Datang: I am so happy to marry a disfigured princess!

Chapter 154 A strange gamble begins
"Ah? There is such a thing. If Lin's consort can't solve the horse problem within three days, his house will be ransacked?"

"You want to behead your head? Is that really the case?"

Hou Junji said with a serious face: "This is what His Majesty said personally. How can it be false?"

At this moment, Dou Jingdou, Lu Kuan and others were all confused. Your Majesty actually forced Lin Heng like this for the sake of Korea?
"The people of Korea are certainly hateful, but to lose a consort because of this is a bit ridiculous, isn't it?"

Hou Junji said otherwise: "Since Lin's consort is the one who made the promise, he must be confident. Your Majesty's move must be intended to stimulate Lin's consort's potential, just to conquer Korea in one fell swoop."

"But if Prince Consort Lin can't do it, is this really the case?"

"Your Majesty is so eloquent, how can you joke?"

Changsun Wuji heard the conversation here, which seemed to be about killing Lin Heng's entire family, so he came over curiously.

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh, it was Prince Consort Lin who said that he wanted to solve the problem of horse loss. If he couldn't solve it, His Majesty would confiscate his house and behead him. His Majesty said it himself, yes."

Changsun Wuji frowned, Lin Heng was going to be chopped down?
Didn't he just make such a big move... After thinking for a moment, he realized that Hou Junji and others might have misinterpreted His Majesty's meaning.

However, Lin Heng seemed to really intend to solve the horseshoe issue, and he was very interested in this matter.

The attack on Goryeo was a unanimous decision of the entire country. Although he wanted to kill Lin Heng, if he could make any contribution to this matter, it would be considered a great achievement.

However, Changsun Wuji still has no hope whether this matter can be resolved.

There is no reason, it is too difficult. If the loss of horses could be solved easily, how could it have troubled the country for so many years?
Besides, it was three days, which was ridiculous.

Changsun Wuji twitched the corner of his mouth, obviously not believing it.

Dou Jing, who was on the side, saw Changsun Wuji in this state, and couldn't help but shook her head: "Lin's promise was too much. He can take care of the horse within three days. How can it be so easy?"

"It's fine to be young and frivolous, but when it comes to this matter, it's no wonder His Majesty would say that."

"Hey, I don't have any hope."

Wang Jingchuan, who was on the side, spoke loudly because he angrily criticized the Korean people for riding horses in the street yesterday. He was also qualified to approach these higher-level dignitaries in the court.

"I think Prince Consort Lin can accomplish this."

Doulu Kuan, the Minister of Rites, shook his head: "Lin's consort is certainly very talented and capable, but it may be difficult to solve this matter."

Dou Jing laughed at the side and said: "You have been in contact with Lin's Consort for a period of time, so you will naturally feel this way. How can you be so relaxed?"

When Wang Jingchuan saw that everyone didn't believe it, he became even more dissatisfied.

After all, I have spent some time with Lin Heng, and I know that this person will never speak easily. As long as he agrees to do something, he will complete it perfectly, whether it is sending an envoy to the Turks or providing disaster relief.

"If you don't believe it, you might as well make a bet."

After all, Wang Jingchuan came from a humble background, and when he spoke to them, the current ministers of the court, and even Zuo Pushe, he was a little reckless, and many of them would not agree at ordinary times.

But at this time, I became interested.

They don't gamble money or anything like that, they just treat guests to dinner.

"Then Tianranlou will be the host, and the four of us... uh, do you want Zuo Pushe to come along?"

Changsun Wuji left without saying a word.

Boring people do boring things, which leads to boring things.

He didn't have the time to play around.

However, everyone still participated in such a small game. If Wang Jingchuan won, the four of them would take turns treating Tianranlou, otherwise Wang Jingchuan would treat four of them.

It's a small fight, just for fun.

The few people returned home laughing, hoping that Lin Heng could develop this thing. Once the horse problem was solved, it would at least increase the Tang army's combat strength by [-]%, at least to attack Goryeo.

The news spread like wildfire and soon caused a commotion in Chang'an.

