I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 450 If you don't listen to you, the Tang Dynasty will perish? !hard to say

"Thank you, thank you... Your Majesty."

Xu Fenglei lay on the sickbed, and slightly bowed his hands towards Li Shimin.

"Teacher, why are you suddenly so seriously ill?"

Fang Xuanling carefully put Xu Fenglei's hands into the bed, tucked them up, and then said with concern,
"A few days ago, I saw you alive and well, why..."

He was not as suspicious as Li Shimin. Seeing Xu Fenglei's appearance now, he believed him completely, and his eyes were full of concern.

Du Ruhui, the former friend who conspired with each other, has already fallen, and he doesn't want Xu Fenglei to fall again.

"Yeah, what kind of disease do you have?"

Li Shimin stared at Xu Fenglei's face and asked,

"Why did you come in such a hurry? In just two days, it has become like this?"

I have to say, just judging from the expression on his face, this person is definitely very sick...

"Cough... Don't hide it from Your Majesty, this is a heart disease, a heart disease..."

Xu Fenglei coughed lightly, shook his head feebly, and said softly,
"Heart disease is hard to heal..."

Li Shimin frowned.

"Heart disease? What heart disease?"

he asked,

"What's on your mind?"

Xu Fenglei glanced at the attendants following Li Shimin, and hesitated to speak.

"You all go out."

Li Shimin ordered,

"Close the door."

"Yes." All the attendants retreated in response, leaving only Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling standing in the room.

"Can you talk now?"

Li Shimin folded his hands on his chest, pursed his lips and said.

"Return to Your Majesty, the minister's heart disease is due to fear."

Xu Fenglei looked sideways at Li Shimin slightly, and said in a low voice,
"I am afraid that your majesty will misunderstand, and fear that your majesty will blame you."

"I was in constant panic, that's why I fell ill..."

Li Shimin couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard this.

"Oh? I'm afraid I'll misunderstand and blame you?"

He said in surprise,

"Tell me, where did you misunderstand? How can I blame you?"

Li Er's curiosity suddenly came up.

He wanted to see what kind of medicine Xu Fenglei was selling in his gourd.

"Returning to Your Majesty... because of the impeachment of Hou Junji by the minister at the court the day before yesterday."

Xu Fenglei coughed twice muffled, suppressed his coughing forcefully, and said just now,

"At that time, because Hou Junji got involved with the Ministry of Industry and extended his corrupt hand to the Chang'an Academy project that I valued the most, I was so angry that my blood rushed to my brain for a while, and I wanted to expose his bad behavior in the court. Put him to shame!"

"In retrospect, I really shouldn't have done this, I regret it, I'm guilty..."

He shook his head and sighed.

Li Shimin glanced at Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, without making the slightest movement.

"is it?"

He looked down with his hands behind his back, and said with a fake smile,

"Where are you guilty? You exposed corrupt officials and eradicated moths for the court. This is a credit! And it's a great credit!"

"Doing such a good thing, what do you have to regret?"

Xu Fenglei smiled bitterly.

"Although I have done meritorious service to the country by eradicating moths for the court, I am guilty of your majesty..."

He bowed his head and said,

"This kind of shocking matter, the minister should not rush to his head and ignore everything, but should inform His Majesty first, let His Majesty make a decision, and never expose it to the court rashly."

"Doing this will completely make your Majesty unable to step down, and it will not be able to handle it properly for a while..."

"Although I didn't mean to persecute you, I did the fact that I persecuted Your Majesty. When I think about it later, how can I not be afraid that Your Majesty will misunderstand you? How can I not be afraid that you will blame me?"

"On the day I came back, the moment I calmed down, I fell ill. Until now... I still can't recover..."

After some words, Li Shimin's face gradually became strange.

To be honest, he came to Duke Xu's mansion today entirely with the idea of ​​provoking his teacher to inquire about his crimes, and he thought in his heart that he had to take this kid's skin off no matter what.

If he still dared to be so presumptuous, he would be severely punished, and even dismissed from his post and rank!
But he really didn't expect that Xu Fenglei was in such a state, and he was so cute?
Answer all the questions he wanted to ask...in advance?
This can't fix Li Er directly!

"you……"

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, frowned and said,

"You really think so?"

Xu Fenglei nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes! Ahem..."

He didn't care about coughing, and hurriedly said,

"Your Majesty, don't look at the fact that I'm a little clever on weekdays. It's because I haven't encountered my own affairs. The onlookers know clearly. When I encounter my own affairs, my head is confused. The authorities are confused..."

