The previous incident at Guanyun Temple was accidentally exposed by Fang Yiai, so Li Shimin ordered him and Zhao Yi to investigate the caravan in detail.
Even if Fang Yiai was later arranged to take over the defense of the capital along with Niu Jinda and Su Dingfang, he was not exempted from the task of investigating the caravan.
Therefore, on the basis that Zhao Yi had free labor and would not use it in vain, after getting He Qian Chengji's personal information, he went to Fang Yi'ai and asked Fang Yi'ai to draw He Qian Cheng's name based on the description.
Basic facial features.
Because Fang Yiai wanted to pay attention to the defense of the capital, and Li Shimin wanted the map of the hero, so in cooperation with Zhao Yi's investigation of the caravan and He Qian Chengji, Fang Yiai let go and gave it to Fang Qi and Qian Zheng.
.
Qian Zheng's family was arranged in the village of Fang's family outside Nancheng. Every three to five days, Qian Zheng always went home to stay for a day or two.
That day, Qian Zheng went home for a routine holiday and unexpectedly met He Gan Chengji, who was dressed as a knight-errant and came to the capital to inquire about the news.
Qian Zheng originally wanted to take him down by trick, but He Qian Chengji turned out to be astute and sensitive enough to sense something was wrong. This forced Qian Zheng to decisively take action against him.
It was with the help of several nurses from Fangjiazhuangzi that Qian Zheng was injured, and then he managed to capture Hegan Chengji.
Under severe torture and interrogation, He Qian Chengji committed all crimes.
He was once a horse bandit in the Western Regions on the Silk Road. When he was fighting for territory with another group of bandits, he was raped. Except for him, all of their people died in the hands of the other group.
In order to survive, he fled to Datang.
Because of the relationship between gold, silver, fine wine and beautiful women, He Qian Chengji willingly took refuge with the King of Han Li Yuanchang and became a private guard in his palace.
He turned soldiers into bandits and used bandits to raise soldiers. The idea of soldiers and bandits changing their identities at any time was obtained from him by King Li Yuanchang of Han Dynasty.
However, due to the fact that Li Shimin had too many strong soldiers and generals under his command, Han King Li Yuanchang did not dare to act rashly. In private, he carefully collected information on the generals that Li Shimin relied on to find out the clues and fatal flaws of each of them.
After much selection, I chose Hou Junji, who was also greedy for money and extravagant.
After the prison secretly controlled by the Hou family was sealed by Li Shimin in anger, Han King Li Yuanchang sent He Ganchengji, who was both eloquent and skilled, to come forward to lobby Hou Junji, saying that he wanted Hou Junji to partner with him to form a caravan.
, going back and forth about the scarce supplies in the Western Regions and Chang'an, and obtaining a huge price difference, which the two families split 50-50.
It has to be said that the story about the bewildering appearance of King Li Yuanchang of Han Dynasty was very successful. Even Hou Junji, who was suspicious and overcautious by nature, was made money by his hobby, as well as Ping Ping.
I was confused by Li's lavish spending, and finally agreed to cooperate with Li Yuanchang, King of Han Dynasty.
Hou Junji, who always considered himself to be a smart man, was tricked by Li Yuanchang, the King of Han, who did not look down on him, to get on the King of Han's carriage.
However, it is easy to get on the pirate ship, but it is difficult to get back off.
Hou Junji's handle all fell into the hands of the King of Han little by little, and there was no way to break free.
Want to break free? The leverage in the hands of King Li Yuanchang of Han Dynasty alone would be enough to make Hou Junji and his whole family die a hundred times if it were delivered to Li Shimin.
Reselling Datang's restricted trade materials, leaking Datang's confidential industry technologies, etc.
After knowing the intentions of King Li Yuanchang of Han Dynasty, Hou Junji had no room to struggle. To struggle is to die, not to struggle. Follow Li Yuanchang all the way to the end, maybe you can fight your way out of the danger.
Hou Junji also struggled in his heart. Otherwise, after taking Gaochang, he would not have scraped the ground and looted huge wealth.
The property confiscated by the court at that time was only two-thirds of the total property he confiscated, and the remaining one-third had been smuggled to Han Wang Li Yuanchang before the court got the news.
In Hou Junji's view, if Li Shimin could have taken more care of his mood back then, he might not have made it to where he is today.
It was also Li Shimin's punishment of him that made him make up his mind and no longer waver between Li Shimin and Li Yuanchang.
As for the Guanyun Temple where the caravan settled, according to He Qian Chengji, the presiding monk of the Guanyun Temple had received life-saving grace from Hou Junji in his early years. Later, when he settled in Guanyun Temple, he met Hou Junji by chance.
Only then did Guanyun Temple become the place where Hou Junji secretly sent messages.
As for Qi King Li You, he was just a chess piece pushed out by Han King Li Yuanchang and Hou Junji to test the situation and attract everyone's attention.
It was night. After receiving the result, Li Shimin stood in the pavilion facing the lake in the imperial garden without saying a word or expressionless all night.
No one knows what Li Shimin was thinking that night.
Whether in the palace or in the court, everyone has a consensus, that is, Li Shimin is in a very bad mood, really very bad.
