Under Xu Fenglei's strong supervision, Hou Junji's conspiracy against the case progressed rapidly, and it only took two days to complete all the processes.

Li Shimin was also simply not consulted with any ministers, nor did he listen to any advice, he directly gave permission, and ordered the ministers above the fifth rank in the court to watch and behead!

On this day, the heads of the people killed in the vegetable market were rolling, including the rebel Hou Yu, who wanted to sever the father-son relationship with Hou Junji, was also arrested.

No matter if you break off the relationship, don't shout injustice, when a person wants to punish the nine clans, even the dogs in the family have to be stewed, and the eggs in the chicken coop have to be shaken and yellow!

And Hou Junji, as the chief evildoer, couldn't even die so simply, when his relatives were simply beheaded, he only had hundreds of knives cut on his body.

There are still more than 3,000 knives left before Ling Chi executed 3,600 knives!

This torture feast continues, and it will take another six days to truly complete the execution.

Countless people who eat melons regard Ling Chi as a daily repertoire, and they feel uncomfortable not watching it for a day...... After all, this is the first incident in Datang, and you may not be able to see it once in your life!

If you watch the whole process, not to mention bragging to your grandson when you are old, you will write a memoir when you look back, and there will be people in later generations who will buy it and watch it!

However, Xu Fenglei, who personally sent Hou Junji to the guillotine, did not go to watch the beheading.

He just glanced at the entrance of the vegetable market and confirmed that the execution was in progress, so he went about other things.

A few days later.

"Sir, Hou Junji was killed by 3,600 knives, and the execution is over."

Zi Wan looked at Xu Fenglei and said respectfully,

"Counting all the people of his nine clans, there are thousands of people, and such a big family, just because Hou Junji has taken a fork in the road, all of them will die, it's really ...... It's emotional. ”

Xu Fenglei raised his eyelids.

"So, don't mix too well, stand too high, plain is the most true."

He answered,

"Ordinary people, how can there be nine clans?"

"A wealthy family, seeing him rise from a tall building, watching him feast guests, seeing his building collapse."

Zi Wan nodded approvingly.

Suddenly, she pursed her lips and laughed again:

"That's bad, our family is also a top wealthy family in Chang'an."

"According to what Mr. said, I'm afraid it's a little dangerous, giggle......"

When Xu Fenglei heard this, he shook his head with a smile.

"So, I'm going to retreat bravely."

He said,

"You see, I've been in Chang'an all these years, the imperial court is still functioning normally, and Datang is still the same Datang."

"It shows that with me and without me, in fact, it's all the same, it won't say that without me, the sun won't rise and fall, and Datang will be messed up."

"My basic mission has been completed, and the next step is to be free, gradually fade out of the center of power, and become an idler in the mountains."

"That's where I end up."

Ordinary people can't leave behind glory and wealth, but Xu Fenglei has no obsession with this.

He has always been able to take it and put it down.

Perhaps because the concept of time and space is different from everyone else, he will never think about being a miser, but will think about how to use the limited resources in his hands to benefit more ordinary people!

If he can make the Tang Dynasty stronger and the people of Li richer, he will be happy even if he scatters all his wealth.

Of course, these words are not for outsiders, otherwise they will be said to be false and selfless, after all, with a lofty consciousness, a person like Sun Simiao is still rare in the world.

"Huh?"

The purple maid was a little lost,

"What do you mean...... Do you want to leave Chang'an after that? ”

She could feel that in the meaning of Mr., the meaning of retreat was very strong, as if he wanted to be a person like Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty.

Xu Fenglei smiled.

"That's natural, I'm not going to stay in one place, I'm going to ...... I may go back to Moyu Mountain, or visit the great rivers and mountains of Datang. ”

He answered,

"So, think about the future for yourselves."

"Do you want to do a career, or find a good man, or a comfortable life."

"No matter which path you choose, I support you, and everyone in my family has the right to choose."

The purple maid's nose was sour.

This sentence 'people in my family' moved her to almost tears!

Sir, I have always regarded these slaves and maids as family members!

At that moment, a voice came.

"Sir, His Royal Highness King Wei has come down."

Outside the hospital, the servant reported.

"Oh? Why did this kid come to visit me? ”

Xu Fenglei was a little surprised, but he also reacted quickly, and whispered,

"Eighty percent is for that."

