This is not the Datang I am familiar with

It seems that His Majesty enjoys playing this mahjong, presumably every day concubines and concubines from the palace will come to Daming Palace to rub a few mahjong with His Majesty.

When the tea and snacks were served, Chen Fang looked at His Majesty's complexion. At this time, Li Zhi did not look like a patient. His face was ruddy and his limbs were vigorous, but he was much more energetic than he looked.

Chen Fang was secretly delighted that when His Majesty recovered, some people would not cling to him, and every time he was messed with, he couldn't move, but it was not what Chen Fang thought.

Looking at His Majesty's good complexion, I only want His Majesty to live a long life and have a safe body. It is best to be able to guard the nine daughters at night, so as to accept the empress's thoughts.

Thinking like this, but I didn't realize that I felt a little bit reluctant, and thought carefully about the past with the empress again.

Chen Fang secretly sighed, there are some people, once there is an intersection, they know that there will only be disadvantages, but they still can't forget it.

The empress is the most beautiful and beautiful woman in the world, how could he forget Fang Chen.If it is true what Yiyang said, he is a pervert, the kind who is full of perverts.

But at this time, I still hope that His Majesty can accept your empress's thoughts, and I still like to live a free life.Sleeping with women, he likes to make decisions by himself, rather than looking at other people's faces.

But with the empress, she must be satisfied no matter what.Chen Fang would never dare to disobey what the empress wanted.

Although the empress later let him do as much as he wanted, but to be honest, Chen Fang dared not, she always put the empress' comfort as the first task.

This is to serve the superior, no matter what you do, you must satisfy the other party.

Accompanying women, Chen Fang is most afraid of this.

This didn't suit Chen Fang's mind at all.

After tasting tea and having some snacks, His Majesty first talked to the two Highnesses, which were all family matters. His Majesty said it calmly, and the two Highnesses also said it with a faint smile on their faces.

His Majesty suddenly pointed to the big table in the inner hall.

"It just so happens that my son-in-law and my two beloved daughters are here, let's have a chat with me!"

Chen Fang was a little dizzy, hand talk usually talks about go, go talk with hand, your Majesty is fine, directly put mahjong on the head.

However, His Majesty's golden words, if you say it's a hand talk, it's a hand talk.

In the future, this mahjong will become a four-handed discussion.

Uh, don't dare to think about it, this sentence will be misleading.

Chapter 340

At this time, when they arrived at the inner hall, the four of them sat down. His Majesty rolled the dice first, and unexpectedly rolled a nine at random.

Ninth Five-Year Honor, His Majesty can even throw the dice at will to throw the emperor's appearance.

Starting to draw cards, the maid over there stood behind her, fanning her fan lightly, her every rhythm was well grasped.

"Your Majesty, the chilled watermelon is ready, do you want to serve it now?"

At this time, another young palace lady came in.

Chen Fang looked at the two serving maids, and all the maids on His Majesty's side had changed. He didn't notice it just now, but now he noticed.

When I came here a few times before, the maids here were all older and poor-looking.

As for the reason, Chen Fang also understood that His Majesty was not easy to get close to women before, which would hurt the dragon's body, so the empress replaced all the maids around His Majesty who were old and decrepit.

Now they are all young and beautiful, with a slim body. It is obvious that His Majesty's health has indeed improved a lot.His Majesty probably used these maids before. Li Zhi liked to play with court ladies, but he was famous. The three eldest sons were all born to court ladies, which is enough to explain everything.

As for the emperor, the women in the palace, apart from their blood relatives, can be used at will, which is enviable just thinking about it.

Chen Fang also wants to live like this, how beautiful it is.

"Well, let's play later, son-in-law, eat watermelon first, it's chilled, it's the best way to quench your thirst in summer."

Li Zhi left the table, Chen Fang and the two princesses hurriedly followed, naturally what His Majesty said, he did as he wanted.

"You went and took the big money I prepared."

Li Zhi picked up a tooth of watermelon and gave instructions to the maid beside him.

"Yes, servant girl, go get it now!"

Chen Fang and Yiyang Gao'an also ate watermelon. Iced watermelon is indeed a good thing in this season.

