I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chang'an, Tai Chi Palace!

A battle report was sent to the Political Affairs Hall.

"As far as military expenditure is concerned, the current consumption is not large."

Changsun Wuji held the war report in his hand,
"Duan Zhixuan used a fast-paced style of play, breaking through the Tuyuhun tribe all the way, making rapid progress."

"Judging from the record, it can be said that the momentum is overwhelming, and it will soon come to Tuyuhun King City."

Li Shimin stroked his beard, but there was not much joy on his face.

Yes, only calm.

After all, as far as the current combat effectiveness of the Datang army is concerned, no matter how they fight, they will always win, and this will be the result of whoever goes.

"These are not important."

Li Jing said in a deep voice,
"The point is, the Tuyuhun royal family's movements."

"Although Duan Zhixuan's speed is very fast, no matter how fast he hits, that time is enough for Murong to escape and transfer."

"So, did Duan Zhixuan split up a second army to prevent Murong Fuyun from being killed?"

Changsun Wuji glanced at the battle report.

"It wasn't mentioned in the battle report."

He looked up and said,

"He should be a united force, condensing the strength together, otherwise it would not be possible to have such a fast speed."

Li Jing pouted.

"Then there's nothing to be happy about."

He hummed softly,

"If you fight like this, anyone can achieve this record."

"The grassland tribes are different from us. When they saw any movement, they ran away. When the army crossed the border, they turned back again. It can be said that they will not be injured at all."

"Wherever they are, there is a city."

"So, it's useless to turn off the push! Tell me how many enemies you killed! Did you have any encounters?"

Changsun Wuji glanced at the battle report again.

"……not much."

He said helplessly,
"It's almost reached the king's city, and only a few thousand people have been beheaded, without even a strong resistance."

"But no matter what, his front line is pushed very fast, which is worthy of recognition."

Li Jing's face darkened.

"What is worthy of affirmation, I think this is very rash!"

He scolded bluntly,
"The current Tuyuhun army is obviously just avoiding the edge for the time being! Perhaps the royal city is nothing to them."

"What they are doing now must be to preserve their strength, and then they will take advantage of our army's slack to bite back! Duan Zhixuan is still not reliable after all!"

Changsun Wuji: "..."

Is this Li Jing not dealing with Duan Zhixuan?

Why do you like picking pricks so much!
Obviously the battle report is very gratifying, it is a good news, why is it all a problem here for Li Jing?
"Pharmacist, don't get too excited."

Li Shimin waved his hands and smiled,
"No matter what, the battle report is not bad, and there is a great victory ahead."

"As for what to do next, it depends on Duan Zhixuan's judgment on the spot. Maybe he can have a good strategy in Tuyuhun?"

"Let's sit in the hall, even if we can talk, it's just talking on paper. After all, no one can analyze it thoroughly on the spot."

"Did you say so?"

Li Er didn't like being pointed at when he was fighting.

So when he became emperor, he gave the generals under his command the highest degree of freedom.

You can play as you want.

I will never do micromanagement, I will only do logistics for you and be the captain of the transportation team.

Everything depends on the result.

"...Your Majesty said so."

Hearing this, Li Jing could only nod his head helplessly, and then said,

"But I think I still need to remind Duan Zhixuan."

"Don't be dazzled by the success in front of you, you should be more cautious. The smoother the situation, the more likely there is a fraud."

Li Shimin nodded.

"Okay, just follow what you said and send him an order."

Li Er ordered,
"Give Duan Zhixuan a commendation order, and attach the words of the pharmacist."

"Finally, I wish him victory."

"that's it."

Swish swish.

Without saying a word, Fang Xuanling began to draft the imperial decree.

"Auxiliary machine, how long is the military expenditure enough?"

Li Shimin asked again.

"With the current consumption, it can last for more than half a year without any pressure."

Changsun Wuji replied,
"The main reason is that the price of grain is cheap now, and the old grain from the past is just used as grain and grass."

"Tobacco taxes only cost less than [-] percent. If all the cigarettes are supplied, this battle will not be a problem in three to five years! It's just that the supply line is too long."

Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction, and patted Xu Fenglei on the shoulder.

"Comfortable, I have never fought in such a comfortable way!"

He laughed loudly,
"It's all thanks to the grand master! Finding such a good thing as tobacco has given us such a rich income!"

