Chai Shao said intermittently,
When Li Shimin and the others heard this, they all reacted immediately.
"Ahem, cough, cough... Uh-huh, uh-huh..."
"That...this...ahem...this is called mahjong."
"National policy... Ah, yes, yes, it is a national policy."
"Okay, that's great, hahaha... You two came just in time, come on, come on, sit around and have fun."
Everyone quickly went up and grabbed Fang Xuanling and Chai Shao.
Damn it!
It turned out to be a misunderstanding.
Damn it, Fang Xuanling and the others are really going to take advantage of themselves.
Sure enough, Fang Xuanling's face suddenly darkened after listening to their words.
Mahjong?
Losing one’s mind by playing with things!
Disaster for the country and the people!
It turns out that underground they are not discussing national policy, but indulging in... this kind of trick! !
They were all too distracted to go to court.
Usually in this case, there is some "witch" tempting you in the harem, and you should be killed!
But this mahjong...
Fang Xuanling didn't know what to say for a while.
"Come on, come on, sit down, sit down."
"Hehehehe... This is King Chu's private money king, Xuan Ling. As you know, I went to King Chu's Mansion yesterday. Wei Zheng, come here, you have a good time, come and teach Xuan Ling."
Li Shimin took advantage of Fang Xuanling's daze and quickly glanced at everyone.
Suddenly, they all started to move.
Fang Xuanling, who was still thinking about how to reason with Li Shimin and a few others, was already pushed to the card table.
Prince Chu's Mansion?
King Chu’s stuff?
It's him again! !
When Fang Xuanling heard this, she felt a little curious in her heart. She wanted to find out more about it first, and then impeach them, including Li Shimin.
The most important thing is to impeach the King of Chu. He doesn't like the King of Chu.
but……
Play and play.
Fang Xuanling was so intoxicated that she couldn't extricate herself and seemed to have forgotten the time.
When Fang Xuanling came to his senses, the sunset was about to set.
The front of the chest touches the back.
Not even hungry.
"this……."
Fang Xuanling looked at the color outside and pursed her chapped lips.
hiss……
He couldn't help but gasp.
This so-called Mahjong has such magic power! !
Fang Xuanling was horrified and couldn't accept it.
"This is the crystallization of the wisdom of King Chu. I still have auxiliary machines and others. It's just that I have experienced it, and it has taken so long."
"Huh... Xuan Ling, I'm laughing. However, this thing can strengthen the brain and refresh the mind. Various arrangements, various unknowns, and various considerations. I think it will be of great benefit to the world!!"
"Relaxing a little in your free time is very beneficial to the development of people all over the world!"
"Xuanling, what do you think?"
Li Shimin said slowly.
Fang Xuanling nodded, took a breath, and said: "This thing is the best thing if it doesn't affect your livelihood, farming and studying. His Royal Highness the King of Chu is so skilled that he can even study such complicated things." .”
"I admire you very much. I believe that all the people in the world will be grateful to His Highness King Chu."
I felt disgusted and couldn't help but praise him.
Li Shimin smiled, stretched out with great satisfaction, and said, "In that case, let's promote it."
"Common people, there should be some room for fun."
"In life, you can't just think about being angry."
"Hiss... I think this is why King Chu studied mahjong."
Li Shimin said softly.
"That's true." Wei Zheng agreed with this statement.
The people of the Tang Dynasty, the ordinary people of the world, cannot live their lives just to... just to live.
It’s time to let the days gradually become richer.
It seems that this is what His Royal Highness King Chu has been pursuing.
After solving the problem of food and clothing, and with food weapons such as sweet potatoes, we need to develop more.
Everyone was silent.
It seems that the future direction of the imperial court has been set.
His Royal Highness the King of Chu has found the direction for them!
The people of the Tang Dynasty may become the happiest people in all dynasties! !
That night, all the princes lay directly in Tai Chi Palace.
Although the autumn night was a bit cold, a palace maid brought a quilt and spread a carpet on the floor, which was very comfortable.
"His Majesty."
Fang Xuanling turned around, rested her head on her arms, looked at Li Shimin, and scratched her head.
"Your Majesty, I think that although mahjong is fun, you should not be too addicted to it and waste the court."
"The people of the world are all looking at Your Majesty and counting on Your Majesty. If Your Majesty..."
