After all, he was an emperor from a military background.

Li Shimin would not blame Chen Zhengtai for using force to solve the problem.

What he hates is loss.

Therefore... if you say you don't have any worries, it's impossible.

What is Japan? Go to compete with them? If you lose, the entire Tang Dynasty will lose face.

Judging from the description in the newspaper, Chen Zhengtai was quite proud and complacent, and only asked the Japanese to select candidates for the competition from his few guards.

And the Japanese people chose the troops at will.

This is obviously unfair.

Seeing Li Shimin like this, Changsun Wuji remembered something and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the Japanese are good at fighting bravely and ruthlessly. The country is ignorant and polite. The princes raise warriors. If the warriors want to be respected, they have to practice sword skills day and night. These warriors have been with swords all their lives and should not be underestimated."

This is the truth.

Li Shimin said disdainfully: "It's just a mere Japanese country, I don't take it seriously!"

After pausing, he said again: But... Chen Zhengtai has some guards in his hand, but I don't know, just because he is afraid that he will be careless and underestimate the enemy. He is too young. Although he is extremely smart, it is not impossible to be careless for a moment."

As he said that, Li Shimin frowned and asked, "When will this fight take place?"

"Three minutes at noon."

"Where is the fight?"

"Ping'anfang..."

Li Shimin couldn't help but be stunned.

I have to say that Chen Zhengtai really knows how to choose a place!

You should know that this Ping'anfang is not far from Tai Chi Gate. Standing on the city tower of Tai Chi Gate, you can see the movements there from afar.

Because Ping'an Square is close to the palace, it has always been the residence of princes and ministers. Chen Zhengtai deliberately chose this place, but it seemed that the palace instructed him to do so.

Li Shimin sighed and said, "I have used lunch, so I will go and have a look."

Changsun Wuji seized the opportunity and said hurriedly: "I will go with you."

Of course, I have to go there too, so I don’t mind watching the fun.

Dou Lukuan's face was green and red, and it seemed like he was holding it in for a long time before he said, "I am the Minister of Rites. I should go and see it, but I still think..."

Li Shimin is now focused on martial arts competitions, so he is not in the mood to listen to his complaints, and waves his hand and says, "Since I ask Chen Zhengtai to deal with the matter of sending the Tang envoys of the Three Kingdoms, I will use people without doubt, and I don't need to doubt people. Although this kid Meng Lang, the affairs of the Three Kingdoms are not related to the Ministry of Rites now, so don't worry."

Doulukuan: "…"

His face turned even more ugly.

Everyone has something to worry about.

Dou Lukuan’s worries are not groundless, like Chen Zhengtai? If he loses at that time, he might escape by relying on his holy grace. In the end, will he have to wipe his butt from the Ministry of Rites?

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were also worried about the impact of this matter.

Li Shimin was more worried about winning or losing? He did not want to see the record of the Tang Dynasty defeating the Japanese in the history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties after Qianqiu.

I have won a lifetime of victory? How can I allow myself to be insulted?

Just thinking about this possibility is enough for him to feel bad!

…………

This neighbor has been going crazy for a long time.

As Fang Xuanling said, only the court will care about these influences and gains and losses? But for ordinary people, when they see the reward, they are like the New Year.

There was a huge increase in the crowds in Ping'anfang, and they were all here to watch the fun.

Merchants from other places? Local enthusiasts? Nearby merchants, peddlers from all over the world, and countless gamblers who have bet in gambling houses.

Today, the imperial guards everywhere seemed to have been infected with a plague. Nearly half of the people took leave of absence from a battalion? They didn’t say they had stomach problems, they were injured in their legs. There were also many people? They were either their parents were sick or their grandfather’s first seven.

The military officers were swaying their beards and staring at them? They couldn't help but scold them, but the people who took leave were still like crucian carp trees crossing the river.

Finally, I simply closed the gate and said a fucking false? At this time today, even if I die, I will die in the camp.

Because the envoys sent to Tang in the Three Kingdoms did not live in Honglu Temple, they only found an inn here in the West City.

Two or three inns nearby were booked.

The Dogsan Mita-gu has not slept all night, and they are discussing the competition with Fuyuhong and Silla's envoy to send Tang to the Tang Dynasty.

The news has reached the mission, and the mission sharpens their knives.

After all, for the Japanese samurai, if they can represent the Japanese in war and deal with the guards of the few marquis of the Tang Dynasty, as long as they win, they can make great contributions immediately.

The people who came to ask for the battle came one after another.

The Mita-Sae was very pleased, but he was more than 90% sure.

It’s not that he underestimated Chen Zhengtai, but that if he was facing famous generals like Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin, he might be a little timid. The Mita-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-Sagata-S

"The Tang Dynasty is just like this." Inugao Mita-Tao sent Tang envoys and Fuyu Hong said, "I have received a message."

"Oh?" Fu Yuhong was actually worried all night. Now that he heard about the news, Fu Yuhong was shocked.

"It was said that this competition was not in line with the customs of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty claimed that it was a country of etiquette, and had never happened to the envoys of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore... this competition had been calculated long ago. Chen Zhengtai was the favorite minister of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. This person... was best at making money."

Fu Yuhong said in confusion: "Making money? What does this have to do with making money?"

