Chapter 191 The Emperor's Intent

Li Zhi looked at Gao Sheng, Cheng Chubi, and Lao Li who were kneeling in the hall with interest.

The top three combinations of this mahjong tournament are really subversive of ordinary people's cognition.

Cheng Chubi is the young man of the Lu State Mansion, with a prominent family background, but he can enter the top three without learning or skill.

As for Gao Sheng, although he was named a man in Xiahe County, he was a farmer for eighteen generations.

In the end, this person who is even more subversive of ordinary people's cognition is the prisoner of Dali Temple, which is even more subversive.

Looking at the three people who were kneeling in the hall and didn't dare to raise their heads, Li Zhi smiled slightly, no matter what, the hero didn't ask where he came from.

"Xiahe County male, the head of the ordnance supervisor Cheng, the level of rubbing hemp between the two of you is so refined that I am surprised?"

Where can't Gao Sheng and Cheng Chubi hear the voice of the emperor Lao'er?

On that day, Li Zhi paid a private visit to Gao's house, and the four of them rubbed hemp, Gao Sheng and Cheng Chubi "The smell of level", Li Zhi was deeply aware of it, and when he left Gao's house, he took more than 30 times to prove it.

Although Li Zhi had already used the excuse of rewarding Gao Sheng for repairing water conservancy in winter to return the money, the level of hemp rubbing of Gao Sheng and Cheng Chubi was not as good as that of a beginner in his heart.

But the mahjong competition that gathered all Chang'an nobles, clan relatives, and literati, the result was that Gao Sheng and Cheng Chubi won the second and third places respectively, which made Li Zhi react instantly, and the two of them took the initiative to lose to him in the Gao family that day.

Gao Sheng and Cheng Chubi were in a cold sweat on their backs, if Li Zhi blamed him, he could definitely be convicted of bullying the king.

The two didn't dare to talk, for fear that if they said the wrong word, it would be a catastrophe.

"It just so happens that Li Prison Cheng is also here, why don't you let me see how good your two hemp rubbing skills are?"

Li Zhi saw the trembling appearance of the two, and seemed to be very useful, so he turned his head and said to Wang Fusheng, who was serving beside him: "Fusheng, prepare for the mahjong table, I want to test the level of these three people, if I can't even win, I will be the top three in the mahjong competition, drag it out, and the court staff will be twenty." ”

Wang Fusheng hurriedly responded, and then withdrew from the hall to prepare.

Gao Sheng, Cheng Chubi and Lao Li were dumbfounded, the emperor recruited the three of them, was it just to test the level of mahjong for the three of them?

Li Zhi got up from the dragon chair and knelt down the stairs to the three people: "Get up, show your real skills in a while, whoever makes me unhappy, I won't let him be happy." ”

The three of them hurriedly responded, hunched over, and all lowered their heads, with a good baby appearance, which made Li Zhi want to laugh when he looked at it.

Wait until Wang Fusheng leads people to set up mahjong tables and four chairs in the main hall.

Gao Sheng, Cheng Chubi and Lao Li understood that it seemed that they had to rub the mahjong with Emperor Lao'er today.

"Mahjong is a small rub for pleasure, and a big rub hurts the body." Li Zhi sighed for no reason.

When he first came into contact with mahjong, he rubbed with Concubine Bin in the dark, and he didn't even go to the morning court on the second day, which made the old man of the Manchu Dynasty criticize.

"Shengshang, the man of Xiahe County, the head of the ordnance supervisor, and the prisoner of Dali Temple have no bargaining chips in hand."

Wang Fusheng only narrated the facts, and everything was the idea of Emperor Li Zhi.

"Borrow ten pieces from the palace." Li Zhi said lightly.

Wang Fusheng answered and took the order.

Li Zhi turned his head and joked to the three of them, and said, "I still want to repair the Daming Palace, whether I win or lose, but I have to pay it back." ”

Gao Sheng and Cheng Chubi looked as usual, Shiguan was nothing to the two of them, but Lao Li on the side was a little panicked.

