Chapter 198 [Tang Dynasty Monarchs, Gathering Crowds to Gamble Money]

"What King Zhao said is right!"

Li Daoyan laughed, nodded and said: "The goose plucked the feathers, it was the hair of the foreign envoy, although this guy collected filial piety, but he immediately turned his face and stabbed the knife after receiving it, don't look at him just now as if he was helping the turtle Ziguo to speak, in fact, all this guy said is the opposite!" ”

Li Yun's heart moved when he heard this, and he said thoughtfully: "He deliberately said that he wanted to reduce taxes and make taxes, and then let others stand up and refute him, so between the arguments and refutations, everyone knows the importance of tariffs......

Li Daoyan nodded slowly, and said earnestly: "So this is the court, don't just look at the surface of the minister's remarks, sometimes he looks like a traitorous minister, his bones are full of the interests of the Tang Dynasty, King Zhao, you are still young, and you will learn in the court in the future!" ”

Li Yun understood that this was someone teaching him, and he couldn't help but feel cordial to this royal uncle.

At this time, Li Shimin slowly spoke, and asked leisurely: "The mission of the Guizi Kingdom wants to reduce taxes, and they also want to compete in the music rhythm in Baqiao Baoxia Garden, I have only one request for this matter: don't even think about tax reduction, and you can't lose the music rhythm, what is your good plan for Aiqing, you and others?" ”

The ministers of the court and the central government immediately began to discuss, and the entire hall was filled with a buzzing sound.

Li Zhi admired Li Yun very much, and the little guy suddenly grabbed the big brother's hand, tilted his little head and asked, "Big brother, do you have a way?" ”

That kind of child's eager look, no one who sees it doesn't want to disappoint him.

Li Yun smiled and bent down, half-squatted and touched his little head, and quipped, "What if I can't help it?" ”

Li Zhi shook his head vigorously, and said in a coquettish tone: "You are the King of Xifu Zhao, you must have a way, the queen mother has to tell me once a day, there is nothing in the world that the eldest brother can't do." ”

"Hahaha!"

Li Yun laughed heartily and rubbed Li Zhi's little head vigorously, at this time, the ministers present were also laughed at by Li Zhi, Fang Xuanling stroked his long beard and quipped: "King Jin is innocent and childish, and he is full of confidence in King Zhao when he arrives, but it is a pity that even if he is a natural saint, he cannot be good at everything in the world. ”

Li Zhi suddenly felt aggrieved when he heard this, and seemed to be very sad, and the big brother also had something that he couldn't do.

Li Yun saw his disappointed look, and couldn't help but rub the little guy's head again, and then he slowly turned his head to look at Fang Xuanling, and said with a smile: "What Fang Xiang just said, this king agrees very much, even if he is born a saint, he can't be good at everything in time, but I don't want to disappoint my younger brother......"

These words made Fang Xuanling slightly stunned, and said with a little puzzlement: "What does Your Highness mean by this?" ”

Li Yun smiled leisurely and said lightly: "The music of Qiuzi is famous all over the world, it is said that my Datang folk musicians have competed with them many times, and they have been defeated and lost every time. This king is the king of Xifu Zhao, and the king of Xifu Zhao represents the meaning of invincibility, since this matter has made me known, then Datang can't lose this time. ”

Saying that, he bent down and picked up Li Zhi, first raised the little guy high, in the excited laughter of the little guy, Li Yun's leisurely voice sounded at the same time, and said: "This king is going to make a musical instrument, with the ability to subdue all musical instruments throughout the ages, blowing happily, making people spend candles in the cave room, blowing unhappy, making people soft and turning, the rhythm of the music, omnipotent, ticking can celebrate the full moon of the child, woo wow wow can cry the old man's first seven, as long as this instrument appears, the Guizi musician can only obediently admit defeat......"

"How is this possible?"

