Chapter 69: The Old Puffer

At the end of the court, hundreds of officials retreated.

Outside the Golden Palace, General Zuo Wuwei and the soldiers and horses of the inspection school camp looked unhappy, and he glared angrily at a fellow traveler next to him with a pair of big eyes, this person was also tall and burly, but he was much younger than Cheng Yanjin.

"The surname is Xue!"

"Cheng Lao Pifu!" The one who was called surnamed Xue also shouted unceremoniously.

"There's a kind of going out to fight for 300 rounds, and you'll see the real chapter under your hands!"

"Who's afraid of whom?"

Among the Manchu Dynasty, there are really few people who dare to call a battle like Cheng Yanjin, but this surname Xue is naturally extraordinary.

Cheng Yanjin is the general of the left Wuwei at the moment, and the surname Xue happens to be the general of the right Wuwei. Cheng Biting Jin Jue was named the Duke of Lu Guo, and Xue Wanche Jue was named the Duke of Wu'an County. Lao Cheng's son, Princess Shang Taizong, and Xue Wanche is directly the princess of Gaozu, and in terms of seniority, she is still the old aunt of the current emperor.

Xue Wanche has always been arrogant and domineering, but people with temper are naturally capable. In Taizong's later years, he was once a famous general, only Li Ji, Li Daozong, and Xue Wanche. can know that Li Shimin has a high opinion of him, and it is said that Cheng Biting Jin has been haunted because he was not named.

Cheng Yanjin felt that Xue Wanche's ability was not as good as his own, when he was working in the Qin Palace, Xue Wanche was still under the hands of the crown prince at that time. The change of Xuanwu Gate, Xue Wanche was beaten by himself and fled, what qualifications did he have to ride on his head.

As for Xue Wanche, he also has some capital. His father is Xue Shixiong, a general of the Sui Dynasty, and his four brothers are all knights and county princes in the Tang Dynasty, each of them is a general of the dynasty, and he married a princess, of course, he is a little proud.

The two of them, who didn't deal with them very much, were on the court again today.

The emperor decided to reorganize the cantonment camp into the Yulin Army in the early dynasty, and became independent from the Twelve Guards Mansion. There are only a few people who are qualified, such as Cheng Yanjin and Xue Wanche.

Cheng Yanjin thought that he was the original camp inspector, so he should naturally be the general, but Xue Wanche was not convinced, thinking that Cheng Yanjin was old, and this Yulin Army general should be a young man like himself.

was originally a sure thing, but after Xue Wanche stirred it up, the emperor said that he would think about it again and make a decision.

Then the emperor decided to send troops to recruit Goguryeo, at this time Xue Wanche confidently asked for the command of the army, and the emperor also agreed that this great man should be the chief of the Pyongyang Provincial March, but Cheng Yanjin immediately jumped out to oppose it.

In the end, the emperor did not immediately decide to let Xue Wanche command the troops, but first decided to lead the right army Zhonglang general Xue Rengui and the left Wuwei Zhonglang to make Su Dingfang the deputy general, and the main general was to be determined.

At the end of the court meeting, as soon as the two of them came out of the Golden Palace, they couldn't wait to roll up their sleeves and fight.

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

Cheng Yanjin sneered, "The old man started practicing martial arts at the age of six, began riding horses at the age of eight, and went into battle to kill the enemy when he was twenty years old, and cut off more heads than your entire Xue family." Although there are five out of sixty now, the polemic array kung fu is better than you. Unlike you, what kind of famous general you boast of, do you remember when you accompanied Luo Yi to fight against Dou Jiande, but after the defeat, you were captured and shaved your head? ”

"By the way, Emperor Gaozu promised Princess Danyang to you, but what about you, on the wedding night, you turned out to be so stupid that you didn't even understand the affairs of husband and wife, and the angry princess didn't sit with you for several months. Later, Emperor Taizong summoned you to the palace and asked me to teach you things with Shubao, Jingde and others?"

Expose people but not short.

This remark made Xue Wanche's face red and completely angry. The three things that he was most angry about were that when he was with Luo Yi in Youzhou, he conscripted Dou Jiande's rebels, but the whole army was wiped out, and the brothers were captured, not to mention, and their hair was shaved, which was a great shame.

The second thing is that he was under the hands of the abolished prince Jiancheng, but he was beaten and fled in embarrassment by the Xuanwu Gate Change, and fled to Zhongnan Mountain for a long time and did not dare to come out.

This third thing is naturally Princess Danyang, who was still a high ancestor, but Princess Danyang thought he was vulgar and refused to have sex with him, but instead told the emperor that he was stupid and didn't know how to marry him.

Now that Cheng Biting Jin is exposing his scars in public, how can he bear it.

"Shut up, shameless old thief!"

The two were arguing as they walked, and when they saw that they were about to do something, a group of civil and military officials next to them reluctantly stepped forward to persuade them.

These two people, one Cheng Biting Jin, is a hero of Lingyan Pavilion, a veteran of the empire, and an old veteran. A Xue Wanche has always been domineering, a general of the Xue family for several generations, and a military boss.

The two quarreled, and everyone didn't know how to persuade them.

In the end, it was Li Ji who came over.

Li Ji was also well-known in the military circles, second only to Li Jing as a military marshal back then. In his later years, Taizong valued Li Ji's talent, and deliberately pressed him in Hedong for more than ten years, just so that he could promote and reuse Li Ji after the crown prince succeeded to the throne in the future, and show his favor to him.

After Li Zhi succeeded to the throne, he really reused Li Ji and invited him into the court to worship the prime minister.

"Lao Cheng, Lao Xue, this is in the palace, you are arguing like this, what kind of system is it, if you want me to say, don't quarrel like this, what is there to quarrel like this." It's all big and coarse, why don't I treat you, everyone has a drink, and that's it. ”

Li Ji's face has to be given.

Cheng Yanjin and Li Ji have a closer relationship, they were both old comrades-in-arms of Wagang back then, and they were both Taizong's henchmen and courtiers, no better than that Xue Wanche, who has never been an insider.

"Since Britain is open, I, Lao Cheng, naturally have to give this face, so let's do it, as long as the surname Xue is willing to drink three glasses of wine with me, I will reconcile with him. I'm afraid that the person surnamed Xue doesn't have the courage to drink, and he doesn't have the amount of alcohol. ”

Li Ji looked at Cheng Biting Jin's eyes, and estimated that this old guy was dead in his heart again.

"How big are your three glasses of wine?"

"I know that the amount of alcohol surnamed Xue is not good, and after a few sips, he blushes like a monkey's butt, and I don't embarrass him, just serve three cups of three taels."

Three taels of cups, three cups are only nine taels, a little more than half a catty.

It is not a problem for ordinary people to drink half a catty of wine, even if Xue Wanche does not drink well, it should be no problem.

"To dare or not to dare?" Lao Cheng said provocatively at Xue Wanche.

Xue Wanche looked at Lao Cheng, then at Li Ji, and snorted coldly, "Okay, for the sake of the British public, I will accompany you to drink three cups." ”

"Lao Cheng, you see that Lao Xue also agreed, then it's decided, drink and talk about it, don't be so entangled."

Cheng Biting Jin nodded, and immediately said that they would leave.

Out of the palace, the Cheng family called his entourage, "Hurry up and go home to find Wulang, let him go to Lantian to find Li Sanlang to get two bottles of burning knives, it must be fierce, the stronger the better, this time I don't kill this puppet surnamed Xue, fight with me, he is still a little tender, haha." ”

As soon as he thought of Xue Wanche, who couldn't drink enough, his ugly appearance after being drunk with a burning knife, he couldn't help laughing.