Early in the morning, Li Shimin's bloodshot eyes showed some tiredness and sadness that could not be hidden, and his spirit was also a little unfocused. He had always been dedicated to state affairs, but when he was handling state affairs that day, several things happened.
An obvious mistake.
Seeing this situation, the courtiers had to tacitly suspend the court proceedings and let Li Shimin go back to rest early.
Some urgent matters that did not require Li Shimin's personal review were handed over to Prince Li Chengqian and the people in Shangshu Province for discussion.
After the court, Fang Yiai returned home and called Qian Zheng, who came back after midnight, to inquire about the interrogation of He Qian Chengji.
After learning about He Qian Chengji's confession that Zhao Yi presented to Li Shimin last night, Fang Yiai looked in the direction of the palace with some sympathy, sighed, and said nothing.
What can I say? That Li Shimin was too fond of Hou Junji in his early years, and that Hou Junji had a smooth life and did not know how to reflect on himself?
Or is it because Hou Junji is so greedy for money that he, and even his whole family, has entered a situation that is beyond redemption?
Hou Junji got to where he is now because of his excessive greed for money. Doesn't that mean that Li Shimin doesn't know people well and doesn't know how to employ people? He knew that Hou Junji was so greedy for money, but he still indulged him again and again? He was so indulgent that he was out of control now.
to the point?
Taking a step back, even if there was no incident in Gaochang, could Hou Junji really avoid today's situation just because of Hou Junji's secret cooperation with Han Wang Li Yuanchang?
The dust has basically settled, and anything you say now is in vain.
It's just a waste of time to regret Hou Zanjun.
I wonder if Li Shimin would take the deceased Hejian County Prince Li Xiaogong into consideration and let Li Xiaogong's youngest son-in-law Hou Zanjun go.
Even if Hou Zanjun was particularly merciful by Li Shimin and was given a way to survive, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to continue his official career.
The rebellion was aimed at annihilating the nine tribes, not to mention that it was Hou Zanjun and his father, Hou Junji, who were directly involved in the rebellion. In this era when imperial power was supreme, if Li Shimin was willing to let go and spare Hou Zanjun's family of three, he would be considered the rarest among emperors to care about old relationships.
Already.
Regarding the fact that the Fang family of their own clan rebelled with Qi Wang Li You, Fang Yiai and Fang Xuanling had already submitted a letter of apology. It was just a formality and they were not implicated at all.
Two days later, Hou Junji was escorted back to the capital. At the same time, Wei King Li Tai and his wife also returned to the capital.
On the same day, the remnants of the Han king Li Yuanchang were destroyed, and he himself was captured alive by Qin Huaiyu.
After arriving in Beijing, Li Shimin saw no one, and directly ordered Hou Junji to be thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. At the same time, Hou Junji's family members who were under house arrest in the Hou Mansion were all thrown into the prison together, so that their whole families could get together in the prison.
Li Taiyan was like a husband and wife. They just went into the palace to pay their respects, and then were placed back in the palace of Prince Wei in the capital.
Fang Yiai looked at it from a distance and found that Li Tai and his wife were still in good spirits after being in Hou Junji's hands for so many days. Li Tai seemed to have lost weight when he left the capital a few months ago.
Some, only Yan Wanru had a little more sadness between her brows.
It is precisely because of Li Tai's situation that those who initially suspected that Li Tai and Hou Junji had colluded raised questions again.
i, Fang Yiai learned about it from Yan Liben.
After Hou Junji occupied Tongzhou, he just let his soldiers besiege the palace of King Wei, and did not embarrass the King of Wei and his family.
The daily supplies were never short of the Wei Palace.
Even, every
i In the afternoon, Hou Junji often went to the Prince of Wei's Mansion to inform Li Tai of the latest developments in the court and the situation of the war. It was just a simple statement without even asking, and he did nothing else.
After listening to Yan Liben's simple words, Fang Yiai looked at Yan Liben in shock.
"Do you believe it? I don't think you can be trusted. Sigh." Yan Liben smiled bitterly and said. He was a little worried about the situation of his niece Yan Wanru.
Fang Yiai thought about Hou Junji's personality, nodded fiercely, and said, "This thing really seems like something Hou Junji can do."
He served the King of Wei's family with delicious food and drinks. Even if he was defeated and captured, considering the old relationship and the fact that he had not harmed any princes or grandchildren, Li Shimin would definitely treat him leniently and leave a trace to their Hou family.
The bloodline continues.
On the other hand, he, Hou Junji, was plotting rebellion, and the King of Wei's family fell into his hands. Not only were they not treated badly, but they were respected as honored guests by him. Is there anyone who has doubts in their hearts? In this way,
There are some things, even if they are obviously nothing, Wei King Li Tai can't explain them clearly.
Because of this, King Li Tai of Wei completely lost any chance or possibility of competing with Prince Li Chengqian amid the doubts in his heart.
Is this a show of affection that Hou Junji desperately wanted to leave with Li Chengqian for the sake of future generations?
Li Chengqian had to accept this love.
Fang Yiai gave a wry smile. It seemed that she had to prepare a way to plead for Hou Zanjun despite being scolded and reprimanded again.
