Chapter 440: Gambling
Emperor Jin kept things under control. This range is probably that Xie Yi will not directly lead troops to kill, and Xie Shence will not run to the northwest in anger.
The tacit cooperation of the Xie family made Emperor Jin very satisfied. Because the Xie family is currently only confined to the court, the local government has not reacted much to the reduction of the Northwest Army.
In order to repay the Xie family's "sensibility", there was a scene where Emperor Jin summoned Xie Shence.
Of course. The meaning of return is not to take a step back, but to ask for a little more - the Xie family to retreat a little and understand the court a little.
"And yet...... You want us to return without paying, not to mention how to punish the flies...... How can we cooperate? Xie Shence thought like this, and smiled at the official uniform of the martial arts hall in front of him.
The official uniform of the lecture hall is probably red, but just like the original doctor's uniform of the Imperial Academy, Xie Shence's official uniform of the lecture hall is still mainly black, with red threads woven in the black, which looks a little ...... Terror.
It's like black blood that has clotted.
With such a suffocating official uniform, the entire lecture hall is a set.
The time finally came slowly to November 21, and Nanshan was overcrowded. The large school field at the foot of the mountain has become a viewing platform, and at a glance it is all black heads. Although the cold winter wax moon is quite cold, people only wear earmuffs, stretch their necks one by one to watch, waiting for the start of the school ceremony.
Ti Cai had done a lot of work before, and the archers and killers occupied most of the favorable ambush places, watching the whole field vigilantly.
Even the people of Jindu rarely saw so many horsemen appear at the same timeβthere were times when they raided their homes and exterminated their clans, so they were a little afraid. The black mandarin duck suit and a long and short straight knife devour the sunlight in the cold winter day, becoming a night-like existence.
The order is very good, after all, the Kyoto Prefecture has also done a lot of work before, what to say to let the foreign barbarians and nephews see the demeanor of the people of Jindu - everyone is a good citizen and the like, but what really plays a role is the stones covered in black.
Xie Shence was talking to Yang Sanzao in the palace on the mountain, and Zhang Liang was accompanying him, nodding his head in agreement. Two and a half hundred old men nodded at a young man about twenty years old, and Yang Sanzao also took a bite of a student, which made the scene so strange.
However, there were only three people in the empty hall, so it was not restrained.
Yang Sanzao said: "In the past, there were many people who opposed the construction of public toilets in Kyoto. It's just that in the end, they couldn't defeat public opinion, so they compromised. However, these people do not have any public awareness, they are just forced to save face. β
"Those people from the Ministry of Works...... There is also the criminal department, which is boring. It's just a move to change the environment of Jindu, which has caused some people to speculate with ulterior motives...... They're all bad people. Xie Shence sighed.
It's just that in his sigh, Yang Sanzao and Zhang Liang didn't find much sadness...... So as the head of Kyoto Mansion who hugged Xie Shence's thigh, the two laughed very tacitly, and at the same time criticized Jindu for having too many bad people.
"However, it cannot be ruled out that some people have become wary, but for now, the situation in Kyoto is extremely complicated, and they ...... No one can guess what His Majesty is thinking, so some people are jealous, and it is not easy to act rashly. β
Xie Shence paused and continued: "The opening of the Martial Arts Hall is a big deal. His Majesty has been looking forward to the stars and the moon for many years, and a lot of blood has been shed during this period, so some people should know that at this time, Your Majesty's mood is the most important. So some people will also be silent. β
"However, there will be some people who will not settle down. Just like the riots that have just been reported...... It cannot be ruled out that some people have ulterior motives to test the reaction of my Ti Cavalry. β
Yang Sanzao said with a smile: "Lord Admiral's eyes brush your heart in front of the door...... Students think that they are really not able to do their best. β
Zhang Liang also agreed, and Xie Shence smiled: "No, no, no...... Whether to test it or not, in fact, it mainly depends on the difference in strength between the two sides, they think that I am not much stronger, or even out of disadvantage, so I will make this move. β
"And yet...... It's not like I'm not without the power to fight back. They think too simply. thinks that His Majesty will not allow anyone to make trouble at this time, so they can provoke and let us come out, and then be cleaned up by His Majesty...... It's stupid. β
Zhang Liang hesitated for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, can we make a scene for Your Majesty?"
