Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, playing mahjong with the emperor, Qin Li was still a little restrained at the beginning. But later, when he saw that this emperor was really dancing with his eyebrows, there was no shelf at all, no different from when he was playing with ordinary gangsters, Qin Li slowly let go, and it was very natural.

All the officials in Yangzhou stood around the table, watching the four people sit and play mahjong.

Qin Li stilted Erlang's legs, stared at the mahjong cards in front of him, giggled twice from time to time, and exclaimed, "This card is good!" This time, the grass people see that the emperor is going to lose! Hee-hee! ”

Qin Li's virtue aroused both envy and hatred among those officials. What's so much to do with a grass farmer? Alas! But people are now favored by the emperor, and people are really incomparable!

Emperor Zhengde had a bitter face, looked up at Qin Li, and Jiang Bin was making a 50,000 shot. The emperor's face suddenly became like a blooming flower, pushed the card in front of him, and laughed, "Hu, I'm Hu again!" Ha ha! ”

Wu Jing and Jiang Bin hurriedly patted their flattering ass and said, "The emperor is really lucky, a few of us are playing with the emperor, how much silver has not been won by you!" Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, the emperor is rich again! ”

Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear. Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Zhengde smiled more proudly and happily. Suddenly, his eyes stared at Jiang Bin's face, his face turned cold, and he said angrily, "What did you call me just now?" ”

Jiang Bin was about forty years old, a burly man, with sideburns and beard, a black face, and a slender scar on his face, which looked very vicious.

However, seeing that the emperor was angry, Jiang Bin was suddenly at a loss, suddenly slapped his forehead, and sneered, "Oops! Look at the memory of the minister. Godfather! Godfather, you're in luck! ”

"Huh! That's right, I like you to call me godfather. ”

It may be that Zhu Houzhao has never had a son, so he wants to hear others call him father.

But this is a bit inappropriate, Zhu Houzhao is only thirty years old, and Jiang Bin is forty years old. But Jiang Bin was so happy that he willingly recognized Zhu Houzhao, a man who was more than ten years younger than him, as his godfather.

Don't say it, Jiang Bin's godfather is really worth it!

Jiang Bin was originally a general of the border pass, but later because of Qian Ning's recommendation, he was summoned by Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao fell in love with Jiang Bin's toughness from the first time he saw him. recognized Jiang Bin as his godson. Since then, Jiang Bin has been inseparable from Zhu Houzhao, pampering and abusing power.

Jiang Bin first commanded the "four outer armies" of Liaodong, Xuanfu, Datong, and Yansui. In the twelfth year of Zhengde, Jiang Bin entered the Pingyu Uncle. This year, that is, the fourteenth year of Zhengde, Jiang Bin is the commander of the East Factory and Jinyiwei.

After Zhu Houzhao proclaimed himself "Governor, Military Affairs, Mighty General, Chief Military Officer" and "Zhenguo Gong", Jiang Bin was even named deputy general, and his power soared to the sky.

In Jiang Bin's flattering words, the next round of mahjong started again. Zhu Houzhao applauded again and again, "Tsk! That's great! This card is here, Qin Li, how did you grow this brain? How did you come up with such a novelty? This is much more fun than the horse crane, I really regret it, I came to Yangzhou too late. ”

Qin Li grinned and said, "Actually, the grass people are not smart people, but the grass people just like to think about something novel and interesting." There are still a lot of interesting things in the grass people's minds, and they will talk about it with the emperor one by one another day. ”

When Qin Li said this, Wu Jing's face was extremely happy, and he secretly accepted such a good godson from Qin Li. However, Jiang Bin's eyes skipped a resentful look, and he glared at Qin Li fiercely.

At this time, Qin Li was looking at the emperor with both eyes, so he naturally didn't pay attention to Jiang Bin's eyes.

Jiang Yao, the prefect of Yangzhou, suddenly coughed lightly, smiled, and said, "Your Majesty, this mahjong is indeed a good thing." Yangzhou is already very gambling, and as soon as this mahjong comes out, the wealthy people of Yangzhou are even more obsessed with this thing. But at present, only the Lin family gambling house in Yangzhou can operate mahjong, and the gambling capital is very large, and there are few signs of family ruin, which is really unfavorable to the people of Yangzhou. According to Xiaochen, if this mahjong is promoted, anyone can play and anyone can produce. As the so-called blockage is not as good as sparse, so that mahjong is no longer mysterious, so that mahjong is only an entertainment activity, which will surely make my gambling style in Yangzhou be curbed one or two. ”

Jiang Yao is of medium stature, kind and kind-eyed, giving people an impression of loyalty and honesty.

