They never imagined that just now they thought they had the chance to win, so how could the situation be reversed in an instant?
Li Er not only said that the queen gave birth to a prince, but also directly canonized him as the king of Jin, which was really hard for them to accept.
There was a patriarch of an aristocratic family, unwilling to lose ten thousand taels of gold, so he couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what happened to the baby girl?"
Li Er waited for someone to ask about this...
446 Announcing the World
In Chang'an City, Xuanyang Square, as soon as the gate of the square was opened early in the morning, there was an endless stream of carriages driving into the square.
The old soldier guarding the square gate was surprised, not sure what the trouble was?This Xuanyangfang is not the east and west cities, so why so many horse-drawn carriages?Could it be that a mansion in the workshop has to be relocated?
When the four-wheeled carriage convoy passed the Wannian county government office, the government servants had sharp eyes. They saw Li Wangyou on horseback at a glance, and hurried forward to salute.
"Hello Huxian Bo'an, is Huxian Bo busy this early in the morning? Do you need my help?"
Li Wangyou smiled and waved his hands: "It's okay, a few days ago, I made a bet at Yongyi Casino, and today I'm going to the casino to collect the gold and copper coins that I won from betting."
What he said made the yamen servants all stupid. Those dozens of carriages were all going to carry copper coins?
This Huxian Boguo is really generous. How much copper coins must be loaded with so many carriages?
A shrewd yamen servant immediately remembered the uproar in Chang'an City.It was the Huxian uncle in front of him who bet heavily, 1 taels of gold, that His Royal Highness the Queen gave birth to a prince yesterday.
See what Uncle Hu means, did he win?
Tsk tsk, bet 1 taels of gold, how much money do you have to win from Yongyi Casino?No wonder you have to bring so many carriages to carry them today.
Hearing the words, these yamen servants didn't even care about being on duty at the gate of the yamen, and they immediately led the way enthusiastically.
It's rare to see such a grand occasion!
Although those gold and copper coins are not his own, it is good to be able to take a look.This kind of grand event of seeing tens of thousands of taels of gold and copper coins at a time, they can brag with others for a lifetime, and fools don't watch the excitement.
Li Wangyou didn't object either, so a group of people like this came to the door of Yongyi Gambling House in mighty force.
The clerk of the gambling house was startled when he saw this scene, and quickly turned around and ran into the gambling house.
Shopkeeper Wang who got the news hurried out, and was also taken aback by the battle. He couldn't figure out what the meaning of this Hu County uncle leading a group of yamen servants and the carriage was.
He had already been notified by Wang Renyou, and he knew that this shocking gamble would be won by wealthy families like them.
It is true that Empress Changsun gave birth yesterday, but the one she gave birth was not a prince, but a princess.
That being the case, according to the agreement between the two parties, the gambling house will win.The 1 taels of gold that Li Wangyou bet on was not named Li, but Wang.
Then what is the meaning of this county uncle bringing people to the door at this time?Could it be that he lost a large sum of gold, became angry from embarrassment, and wanted to mess things up?
Shopkeeper Wang settled down, and cupped his hands at Li Wangyou: "May I ask Uncle Hu, what is your business here today? Is there anything I can do for you? But do you want to gamble a little more?"
Li Wangyou smiled and shook his head: "No, so-and-so is here to receive gold today! That day so-and-so bet 1 taels of gold, betting that His Royal Highness the Queen gave birth to a prince yesterday. You bet that you pay five for one bet, and you should lose to a certain 5 taels." Two gold, hurry up and count. I still have something to do, I can't afford to delay."
Nani?Shopkeeper Wang looked at Li Wangyou, as if looking at another lunatic.
It is obvious that Her Highness the Empress gave birth to a princess, how dare you talk nonsense and say it is a prince?
"Why did Bo Hu County say that? Her Royal Highness gave birth to a princess yesterday, but we won the bet!" Shopkeeper Wang argued hastily.
Li Wangyou looked at him with interest: "Oh? How did you know about this?"
"This... this..." His rhetorical question left shopkeeper Wang a little speechless.
Li Er blocked the palace yesterday and did not disclose the news to the public. It stands to reason that he, as the shopkeeper of the gambling shop, should not know about such extremely secret royal affairs.
