I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 605 I wish to die on the battlefield, and return with a corpse wrapped in horse leather!

Of course, Changsun Wuji is not an idiot.

Since the emperor wants to cover up, don't expose him.

Otherwise, if he becomes angry from embarrassment, he will not discuss with himself again when encountering such things in the future.

"Cough...back to Your Majesty."

Changsun Wuji said seriously,
"I think that if this old friend of yours wants to save his friend, he must be sincere enough."

"Sincerity is always the most useful."

Li Shimin nodded again and again.

"Zhen... Well, my old friend still sincerely wants to restore this friendship."

"You...you continue talking."

The corners of Changsun Wuji's mouth rose slightly.

Our Majesty just can't let go of the emperor's airs.

However, it's also quite interesting.

"This old friend of yours, you can write in the letter some things that the two of you have experienced together, recalling the glorious years in the past."

he said,

"Men! Think about the friendship in the past, think about the things you have experienced together, you will definitely be touched!"

"Wait until the other party is touched, and then make a sincere apology and beg for forgiveness. That minister thinks, it should be twice the result with half the effort."

Li Shimin frowned.

"Wonderful!"

"You're right! Recall the past first, mobilize his emotions, and let him move!"

"As long as you are moved, it will be easy to handle later!"

"Okay, auxiliary machine, auxiliary machine, you still have a way! Hahaha..."

Li Er thought about it, couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing, and he was full of praise for Changsun Wuji.

"Your Majesty is wrong."

Changsun Wuji said with a smile,
"I believe that your old friend will be able to restore this friendship."

Li Shimin looked at him.

He also looked at Li Shimin.

The eyes of the two met.

"cough……"

Li Er rubbed his hands in embarrassment, took out the cigarette case from his arms, and said,
"Do you smoke?"

Changsun Wuji shook his head.

"I don't smoke. Once you become addicted to this thing, you can't quit it."

He said seriously,

"The medical school published a report on the top ten hazards of smoking! It was made into a brochure and spread all over the world. Now everyone in Chang'an knows that smoking shortens life span and causes various diseases!"

"I see that there are far fewer people smoking on the street."

"Your Majesty, in order to protect the dragon's body, you should also smoke less."

Li Shimin frowned slightly.

"Ten hazards? Are there so many?"

He took out the cigarette, but this time he didn't light it right away.

"tell me the story."

Changsun Wuji thought for a while and said:

"The minister only remembers a few."

"First, smoking reduces life expectancy. People who smoke for a long time will live five to ten years less than the average person."

"Secondly, smoking can damage the liver and lungs and induce visceral diseases."

"Thirdly, smoking will affect that aspect of a man's function, and it will be inhumane if it is serious."

"Fourth, smoking will slow down the flow of blood, making it easier to break out heart, brain and blood vessel diseases."

"Fifth..."

He wanted to add that Li Shimin waved his hands again and again.

"Okay, okay, don't say any more..."

"This is scary... I smoked a cigarette to suppress my shock..."

Li Er's fingers trembled slightly, and he lit the cigarette.

Changsun Wuji; "?"

Co-authored and talked for a long time, you are too oily and salty!

"This publicity... is really in place! Will it affect the tobacco tax?"

Li Shimin took a sip, his face returned to normal, and he said worriedly,

"Everyone doesn't smoke anymore, isn't the tobacco tax urgent?"

"Without the tobacco tax, where will my military expenses come from? Are you going to ask that girl again?"

He had said bold words before, don't ask Li Qingquan for money!
But if the cigarette tax is not enough, then you have to ask your daughter.

"That's not true. The tobacco tax is still increasing."

Changsun Wuji replied,
"Although the propaganda of the medical school is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, tobacco is now sweeping the Tang Dynasty with alarming speed!"

"The tobacco tax received by His Majesty before was only for Chang'an and the surrounding cities, and it has not been spread in other places."

"Tobacco shops are now set up in every province. Although a small number of people choose to quit smoking, in fact, more people have joined the smoking queue, and this team is still growing."

"So, the tobacco tax will inevitably increase in the future, and it will not be lowered for at least five to ten years. Your Majesty can rest assured on this point!"

Suddenly, Li Shimin put his heart back in his stomach.

"It used to be said that wine is a thing to relieve sorrow, but now it seems that this smoke is the real thing to relieve sorrow."

He let out a foul breath and sighed softly,
"As long as there are unsatisfactory people and unsatisfactory things in this world."

"Then it won't be cut off..."

pat.

