I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 443 Xu Fenglei's attack!Bingfeng pointed directly at Hou Junji!
time.

The officials entered the Hall of Liangyi one after another, and before they could stand still, Li Shimin had already come up from the apse.

"See Your Majesty!"

"See Your Majesty..."

The ministers were all shocked and bowed their heads in salute.

"The court meeting hasn't started yet, you dear ladies, you can be more casual, be more casual."

Li Shimin waved his hands and said with a smile.

He was searching for something in the crowd, and suddenly found the target, his eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward.

"Listen, have you brought what I want?"

Li Er moved to Xu Fenglei's side and asked in a low voice.

Xu Fenglei: "..."

"It's just a bit of tobacco leaves. Your Majesty doesn't need this gesture, does he?"

He said speechlessly,
"It seems to be trading some illegal and dangerous goods..."

"Here."

Although he was complaining, his hands were unambiguous, and he had already opened the cloth bag in his arms.

A familiar smell entered Li Shimin's nostrils.

"Ha...it smells so good."

Li Shimin snatched the cloth bag, smiling happily,

"If I don't smell this day, my whole body will feel uncomfortable... My darling, how can I live without you."

Xu Fenglei: "@#￥%...&*#"

"Your Majesty, this is in the Hall of Yinyi, please pay attention to your image."

Pointing to the many ministers behind him, he reminded,
"Everyone is watching!"

When Li Shimin heard the words, he sneered and dismissed them.

"Just look at it, I think my smoking posture is very handsome! It doesn't hurt to let them appreciate it more!"

I saw him take out the fire pocket with ease, light the cigarette butt, take a quick puff, and then slowly spit it out.

The whole movement is smooth and smooth, with the style of an old smoker... I have to say, he is really handsome!

"Huh—beautiful! It's so beautiful!"

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes with enjoyment.

When he was not paying attention, a black figure rushed up and took a bite of the cigarette holder.

Li Er: "!!!"

"Hey! Where is the dog's head!"

He was taken aback, and when he saw that familiar big round head, he immediately got angry and kicked it!

"Jingde, you are going to die!"

The person who came was none other than Wei Chigong, a majestic seven-foot hunk!

However, Yu Chigong at this moment doesn't have the domineering aura of a macho man at all, on the contrary he is a bit cunning.

"Your Majesty, let the minister take a sip, just a sip..."

"It's been too long since I smoked, I'm really hungry!"

Yu Chigong was kicked violently by Li Shimin, but he had a hippie smile on his face. With that puff of smoke in his mouth, he felt as if he was about to ascend to heaven!

Taking another sip after a break for so long, it is simply "a little farewell is better than a newlywed"!

"You worthless!"

Li Shimin cursed angrily, the kick just now seemed not enough to relieve his anger, and another big flying kick came up!

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty..."

Yu Chigong hurriedly blocked his attack, begging for mercy,
"I'm wrong, I'm wrong..."

"The ministers are coming in one after another, you have to maintain your majesty..."

Li Shimin frowned.

The acquainted important ministers are all in place at this moment, and those who come in behind are all ministers of the fourth and fifth ranks of the imperial court...

In front of these courtiers who are not too familiar and who are at a certain distance, he still has to maintain the emperor's demeanor.

"See how I will whip you later!"

Li Er gave Yu Chigong a vicious look, and spat.

When he looked at the wet cigarette again, his eyes were already full of disgust.

"...stained by your saliva, I don't want it anymore!"

"You remember! Next time you dare to grab something from my mouth, I will cut your tongue!"

He threw the cigarette in his hand to Yu Chigong with a displeased face, and turned to leave.

"Yes! Yes... Thank you, Your Majesty, hehe, hehehe..."

When Yuchi Gong got the cigarette, he immediately burst into joy, holding it in his hands like a treasure, that look, he was even happier than getting a carload of gold!

"Old Hei, what on earth is this thing that makes you so obsessed?"

Cheng Yaojin poked his head up, and was about to grab it, but was hit hard by Yu Chigong's elbow!

"Get out of here! I'm in a hurry with you if you come up again!"

At this moment, Yu Chigong is almost like an old hen guarding the chicks, and Cheng Yaojin is speechless——

This old black...as for?

While he was speechless, his curiosity was completely aroused.

……

Inside the Hall of Liangyi, there was a faint smog, and several ministers couldn't get used to the smell, so they couldn't help coughing lightly.

Li Shimin finished smoking the second cigarette, threw the butt on the ground, stamped it out with his toes, and then took a light breath——

Deng, Deng, Deng.

Step up the golden steps and board the dragon chair.

"Long live my emperor!"