"That's my guess." Shopkeeper Wang could only reason indiscriminately, he couldn't say that the owner told him.
However, Li Wangyou raised his head and laughed loudly: "Unfortunately, you guessed wrong. Yesterday, Her Highness the Empress gave birth to a prince. Therefore, according to the betting contract, your casino needs to pay a certain 5 taels of gold!"
His words made shopkeeper Wang's face darken, and he felt that Li Wangyou was here to make trouble today.
"How did Uncle Huxian know this?"
Li Wangyou stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers very chicly: "It's very simple, because a certain person was in the Taiji Palace yesterday, how could he not know? Yesterday, Her Royal Highness the Queen gave birth to a prince. There is nothing wrong with that. Shopkeeper Wang, Is it better to quickly get someone to bring out the gold and count it, I don’t have time to grind my teeth with you. Or is it you Yongyi Gambling Shop, if you lose, you don’t want to admit it? Humph, if that’s the case, then I should go to the Tai Chi Hall and ask the saint to make the decision .”
What he said was so blocked that shopkeeper Wang almost didn't bring it up.
From Shopkeeper Wang's point of view, this county uncle is really deceiving people too much!
But he couldn't refute Li Wangyou's words, after all, Li Wangyou said that he was in the Tai Chi Palace yesterday, so he couldn't answer those words.
Shopkeeper Wang reacted quickly, and rolled his eyes: "What is Hu Xianbo talking about? If our gambling shop loses, we will naturally have to pay according to the bet. But Your Royal Highness, whether the prince or the princess will be born, it is up to you There is no evidence to say it, let’s wait for the news from the official.”
Hearing this, Li Wangyou raised his head to look at the sky, and nodded his head: "Well, what you said, shopkeeper Wang, is also reasonable. If so, this is not an unreasonable person. Let's wait and see, I think it will come soon , there will be news."
"Uncle Huxian, why don't you wait for the news from the official family to exchange the gold again? You see, the sun is so bright that it won't be beautiful if it shines on you, a nobleman." Shopkeeper Wang didn't want Li Wangyou to continue Blocked at the door of the gambling house, he could only persuade him.
Li Wangyou, on the other hand, smiled: "It's okay, I can rest under the shade of this tree."
After he finished speaking, he got off his horse and asked Niu Wu to lead people to the Shushui shop in Xuanyangfang to buy iced drinks and give them to the farmers driving the carriages and the government servants in Wannian County.
Li Wangyou sat under a big tree in front of the gambling house, waiting leisurely.There are shade trees above the head to shade the sun, and there are ice-cold drinks to drink, which is very pleasant.
Shopkeeper Wang was sitting on the wax, and he didn't want to leave at this time, or if he didn't leave, he could only stay with Li Wangyou and wait at the gate of the gambling house.
He cursed secretly in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
Shopkeeper Wang could only reach out to recruit a member of the Wang clan, and whispered a few words to him.
The members of the Wang clan naturally took orders and ran towards the direction of Tai Chi Palace.
Shopkeeper Wang wanted to find his patriarch, Wang Renyou, but he also knew that it was still the time of court, and he thought the patriarch was still in the Taiji Hall and had not come down.
When he was depressed, he saw another Yamen servant from Wannian County running over not far away, holding a scroll of notice in his hand.
"Yes, there is an edict! The sage issued an edict and announced it to the world!" The yamen servant ran out of breath, and before he came close, he yelled loudly.
Hearing this, Li Wangyou couldn't help showing a smile on the corner of his mouth...
447 Pointing at Sang and Scolding Huai
When the yamen servant of Wannian County read aloud in public that Li Er canonized his newly born prince Zhizhi as King Jin's decree, the treasurer Wang was completely dumbfounded.
"This... this, how is this possible? The queen really gave birth to a prince yesterday? This is impossible, absolutely impossible..." Shopkeeper Wang murmured, unwilling to believe it, and did not dare to believe it.
Li Wangyou stood up slowly, dusted off the dust on his body, and looked at Shopkeeper Wang with a playful face: "What? Shopkeeper Wang doesn't even believe the edict of a saint? This is an edict announced to the world, and you also Dare to doubt? What are your intentions!"
"Ah? No, no, I dare not! I, I just..." Shopkeeper Wang didn't know what to say for a while.
