Just seeing Li Xiaogong's handsome face made me feel a little depressed again.
Li Shimin can be considered a rare handsome man, but compared with his cousin Li Xiaogong, he is still a little behind.
I remember when we were young, we went to a brothel together to have fun.
Almost all the cowards rushed into Li Xiaogong's arms first.
When it was Li Shimin's turn, Li Xiaogong almost always chose the rest.
Before Li Shimin became emperor, Li Xiaogong often joked about this matter, which made Li Shimin extremely depressed every time.
Therefore, even though he knew that Cheng Yaojin was joking, Li Shimin did not stop him.
Seeing that Li Xiaogong was defeated, Li Shimin certainly would not miss the opportunity. He chuckled and said teasingly: "Since the prince of Hejian County is so elegant, let's give it a try and let me experience the power of the generals of the Tang Dynasty again."
As expected, Li Shimin's mood suddenly improved a lot.
The rest of the civil servants and generals were also veterans and well versed in the ways of officialdom. Of course, they also saw Cheng Yaojin's purpose, so they all applauded.
The originally silent atmosphere became lively again.
Li Xiaogong had a sad face and couldn't laugh or cry.
If there was a competition in formation of troops, Li Xiaogong really could not defeat anyone in the entire Tang Dynasty except Li Jing.
But in terms of bravery, among the many generals, Li Xiaogong was not ranked at all.
In addition, in recent years, in order to avoid Li Shimin's suspicion, he drank and had fun all day long, and his body became as weak as a woman's.
How could he propose to compete with Mr. Cheng now?
I finally saw it.
Cheng Yaojin, an old guy, obviously wanted to make a fool of himself in public in order to win the laughter of His Majesty Li Er.
It's so abominable!
This old guy looks very rude, but in fact he is extremely shrewd. A simple joke can put Li Shimin in a good mood.
Anyone who dares to underestimate him will suffer big losses.
But this old guy is too hateful. Why did so many people at the banquet come to find him?
However, Li Xiaogong is not stupid, how can he get what Cheng Yaojin wants.
He stood up and said to Li Shimin, who was watching the excitement and said it was not a big deal: "Your Majesty, I have had a few too many drinks today and my hands and feet are weak. I have to admit defeat. Let's give up the wrestling for now. Next time!"
"The Prince of Hejian County is not drunk. He is obviously exhausted from looking for flowers and willows. You should pay more attention to your health!" Cheng Yaojin laughed and joked.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Everyone knew that this was just a joke made by Cheng Yaojin to distract His Majesty Li Er, and of course they would not force Li Xiaogong.
Looking at Li Shimin clapping his hands and laughing heartily, Li Xiaogong looked depressed.
His Majesty Li Er really holds a grudge, it must be intentional.
But he could only vent his anger on the wine glass in front of him.
Just when everyone thought the matter had been revealed, Li Tai stood up and said:
"Father, today is a day of celebration for the whole world, and there are so many envoys from various countries here. How about we let Duke Lu select one of them to compete and also add some fun to everyone?"
Cheng Yaojin's face suddenly turned dark, and he thought to himself, do you think I am an actor?
Is it just for your enjoyment?
He secretly scolded Li Tai for being too lackluster!
Do you really think you are His Majesty Li Er?
Before Cheng Yaojin could refute, the Turkic envoy Ashina Siyun jumped out and said with disdain:
"We Turks are all warriors, and there are many brave men among them. Since the general of the Tang Dynasty has such a refined spirit, Ashina Siyun is willing to accompany him."
Ashina Siyun's arrogant expression immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of many Tang generals present.
Many people know this Ashina Siyun. This guy took advantage of the situation and robbed the Tang Dynasty in 626.
I heard that Ashina Siyun was extremely arrogant on the banks of the Weishui River at that time.
If it weren't for the fact that after the Eastern Turks were destroyed, the Western Turks were now intimidated by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and took the initiative to surrender. They would have already taught him a lesson!
Now this guy actually dared to jump out, just looking for a fight, and everyone asked for a fight.
Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and rolled up his sleeves: "Everyone, please be patient for now. I haven't hit anyone for a long time, and my hands are itchy. Hmph, I don't know how high-minded the guy is. Since he deserves a beating, I won't be polite."
Ashina Siyun squinted his eyes and glanced at the generals, and said in Chinese stumblingly: "General Tang Dynasty is not good. When I led my troops to the banks of the Weishui River, I did not encounter any resistance..."
Not only were the generals angry, Li Shimin was also angered by these frivolous words.
Although I wanted to kill this guy, I also knew that it was not appropriate to fall out with the Turks in this situation.
So he said in a deep voice: "General Cheng will discuss with this Turkic envoy until the point is reached."
"promise!"
Cheng Yaojin chuckled, responded, turned to Ashina Siyun, hooked his fingers, and sneered: "I am a guest from afar, I will give you a hand, come up quickly and get beaten."
Ashina Siyun was furious.
No one in Turks has ever dared to speak to me like this, and no one has ever dared to look down on me so much.
With a cold snort, he rushed towards Cheng Yaojin like a wild bull.
Cheng Yaojin was not afraid of the tall and strong Ashina Siyun.
However, he also secretly became vigilant, with one hand attached to his back and the other hand waving a fist as big as a sandbag to meet him.
The two men were fighting hand to hand, and their fists collided with each other, making constant banging noises, making them appear to be fierce and powerful.
Ashina Siyun was indeed ruthless, hitting Cheng Yaojin's vital parts with every move.
Cheng Yaojin, on the other hand, looked evenly matched because he only used one hand to deal with it.
The two of them were going back and forth, and for a while no one could do anything to the other.
The civil and military ministers sitting here cheered and cheered, and the noise was endless, igniting the atmosphere of the whole scene.
However, seeing that Ashina Siyun could only attack Cheng Yaojin's upper three routes, and all of them were using third-rate means, everyone angrily shouted: "Grandma, this barbarian is so sinister. Old Cheng, attack him..."
The two fought for a while. Although Ashina Siyun was not weak, he was more than a step behind Cheng Yaojin.
If Cheng Yaojin hadn't given up his hand, he would have been beaten to pieces.
Seeing Ashina Siyun's strength gradually weakening, Cheng Yaojin looked for an opening and punched Ashina Siyun on the shoulder with lightning speed.
With just a click, Ashina Siyun felt like he was hit by a galloping horse. He flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground. He couldn't get up for a long time.
"good……"
"General Cheng is mighty..."
"You know how powerful our Tang Dynasty is. Beat this idiot to death."
The civil and military ministers present clapped their hands and applauded, everyone uttered obscene words and mocked him to the best of his ability, and bursts of laughter erupted in an instant.
Ashina Siyun covered his drooped shoulders and stood up shakily. It was obvious that he was dislocated.
However, although his red face was distorted by pain, he did not utter a cry. He was indeed a ruthless person.
Seeing the ridicule of the courtiers, Ashina Siyun felt a little uneasy on his face. He gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Although I have been defeated, there are as many Turkic warriors as stars in the sky. If you have the ability, let's give it another try."
"Hmph, the Turks really can't afford to lose. Are they trying to bully us in the Tang Dynasty?" Seeing that the Turkic envoy was so stubborn even after losing, everyone criticized him one after another.
Some generals of the Tang Dynasty seemed very excited. After all, they had not yet shown their skills in front of His Majesty Li Er.
So he retorted: "Come on, I'm still afraid of you, but I will beat your warrior until he cries for his mother and calls for his father."
Seeing this, Ashina Siyun smiled coldly and immediately ordered to call someone.
