At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was a little tense.

Can you not be nervous?

Everyone is pressed with real money!

At this moment, everyone stared intently at Li Shimin, waiting for him to announce his candidate.

"Whew-"

Xiao Yu's breathing was a little short.

"Don't panic, Li Jing is in charge and steady."

Eldest Sun Wuji pushed his elbow and whispered,

"You just wait for the next dynasty to find Cheng Biting Jin to receive the money!"

His gaze turned to Li Jing, who was at the top of the ranks of the generals, and his eyes showed confidence.

Look at the bearing and posture of the big guy Li Jing.

Who else is it!

"Break the upset, blow the upset......"

Cheng Yanjin clutched the booklet in his arms and prayed in a low voice.

"Huh?"

Li Shimin also seemed to feel that the atmosphere was a little unusual.

The look on the minister's face...... It's like constipation, and I can't let go!

But he didn't think much of it, and even announced:

"Therefore, I want to choose someone to go out on my behalf, and make me the general of the auxiliary country and the chief of the army!"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were stunned.

The general of the auxiliary country is the rank of the second rank, and in the military attache position, he is second only to the unique general of Tiance and the general of the hussar from the first rank!

And that's not all.

The main thing is the four words "go out on behalf of me", which is very unusual!

If he chooses famous generals such as Li Jing and Li Ji, the emperor will never say such things with a shy face, because this is suspected of sharing merit with the generals.

Cheng Yanjin: "!! ”

His gaze flashed with surprise.

If the real-time odds can be adjusted, the odds of Li Jing, Li Ji and others will be greatly increased at this moment, because with these four words, the possibility of them being in charge will be reduced a lot!

Heaven heard his prayers?

The chance to cause an upset is really here?!

"Since last year, I've been thinking about the right person."

Li Shimin stood with his hands in his hands and said in a deep voice,

"This person must not only have military strategy, have a view of the overall situation, and most importantly, be virtuous and have great wisdom!"

"Because, this is not just a war, what I want is not only to defeat the Turks, nor even to destroy the Turks, what I want is to really use my fists and feet in this vast world!"

"What I want is to use this battle to truly confirm the prestige of the Tang Dynasty Heavenly Empire, so that the four Yi guests will be subdued, and all countries will come to the court!"

The Emperor's words were loud and clear.

The apprehension in the hearts of the ministers is also getting bigger and bigger.

Between them, they can even hear each other's violent heartbeats!

"Therefore, I have chosen a person who you would never have imagined, and who you may strongly oppose, to take on this position."

After Li Shimin finished laying the groundwork, he did not grind and chirp again, but said straightforwardly,

"The handsome person I want to worship is the prince and master, Xu Fenglei!"

"Xu Aiqing, get the order!"

Xu Fenglei's eyes were glazed: "Huh? ”

Ministers: "!! ”

Composed! Wind! Thunder?!

How could it be him? Why him?!

Isn't that a joke!

For a while, there was a death-like silence in the hall, and the expressions on the faces of the ministers were incomparably wonderful!

"This, this, this ......"

The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes were dull, and he muttered,

"It's impossible, it's impossible......"

"Your Majesty mispronounced it, right? This...... Your Majesty must be joking......"

He can't accept it, he can't accept it!

Why not Li Jing?

At this moment, the eldest grandson Wuji had the heart to die.

5,000 taels of silver! A full 5,000 taels of snowflakes and silver! That's it?

Scald!

And at the same time, in the hearts of the ministers: "Blanching blanching blanch!! ”

10,000 grass and mud horses galloped through the heart, and the young heart pulled out the cold, wow cool and cool......

My money!

"Uh......"

Xiao Yu's eyes widened, a white eye rolled out, and the whole person fell backwards.

"Xiao Ge Lao!"

"Ouch, what's wrong with you, Elder Ge? Steady! ”

"Quickly pass on the imperial doctor, the elder has fallen!"

“……”

Fortunately, several ministers behind him caught his body.

The eldest grandson Wuji came back to his senses, hurriedly grabbed Xiao Yu's sleeve, and said with some guilt:

"Xiao Ge old ...... You, are you okay? ”

"I, I really didn't expect this, this, this ......"

Xiao Yu's eyes widened again.

"Auxiliary...... Mistake me! ”

"Ugh!"

Spit out four words in her mouth, Xiao Yu's eyes rolled again, and she completely fainted!

"Pavilion Senior, Pavilion Elder Pavilion!"

"Xiao Xianggong, isn't it 5,000 taels of silver, there's no need for this, it's really unnecessary......"

“……”

Several ministers beside him sighed.

The rest of the ministers also looked embarrassed.

Among them, there are also many people who lost their bets, but when they saw Xiao Yu's appearance, they were also a little relieved.

