More than half an hour later, in the inner hall of the Chang'an City Palace...

"One hundred thousand guan?" Li Shimin put down the memorial in his hand and said with a complicated expression as he looked at Cheng Yaojin who had just come back from Xiaoyao Villa to report to him.

"Yes, one hundred thousand dollars, Your Majesty, this is the price offered by a real person." Cheng Yaojin said with a helpless look.

"Well, let's settle on this price. I'll leave it up to you, Ke Ming, to specify how many times it will be delivered, where it will be delivered, and how much it needs to be delivered." Li Shimin nodded, and turned to face the same person sitting there.

Du Ruhui, who was at the bottom, said.

"Your Majesty, I obey the order!" Du Ruhui, who was sitting on the chair, immediately cupped his hands and promised.

Du Ruhui, who could be said to be terminally ill, was finally able to survive Li Anran's careful treatment. After a winter of recovery, he returned to the top management of Datang, and even interacted with the history.

It is the same as the record in the book. He and Fang Xuanling worshiped the prime minister together and took the positions of left and right servants respectively.

Cheng Yaojin, who originally thought that the matter would be discussed again, saw that the matter was settled like this. He quickly stood up and said tiredly: "Your Majesty, that's one hundred thousand guan! And it's just using the Yukong.

Your Majesty, please think twice about the price of a magic weapon."

In fact, after talking to Li Anran, Cheng Yaojin also settled the accounts on his way back. I would say that the hundred thousand yuan was really not expensive, but considering his identity and the relationship with someone, for the sake of

It's really impossible not to say this to avoid suspicion.

"Okay, Zhijie, I have decided on this matter, so let's do it." Li Shimin waved his hand and finally made a decision.

How could Li Shimin not know about Cheng Zhijie or some of the actions of the Cheng family? He, a general, was very close to Xiaoyao Villa and even started a horse business together. He had long been caught by the spies lurking in the Cheng family.

Find out.

However, Cheng Zhijie was very smart. He never concealed anything about his dealings with Xiaoyao Villa. He even took the initiative to hand over part of the profits earned from the cooperation between the two parties, and a large part to show his attitude.

Although Li Shimin finally sent the money back in the form of a reward, Long Yan was very pleased with Cheng Yaojin's sensible and honest approach. Otherwise, he would not have let the other party be responsible for the logistics of using troops against the Turks this time.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Seeing that his master had already concluded the coffin, Cheng Yaojin naturally did not say any more on this topic. However, he pretended to hesitate, with an old face full of expressions.

Weird expression.

"Know your integrity and say whatever you have to say. The look on his face makes me want to laugh." Li Shimin, who knew the character of his favorite general, shook his head and smiled.

"Hehe..." With his usual vulgar temperament, he ignored the disdainful looks of Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, several civil servants, and several military generals, and said with a grin: "Your Majesty, I want to go to war.

, I don’t want to be a gang leader.”

"Team leader?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was saying. He was referring to logistics. He said in a dumbfounded voice: "You know the truth, I have never asked you to be a gang leader. You are all serious."

The elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, yes, those are elite soldiers, but they are not on the battlefield. They can only hide behind and deliver things. I don't want to do it. I want to kill the enemy for the country! Otherwise, let Old Heizi Yuchi lead this gang.

Cheng Yaojin, who had a shy old face, said with a smile.

Before Li Shimin could speak, Yuchi Jingde, who was sitting next to him, immediately stopped and stood up and shouted: "What do you mean by Cheng!!"

Cheng Yaojin, who didn't pay attention to this "enemy" at all, stood up, clasped his fists and said something that made everyone present dumbfounded: "Your Majesty, please punish Old Hei Yuchi for roaring in the inner palace. I thought that the gangtou army was a very

Nice place to go.”

"You!" Yuchi Jingde was so angry that he wanted to fight the opponent for hundreds of rounds immediately, but when he thought that this was in the inner hall, not in his own or Cheng Yaojin's home, he was suffocated for a moment.

Neither up nor down.

As for Fang Xuanling and several other civil servants and generals, they were either closing their eyes and concentrating, pretending not to see anything, or looking like they couldn't bear to see Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde start fighting immediately.

