Chapter 199: Victory
Along the way, Fang Xuanling suddenly said, "I heard that gambling has become a trend in the market now. Are there any of these...?"
Chen Zhengtai didn't expect that Fang Xuanling was also interested in this.
He looked at Fang Xuanling's bruised nose and swollen face, and wanted to show sympathy.
But Chen Zhengtai knew that this man who disliked others' sympathy for him was extremely disgusted with others' sympathy. After all, he was a well-known person. Do he need others' sympathy?
Chen Zhengtai said, "Why, Mr. Fang is also interested?"
Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "What kind of interest can I have for this? But my son is quite interested in it. He invested a lot of money to the No. 3 team, namely the Right Guard. This match was proposed by Zhengtai. I think... you must have some experience, right?"
Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but look at Fang Xuanling with a sympathy and said, "Mr. Fang, is it really the money Lingzi invested?"
Fang Xuanling's face suddenly fell down and scolded: "What do you mean?"
"Has he voted for the No. 3 team?" Chen Zhengtai continued to ask.
Fang Xuanling nodded: "Yes."
Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but say, "Then... I want to ask, if I lost, Lingzi wouldn't be beaten, right?"
Fang Xuanling: "..."
Chen Zhengtai coughed and said, "I mean..."
Fang Xuanling looked at Chen Zhengtai meaningfully, interrupted Chen Zhengtai and said, "He lost money, of course I have to teach him a lesson."
Chen Zhengtai understood in a second, showing a look of mourning.
Looking at Chen Zhengtai's expression, Fang Xuanling was very unhappy: "Why, do you have something to say?"
"No, it's gone." Chen Zhengtai shook his head quickly.
If it's thankless, it's better to say less.
On the contrary, Fang Xuanling suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart: "You have something to say but it's okay."
Chen Zhengtai continued to shake his head: "There is nothing to say, I just ask the housekeeper to take care of him."
After saying this, Fang Xuanling became even more confident and couldn't help but say, "Zhengtai, these No. 3 teams are strong and powerful. With their strength, they must not be underestimated. What's more... Isn't it said in the "Master Classic" that the horses of the Right Guard are the best, not to mention that His Highness Zhao is currently in charge of the venue. I think the Right Guard will get the moon first, and he should be the most familiar with the venue. Why... Will something go wrong in this way? Look, they have at least 70% of the winning rate."
Chen Zhengtai once again felt that Fang Xuanling was quite pitiful, and the dignified prime minister had actually reached this point.
Chen Zhengtai originally planned not to say much, but who told him to have a kind heart? So he lowered his voice and said, "Wang Gong might as well join some Erpigou Cavalry Mansion."
"Hmm?" Fang Xuanling glanced at Chen Zhengtai, and then said meaningfully: "Could it be... the cavalry mansion cheated?"
Chen Zhengtai suddenly widened his eyes and said seriously: "Broad day, in full view of everyone? How can Erpigou Cavalry Mansion cheat? Fang Gongyan is so serious."
When Fang Xuanling heard Chen Zhengtai deny it, he thought about it and felt that it was impossible. Then he stroked his beard and laughed: "Since that's the case, then Erpigou Cavalry Mansion is absolutely impossible to cheat. How can the Erpigou Cavalry Mansion win? I am not fooled by you. Compared with the Imperial Guard Flying Cavalry, you Erpigou are still very tender."
Chen Zhengtai said in surprise: "Mr. Fang... Didn't you say... this is the bet your son made?"
Fang Xuanling was stunned, then stopped the smile on his face, snorted coldly, and said bluntly: "Go away."
"Oh." Chen Zhengtai didn't dare to be arrogant in front of Fang Xuanling. Although this Fang man was afraid of being inside, he was not easy to mess with outside home.
After all, he is the prime minister. If he really wants to punish you, there are a thousand ways.
Chen Zhengtai met Li Shimin in Ziwei Palace. Li Shimin was alone and said with a smile: "I have carefully read your charter and will do it according to your charter!"
"Zhengtai, you always have a way. Now Guanzhong and Guandong are all paying attention to this grand event. The Marseille is good, very good. It can not only allow the military and civilians to enjoy themselves, but also review the cavalry. I heard that all the valets are ready to practice day and night."
Chen Zhengtai said: "We cannot practice the troops to death, otherwise it will inevitably be too boring. If we increase the confrontation, over time, it will not only increase the fun, but also cultivate the people of the world's love for horse riding. Mentor... The Goguryeo, Turks, and Tubo countries have weak national strength and sparse populations, but why... as long as the Central Plains are slightly weak, they can invade a lot?"
"The reason is nothing more than that they are nomadic business and good at riding and shooting. Their people are born warriors, living in difficult places, enduring their bodies and enduring hardships. When our Tang Dynasty rested, they put down their military weapons, got off the horse, and only focused on farming. But if they put down the war, they wanted to pick it up. It was so difficult for people to get off the horse and then turn on themselves. Therefore... the students thought that through these entertainment, everyone would have a strong interest in riding and shooting. Even if the people in the world had one or two adults who loved horses and regarded this confrontational game as fun, then in time, riding and shooting might not be the strength of the Tubo and Turkic people, but became the strength of the Tang Dynasty."