Although there is blood, it is compared with Xiao Yu...... It doesn't seem to hurt that much.

"What, what's wrong?"

In this situation, Li Shimin was shocked, hurriedly got down the jade steps, walked in front of Xiao Yu, and said,

"What stimulated Xiao Aiqing?"

"Come on, pass on the Imperial Doctor!"

"It should be a moment of urgency, the minister's nails are long, Rong Chen pinched Xiao Ge's old ditch." Ma Zhou took the initiative to step forward and stabbed his slender nails into Xiao Yu's man.

Click!

"Ouch!"

Xiao Yu opened her eyes suddenly, screamed in pain, and struggled to straighten up.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty! ”

Seeing Li Shimin standing in front of him, he was shocked again and hurriedly saluted.

"No courtesy, no courtesy."

Li Shimin saw that he was jumping around, so he relieved his heart and frowned,

"Xiao Yu, I remember that you have always been in good health, why did you faint today?"

"Don't you have an opinion about my election? Can I give you any opinions...... Don't hurt yourself. ”

Xiao Yu: "......"

"Uh...... The minister has nothing to do, the minister has nothing to do......" He bowed his head weakly and couldn't speak.

Li Shimin's brows became more and more furrowed.

His majestic gaze slowly swept towards his surroundings.

"I just felt that something was wrong, you guys one by one, it's not quite right!"

He said coldly,

"What the hell is going on?"

"Ma Zhou, you say!"

was named by the emperor, Ma Zhou only got out of the list and bowed:

"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers lost their temper because they played a bet before the court."

"General Cheng Yanjin opened a plate, betting on which general can be worshiped as the commander of the conquest of the Turks, Li Jing, the secretary of the military department, and Li Ji, the prince of Cao Guo, are all popular candidates, and the odds are one to one to two, one to two."

"Under the persuasion of the eldest grandson, Xiao Ge took Li Jing 5,000 taels, and then ......"

Then there is no need to talk about it.

Xu Fenglei was upset, and Xiao Yu lost Xiang.

Li Shimin's face darkened all of a sudden.

He stared at Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu's head lowered more and more, and his expression was extremely ashamed.

He looked at the eldest grandson Wuji again, and the eldest grandson Wuji also smiled wryly, bowing his head weakly.

Instead, he looked at Cheng Yanjin.

A coercion suddenly descended on his body.

"Hey, hey, hey......"

Cheng Yanjin scratched his head and said with an embarrassed smile,

"Your Majesty, the minister is just playing with them......"

"This gamble, don't count, don't count at all! The minister tore up the booklet in a while......"

Li Shimin stretched out his hand expressionlessly.

"Take it and see."

He commanded.

Cheng Yanjin didn't dare to be the slightest slack, and handed over the account book to the emperor.

Flip a page at random, with the names of people written crookedly, followed by the odds.

"Li Jing, Li Ji, Zhang Gongjin."

"Li Xiaogong, Cheng Biting Jin, Hou Junji ......"

"Hehe, it looks like that!"

Li Shimin said with a smile on his face,

"Zhijie, am I too lenient with you?"

"Do you know what this place is?"

Bang!

In the next moment, Li Er was already a tiger, from a smile to a terrifying face.

The account book smashed on Cheng Yanjin's head.

"I have opened this Taiji Palace, Liangyi Palace, by you into a casino!"

Li Shimin reprimanded,

"This Manchu Dynasty has all developed into gamblers by you!"

"Isn't it honorable and proud? Yes? ”

Poof!

Cheng Yanjin didn't dare to laugh anymore, and knelt on one knee on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!"

He was ashamed and said,

"Please punish Your Majesty!"

Crash.

Li Shimin flicked his robe and looked at the ministers.

"And you guys, what do you think of this place?"

He said angrily,

"If today's events get out, the entire court will become a laughing stock! The majesty of the country has been exhausted by you gamblers! ”

"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!"

The emperor was furious, and the ministers were terrified.

Puff puff

"The ministers are guilty!"

"Please punish Your Majesty!"

The ministers bowed down one after another.

Of course, they had realized by this time how insulting their actions were.

Li Shimin took a deep breath.

"Who among you has not gambled? Don't kneel, let me see. ”

He calmed his anger and commanded,

"Look at how many upright gentlemen there are in this court."

Phew.

Li Jing, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and several other important ministers stood up.

None of them were involved in gambling.

And Xu Fenglei kept standing and did not kneel.

He hadn't recovered yet.

How...... Why is he in charge? Yes?

Li Shimin bowed slightly.

"Finally, there are still a few Pillar Country gentlemen available by my side."

