Chapter 373: Hou Junji returns
In the Qin period, the bright moon and the Han period, the Long March has not been returned. But to make the dragon city fly will not teach Humadu Yin Mountain
This is Wang Changling's song out of the stopper, since ancient times, the people of the Central Plains have hoped to prevent the Hu people from passing the pass.
The same is true of the meaning expressed in the poem.
But today, Chang'an City Chunming Gate is crowded with people, because today the prince of Luguo returned triumphantly, and offered more than 20,000 prisoners and more than 10,000 war horses.
After Hou Junji received Li Shimin's holy decree to let his squad return to the court, the whole army set out, but because he carried a large number of prisoners and captured weapons and equipment, the marching speed was extremely slow.
They could have come back in a month, but they walked for two months.
Finally arrived today.
Hou Junji was dressed in military uniform, riding a high-headed horse, and walked in the front.
Many officials at the city gate greeted them here, led by Li Tai, the king of Wei, and Li Zhi, the king of Jin.
Hou Junji glanced at it from a distance and found that there was no Li Shimin, so he couldn't help frowning, and there was a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.
"See His Royal Highness the King of Wei and His Royal Highness the King of Jin."
"Lu Guogong has worked hard." Li Tai, the king of Wei, said.
"Yes, Lu Guogong really praised my Tang Guowei this time." Li Zhi, the king of Jin, also approving.
"Thank you to the two princes for their praise, and the ministers offered Xue Yantuo 26,000 prisoners."
Without Li Shimin, Hou Junji doesn't want to talk nonsense with the two hairy children.
Originally, it was twenty-eight, but now there are twenty-six left, and some died halfway through.
"Okay, this king accepts the prisoner of Duke Lu on behalf of Aye, Duke Lu Guo please go to the Taiji Palace, Aya is waiting for the triumph of Duke Lu there." Li Tai completely ignored Li Zhi beside him, and said alone, as if Li Shimin had only arranged for him to accept the prisoners alone.
Li Zhi's eyes flashed with fierceness, and he became gentle again.
At this time, the ministers behind the two also stepped forward to congratulate Hou Junji on his triumphant return. The admiration is palpable.
Hou Junji rode his horse and walked down the street leading to the palace, lined with welcoming people. This reminded him of those glorious days in the past.
Soon Hou Junji entered the palace and came to the Daji Palace.
"See Your Majesty, the minister was fortunate not to dishonor, intercepted Xue Yantuo barbarians, beheaded 12,000 enemies, captured 26,000 people, and 13,000 horses.
It's a pity that there are still seven or eight thousand barbarians who have escaped, please ask Your Majesty to surrender. ”
Hou Junji came up to ask for guilt, and did not say how difficult this battle was.
"Aiqing is guilty of something, and now I am very satisfied with the results. You are my beloved general, an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and you have come to pass on the decree. Li Shimin said to Hou Junji with a smile.
Wang De took out the holy decree that had been prepared long ago,
"Under the door: ..... The prince of Luguo Junji attacked and killed Xue Yantuo barbarians, and the civil and military mergers,.......... Appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Soldiers. The bounty is 500,000 yuan, a white jade carving, and 100 brocade silk horses........"
The content of the decree is very concise, the main thing is to seal the marquis as the secretary of the military department, and the rest is some rewards.
In fact, it was to reinstate Hou Junjiguan, he used to be the secretary of the military department, and was later temporarily replaced by Li Daozong.
Now that Li Daozong has gone to Goguryeo, Hou Junji has returned to his original position.
When Li Daozong came back, he directly entered the sect.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Aiqing has worked hard all the way, and today I have a banquet, and we will enjoy together."
The place where Li Shimin set up a banquet was not in the palace, but a wine club in heaven and earth, Li Shimin's meaning was very simple, since he wanted to play, he had a good time.
