Chapter 305: A slap, a sweet date

Cui Hongdao was shocked when he heard this. He suddenly had a bad premonition. What was the emperor in front of him doing? Betting with the emperor seems to have never happened before. Because if you win, you will die, and if you lose, you will die.

.Only those heroes will gamble with the lives of the country, and they are qualified to gamble with the emperor. If they win, they will get the life of the country. Although Cui Hongdao is the head of the family, and the Guandong family follows his lead, but if

Asking him to make a bet as an emperor was something he had never done before. He had also never thought about it.

"Your Majesty wants to make a bet, so of course there is a stake." Cen Wenwen on the side seemed to be interested and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I am bold and willing to be the notary public. I have proposed this bet. Your Majesty thought that

How about it?" At this time, Changsun Wuji and others who were waiting on the side also turned their attention from the audience to the stage. They were all paying attention to everything on the stage. The emperor's bet was not just for fun.

There are many things in it, and these things can be carefully considered, and maybe a hint of the emperor's thoughts can be seen. Only in this way can we deal with it calmly.

"Mr. Cen, want to be a notary public?" Lu Zhaoci also showed a look of surprise on his face, as if he was also surprised by the appearance of Cen Wenwen. However, in the eyes of outsiders, it seemed that both the monarch and the minister were present.

The calculation is the same.

"Please allow your Majesty," Cen Wenwen said while bending down.

"What does the state leader think? Is Mr. Cen qualified?" Lu Zhaoci turned to Cui Hongdao again.

"Sir, you are the chief minister of the dynasty. If you are not qualified, I'm afraid no one else will be. Just follow your advice!" Cui Hongdao said calmly. Since His Majesty has already taken action, he can only accept the challenge. He does not believe it.

, two grassroots figures can be compared with a son of an aristocratic family who has been trained for more than ten years.

"If Your Majesty wins, it means that the generals and captains from the aristocratic families are not good enough in combat. I would like to let them attend the martial arts middle school for a year and a half, and then let them lead troops in war." Cen Wenwen said.

He said calmly.

"What if I lose?" Lu Zhaoci asked with a half-smile.

"This, this." Cen Wenwen had a look of embarrassment on his face.

"How about your majesty please pardon Mr. Cui?" At this time, a voice suddenly came over. Everyone frowned and looked over, but they saw it was Cui Li, the governor of Zezhou. He didn't know when he came on the stage. When he saw everyone

Looking over, he quickly knelt down in front of Lu Zhaoci, bowed his head and said.

"Cui Li? Haha, Cui Li." Lu Zhaoci burst out laughing when he saw this, pointed at Cui Li and said to Cui Hongdao: "Abbott, what do you think of Cui Li's opinion?"

"Everything is decided by Your Majesty, I have nothing to say." Cui Hongdao thought for a while and quickly responded.

"Sir, what do you think?" Lu Zhaoci asked Cen Wenwen again.

"Your Majesty, it is for his own good that the loser is allowed to study martial arts. In fact, this is not a punishment, but a reward. But if Your Majesty loses, Master Cui must be released. This seems a bit inappropriate!

"When Cen Wenwen heard this, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter is inappropriate." Changsun Wuji also said: "How can this bet be played in this way? Cui Li, you are taking the opportunity to blackmail His Majesty. Your Majesty has always insisted on governing the country according to the law. If the prince violates the law,

He is guilty of the same crime as the common people. How can your Majesty release someone just because of a bet? How will your Majesty be able to govern the country in the future?"

"This?" Lu Zhaoci had a look of embarrassment on his face after hearing this.

"Your Majesty." Cui Hongdao cupped his hands gently, his voice calm.

"Okay, that's it!" Lu Zhaoci waved his hand and said to Li Jing and Xu Shiji who were beside him: "The two beloved ministers went to the two armies to supervise everything. Brother Jing, you will sit in command of General Lu Lang.

Maogong, you go to Xue Rengui's army. Go to Ba Shang and the Xiliu camp of the former Han Dynasty. It is limited to three days. What do you think, Zhang Guo?"...

"Your Majesty is very fair." Cui Hongdao also nodded. Because the former Xiliu Camp had not been rested for a long time, it had long become a land of mountains and swamps, which could be used as a training venue.

"King Liang, you lead these generals and lieutenants who came from all over the country to sit in the martial arts school and collect all the information on the exercises. In the future, we can form a routine. Every martial arts student who is about to graduate will have to go through this kind of exercise.

, can you win the title of General." Lu Zhaoci waved his hand again and said to Lu Zhaoying beside him.

"I accept my order." Lu Zhaoying showed a hint of excitement on his face.