Li Er flicked the cigarette ash, and suddenly said seriously:
"However, we still need to do a good job of publicity. The School of Medicine's 'Ten Hazards of Cigarettes' must also be spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, so that the world knows the dangers of smoking!"

"Especially for teenagers and children, smoking is absolutely prohibited! And proper guidance must be given."

"The imperial court needs tobacco tax for smokers, but I don't want the people of Datang to become smokers!"

"This matter, you have to implement it."

"Follow the order." Changsun Wuji cupped his hands slightly.

Li Shimin nodded slightly, and took another sip.

"I can't help it..."

He exhaled smoke rings, raised his eyebrows and said,
"If one day, I don't need to be this emperor, I can also be a Supreme Emperor just like my father, without any worries."

"Then I will quit."

Changsun Wuji pouted.

Believe in you!

The Supreme Emperor is not troubled, isn't he smoking every day?Especially when playing cards, the room is like a fairyland!

As for your majesty's addiction to smoking, it will definitely become more serious when you get old!
However, he could not persuade the emperor.

The empress lay there motionless, and the sorrow and boredom in the emperor's heart were beyond comprehension.

Perhaps he can only obtain short-term relief through the smell of cigarettes...

At this moment, a notification sound came:
"His Majesty."

"Imperial Physician Yang Qi asks to see you."

Li Shimin was a little puzzled, and threw the cigarette butt into the sink, saying:

"Yang Qi?"

"Which imperial doctor is this? What is he doing here? I'm not sick."

The valet replied:
"He said that during a routine inspection in the sky prison today, he found that Hou Junji was dying, so he rushed to report."

Li Shimin: "?!"

"Hou Junji is dead?"

He frowned and said,
"what happened!"

"You call him in!"

"Yes." The waiter backed away.

Li Shimin turned his attention to Changsun Wuji.

The two looked at each other in blank dismay, silent for a while.

"Weichen see Your Majesty."

Yang Qi entered the upper study room and bowed to salute.

"Get up! Tell me clearly! What do you mean Hou Junji is dead?"

Li Shimin asked repeatedly,

"What's wrong with him? What's wrong with him?"

"It was fine before!"

Yang Qi's heart trembled.

The emperor is so devoted to Hou Junji... It seems that there is something to be said for it!

"Returning to Your Majesty, I only found out that Hou Junji's body is very weak after going for an inspection today!"

He said in a low voice,

"There is a will to die in his expression!"

"Seeing his state, I didn't dare to be negligent, so I came to ask to see His Majesty, and please forgive me."

Li Shimin: "!!!"

"That's fine, what is he trying to do?"

Li Er suddenly stood up and said,

"Go, I'll go see him!"

"Go with the auxiliary machine!"

Changsun Wuji's expression moved slightly.

This Hou Junji, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?

He looked at Yang Qi, but the other party lowered his head in a timely manner, with a submissive expression.

……

The Ministry of Punishment, the prison.

Squeak!

The cell was opened, Li Shimin walked quickly to Hou Junji, and saw his face!
There was no trace of blood on that face, it was extremely pale!
Li Shimin's heart suddenly jumped!
Yang Qi didn't lie to himself, Hou Junji really looked like he was going to die now!
"Junji!"

"You... what's wrong with you?!"

Li Shimin hurriedly stepped forward to support Hou Junji, only to find that his arm was still bleeding.

"Why are you hurting yourself!"

"Who gave you the sharp weapon? Who? I want to punish him!"

The huge blood hole on Hou Junji's arm is really shocking!

Yang Qi's eyes twitched.

This Duke Hou is really ruthless!
Just use that thick needle to pierce yourself like this!

However, at this level, I'm afraid it can't be called bitter meat, right?

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty."

Hou Junji wriggled his lips, gently supported Li Shimin, forced himself to stand up and knelt down,
"The collection of guilty ministers, please refer to Your Majesty."

chap!
The wound on the arm was stretched open, bleeding profusely!
"Okay, okay! You are already like this, so don't salute anymore!"

Li Shimin quickly pressed his shoulders, and said to Yang Qi behind him,

"Yang Qi, stop the bleeding for Hou Junji!"

"...Yes." Yang Qi stepped forward in response, took out a white cloth from the medicine box, and tied Hou Junji's arms.

The blood stained the white cloth, but the blood was indeed stopped.

"Your Majesty, the criminal..."

Hou Junji's voice was hoarse, and he stared blankly at Li Shimin in front of him.

"Why don't you think about it? As the saying goes, it is better to live than to die. There is still a relationship between you and me as a monarch and a minister!"

