Chapter 76: Deeds Determine Destiny
Li Siye was also surprised. He didn't expect the prince to react so much. Just as he was about to think about how to persuade him, Li Ying suddenly asked again: "If I cheat, how much money can I win?"
Can you not breathe so much when you speak?
"At least five million."
"Five million?" Li Ying reached out and pulled his beard and hesitated. Li Siye was waiting patiently. As long as the prince agreed, he immediately went to place a large bet.
"No," Li Ying shook her head: "I can't listen to you in this matter. This is the final between me and Shouwang, and I must never lose!"
Li Siye continued to induce, "Your Highness, it's just a win or loss, it's not that important. There are more opportunities to win back in the future."
"You said it nicely." Li Ying pointed to the prince present and the people of Chang'an in the distance and said, "How can I lose in front of so many people? If Gu loses, where will I put my face? Li Siye, don't persuade him again. As long as I fight against King Shou, I will not lose to him once!"
Li Siye couldn't say what he had thought of. He knew very well that if he persuaded him again, he would make the prince unhappy.
He had to cross his hands and said, "Then, I will take my leave."
Li Ying waved his hand: "You have worked hard these days and made great contributions. Keep the money you won and lost by yourself. Li Siye, you must know, how can the mere money be compared with the joy brought by victory in my eyes?"
On the way back outside the court, Li Siye thought silently for a long time. Prince Li Ying had some psychological problems. For a long time, he had always been at a disadvantage in the party of Wu Huifei, so he placed his suppressed air on the court, believing that playing polo is better than King Shou and could give him some psychological advantages. But don’t he understand? His real enemy is not King Shou at all, but Concubine Wu Huifei and Yang Hui, and Li Linfu, who will take over the position of the Tang Dynasty in a few months.
He doesn't believe that character determines destiny, but he believes that behavior determines destiny. Li Ying acts too high-profile and arrogant, and even when encountering setbacks, she will not restrain her sharpness. This is not a big problem, but he is Li Longji. You are showing off under Li Longji's nose. Isn't this arrogance?
It seems that the prince's ship is about to be unable to stay there. He has to find a way out for himself. Even if he can't find a way out, he cannot follow the prince to show off. He must hide himself quietly, so as not to take him over when the boat capsizes in the future.
King Zhong Li Heng is still good, he is a real potential stock. If you devote yourself to his disciples, you can win the end with caution.
Li Siye returned to the betting point and did not bet any more money in this game. They won 200,000 yuan from the wealthy businessmen through several bets, and then quietly divided the money they won with Liu Ziwu, Tengmu and several other Qianniu through the investment ratio.
Li Siye invested the most, earning a large sum of 90,000 yuan, and Liu Ziwu and others shared the remaining money, one to twenty thousand yuan each.
The inner-level thousand-nine people were extremely excited. They had never dared to imagine that they could get such huge profits in the polo game. Standing on the polo field, the crowded heads of the Central Plains merchants were not their heads in their eyes, but simply gold ingots! If such an open event could be held several times, why worry about their wealth?
At the end of the game, the Prince's team won the final championship. The winner had neither a trophy nor a gold medal, but only a huge psychological satisfaction. Li Ying thought that this time he was a win-win situation. He won both money and reputation, and paid off all the money he owed to Taifu Temple, which can be said to be a light debt.
The greater satisfaction in his heart was that the Shou King, Yang Hui and others present, who were probably beaten to death, would never have thought that he had paid off the money from Taifu Temple, which he obtained from this game. Every prince and brother of his has contributed to his plan to make money.
If King Shou, Yang Hui and Concubine Wu Hui knew the truth, they still didn't know how angry they were. Their angry looks turned into his mind, and it would be so exciting that they felt home after thinking about it.
The first person who knew the truth was not King Shou and Prince Yang Hui, but King Zhong Li Heng. Yesterday, he just said something casually to Li Fuguo and did not take this matter to heart. After returning to the palace, he found that Li Fuguo did not come back, and he did not take it seriously.
But the next morning, he was drinking tea in the palace of the royal palace and copying scriptures. Li Fuguo suddenly came back from outside, stood in the hall with a smile, and whispered his hands to report: "Your Highness, yesterday you asked me to inquire about the person you asked me to inquire about, I found out."
Li Heng asked in surprise: "What do you want to know?"
"Your Highness is really a noble person who forgets things. Just that, the one who is very interested in, maintains order in the polo game."
Li Heng then smiled relaxedly: "I really forgot if you don't say it. I'm just a prince's entourage, so there's no need to pay more attention."
Li Fuguo lowered his head mysteriously and smiled, stepped forward and walked closer to him and whispered: "Fortunately, I have been more careful and asked, but I didn't expect that I would find out unexpectedly!"
"Oh?" Li Heng stopped the pen and ink in his hand, looked up and asked with interest: "What unexpected discovery?"
"Your Highness knows that the prince owed a lot of money to Taifu Temple before, and was secretly sued by his son-in-law Yang Hui. His Majesty issued an order to ask the Minister of Revenue to investigate the treasury of Taifu Temple?"
Li Heng smiled calmly: "I know this. The prince really owes money from Taifu Temple. However, I saw that the prince looked calm these two days and was also relaxed and proud when racing horses. I thought he was just bluffing."
"Well, the bluff, the prince can't act." Li Fuguo whispered: "He has already obtained the money to return Taifu Temple, and I probably have paid off all the accounts."
Li Heng asked in surprise: "Where did he find so much money?"
"Your Highness, this has something to do with the person you are asking about. This person is Li Siye. He once presented His Majesty with a thousand-year-old cold skin recipe and received a reward to enter the Eastern Palace to serve as the internal leader. When the prince was at a loss, he offered a plan, and on the surface he invited the people of Chang'an to watch the Royal Polo Championship, demonstrating the kindness of having fun with the people, but in fact he sold all the invitation posts in the form of selling tickets. In just one day, he raised millions of dollars in debt!"
"Can you still do this?" Li Heng was surprised and thought about it carefully before he exclaimed: "This man is a talented man! Although earning money is a trick, he is well versed in people's hearts and seeks possibilities from the impossible. The prince's owed money is an unsolvable problem, and he solved it so cleverly in his hands!"