Fang Xuanling expressed her concerns.
Although he also surrendered to the charm of mahjong, the sense of mission in his heart made him unable to help but want to speak out and advise Li Shimin.
"Abandoned? I can't say, I...when have I never had to deal with political affairs?"
"Besides, since the Turks left, the Tang Dynasty has been peaceful these days. Is there anything else that I need to deal with?"
"Three Provinces and Six Ministries are not just for free, not to mention that visiting the Prince of Chu's Mansion is more important than dealing with business."
"To be honest, I have been thinking about what I have been doing all these years. I can't figure it out."
"But when it comes to telling me about what I discovered in Prince Chu's Mansion, I can tell you all about it. Hey... Prince Chu's Mansion, Xuan Ling, you also know about it, you all know it."
"Today, in addition to this mahjong, I have also found a way to let the people of the world survive the winter!!"
"From now on, if nothing else, the issue of keeping people warm can be said to have been almost solved!!"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
Fang Xuanling was stunned. He knew exactly how this year's winter would be spent.
The locust plague is raging, and three or four of the ten realms in the world have no harvest. Why are there tens of millions of people in these three or four realms?
The lack of food means that they cannot change into thick clothes, cannot keep warm during the winter, and cannot even eat enough.
However, a few days ago, His Majesty used His Royal Highness the King of Chu's Glaze Wolf King to solve the problem of not having enough to eat.
But the issue of heating still weighs on the court and on the hearts of the princes.
Those grains can't keep the people full, but they can almost keep them hungry, but that's not enough! !
Keep warm!
Very important! !
The winter in the Tang Dynasty lasted for three or four months, especially the cold winter of March 9th, when the snow fell heavily and the people could not bear it at all.
Just relying on some food is not enough!
If it's summer, it's okay, but in winter, it really costs a person's life.
Especially the elderly and children.
They are difficult to get past.
When the time comes, mourning floods the land, and it will definitely be another disaster year in the history books.
People, it’s difficult!
However, Fang Xuanling never expected that Li Shimin would say this.
"Your Majesty, what can we do?"
He was horrified.
Li Shimin briefly talked about the honeycomb charcoal thing. Fang Xuanling was beside him and was really dumbfounded.
Is this okay?
This works too!
hiss……
Is this His Royal Highness the King of Chu? An ordinary thing at home can help people in the world survive this cold winter and save people in the world!
Fang Xuanling was speechless.
Regarding mahjong, he didn’t even mention it.
If he could come up with such a method, to be honest, he wouldn't say anything even for a month, let alone a day or two.
"Why……."
Li Shimin sighed.
"Now, sometimes I wonder, what's the use of going to court every day? When I encounter some problems, I have to go to the Prince of Chu's Mansion in the end to solve them."
"To be honest, I have some doubts. Do you think I am too incompetent to be the emperor? Since a few months ago, I have been followed by the shadow of the King of Chu."
"Moreover, I don't have the ability to get rid of this shadow at all. Everything I have to do seems to be King Chu... Everything I have to do with King Chu's help."
Li Shimin said slowly and deeply.
There was silence in Tai Chi Palace.
He stared blankly at the moonlight shining on the door and window in front of him.
He wanted to hear Changsun Wuji and others comfort him.
This feeling has become more and more obvious recently.
"Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Chu... Phew... don't compare yourself with His Highness the King of Chu."
Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty, besides, wouldn't it be nice to have His Royal Highness the King of Chu to help you? To be honest, how can we solve those things?"
Wei Zheng also said quietly.
"Your Majesty, you are actually right. It seems that His Highness the King of Chu has helped us with all the things we have been doing during this period."
"We are just executors."
Du Ruhui also nodded in agreement.
Li Shimin:...
He couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Damn it!
Are these old men starting to mess up now?
Don’t you want to comfort yourself now?
Li Shimin, who was already a little depressed, became even more depressed after hearing these words.
"Your Majesty, stop comparing yourself with King Chu."
"There are many dynasties like ours in the history of the Tang Dynasty, from Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, and the Three Kingdoms, and they have never stopped. But, Your Majesty, do you know that there have been people like the King of Chu in all dynasties?"
Wei Zheng spoke with a dull voice.
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment.
It seemed that he was speechless.
silence.