The officials bowed and shouted long live.

"Everyone who loves you is free from courtesy, and you are flat."

Li Shimin slightly raised his hand, looked down, and said calmly,

"Today's grand court meeting, if the families of the nobles have something to play, they can all speak freely."

Fang Xuanling raised his legs and stepped out.

"Your Majesty, the right servant shoots Du Ruhui and presents a thank you memorial, thanking Your Majesty for the marriage."

He said loudly,

"You Servant also wants to bring his son into the palace in person, thank you for your grace, please allow His Majesty."

All the ministers were more or less envious when they heard the words.

What kind of honor and favor is it to form a family with the emperor?
Especially since Du He is only Du Ruhui's second son, not the eldest son, this honor is even greater!

Think about the future development of the Du family - the eldest son who cultivated with care goes on in his official career, and the second son who is tolerant and free will marry the princess and become a relative of the emperor...

How is this not enviable?
"no no."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said with a smile,

"It's important for Du Aiqing to take good care of her health, and she must not move around too much! I'm ready to enter the palace to thank you, but it's fine to ask Du He to thank you, he doesn't need to come."

"In addition, give Du Aiqing five old ginseng and ten ganoderma lucidum, tell him to nourish and nourish, and ask me for it after eating! How I hope he can recover as soon as possible and return to court... Without Du Aiqing, this The court hall has lost its color a lot!"

After all, he actually sighed somewhat sadly.

"According to the order, I will shoot on behalf of the right servant to thank Your Majesty for your kindness." Fang Xuanling made a long bow and returned to the queue.

"Your Majesty, I have the original play."

The chubby Tang Jian squeezed up from behind and reported,

"Since the Great Tang eradicated the Turks, all the barbarian tribes have surrendered, and Your Majesty is the Khan of Heaven! Since then, almost every month, scattered small foreign countries have submitted their credentials, pleading to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. These tribes all expressed :"

"If they can be ruled by Tian Khan, they will be grateful and pay tribute every year!"

"The attitude of the small foreign countries is sincere, and the minister dare not make arbitrarily arbitrarily asserted opinions. Your Majesty asks for a ruling."

After some words, there were whispers in the court hall.

"The barbarians from abroad actually voluntarily surrendered? This is the first time in history!"

"Hey, what's so strange about this? Now His Majesty is the Khan of the Heaven! Not only our Majesty, but also the leader of all the barbarians! The world has one heart! Is it normal for a small country to come to join us?"

"So, the territory of my Great Tang is already extremely vast?"

"That's natural! You haven't heard the old saying in Chang'an - from then on, go west to Anxi for nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine miles!"

"..."

The courtiers' comments fell into Li Shimin's ears, which made him a little proud!

"Once upon a time, Cao Cao had a poem that said, "Duke Zhou vomits and feeds, and the world returns to his heart. I don't know how I compare with Duke Zhou?"

Li Er asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty surpasses the three emperors in virtue and surpasses the five emperors! Unmatched by Duke Zhou!"

Congratulations to all the ministers.

"Hahahaha... Zhuqing's reputation is too high, too much!"

Li Shimin laughed heartily and said,
"I don't dare to compare with the ancient holy emperor. I am already satisfied to be able to stand up to Duke Zhou."

"Tang Qing!"

"The minister is here." Tang Jian cupped his hands again.

"You reply to those small countries outside the country. Anyone who wants to be a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty will be accepted, and anyone who comes will not be rejected!"

Li Shimin said calmly,

"From now on, they are all my people!"

Rule the world with one person!

Even the barbarians who are thousands of miles away must face the east and respectfully bow to those who live in Chang'an City, saying long live!
How heroic is this?

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Tang Jian returned to the queue in response, and then the ministers took turns to go into battle;
"Your Majesty, I have the original play."

"Your Majesty, I also have a request..."

"His Majesty……"

Li Shimin was in a good mood today and gave a verdict on everything.

After more than half an hour, all the ministers were satisfied, and no one came out.

"what--"

Li Er yawned and winked at the eunuch beside him.

It is quite tiring to hold the court meeting, but the good thing is that after the ceremony, he can steal half a day of leisure, and he can spend time with his wife and children, stroll around the imperial garden and so on.

At this moment, he already thought of retreating to play.

"Please play if you have anything to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do."

The eunuch shouted.

The courtiers also began to straighten their sleeves, preparing to leave.

But at this moment, a figure came out.

"Qizou Your Majesty, minister, there is a copy!"

Swish.

Several eyes turned, all looking at one person!
Li Shimin was also a little surprised.

"Xu Aiqing? It's rare to see you have an invitation..."

