Li Shimin smiled and said, "There is still such a saying? It's interesting. So how can I explain the word "Ten Thousand"?"

Li Mu picked up the '10,000' and explained: "Your Majesty, the word '10,000' is also used as two explanations, which can be used as the number of people or as the number of money. When the number of people, it corresponds to the 'tube' in front, that is, the grain stockpile, ten thousand people, eat one grain stockpile. When the number of money, it is used as the '10,000 copper coins', which means the money needed for war."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "It's really reasonable. When fighting, it's inseparable from money and food."

Li Mu picked up the 'Yaoji' again and said, "Your Majesty, this 'Yaoji' has a third meaning. 'Yaoji' is a sparrow, and the people call the 'sparrow' "family thief', so this 'tip' can also be called the 'thief'. One is the life of a thief, and nine are the life of a thief. This can also be explained."

"It's really interesting." Li Shimin fiddled with it and said, "There are still words, what does it mean?"

Li Mu picked out one of each card and placed it together, and it was scattered in groups of southeast, west and north, and it was whiter in groups of middle, explaining: "In ancient times, Zhuge Liang borrowed the east wind. Those who marched and fought all knew the impact of 'wind' on the war, so this was called 'wind card'. Because the wind was unpredictable to the sky, if you win with the wind card, you will win more money."

Li Mu pointed to the 'middle white' and said, "This 'middle white' is called 'wrig', as the name suggests, is related to bows and arrows. In war, bows and arrows are weapons of long-distance killing and are the top priority. This 'middle' is made of red lacquer, meaning 'shooting', and the enemy is naturally red. And this 'white' means not shooting, white shooting. And this 'fast' means giving a bounty and getting a reward and making a fortune."

"I named this deck 'Mahjong'. 'Mah' is the sparrow's 'Mah' also refers to the 'thie bandit', while 'Jiang' refers to the person who plays the card. After the 'Jiang' is planning and finally wins, hence it is called 'Mahjong'."

"I didn't expect that there were so many statements, so I was interested." Li Shimin looked up at the sky and said, "It's time to finish school today. Why not do this? Li Mu, come and teach me how to play this thing, and I will also see if it's really as you said, worth learning."

Li Mu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, two people can't play this kind of game, so four people must be needed. And there must be wins and losses to be fun, otherwise it will be boring."

"Win and lose?" Li Shimin asked: "Since it involves the word 'gamble', it is really necessary to bring some win and lose. Then what do you think you are betting?"

Li Mu raised his eyebrows, looked at Kong Yingda, and said, "That's naturally a 'court thing'."

"Don't just squeeze Kong Aiqing with words." Li Shimin ordered Eunuch Gao: "Go and get some money, I will reward Kong Aiqing. I have one, Kong Aiqing, and Li Mu, and I have one..."

Li Shimin was about to ask Eunuch Gao to make up the numbers, but Li Chengqian jumped out and said, "Father, my son, I want to join in the fun."

Li Shimin frowned and said, "You are still young, why are you greedy for gambling? No."

Li Chengqian was thinking about the scimitar in his heart, how could he give up such a good opportunity? He said, "Father, after hearing from my elder brother about the gameplay, my son and all the classmates were also itchy, so let my son make up the numbers. Didn't he say just now, is mahjong the first lesson? Is it good for me to teach us sooner or later, isn't it a good thing for my son to learn it first?"

"this……"

Seeing that Li Shimin was still hesitating, Li Chengqian had to look at Li Mu and said, "Brother, what do you think?"

Naughty child, now he knew he was called the eldest brother. Li Mu said calmly, "Your Majesty, it's okay if His Highness the Crown Prince takes out his monthly salary to participate. But I have a saying that in front of me, there is no prince or father in the casino, and you can't be blamed if you lose, otherwise you won't be considered a real man."

"Haha!" Li Shimin knew that Li Mu was aggressive, but he also took it and said, "I will cheat on you? But you invented this gambling tool, and you decided the rules. Whoever wins and loses, wouldn't you have the final say?"

Li Mu was prepared, so he took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Li Shimin, saying, "Your Majesty, this is the 'Mahjong Sutra' written by me. It contains the content I just introduced, the way to play mahjong, how to calculate the winning or losing, etc. It is well documented, can your Majesty feel at ease?"

Li Shimin opened the booklet and read it. Li Chengqian and Kong Yingda also came over, and they couldn't help but worry. They were going to end up later. This was a gambling, who wanted to lose?

I saw that the booklet was beautifully printed, and the first few pages were indeed as Li Mu said, introducing the cause of his invention of mahjong and the meaning of various patterns. Then I got to the topic and introduced the way of playing mahjong. What is shuffling, code cards, how to roll dice, how to draw cards, the order of playing cards, what is "touch", what is "eating", what is "steal", how to calculate "hu", which is "full color", which is "hu", which is "hu", what is "hu" and what is "big three yuan", what is "big four joy", etc. All the gameplay that Li Mu knew about is recorded in it.

