I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 553 Talking with a gun and a stick!Xu Fenglei resigned and returned home? !

Seeing Murong Lin fleeing in a hurry, Li Shimin felt a little less depressed.

I have to say, it's quite cool to find someone to vent your anger on.

In particular, this person is still a barbarian, so he doesn't have to worry about being criticized by the admonishers.

"Do you think Murong Fuyun will send his son to plead guilty?"

Li Shimin looked at the ministers and asked.

Changsun Wuji replied:

"Return to Your Majesty, I thought it would be."

"Looking at Murong Lin's attitude, he is quite sincere. A small foreign country is no better than my Tang Dynasty. If the king leaves the country, the country may really be in turmoil."

"In the past, looking at some unofficial history of small countries in the Western Regions, there were many country leaders who went out to hunt and play for a while, and when they came back, they didn't even own the country!"

"Even the Central Plains Dynasty had a similar situation."

"Thus during the Warring States period, the monarchs of various countries at most only sent their protons to other countries, and it was absolutely impossible for them to go abroad. Otherwise, they might be trapped and died in Qin by the King of Qin like King Huai of Chu. Murong Fuyun should have the same experience. concerns."

On the one hand, it is not safe to go abroad by yourself.

On the other hand, when you go to another country, you are not safe.

"Alright! Murong Fuyun's refusal to come is justified."

Li Shimin nodded and said,

"I don't force others to do anything against me. As long as he sends the prince here and doesn't disturb our Tang border, then I will let him go and stop making trouble for him."

"But if he shirks again, then I will never be patient again and again!"

All the ministers bowed their hands when they heard the words.Praise:

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Li Jing and Li Ji looked at each other, they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

They hoped that this Murong Fuyun would not be too sensible, it would be better to kill him!

Only by dying can we have a chance to fight!

Fighting wars, these military generals have the opportunity to make contributions!Otherwise, sitting at home every day, I'm going to fart!
"correct."

Li Shimindao,

"This time, I show kindness to the death row inmates. A total of 390 eight people from death row have been released to go home and reunite with their families within one day."

"One day later, all the prisoners on death row returned to the prison. This is a good thing! It shows that my benevolent government and enlightenment have worked. Even the prisoners on death row have integrity."

"I always believe that no one can stand without faith! As long as a person has integrity, then he still has a bit of conscience, and there is medicine to cure him!"

"What do you ladies think?"

His eyes fell on Wei Zheng.

"Wei Aiqing, I want to hear your opinion."

Li Er rolls the roll.

Wei Zheng got up and cupped his hands and said:
"I think your majesty's move is indeed in line with the saint's way of loyalty and forgiveness, and it is a good deed."

Li Shimin laughed when he heard this.

Even Wei Zheng, a big troll, has approved of his behavior, who else can say that he is wrong?
"Good, good! Very good!"

Li Er raised his hand and said,
"Forgiveness is indeed the essence of benevolent government!"

"Externally, be strict! Internally, be benevolent!"

"Let's do this! I think these death row prisoners have done a good job, and they should be rewarded—let their sentences be postponed for one year, and they will be executed next fall! How about it?"

He looked at the ministers.

"Your Majesty Shengming."

All the ministers are Weiwei.

Without Xu Fenglei, it is naturally impossible for anyone to object.

This year, His Majesty has spent a lot of effort in order to find a reason for Hou Junji not to die, and all the prisoners on death row can live an extra year!
I just don't know, what excuse can he use next year?
Not to mention... I'm quite looking forward to it.

"In addition, this time I inspected the prison, I also found many deficiencies!"

Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction, and said,
"For example, the prisoners are sick, but they can only fend for themselves, and no one cares about them!"

"Another example is their three meals a day, which are extremely poor! It's really not something that people eat!"

"That's why I decided to add the post of prison doctor, which will be performed by the imperial physicians of the imperial hospital on a rotating basis, to examine and treat death row prisoners."

"There is also food and beverages, which must be strengthened. Prisoners are human beings, not animals. Before execution, they still have the rights of being human! Their food and beverages are not very good, but at least they are passable. Vegetables and vegetables are required. Those who are supported by the family should let them eat better."

"These, you love ministers will not object, will you?"

Naturally, no one objected to this question.

After all, a companion is like a tiger, what if one day I commit a crime and go in?
The prison environment, if it can be better, is actually an invisible benefit to them.

"Okay, that's it!"

Li Shimin saw that everything was going well, and immediately smiled brightly, saying,

"Fang Aiqing, it's up to you to implement this matter!"

