I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 407 Double the pension for the fallen soldiers, and the truce of the Tang Dynasty for 5 year

"Jun Moxiao on the battlefield, how many people have fought in ancient times... very heroic, but also very sad!"

Li Shimin put down the wine bottle and sighed,

"Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, I have experienced dozens of wars, large and small, and many familiar faces are gone."

"Their smiles are still in front of me, but I can't hear their voices anymore. They... are all lying drunk on the battlefield..."

"Including this battle, although our army won a big victory, there were also casualties. In a war... there are always people who have to sacrifice."

"Hey! If everyone is here, it would be great... War is cruel after all!"

"It's boring. It's really boring to drink this wine."

Originally, he was in a high mood, but after listening to this poem, he completely fell down.

Xu Fenglei got up and cupped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, don't blame me, I also said just now... Your poems are all critical."

"Seeing the grand event in front of me, I can't help but think of those brothers who died on the battlefield, and I can't help but hate war."

"As the saying goes, it is better to be a dog of peace than to be a person in troubled times!"

"I only hope that after this battle, the world will be at peace, and there will be no need to use weapons! I will no longer need to be in command."

Li Shimin nodded slowly.

His eyes fell on Jieli Khan.

Suddenly, he walked up in two steps in three steps, and grabbed Jie Li's collar suddenly.

Jieli: "!!!"

"Your Majesty, you, this is..." He waved his hands in fear.

"Xieli, tell me about you! How many people have you hurt and how many families have been ruined by you invisibly!"

Li Shimin stared at Jieli, and said sullenly,
"Our two countries could have lived in peace, and could have afforded no weapons!"

"If you hadn't repeatedly broken contracts and provoked troubles, ruined our borders, and ruined our border residents, how could you have ended up like this!"

"Ok?"

"You... are really self-inflicted and asking for trouble!"

Jieli: "..."

"Yes Yes……"

He said bitterly,
"I did it myself, I asked for it, please forgive me..."

Swish.

Li Shimin snorted softly and loosened his collar.

"Come on, pass on the decree."

He said to Zhangsun Wuji in a deep voice,
"Soldiers who died in this battle will be given double compensation."

"There are also soldiers who died fighting for the Tang Dynasty since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. If they find their family members, they will be counted as one if they can be found, and they will gather together."

"I want to personally condolence to them! The Tang Dynasty was poor back then, and there were few pensions. There was no male in their family, life must have been very hard..."

Changsun Wuji looked serious.

"According to the order."

he replied,

"I will arrange it tomorrow, and I will try my best to find them all!"

Li Shimin nodded.

"The second will, I want peace."

He turned his head to look at Fang Xuanling, and said,

"Five years."

"Within five years, all foreign affairs will be dealt with by diplomacy. Unless it is a last resort, I will not use weapons again!"

"Although a country is big, it will die if it is warlike! After so many years of fighting, both the army and the people are already very tired. It is time to take a good rest and live a peaceful life for a few years."

"This decree is promulgated to the world, so that the people all over the world can breathe a sigh of relief and relax!"

Fang Xuanling was shocked.

"Observe the decree, I will immediately draft the imperial decree."

He said excitedly,
"If this is really possible, it will be a blessing to all the people in the world!"

He was excited, but the generals at the banquet were a little bit embarrassed.

"Why hasn't there been a war yet? Five years..."

Yuchi Gong muttered,

"Five years later, I still have two opinions on whether to mention the knife."

"Hey! Pharmacist, Mao Gong, it seems that we really have to retire, and enter the retirement life early for us, come on, let's go!"

He raised the wine glass, but Li Ji and Li Jing ignored him.

"It's only been five years, it's just to grind your temper."

Li Ji whispered,
"Although the Turks are dead, there are still many enemies around the Tang Dynasty, such as Tuyuhun, Xue Yantuo, and Goguryeo."

"Emperor Sui Yang has always been thinking about it, but I don't believe that His Majesty will not miss this piece of fat in Liaodong!"

"Pharmacist, do you think so?"

Li Jing had a calm demeanor.

"Exactly."

He poured himself a cup and said calmly,
"After a five-year rest, Datang's soldiers and horses will be stronger and easier to use."

"We, generals, should recharge our batteries and wait for the activation! If we think about retirement, then this life will really be wasted."

Are you kidding, old age?
Raise a fart!He also wants to truly lead a foreign war!
The corner of Li Ji's mouth rose.

"Heroes see the same thing."

He picked up the wine glass and handed it into the air.

Ding.

The two clinked glasses and drank it all in one go.

