I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 555 Li Er bowed his head and admitted his mistake, the Tubo messenger proposed marriage

Li Shimin; "..."

"The former, the former, right?"

He sighed and said,
"I miss the old love! How are you?"

"You know, you all know! I've always acted on my emotions. Hou Junji has made great contributions to me. When he conquered the world, he was at the forefront; when he was at the Xuanwu Gate, he also steadfastly followed!"

"I have a saying in the past, if Qing and others do not disappoint me, I will definitely not betray you!"

Xu Fenglei snorted coldly, noncommittal.

Of course he knew that this was Li Er's old problem!

The last time he moved his heart of compassion, he did not kill Hou Junji in the end, but this time he moved again!

True.

For a courtier, such a monarch is very good.

Even if he made a mistake, he would help him cover it up and help him offend—in the past dynasties, there are very few monarchs who can remember their old love like this.

"I... just say it straight!"

Seeing Xu Fenglei showing displeasure, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief.

Discomfort means revealing true emotions.

The most uncomfortable thing is that kind of superficial smile, wearing a mask and being polite, it can make people feel uncomfortable!

"If it wasn't for being concerned about you, Hou Junji's corruption, at most I would reprimand him and demote him to be an official in another place!"

Li Er confessed,
"It is precisely because of your thoughts that I sentenced him to death. Every year, I racked my brains to think of ways to slow down his death sentence, carefully give him some treatment, and make his life in prison easier. Live as comfortably as possible.”

"Zhen, it's not that I ignore you or disrespect you. On the contrary, I respect you too much! Otherwise, I would take the initiative to visit you today?"

He paused, and said angrily:
"Who doesn't know that your complaint is fake? Who doesn't know that you are trying to show me? I know it all! But I still came! I thought I had a bad attitude just now, and now I come back to apologize to you kid!"

"Damn... coaxing a lady is not as difficult as coaxing you!"

Hearing this, both Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling laughed out loud.

"Yes, yes... I can testify that His Majesty still respects the opinion of the Grand Master."

"I can also testify, grand master, don't be angry, your Majesty also said, just this one time, don't make an example!"

The two came out to help one after another. How can you still remember Li Shimin's "dominant remarks" when he was in the prison?
"Humph……"

Xu Fenglei crossed his arms and asked back,
"Is it really an example?"

"Last time I told me not to be an example, and I believed it; this time I told me not to be an example. Can I still believe it?"

"Your Majesty himself said that once Jinkou is opened, it cannot be changed, but with me, you have broken your promise!"

With Hou Jun in his heart, he must die!

Under Li Shimin's mediation, it was already a compromise that he could be imprisoned for life.

But now, something like this happened again.

Could it be that he was asked to compromise again and again?
Until he watched Hou Junji come out of the dungeon openly and aboveboard?
That is something he absolutely cannot accept!

"This time, it's really, really... let's not make an example!"

Li Shimin raised his hand and promised,

"I won't visit him again! I won't have any messy thoughts!"

"Everything ends here, let him spend his old age in prison! If I break my promise again, you say...you can do whatever you say, and I will have nothing to say!"

Li Er was about to swear at this moment!
Seeing that his attitude was quite sincere, Xu Fenglei finally calmed down.

"Actually, I don't have to make things difficult for Your Majesty."

he said,

"Since you are also confessing, then I am also frank!"

"Don't blame me for speaking bluntly, the relationship between me and Hou Junji has already been formed! The kind that never dies!"

"I want to kill him, but why doesn't he want to kill me? What you have done is giving him hope and threatening me!"

"On the day I let him go home, I don't know how many ways to deal with me in the future have been planned in his mind!"

"You said, can I be happy about this?"

The beam formed by the two sides is a seesaw.

When one party gains power, it will inevitably suppress the other party severely, to the point of death!

The current situation is that Xu Fenglei suppressed Hou Junji.

But Li Shimin suddenly entered the arena and lifted Hou Junji!
How can Xu Fenglei bear this?
Can't bear it, okay?
Li Shimin frowned, his expression was a bit tangled.

As the emperor, he really didn't want to see the two heroes under his command turn against each other and die endlessly.

After all, for him, there are feelings...

"Oh! I know, I know."

In the end, Li Er reassured again and again,

"I won't embarrass you again in the future... Put this luggage away, it's so embarrassing..."

After finishing speaking, he gave Changsun Wuji a wink.

