I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

When Xue Rengui heard this, the uneasiness in his heart disappeared immediately!

"Brother...do you think I did the right thing?!"

he asked a little excitedly.

Xu Fenglei nodded firmly.

"It's right, it's perfect, there's nothing wrong with it."

He applauded,

"It's immoral to kill a donkey. It's not a last resort, so naturally don't do it."

"You didn't let them know at the beginning, and the follow-up strategy was also very good, preventing them from being exposed."

"Brother is very relieved! Who would have thought that a poor man who was picked up at the beginning can now be alone."

"Rengui, congratulations, you have graduated!"

Xue Rengui: "!!!"

Pfft!
He knelt directly in front of Xu Fenglei, with tears in his eyes!
"Big brother!"

Xue Rengui choked up and said,

"If it weren't for your support, Rengui would never be where he is today!"

"You have given me the grace of reinvention! My fate is good... I have really met a noble man!"

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Before he finished speaking, he had already kowtowed three times to Xu Fenglei!
Be solid!

"Okay, okay, get up."

Xu Fenglei lifted him up and said with a smile,

"It's also you who can seize the opportunity by yourself, it's a piece of rough jade."

"I don't waste my time with ordinary people."

"Wipe your tears, men have gold under their knees, don't kneel down indiscriminately, understand?"

Xue Rengui stood up slowly, wiped away his tears, but suddenly laughed.

"Speaking of gold, the younger brother has prepared a gift for the elder brother."

he said,

"I hope my brother will like it."

"Miss Zi'er, let them bring it in!"

The purple maidservant at the side left in response, and after a while, several big men carried several boxes into the courtyard.

"what?"

Xu Fenglei said in surprise,
"Did you bring me a present?"

The corners of Xue Rengui's mouth rose slightly, a little smug.

"Brother, please open it, you will know when you open it."

He sold off.

Xu Fenglei also laughed.

"Okay, okay...then let me see what good things you brought me!"

"It must be something that can make you so proud!"

This brat, the corners of his mouth are almost behind his ears!

What kind of gift can make him feel so proud...

With curiosity, Xu Fenglei gently opened the box,

pat!

Swish!
The moment the box was opened, a dazzling golden light emerged!

At a glance... it's full of yellow gold bars!
"This, gold?!"

Xu Fenglei said in astonishment,

"so much?"

pat!

pat!

The remaining large boxes were all opened, and inside... it was all gold!

At this moment, Xu Fenglei was surrounded by gold!

Even the air is filled with the smell of gold, that is the wonderful smell of wealth!
The Purple Maid also widened her eyes, showing disbelief.

The last time I saw so much gold was the last time!

Hmm...the time His Majesty and Empress sent gold and silver to invest in Fenglei Bank...

"Rengui... have you found a gold mine?!"

Xu Fenglei said in astonishment,

"How much...how much?"

Xue Rengui made a gesture.

"No more, no less, exactly 8000 taels of gold!"

He said hesitantly,

"Brother, these 8000 taels of gold are all my little brother's filial piety to you, please accept it with a smile!"

Xu Fenglei: "!!!"

He has seen money, seen a lot of money, and has a lot of money.

To be honest, with his current net worth, let alone 8000 taels of gold, even [-], he might not even blink.

But this was obtained by Xue Rengui, and it was for him...the significance is extraordinary!

"Stinky boy... he's promising!"

He patted Xue Rengui's shoulder abruptly, and said,
"How did you get it! Tell me!"

Hearing this, Xue Rengui explained in detail how he met the old man in Tuyuhun.

When he said it just now, he deliberately concealed part of it, just to surprise the eldest brother at this moment!
And this surprise, for Xu Fenglei...

It was indeed a surprise and a joy!
Not just about money!
"That old man is probably from Tubo! Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to spend so much money in one go!"

Xu Fenglei quickly analyzed,

"He should be the opposition force in Tubo, the faction that opposes Songtsen Gampo!"

"That's... now the Tubo Zanpu faction! Once Songtsan Gampo dies, they can take over!"

Xue Rengui nodded repeatedly.

"I think so too."

he said,

"Songtsan Gampo pretended to be a businessman and passed through Tuyuhun. No one knew his whereabouts, only the Tubo people knew!"

