Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chai Shao: "My thoughts are the same as Prime Minister Fang's, Your Majesty. Please allow me to listen to the national policy. I also hope Your Majesty will take good care of your health. Otherwise, it will be a loss for the whole world!"

What the two said was heartfelt and passionate.

In Taiji Palace, there was a sudden silence.

Li Shimin hosted the event.

The cards in his hand fell onto the table with a thud.

Dedicated to the people of the world?
Listen to national policy?

What what?

A little confused and a little silly.

Is it really that high of a level to play mahjong by yourself?
Everyone looked at Fang Xuanling and Chai Shao who were kneeling on the ground.

"You guys get up."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said in a daze.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Fang Xuanling and Chai Shao stood up.

But the next moment, the two looked at Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others standing beside the table.

Li Shimin, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingdeyi and Cheng Yaojin, the four of them sat at the table.

Blocks are scattered on the table.

The two of them were also stunned.

Both sides were stunned.

what's the situation?
“This is…” Fang Xuanling’s eyes twitched.

It seems that this picture is a little different from what I imagined.

hiss…….
Your Majesty has snacks and tea at hand.

These blocks on the table.

Are you talking about national policy?
Chai Shao pursed his lips, swallowed his saliva, and said, "That... Your Majesty, during the morning court session, I saw that you all looked tired, and thought... I thought it would be a good idea to talk all night, so I and Prime Minister Fang..."

Chai Shao said intermittently,
When Li Shimin and others heard this, they immediately reacted.

“Cough cough cough….Hmmmm…”

"That... this... ahem... this is called Mahjong."

"National policy...ah, yes, yes, it is national policy."

"Okay, that's great, hahahaha... You two came at the perfect time, come on, sit down, and play for a while."

Everyone rushed forward and grabbed Fang Xuanling and Chai Shao.

What the hell!

It turned out to be a misunderstanding.

Damn it, Fang Xuanling and the other two really want to get a hold of me completely.

Sure enough, Fang Xuanling's face suddenly turned gloomy when he heard their words.

Mahjong?

Playing with mourning!

Disaster for the country and the people!

It turns out that they are not discussing national policy underground, but are indulging in this kind of tricks!!
They were all distracted from attending court.

Generally, in this situation, it is because there is some "witch" in the harem who is tempting and should be beheaded!

But this mahjong...
Fang Xuanling didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Come on, come on, sit down, sit down."

"Hehehe... This is Mr. Qin's good stuff. Xuanling, you know, I went to Wangyun Inn again yesterday. Wei Zheng, come, you have a good time, come and teach Xuanling."

Li Shimin took advantage of Fang Xuanling's trance and quickly gave everyone a look.

Suddenly, they all started moving.

Fang Xuanling was still thinking about how to explain things to Li Shimin and a few others when he was pushed to the card table.

Wangyun Inn?

Qin Changye’s thing?

It's him again! !

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he felt a little curious and wanted to find out more about it first and then impeach them, including Li Shimin.

The main purpose was to impeach Qin Changye. He didn't like Qin Changye very much.

but…….
Play and play.

Fang Xuanling was so immersed in it that he couldn't extricate himself and seemed to have forgotten the time.

When Fang Xuanling reacted, the sun was about to set.

The front of the chest touches the back.

I can't stand being hungry anymore.

"this……."

Fang Xuanling looked at the color in the sky and pursed his cracked lips.

hiss…….
He couldn't help but gasp.

This so-called Mahjong actually has such magical power!!
Fang Xuanling was shocked and found it hard to accept.

"This is the fruit of Master Qin's wisdom. I and the assistants have only appreciated it for a long time."

"Huh... Xuanling, I laughed. However, this thing can invigorate the brain and refresh the mind. With various arrangements, various unknowns, and various considerations, I think it will be of great benefit to the world!!"

"In your spare time, you can relax and unwind for a while. It will be very beneficial to the development of the people of the world!"

"Xuanling, what do you think?"

Li Shimin said slowly.

Fang Xuanling nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "If this thing does not affect your livelihood, farming, and studying, it is a great thing. Young Master Qin has superb skills and can even research such a complicated thing."

"I admire you so much. I believe that people all over the world will thank Mr. Qin."