"Observe the order." Fang Xuanling replied, neither sad nor happy.

Indeed, this is benevolent government.

But if there was no Hou Junji in that prison, would the emperor be so keen on this matter?
Definitely not.

Therefore, this kind of benevolent government sounds high-sounding, but behind the scenes... it is quite uncomfortable.

They may be okay, but the Grand Master...will definitely feel sick.

……

It's day, noon.

Li Shimin finished his lunch, didn't take a nap, and didn't deal with government affairs. Instead, he left the palace, took his servants around, and went to the Duke Xu's mansion to express condolences in person.

"Sick? Hmph..."

Li Shimin stepped into Xu's mansion, looked around a few times, and said,

"I also complained last time, and this time I will complain again. What a coincidence."

"Do you believe it?"

Changsun Wuji: "..."

Fang Xuanling: "..."

How does this make them answer?You have to offend people anyway!
"Anyway, I don't believe it!"

Li Shimin flicked his sleeves and said angrily,

"Let's see this time, how I will expose his scheme!"

"go!"

In the voice of "See Your Majesty", Li Shimin walked to the courtyard of Xu Fenglei's bedroom.

"Sir, Your Majesty is coming!"

The purple maid yelled at Xu Fenglei who was on the recliner, quickly knelt on the ground, and said respectfully,
"See Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin hummed, and his eyes fell on Xu Fenglei.

At this moment, Xu Fenglei is sleeping soundly with his eyes closed!

Look at this kid's face again, it is ruddy and shiny, where is there any sickness?
"Grand Master, Grand Master!"

Changsun Wuji stepped forward, shook Xu Fenglei's arm, and repeatedly reminded,

"Your Majesty is here to see you!"

"Wake up, wake up!"

However, Xu Fenglei seemed to have passed out, no matter how much he shouted, he couldn't wake up, sleeping like a dead pig.

Changsun Wuji and Zi Maid yelled in turn, but Xu Fenglei remained motionless.

"Oh, stop shouting."

Li Shimin sneered,

"How can a person who pretends to be asleep wake up?"

"I know you can hear me——Xu Fenglei, I have come to visit you in person. What do you mean by your gesture?"

"Arrogance humiliated?"

"Stop pretending! If you keep pretending, I'll have someone scald you with hot oil! Let's see if you wake up!"

However, Xu Fenglei remained motionless.

Now, Li Er was completely upset.

You can't go down the stairs, right?
"Okay, come on, get a pot of hot oil!"

He ordered,

"If there's no hot oil, just splash hot water on his face! See if he wakes up!"

With an order, the accompanying guards went to get hot water.

At this moment, Xu Fenglei finally let out a long yawn, and slowly 'woke up'.

"Who... disturbed my lucid dream."

He lazily stretched his waist and said,
"I'm having a sweet dream..."

Changsun Wuji was a little helpless, and said repeatedly:

"Teacher, don't be confused anymore!"

"Your Majesty is here to visit you! I even brought you a gift of condolences! Hurry up and see Your Majesty!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the gift on the table, and then pointed to Li Shimin behind him.

This grand master...she is a little too big!
"Oh! His Majesty is coming!"

Xu Fenglei raised his head, saw Li Shimin, hurriedly cupped his hands,

"See Your Majesty!"

"The minister is sick and unable to get up to greet him, I hope His Majesty will forgive me."

Li Shimin: "￥%...&@#!!!"

Hearing this, the corners of his eyes began to twitch!
This kid didn't pay attention to him at all!
To put it more seriously, this is contempt!
However, Li Er's city is still deep, he took a deep breath, and unexpectedly showed a kind smile.

"Xu Aiqing is ill, so naturally there is no need to be polite."

He sat beside Xu Fenglei and said with a smile,
"But I don't know, what kind of disease are you suffering from? Why did you suddenly fall ill after being well-behaved?"

"You are the pillar of the country! How can the Great Tang function without you?"

Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling looked at each other, their faces straightened, not daring to show any expression.

"Your Majesty doesn't know something, but there is something wrong with my minister."

Xu Fenglei pointed to his temple, and sighed softly,

"It's commonly known as a mental illness. This is a sudden and serious illness... I don't know why, but I suddenly committed it."

"I talked nonsense at home and did a lot of ridiculous things. Fortunately, no outsiders saw it, otherwise I would be ashamed!"

"Ugh--"

Changsun Wuji: "..."

Fang Xuanling: "..."

