I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 381 Worship Prince Xu Fenglei as handsome? !What are you kidding? !Big upset!
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was a little tense.

Can you be nervous?
Everyone paid real money!

At this moment, everyone was staring at Li Shimin intently, waiting for him to announce the candidate.

"call--"

Xiao Yu's breathing was a little short.

"Don't panic, Li Jing will be in command."

Changsun Wuji pushed his elbow and whispered,

"You just wait for the next court to find Cheng Yaojin to get the money!"

His gaze turned to Li Jing, who was ranked first in the ranks of generals, with a look of confidence in his eyes.

Look at the demeanor and posture of Li Jing.

Who else!
"Be a surprise, be a surprise..."

Cheng Yaojin clutched the booklet in his arms and prayed in a low voice.

"Ok?"

Li Shimin also seemed to feel that the atmosphere was a bit unusual.

The expressions of the ministers... they all seem to be constipated, and they can't let go!
But he didn't think too much, and immediately announced:
"So, I want to choose someone to go to war on my behalf, and I will be appointed as the general of the auxiliary country and lead the position of the chief of the army!"

As soon as this remark came out, the officials were astonished.

General Fuguo is a second-rank official rank, second only to the unique Tiance General and Cong First-rank Hussar General among the ranks of military officials!

This is not a big deal.

The main thing is the four words "on behalf of me", which is very unusual!
If Li Jing, Li Ji and other famous generals were chosen, the emperor would never be able to say such things with a shy face, because it would be suspected of sharing credit with the generals.

Cheng Yaojin: "!!!"

A look of surprise flashed across his eyes.

If the real-time odds can be adjusted, the odds of Li Jing, Li Ji and others will be greatly increased at this moment, because with just these four words, their chances of being in command will be greatly reduced!
Heaven heard his prayer?
The chance of upset really came? !

"Since last year, I have been thinking about suitable candidates."

Li Shimin stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice,

"This person must not only have a military strategy and a vision of the overall situation, but most importantly, he must also have virtue and great wisdom!"

"Because this is not just a simple war. What I want is not just to defeat the Turks, nor even to destroy them. What I want is to really fight in this vast world!"

"What I want is to use this battle to truly confirm the prestige of the Great Tang Dynasty as a kingdom, so that the barbarians will be convinced, and all nations will come to court!"

The emperor's words resounded loudly.

The apprehension in the hearts of the ministers is also growing.

Between them, they could even hear each other's violent heartbeats!

"Therefore, I chose a person who you would never have imagined, and who you might strongly oppose, to take up this position."

After Li Shimin finished laying the groundwork, he didn't babble any more, but said straightforwardly,

"The handsome man I want to worship is the prince and grand master, Xu Fenglei!"

"Xu Aiqing, accept the order!"

Xu Fenglei's eyes were dull: "Huh?"

The ministers: "!!!"

Xu!wind!thunder? !

How could it be him?Why is it him? !
Isn't this a joke!
For a moment, the hall was silent like death, and the expressions on the faces of the ministers were extremely wonderful!

"This, this..."

Changsun Wuji's eyes were dull, and he murmured,

"This is impossible, this is impossible..."

"Your Majesty read it wrong? This... Your Majesty must be joking..."

He can't accept it, he can't accept it!
Why not Li Jing?
At this moment, Changsun Wuji wanted to die.

5000 taels of silver!A total of 5000 taels of snowflake silver!Is it just for naught?

Boil!
At the same time, in the hearts of all the ministers: "Zhuo, Zhuo, Zhuo!!!"

Ten thousand grass and mud horses galloped past in my heart, that young heart was so cool, so cool, so cool...

my money!
"Uh……"

Xiao Yu's eyeballs stared, a white eye rolled out, and the whole person fell backwards.

"Old Xiao Ge!"

"Oh, Mr. Ge, what's wrong with you, Mr. Ge? Hold on tight!"

"Quickly pass on the imperial physician, the old man is down!"

"..."

Fortunately, several ministers behind him caught his body.

Changsun Wuji came back to his senses, hurriedly grabbed Xiao Yu's sleeve, and said with some guilt:

"Old Xiaoge...you, are you okay?"

"I, I really didn't expect this, this, this..."

Xiao Yu stared again.

"Auxiliary machine... missed me!"

"Uh!"

After uttering four words, Xiao Yu rolled his eyes again and passed out completely!

"Ge Lao, Ge Lao!"

"Xiao Xianggong, isn't it just 5000 taels of silver, there is no need for this, it is really unnecessary..."

"..."

Several ministers beside him sighed.

The rest of the ministers also showed sighs.

Among them, quite a few lost their bets, but seeing Xiao Yu's appearance, they felt a little relieved.

