"Congratulations to the left prime minister, I got the courtesan Huanuer!" Qi Dang smiled and read out the name on the note. While Zhao Hai sighed, a young and beautiful lady next to him suddenly burst into tears and whimpered her tears.

"I'm back!" Zhao Hai rubbed his hands and reached into the pottery jar, stirred it back and forth for half a minute, and finally took out a ball of paper and handed it to Shen Gongyan next to him.

Shen Gongyan opened it and looked at it and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Marquis Jiancheng, the courtesan lady Su Xiaoma!"

"I'm arrested by the left!" An old man wearing a brocade robe and gray-haired hair was similar to Zhao Hai, smiling and bowing to Chen Xu.

"Okay!" Chen Xu nodded slightly and reached into the pottery jar to get a piece of paper. He hesitated for a moment and did not take it out. Instead, he smiled and said to Jiancheng Hou: "I actually like Lin Xian'er the most, so it is better to Jiancheng Hou..."

"Hey, how can the left prime minister change his mind temporarily!"

Before Chen Xu could finish his words, the group of people watching around shook their heads like rattles, including Meng Yi, all widened their eyes and rolled their eyes in contempt.

The play has existed since ancient times. As a Daqin man who loved this traditional activity, he loved gambling regardless of his status, so he also abides by gambling rules. There is no distinction between the play. As long as the two start to play, everything must abide by the rules and the emperor must not regret it.

Believe in words and do what you do. This is the basic principle of people in this era to deal with the world.

Although Chen Xu was the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty, he could not go back on his word.

So generally speaking, the greater the power, the less people like to bet and fight with others casually unless they have to. For example, Li Si was forced to have no way out by Chen Xu before and accepted it. Chen Xu was a bachelor at that time. Only by beating Li Si can he have the chance to prolong his life, so he is so aggressive.

The poorer they are, the more they love gambling and fighting, because they have nothing to lose, just like rebellion. A group of people who are not fed and do not cover up their bodies will rebel if they say they rebel, and they will start to work with a knife and a flag, because only this life can be used horizontally and vertically, what if it is successful?

The so-called gambling mentality is probably like this.

But for people with status like Chen Xu and Zhao Hai, playing mahjong and landlords is OK. If they are asked to bet on their lives, it is absolutely impossible, unless there is a temptation to surpass power and wealth.

For example, being a prince or an emperor or something.

That's what Zhao Hai is now.

Under the temptation of Hu Hai's blank edict, Zhao Hai joined a bet that would betray his wealth and life. If he succeeded, he would become a king, and if he failed, he would be beheaded. Now he has been on the pirate ship, so it is difficult to continue. After all, he has read the blank edict for more than half a year. It is too late to report to the emperor. As long as Hu Hai confesses, he will still be able to escape the charge of rebellion, so Zhao Hai can only go all the way to the black.

Although he also wanted to curry favor with Chen Xu, when Chen Xu was not easy to hook up, Lin Xian'er's role in him was very obvious. The group of kings, princes and ministers around him were all drooling at Lin Xian'er, so that he could use Lin Xian'er as bait and constantly understand the ideas of these people in depth.

Most of these people have noble identities. Although they are powerless and powerful at the moment, their families are deeply rooted in the Qin Dynasty, and some members are still in the court or in the three provinces and six ministries.

For example, the old man who spoke just now was Yao Cuo, the Marquis of Wenjing.

His father was former prime minister Yao Jia. Although he was born in a lowly state, he used his own ability to destroy the plan of Zhao, Chu, Han and Wei to jointly attack Qin. Therefore, he was valued by Qin Shihuang, and was granted the title of Qianhuhou and Shangqing, and also appointed the position of Prime Minister. He was old acquaintances with many kings, princes and ministers of the dynasty.

After Yao Jia died, Yao Cuo inherited the marquis. Although he did not become an official, he still had deep connections. Those who came and went to the dynasty were important officials and nobles, such as the five doctors Zhao Ying, the five doctors Yang Xiu, the grand historian Hu Wujing, etc. These people all served as officials in the court. Although they did not reach the level of first-rank second-rank, there were still a lot of third-rank and fourth-rank in the court.

Just as Feng Quji said to his son Feng Jing, without great contributions, people from these families would not have the chance to be granted the authority of the ministers, but Cao Ling, the chief of the three provinces and six ministries, could still be safe.

Therefore, if these middle-level officials can be won over a large number of them and secretly promised a marquis or even a marquis, there will inevitably be a great possibility.

I didn’t know that I had been watching the sky by the well before, but after being tossed by Qinghe Hou for so many years, everyone suddenly had a clear vision.

The world is so big, I will definitely have more or less thoughts to go and see it. It is not unattainable to support a young man who can give him this opportunity to come to the stage and create a country and become a marquis and a king.

Therefore, Zhao Hai naturally also needs to actively plan and prepare his own power.

It would be fine if the emperor made a crown prince in advance, but if not, then this power would become the key to his success.

Although he didn't know what Chen Xu thought, he believed that as long as most people acknowledge that Hu Hai's edict was valid, they would give Chen Xu enough honor at that time, and I believe Chen Xu would not be particularly resistant.

Unless Chen Xu wants to be the emperor too.

But from the moment, Chen Xu seemed to have no intention, because he had heard the First Emperor talk to him several times and mentioned the Qinghe Marquis' proposal to establish the crown prince as soon as possible, which shows that Chen Xu did not have the ambition to be the emperor.

"Haha, Zuo Prime Minister and Hai had an agreement, how could they regret this matter?" Seeing a group of people opposing Chen Xu's words, Zhao Hai also laughed cheerfully.

