Gaochang City Palace!

Hou Junji sat on the throne of King Gaochang, playing with an ivory scimitar inlaid with pearls and gems in his hand, his face was full of joy, the milky white ivory knife was a precious anomaly, a priceless luxury, not to mention this ivory scimitar inlaid with gems?

He hung the ivory scimitar on his waist, straightened his chest, nodded with satisfaction, and then picked up a jade jade Buddha in front of him, the texture of the jade Buddha is peculiar, with the luster of glass, the texture is delicate and pure without flaws, and the color is pure, bright, rich, and uniform emerald green, which is a rare treasure. The jade is good, but the carving is one in ten thousand. A statue of Shakyamuni Buddha carved vividly and vividly, vividly, with supreme majesty.

He took the Jade Buddha in his hand and played with it for a while, and with his other free hand he took a piece of armor, which was a long-sleeved robe made of gold and steel wires twisted together. The entire armor looked golden, and the steel blades were superimposed on the chest, shoulders, elbow joints, and other important parts, making it even more indestructible, and even the sword and blade could not hurt him in the slightest.

The ivory scimitar, the jade jade Buddha, and the golden silk soft armor are the three treasures that Hou Junji took from the Gaochang treasury privately, and they are also the three most valuable treasures in the entire Gaochang.

Hou Junji looked at these three treasures and laughed: "I didn't expect that little Gaochang would have such treasures, it's worth the trip." Give the ivory scimitar to Your Majesty, Your Majesty was also a tiger general back then, and this ivory scimitar must be liked; Mrs. believes in Buddhism, and this jade Buddha is suitable for her; As for this golden silk soft armor...... Ha...... I took it. ”

He pasted the golden silk soft armor on his chest, kept gesturing, and frowned, "It's just a little smaller, go back to Chang'an and let people change it!" ”

At this time, Hou Junji got the beloved general Shen Hui's request to see.

Hou Junji didn't shy away from suspicion, but naturally asked people to invite him in.

Shen Hui strode into the hall.

He is of medium height, a general with a resolute face, and a general promoted by Hou Junji, who is best at in-depth assault, brave in combat, and deeply respected, but at this moment he has a melancholy face, and an inverted eight has formed between his eyebrows.

When he came in and saw Hou Junji on the throne, his expression changed drastically: "Dashuai, how can you sit on the seat of King Gaochang?" ”

Hou Junji looked disdainful: "What King Gaochang, garbage, shit, waste, if it weren't for his incompetence, why would the thousands of soldiers and horses of Du He's kid beat this strong city?" He looked angry and scolded, this expedition to the west, did not achieve full success, but let Du He take the miracle of the world, his heart was full of anger, and everyone hated it.

Koji Zhisheng surrendered without a fight, which directly caused the great work in his hand to fly away from his eyes, and naturally became the object of his anger.

"Besides, Gaochang has long been finished, what is the Gaochang throne." After listening to Shen Hui's words, not only did he not have any thoughts, but instead leaned his whole person on the throne, stretched his hands and feet, and laughed: "Don't say it, this son is quite comfortable to sit on!" ”

Shen Hui's face was even pale, he looked left and right, and saw that there was no one around, and said in shock: "Dashuai, I'm worried that the wall has ears, if people see it, tell Your Majesty, let Your Majesty know, saying that Dashuai has antipathy, Dashuai will have a hard time distinguishing!" ”

Hou Junji said disappreliantly: "Why are you kid living more and more mother-in-law now, where do you see there are people around?" Besides, even if it's someone, so what? Hum...... If I want to sue Lao Tzu, even if I go, what am I afraid of? I don't look at what His Majesty has to do with me, and I don't look at how much hard work my Hou Junji has made for the Tang Dynasty. I don't believe it, Your Majesty will punish me for this little thing! He said a little arrogantly, and finally said, "By the way, what are you doing here?" ”

Shen Hui's brows furrowed even deeper, and he looked at the figure in front of him who he had followed for many years, and his expression was full of uneasiness: I didn't think it in Chang'an, but this time, his pampered and arrogant, proud and proud surname became more and more prominent, and many things were making their own decisions, so I am afraid that it will continue like this...... Thinking of the panicked scene on the street, after hesitating again and again, he spoke: "Dashuai, now the people of Gaochang City are panicking, and many soldiers are greedy and greedy, shouldn't they ...... Restrain the army and strictly enforce military discipline to prevent turmoil. ”

"It's okay, that's what you're here for?" Hou Junji said with a strange expression: "After this war, the soldiers took the sheep by the hand, which is a common thing, what is there to be strange?" Rebellion, even their foolish people dare? ”

Shen Hui also knew that Hou Junji was right, Datang did not encourage looting on the battlefield, but some things were inevitable. As long as it is not excessive, take some windfalls, this is basically a practice, there are all dynasties, and there is no way to stop it. But generally speaking, the commander-in-chief will restrain the soldiers at this time, stop in moderation, and not allow things to expand. But Hou Junji did not restrain the soldiers at this critical time, but took the lead in hiding treasures privately.

