Since Li Yong and Ma Zhou have found out this result, what else is there to check? Wei Zheng bowed.

"Sage, Hou Junji was corrupt and perverted the law, killed the King of Gaochang, humiliated the Princess of Gaochang, ruined the reputation of the Tang Dynasty, damaged the prestige of the Son of Heaven, and asked the sage to behead Hou Junji to correct the world!"

Hiss~ Cheng Biting Jin and the others couldn't help but gasp, they didn't expect that Wei Zheng, the old man, was really ruthless, and he directly asked for the execution of Hou Junji, and Kong Yingda and others also came out one after another.

"Please ask the saint to severely punish Hou Junji!"

Li Er's brows furrowed directly, this was the last thing he wanted to see, and it was also the last thing he wanted to face, at this time, the eldest grandson Wuji came out of the ranks.

"I think Chen Guogong is also confused for a while, Chen Guogong followed the sage before and after the saddle, performed meritorious deeds, although he was confused and made a big mistake, but the crime is not to death!"

Wei Chigong shouted.

"What I said is, how can there be a teacher who has won a battle and returned to the DPRK and was severely punished? Doesn't this chill the hearts of all the soldiers? ”

Wei Zheng said in a deep voice.

"The state has national laws, the family has family rules, and Hou Junji has merit, but don't the saints and the court reward their merits? Merit should be rewarded, and there should be punishment! ”

Just when there was an endless argument in the main hall, a little eunuch walked into the main hall and said respectfully.

"Enlightened saint, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks to see you!"

The prince is coming? Li Er said in a deep voice.

"Xuan!"

Li Chengqian walked into the main hall, and immediately felt the strong smell of gunpowder in the hall, his gaze swept over everyone, and he was particularly surprised when it fell on Li Yong, he didn't expect that Li Yong didn't exonerate Hou Junji? There are many times when he really can't guess what Li Yong is thinking, and when he wants to get married, he still can't understand why Li Yong reacted so much, and even made a big fuss at the expense of losing his official position, such as this time, Li Yong, as a military general, shouldn't he properly stand on Hou Junji's side? Hou Junji didn't commit any heinous crimes, Li Chengqian couldn't figure out what Li Yong was thinking, but at this time, he still had to solve the problem in front of him, he said with a smile.

"Father, the son knows that his father is trying the case of Hou Junji, and the son also happens to know a little bit of the inside story."

The people in the hall couldn't help but be slightly stunned after hearing it, the prince still knows the inside story? What does the prince know? Li Yong and Ma Zhou have already thoroughly investigated, could there be anything missing? Li Er raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.

"Oh? Gao Ming, what do you know? ”

Li Chengqian said respectfully.

"Back to my father, Erchen also heard that Lord Wei impeached Chen Guogong for three major crimes, of which the second and third Erchen did not agree with each other, the second, Chen Guogong did intimidate and torture King Gaochang, that was to collect the seeds of white stacked flowers, Erchen felt that this should not be counted as Chen Guogong's guilt, as for the third article, Erchen heard that it was Princess Gaochang who took the initiative to seduce Chen Guogong, so the fault is not Chen Guogong!"

Li Yong couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, Li Chengqian is really shameless, you are simply a shameless ancestor! GIVE YOU A THUMBS UP AND A CALL! Even said such a thing, King Gaochang took the initiative to seduce Hou Junji? Just Hou Junji, that bad old man? Wei Zheng, Ma Zhou and others couldn't help but be slightly stunned when they heard this, whether it was Hou Junji who Princess Gaochang took the initiative to seduce, this is really difficult to verify, after all, the incident happened in the distant Gaochang Kingdom, although they didn't believe it, but they couldn't come up with evidence to refute it, Li Er nodded as if he had something to do.

"I see, Hou Junji is really old and confused, and he was tempted by the beauty of Princess Gaochang, which is really disappointing!"

Wei Zheng heard it and found that something was wrong, and immediately said in a deep voice.

"Sage, this happened in Gaochang Kingdom, it is difficult to verify, whether it is Princess Gaochang who took the initiative to seduce Hou Junji, Hou Junji has committed a big crime!"

Li Chengqian muttered unhurriedly.

"Father, Lord Wei, whether it was Hou Junji who Princess Gaochang took the initiative to seduce, Hou Junji's personal soldiers knew best, as long as they interrogated it, it would be clear."

Wei Zheng snorted.

"Since they are Hou Junji's personal soldiers, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not favor Hou Junji."

Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"Lord Wei, although they are Hou Junji's personal soldiers, they are also the subjects of their father's emperor, I believe that it is impossible for them to lie against the holy will, father, in fact, the sons asked Hou Junji's personal soldiers, it is indeed Hou Junji who Princess Gaochang took the initiative to seduce."

Li Er breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he had to keep Hou Junji no matter what, but with these excuses, at least he didn't have to worry about Wei Zheng and the others, Li Er said in a deep voice.

