Chapter 2 The Emperor Plays the Board(1/2)
"You are so brave! You are so arrogant and noble, you actually do something like a thug on the street! I am really ashamed of you!"
In the imperial study, there were a lot of people kneeling down in black.
They were all the children of the royal family who had been arrested and gambling just now. Jing Hedi couldn't help but lose his temper when he looked at a bunch of familiar faces.
However, Jing Hedi's personality is not the kind of decisive killing, so he just cursed and did not ask him to drag him out and beat the twenty-stop first.
The children of the royal family who were kneeling below obviously knew this, so they didn't talk to each other, so they wouldn't be scolded even more.
Jing Hedi was tired after scolding for a while. He sat on the chair before he began to look at the seized objects on the imperial desk.
He had no interest in that stack of gold ingots.
The current financial situation of the Dakang Dynasty was very abundant and it was only less than a hundred years ago. Therefore, the royal family did not have a large population and the burden was not large. The salary given to the children of the royal family was naturally very generous.
But if these naughty children dare to gamble with gold ingots, they will have to bear the consequences. When someone comes to the family to get it back, they will naturally have to pay a tenfold fine. It seems that they are still so squandering!
Next to it is a stack of scattered wooden signs with various patterns and some strange marks on them.
Is this a gambling tool?
Although Emperor Jing He did not gamble, he knew that indoor gambling equipment was generally dice, Paijiu, and Yezi card. These thin and wide wooden cards did not look like narrow Yezi card.
He tried to pick up one piece, but it felt very thin, and there was a hint of softness in his hand. Then Jing Hedi pinched it in the middle with both sides and found that the wooden sign could be rolled up, but it did not break.
Only then did Jing Hedi become a little interested and start to use a little more effort to flip and fold the wooden sign.
"Click!"
Under repeated ravages, the wooden sign broke suddenly.
Jing Hedi put down the wooden sign quietly and said in a deep voice: "What is this? How do you use it to bet?...Liu Mingjing, please tell me!"
Mingjing is the strongest man in the middle of his twenties. He is no longer as domineering as before, and is as honest as a quail.
After hesitating for a long time, he spoke tremblingly: "Reply to Your Majesty, this... I don't know about this!"
"Don't know?" Jing and Di laughed, "Why, who are you still trying to cover up? Don't you know that you can't protect yourself?"
Perhaps it was because he was unwilling to betray the person, or perhaps because he valued his identity, Liu Mingjing lowered his head and did not answer again.
Jing Hedi snorted coldly, "Come on, drag Liu Mingjing out and hit the top ten boards again!"
The little eunuchs standing at the door quickly ran over and mounted Liu Mingjing, but before going out, they looked at a middle-aged eunuch standing behind Emperor Jing and Emperor.
The middle-aged eunuch shook his head calmly, and then they went out to do business with confidence.
Since the ancestors have spoken, these ten boards must not be put into practice. The little prince can only suffer a little bit of flesh and blood.
"Ba!Ba!..."
They hit people just outside the door of the Imperial Study Room, and the sound of the board falling on the flesh came into everyone's ears.
The women were a little better, but the men were already trembling.
They are all nobles of heaven. Although they have been separated from the current emperor for two or three generations, they are still noble in status. Where have they suffered?
Liu Mingjing has liked to play with swords and guns since he was a child and polished his body. He was as strong as a cow. The top ten boards hit him is nothing, but when he hits him and others, what happened?
The top ten boards were finished soon.
Liu Mingjing was taken back again and still knelt in his original place.
Then Emperor Jing He asked again, "Now who among you is willing to tell me, who made this thing?"
"Your Majesty, it was made by Prince Yu Liu Mingqi!" Someone immediately answered.
"Is it the one Liu Mingqi who left you and ran away alone?" Jing and Emperor mercilessly uncovered the scars of a group of younger generations.
This time, Liu Mingjing gritted his teeth a little.
Of course, the beautiful Bagu couldn't help but blurted out: "Yes, Your Majesty. Poker cards were invented by Liu Mingqi, and the gameplay was invented by him. Everything was created by him!"
As soon as Bagu opened his mouth, a group of people next to him immediately took a break from the wrong path.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Liu Mingqi lied to us to play games at the beginning!"
"He originally said he was playing cards, but he didn't expect to start squeezing money later!"
"We are obsessed with him, and it is Liu Mingqi, please tell me your Majesty!!"
Emperor Jing He shook his head unconsciously when he looked at a group of mobs.
His eyes fell on these wooden cards and said, "So what is the way to play this...player cards? What's going on with these strange patterns on it?"
