I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 444 The ironclad evidence is so strong that Hou Junji breaks into the sky prison!Xu Fenglei's 'Forcing Palace'!
Li Shimin stared at the confession, his fists clenched.

"I do not know what you're talking about!"

Hou Junji's face was cold, and he said angrily,

"Zhao Yi is Zhao Yi, I am me! What does it matter to me if he embezzles money? Just because he was my subordinate, you pour dirty water on me?"

"Xu Fenglei, your deduction is too ridiculous!"

Now that his face has been torn apart, he doesn't need to call the other party "Grand Master" any more, just call him by his first name, and have a passionate match!
"Ridiculous? Hou Junji, you really don't cry when you see the coffin!"

Xu Fenglei came prepared today, how could he be afraid that he would mess around?

He took out another piece of paper from his sleeve and said with a sneer,
"On this is your corruption deeds since the ninth year of Wude! The names of those subordinates who you use as tools to make money are all on this piece of paper. Would you like me to read it to you?"

Hou Junji's expression changed suddenly.

Before he had time to speak, Xu Fenglei had already read out:

"In the first year of Zhenguan, after His Majesty ascended the throne, he rewarded the guards in the capital. The right guard was rewarded with 5000 taels of silver taels, half of which was privately swallowed up by your Zhonglang Zhang Cong, of which 500 taels were enjoyed by him, and the remaining 2000 taels were given to you as a filial piety. !"

"Afterwards, the army of the capital fought against the invasion of Turkic Jieli Khan and won the battle to defend Chang'an! His Majesty rewarded the three armies again in the second year of Zhenguan. The right guard contributed a lot this time, and was allocated 8000 taels! And you, your Majesty, is already thick In the case of rewards, I still extended my black hand to the rewards of the soldiers, tsk tsk... I have to say, it is really sad to be a soldier under your command."

"Three years of Zhenguan! You were promoted to the Ministry of War, and you are very happy, because the Ministry of War has a lot of money to earn! In the Ministry of War, you vigorously cultivated your cronies to serve as your gloves, amassing money, and the income was as high as ten thousand taels! The country's assets You sold it off and got it into your own pocket!"

"Three years of Zhenguan..."

"..."

Xu Fenglei read one by one, and every time he read one, Hou Junji's face became paler.

By the end of the reading, his face was pale and his lips were trembling.

At this moment, he felt a great sense of uneasiness that someone would see through his underwear!This anxiety quickly turned into fear!
At the same time, the surrounding officials looked at him with shock and contempt.

I am shocked that Hou Junji is so bold, and there are so many serious crimes of corruption!

Contempt, of course, is to despise such treacherous ministers who oppressed their subordinates and sold off state assets!

As we all know, the atmosphere of the Zhenguan Dynasty was good, and the court was clean from top to bottom, so they hated such corrupt officials even more!

"Hou Junji, did you really do these beastly things?"

Yu Chigong stepped forward and asked angrily,
"You have to embezzle the military pay of the brothers? Are you still human?"

"Beast, you! Pigs and dogs are not as good as you!"

Hou Junji's face turned blue and red, unable to respond in the slightest.

And his posture is more like confirming Xu Fenglei's impeachment - he really did those nasty things!

"Damn you, damn you!"

Cheng Yaojin also stood up and shouted loudly,
"Thousands of taels of silver, how many taels are divided into the hands of each soldier? You have to deduct it! If I were a soldier under your command, I would be the first to cut you off!"

These two were the ones who dared to argue with the imperial household department in order to ask for military pay for the soldiers!
In their eyes, those who withhold military pay are the most abominable and damned!
"I don't need to investigate in detail what I said. You just need to ask a few soldiers of the right guard to know."

Xu Fenglei stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice,

"For the accounts of the Ministry of War, you only need to ask the Hyogo Division to check and settle them, and you can find out how much has been missing over the years."

"As for our Ministry of Industry, we have already done a check. Yan Lide, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, has already made an account. If necessary, you can hand it in at any time!"

"To sum up, the order is clear, and the evidence is as solid as a mountain!"

"Hou Junji, do you still want to deny it?"

Hou Junji lowered his head, no matter how determined he was, under Xu Fenglei's indiscriminate bombardment, he had already lost his mind!
"According to the "Law of Zhenguan", one foot and one hundred sticks of stolen silk are perverted, and one horse is added to the first class, and fifteen horses are twisted!"

Xu Fenglei turned his head to look at Li Shimin, and said loudly,

"The crime committed by Hou Junji is a thousand times more than that of the 'Fifteen Pieces' of silk! He should be sentenced to death!"