Watermelons at this time are not like later generations, they are everywhere.The current watermelons are all brought in with great difficulty from the Northern Han Dynasty. Most people let alone eat them, they are all fresh when they see them. It is a luxury for those wealthy people to eat them once.

In this palace, you can eat whatever you want, after all, the best in this era naturally follows the royal family first.

I heard that His Majesty also asked people to plant some watermelons after the New Year, but it seems that they didn't grow well, probably because they didn't know how to do it.

After eating a bite of watermelon, Chen Fang saw two maids in the palace working hard to bring back the money.

Datang money generally refers to Kaiyuan Tongbao, which was made in imitation of the Han five baht during the Tang Dynasty.Kaiyuan Tongbao is non-annual money, and has nothing to do with Tang Xuanzong's Kaiyuan year.

Generally, Kaiyuan Tongbao weighs one coin, and every ten weighs one tael.

Each Kaiyuan Tongbao is equivalent to about four grams in the weight unit of later generations.

However, the usual money carried by these two maids is obviously not Kaiyuan Tongbao, which is much larger than Kaiyuan Tongbao.

However, Chen Fang also knew this coin, it was the Qianfengquan treasure coin minted by His Majesty today, and it was also the second coin minted by the Tang Dynasty.

Each piece of Qianfengquanbao money is equivalent to about [-] grams in the measurement unit of later generations, which is obviously far heavier than the [-] grams of Kaiyuan Tongbao circulating in the Tang Dynasty, so it is also called big money.

At that time, when His Majesty cast this coin, he wanted to use it to replace Kaiyuan Tongbao, with one worth ten.

However, due to the confusion of the currency system, merchants resisted, but not much money was minted, which was basically abolished.

Speaking of it, it was a small mistake of His Majesty.

Afterwards, His Majesty said that Gao Zu cast Kaiyuan Tongbao, but Taizong did not mint new coins and continued to use them, but he wanted to mint new coins.

Obviously, His Majesty has some concerns about casting Qianfengquanbao money.

At this time, Kaiyuan Tongbao was still circulating in the Tang Dynasty, and His Majesty also personally said that Kaiyuan Tongbao is the law of all ages.

It means that there is no need to mint new money in the future, just use Kaiyuan Tongbao.

Kaiyuan Tongbao was indeed the currency of the Tang Dynasty with the longest circulation time in the original history.

The usual money that these two maids carried was a total of one thousand coins, weighing about [-] kilograms, which was indeed heavy enough, no wonder it was so hard to carry.

You must know that the large barrels of drinking water sold in supermarkets in later generations only weighed four liters and weighed about four kilograms.This usual money is about four and a half barrels of drinking water.

At this time, the two maids brought the money in and loosened the cowhide ropes that tied the money together. The thousand pieces of Qianfeng Quanbao money were divided into four parts and placed on the mahjong table.

At this time, the iced watermelon had also been eaten, and His Majesty walked to the mahjong table, but did not sit down, but took a Qianfengquanbao coin and held it in his hand.

The money is huge, with a diameter of 33 mm, far larger than Kaiyuan Tongbao. Li Zhi played with it a few times, but looked at Chen Fang.

"My son-in-law, do you know why I left these Qianfengquan treasures?"

Li Zhi suddenly looked at Chen Fang and asked.

"Your Majesty's mind, how can I guess it."

"It's okay to guess, here are all family members, and there are no outsiders, all three of you talk about it!"

Li Zhi said something at this time, but asked his two daughters and son-in-law to talk about why he kept these Qianfengquan treasures that were basically abolished.

Here, Gao An had already scratched his head, and Yi Yang also felt that it was difficult to guess, but he looked at his son-in-law.

As for Chen Fang, he also pinched a Qianfengquanbao coin at this time. Obviously, this coin is often played with by people, and the corners are very smooth. The characters inside are bright, and there is no rust on the surface.

Copper coins that are often not used will inevitably develop copper rust, but this money is like this, which shows that it is often held in the hand.

"Father, let me guess first!"

"Well, Gao An, you go first."

"Father kept the money for some thought, after all, it was the only coin that Father ever minted."

"My An'er has grown up too, so what you said is right."

Li Zhi praised Gao An, and Gao An smiled happily.

Li Zhi looked at his eldest daughter and son-in-law at this time.

"Which of you two will speak first?"

