Seeing Li Junxian walking out of the barracks, Li Chengqian turned his face and looked at the party leaders, and asked domineeringly, "Do you have anything else?"

At this time, the matter of Li Shimin's summoning of the leaders of the various departments was over, but the leaders of the various party departments were still on the spot, and they were still waiting for Li Shimin to give him an answer.

When Li Chengqian spoke in this tone, he was announcing to the ministers that King Gu was in a very bad mood now.

The ministers did not speak until the matter became clear, but it was still evident from their faces that they had different attitudes.

The ministers who had a favorable impression of Li Chengqian all showed worried expressions at this moment, and the faces of those who jointly admonished and opposed the military actions of various ministries showed joy.

The leaders of the party departments had a feeling of eating.

looked at Li Chengqian, who had a domineering face, and said in his heart: Those who have the ability to deal with you Datang.

Of course, no one dared to say this, not only did they not dare to say such things, but they also carefully explained to Li Chengqi.

Tuoba Chici, who was long and tiger-backed, bent down and bowed his head with a smile on his face: "The ministers are asking Your Majesty if the unruly children of the clan can not participate in the martial arts, after all, the Yeli Lai gang has already made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince angry." ”

Li Chengqian knew that if he agreed, all the sons of their clan would be uncontentious.

But Li Chengqian still felt that he should be given a chance to choose, turned to look at the Tang Dynasty official who was still standing in the middle, and said: "The people to be summoned by the Tang Dynasty martial arts are all warriors from various departments, and even if the rogue children of your clan participate, they may not be able to win the promotion. ”

When Li Chengqian said this, the leaders of the party departments immediately rejoiced in their hearts and wanted to thank them.

But he saw Li Chengqian turn around and look at them and said: "But you have to think clearly, if the people selected by the various military forces are Turkic and Zhaowu nine surnames and even some other small tribe young warriors, in short, without the people of your party, can you still survive here?"

Yes! Tuoba Chizi was stunned when he heard this.

Li Chengqian said lightly: "Stand down!" ”

The party leaders slowly retreated, and Li Chengqian turned to look at the courtiers who were still standing in the middle.

Smart people have already reacted, your party members are unwilling to work for Datang, so can Datang still protect you?

At this time, many Tang courtiers felt that Li Chengqian's policy should be beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, and looking at the people who stood in the middle and vigorously opposed the military movement, and even did not hesitate to provoke the soldiers to make trouble, their intentions seemed to be not so pure.

Some ministers who already had a good impression of Li Chengqian were ready to speak for Li Chengqian later, but they saw Li Junxian walking back alone with his head down.

Li Junxian walked to the middle and knelt down on his knees again and said directly: "The minister is guilty!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, the people who were not involved in this matter saw that Hou Junji came to help Li Junxian and others menacingly, and they all knew that he must be prepared.

And the people who stood in the middle and waited for Li Shimin to announce the cancellation of the martial arts were even more frightened, only they knew how well prepared they were......

"What are your sins?" The frightened Hou Junji shouted loudly, he had no choice but to do anything else.

"Lu Guogong, you don't have to worry, let him speak slowly." Li Chengqian said slowly.

Hou Junji turned his head to Li Chengqian's murderous eyes, and his heart was cold.

Last year, Hou Junji wanted to help Li Chengqian rebel and then he became Cao Cao, but because Li Chengqian crossed over, he cut off contact with him, and guarded against him everywhere.

Hou Junji didn't know it, he thought that Li Chengqian was a qualified monarch, and he would be wary of any courtier who was not subservient, and it was impossible for someone like Hou Junji to do anything under him.

Because Hou Junji was suppressed by Li Shimin, he dared to go around telling people that he was going to rebel, and he was even faster to get rid of Li Chengqian, he never thought about what Li Shimin and Li Chengqian could do to him.

But at this time, he just wanted to get out of this muddy water, return to Chang'an, resign from all official positions for retirement, burn incense and worship the Buddha, and begged Li Chengqian to forget him.

Of course, this was his whim-of-the-moment thought.

Li Shimin, who was sitting at the top, was also very curious, what happened to Li Junxian that made him kneel down and ask lightly: "The Qing family went to look for the soldiers in the army who opposed martial arts, why did they come back alone?"

