They were all maids of Tiance Mansion, so they naturally recognized Li Shimin's face.
However, today Li Shimin was not wearing a luxurious royal robe, but a white dragon fish suit, and came incognito.
"See Your Majesty."
"See Your Majesty."
The purple servants saluted one after another.
Li Shimin hummed slightly and his eyes fell on Xu Fenglei.
Xu Fenglei's expression was as usual, he also bowed and saluted:
"See Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, this is..."
Li Shimin sneered and waved his hands towards the surrounding soldiers.
The Xuanjia Army retreated quickly, and Zi Maid and the others also knew that His Majesty wanted to talk to their husband alone, so they all retreated wisely.
"The Taishi is so arrogant. He stepped into the Taiji Palace and didn't even come to see me, the emperor."
Li Shimin stood with his hands behind his back and said,
"Think about it, I am an ignorant and ignorant king, and I am not worthy of your audience. So I took the initiative to leave the city and pay a visit to you, this great sage."
Xu Fenglei smiled.
Naturally, he heard the strangeness and resentment in Li Shimin's words.
However, he didn't take it seriously.
"Why did your Majesty say this?"
Xu Fenglei asked back,
"A humble minister is just a small general, how can he be qualified to meet His Majesty?"
"A low-level official like Wei Chen, even if he is a capital official, can only take a look at His Majesty from a distance during the court meeting and catch a glimpse of your holy face. Let alone a sesame official who goes outside."
"So, it's not that I don't want to meet you, it's that I don't deserve it."
"If His Majesty takes the initiative to summon you, I will naturally be happy to do so."
Li Shimin: "#￥%...&*@!!!"
This kid's yin and yang skills are even better than him!
"Why do you want to be the Prime Minister? I have revoked that decree a long time ago and restored all your titles and official positions!"
Li Er couldn't hold back his anger and said displeasedly,
"Don't act crazy like me here!"
When Xu Fenglei heard this, he spread his hands with an innocent look on his face.
"Really? I don't know."
Li Shimin glared.
"Don't you know? Didn't I send someone to read the imperial edict to you?"
He said angrily,
"Didn't that eunuch come before you?"
"Also, I have another letter for you. Don't say you didn't receive it!"
Xu Fenglei took out his ears.
"Oh...it seems that there is such a thing."
He flicked off his earwax and said,
"Maybe I didn't hear it clearly at the time. Later, I was too busy with work in Jiuweishan, so I just focused on my work."
Li Shimin: "..."
I believe you!
It's not your kid who repairs graves every day. Your kid is just a manager at most. What a leisurely job that is!
Can you be busy?
Busy drinking tea with the mountain god of Jiuwei Mountain? Or do you want to fight with the landowner over there?
Li Shimin was furious when he saw Xu Fenglei's careless look.
But he still managed to be patient and said:
"well……"
"Before, just pretend you didn't know anything."
"Now that I have told you in person, you understand, right?"
"You don't need to go to Jiuwei Mountain. You can continue to be your grand master in Chang'an and take care of your Ministry of Works!"
"This is my latest imperial edict!"
These words are regarded as an imperial edict!
Let’s see if you want to pretend to be crazy or not!
Sure enough, when Xu Fenglei heard these words, his expression suddenly straightened.
"Your Majesty, I forgive you, but I cannot come back."
He handed it over.
Li Shimin's expression suddenly changed.
"What, you want to resist the order and disobey it?"
Li Er said angrily,
"Listen, my patience with you is already at its maximum. If it were an ordinary person, I would have punished you long ago!"
"If you keep doing this..."
At this moment, his fists were clenched.
"I have my reasons. There are dirty things in the court, and I don't like it."
Xu Fenglei raised his eyes and said,
"Whenever the court is clean, I will go back naturally without you having to tell me."
Li Shimin loosened his fist.
"You're still worrying about Hou Junji!"
He said sadly,
"Don't you know why I let him go?"
"He has already said that he wants to die on the battlefield. As a soldier, he wants to return his corpse wrapped in horse leather. This requirement..."
"Do you think I can refuse to agree?"
Xu Fenglei sneered.
"Did he die in the battle? I want to see the battle report that he died in the battle!"
He stretched out his hand directly.
Li Shimin was speechless for a moment.
How could he come up with this battle report?
Hou Junji indeed took the lead in the battle of Tuyuhun, but so far, the news about him is only about his military exploits and no death in battle...
"no?"
Xu Fenglei said unceremoniously,
"I have already seen through this person's heart!"
"He just wants to win sympathy and then go to the battlefield to make meritorious deeds!"
"When the time comes that he has achieved military exploits, Your Majesty will no longer have the heart to kill him, and he will be able to successfully clear his name and come ashore, and enjoy glory and wealth again!"
"I can see through this little trick, but your Majesty can't you?"
Li Shimin was silent.
"Whether you believe it or not, at that time, I really believed it..."
He whispered,
"I'm just respecting a veteran's last wish."
"After all, he has gone through life and death for me, so I can't be too ruthless."
Xu Fenglei still sneered.
"But Your Majesty should also know that that is not his last wish, but the beginning of his rebirth."
"Now, he is considered successful."
"Your Majesty, I just want to ask you one thing - if he comes back from the Tuyuhun battlefield with military exploits, what will your Majesty do?"
"Should the merits outweigh the demerits, should he be acquitted and his title reinstated? Or should the merits outweigh the demerits, and he should be imprisoned again?"
"Or is there any other option?"
Li Shimin: "..."
He really hadn't thought much about this.
"I can't give you an answer now."
Xu Fenglei nodded.
"Then there's nothing to talk about."
He said,
"This is within my expectation, so I want to go back to Jiuyi Mountain."
"Out of sight is out of mind. In order not to embarrass Your Majesty, I'd better go to the mountains. Otherwise, I don't know what drastic things I will do again, and it will make Your Majesty worried when the time comes. That won't be good. "
"Farewell, Your Majesty."
Having said that, Xu Fenglei had already stepped onto the carriage.
Wu Erya poked his head out curiously and looked at the most powerful man in the Tang Dynasty.
He was frowning, as if he was troubled.
"Daddy, you seem to have posed a problem for the emperor."
Xu Fenglei touched her head.
"It's not difficult, not difficult at all."
He said softly,
"Let's go."
Li Shimin suddenly clenched his fists and shouted at Xu Fenglei:
"Listen clearly, I will give you a satisfactory result!"
Xu Fenglei turned his head slightly, saluted Li Shimin again, and said:
"Then thank you Your Majesty."
"Before that, I will definitely repair the imperial tomb for you. That is also an important job for you."
"Goodbye."
After that, he urged the driver and the wheels slowly drove away.
Li Shimin was left alone, watching the carriage go away...
