Chapter Thirty-Eight: The First Toy
[I have a cold, forgive me]
Obviously, Chen Guang is now leading the rhythm. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
First of all, he avoided the important and trivialized, and analyzed the harm caused by the officials' practices, so that Chen Yong felt that no one would let the officials pay such a huge price to curry favor with him.
This is the first impression, and next, Chen Guang assumes again, if this person is himself, then he can control these officials, you are a **?
This made the prince suspicious, yes, if Chen Guang is so powerful, why would he still be yin? Just do it, okay?
Finally, Chen Guang also said the most critical point. These officials who did something wrong were only punished for one year, and this punishment is simply too light compared to this matter, basically as if there was no punishment at all!
The reason why poor Chen Ang made such a decision was just because he didn't want to go too far because the Chinese New Year was about to come, and it was when the crown prince took all the blame. But this point was deliberately ignored by Chen Guang and used the other side.
Why did the prince take all the blame? Not to make a good impression on officials? You must know that those officials did that after hearing the prince's words, and now the prince will cross the river and tear down the bridge after he is happy, such a prince can still play happily with the ministers?
Therefore, for the sake of the future, the prince can only knock out his teeth and swallow them in his stomach, and then find the murderer and come to settle accounts after the autumn.
However, Chen Guang carried the rhythm all the way, and all the spearheads were pointed at one person.
"You mean...... Father ......" Chen Yong almost screamed.
"Shhhhh......h To put it mildly, if these ministers listen to me, your crown prince may not be kept. Think about it, if we were to change positions, would you do that? ”
The righteousness of his words was awe-inspiring, and Chen Yong was completely frightened. In the final analysis, no matter how much he thinks about it, no matter how young and old he is, Chen Yong is only a young man under the age of twenty, how can he be so mature in terms of mind? So in front of Chen Guang, who has been a man in two lives, and the millions of netizens behind him, he is completely in a state of being led by the nose.
Chen Yong thought about it, what Chen Guang said was very reasonable, if he really had so much energy, what nonsense was he talking about here?
But if the person in charge behind this scene is really Chen Ang, then everything makes sense.
First, who can convince these elite officials to do such a potentially head-killing thing? Only when the emperor of the dynasty.
Second, although these officials have done great rebellious things, the punishment they have received can be said to be completely minimal, who can do this? Only when the emperor of the dynasty.
Thinking of this, Chen Yong had completely believed Chen Guang's words, and with a frightened expression on his face, he said, "Why did my father do this? ”
Chen Guang shook his head and said, "Then I don't know, how can my father's mind be something that we can speculate?" But big brother, you can recall well, have you done anything recently that displeased your father? ”
Chen Yong shook his head, of course he wouldn't say it, even if he remembered something, he wouldn't say it, although he was frightened by Chen Guang, this basic city government still retained.
"Brother I came here today to tell the eldest brother about these two things, I also know that some time ago the two of us were arguing, the eldest brother must be suspicious of me, if I do this, I promise to run away immediately, and will send it to the door? Now that the eldest brother has figured it out, it is naturally good. ”
He lowered his voice and said, "Since my father let my eldest brother rest and rest, then my eldest brother should rest well and let my father dissipate his anger." ”
In the end, Chen Guang also added such a sentence, and he brought Deng Pan here, which also gave Chen Yong a signal that he Chen Guang had a clear conscience.
Chen Yong stood up and said, "What you said is true, then I'll have a good rest, maybe my father will change his mind when he changes." Brother, thanks to your enlightenment today, it seems that we brothers still need to be closer and closer. ”
"That's as it should be, after all, it's a brother, blood is thicker than water. Oh yes, I almost forgot all about it. I've brought some gadgets with me, too, to be my big brother's pastime when he's bored. Our brothers, have you also released your previous suspicions? Chen Guang arched his hand, said to Chen Yong, and then pointed to the box beside him.
"What is this?" Chen Yong asked curiously, he didn't directly answer Chen Guang's words, in his current situation, he should agree with Chen Guang's statement that he "released his previous suspicions".
Chen Guang said with a smile: "This is a little gadget made up by my younger brother, and I usually play with a few people when I don't have anything to do in the house, and it's good to pass the time." ”
"Oh?" Chen Yong was interested, walked over, and watched Chen Guang take out a delicate sandalwood box from inside, open the small golden lock, and reveal the contents inside.
It is more than an inch long, about an inch wide, and more than half an inch high, and is made of inexpensive green and white jade, smooth as a mirror on one side, and carved with various patterns on the other.