Li Junxian lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Li Shimin, and said in a low voice: "Minister, the minister has not found any soldiers who oppose the martial arts. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers standing on both sides understood it in their hearts, and after quietly taking a look at Li Chengqian, they continued to pretend to be dead.

But the people standing in the middle were all shocked on the outside and tender on the inside, and only after a while did they turn their heads with difficulty and look at Li Chengqian in fear.

It's not that they're stupid, it's that they hold on to hope and don't want to despair until the end.

"Didn't find it?" Li Shimin couldn't believe that they had been preparing for so long and were so cleanly resolved by Li Chengqian?

Li Chengqian felt everyone's gaze, a bright smile appeared on his face again, and he gently moved out and bowed to Li Shimin and said, "Father Qi, the son brought some lieutenant generals and colonels who opposed martial arts before. ”

Before Li Shimin could speak, Hou Junji said angrily: "It turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrested all the dissidents in the army!" ”

Don't look at this sentence very directly, it seems to expose the essence of Li Chengqian, but in fact, it is still provoking the relationship between Li Shimin and Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian smiled faintly when he heard this: "They want to see their father, and King Gu naturally brought them here, so why talk about arresting them?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian, and then looked at Hou Junji, Li Junxian and the others, and said lightly: "Then send them in." ”

"Yes!" Li Chengqian bowed, and Liu Kui turned around and went out.

After a while, Liu Kui and Li Shiji walked to the gate of the camp with more than 100 soldiers, and Liu Kui and Li Shiji walked into the camp together. After saluting Li Shimin, Li Shiji made it clear to Li Shimin that some soldiers had exposed Li Junxian's conspiracy to incite the soldiers to oppose the military move and launch a military admonition.

Li Shimin looked at the witnesses outside the camp and knew that what Li Shiji said was true, and looked at Hou Junji and the others with sharp eyes.

Seeing this, Hou Junji hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, the minister, the minister, the minister knows nothing about this!" ”

"Hmph, you didn't act like you didn't know anything!" Li Chengqian said sarcastically, he really wanted to take down this group of people.

Hearing this, Hou Junji and the others couldn't help but turn around and look at Li Chengqian.

Just when everyone thought that they were going to start a war of words, they suddenly heard Pei Xingjian, who was standing behind, shouting: "Protect His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Wang Fangyi and Cheng Wuting, who were originally standing in the back, walked quickly to Li Chengqian's side, and looked at Hou Junji and the others standing in the middle with wary eyes, as if they were guarding against them from hurting people.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian also took a few steps back, looked at Hou Jun in horror and said, "If you dare to commit a crime, Duke Luguo, you will punish the Nine Clans." ”

Li Shimin and the ministers were stunned at first, but then looked at Hou Junji and the others angrily.

Standing behind, Li Daliang, Zhang Shigui, Su Dingfang, Pei Xingjian and others walked in front of Li Chengqian more quickly, separating him from Hou Junji and others in case of accidents.

And Wei Chigong and Xue Wanche, who had been standing in front of the throne, pulled out their swords, and the other generals also walked to the other side and faintly surrounded Hou Junji and others in the core.

These things happened only a few breaths of time, and Hou Junji and the others were already surrounded before they understood what was going on.

When I figured out what was going on, I wanted to explain to Li Shimin, but I saw Li Shimin's face like the bottom of a pot gritting his teeth and saying, "Do you want to do anything bad in front of me?"

Seeing this, Hou Junji and the others knew that they couldn't argue, so they had to kneel down and weep and said: "Your Majesty's ministers have no bad intentions......"

"Humph!" Li Shimin obviously didn't want to believe him.

The ministers present don't believe him either, if you don't have a bad heart, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be so nervous?

This is a logical blind spot, if a child goes home and tells his parents that he was bullied by a bad uncle, the parents may not believe it when they see that the child is not injured or in pain.

If he walked out into the street with the child and saw the evil uncle coming, the two sides greeted each other, and the child was so frightened that he hid behind the parents and shivered.

No matter how amiable the evil uncle is, the parents will be suspicious of the evil uncle bullying our children, and the parents have to ask if the children don't say it.

Li Chengqian's performance just now was like a frightened child, Hou Junjize, that evil uncle.

Li Chengqian was wounded in the foot, and Hou Junji and other generals definitely had the ability to rise up and kill Li Chengqian.

Li Shimin didn't look at Hou Junji and the others who were crying on the ground, and directly ordered: "Take it!" ”8)