Since the eight aunts have betrayed Liu Mingqi, they no longer pay attention to it. "Your Majesty, please allow the daughter of the minister to explain it to you."
"Okay, come here!" Jing Hedi waved to her.
The eighth aunt is named Zhiyu, and is the daughter of King Rui. She was named the county lord, that is, Emperor Jinghe's niece. She is cousin and brother to Liu Mingjing and Liu Mingqi.
When it comes to his niece, Jing Hedi is naturally not that harsh.
Bagu arrived at the imperial desk and picked up a card casually, "This is the fifth of the spears. Your Majesty, you can see these five black peaches? This is the meaning of this card. Playing cards range from 2 to 10, and then there is JQKA on top, A is the largest, and it represents 1. There are four colors of black and red plum squares. Adding the ghosts and ghosts, he formed a deck of 54 playing cards."
"I can see the five black peaches, but isn't it a little too hard to distinguish them by the pattern alone?" Jing Hedi said, "Isn't it supposed to be concise and clear to make it easier for those ordinary people who have never read books?"
"Oh, there are numbers written here." Bagu pointed to the upper left and lower right corner of the pattern, "This is 5."
"five?"
Emperor Jing He frowned, "The number Liu Mingqi invented?"
"Yes!" Bagu found out 13 blocks, "This is A, it is also 1, this is 2..."
Jing Hedi followed her instructions and thought for a while. He simply took a piece of paper and wrote down the 9 numbers and JQKA, but he became more and more confused.
He simply didn't think about it and asked Bagu, "Do you think these strange numbers are easy to understand?"
"I wasn't used to it at first, but after reading it too much, I felt that they were much simpler than the numbers we usually have." Bagu was also a brave man. Seeing that the emperor was no longer angry, he took another brush and quickly wrote a string of numbers on the paper. "Look, if I wrote the numbers at the same time, I finished writing this new number, I'm afraid they could only write half of the ordinary numbers, right?"
Jing Hedi nodded with a smile and pointed to the two numbers on the paper, "What is this?"
"0 and 1." said Bagu, "I asked Liu Mingqi, what he told me."
"good."
Jing Hedi waved his hand, "Go down and keep kneeling."
Bagu's big eyes were filled with disbelief: "Your Majesty, have I made up for my merits?"
"Who said that?" Jing Hedi looked stern, "You gathered to gamble and ruined the reputation of the royal family. I have to punish you!"
After a pause, he said, "Forget it for girls, just hit the palm of your hand ten times... All the rest, like Liu Mingjing, hit the top ten steps!"
"ah?"
The eighth aunt had a bitter face, but she didn't dare to refute it.
Of course, the group of children from the royal family below dared not refute, but the miserable meaning on their faces was revealed in words.
Only Liu Mingjing showed a smile on his face.
But immediately Jing Hedi discovered it, and he casually said, "Liu Mingjing is together!"
"ah!?"
Liu Mingjing was dissatisfied now, "Your Majesty? Didn't you be punished just now?"
He has always been very brave, and even the emperor dares to talk back.
Emperor Jinghe did not argue with him, but waved his hand to signal the eunuchs to call the guards in and drag the group of naughty children out for execution.
After a while, there were wailing outside and cries endlessly.
Emperor Jing He was also a person with bad taste. He laughed at the imperial study room, "I deserve it!"
Zhao Shou, the eunuch who was carrying the house next to him, smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, it is normal for a group of children to play, and it is not worth your attention."
Emperor Jing He looked down at the pile of things on the table, and suddenly handed out his jade pendant and said, "Zhao Shou, go to Xuan Liu Mingqi to enter the palace immediately!"
"Abide by the order!"
Zhao Shou didn't ask why, and immediately walked to the door with his jade pendant in both hands and gave an order to a eunuch.
After the eunuch took the jade pendant, he immediately took a few Qianniu Guards' guards.
The Dakang Dynasty court ordered the palace to come in and out until the early morning of the next day after the gate of the palace fell from the gate.
Violators
cut!
Turning his head, Zhao Shou looked at Emperor Jing He who was sitting in front of the imperial desk, and found that he was a little confused and holding a piece of paper to look at.
It seems that what Prince Yu tinkered with this time is very interesting!
While thinking, Zhao Shou recalled Prince Yu's prince Liu Mingqi.
In his impression, Liu Mingqi was not a smart clan.
In terms of intelligence, elegance and talent, he is not as good as the Prince Mingguan of Prince Li.
In terms of strong force, he is not as good as the Prince Mingjing of Prince Yi who is being beaten outside now.
