I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 548 Li Er is unhappy, who are you afraid of? !
Inside the cell.

Li Shimin personally poured a glass of wine for Hou Junji.

"The criminal minister can come by himself, and the criminal minister can come by himself..."

"How dare you bother His Majesty to pour the wine himself..."

Hou Junji waved his hands again and again, even the heavy lock on his hand twitched.

"It's okay, I'll just pour you some wine, so what?"

Li Shimin pulled his hand away, pointed to the jailer and said,
"Remove the shackles!"

"I don't want him to drink with me to reminisce about the past!"

"Observe the order." The jailer naturally complied, and stepped forward to remove Hou Junji's handcuffs and fetters.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hou Junji loosened his wrist, showing a smile, "People say that after carrying a weight, it will be much easier to remove the weight. This is how people in the martial arts practice lightness kung fu, and now it seems true."

Seeing this, Li Shimin felt rather uncomfortable.

This Hou Junji is a pleasure in suffering!
To be honest, if he was full of resentment and looked like he didn't like to talk to him, Li Er would feel better in his heart.

But Hou Junji has no complaints now... On the contrary, it made Li Er feel a little more guilty.

"It hurts you."

Li Shimin sighed softly, and ordered,

"From now on in this prison, Hou Junji will no longer have to wear shackles!"

"I can't run away, so why put such a heavy burden on people?"

"Observe the order." The jailer promised.

Fang Xuanling also remained silent, standing on the edge of the cell, like a transparent person.

"Your Majesty, all condemned prisoners are like this, so there is no need to make an exception for criminals."

Hou Junji shook his head and said,

"The criminal minister has long been used to it..."

When Li Shimin heard this, his expression was firm.

"no!"

He said decisively,

"How can you be compared with other condemned prisoners? Although you are at fault, but..."

"Anyway, you can make an exception!"

"Come on, have a drink!"

Ding!
The two wine glasses collided together, making a crisp sound.

Hou Junji held the wine glass with both hands, and drank the fine wine in the glass in one gulp.

"what--"

Li Shimin also finished drinking, and filled another glass of wine for Hou Jun again, saying,

"Junji, let's have another drink!"

"I haven't come to see you for the past two years. It's definitely not because I forgot you, but... Sigh!"

Li Er drank another glass of wine, a little tipsy, and his emotions came up immediately after scratching.

"The criminal minister knows, the criminal minister knows that His Majesty is thinking of the criminal minister all the time."

Hou Junji cupped his hands in worship,
"Otherwise, the humble life of the guilty minister would have been gone long ago, so how could it be possible to stay until today?"

"The guilty minister is grateful for His Majesty's kindness, and is very grateful!"

After finishing speaking, he knelt down on the ground again and kowtowed to Li Shimin.

"Oh, what are you doing kowtowing all the time? Get up..."

Li Shimin quickly pulled him up and sighed,

"You are meritorious. No matter what happens, I have to save your life, otherwise I will not feel at ease..."

"Thinking back in the past, you also made great military exploits under my command, and finally helped protect me to ascend the throne. You did a great job!"

"Thinking of the past, I feel so sad..."

suck.

Li Er, who has never been a good drinker, drank another glass of wine. He is not a little tipsy at the moment, he is already a little drunk.

"Heroes don't mention the courage of the past, heroes don't mention the courage of the past..."

Hou Junji lowered his head while clutching the wine glass, shook his head and said with a smile,
"All the past... the guilty minister can't remember anymore..."

Li Shimin's heart became more and more sad when he heard this.

"No, you have to remember! Even if you don't remember, I will remember!"

He held Hou Junji's shoulders and said seriously,

"In the final analysis, it is because I didn't manage you well, so that I created evil results... But I am definitely not a mean and ungrateful king!"

"Although you are guilty, you also have merit!"

"Junji, do you have any wish? You must have a wish, right? Just say it! As long as I can do it, I will help you do it!"

Now that the spirit of drinking was on the rise, Li Er didn't care about anything else, and just gave Hou Junji a guaranteed meal!

"This... criminal minister has no other wishes."

Li Shimin was very excited, but Hou Junji was relatively calm. Looking at Li Shimin, he said softly,
"If you have any wishes, please ask your majesty to heal the prison sore on the criminal's leg."

"In this way, the guilty minister does not have to suffer from sores, and can relax a lot."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.

