Chapter 404 Aftermath of Gaochang
And soon, Hou Junji destroyed Gaochang, and captured Qu Zhisheng's entire clan, as well as his civil and military ministers.

In theory, as long as his father Ju Wentai came to Chang'an to dance alone, it would be enough.

But whoever made Ju Wentai die, even Hou Junji would not ask Ju Wentai to perform the undead dance, so the entire court of Gaochang had to come in person.

Of course, plus the native people of Gaochang, the entire Gaochang country was almost empty, and a large number of people were directly escorted back to Chang'an by Hou Junji.

However, as a prisoner, don't expect much preferential treatment. Even if people from the medical battalion occasionally came out to check on them along the way, to ensure that they would be able to march the next day, that was all. Naturally, they experienced inhuman treatment.

No one knows how many people there are in Gaochang at the beginning of the journey, but when they finally arrived in Chang'an at the end of November, there were only 25 people left.

But before Chang'an City arrived, Fang Xuanling and Gao Jifu led people to welcome them out.

Because since the Turkic people were expelled, the number of aliens in Honglu Temple's hands has dropped significantly, which made Honglu Temple, which was used to living a prosperous life, also start to become tight.

Although Honglu Temple also gradually began to ask for population purchases on the grasslands, anyone with a normal IQ on the grasslands knew that the population in their hands was their own strength, and they could not be easily sold.

This made it more difficult for Honglu Temple to acquire people.

Now 25 people have come and need to go through the corresponding procedures. Although this is an internal matter of Honglu Temple, with the character of King Wei, he will more or less give Honglu Temple a red envelope.

Now Honglu Temple is counting on this new year, so naturally they are quite active.

Hou Junji didn't know the truth in it, but Hou Junji knew very well that a man in Gaochang could earn three hundred cash by himself, and a woman could earn one hundred cash by himself.

Now there are 25 people here, and Hou Junji feels that there are countless small money in front of his eyes.

As for the way Fang Xuanling looked at Hou Junji, it was even more friendly.

Originally, they only expected Hou Junji to attract 10 people, but they didn't expect it to increase to 25 people this time.

These populations were given to King Wei, I believe he must be quite happy, as for himself being able to extract a little profit from it, it is naturally a happy event.

All in all, a happy situation has been achieved except for Gao Chang who is sad.

As for Gao Chang, as long as he can revive the dead and speak out, then Datang is also reasonable and will give him a chance to speak.

It's just that the person who can speak now is gone, so you can't blame Datang for being unreasonable.

Afterwards, Hou Junji offered his captives to Guande Hall, and Li Shimin held a banquet for three days, and all the people in the group got drunk.

When the celebration was over, Li Shimin conferred Qu Zhisheng as Zuo Wuwei General Jincheng Jungong considering more or less showing the benevolent appearance of Tang Dynasty and appeasing the people of Gaochang.

Then Ju Zhisheng didn't dance this time and only performed the prisoner presentation ceremony, but Gaochang musicians joined Taichang, and the nine musicians were increased to ten musicians.

Of course, since the celebration is over, the next step should be to enter the mode of suppressing military generals that civilian officials like to see.

This kind of feeling is like, you go home after a long time. On the first day and the second day, your parents prepare a table full of dishes for you to enjoy, and on the third day and the fourth day they start to pick your nose Picking up your eyes makes you want to leave immediately!

Immediately, there was a censor's report that Hou Junji broke Gaochang and took its treasures privately;

Then the hero was sent to the Imperial Prison, where he was asked to reflect calmly.

At the same time, people like Wang Xuance and Ashinashe Ershou were rewarded because they did not participate in the looting of Gaochang.

To be honest, under the Fubing system, it is unreasonable to say that Hou Junji cannot prohibit soldiers from robbing and stealing.

But this is just a simple excuse, to suppress Hou Junji's raised tail and arrogant arrogance.

Datang suppressed military generals who made great contributions to destroying the country to a certain extent. To a certain extent, it is a problem left over from history.

When Li Jing destroyed the Eastern Turks, he was suppressed by civil servants in the country.

And Li Jing is more face-to-face, facing all kinds of suppression, he is still as a mountain, and even handed over his military power, does not associate with anyone, and his body began to suffer from various diseases.

But when Datang needed Li Jing, Li Jing said directly that his illnesses were all healed. After watching me perform Tuyuhun, and then finished the last battle of destroying the country, An Anxin retired with wolfberry in his arms.

This gave the civil servants a habit of thinking, thinking that everyone was as easy-talking as Li Jing.

In addition, Hou Junji has been studying with a collection of classics and history for a long time, making the civil servants think that Hou Junji has understood that this imprisonment is just a procedure.

