When Li Shimin heard this, he also nodded thoughtfully.

"yes......"

He sighed,

"This fang must not be kept."

"Your words remind me that after a hundred years, what auxiliary ministers should be left for the successor monarch, this is really cautious, and it is worth thinking about repeatedly......"

Li Shimin originally thought that the capable officials under him were all loyal.

Now it seems that this is not the case at all! In the team of ministers who are not in order, there are anti-bones like Hou Junji!

If you are entrusted with a heavy responsibility, you will inevitably have endless troubles!

"It's time to think about it."

Xu Fenglei echoed,

"For example, when I accept apprentices, I also have to look at the face and bones, and the most basic thing is to see whether this son is loyal."

"Chao Qin and Twilight, those who steal and play tricks will never be able to enter my eyes."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.

"Oh? How do you see if a person is loyal and reliable? ”

"Listen, I'm going to learn this."

Xu Fenglei responded:

"Look at the hairline at the back of the head, the more you go down the neck, the longer and more loyal."

On the contrary, their minds are changeable and they refuse to live in one place. If you look at it with the backbone, you must be jumping ship. ”

"Of course, this can only be a preliminary judgment, it really has to test people's hearts, it is much more complicated, and you can't just say that the other party is a disloyal person just because the hairline on the back of the person's head is short, that is too arbitrary."

When Li Shimin heard this, he subconsciously touched the back of his head.

"I seem to be a little short......"

He muttered to himself.

The corners of Xu Fenglei's mouth rose slightly.

How can you be loyal, you can kill your brother and force your father......

"What are you laughing at?"

Li Shimin keenly caught the change in Xu Fenglei's expression and said unhappily.

"Is there one? I didn't laugh, Your Majesty was wrong. ”

Xu Fenglei hurriedly lowered the corners of his mouth and said,

"The reason why Your Majesty's hairline is short is because you are the emperor, the emperor is the lord of the world, where do you need any loyalty? Only you make others loyal, no one deserves your allegiance. ”

"So, it's normal."

Li Shimin snorted lightly.

"That's a good explanation."

He turned to look at the back of Xu Fenglei's neck and touched it.

"Hey, you're a pretty long kid."

"So, you're a loyal man?"

Xu Fenglei raised his head.

"That's nature, I'm not the ambitious white-eyed wolf."

He said proudly,

"Whether it is to friends, elders, or masters, I Xu Fenglei respect from the bottom of my heart, and I will never do anything unfavorable to them behind my back!"

"If you don't uphold such a righteous path, you are not a gentleman, but a complete villain!"

Smack!

"Good, good! This boast, I approve! ”

Li Shimin laughed and said,

"It seems that the first auxiliary minister who can entrust the affairs of his death has been found!"

"Over the years, I have indeed trusted you the most, and you, Xu Fenglei, have indeed never disappointed me!"

"We are kings and ministers, and we are also friends! This relationship is stronger than gold! ”

Xu Feng thundered with goosebumps.

"Your Majesty, don't say such sensual words, I feel uncomfortable listening to it."

He hurriedly said,

"Your Majesty is only forty years old now, what do you want to do after death? That was decades later. ”

"Besides, I'm not the material for the auxiliary government, I can't do anything, I just have a mouth and a horn, so let me go."

Auxiliary Minister?

In history, there are few ministers and auxiliary ministers who have a good end!

Either he was tired to death, or he was afraid of the new emperor and disliked it.

Don't be a fool of him! When your old Li head collapses, I will go back to Moyushan, so that I will not give you Lao Li's family to continue working!

"Alas...... I'm afraid I won't be able to live that long. ”

Li Shimin shook his head and smiled bitterly,

"I'm not twenty-four years old, but since I've passed forty, I've obviously felt that my energy is low, and my body is not as good as before."

"If it goes on like this, it will be good to live for another ten or twenty years, and naturally we have to plan for what will happen after death."

Xu Fenglei was silent.

Li Shimin in history does only have ten years left to live.

Looking at his sideburns at this time, which was slightly gray, it was clear that his energy was indeed weak.

"It's hard to be a Ming Jun."

He sighed softly,

"Troubled and delusional, sorrowful body and mind, they will be humiliated, wandering and living and dying."

"Qing Xiu can live a long life, because the body and mind are quiet, an emperor like Your Majesty, he doesn't know how many government affairs he has to deal with every day, even if he sleeps, he has to think about the future of the country, how can he live a long life?"

