Hou Junji, who was under the watch, did not change at all.

The current situation, he already knows how many times he has deduced it in his heart.

"Your Majesty."

Hou Junji took the initiative to come out and fell to his knees.

He said in a deep voice:

"The criminal minister told His Majesty before he set out on the expedition that the criminal minister should be shrouded in horse leather and returned to repay the grace of heaven."

"But in the end, the criminal still supported this stump and returned to Chang'an, breaking his promise."

"The criminal minister had no face to face His Majesty, and he wanted to draw his sword and commit suicide at the moment of the end of the war, but his colleagues dissuaded him, saying that the life of the criminal minister should be decided by His Majesty, and the criminal minister has no right to deal with it."

"The guilty minister also wanted to see His Majesty for the last time in his heart, so he returned with a cheeky face, and now that he has seen Tianyan, he has no regrets in his heart."

"Please condemn your majesty and kill you, the guilty minister, and bow to the law."

Bang!

When the words fell, Hou Junji's head knocked on the floor tiles, and there was a crisp sound.

In the Liangyi Palace, there was silence.

Li Shimin looked at Hou Junji's posture, and his expression was also a little complicated.

If there is no Xu Fenglei, he is still relatively tolerant of meritorious heroes, and he can make meritorious contributions.

In a situation like Hou Junji, it can already be eliminated.

But he had to take care of Xu Fenglei.

Alas......

If this old boy died in Tuyuhun, I could give him a wife and a shadow, endless mourning.

But he came back.

was told by Xu Fenglei again.

"I ......"

Li Shimin looked hesitant and couldn't speak, so he looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and said,

"What do you think of the auxiliary?"

Seek off-site assistance, and take a look at the attitude of the ministers.

The eldest grandson Wuji was a little confused, he thought to himself, what does Your Majesty mean by this?

If you have any inclinations, but hint at it, then I can help you take the lead.

What does this mean, just let me have an opinion?

Dig a hole for us?

This eldest grandson Wuji has wronged Li Shimin, but in fact, Li Er, a tangled maniac, has not completely thought about it.

"Back to Your Majesty."

The eldest grandson Wuji arched his hand,

"Since ancient times, there has been a saying that meritorious service is made for sin, but there are also people who say that merit and demerit cannot be offset."

"If you can wear the guilt and make meritorious service, then it seems that Hou Jun's merit of Tuguhun can indeed offset his sins, avoid the death penalty, and restore the throne."

"But if it is said that the merits and demerits cannot be offset, then his capital crime must still be discussed, and the merits can also be discussed, and his knighthood can be obtained by the heirs of his family."

"Both have their own reasons, and it is up to Your Majesty to decide how to deal with them in the end."

Li Shimin: "......"

Listening to your words is like listening to your words.

It's the same as not saying it! This ball kicks, convinced.

Li Er rolled his eyes, but he also had a tendency in his heart.

"With the merit of Hou Junji, it falls on the head of his heir's family, what title can he get?"

He turned to look at Fang Xuanling and asked.

This question surprised the ministers!

Hou Junji's face changed slightly, slightly pale.

He has deduced many times, and he thinks that the possibility that he can make meritorious contributions is very great!

But in the end, the emperor wanted him to make his merits incompensable!

Lao Tzu worked desperately on the battlefield, and several times he was almost beheaded by the enemy!

Why are you working so hard?

Emperor, your heart is really ruthless!

Hou Junji clenched his fists and lowered his head, with a look of hatred in his eyes.

"Back to Your Majesty."

Although Fang Xuanling was a little surprised, he still responded quickly,

"On the merits of Hou Junji alone, his merits can be sealed."

"Because he repeatedly dared to die first, he broke the Tugu Hun army, and finally brought back Murong Fuyun's head."

"Therefore, you can be named a marquis!"

Li Shimin bowed slightly.

The gold content of the marquis is not low.

But Hou Junji's military exploits are indeed outstanding, and it is not too much to seal the marquis.

"Marquis ......"

Li Shimin looked at Hou Junji and said,

"Junji, if you say that the merits and demerits cannot be offset, then I will punish you, and naturally I will not treat you badly!"

"You can choose two heirs, one to inherit the duke you originally stripped of, and the other to inherit this marquis!"

"Your Hou family is a duke and a marquis, and you can also rest with the country!"

He thought about it, but he still chose this path.

Hou Junji went to die and made the descendants of the Hou family rich.

This can be regarded as worthy of Hou Junji, and he can give Xu Fenglei an explanation.

However, when Hou Junji heard this, he grabbed the ground with his head and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, the sinners only have sins, what merit?"

