Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Chapter 63 My son is promising

"I'm here to see you, Your Majesty."

Guan He, who had been waiting for so long, finally came to the imperial study and saluted Emperor Qi.

"No courtesy. Why did King Wu and King Ming fight in the Jianye Gambling House? What is happening now? Are there any casualties?" Emperor Qi asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, when I rushed to the gambling house, nearly a hundred people were fighting in the gambling house, but most of those who fell were ordinary servants and thugs in the gambling house, and no one died. The two princes and Zhang Although Danzang was injured, he is generally fine and can now go to the cell on his own," Guan He replied.

When he heard that he could go to the cell by himself, Emperor Qi's mouth twitched slightly. What do you mean by going to the cell by yourself and being familiar with the way? I couldn't help but think of Tian Hao's words in my heart. These people are indeed in bad shape and should be disciplined and disciplined.

Hearing that everything was fine, Zhang Yi, Tian Hao and others all breathed a sigh of relief, but their thoughts were different. Zhang Yi thought about going home and asking if he had won. If he lost, he would be beaten again. Tian Hao, on the other hand, is thinking about how to discipline Tian Zhi after returning home. He has not learned well at a young age, so it is time to take action in the family.

"As for the reason, I also asked about it. Today is the day when King Ming and the Sun family meet to play Cuju. Mi Liang, a student from Taiping College, has always been on good terms with King Ming, so he invited Ji Ren, Zhuge Ran, Zhang Gan and Tian Zhi, students from the same college, to go with him. Cheer for it..."

Hearing this, Zhang Yi and Tian Hao suddenly narrowed their eyes. Sure enough, how could their children be wrong?
  Those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black. Mi Liang must have caused the bad things, and they must be strictly restrained in the future.

"But because it was still early, they made a bet at Jianye Casino. Then they won a million taels of silver..." Guan He said.

"What? How much money did you just say you won?"

Halfway through Guan He's words, Zhang Yi suddenly heard a number and said in surprise regardless of the occasion.

How much is it, one million taels of silver?
  Is my son successful?
  Emperor Qi didn't argue with him. He was also surprised by this number. The emperor said he had control over the world, but in fact he was also short of money. During the Xiliang Rebellion, many powerful families in Da Qi took the opportunity to annex land and privately Hidden in the secret realm, Dharma, and the court's tax revenue is far less than before. Coupled with the court salary and rewards from princes and grandsons, if one million taels of silver enters his hands as income, it will not last long, but it must be treated as pure profit. Savings is not a small amount of money.

"One million taels of silver, Zhang Gan seems to have won one or two hundred thousand taels." Guan He said.

"One or two hundred thousand taels?" Zhang Yi thought in his mind, treating him as one hundred thousand taels of silver. He knew that the money Zhang Gan had on him could not last more than 500 taels, so it was at least two hundred times the profit.

When did my son have such ability?

If there was, I would have taken him to sweep the casino.

At that time, there will only be one or two hundred thousand taels of silver.

No, if there is such a thing, why not call him a father?

This treacherous son has grown up in vain.

If the father is called, the father will give him hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. When the time comes, it will be doubled two hundred times, and the grandchildren will not have to worry about it.

Moreover, if you have a father around, how can you lose?

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi thought in his mind that he would give him a good education when he went back.

"When did they have this ability?" Emperor Qi asked doubtfully.

"This minister doesn't know, but it seems that everyone is betting with Ji Ren, and Ji Ren wins money every time he bets." Guan He said.

"Ji Ren?" Emperor Qi looked at Zhuge Qinglan with a puzzled look on his face and said, "Is this the Prime Minister's junior brother?"

He still had an impression of Ji Ren. After all, whether he was Qiao Qingyu's fiancé or Zhuge Yuquan's disciple, both identities deserved his attention, especially the latter.

There are still people who dare to be Zhuge Yuquan's disciples.

"Exactly." Zhuge Qinglan said. He was not surprised by this result, because among such a group of people, the only one he could not see clearly was Ji Ren.

Naturally, only Ji Ren has this ability.

And since King Wu wants to plot against Ji Ren, he thinks that Ji Ren is not a good-tempered person, so it is normal for him to take revenge and go back.

I just didn't expect that once I made the move, it would be a million taels.

"What does that have to do with King Wu?" Emperor Qi asked again.

"Because after they won a million taels, the gambling house was closed and no more gambling was allowed." Guan He continued.

"Why? Why should my son win money and not be allowed to gamble anymore? What's the point?" Zhang Yi was furious when he heard this. Good guy, can you continue to make money with my son?
  "Shut up." Emperor Qi glared at Zhang Yi angrily. This reckless man's voice became louder and louder.

Zhang Yi shut up embarrassedly after hearing this, but his face was still unconvinced.