In these words, how do you feel that you have a gun with a stick?

They're a little overwhelmed.

Li Shimin resisted the desire to roll his eyes.

You better be talking about yourself!
"Hehe...that's really not a trivial matter!"

Li Erpi smiled but said with concern,
"This needs to be treated properly! I'll send you a doctor over here, take a look?"

Xu Fenglei shook his head.

"What's the use of those quack doctors? My minister has already shown it to Sun Zhenren. This disease is difficult to cure."

He earnestly said,

"The only thing we can do is to take a good rest, and we must not move around casually, otherwise, if the condition worsens, our lives may be in danger!"

"So I don't have any other pleadings, I just want to ask His Majesty to agree to let the minister rest a lot, at least a few months..."

"You know, Weichen is very afraid of death..."

Li Shimin: "..."

Rest?

I didn't see how busy you are on weekdays!
He still believed that Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others were sick from overwork and should take a good rest.

You, Xu Fenglei, spend your days fishing for fish, why are you troubled? !
Pure fart!

But he didn't point out Xu Fenglei at the moment, but pretended to be surprised and said:

"Ah! So serious?"

"That's a good rest! In the final analysis, Xu Aiqing is too tired and spent too much effort to assist me."

"Chang'an is too noisy, it's not suitable for self-cultivation, it's better to be on the mountain! How about this! I give you the Yuhua Palace, you take off your errands and go to the Yuhua Palace to recuperate, how about it?"

Let you live in the emperor's palace!
Interesting enough? !
When Xu Fenglei heard this, he was naturally terrified.

"No, no! How can a humble minister, He De, live in His Majesty's palace?"

He waved his hands again and again, saying,
"However, His Majesty's words also reminded me."

"It's really not as good as recuperating in Chang'an in the wild forests... When His Majesty proclaimed the humble official the Duke of the state, he gave him a food town, which is in the Moyu Mountain area."

"I thought that if I could get rid of my errands and go back to Mo Yushan to recuperate, I might be able to get twice the result with half the effort, so that the disease in my head would never recur!"

"Also, Weichen's disciple Qinghe is still in Moyu Mountain. I also want to go home to see him and accompany him. He is very pitiful. Ever since I went out with His Majesty, he has been alone."

"This time, I will stay with him for a few more years and teach him some skills by the way."

Li Shimin's expression darkened.

Obviously, he is very upset!
"Grand Master, you are returning from your old age!"

Changsun Wuji hurriedly came out to smooth things over, and quickly apologized with a smile,

"You are still so young, you are still decades away from going home for the elderly!"

"Namo Yushan, it's okay if you get homesick occasionally and go back to have a look, but you definitely can't live forever! Your Majesty still needs you, and Datang still needs you!"

Xu Fenglei waved his hand.

"What am I? I'm nothing."

He shook his head and smiled,
"You are the pillars of the country and the most important ministers of the Tang Dynasty."

"The current imperial court is almost the same with me or without me, and sometimes it even drags its feet."

"Simply... it's better to move the buttocks to make way for those more capable people to come up - we don't want to be said to be occupying the latrine and not shitting."

Changsun Wuji's smile froze.

Although this remark is self-deprecating, it has a thorn in it.

He knew that Xu Fenglei was protesting.

Li Shimin beside him naturally knew it too.

But Li Shimin was upset at the moment, so naturally he didn't want to spoil him!
"Listen, do you really want to go back to Moyu Mountain?"

Li Er stared at Xu Fenglei and said expressionlessly,

"You want to go back, yes, I can let you go back."

"But I have to tell you that the weather in the imperial court is changing every day! If you leave this time, if you want to come back next time, it may not be what it is now!"

For a minister, whether he is in the court or not is in the court, that is a completely different matter!
Even if you are the number one hero of Lingyan Pavilion with high authority, you should be the crown prince and grand teacher!the same.

In Li Shimin's words, there was a hint of threat.

If you leave the imperial court and the platform, you will completely lose your influence!Nothing!
At that time, I just want to come back. The status at that time is not as good as it is now!
So, are you sure?
However, Xu Fenglei was not scared!
Fool me?
I am afraid of you?

"Your Majesty, I naturally understand this."

Xu Fenglei cupped his hands and said seriously,

"But Weichen, I still want to go back to Moyu Mountain."

"What will happen in the future? Let's talk about it later. To me, the so-called fame and wealth are like dust, not worth mentioning."

"Anyway, now...I want to go back and recuperate."

"Please allow Your Majesty."

After all, he bowed his head.