"The three major crimes impeached by Wei Zheng, Hou Junji forced King Gaochang to kill King Gaochang in order to collect seeds, I don't think this is a crime, as for insulting Princess Gaochang, I am also very sad to hear it, although Princess Gaochang took the initiative to seduce, but Hou Junji still made a big mistake, as for hiding property, this is indeed there. However, Hou Junji's sin is not to death, over the years, Hou Junji has followed a certain saddle before and after the horse, both merit and hard work! However, meritorious deeds, due punishment, Hou Junji, although this expedition destroyed Gaochang Kingdom, collected 10,000 catties of white stacked flower seeds, but the virtue is lost, its military exploits, recovery of stolen goods, dismissal, fine for three years, punishment for three months of self-reflection. ”

Cheng Yanjin and the others said in unison.

"Sage Shengming!"

Li Er waved his sleeves.

"Stand down!"

Everyone withdrew from the hall, everyone knew that this time it was the generals and nobles who had won, and the Hou Junji incident was nothing more than the beginning of a dispute between the civil and military forces, everyone knew it, of course how could Li Yong not know, Li Chengqian glanced at Li Yong, flicked his sleeves and strode away. Li Yong looked at Li Chengqian's distant back and couldn't help frowning slightly, although he Li Chengqian and Hou Junji were standing together, but today's performance was very unexpected, not at all like the previous Li Chengqian, this situation is very suspicious, those guys from the Intelligence Bureau are lazy, and they are going to whip two whips! Just when he was thinking about Li Chengqian, Cheng Yanjin grabbed Li Yong and asked loudly.

"Did you kid be given some ecstasy by Ma Zhou? Why don't you help Lao Hou speak? Although you and Lao Hou don't deal with each other very much, don't forget, our generals and Lao Hou are in the same group? ”

Are you in the same group as Lao Hou? Don't! I'm not in the same group as Lao Hou, Li Yong said helplessly.

"Uncle Cheng, on the second count, didn't I also help him turn around?"

Wei Chigong shouted.

"Then the second crime, still use your help to turn around? Mainly the third one, don't you use your brain to think about it? ”

Li Yong sighed.

"If Chen Guogong was just greedy for treasures and just killed King Gaochang, then I would say anything to help Chen Guogong, but Chen Guogong actually insulted Princess Gaochang, to be honest, I really feel very disdainful!"

For Cheng Biting Jin, Wei Chi Gong and others, Li Yong didn't say anything to refute, even if they went to tell Hou Junji, it didn't matter, besides, he felt that Cheng Biting Jin and they would most likely not tell Hou Junji these words, originally the relationship between him and Hou Junji was not good, but everyone usually ignored each other, after this time, it is estimated that they will become mortal enemies, of course, Li Yong also feels that it doesn't matter, after all, Hou Junji finally took the road of rebellion, and he can't play like this with him, Cheng Biting Jin, Wei Chigong and the others didn't know what to say for a while when they heard this, although they tried their best to excuse Hou Junji, but they also felt very disdainful in their hearts, but they didn't want to say it. But not everyone is embarrassed to say it, Xu Shiji said lightly.

"Li Yong is right, the old man also thinks that Hou Junji's expedition this time is really disgraceful!"

Only then did Li Yong notice that from beginning to end, Xu Shiji did not say a word for Hou Junji. Strictly speaking, Xu Shiji was not born in the Qin Palace, and he did not participate in the Xuanwumen Change, so the friendship between Xu Shiji and Hou Junji has not been deep, until the emperor asked Li Jing to teach Hou Junji the art of war, the two can be regarded as having a deep connection, but after Li Jing taught Hou Junji the art of war, the relationship between the two is still very flat, reluctantly Xu Shiji is also Hou Junji's uncle, but there is no such love between them as an uncle and nephew, which is very surprising, Cheng Yanjin sighed.

"I hope that after this lesson, Lao Hou can change his ways!"

Although Hou Junji was dismissed from office, they didn't think that Hou Junji would be completely knocked into the dust, and the little eunuch came behind Li Yong and said respectfully.

"Huating Hou, the saint summons!"

Li Yong listened to Cheng Biting Jin and the others, who were a little helpless, and arched his hand, while Cheng Biting Jin and the others were a little gloating, you kid don't come according to the emperor's wishes, you just wait to be reprimanded! Li Yong also knew that Li Er wanted to settle accounts with him, so what? Afraid of you? Li Yong re-entered the hall with his head held high.

"Chen Li Yong meets the saint!"

Li Er hummed with an unkind face.

"XX asked you to investigate thoroughly, but you have been hiding in Lijiazhuang, and you just completed the errand assigned to you by XX?"

Li Yong explained.

"Actually, the minister already knew about this, and he wanted to report to the saint! So just wait for Ma Zhou's findings to be confirmed. “

Li Er said in a deep voice.

"I thought you would intercede for Hou Junji! In fact, Hou Junji has been with a certain for so many years, and a certain is also very sad! ”

Li Yong was silent for a moment and said.