"Only the Tubo people will make such a capital!"

"Brother, I think the 1 taels of gold is worth it! Because I was going to kill Songtsan Gampo! With his reward, I can not only get the reward, but also get the news of Songtsan Gampo from the information he provided, and then strike accurately!"

"This trip can be said to be full of rewards!"

Xu Fenglei nodded approvingly.

"Yes, it is indeed full of harvest!"

He laughed and said,
"Now the interior of Tubo is in chaos. There are two rows of people fighting fiercely, and there is a faint stance of splitting!"

"Your information can make the already chaotic Tubo even more chaotic! The Tubo people assassinated their Zanpu, hehe, hehehe..."

"This is wonderful!"

Stepping through the iron shoes, there is nowhere to find it, and it takes no effort to get it!
Xue Rengui's trip was enough to plunge Tubo into civil strife and division for decades, and even split into several countries directly!

This is naturally what he would like to see the most.

"Brother, all these golds are given to you."

Xue Rengui reminded,

"You can use it however you want! It can be regarded as my younger brother's little repayment for your kindness over the years."

Xu Fenglei rolled his eyes.

"Don't make trouble, what do I want your money for?"

He said displeased,

"My eldest brother naturally received your wish, and my eldest brother is also very happy. When you have property, you immediately thought of giving it to me."

"But elder brother doesn't want this money, your elder brother and I are rich, not short of this, you know?"

Xue Rengui became anxious when he heard this!

"Brother! You can't do it! Do you think it's too little? If you think it's too little...I, I'll earn it!"

When he got excited, his eyes turned red.

This is his intention!
If the elder brother doesn't accept it, he will never feel at ease!

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xu Fenglei patted him on the shoulder and said helplessly,

"Such a lot of money is enough for a family to last for several lifetimes. No matter how rich I am, I will never feel too little."

"I just think that you yourself need the money more."

"You earned it with your hard work. What does it have to do with me? What's yours is yours. Think about your mother, think about your future...they all need financial support!"

"You gave me all the money at once, okay, can I continue to support you in the future?"

Xue Rengui: "..."

He scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

Eldest brother is right, he didn't keep a cent, and after giving it away, he was a pauper, and had to rely on elder brother to support him...

"Then I... I'll keep 100 taels for myself, and give the rest to my brother."

Xue Rengui thought for a while and said,

"100 taels is enough for me to eat and drink, and my mother can also improve."

100 taels of gold equals a thousand taels of silver!
Enough for a family to live a well-off life for a lifetime!
"It's enough to eat and drink, but what about where you live?"

Xu Fenglei said with a half-smile,
"Are you going to depend on me for the rest of your life? You can't buy a house?"

"The house price in Chang'an is so expensive, is 100 taels of gold enough to buy a toilet in a prime location?"

Xue Rengui: "..."

This question once again made him fall into embarrassment.

It seems... It's really not suitable for me to stay at my eldest brother's house all the time.

"Also, when you start a family and start a business in the future, you have to marry a daughter-in-law? Do you have to set up a family business?"

Xu Fenglei laughed,
"If you have requirements for the quality of life, you have to follow my standards. You know how much my family spends for a year."

"I don't have money, can I do it?"

Xue Rengui's face began to turn bitter.

"Then I... I'll make money slowly." He replied weakly.

"Earn money slowly? Just rely on the imperial court's salary, when will you be able to live my life?"

Xu Fenglei snorted softly,

"A horse has no night grass and is not fat! This time, you just got a piece of fat night grass!"

"Listen to brother, you keep this money for yourself! This is the capital for your future life, do you hear me?"

"Brother can at most draw a few taels of silver from it and buy a pot of wine to drink, that's enough!"

Xue Rengui was moved in his heart.

"Brother...you are so kind to me."

His tiger eyes were moist, and he said earnestly,

"I... I really don't know how to repay you!"

"This little money is really just a little brother's kindness. Compared with the kindness of the big brother, it is really a drop in the bucket, not worth mentioning!"

"You, why don't you take it away! It's useless for me to keep it in my hand for the time being!"

Xu Fenglei pondered for a moment.

"With so much money, you really won't need it for a while."

he said,

"How about this! I'll help you open an account in the bank and put it in to earn interest!"

