Before Li Shimin got the news of Changle's return to the palace, he was busy talking about his daily life and children with Empress Changsun, and he was in a happy mood. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When she got the news that Princess Changle had entered the palace, her face, which was originally full of smiles, instantly smiled even brighter.

"I'll just say it! Changle, this girl, still has her parents in her heart! No, that kid has only been away from Chang'an for a few days? I went back to the palace to visit my parents. Li Shimin seemed to have won a big battle, and proudly showed off to the eldest grandson.

Soon after the year, Li Shimin asked people to go to the Qin Mansion to invite Changle to live in the Lizheng Palace, but Changle repeatedly refused on the grounds that he wanted to honor his in-laws and serve his husband. In the end, Li Shimin became angry, this married daughter is really spilled water, but filial piety to her father-in-law and mother-in-law should be, but can her biological father and mother not be filial? This son-in-law is still half a son, and this daughter is so careless about the family? So, I personally went to the door, saying that I miss my daughter, you don't come to see me, I have to come to see you! Changle also felt embarrassed and moved to live in the Lizheng Hall for a few days.

After a while, Princess Changle ran over with a flushed face, looking very anxious.

Li Shimin is so proud, this daughter is good, and she is much more filial than those sons who have no future. Li Shimin shouted from afar: "Changle, come here." I am here with your mother. ”

As soon as Princess Changle entered the imperial garden, she saw Li Shimin supporting Empress Changsun to spread out on the open ground in front of the courtyard, basking in the sun.

Princess Changle ran over, she didn't have time to salute, so she handed over the three items to Li Shimin, and then explained the situation 1510.

Li Shimin glanced through the roster roughly, and when he came across a familiar name, he paused for a moment.

"Okay, it's very good, I never dreamed that there are still so many rats in this Tang Dynasty who betray their masters for glory and betray their ancestors." After flipping through the pages, his smile suddenly fell, and his face was filled with a solemn aura. He tried his best to suppress the shock and anger in his heart, and said to Changle and Yan Yuese: "Changle, you have done a good job. It's inconvenient for you to show your face, so leave this matter to me. You can take Yuzhang and the others back to the house and wait for my news. ”

"Father, mother, son, retired!" Changle knew the seriousness of the matter, and he didn't do much to stay. came in a hurry, and hurriedly went to the criminal department to meet Zheng Liwan and Princess Yuzhang.

"Come on, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Hou Junji, well, by the way, and Qin Qiong." Qin Feng is dedicated to joining the army, so he can't let the father and son be in charge of the most critical army together!

From the perspective of Datang's long-term interests, Qin Feng is undoubtedly more suitable for joining the army, and his importance to Datang is undoubtedly greater.

"Your Majesty! The book of the criminal department and the Dali temple are asking to see! At this moment, the eunuch came to report.

"Xuan!"

"Your Majesty." After a while, the two protagonists in charge of the trial strode in.

Li Shimin said: "Two Aiqing, but they are here for the roster and account book? ”

Qu Tu channel: "Back to Your Majesty, yes or no?" ”

"Aiqing, please speak!" Li Shimin straightened his attitude.

"Your Majesty, under the joint investigation of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, there has been progress in the case of military intelligence leakage." Flexion channel.

"Your Majesty, we are ninety percent sure of who leaked the military information." Dali Temple is also the way.

"Who?" Li Shimin asked loudly.

Qu Tutong said word by word: "Hou Junji, the general of the Left Guard!" ”

"Qu Tu Aiqing, who are you talking about?" Li Shimin almost doubted his ears.

"Hou Junji!"

"Is there any evidence?"

"Yes!" Qu Tutong and Dali Qing are presenting the results of their investigations separately.

Li Shimin read them one by one.

The face that was originally full of murderous aura instantly became hideous.

"How can it be?"

Li Shimin slapped the case a few times, and Huo Ran stood up. With Di Zhixun's investigation and analysis, plus the evidence listed in the two parts, as well as Hou Junji's conduct and recent performance, Li Shimin has believed seventy percent.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing that can prove that Hou Junji is the one who leaked military information."