Yang Sanzao smiled and said, "This method is feasible!"
Xie Shence lowered his head and thought carefully in his heart.
Yang Sanzao and Zhang Liang are actually looking forward to a counteroffensive.
In fact, at the time of the previous Huangbu incident, Kyoto Prefecture planned to launch a turmoil in the court, but at the most critical link, it was stuck by Xie Shence and used it to arrange a bigger conspiracy.
Although Xie Shence explained to the Kyoto Prefecture afterwards, it can be seen that the ultimate foothold of Yang Sanzao and Zhang Liang in accepting this matter lies in Xie Shence himself, not Xie Shence's starting point. They accepted it, but the psychology of acceptance was different from what Xie Shence thought.
Xie Shence understands that the substantive reason for letting them accept their own decisions is not the correctness of their own decisions, but their own authority.
Because you are thankful, because you are the commander of the Tiqis, you are right, not because you are right, we support it.
There is a difference - although they are equally obedient.
But after obedience, both of them had a fire in their hearts, which burned all the time.
As a leader, you must let them release their emotions and, at the very least, let them know why they are doing so.
Xie Shence said: "However, this is not an opportunity, according to the usual practice, Your Majesty will not allow anyone to make trouble for such a grand event, even if it is extenuating. So what we have to do is still hold on. β
"You may not understand Your Majesty's feelings. For us, this is just the difference between fighting and not fighting, but for Your Majesty, the meaning is unusual. β
"Not to mention that Your Majesty has to consider the face before the countries, that is, Your Majesty's influence in the country, we as courtiers must also consider it thoroughly."
Yang Sanzao and Yu Zhang Liang glanced at each other and did not speak.
Xie Shence looked at the two of them looking at each other, smiling, and waiting for the two quietly.
"But if we don't move, they can't think like us, adults, students really don't understand, why do they have to put up with it?"
Yang Sanzao said with a sad face.
Xie Shence smiled and said, "Actually, it's not. You must know that Zhao Hongtai and these people are actually just delicate diseases, and it is Your Majesty who really wants people to fear. If Your Majesty wants us to fight, we will fight, whether we want to fight or not. If Your Majesty doesn't want us to fight, we can't fight, and we must hold back no matter whether this is the right time to fight. β
Zhang Liang realized something and asked, "Does Lord Admiral mean to leave the mistakes to them to make?" β
Xie Shence clapped his hands and smiled: "That's right! We just have to be the same! Now that His Majesty is concerned about the lecture martial arts, then we must let the lecture martial arts hall go smoothly and leave no regrets! Your Majesty doesn't want us to go to war at this time, so we won't fight, at least we won't. β
"Do you understand?"
Yang Sanzao said: "However, since we can't move, why can't we take advantage of the situation and let them make mistakes, so that we can take the opportunity to make profits?" It's not our fault anyway. β
Xie Shence shook his head and said, "Lord Yang, you are wrong."
"You say, does Your Majesty like a famous minister or a foolish loyalty?"
"This" Yang Sanzao was speechless.
Zhang Liang weighed it for a long time and said: "It's foolish loyalty!" β
Xie Shence nodded.
"Then, why is the famous minister bad?" Yang Sanzao didn't understand.
Xie Shence said: "The reason why famous ministers are famous ministers is because their names are left in the history books. And the emperor, as a king, is often just a foil. As for what is said in the history books, can Ming Jun and Liangchen believe it? β
"The emperor will not let the light of a courtier overshadow him, even if the courtier can help him solve many things, but there are times, many times, the emperor has always hoped that he is the only protagonist of history."
"So in this case, the emperor often likes people who blindly support him, and opposes those who speak out."
