Datang: My identity as prince was exposed by Li Er

The prince was exiled.

Li Shimin did it neatly.

Because he never had a reflective mind from beginning to end.

But there is another problem that troubles Li Shimin.

Hou Junji!

He can kill others at will and is ruthless.

But Hou Junji means too much to Li Shimin and carries too much.

From the original Xuanwumen Incident to the subsequent annihilation of Fusang and Tuyuhun.

Hou Junji's contribution to the Tang Dynasty can definitely not be measured by cold battles.

But if such a person continues to live, Li Shimin will have trouble sleeping and eating.

But if she takes the initiative to kill the hero, it will definitely chill the whole world.

Early the next morning.

Court meeting.

Li Shimin looked at the officials and said with difficulty:"These two days are as good to me as one or two years.""

"Prince Li Chengqian was deposed as a commoner, but there is still a problem lingering in my heart."

The officials listened quietly to Li Shimin's statement.

"Chen Guogong Hou Junji has accompanied me all the way to the present. He has made meritorious service to the country, is kind to me, and has the ability to stabilize the country."

Li Shimin took a long breath, looked at the crowd and said:"But the world is not owned by me alone, it belongs to the people and all the officials."

"So I want to hear your thoughts today.

He continued:"For the sake of Hou Junji's several meritorious services, I don't want Hou Junji to die. I want to spare his life. Like Li Chengqian, he will be demoted to a commoner and sent to Lingnan.""

After that, Li Shimin remained silent. All the officials present were smart people. After thinking for a moment, they could easily figure out what Li Shimin meant.

If you really don't want Hou Junji to die, why bother saying that the world belongs to the people? , is it from the officials?

He clearly wanted to kill him, but he also wanted to be famous. He could not kill himself and let the officials come to see him.

Fang Xuanling coughed dryly and walked out of the queue.

He had been with Li Shimin for almost 20 years.

Li Shimin Fang Xuanling can know what he is thinking without even thinking about it.

"His Majesty! The crime committed by Hou Junji cannot be tolerated by heaven. Treason has always been a serious crime. If this crime can easily escape the death penalty, then how dare people in the world not set an example?"

"If this trend grows, it will be devastating to the stability of the Tang Dynasty!"

"I know that your majesty is benevolent and righteous, and I know that your majesty misses the old feelings, but how can Hou Junji think about the old feelings? Please don't be so benevolent and righteous, Your Majesty!"

After Fang Xuanling said this, hundreds of officials came out one after another to imitate Fang Xuanling and impeach Hou Junji.

At this moment, Li Shimin's control over his subordinates was fully demonstrated.

Don't look at the harmony between the emperor and his ministers in Xunri. He pretended to listen to Wei Zheng and others' wild rants.

But when it came to matters involving absolute control, no one dared to disobey Li Shimin's wishes.

This degree not only needs to be mastered by Li Shimin, but also needs to be mastered by all officials.

Li Shimin continued:" Is there no chance at all?

Fang Xuanling continued:"Your Majesty!" If you continue to interrupt, you will suffer chaos!"

Remonstrance and persuasion to kill are the same.

There is no one who agrees the first time.

After repeating this, Li Shimin sighed quietly:"In this case, Shangshu saves the order. I will go to Dali Temple to say goodbye to my old friend.

All officials clasped their fists:"My emperor is benevolent and righteous!""

Go to court.

Li Shimin walked slowly to Dali Temple.

Hou Junji waited here for a long time.

Seeing Li Shimin, his hanging heart suddenly dropped:"Your Majesty can come, I am very grateful.

Li Shimin said to the officer outside the door:"Open the door.""

The officials hesitated.

They were afraid that Hou Junji would violently attack.

Li Shimin shouted angrily:"Open it!"

"Send me a bottle of wine."

Not long after, the monarch and his ministers drank together.

Hou Junji took a deep sip:"This guy Li Yi makes really good wine. Now that I drink it, I still have endless aftertaste.

Li Shimin seemed to be recalling the past:"How did we get to this point?""

Hou Junji didn't say anything. He was silent for a long time. He stood up, bent down, clasped his fists, and said to Li Shimin:"Your Majesty, for the sake of your majesty's merits, can you let go of so-and-so's wife and children, so that so-and-so can die after his death? Someone collects someone's body."

Li Shimin stared at him for a long, long time.

He stood up and his expression changed:"Hou Junji! Today you and I have severed all ties between you and our ministers!"

"I agree to your request!"

After that, Li Shimin fluttered his sleeves and left.

Hou Junji looked at Li Shimin's leaving figure and knelt on the ground,"My lord... thank you for your kindness!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness...Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin has been gone for a long time, but Hou Junji still didn't get up.

Not long after, the prison in Dali Temple was opened again.

It was Changsun Wuji.

During this political struggle, Changsun Wuji never showed up.

Hou Junji saw Changsun Wuji. After Wuji suddenly laughed

"Auxiliary machinery.

Changsun Wuji nodded:"Hou Junji, the matter is over."

Hou Junji smiled:"Is it really over?" Changsun

Wuji frowned, looking at Hou Junji with a strange look, and suddenly became frightened.

Hou Junji said with a smile but not a smile:"Li Anyan, Chang Kuan, these people are all in the eyes of your officials, your Changsun Wuji It is very clear to avoid"

"You didn't stop the prince from contacting these people, Changsun Wuji. In fact, you knew that the prince was going to rebel, right?

Changsun Wuji was suddenly stunned, and then said angrily:"I don't know what you are talking about!" Hou

Junji took a sip of wine and said to himself:"You don't seem to be supporting Li Yi. You are like a bystander, sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers. You hope that both sides will suffer, and you hope that Li Chengqian will be eliminated in this whirlpool." Both Li Yi and Li Yi could die."

Having said this, Changsun Wuji's face finally twitched slightly.

"Let me think about who you, Changsun Wuji, are supporting."

"Wei Wangtai is sinister by nature, you can’t control him"

"Jin Wangzhi has a weak temperament... It's Jin Wangzhi, right?

Changsun Wuji finally couldn't bear it anymore,"Shut up!" Hou

Junji smiled, then looked up to the sky and sighed:"Changsun Wuji, be an official well. If you can, resign. Don't fight with Li Yi. You are really no match for him.""

"I have seen everything Li Yi has done over the years."

"You see, it seems that His Majesty is helping him every step of the way. If you have even the slightest thought like this, you have already failed."

"What a good boy, from a little duckweed in the beginning, he has grown into a towering tree in four years. This boy can copy the glory of His Majesty and the glory of the Tang Dynasty in the future! Changsun

Wuji pursed his lips and said nothing, and after a long time he said:"I just came to see you for the last time. In this way, Chong'er can close his eyes down there. I'll say goodbye to Hou Junji.""