"Your Highness, please!"

"Father, Yiyang thinks that Father kept these coins for his own thoughts, and secondly, to keep himself alert at all times."

Chen Fang looked at his daughter-in-law, she really dared to say it.But what the daughter-in-law said is true, His Majesty must have kept the money to alert himself.

At this time Li Zhi looked at Chen Fang.

"My son-in-law, tell me what I am always alert to myself?"

Chen Fang was distressed, looked at Li Zhi, and then at Yiyang. His Majesty gave himself this problem.

That's all, since His Majesty asked, you can't pretend to be deaf and dumb.

And His Majesty also said before, it's just family gossip, but don't worry too much.

"Your Majesty, as I know, after the Qianfeng Quanbao coins were minted, they flowed into the market, which caused confusion in the currency system of the Tang Dynasty, and many merchants complained incessantly."

"This minting of coins was a mistake for His Majesty. His Majesty kept these Qianfengquan treasures, but as Emperor Taizong said, history can be used as a mirror to understand gains and losses. Your Majesty used this Qianfengquan treasure Always be alert to yourself, don't..."

Chen Fang originally planned to say not to make this mistake again, but after all, this is His Majesty, so he couldn't speak, he hesitated there.

"Old horses make mistakes, people always make mistakes, even I am no exception."

Seeing that Chen Fang hesitated, Li Zhi said something frankly.

Chapter 341 I didn't expect the lion to open his mouth

"If you don't hide your mistakes, the world's wise king is not as good as your majesty."

Li Zhi smiled, accepted Chen Fang's flattery, but didn't say anything more, and slapped the Qianfengquanbao coin in his hand on the table.

"My son-in-law, let's talk for a few rounds!"

The sieve has already been thrown just now, but there is no need to start over at this time. His Majesty just took the mahjong, and Chen Fang revealed the cards one by one.

It is good to win and lose rules, at this time the place is getting lively, after a few rounds, His Majesty always wins.His Majesty's Zhuang is simply not coming down.

Gao An played for a few rounds, but sweat gradually formed on his anxious forehead.

Looking at my sister-in-law and the son-in-law, they have always looked leisurely, especially the son-in-law. At this time, he is playing cards in a leisurely manner, and he still seems to be holding the ball when he loses.

The Qianfengquan treasure money in front of His Majesty gradually piled up, while others' money gradually decreased.

Chen Fang looked at Gao An. After all, this girl is too young. She wants to win while playing with His Majesty.

When I looked at Yiyang, I saw Yiyang looking at him with the same expression.

The eyes of the two intertwined, and they naturally understood each other's thoughts.

There, His Majesty knocked down the bamboo plaque in front of him, but His Majesty laughed.

"My son-in-law, I have never lost a game of mahjong since I played it. Occasionally, I would lose a game or two, but generally I won. Today's card is even better, and I haven't lost a game!"

Li Zhi was overjoyed, and started crackling the bases again.

"Your Majesty is so powerful, even playing with these gadgets is far behind."

"Father, you don't know how to let us!"

Yi Yang pouted lightly, and Chen Fang looked at her, sure enough, the eldest princess spoke like this, but she acted more vividly.

Then I saw Li Zhi, His Majesty was playing cards, it was really difficult to lose, there were four people at this table, except Gao An who was ignorant, and himself and Yi Yang were feeding cards to His Majesty.

Winning or losing at the poker table is a trivial matter, but His Majesty's happiness is a major matter.

The other concubines played with His Majesty, and they didn't want to please His Majesty, who really wanted His Majesty to lose ugly.

In this palace, there are people with exquisite minds, like His Highness An, I'm afraid it's rare.

After several more rounds, Gao An pushed the bamboo tile in front of him, heaved a sigh of relief, and finally won a hand.

The poker table gradually became lively, and His Majesty was talking to the three of them.

According to Chinese tradition, there are three places where it is easiest to listen to the truth: the bed, the wine table and the card table.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has ordered the Shangyi Caiyi from the Shangyi Bureau to come to the Tang Workshop. Does Your Majesty know about this?"

As he spoke, Chen Fang gradually changed the topic to serious matters.

"Well, Mei Niang told me, Dongfeng!"

"Red, Your Majesty..."