I was so disgusted that I couldn't help but praise it.

Li Shimin smiled, stretched himself lazily with great satisfaction, and said, "In that case, let's promote it."

"People, there should be some room for fun."

"Life is like this, you can't just think about getting angry."

"Hiss... I think this is also the reason why Master Qin studies mahjong."

Li Shimin said softly.

"That's true." Wei Zheng agreed with this statement very much.

The people of the Tang Dynasty, ordinary people of the world, can't just live their lives just for... for the sake of living.

It’s time to make our days gradually richer.

It seems that this is what Master Qin has always been pursuing.

Now that we have solved the problem of food and clothing and have sweet potatoes as a food resource, the next step is to develop more.

Everyone was silent.

It seems that the future direction of the court has already been determined.

Young Master Qin, we found the direction for them!

The people of the Tang Dynasty may become the happiest people in all dynasties!!

That night, all the dukes lay directly in the Taiji Palace.

Although the autumn night was a little chilly, the palace maids brought quilts and laid a carpet on the floor, making it extremely comfortable.

"His Majesty."

Fang Xuanling came back to his senses, rested his head on his arm, looked at Li Shimin and scratched his head.

"Your Majesty, I think that although Mahjong is fun, you should not be too addicted to it and neglect the affairs of the court."

"The people of the world are all looking to Your Majesty, and they are all counting on Your Majesty. If Your Majesty..."

Fang Xuanling expressed his concerns.

Although he also succumbed to the charm of mahjong, his sense of mission made him want to speak out and give advice to Li Shimin.

"Abandoned? I can't say. When have I not been involved in government affairs?"

"Besides, since the Turks left, the Tang Dynasty has been peaceful these days. Is there anything else that I need to deal with?"

"The three provinces and six ministries are not for idleness, not to mention that compared to handling business, it is more important to visit the Chu Palace."

"To be honest, I have been wondering what I have done all these years, and I can't figure it out."

"But if you ask me to tell you about my discoveries at Wangyun Inn, I can name them all. Hey... Wangyun Inn, Xuanling, you also know about it. You all know it."

"Today, in addition to this mahjong, I have also found a way to help the people of the world survive the winter!!"

"From now on, let alone other things, the heating problem of the people can be said to have been solved!!"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice. Fang Xuanling was stunned. He knew the situation of this winter.

The locust plague was raging, and three or four out of the ten regions in the world had no harvest. Why did the people in these three or four regions die in the tens of millions?

Without food, they cannot change into thicker clothes, cannot keep warm during the winter, and cannot even get enough to eat.

However, a few days ago, Your Majesty used Master Qin's Glazed Wolf King to solve the problem of not having enough food.

But the issue of heating is still weighing on the court and on the minds of these dukes.

The food was not enough to fill the people’s stomachs, but it was enough to keep them from starving to death. But it was not enough!!
Keep warm!

Very important! !

The winter in the Tang Dynasty lasted for three or four months, especially during the coldest days of winter when there was heavy snow and the people could not bear it at all.

Just a little bit of food is not enough!

If it is summer, it is not a problem, but in winter, it can really cost a person's life.

Especially the elderly and children.

They had a hard time getting through.

By then, there will be widespread grief and it will surely be recorded in history books as another year of great disaster.

It’s difficult for the people!
However, Fang Xuanling never expected that Li Shimin would say this.

"Your Majesty, what is the solution?"

He was horrified.

Li Shimin simply told the story of honeycomb coal. Fang Xuanling, who was standing next to him, was really stunned.

Does this work too?
This works too!
hiss…….
Is this Mr. Qin? An ordinary thing in his home can help people all over the world survive this cold winter and save them!
Fang Xuanling was speechless.

He also never mentioned the matter of mahjong.

If he could come up with such a method, to be honest, he wouldn't say anything even if we beat him for a month, let alone a day or two.

"Why……."

Li Shimin sighed.

"Now, sometimes I wonder, what's the point of going to court every day? When I encounter some problems, I still have to go to the Prince of Chu's Mansion to solve them."

"To be honest, I am a little doubtful. Do you think I am incompetent as an emperor? Since a few months ago, Mr. Qin's shadow has been following me."