The key is now that Lin Heng is so prominent in Chang'an. He was praised as the most talented person in Chang'an with a poem at yesterday's poetry meeting. Will he be beheaded today?The common people are very happy to watch this kind of thing.

"I heard that Lin's consort will be beheaded if he doesn't solve the horse's problem within three days!"

"Huh? Lin's consort is going to be beheaded?"

"What, it's going to be beheaded in three days, why don't you ask me to behead you in front of the Suzaku Gate?"

When Lin Heng himself learned the news, his mood exploded.

Am I going to have my house confiscated and beheaded?
What a hateful rumor, how did it spread!
However, Lin Heng had no intention of dealing with that kind of thing, and instead tried his best to improve the drawings.

Well, I guess this one is just right, you can type it out and give it a try.

Somewhere in Chang'an, Zhao Zhe, a scholar from Henan, is now very famous. Many officials have already recruited him, and even Fang Xuanling just invited him to visit the government.

Zhao Zhe couldn't help feeling a little emotional. Thanks to Lin Consort's tricks, he was invited by the prime minister to come to Chang'an and even became famous at the poetry festival!

In fact, to put it bluntly, this has nothing to do with Lin Heng. The main thing is that he has excellent abilities.

If there is some connection, it is because he spoke for Lin Heng at the poetry meeting and made those powerful people favor him, which made Zhao Zhe what he is today.

But he was still very grateful to Lin Heng.

As for the current commotion in Chang'an, he didn't care at all.

Will Prince Consort Lin be beheaded?That's nonsense. They have just finished relieving the disaster, and your reward has not yet been implemented. It's too ridiculous to behead the horses just because they can't solve the problem.

Anyway, let’s go visit the house minister first.
In the Fenglai Building, a group of aristocratic families gathered here to discuss and signal.

The theme is naturally Lin Heng.

Since Lin Heng invited the family to provide disaster relief, the family has made a lot of money during this period. In two months, it almost earned the family's annual income.

It can be imagined how huge this income is, and it also has the right to sell Liuli that Lin Heng promised, split [-]-[-]. Even if several major families divide the sales area in the north, the benefits will be huge.

Nowadays, the aristocratic family realizes that Lin Heng is their God of Wealth, a money tree!
How could they easily miss such a person who could make the family a lot of money?
But since Lin Heng came back from the disaster relief work, he almost cut off his relationship with the family, which made them feel a little pity.

Lin Heng seemed to have always rejected the aristocratic family, not even because of the reason he was targeted by the aristocratic family before. They couldn't figure out the reason.

The question now is, how to get closer to Lin Heng as much as possible and make Lin Heng theirs. As for those who make paper, print, etc., if Lin Heng is theirs, doesn't he also belong to them?

They no longer seek to master technology, they only want to cooperate with Lin Heng on a deeper level. If it is a business, it will make a lot of money!

"Tsk, Prince Consort Lin seems to be a bit high-profile these days. The Qingyu case has just been solved, and today there is another horse problem that needs to be solved. How should I start?"

"The horse problem is extremely difficult to solve, and I'm afraid it won't be easy for Prince Consort Lin either. How about providing some help?"

This was immediately rejected: "He is so secretive about the family now. He must have some grudge against the family. I'm afraid that even if we are willing to help, Prince Consort Lin may not accept it."

"Then how?"

Cui Hong thought for a moment: "I'll see if I can have some communication with Lin Heng if I have an opportunity, and try my best to give him some benefits to get closer to him."

"By the way, Uncle Shi, I heard that several ministers from both the government and the public have been betting recently on whether Lin Heng can solve the horse problem. Should we also make a bet?"

"Winning or losing, Prince Consort Lin will get benefits."

Cui Hong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately asked: "That's a way, but do you think Lin Heng can solve this problem?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone shook their heads, obviously not believing it.

"Then let's increase the risk of losing the bet. If Lin Heng can't solve this problem, we can just take this opportunity to give him the money we earned. After all, it's him who is betting, so he has no reason to refuse. "

When everyone heard it, it seemed possible!

"Then we will do it..."