"Your Majesty, these people are all captains of the provincial armies. Captains, once these people are lost everywhere, it may not be good for the stability of the place. Your Majesty, please take a closer look." Zheng Renji, who was among the crowd, was shocked when he saw this.

He quickly raised his hands and said.

"In today's peaceful and prosperous times, there are no bandits. What's more, this is not the time to recruit troops. What does it matter if these generals, captains, and captains stay in Chang'an for three or two days? Mr. Zheng is overly worried." Changsun

Wuji glanced at Zheng Renji, with a hint of sarcasm and coldness in the corner of his mouth, a trace of murderous intent in his fat face, and a cold sweat on Zheng Renji's face with his cold eyes. But when he thought of the consequences of this matter, he felt even more sad in his heart.

Worried, I glanced at the crowd and saw Wei Ting standing among the bachelors of Xuande Hall. He quickly pointed his eyes.

"Your Majesty." Wei Ting sighed deeply and was about to speak. Suddenly a figure flashed in front of him and he looked over, only to see Fang Xuanling coming out of the crowd. He only heard him say: "Your Majesty, I think this is a good thing.

solve."

"Xuanling, please tell me." Lu Zhaoci glanced at Wei Ting coldly. Wei Ting was so frightened that he quickly pulled back his raised leg and did not dare to speak again.

"Your Majesty can allow the students who graduated this time to serve as deputy positions in the army of various places. Temporarily acting as an agent for the army of various places is also a kind of training! After all, sometimes, what you learn from books still requires your own personal experience.

You can use your talents." Fang Xuanling said.

"Well, Xuan Ling is absolutely right." Lu Zhaoci nodded, glanced at the crowd, and said: "This is a task of the General Staff Headquarters. Brother Jing, if you have something to do, let Keming handle it.

!Let Ma Zhou assist him on the side."

"I obey the decree."

"I obey the decree."

Du Ruhui and Ma Zhou came out of the crowd and took over the matter in an instant. Everyone present did not even react, and looked at the two people and retreated. Cui Hongdao, Zheng Renji and others looked as black as pots.

They are all ordinary, but there is nothing they can do about it. These guys are die-hard members of the imperial court. Although they are going to serve as deputy positions below, everyone can see the mystery behind it. If the family members win in this exercise,

These people are a constraint. If the sons of the aristocratic family fail, then these people can become chief officials in an instant. This is the coup of today's emperor. Unfortunately, it is too late to oppose at this time. Look at the Zuo Yiwei army around here

, is the clear evidence.

"Go and call Xue Rengui and the others!" Lu Zhaoci ignored everyone's thoughts and ordered Qin Jiudao next to him.

"Generals Xue Li and Su Tong pay their respects to Your Majesty. Please forgive me for wearing my armor. I will greet you with military salutes." Xue Rengui and Su Tong stepped onto the general platform together and said with cupped hands.

"Okay, okay, that's very good." Lu Zhaoci stood up, stepped forward and patted the two of them on the shoulders and said, "Although I am the head of the mountain, I am very ashamed and did not teach you. However, I have never taught you

Forget you, you are my students, disciples of the emperor, and like those who passed the imperial examination, you are the pillars of the imperial court. Although the opponents in this exercise are battle-hardened generals, I think you will definitely be able to win

Victory will not disappoint my expectations for you.”….

"I will swear allegiance to Your Majesty and the Tang Dynasty." Xue Rengui and Su Tong shouted loudly with their eyes shining brightly. Although there were only two of them, their voices shook the whole country, and their heroic spirit was so high.

"Okay, okay." Lu Zhaoci nodded repeatedly, pointed at the hundreds of people in the audience, and said with a smile: "They will take you as an example. They will be proud of you. You will witness the fact that martial arts talents

It is the cradle of generals. It is the pillar of the imperial military. It is the guarantee for the victory of the Tang Dynasty in foreign wars." Lu Zhaoci's voice was so loud that it spread throughout the square.

There were bursts of cheers. Even Cen Wenwen and others were shocked by the cheers.

"The military spirit is available!" Changsun Wuji sighed deeply, with a thoughtful look on his face. From now on, martial arts will be an important pillar of the empire, but today, today, he is the leader of martial arts. Here is

Isn't there some mystery? Changsun Wuji suddenly felt as if he had seen through Lu Zhaoci's arrangement.

"Your Majesty. Alas!" Cui Hongdao sighed deeply when he saw this. He still doesn't know the purpose of this matter, so he is not worthy to be the head of a noble family. Lu Zhaoci in front of him has already done what he has done to the noble family.

