I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 604 I have an old friend...

The Ministry of Punishment, the prison.

The cell is still dark, but fortunately, the design has been changed now, and the ventilation is not bad, at least it is not so humid.

creak.

The cell door was opened.

"I've met Duke Hou. I'm Yang Qi, the imperial physician who is working in this month's prison."

Yang Qi introduced himself to the criminal in front of him,
"Routine physical examination, please stretch out your hand."

The death row inmates in the sky prison have a chance to check their physical condition once a month.

In a sense, the life of these dog days is much more comfortable than that of ordinary people!
Ordinary people don't have the spare money to go to a doctor for check-ups all day long. Even if they get sick, they can bear it as long as they can, and often minor illnesses turn into serious illnesses.

But Yang Qi also knew that the reason why the criminals in the prison were able to receive such treatment was actually thanks to the person in front of them.

"it is good."

Hou Junji raised his head slightly, and handed over the chained hand.

Yang Qi rested his finger on Hou Junji's pulse, looking serious.

After a while.

"Hou Gong's pulse is steady and strong, and his body is quite strong."

Yang Qi said with a smile,
"The five viscera are harmonized, and there is no disease."

"Is there anything uncomfortable about you? You can tell me."

Hou Junji grinned.

"I feel uncomfortable, can it be cured?"

he asked.

Yang Qi frowned, looked left and right, and said in a low voice:

"Hou Gong."

"Tuyuhun attacked Liangzhou again, His Majesty was furious and decided to raise an army of [-], worship Li Jing as the chief commander of the army, and conquer the country of the Murong family!"

"Right now, food and supplies have started to be raised, and soldiers and horses have also started to be mobilized!"

"This battle must be the biggest battle in the Tang Dynasty after the war against the Turks!"

A flash of light flashed in Hou Jun's eyes.

"Conquer Tuyuhun! It would be great if I could go..."

He murmured in a low voice,

"Unfortunately, Xu Fenglei is still in court... Alas!"

Hou Junji understood.

As long as Xu Fenglei is in court for a day, he will have no chance to stand up!
The only thing that can be hoped for is that Xu Fenglei has a wild temper, angers the emperor with his words and actions, and is relegated by the emperor, so that he will have a chance!
But this chance, he also knows, is like a dream bubble, which cannot be obtained.

"The grand master is no longer in court, he has gone to Mount Jiuyi to repair the imperial mausoleum!"

Yang Qi lowered his voice again, and whispered to Hou Junji's ear.

Hou Junji: "!!!"

"what?!"

His heart twitched suddenly, and it was difficult to suppress the excitement in his heart, so that he lost his voice when he spoke.

"Say it clearly! What's going on!"

Without hesitation, Yang Qi briefly described the ins and outs of the matter.

"It has to come out, it's because there was a misunderstanding between His Majesty and the Grand Master, and now His Majesty regrets wanting to recall the Grand Master, but the Grand Master refuses to come back."

He said in a low voice,

"So, that's what created the current situation."

"Speaking of which, this Grand Master is really arrogant. Even the emperor backed down on his words and lowered his posture, but he still refused to step down this step."

"Being a courtier can do this, and it is the only one."

Click!

Hou Junji pinched the straw pole, his eyes were shining brightly!

"My chance has come, a once-in-a-lifetime chance has come!"

He was short of breath, tried his best to suppress his emotions, grabbed Yang Qi's hand, and begged,

"Physician Yang, Physician Yang!"

"I beg you to help me, I beg you to help me!"

"If I can stand up, I will definitely repay you a hundredfold!"

Yang Qi smiled helplessly.

"Hou Gong, we are also old acquaintances, so we don't need to be so polite."

he replied,
"As you know, I'm just an imperial doctor, and I can only do my best."

"What do you think, just say, I can help, but if I can't, don't blame me."

Hou Junji nodded repeatedly!
"That's nature, that's nature! I won't make things difficult for you!"

He said excitedly,
"Just two things!"

"One, go and get me a piece of cloth, and give me a big needle, thick enough!"

"Secondly, go and tell His Majesty that Hou Junji is going to die soon, and ask to see His Majesty for the last time!"

"You can do these two things, right?"

Yang Qi was taken aback.

Soon to die?

Isn't this alive and kicking!At least he can live another 20 years!

But he immediately reacted.

