Big Song Xiaohou Ye

Chapter 150 Eight Wise Kings

Liu E's mood was disturbed, and she didn't have the mood to continue watching the Cuju match. She said with a cold face, "I'm tired, get up and go back to the palace." On the ground, he watched the Queen Mother leave with a complicated expression.

A minister who was close to King Xiao Yuan reminded him in a low voice: "My lord, the Queen Mother has already left."

Zhao Ji looked at the queen mother's back and was a little lost. Hearing this, he frowned and stood up slowly. He still didn't understand why the queen mother was so angry. If he couldn't find the key to the problem, he didn't know how to solve it, let alone how to avoid it next time. This made him a little flustered and a little overwhelmed.

Zhao Zhen looked at him frowning and thinking, and sighed: This emperor's brother is too scheming... Zhao Qin'er did not hide his complacency at all, Xiao Yuan Wang brothers and sisters have always been domineering, but this time they were finally beaten by the Queen Mother. I got reprimanded!
The empress dowager left angrily, making the originally harmonious atmosphere a bit stagnant. All the ministers stopped talking enthusiastically, and occasionally those who talked were whispering cautiously, lest others would overhear them.

Li Ce vaguely heard a few elderly ministers whispering about Liu E's life experience, and then he suddenly realized that Liu E's background was recorded in the history books. Compared with the low self-esteem, this is often criticized by people. At the beginning, some people objected to her being a queen, which was an excuse.

"Boom, boom, boom" Soon the second game began, and the Cuju field was lively again. The two teams that played for the second time were Prime Minister Ding Wei and Privy Envoy Zhang Qi. Two heavyweights appeared on the stage. Re-attract the attention of officials.

"You don't need to watch this game, the prime minister must have won." An adult whispered.

"How do you know?" someone asked.

"Hehe, Zhang Qi is like a human being. He has always been a good person. Who do you think he has offended? Besides, with the prime minister's current power, who would dare to win him?" said the man.

"I don't think so. The Privy Council holds military power, and it has always been a separate court from the Zhongshu Province. It is known as the East and the West. There is no need for the Privy Council to bow to the prime minister." A minister shook his head and said.

"You don't understand this. If it were the previous privy envoy Mr. Cao Bincao, he would naturally not be afraid of the prime minister, but this privy envoy, hehe...he is going to retire soon, let alone dare to follow The prime ministers are arguing, if you don’t believe me, just watch.” The man said proudly.

"Fan Xi, as long as you understand, one day it will fall on your mouth." A minister reminded him.

It turns out that this person is called Fan Xi. He is in his 40s and is an admonisher. He is also famous for his big mouth. Became an admonisher.

Chen Yaozuo and Zhang Shixun looked at each other, Ding Wei was so tyrannical that even Zhang Qi, the privy envoy, dared not beat him in the Cuju competition.

Li Ce was secretly startled at the side, he only knew that Ding said he was powerful, and he had fought against him once, and he didn't think there was anything powerful about this old man, but he only understood this Ding after listening to these old things. It is said that they are so afraid.The privy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty is equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the national army. Such an absolutely powerful figure is afraid of Ding Wei, and he dare not even win him in the competition. This is too fucking cowardly!

At this time, there was a burst of cheers from the audience. Li Ce looked around and saw that a goal had been scored. It seemed to be Ding Wei's team. He looked up and saw Ding Wei sitting on the west side, smiling and stroking his beard. Unhappy, a group of ministers beside him are trying their best to flatter him.

Li Ce's gaze collided with Zhao Zhen inadvertently. He could see the dislike in Zhao Zhen's eyes. It's no wonder that Zhao Zhen's team scored a goal just now, and he had never seen this group of people flattering so hard. Now the prime minister's The team scored a goal, and this group of people seemed to be happier than the parties involved, just like the Chinese New Year. Isn't this typical flattery?And this limelight directly overwhelmed the emperor.

Ding Wei, Ding Wei, I don’t know if you really don’t know or you don’t care at all, the principle of prosperity and decline, it stands to reason that you should have a deep understanding at your age, but you are still so flamboyant, and you are not far from decline Yes... Li Ce shook his head, the authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear, obsessed with power blinded his eyes.

This game was extremely boring, like chopping vegetables and cutting melons, there was no suspense from the beginning to the end, and at the end, Ding Wei won without any surprises.

All the ministers congratulated Ding Wei, and Zhao Zhen also gave a few symbolic compliments. At this time, an old man, even his beard and eyebrows were gray, smiled and said to Ding Wei: "The prime minister's Cuju team is very good. How much, I admire you so much, this game is not wronged." It turned out that this person is Zhang Qi, he is almost 80 years old this year, and he is already old.

"Where, where, thanks to Mr. Zhang for your humility." The two said politely.

Li Ce looked at this posture, and he understood that what Fan Xi said just now was true. This Zhang Qi really didn't have the guts to win Ding Wei. The competition just now was obviously a waste of time. It's just that this old guy has limited IQ and doesn't know how to point it out secretly. , you, Zhang Qi, let people release water, but they don't necessarily accept your favor!Because your Cuju team performed extremely badly from the very beginning, if you said that you let the water out secretly, people would think that you said that on purpose because you couldn't save face, and seeing Ding Wei's disdainful expression, they never thought that you were Let him do it on purpose, Zhang Qi, Zhang Qi, you are really confused.

During the interval between halftime, Zhao Zhen called Li Ce aside and said, "The next match is Zhao Ji's duel with a non-governmental team. Take a closer look at his strength, so you know what's going on."

