Manna Hall
Seeing Li Mu leading Xiao Luzi in, Li Shimin frowned slightly, and asked, "What happened to Da'an Palace?"
Xiao Luzi knelt on the ground with a plop, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor learned that a game called mahjong has recently been launched in Chang'an, and asked the servants to call Xu Guogong, Song Guogong, and Ju Guogong into the palace to play with the Supreme Emperor. See you The servant hesitated, and said that he should either ask the three Dukes to play with him, or his Majesty should go and play with him."
Li Shimin asked: "What is mahjong?"
Xiao Luzi said: "Your Majesty, mahjong is a tool for gambling, and it needs four people to play together."
"boom!"
Li Shimin's face turned cold: "I asked you to serve the emperor, and you did it like this? You actually taught him to gamble?"
He didn't care what Li Yuan was doing, as long as he didn't see those old ministers and didn't create trouble for him.
Xiao Luzi begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Li Shimin knew that now was not the time to deal with Xiao Luzi, so he had a headache thinking about how to deal with it.
Let Gao Shilian and the others go to see Li Yuan, definitely not.
He also didn't want to see Li Yuan, although the relationship between the father and son had eased a lot because of his extermination of the Eastern Turks, Li Yuan would no longer yell at him when he saw him.
But there are still a lot of sarcastic remarks, how could Li Shimin be willing to be angry with that.
The problem is that it is impossible not to go now, otherwise Li Yuan will make a fuss and it will be very troublesome.
"Li Mu, go to the Queen, let her go to Da'an Palace first." After Li Shimin ordered, he said to Xiao Luzi: "You go back first and tell Father, I will be there later."
Li Yuan didn't have any opinion on Empress Changsun, although because of Li Shimin's reason, he didn't want to talk to Empress Changsun, but he wouldn't speak too harshly in front of her.
Li Shimin thought, with Empress Changsun around, he wouldn't be scolded bloody by Li Yuan for a while.
When Li Shimin walked into the main hall of Da'an Palace, he saw Empress Changsun talking. Although Li Yuan didn't speak, he had a smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood.
Li Shimin bowed and saluted: "See Father!"
When Li Yuan saw Li Shimin, his expression darkened instantly, he snorted coldly, and ignored Li Shimin.
Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Royal father, don't you want someone to play mahjong with you? Your majesty and concubines came here specially to accompany you."
Li Yuan said angrily: "Mahjong needs four people. You two and me plus me are only three people. How can you play? He asked you to come because he was afraid that I would scold him. Hmph! You can do it yourself, so what are you afraid of now! "
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Li Shimin's face. What happened back then was a pain in his heart, and Li Yuan dared to mention it in front of him after so many years.
But he was helpless.
Empress Changsun said: "Father, Your Majesty has also notified Lizhi, she should be here soon."
Li Shimin sent someone to notify Empress Changsun to come to ease the atmosphere between father and son.
But Empress Changsun was very clever, so she asked about mahjong.
Although Li Mu didn't know what mahjong was, Xiao Luzi said that four people were needed to play it, but he remembered it.
When Empress Changsun learned that four people were needed, she sent someone to inform Li Lizhi that she hurried to Da'an Palace.
Just as he was talking, Li Lizhi walked in, led by an eunuch.
"See grandpa, father, and queen."
Seeing Li Lizhi, Li Yuan showed a smile on his face, and said, "Lizhi doesn't need to be polite, sit down quickly."
Li Lizhi looked at Li Shimin who was still bowing there, and said, "Grandfather, Father and Emperor haven't sat down yet. As a daughter, how can I sit comfortably?"
"Nizi's children are more filial than the other." Li Yuan said angrily.
No one answered these words, and the whole hall fell silent.
Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "Excuse me."
Li Shimin straightened up and sat down.
Empress Changsun said: "Father, don't you want to play mahjong? My daughter-in-law has also heard about mahjong, but I don't know how to play it. Father wants to teach us."
"I haven't played it before." Li Yuan looked at Xiao Luzi and said, "Tell us how you play that mahjong."
Xiao Luzi quickly explained how to play mahjong.
Li Yuan and the others are all smart people, and the mahjong game is not difficult. After listening to it once, you already understand the general idea.
"Mahjong seems simple, but it has many changes. I don't know who can come up with such a complicated thing. This person has a great talent, but he uses it in a small way. It's a pity, a pity." Li Shimin sighed.
It took hundreds of years from the invention of mahjong to its maturity, and Lin Xuan directly produced a mature body, which is of course amazing.
Xiao Luzi had a strange look on his face, Madam Liu and Madam Zhang naturally dare not say that they invented mahjong, and when asked, they would tell the truth.
The mahjong he bought out of the palace, of course he knows who invented it.
Seeing Xiao Luzi's expression, Li Yuan asked, "Xiao Luzi, do you know who invented this mahjong?"
, Xiao Luzi did not dare to hide it, and said: "Back to the Supreme Emperor, mahjong was invented by the Marquis of Jingyang County."
"Marquis of Jingyang County? I remember that Li Zhi's son-in-law seems to be the Marquis of Jingyang County, right?" Li Yuan asked.
Empress Changsun said: "Return to father, it is him."
"Hahahaha~, this kid is not bad, you have found a good son-in-law." Li Yuan laughed and tears remained.
Li Shimin looked embarrassed, no matter how you look at it, Li Yuan was laughing at him.
He also said just now that the person who invented mahjong was a great talent, but he didn't need to be on the right path. Now he found out that that person was still his son-in-law. Isn't that a slap in the face?
"Father, I already understand the rules, why don't we play first." Empress Changsun said quickly.
Li Yuan stopped laughing and said, "Xiao Luzi, go get ready."
Xiao Luzi led several eunuchs to bring tables and stools, set up mahjong, and brought some gold to Li Yuan.
"It's ready to report to the Supreme Emperor," Xiao Luzi said.
Li Yuan said: "Let's go, let's play."
Li Yuan walked to the top of the table and sat down. Li Shimin and Empress Changsun sat on the left and right of him, and Li Lizhi sat opposite.
According to the rules Xiao Luzi said, they first threw the dice to find the dealer.
Li Shimin was lucky and became the dealer. Just as he was about to toss the dice, Li Yuan shouted, "Wait!"
Several people looked at Li Yuan, wondering what he wanted to do.
Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin and said contemptuously, "Where's your money? Could it be that you want nothing but a white wolf?"
Li Shimin almost vomited blood, I gave you all the money, am I just a white wolf with empty hands?
"Li Mu, go get me some gold." Li Shimin said.
Li Yuan pointed to Empress Changsun and Li Lizhi and said, "There are also theirs."
Li Shimin said: "Take more."
He is rich and powerful now, and he is not short of money at all.
"Father, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is running out of money now, Father will spend more in the future." Li Shimin said with an upstart face in order to avenge Li Yuan's just saying that he wanted to be a white wolf.
"Are you showing off to me? Or do you want to tell me that it is right for you to be the emperor?" Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin and said indifferently.
Li Shimin said: "Father is worrying too much, my son just wants to be filial and filial to father."
Li Shimin really meant this. He has worked hard all these years, and he just imagined that Li Yuan would prove that it was a mistake for you not to choose me.
Knowing son Moruo father.
Although Li Yuan didn't expect that Li Shimin would be so ruthless and launch a mutiny directly, but Li Shimin's careful thinking still couldn't hide it from him.
"I tell you, no matter how well you do, I can't be satisfied, because you set a bad head for Datang." Li Yuan said lightly.