Although there was blood, but compared with Xiao Yu...it seemed not so hurt.

"What, what's wrong?"

Li Shimin was shocked by this situation, hurried down the jade steps, walked up to Xiao Yu, and said,

"What stimulated Xiao Aiqing?"

"Come on, send the imperial physician!"

"It should be a moment of urgency, the minister's fingernails are long, Rong Chen pinched Xiao Ge's ditch." Ma Zhou took the initiative to step forward, and stabbed his slender nails hard into Xiao Yu's man.

click!
"Ouch!"

Xiao Yu suddenly opened his eyes, cried out in pain, and struggled to straighten up.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"

Seeing Li Shimin standing in front of him, he was shocked again and hurriedly saluted.

"No gift, no gift."

Seeing him alive and kicking, Li Shimin felt relieved, frowned and said,

"Xiao Yu, I remember that you have been in good health, why did you faint today?"

"Could it be that you have an opinion on my general selection? If you have an opinion, you can raise it...don't hurt yourself."

Xiao Yu: "..."

"Uh... I have nothing to do with you, I have nothing to do with you..." He bowed his head guiltily, unable to speak.

Li Shimin frowned more and more.

The majestic gaze slowly swept around.

"I felt something was wrong just now, all of you are not right!"

He said coldly,

"what happened?"

"Ma Zhou, tell me!"

After being called by the emperor, Ma Zhou had no choice but to stand out, bowed his hands and said:
"Returning to Your Majesty, the officials lost their composure because they made a bet before going to court."

"General Cheng Yaojin made a bet on which general will be worshiped as the commander in chief to conquer the Turks. Minister of the Ministry of War Li Jing and Cao Guogong Li Ji are both popular candidates. The odds are [-] to [-] and [-] to [-]."

"Under the persuasion of the grandson, Elder Xiao Ge bet Li Jing 5000 taels, and then..."

After that, there is no need to talk about it.

Xu Fenglei was upset, and Xiao Yu lost Xiang.

Li Shimin's face darkened all of a sudden.

He stared at Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu's head lowered even more, with an extremely ashamed expression.

He looked at Changsun Wuji again, and Changsun Wuji also smiled embarrassingly, bowing his head with a guilty conscience.

Instead, he looked at Cheng Yaojin.

A coercion suddenly descended on him.

"Hey Hey……"

Cheng Yaojin scratched his head and said with an awkward smile,
"Your Majesty, I'm just playing around with them..."

"This gamble doesn't count, it doesn't count at all! The minister tore up the booklet later..."

Li Shimin stretched out his hand expressionlessly.

"Let me take a look."

he ordered.

Cheng Yaojin didn't dare to neglect in the slightest, and handed over the account book to the emperor in a hurry.

Turn over a page at random, with the name of the person written crookedly on it, followed by the odds.

"Li Jing, Li Ji, Zhang Gongjin."

"Li Xiaogong, Cheng Yaojin, Hou Junji..."

"Hehe, it looks like that!"

Li Shimin said with a half smile,

"Zhijie, am I being too lenient to you?"

"Do you know what kind of place this is?"

boom!
In the next moment, Li Er has changed from a smiling face to a terrifying face.

The account book fell on Cheng Yaojin's head.

"My Taiji Palace, Liangyi Palace, you have turned it into a casino!"

Li Shimin scolded,

"The civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty have been developed into gamblers by you!"

"Do you feel very honored and proud? Huh?"

Pfft!
Cheng Yaojin didn't dare to laugh any more, and knelt down on the ground on one knee.
"Your Majesty, the subject is convicted!"

He said ashamedly,

"Your Majesty please punish!"

wow.

Li Shimin flicked his sleeves and looked at the ministers.

"And you, what do you think this is?"

he said angrily,

"If news of today's incident gets out, the entire imperial court will be reduced to a laughing stock! The majesty of the country has been exhausted by you bunch of gamblers!"

"It's absurd, extremely absurd!"

The emperor went mad, and the officials were terrified.

Plop, plop, a large piece fell to his knees.

"The minister waits to be convicted!"

"Your Majesty please punish!"

All the ministers bowed down one after another.

Of course, they have also realized at this moment how humiliating their behavior is.

Li Shimin took a deep breath.

"Among you, who has never gambled? Don't kneel, let me see."

He calmed down his anger and commanded,

"Look at how many upright gentlemen there are in this imperial court."

Swish.

Li Jing, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and several other important officials stood up.

None of them had ever been involved in gambling.

Xu Fenglei, on the other hand, stood there without kneeling.

He hasn't recovered yet.

Why... why is he the one in command?ah?
Li Shimin nodded slightly.

"Finally, there are still a few gentlemen from the Zhu Kingdom by my side."