"If you are a faint king, you will finally be hurt by the wine and wealth, and it will be even more unbearable."

"The word emperor and longevity are always opposite."

Ming Jun died early, and he was engaged in state affairs.

The faint king died early, and he indulged in lust.

This is why the average life expectancy of an emperor is only thirty-six years old, which is shorter than ordinary people.

"Although I understand this truth, I can reluctantly accept this cruel truth, but ...... Can you please stop saying any more. ”

Li Shimin grinned and said,

"Speaking of which, I am always uncomfortable in my heart."

Xu Fenglei quickly closed his mouth and stopped forcing Lai Lai.

"Let's talk about the real problem, how do you think this turmoil should be calmed down?"

Li Er asked again.

Both of them slowed down at the moment, chatting while setting the tone for the rebellion.

"Hou Junji's rebellion is a sure thing, and tonight, more than 100,000 troops will witness it, and it is impossible to seal it, and there is no need to seal it."

Xu Fenglei groaned slightly, and said,

"Let the world know about his usurpation!"

"Then, he was publicly sentenced to death, and when the time came, the people of Chang'an, as well as the ministers of the court, should be beheaded! Set an example! ”

Li Shimin flicked his sleeves.

"Do you still need to discuss Hou Junji's matter? I'm talking about the Prince! ”

He was displeased,

"Don't talk about him left and right! What should the prince do? ”

"You give me an idea."

Xu Fenglei pointed at himself.

"Your Majesty, don't dig a hole for me."

"What do I think? Such a big matter involves the great crime of usurpation, let me make an idea? ”

He knows that his status is not low, and his words are not light, but at this time, where does he Xu Fenglei have the qualifications to take ideas?

It's funny!

"Yes."

Li Shimin said very calmly,

"I can't make up my mind, so I'll ask you what you mean."

"Cheng Qian is involved in this matter, and he is still the core figure, no matter what his thoughts and purposes are, it is a fact that he joined forces to rebel and usurp."

"Whether it's hidden or explicit, I can't think about it, you can help me think about it."

Xu Fenglei raised his eyebrows.

"If you want to hide, you must protect the undertaker and let him continue to be the prince."

He said,

"If this matter is made public, it will be blamed on him, and the removal of the prince is the lightest!"

"It's just that if that's the case, I'm afraid it will hurt the reputation of the royal family, after all, the world won't delve into why the prince participated in the rebellion, they only know that the emperor's son wants to destroy the emperor, just like at the beginning, uh......"

Speaking of the back, Xu Fenglei almost pouted again, and hurriedly stopped.

Li Shimin's face really changed, and he snorted coldly:

"Then you mean that in order to preserve the reputation of the royal family, you will hide this matter, that is, not deal with the fault of the crown prince?"

"It's just Hou Junji's unilateral rebellion, isn't it?"

Although Xu Fenglei's words poked him a little, this was indeed the point that Li Shimin paid the most attention to.

A change in Xuanwumen is already a 'scandal' of the royal family.

If the crown prince rebels and usurps his father's throne, he will really be criticized for thousands of years!

After all, he, Li Shimin, is the one who made a bad start!

"Not really."

Xu Fenglei said again,

"Of course the prince will be punished! There is no doubt about it. ”

"However, it should be dealt with in a gentle, decent, and seemingly normal way, instead of opening and closing widely, provoking the courtiers and the world talking."

Li Shimin's face changed a little better.

"How gentle, how decent?"

He asked.

"Putting two things aside."

Xu Fengleidao,

"Dealing with Hou Junji is what needs to be done right now, but there is no need to rush to punish the prince."

"After Hou Jun gathers the law, after a while, find a time to find a reason to remove the prince from the position of prince."

"That way, no one will associate the two things together."

Li Shimin frowned slightly.

"Do you really want me to depose Cheng Qian?"

He wondered,

"He is the prince you have worked hard to cultivate for more than ten years, and he was abolished like this, are you willing?"

This kid, is he really so righteous and awe-inspiring?

With my own understanding of him, shouldn't it?

"Your Majesty is wrong, not deposed, but exempted."

Xu Fenglei corrected,

"Deposing is a very heavy punishment, and exemption is just a normal appointment or dismissal."

"When the crown prince of the dynasty is no longer qualified for the position of prince, he will be removed from the title of prince, let him go to be a rich prince, and let someone who is more suitable to be a prince go up."

