Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1430
Hou Junji was a little surprised when he heard Qin Tian send him a letter.

But Qin Tian certainly wouldn't come to deliver the letter for no reason, so he quickly ordered someone to bring the letter over.

After reading the letter like this, Hou Junji's eyes narrowed slightly.

There is not much content in the letter, let him resign and retire.

He, Hou Junji, is not very old, he is only in his forties, he is in the prime of life, what kind of age is there?

Qin Tian said that this method could save him.

Hou Junji couldn't help but yelled, he felt that Qin Tian wanted him to remove the position of Minister of War, so that Li Chengqian's people could fight for it.

The letter was flipped back and forth in Hou Junji's hands, he was a little uncertain.

The next day, there was an autumn rain in Chang'an City, and the autumn rain was cool.

In the early morning, Hou Junji did not come.

However, some people in the DPRK did not intend to let him go.

"My lord, Hou Junji killed and surrendered, it is an unforgivable crime."

"Holy Majesty, it's bad luck to kill Jiang, my Tang Dynasty will suffer disaster because of this."

"My lord, a plague broke out in a county in the south of the Yangtze River. It may be because of Hou Junji's killing and surrender. Please punish me severely." '

"My lord, Hou Junji is unforgivable."

"........."

Officials, you said one sentence to another. It is very strange today that Li Tai's people did not speak for Hou Junji. I don't know if they have other plans or they have given up on Hou Junji.

However, no one objected, and they were quite happy. In this case, Hou Junji's end must be miserable, right?
Seeing this situation, Li Shimin's mouth twitched slightly.

At this time, an official came forward with a memorial and said, "Your Majesty, Hou Junji has a memorial."

Li Shimin said: "What else is Hou Junji going to say?"

"Your Majesty, Hou Junji said that he has suffered many wounds from fighting in the past years. When it rains recently, his whole body feels stiff and his wounds feel cold. He feels that he can no longer fight, so he hopes that His Majesty will allow him to retire and return home. .”

The official told about Hou Junji's memorial, which was unexpected by everyone, and neither was Li Shimin.

In everyone's perception, Hou Junji is the kind of person who likes to fight, and likes power very much. Will he be willing to leave like this, resign and return to his hometown?

Everyone doesn't believe it.

But after Hou Junji said this, Li Shimin had to think about it.

This Hou Junji has made great contributions to him in the Tang Dynasty, and he has also made great contributions to the dragon. If he resigns like this and leaves, how will the world say about him Li Shimin?
The emperor who kills heroes will not have a good reputation in the history books.

Li Shimin glanced at the court, there were not many people willing to speak for Hou Junji, and now that Hou Junji was like this, he wasn't too worried.

He wasn't too worried at first, it was just a little grudge.

The people in the court hall were still discussing, Li Shimin thought for a moment, and said: "No, my Great Tang wants him to expand the territory. Although it is not right to kill and surrender, he has also made the decision to destroy the country." Let them offset their merits and demerits, and from tomorrow on, Hou Junji will return to his post as an official, and he can walk freely."

After the words fell, Chaotang was shocked.

No one expected that Hou Junji's resignation memorial would turn the situation around.

Shu Wang Li Ke's eyes were red, and murderous aura burst out.

Originally, this was the best time to attack Wei Wang Li Tai, and one of Wei Wang Li Tai's wings could be broken at once, but what he didn't expect was that Hou Junji's memorial disrupted all his plans.

He was puzzled, how could a memorial have such a miraculous effect?

Unbelievable, really unbelievable, he didn't understand what his father was thinking?

Is it just because you are afraid of being poked in the back and saying that you have treated the hero badly?
Li Ke was furious, but compared with Wei Wang and Li Tai, he was secretly happy.

Originally, he was ready to go up this morning and exert all his strength to protect Hou Junji. Anyway, he, Wei Wang Li Tai, is very powerful in the court, so it should not be difficult to protect Hou Junji.

However, at dusk yesterday, he received a letter from Hou Junji asking him not to act rashly, so today their people did not help Hou Junji.

I thought it would be difficult to handle, but who ever thought it would be done immediately.

He didn't understand what was going on, maybe his father felt that it was not good to treat heroes badly, and it would easily chill people's hearts.

But he didn't go into it too deeply. Anyway, when Hou Junji returned to his post as an official, his right-hand man would be saved.

He said some other things in the morning court, and finally retreated towards noon.

Li Yuanjing didn't really care much about what happened in court this morning. Li Shimin's sons were arguing about it. Does it have anything to do with him?

It doesn't matter whether they fight or not, anyway, he has only one way to rebel.

After a fight, the court is just a little chaotic.

On the way back, Li Yuanjing frowned slightly: "It's almost time, isn't it?"

Li Shimin's edict was delivered to Hou Junji's residence as quickly as possible after the early dynasty ended.

"General Hou, it's not easy for the Holy Majesty to miss you. Your merits and demerits are equal, and you are allowed to return to your post. I hope that the general will contribute to the Great Tang in the future."

Hearing that Li Shimin really forgave himself, Hou Junji was very shocked. Does Qin Tian's letter really work like that?
In the past, he and Qin Tian were still a little bit at odds, thinking that Qin Tian was trying to harm him, and then seek some benefits for Prince Li Chengqian, but now it seems that Qin Tian really intended to save him.

It was also fortunate that he believed in Qin Tian, ​​otherwise he might not know what the consequences would be.

Hou Junji thought to himself, naturally he had to accept Qin Tian's ability.

But at this time, he quickly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, please tell Your Majesty that I, Hou Junji, will bleed and die for the Tang Dynasty in this life, and I am not afraid at all."

The palace people heard Hou Junji's words, so they didn't stay longer in the mansion, and hurried back to the palace, returning to Li Shimin.

After the palace servants left, Hou Junji thought about whether to thank Qin Tian, ​​but after much deliberation, he felt that it was better not to. Now he is still Wei Wang Li Tai's man, and Qin Tian is Li Chengqian's man. If he went to meet Qin Tian, ​​Li Tai might misunderstand.

Among the several princes, he felt that Li Tai was more capable than Li Chengqian, and he was the most likely to win the crown prince, so he supported Li Tai. This time, Li Tai's performance did not disappoint him. About Li Tai.

Of course, Li Tai is not the prince at this time, but this is not important. Li Shimin, who was the king of Qin back then, doesn't seem to be the prince either. Didn't he still become the emperor?

With the precedent of Li Shimin, even if they are not princes, they will not feel that there is no hope.

The dynasty has a precedent, and those who follow will naturally follow.

Not only the prince thinks so, but even courtiers think so too.
