Chapter 16 Gambling (5)(1/2)
"Not bad! Not bad! The grass in the south of the Yangtze River has not withered in autumn, and it is indeed holly."
In the room, Li Longji smiled with a look of relief: "I didn't expect that in the end, Thirty-Balang won, and he was also very good at speaking. I felt deeply happy to slap Li Linfu in the face in public!"
At this moment, he felt that his son was pretty good again.
Gao Lishi set off on the railway while the hot: "Since the thirty-eight men won the title, can this reward be awarded to him?"
Li Longji pondered for a moment and said, "According to the rules of the competition, the winner should be given the title, but the signing of this title is not enough for me, and it still has to be signed by the emperor's brother. You also know that this title was originally decided to be given to Li Cui, so that he can be promoted to Duke of the country, so the key is whether the emperor's brother is willing to give up this title."
"Your Majesty, this is unfair to Thirty-eight Robes!"
Li Longji said lightly: "There is no fairness at all. What he wants is the same as what I want. If he wants a title, then we must win tomorrow. Only the winner is qualified to make a request!"
Gao Lishi was silent. Tomorrow's finale game, the emperor and the regent's shooting and betting battle, and Li Xiu's personal fate is also associated with the overall fate.
………………
The noise of the day gradually disappeared, and the quiet nature of the night was restored.
The lights in the room were soft, and Li Xiu sat under a candle and flipped through the "Records of the Grand Historian",
"Lu Zhonglian is a native of Qi. He is curious about his brilliant and elegant paintings, but he refuses to serve in an official position, and he is willing to maintain high moral integrity. He wanders in Zhao..."
He slowly pushed the scroll and found the source of the riddle during the day.
"The King Wei of Qi was angry and said, "I'm scolding, and my mother's maid!" He suddenly laughed at the world."
Li Xiu sighed. This riddle is indeed very rare.
If he hadn't seen this riddle in later generations, he would have been eliminated by Li Cui, and he could only say that he was lucky and lucky.
"Haha! Thirty-Balang actually reads a book with a light, it's rare!"
Gao Lishi's voice came from the door.
"Did Mr. Gao send me money?" Li Xiu smiled and greeted him.
Gao Lishi was stunned and then remembered that today was the day to make money.
He waved his hand, "I'm too busy today and haven't had time to go back yet. I'll sign it tonight and I'll be able to pay the money tomorrow."
Gao Lishi didn't need him to ask him and went into the house to sit down. "I'm thirsty, let Gongsun Xiaoniang pour me a cup of tea!"
"Xiaomei, pour two cups of tea and use a bamboo cup!"
Gao Lishi laughed in silence, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Li Xiu, "This is a record of etiquette eunuchs. If you shoot one day, you will violate the nineteen rules."
Li Xiu was surprised. There were so many things, and he remembered that he just sat in an indecent manner, knocking his back and pounding his legs.
He quickly took it over and looked at it, and couldn't help but stare at it.
"Not farting is allowed?"
Gao Lishi shook his head, "No formal occasions are allowed, so let's hold it back!"
"It's a violation of my view of Taiye Pool?"
"You are going to participate in the shooting competition, not a garden, and you are not enjoying the scenery. What you are watching is clear in your heart."
"Cough! Cough! Not to mention this, and there is this, it's wrong to chew and eat it with audio violations. There must be a sound in the meal, which proves that it's delicious! Also, I can't eat two meals, but I've wasted ninety servings over there!"
"Just do your own job, and eating is no exception."
Li Xiu was too lazy to look at it again, "What will happen if I violated the 19th Article?"
"What will happen depends on the Lord's mood!"
Gao Lishi ignited the violation record and said to Li Xiu earnestly: "I remember it. It is better to make a contribution than to violate a hundred violations."
Li Xiu immediately understood and said with a smile: "I remember the words of Gao Weng Jinyu."
Gao Lishi didn't bother to pay attention to him, knocked on the table and urged, "Get water quickly, I'm so thirsty!"
"Here you come!" Gongsun Xiaomei brought in two cups of hot tea.
Gao Lishi took a sip of tea and his smoky throat felt relieved. He said to Li Xiu: "I'm here to talk to you about the title."
Li Xiu put away his laughter and waited for Gao Lishi to continue talking.
"You should win the title of shooting and defeating the leader, and the emperor has approved it and submitted it to the Regent in the afternoon."
