The ministers' ideas are easy to guess.

They don't know whether they should participate in this bet.

If a person is too smart, he will easily think too much. Once he can't figure it out, he will decide to wait and see first. This is the case now, and the ministers cannot guess what Li Shimin was thinking.

If the emperor wants to make money, they should bet on the young people who will win, and everyone will definitely lose, which is equivalent to giving the emperor another money.

But the money has been given once.

In the morning court today, everyone's bets total as high as 20 million yuan, everything is absolutely indispensable. Even if you are the emperor, you can't cut leeks like this.

If Li Yun bets, he will win, and everyone feels hesitant. Once King Zhao and those young children win the literary battle, they will definitely win the bets. Then His Majesty will have to pay the money, which means that the bets on the court today did not make any money.

So winning or losing is not a good thing.

No matter what you win or lose, your Majesty will be upset...

There are no fools who can stand in the court. The more tycoons the court are, the smarter they are. They are good at scrutinizing the emperor's minds, and the final decision is to not bet...

...

“Is anyone else going to bet?”

Li Shimin asked three times in a row, and the answer he got was that the whole audience was silent.

"Okay, there is only one woman participating in my gambling plate..." The emperor seemed to laugh at himself, ready to say that the plate was closed.

But at this moment, I suddenly saw Empress Changsun standing up and said with a smile: "I will invest 1.5 million yuan to help each of my three sons buy a bet."

uh-huh?

Why did the queen join in?

The ministers present were all stunned, and some people had already begun to think about it in their hearts.

Li Shimin was obviously stunned, but then he slowly shook his head and refused, smiling and said, "Three bettings are definitely not possible, Guanyin maid, don't even think about it!"

"Why is this?"

Empress Changsun asked a question.

Li Shimin seemed to want to avoid answering, but he pondered for a while and answered, avoiding the important and said lightly: "You and my husband are one, and your investment is equivalent to me investing money. If the bet loses, I can't ask you for money. If the bet wins, I have to pay the three princes..."

As he said, he stopped slightly and then said, "But they have taken advantage of it. One prince and one king of Wei, and even the youngest slaves have a title. You are betting on them for one million and a million trump cards now, which is equivalent to making a profit for the children. Because of this, it is not possible!"

After pondering for a while, he said, "At least three bets cannot be done."

This is already a hint.

The ministers present were all wise men, and suddenly felt that this gambling plate was probably not an ordinary gambling. Some people's eyes had already begun to flash, and they raised their legs and squeezed forward quietly.

The emperor refused the queen, but the queen refused to give up and suddenly said, "Since Your Majesty refuses to agree, then I will change my bet!"

Without waiting for the emperor to answer, she spoke directly and said: "Chengqian is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. He can't throw his bet, Qingque is the King of Wei of the Tang Dynasty. He can't throw his bet, but Zhinu is about to leave home to study. I can't treat this youngest child badly. Your Majesty must allow me to throw his bet."

Li Shimin pondered for a while, and then nodded slowly for a long time and said, "Yes!"

But then he added and said solemnly: "Except for one bet by Zhinu, the other two bets will be cancelled directly."

"no!"

Empress Changsun shook her head again, and her tone became solemn. She looked at the emperor and said, "The other two bets cannot be cancelled. I still have to help the child vote."

Li Shimin frowned.

The queen was so smart that she could see her husband’s displeasure at first glance. She quickly explained, her tone was soft as if she was praying, and said quietly: “Your Majesty, Changle and Qinghe are about to get married.”

With just this simple sentence, Li Shimin's brows had already stretched out.

The emperor glanced at the queen deeply and asked with a deep smile: "Changle is your biological child, but Qinghe is a breastfeeding agent. I hope Guanyin maid, you must think clearly. Are you sure you want to help Qinghe bet with 500,000 yuan?"

Queen Changsun took a light breath and said in a serious tone: "Since I'm calling me "Mom, I should treat them equally."

"good!"

Li Shimin and Zheng focused their attention and finally agreed: "I promise!"

Empress Changsun agreed to help her three children bet 1.5 million yuan.

The emperor had just agreed to the queen's request, but suddenly saw another concubine squeezed into the crowd. The concubine was the person of the four major concubines. After she squeezed over, she fell to the ground.

With a thud, his knee hit the soil. Even the man felt pain when he knelt down like this, but the concubine knelt down neatly.

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and asked a little displeasedly: "What? Do you want to bet too?"

"Go to the child!" The concubine knelt on the ground and looked up at the emperor with pitiful eyes.

She is Concubine Yang, one of the four great concubines, and is the most gentle and restrained in the harem.

But Concubine Yang became brave and looked at the emperor and said, "I also want to bet 500,000 yuan. I also want to buy His Highness Zhao to win. Your Majesty, please give me a chance to give me a gift."

Li Shimin snorted coldly, obviously not wanting to accept the bet.

But the emperor was not convenient to say it clearly, so he could only use questioning as an excuse and said coldly: "You want to place bets on your child, but do you have 500,000 pounds?"

These books are equivalent to rejection.