After Xie Shence said this, he thought of the Tang Sect of that world. What needs to be said about the fate of Wei Zheng's mirror?
Yang Sanzao has all the understanding.
Xie Shence said: "Therefore, the person who can seize the opportunity is a capable minister, a person who can be the emperor wholeheartedly, a famous minister, and a person who can blindly worship is a foolish and loyal minister." β
The former, in the eyes of the emperor, was a dead man - it was just a matter of when. The second way to be honest, when has there ever been a shortage of such people? As for the third type, it is the person that the emperor hates the most on the surface, but actually likes the most. β
"Why? No one doesn't love someone who 'supports' them all the time! β
"We don't make trouble for His Majesty when he is happy, although we are not foolish, but at least we have done it according to his wishes, just this point, Your Majesty will look at us a lot."
Yang Sanzao said: "So, Zhao Hongtai and they are the ones who think they are capable of ministers? β
"Exactly!" Xie Shence laughed, so Yang Sanzao laughed with Zhang Liang, and there was unbridled laughter in the hall.
In a large hall at the highest point of Zhongnan Mountain, Emperor Jin was wearing a black and gold dragon robe, looked at the armor in front of him, and let out a sigh: "Old man, there is still no chance for people to know you."
Stroking the pheasant's tail, Emperor Jin sighed softly: "I want you to appear in front of people's eyes again, so that everyone knows that you and I have fought side by side, you have been injured for me, and I have cherished your life." β
The queen mother walked out from behind Emperor Jin and said with a smile: "Your Majesty still likes to talk to yourself so much"
Emperor Jin glared at him and said angrily: "Who said that? I knew that someone was eavesdropping, so I said it, otherwise, wouldn't I have to hold these words in my heart? β
The queen said: "Since you like it, Your Majesty will wear it out!" Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, what scruples do you have?"
Emperor Jin raised his head and laughed, then shook his head and said, "It is indeed a scruple!" β
"If you don't say it, you will feel bored. However, once it is said, it will make some people frightened, many people are afraid that I will really cut the Northwest Army, and they are all afraid of what the Xie family will do if they can't control it, but few people are afraid of what to do if I am angry. β
"Isn't that a contradiction?"
The queen shook her head, and the phoenix wings intersected with the gold and jade, and there were many sounds.
"There may be a fight between the courtiers, but the whole world belongs to Your Majesty, so why should Your Majesty be afraid?"
"Am I afraid?"
Emperor Jin said loudly: "I just think that Xing, the people are suffering, and the people are suffering, and the people are suffering, and that's it." There is nothing to be afraid ofβit's just that if I don't do a good job, many people will suffer. And among these people, there will be many people who really cherish me. So I can't bear it. β
"Comparing the heart to the heart is the heart of the Buddha, Your Majesty is benevolent." The queen mother used a silk handkerchief to wipe the Fang Tian painting halberd carefully.
Emperor Jin smiled: "It's just that in some people's hearts, I may not be a bodhisattva. β
"That's because they don't understand that thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en."
Emperor Jin laughed, then took out the Fang Tian painting halberd on the shelf, used the queen mother in his arms, leveled the halberd forward, and said: "I am very fortunate to have Qing like this!" β
The queen mother was in the arms of Emperor Jin, blushing like a girl.
The assembly of the martial arts hall was held in accordance with the ceremony of the Tai Academy, but there was an additional link of on-the-spot martial arts competition.
And this "just" is the most crazy thing for the people of Jindu.
There are a total of 100 students in the inner hall, plus 300 in the outer hall, and only 123 of the 400 people participated in the martial arts test.
However, even this has aroused the excitement of a large number of people.
Casino markets, private bets, public bets, and so on, started as early as ten days ago.
Xie Shence naturally will not let go of this opportunity to make money.
In fact, at this time, three of the six major gambling houses in Zhongnan Mountain were Xie Shence's industries.
A large number of calculations in the early stage can ensure that the three major gambling houses, no matter who wins or who wins the championship, will maintain profits.
This is naturally a credit to Xie Shence.