Li Yun's voice fell, and several doubts had already sounded in the hall, the ancient literati knew a lot, not only proficient in poetry and songs, but also good at the way of music and rhythm.

But seeing a minister slowly stand up, he arched his hand to Li Yun and said: "What His Highness just said is quite boastful, according to the old man's knowledge, there is no musical instrument in the world that suppresses everything, music is the sound of nature, and each instrument can only express one tune!" ”

After a pause, he seemed to want to teach Li Yun common sense, and said: "For example, the guzheng, melodious and elegant, such as the huqin, the tune is rough, or the flute, or the flute, one is flexible and smart, the other is like crying, and the pipa is pleasant, and the Turkic has a kind of horse-head qin that refreshes people's heartstrings......"

He wanted to say more, but Li Yun was already laughing, and suddenly opened his mouth to bet with him: "It's better for us to wait and see if this king can make this kind of instrument." ”

"Good!"

The minister did not hesitate, nodded directly: "If Your Highness can really succeed, the old man is willing to worship under your door, not only to offer six salutes, but also to bow down, and from then on treat him as a teacher, and bow down every morning to say goodbye." ”

Li Yunden was stunned and looked at the other party in amazement.

This minister must be at least fifty years old, with a big beard like an old grandfather, and such an old man is his apprentice, and he dare not accept it if he dares to be himself.

However, Li Shimin was very interested, and suddenly agreed: "King Zhao and the minister bet, whether it is success or failure, it is a good story, I want to open a handicap, you Aiqing bet or not......"

Boy!

If the emperor opened the market and directly engaged in the periphery, if this matter spread, I am afraid that it will not shatter the eyeballs, but the ministers present were very excited, and a group of people stood up to express their participation.

For example, Lao Cheng, this guy, has been very bulging in his pocket in recent years, Lao Cheng first laughed, and said proudly: "Your Majesty wants to gamble, this thing hasn't been done for a long time, come on, I Lao Cheng will make 50,000 yuan first, I bet that King Zhao will lose to Li Jinglong this time." ”

Lao Cheng has always been shrewd, but this time he didn't choose Li Yun, after all, Li Yun made too deep an impression on everyone, and most people knew that he had been living in the folk since he was a child.

In ancient times, there were only two kinds of people who engaged in music, either musicians who were specially trained since childhood, or scholars of large families.

Li Yun did not account for either of these situations, so Lao Cheng would bet on him to lose.

As soon as he made a move, it was 50,000 yuan, which shows that the Cheng family is really rich, just two years ago, if he wanted to get 5,000 yuan, he had to grit his teeth hard.

Li Shimin had a strange smile on his face, nodded lightly and said: "Cheng Zhijie admitted to the bet of 50,000 yuan, this bet has been recorded, who else is betting, you Aiqing may as well say the bet." ”

"The minister also bets!"

Another Guogong stood up, and it was the famous gambler Liu Hongji of the Tang Dynasty, although this goods were sealed as Kui Guogong, but he was a street gangster in his early years, and he loved gambling the most in his life, and he was almost unhappy with five gambles.

This is also very scary, as soon as I opened my mouth, it was also a bet of 50,000 yuan, and after thinking about it, I felt that it was not too enjoyable, so I gritted my teeth and raised 25,000 yuan.

After adding the stake, his face was triumphant, for fear that others would not know that there was money in the family, so he laughed and said: "Since subscribing to the share of the salt industry, Wechen has been lying down to make money in the past two years, the money is like a landslide and tsunami, and spending money is like a child peeing, alas, there is no way, it is too rich, no matter how it is spent, Your Majesty must save Weichen, and you will win all of the 75,000 yuan." ”

Li Shimin asked slowly, and said leisurely: "Who do you bet on to win!" ”

"Of course it's King Zhao......"

