Li Shimin led the ministers into the palace, and Lu Minzhi followed behind everyone, but his expression was calm, and he raised his head, giving people a fearless spirit. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Although Hou Junji followed Li Shimin's side to chat with Li Shimin, he would still peek at Lu Minzhi from time to time, and every time he peeked, his teeth itched with hatred, thinking that when he was in Gaochang, why didn't he see this kid's different intentions, and he should have slashed him with a knife at that time.

The lives of people in the army are like mustard, and death is death.

"Hou Aiqing, Xue Aiqing, the two of you have made great contributions, what reward do you want?"

"It is our duty as courtiers to serve the saints, and I dare not expect a reward." Hou Junji and Xue Wanche hurriedly responded like this.

Li Shimin smiled: "If you don't get rewarded for your merits, it's not my fault, don't worry, you two will never suffer." ”

As Jun Chen said this, bursts of laughter came from time to time, and Lu Minzhi listened to it from behind, and couldn't help biting his lip.

The road from the palace gate to the main hall is not very long, after everyone enters the main hall, Li Shimin has to praise Hou Junji and Xue Wanche again, and then he has to ask Ma Zhou of the Ministry how to reward, Ma Zhou stood up and was about to say his opinion according to the merits of the two of them, Lu Minzhi, who had been standing behind, suddenly shouted loudly again: "Before the holy reward, the minister has something to say." ”

When everyone heard that Lu Minzhi was the one who was not afraid of death, they couldn't help but lose their previous disdain and dislike, because in their opinion, it was nothing if a person was not afraid of dying once, but if he was not afraid of dying twice, he deserved respect.

Li Shimin looked at Lu Minzhi and asked, "What do you have to do?" ”

Lu Minzhi said: "Weichen is the secretary of the military Chinese, responsible for the records of some military affairs, in this battle to destroy Gaochang, after the victory, Hou Junji connived at his soldiers to rob the property in the Gaochang Palace, and even more, some soldiers in the Gaochang Palace arbitrarily **** palace maids, although Hou Junji knew but did not interfere, the minister ...... To impeach Hou Junji. ”

As soon as Lu Minzhi's words came out, the ministers suddenly burst out in shock.

Many of the people present are veterans of marching and fighting, and they know very well that the loneliness on the way to the march is a common thing to be greedy for money and find women, but the Tang Dynasty has rules, after destroying a country, all property must be handed over to the imperial court, and then the imperial court will reward these people according to their military merits.

In addition, it is not allowed to slaughter the city, and it is not allowed to harass the people of the destroyed country, but these Hou Junji knowingly but deliberately connived, didn't he take the laws of the Tang Dynasty into account?

Li Shimin, who was still very excited, suddenly tightened his eyebrows at this time, Hou Junji had just made a great contribution to destroying Gao Chang, but now someone has impeached him, what should he, the emperor, do?

The entire hall suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere was a little unpleasant.

After such a long time, Li Shimin looked at Hou Junji and said, "Hou Aiqing, is what Lu Minzhi said true?" ”

Although it was early autumn, Hou Junji's forehead was still sweaty, and it was not easy to hide things in the army, as long as Li Shimin wanted to check, he would definitely be able to find out, so Hou Junji hesitated for a moment and said: "Back to the Shengshang, after the attack on Gaochang Kingdom, there were indeed some soldiers who robbed some finances, and the minister felt that it was not easy for those soldiers to follow the minister to travel a long way, so he didn't stop it." ”

Li Shimin's face turned cold, a pair of eyes glared at Hou Junji, and said, "What about the **** Gaochangguo woman?" ”

"The matter...... There are also things to do, but ......"

Before Hou Junji finished speaking, Li Shimin suddenly said angrily: "But what but? I said a long time ago that you should not harass the people of the destroyed country, how did you do that? ”

Hou Junji suddenly knelt on the ground, but he didn't say a word.

At this time, when the ministers next to him saw this situation, none of them dared to step forward to say more.

The autumn wind blew into the hall from the entrance of the main hall, and the wind in the hall carried a trace of coldness, Li Shimin looked at Hou Junji and said coldly: "Hou Junji has made a meritorious contribution to destroying Gaochang, and I am very relieved, and I ordered him to hand over all military power and let him return to the house to recuperate." ”

After saying this, Li Shimin waved his hand slightly: "Retreat." ”

-----------------------------------------------

After retiring from the dynasty, Hou Junji did not say much to his colleagues, and rushed directly to his own house.

He knows too well what Li Shimin's words mean today, he destroyed Gao Changguo, if Li Shimin punishes him, it will inevitably be difficult to convince the public, and it will give people a feeling that he has merit but is punished, so Li Shimin did not punish him, but took back his military power, and even let him stay in the house to recuperate, it is obvious that Li Shimin is a punishment for himself, and from now on, he Hou Junji can no longer say a word about any major affairs in the court, unless Li Shimin changes his mind.

Hou Junji was unwilling, his soldiers followed him to fight in the north and south, what happened to hiding a few jewels, what happened to playing with a few women who were destroyed, so why did Lu Minzhi hold on to him?

Hou Junji is a smart person, Li Shimin controls the entire Tang Dynasty at this time, and it is by no means something that he can shake with Hou Junji, so he will not go against Li Shimin or even make enemies, but he will not let go of the initiator of the whole thing.

Lu Minzhi, a small record of joining the army dared to go against him Hou Junji, he was really impatient.

When Hou Junji hurried home like this, a few of his colleagues in the DPRK and China could understand him, after all, the days on the march were difficult, and some needs were too normal.

But today Li Shimin's anger is also very clear to them, so they will not intercede for Hou Junji at this juncture, and after the situation slowly subsides, it is not too late for them to go to Li Shimin, and Hou Junji is a rare general, if Li Shimin wants to fight, he will definitely be indispensable, and they all know that this is why Li Shimin only let him go home to recuperate and did not punish him further.

How shrewd Li Shimin is, how could he block the road all at once?

After the ministers retreated, the person in charge of the portrait of the heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion came in a hurry, and after he saw Li Shimin, he asked: "Holy Lord, Hou Junji made such a big mistake, did he remove his name as the hero of the Lingyan Pavilion?" ”

Li Shimin's eyebrows condensed slightly, and then fell into contemplation, so after about a cup of tea, Li Shimin said: "I am a person with clear rewards and punishments, he Hou Junji has contributed to my Tang Dynasty before, I naturally will not treat him badly, now that I make a mistake, I will never tolerate it, the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion mostly refer to the merits of the founding of the country, and there is no need to remove him, but the historian has to write them down. ”

When the man heard this, he already understood Li Shimin's intentions, so he hurriedly retreated, and after he retreated, he did not go back to the department where he should go, but went directly to the East Palace.

The reason why he came to ask such a sentence was instructed by Li Chengqian, the prince of the East Palace, and now that there is a result, he naturally wants to go to Li Chengqian.