"Okay, this is the inner hall, please stay safe for me!" Li Shimin, who was smiling in his heart, said with a straight face.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde, who were still arguing at first, suddenly became honest.

"Knowing your integrity, how should you be punished if you do something like roaring in the inner palace? You don't need to fan the flames. What? Do you feel wronged by letting you be responsible for logistics? Or is it because I am not able to speak well?" Li Shimin continued to have a straight face.

, sneered.

"I don't dare!" Cheng Yaojin, who had not dared to sit down just now, quickly bowed and said with a frown.

"Don't you dare? I see you are quite brave." Looking at the expression on the other party's face, Li Shimin couldn't help but want to laugh. After coughing twice, he said: "I left the matter of contacting Xiaoyao Villa to

You go and do it, why don't I see you shirk it?"

"Your Majesty, these are two different things." Cheng Yaojin continued to argue with a grimace.

"It seems to me that it's the same thing." After glancing at the other ministers, Li Shimin added: "You are the one here who has a close relationship with Xiaoyao Villa, and the logistics matter also involves the magical weapon of flying in the sky.

If you are not responsible, who will?"

"Didn't you see that I asked Keming to help you? Besides, the people I sent to you are not all old, weak, sick and disabled. Even if they are not as good as those elite soldiers on the battlefield, what kind of war are we really going to encounter?

Will it still prevent you from using troops?"

Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin still couldn't tell what his master's plan was. Not only was he not as happy as he should have been, but he was even more distressed. However, distress was distress, and his attitude still had to be corrected, so

He quickly made a gesture of joy and said, "I thank you Lord Long for your kindness!"

"Okay, okay, if you have nothing to do, stop reading those drama excerpts and scripts, and talk about thanking Lord Long for his kindness. These words were all learned there. If you have time to flatter me, you should think about how to do your own thing well.

." Li Shimin waved his hand and said.

Cheng Yaojin, who really wanted to say, "Your Majesty, if you haven't read the play excerpts and scripts, how would you know where these words of thanks to Lord Long for his kindness come from?" Cheng Yaojin, who was not mentally retarded to the point of seeking death, responded obediently: "I obey.

purpose."

Seeing Cheng Yaojin jumping out and trying to change his appointment without success, the happiest person was Yuchi Jingde who had just been implicated. Just kidding, after using the new military training techniques, today's soldiers of the Tang Dynasty dare not say a word

They are elite soldiers, but their strength in all aspects is much stronger than before.

What is the happiest thing about a military general? Apart from having battles to fight, there is nothing more than having all the elite soldiers and generals under his command. After all, with such subordinates, it is easy to earn more military exploits, and

With military merit, it would be natural for him to become his wife and his wife. Otherwise, he would not have almost started a fight in the court over the matter of leading troops.

Although there were indeed many famous military generals in the Tang Dynasty, some of them had responsibilities, either stationed at the border or guarding one side. Cheng Yaojin was naturally indispensable in the usual military operations. As a result, this time, the opponent was "relegated" to the logistics department.

Yuchi Jingde got it

"You know your integrity, I know what you are worried about, don't worry, I still understand the principle of trusting people when you employ them, and not using people when you are suspicious." After watching Cheng Yaojin sit back, Li Shimin said.

In fact, Li Shimin knew very well why his beloved general suddenly proposed to fight on the battlefield.

Although with Cheng Yaojin's character, he really wanted to be on the front line to kill the enemy. But it was more because he was too close to Xiaoyao Villa, and the logistics of using troops against the Turks this time had to do with Xiaoyao Villa.

I can't get away from it, so I just want to avoid suspicion.

Do you want to say whether Li Shimin is worried or doubtful? In fact, he is also worried and doubtful.

As the saying goes, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. Although every emperor did not like to hear this sentence and did not want to admit it, he knew in his heart that it was absolutely correct. Otherwise, it would not have appeared frequently in various dynasties in history.

Get rid of the matter of killing the donkey.

The most exaggerated one is Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty. Among the founding fathers of the Ming Dynasty, except for a few people such as Tang He who survived, most of them did not die well. But the situation of Li Shimin was different. After all, someone was really powerful.

Too powerful.

If you really want to do something, there is no need to go to such trouble.
