As Li Shimin let go, everyone shouted in unison: "Your Majesty Shengming!"
At this point, no one pleaded for Hou Junji anymore. Even Zhongshu Lingcen Wenwen, Prince Edward and others chose to follow the trend. Now that the result is clear, Hou Junji's execution is also a matter of time. Li Shimin publicly announced: "The edict said: The former Shangshu of the Ministry of War and the collection of Chen Guogong Houjun, the edict was the commander of the Jiaohe Road marching army and led an army to crusade against Gaochang. It took several months to destroy his country and work hard. However, he was proud of his own merits, acted arbitrarily and committed bandits Thousands of innocent people in Gaochang were exiled without requesting orders. Although he was meritorious, he could not be spared his crime. Therefore, he was sentenced to beheading and executed on the autumn solstice. I remembered and made great achievements in the war, so I am exempted from the crime of sitting in the family. , Demoted to the common people, cut all his official positions, and all fields and so on were taken back."

"Re-spread the edict to Gaochang County, and order the special envoy to cooperate with Gong Zhisheng of Jincheng County to recall the innocent people convicted of exile by Hou Junji. They must be properly placed. In addition, the edict is passed to the army and the participating troops are reduced. The military status of the army must be taken as a warning, and if there is a repeat offender, it will not tolerate it."
Li Shimin issued two edicts in succession, one was to condemn Hou Junji and others, and the other was to appease the people of the Western Regions. Li Kuan was right. Gaochang Kingdom is no longer there. Now Datang is their country, and they cannot lose popular support because of Hou Junji and others.
In Li Shimin's mind, he also felt that Hou Junji had done too much. Losing popular support and losing Hou Junji was naturally more important than losing Hou Junji. Even Li Shimin thought that Hou Junji deserved the crime. But he couldn't show it on his face, and he still looked distressed and sad.
As for Cen Wenwen and Li Chengqian's plea for Hou Junji, Li Shimin did not hold them accountable. The benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees wisdom. Li Kuan's words are more reasonable. This does not mean that Li Chengqian and Cen Wenwen are trying to help Hou Jun set off. crime.
"The original book of the Ministry of War, Hou Junji violated the laws of the state, so the edict ordered Li Ji to be the book of the Ministry of War!" Li Shimin then appointed Li Ji as the book of the Ministry of War, and solemnly said: "When Li Ji was appointed as the governor of the prefecture, his political achievements were outstanding, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. The tour was really seen with my own eyes."
Li Ji replied respectfully: "The minister dare not take credit. This is the credit of your majesty's trust in the minister."
Li Shimin nodded, and said earnestly: "From now on, you are the Shangshu of the Ministry of War. I hope you can be different from Hou Junji."
"The minister will not disappoint your majesty's expectations!" Li Ji naturally understood the meaning.
Things that pass through Hou Junji will definitely affect, but it does not affect the morale of the military, because Hou Junji and others have indeed violated national laws and violated military discipline. It is an inevitable result that these people will be expelled from the military. Who should be expelled from the military? Take their place.
"Next, I have an important matter to discuss with you Aiqing!"
The matter of Hou Junji came to an end. As soon as the voice fell, Gonggong Wu hurried over and took out a battle report for others to read. Wei Zheng, Li Ji, and Li Daozong all knew about it, but Changsun Wuji , Fang Xuanling and others did not know.
Li Shimin said with a green face: "This letter was sent back by the king of Huaihua County and the messenger of the Ashinasmo Sect. The true pearl khan of Xue Yantuo heard that I wanted to go to the east, and used this opportunity to order his son to be magnanimous. Suppose the tribes such as Fa Tongluo, Pugu, Huihe, Momo, and Fei joined forces to invade the former Jieli old tribe, and now they belong to the southern Turkic tribe under the jurisdiction of Tuli Khan. The force is estimated to be 200,000."
"I have ordered him to pass the order to the Khan of Yu Tulifu, let him lead the tribe into the Great Wall, stationed in Shuozhou, and must guard Shuozhou. Now it has been several days, if Xue Yantuo's tribe really invades south and attacks the southern Turks. At this time, the army should have already moved south."
Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, Xue Yantuo's ambition of the Pearl Khan and the wolfish ambitions of the Southern Turkic forces looked forward to the power of the Southern Turks. If he were to conquer the southern Turkic sphere of influence, his tribal territory would expand, which would be extremely dangerous to Datang Shuozhou, Gyeongju, Lingju and other places.
The heart of the Zhenzhu Khan is clear. He wants to take this opportunity to successfully regain the southern Turks, that is, the old Jieli Tribe, which will surely inspire people, so that they can become their own swords and take this opportunity to invade and attack the Tang Dynasty. Because countless people in the old Jieli Ministry died under the Iron Cavalry of the Datang Army, among them were their relatives. As long as the fire of hatred is ignited, it is bound to be another endless war.
"Li Yun, where are you going?"
Everyone was preparing to speak. Unexpectedly, Li Shimin saw Li Kuan who was secretly trying to sneak out. He immediately shouted. Li Kuan’s steps were taken back in an instant. Everyone looked over and saw Li Kuan smiling and said: "His Majesty, for such a national event, the minister's rank has not arrived, so he still doesn't mix it up. The minister follows the ritual system, and it is not within the scope of his power to ask questions."
"I allow you to be there!"
Li Shimin didn’t know Li Kuan’s thoughts. If he let him leave so easily, he would have been the emperor for more than ten years in vain. Li Kuan still wanted to take the opportunity to run away, looking at Li Shimin’s uncertain eyes, Li Kuan. Acknowledged, he didn't dare to offend Longyan at this time, walked up listlessly, and sat in his original position.
"Here!"
Li Kuan was dumbfounded. Seeing where Li Shimin was pointing, he was really scared. He said nothing. The others were also dumbfounded. However, the prince Li Chengqian clenched his hands, and the resentment in his eyes was deeper because Li Shimin made Li Kuan. The place where he sits is next to him, sitting on an equal footing like the emperor. Where does this prince sit
"Come here!" Li Kuan shook his head desperately, saying that he would not go up, he was almost crying, Li Shimin sternly asked, "But come?"
"I won't come over to death!" Li Kuan's heart was about to collapse. That position is not something he can sit on, even if he sits down, it will be unstable. Whether Li Shimin is angry or not, Li Kuan will not go there. I really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it clearly." The full text of the text is the fastest んττρs:/м.χ八㈠zщ.còм/
"Do you want me to say it again?"
Li Shimin was angry. Everyone was dumbfounded. They didn't know what was going on. Prince Li Chengqian's eyes became colder, his sharp eyes stared at Li Kuan in a daze, and Li Shimin looked at Li Shimin in surprise, shouting loudly in his heart: "Father, I am the prince!"
If it is said that before Li Chengqian was in charge of the country, Li Kuan led someone to arrest Hou Jun without telling him, and there was only a crack between the two, then if Li Kuan really sits in that position, the two of them The suspicion will expand indefinitely. As the prince Li Chengqian, how can he watch his throne be taken away, even if that person is Li Kuan who saved him.
Compared with the supremacy of power and brotherhood, Li Chengqian made it clear which one was more important. Besides, the current prince is still Li Chengqian, not Li Kuan, the king of Chu. Li Chengqian does not know why Li Shimin did this, but he is unwilling in every possible way. (End of this chapter)
