Liu E's mood was disturbed, and she didn't have the heart to continue watching the Keju race, she said with a cold face: "The old body is tired, get up and drive back to the palace." Zhao Zhen and a group of ministers hurriedly got up to send off, and Zhao Ji, the king of Xiaoyuan, knelt on the ground with a flustered face, and watched the queen mother leave with a complicated expression.

A minister close to King Xiaoyuan reminded in a whisper: "Little prince, the Queen Mother is gone." ”

Zhao Ji looked at the back of the Queen Mother and was a little distracted, he frowned and slowly stood up when he heard the words, he still didn't understand why the Queen Mother was so angry, he couldn't find the key to the problem, he didn't know how to solve it, and he didn't know how to avoid it next time, which made him a little flustered and a little overwhelmed.

Zhao Zhen looked at him frowning and thinking, and sighed: This imperial brother is too scheming...... Zhao Qin'er did not hide her pride at all, the brothers and sisters of King Xiaoyuan have always been domineering, and this time they were finally reprimanded by the Queen Mother!

The Empress Dowager's angry departure made the originally harmonious atmosphere a little stagnant, and all the ministers no longer talked enthusiastically, and occasionally those who talked were also whispered and cautious, lest they be heard by others.

Li Ce vaguely heard a few elderly ministers whispering about Liu E's life experience, and then it suddenly dawned on him, it was recorded in the history books that Liu E was from a humble background, although she later entered the palace as a concubine and queen, and her previous experience has always been her inferiority, which is often criticized.

"Knock, knock, knock" soon the second game began, Keju field was lively again, the second appearance of the two teams is the prime minister Ding Wei and the privy envoy Zhang Qi, the two heavyweights appeared, suddenly attracted the attention of the officials again.

"You don't need to watch this game, the prime minister must have won." An adult muttered quietly.

"How do you know?" Someone asked.

"Hehe, Zhang Qi is like a human spirit, he has always been a good man, who do you think he has offended? Besides, with the prime minister's current power, who would dare to win him? The man said.

"I don't think so, the Privy Council is in charge of military power, and it has always been in opposition to Zhongshu Province, known as the East and West Mansions, and there is no need for this privy envoy to bow to the prime minister." A minister shook his head and said.

"You don't understand this, if you change to the last privy envoy Cao Bin Cao, he is naturally not afraid of the prime minister, but this privy envoy, hehe...... He is about to retire, and he doesn't dare to compete with the prime minister, if you don't believe it, just look at it. The man said triumphantly.

"Fan Yan, as far as you know, one day it will be planted in your mouth mountain." A minister reminded him.

It turned out that this person's name was Fan Yan, who was in his forties this year, and was a counselor, and this person was also known for his big mouth, there was nothing he didn't dare to say, and there was no person he didn't dare to say, so he made him a counselor.

Chen Yaozuo and Zhang Shixun glanced at each other, Ding Wei was so domineering that even Zhang Qi, the privy envoy, did not dare to win against him.

Li Ce was secretly frightened on the side, he only knew that Ding Wei was powerful, and he had fought with him once, and he didn't think that this old man had anything powerful, but just now after listening to this group of old things, he realized that this Ding Wei actually made them so afraid. The privy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty is equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the whole ** team, such an absolutely powerful person is actually afraid of Ding Wei, and he doesn't even dare to win the game, which is too cowardly!

At this time, there was a burst of cheers from the audience, Li Ce looked at it, it turned out to be a goal, it seemed to be Ding Wei's team, he looked up, Ding Wei was sitting in the west, smiling and brushing his beard at this time, looking so unhappy, and a minister next to him was trying his best to flatter.

Li Ce's eyes inadvertently collided with Zhao Zhen, he saw the dislike in Zhao Zhen's eyes, it's no wonder, just now Zhao Zhen's team scored, I didn't see these people shoot so hard, now the prime minister's team has scored, these people are just like the New Year, they look happier than the parties, isn't this a typical flattery? And this limelight directly overpowered the emperor.

Ding Wei, Ding Wei, I don't know if you really don't know or don't care at all, the truth of prosperity and decline, it stands to reason that you should have a deep understanding of living to your age, but you are still so flamboyant, and you are not far from decay...... Li Ce shook his head, the authorities are fascinated, the bystanders are clear, and the obsession with power covers his eyes.

This game was extremely boring, like chopping vegetables and melons, there was no suspense from beginning to end, and at the end of the day, Ding Wei won without surprise.

All the ministers are congratulating Ding Wei, and Zhao Zhen also symbolically praised two sentences, at this time, an old man, even his beard and eyebrows have turned white, he smiled and said to Ding Wei: "The prime minister's Keju team has a lot of masters, the old man admires it tightly, and this game is not unjust." "It turns out that this person is Zhang Qi, he is almost eighty years old this year, and he is already old.

"Where, where, thanks to Lord Zhang's humility." The two said politely.

Li Ce looked at this posture, and understood in his heart that what Fan Yan said just now was indeed right, this Zhang Qi really didn't have the courage to win Ding Wei, the game just now was obviously releasing water, but this old guy has a limited IQ and doesn't know how to point it out secretly, you Zhang Qi releases water to others, but people don't necessarily accept your affection! Because your Keju team performed extremely poorly at the beginning, if you said that you secretly released water, people would think that you said this on purpose because you couldn't wipe your face, and looking at Ding Wei's disdainful expression, I never thought that you deliberately let him, Zhang Qi, Zhang Qi, you are really confused.