"Oh, if I had known that Miss Lin was so talented, Xu would have spent more money to buy it. Well, Xu would have regretted it..." Chen Xu shook his head and took his hand out of the pottery jar, spread his palms, and sent a ball of paper to Qi Dang next to him.

Qi Dang opened it quickly, but his face shook his head with a slight regret: "This is a blank lot, and the left prime minister failed!"

"Oh~" Chen Xu leaned down on the back of the chair and sighed.

"It's my turn!" Zhao Hai quickly reached into the pottery jar, stirred it back and forth for a few times, then took out a ball of paper and handed it to Shen Gongyan.

"Congratulations to Marquis Jiancheng, and to get the little lady Ximen!"

"Oh~" Zhao Hai waved his hand dejectedly, "It's time for the left minister!"

Chen Xu reached out to grab the last time, and his hand reached the can and suddenly stopped. Many people thought Chen Xu wanted to re-introduce the old thing again, so someone immediately smiled and said, "Justice Zuo just grab lots. Today's bet has been decided. Don't make any troubles, otherwise we will not play mahjong with Zuo from now on!"

"Haha, it's the extreme, the left prime minister quickly captures it, there are two lots, just to see who Lin Xian'er will belong to!"

"Yes, I'm looking forward to it. Whoever wins will definitely come and support you from now on!"

The group of people immediately agreed and urged.

"It's not that Xu wanted to make trouble, but that he felt that his luck was quite unhappy today. I came here!" Chen Xu waved to Hua Nuer who was the first to get lots.

"I listen to the orders of the marquis!" Hua Nuer quickly knelt down and said.

"You can help me catch this last lot!" Chen Xu pointed to the pottery jar, then turned to look at the middle-aged and elderly hooligans with unshaven beards, "With Xu's doing this, it's not considered a violation of the bet!"

"Uh, it doesn't count!" Meng Yi and a group of Qinghou shook their heads one after another.

"That's good, I'll catch it!" Chen Xu nodded.

"I don't dare!" Hua Nuer'er's face turned pale because of fright.

This capture is simple, but if Lin Xian'er cannot be caught, it is afraid that life and death will be unpredictable.

"Don't worry, no matter who I catch, I won't blame you." Chen Xu said with a smile.

"If you want to catch it, you will be so timid. Don't worry, there are many noble people who testify today, and even if you catch the wrong marquis, you won't punish you!" Meng Yi urged.

In fact, Meng Yi has been in the dark until now. Since Chen Xu changed his method last time, he has left him aside. Today is the time to see the truth. He is very curious about how Chen Xu could blatantly stuff Lin Xian'er into this Chunfang Garden if he grabbed Lin Xian'er in his hands, unless Chen Xu is really greedy for Lin Xian'er's appearance and wants to take it for himself.

But based on his understanding of his son-in-law, money, beauty, fame, fortune and wealth could hardly shake his decision.

This son-in-law wants money, power, and women. Although Lin Xian'er is proficient in both music, chess, singing and dancing, and her figure and appearance are also of top quality, she does not have any advantage over Chen Xu's own wives and concubines. Whether it is her daughter Meng Wan, Liezi's disciple Shui Qingrou, or the royal daughter Ying Shiman, her temperament and appearance are not inferior to Lin Xian'er, especially Fan Caiying, whose stunning performance of trespassing into the court has now become a matter of relish throughout Xianyang. Countless kings, princes, and ministers and ministers are moved by it, and even the emperor praised her outstanding beauty.

Therefore, based on the overall perspective, Chen Xu is not very moved by Lin Xian'er.

Therefore, this made Meng Yi even more curious.

"Catch it, it's okay!" With Chen Xu's encouragement, Hua Nuer finally plucked up the courage, and her little hands trembled slightly into the pottery jar. After a brief hesitation, she gritted her teeth and grabbed a piece of paper, and held it up with both hands to present it to Chen Xu.

"Mr. Marquis, I've captured it!"

"It's better to help Qi Mansion Order!" Chen Xu turned to look at Qi Dang.

Qi Dang didn't refuse, picked up the paper ball and unfolded it, and instantly bowed with a smile on his face and said, "Congratulations to the left prime minister, Lin Xian'er!"

"Hahahaha~" Chen Xu stood up happily with a smile, hugged Lin Xian'er standing beside him in his arms, and looked at Zhao Hai proudly and said: "It's a blessing to have a husband lost his horse. Don't blame me for building a Hou. Miss Xian'er has returned to my Qinghe Garden!"

"Oh~" This time it was Zhao Hai's turn to sigh, waved his hand and let someone take the pottery jar away, stood up and said, "Since the bet has been made, several courtesans will stay. The owners of the park will also invite them back temporarily. Someone will send money to the Quyuan tomorrow!"

"Yes, we will leave!" Several owners of the park did not dare to say much, and saluted in unison before saying goodbye.

"I made great contributions to this marquis. I will reward you very much today. Let's go and follow me back to Qinghe Garden!" Chen Xu hugged a beautiful and gentle lady in his left and right hands, and was in a happy mood to go home.

"Hey, don't worry, the bet is over. Could it be that I have come to my marquis' Quyuan and want to leave without a banquet!" Zhao Hai grabbed Chen Xu's arm, his eyes fell on Lin Xian'er's face, who was leaning against Chen Xu's pretty face blushing, and his skin trembled slightly and twitched for a moment. He smiled and said loudly.

"That's right, how could the Zuo Prime Minister leave without having a banquet? Since he won Lin Xian'er, I will go to Qinghe Garden to support him in the evening and invite Miss Xian'er to play a few wonderful music for us. Of course, the Marquis will have to invite another meal!"

"That's right, the Marquis Dexian'er girl must treat you!"

"It's better to ask me to wait to shoot at the shooting range. Muskets are much more fun than the little lady!"