Li Shimin sighed,

"Take good care of your wounds, and don't commit suicide in the future!"

"If you have any demands, you can tell me, and I may not refuse to agree!"

Ever since his eldest grandson Wugou fell ill, he couldn't stand life and death even more.

It has to be said that Hou Junji's timing was really good, it was the time when Xu Fenglei left and Li Shimin's feelings were fragile.

"Your Majesty, the guilty minister did not commit suicide, but... wrote a book."

Hou Junji slowly took out a piece of white cloth from his arms, offered it with both hands, and said in a trembling voice,

"Your Majesty, please read it!"

wow.

Li Shimin took the white cloth and opened it, and there was blood dripping inside!

"You... why did you write a blood book!"

He was choking for breath.

No wonder this Hou Junhui is so weak, looking like he is going to die.

The nutrition itself is not good, and now it consumes so much blood to write the book, it's no wonder the situation is good!

"I said, you can tell me if you have something to say, there is no need to do these things..."

The corners of Li Shimin's eyes were a little moist.

He can't see this.

"What I want to say is all in the blood book!"

Hou Junji grabbed the ground with his head and shouted hoarsely,
"Please Your Majesty appreciate it!"

boom!
Knocking his head on the ground, Li Shimin's heart seemed to have been hammered!
His eyes fell on the blood book, and he read it word by word.

The eldest grandson Wuji behind him has been observing Hou Junji, and at the same time, his peripheral vision also fell on the blood book.

This piece of blood is indeed frightening to see.

Not to mention, if it were him, he might not have such determination to write a blood book... How painful it would be!

In order to have enough blood, the wound had to be punctured continuously, and then punctured again.

Every time, it will be more painful than the last time!

This is really not something ordinary people can do!

Hou Junji is a ruthless person!

"You... want to join the battle?"

Li Shimin finished reading the blood book, took a deep breath, and looked at Hou Junji.

Hou Junji raised his head abruptly.

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty, the criminal was once a general! The best destination for a general is to die on the battlefield!"

"The guilty minister was overjoyed when he heard that His Majesty wanted to conquer Tuyuhun!"

"Your Majesty, the guilty subject is a death row inmate. He should have died a long time ago! It was His Majesty who withstood the pressure again and again to save the guilty subject. The guilty subject was grateful, but more guilty!"

"Every time His Majesty saves the criminal minister, the criminal minister feels more guilty! How can the criminal minister repay such a kindness?!"

His eyes were red, and he growled in a low voice, as if all the strength in his body had burst out!

"Your Majesty, I beg you to promise the sinner, and let the sinner fight for you and for the Great Tang!"

"Criminals want to join the battle, rush to the front and be the vanguard, be the first to join the team!"

"The guilty minister hopes that I can be the first! If there are any casualties in my Tang army, then I, Hou Junji, will be the first Tang soldier to die!"

"If you can return the corpse wrapped in horse leather, the guilty minister will have no regrets!!"

Li Shimin: "!!!"

These words really shook Li Er's mind a few times!

"You... are you going to die on the battlefield?"

He said in disbelief.

In any war, even in a crushing situation, casualties are inevitable.

And the so-called 'vanguards' and 'leaders' are those people who charge when the opponent's strength is strongest in the war!
The Xiandeng team can't calculate the survival rate on the battlefield at all, because [-]% of them are dead.

We can only calculate their average survival time on the battlefield—less than a quarter of an hour!

It was precisely because of this that Li Shimin was shocked - Hou Junji's determination was too great!

"Between surviving and dying heroically, the criminal would rather choose the latter!"

Hou Junji looked extremely earnest, and said,

"Your Majesty, the criminal has committed a heinous crime, and not dying is not enough to face the truth!"

"The sinner has been in the sky prison for these years, and he often reflects on his mistakes. He really feels that he has failed the holy grace! The more he reflects, the more he wants to die!"

"But if you die like this, it's hard to repay the king's kindness in case! Therefore, the guilty minister wants to die on the battlefield. In this way, he can be regarded as doing his part for His Majesty!"

"In this way, the guilty minister can rest in peace under the Nine Springs..."

"Please Your Majesty...to complete it!"

boom!
After Hou Junji finished speaking, he slammed his head on the ground again!
Li Shimin was still in great shock, and was in a daze for a while.

"Wait, let me take it easy, let me take it easy..."

"I……"

Bang bang bang bang!

Before he finished speaking, Hou Junji was already kowtowing in front of him like garlic!
"Please Your Majesty! Please Your Majesty, Please Your Majesty!"

"Woooooooo..."
