Man Tanghong

Chapter 772
After distributing the stolen money from reselling water and sea tickets, Li Yuanji didn't keep Li Xiaogong and Su Dingfang, and let them leave.

Not long after they left the palace, Xie Shufang and the other members of the Qi Palace received a huge sum of money from unknown sources.

After a little thought, Xie Shufang and the others understood the origin of the huge sum of money, and then they worked harder.

Hou Junji, who had been working in the old circle of Prince Qi's mansion, was even more jealous.

He also ran more frequently to the palace.

"Tell me about you, a lord of a country, who came to grind ink for me all day, and let others know, and thought that my lord of the Tang Dynasty was worthless."

Inside the Tai Chi Hall.

After Li Yuanji drew up a pen to instruct Xue Shou and others to expand the official roads in various parts of Daizhou, he looked helplessly at Hou Junji who was grinding beside him.

Hou Junji is also a big and small figure in history, and he rebelled against Li Shimin, the king of kings.

Such a character, bending over like a dog's leg, standing in front of the imperial case grinding ink, really makes people feel helpless.

Hearing this, Hou Junji not only did not stop grinding the ink, but even more vigorously, and smiled flatteringly while grinding: "Compared with Your Highness, what is a minister like a prince.

It is my honor to grind ink for His Highness, and others will only envy them if they know about it, so how can they make irresponsible remarks. "

Good guy, you can lick better than Yu Wenbao.

You are a prince, a person who almost sent Li Shimin away in history, is it really appropriate to lick like this?

Li Yuanji held a pen and looked at Hou Junji, not knowing what to say.

"Bah! Shameless!"

When Xiao Yu, who was sitting at the bottom and was dealing with official business, heard Hou Junji's words, he almost spit out the last night's meal, spat a little, and cursed in a low voice.

Although the sound was very small, everyone in the hall heard it.

This is Xiao Yu.

If this were Li Gang, he would probably point at Hou Junji's nose and yell at him.

Li Gang will not give face to any flatterer, nor will he give any sycophant a chance to continue being disgusting.

When Hou Junji heard Xiao Yu's words, his face twitched slightly, but he didn't react too much.

Although his flattering skills are still far from the level of resignation, but as long as he persists in patting, it may not be long before he will reach the point of resignation.

But Li Yuanji didn't want Hou Junji to become this kind of person.

Hou Junji is also a military general who has left a strong mark in history. He can be killed, but he cannot be humiliated, let alone become a flatterer.

"Junji, do you know why I thought of you first when I was attacking the Turkic people without using so many generals under my second brother's command?"

Li Yuanji put down the pen in his hand, stared at Hou Junji and asked.

Hou Junji was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to speak.

He couldn't say that it was because he was better than other generals in Qin Palace, could he?
He's not that shameless yet.

In terms of qualifications, abilities, and past achievements, he is far from being an opponent of the older generation Qu Tutong, Liu Hongji, Huang Junhan and others.

In terms of strategy and martial arts, he is not an opponent of the new generation of grandson Wuji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others.

He was only slightly better than Niu Jinda, Wu Heita, Zhang Shigui and others.

As far as this is concerned, in terms of credit, he is not as many as Niu Jinda, Wu Heita, Zhang Shigui and others.

Therefore, he is not considered the most outstanding in Qin Palace.

Whether Li Yuanji wanted to be recruited or reused, it was not his turn.

So why Li Yuanji ordered his general alone, he couldn't give an answer.

Seeing that Hou Junji was silent, Li Yuanji continued: "Because among the people in my second brother's house, I like you the most. I believe that you are capable, and I also believe that you can build a supreme power for my Tang Dynasty." Merit, it's just bad luck, and I didn't get more military exploits when my second brother was fighting in the South and the North.

But given the chance, you're sure to shine.

That's why I chose you and gave you a chance. "

Hou Junji suddenly raised his head and stared at Li Yuanji in astonishment.

He couldn't believe Li Yuanji's words.

Li Yuanji continued: "I am so optimistic about you, you should work harder to show me your value, instead of serving as my servant here and giving me the saddle."

Hou Junji opened his mouth, and lowered his head with an unnatural expression.

Li Yuanji sighed and said: "I believe that in your heart you hope to make contributions. You don't need to humiliate yourself like this. In the future, you should train soldiers for my Tang Dynasty and make contributions."

Hou Junji raised his head anxiously.

You can make contributions, but you must first include me in your confidant system.

Otherwise, I always feel that I am separated from you by a floor, and eating is not good.

"Let your wife prepare more dowry. When your eldest daughter is born, send her to Wude Hall and be with Cheng Yu as a companion."

Li Yuanji sighed helplessly.

I'm sorry son, I made your marriage without your consent.

I'm sorry nephew, I stole your wife.

Historically, Hou Junji's daughter married Li Chengqian, the then Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, and became the Crown Princess.

This is also the main reason why Hou Jun rebelled later.

His daughter is the concubine of the crown prince, and he is the father-in-law of the prince. If Li Shimin is sent away, Li Chengqian will naturally become the emperor, his daughter will also be promoted to the queen, and he will naturally be promoted to the head of the country. The existence of power over the government and the opposition.