He read a sentence, turned to look at the kneeling majority, and said lightly,
"Although the statement does not blame the public, this matter, you have done too absurdly!"

"Since you can gamble, it means that you are not short of money. Since you are not short of money, I don't think the imperial court should give you salaries."

"In that case, all the fines will be fined for one year!"

"As for the instigator Cheng Zhijie, the gambling equipment and bets will be confiscated and punished as a criminal!"

When the officials heard this punishment, although they felt uncomfortable, they did not dare to have the slightest objection.

This is their fault.

Even if the emperor strikes hard, he can only accept it forcefully. If you want to blame it, blame Cheng Yaojin, an old bastard!
But the old thing is obviously worse now...

"Come on."

Li Shimin beckoned,

"Put Cheng Zhi under control."

dong dong!

Two guards rushed into the hall, each with one arm, and pinned Cheng Yaojin to the ground.

"Your Majesty, the minister is convicted, the minister is convicted!"

Cheng Yaojin saw that the emperor was serious, his little face turned pale, and he said in panic,

"I'm just making a joke with my colleagues, just making a joke, you can't count it, Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin snorted coldly.

"Are you kidding me? Do you think I'm a fool?"

Holding the booklet in his right hand, he said,

"Don't you like to be a banker and open a gamble? Well, I will let you have a good time."

"Everything in this gambling book counts and cannot be discarded!"

"Cheng Yaojin obeys!"

"The guilty minister bowed his head and obeyed orders." Cheng Yaojin said tremblingly.

"You have a lot of bets here, some bet on the coach, bet on who will go with the army, hehe..."

Li Shimin sneered,

"I will appoint various generals in charge later."

"From tomorrow onwards, follow the bets in this gambling book, and go door to door to ask for gambling money as a crime!"

"I will put all the stolen money into the military pay!"

Cheng Yaojin nodded repeatedly.

"Yes Yes!"

He nodded like a pounding garlic, and said,
"The guilty minister takes the order, the guilty minister takes the order to thank you!"

In the current situation, he doesn't need any money, as long as he doesn't go to jail, he will be thankful...

"My dear friends, you are all rich."

Li Shimin smiled with his hands behind his back,

"In the future, we can do more things like this. When the time comes, your money can be used for military pay or disaster relief."

"If this is the case, it can be regarded as your merit."

"Get up."

All the ministers looked at me and I looked at you, all of them hesitated to get up.

"Get up!"

Li Shimin raised his hand again and said,

"From a certain point of view, I still want to thank you."

"With your support, the frontline soldiers will have a little more protection, and the Tang Dynasty will have a little more chance of winning the victory over the Turks."

Although he was smiling and praising.

But the ministers were not feeling well.

The emperor is an old onmyoji, and this wave of yin and yang weirdness is top notch.

Coupled with the loss of gambling, and the loss of future salary...

Hey, it's uncomfortable... Let's not talk about it!

"His Majesty."

At this moment, Xu Fenglei suddenly came out and said,
"Regarding His Majesty's request for the minister to go out in command, the minister believes that the minister does not have the ability."

"So, can I refuse?"

Li Shimin frowned.

"Why, Grand Master."

He said with a half-smile,
"My imperial decree has been drawn up, do you want to resist the decree?"

Xu Fenglei shook his head.

"The important affairs of the country are the sacrifices and the army. If your Majesty entrusts the sacrifices to the ministers, the ministers may still be able to handle them, but the military and the country must not choose commanders at will."

He said with a puzzled face,
"I really don't know what your majesty's considerations are when you decide to let me take command of the expedition."

"Your Majesty may be whimsical, but I still have a bit of self-knowledge when I ask myself. I am really not good at military affairs! As the saying goes, a general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies. If I lead the three armies, I will definitely harm the three armies!"

"The conquest of Turks is the biggest war since the founding of this dynasty. Please don't play tricks, Your Majesty! Don't be ridiculous! This is irresponsible to the Tang army, and it is also irresponsible to the people of the world!"

This is almost like pointing at Li Shimin's nose and scolding - is your mother's brain broken?
what?
Leaving famous generals like Li Jing and Li Ji unused, let me be in command?
This is not the level where the head is kicked by the donkey, this is already the level where the donkey is desperately having fun on Li Er's head!
"Ha ha……"

Li Shimin nodded and smiled,
"Xu Aiqing, don't belittle yourself, just belittle yourself!"

Xu Fenglei: "..."

"I'm not demeaning myself, I'm just telling the truth."

He replied speechlessly,

"I don't think there is any shame in this. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. No one in the world can do everything."

"I ask myself that I can do all my duties well, but I really can't do military affairs. I don't have the talent and brains in this area. Please choose another good general!"

"If Your Majesty really can't think of a candidate, I think Li Jing is very suitable."