"Moreover, I have no ability to get rid of this shadow at all. Everything I have to do seems to be done by Young Master Qin... It is Young Master Qin who helps me do everything."

Li Shimin said slowly in a deep voice.

There was silence in Tai Chi Palace.

He stared blankly at the moonlight that fell on the door and windows 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, Young Master Qin... Huh... Stop comparing yourself to Young Master Qin."

Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Besides, wouldn't it be good to have Young Master Qin helping us? To be honest, how can we solve those problems?"

Wei Zheng also said quietly.

"Your Majesty, you are actually right. It seems that all the things we have been doing during this period of time were helped by Young Master Qin."

“We are just executors.”

Du Ruhui also nodded in agreement.

Li Shimin:…….
He couldn't help but roll his eyes.

These old bastards, are they starting to act badly now?

Don’t you want to comfort yourself now?

Li Shimin, who was already feeling a little depressed, became even more depressed after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, don't compare yourself with Young Master Qin."

"There are many dynasties like our Tang Dynasty in history, from Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, and the Three Kingdoms, without interruption. But, Your Majesty, do you know that there have been people like Prince Qin in all dynasties?"

Wei Zheng spoke in a dull voice.

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment.

It seemed that he was speechless after hearing these words.

silence.

In Tai Chi Palace,

There was a moment of silence.

"go to bed!"

Finally, Li Shimin closed his eyes.

The lights went out.

I can't hold it any longer.

Not only Li Shimin, but also Zhangsun Wuji and Wei Zheng could not hold on any longer.

We fought for almost two days and one night, and we were so excited that even a god couldn't hold on.

I slept until dawn.

Even today's morning court session was cancelled.

Li Shimin and his men had never slept so well.

So delicious! !

It was not until the sun was high in the sky that Li Shimin lazily got up.

Sitting on the Tai Chi Palace.

It feels so comfortable to feel the sunlight shining in through the door and windows.

"Hmm... Your Majesty, you are awake."

Wei Zheng also sat up, rubbed his eyes, looked at Li Shimin, and his voice was a little lazy.

"Well, I slept really soundly this time. I have never slept so soundly before, hehe..."

"Someone, bring some food over!"

Li Shimin ordered.

His stomach hadn't been full for the past few days, as he hadn't eaten anything good, let alone been full. Now that he had just woken up, he felt a little uncomfortable with hunger.

Not only him, but Wei Zheng and his group also didn't eat anything. They were so immersed in mahjong that they couldn't extricate themselves at all.

"Oh, the sun is shining brightly. The weather is really nice today." Changsun Wuji also woke up.

“Ah….Wu….”

Du Ruhui opened his eyes and lay on the ground, continuing: "It's rare to be this comfortable. This sleep was so sweet. Let's continue later!!"

Du Ruhui smacked his lips, still feeling a little unsatisfied.

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes.

"Keep going, of course I have to continue!!"

"However, I want to go to another place, to the residence of the Emperor Retired, to play with the old man!!"

"The King of Chu has such good things, can't we let the old man join in the fun?"

Li Shimin smiled.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this.

yes! !
The retired emperor Li Yuan has always been a source of worry for Your Majesty. Living in the inner palace, it seems that there is no news about him at all. Those who don't know him think he is dead.

However, they understood that there seemed to be a wall between the Emperor and His Majesty.

The Xuanwu Gate incident!!

Who wouldn't feel uncomfortable if this happened to them?
Over the years, Your Majesty has been trying to build a closer relationship with the Emperor, but to no avail.

Now, Mahjong has appeared, and things are different! !
After all, who can resist mahjong?

Old man, that's definitely not possible!!

After all this, will the old man still blame Your Majesty?
I’m afraid not!

Everyone quickly got up from the ground, looking forward to seeing how the old man would play mahjong.

High spirits.

"Your Majesty, why don't you bring the Clairvoyance to the Emperor? I'm sure the Emperor will be very excited and happy!!"

Zhangsun Wuji gave advice.

Li Shimin thought it made sense and made arrangements immediately.

The meal is coming.

Everyone rushed forward, then took their mahjong and clairvoyance and headed towards Li Yuan's residence in a mighty procession.
