Chapter 35: The Knighthood Program
Although the trend of gambling was vigorously rectified by the imperial court, how could it be completely banned in an era when there was a lack of means of entertainment?
It's nothing more than lowering the stakes, or making some other stakes.
As long as you don't deliberately cheat people, it's still okay for three or five friends to play.
Dozens of braziers in the house are bubbling with fire, and the temperature inside the house is comfortably baked.
Li Yuanjing waved his hand, signaling that he would not play cards in this round, looked at the table calmly, and said: "If you want to be knighted, it is nothing more than to go to the battlefield to mix around, or when Your Majesty is happy one day, and there is a suitable opportunity, you will be given a small title, you can't be too short-sighted, you have to think about your children and grandchildren!" ”
Cheng Chuliang threw out a fourteen and said leisurely: "Seeing that you are so enthusiastic, I feel that I can't keep my calves!" ”
"Can Your Highness tell me what the hell is going on?" Fang Yiai threw four pieces out of the house!
"Fang Er, what do you mean?" Looking at the four of them, he was instantly furious, and he couldn't wait to swallow Fang Er, a fool.
"Ah...... I didn't pay attention...... Can it be withdrawn? Fang Er scratched his head in embarrassment, this one put him and Cheng Chuliang on the side, and he blew up his own people carelessly, if he lost, his face would be full of notes.
Li Yuanjing smiled and pressed the second hand, how could he be allowed to withdraw?
He drew four thirteen cards from the cards and drew another card: "Two to twelve, one left!" ”
"the fart!" Cheng Chuliang threw the cards in his hand on the table in a huff.
Fang Er was a little frustrated, he made a mistake and hated him for thousands of years, if the bomb in his hand didn't come out before, he might have won Li Yuanjing, but now it's too late.
After looking at the remaining cards in Li Yuanjing's hand, Fang Er was completely hopeless, it was a fourteen, no matter what, they couldn't win.
The two of them reluctantly pulled four finger-thick strips of cloth from the side and tied them in a knot in their hair, and hung them like this, and the rule was that they were not allowed to remove them before dark.
"You are all people who follow this king, no matter what, this king has to find a way to give you an explanation, the title of the family is not to think about it, even if you Lao Tzu is willing, Your Majesty will not agree, it is easy to go to the battlefield, it may not be a problem to survive alive, this king's method may take a little longer, but once it succeeds, it is not a problem to let you be knighted!" Li Yuanjing shuffled the cards while saying unhurriedly.
"Can you be knighted if you don't go to the battlefield?" Cheng Chuliang has an expression of you teasing me.
The Tang Dynasty is still martial, making contributions on the battlefield, and it has become common knowledge for everyone to be knighted, and now you actually told me that you can be knighted without going to the battlefield, and bully me for not having read?
"If you can increase food production! If you can release more labor for the imperial court! What if you did something that no one had ever done before? Li Yuanjing looked at the two of them playfully.
"That might be knighted, okay?"
"Okay!"
Seeing that the few people who left were as eye-catching as spotted dogs, Li Yuanjing smiled and took off the strip of cloth from his head.
It's not as stupid as them, they are so honest and obedient, they don't even sit in the carriage, and just walk home.
"Your Highness, aren't you taking the credit that belongs to you by doing this?" Liu Hu secretly looked at Li Yuanjing, at this moment, I want to say more, Your Highness, why don't you give me some credit? I want to be knighted too......
"Does this king need this credit?" Li Yuanjing smiled slightly.
The more credit, the faster he will die, not only will he be satisfied with this, but also those guys, and most importantly, Li Shimin will also be satisfied.
He is already the king of Zhao, one person is above ten thousand people, although he has no real power, but he can only rebel in the future.
doesn't have that ability, doesn't have that thought, and doesn't have that perseverance, if he becomes the emperor, Li Yuanjing feels that the future court meeting will definitely not be held on time, and sooner or later he will become a faint king, why bother!
I had nothing to do and wanted to get something fresh to relieve my boredom, but I was blocked by the mountain of the family.
Although they did not deliberately target themselves, this behavior limited their future.
Without skilled and ingenious craftsmen, many ideas cannot be expressed.
Moreover, Li Yuanjing found that the existence of the family affected the development of Datang society to a certain extent.
Magic Reform Datang?
I don't have that thought, that's Li Shimin's business.
Now Li Yuanjing just wants to make his life more comfortable, that's all, if the family can obediently send the craftsman to him, it's not that he can't stop the current plan.
……
In the imperial study, a guard told what happened in Zhao Wang's Mansion word for word.
Li Shimin frowned slightly, and waved his hand to signal the guards to retreat.
"What is King Zhao's intention?" Li Shimin turned his head to look at several ministers, and directly ignored the down-and-out images of several sons.
"Your Majesty, King Zhao is a smart man......" Fang Xuanling thought for a moment.
"If you use it, you firmly believe it, if you don't use it, find an opportunity to kill it!" Du Ruhui directly gave a more resolute suggestion.
Fang Xuanling saw that he was a smart person through King Zhao's performance during this time, what is a smart person?
Fang Xuanling didn't point it out directly, but Du Ruhui said it, King Zhao was too scheming, and he either used him with confidence, or he killed him to prevent future troubles.
"Your Majesty, by all means!" The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly stood up and hurriedly said: "King Zhao can't be killed, once King Zhao has an accident, His Majesty's efforts in recent years will lose their effect, and the situation in the future will be more difficult, King Zhao wants to use his ministers, so he will be the knife of King Zhao once, if it is successful, he may be able to break the knot in His Majesty's heart, if it doesn't work, this matter is done by King Zhao, and King Zhao should be responsible!" ”
"I'm afraid he'll break this knife!" Li Shimin was a little helpless, he also found that this sixth child was getting more and more different, but now he was still a little undecided, and he didn't know how to deal with this matter.
"Your Majesty, the ministers can still distinguish right from wrong!" The eldest grandson Wuji smiled.
"Well, in that case, let him mess around with this matter!" Li Shimin nodded, it is true, it is still possible to use one person, but Li Yuanjing counted these old foxes into it, can he still deceive everyone? If he really can, even if he loses his throne, he can only say that his skills are inferior.
At the same time, Li Shimin also had some expectations, although he had no bottom in his heart, but Li Yuanjing's words about increasing grain production and liberating labor force deeply attracted him.
Having enough food means that the population of the Tang Dynasty can grow rapidly, there is enough labor, it means that the army can be expanded, and there can be enough time to train, no matter how it is done, it is a good thing for the imperial court.
And Li Yuanjing is also quite clever, and directly distributed the credit to the second child of several families, if he really did this, why not give him a few titles?
