The invention of Mahjong during the Chinese New Year can be considered as adding a bright color to the world to relieve boredom.
Regarding its original intention, Li Qinzai indeed invented it for Li Ji. He had heard in his previous life that mahjong can prevent Alzheimer's disease, but I don't know if there is any scientific basis for it.
Li Qinzai really didn't want Li Ji to die too early. He was a famous general and his grandfather, so wouldn't it be good to live a few more years?
After playing a few games with Li Zhi, Li Qinzai saw that Li Xian, who was watching the game, was eager to try, so Li Qinzai gave up his position to him, and he wandered around to observe their card skills.
You can tell a person's character from his poker skills.
Li Zhi plays his cards very steadily. He never plays big cards. He usually goes with the flow. Most of the time, he is stupid. He wins three melons and two jujubes and smiles happily.
But Li Qinzai made a brief summary and found that it was Li Zhi who played the most tricks. After all, it was not difficult to play Hu cards. Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, and Li Zhi also won the most money.
Empress Wu is also very stable in playing cards, but she has a bit of edge. No matter how bad her starting cards are, she always tries to make a big one, so she can only rely on the luck of the next card.
Although most of the time she didn't have the chance to cheat, her occasional luck allowed her to cheat two big ones, and the money she lost was basically recovered, with a slight loss.
As for the Xue family’s dog...
This guy is a mindless game of hitting and rushing. No matter how bad the starting cards are, he still has to be consistent, so he loses more and wins less. As Li Qinzai said, he is a rare enemy on the poker table.
As for Li Qinzai himself, his poker skills are a bit similar to Li Zhi's. He doesn't deliberately pursue big names and usually follows the trend. The difference is that Li Qinzai occasionally does something risky and depends on luck. If his starting hand is four pairs When it comes to cards, I will also impulsively try to make a small seven pair.
When four people play cards, four different personalities can be seen on the card table.
Li Zhi is the final winner. Small wins add up to big wins.
The imperial structure is really different from ordinary people.
Li Zhi stared at the cards in front of him and frowned slightly. It was obvious that his hand was a bit unsatisfactory and he didn't rely on anything, but he said: "What are Jing Chu's plans after the year?"
Li Qinzai was stunned and said: "I originally planned to return to Ganjingzhuang after the Yuan Dynasty to continue teaching and educating people. Does your Majesty have any arrangements?"
Li Zhi grunted, threw out a piece of cake, and said: "Teaching and educating people is a big thing. Jingchu has been on the mission for a few months. Without discipline, those arrogant people in the school are going to be in trouble. Li Jingxuan...heh, I can't suppress them." .”
Empress Wu's movement of drawing cards suddenly stagnated, and then returned to normal, playing a fifty thousand card.
Li Zhi immediately said: "touch!"
Empress Wu smiled: "Your Majesty is just waiting for me..."
Li Zhi also smiled and said: "After Jing Chu returns to Ganjing Village, do one more thing for me."
Li Qinzai said: "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
Li Zhi said calmly: "This year, the Tang Dynasty will change its era name again. At the beginning of the first month, the name will be changed to 'Linder'. In other words, from today on, it will be the first year of Linde..."
Li Qinzai's cheek twitched several times.
What should I say about this emperor? He is indeed wise, but he also has some bad habits, especially he likes to change his name and his reign.
For a good censorship station, the censorship station in Luoyang must be renamed "Dongtai", and the censorship station in Chang'an should be called "xitai", making it look like two national TV stations.
The year name is also the same. It has been more than ten years since Li Zhi ascended the throne. Yonghui, Xianqing, Longshuo, and now he wants to change Linde.
How can someone in his thirties be so rebellious?
As for why it was changed to Yuan Linde, Li Qinzai also heard more or less about the reason after returning to Beijing.
The reason is a bit nonsense. It is said that in October, someone from the palace saw Qilin's footprints outside the Hanyuan Hall of the Daming Palace in Chang'an.
This incident is also clearly recorded in the history books, "Bingwu, Lin Zhi met in front of Hanyuan Hall".
When I see the footprints of an unknown animal, I have to force myself to say that it is a unicorn, a blessing from God.
So Li Zhi decisively changed the reign name. The emperor should see a doctor for his second-rate problem.
Li Qinzai doesn't know how to evaluate this problem. It's weird, cute, and adorable.
"A good year!" Li Qinzai decisively sang a hymn: "The Kirin appears in this world, a symbol of great governance, and the holy name of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty reaches to the sky. The prosperous age is not far away."
Li Zhi laughed heartily, with a look of pride on his face. He didn't realize that he had hit two more, but was rather complacent.
Empress Wu saw the right opportunity and fed another card: "Eighty thousand."
"bump!"
Li Zhi's Qing Yi color was obviously almost done, and his expression became more and more joyful. After playing a waste card, he was suddenly stunned: "Huh? What did I just want to say to you?"
"Your Majesty just said that the reign name will be changed to Linde starting today." Li Qinzai reminded.
"Ah, yes, the year name has been changed..." Li Zhi said and was stunned again: "Why did I say the year name was changed for no reason? What do I want to say next?"
Li Qinzai sighed, looking so cute and cute...
With a snap, Li Zhi slapped his thigh hard and said: "By the way, change the year name! After changing the year name, there will be a scientific examination this year, yes, a scientific examination!"
Li Qinzai looked at him confused, what does the scientific examination have to do with me? Do you expect me to get the top score in the examination?
Empress Wu rolled her eyes at Li Zhi just right and said with a smile: "Your Majesty means that this year's scientific examination, the number of candidates for the arithmetic subject will be higher than in previous years. In the past, the number of candidates for the arithmetic subject was less than ten, and this year we plan to expand it to fifty."
Li Zhi continued: "Yes, I and the courtiers have all seen Jingchu's arithmetic skills with our own eyes. The new gadgets you created can indeed be explained by arithmetic as you said."
"In the field of arithmetic, Jingchu's knowledge is far beyond that of a middle school scholar, and is unparalleled in the world. Therefore, I plan to have Jingchu come up with the examination questions for the arithmetic subject this year."
Li Qinzai was startled and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, my ability is not enough to convince the public. Please take back my order."
Li Zhi said displeasedly: "If you can't even convince the public with your arithmetic, who in the world is qualified to propose a question?"
Xue Na, Li Sujie and others who were silent on the side were all shocked.
Writing questions in scientific examinations has always been a special event for the great scholars of the world. Even if it is a relatively unpopular math subject, it must be written by a well-known and respected math wizard in the world, such as the legendary Taoist Li Chunfeng.
Unexpectedly, in this year's scientific examination, the emperor actually asked Li Qinzai, who was in his twenties, to write the questions. This is an unheard of precedent. You can imagine how the court will be in trouble when the news spreads.
Li Zhi's appointment of talents is really eclectic, and his imperial courage is evident.
Regarding this matter, it was obvious that Li Zhi and Empress Wu had reached a consensus, and Empress Wu seemed to have put aside the small grudge she had with Li Qinzai.
"Jing Chu, don't think too much. It's just a calculation of the test questions. The scientific examination is a major event for our dynasty. Your Majesty has also considered it carefully. With Jing Chu's talent, he will be able to do it. As for the criticisms of others, your Majesty will resolve it himself."