"That's right! Grand Master... Even if you want to go back to Moyu Mountain, you have to go back in a good manner, right?"

Changsun Wuji stepped forward quickly, pulled Xu Fenglei's luggage, and said with a smile,
"This is like an ascetic monk. If you don't know, you may think that you are in trouble..."

"We are all people with status, we have to have all the specifications we should have, don't you think so?"

Xu Fenglei pouted, but didn't stop him, allowing him to grab the package.

"There are mountains in the world, escape. A gentleman is far from a villain, and he is strict without being evil."

he said,

"I am following the Tianshan Dun Gua in the "Book of Changes", not arguing with the villain, or hiding among the people, or hiding in the mountains and forests, I just escape by myself."

"Have you ever seen a person who escaped with great fanfare?"

Changsun Wuji smiled awkwardly.

"How can there be villains? No villains, no villains..."

He continued,
"You don't need to argue, you are right."

"Come on, sit down, sit down. I'll pour you tea, let's replace the wine with tea, have a drink, and have a nice and peaceful time, okay?"

After all, Changsun Wuji actually got the teapot and cups himself, and poured a cup for Xu Fenglei, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling.

"Come on, raise your glass."

he laughed,
"After drinking this cup, we won't have any so-called conflicts...all the troubles will disappear."

All three raised their glasses.

"Your Majesty, I can stay, but when I want to be free, I will go back to Moyu Mountain."

Xu Fenglei raised his glass and looked at Li Shimin, and said,

"After all, my fiefdom is there, and there are some old friends... I want to go back and have a look."

Li Shimin looked relieved.

"Wealth and honor do not return to one's hometown, such as traveling at night in a brocade, I will allow myself."

he replied,
"However, my condition is - to go back with the grandeur of the Duke, and let the people over there take a good look and envy them!"

"Otherwise, if you don't know, you'll think that I'm treating heroes harshly!"

Xu Fenglei smiled.

"sure."

He raised his head and drank the tea in one gulp.

The other three naturally drank the tea, and the atmosphere finally returned to harmony.

"It's getting late, I'm going back to the palace first."

Li Shimin greeted,

"You are not allowed to be absent from the Zhengshitang meeting these days!"

"If you are absent again, let alone this year's salary, you will lose your salary for the next ten years!"

These words seem to be a warning, but in fact, to Xu Fenglei, there is no threat.

He really doesn't like the salary.

However, in order to save face for the emperor, he quickly cupped his hands and said:

"According to the order."

"Your Majesty, go slowly, and I will see you off."

Under his escort, the three of Li Shimin left Xu Guogong's mansion and entered the laneway.

Li Shimin: "#￥%...&##@!!!"

He walked in front, muttering and cursing, and the two behind him didn't know what he was talking about.

It wasn't until I got closer and listened that I understood it.

"Damn it, this is the first time I've been so humble!"

Li Er cursed and said,

"If it weren't for your credit, heh heh! Heh heh heh..."

He left there talking to himself, but Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling couldn't stop laughing.

"What are you two laughing at?"

Li Shimin asked with a bad expression.

Fang Xuanling said: "Hey, back to Your Majesty, I think of something happy."

Changsun Wuji also tensed his expression, and said: "It's the same with me, I thought of something happy."

Li Shimin: "?"

"Fart you! You two haven't had a baby recently, how can you be happy?"

He laughed and scolded,

"Tell me! Are you kidding me!"

"Be honest and be lenient. I haven't come to investigate your crimes yet. If you talk nonsense, I will punish you anyway!"

Having said that, Li Er was not angry at the moment.

The two ministers are naturally more courageous.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said:

"Okay, okay... I'm thinking, Your Majesty has made the right choice, and I'm happy for His Majesty."

Li Shimin was startled.

"What choice?" he asked.

"This choice is actually—hou Junji is more important, or is Xu Fenglei more important?"

Changsun Wuji replied,

"The answer is naturally obvious - it must be Xu Fenglei who is important! He is the grand master of the court and the number one hero appointed by you!"

"But it's the number one hero who was almost forced away by your wrong behavior. We are all sweating for you!"

Li Shimin frowned slightly and remained silent.

"Yes."

Fang Xuanling answered,

"Even if the merits are great or small, in terms of right and wrong, it is Hou Junji's fault first, and it is only natural for the Grand Master to suppress him!"