Now betrotting his daughter to Li Chengyu is considered to have robbed Li Chengqian's daughter-in-law, so naturally he has to say sorry to Li Chengqian.

When Hou Junji heard this, he was overjoyed, walked quickly to the hall, knelt down, kowtowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness...Thank you for your kindness..."

Hou Junji is now just a prince, and his status is not as high as in history, nor is he as powerful as in history.

So letting his daughter be the princess of the county is a kind of generous gift.

It is also a signal to accept him as a confidant.

Of course he was happy, of course he was excited.

"Okay, don't be a kowtow here, go down quickly."

Li Yuanji waved his hand, signaling Hou Junji to leave quickly.

Hou Junji had already obtained what he wanted, so naturally he didn't need to stay in the Tai Chi Hall any longer, so he kowtowed again immediately, and quickly exited the Tai Chi Hall.

As soon as Hou Junji left, Xiao Yu couldn't help but said: "This guy Hou Junji has taken advantage of it, it seems that His Highness likes it?"

That set?
Is this a set of stalkers?

Li Yuanji gave Xiao Yu a blank look, and said angrily: "Everyone knows that your Xiao family has beautiful women, if you have this idea, you can send the young girl to the palace, and I will let her be a concubine for my elder brother. "

It is a well-known fact in Datang that the Xiao family produces beauties.

Because Xiao's genes are good, and Xiao's used to be a royal family, after absorbing many excellent genes, the genes are even better.

So there was such a beauty as the former Sui Empress Xiao, who attracted several emperors to salivate.

In addition, Xiao's other women are not bad, all of them are beautiful and moving.

Therefore, there is a concubine from the Xiao family in Li Yuan Palace, and there is also a concubine in Li Jiancheng Palace, not to mention the pervert Li Shimin.

That is to say, Empress Xiao is already old, otherwise she would definitely be able to achieve what Wu Zetian achieved ahead of schedule.

The father-in-law is the husband, and the son is also the husband.

When Xiao Yu heard this, the expression on his face froze all of a sudden, showing rejection all over his body.

Everyone knows that Li Jiancheng has become a puppet now, and even if he ascends the throne in the future, he will still be a puppet emperor.

Although he was a beauty from the Xiao family, he was not rich enough to send it away as a vase for others.

If Li Yuanji asked for it for himself, or for his son, then he would definitely agree.

But Li Yuanji was begging for his brother.

Then say nothing.

"Your Highness was joking. Although there are many daughters in my Xiao family, those who are suitable for marriage have already got engagements. I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy His Highness's generous gifts."

Xiao Yu said dryly.

Li Yuanji knew that Xiao Yu was telling lies, so he pretended to believe it, and said cooperatively: "That's a pity..."

Xiao Yu hurriedly nodded and echoed, "Yes, yes, it's a pity."

At this time, Zhao Chengyong suddenly rushed into the hall and reported: "Your Highness, the Minister of Honglu Temple is asking to see you..."

Li Yuanji's expression changed slightly and he said, "Please!"

Not long after, the Minister of Honglu Temple arrived in the Taiji Hall, and after bowing to salute, he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, a messenger came from Turkic just now, saying that he wanted to discuss with His Highness about exchanging their Ke He Dun and Little Khan. matter..."

Li Yuanji raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Yu's face also changed slightly.

"Okay, okay, Jieli really dared to repeat the same trick, detaining my envoys from the Tang Dynasty, and using them in exchange for us."

Li Yuanji laughed back in anger.

Although everything was in his expectation, but it really happened, he still felt very angry.

When is it now, when Datang is ruling the roost, when the light of Datang is shining all over the world.

As Datang's neighbor, if he doesn't make a good grade, it's fine to be Datang's cattle and horses, but he dares to break the diplomatic rules and provoke Datang.

Who is too familiar!
"Go and tell the Turkic people that I, Datang, do not accept exchange, but only accept redemption!"

Li Yuanji said with a ferocious smile.

Honglu Siqing looked astonished.

After Datang's envoys were detained, according to the usual practice, didn't they first detain the other party's envoys, and then teach the other party to be a man through fighting?

When did the redemption start?

"What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you go quickly?!"

Li Yuanji scolded.

The Minister of Honglu Temple hurriedly agreed, and quickly ran out of the Taiji Hall to negotiate with the Turkic people. Not long after, he returned to the Taiji Hall and brought the latest news.

"Your Highness, people from the Turks said that their Khan does not agree with you buying Tang Jian and others, but they also said that you can give them some goods, and they can make Tang Jian and others live better in Turks."

Honglu Siqing said with a strange expression on his face.

Abnormal, really abnormal.

Whether it was the Turks who came here this time, or Li Yuanji, their behavior was too abnormal.

The Turkic people uncharacteristically wanted to benefit from it, and Li Yuanji uncharacteristically wanted to redeem Tang Jian and others with the Turkic people.

He always felt that there was something he didn't know about, but Li Yuanji didn't say anything, so he couldn't ask.
