Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 904 I was bitten by a snake for ten years and I was afraid of the rope

Su Cheng entered the inner courtyard with his hands behind his back. Princess Changle laughed and said, "I heard that Princess Silla came to visit?"

"Yuan Gai Suwen used my banner to encourage Gao Jianwu to send troops. How could the people of Silla not know? They questioned me today when they were in court, and of course they will come to find me now!" Su Cheng explained with a smile.

Princess Changle asked curiously, "What did you say?"

Su Cheng smiled and said: "What else can I say? It's just that I want to support the imperial court to send troops, and I also sent a large box of treasure."

"A large box of treasures has been sent?" Princess Changle couldn't help but feel amused when she heard that, sending treasures?There is no shortage of this at home.

Su Cheng nodded and said: "Yes, it is said that they were selected from their palace. It is estimated that for this mission, the palace of Silla was also emptied."

Princess Changle was still very indifferent after hearing this, but Cui Mo and the others next to her couldn't help their eyes brightening. It must be from the treasures in the palace, right?

Su Cheng slightly shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm not ashamed to accept it. On the one hand, I'm really embarrassed. On the other hand, Silla is indeed a small country, and it's really poor. Let them go to take care of others, so as to ease your majesty's troubles." .”

Princess Changle's eyes shifted, and she asked with a half-smile: "If you don't accept those treasures, Princess Silla can rest assured?"

Su Cheng said helplessly: "Of course don't worry, no matter what I say, they don't believe that I support sending troops, so they have to make a bet with me!"

Princess Changle asked curiously after hearing this: "The bet? What bet?"

Su Cheng shook the rice paper in his hand and laughed, "Here it is!"

Princess Changle picked it up curiously and took a look, and couldn't help but smile: "Pursue a horse for a month? Be a slave for a month? How dare you bet so big?"

Cui Mo and the others next to him opened their mouths slightly, they are dignified princes!A majestic princess!Want to brush a horse for a month?Want to be a slave for a month?

This is indeed a big enough bet!

Su Cheng smiled and said, "They're afraid that they didn't gamble enough. Anyway, I won't lose, so it doesn't matter!"

That's true, Princess Changle said with a half-smile, "Then Mr. Lang really made Princess Silla a servant?"

"What can she do as a slave? It will only add to the chaos? Is the maid around me not good at serving? Why make her a slave?" Su Cheng shrugged slightly and smiled.

It's really outrageous to make a princess a slave, even if it's because of a bet.

Cui Mo and the others couldn't help but nod their heads too, they were still worried that the Silla princess would take care of Su Cheng.

In Chang'an, there is a turmoil and a lot of discussions.

The memorials flooded into the palace like snowflakes.

The little eunuchs walked into the Liangyi Hall with thick memorials, but Li Shimin didn't even read them.

Li Shimin was not interested in those memorials at all, because those memorials were just commonplace, and the reasons were those reasons.

Compared with these memorials, Li Shimin is still more interested in maps.

The news from the palace also spread vaguely, the emperor didn't read the memorial but looked at the map, what does it mean?

This shows that the emperor's intention is to send troops!

Among the civil officials who opposed sending troops, not all of them were so firmly opposed to sending troops.

Hearing the news from the palace that the emperor was looking at the map instead of the memorial, he couldn't help but feel shaken.

In addition, Silla's envoys were frequently active in Chang'an City according to Su Cheng's instructions, which made the voice of supporting the dispatch of troops louder.

There was a lot of discussion in Chang'an City, and some courtiers discussed in groups, but Wei Zheng left Chang'an and came to Sujiazhuang in a carriage.

Hearing that Wei Zheng was coming, Su Cheng rushed to the front of the mansion in three steps instead of two.

At this time, of course Wei Zheng came to the door because he lost the bet, and he came to the door to plead guilty!

Seeing that Wei Zheng wasn't really carrying the wattle on his back, Su Cheng couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. If Wei Zheng came with the wattle on his back, it would be like setting him on fire.

However, even so, it would be big news for Wei Zheng to make amends in person. If it weren't for the uproar in Chang'an because of the dispatch of troops, this matter would definitely arouse heated discussions in Chang'an.

"Su Cheng, the old man is here to make amends!" Wei Zheng laughed.

Su Cheng smiled helplessly: "What kind of bet is it just a joke, why should Uncle Wei be so serious?"

Wei Zheng smiled and said: "Right is right, wrong is wrong, I really feel very sorry."

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Actually, in that situation, it's normal for everyone to have doubts!"

Wei Zheng stared at Su Cheng and asked, "Did you know about Goguryeo's dispatch of troops to attack Silla?"

Su Cheng pondered: "I'm not sure, I'm just guessing!"

"Uncle Wei, please come inside!" Su Cheng said with a smile.

Wei Zheng strode into the mansion.

After serving tea, Wei Zheng asked straight to the point: "Su Cheng, what do you think of this matter?"

Wei Zheng looked at Su Cheng with piercing eyes, as if he wanted to see through Su Cheng. He felt that Su Cheng's influence on the emperor should not be underestimated, so he wanted to know Su Cheng's tendency.

When he was in the hall, he had figured it out, and Su Cheng didn't speak from the beginning to the end.

Su Cheng pondered and said: "In fact, I have listened to the debates of my colleagues in the court and pondered them carefully. What everyone said makes sense!"

Wei Zheng couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, what does Su Cheng mean by this?What do you mean that what everyone said makes sense?

Could it be that Su Cheng wants to get along with him?

But this matter is either left or right, even if you want to get along with each other, you can't live!

Or did Su Cheng not want to get involved in this muddy water at all?

But low-level officials might be able to handle this matter alone, but how could Su Cheng be alone?

Wei Zheng murmured: "Everyone has reason, but there must be a trade-off in this matter!"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Times have changed, and today is not the time of Emperor Sui Yang, so I have been thinking about a question, if the Tang Dynasty sends troops, how many troops should be sent, and what are the odds of winning?"

"There are reasons for sending troops, and there are reasons for not sending troops. There is no right or wrong reason for these reasons. They are all reasonable. How to weigh them?"

"There is a saying that is good. Once bitten by a snake for ten years, everyone is afraid of well ropes. Now everyone has such a mentality, so I think the most important thing for everyone now is to calm down and think carefully. With our current strength in Datang, If you send troops, what are the odds of winning!"

"Then decide whether to send troops or not! What does Uncle Wei think?"

Wei Zheng's expression became serious when he heard this. Although Su Cheng didn't say it clearly, he also sensed that Su Cheng was still inclined to send troops!

However, it was really difficult for him to refute, because Su Cheng did not explicitly say that he would send troops, and he had to admit that what Su Cheng said was indeed reasonable.

Wei Zheng asked: "In your opinion, if Datang uses troops against Goguryeo, what are the chances of winning?"