Li Ce nodded and said: "Remember, I just want to go back there to watch the game. It's really too restrictive in this place, and I feel... awkward."

Zhao Zhen nodded: "Alright, you can guide our team members nearby. By the way, treat them well during dinner. Today's first game got a good start, and I will reward them!" Zhao Zhen generously Said.

"Well, Your Majesty is wise, it's just..." Li Ce's mouth twitched, with a hesitant expression.

"Just what?"

"This silver... the only 30 taels that Weichen has is already all-in." Li Ce scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.

"Oh, you can go to Han Song's to get it, and I didn't tell you to pay for the money, I think it scared you." Zhao Zhen was taken aback, and laughed.

"Mr. Han's place...these days are almost spent." Li Ce said awkwardly.

"What? The flowers are gone?" Zhao Zhen's expression was a little astonished, and his laughing expression froze for a moment. He pulled Li Ce over and said in a low voice: "I have paid him three months in advance, so this Gone in less than a month?"

"It seems that there are more than a dozen taels left, Mr. Han refuses to let go..." Li Ce said embarrassingly.

"Li Ce, my money didn't come from a strong wind! There is also a limit to the money that the Ministry of Households allocates to me every year." Zhao Zhen began to cry poorly.

Li Ce rolled his eyes and said: No way, you are an emperor, how can you still have no money to spend?Could it be that you lied to me...

Seeing his disbelief, Zhao Zhen was so angry that he just wanted to kick him, and only this kid dared to look at him with that suspicious look, and he said anxiously: "Okay, okay, don't believe me anymore, Zhen There are still a few hundred taels here, you can use some of it for now, and I will send someone to send it to you later, but you have to remember to save some flowers! It will be the Empress Dowager’s birthday in two days, and I still have to use silver.”

"I know." Li Ce looked at him in pain, fearing that he would regret it, he hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

"Li Ce, wait for a while, I will go too." It was Zhao Qin'er who said.

Li Ce's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "What are you going to do, there are a group of gentlemen there, don't lose your face as a princess."

"Bah, when did you treat me as a princess? Don't forget that this princess also bet 1000 taels of silver, which is all my net worth! You are a rascal, I don't worry, I want to keep an eye on it myself " Zhao Qin'er pouted.

Li Ce was 1 times unwilling to take her there, but she also knew Zhao Qin'er's temper. If she didn't agree, she might not know how she would deal with him, but he had no choice but to sigh and mutter: "I'm willing to follow, You still have to call me a rascal..." He waved his hand and turned around to leave, Zhao Qin'er hurriedly followed him.

The two were walking back, and one of them was walking towards each other. This man was around 40 years old, wearing a purple python robe, a face with Chinese characters, and a short beard under his jaw. There is a kingly air.

Such a powerful aura!Li Ce secretly praised.

"Uncle Ba, you're here too?" Zhao Qin'er suddenly ran up and shook the man's hand.

The man smiled slightly and said, "Yeah, Uncle Eight has been delayed by something, how is the battle going now?"

Uncle eight?Li Ce wondered, Zhao Qin'er's eighth uncle is naturally Zhao Zhen's eighth uncle, and this person is clearly a prince in a python robe. There was only one famous prince in the Renzong Dynasty, and he was also the eighth. Could this person be... eighth A good king? !Thinking of this, Li Ce was shocked. The name of the Eight Sage Kings is well known to all women and children. There are countless film and television interpretations of his deeds in later generations.

"Hey, are you stupid? Why are you standing there, this is the Eighth Prince." Seeing Li Ce's stupid look, Zhao Qin'er couldn't help being furious, this idiot would embarrass himself at critical times!

It really was him!Li Ce secretly thought, he hurried over to pay respects and said: "Oh, I have seen the Eighth Prince."

The real name of the Eight Sage Kings is Zhao Yuanyan. He is the eighth son of Song Taizong. Because he is the eighth, he is called the Eight Sage Kings.

Eight Sage King nodded slightly, he thought Li Ce was just Zhao Qin'er's follower.

"Uncle Ba, hurry up, Brother Huang still has a seat reserved for you." Zhao Qin'er said with a grin.

But the Eighth Sage King grabbed her, hesitated for a while and said, "Is Empress Dowager Liu here?"

Seeing that he was frowning, Zhao Qin'er couldn't help but smiled and said: "The Queen Mother just left, just now Zhao Ji angered the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother severely punished him."

The Baxian King seemed relieved and said: "Well, Zhao Ji's child should be disciplined. If that's the case, Bashu will go there first."

When the Eighth Sage King walked past Li Ce, Li Ce was still looking at him stupidly. The Eighth Sage King glanced at him, and strode away without saying anything.

"Tsk tsk, this demeanor, this posture, domineering!" Li Ce couldn't help sighing.

"Of course, even Ding Zhi has to respectfully address Eighth Prince when he sees Eighth Uncle!" Zhao Qin'er said proudly.

"Then why is Ding Wei still controlling the government?" Li Ce asked rhetorically.

"You don't understand this. This is a matter of our royal family. Why, do you want to inquire?" Zhao Qin'er raised her eyebrows and raised her eyebrows.

"Ha, I said, why don't you leave, you won't be able to catch up with the next game later." Li Ce hurriedly changed the topic, and said in a blink of an eye, he is not stupid, the more he knows the secrets of the royal family, the more he knows. The less the better.

Looking at his dingy back, Zhao Qin'er couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling, it turned out that this scoundrel also knew to be afraid.
