Seeing Li You's appearance, the officials finally relaxed. It seemed that King Qi's abilities were about the same. He was sufficiently monstrous. They had to admit that they couldn't afford to cause any more trouble.
Other people in the imperial court were all sent to their deaths by the Emperor, but here we are. We've let the Emperor's son die of amazement. It's considered unprecedented.
However, it seemed that Li You did not know that the horses had suffered a lot of losses during the training of the cavalry. That was why he was completely dumbfounded.
It seemed that there were things that he couldn't solve.
This is more like it. This shows the powerlessness that humans should have and is closer to ordinary people like us.
This was what a good comrade should be like. Why was he always so unreachable?
"You 'er, don't be depressed. You're already very good. There are many things that can't be changed by human power. You don't have to take it to heart.”Li Shimin smiled and comforted Li You.
Li Tai, Li Chengqian, take a look. This is what a good prince should do. You only know how to scheme against each other every day. You really disappoint me.
"Uh, Father, you misunderstood." Li You didn't know whether to laugh or cry." I'm just thinking about what you and the other lords are going to bet with me. I have an absolute way to solve the problem of flattery loss."？”
Li Shi Min and the ministers almost fell down. Damn it, brat, I thought you were in a bad mood and was trying to comfort you.
In the end, you're still thinking about how to bet with us. Aren't you a little too confident?
"You 'er, didn't you hear Medicine Master's words just now?”Li Shi Min couldn't help but remind him again,""The loss of horses is determined by the heavens and cannot be changed by human strength. Stop fooling around. You have already done very well. I will reward you later.”
Li Shi Min was afraid that the officials would not let go and cause Li You a lot of trouble, so he protected him like this.
If it were a sensible person, they might have stood back obediently. However, Li You was obviously not a good boy and was unwilling to be honest.
"Imperial Father, your son is willing to use the method of training the soldiers as a bet. I wonder if Imperial Father and the other generals are willing to bet?”Li You was like a weird uncle holding a lollipop, tempting everyone.
"Let's bet!" Before the other generals could react, Li Shiming was the first to shout. The ministers were shocked and all eyes fell on Li Shiming, causing him to cough awkwardly.
"Cough cough, since you want to solve the problem for the country, I can't reject your good intentions.”Li Shi Min said seriously," For this bet, I will still choose a good horse among the six. It will not be considered a loss to your training strategy. What do you think?"”
He didn't know what Li You meant, but in the eyes of the officials, Li Shiming was shameless.
Everything he said just now was for his son's sake, but now he was actually using a horse in exchange for training.
It was already impressive for a horse to live for decades, but it still died in the end. How could it be compared to such a long-term strategy? It was obviously at an advantage.
However, they were father and son, so there was nothing they could do if they were willing to play like this.
With Li Shi Min and these two leading the way, the rest of the people began to be tempted. Among the generals, even Li Jing had offered 500 strings of money as gambling capital. It seemed that he was also very interested in the training strategy of the children's army.
Don't think that only generals participated in this gamble. Civil officials were also included.
Fang Xuanling, Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang, Wei Ting, Ma Zhou, and even Zhangsun Wuji, who had just finished his first day of court, placed his bets.
The Great Tang did not value literature over martial arts. On the contrary, due to the instability of the situation, the nobility of the Great Tang could only be conferred by martial arts. Thus, the status of generals was often higher than that of civil officials.
Therefore, civil officials were also very interested in training soldiers. At least, with this, they could teach their children to learn. In the future, it would be good to have a certain background.
"Lord Zhangsun, you're giving me face. Why don't you spit out blood?”Li You asked with a wicked smile.
If it were any other person, they would probably be angered to death upon hearing such mockery, but who was Zhangsun Wuji? He was the number one schemer in the Great Tang, an absolute big shot.
"Thank you for thinking of me, King Qi. I've already recovered.”Zhangsun Wuji laughed as if he did not hear Li You's sarcasm.
Li You nodded. This old fox Zhangsun was indeed not simple. However, he was not afraid. As long as he dared to provoke him, the old fox would also skin him alive.
"Since Lord Zhangsun has recovered, I'll have to trouble you to help.”Li You smiled and said," This King knows that no one brought cash with them for the bet. So, we'll follow the old rules. Everyone comes to Lord Zhangsun to sign the IOU and then hand it over to This King." Everyone, don't be anxious. Line up one by one. Imperial Father, you are no exception. As the saying goes, even father and son have to settle accounts clearly.”
Li Shimin and the ministers were furious. Last time, it was like this. Li You forced him to write an IOU. Today, it was happening again. This was the same scene.
Li You checked with satisfaction. After confirming that the numbers were correct, he smiled evilly at Li Shiming and the ministers.
"Father, lords, have you never thought that you can wear shoes for flattery?”
P.S.: The sixth update is here. I hope everyone will support me. Speaking of which, it's Monday at midnight. When the time comes, everyone will be eager to sign up and support me!