Concubine Yang's pretty face turned pale and said cowardly: "I am willing to take out all the salary subsidies for the rest of my life, and then let the palace maids go to the Interior Office to take on some embroidery work. As long as I work hard, I can always get 500,000 yuan."

As he said that, he was afraid that Li Shimin would not agree, he immediately said: "Your Majesty also knows that I have been good at knitting female red since I was a child. The royal palace brocade I embroidered is very popular in Fanyang City."

After saying this, he dared to look at the emperor pitifully, prayed with a begging face, "Your Majesty, can you?"

Li Shimin seemed a little reluctant and sighed: "Why did you fight for the princess in the previous dynasty like this? You can have lived a comfortable life with the salary subsidy of the official concubine."

Concubine Yang pursed her lips and said softly: "I am a mother."

Li Shimin's eyes turned cold and shouted in a deep voice: "But the rules cannot be broken!"

I realized that this was wrong, and it was easy for people to guess his gambling market. I quickly changed my words: "Since you are starting a bet, you must follow the rules. You don't have 500,000 guan, but you want to bet 500,000 guan for your child. Even if you can save money to pay off your debts in the future, you can't get it now."

This is already a clear rejection.

Concubine Yang felt her waist soft and her face was bitter and she fell to the spot.

"I'll lend it to the Empress..."

At this moment, everyone suddenly heard Li Yun's voice and smiled and said, "It's only 500,000 yuan. I'll lend this money to Concubine Yang."

Concubine Yang, who fell to the ground, was almost jumping out of her eyes.

Li Shimin frowned slightly, suddenly turned around and stared at Li Yun and said, "Are you sure you want to lend it to her? Do you know what I want to bet on?"

Li Yun smiled and seemed to be confused and said, "I definitely don't know what Your Majesty is going to bet, but I can't see a mother kneeling down. Concubine Yang is a great mother. I lent her 500,000 yuan to her when she kneeled."

"good!"

Li Shimin nodded slowly, turned to look at Yang Fei and said, "Get up, someone has made your bet."

There were tears in the corner of Yang Fei's eyes, but she didn't bother to wipe it at this time. She hurriedly got up from the ground, bent her knees and wanted to salute Li Yun, saying, "I dare not forget this kind of gift from King Zhao. I will definitely return your 500,000 yuan, and I will slowly do embroidery to pay it back."

Li Yun didn't dare to let her salute, and he just avoided it with a flash of steps.

Li Shimin next to him snorted lightly and suddenly said, "Concubine Yang, are you deaf? I just said very clearly. Someone has paid your bet, not someone has borrowed it..."

These words made Concubine Yang stunned.

Li Yun smiled helplessly.

Li Shimin snorted again and looked at Li Yun and said, "You guy wants to be a good person, so I will make you lose 500,000 yuan directly."

The implication is self-evident, and Li Yun’s money is not considered to be lent to Concubine Yang.

Since it is not considered a loan, there is definitely no need to pay it back.

Li Yun didn't say anything anymore. He felt that Li Shimin seemed to have taken explosives. Today's gambling plate seemed a bit abnormal, and it seemed that the emperor wanted to bet on something outrageous.

He couldn't guess clearly, but the ministers vaguely thought about it.

But when Lao Cheng suddenly laughed, he squeezed up and smiled at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I saved your life twice. Lao Cheng didn't agree at first when he started the gambling. This was a big mistake, but now I want to participate. Please give him a chance for the sake of saving his life..."

As he said that, he stretched out his two fingers, winked at the emperor and said, "Twice, twice to save the people."

"Get out of here!"

Li Shimin cursed angrily and said with a grim expression: "You have saved me twice, but I have paid you back eight times. I want to ask you Cheng Zhijie, how many times will you pay back your life-saving grace."

Lao Cheng did not feel embarrassed at all, rubbed his big hands and grinned, "Don't need to do it too much, just give it ten or eight times. For example, this time, Your Majesty must let Lao Cheng participate."

"roll!"

Li Shimin scolded angrily.

Old Cheng retreated angrily, and he heard from the emperor's tone that there was no chance.

At this time, many ministers stood up and obviously wanted to participate in the gambling market. Even the Prince of Hejian Li Xiaogong was inside, and said whistle: "Your Majesty will give you a chance, Your Majesty will give you a chance. We are all a family. I will only bet 500,000 for my legitimate son. Is it okay..."

"Shut up to me!"

Li Shimin suddenly shouted coldly, overshadowing everyone's voices. The emperor slowly put his hands behind his back and said firmly: "You have been betting, and everyone is hesitant. Now I want to participate. Who do you think of me? You are so ridiculous!"

Suddenly he turned his head and looked at an eunuch holding a paper and pen, and said in a deep voice: "Record, seal the plate..."

Is this the closure?

The whole audience was filled with disappointment.

But who is the blame?

The only thing they can blame for being smart before.

The ministers had already vaguely guessed that the emperor's compensation for this time was scary, and it might be earth-shaking, otherwise the queen and Concubine Yang would not compete.