"The minister is belatedly aware and afraid of the future..."

"Hou Junji is still your Majesty's hero. Your Majesty is a righteous and benevolent monarch. It is difficult to deal with it. I still do that... It is really guilty, guilty!"

Li Shimin snorted coldly.

"Is your head confused? I don't think it is confused at all!"

he said,

"If you are foolish, can you collect so much convincing evidence at once, turn the case into an iron case in one go, and beat Hou Junji to death?"

Xu Fenglei sighed lightly.

"Your Majesty misunderstood again..."

He said helplessly,

"I'm really confused, but Hou Junji has too many stains. Even a confused minister can easily find out a lot of crimes against him..."

"If you want to blame, you can only blame Hou Junji..."

Li Shimin stared: "???"

Good guy, your fluffy words not only excused yourself, but also poured a basin of black water on Hou Junji.

"Okay! He's already black enough, you don't need to draw any more."

Li Er said angrily,
"I'm asking you, you were really passionate at the time, didn't you think about it that much?"

Xu Fenglei nodded repeatedly.

"Really, really, better than gold!"

He hurriedly said,
"If you don't believe me, look at my sincere eyes!"

After all, Xu Fenglei's eyes were fixed on Li Shimin, and there was a firm demeanor in those eyes, and the black eyes stared at the emperor and did not move.

Li Shimin got goosebumps for no reason.

"...All right, all right!"

He held his forehead, waved his hand impatiently and said,
"Don't look at me with that look, I don't like it."

"Since you are aware of your mistakes and omissions, and you have such a heart disease, I will treat you as unintentional."

"But if you do something unintentionally, you will be punished!"

Fang Xuanling raised his head slightly.

"Your Majesty, isn't it 'unintentional wrongdoing, even though wrongdoing is not punished'?" he asked.

"Shut up!" Li Er stared.

Fang Xuanling immediately retracted his neck, and continued to watch his nose, nose, and heart.

"It's a good thing for you to uncover corrupt officials for the court, but even if you do good things, you have to pay attention to methods and methods!"

Li Shimin reprimanded,

"It's a big mistake to act like you, disregarding the dignity of the court, and not considering the Lord!"

"Why don't the Hou Junji be eliminated, the court will decay, and the community will be ruined."

"Could it be that you are the only loyal minister, good minister, and virtuous minister in this huge court? Everyone else is like Hou Junji, corrupt? Corrupt officials?"

"If I don't listen to you, my Tang Dynasty will perish?"

Xu Fenglei looked up at Li Shimin.

"...It's hard to say." He blurted out.

The next second, he regretted it.

How can you come back like this?Isn't this adding fuel to the fire, deliberately making the emperor unhappy!
But it can't be his fault... These two words are almost a conditioned reflex, and they popped out of his mouth without even thinking about it...

Sure enough, when Li Shimin heard this, his face turned dark all of a sudden.

"What did you say?"

He stared,

"Tell me again!"

"My minister said that the Tang Dynasty will last for thousands of years, and the country will last forever!" Xu Fenglei opened his mouth and came.

Li Shimin spat.

"Bah! With your silly appearance, how can you look half sick?"

He said viciously,

"You boy, stop pretending! If you keep pretending, I will punish you for deceiving the emperor and send you to prison!"

Xu Fenglei closed his eyes decisively.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..."

"Ho-ho-"

After a severe cough, there was a mouthful of old phlegm that he couldn't spit out no matter how frightened Fang Xuanling was, he hurried forward to beat Xu Fenglei's back, knocking hard, and finally made the phlegm in his throat spit out.

"call……"

Xu Fenglei looked up at Li Shimin, and said weakly,
"Your Majesty, don't scare me... I really can't bear to be scared because of my heart disease."

Li Shimin: "..."

He really wanted to go up and give this kid two big mouths, to see if this kid was hypocritical or not.

But the emperor was an emperor after all, and in the end his magnanimity still made him resist the thought of beating someone.

"...All right, all right! Then tell me, how can this disease be cured?"

Li Er patted his forehead and said helplessly,
"Sun Zhenzhen came here just now, did he leave anything?"

When Xu Fenglei heard this, he immediately showed hesitation.

"Sun Simiao doesn't like this disease either...the so-called heart disease needs heart medicine."

he whispered,

"The minister's illness is cured, unless His Majesty can ignore the past, stop blaming the minister for his recklessness, and treat him more gently in the future."

"Otherwise, this illness won't get better..."

