Li Xiaoyi obeyed the edict and led his army to Chen Guogong's mansion overnight. This time, five thousand cavalry troops were all out. The heavy pace and the sound of armor and weapon collision made the people in Chang'an city hear the movement at home and wondered what happened. , But dare not go out to watch the excitement.
If they went out, it would be a violation of the curfew. Compared with the illegal activities, the latter must be the first. The people waited patiently for the dawn. At this time, Chen Guogong's mansion was surrounded by the Xiaojia Army regiment, and Li Xiaoyi directly ordered people to smash open the gate of the mansion and seal Chen Guogong's mansion.
Hou Junji’s wives, concubines, housekeepers, servants, etc. were shocked, especially the housekeeper’s complexion suddenly changed, his face was as gray as death. He knew that the matter was revealed, Li Xiaoyi said straightforwardly: "I’ll wait for the edict, whoever dares to stop will kill me. !"
Those people who originally wanted to cry, did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the murderous cavalry. Without Hou Junji's backbone, Chen Guogong's mansion was vulnerable and no one dared to stop it. At the same time, Li Xiaoyi went straight to Hou Junji's bedroom based on the intelligence of the officer in charge of Jinwu. As for Rosana, she was so frightened that she was paralyzed on the ground.
There was a secret tunnel in Hou Jun’s room. Rosana naturally knew it, and she knew that Rosana was in it. Her face was also bloodless, and her pale face stared at Li Xiaoyi’s order to enter the secret tunnel. All his possessions were moved out.

"Who is Rosana?" The women did not dare to agree, for fear of being beheaded on the spot. Li Xiaoyi knew that the man who was limp on the ground was the one who was lying on the ground. "
"Back to the general, I... I am..." Rosana replied intermittently with a bloodless face, terrified, and horrified.
"Take it away, take care of her!" Li Xiaoyi was taken out of Chen Guogong's mansion by the Xiaoqiang soldiers without even looking at her. Li Xiaoyi was also astonished when he looked at the private possessions seized in the secret room and put a seal on him. All were carried into the palace.
As for the frightened Rosana, she was escorted to Dali Temple Prison and held in a female prison. As for Hou Junji’s other wives and concubines, servants, butlers, and others were all arrested and imprisoned, but Helan Chushi, who was still working in the East Palace, was not detained. The arrest, basically Chen Guogong's mansion was done in one pot.
When Hou Junji, who was in the prison of Dali Temple, was taken to a bitter jail by the jailer, he even sweared. At this time, Hou Junji was in the dark. He didn't know what happened in his mansion, and he didn't know whether his actions were known to the emperor, or whether the evidence could not be denied.
After a night of tossing, the light of the crescent moon quietly disappeared, and the night sky full of stars, except for the Venus star, which was still bright as before, gradually disappeared. Li Shimin stayed up all night, sitting in the pavilion drinking wine, Li Kuan came out of the secret tunnel and prepared to leave, but Li Shimin ordered him to enter the palace to accompany him.
Thanks to him, Li Kuan also stayed up all night, with bloodshot eyes and listless face. Unlike Li Shimin's sad face, Li Kuan did not see any sadness on his face, except for sleepiness and fatigue, other expressions. Not really.
"It's time!"
Li Kuan saw that Li Shimin finally spoke, but he was a little surprised. This evening, he was sitting and drinking wine and refreshing. The two of them didn’t say anything. Apart from enjoying the beautiful night sky, Li Shimin didn’t speak until dawn was about to dawn. When it came, Li Shimin's helpless voice was mixed with too many emotions, and Li Kuan didn't know how to answer for a while. ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
"If you were me, what would you do?"
Li Shimin’s sudden words made Li Kuan startled, thinking that he was talking about drinking. After a long time, he was sure that it was not nonsense. He was really asking what he meant. Li Kuan was silent for a moment and replied: "Strict punishment according to law, never forgive!"
Li Shimin did not interrupt, and signaled Li Kuan to continue, "Although Chen Guogong has contributed to the Tang Dynasty, you trust him very much, and you don’t want to add officials to the jue. You will not even care about some small mistakes. If you can’t severely punish this time, you will definitely be punished in the future. There will be more serious mistakes. Chen Guogong will definitely not think that the emperor is Huang Enhao**, but he thinks that he has made great achievements. Even if he commits these things, it doesn't matter. On the contrary, he thinks that the emperor has done things unfairly. "
Li Kuan didn’t make his words very clear, but there are some things that are best not to be pointed out, and he summarized again: “How can a person who is so ungrateful and self-respectful for committing crimes and crimes be reused and not severely punished? Then where is the law of the Tang Dynasty? Where is Datang Guowei? Where is Datang Junwei?"
Li Shimin looked at Li Kuan intently, and said word by word: "Do you want him to die?"
"According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, the crime committed by Chen Guogong should be put to death. However, he did make great achievements for the Tang Dynasty. This achievement cannot be obliterated, and the death penalty is unavoidable. However, this person must not be used again, and there will be endless suffering after using it." Li Kuan directly expressed his attitude, looking directly at Li Shimin, without any hint of retreat.
"If such a conviction is so, someone will definitely not agree to it. What will happen then?" Li Shimin asked Li Kuan, "Datang is the world of the emperor. How can the king of a country be influenced by other people's opposition. Even if he has a good name, it is because of it. And it’s not worth it to lose people’s support.
Li Shimin glanced at Li Kuan, did not continue to speak, motioned him to go ahead, and then it was early time. However, Li Kuan was dressed in casual clothes, not official clothes at all. This appearance was afraid of being laughed at earlier, but Duke Wu told him that it was okay. Li Kuan also thought about it, he never played cards according to common sense.
"The emperor, the old slave thinks that your highness is right!" After sending off Li Kuan, Wu Gonggong saw Li Shimin still hesitating and couldn't help but express his own opinions. Li Shimin said bitterly, "How can I not know the truth, but If this matter is really investigated, it will inevitably affect the morale of the entire military. Now that there is some unease in the north, it is estimated that there will be war in the near future.
Gonggong Wu knew about this and had already received a report from the border when he went on tour, saying that Xue Yantuo's tribe had acted. The specific situation is unknown, but Li Shimin has a hunch: "War is coming!"
If a war breaks out, the military must have a stable mind. Hou Jun, as a minister of war, connives violations of laws and disciplines and disturbs the military's morale. Many of those implicated in the list are captains and other officials. If they are really moved. Where to find people to fill the vacancy.
Hou Junji has done too much, and it has exceeded the limit that Li Shimin can accept. If other generals are not punished to follow suit, what should be done? Should he be punished with the same lenient punishment as Hou Junji, then the entire Datang Jiangshan community will be destroyed in the hands of these people.
At this time, Li Shimin's mood is very complicated. Seeing the passage of time every minute and every second, he has to make a difficult decision, whether or not to Baohou Junji? If it is to protect him, as long as someone intercedes to intercede, it will be fine; if not, what should be done? (End of this chapter)
