PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

Shangshu Province is located in the Taiji Palace, after entering the Chengtianmen and Taijimen, turn to the right, sandwiched between the Sherenyuan and the Hongwenguan, while the Zhongshu and Menxia provinces are located on the left side of the Taiji Gate.

This belongs to the periphery of the Taiji Palace, there are more errands and officials who come and go, and there are relatively few eunuchs and palace maids, and the real forbidden palace range refers to the starting point from the Taiji Palace, passing through the Liangyi, Manna, Chengxiang and other halls located on the meridian, that is Li Shimin's private residence, except for Li Shimin, but where the man with the handle dares to trespass, the end is probably cut off first and then beheaded.

After the Shangyuan Festival, the fifteenth year of Zhenguan is officially started, and Li Su has started the new year with his fingers in vain.

Early in the morning, Li Sushi Shiran walked into Shangshu Province, and met many courtiers on the way, from the six Shangshu to the official Langguan, Li Sujun smiled one by one and bowed, and others also returned the salute politely, and the atmosphere was harmonious and friendly.

Walking into Shangshu Province, according to the usual practice, Li Su advanced to the Lizheng Hall where Fang Xuanling worked, and first greeted the famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, Fang Xuanling put aside his official duties, pulled Li Su to smile and talked a few words of homely things, and the words revealed a sense of affection, and kept asking Li Su to walk around the Fang family, and by the way, he also had more contacts with the second boy who was not angry with his family, hoping that the second boy would get some aura from Li Su, and it would not become a pro and make the second old man upset......

After some gossip, Li Su returned to the side pavilion of the Lizheng Palace, where was his position, a low table more than two feet long, with a sparse ruler on the desk, and all the pen and ink, this position happened to be outside the side hall of Fang Xuanling's office. It is faster and easier to pick up the express.

As soon as he sat down, there were palace people serving the courtiers to serve tea, which was a roasted tea exclusively created by Li Su, and this method of direct brewing of boiling water was shameful by Fang Xuanling and others at the beginning, thinking that it was too vulgar and vulgar, and it was not elegant and had no connotation. It's just that the tea brewed out of the room was full of fragrance, Fang Xuanling and the others finally couldn't help it after enduring it for a few days, and tried to ask for some tea brewing from Li Su, and gradually, now the courtiers in the entire Shangshu Province have begun to get used to drinking this kind of vulgar and vulgar tea, and they are enjoying it.

Taking two sips of the teacup, Li Su unhurriedly opened the note on the case, and before he could classify it, he saw a eunuch hurriedly walking into the hall. nodded to Li Su first, and then went straight to see Fang Xuanling.

It didn't take long for the eunuch to leave in a hurry, and Fang Xuanling walked out of the hall with a complicated expression.

Li Su hurriedly got up and saluted, Fang Xuanling nodded lightly, and then sighed.

Pointing to the back of the eunuch who left in a hurry, Fang Xuanling said: "Just now the Taiji Palace came to the will, and His Majesty is going to dispose of Hou Junji......"

Li Su's heart tightened. But I still endured it and didn't make a sound.

Fang Xuanling then sighed: "Counting the time, it's almost time to dispose of it." If it drags on any longer, not only will the movements of the envoys of Fanbang become more and more noisy, but even the courtiers will be really uneasy. ”

Li Su finally couldn't help but say, "Fang Xiang, I don't know what Your Majesty plans to do with General Hou?" ”

Fang Xuanling was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "Cut the lord, dismiss the official." Two thousand miles. ”

Li Su was a little surprised: "This ...... It's not that serious, is it? ”

It's not that Li Su is cold-blooded, it's really like this kind of atmosphere in the Tang Dynasty army today, just like Hou Junji's complaint in prison, the generals of the Tang Dynasty attacked the city and pulled out the village, bleeding desperately. After capturing the city, almost all the slaughter and looting of the city occurred, and the commanders of the leading army usually turned a blind eye, and the class master could also get the reward of His Majesty the Emperor and the cheers of the people after returning to the court, the so-called "non-my race", these four words were engraved very clearly in the hearts of the Tang Dynasty monarchs and the people.

What other generals can do, Hou Junji did it but ended up like this, no wonder Li Su was surprised.