If there is a war after you come out, then you will still be the commander-in-chief of one side and become the second generation of the military god of the Tang Dynasty.

No, Hou Junji had only been imprisoned for a few days, and Cen Wenwen, on behalf of the civil servants, spoke politely:
"Gaochang was in a coma, and His Majesty ordered the emperor to discuss and restrain him, within ten days, and to pay Dali.

Although Junji and others hang their own nets, they are afraid that people in the sea will suspect that your majesty will only record his mistakes and leave his merits.

The minister heard that he was ordered to leave the army, and the main task is to defeat the enemy. If he can defeat the enemy, he will be rewarded even if he is greedy; if he fails, he will be punished even though he is honest.

Therefore, Li Guangli and Chen Tang of the Han Dynasty, Wang Jun of the Jin Dynasty, and Han of the Sui Dynasty who captured the tiger were all guilty and condemned, and the owner was rewarded for his meritorious service.From this point of view, among the generals and generals, there are few honest and prudent ones, and many greedy ones.

Therefore, Huang Shigong's "Military Power" said: "To use wisdom, to make courage, to make greed, to make fools, so the wise are happy to make meritorious deeds, the brave are good at carrying out their ambitions, the greedy are eager to pursue their profits, and the fools do not care about their death."

"Fu Yuan records his little labor and forgets his great mistakes, so that the king will be promoted to the court again, and he will be ready to drive. Although he is not a pure minister, he will still be a greedy and foolish general. Although His Majesty is obedient to the law, he will show his virtue. Although Junji and others were forgiven, it will be more obvious. "

The steps were passed to Li Shimin's feet, and Li Shimin took advantage of the opportunity to release Hou Junji.

Li Shimin naturally thought that this matter was over, he had tempered Hou Junji's temper, and he was still the number one hunk under him.

After all, Hou Junji is different from others, he was the personal guard of Prince Qin's mansion from the beginning, and he was trained by Li Shimin.

From having nothing at the beginning to the current Duke of Tang, even Li Shimin wanted to train Hou Junji as the second generation of Li Jing.

The whole model is exactly the same as Li Jing's. It is precisely because of a little suppression that he can be entrusted with a heavy responsibility when it is used in the future.

But there is a little problem here, one is that Hou Junji's personality is different from Li Jing's.

He has the qualifications to become the second generation of the God of War, but he cannot become the second generation of Li Jing.

After Li Jing was praised by Yang Su, the entire Sui Dynasty was polished all the way to the age of 40, and finally worked under Li Yuan, who had reported the rebellion. How could Li Jing be careless.

Even if it is a little loss, it is considered a blessing.

Su Dingfang under him was affected, and Li Jing didn't dare to help, so he only took the opportunity to throw Su Dingfang to Li Tai, and arranged him in Youzhou, which was considered an confession.

But since Hou Junji followed Li Shimin, he has always been going smoothly, but he has never had such an experience.

All in all, Li Shimin believed in his friendship with Hou Junji, but he didn't expect Hou Junji's character to be more rebellious.

As for the second point, Hou Junji's money is gone, uh, it's Li Tai's money for buying the Gaochang captives.

Because the rewards of the soldiers should be distributed in time, Li Tai knows this best.

So the money order had been prepared long ago. Basically, when the Gaochang captives arrived, Li Tai entrusted Ma Zhou to hand over the money order to Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling deducted the part from the imperial court and distributed it to the military.

Seeing that Hou Junji was imprisoned, several high-ranking officers in the military thought that Hou Junji was gone, and their familiarity with Hou Junji was far less than the money ticket they got, so they resolutely distributed the money to the soldiers first. .

As for Hou Junji's share, who got it?have no idea.How much do you take?have no idea.

In short, by the time Hou Junji came out, the money had already been distributed.

At this point, it is impossible to spit out the money to Hou Junji.

After all, even if these generals were inferior to Hou Junji's status, each of them was either a Duke of the State, or a Duke of the County, and at worst a Marquis again.

One person can't stand it, but a group of people face a Hou Junji who has lost power, so what are you afraid of!
Therefore, in less than a month after returning, Hou Junji became a prisoner in the blink of an eye from a glorious commander-in-chief.

When Hou Junji came out, he lost his power, military power, wealth, and even his colleagues who had been acquainted with him in the past.

Hou Junji had never suffered such a big stumble in his life. Although he had seen the light of day again, he couldn't swallow the breath in his heart!
In any case, the matter of Hou Junji has more or less come to an end. Whether Hou Junji is willing or not, this is the imperial court's suppression of him, and it is also the only way for him to become the second generation of the military god. Before the rebellion, I'm afraid it won't change.