"Call him in."

"Girl, you go make tea, don't let people come into the yard, I'll talk to Qingque about things."

"Yes, sir." Ziwen sniffed and turned away.

In a moment, Li Tai had already stepped over the arch.

He walked in front of Xu Fenglei, suddenly knelt down and bowed:

"Apprentice to meet Master."

He was fat and knelt on the ground, like a piece of pagoda meat, which looked a little funny.

"Get up."

Xu Fenglei raised his hand with a smile and said,

"Qingque, you usually be an otaku, and you hide in your palace every day, why do you have time to come here today as a teacher?"

"I remember that you are compiling the "Chronicles of the Ground", how is the compilation?"

Li Tai got up at this time, and as soon as he heard the master talk about "The Chronicles of the Kuodi", he became energetic.

"It's almost! It's almost the final tidying up! ”

He replied,

"When the book is ready, the apprentice will show it to the master as soon as possible! Let Master palm! ”

Xu Fenglei smiled, but waved his hand.

"I'm not qualified enough, let's dedicate it to your father first, he will be happy to see it."

"I'm happy, maybe I'll entrust you with a heavy responsibility."

Li Tai's expression froze.

"Master, you also know that children don't have much talent, but they have some talent in books, where can they take on heavy responsibilities?"

He said cautiously,

"If you want to share the worries of your father, you have to be the eldest brother, he is the most talented one among our brothers."

"Last time he was in prison, he even praised him."

Da-da-da.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, please use tea."

Zi Wan handed over two cups of tea and quickly turned around and retreated.

"Sit down."

Xu Fenglei didn't pick up the stubble, and said casually.

"Hey, okay."

Li Tai sat in response, but his eyes were rolling, aiming at Xu Fenglei's body.

But Xu Fenglei didn't seem to notice his small movements, just sipped tea.

"Tsk, this tea is good."

"Hmm...... The taste is really ok, get more next time. ”

He said to himself, as if no one was there. 、

In terms of quiet work, where is Li Tai's opponent of Xu Fenglei? After a while, he couldn't hold his breath, only to see him squint his eyes and glance out, and said in a low voice:

"Master, the child heard ......"

"The eldest brother doesn't want to be the crown prince anymore, and the father also wants to remove the eldest brother from the crown prince and set up another prince."

"Do you know that?"

Click.

Xu Fenglei put down the teacup and frowned:

"Really?"

"Where did you hear that?"

Li Tai raised his eyebrows and said with some doubts:

"Can you know?"

"No, there have been rumors in the palace about this matter, there are several theories, some say that the eldest brother and Hou Jun are implicated in the rebellion, and some say that his foot disease is too serious to be qualified for the position of the prince, and some people even say that it is the imperial doctor who found out that he is unable to have children......"

"Anyway, there are a lot of rumors, and the child doesn't dare to inquire casually, so I came to you, Master, to verify it......"

Xu Fenglei: "......"

Boy.

The spread of rumors is always illogical and unreasonable.

To say that it has something to do with Hou Junji, or a foot disease, there is some basis, but what the hell is this 'prince can't have children'?

If it continues like this, won't the version of 'the prince become an inhumane eunuch' be passed on?

I'm afraid this will deal a big blow to Li Chengqian!

"I don't care where you heard the rumors, I just ask you, what are you asking for proof for?"

Xu Fenglei looked at Li Tai, his expression was slightly serious,

"Does the prince want to be dismissed, what does it have to do with you?"

"Why, do you feel that the position of the prince is about to be vacated, so you are tempted and want to fight?"

Li Tai's body was shocked.

"No, it's not...... Master, that's not what you mean! ”

He hurriedly said,

"The child is just a little curious, how dare he have that kind of idea......"

Xu Fenglei's face was expressionless.

"Really? It's best if you don't have it. ”

"Last time, the teacher didn't expose it to you, but helped you cover it up, and your father reluctantly let you go, so are you lucky?"

Li Tai's face turned red suddenly, and beads of sweat the size of beans came out of his forehead.

He was originally a fat man who was prone to sweating, and as soon as this tension was stressed, the sweat beads were all over his forehead in an instant!

Tick tock, tick tock!

