The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 435: Lose and take off

Li Chengdao drove to the Queen Mother's palace, accompanied by Wu Meiniang, and the journey was majestic.

As soon as Li Chengdao returned to the palace, the entire palace, eunuchs, eunuchs, and maids cleared away the previous gloom and became a lot brighter.

When the eunuchs in front of the Queen Mother's Palace, who had been closed for a long time, saw His Majesty's chariot, they sang loudly: "Your Majesty has arrived!"

The red door creaked open, and Zheng Guanyin was supported by two palace maids to welcome her to the door.

After seeing the great gift, they returned to the main hall and sat together. What surprised the palace maid and eunuch was that the two of them did not even talk about Li Yu's rebellion and the mutiny of the Imperial Army.

Zheng Guanyin didn't say anything, and Li Chengdao naturally didn't mention it either. This was because she believed in her own handling and her attitude was non-interference.

Li Chengdao thought that his mother would intercede for his grandson, but his mother didn't say a word, and Li Chengdao felt much more relaxed.

After drinking a cup of tea and chatting for a while, Li Chengdao resigned.

All the way to the West Qing Palace.

I heard that His Majesty was back. He had just come from the Queen Mother and was in the West Qing Palace. All the concubines in the palace came to see Li Chengdao.

"His Majesty doesn't take our sisters with him during winter hunting. The sisters stay in the palace and almost miss His Majesty!"

The girls sat together and started gossiping and laughing with each other.

Li Chengdao was always friendly among the women, so naturally these concubines were more casual.

"Yes! Your Majesty, you must reward us this time!"

Li Chengdao smiled and said: "This is easy. I am often away from home and you are bored in the palace. I will think of a plan!"

Wu Meiniang smiled and said: "Your Majesty's plan is definitely not a good thing, and you are making fun of us again!"

Li Chengdao laughed and said: "I was in the palace and came up with a game! Famous Poker!"

"Parker?"

Huyanrena said: "Did your Majesty have some new invention? Is it delicious?"

The chicken essence that she probably remembers most about Li Chengdao's invention is the first thing she thinks of when hearing about the invention is whether it tastes good or not.

Li Chengdao originally wanted to build a mahjong game to give these people something to do and stop thinking about harmful things all day long. However, although mahjong is good, it is not easy to play it right away because it is more troublesome than playing poker.

The palace maid was ordered to get a piece of paper and draw numbers and English symbols on it.

The girls gathered around, becoming more curious as they watched.

Li Chengdao drew fifty-four cards and began to teach how to play them himself.

"Your Majesty! How do you play with this thing?"

"Your Majesty is so boring!"

After everyone learned how to play the simple game, four people sat around at first.

Wu Meiniang, Queen Shande, Zheng Ran, and Yang Shuangxue played at one table, and the rest played by themselves.

The palace maids looked curious and came to join in the fun.

Li Chengdao first stated that if this brand is sold, he will lose money.

Zheng Ran pouted and said: "I am the poorest here, but I can't afford to lose. I bought chicken essence for all the money your majesty gave me, so I won't play anymore!"

"Then lose something else!"

Everyone agreed in unison, but no one had an idea about what to lose. They all stared at Li Chengdao.

"This is easy. You can take off one piece of clothing once you lose! Take off your shoes, socks, or pants. You can take off whatever you want to offset your loss!"

The maids blushed and went out quietly.

Wu Meiniang said angrily: "I know His Majesty invented this card just to make fun of our sisters!"

"Why! Don't you dare?" Li Chengdao smiled evilly.

"What if His Majesty loses?" Huyanrena said with a bold smile.

"Same! Even if I lose, I will take it off!"

The concubines covered their mouths and smiled, winking at each other. Everyone had an idea and decided to join forces to trick Li Chengdao.

"Come or not! Do you have the guts?"

"Your Majesty, if you dare, we will play with your Majesty. It's not a bad thing if you lose!"

