On the second day, after Fang Weiji went down to the court, he went to find Cao Renjun's grandson Cao Li, Cao Li was a few years younger than Fang Weiji, and he was also a fun-loving age, Fang Weiji took Cao Li to a restaurant, and after the wine and food were enough, Fang Weiji took out the dice clock and played with Cao Li. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test

After a few rounds, Fang Weiji lost all the wine money and hurriedly said: "No, no, playing with you is asking for hardship, my luck is too bad today, and now I can't even pay for the wine." “

Cao Li smiled proudly and said, "It's not that you have bad luck, you can't do it even if you're skilled." I've asked for this drink, just because you owe me. “

Fang Weiji was unhappy when he said this: "What do you mean I owe you, when do I still owe others money for wine." Next time I call my friend to help me, he's a good dice shaker, and he's going to lose even his pants at your level. “

Cao Li was also unconvinced: "Don't next time, call your friend now, I see who will lose all the pants." “

At this point, Fang Weiji ordered him to go to a tavern and call his friend Chen Sizhi.

Chen Sizhi didn't say much after coming to the restaurant, but just stretched out a palm. There are only four fingers on the palm.

"The last time I lost was ten years ago, and the other party cut off my finger!" Chen said.

"Then I guess you're going to become Chen Sanzhi today, hahahaha. Cao Li smiled presumptuously.

Gambled for two hours. Chen Sizhi lost a fine light, Fang Weiji took the dice away and said: "Brother Chen, forget it today, play another day, if you really become three fingers, how will I explain to my sister-in-law." “

Cao Li had no intention of asking for Chen Sizhi's fingers, but when he saw that people were arrogant, he joked, and when he saw that he also lost Jingguang, he laughed: "Forget it, I won't ask for your fingers." “

When Chen Sizhi heard this, his competitive heart rose, and he said: "Hmph, I actually lost to a hairy boy who ruined my reputation, go, follow me to the barracks." I have money in the camp, let's go over and play. “

Cao Li saw that Chen Sizhi moved his fingers and hurriedly said: "That's not good, I know that gambling is prohibited in the military camp." How dare I go to the barracks, can't you just take out the money?"

Chen Sizhi shook his head and said, "No, what if you leave, follow me!"

As he spoke, he brought Cao Li and Fang Weiji to the Blade Army barracks.

Cao Li followed Chen Sizhi to the gate of the barracks with anxiety, where there were a few sentry soldiers standing loosely, and he was not surprised to see Chen Sizhi bring people over. They were put in without cross-examination.

Entering the gate, Cao Li had been looking around at the Blade Army camp prepared by the emperor himself, and he had heard from his grandfather Cao Renjun that the emperor attached great importance to this army.

However, Cao Li looked around and saw that there was not a single soldier practicing on the empty school ground, but there was a sound of gambling from the military tents passing by all the way.

"Do you all dare to openly gamble in the military camp, don't you have a general to care about you, I heard my grandfather say that this is a sharp blade army that the emperor personally supervised the preparations, and let His Royal Highness Prince Gong of Qizhu be the general!" Cao Li asked strangely.

Chen Sizhi pointed casually and said: "Who cares about us? Who cares? Who cares about us? Who is not an emperor or nobleman here? Besides, the officials on our side are even more powerful than us in gambling." “

At this time, Li Sanlang walked out of a big tent, and scolded in his mouth: "Why is your luck so bad recently!"

"What do you know, people have a thick background, a few days ago they gathered in the military tent to gamble and were caught by King Gong. If we are definitely going to be beaten with a military stick, this kid will only be locked up for three days before coming out, and if I have his background, I will also lead the horse and sell it!" Chen Sizhi said sourly, turned around and took the silver taels from the camp tent and came out to have a few more rounds with Cao Li.

Cao Li didn't have the heart to have fun anymore, he was Cao Renjun's grandson, although he had the habit of eating, drinking and having fun with the children of the aristocratic families in Nanyang City. But he is still quite righteous, especially with his grandfather, an old minister like Gengjie, as an example, no matter how much he likes to have fun, he will not play with the army and state affairs.

Especially this Blade Army. He had heard his grandfather say many times that the country needed such a strong elite army to ensure the safety of the country, and that everyone from the emperor to the seven-rank petty officials hoped that this army could be trained. But today, I saw that the army, which was supposed to be the elite of the country, was actually a group of wine bags and rice bags. Cao Li couldn't sit still.

Back at Cao's Mansion, Cao Li went to the study to see Cao Renjun.

"Grandpa, it's true, my grandson saw it with his own eyes. Almost every military tent in the Blade Army is gathering people to gamble, and the one who steals and sells military horses has already done it once or twice!" Cao Li said with an oath.

Cao Renjun was furious after asking Cao Li about the situation of the sword army in detail, and he didn't even have time to change his court clothes, so he found Yin Shitong in Nanyang City, Jingzhao, and told him that someone was stealing and selling military horses.

Since Yin Shitong dealt with the case of Du Ruchao's self-theft, Cao Renjun also admired this Jing Zhaoyin, who was not afraid of power and was not shaken by money, so he personally led Yin Shitong and a team of officials to Mashi as soon as possible.

In the horse market, Li Sanlang was shouting: "This is a horse dedicated to the Blade Army, one in a hundred??" At this moment, several officials stepped forward and threw Li Sanlang to the ground.