Of course, there are actually quite a lot of aftermath of the Gaochang incident.

In addition to Hou Junji being affected, Xue Wanjun was accused of adultery with Gaochang women, but Xue Wanjun refused to accept his impatience and demanded to confront the Gaochang women.

Fortunately, Wei Zheng remonstrated that there was no point in arguing between the general and the subjugated woman, and Li Shimin was somewhat persuaded.

Then the next thing has a little relationship with Li Tai.

Hou Junji's horse was sick with gnats, and the marching chief Zhao Yuankai personally sniffed the pus with his fingers. The censor decisively played Zhao Yuankai's flattery.

However, Ma Zhou remonstrated that this matter needs to be used as a warning to others, and must not be flattering. Relegating it to Zhengzhou Biejia is for the fifth rank, which is a little bit worse than the original governor who was lowered from the fourth rank.

Even so, Zhao Yuankai still thanked Ma Zhou in his heart, and realized more deeply that he is an organized person.

The current king of Wei is Henan Yin, and Zhao Yuankai himself can more or less be taken care of in Zhengzhou, and he may have a chance to be promoted in the future.

But if he was demoted to Kuozhou, then he might really die in Kuozhou.

And Ma Zhou knew that Zhao Yuankai was talented. When raising ducks with Li Tai, although he was busy, it is undeniable that Zhao Yuankai's contribution was quite large.

And he had practiced in Xiazhou for several years, and he was originally going to be dispatched to Sinong Temple, but later found that Zhao Yuankai was also talented in leading troops, otherwise he would not be allowed to be the governor of a state.

Normally speaking, people who are capable of writing and martial arts like this can dare to be extraordinary, and people who flatter their superiors should be doing well in any dynasty.

But he happened to come to the Zhenguan Dynasty, and the Zhenguan Dynasty paid attention to strength of character, uprightness, and direct remonstrance.

People like Zhao Yuankai who are habitually flattering their superiors can only be said to be born at the wrong time to live in such an era.

If he was in Xuanzong's reign, he might be Zhao Yuankai who replaced Li Linfu.

But the first step that King Wei stepped out of the Yue Palace was the opportunity that Zhao Yuankai facilitated. Now that Zhao Yuankai was forced to go to Kuozhou, as Wei Wang's party, he had to pull Zhao Yuankai anyway.

This is pure human affection, but no one can blame it.

As for how to deal with Zhao Yuankai in the future, it depends on Wei Wang's opinion.

If the king of Wei wants to use it, Ma Zhou can just stare at Zhao Yuankai. If the king of Wei doesn't use it, Zhengzhou is better than Kuozhou.

After all, Li Shimin could see Ma Zhou's thoughts.

Although Ma Zhou's work is generally dedicated to the public, but because of his background in the Wei Palace, many things involving Li Tai are biased against Li Tai.

These things are human nature, and Li Shimin can tolerate them.

After all, Ma Zhou used Wei Wangfu as a step to enter the court, but he turned his face and refused to recognize anyone with his back heel, so he would be taboo to use it!

So as long as it wasn't a matter of principle, Li Shimin would just turn a blind eye.

After all, Ma Zhou's behavior and handling of things are quite in line with his own temper, and Li Shimin is still very optimistic about Ma Zhou being an important minister from the grassroots all the way to the court.

And with the handling of this matter, the aftermath of the entire Gaochang is over.

Of course, when Li Shimin was dealing with the follow-up of the Gaochang incident, Li Tai's attention was on Yuhang Agricultural University, more precisely, on his tea.

Over the years, as the benefits of tea began to show, whether it is Youzhou or Xihaizhou, the desire for tea is almost like hunger and thirst.

But even though Li Tai had made arrangements in advance as much as possible, he still underestimated the demand for tea in the surrounding areas.

However, the land in Guangzhou cannot increase production in a short period of time. After all, Li Shimin is staring at the large amount of grain transported to Youzhou for storage, so the tea from Yuhang is his greatest expectation.

After all, Chu Suiliang did not let himself down. The tea from Yuhang began to flood into the big market of Luoyang.

Li Tai also consciously began to promote Yuhang green vegetables, no, it should be West Lake green tea.

The most important thing is to warm up for next year's Luoshui game. After all, whether West Lake green tea can make a name for itself is related to Chu Suiliang's own achievements.

For Chu Suiliang, his road has already been paved, and all that is missing is a chance to return to the court in an upright manner.

And this opportunity is next year's Luoshui game.

However, as the court straightened out Gaochang's affairs one by one, and when sorting out the court's tax revenue this year, Fang Xuanling's owl-like eyes suddenly discovered the skyrocketing taxes in Yuhang.

"Tea, is it so profitable?"
