Chapter 34 Chongzhen Weifu's Private Visit to Zhongzhou (3)
Fu Wangfu.
The bloated and fat King Fu moved his body and asked Zhao Si, who had a blue nose and swollen face beside him.
"Can you see clearly, they are really salt merchants from Yangzhou?"
Zhao Si said with a bitter face, "Your Highness, the person who spoke did look like someone over there listening to the accent. But I can't pack a ticket. ”
King Fu pondered for a while, and then asked, "You said that you played the leaf card until dawn that night, and later called breakfast to the Peony Building?" ”
"Called, and invited me to drink a bowl of spicy soup."
"Who cares what you eat, do they eat spicy soup too?"
"No, they're eating pancakes."
"Is the pancake filled with meat or eggs?"
"No, they're thin."
King Fu slapped his thigh, "I see, they are from Tianjin, and they are the servants of Marquis Wuqing." ”
"Marquis Wu Qing? The family of the Empress Dowager Li (the mother of Shenzong), what are you doing in Luoyang? ”
"Hmph, it must be eyeing the salt selling privilege in my hand." King Fu picked up a piece of dim sum and chewed it vigorously.
It is said that the current Marquis of Wu Qing is fighting with his brother for family property. Seeing that he couldn't fight, his brother told the current saint that the old marquis had left 400,000 taels of silver before he died, and he was willing to take it all out as a military salary. ”
"We didn't take it seriously at first, but then Jiannu entered the fortress, and the military salary was not enough, so he went to borrow it from the current Marquis of Wuqing. Who knows that Wu Qinghou doesn't know whether he doesn't want to give it, or if he really doesn't, in short, he didn't take out the money. ”
Zhao Si was puzzled, "Then how could they find you again?" ”
King Fu sneered, "Today, who doesn't know that the person my father loved the most back then was me, and they all thought that I was the richest man in the world. ”
"Even our saint made up the nonsense that his father gave him a dream, trying to trick me into going to Beijing, and then let me help him pay, so that he can sit firmly in the world."
Zhao Si hesitated, "But in this world, isn't there also a share of yours?" Even if you pay some money..."
King Fu said angrily, "What do you know, this world was originally all mine!" If not..."
Realizing that there were some things that Zhao Si couldn't say, King Fu calmed down again, picked up another piece of snack and swallowed it.
"They made up this set of nonsense about salt merchants and card games, and they took great pains, that is, they knew that I liked the leaf card the most, and set a trap for me to drill, and wanted me to lose the salt tax privilege, so wouldn't the saint have to borrow 400,000 yuan?"
Zhao Si suddenly said, "Since it's a trap, we don't have to go." The little ones are nested in your palace, and they don't dare to come to the door. ”
"No, I'm going!" King Fu picked up two more pieces of dim sum and sent them directly to his mouth. "Marquis Wuqing, as the family of the emperor's grandmother, has been operating for many years, and his power is intertwined, and even the descendants of the saint have married them."
"They underestimated my self-control. I will lose to them at most twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver. When the time comes, we will reveal their identities, let them blow the pillow wind through the queen, and let the saint stop embarrassing us uncles. ”
Zhao Si exclaimed, "Your Highness is really wise. ”
King Fu was triumphant, swallowed the last three pieces of dim sum, and chewed it.
"You go wash yourself first, after dinner tonight, we will go to the Peony Building and meet them."
In the brightly lit guest room of the Peony Building, King Fu and Zhao Si sat opposite each other, and Chongzhen sat opposite Li Ruolian.
Unlike the other three vassal kings who waited for the court to divide the field and relied on Chongzhen's accession to the throne, King Fu was driven to Luoyang very early, so when he saw Chongzhen, he just felt that this person was a little kind, but he didn't know his identity.
Li Ruolian took out a silver ingot, "Since Zhao Si said that you are a high-roller who is not bad for silver, then we will come to the bureau of twenty taels and one ingots this time." Can it be made or not? ”
King Fu's eyelids jumped, even though he has been obsessed with leaf cards for nearly 30 years, he has experienced strong winds and waves, and he rarely sees such a large base card game.
In the game of three taels and one ingot, it takes one night to lose tens of thousands of taels of silver. It may only take half an hour to lose 10,000 taels in a game of 201 taels.
