Chapter 374: Hou Junji wants to rebel
Jia Yi's first reaction when he heard Hou Yong's words of righteous annihilation was that he felt inexplicable, but when a memory in his heart came to mind, his heart sank violently, judging from Hou Yong's reaction, he should have known that his father was going to rebel, otherwise he would not have won over him, a person who has a lot of popularity among many generals, during this time period.
It's just that Hou Yong also thinks that Hou Junji can really succeed in rebellion? Jia Yi has no way to ask this kind of thing, and he can't ask, in fact, whether Hou Junji rebels or not has nothing to do with him, if he can, he wants to stay out of the matter completely, but the relationship between Li Chengqian and Hou Junji is very close, if you want Li Chengqian not to be implicated in this matter, you must first separate Li Chengqian from Hou Junji.
This thing is not easy to do, one of Li Chengqian's daughters-in-law is Hou Junji's daughter, it is impossible for him to completely dissociate himself from Hou Junji, the best way at the moment is to let Li Chengqian personally expose Hou Junji's rebellion, but there is no evidence in their hands at all, just based on a guess, I believe that even if Li Chengqian says something, Li Er will not believe it.
The people standing in front of Jia Yi looked at the expressions on Jia's face that changed for a while, whether it was Li Chengqian or Hou Yong, they all felt a little inexplicable, I don't know what Jia Yi was thinking about at this moment, it was able to make the expression on his face so rich.
Hou Shixian, who was hiding behind Hou Yong, was full of worries about the change in the expression on Jia Yi's face, and had already told him before he came, as long as he could get Jia Yi's forgiveness, even if he wanted his little life, Hou Yong would not care too much, which made him realize for the first time that the identity of his grandson and grandson was not effective at all times.
"Jia Yi, what are you thinking about?" Seeing this, Li Chengqian asked directly.
"It's nothing, Hou Yong, since we are in the same military lineage, there are some things that I can do, I will definitely take action, I don't want this kind of thing to happen a second time, in addition, you look at it and give it a little expression, I still want the façade of the Hou Mansion."
This is already the maximum that Jia Yi can do, just let the Hou family have some blood, it can be regarded as a cheap death for them, if this is replaced by another family, not to mention let the Hou family die, how can it make the Hou family fall off a layer of skin.
Hou Yong was just about to express his gratitude to Jia Yi, but Jia Yi directly stretched out his hand to stop it, he has no problem here, it doesn't mean that the emperor won't talk about them, after all, Li Er, who is in Chang'an, knows everything that happens in each family, and Hou Yong has the opportunity to apologize to Jia Yi here, so it's better to save some spit and wait for the court to explain this matter to Li Er.
"I'm fine here, but Your Majesty must have known about this matter, I won't help you speak when you're in the court, as for how you face Your Majesty's questioning, you can go to this question yourself."
After saying that, Jia Yi issued an eviction order, and the current Houjia is a muddy pond, and it will not be a good thing for anyone to take the bait.
Hou Yong, who turned to leave, slapped Hou Shixian on the back of the head, almost patting Hou Shixian on the head, if it weren't for Hou Shixian, their relationship with the Jia family would definitely not be what it is now.
After Hou Yong left with Hou Shixian, Jia Yi looked at Li Chengqian, with a faint smile on his face, and said to Li Chengqian: "Chengqian, it's not that I don't want to accept their apologies in your face, it's really that I can't do this, I'm a big family, I don't want to be buried with them." ”
Jia Yi's words made Li Chengqian stunned on the spot, he didn't know why Jia Yi would say such harsh words.
"Cheng Qian, do you remember what General Hou did after he led people to destroy Gaochang last time?"
Recalling the war report at that time, it seems to say that Hou Junji embezzled a lot of property, so that after the army broke the city, he was not embarrassed to govern his subordinates, resulting in the army burning, killing and looting in Gaochang City, and even caused public resentment.
"Hou Junji came back with a big victory, didn't he just rob those Hu people of a little money."
"Grab some money? Hou Junji's income on the grassland is already very considerable, and he unceremoniously said that his family's money is as good as my family's, what do you think he wants so much money for a general? ”
Jia Yi's words have already been said to this point, if Li Chengqian didn't know what he meant in his words, he wouldn't have to be the prince.