Because he was angry, this was also the result of the last leak. In the military, today's emperor can no longer allow the son of aristocratic family members to participate in military affairs. Because it is very unsafe. So he vigorously cultivates martial arts and adheres to the spirit of loyalty and filial piety.

Train these students to make them loyal to the emperor and the Tang Dynasty. Then let them join the army. Start from the bottom, climb up step by step, control the army, make the army of the Tang Dynasty always loyal to the emperor, and make the aristocratic families have no

Any reliance would further expand the influence of the imperial power. Unfortunately, it was already too late for Cui Hongdao to think of this. The matter was irreversible. It is conceivable that as these students who graduated from martial arts joined the army, officers from aristocratic families would have more influence on the army.

The intensity of control will be reduced to the lowest point. More importantly, the establishment of a standing army that will be implemented soon will be a further purge and integration of the army by Emperor Zhenguan. In addition to the real military talents,

There will no longer be freeloaders. The number of people in the grassroots class will further increase. It’s just that I didn’t think of this. Most of the generals and captains from aristocratic families in the army rushed over, and everything happened in front of me.

Look, Zuo Yiwei's army is stationed around, obviously to guard against everyone.

"Your Majesty, I am tired and want to go back first." Cui Hongdao has given up any hope on whether the exercise will be successful. He has seen through everything in it, and he wants to go back and think of countermeasures to prevent the interests of the aristocratic family from being harmed.

"Haha, I'm going to drive back to the palace. Don't be weak and let's go together!" Lu Zhaoci said with a smile: "Brother Jing, Prince Liang, I will leave everything here to you."

"I obey the order." Li Jing and Lu Zhaoying quickly handed over their hands and obeyed the order.

"Okay! Let's get going!" Lu Zhaoci nodded. In an instant, he nodded on the general platform, and heard Qin Jiudao's high-pitched voice, but it was Luan Jia who set off towards Chang'an, with behind him

, there were countless sounds of mountain calls.

In the carriage, Lu Zhaoci was smiling broadly. Sitting across from him were Cen Wenwen and Changsun Wuji. The carriage was very spacious, and although the three of them were all sitting in it, it did not seem crowded.

"Your Majesty is far-sighted and far-sighted, and this is something that only ministers can guess." Cen Wenwen showed a wry smile. Not only was the successful resolution of the original leak of secrets greatly reducing the power of the aristocratic family in the military, but more importantly,

After this calculation, it can be imagined that the martial arts students who have always followed Lu Zhaoci's lead will stand more firmly on the side of today's world and work hard to form a standing army. It can be said that Lu Zhaoci's actions are closely linked.

, there is no room for others to refuse. When others notice, the layout of today's world has been completed and the rice is waiting to be harvested. Look, those martial arts students have already gone down, but those generals and lieutenants from aristocratic families are still there.

In the martial arts, I am accompanying His Royal Highness Liang Wang! It is said that he pays attention to everything in the exercise, but in fact, it is to encircle them in the martial arts and be guarded by the Zuo Yiwei army. In this way, no matter what is happening in this exercise

What is the final result? These people will eventually become part of the martial arts, and even this part is difficult. This is His Majesty's method...

"Your Majesty, although this standing army is easy to set up, the amount of money, food and grass consumed in it is a huge amount. Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue does not have much food and grass, so the money is used by Your Majesty. There is also preparation for the general's departure next year.

Ah!" Changsun Wuji glanced at Cen Wenwen, with a wry smile on his lips. The establishment of a standing army has become a major trend and is unstoppable. Both of them are smart people, and they looked at each other with a wry smile.

"Don't worry, dear dears, I have already considered this." Lu Zhaoci said with a smile: "The wealth of the Guandong family for hundreds of years can be used to support my army."

"Your Majesty, are you ready to take action against the Guandong Family?" Changsun Wuji's expression changed upon hearing this, and he couldn't help but wave his hands: "Your Majesty, I think it's not the right time to take action against the Guandong Family, so please think again."

"Haha, don't worry, auxiliary machine. Your Majesty does things that are beyond the understanding of your ministers. If I guess correctly, your Majesty is going to hit the Guandong family hard on the price of food." Cen Wenwen said with a smile: "This is what I got.

The money plus the compensation from the Turks last time is enough for Your Majesty to form a quite powerful standing army. Your Majesty, I don’t know that my guess is reasonable.”

"Sir is a man of great wisdom, and what he said is not wrong at all." Lu Zhaoci's face straightened, he nodded and said: "When a dynasty is established, it is inevitable to reward meritorious officials, so I have given them titles. These people have
To be continued...
