"I have decided that in the future, the tobacco tax will be specially extracted, not for other purposes, but for military expenses!"

Li Shimin took a puff of cigarette, puffed out a cloud of smoke from his nose, and said with a smile,

"Before this money is used up, the war will never ask the household department for money!"

"In this way, the problem of money and food will be solved, what does Wei Aiqing think?"

Wei Zheng: "......"

The biggest reason for his opposition to war was that it cost people and money.

If he didn't have to use the money in the treasury and didn't consume the hard work they had worked so hard to manage, then what else would he have to object?

Mainly...... He saw it too.

The emperor is prepared! He just wants to fight!

Seeing that Wei Zheng didn't speak, Li Shimin had a big pair in his heart!

It's rare!

Finally, I can see that Wei Zheng's refutation is not refuted!

This tobacco is such a good thing!

Take another puff.

"Your Majesty, can you smoke a little less?"

Xu Fenglei said with a dark face,

"This government hall is so small, you smoke, it's full of smell."

"How do we non-smokers stay?"

"Besides, this thing is very harmful! If you keep pumping it, you will live at least five years less! I regret bringing it back to Datang! ”

"I have to find a time to educate everyone about the dangers of smoking!"

When Li Shimin heard this, he raised his eyebrows.

"Whew...... If there is harm, there is harm! ”

He waved his hand and said with a look of compassion,

"Just think that I am for the military expenses of the Tang Dynasty, and sacrifice myself to contribute!"

"Whew-"

Xu Fenglei: "¥%......&*#@!! ”

You're noble, aren't you?!

"Then I'll have one too, and I will also contribute to Datang's military spending."

"Count me in! It doesn't matter how many years you live less, the main thing is to live comfortably! ”

"That's right! Accompany one! ”

Several generals were already old smokers, and they all took out their cigarette cases and lit them gently.

If there is no fire, borrow one.

Every action is smooth.

In just a moment, the room is filled with smoke, like a fairyland!

"It's going to go on!"

Xu Fenglei left the table angrily and said,

"I'm going to be complimentary!"

With that, he walked out quickly!

I can't stand these people dancing around here!

"Pretentious...... Didn't he teach us in the first place? ”

Li Shimin snorted lightly and said,

"Quit back, quit a fart!"

"Keep talking! To Tuyuhun, since you Aiqing have an idea, then I will also talk about my thoughts! ”

"Now the military budget is sufficient, and I have raised soldiers for five years!"

"I intend to send troops! However, everything will have to wait until tomorrow at the court meeting to meet King Murong Zun, the prince of Tuyuhun, before making a final decision! ”

"Let's see what he says!"

"Adjournment!"

said that he wanted to listen to King Murong Zun's words, but in Li Er's heart, he was eager to fight more than anyone else!

So...... The boy had to ask for more blessings for himself.

……

It's night.

Xu Fenglei sat in the courtyard to enjoy the coolness, writing a proposal casually.

There is a row of words written on the proposal -

Top 10 Dangers of Smoking! For the health of you and your family! Refusing to smoke starts with me!

Whew!

Whew!

Xu Fenglei wrote so seriously that a person appeared in front of him, and he didn't even notice it.

"Ahem...... Master, there are pros and cons to cigarettes, you don't need to be afraid of it. ”

A familiar voice came.

Xu Fenglei raised his head.

"O pharmacist! What are you doing here? ”

He raised an eyebrow and said,

"Sit, sit, sit."

"Zi'er, look at the tea."

In his mansion, there are a few people who can come in without notifying.

For example, Wu Erya, the goddaughter.

Another example is Li Jing and Cheng Yanjin, they are both Xue Rengui's masters, and their relationship is naturally close.

"Okay, okay, thank you."

Li Jing took the tea, sat down slowly, and said with a smile,

"Master, I'm here today...... You know what that means, right? ”

Xu Fenglei also took a sip of tea, but his expression was a little puzzled.

"I don't know."

He asked,

"If you have something to say, you can say it, what else do we need to do between us?"

"Say it!"

Li Jing generally does not come to the door.

Coming to the door is a request for people.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey......"

Li Jing didn't speak, and laughed.

Xu Fenglei: "......"

"Don't hehe, I'm a little hairy in my heart if you do this again."

He said speechlessly,

"If you have something to say, I'll help you if I can, if I can't help, then I can't help it."

"Say it, say it!"

Li Jing rubbed his hands.

"Actually, it's nothing...... It's ......"

