As the central city that is close to both the East Market and the Imperial City, the land here is absolutely valuable!
Let alone a house with three entrances and four entrances here, even an ordinary small courtyard cannot be afforded by ordinary people.
Therefore, those who can live here now are basically the princes, generals, ministers and court officials in Chang'an City!
And these families are typical representatives of the rich in the busy city!
On weekdays, which door is bustling with people welcoming people and sending them off? Even the carriages that come and go are blocked here several times every day, which shows how busy this place is!
However, the huge courtyard in the middle of Fang City has suddenly become deserted without any warning since recent days.
Although it's not crowded, it's not that much different! With the other cars passing by and the neighboring houses where guests gather, it forms an extremely sharp contrast!
Once upon a time, this place was bustling with people and guests!
But now, those people who came to give gifts, seek connections, and ask for meetings have completely disappeared.
Even when the neighbors on the left and right passed by here, they hurriedly lowered their car curtains and hurried past as if they were avoiding the plague!
And why does this happen?
It's very simple, just because the owner here is Duke Lu and Hou Junji of the Tang Dynasty!
Although, Li Shimin kept a tight seal on the news about Tuyuhun!
But there is no airtight wall under the sky!
When Li Shimin got the news, in order to find a solution, he went to Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling to discuss it together.
When these two top figures of the Tang Dynasty learned about this matter, they immediately thought: Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with Hou Junji or not, Hou Junji's misfortune is already doomed!
Therefore, the two of them made the decision almost at the same time to cut off their relationship with the Duke of Lu as soon as possible to avoid getting into trouble in the future.
And the actions of these two people will naturally fall in the eyes of other court officials.
Although they don't understand why these two smart people did what they did, they know that if they can't figure it out or have no idea, they can't go wrong by following the smart people!
Therefore, first of all, the group of people at the top of the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty became alienated from Hou Junji.
Following closely, those ordinary officials who were good at observing words and emotions and echoing and relying on others also followed suit.
In the end, the bustling Duke Lu's Mansion seemed to have turned into a piece of garbage that even dogs hated overnight, and was avoided by everyone!
In official circles, human relationships are such a reality!
Perhaps ordinary people will pay attention to the causes and consequences before cutting off contact.
But in the officialdom, if you abandon someone, you won't even hit him even if you say hello!
If it weren't for Hou Junji who had just returned from the Western Regions, and if it weren't for the news that his subordinates in the Western Regions had sent secretly.
I'm afraid that Hou Junji wanted to break his head, but he couldn't figure out why everyone around him left him in just one night!
"Bang!"
At dinner that day, as a servant accidentally broke the soup bowl in his hand, Hou Junji, who had been feeling aggrieved for a long time, finally broke out!
"waste!"
Hou Junji, who was already on the verge of rage, stood up angrily, raised his kick, and kicked the servant flying out!
Immediately afterwards, he still felt that the anger in his heart was still lingering, and he brushed the huge Eight Immortals table in front of him to the ground!
In an instant, all the plates of delicacies fell to the ground!
Wine also gurgled out of the smashed jug, meandering on the floor like a stream.
"master!"
The old housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion has noticed something strange about the master in the past few days and has become cautious!
Now, when he heard the commotion in the house, his expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly walked around the servant who was vomiting blood and had a face like gold paper, and rushed into the house quickly!
When he entered the room and saw the scene here, he immediately took a breath of cold air. Regardless of the cup of tea on the floor, he knelt down and kowtowed to Hou Junji: "Master, calm down! Calm down! Don't be angry.
I’m so angry that I’m so angry!”
However, Hou Junji, who had been depressed for many days, had already turned red and lost his mind!
He ignored the dissuasion of the old housekeeper who had been following him for many years, and still angrily smashed everything in the house to pieces!
The priceless double-eared hollow vase was pushed over, Zhang Zhi's original cursive calligraphy was torn into pieces, and the tables and chairs made of huanghuali were completely smashed into a pile of rotten wood.
Fortunately, the last glimmer of clarity in his mind prevented him from attacking this old butler who had been following him for many years and had always been loyal.
Finally, when everything in the house was destroyed.
Hou Junji also panted heavily, walked out of the smoke, and came to the old housekeeper step by step!
Immediately afterwards, he was seen staring at the old housekeeper with his red eyes, and asked in a hoarse and cold voice: "Why! Why!"
The old housekeeper was shaking violently. Seeing the master's appearance, he did not dare to answer and could not answer. He could only bury his head deeply.
"Hahaha, why?!"
But when Hou Junji saw the old housekeeper's fearful look, he suddenly laughed nervously:
"Why do those people treat me like this? Why do Your Majesty have to be so suspicious of me? I have fought so many battles and shed so much blood for the sake of this world! Now I just made a mistake once! Are they going to treat me like this?"
"Master..." The old housekeeper's heart hurt when he heard this. He raised his head and wanted to comfort Hou Junji with a few words.
However, Hou Junji angrily shouted: "Don't call me Master! Why don't you just stay away from me and the Duke of Lu's mansion like those shameless people who only see profit and forget justice!"
Hahaha! When I was in glory, everyone came to praise me! When I came back from destroying Gaochang, the team that greeted me was more than thirty miles out of the city!
But what happens now? Just for that little gossip, for a mere Yumen Pass, they treat me like a used toilet chip and throw it away far away? Why!"
"Old slave..." The old butler's mouth moved, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
It seems that since my master broke up with Li Jing, these unfortunate things have happened one after another!
First, he had a grudge with the now-famous Marquis of Sanyuan County, and then the firearms workshop that the emperor valued most was in trouble under his hands!
Then, in order to make up for this matter, the master was not only sent to prison, but also sent to the Western Regions, where he ate sand for several years.
In the end, it was the master who destroyed Gaochang and was able to return to the imperial court with his master!
I originally thought that the matter would end here, and the contribution of destroying the country would be enough to make up for all the master's previous mistakes!
But suddenly, the little Tuyuhun went crazy and attacked Yumen Pass with firearms! He did it just after the master left!
Who is allowed to see this, and who is not murmuring in their hearts?