This Duke Hou, I'm afraid he is going to use bitter tricks against the emperor while the grand master is away!
But... can the bitter trick really work?
As he thought about it, Hou Junji thought he was hesitating, and hurriedly said:
"Please, please! Help me, just this once!"

"As long as His Majesty comes over, I'm sure to go out! At that time, the first thing I will do when I go out is to give you a mansion!"

"I still have some secret property in Chang'an, half of it will be shared with you!"

"I just ask for your help!"

"Please! Please!"

Bang bang bang!
While talking, Hou Junji actually knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Yang Qi!
"Oh, Lord Hou, this... this is impossible!"

He hurriedly helped Hou Junji up, and said repeatedly,

"I'll help, I'll just help you!"

"As for the mansion... Actually, it doesn't matter. The main thing is that we have known each other for so many years. Between friends, we must help!"

He said so, but Yang Qi's heart was speeding up.

Who would have thought that after hesitating for such a short while, he would be able to get a luxury house in exchange!
The house price in Chang'an is so expensive now!
Foreign officials who come to Chang'an to take office, unless they are rewarded by the emperor, basically rent a house!Can't afford it at all!

Not to mention a little imperial doctor like him, who has struggled for most of his life, and the whole family is still crowded in the old and poor.

It is really a dream to have a house in Chang'an!
"Don't worry, I will definitely give it to you, and I will give it to you when I go out!"

Hou Junji repeatedly promised,

"As long as you help me, we are brothers, closer than brothers!"

"When the time comes, I will turn over and make you the dean of the Supreme Hospital! Even if you want to transfer to another place in the imperial court, I will help!"

"You can go out and inquire about how I, Hou Junji, treat my brothers and my subordinates!"

Yang Qi took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart.

"Okay, I'll go tell His Majesty right now!"

He got up and said,

"I'm going to get the silver needle and white cloth now, and they'll be delivered right away."

"Hou Gong, I believe you can make a comeback!"

Hou Junji nodded heavily.

"Thanks, brother!"

He arched his hands towards Yang Qi, pursed his lips, and looked sincere.

Squeak!

The cell door opened, and Yang Qi walked out.

After a long while, the thick needle and white cloth were delivered.

Hou Junji stared at the thick needle and remained silent for a long time until fierceness appeared in his eyes.

"Fight!"

He gritted his teeth and let out a low cry, and stuck the needle into his arm!
Tick, tick.

The blood flowed down the arm to the elbow, but Hou Junji's expression was wrong, and he touched the blood with his right index finger, and then stroked towards the white cloth!

old days.

Qi Wang Li Yuanji used this trick to win the sympathy of the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, and was finally released.

Now, he imitated King Qi, and he could still succeed!
……

Taiji Palace, in the study room.

Li Shimin looked at the sand table in front of him and pondered for a long time.

Fang Xuanling at the side was at his desk, drafting an imperial decree.

"Worship Li Jing as the general manager of the Xikaidao march, add the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, and lead the army."

Li Shimin said,

"Confess Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, as the general manager of the Shanshan Road march; Feng Li Daliang, the governor of Liangzhou, as the general manager of the Qiemo Road march; Qibi Heli, Zhishisili and other Hu people led the Turkic army and sent a total of [-] troops to attack Tuyuhun!"

Swish swish!
Fang Xuanling quickly wrote down the will.

After all, Li Er is the emperor on horseback, a man who knows how to fight, and a simple and clear edict has already arranged the [-] troops in an orderly manner!

"Your Majesty, it has been prepared."

Fang Xuanling glanced at the imperial decree, and after confirming that it was correct, he raised his head and said,

"Do you want to distribute it now, so that the generals can receive the military talisman?"

Li Shimin heard the words, but did not respond, still staring at the sand table in silence.

"There is one more."

He pointed to a curve on the sand table and said,
"There is still a long way to go."

"Jishi Road Marching Chief, who should be sealed?"

"Let me think about it..."

Several figures flashed in Li Shimin's mind.

Yuchi Gong?
Cheng Zhijie?
Niu Jinda?
Li Ji?

Or send the clan king?

Considering the past one by one, he hesitated.

It seems to be okay, but it doesn't feel so appropriate.

You have to choose someone who can play well with Li Jing. Whether it is Yu Chigong or Cheng Zhijie, they are not too compatible with Li Jing. These two rely on their own merits. If they fight in a place like the grassland, they may get carried away after rushing. There could be mistakes.

Looking at it this way, there is no need to choose people in the clan.

