Ha, after beating the little monkey, the old monkey couldn't help but jump out. Hey, that's interesting! Li Zhen didn't even look back. Just by listening to the voice, she knew that the old guy who jumped out and yelled no was Hou Junji, and she was already aware of it.
There were quite a few of them, but they didn't take them too seriously. They just knelt there without any inappropriate reaction.
Hou Junji was born in Sanshui, Binzhou (now Houjia Village, Tuqiao Town, Xunyi, Shaanxi Province). He was pretentious and boastful since he was a child. He played with bows and arrows but could not develop his skills. Instead, he claimed to be brave and became the shogunate of King Li Shimin of Qin very early.
, accompanied the army on many expeditions, was favored, and participated in the planning. He was one of the main planners of the Xuanwumen Incident. He made great contributions and was granted the title of Duke of Lu in Jin Dynasty. He successively served as General of the Left Guard, Minister of the Ministry of War, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and other important positions.
He participated in many foreign wars of the Tang Dynasty. After the battle to destroy the Gaochang Kingdom in August of the 14th year of Zhenguan, his reputation reached its peak. However, shortly thereafter, Hou Junji, who had just returned to Chang'an, was accused of participating in the battle to destroy the Gaochang Kingdom.
He was imprisoned for taking property illicitly. The minister of the Sutra, Cen Wen, petitioned for mercy and was able to escape from prison. Although he was favored as before, he became a famous military commander and no longer had any official position.
Most of his authority was stripped away.
The land of China has always been said to be poor in culture and rich in military affairs. During the battle, the generals who led the troops in the war never took property privately. Not to mention property, there were also many who took beautiful women as concubines.
, let alone Li Jing, Cheng Zhijie and his like were like this, even Li Shimin did this kind of thing during the Tang Dynasty War - most of Li Shimin's favorite concubines were snatched away, including Concubine Yang and Concubine Yang, this book
It's just a common practice for generals, and it's not a big crime. But if others do it, it's fine. But when it's Hou Junji's turn, he has to go to jail. I'm afraid it's hard for outsiders to understand the strangeness here. It's just the emperor's mind, and it's a matter of balance.
It’s just a Tao, but there’s no need to say more.
Li Zhen didn't bother to pay attention to whether Hou Junji was wronged or not. However, Li Zhen knew very well that Hou Junji was the prince's biggest support and support in the army. Once he fell, the prince's voice in the army suddenly disappeared.
Half of the sky has collapsed, and there is an urgent need for a new spokesperson. This is why the prince did not hesitate to spend money and used most of the direct lineage men hidden in the army when fighting for the seal of the vanguard. But now, Li Zhen suddenly emerged and succeeded.
Taking the lead, the cooked duck just flew away. If the prince's people didn't come forward to stop him, Li Zhen would have felt strange.
Li Shimin was already doubtful. When he saw Hou Junji standing up, he was stunned for a moment and asked with a smile: "Hou Aiqing has something to say, but it's okay to say it. I'm listening."
Hou Junji bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I think that His Royal Highness the King of Yue is the bravest of the three armies, but he has never conducted military operations. The vanguard of this army is unusual. If something goes wrong, the morale of the army will be frustrated and the situation will be in danger."
; Furthermore, the sage said: The son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall. His Royal Highness the King of Yue has a noble status and fights on the battlefield with the dignity of a prince. If there is a loss, where will the face of the court be? Thirdly, I have so many brave generals in the Tang Dynasty, but I still need more
The prince's expedition will make junior Xue Yantuo laugh at me because there is no one in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the old minister thinks that His Highness the King of Yue is the vanguard, which is very inappropriate."
As soon as Hou Junji finished speaking, Prince Young Master Zhang Liang immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think what Hou Gong said is very true. I hope your Majesty will think again."
"Your Majesty, think twice."
"I think that what Mr. Zhang Ergong said is absolutely correct. I hope your Majesty will learn from it."
…
Good guys, Hou and Zhang had just finished speaking. A dozen people stood up with grunts and loudly shouted in agreement. For a while, nonsense like "Your Majesty, think twice" and "Your Majesty's clear warning" were heard endlessly.
, Li Shimin frowned when he heard it, but he just pondered and did not express his position immediately.
The matter involved the dispute between the crown prince and the prince, and the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty did not dare to get involved easily. The stage fell silent for a while. At this moment of silence, Wei Zheng, the servant, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I thought that the prince, Zhang
The two princes have already said that the position of a prince is indeed noble, but is it not a human being? According to the theory of Hou and Zhang, could it be that the generals of our Tang Dynasty are inferior to others? The veteran believes that the country should select generals based on their virtues.
First of all, don’t worry too much about the rest.”
Huhu, what Mr. Wei said was harsh, ***, you finally helped us say a good word, otherwise, we will really hate you when you grow old. I don’t care what the people in the prince’s line say about Li Zhen.
But when he saw Wei Zheng coming forward, Li Zhen was really frightened. Otherwise, every time Li Zhen came up with something new, Mr. Wei would definitely object and insist on it.
Li Zhen was in a state of embarrassment. When she heard that Mr. Wei was speaking for her this time, Li Zhen's heart finally dropped. However, despite the nagging in her heart, Li Zhen still knelt down steadily.
There, don't say anything in agreement, but even the expression on his face never changes.
Not to mention, Mr. Wei has always been upright and has a very high prestige in the court. When he said this, quite a few upright ministers stood up to express their support. For a while, the officials kneeling on the high platform were old and young.
, but Li Shimin's expression remained as calm as ever, and he never spoke his mind.