You're such a good Jianye Trading Company, but you don't want to gamble anymore. Are you looking down on my Zhang family?
  "But King Ming and others refused, so they started to quarrel. Then King Wu showed up. Under the quarrel, for some reason, he attacked King Ming. King Ming was defeated. Chun Yudan, the son of Princess Yueyang, stepped forward to protect King Ming. King Wu sent someone to protect him. To take action, the entire gambling den was attended by 70 or 80 people, so Zhang Gan and the others took action one after another." Guan He continued. "Wait a minute, you said my son and the others were fighting seventy or eighty people with a dozen people?" Zhang Yi jumped out again after hearing this.

This is wrong. When you told me about a crowd fighting, I thought it was about a few dozen people. But you told me that only Ming Wang’s twelve-person Cuju team and Ji Ren’s few people totaled twenty people. Come, beat seventy or eighty people?
  Is this bullying his Zhang family?

"Seventy or eighty people?" Tian Hao's expression also changed, and he was angry, but this was his only biological son. He didn't know how much he would suffer in this fight.

"Shu Zi."

Hearing this, Emperor Qi's expression turned gloomy. He originally thought that the scale of the fight would be about the same, but he didn't expect it to be so different.

The King of Wu is the elder brother. He has broken etiquette by attacking his younger brother. It is really ridiculous to bully the younger brother like this.

"Your Majesty, King Wu wants to see you!"

At this moment, there was another sound outside.

"Okay, this rebellious son still dares to come to see me?" Emperor Qi looked furious, and was about to announce his entrance, but as he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, looked at Guan He and said, "King Wu is here, what about King Ming? "

"Back to your majesty, King Ming said that the prince committed the same crime as the common people. Since he wants to be arrested, he should be arrested together, and he will also be put in prison. I don't know what to do now, so please give me your Majesty's instructions." Guan He said.

For reasons of stance, Guan He took the initiative to omit the words "share blessings and share hardships" and "brothers go to jail together".

Anyway, the meaning is pretty much the same.

"Okay, a child of King Ming who is not yet underage knows that the prince is guilty of breaking the law and the common people, and upholding the laws of Qi, he is not as good as his younger brother." Emperor Qi laughed angrily and said, "Let that traitor get in."

"You retreat to the side hall." Emperor Qi looked at Guan He and said.

"Yes." Guan He immediately hid in the back and began to look forward to the next scene. These princes who sat in carriages every day had no idea about the alleys of the imperial capital. They left early and still fell behind him.

Not long after, Guan He heard the voice of King Wu.

"My son, I will meet my father."

"Shouldn't you be at the academy today? Why did you come to see me?" Emperor Qi said, holding back his anger and looking at King Wu.

He wanted to see what King Wu had to say.

"Father, I am here to plead guilty." King Wu said.

"Excuse me? What's your crime?" Emperor Qi frowned slightly, but felt a little relieved.

If you can admit your mistake, you can be saved.

"Back to my father, I failed to restrain my fifth brother, which caused the fifth brother to gather in a crowd and cause trouble, so I came here to apologize." King Wu kowtowed.

"Your fifth brother gathered a crowd to make trouble?" Emperor Qi narrowed his eyes with a cold light and looked at King Wu.

King Wu, who bowed his head, didn't realize it and just said to himself: "Yes, today I made an appointment with several people from the Sun family, but found that he was in the Jianye Gambling House, relying on his status as a prince, threatening the manager and forcing him to do so. He was doing business, regardless of the livelihood of the people, and competing for profits with the people. His son came out to discipline him, but he insulted him instead, and laughed at his son, who was neither his direct descendant nor his eldest son, so what qualifications did he have to discipline him."

"My father clearly knows that my son is only acting out of his brother's responsibilities. But not only did he refuse to obey, he even said that he wanted me to take care of him. Unless my father dies and I come to visit Dabao, I am disrespectful. In fear, in order to protect the face of the royal family, he took action to capture him. Unexpectedly, he led a crowd to besiege his ministers. The ministers had no choice but to be stopped. As a result, the Dongcheng patrol camp was summoned, and a group of people were detained and imprisoned. The fifth brother actually wanted to follow him and be detained together. The son was afraid of losing the royal face and asked him to come with him to see his father. However, he refused. The son had no choice but to come to see his father. Decree."

After hearing what King Wu said, everyone present had subtle expressions. What he said was really appropriate.

And according to King Ming's nature, I'm afraid he has said all these things.

If Guan He hadn't come first, and according to King Ming's temperament, he might have come to the palace to confront each other, there might have been another conflict, but it's a pity that Guan He came earlier.

At this moment, the ministers in the palace, except for Zhang Yi, were either neutral or supported the prince because of etiquette. In any case, none of them supported the king of Wu, so they were happy to see him suffer.

As expected, Emperor Qi said in a cold voice: "Your fifth brother is still in prison, and you bully the younger ones, why are you still here?"

"Father?"

King Wu looked up at Emperor Qi in disbelief.

How could any prince be imprisoned in a prison just because of a fight?
