The rain in the middle of summer is majestic and long. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The next morning, the rain did not stop.

The ministers stood on top of the main hall, and the rain outside was rattling like a marching song.

Because of the rain and dark clouds, the whole hall seemed very dim, and the sound of the monarch's response was disturbed by the sound of the rain, and it seemed so secluded.

Time was slow, and after Li Shimin and the ministers finished talking about Gaochang, they brought the matter to the matter of Hubu Shangshu again.

After listening to the discussions of these ministers, Li Shimin finally said: "The matter of the criminal department is quite important, Zhang Liang and Zhang Aiqing have been in the criminal department for many years, if they leave, I am a little worried that the criminal department will be difficult to operate, Zhang Aiqing should continue to stay in the criminal department, Hou Junxin will go to the household department from now on, but there is a case of embezzlement in the household department, so after Hou Junxin goes to the household department, I have to check it every two months." ”

After Li Shimin said such a thing, the ministers were stunned for a moment.

In the past, the ministers competed with each other, and it was difficult for Li Shimin to make a decision, but why did he suddenly make a decision this time, could it be that the reason why he asked Hou Junxin to go to the household department was really because the criminal department could not do without Zhang Liang?

The ministers were puzzled, but Li Shimin had already ordered that it could no longer be changed, and the ministers shouted long live, and then retreated.

When retreating, the heavy rain was still falling, and the ministers stood at the door of the main hall and hesitated for a moment, and then each picked up his own umbrella and walked to his own carriage outside the palace gate.

When Hou Junxin left the main hall, many officials in the court came to congratulate him, and Hou Junxin responded one by one, but his heart was still full of doubts, he didn't understand why the crown prince Li Chengqian's people had to help him, and what he didn't understand was why Li Shimin suddenly chose him, could it be that Li Shimin decided that Li Chengqian was the prince?

On the way from the main hall to the palace gate, the officials with umbrellas rushed out, and when Hou Junxin was about to leave with an umbrella, he suddenly heard someone behind him calling his name, he turned around, and saw that it was Wu Meng, an official of the Ministry of Officials who fought for his own strength in the court.

"Lord Hou, I'm sorry, the two of us seem to have taken the wrong umbrella." Wu Meng walked very slowly, obviously going to be the last, and Hou Junxin looked up at the handle of his umbrella, although everyone's umbrellas were similar, he was confident that he was not wrong.

Thinking that Wu Meng was fighting for himself so hard in the court, he had faintly sensed what Wu Meng meant by shouting at him, but he was afraid that he was going to win himself over for the prince.

Can you say yes?

"I'm really embarrassed to take the wrong umbrella." At this time, only Wu Meng and Hou Junxin were left at the end, and after exchanging umbrellas, they strolled towards the palace gate.

"Lord Hou has been promoted to the head of the household, congratulations."

"Lord Wu is polite."

Wu Meng saw that Hou Junxin's reaction was flat, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Since the umbrella has been changed, then let's say goodbye, I hope Lord Hou can do his best for my Tang household." ”

After speaking, Wu Meng walked away quickly with an umbrella, which confused Hou Junxin, did he really take the wrong umbrella?

But this is impossible, Hou Junxin is faintly uneasy, the more things he can't understand, the more uneasy he feels.

East Palace.

After the prince returned to the East Palace, he immediately told Su Wuwei and Du He about the things that happened this morning, and after he finished speaking, he said with a smile: "It seems that my father still approves of this prince." ”

Su Wuwei and Du He glanced at each other, and a light smile appeared on the corner of their mouths.

The crown prince Li Chengqian thought naïvely, but they couldn't be too naïve as strategists, why did Li Shimin let Hou Junxin serve as the head of the household, was it really because he favored the prince Li Chengqian?

Both of them are smart people, so naturally they don't think so.

Who is Li Shimin, he is a generation of Ming Jun, how can he treat the appointment of officials differently because of his proximity to his prince?

The expressions of the two were obvious, and after seeing it, the smug prince Li Chengqian couldn't help but frown, and said, "Could it be that this prince is wrong?" ”

Although Su Wuwei is a strategist, he is different from other strategists, in addition to wanting Li Chengqian to be the emperor, he also wants Li Chengqian to be a monarch who is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, so at this time, he stood up and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, if the Holy Lord appoints Hou Junxin just because he favors you, I am afraid that he will not be entrusted for so long." ”

This sentence hurt the crown prince Li Chengqian very much, but he was embarrassed to show it in front of Su Wuwei, so after secretly scolding Su Wuwei in his heart, he asked with a light smile: "Then why does Mr. Su think his father wants Hou Junxin to serve as the head of the household?" ”

"Naturally, it's because Hou Junji has set up, Hou Junji has destroyed Gaochang Kingdom, and the merit of destroying the country is very high in my Tang Dynasty, Hou Junji has to reward him when he comes back, but Hou Junji's military merits are too high, how to reward, the emperor is not at ease when the reward is high, and Hou Junji is not happy if the reward is less, fortunately, the emperor rewarded Hou Junxin first, and when Hou Junji comes back, the saint will give him some more gold, silver and jewelry."

Su Wuwei said it, the crown prince Li Chengqian was shocked after hearing it, and after thinking about it carefully, this is really the case, and Du He here is also secretly shocked, Du He has always thought that he is a very smart person, and he has never served anyone, this time the emperor appointed Hou Junxin, he felt that the main reason was that Hou Junxin had not yet attached himself to the prince, as for what Su Wuwei said, he did not expect it.

But now that Su Wuwei finished speaking, he found that compared to the reason he thought, Su Wuwei's point was more grounded.

This made him feel that Su Wuwei was a great talent, even more thoughtful than himself, such a person was very beneficial to the prince Li Chengqian, but for him Du He, it was an obstacle, because with him, he would never be the first strategist beside the prince Li Chengqian.

"Mr. Su is right, Hou Junji's merits are too high, and the saint has no title to reward him, so he can only reward him with some gold, silver and jewelry, and if Hou Junji is interested, he should be grateful to Dade and be like Li Jing and Li Ji."

After listening to the words of these two people, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "What the two gentlemen said is reasonable, but after Hou Junji came back, he was slightly suppressed by his father, so is it easy for the prince to restrain him?" ”

"It is precisely because he was suppressed by the Holy Lord that he was better co-opted by His Royal Highness the Prince, and he was allowed to take a high position, a higher position, which the Holy God could not give him." Su Wuwei smiled lightly, everything was under his control, if nothing went wrong, after Hou Junji returned to Beijing, the prince would have another wing.

The crown prince Li Chengqian felt that what Su Wuwei said was true, so he couldn't help laughing, and at this time, the wind and rain outside were more urgent, but these had nothing to do with the three people in the house.
