Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 126 Hou Junji was scared to pee
After Zhang Xuansu left, Hou Junji, who knew how to deal with this mess, sorted the documents of each department one by one, and put aside the documents that were about to be presented to the emperor.

After all this hard work, he, who was sweaty all over, picked up the already cold teapot and drank it all in one go.

But just as he was wiping his sweat with his sleeve, a servant came running outside and said that the emperor had summoned him, which made the busy and disheartened Hou Junji feel like something serious had happened in the middle of the night.

After tidying up indiscriminately, he followed the servant into the Hongwen Hall.

"Your Majesty will see the collection of ministers and princes."

"Oh, Junji is here, sit down." Li Shimin put down the notebook in his hand and pointed to the seat opposite Li Chengqian.

"In the past few days, I have been doing well in the Hongwen Palace and the Ministry of Officials."

The more the emperor spoke like this, the more nervous Hou Junji became.He has been with Li Shimin for more than ten years, and he still understands his lord's temper.

If there was nothing important, the emperor would not have called him, the official of the Hongwen Palace, in the middle of the night because of such trivial disappearances.

"Return to Your Majesty, you know, I'm a warrior and not good at political affairs. Now I'm learning from Fang Du and other adults, I believe I can get used to it after a while."

Well, Li Shimin nodded: "It's Zhangsun Wuji who sent an urgent report to call you late. Junji, you are the leader of the army, and now you are in charge of the official department. Have you heard any discussions down there recently? ,"

"I don't know what your Majesty is asking about." He himself was so busy in order to fulfill his new duties that he had no time to grind his mouth with those people.

"A while ago, Zhang Baoxiang reported a great victory in the Bai Dao, saying that Xue Yantuo's tribe brazenly invaded the Bai Dao, and was about to make a large-scale eastward move, and almost made a joke of a westward expedition. You must have heard of this incident."

"Is this really true? I thought it was Xiao Yu and the others who were jealous of the achievements of Pinghu generals and wanted to frame them." Hou Junji was telling the truth. He has led troops to fight for so many years, but that time he was not messed with by those civil officials. ah.

Its content is not lying about reporting military achievements, plotting to rebel, and then setting up troops to plunder these old three things.

He has long been used to it, and after hearing it, he just pretended to be laughing.But today, when the emperor asked such a question, he had to break out in a cold sweat. What the hell, could this be true.

"Junji, you have been fighting with me for so many years, and you are the person I can trust the most.

So I won't hide it from you, Changsun Wuji sent this urgent report saying that Li Jing condoned Zhang Baoxiang to falsely report military achievements and false military information, and Li Jina had already confirmed this to him.

But now there are some people in the court saying that Li Jing has other plans.Junji, you are Li Jing's student, and you have spent a lot of time with him. Tell me, does Li Jing really have other plans? "

After hearing the emperor's words, Hou Junji, who had received the urgent report, was dead, and opened it mechanically. He was not in the mood to read what was written inside.His mind was full of being implicated in this anti-crime, and his family was ransacked.

If he dies, he will die, but isn't the Baishikou at home not suffering?Besides, I didn't rebel. Isn't the emperor doubting himself when he asks this question now?

Thinking of this, Hou Junji couldn't care less, knelt down with a plop, and said with snot and tears, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty. You understand me well.

When I went to learn the art of war from Li Jing, it was you who asked me to go.Apart from learning the art of war from him, I don't have any contact with him at ordinary times."

"Oh, what are you doing. Chengqian, why don't you help Lu Guogong up. What I'm asking is what does Li Jing have to do with you, look, it's sweating."

Li Chengqian shrugged, helped Hou Junji up, and handed him the sweat towel from his sleeve.

"Who are you, Hou Junji, can I still not know? Without you old generals of the Qin Palace, I don't even know if I would have survived to this day, let alone become emperor. So I still believe in you. "

After Li Shimin took a sip of tea, he said with a smile.

"Your Majesty looks at me this way, so I can rest assured. I don't have many private teachers with Li Jing, and he has a large army in his hand, and he is far away in Dingxiang. If there is really any conspiracy, I really don't know. But."

"But what? There are only three of us, the monarch and his ministers, here tonight. Don't be shy. Speak freely. You can say whatever you want." Seeing Hou Junji like this, you know that there are still some conflicts between their master and apprentice. Okay, so I can rest assured.

"Your Majesty, when I was studying the art of war with Li Jing, I begged him to teach me everything I have learned in my life, so that I can use it to fight for Your Majesty.

However, he only taught his ministers seventeen strategies of the twenty strategies of war that he learned from his uncle Han Qinhu.

The minister has asked him to teach the three strategies many times, but he just refuses to do so.Why did he keep those three strategies? What is the purpose of keeping such a move? "

After Hou Junji finished speaking, Li Shimin was completely at ease. Since there were no generals in the army who were willing to rebel against Li Jing, then his tiger would have no teeth, and the rest would be easy to talk about.

"Haha, okay, okay, don't mention this matter in the future. Junji, go back to Hongwen Palace and rest early.".
"Hey, I said Lu Guogong, didn't my father tell you to go back and rest? Why are you still here?" Li Chengqian was very surprised, it had been an hour since he left Chengqing Palace.

After giving a salute to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, the old minister is waiting for you here on purpose. You have heard what he said just now. Do you think the old minister can still sleep soundly?"

Hehe, Li Chengqian smiled and shook his head: "Okay, since I can't sleep, let's go to Hongwen Palace to have a chat."

After tasting a cup of fragrant tea, Hou Junji couldn't hold back any longer, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has been asking how the general is doing just now, did you really believe the words of those blind censors?
Besides, His Majesty wouldn't take what I said seriously. If so, I would have hurt him. "

Originally, Li Chengqian kicked Li Jing at the two of them at this time, thinking that they were quite knowledgeable about current affairs.

But from outside the Chengqing Hall to here, Hou Junji's guilty look was noticed by him along the way.

He has a new evaluation of Hou Junji, who doesn't have parents, wife and children, and it's too late to hide from such a thing, so it's understandable to do so.

"Duke Lu, you and Duke Ying have done a good job. Your Majesty's heart will be at ease, and the general will be fine.

As for your appointment as a civil servant, don't think too much about it. The imperial court will still use you in the future.

To tell you the truth, His Majesty is preparing to transfer Li Daozong and Li Daliang back to the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Industry, so don't think too much about transferring you. "

It should be appeased, no matter what reason the emperor removed his military power, Li Chengqian must let Hou Junji think so.

"Thunder, rain and dew are all the blessings of heaven. As a minister, I will look forward to your Majesty at any time."