"What?"

"The personnel assigned by the Criminal Department near the Luguo Mansion found that in the middle of the night last night, General Hou Junji sent his second son and third princess away overnight. They joined a caravan and left Chang'an at night, their whereabouts unknown. ”

Qu Tu channel: "If he didn't have a ghost in his heart, why did he have such a move?" Even if it has nothing to do with the leakage of military information, I am afraid it is related to other issues. ”

Li Shimin suddenly thought of a record in the account book, and couldn't help but say coldly: "But the caravan of merchants surnamed Nan? ”

"Exactly." Qu Tutong was slightly stunned, and then nodded very confirmatively.

Li Shimin said angrily: "This is unforgivable! For the sake of personal grievances, ignore the interests of my Datang. If it weren't for the fact that General Xiao Qin broke the situation in danger, the army would be in danger, the prince would be in danger, and tens of thousands of troops would be in danger. Hou Junji is simply confused, and he is a bastard. ”

Li Shimin's face was pale, Hou Qunji's approach was that Li Shimin trusted Hou Junji no matter how much he couldn't accept it. Through the evidence provided by the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, as well as Hou Junji's sending of his son, he has believed that this is definitely Hou Junji's jealousy of Qin Feng and betrayed the military to the Turks in vain for the interests of the Tang Dynasty, the purpose of which is to make Qin Feng not only unable to make meritorious contributions, but also to let Qin Feng die at the hands of the Turks, as for the life or death of the crown prince Li Chengqian, he Hou Junji does not care at all.

This practice of sacrificing everything for his own interests deeply angered Li Shimin, and he said solemnly: "What do the two Aiqing think? ”

Qu Tutong said angrily: "Your Majesty, you and your ministers are both from military backgrounds, and you also know how much harm leaking military information can do to an army, Your Majesty has a lot of confidence in him Hou Junji, but he leaked my Tang Dynasty military information because of personal grudges, and almost caused General Qin to be wiped out." If the general has three longs and two shorts, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will also suffer misfortune, as for whether there is a later annihilation of the Turks, it is still two to say.

Dali Temple Qingzheng also said angrily: "It is the first time since the founding of the Tang Dynasty that I have encountered such a bad situation, if I don't punish it severely." In the future, if there was a dislike of the Chinese martial arts, everyone would follow Hou Junji's example. Wouldn't it be a great chaos in the court and a great chaos in the world? This wind must not be promoted, Hou Junji has a heavy army, is one of His Majesty's most trusted ministers, and his actions are even more punishable, and he should kill chickens and monkeys to set an example. ””

Li Shimin was silent.

"Cut off the water and remove the source, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and eliminate the evil, this time the confidential military information was leaked, and the concubine felt that no matter what purpose he had, he was the culprit, and he could not escape the blame. I have always felt that Hou Junji should be severely punished. Your Majesty, if something happens to Qian'er, for the position of the crown prince, I am afraid that there will be boundless disputes. Fortunately, Feng'er coped with it properly, otherwise, it would definitely be a disaster for my Datang. ”

On the side, the eldest grandson queen, who has always been gentle and virtuous, and has never interfered in national affairs, also spoke at this moment, the people involved have her own son, and her favorite son-in-law, but these two closest relatives almost died because of Hou Junji's selfishness, and the hatred and anger in his heart can be imagined.

"What you said makes sense, this wind can't last, and this thing can't be turned into a small thing, so be it...... Two Aiqing, I will hand over this matter to the two of you, the Criminal Department and Dali Temple are fully responsible for this matter, we must give an explanation to the soldiers, we must not wronged a good person, and we will never let go of a bad person. Empress Changsun's words made Li Shimin shudder, once there is no prince, his sons will not have to gang up to do it? This infighting has always consumed national strength, because it was because of the infighting that their brothers consumed a lot of Datang's energy. It was also the eldest grandson queen who made Li Shimin make up his mind to severely punish Hou Junji.