In the middle of the half, Zhao Zhen called Li Ce aside and said: "The next game is a showdown between Zhao Ji and a team from the people, you take a closer look at his strength, and you have a good idea." ”

Li Ce nodded and said: "Wechen remember, it's just that Wechen wants to go back over there to watch the game, and there are too many constraints in this place, Wechen thinks...... Awkward. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded: "It's okay, you can guide our team members nearby, by the way, treat them well at dinner, and get off to a good start in the first game today, so I will reward them!" Zhao Zhen said generously.

"Well, Your Majesty Shengming, it's just ......" The corners of Li Ce's mouth twitched, and his expression was a little hesitant.

"Just what?"

"This silver...... Weichen's only thirty taels have been fully bet. Li Ce scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

"Oh, you go to Han Song's to get it, I didn't say that you would pay the silver, it scared you." Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and laughed.

"Han Lao...... It's been almost all over these days. Li Ce said embarrassedly.

"What? Flowers gone? Zhao Zhen's expression was a little stunned, and his laughing expression instantly froze, and he pulled Li Ce over and said in a low voice: "I gave him three months' advance funds in advance, and it was gone in less than a month?" ”

"It seems that there are still a dozen taels left, and Old Han refuses to let go......" Li Ce said embarrassedly.

"Li Ce, my silver is not blown by the wind! There is also a limit on the amount of money that the household can allocate to me each year. Zhao Zhen began to cry.

Li Ce's eyes rolled and he said: No, you are an emperor, can you still have money to spend? You can't lie to me......

Zhao Zhen saw that he didn't believe it, and he was so angry that he just wanted to kick him, and only this kid dared to look at him with that kind of suspicious gaze, he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, don't believe it, I still have a few hundred taels here, you can use some of them for the time being, and I will send someone to send it to you later, but you have to remember to save some flowers!" In two days, it will be the Queen Mother's birthday, and I still have to use silver. ”

"Wechen knows." Li Ce looked at him with a painful look, for fear that he would regret it and hurriedly got up to say goodbye.

"Li Ce, you wait a while, I'll go too." But it was Zhao Qin'er who spoke.

Li Ce's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "What are you going to do with you, there are a group of old men there, don't lose your dignity as a princess." ”

"Phew, when did you treat me like a princess? Don't forget that this princess also made a bet of 1,000 taels of silver, which is my entire net worth! You're a scoundrel, I'm not at ease, I'm going to stare at it myself. Zhao Qin'er pouted.

Li Ce was reluctant to take her in his heart, but she also knew Zhao Qin'er's temper, if she didn't agree, maybe she would clean herself up, so he had no choice but to sigh and mutter: "I'm willing to follow, I have to say that I'm a scoundrel......" He waved his hand and turned around and left, and Zhao Qin'er hurriedly followed him.

The two of them were walking backwards, and one of them came to meet each other, this person was about forty years old, wearing a purple python robe, a Chinese face, and a short beard.

What a powerful aura! Li Ce secretly praised.

"Eighth uncle, are you here too?" Zhao Qin'er suddenly ran up and pulled the man's hand and said.

The man smiled slightly: "Yes, the eighth uncle has been delayed a little, how is the battle situation now?" ”

Eighth uncle? Li Ce was puzzled, Zhao Qin'er's eighth uncle is naturally Zhao Zhen's eighth uncle, and this person is clearly a prince in a python robe, there is only one prince in the Renzong Dynasty who is more famous, and he is also the eighth in line, is this person ...... The Eight Wise Kings?! Thinking of this, Li Ce was shocked, the name of the Eight Sages King is known to women and children, and there are countless various film and television interpretations of his deeds in later generations.

"Hey, you're stupid? Why are you stunned, this is the eighth prince. Zhao Qin'er couldn't help but be furious when she saw Li Ce's stupid appearance, this stupid person will embarrass himself at a critical time!

Sure enough, it was him! Li Ce said secretly, he hurriedly came over to salute and said, "Oh, Weichen has seen the Eighth Prince." ”

The Eight Sages King's real name is Zhao Yuanyan, he is the eighth son of Song Taizong, because he ranks eighth, so he is called the Eight Princes, and because he is upright, the virtuous name is outside, and he is respected as the Eight Sage Kings.

The Eight Sages King nodded slightly, he still thought that Li Ce's little guy was just Zhao Qin'er's follower.

"Eighth uncle, go quickly, the imperial brother still has a seat for you." Zhao Qin'er grinned.

The Eight Sages King grabbed her, hesitated for a while, and said, "Is Empress Dowager Liu here?" ”

Zhao Qin'er frowned a little when she saw him, and couldn't help but smile and said: "The Queen Mother, she just left, just now Zhao Ji annoyed the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother severely punished him." ”

The Eight Sages King seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Well, it's time for Zhao Ji's child to discipline him." In this way, the eighth uncle passed first. ”

When the Eight Sages King walked past Li Ce, Li Ce was still looking at him stupidly, and the Eight Sages King glanced at him and strode away without saying anything.

"Tsk, this bearing, this posture, domineering!" Li Ce couldn't help but sigh.

"Of course, even when Ding Wei sees the eighth uncle, he has to respectfully call the eighth prince!" Zhao Qin'er said proudly.

"Then why is the government still controlled by Ding Wei?" Li Ce asked rhetorically.

"You don't understand this, this is our royal business, what, do you want to inquire?" Zhao Qin'er raised her eyebrows and asked.

"Ha, I said why don't you leave after grinding and chirping, you won't be able to watch the next game later." Li Ce hurriedly diverted the topic, and said in the blink of an eye, he is not stupid, the less the royal secrets are known, the better.

Zhao Qin'er looked at his gray back, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, it turned out that this scoundrel also knew to be afraid.