"Listen, I thank you, and the emperors of future generations will also be grateful to you! With this money, there is no need to worry about fighting!"

"Hit as you want, as you like!"

Xu Fenglei: "..."

The emperor will be grateful to me?
The world is afraid that they will scold me to death!
He wants to use his own power to bring down the average life expectancy of everyone!

"Your Majesty, the minister and Sun Simiao, the dean of the medical school, together summed up the top ten hazards of smoking."

Xu Fenglei suddenly raised his head and said,

"I want to promote it and let the world know that smoking is harmful to health!"

"You can see it?"

Li Shimin: "..."

"what?"

He said in surprise,

"Why? Don't you want to reduce the tobacco tax revenue? If the revenue is reduced, the army will have less money to fight!"

Xu Fenglei looked serious.

"No reason, for the conscience in my heart."

He said seriously,

"Smoking is really harmful to the body."

"Many people don't know its harm, choose to follow the trend blindly, and destroy their bodies invisibly. This is what I don't want to see."

"So, I have to let the world know that this thing is harmful! In this way, if everyone still smokes, it is their own problem."

Li Shimin thought for a moment.

"Is that so..."

He frowned, looking a little hesitant.

After all, he enjoyed the dividends brought by the tobacco tax, so he didn't want to reduce his income so quickly.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that the tobacco tax revenue will not be reduced too much."

Xu Fenglei added,
"Publicity is publicity, and those who should smoke will still smoke."

"What we want to persuade are teenagers and people who cherish their lives... If you worry a lot and don't care about your lifespan, then it doesn't matter. No matter how harmful you tell them, they won't quit."

Li Shimin nodded.

"That's true... It's like you told me about the dangers of smoking, but I still can't help but have one, and another."

He said helplessly,

"How easy is it to quit?"

"Unless one day, I don't have the slightest worry anymore, then maybe I will quit naturally."

Xu Fenglei was silent for a while.

This is the reason.

There are nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in life.

If it's all good things and there's no worries, who would want to smoke this shit?
"You go to promote it, what you just said is right, you can't let teenagers and children come into contact with this thing!"

Li Shimin ordered,

"Here, we must strictly guard against death!"

"After they become adults, we should also teach them more about the dangers of smoking... Also, we can increase the price when appropriate."

price increase!

If you can't afford it, don't you have to smoke, or smoke less?

In this way, the goal of reducing the number of smokers can also be achieved, and Datang's profits will not be damaged too much.

"Yes."

Xu Fenglei nodded in agreement.

……

After the meeting was over, Xu Fenglei was still thinking about how to publicize to get the best results.

Outside the Xuanwu Gate, there was a straight figure standing there motionless.

When Xu Fenglei walked out of the Xuanwu Gate, the figure trembled suddenly!
Then—started galloping!

"Big Brother!!!"

Like a monkey, Xue Rengui shouted and rushed forward!

The guards on the Xuanwu Gate suddenly became nervous!

Who is this kid?
Where did it come from!alert!
Swish swish!
Countless bows and crossbows were aimed at Xue Rengui, but Xue Rengui didn't realize it at the moment, he hugged Xu Fenglei with a bear hug!
"Bengui?!"

Xu Fenglei was also a little surprised, hugging the strong man in front of him, he said,

"You kid is back?!"

"Ouch! You really miss Big Brother!"

Bang bang bang!
His arm patted Xue Rengui's thick shoulder, making a dull sound.

"So strong! You boy!"

Xue Rengui laughed.

"Of course! I didn't treat myself badly!"

He patted his chest and said proudly,

"Brother, little brother can protect you in the future!"

Seeing his vigorous appearance, Xu Fenglei also felt somewhat relieved.

This kid... has finally worked out!

"Okay, okay, good job you boy!"

He put his arms around Xue Rengui's shoulders and said,

"Let's go, let's go home! Go home and eat!"

"We never get drunk!"

"Yes!" Xue Rengui responded with a bright smile.

Seeing the two leaving shoulder to shoulder, the guards on the city gate will be punished in one fell swoop!

"This... who is this person?"

"That's right, the grand master is so close to him! It should not be an ordinary person."

"I also think... It's a good thing I didn't miss just now. If he shoots him to death, we won't have to pay for our lives?"

"..."

It's night, Duke Xu's mansion.

Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
Xue Rengui and Xu Fenglei kept clinking glasses, already looking drunk.

Xu Fenglei is also fully fired today, it's delicious!He who claims to never get drunk after a thousand cups actually became a little bit drunk.

There is a saying that if you don't get drunk, everyone gets drunk.

When you are happy, let go of drinking, let yourself be intoxicated, there is nothing wrong with it.

"Brother, let me tell you!"

"That Songtsan Gampo, I shot a cloud-piercing arrow and only heard a whistling sound!"

"Guess what?"

"What's the matter?" Xu Fenglei played a very cooperative role.

"Shua! That kid was shot to death by me!"

Xue Rengui laughed and said,

"I can't help but shoot! I thought I would end him within three arrows! I didn't expect to shoot him with one arrow!"

"Zanpu of Tubo died in my hands just like that! You say... isn't this absurd?"

Xu Fenglei drank the fine wine in his glass.

"Yeah...absurd!"

he laughed,
"So, no one would have thought that this was written by Tang Ren!"

"Your mission was accomplished very well! It is precisely because of the perfection of your key link that my strategy can be implemented!"

"Right now, the Tang Dynasty is victorious in Tuyuhun, and Murong Fuyun runs away with his head in his arms!"

"It is said that there is also civil strife within Tubo, and it is divided into two factions. Now they are fighting fiercely, and there is a faint tendency to split!"

"These... are all thanks to your kid's arrow!"

Xue Rengui waved his hands again and again.

"What am I? I'm just a pawn in your hand, big brother. I'll go wherever you want me to go!"

He earnestly said,

"If you want to say credit, everything is due to your plan!"

"Without my younger brother, there will be someone who can complete the task well."

Xu Fenglei grinned.

"You boy, you are a lot more tactful now... You must have learned it from Cheng Zhijie."

Xue Rengui waved his hands again and again.

"Master Cheng didn't teach me this, and I'm not tactful, I really think so in my heart."

He hurriedly said,
"Brother, you have to trust me!"

Xu Fenglei nodded.

"Brother naturally believes in you."

he whispered,

"But no matter how you say it, you've done it beautifully! Even His Majesty wants to meet you!"

"Tomorrow, I will take you into the palace, you have to behave well! That may be your chance to reach the sky!"

Xue Rengui's expression froze.

"Little brother understands!" He said solemnly.

I worked hard to make achievements, and I only got an opportunity for the emperor's 'interview'.

This opportunity is extremely precious!

If the emperor is satisfied, he must be a general in the future!The start may be partial to the general!
If you disappoint His Majesty, then you may have to start as an unknown captain.

"By the way, have you dealt with those people under your command?"

Xu Fenglei suddenly asked again,

"This matter is a secret among secrets!"

"Except for His Majesty and you and me, even your masters don't know much!"

"Therefore, this matter must not be leaked! Once leaked, the impact on Datang will be immeasurable!"

Xue Rengui shook his head.

"They were nice people, so I didn't think about dealing with them in the first place."

He said in a low voice,

"So, my little brother did this..."

As he spoke, he explained his strategy in detail, and also repeated to Xu Fenglei what he said to his subordinates in Xue Yantuo.

Then, Xue Rengui looked at Xu Fenglei cautiously.

"Brother, look at me like this... I should be safe, right?"

He looked at Xu Fenglei's expression and whispered,

"Although these soldiers are all Turks, they really love Datang! All of them love Datang even more than the Tang people, for fear that Datang will be ashamed! I was shocked!"

"It is precisely because of this that I am even more reluctant to deal with them... Brother, please forgive my willfulness."

"If you feel unsafe... I, I will deal with them now. I haven't disbanded the team yet. They are all in Chang'an, and none of them is missing."

Xu Fenglei looked at Xue Rengui with complicated eyes.

Xue Rengui's heart skipped a beat, and he became a little at a loss.

Brother... are you angry?

Because I didn't clean up the tail?well……

I knew I shouldn't have this kindness...

"Rengui, you have grown up after all..."

Just when Xue Rengui was thinking wildly, Xu Fenglei got up and patted him on the shoulder, saying with emotion,

"A true general, a true wise man!"

"Your strategy is very good! Big Brother approves!"

"When His Majesty sees you, he will definitely find it like a treasure! Your boy... has a bright future!"
