As soon as he heard that Li Tai was going to make a bet, Pei Lian agreed without even thinking about it. But when Li Tai said the bet, Pei Lin couldn't help but feel surprised. Because Li Tai actually made a bet contract of five thousand taels of silver.

"Why can't the dignified Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty even take out five thousand taels? Or maybe they feel that they have no chance of winning. Since you feel that you are lost, then why bother jumping out and looking for trouble with this king. Li Tai still looked at Pei Lin with a smile on his face.

Pei Lin gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and then said to Li Tai: "Although five thousand taels of silver, it is already all my Cha family property." But I don't believe that you can really know so many words, King Wei, at a young age. So I agreed to the bet. It's just that when the King of Wei loses, don't lose the money. Pei Lin said to Li Tai.

If Li Tai's bet was a few hundred taels, maybe Pei Lin really thought that Li Tai might know so many words. But Li Tai made a bet contract of 5,000 taels of silver, which gave Pei Lian a feeling. That is, Li Tai is bluffing, and he is ready to use a large amount of gambling to scare himself away.

That's why Pei Lian was willing to gamble with Li Tai, and also said to other civil and military officials: "If you don't believe in King Wei, you can know so many words." You can come to me to raise, and I believe that His Royal Highness King Wei will also accept it. Pei Lin said with a smile at the civil and military officials.

"Since Master Pei has such a good luck, it is better to let my father be the guarantor. Let's make a big bet, as long as someone buys what I lose, I, Li Tai, am willing to accept it all. Once I, Li Tai, really lose the bet, I am willing to go bankrupt and repay the bet twice. I don't know if Prime Minister Pei is willing to be like me. Li Tai bowed to Li Shimin, and then said to Pei Lian.

"As long as someone is willing to buy King Wei to win, if King Wei wins. I agree that I am willing to break the bank and pay back the gamble twice. Pei Lin was also not to be outdone and said to Li Tai.

"Since the prime minister and the king of Wei have this Yaxing, then I, Lao Cheng, will also come to join in the fun. I bought His Royal Highness the King of Wei and won a thousand taels. Cheng Yanjin walked out with a smile and said.

Then Qin Shubao, Wei Chigong, and Xu Maogong all stood up. said that he was willing to buy Li Tai to win, and the bets were all 1,000 taels. They didn't believe that Li Tai in front of them would really know so many words. It's that they've heard it countless times, and their own children have told them about it. No matter what decision Li Tai makes tomorrow at the Golden Luan Palace. all let them support Li Tai without hesitation.

Although they don't feel that their children are reliable. But such repeated exhortations had to attract their attention. They think that Li Tai is definitely doing something again, but the subject doesn't know which unlucky guy it is.

Of course, there are also people who think that Li Tai will lose, and there are far more people who think that Li Tai will lose than those who think he will win. For a while, more or less, they were all buying bets on Li Tai's losses from Pei Lian.

In the end, almost all the officials in the Jinluan Palace participated. More or less bet a certain amount of money. Originally, Li Shimin also wanted to take this opportunity to place a bet. But after all, he is the emperor, and there are some things that can be thought about, but he can't really do it.

"Today, Li Tai, the king of Wei, made a bet with Prime Minister Pei Lin that I would be the mediator. Now he only won 11,000 taels by selling Li Tai, the king of Wei, including 5,000 taels in Li Tai's gambling contract. The win from buying Pei Lin was as high as 36,520 taels, of course, including 5,000 taels of Pei Lian's bet. I announce that the bet has officially begun. Li Shimin took the data counted by the eunuchs and announced to Li Tai and Pei Lian.

"Father, the son is ready to use this gambling contract. At the same time, the benefits of pinyin annotation will be shown to everyone. So I hope that the father will prepare the paper for his son. Wait a minute, the prime minister will write the words on the paper, and the retainers will not only read him out, but also fill in the pinyin marking. Li Tai saluted Li Shimin and said.

Li Shimin nodded, and then waved his hand to the eunuch beside him. Then the eunuch left quickly, and soon took a wooden shelf and a box of white paper. There are also dry utensils such as the four treasures of the study.

"Since King Wei said it, then I'm not welcome." After Pei Lin finished speaking, he picked up the brush on the side, and dipped the inkstone in the inkstone full. He wrote a large letter on a blank piece of paper.

It can be said that this Pei Lin still has a certain attainment on calligraphy paper. Write in a smooth way, all in one go. A stump appeared in front of everyone. This is a relatively obscure word, and even few people here recognize it.

But Li Tai was very calm and came to the words written by Pei Lian. I also picked up a brush and dipped it in the ink. Then on top of this character, the pinyin of jī is written.

Then Li Tai put down the brush in his hand and said: "This character is pronounced jī, which originally means pounded ginger, garlic, leeks, etc., and also refers to mixing and blending. This character is recorded in documents such as "Zhuangzi - The Great Master" and "Zhuangzi - Zhibei Tour". ”

This time, Pei Lin was a little uneasy, he didn't expect such a strange word, Li Tai would recognize it. Even the meaning and provenance are very accurate. This was completely beyond Pei Lian's expectations. But what could Pei Lin do now, so he could only write a word again.

Li Tai looked at it and pasted pinyin on this word as before. Then he continued: "爩, pronounced yù, is a left-right structure, which is used to describe smoke coming out, smoke out, smoke gas. It is also used less frequently. ”

Then Pei Lin wrote Li Tai to read, and more than half an hour passed, and Li Tai was right every time. This couldn't help but make Pei Lin feel powerless. Because he knew these rare words, Li Tai recognized them, and those conventional words did not have the slightest meaning when written.

Therefore, Pei Lin no longer mentioned the pen, but said to Li Shimin with a sad expression: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know many words at all. So there are no more words, let's take the test of King Wei again. It's better to let everyone present also write a few words to try it. ”

Pei Lian's idea is very simple, that is, if you can't do it yourself, you will gather everyone's strength. I still don't believe it, is it true that Li Tai is as he said, and he can't know 16,5600 Chinese characters.

So the others also unceremoniously came to the stage, but when their words were just finished. Li Tai will be proficient in marking these words with pinyin. And its meaning and provenance are not bad at all.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's not me who speaks for King Wei. It's that you can't stop people at all. At this point, you will admit defeat and forget it, so as not to be entangled like this again, and the shame will be even greater. Li Shimin got up and said with a laugh.

At this time, Li Shimin's heart was very happy, and his son was in front of hundreds of civil and military officials. To show his face like this, no matter which father he is, he will feel extremely honored. Even if Li Shimin is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he is no exception.