"Please Your Majesty only punish the sinful ministers, and don't reward the merits! Otherwise, even if the sinner is under the Nine Springs, he will be terrified! ”

"The criminal minister only has one wish to confess his guilt and obey the law, please allow Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin frowned slightly.

How can this still be bent on death?

"Your Majesty, General Rong Mo said that General Hou has only one son, and his son is extremely unfilial! He once insulted his father, and he had already severed the father-son relationship with General Hou, and he didn't get along with each other for a long time, and now he doesn't know where to go. ”

"If Your Majesty rewards him, it will add to General Hou's heart!"

Colleagues on the side helped.

"Don't mention that rebel!"

Hou Junji let out a low roar, his expression a little hideous.

At this moment, his true feelings were revealed, because that rebel had really brought him great pain!

"This ......"

When Li Shimin heard this, his expression began to become entangled again.

"Your Majesty, Hou Junji has made great contributions, please let him make the merits for his crimes!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! Even if his merits are not enough to redeem the death penalty, then at least the punishment can be reduced! Ten or five years of guilt is good! ”

"That's right! Hou Junji charged into battle and was not afraid of death, which everyone saw in their eyes, please ask Your Majesty to reduce his capital crime! ”

“……”

For a while, all the generals opened their mouths to intercede for Hou Junji!

It's not that this has an iron relationship with Hou Junji, it's completely out of a simple feeling!

After making such great achievements, you still have to die when you come back?

Who can accept this!

As far as their urine nature is concerned, they may also commit crimes in the future, and if they can't redeem their merits, then won't they be finished?

Therefore, helping Hou Junji, from a certain point of view, is also helping himself!

The generals pleaded, but Li Jing, who was the leader, and Xue Rengui were silent, waiting for the changes.

They won't help plead, it's good not to step on two feet!

"Hmmm......"

Li Shimin stroked his beard, and the balance in his heart began to tilt in another direction.

I want to get by in my heart.

The simple wishes of the soldiers should also be considered, and the meritorious officers should not be chilled......

But at this moment, a voice broke through the air!

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to be impeached!"

The sound is powerful and instantly recognizable!

Without turning his head, he knew that it must be Wei Zheng who spoke!

I saw Wei Zheng walking out of the queue with blazing eyes.

"Oh?"

Li Shimin was stunned and said,

"Impeachment?"

"Wei Zheng, who are you going to impeach?"

All the generals were a little unhappy, and shouted one after another:

"Wei Shizhong, if you want to impeach, it will be a while! Now I'm discussing Hou Junji's life and death! ”

"Yes! Don't be in such a hurry! Come one by one! ”

Everyone is cheering and putting pressure on the emperor.

As soon as Wei Zheng stirred up, the pressure was all discharged!

"Huh."

Wei Zheng's face did not change, and he said coldly,

"Not for a while!"

"Because what I want to impeach is all the soldiers, including Hou Junji and Er!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar!

The faces of the generals suddenly became extremely ugly!

This old man...... What do you mean! Deliberately to disgust them?

"Impeachment? What are you going to impeach? We are all heroes! ”

"That's it! Wei Zheng, we respect you as a minister to be polite to you, but you can't impeach indiscriminately! ”

"Bite indiscriminately!"

“……”

All of a sudden, the contradictions were all transferred to Wei Zheng's body.

Hou Junji's matter, but no one cares about it......

"Silence!"

Li Shimin raised his hand.

The generals quieted down at this time, but looking at their expressions, they still looked extremely angry, and they all glared at Wei Zheng viciously!

"Wei Zheng, the soldiers are all heroes of bloody fighting, why do you want to impeach?"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice,

"You can't be untargeted and deliberately find fault!"

Wei Zheng snorted coldly and looked at the emperor with his head raised.

"Your Majesty, when did the minister have no purpose and find fault for no reason?"

He said aloud,

"There is a reason why the minister wants to impeach them!"

"According to Wuli Sima's battle report, Li Jing has no military law in his army! Military discipline is very loose! The soldiers below are even more lawless! ”

"Every time they conquer a Tuyuhun city or tribe, the first thing the soldiers do is not to clean up the battlefield and take credit for ascending the throne, but to burn and loot, and collect countless trophies for themselves!"

"If this is about military law, all of them will be beaten with military sticks, at least fifty sticks!"

"But Li Jing connived at this kind of behavior, and even accepted the filial piety of generals from all walks of life behind his back!"

"The bosses are like this, can the generals below still be able to manage it?"

"Therefore, the total amount of the loot recovered this time is only thirty percent at most, and the rest have all been embezzled by soldiers at all levels!"