"It's OK." Li Shimin said enthusiastically: "I never thought of this before. After you reminded me, I realized this. Today, peace is not long, so my Iron Cavalry of the Tang Dynasty is still quite powerful, but what I worry about is the future. This Marseille will be done every year in the future."
Chen Zhengtai immediately said, "Mr. Shengming."
Li Shimin glanced at Chen Zhengtai again and then said, "I still heard that everyone is betting outside now, and many people are extremely concerned about the Right Guard?"
Chen Zhengtai also answered truthfully: "Yes, everyone thinks that the winning rate of His Highness Zhao's right guard is quite high."
"Yes." Li Shimin showed a complex look on his face.
To be honest, he is good to the brother King Zhao.
Of course, this is due to the injustice of Li Shimin's country. After all, he only got the world after killing his brothers. In order to block the long-lasting mouths of the people in the world, Li Shimin treated King Zhao extremely favorably.
Therefore, he not only made King Zhao become the governor of Yongzhou, but also became the general of the Right Guard, who was in charge of both the troops and the civil affairs. Yongzhou was the place where the emperor was, and the Right Guard was even more of the imperial guard.
Li Shimin had to think of an important thing: King Zhao was a royal family. If the people in the world were so optimistic about him this time, wouldn’t he even have prestige above me?
Li Shimin sighed and said, "Do you know what I am thinking?"
"Students don't know." Chen Zhengtai quickly answered.
"No." Li Shimin shook his head: "How can you not know that you are so smart? You dare not admit it because you are afraid that I think you are too meticulous. I am a person... I am good at guessing, but I am not good at guessing. The reason I am good at guessing is because I am the emperor, and I can't let others sleep soundly under my bed. I told you the truth, you don't have to be afraid. King Zhao is my brother, I shouldn't have doubted him. His temperament is definitely not a disloyal and unfilial person. But... he is a royal family. Once he has reputation and has mastered the power in the military, there will inevitably be sluts in the Zhao palace."
Speaking of this, Li Shimin sighed and continued: "The most difficult thing in this world is the villain. King Zhao may not obey at the beginning, but over time, it may not be possible."
This time, Li Shimin clearly revealed his thoughts.
Chen Zhengtai immediately said: "What my mentor means is that you can't let the Right Guard win?"
Li Shimin corrected him: "You cannot let King Zhao go astray."
Chen Zhengtai wants to complain, and people always find a beautiful excuse for their own purposes!
"Students understand, then is it... the next secret will..."
"No." Li Shimin shook his head and frowned, "If I issued a secret order, wouldn't it be a shame for him? If it spreads out, others would say that I have no tolerance, and even my brothers would be wary of it."
Chen Zhengtai discovered that Li Shimin was unable to complain about this sentence.
You can't both have face and image, and fucking affordability, right?
"Please don't worry, my teacher."
Li Shimin stared at Chen Zhengtai and said, "Oh, do you have an idea?"
"The Right Guard is absolutely impossible to win." Chen Zhengtai swears: "Not only can the King of Zhao not win, but also... many gamblers who bought the Right Guard are afraid of scolding the King of Zhao's ancestors for the eighth generation."
Li Shimin said with a cold face: "Isn't this a scolding my ancestors?"
Chen Zhengtai: "…"
Li Shimin's face calmed down: "It seems that you have an idea again?"
"I don't have an idea, but this time, the students are determined to win, and Erpigou Cavalry Mansion will win!" Chen Zhengtai had a unique charm of a young man at this time, and he said it was certain.
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but think, are you thinking, are you thinking? I have said so much in front of you, and you just say this?
This stupid guy.
"Don't your teacher believe it?"
Li Shimin smiled and said, "There is a number of days to win. How can we decide? Just let's just say, if King Zhao wins this time, he will win. Can I still not hold on to a mere brother? You, Erpigou Cavalry Mansion, practice hard, if you get good results, I will also be rewarded."
OK, another one doesn't believe it.
Chen Zhengtai had no choice but to say, "Thank you, my teacher."
After coming out of the palace, Chen Zhengtai rushed straight to the cavalry camp.
The soldiers from the cavalry camp were on the racetrack almost every day.
The racetrack is also specially made. In order to adapt to various terrains, even if people transport sand, they have to simulate a ‘desert’.
Su Lie was a very harsh person. The training standards he set were very strict, and no one was allowed to question. He treated every cavalry and even required them to ride on horseback for food.
At first, these new soldiers could not bear it. They had been bleeding from the horse's back countless times, but the wound had scabs, and then new injuries were added, and finally they had a calluse, which made them slowly begin to adapt.
In fact, this kind of high-intensity exercise does not exist in other battalions. No matter how strict the general led the troops, the continuous exercise is extremely costly and unacceptable.