Ten times, it's not worth ten times if you sell him, if you lose, what will you give back to the emperor?

won the first place in the mahjong competition, and the ten times he got were already given to the widow of the dead jailer, and if he lost, he really couldn't fill the money.

Lao Li's face was pale, he wanted to cry without tears, he knew that he would have to accompany the emperor Lao'er to rub mahjong when he won the first place in the mahjong competition, and he didn't fight for the first place if he was killed.

Gao Sheng knew his thoughts, and in front of the emperor Lao'er, it was not easy to remind him that if Lao Li lost everything, he was ready to pay back Lao Li.

In fact, Gao Sheng and Cheng Chubi are both generally thinking that the emperor's money is not easy to win.

But Li Zhi said it first, and if the two of them don't come out with some real skills, I'm afraid they won't be able to pass today's level.

Li Zhi sat the trembling three people, roasted the warm charcoal fire, and began to rub the hemp.

When shuffling the cards, Gao Sheng and Cheng Chubi exchanged a look, they were all made up, today's game, not to lose or win is the way to win.

Accompany the emperor Lao'er to play mahjong, no one can let go of their hands and feet, Gao Sheng and Cheng Chubi have always controlled it very well, winning and losing half of the games after a few rounds, if they don't lose, the two will never win, and always maintain a situation of not losing or winning.

The only one who loses is Li Zhi, and the only one who wins is Lao Li.

After a few laps, Li Zhi's luck was really stinky, and finally pushed the mahjong down, stood up, waved his hand in annoyance, and said: "This mahjong is also very boring, don't rub it." ”

"Uh......"

The three of them were dumbfounded, saying that it was Li Zhi who rubbed mahjong, and it was Li Zhi who said that he didn't rub mahjong, and it was really the emperor Lao Tzu, who had to increase the chips when he won, and when he lost, he didn't rub his hands, and the people who accompanied him couldn't have an opinion.

If it is in modern times, just get together four people mahjong, and suddenly one person says that he will not rub mahjong, and he will have to be beaten by the other three.

But this is the Tang Dynasty, the person who doesn't rub mahjong is the emperor's old man, who dares to say a word, who can do anything?

Mahjong can't go on anymore, and after checking out, Lao Li actually won more than three times, and his face became more ugly than a pig.

Dare to win the emperor's money, the courage is fat!

Gao Sheng looked at Lao Li nervously, for fear that Li Zhi would be mad.

Li Zhi smiled and said to the nervous old Li: "Yes, Li Prison Cheng deserves to be the champion of the mahjong competition, and I am not your opponent." ”

When Lao Li heard Li Zhi's words, his heart was broken, his body softened, he stumbled from the chair, fell directly to the ground, and exclaimed: "Minister...... No, the little rubbing hemp dares to win the saint, the sin deserves ten thousand deaths, and the sins deserve ten thousand deaths. ”

Li Zhi frowned and said, "What is Li Prison's crime?" If you win, you win, you don't steal, you don't violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, when I am a person who can't afford to lose? ”

Lao Li was prostrate on the ground, trembling, not knowing what to say not to offend the fear of the emperor Lao'er, and he couldn't advance or retreat for a while, and was silent and embarrassed on the spot.

At this moment, Li Zhi suddenly said: "The man in Xiahe County is promoted." ”

"Ascension." Gao Sheng hurriedly crawled to the ground.

"You stay."

After speaking, Li Zhi walked into the hall without looking back.

In the main hall, Gao Sheng, Cheng Chubi and Lao Li were left prostrate on the ground, and Wang Fusheng bowed and stood aside.

When Li Zhi's figure disappeared in the hall, Wang Fusheng said to the three people: "Shaolangjun and Li Jiaocheng, come with the old slave, and the old slave will lead the two of you out of the palace." ”

Cheng Chubi and Lao Li hurriedly got up, leaving Gao Sheng alone to kneel in the hall, muttering in their hearts.

Cheng Chubi and Lao Li looked at him sympathetically, the two really couldn't understand, why did the emperor Lao'er leave Gao Sheng alone?
