Datang: I was overheard by the Empress

Chapter 315, Cheng Yaojin Enters the Palace!

"Then Xue Rengui really used all his salary as military pay?"

The empress couldn't help asking for a while, if Xue Rengui's salary was used as military salary, it would be conceivable. The current situation in Liangzhou, after all, a general can't even keep his own salary, so he has to use it as military salary. It is conceivable If the other soldiers shout, there is no guarantee at all!

"Your Majesty, Xue Dingshan, the son of Xue Rengui, has returned to Chang'an. Xue Dingshan personally told the old minister about this matter. I believe there should be no mistakes. Your Majesty, Xue Rengui is sitting in Liangzhou. He is a minister of the Zhu Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty. There must be no mistakes. Turkic wolf ambitions During Emperor Taizong's reign, he fought against the Turks several times and almost completely wiped them out. The Turkic barbarians have recuperated over the years, and their strength has gradually grown stronger. Don't underestimate them, Your Majesty!"

Cheng Yaojin immediately persuaded him earnestly, whether Cheng Yaojin or Xue Rengui, they are both hard-core Zhenguan sects, and they were important ministers of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin when he was alive.

When the Empress ascended the throne, the Zhenguan Sect is still very powerful in the court. It can even be said to be the largest party in the court today. The Empress has to use the Zhenguan Sect. The problem, and the Zhenguan sect requires literature and martial arts. If the Zhenguan sect is completely abolished, there may be big problems!
However, although officials from the Zhenguan School are used, we must also guard against the officials from the Zhenguan School. The empress is now starting to cultivate the power of the humble family, and even turns a blind eye to some of the actions of King Liang, King Wei, and Han Gong. It is also for the sake of stabilizing the politics of the court power!

It has to be said that the empress's political means are indeed superb, as a female emperor can still secure the throne, this political means and political courage are indispensable!

The empress suddenly stopped, closed her eyes slightly, and didn't know what she was thinking. After a long time, the empress suddenly said:
"Is Xue Dingshan right? Well, I know!"

"Yes, the old minister will retire!"

Cheng Yaojin didn't say much, he should let His Majesty the Empress know, Cheng Yaojin has already said it, as for what the Empress will do, Cheng Yaojin can't control it, of course Cheng Yaojin believes that the Empress will do it Make the right choice!

"Old general, go slowly, by the way, how is the old general preparing for the imperial examination?" Seeing that Cheng Yaojin was about to resign, the empress suddenly remembered something, and asked Cheng Yaojin about the martial arts examination thing!
"Report to Your Majesty, the matter of martial arts is proceeding in an orderly manner, please don't worry, Your Majesty!"

Hearing the empress asked about the martial arts, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but smile slightly at the moment, although this time he was the chief examiner of the martial arts.

So under normal circumstances, his grandson Cheng Qianzhong might not be able to become the champion of martial arts, otherwise it would be difficult to convince the public, but he failed in the exam. With Cheng Qianzong's strength, it is indeed no problem to pass the martial arts exam.
And if it doesn't work, he can transfer his grandson in a small range. After all, the imperial examination is about the strength of the eight classics. In the martial arts, everyone's strength is uneven. As long as Cheng Qianzong doesn't arrange those top opponents, won't he OK!
"Who does the old marshal think can win the first prize in this martial arts competition?"

The empress still didn't turn around, but she asked Cheng Yaojin in a cold voice.

Who can win the first prize in the martial arts examination and win the first prize in the martial arts exam!
Hearing the female emperor's question, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help being stunned for a moment. There seems to be a little bit of a problem with what he said. The martial arts has not yet started. How can we determine the winner or loser? How can we determine who can pass the exam? What about Wu Zhuangyuan?

"Report to Your Majesty, this martial arts competition has not yet begun. As for who will win the championship in the end, the veteran cannot predict!"

Cheng Yaojin didn't understand the empress' intentions, but he didn't dare to answer this question casually!

"Since Xue Dingshan has returned to Chang'an, I don't know if Xue Dingshan will participate in this martial arts competition. Does the old marshal know how Xue Dingshan is in martial arts?"

The empress nodded slightly and did not force Cheng Yaojin to give an answer, but instead asked Cheng Yaojin a question, but this question was asked to Xue Dingshan by name.

"What does your majesty mean?"

Cheng Yaojin didn't quite understand what Her Majesty's intention was. Could it be that he wanted Xue Dingshan to participate in this martial arts competition, and then promoted Xue Dingshan to be the champion of martial arts? If so, it would indeed greatly improve the relationship between the court and Xue Rengui. The relationship between them can be regarded as the empress's grace to Xue Rengui!

I have to say that Cheng Yaojin's imagination in this aspect is quite rich, and it can also be seen that Cheng Yaojin absolutely loves Xue Dingshan. Xue Dingshan has not yet signed up for martial arts, and Cheng Yaojin has started I wondered if I could get Xue Dingshan a martial arts champion back.

It is not wrong to arrange the process of biting gold. The relationship between the imperial court and Xue Rengui is indeed not very good. If you can take the opportunity to arrange Xue Dingshan as the champion of martial arts to ease the conflict, it would be a wise choice, let alone Xue Rengui As the number one military general in the Tang Dynasty today, his strength is extraordinary and refined, not much inferior to Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong back then,

As the son of Xue Rengui, Xue Dingshan has practiced in Liangzhou for many years. Although he is young now, his strength should not be simple. As long as he has success in martial arts and some small manipulations, it is not impossible to arrange for Xue Dingshan to be a martial arts champion!

Although this matter is a bit out of order, the affairs of the court are the biggest rule, as long as the conflict between the court and Xue Rengui can be eased, this is the biggest rule!

"Xue Dingshan is the son of Xue Rengui, if he can participate in this martial arts competition, this martial arts competition must be much more exciting!"

The empress said calmly for a while, but Cheng Yaojin had already understood it, it seems that the empress' thoughts were exactly the same as his.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Xue Dingshan doesn't know about this yet, but after knowing it, he will definitely actively participate in this martial arts competition. Although Xue Dingshan is young, he has been in Liangzhou for many years, and with Xue Rengui's training, he may be able to win this martial arts champion!"

Cheng Yaojin immediately said confidently, although the martial arts has not yet started, but he, the chief examiner, and even His Majesty the Empress have this plan, so Xue Dingshan can't win the martial arts this time?

"Xue Dingshan won the champion of martial arts, old general, you may have misunderstood my meaning!"

However, after hearing Cheng Yaojin's assurance, the Empress turned around in a daze, looked at Cheng Yaojin, and said with a frown.
