Sure enough, when he heard that Chen Ziyu wanted to make a bet with him.
Zhu Houzhao's mood stabilized a little, and he frowned and said doubtfully: "What are you betting on?"
Chen Ziyu confidently took out three coins from his pocket and waved it in front of Zhu Houzhao.
"Your Highness, have you seen these three copper plates? I can fish them out of the boiling oil pan with my bare hands!"
Zhu Houzhao looked at Chen Ziyu with wide eyes!
The eyes are full of disbelief!
Liu Jin, who was groaning on the side, also looked at Chen Ziyu blankly.
"you sure?"
Zhu Houzhao repeated it!
Chen Ziyu felt happy when he saw Zhu Houzhao taking the bait, but his face looked indifferent, "Of course I'm sure!"
"That's okay!"
Zhu Houzhao nodded, then looked at Liu Jin aside, and said expressionlessly:
"Liu Banban, go and add oil to the pot yourself. Remember not to add vinegar, only oil!"
"...."
This time it was Chen Ziyu's turn to be confused!
"Your Highness, ah this..."
Zhu Houzhao continued in a serious tone: "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that I saw this performance of yours when I was ten years old."
After saying that, he crossed his arms on his chest and looked at Chen Ziyu with a proud expression.
Chen Ziyu touched his nose and was so embarrassed!
It’s such a shame that you left it at grandma’s house!
I thought I could show it off, but it turned out that people already knew the secret!
this......
Zhu Houzhao felt very happy when he saw Chen Ziyu was silent and depressed!
"Chen Ziyu, aren't you just here for a few moments?"
"If this is the case, I advise you to admit defeat as soon as possible! Get out of Zhan Shifu!"
Chen Ziyu took a deep breath and raised his head with a warm smile on his face.
If Mr. Xindao doesn't give you something real today, you won't even know how many eyes Lord Ma has!
"Your Highness, it was an accident just now, but this time it is real!"
After that, he took out a stack of small bamboo pieces from his sleeve!
This was specially prepared by Chen Ziyu in advance.
Zhu Houzhao looked at the small bamboo slices in Chen Ziyu's hand and saw that each bamboo slice was polished very thin!
The front of each one was engraved with some strange symbols.
"What's this?"
Zhu Houzhao stared at Chen Ziyu and asked in confusion.
Chen Ziyu smiled, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and thought to himself, if you knew what this thing was, I should ask you for your WeChat ID!
"Your Highness, I call these playing cards!"
"Poker cards?"
Zhu Houzhao was slightly startled. This was the first time he had heard of this.
Immediately, he looked at Chen Ziyu with a suspicious look on his face, wanting to see what he was up to!
"What's the use of this thing?"
Chen Ziyu, who had been prepared for it, said with a smile: "Your Highness, this thing is mainly for fun!"
"Play? How to play?"
"Your Highness, please take a look! There are a total of fifty-four bamboo pieces here!"
"Among them, from one to ten, plus count, marquis, and duke, there are thirteen pictures in total, each with four colors, namely plum blossom, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum, for a total of fifty-two pictures!"
Chen Ziyu patiently explained that for convenience, he replaced the original JQK with the size of the title!
As for the flower colors, there is nothing more suitable than plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum!
"What about the other two?"
"The other two are the Grand Champion Hou and the Little Champion Hou, referred to as the Da Hou and Xiao Hou!"
Speaking of this, Chen Ziyu paused deliberately for a moment and glanced at Zhu Houzhao inadvertently.
Sure enough, when Chen Ziyu mentioned the champion, Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows subconsciously!
Chen Ziyu knew very well that Zhu Houzhao’s idol was the champion, and he dreamed of imitating Huo Qubing and sealing the wolf as a wolf to roam the desert!
Later, after he succeeded to the throne, he named himself Zhu Shou and made himself the Duke of Zhenguo. He led the army and conquered Yingzhou personally and achieved a great victory in Yingzhou!
To be honest, Chen Ziyu has always thought that if Zhu Houzhao was not a prince, but a general, he would definitely be called a famous general!
In addition, I can honestly say that Zhu Houzhao is actually very smart, but his intelligence is used in other places. As long as he is interested in something, he can learn it immediately!
But Emperor Hongzhi didn’t know about this!
Zhu Houzhao did not dare to let Emperor Hongzhi know that he was martial!
After all, Zhu Qizhen, the war god of the Ming Dynasty, was in front of him, and all the subsequent ministers were disdainful of the emperor's martial arts practice.
I naively thought that as long as I specialized in literature but not martial arts, there would be no such thing as the emperor's personal conquest and being captured!
Zhu Houzhao picked up the bamboo piece and looked at it carefully, and then asked urgently: "Tell me, how do you play with this thing?"
It was obvious that Zhu Houzhao was interested in "poker".
When Chen Ziyu saw the fish taking the bait, he felt secretly happy.
"Your Highness, there are many ways to play poker. I will first tell you the rules of one of them, 'Run Fast'."
"Your Highness, there are four types of playing cards. One of them is called a single card, two are called a pair, three are called airplanes, and four are called bombs. The bombs can blow up any card."
"etc!"
Zhu Houzhao picked up the bamboo piece engraved with the champion, raised it, and asked doubtfully:
"This champion only has two, wouldn't he be able to become a bomb?"
Chen Ziyu smiled mysteriously, as if he had already guessed this question.
"The champion is too strong, so the big champion and the little champion together are the ace in the bomb, or king bomb for short!"
Zhu Houzhao was obviously very satisfied with this explanation and said happily:
"That's true. Since ancient times, the champion has been the bravest general in the world. He can indeed defeat many with one!"
"Keep talking!"
Zhu Houzhao became more and more interested and hurriedly urged.
Chen Ziyu continued to speak:
"For singles, three is the smallest, and after the grand champion is the highest! The same goes for pairs, planes, and bombs!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Houzhao interrupted Chen Ziyu again.
"No, one and two are obviously smaller than three. Why did you say that three is the smallest? Don't think I don't understand!"
Chen Ziyu shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Highness is indeed smart, but your Highness only knows one thing and not the other."
"tell me the story."
"Has Your Highness read the Tao Te Ching?"
A strange look flashed across Zhu Houzhao's face. He had learned the Tao Te Ching.
It's a pity that he was distracted during class and didn't pay much attention to it.
I only remember a few of them, not all of them.
Now I suddenly heard Chen Ziyu ask, feeling a little embarrassed.
However, in order not to lose face in front of Chen Ziyu, he could only pretend to be fat.
He held his head high and said with an inward tone: "Of course I have read the Tao Te Ching, so what do you think?"
Naturally, Zhu Houzhao couldn't hide this little idea from Chen Ziyu, but he didn't reveal it either.
Chen Ziyu smiled, then picked up the bamboo piece engraved with one and two, and said in a dignified manner:
"Chapter 42 of the Tao Te Ching says: Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things! All things bear yin and embrace yang... all things return to one!"
"Whether it is ordinary people, princes or ministers, or even a floating creature between heaven and earth, they will eventually return to dust and return to earth. This confirms the principle of the endless cycle of all things in the Tao Te Ching."
"I think that although it looks small, the philosophy it contains is indeed endless!"
"So, Your Highness, do you think this order of size is reasonable?"
