I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 610 Manipulating the wheel of history is not that simple

"Godfather, the emperor apologized to you."

Wu Erya said with a surprised face,
"This seems to be very rare! This letter of apology can be kept well, and it can be used as a family heirloom in the future!"

Xu Fenglei laughed.

"What about family treasures? I don't have any offspring, so what family?"

He touched Wu Erya's head and said with a smile,
"If you really want to pass it on, then it will be passed on to you."

A goddaughter... can be regarded as a descendant!
"Yeah! Then I'll keep it safe."

Wu Erya said with a smile,

"Godfather, don't break it, it's my family heirloom now!"

Xu Fenglei shook his head, looking a little helpless.

Of course, he was even more surprised.

This seems to be Li Shimin's first formal apology like this!
It is really rare to be able to put down the emperor's stature and majesty to admit mistakes... at least it is rarer than those nasty words.

Thinking in his heart, he continued to look down:

"When I wrote this letter of apology, I suddenly had many memories. I still remember the first time I met ten years ago, and I thought you were an expert! Although you are very young, I am sure that you have real materials! Maybe... this is the edge of the eye."

"Later, you helped me plan my enthronement, and you helped me educate my children. We had a harmonious relationship and conflicts. Over the years, we have become more and more familiar with each other. Come to know more and more.”

"My feelings for you and my closeness to you are different from all foreign ministers, even my brother-in-law Changsun Wuji is not as good as you... Do you know why?"

Xu Fenglei read silently, with a bit of emotion in his expression.

In the blink of an eye, it has been ten years.

Naturally, the relationship in the past ten years has not faded... So reading it now, he is also very touched.

The relationship between him and Li Shimin is indeed more like a friend than a monarch.

Just like this time, if the two parties were in the relationship of a monarch and a minister, then Li Shimin would never write such a letter, but directly summoned himself back with an imperial decree.

Thinking in my heart, my eyes continued to fall on the paper;
"In ancient times, the emperors were so lonely, so they all said they were lonely."

"As for me, I'm undoubtedly lucky. At least I have an empress who is extremely virtuous to talk to, and a friend who I get along well with. I'm not alone."

"But now, the empress is sleeping on the sick bed, and you are gone too... I suddenly feel that I am alone, lonely... Even if I smoke, I smoke by myself, which is very boring."

"The weather in Chang'an is not bad recently, you... come back, even if you don't talk to me, you can smoke a few cigarettes with me."

"..."

An apology letter is not too long, but Xu Fenglei really felt the sincerity between the lines of Li Shimin.

"Godfather, this last sentence has a feeling of flowers blooming on the Moshang, but returning slowly."

Wu Erya said with a smile,

"The emperor is still very sincere, why don't you go back?"

Although it wasn't that difficult for her in Jiuyi Mountain, she still hoped to return to the prosperous Chang'an.

Of course, as long as her godfather doesn't go back, she won't go back!
This is the principle!

"go back……"

Xu Fenglei gathered the letter paper slightly, looked at Xue Rengui suddenly, and said,
"Your kindness."

"What's the status of the empress now?"

Xue Rengui had already prepared a full stomach of information, and responded:
"After the queen was picked up from the sea pool, she fell into a deep sleep. Sun Zhenzhen said that she was a blessing in disguise."

"Although she couldn't wake up for a while, her life was saved. It's just that hundreds of people are needed to serve her...Of course, this is nothing to the noble empress."

Wu Erya nodded approvingly:
"That's for sure! The empress is the number one woman in the world! She is the most honored woman in the world! Let alone hundreds of people serving her, even tens of thousands of people should serve her!"

"Tsk tsk... so desirable!"

She also imagined that she was served by thousands of people.

"So, the Queen's life is not in danger now."

Xu Fenglei touched his chin and said seriously,

"The state she is in is a vegetative state...that is, stupor?"

Xue Rengui nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, Master Sun said he was numb."

he said,

"Brother, is there still a chance for the empress to wake up?"

Xu Fenglei shook his head.

"I can't say that. Maybe there will be a miracle, or maybe not."

