The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 68

Dragon Soul's new book "Da Tang: From Generalissimo to Emperor" has officially started serialization, and I hope everyone will come and read it.

When he heard that Li Tai wanted to bet, Pei Ji agreed without even thinking about it.But when Li Tai said the bet, Pei Ji couldn't help being taken aback.Because Li Tai actually made a bet of 5000 taels of silver.

"Why can't the majestic Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty not even get 5000 taels? Or maybe he feels that he has no possibility of winning. Since he feels that he is doomed, why bother to jump out and trouble the king?" Li said. Tai still looked at Pei Ji with a smile on his face.

Pei Ji gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and then said to Li Tai: "Although 5000 taels of silver is already my entire property investigation. But I don't believe that you, young Wei Wang, can really know so many words." .So I agreed to this bet. It’s just that when the king of Wei loses, it’s better not to lose money.” Pei Ji said to Li Tai.

If Li Tai's bet is a few hundred taels, maybe Pei Ji really thinks that Li Tai can know so many characters.But Li Tai made a bet of 5000 taels of silver, which gave Pei Ji a feeling.That was Li Tai's bluff, and he was going to use a large amount of bets to scare himself away.

That's why Pei Ji was willing to gamble with Li Tai, and said to other civil and military officials: "If you don't believe in King Wei, you can know so many characters. You can come to me to raise your bet. I believe His Highness King Wei I will accept it too." Pei Ji said with a smile to the civil and military officials.

"Since Mr. Pei has such a good mood, it's better to let the emperor be the guarantee. Let's take a big bet. As long as someone buys what I lose, I, Li Tai, are willing to accept it all. Once I, Li Tai, really lose the bet, I am willing." I will lose my family and property, and I will repay this bet twice. I wonder if Prime Minister Pei is willing to be like me." Li Tai saluted Li Shimin, and then said to Pei Ji.

"As long as someone is willing to buy the king of Wei to win, if the king of Wei wins, I am willing to go bankrupt and double the amount to repay the bet." Pei Ji also said to Li Tai not to be outdone.

"Since the Prime Minister and the King of Wei have such an interest, then my old Cheng will join in the fun. I will buy His Royal Highness the King of Wei to win 1000 taels." Cheng Yaojin came out with a smile and said.

Then Qin Shubao, Yu Chigong, and Xu Maogong all stood up.He expressed his willingness to buy Li Tai to win, and the bets were all 1000 taels.They didn't believe that Li Tai in front of them could really know so many words.It's that they have heard it countless times, and the children in their own family have told them about it.No matter what decision Li Tai will make at the Golden Temple tomorrow.Let them support Li Tai without hesitation.

Although they don't think their children are reliable.But such repeated exhortations had to attract their attention.They felt that Li Tai was definitely up to something, but the target didn't know which unlucky guy it was.

Of course, there are also people who think that Li Tai will lose, and there are far more people who think that Li Tai will lose than those who think that he will win.For a while, more or less, they all bought Li Tai's losing bets from Pei Ji.

In the end, almost all the officials in the Golden Temple participated in it.A certain amount of money has been bet more or less.Originally, Li Shimin also wanted to take this opportunity to make a bet.But I am the emperor after all, there are some things that I can just think about, but I can't really do it.

"Today Wei Wang Li Tai made a bet with Prime Minister Pei Ji, and I will be the mediator. Now, the one who sells Wei Wang Li Tai wins only 1000 taels, including the 5000 taels that Li Tai had in the bet. The one who buys Pei Ji wins as much as 520 taels." Six thousand and 5000 taels, of course including the [-] taels in Pei Ji's bet. I declare that the bet has now officially begun." Li Shimin announced to Li Tai and Pei Ji with the statistics calculated by the eunuch.

"Father, my son is going to take advantage of this bet. At the same time, I will show everyone the benefits of pinyin marking. So I hope my father will prepare paper for my son. After a while, the prime minister will write the words on the paper, and my son will not only write When he reads it out, he will also fill in the pinyin." Li Tai saluted Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded, then waved to the eunuch beside him.He saw the eunuch leave quickly, taking a wooden frame and a box of blank paper with him after a while.There are also a series of utensils such as the Four Treasures of the Study.

"Since the king of Wei said it, then I won't be polite." After Pei Ji finished speaking, he picked up the writing brush on the side, and dipped the inkstone fully in ink.He wrote a large character on the white paper.

It can be said that Pei Ji still has some attainments on calligraphy paper.Writing words can be done in one go.A scorpion appeared in front of everyone.This is a relatively uncommon word, and even few people present here recognize it.

But Li Tai was very calm, and came to the words written by Pei Ji.He also picked up the brush and dipped it in the ink.Then on top of this character, the pinyin of jī was written.

Then Li Tai put down the brush in his hand, and said: "This word is pronounced jī, which originally refers to mashed ginger, garlic, leeks, etc., and also refers to mixing and blending. This word is found in "Zhuangzi·The Great Master" and "Zhuangzi "Knowing the North Journey" and other documents are recorded."

This time Pei Ji became a little uneasy, he never thought that Li Tai could recognize such an uncommon word.Even the implication and source are very accurate.This has completely exceeded Pei Ji's expectations.But what can Pei Ji do now that the matter has come to this point, he can only bite the bullet and write another word.

After looking at it, Li Tai was the same as before, and put a pinyin on the word again.Then he continued: "爩, pronounced yù, with a left-right structure, used to describe smoke coming out, smoke coming out, and smoke. The frequency of use is also low."

Then Pei Ji wrote Li Tai's reading, and more than half an hour passed, and Li Tai was right every time.This made Pei Ji feel powerless.Because he knew these uncommon characters, even Li Tai could recognize them, and those regular characters didn't have the slightest meaning when they were written.

So Pei Ji stopped writing, but said to Li Shimin with a mournful expression: "Your Majesty, I don't know many characters. So I don't have many characters. Let's test the king of Wei again. It's better to let everyone present Try writing a few words."

Pei Ji's idea is very simple, that is, if he can't do it himself, he must gather everyone's strength.I still don't believe it, could it be that Li Tai is really as he said, he can't know [-] or [-] Chinese characters.

So other people came to the stage unceremoniously, but when they had just finished writing their words.Li Tai will be proficient at marking these words in pinyin.And the meaning is exactly the same as the source.

"My dear friends, it's not that I speak for the king of Wei. It's that you can't help him at all. You just admit defeat at this point, so as not to entangle you like this again, it will be even more embarrassing." Li Shimin stood up and said with a big smile.

At this time, Li Shimin was so happy that his son was in front of all civil and military officials.No matter which father he is, he would feel extremely honored to show his face like this.Even if Li Shimin is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he is no exception.