Wei Wang Li Tai, who was standing in the queue of princes, took a sneak peek at the livid-faced prince, and then at Li Zhen, who was kneeling on the ground with a calm face. He rolled his eyes a few times and quietly shouted at Cen Wenwen, the minister of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
After giving a signal, Cen Wenwen nodded slightly, walked out of the queue of civil servants, knelt down in the tunnel and said: "Your Majesty, I think what the ministers said is reasonable. I think His Highness the King of Yue was selected from among all the armies.
There is absolutely no reason why he should not be allowed to go on an expedition, but considering the age and experience of the King of Yue, I believe that it is necessary to choose a stable and veteran general to assist His Highness the King of Yue, so that nothing can go wrong."
"Oh?" Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully and asked with a smile: "Who does Cen Aiqing plan to recommend as deputy?"
"I think that Wang Youlin, the general of the Zuowei Zhonglang, is the most suitable. This man participated in the Tang Dynasty's two battles to destroy Tuyuhun and Gaochang Kingdom. He is loyal and reliable, and he is proficient in strategy. As the deputy of His Highness the King of Yue, he can protect the army.
"Cen Wenwen kowtowed and replied respectfully.
Ha, damn, Dare the Fourth Brother had the idea of gassai, ***, I thought that the bastard, the Fourth Brother, wanted to help us. After making trouble for a long time, he also set his sights on the big cake of the army. Cen
Wen Wen is the fourth person. Very few people in the Tang Dynasty knew about this. If Li Zhen hadn't held the "Rising Sun" in his hand, he wouldn't have understood the reason. When he heard Cen Wen Wen's words, he suddenly became angry.
, but it was not the time for him to speak at this time, so Li Zhen had to endure it for now.
Seeing that Li Shimin was about to open his mouth to play, the prince was really anxious and didn't care much. He dragged his lame leg and stood up from the chair next to Li Shimin, bowed and said: "Father, my son
I think that although what Mr. Cen said is reasonable, the choice of this deputy general is not very suitable. Although Wang Youlin has been in the army for a long time and has experienced many wars, his reputation is not good and he is not a brave general who can defeat ten thousand enemies. Therefore, he should be regarded as
There may be something wrong with being the deputy vanguard. If the eighth brother is to sign the seal, there must be a brave general accompanying him to ensure safety. I recommend Zuo Jinwu Wei Zhonglang General Hou Guozhong as deputy. Although this man was defeated by the eighth brother just now, he can fight with
The eighth brother exchanged a gun for a gun, which was already the choice of the army against thousands of enemies. In addition, with his long experience in battles, not only could the army be safe, but the eighth brother could also be safe. This son and minister are very humble, and I hope my father will understand clearly.
"
When the prince said this, King Li Tai of Wei couldn't bear it any longer and hurriedly stepped out and said: "Father, I think there may be something wrong with what the prince's brother said. Although Hou Guozhong is brave, he is only two men under the gun of his eighth brother.
How can we keep the Eighth Brother safe with only a few generals? Moreover, I thought that having the Eighth Brother in the vanguard was brave enough, and he only needed to pair the Eighth Brother with an experienced and prudent general to keep the army safe. Wang Zhonglang is a natural-born general.
He is steady and doesn't like to try to impress others, so he is the perfect candidate for the deputy vanguard. Please tell me, father."
Well, these two brothers are fighting again. King Wu Li Ke, who was standing aside to watch the fun, can't stand it anymore. It's just that he has no influence at all in the army and only has three or two kittens in his hands.
He couldn't lift it to the table at all, but when he saw the prince and the fourth son showing up, he didn't want to be left behind, so he hurriedly followed the line and said: "Father, I thought that since the eighth brother was brave enough to win the three armies.
, this pioneer seal should be held by the eighth brother. In this case, it is better to let the eighth brother decide on the candidate for the general, so as not to become a constraint."
Haha, damn, Lao San is really a ruthless person, ***, he kicked the ball to me, didn’t he force me to offend others? ***! Li Zhen saw through Lao San at a glance.
Intention - At this moment, the prince and the fourth child have each proposed candidates. Whoever Li Zhen wants or rejects will offend others. If she doesn't want any of them, she will offend the prince and the fourth child. This matter will naturally not happen to Li Zhen for the rest of her life.
He might turn to the prince or Li Tai again. Unless Li Zhen stands on her own feet, wouldn't she have no choice but to turn to him, Li Ke, if she wants to avoid the ensuing plots?
As expected, after listening to Li Ke's words, Li Shimin glanced at the ministers kneeling on the floor, cast his eyes on Li Zhen, and asked calmly: "Zhen'er, what do you mean?"
How? ***, what else can you do? You, the old man, can go by yourself. Li Zhen is not willing to get into the trap laid by the third child. She pondered for a while and said: "My son and I have no objections. I respectfully request the Holy See for everything."
Li Shimin was used to Li Zhen's evasion skills, but he was not angry about it. He glanced at Li Zhen meaningfully, stood up suddenly and said: "I have made up my mind. I will take Li Zhen, the king of Yue, as the vanguard of the army. I ordered Qin Huaiyu to
Hou Guozhong and Wang Youlin are the deputy vanguards, and the army will set off the day after tomorrow." As soon as he finished speaking, he walked off the general platform first, and the ministers followed in a hurry.
What? Are you mistaken? One sergeant and three lieutenants, old man, this is an expedition, not a teapot with a teacup, so what are you doing with so many lieutenants? Damn the way of balance, isn't this making trouble for me? Li Zhen was anxious
I was sweating all over my head, but seeing that the old man had already made a decree, no matter how wronged I was, there was no way to reason. I had no choice but to hold back my anger and turn around to my palace in frustration.
