Among the martial arts princes, Liu Hongji suddenly pulled Lacheng and bit Jin's arm, and complained in a low voice: "You damn guy, Lao Tzu was killed by you this time!" ”

Lao Cheng glanced at him and asked lightly, "Why did Lao Tzu hurt you?" ”

Liu Hongji snorted lowly, and said angrily: "I obviously want to bet on King Zhao, but you look at me and ask me to change it, you look at Your Majesty's expression, and then look at King Zhao's determination, this bet King Zhao will definitely win, if he wins, won't Lao Tzu lose 75,000 yuan......"

Laugh at!

Lao Cheng sneered, and said with disdain on his face: "It seems that you are only suitable to be a gambler, and you should not be a prince at all, and it is really a magical luck that the Liu family can become rich and noble." ”

Liu Hongji was stunned for a moment, and asked in amazement: "Cheng Zhijie, what do you mean by this?" ”

Lao Cheng glanced at him again, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Let me ask you, who is the one who opened the handicap?" ”

"Your Majesty!" Liu Hongji didn't want to answer directly.

Lao Cheng nodded, and then whispered again: "Since it is Your Majesty who opened the market, if you win, who should you ask for money?" ”

"Naturally, it's Your Majesty!"

Liu Hongji didn't hesitate, but he still didn't want to answer directly.

Lao Cheng smiled and stopped talking.

Liu Hongji still couldn't react for a while, he still sat there chattering and complaining, and finally made a prince next to him unhappy, and suddenly smashed his chest with his elbow, and scolded in a low voice: "Shut your stinky mouth, you won and went to Your Majesty to ask for money?" ”

"Ugh!"

Liu Hongji was stunned.

Lao Cheng looked at him with a sneer on his face, and said leisurely: "The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have participated in betting, betting on themselves as high as 20 million yuan, and they are all betting that King Zhao will lose, why do you want to bet that King Zhao can win?" If everyone goes to bet on King Zhao to win, how much money does Your Majesty have to come up with to compensate? Kui Guogong, do you still want to be a ......?"

Liu Hongji suddenly shrunk his neck.

But this product is a gambler, most of the gamblers don't like to lose, although he has figured out the reason, but he is still unhappy, humming and chirping: "Then why can the king of Jin vote for the king of Zhao?" ”

Lao Cheng glared at him angrily, hating iron and steel: "Do you know what it means that meat is rotten in the pot?" ”

Liu Hongji's face was full of frustration, and his heart was extremely deflated, and suddenly the goods became excited again, and said with a face full of surprise: "My son also bet on King Zhao, and it is a bet of 5,000 guan, and the odds of King Zhao are very high, and 5,000 guan can win at least 100,000 guan." ”

Lao Cheng shook his head, feeling that he couldn't go with this gambling guy.

Why did the ministers of the Tang Dynasty actively participate in the emperor's handicap this time?

In fact, they all sent money to the emperor through their names.

In the past two years, the ministers have become rich too quickly, and the salt industry alone has made people make money by lying down, and the wealth has accumulated too quickly, which can easily cause the emperor to worry.

So you have to come up with some when the time is right.

The most important thing is that the share of the salt industry is redivided every three years, and seeing that two years have passed, everyone can still be violent for a year at most.

is still the same sentence, there is no fool who can stand in the court.

……

The sun is higher!

Today's early dynasty is really weird!

I didn't deal with a few things, but strange things came one after another, and the Tang Dynasty and the ministers started gambling in the court, not to mention that there is no one who has never come before.

Li Shimin opened the plate coolly, for the ministers how to look at how pleasing to the eye, the emperor sat on the dragon chair and muttered, and suddenly said: "Today, there are peonies blooming in the imperial garden, which is the best specially sent from Luoyang. ”

The emperor opened his mouth to invite, and small things are also big things, and all the ministers in the palace thanked him, saying that he must drink two cups at that time.

Li Shimin didn't know what idea to play, and seemed to be more and more interested, and suddenly proposed: "Peony flowers bloom, once a year, there are not many times like this, maybe it should be more grand......

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then said: "I pondered that most of the ladies in your family love flowers, so it is better to give a gift to allow them to enter the palace, and then the ladies will enjoy the flowers and visit the garden, the men will taste wine and chant poetry, and I will let the guards prepare some games of throwing pots and archery, and our monarchs and ministers will come to a busy time today." ”

"Wonderful!"

Someone couldn't help but speak up, and went further: "Your Majesty, why don't you add any more favors and allow our housewives to bring their daughters into the palace." ”

Li Shimin was stunned at first, and then his eyes lit up, and he praised: "This matter is very good, and several of my princes will also participate." ”

Li Xiaogong suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Then it's better to do it a little bigger, allow the courtiers' sons-in-law to also participate, and then invite the queen to come forward and bring the princesses to enjoy the flowers and play." ”

Li Shimin's eyes brightened, and he laughed and said, "Okay! ”

At first, he just proposed that the ministers play, but in a flash, he could bring his wife, and then he felt that he should bring his concubine, and then he felt that the princes had to participate.

By the time the final decision was made, things had completely changed, the ministers had all come and the princes and princesses were dispatched from the royal side, as long as they pondered this matter slightly, they could figure out what Li Shimin's purpose was.

At the back of the crowd, hiding from Li Yun's five apprentices, Li Chongyi suddenly chuckled twice, squeezed his eyebrows and joked Cheng Chumo: "Brother, you haven't seen Princess Qinghe for several years." ”

Cheng Chumo's face turned red, and he squirmed: "Occasionally, I also write a letter, and I have written a few poems to her......