Li Sanlang, who didn't know the height of the sky, was still struggling: "Who dares to arrest the master, I am a soldier of the Blade Army." “

Seeing this, Cao Renjun was even more furious, kicked Li Sanlang down and said, "You are the one who caught you! The Blade Army has been corrupted by a shameless person like you!"

In this way, Cao Renjun took Yin Shitong and tied Li Sanlang to the front of the palace.

"Your Majesty, I thought that the Blade Army would become one of the sharpest swords in Nanyang Kingdom, but I didn't think that this sword would be hollowed out by these people before it was practiced. Wei Chen saw this soldier selling military horses privately, not only that, but the minister also heard that every day in the Sharp Blade Army was like a happy field, and every big tent was drinking and gambling day and night for fun! Every sentence is to the point.

Suhe Jingshuo's face turned red, he didn't know that the Blade Army he had been looking forward to was actually training like this. At the same time, although he recommended Li Sanlang to enter, he had never seen Li Sanlang, and he didn't know that the person who was caught selling military horses in front of him was Li Sanlang.

"Your Majesty, the minister also heard that this person had gathered people in the camp to gamble before, and was arrested by King Gong and then only locked up for three days. This is connivance!" Cao Renjun saw that Su and Jingshuo did not speak, and continued, this old minister has been severely punished in matters that are harmful to the interests of the country.

At this time, the old eunuch Liang'an whispered to Suhe Jingshuo: "This is the third child of Li Hengzhi's family, the one that the emperor personally recommended to join the Sharp Blade Army." “

Su He Jingshuo couldn't hold back when he heard this. He immediately shouted: "Pull down this person who sells military horses and gathers people to gamble according to military law, and immediately summons King Gong into the palace!"

Immediately, Su and Jingshuo reprimanded Su Hexu fiercely in front of Cao Renjun, angrily scolding him for losing all the people to the royal family, making the royal family lose face, and even Su and Jingshuo, who were angry, also turned over the previous bribery of Su Hexu, and finally accepted Su Hexu's general seal. Let Su Hexu meditate in the mansion for a month before venting his anger.

Soon King Gong was reprimanded, and the matter of taking the seal spread throughout the court, and even caused a sensation in the entire Nanyang City. After being reprimanded by this, Su Hexu felt disheartened, and a deep sense of frustration hung over his heart all day long, feeling that everyone in the court was gloating over his jokes.

So when Qi Zhenhe secretly met him, he was also lazy and couldn't be interested.

"What's the matter, you're here to laugh at me, to see when this king will even take this royal pearl away. In the restaurant, Su Hexu said to Qi Zhenhe while pouring himself a drink.

"Hmph, I just didn't expect it, I thought that when you came back from the Northern Expedition, you would sit on the throne of the crown prince, leaving Cheng Lianjin far behind, but I didn't expect that you just became a Prince of Qizhu, and I didn't expect that your current situation was caused by yourself, and you were framed. During this time, Qi Zhenhe guarded the palace all day long, thinking about how to use various methods to bring down Cheng Lianjin and drive Cheng Lianjin out of Nanyang City.

"Yes, yes, I asked for it, I don't have the talent to lead the troops! Su Hexu said dejectedly.

"I heard that the emperor originally chose Su and Han to be this general, but later changed his mind under Zhang Hongfei's persuasion, and gave you this general seal, right?" Qi Zhenhe asked.

"Why, do you want to laugh at me for giving this seal to someone else?"

"Then have you ever thought about why General Zhang Hongfei did this? He is an old general, and he has been fighting with the emperor everywhere since before the emperor ascended the throne, can't he see that Your Highness, you are not a talent for leading troops? Have you ever thought that he is simply waiting for this day, waiting for the day when you will defeat the training of the Blade Army?" Qi Zhenhe said.

Su Hexu felt energetic when he heard this, raised his head and said, "Originally, I thought about why this general would fight for the general seal for me, and then I wondered if he was like other courtiers who saw the wind and sold me favors. “

Qi Zhenhe shook his head and said, "Because this General Zhang Hongfei knows that neither you nor King Jing will succeed in training this blade army, and because he wants you to carry this pot instead of King Jing." “

"In the past few days, I have specially inquired, King Jing's mother, Concubine De Niangniang, seems to have some relationship with General Zhang Hongfei, and Qi Guifei didn't say much about the specific thing, but when I mentioned that Zhang Hongfei helped King Jing, Concubine Guifei's reaction was very strange, and she almost sneered and said that she would definitely help King Jing. Qi Zhenhe speculated.

"It is estimated that this Zhang Hongfei has already secretly helped King Jing, but he does not appear at an important time, if this general seal falls into the hands of King Jing from the beginning, it is estimated that this old general will help him. But you see, he only took the seal for you, but he didn't move at all when it came to selecting and training the Blade Army. Qi Zhenhe continued.

"Then what are we going to do now, now that the seventh has not returned, the Blade Army can't be without a general for a day, I heard that the ministers have been asking the sixth to be the general of the Blade Army in the past few days. Su Hexu took a glass of wine and drank it all, and said with emotion, "These people are the envoys who saw the wind, and they were waiting in the king's mansion a few days ago, and they have helped the sixth child play in the past few days." “