As soon as he said this, he suddenly found that Lao Cheng was giving him a look, and he was slightly stunned in his heart, and unconsciously changed his words, and said: "Of course it's a bet on King Zhao to lose, where can King Zhao compare to Li Jinglong?" Li Lao is a famous music and rhythm master in the Tang Dynasty, and His Majesty's opening of the market is equivalent to sending money to the ministers. ”

Li Shimin sighed twice, and a chamberlain on the edge of the court instructed: "Give Kui Guogong a sum of money, and bet 75,000 yuan to bet that King Zhao will lose." ”

The chamberlain had already prepared a pen and paper, and when he heard this, he hurriedly began to record everyone's bets.

In the next time, the entire court directly opened a bet, and countless ministers enthusiastically participated, and the bet money was not less than 10,000, but it was basically betting that Li Yun would lose, and there were very few bets on Li Yun to win.

In the end, it was even more one-sided, Cheng Chumo and the others couldn't stand it, and the five apprentices were indignant and each voted 5,000 yuan, even if their master would lose, they would have to lose with their master.

Due to the large betting difference, the odds gap between Li Yun and the opponent is also very large, although the five apprentices only voted 5,000 yuan, but if they win, it is not a small amount, and it is best to double it tenfold, and even win more than 100,000 yuan.

Today, there are more than 500 ministers in the last dynasty, and the whole betting link took almost half an hour, and finally a rough calculation, basically everyone participates in gambling, and the funds are as high as 20 million, which can be called the first gamble since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

With such a huge amount of money, even Li Shimin couldn't bear it, and the emperor looked at Li Yun from time to time, hoping that his nephew could give him a hint.

At the last moment, the bet was about to be closed, and suddenly I heard Xiao Li Zhi's immature voice, and said hurriedly: "I also want to bet, and I want to bet on my father." ”

The little guy kept shouting, but unfortunately no one heard the noise just now, and it wasn't until the bet was about to be closed that the little guy's voice was heard by everyone.

Li Shimin was very amused, looked at the little son and said, "Do young slaves also want to gamble?" How much copper are you going to bet on? I remember that you don't seem to have any money, and your money is all collected by the queen mother. ”

Li Zhi pursed his lips hard, plucked up the courage and said loudly: "I bet fifty copper plates, and I will also help Sister Gao Yang bet fifty copper plates, Sister Gao Yang can't go to court, but I want to take my sister to make a fortune together." ”

"Hahaha!"

Li Shimin laughed out loud, pretending to exaggerate: "There are fifty copper plates, it seems that the slave has been secretly saving money, aren't you afraid of losing, you are not allowed to cry if you lose." ”

"I'll win!"

Li Zhi was very resolute and said coquettishly: "I want to bet on Brother Zhao Wang, and Big Brother has never lost." ”

"Good!"

Li Shimin nodded, his face suddenly became serious, and he solemnly said to the chamberlain who had recorded: "Make a note to the King of Jin, and bet 5,000 copper coins this time." There is also Princess Gaoyang, who also made a few thousand copper coins. ”

The chamberlain was stunned and muttered, "Your Highness just said fifty copper plates. ”

Fifty copper plates and five thousand pieces of copper are also too big.

Li Shimin smiled, pointed to Li Yun beside Li Zhi and said: "The money left over is not enough for King Zhao, he loves his younger brothers and sisters so much, he won't feel distressed if he takes out 10,000 yuan." ”

The chamberlain hurriedly looked at Li Yun.

Li Yun smiled and said: "It's better to change it again, how about recording it as one million, I will help Li Zhi's younger brother contribute 500,000 yuan, and I am helping Gao Yang's sister also contribute 500,000 yuan, if you win the gambling game, the three of us brother and sister will sit on the ground and share the spoils." ”

Good guys, it's a million dollars as soon as you shoot directly!

And he still bets on himself, but nominally to help his younger siblings contribute.

Li Shimin's face suddenly turned pale, and he snorted coldly: "Stinky boy, you want to compete with me for the handicap......"

The emperor knew that Li Yun was likely to win.