"Your Majesty, please imprison Hou Junji immediately, find out all the facts of his crimes, and then declare the canonical punishment!"

Whoa!
After the words fell, he already made a long bow and bowed to the emperor!

At this moment, the entire Hall of Liangyi was terribly quiet, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Shimin, even Hou Junji suddenly raised his head and looked at the emperor.

That gaze, as if a person who fell into the water is looking at a life-saving straw!

Pfft!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Hou Junji fell to his knees and said in a trembling voice,
"I haven't done it, I haven't done it!"

"Your Majesty, please trust me, please learn from me!"

He knew that he couldn't stand the investigation!

As long as the emperor files a case for investigation, all the dirty and scandalous things he has done behind his back all these years will be investigated. At that time, not only he will die, but his family and former ministry will also be implicated!

Therefore, he can only hope that the emperor will reminisce about the old love in the past, and make a mess, and not delve into this matter.

Li Shimin on the dragon chair, the veins on his forehead popped out.

"...Needless to say."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said indifferently,
"Come here, send Hou Junji to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Dengdeng!

The two imperial guards entered the hall in response and set up Hou Junji.

"Your Majesty! The minister never did it! It was Xu Fenglei who spurted blood! He was the one who slandered!"

"Your Majesty! I have shed blood for Great Tang, and I have made meritorious service for Great Tang! You can't listen to his one-sided words, and you can't do this to a hero, Your Majesty!"

Hou Junji struggled with all his might, yelling loudly, his voice hoarse.

Li Shimin's fingers firmly grasped the handle of the dragon chair.

"……take away!"

Dragged by the guards, the hysterical Hou Junji was taken out of the Hall of Liangyi.

His shouting gradually weakened.

The entire hall fell into dead silence again.

The low air pressure released by the emperor made all the ministers afraid to speak out, not even to move.

Even Wei Zheng lowered his head at this moment, not saying a word.

Because they know - the emperor is now a volcano, already on the verge of eruption!
And at this moment, someone was going to throw a bomb into the crater.

"Your Majesty, Shengming!"

Xu Fenglei saluted again, bowed and shouted,
"Hou Junji is really a moth of the imperial court, endangering the country! If this dog is not eradicated, we will not be able to be clean and upright for a day!"

"Only by rectifying him on the spot can we deter treacherous ministers and villains in the world, and make all cunning villains dare not be greedy and corrupt!"

His voice echoed in the hall, and the lingering sound lingered for a long time.

Li Shimin's gaze also fell on him, and the coldness in his eyes remained undiminished.

"Xu Aiqing, you have worked so hard to give me such a great gift. If it weren't for you, I would have been kept in the dark."

He said lightly,
"Let's sort it out."

Although the words contained some praise, the tone did not have the slightest meaning of praise.

"Yes." Xu Fenglei didn't take it seriously, and walked back into the queue with his head held high.

"Dai Zhou, Li Jing."

Li Shimin shouted.

"The minister is here."

Two people came out.

"The case of Hou Junji, Dai Zhou, you are in charge of the investigation and trial, and the Censor of the Ministry of Criminal Justice will handle the case together."

Li Shimin ordered.

"According to the order."

Dai Zhou accepted the order and couldn't help but glance at Xu Fenglei.

Good guy!
It turns out that the grand master is really playing a big game of chess!The retrial of Zhao Yi's case was actually for Hou Junji, the mastermind behind the scenes!

Convinced, now he is completely convinced!

"Li Jing, you are in charge of the Ministry of War. If something like this happens, you must bear the blame."

Li Shimin looked at Li Jing who bowed his head, and said lightly,
"Check out the accounts of the Ministry of War. All the omissions and smuggling must not be left behind. After sorting out, send it to Dali Temple. There must be no mistakes."

"I'm guilty of the crime, and I'll accept the order." Li Jing responded sullenly.

wow.

Li Shimin got up slowly and went down the golden steps, glanced at the officials, and spit out a few words:

"Tired."

"Retreat."

After all, he had already left in a flick of his sleeves, leaving only the officials standing there, staring wide-eyed.

"Your Majesty this is..."

"Hey! Your Majesty must feel very uncomfortable when something like this happened. The Grand Master has made a big hole this time!"

"Hmph! Well done! Moths like Hou Junji should be cleared out of the queue! We can't let this mouse poop spoil our good porridge!"

"That's right..."

"..."

The ministers left one after another, discussing in twos and threes.

This matter can definitely be called big news, there is no way not to talk about it!It is estimated that within two days, everyone in Chang'an will know about this shocking embezzlement case!