"What is this? This is what it should be!"

he said,

"It's also my negligence. Even if you are a prisoner, you should act like a person, not a ghost!"

"This sore, someone will come to cure you right away... Also, in the future, I will set up a prison doctor to come to treat the prisoners every ten days."

"This sore in the prison will no longer exist!"

Hearing these words, Fang Xuanling's teeth ached for a while.

The emperor's blood rushed to his head, and he treated the prisoners better than ordinary people!
Just ask ordinary people, can they still have a full meal without working hard?
Let me ask ordinary people, can they get a physical examination and treatment every ten days?

This bitch is still a prisoner?
Life is more comfortable than that of a local rich man!
Your Majesty, this is for the sake of Hou Junji alone, raising the treatment of the prisoners!

This of course made Fang Xuanling feel uncomfortable, but that didn't mean anything.

After all, improving the treatment of prisoners also belongs to the category of "rule of benevolence", and it can be regarded as something advocated by governing the country. You can't say anything about other emperors.

After all, the Zhenguan Dynasty focused on the rule of benevolence.

"This, Your Majesty..."

Hou Junji's expression was moved, and tears of excitement welled up in his eyes.

"Needless to say, these are as they should be."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said,

"Go ahead, change your wish!"

"I will definitely satisfy you, you can rest assured!"

"Say it, you can say anything, as long as it's what you want!"

Hou Junji was slightly taken aback.

What he wanted most, of course, was to get out of prison!

But this is impossible. Although His Majesty can ask for anything, he has to be ignorant, otherwise the good impression formed just now will be gone.

"...Sinner, I do have an unfeeling request."

Hou Junji hesitated for a while, and said in a somewhat embarrassed way,
"But for His Majesty, it must be very difficult."

"So...or just don't talk about it."

Li Shimin frowned.

"You... want to get out of prison?" he asked.

"No, no..." Hou Junji shook his head again and again, and said, "The guilty minister absolutely does not have such unreasonable thoughts, and it would be false to say that he does not want to be released from prison, but the guilty minister knows that his sins are so serious that it is impossible for him to go out. This kind of request will only embarrass you, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

He didn't speak, but it was considered a tacit consent.

Although I can agree to any conditions, it is impossible to get out of prison.

At that time, Xu Fenglei will definitely make a big fuss!This is the bottom line of that kid, he can't move.

If it's not done well, I still have to coax it... I may not be able to coax it well, the gain outweighs the loss.

"Then tell me, what is your wish?"

Li Shimin raised his head and said,

"Except for that...I think other things, I should be fine."

After Hou Junji said this, Li Er became more determined to help him fulfill his wish!

If you can't help get out of prison, you must do something else!

"Your Majesty, the guilty minister... is feeling homesick."

Hou Junji took a sip of his wine, his eyes dimmed.

He said softly:

"I miss my family... I don't know if they are still living well. I am in jail, so they must be having a hard time."

"I dragged them down, I really want to say sorry to them face to face... But there is no such opportunity."

"Ugh……"

Seeing that he was depressed, Li Shimin felt a little uncomfortable.

He patted Hou Junji's shoulder and sighed softly:

"Looking for home and family... This is the simplest thought..."

"Your wish is a little small."

Hou Junji shook his head and said:

"No, not small, not small at all."

"This is the deepest desire in the heart of the criminal, and I have been longing for it for two years."

"If Your Majesty allows the guilty minister to meet his family members, even for a short while...the guilty minister will die without regret!"

Speaking of the excitement, he knelt down on the ground again, grabbing the ground with his head, his buttocks sticking out high!

This pout is enough to see how eager he is!
At this time, Changsun Wuji arrived with the imperial physician.

"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Zhang is best at treating sores, and I have brought him here."

He cupped his hands towards Li Shimin, and turned to look at Hou Junji.

Ok?
This shape...is very unique.

"Junji, get up and treat the sores first."

Li Shimin helped Hou Junji up, and said in a deep voice,
"Your wish, I promise you, I will definitely let you meet your family members."

"No, it's not just as simple as meeting the first time, I will give you more."

Hou Junji's expression was shocked.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

He got up and bowed to Li Shimin again, and then with the help of Doctor Zhang, he lay back on the couch again.

"Zhang Su, you must cure Hou Junji's sore disease!"