Hearing Jiang Yao say this, Qin Li "chuckled" in his heart. Anyone can produce it, and you can play anywhere, so don't I want to drink the northwest wind in my Lin family gambling house?

Emperor Zhengde didn't even hesitate, nodded and said, "Should, should!" This thing is a fun thing, so we people in the Ming Dynasty should be asked to play and enjoy the fun. ”

Wu Jing couldn't hold it back at first, and hurriedly said, "No, no!" Your Majesty, this mahjong was invented by Qin Li, the godson of the old slave, and the right to operate should be Qin Li alone, if anyone can produce it, anyone can operate it, then Qin Li's invention of this is not a little good? ”

Qin Li hurriedly left the chair, knelt on his knees, and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, the grass people think that what my godfather said is right. We should have a patent law, and whoever invents something is only allowed to operate. Only in this way can we mobilize the enthusiasm of the people of the Ming Dynasty, open up our brains, be good at inventions, and make our Ming culture continue to progress! The grass people dare not deceive the emperor, and now the mahjong management rights in Yangzhou City are in the hands of the grass people, which is completely the power of the grass people's godfather Wu Gonggong! ”

Qin Li said this cleverly, the reason why he said this was actually selfish. Daming does not have a patent law, who knows what this Zhengde emperor thinks of this matter? In case the emperor doesn't want to concentrate the management of mahjong in one house, isn't he going to anger the emperor?

It is a matter of course to quietly push all this to Wu Jing, who let Wu Jing take half of the income of the Lin family's gambling house.

Emperor Zhengde was originally in high spirits, but he didn't think about it, so he just said a sentence and made such a scene. Just as he was wondering, Jiang Bin interjected, "Godfather, Xiaochen also feels that what Gonggong Wu and Qin Li said is right, I really should have a protection for the person who invented things,"

Jiang Bin and Wu Jing were both favored by Emperor Zhengde. On weekdays, the two of them are very close and embarrassed. At this time, Jiang Bin helped Wu Jing speak.

Qin Li saw that Emperor Zhengde was hesitating, so he took the opportunity to say, "The grass people feel that I really should establish such a law. The establishment of such a law will surely reflect that my Ming Emperor is an enlightened lord, wholeheartedly for the sake of all people, and is a saint of a thousand ages! ”

Wu Jing said so, Jiang Bin said so, and Qin Li also said so. What else can Emperor Zhengde consider, as for the prefect Jiang Yao, he is nothing in the eyes of the emperor, and his words naturally will not have any weight. Besides, what emperor wants to be a faint king? When Zhengde heard this, he laughed, "Okay! In the opinion of Yier and others. ”

Suddenly, he frowned again and asked, "By the way, Qin Li, in your opinion, what should be the name of this law?" ”

"The inventor should enjoy the exclusive right to own, the right to operate exclusively, according to the grass people's opinion, it is called the Ming Patent Law!" Qin Li's heart was full of joy and said crisply.

"Good! Daming Patent Law, this name is good! Jiang Bin, tomorrow will send someone back to Beijing to formulate the Ming Patent Law in Dali Temple. ”

"Yes, the minister obeys!" Jiang Bin hurriedly responded.

So, the accompanying historian recorded such a sentence: On April 20, the 14th year of Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhengde formulated the Ming Patent Law.

Who would have thought that such a law would be made on a mahjong table? It's ridiculous!

After playing five or six rounds of mahjong with Emperor Zhengde, Wu Jing persuaded him, "Your Majesty, it's not early, your old body is important." Let's play tomorrow, old slave! ”

At this time, Jiang Bin's upper and lower eyelids had already started fighting, and when he heard Wu Jing say this, he hurriedly took the opportunity to make suggestions. Emperor Zhengde was still unsatisfied, and said unhappily, "Okay, it's up to you!" By the way, Qin Li, you have to come early tomorrow! ”

"Yes! The grass people have written it down, and the grass people will come to accompany the emperor early tomorrow morning! Qin Li knelt down and said.

Although it is said that the emperor is not easy to accompany, Qin Li knows that it will be of great benefit to him if he is familiar with the emperor and has a good relationship.

Qin Li dragged his tired body out of the emperor's palace and slowly walked towards home. At this time, he was very happy, with the Ming Patent Law and the emperor's support behind him, the business of the gambling house would be thriving, and countless white silver would come more and faster.

