"It shouldn't be.
I saw that Ge Shuhan was so brave.
How could he be defeated by the unknown Lei Wanchun?
Moreover, Lei Wanchun only won by shooting him with a hidden arrow."
Xuanzong looked at the scene.
Ge Shuhan, who fell to the ground, said with regret.
Zhao Ziliang smiled and saluted Xuanzong and said, "Your Majesty, everything in this world is mutually reinforcing.
There is no invincible martial arts, and there is no invincible warrior.
Lei Wanchun may not be the opponent of some people, but his marksmanship is dexterous and exquisite.
The skill is long-lasting and can restrain Ge Shuhan's fierce martial arts, so Ge Shuhan lost."
Xuanzong seemed to have realized something, and said: "I remember that Zhao Qing is also a fierce general, right?
I don't know who will win and who will lose if you go up against Ge Shuhan in a one-on-one duel?
What about Lei Wanchun?"
Zhao Ziliang didn't expect that the emperor's thinking would diverge so quickly, and he would actually compare him with his brother Shu Han because of this matter.
He thought for a while and saluted, "I can't say this for a humble minister.
After all, I haven't fought before.
Who doesn't know?"
Who is more powerful?"
Gao Lishi heard this from the side, smiled sinisterly, and saluted Xuanzong: "Your Majesty, it's still early now, why not let General Zhao compete with Ge Shuhan and Lei Wanchun respectively to find out.
I guess your Majesty just affirmed If you haven’t had enough of it yet, wouldn’t it be great to take advantage of the world’s heroes gathered here and watch it all at once?”
Li Linfu, who was sitting next to him, saw Gao Lishi tripping Zhao Ziliang.
He rolled his eyes a few times, stood up and saluted Xuanzong and said: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Gao said this very well.
We have always heard how powerful General Zhao is in martial arts.
How to kill everyone in the Western Regions, and how to make the Western Regions Fan Bang was frightened after hearing the news, but after all, we have never seen it with our own eyes.
It just so happens that this opportunity is good.
Today there are many heroes from all over the world.
Your Majesty, why don’t you order General Zhao to compete with these people?
Also, let me and other ministers in the DPRK see what General Zhao is doing.
I can’t wait to feast my eyes on the beauty of the battlefield.”
Some other ministers watched the excitement and were not afraid of big troubles, so they proposed to Xuanzong to support Gao Lishi and Li Linfu.
The people in the prince's line did not add insult to injury at this time.
How could Xuanzong, such a shrewd person, fail to see the intentions of Gao Lishi, Li Linfu and others?
He turned to look at Prince Li Heng and saw that Li Heng lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.
Everyone in Li Heng's line was also silent.
Without saying a word, he started to care about it and turned around to look at Zhao Ziliang said to the ministers: "Zhao Qing is the deputy examiner for this martial arts examination and the palace examination.
How can the deputy examiner compete with the candidates?
He is the examiner.
Even if he wins, it will be a weak victory.
If he loses, , wouldn’t it make the imperial court lose face and let this matter end?”
When the ministers saw what the emperor said, they knew that the emperor wanted to protect Zhao Ziliang, so they stopped watching the excitement.
Li Linfu and Gao Lishi were about to plead guilty, but then Cheng Yaojin suddenly came out, with a white cloth covering his head. , an Arab wearing a headband and a white robe stood up from his seat.
The ministers recognized this man as Duman al-Din, the envoy sent by the Kingdom of Great Food a few days ago.
Dumandin walked up to Xuanzong and bowed and said: "Dear Your Majesty the Emperor, when Dumandin was in my country, I often heard people mention how His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, General Zhao Ziliang in Anxi, was brave and good at fighting, and he defeated the sudden cavalry.
Shiren was frightened when he heard the news, so he The Zhaowu kingdoms were wary and did not dare to act rashly.
They were also worried about the Tang Dynasty's accusations and sent envoys to pay tribute and plead guilty.

Dumandin was very curious and wanted to see General Zhao's style of fighting the enemy on horseback.
I wonder if His Majesty the Emperor would be satisfied.
Such a small wish from the foreign minister."
At this time, a minister with a rather upright temperament stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, a general is the leader of the army and a weapon for fighting for supremacy on the battlefield.
When a general's sword is unsheathed, he will definitely kill the enemy and drink blood.
How can it make people funny?"
for fun" Dumandin's words were extremely complimentary to the emperor and the Tang Dynasty.
Xuanzong felt a little carried away when he heard it, but the minister's words were also very reasonable, and he was also a little hesitant in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Du Manding said: "General Zhao is unwilling to compete with these heroes.
Is it possible that he has a false reputation?
Is it possible that Tuqishi and our businessmen are exaggerating?"
These words made Zhao Ziliang quite angry, but he was not angered by it.
As an emperor, Xuanzong couldn't stand it.
He said that his sitting general was in vain.
Wouldn't it be tantamount to slapping him in the face even though he knew that Zhao Ziliang and his brother There is no practical significance in reconciliation between Shu Han and others.
He just wanted to make some people happy, but his vanity and his love for success began to lurk again.
Seeing the expectant look on the face of Dumandin, the envoy of the great food country, he couldn't refuse with a straight face, and couldn't help but look at him.
Asked Zhao Ziliang: "Zhao Qing, what do you mean?"
Zhao Ziliang saw the situation just now so clearly that he couldn't help but slander Xuanzong and said, "Didn't you kick the ball to me?
If I don't agree, you, the emperor, will have no face in front of foreign envoys, and I, as a minister, will have no face."