These things are neatly arranged, with two boxy dice in the center. Overall, these things are not expensive, but they are beautifully made.
"What is this thing?" Chen Yong took one and played with it in his hand, and asked with interest.
Chen Guangdao: "Mahjong, I call this game, playing mahjong." ”
"Mahjong? It's a strange name, why is it called Mahjong?" Chen Yong asked a little strangely.
"This thing is still I heard a story from someone from Jiangsu to think of it, and the people there say that the sparrow, it's called mahjong, and I call him mahjong for convenience."
Subsequently, Chen Guang told Chen Yong a story.
Mahjong cards, also known as sparrow cards, sparrow cards, are the "grain protection cards" in Taicang, Jiangsu. Relevant information records that there was once a royal granary in Taicang County, Jiangsu, which hoarded rice all year round for the "transfer of grain from the south to the north". There is a lot of food, and naturally there are frequent finch infestation, and a lot of food is lost every year due to finch infestation. In order to reward the finch-catchers and grain guards, the officials who managed the granary used bamboo chips to record the number of birds they caught, and paid them according to this, which was the "grain protection card" of Taicang. These chips are engraved with a variety of symbols and numbers, which can be viewed, played, and used as a voucher for redeeming winnings. The gameplay, symbols, and nomenclature of this kind of food protection card are all related to bird hunting.
"Oh? Is there a story like this? Chen Yong's interest was immediately aroused.
Chen Guang smiled: "Yes, I thought it was quite funny when I heard this. Later, I didn't have anything to do at home anyway, so I pondered and figured out a set of such mahjong tiles, which was very fun, you try? ”
"Hearing you say that, then I really want to try, you teach me." Chen Yong said.
In fact, the reason why the two eased their relationship so quickly was that Chen Yong thought that everything was done by Chen Ang, so that this was the emperor's will, and he didn't dare not listen. What's more, after Chen Guang's hint just now, he may feel that the reason why Chen Ang did this was to punish him for burning the Hope Project - of course, this is what he thinks in his heart, although he feels that that the thing has been done secretly enough, but who can say for sure this kind of thing? What if the father didn't know why he was doing this?
It's better to believe it than to believe it.
In this way, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he must also make a gesture of brotherly harmony.
Chen Guang was even happier like this, he only needed to wash away his suspicions in Chen Yong's heart today, as for the back, it was pure surprise.
At that moment, Chen Guang asked Chen Yong to instruct his subordinates to move over a table of eight immortals, and then spread a blanket on the table, and poured all the mahjong on the blanket.
"A deck of mahjong tiles totals 152 tiles. Including honor tiles, flower tiles, and ordinal tiles, a total of one hundred and forty-four cards. ”
"These one hundred and forty-four cards are divided into four types of east, south, west, and north wind cards."
"Wrigley, four of each type in the middle white, a total of twelve."
"Wanzi cards: from 10,000 to 90,000, four cards each, a total of thirty-six cards."
"Cylinder cards: from one to nine, four each, also thirty-six."
"The strip cards are also thirty-six."
"The five standard states of mahjong are 'eating', 'touching', 'kong', 'listening', and 'hu'."
Chen Guang explained very carefully, and at the same time, he sat opposite Chen Yong, and Yuan sat opposite Deng Pan.
Deng Pan is good at fighting, it's not that he really played in the Jin Palace's mansion like Chen Guang, but he just made up for it last night.
Mahjong is very simple and easy to play, and the rules are very simple. It is precisely because it is easy to learn that it has spread quickly in that world, and it is almost as popular as square dancing all over the world.
Chen Guang introduced while playing, but in just a quarter of an hour, he played two fights, and Chen Yong and Yuan's played decently.
In fact, the original mahjong tile rules were more complicated, and there were more cards. But what Chen Guang brought over is the most popular simplified version of the national standard, which is quite easy to play.
As time went by, Chen Yong and Yuan's became more and more interested. Then Chen Guang put forward the concept of color heads, and taught the two how to count points, and finally took out a few pieces of broken silver and put them on the table, saying: "Add a color head, it's more fun." ”
"Interesting, really interesting." Chen Yong had a smile on his face, and he didn't hesitate to bring some broken silver over.
Time passed quickly, two hours passed in a while, Chen Yong and Yuan's mahjong level had basically entered the room, and won more than a dozen taels of silver from Chen Guang's hands, although this amount was not worth mentioning, but it made them very happy.
After Chen Guang said goodbye and left, Chen Guang couldn't wait to call two maids to come and teach them to play mahjong.