After this idea popped up in his mind, Li Chengqian was suddenly stunned by his own thoughts, and looked at Jia Yi, opening his mouth wide and not knowing what to say.
"You're right, this is Hou Junji's plan, so I must draw a line with Hou Junji now, he is your father-in-law, you can't take it out of it no matter how you pick it, but you are Your Majesty's son, it doesn't matter if you are a little unclear, Your Majesty will give you a chance now, so what you have to do now is to stand firmly by Your Majesty's side and obey all your Majesty's arrangements, of course, after Hou Junji is arrested, you must intercede for him, I believe Your Majesty will not want to see your cold-blooded side."
Jia Yiyi shouldn't have said these words, but in the face of Li Chengqian's upcoming life crisis, he really couldn't bear to let Li Chengqian fall into it like this, if it were according to the development of history, after experiencing this incident, Li Chengqian would also plan to kill his father, and then he would really fall into a situation from which he could never recover, which is not what Jia Yi wanted to see.
"Cheng Qian, it won't be long before you become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and I will leave far away when the time comes, so I will tell you these words, I don't expect you to take care of me very generously after you become the emperor, I just hope that for the sake of me helping you, give me a piece of pure land, and let me reproduce my family quietly, okay?"
Now Jia Yi has completely stood behind Li Chengqian, and he spared no effort to give advice to Li Chengqian, but his wholehearted dedication is what he should do in the current Li Chengqian's view, and when he becomes the emperor, everything Jia Yi knows will become a bad influence that Li Chengqian is deeply worried about, so even though the current Li Chengqian does not have this idea, but after he really becomes the emperor, the first person he gets rid of is likely to be Jia Yi, the best friend in the past.
"I'm not going to do that."
For Li Chengqian's assurance, Jia Yi only gave a faint smile, he clearly knew what a person was most disgusted with when he became an emperor and enjoyed the pleasure of controlling the world, so he must take precautions now, the school he built was the last thing he helped Datang do, as for whether there would be a chance to work for Datang in the future, it depended on whether Li Chengqian could weigh the pros and cons between Jia Yi and fame.
Li Chengqian left, leaving with a lot of thoughts, this matter is about Hou Junji, and there is also about him Jia Yi, as for that more, Jia Yi doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know now, he just thinks that Jia Lu can grow up happily and the family can reproduce peacefully, which is enough.
It didn't take long for Li Er's thunderous anger to come from above the court, and Hou Junji's rebellion was finally like a mellow wine that had been brewing for a long time, exuding his alluring fragrance to the world.
The veteran Li Jing was dug out again, waving the army on the grassland, there was no war between the two sides, just a shaky confrontation, Hou Junji's family was all in Chang'an City, if he didn't want his family to be ruined, then surrender was his only way out.
On the one hand, it is the dream of perhaps being able to become an emperor, on the other hand, Li Jing's army has an expedition against him, even though Hou Junji has an extremely deep grudge against Li Er, he still clearly knows that his army on the grassland is not the opponent of the ** team at all, so he has no choice but to surrender and return to Chang'an City with deep sins.
Li Er, who learned of Hou Junji's rebellion, had an extremely deep anger towards Hou Junji at first, but after Hou Junji returned to Chang'an to die, he had a strong sadness towards Hou Junji, I really don't know which of his emotions is true and that kind of emotion is false.
When Jia Yi stood on the court and saw Hou Junji, he found that Hou Junji was still standing straight even if he was wearing a big clip, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with Li Er's sentence against him, but now that he has become a prisoner, even if there are many dissatisfactions, he can only agree.
No one thinks of interceding for Hou Junji, and no one will think about interceding for him, it is really a mistake he made that is too big, whoever intercedes will die, and no one will bury his family for a guy who only has some relationship with him.
The emperor's verdict was finally handed down after a long time, and the judgment of the whole clan was the same choice that the emperor made in the face of rebellion.
In the face of Li Er's verdict, Hou Junji had no surprises, but he said his request to Li Er at the last time, that is, to leave one of his sons, so that someone would sweep his grave in the future.
Li Er showed his benevolent side, and agreed to his request very happily, leaving Hou Yong behind.
Hou Junji died, he was beheaded very simply to show the public, and it would end like this if he taught the world to rebel, but Hou Yong, who was full of anger, did not dare to show the slightest, and finally left Chang'an with Hou Shixian holding Hou Junji's ashes.
