Hearing the words, everyone present suddenly realized, and then there was silence.

It's a good deal, he actually adopted such a method to avoid offending the official family and the king of Qi, and he really used such a masterful officialdom power trick to perfection!

Xie Junhao concluded with a smile: "So, no matter what, we have won this bet." ”

Chen Xuan nodded, frowned at the good-looking sword eyebrows and said, "But there is one thing, I still don't understand, since you want to gamble, why do you want to bet on such a bet that you obviously want to lose?" Can't she be a little smarter? At the very least, the outcome is not so obvious. ”

Xie Junhao laughed and said, "Speaking of which, I would like to congratulate Your Highness on the next." ”

"Oh? Congratulations to this king? Where do the words come from? Chen Xuan was confused.

Xie Junhao explained with a smile: "Minglishang, for the battle for the throne between Your Highness and the official family, Zhe Zhao has an impartial attitude, but in fact, she is on Your Highness's side, Your Highness may wish to think about it, if you can't see through the outcome and make a bet, even if Your Highness wins, how can you understand Zhe Zhao's true intentions?" Zhe Zhao made it clear that he deliberately released the water to let His Highness win! ”

Hearing this, Chen Xuan's heart was overjoyed, and he laughed and said, "In this way, the Metropolitan Governor of the Zhenwu Army is also at the center of this battle for the throne to this king?" ”

Xie Junhao smiled and said, "It should be so, but I didn't expect Zhe Zhao to be so slippery, which was beyond our expectations." ”

Chen Xuan thought for a while, and snorted coldly: "Zhe Zhao is not stupid, but this king is not stupid either, since she wants to take the golden mean between this king and Chen Hong impartially, then this king will not let her get her wish." ”

Nan Zhengjie smiled and asked, "Could it be that Your Highness, you have a clever plan?" ”

Chen Xuan nodded, and a palpitating color flashed in his eyes: "Tomorrow's gambling contract at Duanmen, this king wants to let the entire Luoyang City know, and also let the imperial brother who sits on the throne know, let the whole world see how the famous governor of the Zhenwu Army is lying under this king!" ”

The words are sonorous and powerful, full of the power of a king.

Xie Junhao immediately understood Chen Xuan's intentions, and said with a smile: "I understand what to do, and the prince can rest assured." ”

After the deliberate publicity of Xie Junhao and others, the fact that Cui Wenqing, the husband of Zhezhao, would make a bet with Lu Yijian in Duanmen spread throughout the Luoyang officialdom before dusk, and continued to spread among the people.

All of a sudden, the nobles and nobles of Luoyang City, and the common people of Qianshou were discussing this matter all night, but everyone had the same attitude towards the landing of the two iron balls, one heavy and one light.

That is, it is certain that the heaviest iron ball will land first.

Such an obvious fact is indeed foreseeable by everyone, it seems that Cui Wenqing, who is famous in Luoyang City this time, is afraid that he will lose.

In the dark night, many people have been complicated by this incident and have difficulty sleeping.

In the Eight Sages Palace, Chen Ningmo sat in front of the railing, looking at the bright stars in the sky and muttering: "Cui Wenqing, you know that you are losing, why do you want to accept it?" Are you really dissatisfied with me and want to worship under Lu Yijian's door? After that, he sighed.

In a mansion in Jishanfang, Wang Anshi, who was wearing cloth clothes, was strolling by the pond, thinking deeper and farther than Chen Ningmo, and his sigh was also heavy and heavy: "In this way, Zhe Zhao still has his heart set on King Qi, and he actually used such a gambling contract that he knew was a loss, and agreed to the conditions and requirements of King Qi, if Cui Wenqing really worships Lu Yijian as a teacher, I am afraid that he will no longer be a person in my Tao!" Pity! Pity! After saying that, he shook his head again and again, and his body looked lonely and lonely.

In the Su Mansion of Shanglinfang, Su Shi has a completely different opinion from others: "Will Cui Wenqing lose?" Hehe, I've known him for so long, how have I ever seen Brother Wen Qing suffer? No need to ask, he has already prepared his backhand. ”

The person who was talking to Su Shi was a stunning woman, and seeing that Su Shi was so confident in Cui Wenqing, she smiled lightly: "But big brother, the landing of the iron ball is really obvious, even if Cui Wenqing has the ability to reach the sky, I believe it will be difficult to change the result." ”

Su Shi shook his hand and smiled: "Little sister, you don't know him, even if the result is obvious, I believe he can find a way to win, don't forget, he is the most talented person I have ever seen in my life!" ”

The stunning woman shook her head and chuckled: "Big brother, this is called blind trust, whether Cui Wenqing wins or loses, tomorrow is to know, it's better to go to bed early to nourish your spirits, and go to Duanmen tomorrow to watch the results." ”

Su Shi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Little sister's words are very true, well, tomorrow I will take a good look at how Brother Wen Qing wins." ”

The majestic palace, the palace is forbidden and forested, and the lights are flickering and blurry.

In the Longxing Hall of the Emperor's Bedroom, the bronze lamps of equal height flickered and flickered, flickering and dimming, and Chen Hong's face was also reflected in the flickering light.

The Great Qi Emperor had no intention of sleeping, and had been sitting on the throne for a full hour.

Cui Wenqing and Lu Yijian's bet on tomorrow seems simple, but there are really too many problems involved, and Chen Hong naturally understands the power.

If the result is that Cui Wenqing loses, then King Qi's henchmen can be placed in the Zhenwu army, and Cui Wenqing must also apprentice to Lu Yijian.

From now on, in the open and secret struggle between him and the King of Qi, Zhe Zhao will definitely favor the side of the King of Qi, and Cui Wenqing, who has high hopes for him and Wang Anshi, believes that he will also become the minions of the King of Qi's forces, and will no longer have anything to do with the change.

Why did Cui Wenqing make such a bet knowing that he was bound to lose? And will it be above the end gate, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials?

It seems that I am afraid that Zhe Zhao has already given birth to a different heart, and he has a heart for King Qi!

Thinking of this, Chen Hong sighed heavily, and the sigh echoed in the empty hall for a long time.

At noon the next day, the clouds were high and the sky was clear, which was a rare good weather.

Outside the Duanmen, there were already standing full of civil and military officials, princes and ministers, and many Qianshou people crossed the Tianjin Bridge and came to the square outside the Duanmen to stop and watch from afar, and the scene was lively.

On the top of the city tower, Chen Xuan, the king of Qi, Xie Junhao, the prime minister, and Lu Yijian, the famous minister of Zhishi, were already seated, and next to them, there were also the governors of the Zhenwu army, Zhe Zhao, and Wang Anshi, the prime minister of the dynasty.

Originally, according to Wang Anshi's original intention, he was unwilling to come at all in such an obvious situation.

But first, he still had a little inexplicable hope in his heart, and secondly, he couldn't stand Su Shi's affirmation of Cui Wenqing's character, and after several hesitations, he decided to come.

As for the official Chen Hong, he was not in the mood to come to watch the two gamble, after all, it was clear that Zhezhao had the heart to join the command of King Qi, how could he come to endure such humiliation?