Li Shimin frowned.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Fang Xuanling grabbed his sleeves and persuaded in a low voice,
"You promise to come down first. The grand master's illness is important. He is so young and so talented. He is His Majesty's right-hand man! You can't let His Majesty's arm be broken just because of a heart attack!"

Li Shimin clenched his fist.

"Come on! I will obey you!"

He rolled his eyes and said angrily,

"The matter of Hou Junji has changed! I won't argue with you anymore, let alone blame you."

"In the future, I will care more about you and take care of you, just like taking care of the flowers in the imperial garden."

"Are you satisfied?"

Xu Fenglei stretched his neck and nodded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." He smiled, and said again, "I suddenly feel that my heart...is much more comfortable, and my whole body is not so heavy."

Li Shimin's face immediately collapsed.

"Since the knot in my heart has been solved, it can always be restored, right?"

he said,

"Get back to me quickly! I don't want to see you like this, like a tuberculosis ghost!"

Xu Fenglei shook his head when he heard the words.

"Although Your Majesty has relieved the minister's heart knot, the heart disease is not so good."

he sighed,

"The so-called illness comes like a mountain, and the illness goes like a thread. I won't get better for a while, and I need medical assistance."

"What medicine? You report it, and I will arrange someone to get it for you now." Li Shimin waved his hand, "I must see you get better today! Let's see what this heart disease is!"

Xu Fenglei shook his head again.

"This medicine is very weird, and I also saw it from a remote prescription."

he said,

"The folk prescription said that there is a drop of blood in the center of the heart. This drop of blood is replaced every moment, and it will always remain fresh. But if you have a heart disease or are threatened, this drop of blood will disperse. I want to replenish it. It's hard to come back."

"The only thing that can replenish your efforts is the dragon's beard... Tell me, where can I find this stuff?"

"Dragon is a mythical creature in legends. How can there be a real dragon in this world? Let alone a dragon's beard..."

After all, Xu Fenglei's mood has dropped.

"Dragon beard?"

Li Shimin stroked his beard, frowned and said,

"Where can I find such illusory things? Your folk prescription is completely unbelievable!"

What about dragons and phoenixes? They are all mythological animals, and he wants to see them too, but how has anyone seen real dragons and phoenixes in all dynasties?
It's all just fabricated legends.

"Yeah, that's why I'm sick, and it won't get better in a while..."

Xu Fenglei also looked distressed.

Just when the two were frowning, Fang Xuanling's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed at Li Shimin's beard and said:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the dragon must have it, it's right in front of you!"

"Your beard, isn't it the dragon's beard!"

Li Shimin was taken aback, and subconsciously stroked his beard.

Xu Fenglei also showed surprise in his eyes, he gave Fang Xuanling a thumbs up in his heart, struggled to get up and cupped his hands:
"Yep!"

"Why didn't I think of that! Your Majesty, you are the emperor of the real dragon! Your beard is the beard of a real dragon!"

"Please Your Majesty bestow the Dragon Beard!"

Li Shimin was at a loss for a moment.

"My beard is the dragon beard?"

He said in astonishment,

"Really? Can it really be curative?"

Xu Fenglei nodded firmly.

"That's natural! If you want to talk about other emperors, they may not be considered true dragons! But today, Your Majesty, you, who pioneered the country and established the Great Tang, are definitely the true dragon emperor born from heaven!"

He boasted without hesitation,
"If you can get your dragon's whiskers to heal your illness, I will definitely recover within three days!"

Li Shimin was blown away by this rainbow fart, and his heart was a little smug.

"Cough... For parents who suffer from body, hair and skin, it is taboo to cut their beards, but since there is a cure, I will make an exception."

He raised his hand and said,

"Get the scissors!"

Fang Xuanling walked around the room twice, took a pair of scissors from the table, and handed them to Li Shimin.

Click, click.

Li Shimin carefully cut off a bunch of beard, shook it in front of Xu Fenglei, and said with some heartache:
"My beauty..."

"Is this enough?"

"Enough is enough." Xu Fenglei also knew not to go too far, nodded quickly, and said gratefully, "Thank you Your Majesty for giving me the beard! Your Majesty's great kindness, I will never forget it!"

After finishing the words, he carefully picked up Li Shimin's severed beard with both hands.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Li Shimin stroked his much shorter beard, and said angrily,

"It's better as you said, it will be effective immediately! You can enter the palace tomorrow!"

"Otherwise, I will punish you for your disrespect!"