"If this kind of appalling and crazy thing is not impeached, but the minister really doesn't know what the meaning of his existence is!"

A word, impassioned, bitter to show its harm!

All the martial artists will be sprayed wildly by this meal, and they are all submissive and empty-hearted.

Because......

What Wei Zheng said was true.

It is true that they are greedy for the big head and give the small head to the state - but this is also the custom in the military!

Isn't that how war money was made?

Otherwise, why are all those founding generals so rich? Do you really think they are very high?

"Sancheng?"

Li Shimin's face changed, and he looked at Li Jing,

"Pharmacist, is there such a thing?"

"The situation in your own army is not clear to Wei Zheng, right?"

Li Jing's heart sank.

"Back to Your Majesty."

He went out and saluted, and bowed his hand,

"The military discipline in the army is indeed a little loose, the crime of this minister!"

"Please punish Your Majesty!"

Li Jing didn't defend himself, and directly admitted it.

There are some things, if you don't weigh it, you can't beat it if you don't weigh it for a thousand pounds!

Generally, when he wins a battle, the emperor doesn't care much about this, didn't he do the same when His Majesty was still the King of Qin?

If you want to care, at most you will think about it in private, knocking and knocking.

But if it is put on the table and put it on the court, the meaning will be completely different!

If you don't punish it heavily, it can't be justified!

Whether this matter was the emperor's intention, or Wei Zheng himself had to poke it out, he didn't know.

He was only worried...... The title and food he just got won't fly again, right?

A stick of incense 'Wei Guogong' experience?

Bang!

Li Shimin slapped on the dragon chair with a serious gaze.

"How dare you be so presumptuous!"

"Do you really think that if you win the battle, I won't pursue anything?"

"I think I have merit to protect my body, but my fault is to tickle, won't it hurt my muscles and bones?"

"Huh!"

A cold drink frightened the generals' hearts to beat drums.

"Your Majesty, after all, it is an expedition of laborers, and it is difficult to boost morale, and the generals and commanders of the army can only make this strategy to motivate the soldiers, which is also a helpless thing......"

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's all for morale! If you don't give incentives to fight outside, you won't be able to give full play to the combat effectiveness of the soldiers......"

"That's ......"

“……”

Several generals defended, but Li Shimin sneered.

"Oh? Is it? ”

Li Er smiled,

"Then when Xu Fenglei conquered the Turks, why hadn't he heard of such a scandal?"

"The military discipline in his army is notoriously strict! There were even soldiers who were killed with rods for embezzling property! ”

"It's also a foreign war, and it's much more difficult to exterminate the Turks than to exterminate Tuguhun! How can the soldiers under Xu Fenglei be able to achieve strict military discipline, but you can't? ”

"So many reasons? It's all about making excuses for corruption! ”

"The people I hate the most are the corrupt people!"

The emperor is furious!

The aura is fully open, and the suppressed ministers dare not come out, and the atmosphere in the Liangyi Hall is extremely depressing!

Hou Junji's face began to turn ugly.

He has deduced so many times, but not once like this!

Plan...... Is it really not able to keep up with the changes?

"Li Jing, are you guilty of bringing the army like this?"

Li Shimin stood with his hands in his hands, his expression grim.

"Minister, confess."

Li Jing knelt on the ground and said in a low voice,

"Your Majesty, please condemn you."

"Good!" Li Shimin didn't talk nonsense, and said straightforwardly, "Remove Li Jing from all military positions, fine him for three years, and order you to think about it behind closed doors at home, and you are not allowed to go out without reason!" ”

Masturbate to the end!

This punishment is not insignificant!

But Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, I didn't cut the title I just felt.

The military power was originally to be handed over, and the position was also a military secretary, as for the ...... He's not short of that money.

And think about it behind closed doors?

He was about to go home to retire.

"Minister, thank you!"

After careful calculation, there was no real loss, and Li Jing simply pleaded guilty to the law.

"Hmm."

Li Shimin's expression eased a little, and said,

"As for the other generals, all the combat exploits have been cut off from the first rank, no, the second rank!"

"If anyone dares to say that he has not embezzled a penny, now stand up, I can not reduce his lordship!"

"Is there one? Have it? ”

"Isn't there any?!"

His gaze was like a falcon, roaming over the faces of the generals.

And a group of military generals were already in a cold sweat at the moment, beads of sweat the size of beans were dripping on the floor tiles, and their voices were crisp.

"Your Majesty, the last general has not embezzled a single point!"

Just as the pressure on the generals was mounting, a voice rang out, breaking the silence.
