Sun Fujia solved the matter in a few words, Wu Yuanqing was comfortable, and the feeling of being splashed with dirty water was too disgusting.

Wei Ting didn't get well because of this matter, and the emperor called him over to explain why the price of timber in Sinong Temple was very high, Wei Ting, there was nothing to say, but the emperor didn't spare him, and said Wei Ting very unceremoniously: "Your knowledge is far inferior to Sun Fujia."

Hearing this news, Wu Yuanqing felt more comfortable.

Yaya, let you pour dirty water on Lao Tzu, now you are disgusted by the emperor, you deserve it.

Wu Yuanqing continued to live a comfortable life at home with his wife and children on the hot kang, and part of the army of the expedition to the Western Regions had begun to return to Chang'an.

Who is the cutest person?

Of course, it is the soldiers who defend the country and expand the territory.

The Tang Dynasty has never treated meritorious people lightly, whether they are soldiers or generals.

But when Hou Junji traveled thousands of miles with his army and returned to Chang'an in December, what awaited him was not a reward.

On the fifth day of the first month, the emperor held a feast, and Hou Junji personally pressed Ju Zhisheng, the king of Gaochang, and other kings of small countries in the Western Regions, as well as ministers and nobles to come to the Guande Palace.

Sacrifice of prisoners.

The normal gift of prisoners should be outside the city, the emperor with hundreds of officials to greet the triumphant army and then accept the prisoners of the soldiers, and then perform the gift of reward, or directly in the temple to show the ancestors and ancestors of the war exploits.

However, the soldiers led by Hou Junji did not enjoy the treatment that such a triumphant hero should enjoy.

Li Shimin wanted to greet him outside the Xuanwu Gate, but the civil officials collectively wrote against it, and Li Shimin, the emperor, could not be tough under the excitement of the crowd.

If he insisted on meeting the army at Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin felt that most of the bold civil officials would dare to refuse to meet him.

The civil officials of the Tang Dynasty, especially these important ministers now, are all bold people, who were able to force Li Shimin to take back the imperial order of dividing the assassination history, and now they also dare not follow the emperor to meet the army, and if they don't go, they won't go.

If that's the case, Li Shimin feels that he is still losing his face.

So after thinking about it, forget it, let's compromise for the time being.

Hou Junji will compensate them after they have been wronged.

Li Shimin thought very well, but he didn't expect that the civil officials didn't plan to forget it this time.

The feast was celebrated for three days, and although the civil officials all participated, they were like their dead fathers, and they didn't look like they were celebrating at all.

It was when the emperor appointed Ju Zhisheng as the general of Zuo Wuwei and the prince of Jincheng County that the civil officials showed a smile.

Then, two days after the celebration, a scholar of the Imperial History Observatory impeached Hou Junji for embezzling ink and seizing property, and connived at his subordinates to loot and conceal the seized gold and silver property.

There is no problem with the impeachment of this matter, after all, it is an army of more than 200,000 people, and the management is definitely not easy to manage, conquer the city and conquer the land, destroy dozens of countries, although the countries of the Western Regions are small, but the royal family is also very rich, especially in the countries of the Western Regions on the Silk Road, it is even richer, and the palaces are all splendid.

Everything is made of gold, as if they were not like that, they would not be rich. When the soldiers saw it, they would naturally rob it, which no army could avoid at any time.

In some cases, some generals will even give orders to allow their soldiers to loot for a few days. Datang This is already very good, there are military regulations that stipulate that seized property must be handed over, and then rewarded according to military exploits.

But there are policies and countermeasures. If the people below don't turn it in, and the hidden ones haven't been discovered, the people above will turn a blind eye to it, and no one will have to investigate and must hand over all the soldiers.

In that case, it will be all the soldiers who will be offended, and no one who will lead the troops will do that.

Therefore, the impeachment of the imperial history is a fact, Hou Junji did get a lot of treasures from the royal families of various countries and took possession of them, and there were indeed many hidden and seized treasures that were not handed over.

But the right impeachment does not mean that the crime must be punished.

This is ancient times, not the period of Zhu Yuanzhang or the period of fighting tigers in the 21st century.

In China's thousands of years of feudal history, there are absolutely not too many officials who have been punished for being guilty of being greedy for ink, and the people who are punished for the crime of greedy ink are often just crimes, but the real cause of the crime is others, either offending people, or standing in the wrong line, and political problems are the key reasons for their crimes.

This is still a lower-level official, and there are not many middle and senior officials who have been punished for being greedy for ink, and there are even fewer of the generals who have been punished for corruption of ink and other issues, and those who have been punished are definitely not because of greed for ink, but because the emperor is not pleasing to the eye, or the political enemy is doing it.

The matter of Hou Junji is not a big deal at all, if it is put in the usual imperial history to impeach the emperor, he will definitely not pay much attention to it, at most Hou Junji will be over.

However, this impeachment of the imperial history was not only because of the problem of greed for ink, but also because the civilian officials expressed their dissatisfaction with the countless wars that sent troops to Gaochang and destroyed the country in what they considered unjust.

They couldn't do anything with the emperor, so they targeted military giants like Hou Junji, who led the troops to the battle.

So the impeachment of the imperial history is just a prelude, an introduction.

Just after the impeachment in the imperial history book, the impeachment of the Manchu civil officials immediately after it flew to the emperor's desk like snowflakes.

They not only impeached Hou Junji, but also impeached Xue Wanjun, the deputy governor, saying that Xue Wanjun had fornicated with a Gaochang woman, misbehaved and insulted the national body.

There is also the impeachment of Liu Demin, the head of the marching army, Pingyuan County, saying that he flattered Shangguan, the reason is that when he was in the Western Regions, because it was summer, poisonous insects were everywhere, Hou Junji was bitten by insects on the forehead of the horse, Liu Demin dipped pus with his fingers, and smelled its foul smell with his nose, which in the reasonable view Liu Demin did this very right, insect bites can suppurate, and also bite horses with rough skin and thick flesh, if the bite is more serious.

As a general with troops, it is normal to smell whether the pus is a foul smell and whether it is particularly serious.

But the civilian officials are now not impeached at all because the generals are wrong, but because they are corrected by impeachment.

They don't care if the impeachment is right or not, anyway, I'm going to impeach you, and you have to impeach if there's nothing wrong with it, let alone if it looks like a problem, and even more so you want to be impeached.

The collective targeting of civilian officials has always made the military noisy and discordant, and the military giants with many votes on the mountain feel a great threat.

So the military giants put aside their contradictions and united.

Rebound impeachment or something, the military doesn't bother to do it, they only do what they are good at. found a reason in the court and quarreled with the civilian officials, and then Cheng Biting Jin first punched down Chu Suiliang, who dared to talk back to him, and then a unilateral beating by the military giants against the civilian official group began.
