Chapter 69

The court meeting ended and all officials retired.

Outside the Golden Palace, the General of the Left Wu Guard and the Procuratorate's Army soldiers looked unhappy. He glared at the same person next to him with big eyes. This man was also tall and burly, but he was much younger than Cheng Yaojin.

"The surname is Xue!"

"Old man Cheng!" The one who was called the surname Xue shouted without hesitation.

"I have the affair to go out for 300 rounds, and I will see the true sign under my hands!"

"Who is afraid of who?"

There were very few people in the court who dared to call Cheng Yaojin like this, but this person named Xue was naturally extraordinary.

Cheng Yaojin is now the General of the Left Wu Guard, and the person named Xue happened to be the General of the Right Wu Guard. Cheng Yaojin was named Duke Lu, and Xue Wanche was named Duke Wu'an County. Old Cheng's son Princess Shang Taizong, and Xue Wanche directly promoted Emperor Gaozu's princess. In terms of seniority, he was still the old uncle of the current emperor.

Xue Wanche has always been arrogant and arrogant, but people with tempers are naturally capable. In his later years, Taizong was once famous generals, only Li Ji, Li Daozong and Xue Wanche. But he knew that Li Shimin had such a high evaluation of him. It is said that Cheng Yaojin was still worried because he was not named.

Cheng Yaojin felt that Xue Wanche was not as capable as him. When he was working in the Qin Palace, Xue Wanche was still under the command of the prince Jiancheng at that time. During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Xue Wanche was beaten and fled in a panic. What qualifications do you have to ride on his head?

As for Xue Wanche, he also had some capital. His father was Xue Shixiong, the general of the Sui Dynasty. He had four brothers. In the Tang Dynasty, he was all named Duke of the County, and each was a general of the current dynasty. He married a princess, so he was of course a little proud.

The two people who had never dealt with each other very much, today they fought again at Chao Shang.

The emperor decided to reorganize Tunying into the Yulin Army and separate it from the Twelve Guards' Mansion. The position of the Yulin Army's general naturally had to be a great future with experienced and powerful skills. However, the qualified ones were Cheng Yaojin, Xue Wanche and others.

Cheng Yaojin thought that he was the former camp inspection school, so he should naturally be the general himself. As a result, Xue Wanche was dissatisfied and believed that Cheng Yaojin was old and that this general of the Yulin Army should be the one who was a young man like him.

It was a foregone conclusion, but after Xue Wanche made a disturbance, the emperor said that he would consider making a decision again.

Then the emperor decided to send troops to conquer Goguryeo. At this time, Xue Wanche confidently asked to command the troops. The emperor also agreed to be the chief general of the Pyongyang Road marching in the future. As a result, Cheng Yaojin immediately jumped out to object.

In the end, the emperor did not immediately decide to let Xue Wanche lead the troops, but decided to first make the right-leading rank general Xue Rengui and left-hand military guard Su Dingfang as the deputy general, and the main general was to be decided.

After the court meeting, the two of them wanted to roll up their sleeves and fight.

"Old man Cheng, can you still ride a horse?" Xue Wanche shouted.

Cheng Yaojin sneered, "I started practicing martial arts at the age of six, started riding horses at the age of eight, and went to fight to kill enemies at the age of twenty, and cut off more heads than the entire Xue family. Although I am sixty-five now, my skills in battle are better than you. Unlike you, I brag about some famous generals, but I still remember when you followed Luo Yi to fight against Dou Jiande but were captured and shaved by others after being defeated?"

"By the way, Emperor Gaozu promised Princess Danyang to you, but on your wedding night, he was so stupid that he didn't even understand the matter of husband and wife. The princess was so angry that she didn't have the same seat with you for several months. Later, Emperor Taizong summoned you into the palace and asked Shubao, Jingde and others to teach you what happened together?"

Expose others and not reveal their shortcomings.

These words made Xue Wanche blush and completely angry. The three most annoying things about him were that when he was in Youzhou, he was invading Dou Jiande's rebels, but the army was wiped out. Not only did the brothers be captured, but their hair was shaved, which was a great humiliation.

The second thing was that he was under the command of the deposed prince Jiancheng, but he was beaten to escape in a panic during the Xuanwu Gate Incident and fled to Zhongnan Mountain for a long time but did not dare to come out.

The third thing is naturally the Princess Danyang, who was Shang Gaozu, but Princess Danyang thought he was vulgar and refused to have sex with him. Instead, she told the emperor that he was very stupid and did not understand the matter of husband and wife. Emperor Taizong even summoned him to the palace and asked Cheng Yaojin, Chai Shao and other people to teach him, which made him extremely embarrassed.

Now Cheng Yaojin has exposed his scars in public, how can he tolerate it?

"Shut up, shameless old thief!"

The two of them quarreled while walking, and they were about to take action. A group of civil and military officials next to them all came forward to persuade him helplessly.

These two people, one is Cheng Yaojin, who is a hero of Lingyan Pavilion, a famous veteran in the empire, and a veteran. The other is Xue Wanche, who has always been arrogant and arrogant. The Xue family has been a general and a military leader for several generations.

The two quarreled, and no one knew how to persuade them.

Finally, Li Ji came over.

Li Ji was also famous in the military, second only to Li Jing at that time. Emperor Taizong valued Li Ji's talent in his later years and specially placed him in Hedong for more than ten years, just to promote and reuse Li Ji after the prince succeeded to the throne in the future, and show his kindness to him.

After Li Zhi ascended the throne, he really valued Li Ji and invited him to the court to be the prime minister. Now that he does not command troops, he enters the center and becomes the prime minister, which is a model for generals and prime ministers.

"Old Cheng, Lao Xue, this is the palace. How can you be so quarrel like this? I want me to tell you, don't argue like this, what's the point of arguing like this? You're all rude. It's better for me to treat you, and everyone has a drink."

Li Ji has to give him face.

Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji had a closer relationship. They were both old comrades-in-arms in Wagang and were both confidant ministers of Taizong. They were no more than Xue Wanche, and they were never from the same circle.

"Since the UK has spoken publicly, I, Old Cheng, naturally, have to give me face. Let's do this. As long as the person surnamed Xue is willing to drink three glasses of wine with me, I will reconcile with him. I am afraid that the person surnamed Xue will not have the courage and the alcohol tolerance."

When Li Ji saw Cheng Yaojin's eyes, he probably felt sad again.

"How big are your three glasses of wine?"

"I know that Xue's surname is not good at drinking. She blushed like a monkey's butt after taking a few sips. I didn't make things difficult for him. Just have three cups of three."

A cup of three liang is only nine liang, and a little over half a pound.

It is not a problem for ordinary people to drink half a pound of wine. Even if Xue Wanche has a poor alcohol tolerance, it should be fine.

"Do you dare or not?" Old Cheng provoked Xue Wanche.

Xue Wanche looked at Lao Cheng, then looked at Li Ji, and snorted coldly, "Okay, for the sake of the British Duke, I will have three drinks with you."

"Old Cheng, you see, Lao Xue agrees, then that's it. Let's talk about it after drinking, don't be entangled like this anymore."

Cheng Yaojin nodded in a hehehe manner and agreed to leave each other.

After leaving the palace, the Cheng family called his followers, "Hurry up and go to Wulang to find him to go to Lantian to find Li Sanlang to get two bottles of burning knives. You must be erect. The more erect, the better. This time I don't kill this man named Xue, and fight with me, he is a little tender, haha."