He squirmed a little before he spoke,

"Isn't Your Majesty going to send troops to Tuyuhun this time?"

"Really?"

Xu Fenglei nodded.

"That's what it means, but it's not sure yet."

"After all, fighting a war is a big deal, so we should be cautious."

Li Er's wars have always been planned and then moved.

When everything is in place, the troops will be dispatched! Once the troops are dispatched, there will be no more hesitation!

So many of his adventurous battles, which seem to be thrilling and exciting, are actually completely under his control.

"Yes, yes...... But eighty percent are going to fight. ”

Li Jing responded,

"I didn't think about anything else, I just thought about ...... This time in battle, you won't go out of the mountains. ”

"Can you give the opportunity to my brother, and let my brother take command of the expedition."

When Xu Fenglei heard his self-proclaim, he couldn't help but feel a chill.

Big brother, how old are you and you still call yourself brother?

I'm not afraid to break my life!

"Then Your Majesty has the final say, I don't count if I say it."

Xu Fenglei looked at him like this, deliberately teased him twice, and said deliberately,

"If Your Majesty asks me to fight, then I can only go on the expedition."

When Li Jing heard this, he was immediately anxious!

"That! You can say no! ”

He hurriedly said,

"How to refuse?" Xu Fenglei smiled playfully.

"That's it...... You just say that your back, legs and arms are sore, and you feel uncomfortable! ”

Li Jing said with a bitter face,

"I just can't go anyway!"

"Your Majesty feels sorry for you the most, and you will definitely choose someone else's."

When Xu Fenglei heard this, he suddenly realized.

"Oh—you told me to pretend to be sick, but I'm not sick, I've been full of energy lately, and I'm alive and well."

And he said,

"If you want to talk about war, you can actually fight a dozen."

"Tuyuhun is easier to fight than the Turks, after all, if you send troops this time, Tubo should also help."

Li Jing:"@#¥%......&*@!! ”

"Ouch!"

He arched his hand towards Xu Fenglei and said,

"Brother beg, please, okay?"

"Don't go this time! I've fought all my life, and I've never really been in command alone! Not to mention a foreign war! ”

"You can do it, let me have a good time, okay?"

Xu Fenglei was stunned.

This...... It seems to be true.

Before the founding of the country, although Li Jing made many miraculous achievements, he was always the deputy commander, and the prince of the clan was the commander.

In the Turkic War, he was the commander, and Li Jing was still the deputy commander.

From beginning to end, he had never commanded a single battle as a manager.

This is undoubtedly unfortunate for a talented person.

If he didn't have this opportunity in his life, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life!

"Taishi, you are still young, and you have a chance!"

Li Jing saw that Xu Fenglei seemed to hesitate, and hurriedly stepped up his fierce attack,

"Otherwise, let it go to me this time, and I won't fight with you next time!"

"Next time to you!"

When Xu Fenglei heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

"Pharmacist, pharmacist, should you divide pork? It's just pork, and it's not just us! ”

He quipped,

"Believe it or not, Your Majesty himself has thought about it! When the time comes, it is possible for him to come to the royal driving expedition! ”

"I'll give it to you this time, and I won't be able to do it next time."

When Li Jing heard the words 'Imperial Driving Expedition', his expression became even more bitter.

It's really possible!

In terms of military talent, His Majesty is also top-notch! If the general's soul in his body burns, then there will be nothing else to do!

Now that Wei Zheng is pressing, he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous.

If Wei Zheng dies one day, he may be able to overcome public opinion and drive the expedition himself!

There are so many surrounding countries, and if you fight once, you will have one less chance...... Who will?

"Alas!"

Li Jing got up and arched his hand towards Xu Fenglei,

"Taishi, then you say, what do you have to do to give it to me!"

"You just have to put forward the conditions! If I can do it, I will do it! ”

"I ...... I'll kneel down for you! I'm kneeling for you! ”

As soon as the words fell, his knees really weakened, and he wanted to kneel down for Xu Fenglei!

"Okay, okay, what are you doing here!"

Xu Fenglei hurriedly helped him, and said helplessly,

"You war madman, in order to be able to fight, you don't want this old face!"

"Are you willing to kneel, I'm still afraid of losing my life!"

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, I'll give it to you this time!"

Li Jing: "?! ”

"Really?"

The bitter color on his face quickly turned to a look of surprise.

This speed of light changes face, you can go to the Beiying textbook!

"Naturally, it's true, I've convinced you."