"If Your Majesty insists on releasing Hou Junji, it will not only chill the hearts of the Grand Master, but also the hearts of the people of the world! After all, there are moths in the imperial court, which are harmful to the people of the world!"

Li Shimin pouted.

"Okay... I didn't think much about it."

He shook his head and sighed,
"Thinking about it carefully, I am indeed acting on my will."

"If Hou Junji committed other crimes, there is still room for discussion. This corruption is digging the foundation of the Tang Dynasty!"

"If you open the net to him, it will definitely create a very bad atmosphere in the government and the public! If you don't protect it, some people will rely on their merits and learn from Hou Junji!"

"As bad as that, politics is bad..."

When Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling heard the words, they both nodded.

"That's what Your Majesty said."

Li Shimin waved his hand.

"All right!"

he said,

"If you open the golden mouth today, you must abide by it!"

"From now on, I won't bother with Hou Junji anymore!"

"However, as I said before, we still have to do the matter of improving the treatment - so, I can be regarded as doing my best."

"It's getting late, you all go back! I have my own guards to escort me back to the palace."

"Yes, I'm leaving." The two looked at each other, they both relaxed their minds and retreated in response.

……

The heat is fading and the weather is suddenly cold.

Unknowingly, the seventh year of Zhenguan is also drawing to its end.

Inside the Changan Posthouse.

"Duke Tang, please also tell His Majesty Tian Khan about Zanpu's request."

A man in strange clothes bowed to Tang Jian and begged,

"It's important, really."

Tang Jian stroked his beard, but his expression was a little embarrassed.

"Emissary of Gar, I will definitely help to request, but if His Majesty agrees or not, then I don't know."

he said,

"After all, there are really many countries where my Tang Dynasty has asked to marry princesses over the years."

"For example, Murong Lin, the envoy of Tuyuhun next door to you, also gave the performance. Tuyuhun and Datang can be considered to have some friendship, and they bowed their heads and bowed their heads. But even so... His Majesty hasn't said that he will definitely agree."

"You Tubo and my Tang Dynasty have never had a relationship. This is the first time I come here, and I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to ask for a princess."

The person in front of him is the Tubo envoy - Gal Dongzan.

That is, the future famous Prime Minister of Tubo - Lu Dongzan!

Of course, at the moment he is still just a kid, not yet the Tubo Prime Minister, but just a messenger.

"Ah! This... okay."

Lu Dongzan said helplessly,

"No matter what, please give me some kind words from Mr. Tang. If you can let me see His Majesty Tian Khan, that would be the best!"

"I believe that as long as you see my sincerity and Zanpu's sincerity, His Majesty Tian Khan will definitely agree!"

Tang Jian patted him on the shoulder.

"sure."

After all, he turned and left.

Sincerity?

Every envoy who came to the Tang Dynasty to pay pilgrimage looked very sincere.

But what happened behind the scenes, who knows?

Just say that the Tuyuhun envoy has been arguing with Datang for a long time.

At the beginning, they asked their lord Murong Fuyun to plead guilty, but he declined.

Then he retreated to the next best thing, and let Prince Murong Zun of Tuyuhun come to Chang'an to plead guilty, but people talked about him from left to right, and wanted to ask to marry a princess of the Tang Dynasty!
He didn't even know how to tell His Majesty about this matter.

If after agreeing, you come up with something else, your Majesty won't be so mad?Maybe it will have to be wiped out!
At that time, maybe he will have to blame it...

Now, Tubo, who was out of reach, came to propose marriage again.

Beg for a kiss, beg for a kiss from your uncle!
Without the Datang woman, you can't survive, right?

Simply sick!The princesses of our Tang Dynasty are all precious, and they are not wholesale, they can be sent out by the dozen!
Ugh!
Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

Anyway, it's really not easy to be the Minister of Honghe Temple!
"Tuyuhun can propose marriage, why can't I, Tubo?"

The emissary beside Lu Dongzan, Sambaza, said indignantly,
"That Tuyuhun is far worse than our Tubo!"

"Heavenly Khan doesn't understand our Tubo's strength, but he wants to know our Tubo's strength, so he will be happy to marry this princess!"

"Marrying our Zanpu is also a blessing for Princess Datang!"

Lu Dongzan's expression turned serious.

"Don't talk nonsense! Shut up!"

he scolded,

"This is Datang! It's not your Tibetan home!"