"That's just the way it works."

After a pause, he added:

"As for the question of whether I am willing or not, I will tell you the truth, originally I wanted to support it."

"But I've changed my mind now, because he doesn't like his current life and status at all, and the word prince is a cage for him."

"Now that I have seen this, then I, who is a master, will naturally not force him to do what she is unwilling to do."

"Let him take off his burden, everyone has their own way to go, what Cheng Qian wants to take may really not be the emperor's road, why force him?"

Li Shimin was silent.

The two walked slowly, and before they knew it, the palace was already in front of them.

“…… Maybe. ”

Li Er said in a low voice,

"Then who do you think among the other princes can be qualified for the position of prince?"

"Li Tai? Li Ke? Or is it Li Zhi? ”

"Or is it some other prince?"

"You said that Cheng Qian is not suitable for this emperor road, so who is suitable?"

Xu Fenglei smiled.

Needless to say? It must be my invincible Li Zhizhi slave!

As far as his bad temperament is concerned, the emperor's mental trick is innate, and he is purely here to be called a lonely widow!

It's just that he won't say anything at this moment.

"What are you laughing at?"

Li Shimin said unhappily,

"Seriously? I'm talking to you about the country! It is the foundation of Datang! ”

When Xu Fenglei heard this, he smiled even brighter.

"Your Majesty, aren't you embarrassed for me? I know a hammer, huh? ”

He said,

"Your Majesty's order may be wrong."

"It's not that whoever I choose, Your Majesty will appoint, but who Your Majesty appoints, I will fully support whom."

"I will only support, not choose."

"So, I don't know!"

Li Shimin's face darkened.

"Listen, I treat you as a true friend, why are you like Li Jing, prevaricating me?"

"Don't worry! I would never be suspicious of you or anything like that at this time, I really want to know what you think. ”

Xu Fenglei just smiled and didn't speak.

Li Shimin still didn't give up, and asked:

"Blue Sparrow?"

"He is from Guanyin, you must be more towards him, right? Although his boy is a little weaker, his wisdom is very high. ”

"As long as you train it, you can still be qualified as a prince, you say, right?"

Xu Fenglei nodded: "Yes, what Your Majesty said is very true, and the minister deeply agrees." ”

Li Shimin: "......"

"Perfunctory, you!"

And he said,

"Then what do you like about Li Ke?"

"Li Ke, this kid is indeed the most like me, he is very capable, if he becomes the emperor, his achievements will definitely not be under me!"

"Although he was born to Concubine Yang, but if I really want to set him up, I can still overcome the resistance, presumably Guanyin can also understand, it's a big deal, I will follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."

Xu Fenglei bared his teeth.

"Your Majesty is very ruthless, if you want to set up Li Ke, you have to kill his mother."

"Okay, then let me say it, I only support the baby born to the queen, and don't consider anything else, this can be regarded as adding a restrictive condition."

"Ke'er just let him be the king and hegemon in Tuyuhun, you don't have to toss him anymore."

Li Shimin snorted lightly.

"Don't you dare to be perfunctory this time, right? Well, if you exclude one, you'll be left with a childish slave. ”

He raised his head slightly, and said,

"The child is weaker than Qingque, and the biggest feature of his body is benevolence and filial piety."

"I love him very much, to be honest, my love for my children is indeed unfair, and now, I love the child slave the most."

"But it is difficult for a child who is weak in benevolence and filial piety to provoke the beam...... Everyone thinks that the king's heart is unpredictable, and accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, but in fact, in the eyes of the king, isn't the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military beasts a flood beast? None of them are good matches! Once the monarch is weak, there will definitely be traitors to seize power! ”

"So, this child...... I love to love it, but if I really want to set him up, I have more worries. ”

"Unless I am assisted by powerful and extremely loyal ministers, I will not be at ease."

Xu Fenglei touched his chin.

"Support all your Majesty's decisions."

He's still the same old one.

When Li Shimin heard this, he almost lost his nose!

"Can you not do this? Can you give us some ideas? ”

He scolded, "Now, give me an answer!" ”

"Is it a green finch or a childish slave? Your opinion is important to me. ”

This kid, leave it here!

"It's all good, it's all good."

Xu Fenglei looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and said,

"Your Majesty's sons are all good children, and as long as they are chosen, they have the ability to be emperors."

"Really ......"