Li Shimin ordered,

"Healed, I have a reward!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do my best." Imperial Physician Zhang respectfully accepted the order, and then gently rolled up Hou Junji's trousers.

A huge and hideous scar came into view.

"Doctor Zhang, don't force yourself if you can't cure it."

Hou Junji smiled warmly,
"It only hurts in summer, but it's fine at other times."

Zhang Su checked carefully and smiled.

"This is a prison sore, mainly caused by the environment. In fact, there is no need to treat it at all. As long as you change it to a dry and cool place, it will heal naturally."

He stroked his beard and said,

"It's like the chilblains on the hands of the murlocs. Every time it happens in winter, it's fine the rest of the time."

"If I stopped selling fish, my chilblain would heal naturally, and it wouldn't recur."

"Both are the same."

Everyone in the prison was stunned when they heard the words.

"In the sky prison, is there a cool and dry cell?"

Li Shimin looked at the jailer and said,

"The few who don't have sores are in a better location, and they are all in a ventilated place."

"Find the one with the best position and exchange it for Hou Junji!"

"Of order." The jailer nodded obediently.

"Hou Gong, let me clean up your sores first, and then apply the sore medicine I developed myself."

Zhang Sudao,
"Maybe the process will take a little longer, and there will be some pain."

"You have to be patient a little bit, after all, it is a bit troublesome to get rid of the root of the disease."

Hou Junji nodded.

"I'm sorry, Doctor Zhang." He cupped his hands slightly.

How can this polite appearance look like the arrogant and domineering Hou Junji back then?
It seems that these two years have really changed him a lot...

Li Shimin watched Zhang Su start to get busy, and said with his hands behind his back:

"Let's not disturb, let's go outside first."

"Just right, I also have something to discuss with you."

After the words fell, he had already walked out of the cell.

Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling also followed, and followed Li Shimin to the original aisle.

scoff.

Facing the wall, Li Shimin lit a cigarette casually, hesitated for a while, and then slowly turned around.

"How can Hou Junji's wish be fulfilled?"

He looked at Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, and said in a deep voice,
"Give me an explanation."

Changsun Wuji looked at Fang Xuanling.

"I just came here, let's listen to Xuanling's opinion." He kicked the ball at the speed of light.

Fang Xuanling: "..."

"It's not a big deal that Hou Junji wants to see his family."

Fang Xuanling pondered for a while before pondering,
"I thought that I could bring his family to the prison and arrange for them to meet."

"That's enough..."

Li Shimin frowned, and puffed out a puff of smoke from his nostrils.

"I want to make him look good."

He said displeased,

"Didn't you see how he blamed himself just now? He felt that he was a drag on his family."

"At this time, if he arranged for his family to meet in prison, wouldn't it hurt his dignity even more?"

"Jun Jizhen knows it, he is the one who cares about face the most, so... definitely can't arrange to meet in prison."

"Think again."

Fang Xuanling made a mistake this time, and turned his head to look at Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji also faltered, speechless.

"Heh... After all, you used to be colleagues, and you also have friendship! How come you don't even have any sympathy?"

Li Shimin's expression was not good, and he said,
"Just look at him so pitifully, and don't help him think of a way?"

"If one day you commit crimes and commit crimes, and your colleagues ignore you like this, don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Changsun Wuji: "..."

"Then Your Majesty, why don't you ask Hou Junji to dress up and clean up neatly, and then you arrange a place for him to meet his family secretly?"

He didn't want to be labeled as 'mean and ruthless' by Li Shimin, so he opened his mouth and said,
"In this way, is it still decent?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin shook his head again.

"Secret meeting? Why secret? Is it so shameful?"

He said angrily,

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of someone? Are you afraid that someone will be unhappy?"

"It's not that I want to release Hou Junji, it's just to let him meet his family! Why do you look like you don't dare to go overboard?"

Li Shimin paused for a while, and said decisively:
"If I want to tell you... let Hou Junji go home for a day, let him reunite with his family for a day, have a good talk, have a meal, sleep well at home, and let his mind go back to the prison!"

"So, can I?"

Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji were both taken aback.

Good guy, let a condemned prisoner go home for a day?
"Your Majesty, there has never been such a precedent."

Fang Xuanling said with some embarrassment,
"Besides, if you do this and give Hou Junji freedom, I am worried that the Grand Master...may have great opinions."