He changed his posture on the dragon chair, and said with great interest,
"What's the matter with you?"

Xu Fenglei looked calm, and took out a book from his sleeve.

"Return to Your Majesty, to be precise, the minister is not asking for a petition, but impeaching a person!"

He said in a low voice,

"A person who makes waves in the court and corrupts Tsunaki!"

Everyone: "?!"

Li Shimin: "?!"

"Oh? You want impeachment?"

Li Er immediately sat upright, frowned and said,

"Impeach whom?"

Xu Fenglei's move really caught him off guard.

This kid... didn't show it at all before!

"There is a man who is greedy for profit and covets thousands of taels of military salary, so that the soldiers in the army cannot get the rewards and awards they deserve!"

"There was a man who was so bold that he stretched out his black hands to the military equipment. In just two years, he stole and sold off the state's public property, enriched his pockets, and embezzled tens of thousands of taels of money!"

"There is one person who is insane! He even dared to get involved in key national projects, cut corners, cut wages, ignored education plans, and robbed nearly ten thousand taels of project funds!"

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, how should such a person be dealt with!"

Li Shimin: "!!!"

The ministers: "!!!"

As soon as this remark came out, it could be said to be earth-shattering, and the entire Hall of Liangyi was in an uproar!
"Who is this? This is too bold!"

"Is there really such a moth in the court? No way..."

"Since the grand master dared to speak out in front of the audience, he must rely on something. This person must exist among us... who could it be?"

"Damn it, this person really deserves to die! There are so many corruptions!"

"..."

All of a sudden, discussions arose!Li Shimin's complexion was also ugly to the naked eye.

With a gloomy face, he asked in a low voice:

"The person you're talking about...he, who is it?"

"Tell me!"

The three words flew out of his mouth, and it turned into a loud shout, which shocked the hearts of all the officials!
Li Shimin's gaze roamed the hall, examining everyone present——

It must not be a small fish or shrimp who can embezzle to this magnitude, he must be among this group of courtiers!

Suddenly, his eyes caught a person——

The man's face was a little pale.

"Go back to Your Majesty!"

Xu Fenglei turned around, pointed at one of the generals in the queue, and said loudly,

"I don't beat around the bush, this person is General Youwei, Lord Junji of Lu Kingdom!"

His gaze was like a blade, sweeping towards Hou Junji.

"Hou Junji, you can plead guilty!"

Swish swish!
The eyes of the audience were all focused on Hou Junji at this moment!

Everyone has different expressions, some are shocked, some are puzzled, some are angry, and some are contemptuous!

Being stared at by so many people, including the emperor, Hou Jun felt like a thorn in his back, and his heart was in a mess!There were already fine beads of sweat on his forehead!

But as a military commander, he calmed down quickly after many battles.

"Master!"

Hou Junji suddenly raised his head to look at Xu Fenglei, and said sharply,

"I have no grievances with you, why are you spitting blood!"

"I, Hou Junji, have never embezzled a large amount of money from the court!"

Xu Fenglei sneered.

"Dare to die, the duck has a hard mouth!"

He opened the book in his hand, shook it in front of Hou Junji's eyes, and said coldly,

"Remember Zhao Yi? Your former groom."

"Here is his statement. After my retrial, he has already recruited them all!"

"The black hand behind it is you!"

Whoa!
Xu Fenglei turned around, put his hands up, and said:

"Your Majesty, please watch!"

Li Shimin's face was cloudy and uncertain, he stared at Hou Junji for a long time, and then said in a deep voice:

"Bring it up."

The eunuch quickly stepped forward and handed over the confession.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Shimin watched word by word, the more he looked, the more ugly his face became.

"Zhao Yi withheld food and wages, but it was just over 1000 taels of silver. What he really embezzled was iron materials. There were more than 9000 taels, nearly 1 taels!"

Xu Fenglei said loudly,

"Gentlemen, 1 taels! Do you know how he operates?"

"He used to be the head of the Armory Department of the Ministry of War. In the past few years, under the order of Hou Junji, he secretly embezzled a large number of old weapons and armor, melted them into iron, and then sold them on the black market for profit!"

"And when the construction of the Chang'an Academy started, he focused on the project funds and used his position to purchase iron at a high price! And what he purchased was exactly what he had embezzled from the Hyogo Division and had not yet been sold!"

"Stealing things from the Ministry of War, and then selling them to the Ministry of Industry at a high price! I am profiting from both ends, and easily earn money that ordinary people can't earn in a lifetime. Tsk tsk... a good method, a really good method!"

"Hou Junji, tell me, is this a good way?"

These words made the ministers dumbfounded.

Hey, is there such an operation?

I really learned a lot today!