Li Ji is good, but he has a lot of experience and credit, so he can't just serve Li Jing as a side dish.

From this point of view, Niu Jinda seems to be the best candidate.

"Feng Niu Jinda is the head of the Jishi Road Marching Army."

Li Shimin gave the last order, and his eyes had already moved away from the sand table.

He looked at Fang Xuanling and said in a deep voice:
"After the decree is issued, all military affairs will be handed over to Li Jing!"

"I won't ask any more questions, and let him arrange everything by himself. After all, I also gave him the Minister of War."

"Of course, I will still take care of the food and grass and the distribution of military pay, so let him feel at ease to fight!"

Li Er has excellent military ability, but he has never been a person who likes micromanagement.

Now that the chief executive has been appointed, let him play freely!
"Yes."

"My minister retire."

Fang Xuanling added a stroke, wrote the imperial decree, and immediately turned and left.

But in the middle of the walk, he suddenly turned his head around and said tentatively:
"Your Majesty."

"Why hasn't there been any news from the grand master recently? Has he not returned to Chang'an yet?"

It has been a few days since Xu Fenglei left Chang'an, and now he is worshiping the general to fight the war.

It stands to reason that even if he walks back, the Grand Master should return to Chang'an by now...

"I sent someone to ask him to come back, but he didn't want to come back."

Li Shimin was a little upset when he mentioned this, and said coldly,

"He's putting on airs with me!"

"Since you don't want to come back, then don't come back! It's not that I can't do without him, and it's not that Tang can't do without him!"

"Look these days, without him, everything is still in order? With him or without him, it's the same!"

Fang Xuanling couldn't help being astonished when he heard this.

"This……"

"That's still a bit different, Grand Master..."

He couldn't help but want to persuade, but was swept over by Li Shimin's eyes.

"Don't mention him anymore! Anyway, I have already given you the steps, if he is willing to come back, he will naturally come back! If he doesn't want to, I can't tie him back! It's as if I value him so much!"

Li Shimin said displeasedly,

"From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality is difficult."

"He is used to the luxurious life in Chang'an, how can he stand the harsh environment in Jiuyi Mountain? There is not even a foot-washing maid to serve him!"

"Look, it won't be long before he can't stand it and come back... Try to be brave with me, hmph!"

Fang Xuanling: "..."

Listening to these words, why do you feel that the emperor's tone has an indescribably awkward feeling?
"Go! Just do your own thing!"

Li Shimin shouted,

"The most important thing for Datang now is the war against Tuyuhun!"

"This time, I will definitely kill Murong Fuyun! After I catch him, if I don't beat his shit out, I'll count him as clean!"

As Li Er talked, he started swearing!
It can be seen how irritating Murong Fuyun is, a dog who jumps up and down repeatedly!
"Yes, I retire."

Fang Xuanling said no more, turned and left.

At the moment, he is not too worried about Xu Fenglei... As long as His Majesty is not relegated, as long as the initiative is in the hands of the Grand Master, then it doesn't matter.

Da da.

Watching Fang Xuanling leave, Li Shimin walked back to the desk and took out a letter from under the chopping board.

"Ugh!"

He opened it, frowned again, and bit the pen.

"How can I write this letter of apology to be sincere?"

"It's a waste of brains, a waste of brains!"

"Come on! Go and call Changsun Wuji to me!"

Li Shimin lit a cigarette and smoked half of it, but still had no clue.

So I decided to call a foreign aid to help with the staff.

And this foreign aid can only be Changsun Wuji, because the relationship between the two parties is closer and they can talk more.

Of course, just 'more', must not tell the whole story!
Ok……

……

"See Your Majesty."

Changsun Wuji cupped his hands in salute.

"Auxiliary machine, I have a... er, old friend."

Li Shimin flicked the cigarette ash, coughed dryly, and said,
"This old friend had a misunderstanding with his friend. The relationship between the two parties is not very good now, and it is a bit stalemate."

"This old friend of mine wants to break the deadlock and wants to write an apology letter himself, but he doesn't know where to start and what to say in it to impress his friend."

"So he found me, but I don't have a clue, I'm not good at this... You've always had a quick mind and a way, so I want you to help me think about it."

"If it were you, how would you write it?"

When Changsun Wuji heard this, he couldn't hold back immediately.

He really wanted to say...Your Majesty, is this old friend you are talking about yourself?