"Hou Junji, the general of the Left Guard, will arrive, and I will ask him to fully cooperate with your investigation. Once confirmed, I will remove him from all positions. ”

After a while, the ministers who made Li Shimin nod came one after another, and before the meeting began, Hou Junji asked Li Shimin to send him to assist the Criminal Department and Dali Temple in the investigation. As for the content of the meeting, it has nothing to do with Hou Junji.

But what Li Shimin never expected was that when they were discussing getting rid of the moths hidden in the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop, his most trusted minister, the eldest grandson Wuji, the uncle of the Tang Dynasty, although he was as quiet as water, he was tormented in his heart and fell into panic.

It's just because his eldest grandson Wuji is the real leaker, and Hou Junji is just a weapon he uses to kill people.

Hou Junji and the eldest grandson Wuji are two extremes, the eldest grandson Wuji likes to play yin, from the shadows, killing people and invisible. And Hou Junji likes to come to Ming, just like he fights. He led his troops to fight and rarely used stratagem, but he was able to rely on his ability to fight hard battles and achieve better results than strategic battles.

**********

Dali Temple!

Triage!

Hou Junji walked into this place where everyone was afraid with his head up, his expression proud, with a little no one in his eyes.

Only he knew that this was a great shame for himself to support the scene, and it was a great shame for officials to be interrogated in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, during this period, there were many ministers who broke the law and sentenced them without trial, among which the highest and most famous was Hou Junji.

In history, Hou Junji, as Li Shimin's confidant, was second only to Fang Du in status, but he conspired against Li Chengqian. When the matter was revealed, Li Shimin did not want to be interrogated with his minister for many years, and after visiting him in the cell, he ordered his execution.

Hou Junji was openly tried in Dali Temple today, everything he did was well known, and his old face had been thrown into the dung pit and left. He knew that countless people were rubbing his backbone and scolding him, and now he had no way to save face except for putting gold on his face and relying on the privileges of Lu Guogong and General Zuo Wei to cover his shame.

"Qin Feng!"

Thinking of this name and this character, Hou Junji's heart was almost numb, and today, he just didn't even have the strength to hate.

"Losing" again and again, "losing" again and again, this time he also lost himself, but the other party was unscathed, and the blow was not small.

Dali Temple Qingzheng, Yu Shi Dafu, and the Criminal Department Shangshu Qu Tutong sat on the top, shaking their heads and sighing at Hou Junji's arrogance, but the last one sneered in his heart.

In fact, this time it is better to say that it is a trial, but it is not so much a verdict.

The evidence was ironclad, the human and material evidence was present, Hou Junji had no way to refuse, and in the end he simply admitted that he leaked the secret, and Chen Song, who was surnamed Nan, also took the big fault of colluding with the Turks. In the past, perhaps someone would have focused on who colluded with the Turks. But now Li Shimin spoke directly, no matter who colluded with the Turks, Hou Junji, who was the first to leak information, was the culprit.

One sentence will open up the situation that may be deadlocked, fight or not, argue or not, Hou Junji is the culprit, and there is no need to distinguish.

The Third Division has always sentenced Hou Junji to be removed from all positions for leaking military secrets and imprisoned in the Criminal Department.

Hou Junji's arrogant expression froze on his face when he heard the result, and he shouted: "This is impossible! He finally panicked, thinking that he had a high status, and thought that with Li Shimin's protection and trust, he would be able to get along with each other and survive this catastrophe.

Wait until this matter passes, and when he makes a comeback, he will come to compete with Li Jing, Qin Feng, and Li Ji.

He never imagined that he would be removed from his official position, and he would be sent to the prison of the Criminal Department, thinking that he was about to live in a dark prison for a few years, and the whole person almost collapsed, shouting: "I want to see Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty......"

Hou Junji tried to struggle, but let the official forcibly take him down.

"I want to see Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty!" The shouts grew farther and farther away, eventually dissipating.

With Li Shimin's words, what if he is the Duke of Lu Guogong and the general of the Zuo Guard?

There is a line between the king and the minister, but the power is very different.