He sent someone to inform Ji Wangfu, and he believed that Ji Wangfu would arrange everything.
moved his mouth above, broke his leg below, and the will came into the hands of Wang Xuance, and Wang Xuance immediately notified Wang Hongfu.
Wang Hongfu only took half an hour to get things done, and the entire heaven and earth were emptied. Don't ask why, the scourge of Chang'an is watching the scene.
When Li Shimin came to heaven and earth with his ministers, he had already begun to prepare a banquet here.
Li Shimin was very happy with the efficiency of Ji Wangfu, and he was happy, Wang Hongfu asked to see him.
"See Your Majesty, the villain is here to bother Your Majesty, sign this list, and the villain will have an explanation with the prince."
When Wang Hongfu said this, his forehead was already sweating, and his legs were a little trembling.
"What do you mean?" Li Shimin didn't understand.
"Your Majesty, this is the rule set by the prince, all shareholders hold a banquet here, and there is no charge in heaven and earth.
Just sign a certificate on it, and wait until the end of the year, ..... Resist.. Deduction of dividends. ”
Wang Hongfu's mouth trembled. This prince is too tricky, and his father still cares about eating.
"What? I'm the biggest shareholder here, and I still need money for a meal? Li Shimin said angrily.
Don't say that you are a shareholder, you are not a shareholder who goes to your son for a meal, and your son still needs money, which is a shame.
"Your Majesty, this is not what the villain said, this is the rule set by the prince. The villain did not dare to disobey either. "Wang Hongfu is about to cry,
"Why?" Li Shimin asked.
"The prince said that there are too many shareholders, if they are all exempted, more than 100 people will not be closed in heaven and earth.
Therefore, the rule set by the prince is that everyone must sign the order. ”
Looking at the trembling Wang Hongfu, Li Shimin was really angry, but it was a pity that Li Shen was not by his side, otherwise he would have to whip a few whips.
Li Shimin did not embarrass Wang Hongfu, he was just a subordinate, and he himself dropped the price if he was embarrassed.
Li Shimin, who was helpless, could only pick up a brush and write his name on the brush.
Wang Hongfu nodded and retreated.
Soon the banquet began, and the monarchs and ministers pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and danced.
Li Shimin took his ministers to the tea house to taste it, and Hou Junji followed Li Shimin throughout the whole process.
"Aiqing, I know that you have resentment in your heart, and I blame me for being unfair to you." Li Shimin said while drinking tea.
"The minister doesn't dare, the minister is loyal to His Majesty, and whatever His Majesty asks the minister to do, the minister will do it, without complaint." Hou Junji hurriedly stood up and said.
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.
In the end, he went to the bathing department, where Hou Junji did not follow Li Shimin, he kept soaking in hot water, which is Hou Junji's favorite project.
"Congratulations to the public officials of Luguo on their reinstatement. It's really gratifying. At this time, Li Tai didn't know when he came to Hou Junji's side.
"Thank you, King Wei." Hou Junji thanked him.
Li Tailai's purpose Hou Junji is very clear, and now that he has been promoted to the secretary of the military department, Li Tai wants to win himself over.
It's just that he just fell to a prince as soon as he was promoted, and he couldn't say anything.
At this moment, Li Shimin was listening to Ang Lee's report in a box.
"Have you found out all the horses?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the hundred horsemen have already gone to the prisoner camp to check, and the news from the north has also arrived, confirming the previous secret report." Li An said affirmatively.
"Send a hundred horsemen to check immediately, I want to know where I went. And that lieutenant. Li Shimin's face was gloomy at the moment.
"Back to Your Majesty, the hundred horsemen have already gone to investigate, but the hundred horses sent out have not come back yet, and we have also sent people to monitor the lieutenant general, and we have not yet contacted anyone."
After Li An finished speaking, Li Shimin waved his hand, and Li An silently retreated. Then he sighed,
"What exactly do you want to do?"
(There is some water in this chapter, because it was temporarily added, in order to fill the pit of Hou Junji.) Understanding)