The full effect of modern probability and statistics allows Xie Shence to know how much money he will win before the game begins.
130,000 taels is amazing, isn't it?
This just excludes the possibility of Xie Shence cheating.
There are so many protΓ©gΓ©s of the Xie family, it is really not difficult to find a few martial arts seedlings, and if you want to let some people who are enough to rank in the top 20 participate in the martial arts test, then Xie Shence is basically a sure loser, and when more people are mixed, the victory or defeat will be difficult to say, so Xie Shence's victory will be hidden.
Well, the news that blinded the people of Jindu and deceived the students of the martial arts hall was sent by Xie Shence.
This news is that Miss Li will choose her own wishful husband in the martial arts test!
That's big news!
The people of Jindu were boiling before - Miss Li, that is General Li's favorite daughter, although she is twenty years old, but General Li still did not urge her to marry, is it just to wait for this moment?
I only hate that I couldn't participate in the martial arts hall. Otherwise, you will definitely win a young lady general back!
It's just that unlike what most people come into contact with, the academies of the martial arts hall have their own ability to discriminate.
Marrying Miss Li?
Hmph, who is so desperate?
The lion roars in Hedong!
However, if it is the first beauty of Dajin like Wang Jiehua, forget it, what is the matter with the tigress of Miss Li?
So many people are "shameful" to retreat.
Even General Mo Xiao, who has always been respectful to Miss Li, is deterred.
The Mo brothers are not stupid, although Li Qiqi is also very beautiful, everything is good except for his temper, but if he wants to say that he likes it, it is absolutely impossible to marry.
What's more, it's still a lot of money.
So there were only one hundred and twenty-three people who dared to sign up.
This matter reached the ears of Miss Li Qiqi, and there were several earthquakes in the General's Mansion.
Li Qiqi didn't know that this news was sent from the Weihou Mansion, otherwise she would definitely use a straight knife to find Xie Shence desperately.
It hurts a girl's self-esteem too much.
The 123 people took the stage one by one, and the officials introduced their origins, and for each person who was named, there was bound to be a grand applause and cheer from the audience, and these people whose names were sung would wave their hands in salute.
However, it is impossible for more than 100 people to keep the people enthusiastic all the time - Kyoto Prefecture does not distribute broth, and who will go if the voice is hoarse?
So in the back dozens of people, there were about fifty or sixty people who only received sparse applause.
The martial arts students on the stage also knew that it was someone their family paid to hire.
The order of taking the stage is exquisite, and Dou Liang, as the representative of the Huai Army, was arranged to appear in the top ten, and basically won the best cheers in the game.
Of course, this cannot be completely spontaneous by the people of Jindu, and there is naturally an arrangement of thanking Shence.
Dou Liang himself didn't know that in Jindu, where he was completely unfamiliar with life, there would be so many people cheering for him - he just regarded it as the hospitality of the people of Jindu.
However, some time ago, I didn't see anything like this. Dou Liang thought so.
The format is a simple qualifier, with basic freedoms except that it cannot cause death.
A student from Shandong Province and a student from Hubei Province took the lead in the battle as the opening, although it was not fierce, but it also attracted a lot of applause. And as the battle continued, the competition on the four big platforms gradually became fierce, so it gradually became bloody. Gradually, some people fainted.
Some people faint because they are overexcited, some people are angry because they have lost too much, and others are so happy that they win a lot of money.
Xie Shence placed a few bets at random, and then won some money. Surprisingly, Xie Shence almost always pressed those who looked like he was going to lose, and each time he was able to win the final victory.
After a few such times, some officials who were close to them gradually discovered the pattern, and then followed the bets, and after winning a few times, even if Xie Shence no longer participated, they could judge for themselves. And so it won quite a bit.
Unbelieving officials insisted on their judgment and lost game after game.
Zhao Xu watched coldly, trying to find out the law of Xie Shence's secret arrangement, and expose Xie Shence's tricks in public, making him discredited.
He lost a lot of money and held his breath in his heart
