Chapter 198 [Datang monarchs and ministers, gathering people to gamble for money]

"King Zhao said it well!"

Li Daoyan laughed and nodded, "The geese plucked the hair, and the hair of the foreign envoy. Although this guy received filial piety, he immediately turned his back and stabbed him after he collected it. Don't look at him as if he was talking to Kucha just now, but in fact, everything this guy said was slander!"

Li Yun felt aroused when he heard this and said thoughtfully: "He deliberately said that he wanted to reduce taxes and get taxes, and then let others stand up and refute him. In this way, everyone knows the importance of tariffs..."

Li Daoyan nodded slowly and taught earnestly: "So this is the court. Don't just look at the surface of the minister's words. Sometimes they look like a treacherous minister, and they are all the interests of the Tang Dynasty. King Zhao, you are still young, and you will learn in the court in the future!"

Li Yun understood that this was someone who was teaching him, and he couldn't help but feel kind to this royal uncle.

At this time, Li Shimin spoke slowly and asked leisurely: "If the Kucha mission wants to reduce taxes, he still has to take the music competition in the lower garden in Baqiao. I only have one requirement for this matter: Don't even think about tax cuts, and the music cannot be lost. My dear friends, what are your good plans?"

The ministers in the court immediately started to talk, and the entire hall was filled with buzzing sounds.

Li Zhi admired Li Yun very much. The little guy suddenly grabbed the big brother's hand, raised his head and asked, "Brother, do you have any solutions?"

No one wants to disappoint him if he sees that child's desire.

Li Yun smiled and bent down, half-squatted and touched his little head, and joked: "What if I can't do it?"

Li Zhi shook his head vigorously and said in a sweet tone: "You are the King of Zhao in the Western Palace, you must have a solution. My mother has to tell me once a day. There is nothing in the world that my elder brother can't do."

"Hahaha!"

Li Yunchanghuai laughed and rubbed Li Zhi's little head hard. At this time, the ministers present were laughed by Li Zhi. Fang Xuanling stroked his long beard and joked: "The king of Jin is innocent and full of confidence in King Zhao at that time. Unfortunately, even a natural saint cannot be good at everything in the world. The music matter is actually a small way. Unless it is a family of Zhongming and Ding Food, there will be leisure and elegant study. King Zhao has been wandering among the people since he was a child, and he is afraid that he will not be good at music."

Li Zhi was frustrated when he heard this, and seemed very sad that his elder brother could not do anything.

Seeing his disappointed look, Li Yun couldn't help but rub the little guy's head again. Then he slowly turned to look at Fang Xuanling and smiled: "What Fang Xiang said just now, I agree very much. Even if I am born a saint, I can't be good at everything in time. However, I don't want to disappoint my brother..."

This made Fang Xuanling slightly stunned and said in a little puzzled manner: "What does your Highness mean?"

Li Yun smiled leisurely and said lightly: "Kucha music is famous in the world. It is said that my folk musicians in the Tang Dynasty have competed with them many times, and they were beaten to a big loss every time. I am the King of Zhao of the Western Palace, and the King of Zhao of the Western Palace represents invincibility. Since I know this, the Tang Dynasty cannot lose this time."

As he said that, he bent down and picked up Li Zhi, and raised him aloud to the little guy first. Amid the little guy's excited laugh, Li Yun's voice sounded at the same time, saying: "I am preparing to make a musical instrument that has the ability to suppress all the instruments from ancient times to the present. I am happy to blow, making people feel unhappy in the bridal night, making people feel soft and twisted, the rhythm is full of omnipotence, and ticks can celebrate the full moon of the child, and the old man's head seven. As long as this instrument appears, the Kucha musician can only admit defeat..."

"How is this possible?"

As Li Yun finished speaking, several sounds of doubt had sounded in the hall. Ancient literati knew a lot. They were not only proficient in poetry, songs, but also good at music.

But when a minister stood up slowly, bowed to Li Yun, he said, "What Your Highness said just now is quite boasting. According to what I know, there is no musical instrument in the world that can suppress everything. Music is the sound of nature. Each instrument can only express one tune!"

As he said that, he stopped, as if he wanted to teach Li Yun common sense, and said, "For example, the guzheng is melodious and elegant, such as the huqin, the tune is rough, or the flute, or the flute, one is flexible and flexible, the other is like crying and complaining, and there is also a pipa and pleasant ears, and the Turks have a horse-headed qin that refreshes the heart..."

He wanted to say something else, but Li Yun was already laughing and suddenly spoke up and bet with him: "Let's wait and see if I can make such an instrument."

"good!"

The minister nodded without hesitation and said, "If Your Highness can really succeed, I am willing to worship under your door, not only to offer the six rituals, but also to bow and kneel down, and from then on treat him as a teacher and bow to him in the morning every day."

Li Yun was stunned and looked at the other person in shock.

This minister must be at least fifty years old, and his beard is full of old men. If he dares to be his disciple, he will not dare to accept it even if he dares to be his own.

But Li Shimin was actually very interested and suddenly expressed his support: "King Zhao and his ministers made a bet, no matter success or failure, it is a great story. I want to open a handicap. My dear friends do not gamble..."

Good guy!

The emperor opened the market and directly engaged in the periphery. If this matter was spread, it would be a big shock to the point. However, the ministers present were very excited. Hulala and a group of people stood up to express their participation.

For example, this guy, Lao Cheng has been very bulging in his pocket in recent years. Lao Cheng laughed first and said proudly: "Your Majesty is going to bet, but this matter hasn't been done for a long time. Come on, I, Lao Cheng, will pay 50,000 yuan first. I bet that King Zhao will lose to Li Jinglong this time."