"Then, I will help you find a good property in Chang'an. Qianzhuang has several real estate projects under development, and I will reserve a good one for you."

"Others, if you have any needs, big brother can help you! Just say it!"

Xue Rengui: "..."

"This... is obviously my younger brother repaying you, so why did you come to help my younger brother again?"

He smiled wryly,

"This kindness is getting thicker and thicker, it is really not over..."

Snapped!
Xu Fenglei slapped Xue Rengui on the head.

"Who told you to pay it back? What are you talking about?"

he hummed,
"It's only natural for an older brother to help a younger brother!"

"If you want to repay me, then do something to prove that I am not mistaken! This is enough!"

Xue Rengui looked serious.

"Brother, don't worry!"

He said seriously,

"Little brother must live up to your expectations, big brother!"

Xu Fenglei nodded.

"Small trial, the record is outstanding, I believe that the next generation of military god of the Tang Dynasty will be you!"

"Have a good night's rest today, and come to the palace with me tomorrow to meet His Majesty!"

"I reckon, with your achievements, His Majesty will never treat you badly, just wait for the reward!"

Xue Rengui's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He hasn't seen His Majesty yet!

What kind of reward will I... get?
……

the next morning.

Tai Chi Palace, go to the study room.

Listening to Xu Fenglei's narration, Li Shimin's eyes shone brightly.

"Okay, okay... I didn't expect there to be unexpected gains."

He rubbed his hands together and smiled,

"There is news from Tubo."

"Zanpu, who is in charge now, is Zangbo, who belongs to the same faction as the high priest of the Bon religion in Tubo, and belongs to the old forces and old nobles."

"The ones fighting with them are Songtsan Gampo's uncle Gadan Gampo, and the new noble faction promoted by Songtsan Gampo himself."

"For now, Zangbo's faction has a greater advantage. After all, he is already the nominal Zanpu of Tubo, and has the support of local religions; however, Nagadan Gampo is a warrior. He fought very well. Although he is at a disadvantage, he is still fighting tenaciously."

"It's unknown how the outcome will be."

Xu Fenglei nodded slightly.

He was not surprised at all.

"Generally speaking, the old school is stronger and has a deeper foundation."

Xu Fenglei analyzed,

"Coupled with religious support, those who are neutral will also favor them, so I think that in the end, it should be the Xinzanpu Zangbo faction that will win."

"But now... we have this information in our hands, and we may be able to turn the situation around."

"If the Tibetans know that their beloved Songtsan Gampo was killed by the current Zanpu and the high priest, they will definitely be angry!"

"At that time, Zangbo and the high priest of Tubo will become the target of public criticism! The situation will definitely change!"

Li Shimin laughed.

"Yes."

he said,

"We're holding this information in our hands, so we won't release it yet!"

"Wait until the faction of Gadan Gampo dies, and then send it out, so that the situation in Tubo can be reversed! Let them continue to be evenly matched, and continue to consume each other!"

"When the time is right, we can secretly support both parties. Anyway... just level the scale!"

"In this way, it is inevitable that Tubo will be divided into several countries after being in chaos for hundreds of years!"

Xu Fenglei laughed.

"In a word, whether Tubo is in chaos or not, the Tang Dynasty has the final say!"

"Right?"

"Hahahaha..." Both of them laughed, and the atmosphere in the study room was very happy.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is like a shit stirrer.

A certain great empire in later generations that never sets is very good at making this stick.

I have to say, stirring shit is quite cool, provided the stick is not dirty...

"Okay! Let's stop talking about Tubo, your cheap brother... is called Xue Rengui, right?"

Li Shimin said with a smile,

"This kid is really good, he actually overfulfilled the task!"

"It seems that he is indeed a general! Tell him to come in! I want to take a good look at this kid!"

Xu Fenglei nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, I'll call him now."

He said towards the door,
"Xuan Xue Rengui, let's see you!"

Word was sent outside the door that the eunuch got an order to bring in Xue Rengui who had been waiting outside for a long time.

"Grassman Xue Rengui..."

"See Your Majesty!"

Xue Rengui bowed and saluted very cautiously, not daring to breathe.

Nervous!