Seeing this, Yu Chigong's face turned green, and he poured the wine in the glass into his mouth.

"Don't drink with me, I drink it myself! Beat sex..."

he muttered,

"Even if we really want to fight at that time, you don't need to be involved! The grand master is here! He is younger than you and stronger than you!"

"Really..."

This side is still thinking about it, but Xu Fenglei over there has already taken out a seal and a pair of soldier charms from his arms.

"Your Majesty's move is really in line with the way of heaven, and in line with the hearts of the people, and I respect you."

He said with admiration,
"The battle is over, it's time to return this Commander's Seal and this pair of Tiger Talismans to His Majesty."

Li Shimin glanced at him.

"What are you in such a hurry to do?"

He smiled lightly,

"I'm still drinking. Don't bring things about work into your life."

Having said that, Li Second Hand was unambiguous, and with a random move, he took the handsome seal and tiger talisman from Xu Fenglei's hand.

From this moment on, Xu Fenglei's military power was lifted.

"Of course I'm anxious. This may be a sweet potato to others, but to my minister, it's a hot potato."

Xu Fenglei spread his hands and said,

"The war was too hard. It was freezing cold. I didn't have enough food and clothes. Every day I opened my eyes, I had to manage the food and drink of 10 people, and I had to take so many lives on Body... just thinking about it makes people collapse!"

"This kind of suffering, I don't want to eat it anymore."

"Your Majesty, when you choose a commander in the future, please don't think about me again, otherwise I will definitely learn from Sai Weng's son and break my own leg!"

Li Shimin couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"Promise! That's all you have!"

He laughed and scolded,

"In order to avoid military affairs, are you willing to be a cripple?"

"If all the men in Tang Dynasty were like you, there would be no need to fight the battle, and the country would have been destroyed long ago!"

Xu Fenglei shrugged his shoulders, looking bad.

Say what you want, anyway, I quit.

I believe you won't let me do it any more. It's not good for us both to destroy a few more countries. Let's give Li Jing and the others more chances.

"That's all, since you are tired of military affairs, I won't force others to be difficult."

Li Shimin gathered the commander's seal and soldier talisman, hummed softly,

"You are not the only one who can use this Great Tang!"

"Like Pharmacist, Mao Gong, none of them are weaker than you, they are just missing a chance! If you don't do it, some people will do it!"

"You said, don't you?"

Li Jing and Li Ji were shocked when they heard the emperor's words.

"The ministers are willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty!"

Both of them stood up and cupped their hands, full of air.

"Look, look, my Tang Dynasty is rich in military generals and handsome talents!"

Li Er proudly said,
"Even if there is no one available, I can still conquer by myself, who in the world would dare not follow?"

"Yes yes yes..." Xu Fenglei said repeatedly, "Your Majesty is mighty and domineering, and the tiger's body shook, and the world is at peace."

Regardless of what the emperor is bragging about right now, as long as he can step down safely.

"If Your Majesty wants to march in person, then I must be the vanguard!"

Yuchi Gong laughed boldly and said,

"When the time comes, I will hold a lance to escort His Majesty. Even if there are tens of thousands of enemy troops, why should I be afraid?"

"Hahaha, it's extreme, it's extreme!" Li Shimin raised his wine glass and laughed loudly, "I hold the bow and arrow, and the public holds the spear, even if there are millions of people, what can I do! Come on, let's go!"

After swallowing a glass of strong wine, the atmosphere in the pavilion became lively again.

Only Jieli lowered his head and remained silent.

The joys and sorrows of human beings are not figured out.

The Tang people were showing off their achievements, the Tang Emperor was bragging, and the Tang Dynasty had become stronger, but in his heart, there was only depression and sadness.

Everyone present can be said to be stepping on his head and rejoicing...

"Xie Li, you danced really well just now!"

Li Yuan held the pipa and said with a smile,
"It fits well with my pipa, it's very strong... How about another verse?"

Jie Li's face twisted.

But when he raised his head in the next second and faced Li Yuan, he was respectful and gentle.

"His Majesty the Supreme Emperor likes it, and I will obey."

He stood up again, cupped his hands and said,
"I would like to use my dance to entertain the eyes and ears of the Supreme Emperor."

Li Yuan stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, okay, Tangtang Jieli Khan, now I am a obedient citizen of the Tang Dynasty!"

He raised his hand and said,

"Come on, give me wine!"

Jieli Khan, who once terrified him and almost moved the capital to avoid him, is now a good baby.

This greatly satisfied Li Yuan's heart!

The maid trotted two steps and brought the grapes.