You must save your face, otherwise some officials will definitely say that it is not the way for me to be a minister regardless of the face of the emperor and the court.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ziliang stood up and saluted Xuanzong and said: "Your Majesty, since the envoy of the Great Food Kingdom, Mr.
Duman Ding, and all the adults in the court want to see it, I will go on the stage to discuss with the candidates one by one.
But since it is a discussion, , there will be victory or defeat, I don’t know what luck your Majesty, your lords, and Lord Dumandin will come up with."
"Cai Tou" everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Xuanzong nodded and said: "It's true that the lottery head is worth seeing.
Moreover, you were originally the deputy examiner of this martial arts examination, but now you are asked to compete with the candidates.
It is unreasonable not to show the lottery head."
Having said this, Xuanzong looked at Li Linfu, Du Manding, Gao Lishi and others and asked: "What kind of reward can you give?
You want the horse to run, but you don't let the horse eat grass.
This won't work, right?"
Before Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, vigorously rectified the administration of officials and strictly cracked down on corruption, corruption did not seem to be a crime in the past dynasties.
Therefore, ministers such as Li Linfu were almost all experts at making money, and the court did not punish them for this crime.
For them, once they become officials, wealth will roll in.
These ministers in the court are not short of money.
Li Linfu stood up first and said: "Your Majesty, the top four are here.
General Zhao can compete with them one by one.
I will give 10,000 coins as a lottery to the winner of each game."
Gao Lishi said: "Your Majesty, I have no other source of money.
It is all a reward from Your Majesty and your ladies.
I am willing to give you an egg and a big pearl as a prize for a competition."
Dumandin said: "Your Majesty, when I come to Chang'an this time, I have brought several good BMW horses.
In every competition, I will take out a BMW as a prize."
After these people, other court officials, including Prince Li Heng, more or less took out some money, jewelry, beauties, or other valuable items as prizes.
Finally, Xuanzong said: "Since all the Aiqings have come up with prizes, it seems that I have to come up with some prizes.

Well, according to my decree, whoever among the four of them can defeat Zhao Aiqing, I will immediately ennoble him."
General Dingyuan and General Zuo Zhonglang, the right guard and right guard, were rewarded with thousands of gold coins, thousands of coins, hundreds of pieces of brocade, a mansion, and ten slaves.
The first game If Zhao Aiqing wins, I will reward you with one thousand gold coins and ten thousand pieces of money.
In the second game, if Zhao Aiqing wins, I will reward you with one thousand gold coins, ten thousand pieces of money and hundreds of pieces of brocade.
In the third game, if Zhao Aiqing wins, I will reward you with one thousand gold pieces, ten thousand pieces of money.
I will reward you with one hundred pieces of brocade and a mansion.
If Zhao Aiqing wins the four games, he will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins, thousands of coins, a hundred pieces of brocade, a mansion, and ten slaves, and will be transferred to General De Zhonglang."
This Guide Zhonglang General is different from the official Zhonglang General.
This is the military rank, while the other titles of Zhonglang General are official titles.
The two represent completely different meanings.
Guide Zhonglang General is a military rank below the fourth rank, which is already the rank of a senior general, while the general rank of Zhonglang General is just the official title of a middle-level officer.
For example, Zhao Ziliang served as the general of Zuo Jinwu Guard and Right Guard before this.
There were several Zhonglang Generals among his subordinates.
The status of Zhonglang Generals in official positions was not high in the Tang Dynasty army.
Every one of the sixteen guards in the capital There are more than ten or twenty Zhonglang generals in Weidu.
Just from the number, it can be seen that these are not high-ranking officials, and they are only equivalent to regiment-level officers.
General Guide Zhonglang is a military rank that only the generals of the palace guards have.
The same rank as General Mingwei is.
Someone made a quick statistics in private and found that the total number of lottery prizes of the emperor, concubines, foreign envoys, and ministers of the DPRK actually exceeded 2 million yuan.
This did not include jewelry, BMWs, and other valuable items.
The total winnings from the first round alone amounted to more than 500,000 yuan.
If Zhao Ziliang beats the four of them, he will become one of the richest people in the capital.
Although he is not as rich as those wealthy businessmen, he can still be regarded as a small fortune.
After the emperor's decree was passed down, some casino owners immediately placed bets on the fight between Zhao Ziliang and the top four in the rankings.
Because Zhao Ziliang was famous, and although these four were among the top four in the rankings, However, most people still don't think highly of them.
Most of the people who bet on Zhao Ziliang in the first two games were those who bet on Zhao Ziliang in the first game.
In the second game, Zhao Ziliang's odds were 2 to 1, and in the third game, Bai Xiaode's odds were 4 to 1; In the fourth game, Zhao Ziliang's odds are 1 to 1, Ge Shuhan's odds are 1 to 2; in the fourth game, Zhao Ziliang's odds are 2 to 3, and Lei Wanchun's odds are 2 to 3.
As long as Zhao Ziliang is defeated in one of the games, the subsequent battles will naturally not need to continue, and the gambling game will naturally not need to continue, and the person who defeats Zhao Ziliang will get all the prizes.
When he learned that someone had made a handicap, how could Zhao Ziliang miss such a great opportunity to make money?
Zhao Ziliang didn't feel any psychological burden at all to make money from those people.
He immediately sent someone to find the housekeeper Wang Ru and asked Wang Ru to buy them all.
If he wins, it will cost him a total of 100,000 guan.
If he wins them all, he will make a profit of 112,000 guan
