Li Xiu was going to say goodbye and leave, but he was actually afraid that Li Shimin would ask him about Hou Junji, after all, this is a troublesome matter, if it is said that he will be severely punished according to law, Li Shimin will definitely not be able to bear it, if he says that Hou Junji is released, it will violate the law of the imperial court, and Li Xiu has resigned now, so he doesn't want to get involved in this troubled water, but unfortunately he couldn't avoid it in the end.

"This ......" Hearing Li Shimin's inquiry, Li Xiu also showed a look of embarrassment, and after a while, he said very slipperily, "Your Majesty, although the minister has heard some inside information about this matter, because he is not in the court, he doesn't know much, so it's really not good to talk about it!" ”

Seeing Li Xiu find a reason to shirk, this made Li Shimin a little helpless, in fact, he also knew that this matter was very troublesome, so he wanted to hear Li Xiu's opinion, but he didn't expect that he was unwilling to express his opinion on this matter at all.

"Forget it, since you don't want to say it, then I won't be reluctant, but you should prepare for this time, and then go to Mount Tai with me to seal Zen!" Li Shimin waved his hand at the moment, and finally told him again, not only Li Xiu is going, but also the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and other important ministers are all going to go, after all, the Tang Dynasty can have today's prosperity, and it is also inseparable from the assistance of these ministers.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Seeing that Li Shimin didn't ask any more questions, Li Xiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately saluted the other party.

It was not early, Li Xiu also said goodbye and left, and the eldest grandson Wuji had nothing to do at this time, so he left with Li Xiu, and as soon as he left the palace, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly smiled and asked: "Don Ma, now that Your Majesty is not here, can you tell the truth, what do you think about Hou Junji?" ”

"How else can you look at it, Your Majesty will not bear to kill him, it is estimated that in the end, it will only be thunder and rain." In fact, in the original history, Li Shimin did not kill Hou Junji, but it was precisely because of this incident that Hou Junji had a grudge against Li Shimin, so he completely colluded with Li Chengqian.

However, although Li Xiu knew that not killing Hou Junji would enhance Li Chengqian's rebellious heart, he had no way, he couldn't directly persuade Li Shimin to let him kill Hou Junji, and told him that if he didn't kill Hou Junji, the other party would rebel with Li Chengqian in the future, right?

"The hero sees the same thing, I also see it this way, but His Majesty is also very embarrassed now, if he does not punish Hou Junji, it will definitely not conform to the law of the court, and some ministers in the court will not agree, but if it is punished according to the law, with the crime committed by Hou Junji, it is a capital crime, Your Majesty will definitely not be willing to do it, in my estimation, Your Majesty will definitely drag on for a while, and when the limelight passes, Hou Junji will be released." The eldest grandson Wuji also said with a smile at this time.

Hearing the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Xiu also nodded in agreement, the eldest grandson Wuji is worthy of being Li Shimin's friend for many years, he saw through the other party's thoughts at a glance, and even guessed the way to deal with Hou Junji, which is also where he is inferior to the eldest grandson Wuji.

"By the way, Hou Junji was unlucky this time, but he gave Su Dingfang a chance, now he is leading the army in Gaochang alone, and His Majesty is ready to set up the Anxi Protectorate there, with the situation in the Western Regions, I am afraid that Su Dingfang's army will not come back in a short time, this is a good time for him to show his strength." Suddenly, I only heard the eldest grandson Wuji speak again.

Hearing the eldest grandson Wuji mention Su Dingfang, Li Xiu couldn't help but be vigilant, and said very cautiously at the moment: "Dingfang did pick up a bargain this time, but he is square, and he doesn't like to collect money, even if he collected property in the previous war, he also gave it to his subordinates, this time he also suffered a lot of grievances with Hou Junji, and even Hou Junji forced him to accept some property before, fortunately he was able to keep his heart and quietly hand over these property, so he escaped a catastrophe, otherwise he may also be implicated." ”

"Haha~, don't worry about the horse, I just feel envious, Su Dingfang was just a prisoner at the beginning, but I didn't expect the horse to be wise and find such a talent from the prison, with Su Dingfang's current momentum, I'm afraid sooner or later he will become a famous general on an equal footing with Cheng Yanjin and others!" The eldest grandson Wuji also felt Li Xiu's vigilance, but at the moment he laughed and said, the relationship between him and Li Xiu is very peculiar, he said that he was a friend, but he was a little more guarded, saying that he was an opponent, but there was no fight, and even he himself sometimes couldn't understand this relationship.

"Brother Eldest Sun is polite, Su Dingfang can have today, it is also his own ability, I just gave him a chance to prove himself." Li Xiu couldn't tell the truth from the falsehood of the eldest grandson Wuji's words, and said vaguely at the moment.

While talking, the two also came to the place where the carriage stopped, so the two got into the carriage after saying goodbye, and then left the palace one after the other, Li Xiu did not stop in the city, but returned home directly, but he didn't expect that Ma Ye and Zhao Deyan were already waiting for him at home.

"I heard that His Majesty summoned you to the palace?" As soon as Li Xiu saw Ma Ye, the other party immediately asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty wants to go to Mount Tai to seal the Zen, so he summoned me to discuss." It is estimated that Li Shimin will announce it at the court meeting tomorrow, so Li Xiu did not hide it.

"Feng Zen?" Zhao Deyan next to him also showed a look of surprise when he heard it, but he quickly nodded and said, "With Your Majesty's merits, you have also met the conditions for sealing Zen, and the horses will definitely go with you then, right?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty plans to lead hundreds of officials to Mount Tai together, and it is estimated that this will also be a once-in-a-century event!" Li Xiu nodded and said, Feng Chan has not encountered such a thing once in hundreds of years, and now he can witness it with his own eyes, which makes Li Xiu very much looking forward to it.

"It's a pity, Deyan and I definitely won't be able to go!" However, as soon as Li Xiu's words fell, I saw that Ma Ye sighed at this time.

"Why?" Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Ma Ye's words, Zhao Deyan didn't want to say it for the time being, but Ma Ye was an important minister of the two dynasties, even if he only relied on his merit in charge of the Feinu Division, it was enough to go to Mount Tai together.

"You don't look at my age, how can you have the energy to follow Your Majesty to Mount Tai again? In addition, Deyan also has to go to Gaochang, and in the future, the center of gravity of Feinusi will also be tilted to the Western Regions, and I need to sit in Chang'an, and I don't have time to go to Mount Tai at all. Ma Ye smiled again at this time, at his age, many things have been seen, and he doesn't care very much about whether he goes to Mount Tai or not.

Hearing that Zhao Deyan was going to Gaochang, Li Xiu was also very surprised and asked: "Why does Brother Deyan suddenly want to leave, could it be that the Feinu Division's side has been rectified?" ”