In the Tai Chi Palace,
Silence fell for a moment.
"sleep!"
Finally, Li Shimin closed his eyes.
The lights went out.
I can't hold it any longer.
Not only Li Shimin, but also Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng could not hold on any longer.
After fighting for almost two days and one night, I was so excited that even the gods couldn't hold it back.
I slept until dawn.
Even today's morning meeting was cancelled.
Li Shimin and the others had never slept so well.
So delicious! !
It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that Li Shimin got up lazily.
Sitting on the Tai Chi Palace.
Feeling the sunlight coming in from the door and windows is very comfortable.
"Well... Your Majesty, you're awake."
Wei Zheng also sat up, rubbed his eyes, looked at Li Shimin, his voice was a little lazy.
"Well, I slept really soundly this time. I have never slept so soundly before, hehehe..."
“Come on, bring some meals!!”
Li Shimin ordered.
His stomach hadn't eaten anything very good in the past few days, let alone full. Now that he had just woken up, he felt a little uncomfortable from being hungry.
Not only him, but Wei Zheng and the others also didn't eat anything. They were so addicted to mahjong that they couldn't extricate themselves.
"Oh, the sun is so bright, the weather is really good today." Changsun Wuji also woke up.
“A…….Uu…….”
Du Ruhui opened his eyes, lay on the ground, and continued: "There are not many times when I feel so comfortable. I slept well this time. I will continue later!!"
Du Ruhui smacked his lips, still having some unfinished thoughts.
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes.
"Continue, of course continue!!"
"However, I want to change places, go to the residence of the Supreme Emperor, and go have fun with the old man!!"
"Can you not let the old man join in the fun of King Chu's good things?"
Li Shimin smiled.
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.
yes! !
Li Yuan, the Supreme Emperor, has always been a concern for His Majesty. He lives in the inner palace, and there seems to be no news. Those who don't know think he is dead.
However, they understood that there seemed to be a wall between the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty.
That thing about Xuanwu Gate! !
Who will not respond to it?
Over the years, His Majesty has been thinking about building a relationship with the Supreme Emperor, but to no avail.
Now that Mahjong has appeared, it’s completely different! !
By the way, who can say no to mahjong?
Old man, it definitely won’t work either! !
After all this, will the old man still blame His Majesty?
I’m afraid it won’t happen anymore!
Everyone quickly got up from the ground, looking forward to seeing how the old man would play mahjong later.
High spirits.
"Your Majesty, why don't you bring one of those clairvoyants to the Supreme Emperor? I'm sure the Supreme Emperor will be very excited and very happy!!"
Changsun Wuji gave advice.
Li Shimin thought it made sense and made arrangements immediately.
Meals are coming.
Everyone crowed for a while, then took mahjong and clairvoyance and walked toward Li Yuan's residence in a mighty manner.
…..….………
Fengyi Hall has a garden.
Today, there is some excitement here.
Queen Changsun invites all the ladies of the country to come here to play.
Empress Changsun and all the ladies of the country are actually very familiar with her.
Before Li Shimin entered the hall, they almost always played together.
Having said that, we have been through a lot of ups and downs together.
Li Shimin and other princes were fighting abroad, and almost all of their wives and children fell behind in Chang'an.
Whenever there was war on the front line, they would gather together, burn incense, pray, and worry about Li Shimin and others.
Therefore, after Queen Changsun moved into the imperial city, she still played and partyed with them from time to time.
"My dear, the peonies have failed for a long time, but the chrysanthemums are in full bloom."
"However, no matter how you look at this chrysanthemum, it still doesn't look better than the peony, especially the fragrance. Peony is the orthodoxy!!"
Mrs. Cheng was a little emotional.
The status of peony is unshakable in the hearts of every common person in the Tang Dynasty.
Not only is the atmosphere bright, but the taste is also deeply loved by the people.
There is no comparability at all, it can be said to be unique! !
Mrs. Wei also nodded.
"Who says it's not the case? These autumn flowers are all a little less interesting."
"These crabapples and so on are a bit monotonous. I don't know if there are any good bouquets in the palace recently."
Mrs. Wei asked with a smile.
Empress Changsun stood by and prepared tea for them.
Listening to a few people sighing, I couldn't help but shake my head and smile.
