he spoke, he stretched out two fingers, squeezed his eyebrows and said to the emperor: "Twice, twice to save the people." ”

"Get out of the way!"

Li Shimin scolded angrily, and said with a pale face: "You have saved me twice, but I have returned you eight times, I want to ask you Cheng Zhijie, how many times do you have to repay your life-saving grace." ”

Lao Cheng didn't feel ashamed at all, rubbed his big hands and grinned: "It doesn't take too much, just pay it back ten times or eight times, compared to this kind of gambling game, Your Majesty must let Lao Cheng participate." ”

"Get out!"

Li Shimin scolded angrily.

Old Cheng retreated, and he could tell from the emperor's tone that there was no chance.

At this time, many ministers stood up, obviously wanting to participate in the gambling handicap, and even Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, was among them, and said: "Your Majesty gives you a chance, Your Majesty gives you a chance, we are all a family, I only help my sister-in-law bet 500,000 yuan, okay......"

"Shut up!"

Li Shimin suddenly snorted coldly, overshadowing all the voices present, the emperor slowly put his hands behind his back, and said in a resolute tone: "I let you gamble earlier, everyone hesitated, and now I want to participate, who do I be?" Wait, it's ridiculous! ”

Suddenly turned his head to look at a waiter with a pen and paper in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Record, seal the plate......"

Is this closed?

There was a sound of disappointment in the audience.

But who is to blame?

The only thing to blame is that they were clever beforehand.

The ministers had already vaguely guessed that what the emperor was going to pay this time was very scary, maybe it would be earth-shattering, otherwise the queen and Concubine Yang would not fight.

……

…… There are two days left in April, and Shanshui wants to ask if there is a monthly pass? It's not good to be invalid, what, no, let me go, and then ask to die? Well, I'll ask again.
