"All the generals of the Western Expedition will be imprisoned!"

The people of Chang'an did not wait for the triumphant army to return from the cross-horse parade through the streets, but waited for the news that all the generals of the Western Expedition were imprisoned, and for a while, the entire Chang'an City was in an uproar.

"As the saying goes, the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey cooks, and the birds are all good! This is an eternal truth, and I did not expect that even His Majesty today .................. it. An old man said in a deep voice.

"Fart, Your Majesty is in the prime of Spring and Autumn, far from being old and mediocre, where is the need to indiscriminately kill the founding heroes." Some people don't believe the Tao.

"That is, Hou Junji has just made the contribution of destroying the country, even if it is a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey, it will not be so urgent, but I heard that Hou Junji is very arrogant, and it is the generals of the Western Expedition who are imprisoned this time, so I think it must be on the way to the Western Expedition, and the generals have made a big mistake. This angered His Majesty. A wise man analyzed.

"What fault can be compared with the merit of destroying the country." Everyone speculated.

…………………………

The people of Chang'an speculated and talked about it one after another, and it wasn't until the real news came out that everyone was in an uproar.

"The generals of the Western Expedition plundered Gaochang!"

All the people are in an uproar, they are the most empathetic to the people at the bottom, whenever they suffer from a military disaster, they are the ones who are really injured, the so-called bandits are like combs, soldiers are like grates, and the military disasters are far more hateful than the bandits.

And the last time, ten years ago, Li Jing sent troops to the Turks, just acquiesced in the soldiers to rob the property, and was blamed by the government and the opposition for not participating, this time Hou Junji took the lead in looting Gaochang, and other generals followed suit, and its nature was even worse, no wonder Li Shimin was furious and directly imprisoned Hou Junji and other generals.

"Not all the generals of the Western Regions, Mo Jiazi did not participate in the looting." A merchant saw it with a discerning eye.

"Mo Jiazi!" Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then nodded as a matter of course, if others could do it without staining the mud, the people of Chang'an would naturally not believe it, but when they heard that the Mo family did not participate in the robbery, everyone did not hesitate to believe it, because the financial resources of Mojia Village naturally did not look down on Gaochang's money, let alone this kind of ill-gotten gain, which was against the concept of the Mo family.

The people are in an uproar, and in the court, there is an undercurrent and secrets, every time the war soldiers loot from time to time, this is an unavoidable thing, most of them are acquiescence, it is a way to gather the hearts of the army and motivate the soldiers, but the chief manager personally participated in the looting is the first time, the military can't help but secretly hate Hou Junji is really a money obsesser, and he would do such a thing, so that the rules that the military has always acquiesced to are directly exposed to the world.

"Your Majesty, the generals of the Western Expedition have just made the merit of destroying the country and returned triumphantly, although they are at fault, but the last general thinks that the flaws are not concealed, and I ask Your Majesty to punish them lightly." Xue Wanche pleaded with him, and his brother Xue Wanjun was also imprisoned, and he, as a younger brother, had to come forward to intercede.

The generals pleaded for him one after another, hoping to offset the merits and demerits and reduce the punishment.

"Never allow, merit is merit, transgression is transgression, merit is demerits, merit and demerits do not offset each other." Ma Jiayun hurriedly objected.

"Can't you even destroy the country?" Xue Wanche said angrily.

Ma Jiayun couldn't help but stagnate, the merit of destroying the country is the highest military achievement of the Tang Dynasty, and if he opposes it, I am afraid that he will really annoy the military.

Seeing this, Yu Zhining stepped forward to help him: "The merit of destroying the country is indeed a great feat, but Hou Junji is proud of his achievements, as a general, the general of the march, but he knows the law and violates the law, corrupts the military discipline of the Tang Dynasty, and his crime is added to one degree, I am afraid that the merit of destroying the country is not enough to make up for it." ”

Li Shimin's face couldn't help but change, he was most annoyed by Hou Junji's knowledge of the law and breaking the law, taking the lead in robbing Gaochang, if it was the behavior of individual soldiers, Li Shimin may not be so angry, but Hou Junji took the lead in violating military law and directly broke the military discipline of more than 100,000 troops, which is not allowed by any emperor.

Li Shimin didn't look at Gaochang's finances, what he really cared about was the 100,000 elite army, which was the foundation of Datang, once it rotted, the foundation of Datang might be in danger.

"You don't need to say any more, Hou Junji, as the chief of the marching road, took the lead in violating military regulations and betraying my trust, and he deserves it." Li Shimin snorted coldly and walked away.

The generals couldn't help but sigh, and immediately knew that Li Shimin was angry, and it was useless to persuade him.

"Vulgar Warrior!"

Many civil servants suddenly showed a smug smile, this is where most of the civil ministers look down on military generals, they act roughly, they don't understand etiquette, it's not that civil officials don't have moths, but even if civilian officials are corrupt, they will do everything possible to cover it up carefully, as long as they are not arrested and put in prison, all civil officials are blue sky masters.

Moreover, in recent years, the military generals have repeatedly destroyed the country, and they have been arrogant one by one, which is why Hou Junji has today's situation, and the civil officials just took advantage of this to destroy the prestige of the military generals.

In the prison, Hou Junji sat in the cell, even if he was in the cell, he still maintained his demeanor as a general, but in his heart, the anger had already burned.

Although he is in the prison, it does not affect Hou Junji's knowledge of the information outside the prison, as well as the movements of the court, the crime he committed to robbing Gaochang, according to the new rules in the army, it is to be killed, not to mention that they are even more aware of the law as a general, and the crime is added to the first degree, the government and the opposition have crusaded, and the emperor is furious.

The return of the merit of destroying the country was the most proud moment of his Hou Junji's life, and now he has become a prisoner, which has become the biggest laughing stock in the world, which makes the arrogant Hou Junji accept it.

"It's over! I knew ............ earlier. Niu Jinda said remorsefully.

He worked hard in the three states of the bureaucrats for five years, and only then did he get out of the way and get an opportunity to go west, which could have taken this opportunity to take the title to the next level, but unfortunately because of a little bit of wealth, his previous achievements were wasted.

The other generals also couldn't help but sigh, their faces were like ashes, this time, not to mention the credit, even whether they could save their lives was another matter.

"If it weren't for Hou Junji taking the lead in ............."

Suddenly, the generals couldn't help but focus on Hou Junji's body, and Xin Fang'er on the side noticed the generals' gaze, and couldn't help but snort angrily: "What are you worried about, we have just returned triumphantly from destroying the country, what is this fault?" In my opinion, His Majesty will let me out in the near future. ”

Hope rose in the hearts of the people.

However, as the days passed, His Majesty still had no intention of letting them out, and not many people had the intention of coming out at all, but the wave of civil officials impeaching them was rising day by day.

"It's still Mo Jiazi who is smart!" In the prison, the generals of the Western Expedition looked at each other, and suddenly found that all the generals of the Western Expedition were here, but there was only one person missing, and that was the Mo family.

Xin Fang'er's face suddenly changed, and she said with jealousy and hatred in her heart: "I don't think so, we are all in prison, why can the Mo family be alone, maybe I am waiting for today's prison disaster, or thanks to the Mo family." ”

Suddenly, the generals couldn't help but feel a little more thought in their hearts, although they all knew the reason why the Mo family did not participate in the robbery, they were in a big prison and were about to be killed, while the Mo family enjoyed glory and wealth outside, this gap made them can't help but have a seed of hatred in their hearts.

"Mo Jiazi!"

Hou Junji's eyes couldn't help but flash with a cold star.

In the midst of the chaos of the world, innocence may be a sin.
