Yao Deguang walked over quickly and whispered beside his father. His voice was small, and although Liu Yan was close, he could only hear the fragmentary sentences of "only two thousand taels" and "the person in charge didn't hold it".

Liu Yan pondered that it might be a serious matter, so he didn't move forward, and of course he didn't take the initiative to inquire.

She didn't ask, but the emperor took the initiative to tell her: "Someone is betting on today's contest again." ”

Liu Yan didn't know what to say.

It's not the same as last time.

The last time someone made a bet on her colt candidates, they might have come from different backgrounds, and maybe even the peddler's pawn on the street would take five or ten dollars to make a bet.

But this time it's different, there are only so many people you can see in today's competition, and the candidates for the competition have been changing, some people are up, some people are down, those who sit in the bank, those who bet, will definitely only be the people who are in the paddock today, well, it may be these people who are sitting on the sidelines watching the competition today.

None of them are ordinary people, most of them are clan relatives and nobles, high-ranking families-

Not only do they see this competition as a cockfight-like fun, but they also bet on winning or losing when the money has nowhere to throw it.

"Did my father have them copied them?"

"Got a few minions." The emperor smiled and said, "I don't know if they are too powerful, or the people of the inner guard are too useless." ”

What's this......

Liu Yan saw that although his father was laughing, he was actually not in a good mood.

The person who set up the bureau must have a high status, Liu Yan felt that it was her uncle who did it. Well, King Qin loves money very much, and when he is not a prince, he will make money and save money. However, he is more cautious, and he should not do such a thing as sitting in the bank and gambling.

However, another Wang Shuxuan Wang, Liu Yan felt that he was very suspicious. There are five brothers in the father, the eldest uncle and the second uncle are gone early, King Xuan is the youngest one, and Liu Yan said that King Xuan is to let his grandfather and grandmother spoil him, it is said that he was favored when he was a child, and he ate all the delicious food, and what work was done by his brothers and sisters. King Xuan has grown up like this, what the whole person can't do, what he can't eat, even to his sister-in-law, he jumps his feet and scolds people, and the foul language is endless.

Yes, this scolded sister-in-law is Queen Cao.

However, after he scolded once, he was beaten by the uncle of the Cao family, who was not Chengenhou at the time.

There are a lot of brothers in the Cao family, all of them stand up and are tall and big, just King Xuan's chicken-like little body, and he really can't bear Uncle Cao's fist.

After becoming the prince, King Xuan is more able to toss than before, and today, even if he doesn't sit in the village, he must have bet in it, Liu Yan is very sure.

Since the prince is involved, it is inevitable that the father will not be able to do this.

As for those guards, they didn't pop out of the cracks in the stones, even if they were not involved with these people who wanted to be confiscated, they must have fears and scruples, and of course this thing was not smooth.

Liu Yanke listened to what his mother said, his father was holding back his strength to clean up these clan relatives and nobles, the more troublesome they are now, the worse they will be cleaned up when the general account is calculated.

There was another drum sound in the next field, and Liu Yan changed the topic with a smile: "Father, look, the third brother is on the field." I don't know if the third brother can come out on top today, if he can really win the championship, his father will also have a light on his face. ”

The emperor only said: "He can win so far only with brute strength, and it is okay to meet ordinary opponents, and I am afraid that there is no hope of winning the championship." ”

Liu Yan pulled his sleeve and shook it a few times: "Father, why are you like this, you can destroy your own prestige by growing others' morale, I think the third brother is quite mighty, and there is great hope for winning the championship." ”

The emperor smiled: "Well, you are so optimistic about your third brother, and I haven't seen you cheer him on." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yan is indeed a little weak-hearted.

In normal times, Liu Yan will definitely spare no effort to support the third brother, but from yesterday to today, there have been accidents one after another, and she really can't take care of the third brother's side.

There are also many young girls watching the competition in the paddock today, some of them are bold, and they also throw handkerchiefs and silk flower purses into the field. Every spring, when the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, there will always be a few happy events in Beijing, sometimes a dozen, dozens of them.

In the afternoon, there were almost all people who were still standing on the field throwing sachets and handkerchiefs at them - to be able to stay until now, that is definitely a real skill.

But...... Liu Yan saw that there seemed to be fewer people on the sidelines.

King Xuan was still watching from the sidelines in the morning, and his place was empty after lunch.

It's not just King Xuan who is missing, as far as Liu Yan saw, well, the second emperor brother is also gone?

I remember that when I was hunting a few years ago, the second emperor brother also showed his skills in the field, although he did not win the championship, but at least the prince's dignity was not lost. But now he is different from the past, the flesh on his body is loose, he is out of breath when he runs on a horse, and the fists, feet, and swords he practiced in his early years are estimated to have been returned to the master a long time ago. Liu Yan hadn't seen him for a while, and he was startled at first glance-

She almost didn't recognize the person in front of her as her own brother.

In the words of Li Shanggong, the second prince may have been strictly controlled when he was not married before, and this marriage opened the house, and suddenly he was like a wild horse that went to the halter, with no taboos, all kinds of enjoyment, and all kinds of indulgences.

Li Shanggong still has nothing to say.

It is not easy for people to learn well, but it is so easy to learn badly, and many bad habits can be learned in just three or five days. Wine and wealth, flattering and touting, young people have not gone through these battles, aren't they fluttering and forgetful? Not to mention......

Like the second prince, even if he doesn't do anything in his life, doesn't study, and doesn't practice martial arts, but he is the son of the emperor, and if he doesn't become a weapon, there will always be a prince to be in the future, and he will not enjoy the glory and wealth for a lifetime, so why should he force himself to endure hardships and be burdened?

In a farther place, Liu Yan couldn't see clearly, but compared to the morning, there were many people missing from the sidelines of the martial arts competition.

Maybe these people are tired and don't think it's interesting to sit here, so they don't come here in the afternoon.

However, Liu Yan felt that it might be related to what his father said at noon.

Among those who are absent and do not come, there may be people who sit in the bank to gamble or bet for fun.

I just don't know what my father plans to do with them.

This sin is not a big one, if the father is unwilling to investigate deeply, then a reprimand, and the punishment may be over. But Liu Yan felt that since his father asked people to investigate this matter, he would not let it go lightly.

Liu Yan was stunned for a while, and Gui Yuan reminded softly beside him: "Princess, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has won another game." ”

Liu Yan nodded.

Hmm, if the third brother draws a game with Lu Yi and Tian Lin, then which of them will lose and who will win?

This is not her crankiness, now that almost half of the people on the field have been eliminated, and there are fewer and fewer people left, the third brother will always meet sooner or later.