There is a saying called upward and downward effect, as a commander-in-chief, you can't lead by example, how can you expect soldiers to obey military orders?

"But ......" Seeing that Hou Junji couldn't listen to a word, Shen Hui didn't know what to say.

"Okay...... Hou Junji waved his hand impatiently, "You don't need to say it, I think you are really going back more and more, and this courage is getting smaller and smaller." I know what you're trying to say, isn't it just to take something out of the palace in Gaochang? Tell you, it's not a big deal, as long as I want, with the merits I have established for the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty will reward me, and now I just take it in advance. ”

Shen Hui was about to speak, but was interrupted by a bad sound from afar, and a soldier rushed in in a panic, shouting that it was not good.

The soldiers knelt down in front of Hou Junji and reported loudly: "Marshal, Du He has led a team of soldiers and horses to arrest all the 100 people of our army looking for streets in Dongcheng, and it seems that they will be tortured!" ”

"How can it be!" Hou Junji glared angrily when he heard this, and Huo Ran, who was furious, stood up.

Gaochang City, no, it should be called Xizhou now, at the moment when Li Shimin gave the decree, Gaochang had disappeared into the smoke and clouds of history, and what remained was a state called Xizhou in the Tang Dynasty.

Now Du He, who is on Xizhou Street, is already full of anger and indignation, his eyes are spurting blood, he looks at the soldiers who are guarding him fiercely, his teeth are itching, and he personally escorts more than 80 of them to the square in the center of the city.

After getting Li Shimin's latest appointment, Du Heyi had no worries, and asked people to inform the general Ashina Sheer and enter the city in person.

Looking at the desolate streets in the city, I was very indignant in my heart.

Gaochang is a country that occupies the right time, place and people.

Because the Tang Emperor Li Shimin was open to all rivers and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, the envoys from various countries who traveled to and from Chang'an and Luoyang were endless. Gaochang is located in the most critical part of the Silk Road, in the most developed area of transportation, but also because of the pro-Tang Dynasty, by the Tang Dynasty protection, there is no disaster, there is no enemy, the people are simple, live and work in peace and contentment. Gaochang has been affected by the blessings, and its commerce is also extremely developed, far better than any country in the Western Regions. The streets of Gaochang City can be described as "busy and endless".

However, because of the stupidity of Lu Wentai, he vainly became an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, which caused the Gaochang merchants to disperse and the people to panic.

When Du He was in charge of Gaochang, according to the characteristics of Gaochang, he implemented benevolent governance, which calmed down the panicked hearts of the people in the city and gradually rekindled their hope for the future.

Just before he left, the people in Gaochang City had been able to go to the streets naturally, open shops and do business naturally, and they had already made a good start. But in just a few days after Hou Junji came, Gaochang City completely lost its vitality.

There is a high hall and a huge universe, but every household is tightly closed. Except for the occasional patrolman on the road, there was not a single figure in sight, like a dead city.

I had long heard the old farmer and Hou Junji talk about the scene in Gaochang City, but they didn't expect that the actual situation was worse than imagined.

Just when he was secretly hating, he accidentally heard the noise outside the street.

When they got closer, they saw that a group of soldiers were surrounding and beating more than a dozen people. The soldiers were trained warriors, while the people were farmers, and they had little to fight back, so they were knocked to the ground, surrounded by them, and fiercely laid their hands in the dark.

Du He was already extremely annoyed, and immediately asked people to arrest all the murderers, and when he asked the reason, he was even more angry.

It turned out to be a small leader under Hou Junji's subordinates, who sneaked into a house to get some oil and water, but was hit by the owner of the house. The little boss saw that he couldn't steal it, and planned to rob it openly, but he didn't want this family to be a multi-person family with three brothers living there.

The remaining two heard the news and joined the battle and beat the little leader. When the little boss fled in panic, he accidentally fell over the wall and broke his leg. The little leader couldn't swallow his breath, so he gathered a group of people to find trouble. The neighbors couldn't stand it and came to help.

Things got worse and worse, and finally turned into a group fight.

Because of Hou Junji's indulgence, the people finally organized a counterattack for the first time, but after all, they were just ordinary people, and how could they be the opponents of the regular army with only the courage of flesh and blood, and the situation was naturally one-sided.

If it hadn't been for Duhe's timely appearance, maybe something would have happened.

Du He took the more than 80 people to the square in the center of the city, and held a public trial in front of the public.

The people around who heard the news also came out to support, and they gave a warm welcome to Duhe's return.

Du He learned the interrogation process of those officials on TV, interrogated and collected evidence in front of everyone, and then confronted each other in court, sorted out the crimes they committed one by one, and punished them in public according to the crimes committed by the individual in full view.

The little leader Xue Song was the culprit, and the heaviest punishment was forty rods.

Xue Song's expression changed drastically, and he jumped up through gritted teeth, "I am the subordinate of the chief manager Hou Dashuai, who dares to beat me!" ”

"Well said! Lao Tzu wants to see who dares to beat my Hou Junji's soldiers! ”