Beads of sweat fell, and the atmosphere in the courtyard was extremely depressing.

Li Tai only felt that Xu Fenglei's coercion was like an invisible Mount Tai, and it was about to collapse him!

Poof!

"Master! Last time...... Last time, I was really bewitched by the apprentice, and the apprentice was confused, so this is ......"

Li Tai fell to his knees and tried his best to argue,

"It's really not ...... in vain"

"Alright." Xu Fenglei waved his hand and said, "Get up, the teacher also knows that your mind is not mature enough, so he was bewitched, so he chose to let you go, your father is also in the same mind, but——"

His gaze was fixed on Li Tai.

"This kind of thing, there is only one chance, and it will not give you a second chance."

"Those people who shouldn't be in a relationship, don't associate with them in the future, they have ghosts in their hearts, and they will only make you fall into the abyss, not help you rise, understand?"

Li Tai was still kneeling on the ground, nodding desperately!

"Yes, yes!"

"The apprentice understood, and the apprentice immediately cut off all contact with them and never communicated with them again!"

He made up his mind at this moment that when he went back, he would 'black' Wei Ting, Du Chuke, and all of them, and he would not let them step into his palace again!

Xu Fenglei nodded.

"If you know, it's good."

He gently helped Li Tai up, and said,

"Actually, the teacher can understand your mind, after all, that chair is indeed very tempting."

"But a man, you can't touch the forbidden things because of temptation."

"The flowers on the cliffs are bright, but can you pick them with your fat green finch?"

Li Tai's expression was slightly bitter, but he was relieved.

"Master, the apprentice understands."

He got up and whispered,

"The apprentice still thinks about it, that position is not something I can imagine."

"Whether the eldest brother abdicates or not, it has nothing to do with me."

"From now on, the apprentice will only make up books and don't think about these things anymore."

Xu Fenglei stroked Li Tai's head.

"You can think so, that's right."

"As a teacher, I might as well tell you a fact, that is-the throne has never been fought for, and it has never ended well when you drive a horse to fight, which is a truth that even the former Sui Yang Guang understands."

"What your father gave you is yours. If he doesn't give, you can't fight, you can't grab, and the more you fight, the farther away from that position. ”

"Because no emperor wants his son to be an unscrupulous bastard who kills his brother, especially the crown prince, he must have the quality of benevolence and filial piety."

"Other emperors are like this, not to mention your father, what kind of character he has, I think you should also understand, right?"

Li Tai chewed Xu Fenglei's words carefully, his expression soothed, as if he had understood.

"Fight is not to fight, not to fight is to fight."

Xu Fenglei said earnestly,

"You just have to do what you have to do well, and the rest of the things are up to God's will."

"With luck, you might be able to get closer to that position; Bad luck, you are still a prince, and you will not enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth. ”

"Can you understand that you are such a teacher?"

He didn't stop Li Tai's thoughts.

If a person is self-motivated and has certain conditions to go up, then he should not be stopped.

However, we have to be on the right path.

"Hmmm! Master, the apprentice understands thoroughly! ”

Li Tai clenched his fists, and his eyes were already bright.

Just listen to him:

"I don't think about all that nonsense anymore!"

"Master is right, as long as the apprentice listens to you, at least he is still a prince! As for the rest, I was lucky to have it, and I lost it! In fact, being a prince is good enough! Why be greedy and insufficient? ”

Xu Fenglei smiled at this time.

"That's right, that's right."

He patted Li Tai on the head and quipped,

"You kid is so lazy, you don't even want to lose weight, where can you be diligent?"

"Even if you become the emperor, you can't do it well! Unless you fix all these bad things! ”

"So be it! Today, you will have a vegan feast here for the teacher, which can be regarded as the first step to get rid of bad habits and improve yourself, okay? ”

Li Tai: "#¥%&......#¥#@"

In an instant, that fat face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum!

"Master, I think ...... Why don't you forget it? ”

"I won't transform, I won't improve, I'll just be a prince of pleasure......"

He cried out in distress and turned around to run.

But Xu Fenglei had already grabbed him, revealing a little sneer.

"Hmph, want to escape?"

"Today's vegan feast, you have to eat it if you don't eat it! Even if it's to give you a few more days of life! You fat sparrow! ”