"However, at least everyone can accept the current situation, and there is still a thought in their hearts. The saddest thing for people is that the thought is gone. The current His Majesty can at least look forward to the queen's waking up. "

"Maybe one day in the future, by coincidence, the Queen will really wake up, and the husband and wife will be able to reunite again."

As he talked, he was looking forward to this day.

It must have been a tearjerker.

"Brother is right."

Xue Rengui thinks so.

"With Immortal Sun and the others around, it shouldn't be a big problem. Vegetative people are generally quite stable as long as they are well cared for."

Xu Fenglei said,

"Tell me about Chang'an! What happened recently?"

"I'm fine anywhere in Jiuyi Mountain, but this news is too closed, and I can't receive any news."

He's actually been thinking about it recently.

Do you want to invest a sum of money to form an intelligence network?

In this way, at least he can achieve 'knowing the world's affairs without going out', so that he will not really lose contact with the secular world.

"There are many."

Xue Rengui said seriously,

"Tuyuhun committed Liangzhou again. At that time, the empress had just fallen ill, and His Majesty was furious, so he directly decided to completely destroy Tuyuhun!"

"This time, my master is in charge. He has been waiting for this day for a long time!"

"He also said that he wants me to go back early and follow him to make contributions on the battlefield outside the territory!"

Xu Fenglei nodded slightly.

"Your master, Li Jing, was indeed born to fight. Last time he fought against the Turks, I was actually the one who stole the position of coach. This time, it is a blessing that he got what he wanted!"

He applauded, and then asked,
"Rengui, you have to listen to your master and return to the army as soon as possible, and you must catch up with the soldiers!"

"The army is actually very factional. You are what you are at the beginning, that is what you are, and a team will naturally form around you!"

"But if you join halfway, at this time, various hilltops and circles have already formed. It will be difficult for you to integrate, and it will be even more difficult to monopolize a hilltop! Even if your backer is Li Jing! Unspoken rules in the military."

"So, you have to go back early to catch this ticket! Understand?"

Xue Rengui nodded solemnly.

"yes, Sir!"

"Little brother understands!"

As a master, Li Jing would not tell him these words, at most he would remind him a few words.

Only the eldest brother would tell himself without reservation!

"This time, Tuyuhun is bound to perish. Murong Fuyun is jumping up and down every day. I really think that no one will cure him!"

Xu Fenglei said in a deep voice,

"However, after the destruction of Tuyuhun, we must not support another descendant of the Murong clan to be king, but let Tang go there to garrison troops, and confer a king there, making Tuyuhun the fiefdom of the prince!"

"In this way, we can not only reduce the consumption of resources in the Tang Dynasty, but also strengthen the control of the plateau! If you fight and leave, it is tantamount to fighting in vain, and it will be cheaper for Tubo."

Historically, after the Tang Dynasty destroyed Tuyuhun, it failed to deal with it well, causing the land to be in chaos, and then Tubo seized the opportunity to capture the plateau in one fell swoop, directly threatening Datang!

But now, Tubo has fallen into civil strife because of the death of Songtsan Gampo, and it is also very chaotic... maybe it will not repeat the bad things in history.

But in any case, Li Shimin's detention system on the plateau was a failure!

If you don't change the way, it will be a waste of hard work after all.

"This... the eldest brother, do you want to write a letter to His Majesty?"

Xue Rengui hesitated for a while, and said,

"Your majesty will definitely listen to what you say. But even if you send a prince to such a bitter cold place, you probably won't send your own prince."

Xu Fenglei was noncommittal.

Those who do not submit the letter, we will talk about it when the time comes, anyway, the battle has not yet been fought.

He is indeed thinking about going back now... After all, Li Er has come to beg in such a low voice, so he should give some face at least.

"Talk about something else."

he said casually.

"One more thing... Big Brother might be angry."

Xue Rengui looked at Xu Fenglei's face, and said cautiously,
"Your Majesty... released Hou Junji."

Xu Fenglei's expression suddenly changed.

"What do you mean? Make it clear!"

Seeing that the eldest brother looked unhappy, Xue Rengui did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly said:

"It's like this... an imperial physician said that Hou Junji was going to die, so His Majesty went to visit Hou Junji."