Fang Xuanling's expression was a little complicated, compared to Hou Junji's not very good popularity in the court, Li Su roughly understood why Fang Xuanling had such an expression at the moment.

With a long sigh, Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "After all, he is a member of the Tang Dynasty, and His Majesty's punishment is really heavy, but ...... Today is different from the past, the Gaochang massacre is too bad, so many state envoys are staring at Your Majesty, if Your Majesty does not punish Hou Junji heavily, the countries of the Western Regions are afraid that there will be chaos, in the final analysis, this is what Your Majesty did for them to see. ”

Li Su's eyelids jumped.

He found that the current situation is out of touch with the original historical trajectory, although the historical Hou Junji was also punished for the Gaochang massacre and looting, but it is by no means so serious, perhaps in this life because of his relationship with the defense of Xizhou, it has disrupted some kind of balance in the dark......

"Fang Xiang, can we beg Your Majesty to take back your fate? Or...... It's okay to be lighter, for the sake of a few envoys from Fanbang to destroy a general of my Datang, it will inevitably make the relatives painful and the enemies happy, and the lower officials think it's not appropriate. ”

Fang Xuanling shook his head with a wry smile: "Your Majesty is arbitrary, what you have decided is difficult to change, and Zizheng still doesn't want to touch the mold." ”

Li Su hesitated for a while, and finally sighed.

For Hou Junji, Li Su can't say sympathy or contempt, Gaochang slaughtered the city is a fact, three days and three nights killed countless Gaochang subjects, creating heinous killings, saying sympathy, there is probably still a kind of rabbit death fox sad feelings, not only Li Su himself, he believes that including Fang Xuanling, Cheng Biting Jin, Li Jing These famous ministers and generals have a little bit of this feeling in their hearts.

On the premise of not implicating himself, Li Su is willing to do something for Hou Junji, such as persuasion, pleading with the king, etc., no matter what, Li Su is already a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, so he can only speak and do things from the perspective of the Tang Dynasty, and the removal and exile of Hou Junji is equivalent to a tiger will be lost in the hands of the Tang Dynasty itself.

But Fang Xuanling's words made Li Su temporarily dispel his mind, since Li Shimin sent eunuchs to Shangshu Province to inform the ministers of his decision, it means that this matter cannot be changed, Li Su wants to save Hou Junji, but there is also a bottom line to save it, if you put yourself in, learn from Wei Zheng, and challenge the limit of survival, this ...... Li Su couldn't do it.

…………

After sighing a few times with Fang Xuanling, Fang Xuanling returned to the hall to continue to deal with state affairs, while Li Su also sat down in the side pavilion and continued to pick and play.

In the afternoon, the sky was overcast again, and it was faintly visible that the sky began to snow again, this year's weather was a bit evil, and it was snowing after the Shangyuan Festival, which was really not a good sign for the farmers in the states and prefectures of Datang.

The day's work was almost finished, Li Su sat up straight, stretched his waist, and then held his chin and looked out of the hall in a daze, waiting to clock out of work.

Outside the hall, the cold wind howled, and the sky became more and more gloomy, and it was clear that a heavy snow was about to fall.

A short figure appeared in Li Su's line of sight when he was in a daze.

The figure is very thin and small, like a sugar cane that has not grown, and the threshold of the Lizheng Palace, which is more than a foot high, can not be crossed, and the thin little hands support the threshold, as if climbing over the wall, it seems to have a sense of accomplishment after turning over, while patting the dust on his hands, he looks back and grins.

Li Su also smiled.

The person who came was a child, a little girl, wearing a very gorgeous little palace dress, her face was a little sickly sallow, dry and thin, but her eyes were very smart and very cute.

Li Su smiled and beckoned to her, "Hey, which girl's daughter are you, why did you come here?" ”

The little girl seemed a little shy, hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward, first glanced at Li Su curiously, and then politely bent down and bowed, and said, "Mingda has seen this cousin......

After a pause, when the little girl looked up at Li Su, her clear and smart eyes were suddenly filled with tears, her nose began to twitch, and then her mouth deflated and she cried.

"Mingda...... Playing in the palace, playing, just naughty hiding in the unknown palace, throwing off the eunuchs, and then, then, I got lost...... Woo woo, I want to see my father's ......"
