Li Shimin was very proud but also very dissatisfied.
Because he was sitting on a high throne, he had a clear view of the expressions and eyes of many ministers below - I believe future teachers should be very touched by this. Don't think that there are books or other things blocking the way.
The teachers can't see anything. In fact, everyone can see everything you do. Sometimes you just don't want to talk about it.
Li Shimin is in this state now.
He could see the state of the courtiers very clearly. Even after the court meeting began, many people could not help but look at the glass, and some people were even very absent-minded when others were talking.
Such a result undoubtedly made Li Shimin very proud.
But at the same time, Li Shimin was very dissatisfied with the lack of concentration on political affairs and the lack of determination of these ministers. However, he did not express this dissatisfaction - who made him want to do it because of it?
Is the glass around here jittery?
Anyway, Li Shimin was in a very happy mood today in the morning.
Even though he is the current emperor and is rich all over the world, and because of his illustrious martial arts, he has received worship and tribute from countless countries. It can be said that he has read almost all the rare treasures in the world, but the Daxing Palace is filled with glass.
This is the first time I have seen such a bright light with the windows and doors closed!
Looking at the shining eyes of his ministers, could Li Shimin feel unhappy?
It's just that it's not easy to discuss this kind of thing in the court, so both the ministers and Li Shimin himself could only discuss some political affairs a little absent-mindedly, and then the court dispersed early in the morning.
But just when Fang Xuanling took a short break and was about to go to the imperial city to work, a chamberlain quickly ran to his side: "Prime Minister, Your Majesty is kind!"
"Huh? Lead the way."
After being stunned for a moment, Fang Xuanling immediately came to his senses and nodded lightly.
Following the carefully guarded interior, Fang Xuanling came to the "Imperial Study Room" that he was very familiar with, and then saw the emperor who was looking at something at a square table.
"Your Majesty, Xuanling, your Majesty!"
"Haha, Fang Aiqing, come and sit down!"
After hearing Fang Xuanling's voice, Li Shimin raised his head, waved and smiled: "Come and take a look at this thing. Does Fang Aiqing recognize it?"
"this……"
Glancing at the small pieces of wood on the table, Fang Xuanling twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, I really recognize this thing! I just returned to Chang'an from Jiucheng Palace a few days ago, but the old minister's house...
Ahem, the splashing sound almost never stopped..."
"Uh, hahaha!"
Seeing Fang Xuanling's helpless look, Li Shimin burst into laughter.
Seeing the emperor's happy look, Fang Xuanling was speechless.
No way, that's indeed true.
Especially the eldest daughter-in-law in the family is one of the founders of that club. It can be said that she saw this game called mahjong right away... Anyway, the day after the old lady in the family returned home, the eldest daughter-in-law was like a treasure.
The reason why I moved mahjong out is to let my mother-in-law, who has been sitting in Jiucheng Palace for half a year, have some fun!
This pastime sank in and never came out.
Especially when the eldest daughter-in-law inadvertently proposed to take out a small lottery and lose a penny, the wife immediately became crazy, pulling her daughter-in-law and two old women at home to play and couldn't stop-if it weren't for Fang Xuan
His wife even planned to send people to Prince Han's Mansion to invite Princess Han to come back and play mahjong. The reason was that the two old ladies had no murderous intent and playing together would not be enough...
Listen, is that human talk?
And what makes Fang Xuanling even more speechless is that a simple game has been played by them in countless ways. What are the open bars, hidden bars, fishing for the moon under the sea, flowers on the bars; and what are all the same, one dragon?
, Menqing... Just calculating how much the winner made and how much the loser lost in each game can make these women chatter excitedly and can't stop...
"Fang Aiqing, sit down and play a few games?"
At this moment, Li Shimin suddenly said something, which made Fang Xuanling stunned.
After hesitating for a moment, Fang Xuanling said softly: "Your Majesty, I still have official business, which is not very convenient..."
"Haha, it doesn't matter!"
Before Fang Xuanling could finish speaking, Li Shimin waved his hand and said with a smile: "We just came back from Jiucheng Palace, what's the important thing? Fang Aiqing should take it as a day off for herself today and play with me for a while.
Just hold it!”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Narrowing her eyes, Fang Xuanling stopped insisting and nodded.
The emperor's attitude made him understand one thing, that is, this time it was definitely not just about playing a few games of mahjong, there must be something else. You know, as the prime minister of the dynasty, Fang Xuanling and many big bosses
Likewise, you don't just go to court in the morning and it's all over. You can go home, but you have to go to work in the "office" in the imperial city and deal with various government affairs.
Under normal circumstances, the emperor would not disturb him at will.
Li Shimin was usually a diligent and good emperor. Even if he occasionally wanted to be lazy, he would not specifically ask his ministers to accompany him, let alone ask Fang Xuanling to play mahjong with him at this time.
So after thinking about it for a moment, Fang Xuanling knew that the emperor must have something in mind that he wanted to talk to him about!
And this matter...
"No surprise, it should be related to King Han!"
When the emperor called two old eunuchs to accompany him, and when he was busy counting cards and getting ready to start, Fang Xuanling finally thought of a possibility and frowned slightly.
But soon, he no longer had the heart to think about anything else.
Mahjong is indeed a strange thing. If you just watch it on the side, many people will find it simple and boring. But once you get involved, you will feel the urgency to quickly complete a deck of cards and the nervousness of being afraid of giving others a shot.
The feeling, and of course the anticipation of winning a big sum, will make people quickly addicted to it.
Fang Xuanling, who played once at home, was like this.
and……
"Fang Aiqing, just playing like this is boring, how about we bring some luck?"
When the emperor suddenly proposed to play with some lottery money, Fang Xuanling was shocked, and his eyes could not help but change slightly - during the Zhenguan period, the emperor was very disgusted with officials gambling, so why did he suddenly propose to add some lottery money?
?
But before he could react, Li Shimin said with a smile: "If you don't play big, just five pennies per hand. Even if you get a big deck, you can only get dozens of big bucks at most..."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After just a moment of hesitation, Fang Xuanling nodded.
He was very curious, what was the emperor thinking about today?
"Eighty thousand!"
"Four!"
"Six tubes!"
…
"bump!"
"Don't move, I'm crazy!"
"Haha, Qing Yi Se, Men Qing, this is quadrupled, right?"
"Uh...exactly!"
Glancing at the very excited emperor, Fang Xuanling felt more and more that something was not quite right.
But this time Li Shimin didn't give him a chance to speak. The emperor suddenly raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "By the way, Fang Aiqing, how much does five cents quadrupling? It seems that there is something in the mathematics written by King Han.