"Just in this competition, the favorite thing in the market is betting, so today's news came out that all the gambling shops have issued odds. Think about it, if these Tang people make bets, they will naturally bet on the Chen family to win. After all... in their eyes, they are their own people."

Fu Yuhong suddenly understood something and couldn't help but say, "But in fact, Chen Zhengtai's purpose is not to win, but to lose?"

"That's true." Inugumi Mita-Ta-Go took a breath: "This is a bet that everyone in Chang'an participates in. If everyone bets on the Chen family, how much will the Chen family lose if they lose? The Chen family is probably preparing a large sum of money and secretly betting on our warriors. So on the surface, their Chen family lost, but in fact... they can make a fortune with this!"

Fu Yuhong found it incredible: "Is this...the news reliable?"

"Very reliable." Inugu Mita-Ta-Si swears: "I have come to the Tang Dynasty twice and have met and made some friends. This news came from the Chen family. There is an uncle in the Chen family who loves to be optimistic and the news came from him quietly."

Fu Yuhong suddenly felt cold in his heart when he heard this, it was so terrible: "In order to make money, he did not hesitate to do so? Aren't he worried about the blame of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Where has there been no such favorite ministers? Their biggest characteristic is that they have gained the trust of the king! If they lose the competition, they will be blamed by the emperor, so how can they talk about being spoiled?"

"If so..." Fuyu Hong said thoughtfully: "This will make the explanation smooth! No wonder the Korean Duke only let the guards fight with the elite samurai of your country. It turns out that... the purpose is here, and this person is really useless measures."

Mida Sui Inuguchi smiled and said, "So this time, my samurai and I also bought my great victory in Japan. Unfortunately, the news leaked a lot, so the odds of buying the Japanese victory were much lower. Otherwise... I would have made a lot of money with the Chen family."

Fuyuhong was immediately moved. Who thought that the money was too much? He also wanted to bet.

The envoy of Silla's Tang suddenly stood up and said, "I remembered that I still have some things to take care of and say goodbye."

As he said that, he left in a hurry.

Midasa Inugura smiled and looked at the back of the envoy of Silla's Tang Dynasty. At this time, Zhizhu said: "Today, it is the time to demonstrate our country's divine power. There are a large number of warriors I have brought, all of which are first-class warriors in our country, and they are more than enough to deal with those guards. As long as we wait for a great victory, then... Baekje doesn't have to worry about the Tang Dynasty. Although their navy is powerful, as long as Baekje has some precautions, why worry about the Tang Dynasty's navy? As long as they dare not get off the ship and fight in an early stage, Baekje will be as stable as a rock. At that time, our three kingdoms will just submit a new letter of nationality, and the Tang Dynasty will never allow the Tang Dynasty to reach in."

Fu Yuhong also had some confidence and nodded and said, "If this is the case, it would be a blessing for Baekje."

Inugashi Mita-Tao said: "It is only better if Baekje is protected by our country. As long as we win this time, even if Baekje pays tribute to the Tang Dynasty, he will still need to pay tribute to our country. This Tang Dynasty is the emperor in the west, while our emperor is the emperor in the sunrise country in the east. Baekje should work with his ministers and courtesy."

Fu Yuhong knew in his heart that this was the Japanese taking advantage of the situation. Of course... Introducing Japan to check and balance the Tang Dynasty was the current national policy of Baekje to protect himself. He nodded without hesitation: "At that time, I will discuss with my king after returning to China."

Midasaki Inugumi smiled slightly, and he knew that this time, Japan was a big advantage.

……………………

It was almost noon, and Ping'anfang was already overcrowded.

There are all kinds of half-true and half-false news circulating in nearby taverns.

At this time, the vast Japanese mission had already set out. When they appeared, the Chang'an servants had to help them maintain order.

However, the people from the Korean Duke’s Mansion have not yet appeared. Many people are looking forward to it. If they don’t see them, it is inevitable that some people will mutter.

I won't come, everyone has bets.

According to various news circulating now, it is very likely that the Chen family took the opportunity to make money this time, so there are many people who bet on the Japanese samurai.

All the money has been invested, but your Chen family has not come yet. What does this mean?

Finally... at noon, several four-wheeled carriages came slowly, and it was the Chen family's car!

Chen Zhengtai was sitting in the carriage at this time and felt his head hurt.

He heard all kinds of rumors, and one of the sources of the rumors was most likely his uncle.

This uncle was a little unethical and actually fooled people to bet on the Japanese. Chen Zhengtai had already planned to set off. After hearing the news, he hurriedly called his third uncle.

At this time, Chen Zhengtai and his third uncle were in the same car. The third uncle sat on the other side, closed his eyes, and acted as if he was beaten to death and refused to admit it: "I didn't say it, I really didn't say it, I swear to the sky, I swear..."

Chen Zhengtai looked speechless. Looking at the third uncle's attitude, he was most likely to swear by the Chen family. When he thought of this, he was frightened and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, don't swear, it's really possible that it will be struck by lightning."

The third uncle sighed and said with a grievance: "You just don't believe me? How could I make people angry and destroy my own prestige?"

Chen Zhengtai said: "But uncle, I heard... you secretly gave up hundreds of thousands of coins to bet on our Chen family."

Uncle San suddenly widened his eyes and said with confidence: "Our Chen family, of course we buy ourselves."

Chen Zhengtai said: "I don't mean that, I mean..."