Old Cheng has always been smart, but this time he did not choose Li Yun. After all, Li Yun impressed everyone too much, and most people know that he has been wandering among the people since he was a child.

In ancient times, there were only two types of musicians who were engaged in music. They were either musicians specially trained since childhood, or scholars from major families. Musicians used musicians to make a living, and scholars from aristocratic families were just idle and had nothing to do.

Li Yun did not take any of these two situations, so Lao Cheng would place a bet and he lost.

It took 50,000 guan at one move, which shows that the Cheng family is really rich. Just two years ago, if they want to get 5,000 guan, they have to grit their teeth.

Li Shimin nodded with a strange smile on his face and said, "Cheng Zhijie admitted to betting 50,000 yuan. I have recorded this bet. Who else do you have to bet? You might as well tell us the bet."

"I bet too!"

Another Duke stood up, which was Liu Hongji, a famous gambler in the Tang Dynasty. Although this guy was named Duke Kui, he was a street gangster in his early years. He loved gambling the most in his life and almost didn't like it.

This guy is also very powerful. He also had a bet of 50,000 guan when he opened his mouth. After thinking about it, he felt that it was not very satisfying, so he gritted his teeth and added another 25,000 guan.

After the increase, he looked proud, fearing that others would not know that their family had money, and laughed: "Since I subscribed to the salt industry share, I have been making money by lying down in the past two years. Money comes like a mountain collapse and a tsunami, but spending money is like a child peeing. Oh, there is no way, I am too rich, and I can't spend it all. Your Majesty must save me. You will win all of these 75,000 guan."

Li Shimin asked slowly and said happily: "Who will win if you bet on?"

"Of course it's King Zhao..."

As soon as he said this, he suddenly found that Lao Cheng was winking at him. The guy was stunned and changed his mind before he knew it, and said, "Of course, it was a bet that King Zhao lost. How could King Zhao compare to Li Jinglong? Old Man Li is a famous music master in the Tang Dynasty. His Majesty opened the market and gave money to the ministers."

Li Shimin laughed twice, and a private eunuch on the edge of the court ordered: "Give me a note to Duke Kui, and bet on 75,000 knots of bet on King Zhao."

The eunuch had already prepared paper and pen, and he heard this and quickly began to record everyone's bets.

In the following time, the entire court directly started betting, and countless ministers participated enthusiastically. The money was not less than 10,000, but basically all bets were Li Yun who would lose, and very few could win.

In the end, it was even more one-sided. Cheng Chumo and others couldn't stand it. The five apprentices were indignant and each voted for 5,000 jin. Even if their master would lose, they would still have to accompany the master to lose.

Due to the large difference in betting, the odds gap between Li Yun and his opponent is also very large. Although the five apprentices only invested 5,000 guan, it would not be a small amount if they win. It would be better to double ten times, and even win more than 100,000 guan.

There are more than 500 ministers attending court today, and the entire betting process took about half an hour. Finally, after a rough calculation, everyone basically gambled, with a maximum fund of up to 20 million yuan, which is the first bet since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

With such huge amounts of money, even Li Shimin couldn't bear it. The emperor looked at Li Yun from time to time, hoping that his nephew could give him a hint.

At the last moment, the betting was about to be closed. Suddenly, I heard Xiao Lizhi's tender voice and said hurriedly: "I want to bet too, and I want to bet too, my father, I want to bet too."

The little guy kept shouting, but unfortunately no one heard the noise just now. It was not until the bet was about to be closed that the little guy's voice was heard by everyone.

Li Shimin was very interesting and looked at the youngest son and said, "Do you want to bet too? How much copper coins are you going to bet? I remember you seem to have no money, and your money will be collected by your queen."

Li Zhi tried hard to pursed his lips and plucked up the courage and said loudly: "I bet on fifty copper coins, and I will also help my sister Gaoyang bet on fifty copper coins. Sister Gaoyang cannot go to court, but I want to take my sister to make a fortune together."

"Hahaha!"

Li Shimin laughed loudly and pretended to be exaggerated: "There are actually fifty copper coins. It seems that Zhinu has been secretly saving money. Are you afraid of losing? If you lose, you won't cry."

"I will win!"

Li Zhi was very determined and said sweetly: "I want to bet on Brother Zhao, but Brother has never lost."

"good!"

Li Shimin nodded, suddenly his face became serious, and he solemnly said to the recorded eunuch: "Give a note to the King of Jin, this time he bet on five thousand guan of copper coins. And Princess Gaoyang also gave five thousand guan of copper coins a few times."

The eunuch was stunned and murmured: "Your Highness just said fifty copper plates."

The gap between fifty copper plates and five thousand pentanes is too big.

Li Shimin smiled and pointed at Li Yun beside Li Zhi and said, "The remaining money is not enough for King Zhao to give him enough. He loves his younger brother and sister so much, and he will not feel sorry for taking out ten thousand yuan."

The eunuch hurriedly looked at Li Yun.

Li Yun smiled and said, "Why would you like to change it again and remember it as one million guan? I will help Li Zhi's younger brother invest 500,000 guan, and help Gao Yang sister pay 500,000 guan. If the bet is lucky, we will sit down and share the spoils."

Good guy, you can get a million yuan in just one move!

And he still bets on himself, but in name, he is helping his younger brother and sister to contribute money.

Li Shimin suddenly looked down and snorted coldly and scolded: "Boy, you want to compete with me for the market..."

The emperor knew very well that Li Yun was likely to win.