Hey, hey, hey!

A few biaozi laughed evilly, pretending to be curious: "Isn't it, you can even write poetry?" ”

Cheng Chumo was even more embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "It's all taught by the master, and the master said that this is a sister's absolute learning." ”

Knock my sister out of school?

What kind of mastery is that?

Li Chongyi and the others looked at each other, and suddenly they all turned their heads closer to Cheng Chumo, hummed and sneered: "Okay, you guy, you must have learned a lot of skills in the past two years, we were arrested and returned to Chang'an to mess around, you yourself are in Hebei with the master to open a small stove, hurry up and take out the mastery, and our brothers must also learn." ”

Cheng Chu was silent twice, stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Yun in front of the hall, and said: "There is a kind of you go to ask the master, the master is the real master of the sister, such as my sister, who keeps calling him a big liar, but at night when he sleeps and dreams and calls his bad brother, he often eats and laughs, and a few times when I pass by the hospital, I hear it creepy, and I am scared out of a cold sweat by my eldest sister's laughter." ”

Li Chongyi and the others were described by him, and they suddenly felt a cold sweat, and the four biaozi looked like dirt, and said: "It turns out that the sister is the meaning of hooking up with a girl, so this mastery has no meaning, we are big men, what fun is there with girls, Cheng Chumo, you are so ashamed, you actually follow the master to learn this, phew!" ”

Cheng Chumo's face was full of shame, and he said cowardly: "I also know that it's not good to hook up with girls, but the master always forced me to write a letter to Qinghe, saying that what kind of feelings should be cultivated, and I can't come casually." ”

The other four biaozi rolled their eyes in unison, looking extremely disapproving.

Among them, Fang Yiai didn't understand women the most, and suddenly whispered worriedly: "Brother Cheng is a good man, but he was forced by the master to hook up with girls, what if the master suddenly remembers the four of us and forces us to hook up with girls......

Speaking of this, he frowned and said with a sad face: "Women are very troublesome, I don't want to learn this sister, but if you don't learn from the teacher, you can't learn it, and if you don't learn, you don't respect the teacher." ”

All the biaozi were shocked when they heard this, and they all immediately became sad.

At this time, the front of the court was still deliberating, and the emperor and a group of ministers were constantly discussing the matter of the flower appreciation conference, and suddenly an official of Honglu Temple slapped his head and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty forgives me, and the minister forgot to have something to play." ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and said with a little displeasure: "If the matter is not urgent, you can talk about it tomorrow, today we will discuss the matter of the flower appreciation conference, this matter is a major matter for the royal family and the secretaries." ”

The minister hesitated, but still spoke: "First there is a group of Qiuzi envoys, to engage in music and rhythm in Baqiao, this matter King Zhao has already dealt with, our Honglu Temple breathed a sigh of relief, but there is also an envoy group, but His Majesty has to come to make a decision in person, this envoy group has always admired the Central Plains, and our Tang Dynasty must not chill their enthusiasm." ”

Li Shimin was stunned again, and finally became curious, and asked, "Which country's envoy is it?" ”

The minister hurriedly took out a fold from his arms, and said: "This country is called Dongying, the folk call it Fusang, since the Han Dynasty, has been a vassal of the Central Plains, the Tang Dynasty since the founding of the country, Dongying sent three consecutive Tang envoys, this year they are ready to send the fourth, the scale will be more grand than before, because there are too many people, they dare not send directly, so first send a hundred envoys, stay in the Honglu Temple to wait for Your Majesty's approval, only Your Majesty agrees, they dare to send Tang on a large scale." ”

Li Shimin was a little proud when he heard this, and couldn't help but nod slowly and said: "The country of Dongying, I also know that this country has always admired the Central Plains, and often sends envoys to pay tribute, they are different from other countries, other countries come to the Central Plains to ask for gifts, Dongying comes to the Central Plains with all kinds of generous gifts, and their scholars love to learn, once they can apprentice, they will be diligent ......."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, looked at the minister and asked curiously, "How many people are they going to send this time, and they are afraid that I will not agree?" ”

The minister smiled hesitantly, slowly stretched out a finger, and said, "A thousand!" ”

Hiss!

Li Shimin gasped.

A thousand-man legate?

I've never heard of this before.

The minister spoke again, and said in a strange tone: "A thousand people are just sending Tang envoys, all of them are little dolls about ten years old, in order to protect these dolls to send Tang envoys, they also have to send two thousand soldiers, in addition to more than two thousand servants, responsible for the life of the Tang envoys in the Central Plains." ”

Li Shimin made a rough calculation in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "I'm afraid there must be four or five thousand people." ”

I had never heard of such a large group of envoys.

However, the minister's reply was not finished, and he said again: "Your Majesty's guess is a little different, I am afraid that their number is more than four or five thousand, because in addition to sending Tang envoys and soldiers and servants, there are also Dongying merchants who want to come to the Tang Dynasty to open up business routes, but the specific number is unknown, and they themselves are not sure how many people will come......"

Such a large number of envoys can be called the first time in ancient times, if this envoy group can really come, Li Shimin will definitely have a heavy stroke in the history books.

The emperor was also greedy for fame, and his breathing couldn't help but become heavy.

But he didn't agree immediately, but glanced at Li Yun in the court, and suddenly said, "After King Zhao heard this, did he feel a sense of surprise in his heart?" My Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more like the Celestial Empire, and there are even small countries ready to send tens of thousands of envoys, such glory, I am very surprised. ”

Li Yun smiled, hugged Li Zhi and slowly stood up, and said meaningfully: "The minister is also very surprised, hehehehe......"
