Chapter 892
Su Cheng walked leisurely outside the palace with his hands behind his back.
"Meet Duke Rong!"
Su Cheng turned his head and smiled and said, "Oh, it turns out it's Censor Ma! Happy New Year to the Censor Ma!"
Ma Zhou, known as Xiao Wei Zheng, is not only as upright as Wei Zheng, but also has great talent.
Now Ma Zhou has a high official position in the court, but Ma Zhou is from a poor family, so he doesn't have much contact with the nobles in the court, so Su Cheng is not familiar with him at all.
Ma Zhou smiled and said, "I heard that the Duke and Wei Xiang had made a bet, but I don't know if it's true or false?"
Su Cheng smiled and nodded, "That's the case. Duke Zheng did make a bet with me."
Ma Zhou smiled and said, "The officials have heard from Wei Xiang talk about it. Duke of the State. Speaking of it, the Chinese New Year is coming, and it is almost spring!"
Wei Zheng was not in a hurry, but Ma Zhou was in a hurry first. Su Cheng smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "Although I made a bet with Duke Zheng, I actually didn't take this bet seriously."
Ma Zhou said seriously: "The Duke of the Kingdom is not saying this. Since it is a bet, we must take it seriously. If we regret it, it is not a gentleman who will praise the good reputation of the government and the government. How can we defile the good reputation because of this bet?"
Su Cheng smiled and said, "Censor Ma misunderstood. I am not afraid of remorse and ruining my reputation. I just think that Duke Zheng is a famous minister of the world and is highly respected. If I want to go to my mansion to apologize, I really can't afford it!"
Ma Zhou was speechless when he heard this. Does Su Cheng think he must win?
But now this year's festival has passed and spring is coming soon, and there has not been any news of Goguryeo sending troops.
Isn’t Su Cheng a stubborn duck? Did he want to drag it all the time, and then the dragging people forgot about this?
But everyone is not confused, how could they forget?
Ma Zhou smiled and said, "The winter snow has just melted, and the earth has returned to its spring. Will the Duke still insist on his own opinion?"
"It's almost done, be patient, wait!" Su Cheng said with a smile, and walked forward with his hands behind his back, as if he was sure to win.
Ma Zhou did not remind Su Cheng again, saying that he would see when Su Cheng could delay it, and he would write a letter to apologize sooner or later, so why should he wait any longer?
After leaving the palace, Su Cheng rode his horse to the outside of the city, preparing to go to Shenji Camp for inspection. The New Year Festival has passed, and the training of Shenji Camp must also begin.
A war is coming, and if the emperor personally fights, he will definitely take the Shenji Camp to fight with him.
As the saying goes, if you don’t sharpen your guns in the face of battle, it’s not that good, and the Shenji Camp has been working hard, so it can’t be relaxed when it’s time to go to war.
Chang'an City is very lively, and the city gate is even bustling with people. Just as Su Cheng struggled to squeeze out the city, he saw dozens of cavalry slowly coming in front of him.
Their clothes are very different from those of the Tang people, and they are obviously not of the Tang people.
However, the people around him were no longer surprised by the people of the Fan Kingdom, so they did not pay much attention to it.
But Su Cheng looked at them with great interest. The foreigners came to the Tang Dynasty just to visit, study or do business, so they should be very happy to come to Chang'an.
But the group looked anxious, as if they were very anxious to enter the city. However, there were too many people on the road, so they could not ride a horse.
After observing it, Su Cheng couldn't help but feel aroused. Could this group of people be Silla's envoys, right?
But why does it look like a woman is the leader?
Could this woman be the Queen of Silla?
Could it be that Silla has been captured, so he went straight to the Tang Dynasty?
Silla is too careless, right?
But this woman looks a little young, at most she is only twenty years old. Is the Queen of Silla so young?
Unexpectedly, Queen Silla looks quite beautiful. I heard that Queen Silla can only be alone for the rest of her life, which is a pity!
Su Cheng did not rush to leave, but instead urged his horse to squeeze back to the city gate.
The soldiers at the city gate quickly came up and said respectfully: "Duke, what else do you have to give?"
Su Cheng smiled and said, "Ask clearly where that group of people came from."
The soldiers quickly looked at the group of people who were queuing into the city, ran over and waved: "Come here!"
Jin Shengman and his group came forward with a surprise, and they were asking Jin Wenzhi to speak in a well-known official language: "We are envoys of Silla, and we are envoys to the Tang Dynasty under the order of the king. I am envoys of Jin Wenzhi. This is our document."
The soldiers took the document and didn't read it. They directly held it in front of Su Cheng and said respectfully: "Duke, please check it out!"
Duke? Neither Jin Shengman nor Jin Wenzhi could help but change his expression slightly. The dignified Duke is still guarding the city gate here?
Su Cheng glanced casually, nodded and said, "Let them enter the city!"
The soldiers at the city gate agreed respectfully, watching Su Cheng slam the horse and leave.
"Okay, you can enter the city!" the soldier waved.
Jin Shengman, Jin Wenzhi and others were stunned when they heard this. They were called over and thought they would be in trouble, but they didn't expect that the Duke would let them enter the city so happily.
This Duke is so nice, no wonder he became Duke so young.
Jin Wenzhi asked curiously: "Which Duke is this? He is so young!"
The soldier said proudly: "Of course it is Duke Rong! Apart from Duke Rong, how can there be such a young Duke in the world?"
Duke Rong?
Jin Shengman and Jin Wenzhi couldn't help but change their faces when they heard this. They turned out to be Duke Rong?
The man just now turned out to be Duke Rong?
Is it the best friend of the dog thief Yuan Gaisuwen, Duke Rong?
They just thought that this Duke was a good person, but they didn't expect that he was the traitor Su Cheng!
Yes, Jin Shengman, Jin Wenzhi, and even the entire Silla people have determined that Su Cheng is a big traitor.
Because they already knew that the reason why Goguryeo dared to attack their Silla was because Yuan Gai Suwen relied on the support of Su Cheng, a powerful minister in the Tang Dynasty, and was not afraid that the Tang Dynasty would pursue it.
When they came to ask for help from the Tang Dynasty, the biggest obstacle was undoubtedly Su Cheng, the big traitor.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered Chang'an, I met Su Cheng, a big traitor.
In fact, there is no other one in the Tang Dynasty for such a young Duke who they should have thought of?
Jin Wenzhi pondered: "This Duke Rong is really young, and he looks righteous. He doesn't look like a traitor and evil person! Perhaps, those rumors are all fake. We can ask the Tang Dynasty for help if we go smoothly!"
Jin Shengman shook his head and said, "You should not behave like a person, but you don't know your face! Gao Jianwu is not a fool. He has always been extremely afraid of the Tang Dynasty. If there is no support from the Tang Dynasty, how could he have the courage to attack our Silla?"
