According to the confessions of those Goguryeo people, it has not been a day or two that these big families have had dealings with Goguryeo, and if they are punished according to the Tang law, they will be guilty of collaborating with the enemy and will have their homes raided.

But these big families have been deeply rooted in the country, if they start rashly, they are afraid that they will provoke turmoil in the court and the people will be uneasy, so they asked the emperor.

"They are only trading with other countries, not collaborating with the enemy, so they will be punished according to the law!" After thinking for a while, Li Er said helplessly.

These families are like a fish in the throat, but they can't be uprooted yet.

The Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo have not yet started a war, but they are not considered enemy countries, and in desperation, they can only be convicted of trading with other countries first, and a fine of money can be counted.

"What about those Baekje people?" Dali Siqing looked at the emperor's face and continued to ask, "According to the confession, they just want to cooperate with Goguryeo and infiltrate our dynasty to learn farming and textile technology, and they are not hostile. ”

Although Baekje is only a small country, if he takes the liberty of dealing with it, he is afraid that it will bring unnecessary trouble to Chang'an, so after thinking about it, it is better to ask for the holy will.

"All of them were cut down for me, killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, I was in the court, how could they say that they would blend in?" Li Er said angrily.

He didn't believe these words, if it was really just to learn, then just send an envoy, why be so sneaky.

"Yes"

"Also, I have already asked Wang De to take Qianniu Wei to arrest Hou Junji to Dali Temple, you two will take care of it."

Li Er grabbed the file just now again and looked at it carefully.

"Obey."

"Obey."

"Alright, let's go down!" Li Er lowered his head and waved his hand.

The two of them received the order and bowed to leave.

......

"Wang De, what are you doing, are you crazy?"

"Let go of me, I'm the Duke of Luguo......!"

"I want to see the emperor's ......!"

In the prison of Dali Temple, in the frantic shouts of Hou Junji, more than a dozen Qianniu guards pressed him to the ground and pulled out his official uniform, leaving only a white underwear.

"Duke Luguo, don't blame our family, our family is just acting on orders."

Wang De waved his hand, and the dozen or so Qianniu guards pushed Hou Junji into death row.

As the door of death row closed, Wang De was about to turn around and go back to the errand.

"Father-in-law, you must have arrested the wrong person, the emperor can't arrest me, I'm the Duke of Luguo!"

Hou Junji grabbed the iron door of the cell with both hands and quickly stopped him.

"Don't worry, it's impossible for a small one to catch the wrong person, this is Your Majesty's will." Wang De shook his head.

After all, this is the founding hero, when he is the prince of the dynasty and the commander of the military department, even if he is in prison now, he does not dare to offend easily, and he has to go back if he should go back.

"Then dare to ask my father-in-law, on what charges did the emperor arrest me?"

Hou Junji hasn't come back to his senses until now, he is taking a nap at home, why was he taken to death row by Qianniuwei for no apparent reason.

The emperor's Qianniuwei is easy not to use, once it is used, things must not be simple.

But he didn't understand which law he had violated.

"Did you send someone to grab the potatoes from Zhao Yuma's house yesterday morning?"

Wang De saw that Hou Junji never understood what was wrong, and he kept asking himself, so he had to tell the truth.

"What colt? Who is a colt? ”

Hou Junji, who heard this, was even more confused, all the princesses have not yet married, where did a Zhao concubine come from.

"It's Zhao Yin who grows potatoes, Zhao Yuma." Wang De came to Hou Junji's side and said in a low voice: "Zhao Yin and Zhao Gongzi are His Majesty's favorite candidates, and the marriage should be in these days." ”

"What do you mean...... Is it the one outside the city who grows potatoes? Hou Junji was surprised that he could stuff an egg in his mouth.

In any case, he never thought that such a yellow-haired boy could be the future colt.

But Wang De follows the emperor all day long, and he categorically will not talk nonsense.

"Yes, it's ...... him" Wang De nodded and kindly reminded, "Guogong can't underestimate him, he is not a hot master." ”

He has seen with his own eyes that Zhao Yin's eldest grandson Wuji, who almost cheated, went bankrupt, and he made the emperor angry, and dared to tease the princess in front of the emperor.

But in the end, not only was he not convicted, but he was also rewarded.

Even the emperor can't help him, what is a Duke of Luguo!

"Even if he is a colt, what can I do, I just grabbed a few potatoes, and the emperor doesn't miss the old feelings, ......does he want to cut off my head?"

Wang De didn't say that it was okay, but after he finished speaking, Hou Junji was even more angry.

He made great contributions to the emperor at the beginning, but now he is not as good as a few potatoes?

Then Zhao Yin's family has at least a few hundred acres of potatoes, I just took a few, can he still eat poverty?

In his opinion, it's just a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey.

"This ...... Those of us who are subordinates don't know. ”

Wang De saw that he had begun to resentful of the emperor, so he hurriedly guarded his mouth and stopped talking.

He kindly wanted to remind Hou Jun to gather it, but he didn't expect that he not only didn't go to the Tao, but also resented His Majesty in turn.

If the emperor knows about this matter, he will be implicated himself.

Just shut up and stop meddling with these things, anyway, he is not the one who is on death row.

"If Grandpa Guo is fine, the little one will go back to restore the emperor's life." Wang De said impatiently.

"Okay, go back, and tell the emperor by the way, I'm not convinced." Hou Junji turned around angrily and waved his hand at Wang De.

"Yes, don't worry."

Wang De glanced at his back and turned to leave.

After leaving the cell of Dali Temple, Wang De breathed in the air, pinched his orchid fingers, and fanned the wind in disgust, "The smell in this is really disgusting." ”

After Hou Junji waited for Wang De to leave, he sat on the ground, sighed, and complained, "I thought that I Hou Junji had been beautiful for half my life, but in the end, I ended up like this." ”

Didn't you just grab a few hundred catties of potatoes? As for being put on death row by the emperor?

When he was born and died for Li Er, he never said a word, and now he is not as good as a stinky kid.

"Lu Guogong beware, ...... trouble comes from his mouth?"

Hou Junji turned around when he heard the sound, and saw that it was Dai Zhou who walked in from outside, quickly got up from the ground, and said dissatisfiedly: "You came just in time, give me a comment, I will rob that kid of a few hundred catties of potatoes, and the emperor will cut off my head......!" ”

"Lu Guogong, do you know what the output value of potatoes per mu is?" Dai Zhou didn't answer him, but asked.

"How much?" Hou Junji is a little unclear.

"Four thousand pounds." Dai Xuan stretched out four fingers and said proudly.

"What? How many of them? Then I robbed these hundreds of catties even more a dime, if the emperor thinks I'm old and wants to get rid of me, he has to find a decent reason, this is obviously insulting me! ”

After listening to Dai Guan's words, Hou Junji became even more sad and indignant.

He just thought that this potato was a rare variety with a yield of several per mu, but he didn't expect it to be such an ordinary thing.

Because something like this is dead, it's not worth it.