He read a sentence, turned to look at the kneeling majority, and said lightly,

"Although the law does not blame the public, but this matter, you have done too absurd!"

"Since you can gamble, it means that you are not short of money, and since you are not short of money, I see that there is no need for the court to give you money."

"In this case, all of them will be fined for one year!"

"As for the initiator Cheng Zhijie, confiscate the gambling equipment and bets, and punish him as a criminal!"

When the ministers heard this punishment, although they felt uncomfortable, they did not dare to have the slightest objection.

This matter is their fault.

Even if the emperor attacked hard, he could only take it hard, and if he wanted to blame it, blame Cheng for biting gold!

But the old thing is obviously worse now......

"Someone."

Li Shimin beckoned,

"Let Cheng Zhi be restrained."

Knock knock!

Two guards rushed into the hall, one of them with one arm, and suppressed Cheng Yanjin to the ground.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, the minister is guilty!"

Cheng Biting Jin saw that the emperor was really moving, his little face turned pale now, and he said with a panicked expression,

"The minister is just joking with his colleagues, just kidding, you can't count it, Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin snorted coldly.

"Are you kidding? Are you a fool? ”

With the book in his right hand, he said,

"Don't you like to be a bookmaker and open a market? Okay, I'll have you covered. ”

"All the contents of this book, count, not to be wasted!"

"Cheng Biting Jin obeys orders!"

"The sinner bows down and obeys." Cheng bit Jin tremblingly.

"You have a lot of things to bet on, there are bets on the boss, bets on who goes with the army, hehe......"

Li Shimin sneered,

"I'll appoint the generals in a moment."

"From tomorrow onwards, you will follow the bets in this book, and go from house to house to ask for gambling money!"

"I will pay all the stolen money into the military salary!"

Cheng Yanjin nodded again and again.

"Yes, yes!"

He nodded like pounded garlic, and said,

"The sinner will be grateful, the sinner will be grateful!"

Now in this situation, he doesn't want any money, as long as he doesn't go to jail, that's thank God......

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all very rich."

Li Shimin smiled with his hands,

"You can do more things like this in the future, and when the time comes, your money can be used for military salaries and disaster relief."

"If so, it will be considered your merit."

"Get up."

Ministers, look at me, I look at you, all hesitate and dare not get up.

"Get up!"

Li Shimin raised his hand again and said,

"Somewhere, I have to thank you."

"With your funding, the front-line soldiers will have a little more security, and the Tang Dynasty will have a better chance of winning if it defeats the Turks."

He was smiling and praising it.

But the ministers did not have a taste in their hearts.

The emperor is an old onmyoji, and this wave of yin and yang weirdness is very top-notch.

Add to that the loss of gambling, and the loss of the future......

Hey, it's uncomfortable...... Don't talk about it!

"Your Majesty."

At this moment, Xu Feng suddenly came out of the queue,

"Regarding His Majesty's decision to let the minister take command of the expedition, the minister thinks that the minister does not have the ability."

"So, can the minister refuse?"

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.

"Why, Master."

He said with a smile,

"My decree has been drawn up, do you want to resist it?"

Xu Fenglei shook his head.

"The major affairs of the country, in the worship and Rong, if Your Majesty hands over the sacrificial matter to the minister, the minister may still be competent, but the military affairs must not be arbitrarily selected."

He said with a puzzled face,

"The minister really doesn't know what kind of considerations His Majesty has decided to let the minister take command of the expedition."

"Your Majesty may be whimsical, but the minister is still a little self-aware, and the minister is really not good at military affairs! As the saying goes, Yun Yi will be incompetent and exhaust the three armies, and if the minister leads the three armies, he will definitely harm the three armies! ”

"The conquest of the Turks is the biggest war since the founding of this dynasty, please don't play child's time! Don't be ridiculous! This is irresponsible to the Tang Army, and it is also irresponsible to the people of the world! ”

When he said this, he almost pointed at Li Shimin's nose and scolded - is your mother's brain broken?

Yes?

Don't let famous generals like Li Jing and Li Ji go, let me be in charge?

This is not the extent of being kicked in the head by a donkey, this is already the extent of the donkey desperately playing on Li Er's head!

"Haha......"

Li Shimin smiled and said,

"Xu Aiqing, you don't have to be arrogant and self-deprecating!"

Xu Fenglei: "......"

"The minister is not self-deprecating, the minister is just telling the truth."

He replied speechlessly,

"And the minister doesn't think there is any shame in this, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and no one in the world can do everything."

"The minister asks himself to be able to do everything within his part, but the minister really can't do military things, and he doesn't have the talent and brains in this area, please choose another good general!"

"If Your Majesty really can't think of a candidate, the minister thinks that Li Jing is very suitable."
