Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 658 Impeachment

After looking around, Su Cheng also looked at Hou Junji, and found that Hou Junji was lowering his head slightly, and the expression on his face had frozen.

Su Cheng then looked up at Li Shimin again, only to find that Li Shimin's brows were slightly raised, and his eyes seemed to be aimed at Hou Junji, and his eyes were very complicated.

Others didn't dare to look up and look at the emperor, but Su Cheng didn't care about it. Seeing the emperor's expression, he couldn't help but feel moved.

Li Shimin didn't seem surprised.

What does this mean?

This shows that Li Shimin also knows about Hou Junji!

Yes, it doesn't make sense that all these generals know about it, but Li Shimin doesn't know about it!

Li Shimin is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he is the master of the Tang Dynasty!

Li Shimin's face was expressionless, and he said in a deep voice: "Since Wei Aiqing has the book, let's play it!"

What exactly is Wei Zheng going to play?Everyone's attention was instantly concentrated.

Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "I have impeached Chen Guogong and Hou Junji for three major crimes!"

Sure enough, it was the impeachment of Hou Junji!Su Cheng couldn't help raising his eyebrows, but there was not much surprise on his face.

In fact, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin and others were not surprised, but there was a commotion in the hall.

Because most of the courtiers did not expect Wei Zheng to impeach Hou Junji!

Hou Junji has just returned from the expedition, he is a hero of the Tang Dynasty, and now the people in Chang'an are cheering and discussing Hou Junji's achievements, but Wei Zheng wants to impeach Hou Junji at this time?

And also count the three major crimes committed by Hou Junji?

Is this too out of date?

Even if Hou Junji did something wrong, he should wait for a while. It would not be too late to impeach Hou Junji after a while, otherwise there would be a feeling of treating heroes poorly.

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "The three major crimes of impeaching Hou Junji? Which three major crimes?"

Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I impeach Hou Junji for the most serious crime, hiding treasures and being greedy! Gaochang Kingdom is located in a place where businessmen in the Western Regions must pass, so it is extremely rich, and most of the treasures in Gaochang Kingdom are It was swallowed up by Hou Junji!"

Originally, when everyone first heard that Wei Zheng impeached Hou Junji for hiding treasures, they didn't take it seriously. They thought Wei Zheng was crazy to impeach Hou Junji for such a trivial matter at such a time of universal celebration!

But they couldn't help being stunned when they heard that Hou Junji actually embezzled most of Gaochang Kingdom's treasures?

real or fake?

Most of the treasures of a kingdom, how much wealth would Hou Junji dare to take for himself?

Isn't that too bold?If this is true, then what Wei Zheng said is right, Hou Junji is really greedy, it is indeed a big crime!

It is an unwritten rule for the generals to take some of the property they have seized while on an expedition, and no one will say anything.

But as a general, he embezzled more than half of his treasures, which is unreasonable!

Do you still have the court in your eyes?Do you still have an emperor in your eyes?

No wonder Wei Zheng couldn't help impeaching Hou Junji. If Hou Junji really hid most of the treasure, it would be too much!

But it seems that Wei Zheng wants to impeach Hou Junji for more than this one crime, but three major crimes!

What are the other two crimes?

Everyone suddenly became interested in the next two major crimes. It seemed that Wei Zheng had no choice but to impeach Hou Junji because of his unhappiness.

Could it be that Hou Junji falsely reported his military exploits?Could it be that Hou Junji didn't destroy Gaochang Kingdom at all, but just came back after grabbing some white jasmine seeds?

In addition, they can't think of any other serious crimes!

Everyone couldn't help looking at Hou Junji, but they found that Hou Junji's face was so gloomy that water dripped out.

Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "My minister impeached Hou Junji for the second most serious crime, and executed King Gaochang without authorization! After all, Gaochang is the king of a country, and our Tang Dynasty should treat him with etiquette, but Hou Junji, in order not to reveal his atrocities, even He brutally killed King Gaochang!"

After hearing this, everyone felt that it was not as strong as the first time. In the good news, they had guessed after hearing that King Gaochang was captured alive by Xue Wanche but then died suddenly.

After all, he is the king of a small barbarian country in the Western Regions, so he will die when he dies. Whether he died of a sudden illness or was brutally murdered depends entirely on whether the emperor is willing to investigate further!

So whether this crime is convicted or not, it all depends on the holy family.

A group of civil servants couldn't help being a little disappointed after hearing this, because they felt that this charge was not as serious as the first charge.

What about the next third count?Won't it get weaker and weaker?

"Chen Weizheng impeached Hou Junji for the third crime, insulted Princess Gaochang, and forced to death the pregnant Queen Gaochang who was unwilling to be humiliated!"

"Your Majesty, our Tang Dynasty is a land of etiquette. Your Majesty is revered as the Heavenly Khan and is highly respected by all nations. However, Hou Junji has committed these shameless and shameless crimes, which have damaged the prestige of our Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty will definitely punish him severely!"

The whole hall was in an uproar.

Hou Junji actually insulted Princess Gaochang?He didn't even let the pregnant Queen Gaochang go?

Civil servants couldn't help pouting their beards and talking loudly. In their eyes, this was simply inferior to animals.

They never expected that Hou Junji would be so daring, not to mention hiding most of the treasure, killing the King Gaochang, insulting the Princess Gaochang, and forcing the pregnant Queen Gaochang to death!

This is not only bold, this is simply insane!

Eunuch Yao took a step forward and shouted: "Silence! No noise is allowed in the main hall!"

All the ministers fell silent.

Li Shimin looked at Hou Junji and said in a deep voice, "Hou Junji, Wei Zheng impeached you for these three crimes, do you have something to say?"

Hou Junji came out and said in a respectful voice: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged! I have traveled thousands of miles before finally destroying the Gaochang Kingdom. On the way, the ministers and soldiers kept rushing day and night under the wind and snow, fearing that there will be delays. Spring plowing!"

"In order to transport the seeds of Baijihua back to the Tang Dynasty in time, I almost worked hard. I never thought that Mr. Wei would impeach me!"

"All the property transported back has been registered by the minister and handed over to the household department. As for King Gaochang, he did die of a sudden illness. Xue Wanche did capture King Gaochang alive, but King Gaochang was injured when he fell from his horse, and he was in shock, so he died soon after. Died of a sudden illness, as for insulting Gaochang King's harem, it is even more nonsense!"

"I followed His Majesty to fight in all directions. Although I didn't make much military exploits, I followed His Majesty's charge. I have always been loyal to Your Majesty. Could it be that Your Majesty still doesn't trust me?"

Li Shimin was speechless when he heard this. Hou Junji had indeed been with him for many years, and he had worked hard without credit. He had always trusted Hou Junji because Hou Junji was indeed loyal to him.

Moreover, he had great expectations for Hou Junji, in order to cultivate Hou Junji, he even went so far as to ask Li Jing to call him Art of War.