"Xieli, I am very pleased that you can be so obedient."

Li Shimin raised his wine glass and said calmly,

"As long as you can continue to be obedient like this, my promise to you will be valid forever, and you can live in Chang'an for the rest of your life!"

"Come, have a drink."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Jie Li took the wine glass in fear and fear, and drank it down in one gulp.

He was about to dance, but he heard a rush of footsteps coming from outside the pavilion.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

A guard broke into Lingyan Pavilion and said eagerly,

"Du Xianggong...Du Xianggong's condition suddenly worsened tonight...he is dying! Please send the imperial physician to treat him!"

Li Shimin: "!!!"

Fang Xuanling: "!!!"

Xu Fenglei: "?!!"

"Du Ruhui?"

Xu Fenglei said in surprise,
"What's the matter with him? He was fine before I went out, why didn't he suddenly die?"

As soon as the question came out, his heart sank suddenly.

Yes.

Come to think of it, Du Ruhui seemed to have passed away in the fourth year of Zhenguan. In history, he didn't even see the Turks being destroyed and the army triumphant.

"According to the imperial doctor, it's a heart disease. It happened a while ago, and it happened very quickly."

Fang Xuanling said with a worried face,
"I had recuperated for a while, and I'm getting better, but today..."

"Oh! He's only 46 years old..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Shimin shouted sharply:

"Stop, all stop! Stop playing!"

The musician stopped playing, and Xie Li tactfully retreated to the side.

"Quickly send the imperial physician to Du Aiqing's residence!"

Li Shimin said eagerly,
"Oh no, no need, hurry up and get ready to go, I will go in person! Ask the imperial doctor on duty at the imperial hospital to go with me!"

After all, he ran out of Lingyan Pavilion in three steps and two steps.

"I'll go as well."

Xu Fenglei said repeatedly,
"The imperial doctors in the imperial hospital may not be useful, and I may be able to help."

As soon as he finished speaking, several people around him stood up.

"I am coming too!"

"Let's all go! Go!"

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, and Yu Chigong, all of Tiance's veterans, all looked anxious.

They were brothers who shared weal and woe back then, this relationship is not comparable to ordinary friendship!

To put it bluntly, if Du Ruhui is really going to die, at least they will be able to see each other for the last time and say a few more words to say goodbye, right?

"it is good."

Xu Fenglei turned to look at Li Yuan, cupped his hands and said,
"The emperor, the situation is urgent, I'm sorry."

Seeing that Li Yuan waved his hand indifferently, he turned to Changsun Wugou again, and said in a deep voice:

"Empress, please continue to host the dinner."

"I'm going to Kemingna first."

The eldest grandson Wugou pursed his lips, and his eyes were filled with infinite worry.

Du Ruhui was also her old friend.

"You guys go, listen to me, Sun Miracle Doctor is not in Chang'an, please do your best to rescue Du Xianggong."

she pleaded,

"Just like when you saved him..."

"please."

Xu Fenglei nodded solemnly.

"I will."

……

It was night, and the Du Mansion was brightly lit.

Several sobbing sounds came from the mansion, which made Li Shimin's face a little ugly after getting off the sedan chair.

"His Majesty is here!"

Following the eunuch's loud cry, the servants in the mansion hurriedly opened the door and knelt aside.

Inside the door, Du Ruhui's son, Du He, has already greeted him.

"See Your Majesty."

With red eyes, he bowed down to the emperor.

"Get up, how is your father? Does it matter?"

Li Shimin quickly helped him up, and asked eagerly as he walked in,

"Didn't you be fine two days ago? You can still go to the ground, why did you suddenly become seriously ill today? Didn't I arrange an imperial doctor to live in your house?"

"Quick, I brought the chief physician here, take me to see him!"

Du He wiped away his tears and led the way.

"Returning to Your Majesty, father, his energy level has improved a few days ago, and he drank two bowls of porridge. He thought he was fine, so he asked the imperial physician to return to the palace..."

He trembled slightly,

"But tonight, it suddenly said that it was hot, very hot! Then my body started to twitch, and my face was extremely ugly. When my mother and I saw something was wrong, we immediately called for someone to invite the imperial physician..."

"It's all my fault. I should have kept that imperial physician. This time delay, father... he is already in a coma!"

Li Shimin's heart sank suddenly.

"Okay, okay, it's not your fault. I know your father, he doesn't want the imperial physician to serve him for too long."

He comforted him a little and said,

"Let's go, let's go and have a look first. After so many ups and downs, I believe he will be able to survive this time!"
