Hou Junji never expected that just after returning to Chang'an, after the handover of the seal letter in the Tang Dynasty of the Ministry of War, what was waiting for him was the prison of Dali Temple.

Sun Fujia, the secretary of Dali Temple, took the holy decree and read out several charges of Hou Junji, and then directly sent him to the prison of Dali Temple.

"Sun Fujia, what are you that dare to do something to Ben Shuai?" Hou Junji didn't expect such a situation at all, he was already proud, and this time he returned to Chang'an with great military exploits and majesty, it was when he was in high spirits, where could he bear such humiliation?

Although there is a holy purpose, Hou Junji does not believe that the emperor will make such a will, of course, out of the instinct of the courtiers, he naturally does not dare to have any opinions on the emperor, so the dissatisfaction in his heart was subconsciously vented to Sun Fujia.

Sun Fujia is a champion born in the imperial examination, quite talented and learned, and has been reused by the emperor over the years, but in the eyes of founding generals such as Hou Junji and the old generals of the Qin Palace, it is really nothing. On weekdays, he may be polite, but at the moment, he is shocked and angry, where will he put Sun Fujia in his eyes.

"Don't worry, Duke Luguo, the government hall has received a lot of notes to impeach you, many of which have empirical evidence, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, you must now be taken into custody and investigated."

Sun Fujia was not angry, and persuaded him with good words: "I am also acting according to orders, and I ask for the understanding of the Duke of Luguo." ”

"On whose orders?" Hou Junji asked a little unconvinced.

"Naturally, it is the will of His Majesty the Emperor." Sun Fujia held high the holy decree, showing that he was justified and confident.

"Impossible, Your Majesty won't be ...... like this" Hou Junji was a little difficult to accept. He was obviously just born and died, and he fought outside for more than a year, laying a foundation for the Tang Dynasty. Megatron Western Regions. I just came back and didn't pay for my merits, but I ushered in prison?

How could the emperor treat the heroes so harshly, this is obviously a bit unreasonable, and Hou Junji is obviously a little unbelievable, and even more unacceptable.

Sun Fujia fully understood Hou Junji's mood, and said with a faint smile: "Duke Luguo, you have indeed made meritorious contributions to Gaochang. However, the law of the country is strict, and His Majesty has always done things properly, and his merits will be rewarded. But mistakes will also be punished, and rewards and punishments are clearly the only system of my Datang, I think you understand. ”

"Hmph, do I need you to teach me a lesson?" Lu Guogong frowned suddenly. Very displeased.

"Don't dare. It's just a business affair below, and I ask for your forgiveness. Although Sun Fujia is humble and has a low posture, he can be called neither humble nor arrogant. It's no wonder that being in Dali Temple is an offending yamen, if you have scruples everywhere and look at people's faces, you can't do anything.

So all the time. Sun Fujia has always had this attitude of humility, but neither humble nor arrogant. Suave but iron-faced and selfless. Therefore, it won the respect of the emperor Li Shimin, and also won the recognition and cooperation of most of the courtiers, and the errand in Dali Temple was prosperous, and he was already a secretary of Dali Temple in less than two years, and the six departments and nine secretaries were already considered to be high-ranking officials in the court.

Hou Junji's errand was difficult to handle, and Sun Fujia knew one thing from the day he received the holy decree, and this case would become the most difficult task in his career.

In the past, although Dali Temple also had special jurisdiction over the trial of cases and served as an errand for the emperor's minions, the identity of the criminals who handled the cases was not particularly high, at least not so tricky. The most troublesome thing in the past two years is probably the current Huaiyang Hou Xie Yi's incident, but in the end it was properly resolved.

Other powerful families are generally more moderate, and there have not been many major cases in Chang'an in the past two years, but this time I met Hou Junji...... This is the founding general of the Tang Dynasty, an old general of the Qin Wangfu who was born in His Majesty the Emperor back then, and he was the prince of the dynasty. The background is relatively high and the qualifications are profound.

This is a troublesome place, in addition, Hou Junji is a veteran general in the army, quite influential in the army, and has a fiery temper. It will definitely be troublesome to deal with, and it will inevitably offend people. But thinking of his position and the emperor's meaning, Sun Fujia had nothing to be ambiguous about, so he could only deal with it head-on.

Hearing Sun Fujia say this, and seeing the situation of the servants of Dali Temple waiting for battle, Hou Junji finally endured it temporarily. Although the letter of the fish talisman has been returned to the Ministry of War, many generals in the army are still willing to obey their own dispatches, and as a national prince and general, even if it is not wartime, there are many troops, and these forces are enough to confront the messengers of Dali Temple.

But Hou Junji is also very aware of the fact that if he does it himself now, it will mean resisting the decree, and the consequences will be serious. Although he had meritorious deeds, Hou Junji still remembered some ways of being a minister, and did not dare to blatantly do this wrong trick.

"Well, let's go with you and see what you can do with your country?" Hou Junji waved his hand and walked in front angrily.

As long as Hou Junji cooperates, Sun Fujia will naturally be polite, and will not let people kidnap a prince of the dynasty, and even said politely: "Duke Luguo, please, Dali Temple has prepared a room, please stay first." ”

This is also Sun Fujia's cleverness, although the emperor wants to take Hou Junji into custody, but how to deal with it is not known. In any case, Hou Junji is also a dignified public, and it is not good to be openly locked in prison, especially in that dark cell. There are also some special cells in Dali Temple, which are no different from the rooms of ordinary inns, which are not luxurious, but they are also clean and comfortable, just suitable for people with status like Hou Junji.

"I'm tired." Although Hou Junji said this, he didn't appreciate it much in his heart.

Sun Fujia was not angry when he saw it, such a reaction was completely reasonable, but he had a vague premonition. I'm afraid that Hou Junji's matter will not be very simple, the emperor has already set off from Luoyang to return to Chang'an, and there may be a storm in the court, and I don't know what kind of storm it will be.

Dali Temple has been implicated recently, I just want not to fall too deep, at least not to sink yourself into, this muddy water or try not to wade too deep. It's just that a lot of times, a lot of things are helpless.

……

In the East Palace, Su Gan Chengji was in a hurry, and his expression was a little dignified.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Hou Junji is back."

"How?" When Li Chengqian heard the news, his expression suddenly became nervous.

Su Gan Chengji said: "As expected, as soon as Hou Junji handed over the seal letter in the military department, Sun Fujia brought people over. ”

"Really? Is there a ...... Hou Junji" Li Chengqian hurriedly asked, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Su Gan Chengji said: "I was a little displeased, and I made a fuss for a while, but in the end I followed Sun Fujia away, but I don't know what the result is." ”

Li Chengqian pondered for a moment and ordered: "Then prepare, follow our established strategy, and protect Hou Junji no matter what." (To be continued.) )