There's no need to rely on Wu Jing in the future, Wu Jing? A eunuch has a heart that is too dark, and he will take half of the income of the gambling house at once. Hey! After that, he had to think of getting the gambling house to disassociate himself from him.

Along the way, I made a small calculation and returned home unconsciously.

At this time, the house was brightly lit, and Qin Li, the door-to-door son-in-law who was inverted, was simply a treasure in the eyes of Lin Ying and the Lin family. If he doesn't come back, no one will have the heart to sleep.

Qin Li greeted them before returning to his room.

Lin Yan'er was sitting on the couch, anxiously waiting for Qin Li to come back.

Today, Qin Li spared his life to protect Lin Yan'er, and that posture was like an old hen protecting the chicks, which really moved Lin Yan'er.

Seeing Qin Li enter the house, Lin Yan'er jumped off the couch and shouted happily, "Xianggong is back, Xianggong hasn't eaten yet, right?" The concubine went to prepare immediately! ”

After speaking, he showed a crimson and delicate smile to Qin Li, and twisted Yang Liu's thin waist to go out.

Qin Li suddenly fell into a five-mile fog, touched his forehead, and said secretly, I don't have a fever, what's wrong today? Why is Yan'er smiling so happily and so naturally? This is the Yan'er in my heart, this is the real Yan'er.

A heart also jumped with excitement.

Lin Yan'er quickly served Qin Li a tray of hot food, put it on the table, and said softly, "Xianggong, please use it slowly!" ”

With that, he bowed his head and stood at the table.

Qin Li smiled slightly, "Yan'er has worked hard, you can also sit and eat together." ”

Lin Yan'er has been waiting for Qin Li to come back, she really hasn't eaten dinner, and when she heard Qin Li say this, she felt that Qin Li cared about her. Smiled happily, sat down at the table gently, slowly picked up the chopsticks, chewed and swallowed slowly.

It was already the middle of the night, and Qin Li's hungry stomach was already rumbling. picked up the dishes and chopsticks, gobbled them up, and the one they ate was called a sweet one, and Lin Yan'er, who was watching, couldn't help but purse her mouth and laugh secretly.

"Xianggong, eat slowly, no one will rob you."

The two talked and laughed and finished eating.

Qin Li became more and more puzzled, could it be that I really entered Yan'er's heart? Really conquered this little beauty from the heart?

"Oops! It hurts! Qin Li was just about to stand up, when he suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from his tail vertebrae.

"Xianggong, what's wrong? Where does it hurt? Lin Yan'er asked anxiously.

"The tail vertebrae, it wasn't the bunnies who got it, I'm not done with them. I played mahjong with the emperor for most of the night, and it didn't hurt, why did it suddenly hurt at this time? Qin Li frowned and said.

Lin Yan'er slowly walked to the side of the bed with her hands on her hands, and said softly, "Xianggong, lie down!" Let the concubine rub it for the princess! ”

In the past, although Lin Yan'er served Qin Li very well, she was always depressed, unhappy and hateful, and looked like a puppet, but today is very different!

Qin Li lay on the bed obediently, and Lin Yan'er's slender hand gently rubbed it.

Sour, soft, and warm, how can Qin Li's feeling at this time be described in a cool word.

Lin Yan'er said softly, "Xianggong, does the concubine have a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?" ”

"You are my wife, my dearest person, what can't you say?" Qin Li turned his head, his eyes were full of affection, and he said sincerely.

"Concubines to this day...... Until today, I feel that Xianggong is a caring and good Xianggong. Although the concubine doesn't read much, she also knows how to be polite, righteous and honest, and she is recognized as Wu Jing's godfather, and the concubine feels really inappropriate. Xianggong may not know that in our Yangzhou, everyone is eager to pick the skin of the dead eunuch. ”

Lin Yan'er swallowed, and in the end, her pretty face was flushed.

Qin Li was stunned, sat up, and was greeted by a pretty face like a peach and plum, and eyes as clear as cutting water, Qin Li suddenly looked fascinated.

It's really weird, at this moment, the tail vertebrae don't hurt anymore, Qin Li stretched out his hands to support Lin Yan'er's shoulders, and said seriously, "Yan'er, I know that Wu Jing is not a good person, Wu Jing?" Someday I'll break up with him. ”

"Xianggong can say this, concubine...... The concubine is satisfied! Lin Yan'er's head then buried deep into Qin Li's sturdy chest.

The two hearts are so close that they can hear each other's voices.

At this moment, the two are happy.