Finally, it is the algorithm to win money. Although it is a bit complicated, fortunately, Li Mu gave a diagram, so that the cards can be compared directly without complicated calculations.

The Mahjong Sutra is clear at a glance, and there is nothing to question. At this time, Eunuch Gao went to withdraw money, only fifty stags. Li Shimin added five stags to Kong Yingda, and left fifty stags himself. Li Mu originally came to cut these "Kaizi" from Chongwenguan, so of course he brought money. But he brought gold, and took it out of his arms and put it on the table, and the weight was different. Li Shimin glanced at him and said, "Do you bring so much money when you go out?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you know my situation. I don't have a son or a relative, and I don't know where to spend money after earning money, so I made a little big. I definitely didn't mean to show off my wealth. I grabbed it casually when I went out."

This is so annoying, but there is no way. People are telling the truth. Li Chengqian looked at Li Mu's gold and saliva was about to flow out. Who knew that it was a hard time to be the prince. He lived so big that he had never seen so much gold!

The three of them had all the gambling funds, so they all looked at Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian reached into his arms, groped for a long time, took out a piece of silver and placed it on the table. This was his last little possession, five taels.

Li Mu smiled and said, "Your Highness, how many games can you play with this little money? Otherwise, let others play with it. I think the King of Yue is like a rich man. If you let him go, let the King of Yue play."

When Li Tai heard this, he took out his purse, which was indeed much more than Li Chengqian's drums. When Li Chengqian saw this posture, he quickly reached out to stop Li Tai and said, "I'm already sitting here. If I want to drive me away, it's okay. I'll talk about it when I lose all!"

Li Mu had to look at Li Shimin. Li Shimin couldn't let his son go down in shame, so he said, "Let's start!"

"Okay, then start. In the first place, we will bet one ounce of silver, which is one hundred texts. How to calculate the "fan" is already stated in the "Mahjong Sutra". There is no doubt that we will start to reshuffle the cards."

"bring it on!"

Li Chengqian rubbed his hands, and put his hands on the cards like Li Mu, and the same was true for Kong Yingda, but Li Shimin did not move. Li Mu looked at him and asked, "Why don't Your Majesty rub the cards?"

"I'll just wait for you to shuffle the cards."

Li Mu secretly despised him, "Is the emperor so amazing? I have to serve you even when playing mahjong?"

He didn't force it, but said, "Your Majesty, this thing cannot be faked by humans. Who knows where to throw the dice? If someone else codes cards for you, all the bad cards will be lost... Haha, it's no wonder others."

When Li Shimin heard this, he stretched out his hand and involved a word about gambling. Even if he was the emperor, he would not be immune to the vulgarity.

At this time, a professor from Chongwenguan passed by the school. Hearing a clamor, he couldn't help but look curiously. Seeing Li Shimin, Kong Yingda and the prince sitting around with a young man in tiger skin, there was a row of bamboo in front of everyone, and everyone was holding a lot of money at hand, and he was shouting and shouting, as if he was gambling?

He looked up at the sign on the eaves and said, yes, this is Chongwenguan Academy!

When will the gambling house be changed?

Li Zheng Hall.

After Queen Changsun finished handling the affairs of the harem, she suddenly remembered that Li Shimin issued an order to make "Nazha" Princess Huanzhu, so she asked the female official who was serving her and said, "Did Princess Huanzhu come to thank you today?"

The female official replied: "When the queen goes back, I have been serving the queen, and I haven't left a step yet, and I don't know the news. Maybe I have come. If the queen wants to know, I will go to Tai Chi Palace to ask."

"Forget it, let's go there by myself." Empress Changsun said, then stood up and walked out of the hall. The female official and Yiying Palace follow him and walked towards the Tai Chi Palace together.

From Lizheng Hall to Tai Chi Palace, I happened to pass by Chongwen Hall. Empress Changsun suddenly heard the noise from Chongwen Hall, so she stopped. She looked inside and asked the female official next to her, and said, "The school should have finished school at this time, why are there still people making noise?"

"The queen wait, I will take a look."

As the female official said, she came closer and took a look, and happened to see Li Chengqian losing all his money and was about to be driven down by Li Mu. After listening quietly for a while, she returned to Empress Changsun and said, "Report to the Empress, Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, Kong Jijiu and Zhulu Hou, they seem to be gambling. The Crown Prince lost all his money, and Zhulu Hou was rushing him down and letting King Yue succeed."

"Gambling?" Empress Changsun's pretty face frosty and said, "It's just a mess! She actually bets at Chongwenguan. Your Majesty is really... No, I want to go and have a look!"

Empress Changsun said, angrily walking towards Chongwen Hall. The ceremonial guard followed closely and waited close to the front. The four people who were playing cards had not noticed that it was now a situation where the three families lost and the whole family won. The copper coins and silver in front of Li Mu had piled up into a hill, and the money he brought himself had never moved.

"What are you doing!"

When Li Shimin saw Empress Changsun, he quickly said, "The queen is just right, Cheng Qian loses all, you can play two games..."
