Hou Junji lowered his head and stopped seeing the emperor.
The voice of Wei Zheng reading the emperor's edict continued to come to his ears.
He no longer has any idea to pay attention to the rankings in the future.
Whoever is on the list of heroes and who is ranked in the top one has nothing to do with him.
Hou Junji only knew that he was ranked 19th and behind Qin Qiong.
At this moment, Hou Junji felt extremely unwilling.
He is not as good as Qin Qiong?
Not long after, Wei Zheng's voice stopped and the list of twenty-four heroes was read out.
"The twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion are all those who have made great contributions to our Tang Dynasty."
"This time, the selection of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion is also an affirmation of their achievements."
"It is really enviable to be able to enter Lingyan Pavilion."
"The most unexpected thing this time is the rankings of Wei Pushe, Duke Yi, and Duke Chen."
"That's right? Wei Pushe has been a step forward recently. He first succeeded Changsun Wuji's Shangshu Zuo Pushe, and now he is in the second place in Lingyan Pavilion. But it's really..."
The officials showed envious and surprised expressions.
"Duke Yiguo is not bad either. I thought that even if he entered the list of heroes of Lingyan Pavilion this time, he should be ranked last. Unexpectedly, he was even ahead of Duke Chen."
"Yes, Duke Chen's contribution is greater than that of Duke Lu Cheng Yaojin. He is actually behind Duke Yi?"
"I don't know what your Majesty thinks."
"Didn't this list of heroes in Lingyan Pavilion be drafted by Zhao Chen, the crown prince, and the prince of Luzhou? Did they all let Duke Chen have such a position?"
"It is impossible. Duke Chen was the prince of Luzhou before, but now he is the prince. How could they arrange Duke Chen like this?"
"That means, may Your Majesty follow the one submitted by Duke Zhao County? The list is impossible?"
The Tai Chi Hall is full of discussions, and all the officials say everything.
Not everyone is qualified to enter the third floor of Lingyan Pavilion.
Many of the officials standing here are not even qualified to enter Lingyan Pavilion.
Everyone showed envious expressions on their faces, but Hou Junji alone showed gloomy expressions on their faces.
It was as the officials just now discussed.
Why did he be ranked behind Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong?
"Hmph!" Hou Junji suddenly snorted coldly.
All the officials came over.
"Duke Chen has any objection to my arrangements?" The emperor looked at Hou Junji and said slowly.
The Tai Chi Palace was completely quiet.
No matter how dissatisfied Hou Junji was, he should not express it on such an occasion.
The emperor's imperial edict, Hou Junji snorted coldly, is it against or what else?
"Father, Duke Chen may have felt a cold last night, so he made an uncomfortable sound."
"It's not any objection to the father's arrangement."
"The father set up Lingyan Pavilion to affirm the heroes of our Tang Dynasty. All those who can enter Lingyan Pavilion are those who have made great contributions."
"No matter where you are, it's the same." Li Tai quickly came out to explain to Hou Junji.
He was a little worried that Hou Junji would not hug him for a moment and expressed his dissatisfaction.
If the emperor cannot come to Taiwan, the unlucky one will be Hou Junji.
Now that Li Tai has just taken the position of crown prince, it is better to seek stability in everything.
There can't be anything that makes the emperor bored.
"Duke Chen thought so too?" The emperor looked at Hou Junji and asked lightly.
Hou Junji felt extremely uncomfortable.
Even though I was not happy, I still had to pretend to be happy at this moment.
"What the Crown Prince said is that I feel a little uncomfortable today. I offend Your Majesty. I am guilty!" Hou Junji bowed.
He wouldn't have thought that he was obviously the victim.
At this moment, I still have to compromise!
"Let the imperial physician go and see it later!" The emperor raised his hand, glanced at the faces of the ministers, and said:
"The Lingyan Pavilion is to commend you all the great contributions you have made to our Tang Dynasty."
"Some people may feel that it is unfair, but please think more about what you have done during this period of time."
"Let's do it. On New Year's Eve, according to the list of today's reading, the portraits of all the meritorious ministers will be moved into Lingyan Pavilion."
"Retreat!"
The emperor waved his hand and left in front of all the officials.
The Tai Chi Palace became noisy again.
The emperor almost pointed at Hou Junji's nose and said that he had not done anything good during this period.
"General Hou, you..." Li Tai walked to Hou Junji and wanted to comfort him.
As a result, Hou Junjili ignored him and turned around and left.
Li Tai, who was left with an awkward look, stood there.
...
When Wei Zheng walked out of Tai Chi Hall, his feet on the floor were a little fluttering.
Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong were also fighting each other.
"Old Qin, can you walk well? Isn't it just a hero in Lingyan Pavilion? You can't even walk?" Cheng Yaojin teased Qin Qiong, but his whole body weight was pressing on Qin Qiong.
His face was full of joy, and it was hard to hide his inner excitement.
"You know, if you are calm, don't lean on me." Qin Qiong sweared for the first time.
Qin Qiong was really excited today.
Even he himself believed that the emperor was nostalgic and putting his name on the list of heroes in Lingyan Pavilion should be the last one.
After all, the things that happened back then meant their attitude.
But today, the emperor actually placed his Qin Qiong's name before Hou Junji.
This is something Qin Qiong absolutely did not expect.
Since the emperor ascended the throne, Hou Junji has made a lot of contributions, and Qin Qiong has no chance to go to war.
In the Xuanwu Gate incident, Hou Junji led his troops directly into the Supreme Emperor's bedroom.
Compared with the two, Qin Qiong himself didn't realize that he could take pictures in front of Hou Junji.
The three of them sat on the steps outside the Tai Chi Hall and could not leave anymore.
If your legs are weak and you roll down from here, even if you don’t fall to death, you will be laughed to death in the future.
The officials congratulated the three of them and left one after another.
Without much time, only three people were left sitting here.
"Brother Xuancheng, what does Your Majesty mean? Why can I be in front of Hou Junji?" Qin Qiong pretended to go too far and asked Wei Zheng, who was pinching his thigh.
Wei Zheng still feels that he is dreaming.
It was not until the severe pain came from his thigh that he realized that everything that happened today was real.
Looking at Wei Zheng's grinning, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong were both thrusting their faces.
They always thought that Wei Zheng was not greedy for these false names, but they didn't expect...
"I just felt a little surprised. It's not important to be a name or something." As if seeing through what the two of them were thinking, Wei Zheng quickly waved his hands with them.
You can't let these two people look down on themselves.
The two of them did not ask questions, and then listened to Qin Qiong's continued questioning: "Brother Xuancheng, I knew I had a mistake in what happened back then, and I was not happy with His Majesty, and I had no complaints."
"It's just today's matter, I really can't figure it out."