"It turned out that Hou Junji wrote a blood letter to His Majesty, saying that he wanted to die on the battlefield, shrouded in horse leather..."

"Then……"

He narrated the ins and outs of the matter, and by the way, he also helped to say a few words from Li Shimin's perspective.

"After all, Hou Junji is His Majesty's hero. This time, he is begging to die. If he wants to die on the battlefield like a soldier, I also think... His Majesty will find it difficult to refuse."

Wu Erya snorted coldly.

"What died on the battlefield? He's just playing tricks, playing tricks!"

She said disdainfully,

"Believe it or not, even if Datang's army is wiped out, he is not willing to die!"

"His wishful thinking is good! First give the emperor an undeniable plea, and then make meritorious deeds by fighting the enemy on the Tuyuhun battlefield. Once the meritorious service is established, the meritorious deeds can be used to make up for the crime."

"If he can act a little more, and then perform a wave of suicide after victory, and then be rescued, it will definitely move everyone. The emperor will probably be moved by him!"

"At that time, he will be completely on the dry shore! All kinds of honors and merits will be restored! Hehe..."

"Play this kind of trick."

After some words, Xue Rengui was surprised again and again,

"what?"

"It turns out that this can be done..."

He hadn't expected it at all.

I thought Hou Junji was just begging for death, but it turns out he has [-] minds!
If it is true what Wu Erya said, then there is a great possibility that he will be successfully cleared of the crime!

"you are too naive."

Xu Fenglei said lightly,
"Hou Junji is the most scheming and most unscrupulous among the founding heroes."

"It couldn't be more accurate to describe this person with evil intentions."

"As soon as my front foot left, he directly staged a bitter trick for the emperor on the back foot. This must have been well prepared, and there are his people inside and outside the palace to deliver information and news."

"Before I stomped so hard, I couldn't trample him to death. Now that he has embarked on a journey, even if I want to, I have no power..."

"That's all... the fate is like this, the wheel of history turns like this. I may be able to forcefully reverse it by myself, but it will eventually correct itself on its own track."

"Let's just wait and see, I won't shoot casually again."

He has experienced so many things recently, so many changes, and the exchange with Yuan Shoucheng, he also realized some truths.

This world has its own trajectory.

As a traveler, you may be able to turn it and let it go according to your own will... But if you are not paying attention, it may return to the original track and continue to roll forward.

And everything you do, it's like a joke.

But it's not entirely a joke.

At the very least, I really changed something, which cannot be corrected.

For example, the Datang Academy was created; for example, the Fenglei Bank was established; for example, the imperial examination system was improved.

Another example, killing Songtsan Gampo and causing civil strife in Tubo may make it never recover from it!Can no longer compete with Datang!

These are real changes!

For the time being, there is no sign of being corrected, but it is still developing better and better!
Therefore, it is not impossible to change history, but we must find the right way!But at present, he is still in the process of comprehending and observing.

Just at the foot of the Jiuyi Mountain, watching Datang quietly... It's good.

Xue Rengui was slightly taken aback.

"Then elder brother...will you return to Chang'an?"

he asked.

Wu Erya also looked at Xu Fenglei.

Speaking of just now, she could feel her godfather's will loosen a bit.

But now... I can't tell.

"I won't go back, I'll just stay here."

Xu Fenglei said in a deep voice,

"However, it's not really isolated from the world. I'm in Jiuyi Mountain to have a good perspective to examine myself and understand the future... When I understand everything, I will naturally go back."

"Rengui, I want you to do me a favor."

Xue Rengui got up quickly, and cupped his hands violently towards Xu Fenglei,

"Brother, please tell me! As long as I can do it, I will go up the mountain of swords and down the sea of ​​fire without frowning!"

he exclaimed.

Xu Fenglei smiled slightly, waved his hand and said:
"Don't just talk nonsense, I don't like it."

"It's not a big deal, I just want you to bring a few words to Li Qingquan. I need to form an intelligence agency, I need financial support, and I also need personnel recruitment and structure."

"I'm in Jiuyi Mountain, so I can't do this, so let her work hard and do it for me!"

　The update starts today and it’s irregular, usually at night, because I ran out of manuscripts for traveling outside...
