The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 758 Dismissal Investigation
The army was stationed outside the city, and Hou Junji led a group of subordinates into the city.

Then the old man knew that Li Muyun's courage was really not ordinary. There was not a single Gaochang defender in the huge Gaochang city. When he asked about the captives, he found out that all the Gaochang defenders who surrendered were killed by him. clean.

And the matter was far from over here. After careful questioning, Hou Junji found out that this guy even opened the Gaochang treasury, and he took out one-third of the treasury to distribute to soldiers and as pensions.

Not to mention, when he arrived in the palace, Hou Junji was shocked to find that Ju Wentai was tied up and kneeling in front of eight coffins. It seemed that he had died for a long time.

"You, you are..." Rao Hou Junji, a murderous person, was shocked by everything in front of him, and he was tongue-tied for a while but didn't know what to say.

Li Muyun reached out to take off the helmet, hugged his hands, and knelt down on one knee: "Chief Manager, Muyun knows that he has made a big mistake, and he is solely responsible for all the crimes."

Hou Junji was silent for a moment, then waved his hands and said, "Get up, the old man can't decide how to deal with it, wait for the old book to write the whole story of what happened here to His Majesty, let's see how His Majesty will deal with it."

"Yes, thank you for your irresponsible grace." Li Muyun thought for a while, put on his helmet again, and stood aside obediently.

Originally, he still wanted to make some mistakes on purpose, but now it seems that he no longer needs to make mistakes on purpose. The things that happened now are enough for him to go around.

It's just that Li Muyun doesn't feel regretful about what happened these days, on the contrary, he feels very depressed. They say that everything will be successful, and he doesn't feel that much when he doesn't experience it personally. The description is really a bit simple.

Those poets only described one scene, but they did not describe the spiritual torment experienced by the generals when they faced the death of their subordinates.

……

In Chang'an, when the first snow fell, Li Shimin received a battle report from Gaochang, which included a secret report from Hou Junji.

Li Er was very happy to hear the news of Gaochang's victory, but after seeing the secret report, Li Shimin couldn't be happier.

This guy Li Muyun is really too courageous. He divided the treasury privately, killed prisoners of war without authorization, and disregarded human lives. Even if he counted them all, even if he cut off his head, it would not be enough to atone for his crime.

You know, the country has its laws, and the army also has the laws of the army. The Seventeen Laws and 54 Cuts are not a joke. Li Muyun completely ignored these laws and insisted on going his own way. explain.

However, if it is really dealt with according to the law... well, if it is dealt with according to the law, I am afraid that this guy's head will not be kept.

Although Li Shimin had known for a long time that this guy was not a worry-free person, the situation in front of him was really tricky.

After thinking for several days, Li Shimin couldn't think of a proper solution, and finally had to call Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and others to the palace, intending to listen to their ideas.

Changsun Wuji and the others didn't know the specifics of what happened in Gaochang, but more or less heard some rumors.

After all, this kind of thing can't be hidden from anyone, let alone Li Muyun's affairs are done with great fanfare, and he has no plan to hide it from others.

"That's roughly the case, what do you guys think, let's talk about it!"

Inside the palace, Li Shimin handed over the memorial of Hou Junji to Changsun Wuji and others to read it, and when everyone had finished reading it, he asked with a blank expression.

"Your Majesty, if you say this matter is not big or small, I'm afraid someone in the court will hold you accountable." Changsun Wuji hesitated for a moment and said.

Li Jing shook his head and sighed: "Even if there is no one in the court to hold them accountable, we must give a reasonable explanation to the people of the world. Otherwise, everyone in the surrounding vassal states may be in danger, which will be detrimental to our Tang Dynasty in the future."

"Your Majesty, Yichen thinks it's better to release the exact information first, and see how the parties respond? If it really can't be resolved..." Fang Xuanling didn't finish his sentence, but I personally understood what he meant.

If the matter really can't be resolved, at worst, let Li Muyun 'escape' halfway, anyway, as long as he can save his life, at worst, he can think of a way later.

Li Shimin shook his head: "This matter can't be so hasty, I still have to consider the emperor's thoughts!"

"This..." Fang Xuanling was stunned: "The Supreme Emperor shouldn't embarrass His Majesty, right?"

Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "Unfortunately, the Supreme Emperor wants to keep him safe."

"But what should we do? How can we survive such a big incident? Besides, didn't His Majesty explain to the Supreme Emperor the obstacles in Li Muyun's identity?" Changsun Wuji said in confusion.

"Say it or not, it's not like you don't know the emperor's temper."

As the so-called old child, old child means that the older you are, the younger you are. Although Li Yuan, the Supreme Emperor, has little power, he is Li Shimin's father. The things he is sure of are indeed difficult to deal with.

If Li Shimin did what the old man wanted, it would certainly bring him a reputation as a dutiful son, but it would affect fairness and justice. Those generals who were punished for sharing the spoils would definitely have a grudge.

However, if Li Shimin doesn't act according to the old man's idea, then he will get a reputation of being unfilial, which makes it really difficult for this imperialist leader.

In the end, it was Li Jing who said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter cannot be dealt with according to the Supreme Emperor's wishes. If Xiaoyao County King doesn't deal with it, I'm afraid more people will follow suit in the future. "

"Yeah, according to Yichen, it's better to resign Prince Xiaoyao for the time being, and then order him to return to Beijing to report on his duties. We only need to see how things will develop after he returns, and we will make a decision at that time."

Li Shimin nodded: "Wait and see what happens?! This is a way!"

……

Within a few days of [-] miles, he went back and forth between Gaochang and Chang'an. Hou Junji waited restlessly for half a month, and finally came to a result: Li Muyun cut off the position of king, and took over the position of general of the army and guard. From the date of the transfer order, return to Beijing immediately.

Although such a result is not unexpected, it is obviously not the final disposition opinion.

Li Muyun was also aware of it, but he didn't regret it.

Everyone has a persistence in their hearts, and Li Muyun's persistence is the kindness of a drop of water, and he will surely repay it.

Eight guards died because of his decision, and he had to give them an explanation, even if he used his life to pay back in the end, he would not hesitate.

As for running away halfway and wandering the world... sorry, as a man, no matter what, Li Muyun would not live his whole life with a crime on his back.
