Ha, hit the little monkey, this old monkey really couldn't help but jump out, hey, interesting! Li Zhen didn't even turn her head back, just listening to the voice, she knew that the old guy who jumped out and shouted that it was Hou Junji, she had already known it in her heart, but she didn't pay too much attention to it, and knelt there without the slightest inappropriate reaction.

Hou Junji, Sanshui (now Houjia Village, Tuqiao Town, Xunyi, Shaanxi) people, since childhood, pretentious, good boasting, playing with bows and arrows and can not become its art, but to martial arts self-proclaimed, very early became the shogunate of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, many times with the army, quite favored, participated in the premeditation, is one of the main planners of the Xuanwumen incident, has made great contributions, Jin Feng Luguo Gong, successively served as the general of the left guard, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Shangshu and other important positions, participated in many Tang foreign wars, to Zhenguan 14 years after the battle of destroying Gaochang in August, the reputation is to the extreme, however, Shortly thereafter, Hou Junji, who had just returned to Chang'an, was imprisoned for being accused of taking money and property in the battle to destroy the Gaochang Kingdom.

There has always been a saying in the land of China that the poor are rich and martial, and those generals who lead the troops to fight are fighting, who has never taken property privately, let alone property, even privateer beauties as concubines also abound, not to mention Li Jing, Cheng Zhijie and the like, that is, Li Shimin did not do such things less when he was in the battle of Tang Liguo - most of Li Shimin's favorite concubines were robbed, and the big and small Yang concubines were like this, this is the practice of generals, and it is not a big crime, but others have nothing to do, and Hou Junji's turn has to be imprisoned, I'm afraid that it's difficult for outsiders to understand the strangeness here, and the left and right are just the emperor's mental tricks and the way of balance, but there is no need to say more.

Hou Junji's unjust Li Zhen didn't bother to pay attention to it at all, but Li Zhen knew very well: Hou Junji was the prince's biggest pillar and reliance in the army, as soon as he fell, the prince's voice in the army suddenly collapsed half of the sky, and a new spokesperson was urgently needed. Li Zhen will find it strange.

Li Shimin was already in doubt, but when he saw Hou Junji standing up at this time, he was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Hou Aiqing has something to say, but it's okay to talk about it, I listen." ”

Hou Junji bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that His Royal Highness the King of Yue is a brave champion of the three armies, but he has never done military affairs, and the vanguard of this army is extraordinary. Moreover, the sage cloud: the son of the daughter can't sit down, His Royal Highness the King of Yue has a noble status, and he is in danger of fighting on the battlefield with the respect of the prince, if there is a loss, where is the face of the court? Third, my Tang Dynasty is like a cloud, but I still need the prince to go on the expedition, wouldn't it make Xue Yantuo's junior laugh at my Tang Dynasty No one cares, so it is very inappropriate for the old minister to think that His Royal Highness King Yue is the vanguard. ”

As soon as Hou Junji's words fell, the crown prince Shao Zhan Shi and Zhang Liang, the servant of the ministry, immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Hou Gong said is extremely true, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice." ”

"Your Majesty thinks twice."

"The ministers think that what Hou and Zhang Ergong said is very true, and I hope that Your Majesty will know it."

……

Good guys, Hou and Zhang had just finished speaking, and more than a dozen people stood up with a snort, and when they opened their mouths, they echoed loudly, and for a while, the words such as "Your Majesty thinks twice" and "Your Majesty Mingjian" rang endlessly, and Li Shimin's brows furrowed when he heard it, but he muttered and did not express his position immediately.

The matter involved the dispute between the prince and the prince, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to get involved easily, and the stage was quiet for a while, and at this moment of silence, Wei Zheng stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that what Hou and Zhang Ergong said is exaggerated, and the position of the prince is noble, but isn't it human?" According to the theories of Hou and Zhang, could it be that my soldiers of the Tang Dynasty just waited and couldn't do it? Lao Chen thinks that the country chooses generals, and morality should be the first, and the rest don't have to worry too much. ”

Huhu, Old Man Wei said this harshly, grandma, finally helped us say a good thing, otherwise, we really want to hate you for being old. How the prince's family of people said that Li Zhen didn't take it to heart, but as soon as he saw Wei Zheng come forward, Li Zhen was really taken aback, without him, every time Li Zhen came out with a new thing, the old man Wei was allowed to oppose it, which made Li Zhen embarrassed, this time when he heard that the old man Wei was helping himself to speak, Li Zhen's hanging heart finally fell, but well, the heart was chattering, Li Zhen still knelt there steadily, not to mention the echo, even his face did not change.

Not to mention, Old Man Wei has always been upright and has a very high prestige in the DPRK, as soon as he said this, there were quite a few upright ministers who stood up and seconded the proposal, and for a while, the officials kneeling on the high platform were no longer old or young, but Li Shimin's face was still flat, and he never opened his mouth to express his position.