Xu Fenglei raised his foot and crossed the threshold, but was blocked by a person.

"Master..."

Changsun Wuji looked at him and said helplessly,
"You're making a fuss, and it's too big! There's no need for you to shout out this kind of scandal at the court meeting!"

"Your Majesty's face just now... can't hold back, he must be very angry, but not only because of Hou Junji's corruption, you understand what I mean?"

"Your behavior is almost catching up with the forced palace!"

Xu Fenglei shrugged.

"This is what I want! If I don't poke it out at the court meeting and force the emperor, then I will definitely not get the result I want in this matter."

He kept saying nonsense,
"I didn't do anything wrong. It's his business that the emperor is unhappy. Even if he is angry with me, I don't care."

"It's a big deal to resign from office and go back to seclusion. Anyway, I'm still alone now."

Changsun Wuji was right, he was forcing Li Shimin!

Under the eyes of everyone, there is another ironclad evidence!
Li Shimin has no other way to go, no matter how unwilling he is, and no matter how unwilling he is to be accused of "prisoning a hero", he can only give orders!Otherwise, he is an absurd fool!

Whoever is Li Shimin will be upset.

But Xu Fenglei didn't care.

Anyway, he is alone and capable, so he can make a living anywhere, and at worst he will be left out in the cold by the emperor and return to the mountains.

But no matter what, Hou Junji must be defeated!
This is the price of touching his bottom line!

"You, you...you are so ruthless, alas!"

Changsun Wuji smiled wryly,
"To be honest, I'm a little afraid of you now. If I accidentally offend you one day, I'm afraid I'll be doomed."

He had seen Xu Fenglei's tricks.

After gaining momentum, Thunder made a move, killing with one blow!

No one can stop it, not even the emperor!

It's chilling...

"Hey."

Xu Fenglei grinned and said,

"I don't have so much time to be a righteous guard. In fact, I have always been kind to others, and what I uphold is just a very simple idea——"

"People don't offend me, I don't offend anyone."

"If someone offends me, give me a needle!"

"If you offend me again, cut the grass and root out!"

"Hou Junji stretched his dirty hand into my pocket. I just gave him an injection, and I haven't reached the point of cutting grass and roots. How can it be called ruthless?"

Changsun Wuji: "..."

This needle can kill a person!
Poisonous bees have needles on their tails, right?
"I know, you won't touch my bottom line, because relatively speaking, my bottom line is really low."

Xu Fenglei patted Changsun Wuji on the shoulder, and said with a smile,

"gone."

After all, he has drifted away.

"This is really... hey!"

Changsun Wuji stared at Xu Fenglei's back, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing,

"I'd better be careful, don't mess with him in this life..."

……

Chang'an, Duke Xu's mansion.

The seven maidservants stood in front of Xu Fenglei, listening to the lecture.

"From today, close the door of the house and reduce all going out."

Xu Fenglei ordered,

"No matter who comes, it will not be seen."

"If someone asks, they will say that I am sick, and I am lying at home and cannot see guests."

"Do you understand everything?"

The seven maidservants were all shocked when they heard the words.

"Sir, what...what's the matter?"

The purple maid couldn't help but asked,
"What happened?"

The other six people also showed concern on their faces.

This posture... seems to be hiding from disaster!

But the question is, who in the entire Tang Dynasty can let her husband avoid him?

"nothing."

Xu Fenglei smiled, waved his hands and said,
"Recently, I have felt something in my heart. I feel that I may have a calamity for a while. I can't go out, I can't meet guests, and I can only live at home."

"Historically, the only way to avoid disasters is to study behind closed doors. Therefore, from today onwards, I will study behind closed doors to cultivate my sentiments."

Hearing this answer, the maidservants breathed a sigh of relief.

"So it is."

The maidservant laughed,

"It turns out that reading can avoid disasters. No wonder my life was rough in the past. It's because I didn't read enough books!"

"Sir, during the time when the door is closed, shall we study with you?"

The rest of the girls said again and again:
"Yes, yes, we also need to read more books to cultivate our sentiments!"

Seeing them yelling, Xu Fenglei couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, okay, girls should read more books, this can improve your temperament."

He nodded and said,

"The so-called poetic and scholarly spirit, after you are full of knowledge, no matter who comes, you will not dare to underestimate you!"

Reading can change your destiny!
This is not empty talk, but a wise saying that is recognized by the "Book of Changes"!

……

bang bang bang!
Under Xu Fenglei's instruction, the door of Xu Guogong's mansion was tightly closed, and the concierge also withdrew into the mansion.

From today, thank you behind closed doors!