Xu Fenglei poured tea for him and said,

"But...... Actually, I didn't plan to rob you, I don't like to fight, and I'm not good at it. ”

"Fighting the Turks before was also chasing ducks on the shelves, in fact, I am no different from the princes of the clan, Li Xiaogong and Li Shentong."

"You are doing the specific things, I am just an ornament."

When Li Jing heard this, he waved his hand again and again.

"Taishi, this is really too modest, it's okay to be modest, but it's not okay to be self-deprecating."

He hurriedly said,

"Your military talent is definitely above me! It's definitely not something that those straw bag clan princes can compare! ”

"The war to destroy the Turks, everything I can think of, you can think of it, and what I can't think of, you have also thought of it."

"That's it, I, Li Jing, don't accept anyone! We're up to you! ”

"So, I'm just coming up to beg you, as long as you don't fight with me, then no one else is my opponent!"

In the Turkic War, Li Jing was very convinced.

Xu Fenglei achieved the greatest victory with the least price!

In other words, he can't do it to this extent.

Therefore, he admitted that Xu Fenglei was stronger than himself, and it was precisely because of this that he was afraid that this time Tuguhun would also be Xu Fenglei.

If the emperor decides someone else, he can still quarrel and fight, at least to fight for the position of the commander.

But if Xu Fenglei is decided, then he really has no temper at all, and he has no confidence to fight for the coach.

"False praise, false praise."

Xu Fenglei smiled and said,

"Anyway, I don't like to fight, and I won't go."

"My credit is big enough, and no matter how much I win, I can't seal it."

"So don't worry, whether it's me or Your Majesty's choice, it can't be me."

"There is no one in the DPRK, there are so many generals, you can choose a few famous generals with your eyes closed, don't you say?"

Li Jing's eyes lit up and he nodded again and again.

That's right!

Taishi is now in a high position, and he is the first person to make a hero!

If he fights again, if he destroys the country again, will he be crowned king?

That's impossible!

Thinking of this, Li Jing's hanging heart also relaxed.

"So, it's not me that you have to think about, it's other competitors."

Xu Fenglei Zhengsedao,

"There are quite a few people in the DPRK who can fight this battle."

Li Jing pursed his lips.

"I don't care about anyone else except you, and they have fought for me?"

His nonchalant word,

"It's just a little threatening Li Ji, but as long as I fight with him, the coach can only be me, and he will be a deputy coach!"

"Where are my qualifications?"

Li Jing is still very confident.

As long as there is no Xu Fenglei, then everyone else is a younger brother!

"Huh...... You may be thinking in the wrong direction. ”

Xu Fenglei said with a smile,

"Is there a possibility, this battle is a small fight in the eyes of His Majesty, and there is no need for a commander like you to go on the expedition."

"Even, I can't even use Li Ji."

"The so-called killing chickens uses a knife, right? If that's the case...... You may not be able to choose. ”

"It's like Duan Zhixuan and Xue Wanche, who have a great chance."

"Also, since the destruction of the Turks, Datang has a lot of soldiers and generals, and they will definitely be sent to fight, such as those who are obsessed with losing their thinking power, and they should all be selected."

Li Jing: "...... Yes? ”

He froze.

He hadn't thought about it!

"This is not a small fight! Such a big country! ”

He hesitated,

Duan Zhixuan, Xue Wanche...... And those generals? ”

"They're a little tender! It's almost the same as being a pioneer, can you be in charge? ”

"What if something happens?"

These names, to his ears, are not very stable!

After all, once this army is dispatched, it will be a war to destroy the country!

can command a large corps to fight and defeat the Great War of Annihilation, in his eyes, the Tang Dynasty is three and a half.

Emperor Li Shimin one.

Taishi Xu Fenglei one,

One of your own.

Li Ji half a ......

Well, yes, Li Ji can only be counted as half, because this old boy is too stable! And to defeat the national war, it takes a sharp momentum to break through to the end!

Li Ji's command ability is in place, but his courage may be almost meaningless.

"If something happens, I'll just ask you to put out the fire."

Xu Fenglei laughed and said,

"If they can fight, let them fight."

"If you can't fight, you will be replaced by you to take command, and it will be destroyed!"

"That's how I analyzed, whether Your Majesty will think so, then I don't know. However, it shouldn't be too bad. ”

Li Jing: "......"

He fell into deep thought.

After a while, he raised his head and said with a look of hope:

"Taishi, do you think I have a chance?"

"Aren't you a god calculating, help me calculate a hexagram?"