However, the adrenaline secretion caused by the high bet also made Fu Wang feel a thrill that he had not experienced for a long time.
"Good! But we don't play the Water Margin leaf cards, we play this set of naturalist leaf cards I brought, and the rules have to add something. Do you dare to play? ”
Chongzhen and Li Ruolian looked at each other, and had to listen to King Fu explain the rules.
The basic rules of this naturalist leaf card are the same as those of the Water Margin leaf card, which is still to suppress the opponent with a higher hand type, and the first player to finish the card wins.
The two people sitting opposite each other are a team, and the number of promotions after the final victory is calculated by the comprehensive ranking of the two, the first game plus two games to upgrade to three levels, the first game plus three games to upgrade two levels, and the first game to the last game to upgrade one level, until the main card in each game rises from the lowest level of "copper basin" to the highest number of treasures "heirloom jade seal".
The loser of each hand has to place their bets in the prize pool, but the player who can take all the bets in the end must have raised his main card to the "Jade Seal" and won the first and second game rankings.
If you fail to win three times in a row in the "Jade Seal of the Country" stage, you will have to return to the "copper basin".
Chongzhen listened to the music, isn't this the egg he often beat in Nanjing in later generations?
motioned to Li Ruolian, and quickly agreed to communicate with them.
Four hours later.
The prize pool next to the feet of the four has been piled up to more than 200,000 taels of silver.
Everyone's hands trembled involuntarily when they touched the cards.
Chongzhen's breathing was a little heavy.
Although his and Li Ruolian's card skills are higher than the combination of Fu Wang, his card luck tonight is really a little bad.
However, the naturalist leaf card is a combination of luck and skill, and under the tenacious struggle of himself and Li Ruolian, he beat the Fu King and them back from the "jade seal of the country" back to the copper basin three times in a row.
This is also the second time that Chongzhen and Li Ruolian hit the "Jade Seal of the Country" and started a sprint.
After touching the cards, Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at Li Ruolian, the other party also nodded slightly.
On the other side, King Fu was a little flustered after touching the cards and looked at Zhao Si.
Zhao Si's face was pale, his head was covered with coarse sweat, and he shook his head vigorously.
It's bad, King Fu's face is cloudy.
I wanted to win it happily, and then I didn't take a penny, and symbolically gave the other party 20,000 taels of silver, turning the war into a jade silk.
I didn't expect the opponent's card skills to be so exquisite, the fighting spirit is so tenacious, and such a bad card can also pull himself back to the "copper basin" three times.
Obviously, at this sprint, the opponent's luck is back.
It doesn't matter if you give the other party 20,000 taels of silver, but the upside down 200,000 taels makes King Fu a little painful.
To put it bluntly, isn't it good to take this money directly to honor the emperor and show loyalty?
"No more fighting!" King Fu threw the cards in his hand into the ground. "You're out of thousands!"
"What tricks are you playing? Do you know who I am? ”
Li Ruolian pretended to be angry and stood up and said.
King Fu said coldly, "I would like to hear about it." ”
Li Ruolian said, "I am from the Marquis of Wuqing's mansion." Even today's saints have to call our master uncle! ”
King Fu sneered, "Then do you know who I am?" ”
"I am the blessed king of this Luoyang City, and when the saint sees me today, he has to call me Uncle Huang!"
Li Ruolian first pretended to be overwhelmed, and then pretended to continue to be hard-mouthed. "You are the blessed king whose father doesn't love his mother? The other vassal kings only came out of Beijing until they ascended the throne to the Holy Lord, but you were sent to Zhongzhou by the emperor early in the morning. ”
"Our Li family is married to the Zhou family of the current queen, can we still be afraid that you will not succeed?"
When King Fu heard this, he was completely angry. I just offended the Li family, and I can't let these people go out of Luoyang today.
"Your Li family and Zhou family are just slaves and servants, and you dare to ride on the head of our Zhu family?"
"I am the favorite son of my father and mother, if it weren't for the Donglin Party who suffered a thousand knives, I would be the saint today!"
Hearing this, Chongzhen said slowly.
"Do you know who I am?"
King Fu was angry, "No matter who you are, if you anger this king, don't want to get out alive." ”
"Oh, that's right." Chongzhen said unhurriedly.
"But I'm the saint today, Uncle Huang~"