"The Regent refused to criticize?" Li Xiu faintly realized that something was wrong.
"He is not unwilling to criticize him. I have found him in the afternoon. The regent will say that when the shooting competition is over tomorrow."
“Besides?”
Li Xiu sneered, "That means there will be something going on tomorrow?"
"Your situation is quite special. You are the prince. If your father loses tomorrow, how can the Regent let you win alone? This is called "no end of the nest under the collapse of the nest. Do you understand?"
"What if the Father will win tomorrow?"
"The Regent told me that if your father wins tomorrow, he will sign your title award."
"Then what? Mr. Gao came to me tonight, not just to say this!"
Gao Lishi shook his head, "Tomorrow will be divided into two bets. The first one is the bet between me and Niu Xiantong. Win or lose is not important.
The second game is the key. The Regent besieged to the Inner Guard Bureau, and your father besieged to the Inner Guard Bureau. One is for safety and the other is for money. If your father loses, he will completely lose his financial power."
"I know the consequences, then what?"
"Then the Regent proposed a plan this afternoon, and let the younger generations come to gamble for them. He will designate a prince, and your father also designate a son of the Regent."
Li Xiu widened his eyes, "Mr. Gao said, may the Regent designate me?"
"It's not possible, but he has appointed you."
Gorry Korus smiled meaningfully, "The Regent bet on your bet in the final today, and he won 30,000 yuan alone. He is very interested in you."
"Does the father know if I let me play?"
"Of course he knew that your father also appointed Li Cui, the youngest son of the regent, to whom Li, the Duke of Wen'an County, and both sides had signed and confirmed it."
Others are confused by the authorities, but Li Xiu is clear by the authorities. No wonder Li Chengqi did not favor Li Cui, and the foreshadowing is left here!
Li Xiu said leisurely: "Do you know why the Regent chose me?"
"Why?"
"It's very simple. He won and said nothing. If he lost, he would say that I had been demoted to a commoner and was not qualified to participate in the shooting and gambling battle and overthrow the defeat. Did Gao Weng think of this?"
Gao Lishi was shocked, he really didn't expect this.
The more I thought about it, the more I became, the more I felt wrong. Gao Lishi's face was very serious. The emperor agreed and signed the plan. It was unlikely that he would like to repent.
What should I do?
Li Xiu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Actually, there is no way to solve it!"
Gao Lishi hurriedly asked, "What's the solution?"
"Two ways, one is to say that I have been demoted to a commoner and are not qualified to participate in the shooting and slap gambling battle..."
"impossible!"
Gao Lishi flatly denied, "You have seized the leader of shooting and knocking down, and then cancel your qualification for shooting and rolling down. This will become a laughing stock in the world. The Regent may be able to do it, but your father will not do such a thing."
"Then use the second method!"
Li Xiu's fox tail was finally revealed.
"Will you solve the problem of asking your father to issue an order to cancel the decision to demote me to a commoner?"
Gao Lishi was a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid the Regent refused to agree. The decision to demote you was reached by your father and the Regent."
“It’s very simple!”
Li Xiu wrote a note confidently and handed it to Gao Lishi, "This is the technique of cracking!"
………….
Gao Lishi left, Li Xiu washed his feet, and was about to rest, but the door was 'bang' and seemed to be kicked open.
"Who are you? Get out!" Xiaomei's roar came from the yard.
"Miss, you're very beautiful! I'll hug you to sleep tonight, but it doesn't matter, it's the same tomorrow. I'll endure it!"
Li Xiu immediately knew who was here to make trouble. He walked out of the room and said coldly: "Do you want to fight? I'll accompany you!"
In the yard, Gongsun Xiaomei stared at Li Cui fiercely like a little leopard.
Li Cui was obviously drunk too much. He shook his head and waved his hand and said, "Father doesn't allow me to come and cause trouble for you, but I feel very unhappy and frustrated. I'm here to tell you something to let you know the consequences of offending me!"
"Hmph! What do you want to say?"
"I tell you, you have no chance. My father has ordered the South Court to be prepared and will send you to the South Court tomorrow. They will lock you in a small wooden cage for a year, making your life worse than death!"
"Where did I offend your father? He treated me so cruelly?"
"Because you are Wu Sansi's grandson, just by this, my father will not spare you!"
Li Xiu took a breath of air conditioning and found out that he was Wu Sansi's grandson. No wonder Li Chengqi hated him.