... Li Chengdao closed the door and played in the Xiqing Palace for four hours. Naturally, the palace was full of excitement, slapstick, and teasing.

The concubines originally wanted to see Li Chengdao embarrassed, but they didn't expect that Li Chengdao was much better at cards than they were. He would win nine times out of ten. Naturally, they would lose everything, and Li Chengdao would almost lose everything.

Still lost on purpose.

By the way, I went to bed at Xiqing Palace that night.

On the second day, Li Chengdao was still a little tired, and the eunuch announced the cancellation of the court meeting, saying that His Majesty had stayed up all night reading the memorial.

After returning to the imperial study, Li Chengdao picked up the ministerial memorials that had been accumulated for many days and read a few of them. He raised his head and said, "Xuan Di Renjie!"

Di Renjie hurried into the palace to meet the emperor.

"His Majesty!"

Li Chengdao nodded and offered a seat.

"In the future, I will devote my time to Datang's creation, economic development, and several current cases. I will leave all the power to you. I will see the results within three months!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

"Ginseng, you have been to Luye Prince's Mansion before! You had a private transaction with Li Yu, is this possible?"

Di Renjie was shocked and fell to the ground: "You are wronged, Your Majesty, this is my power and friendship plan. I never dare to be disloyal to Your Majesty! Your Majesty is aware of it!"

Li Chengdao smiled coldly: "I will watch whether you are loyal or not!"

Di Renjie wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He was extremely smart. Seeing Li Chengdao's statement, he might be putting pressure on himself.

If this case is not handled well, it will naturally mean that there is some private deal with King Lu Ye. If it is handled well, it can be ignored.

This is the art of an emperor controlling his ministers. Although Di Renjie understood it, he still felt a lot of pressure.

The power of the Holy Spirit is unpredictable.

"How are Feng Li, Xu Mo, Jia Xu and others doing?"

"I sent people to investigate. General Feng Li has been killed. Xu Mojia Xu escaped on the road and his whereabouts are still unknown. I am sending more people to look for him."

"The Metallurgical Bureau cannot be left without an owner for a day. It is better to ask Your Majesty to temporarily assign a minister to take charge of the matter, so as not to miss His Majesty's important events!"

It's a pity that Feng Li has been loyal to himself all his life, but he didn't expect that he would die in the hands of Li Yu in the end.

"Tell Ran Min that Li Yu is going to Chengde and ask him to escort him personally. He will set off today! Don't show off!"

Li Chengdao meant to ask Ran Min to escort Li Yu away from Chang'an, but he couldn't let anyone know. This was because he wanted to protect his son, and Di Renjie naturally understood.

If anyone knew that Li Yu left Chang'an so safely and how many people made trouble, at least there would be a lot of memorials.

Wei Zheng would not let go of this opportunity to speak out.

It will be a headache then.

"Is there any progress in the Dark Cloud case and the assassination case?"

"I dare not say anything for the time being. I will reply within three months!"

Di Renjie withdrew, and Li Chengdao began to check the secret report sent by the shadow guard.

The Shadow Guards have detailed reports on everyone who participated in this rebellion.

It involves many elites, nobles, and business tycoons.

This was originally expected by Li Chengdao. These people are also the people who are most afraid of his new policies.

From this incident, these people have been exposed as a group of unenlightened people.

But there are so many involved that it is obviously impossible to deal with them all.

For the future prosperity and modernization of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengdao also had to take action on some people who had great influence on Lord Li.

The first is Changsun Wuji!

Changsun Wuji has been following Li Shimin since he was a child. He is his right-hand man and confidant. He originally thought that he had changed his mind and came to his side, but he didn't expect that it is difficult for a country to change its nature.

He had been by his side for many years, and he might have done many things that no one noticed. Thinking of this, Li Chengdao felt a little chilled.

Could it be that his loyalty, his entry into the palace with his eldest grandson Wugou and his eldest grandson Qulu were all part of his plan to win his trust?