Li Tai, the king of Wei, who was standing in the queue of princes, peeked at the pale-faced prince, and then looked at Li Zhen, who was kneeling on the ground with a calm face, his eyes rolled a few times, and he quietly made a secret sign to the Zhongshu waiter Cen Wenwen, but seeing that Cen Wenwen bowed slightly, walked out of the civil official queue, knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that what the ministers say is reasonable, and the old minister thinks that His Royal Highness the King of Yue is a general selected from the army, and there is no reason not to allow him to go on the expedition, but considering the age and experience of the King of Yue, The old minister thought that he should choose a stable veteran for His Royal Highness the King of Yue to assist, and he should be sure that nothing goes wrong. ”

"Oh?" Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully, and asked with a smile: "Who does Cen Aiqing plan to sponsor as a deputy?" ”

"The minister thinks that Wang Youlin, the general of Zuowei Zhonglang, is the most suitable, this person has participated in the two battles of my Tang Dynasty to destroy Tuyuhun and Gaochang Kingdom, he is loyal and reliable, and he is proficient in strategy, and he is the deputy of His Royal Highness the King of Yue, and he should be able to protect the army." Cen Wenwen kowtowed and replied respectfully.

Ha, damn, it's Gasai's idea to dare to love the fourth child, grandma's, I thought that the fourth bastard wanted to help us, and after a long time, his kid was also eyeing the big cake of the army. Cen Wenwen is the fourth person, this article is very few people in the Tang Dynasty, if it weren't for Li Zhen holding the "Rising Sun" in his hand, he wouldn't understand the root cause, at this time, when he heard Cen Wenwen's words, he was immediately angry, but this was not the time for him to speak, Li Zhen had to endure it first.

Seeing that Li Shimin was about to open his mouth, the prince was really anxious, and he couldn't take care of much, so he dragged a lame leg and stood up from the chair next to Li Shimin, bowed and said: "Father, the son thinks that although what Lord Cen said is reasonable, but the candidate for this deputy general is not very suitable, although Wang Youlin has been in the army for a long time and has been in war, but his reputation is not obvious, and he is not a brave general of ten thousand enemies, it may be inappropriate to use it as a deputy vanguard. Although this person was defeated by the eighth brother just now, however, he can exchange guns for guns with the eighth brother, and it is already the choice of 10,000 enemies in the army, coupled with its long-term war, not only can protect the army, but also protect the safety of the eighth brother. ”

As soon as the prince said this, Li Taike, the king of Wei, couldn't bear it, and hurriedly strode out and said: "Father, the son thinks that what the prince's brother said may be inappropriate, although Hou Guozhong is brave, but under the gun of the eighth brother is just a two-in-one general, how can he keep the eighth brother safe, and besides, the son thinks that the courage of the eighth brother in the vanguard is enough, and he only needs to match the eighth brother with an old and serious general to keep the army safe. ”

Yes, the two of them fought again, and Li Ke, the king of Wu, who was originally standing on the sidelines and watching the excitement, couldn't stand it, but he didn't have any influence in the army at all, and there were only three or two kittens in his hands, and he couldn't lift them on the table at all, but seeing that the prince and the fourth brother had shown up, he didn't want to be left behind, so he hurriedly followed: "Father, the son thinks that since the eighth brother is brave and crowns the three armies, this vanguard seal should be in the hands of the eighth brother. ”

Hehe, damn, the third child is really a ruthless person, grandma's, kicked the ball to Lao Tzu with one kick, isn't this forcing Lao Tzu to offend people? Dog day! Li Zhen saw through the intention of the third child at a glance - at this time, the prince and the fourth child each launched a candidate, Li Zhen wants whoever he wants, he will offend people, if he doesn't want any of them, then he will offend the prince and the fourth child in a row, this matter for a lifetime, Li Zhen naturally has no possibility to fall to the prince or Li Tai again, unless Li Zhen is self-reliant, if he wants to avoid the ensuing plots, he can only fall to him Li Ke?

Sure enough, after listening to Li Ke's words, Li Shimin glanced at the ministers kneeling on the ground, fell his eyes on Li Zhen's body, and asked indifferently: "Zhen'er, what do you mean?" ”

How is it? Dog's day, what else? Your old man will go by himself. Li Zhen was willing to drill the sleeve under the third cloth, and said with a deep sigh: "The son has no objection, everything respectfully asks for the holy judgment." ”

Li Zhen's ability to shirk Li Shimin has long been accustomed to it, but he didn't get angry about it, he glanced at Li Zhen meaningfully, Huo Ran stood up and said: "I have made up my mind, Li Zhen, the king of Yue, is the vanguard of the army, and Qin Huaiyu, Hou Guozhong, and Wang Youlin are the deputy vanguard, and the army will march after tomorrow." As soon as the words fell, he took the lead and walked off the platform, and the ministers hurriedly followed.

What? Am you not mistaken? One is three deputies, old man, alas, this is an expedition, and it's not a teapot with a teacup, what are so many deputies doing, damn the way of balance, isn't this looking for trouble for Lao Tzu? Li Zhen was in a hurry, sweating all over her head, but seeing that the old man had already made a will, even if he was wronged, there was no place to reason, and there was no way, so he had to hold back his stomach full of anger and turn back to his own palace without mentioning it.
