The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 769 Bet
"Lu Guogong's words are over." Wei Zheng said calmly.

"Hey, Master Wei, why don't we make a bet." Cheng Yaojin lowered his voice, and said to Wei Zheng with a smile on his face, "Let's bet that before going to the Liaodong battlefield, the three hundred soldiers of the government will Three hundred Xuanjia troops, can we win?"

"This old man keeps himself clean and never gambles." Wei Zheng was not fooled by Cheng Yaojin, although he knew that although the three hundred government soldiers were government soldiers, their training was sparse on weekdays, basically twice a year.There is not much time, and it is not as good as the one in a hundred Xuanjia Army, who never neglects training on weekdays. It is clear who is strong and who is weak between such elite soldiers and the temporary army. But even so, Wei Zheng's intuition Tell yourself, Cheng Yaojin brought up such an expression, there must be some twists and turns in it.

All in all, it is right not to agree.

The old fritter Cheng Yaojin didn't know yet, although he felt that the soldiers who watched Xuan Shijing's training were sure of winning, but after a good bet, he was betrayed by his own expression.

"Master Wei is so optimistic about the Xuanjia Army, why don't you have the confidence to bet with the old man?" Cheng Yaojin continued to provoke Wei Zheng: "Master Wei just pleaded for those spies, the reason is not because the soldiers in Dongshan County are not The Xuanjia Army is quite elite, so the rules of the Xuanjia Army do not apply? Now, the old man has to prove it to Mr. Wei! These soldiers are no worse than the Xuanjia Army. Dongshanhou’s method of training troops is a secret and cannot tolerate any People are spying!" At the end, Cheng Yaojin's expression became serious.

"The minister reconsidered." The most unexpected person also stood up to agree with Cheng Yaojin's words, and this person was Li Jing who hadn't asked about court affairs for a long time.The military god of the Tang Dynasty.

"Does the pharmacist second Wei Qing or the agenda?" His Majesty Li Er asked Li Jing with squinted eyes.Usually in the court, Li Jing is just a piece of wood, but today he stood up, which is really beyond people's expectations.

"I agree with Lu Guogong's words. Lu Guogong said that the Marquis of Dongshan is training troops in Dongshan County. The method of training troops is a secret matter. Since it involves the secrets of military training, I think that what His Majesty said about beheading those spies caught in Dongshan County There is nothing wrong with it." Li Jing said.

When Li Jing said this, he not only found a reasonable excuse for His Majesty Li Er's will, but also maintained the prestige and status of the military in the court. Now, it is necessary to stand up and kill the signs of this kind of thing in the cradle.

"Your Majesty, I feel that Wei Guogong is right." Li Xiaogong stood up and echoed, "Your Majesty, there is no trivial matter in this barracks."

His Majesty Li Er, who sat at the top, nodded: "This statement is reasonable, and I will pass on my will."

"Your Majesty!" Seeing that His Majesty Li Er wanted to make an order, Wei Zheng hurriedly stood up and interrupted him. If the order was not followed, the consequences would be irreparable. In Wei Zheng's heart, Xuan Shijing's three hundred soldiers, It is indeed not enough to make the court go to war so aggressively.

"What else does Wei Aiqing want to say? Wei Guogong and others just said it. What else does Wei Aiqing not understand?" The light in His Majesty Li Er's eyes became dangerous. On the eve of the war, His Majesty Li Er would never The army, the court, and even the entire Chang'an City are allowed to appear to be playing tricks. Since some people want to reach out, don't blame the emperor for the sharpness of the butcher's knife.

Under Wei Zheng's sudden change of mind, he could only cup his hands and say to Cheng Yaojin: "Duke Lu, according to Duke Lu's intention, you might as well let Duke Lu go to the Marquis of Dongshan to say that before the army goes out, let the Xuanjia army select 300 people to fight with them. How is the ambush trained by Marquis Dongshan compared to the last one?"

"Hahaha, Mr. Wei, the old man suggested this a long time ago, you must believe it, it's done, the old man answered this matter on behalf of Dongshanhou." Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly, after seeing Xuan Shijing's method of training soldiers that day, Cheng Yaojin is now full of confidence in those 300 people.Then he cupped his hands and bowed to His Majesty Li Er and said, "I would also like to invite Your Majesty to be a witness."

The contest between the two armies is harmless, and it can also stimulate the enthusiasm of the soldiers for training and morale. .

"Lu Guogong, this bet must be a bit of a fortune." Wei Zheng said aloud while standing on the spot with his eyes half closed.

"Master Wei is right." Cheng Yaojin also pinched the belt with one hand, and supported the board with the other in response, looking at Wei Zheng all the time: "I don't know if Master Wei wants to gamble with the old man for something, is there too much? There are still three or five copper coins."

Let's see what kind of mess this old man can make.

Three or five copper coins, some ministers sighed in their hearts, thanks to your ability to say it.

"Hehehehe." Wei Zheng laughed a few times and said, "No, no, no, Duke Lu, let's not gamble, let His Majesty be a witness, let's just bet on the lives of those spies, how about it?"

"Lord Wei, you have found the wrong person. The power of life and death of those people is in the hands of His Majesty, not the old man." Cheng Yaojin laughed.

"This..." His Majesty Li Er's complexion became tangled, this Wei Zheng can really make trouble for others.

"Your Majesty." Wei Zheng cupped his hands and looked at His Majesty Li Er: "Your Majesty wants to order those spies to be executed for nothing more than spying on an important place in the military camp. As I just said, whether the three hundred soldiers of the government can be mentioned together with the Xuanjia Army? , Let this competition be used to prove whether the three hundred soldiers of the Marquis of Dongshan can really bear the lives of these spies, and whether it is true that they can bear the lives of these spies."

I have to say that Wei Zheng is also a difficult person, and the topic goes back and forth, back to the beginning.

"Your Majesty, since the reign of Zhenguan, the laws of the Tang Dynasty have been perfected. Prisons and prisoners are no more than one, and the number of prisoners who were sentenced to death for crimes during the Zhenguan period is even more limited. Your Majesty will carefully review every prisoner sentenced to death. It can only be implemented after being tried. Nowadays, although these spies have gone to places they shouldn't go and violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty, they are also the people of our Tang Dynasty, the people under the emperor's feet. I think that since It's a crime, and it should be treated equally." Wei Zheng remonstrated.

"Heh, what Master Wei said, you don't treat the soldiers equally, but treat criminals who steal military intelligence and some ordinary criminals equally. Master Wei's way of being an official is really puzzling." Li Xiaogong Stand up and say sarcastically.

"My lord might have misunderstood Wei. The point of Wei's words is human life." Wei Zheng said with a smile.

"It seems that Lord Wei is determined to go against His Majesty's will and save these people." Li Xiaogong responded.
