The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 401 The Chess Game That Even Li Jing Worried About
"The small country of Goguryeo dares to be arrogant and domineering. When I, Yu Chigong returns, I will definitely exterminate his family." After receiving Li Shimin's imperial edict, Yu Chigong said angrily.

"Now that Western Turks and Tubo are dying, it is at this time that Goguryeo invaded our Tang territory. I am afraid there is a certain connection." Xu Mao said openly.

"If you're an old-fashioned old man, even a fool can understand it. Isn't this going to encircle Wei and save Zhao?" Cheng Yaojin said after curling his lips.

"If it's just that simple, do you think that kid can let the emperor personally conquer?" Yu Chigong said after glaring at Cheng Yaojin.

"I said big old black, don't look at the emperor's plan to put you in command. You know and I understand what you said, so you don't have to pretend to be deep with me, old Cheng." Cheng Yaojin had a disdainful expression on his face. Said.

"If you are really not convinced, why the emperor didn't let you lead the army. You chose me, Yu Chigong, which shows that in the eyes of the emperor, I, Yuchigong, are more useful than you." Yuchigong had a smug expression on his face. Said.

"Stop bickering here, this time the emperor's personal conquest must not be taken lightly. If the emperor makes any mistakes, even if you, Yu Chigong, are smashed to pieces, it will not be enough to atone for the sin." Li Jing said with a straight face.

"Don't worry, that apprentice of yours was able to let the emperor personally conquer. Do you think it will be an uncertain battle?" Xu Maogong said to Li Jing with a smile.

"This is exactly what I don't understand. If he leads the troops to fight, even Yu Chigong doesn't have to return to the army, let alone let the emperor personally march." Li Jing said.

"I didn't quite understand it at first, but after thinking about it, it's not that complicated." Xu Maogong said with a smile.

"You are an old-fashioned old man, you always speak in such a secretive way. Don't you know how to speak clearly?" Cheng Yaojin said with a displeased expression on his face.

"Now the major clans with five surnames and seven clans are eager to try, and they have made small moves in secret. There is only one reason why they dare to do this, and that is that they feel that they can change the court again."

"But now Li Chengqian has two purposes for letting the emperor personally conquest. The first is to deter them and let them know that the emperor's sword is not old yet."

"But this is only superficial, and the purpose is to paralyze them. The most important thing is to give them a chance. Give them a chance to be uprooted." Xu Maogong said with a smile.

"No way, the east and the west are now at war. The imperial court has already been devastated. If there is civil strife, wouldn't the world really be in chaos." Cheng Yaojin said worriedly.

"Don't worry, someone has already arranged everything. If someone dares to act rashly, the marshal will return to fight the chaos." Xu Maogong looked at Li Jing and said to me.

"This is a big game of chess. Although I have thought about the result, I can't believe that he actually dared to do this." Li Jing said after sighing.

"I don't understand what you are saying, so I, Cheng Yaojin, don't bother with that brain. Da Laohei, I will practice it for you today, and we will not go home until we are drunk." Cheng Yaojin couldn't understand, so he simply Don't ask any more.

……

"It is estimated that at this moment, the imperial decree has been delivered to Yu Chigong. How are your preparations going?" Li Shimin in the Ganlu Palace asked Li Chengqian.

"Tomorrow is the final of the Zhenguan Cup, and then the military expenditure will be enough." Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"You set up a gamble for every game, but I didn't see how much money you made. On the contrary, it was the first game, and you made a lot of money." Li Shimin said with some disbelief.

"It's because they earned too much for the first time, so they will find a way to move back this time. And there will be some people that you can't think of, Father, who will also send you military expenses." Li Chengqian said confidently.

"That's your business, I'm not in the mood to take care of it. Anyway, even if you lose money tomorrow, you have to pay for the troops this time." Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian after curling his lips.

"Father, don't worry, no matter what, you won't pay a cent for the military expenses this time. But let's talk about it first, and you have to listen to my son about what to do this time." Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin.

"You contribute money and efforts, as long as you can keep the border of our Tang Dynasty safe. You can do whatever you want." Li Shimin said with a nonchalant expression.

But he never expected that in the end Li Chengqian would be able to mess things up so much.At that time, it was too late for Li Shimin to regret.

……

Early the next morning, the entire city of Chang'an was completely boiling.People of all ages gathered together, and those who were fond of gambling would naturally not forget to place their bets.Naturally, those who watched the excitement wouldn't think it was a big mess.

At this time, Li Chengqian was sitting in the private room of the Juewei Building, and said to Li Ke and Li Tai: "The final champion will be between the two of you."

"Whether the military expenditure for this expedition is enough or not depends on the two of you. If I screw up at that time, it's up to me to deal with you."

"Brother, I don't understand. Now all the bets are on the third brother. At that time, I just need to win the game and I'll be done." Li Tai asked Li Chengqian with a puzzled expression.

"Even you can see it, do you think those people can't see it? If they suddenly turned their guns at the last moment, what will be the final outcome?" Li Chengqian said after glaring at Li Tai.

"Brother, do you mean that there may be a change at the last minute?" Li Ke asked while looking at Li Chengqian.

"The handicap this time is different from the past. The betting time will continue until the last moment before the end of the game. It's just that the bet multiples will also change accordingly."

"This is also the unique charm of this final, so the closer to the last moment, the more we cannot take it lightly." Li Chengqian said.

At this moment, Wang Fugui rushed up.And he said directly to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, suddenly the direction of the betting has changed."

"Is someone starting to buy the fourth child to win now, and the amount of betting is getting bigger and bigger. If the king guesses correctly, he will soon catch up with the third child?" Li Chengqian asked Wang Fugui.

"Your Highness is right. Now the bets on both sides have been evened out. It's just that neither side's amount is very large, so far it's only close to one million." Wang Fugui nodded and said.

"Brother, your appetite is a bit too big. It's almost a million pennies and you still say that the amount is not big. Could it be that you are planning to win tens of millions in this game?" Li Tai looked displeased. With an expression of believability, he asked Li Chengqian.