"In fact, Chen Guogong has an average relationship with his ministers, but among the generals, it stands to reason that the ministers should have interceded for him, but Chen Guogong's insult to Queen Gaochang really made the ministers feel disdainful."

Li Yong actually understood Li Er's intention to order him to investigate thoroughly, but he clearly told Li Er, you want me to help Hou Junji exonerate in this matter, I can't do it, he has nothing to fear of Li Er, it doesn't matter if he says it honestly, Li Er couldn't help but be silent when he heard it, he thought a lot, but forgot Li Yong's willfulness, indeed, Li Yong is such a willful person, if you don't like it, you don't like it, Li Er got up and said sadly.

"I didn't expect Hou Junji to be so reckless on this expedition, it was too disappointing, I was very sad and angry after I knew, but I was a person who was in love, Hou Junji was born poor, and he had experienced a lot of humiliation since he was a child, so he was actually very inferior in his heart, his talent was not good, and he was not as good as the famous ministers and good generals in the court, so he has been extraordinarily strong and desperate, not how, he is loyal to a certain person, a certain likes to charge into battle, a certain likes to take his own soldiers to personally detect the enemy army, he is always saddled before and after the horse, He's been traumatized beyond count! ”

For Hou Junji's psychology, in fact, Li Yong can also understand, so this kind of person is more likely to go to extremes, is Hou Junji really loyal to Li Er? But for the sake of wealth and danger? Li Yong hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"Sage, the minister thinks, you should be careful of Hou Junji!"

Li Er was stunned when he heard this, be careful Hou Junji? What does this mean? Although Li Yong did not help Hou Junji intercede, Li Er never expected that Li Yong would say such a thing, be careful Hou Junji? Does it mean that Hou Jun will rebel? This is the first time I have heard such words from Li Yong's mouth, Li Yong is not a person who slanders, Li Er stared at Li Yong, but found that Li Yong's face was very serious.

"What does it mean to be careful Hou Junji? Do you think Hou Junji will rebel? ”

Li Er asked, very likely! But now there is no evidence at all, even if his intelligence bureau has controlled all the intelligence sources in Chang'an, but the intelligence of some special channels is still uncontrollable, Li Yong is also very helpless, there is no accurate information, and now Li Yong is not very sure, after all, he has changed history, Li Yong thought about it and muttered.

"The minister thinks that Hou Junji's greedy and arrogant character is very dangerous!"

Li Er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and shook his head.

"You don't doubt Hou Junji's loyalty, and you don't know about the dangerous experiences of living and dying together with him."

Li Yong didn't think that he could do anything to Hou Junji with his own words, he just reminded Li Er, although, maybe this reminder is useless, but even if he doesn't need to remind him, even if Hou Junji and Li Chengqian really collude together, can they still succeed? Originally wanted to let Li Yong help Hou Junji exonerate it, but I didn't expect Li Yong to see Hou Junji at all, just when Li Yong left the Ganlu Palace, the prince had already gone to Chen Guogong's mansion to announce the decree, Mrs. Hou and Hou Selei were relieved, although the lord was dismissed, the credit was gone, but he was not convicted, and the position of the prince was also retained, which was already overjoyed, as for those treasures, Mrs. Hou happened not to enter the warehouse, and was directly taken away by the princess, just a few days, Hou Junji walked out of Dali Temple, Hou Junji, who returned to the Guogong Mansion, comforted his wife for a few words, and immediately locked himself in the study, and the treasures obtained from the conquest of Gao Changguo were all taken away, and the merits were erased, and he was dismissed from his post and reflected at home for three months, even if the emperor did not let him reflect at home for three months, he had no face to see, this is a war to destroy the country! A battle to destroy the country that can be honored in the annals of history! Just because of this treasure, just because of a few women, they actually wiped out all the credits, and even lost their official positions, compared to the happiness of his wife, Hou Junji felt very resentful in his heart, he still didn't know what happened in the palace, he couldn't understand why the emperor punished him so heavily? His hard work before and after the saddle for so many years, the credit of the Xuanwumen Change, the credit of defeating Tubo, and the credit of the destruction of the Gaochang Kingdom, has the emperor forgotten?

"Dad, the eldest brother-in-law is here, I want to see Dad!"

Hussere's voice rang out outside the study.

"Chu Shi, come in!"

Hou Junji said in a deep voice.

"Meet my father-in-law!"

Helan Chushi bowed and said.

Hussere shouted impatiently.

"Dad, the eldest brother-in-law said that Wei Zheng's old boy was going to kill his father, and it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who came forward to save his father!"

Hou Junji's face suddenly became ugly, although he was imprisoned in Dali Temple, but he never felt that he was worried about his life, he didn't expect Wei Zheng, the old thief, to execute him, even if Wei Zheng was not from the Qin Palace, and he had no friendship with him Hou Junji, he couldn't be so ruthless, Hou Junji asked with a gloomy face.

"Do you know what the situation is?"

Helan Chushi said respectfully.

"The son-in-law knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told the son-in-law all about the situation in the Ganlu Hall at that time."
