Xiao Zhengtai's mother, Lian'er, has become Ying Zheng's favorite concubine since entering the palace, and now she has been named his wife.
Since Ying Zheng had not established a queen, his wife already had the highest status in the palace.
Even though there is Mrs. Ding besides him, the number of times Ying Zheng goes to her is very rare. He is usually with Lian'er. Needless to say, everyone knows the status between the two!
For such a large banquet with envoys from other countries, Ying Zheng also brought Lian'er!
At this time, Lian'er didn't know whether her son was sure of the situation, so she took a plate of her son's favorite dishes and walked towards the young lady.
Taking the opportunity to bend down and put it on the table, he asked quietly, "Feiyu, are you sure?"
Little Shota raised her little head, showed a sweet smile, and said four words, "Don't worry, mother!"
Lian'er smiled and nodded, returned to Ying Zheng and poured him wine, "Brother Zheng, I asked Fei Yu, and Fei Yu reassured me!"
"Well, he is indeed my son. He never does anything uncertain, haha!"
Ying Zheng spoke in a low voice, smiled knowingly, then glanced at the six envoys, and said: "Today is the birthday of the young master, but I am also interested and want to bet with a few envoys. Ichiban!"
"We men on the grasslands love to gamble. It is well known that His Majesty the Central Plains is also willing to gamble for two games? Haha, tell me, how do you want to gamble?"
Gus stood up and asked passionately.
"Bet on whether you and the young master win or lose, place your bets as you like!"
"Casual bets? What does this mean?"
Envoy Harry asked.
"It literally means that everyone here, whether ministers or envoys, can place bets at will. No matter what they bet, as long as I lose, all compensation will be paid. Of course, I will definitely be on the side of the young master!"
Ying Zheng looked at the Huns behind the wine tables with a smile.
Just seeing Xiao Zhengtai's familiar smile, he had already guessed that this kid must be sure!
Afterwards, after listening to Lian'er's words, I felt more confident and prepared to imitate that boy, who had also experienced the addiction of deceiving others!
The young lady on the side couldn't help laughing when she saw Ying Zheng's operation.
After playing with me for a long time, I actually learned how to trick others!
"Your Majesty, are you sure that your Majesty will pay for whatever we press?"
Harry didn't believe such a good thing could happen.
Gus had just exposed his drinking capacity, but this old emperor actually dared to start a gambling game?
"That's right, even if you risk the entire Huns, if I lose, I am willing to give you the Great Qin Kingdom!"
"Hiss..."
As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, all the ministers took a deep breath.
They would definitely not dare to participate in such a big situation!
It was obviously specially prepared for the Huns!
Besides, since Your Majesty is on the side of the young master, they cannot risk the Huns' victory regardless of life or death. Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
After the Huns leave, their official positions will be over!
"Your Majesty means what he says?"
The eyes of several envoys were shining brightly.
"A promise worth a thousand gold!"
Ying Zheng nodded firmly.
After receiving the emperor's reply, the six Huns envoys all showed greedy eyes and gathered together to discuss in low voices.
Ying Zheng didn't interfere and just picked up the fruit from the fruit plate and threw it into his mouth happily.
"This is a good opportunity. We might as well spend more money and let the Emperor of Central Plains pay us compensation!"
"Yes, yes, Gus is the best drinker on our grassland. Let alone three bowls, even thirty bowls will be fine!"
"The people from the Central Plains have a terrible drinking capacity, and they even gambled on three bowls. We must teach them a lesson!"
"If you win this game later, let the emperor agree to open a mutual market, marry the princess to our Shanyu, make a lot of money, buy some food and take it back, and you will definitely get a reward from the Shanyu!"
"That's right...!"
Several envoys were absolutely delighted, with proud smiles on their faces.
However, Harry, who was the head of the envoys, did not agree with their opinions, "If you want me to see it, let's take a big one!"
"Big one? How about one million gold?"
Gus said excitedly.
If the money is exchanged for food, it will be enough for the herdsmen on the grassland for a small year!
Even if you don’t buy food, taking it all back is still a huge income for the grassland, and promotion to an official position is definitely indispensable!
"What's money? It will all be spent sooner or later!"
Harry glanced at Ying Zheng cautiously.
"Then what do you mean...?"
Several other people looked puzzled.
Isn't a million gold not a big deal?
"Why don't we ask them to build a few cities! Follow the example of Great Qin and collect taxes from the people there. This is a steady stream of income, and the land output there will belong to me, the Xiongnu. Isn't this more than a million gold?"
Harry spoke his mind.
Asking for the city is equivalent to expanding the territory of the Xiongnu, which may not be won even by launching a war!
Now you can win through just one bet without spending any soldiers!
"Want a city?"
"Then we have to bet three tribes!"
Several other envoys were very interested in Harry's words, but they were a little frightened at the thought of taking the tribes on the grassland.
"So what if we take the tribe to prison? Do you think Gus can't even drink three bowls of wine?"
Harry asked rhetorically.
"Don't underestimate me, I'm not drunk even after a thousand cups!"
Seeing that the others didn't believe him, Gass immediately gave up and shouted at the top of his voice.
After being pulled by Harry, he lowered his head and lowered his voice, "If you surrender to the tribe, surrender to the tribe. I will definitely win three of their cities and come back!"
"Uh...Okay, let's do it then!"
Seeing that this guy was so confident and everyone knew him well, the other envoys had nothing to worry about and nodded in agreement.
At this point, they have concluded their discussion.
Harry, as the representative, said slightly jokingly: "Since His Majesty the Emperor is interested in gambling, we are also willing to accompany him. How about we first attack the three tribes on the border?"
"Hiss..."
The sound of gasping for cold air sounded again in the imperial garden.
The expressions on the ministers' faces were even worse than before!
They thought that the young master had already done enough nonsense, but they didn't expect that His Majesty would also join in the fun and start betting!
And one dared to play and the other dared to suppress, the Huns envoys actually suppressed the three tribes on the border!
This is obviously asking Your Majesty to pay for the three cities of Da Qin!
In fact, when Harry said these words, he didn't know how Ying Zheng would react, so he adopted a tentative tone!
Once Ying Zheng falls out, he can find excuses to get over it!
"Hahaha...! I just said it, bet as you like!"
However, to his surprise, Ying Zheng was not only not angry, but actually laughed.
