Datang: Starting from a fortune-telling stall, Wu Zetian was suddenly abducted

Chapter 77

Helan Chushi pretended to be depressed and said: "Seeing that my father is giving me a reward, the child is naturally happy."

"I just hate that I didn't go on the expedition with my father and gain fame."

After hearing this, Ye Hongzhuang quickly spoke to comfort him: "Brother Helan, if you serve in the East Palace and follow the prince, your future will be great."

"No more rough than us bosses. All these achievements are earned at the expense of our heads."

After hearing this, the drunk Hou Junji waved his hand and said:

"Chu Shi, add your name. You serve with the crown prince. Only with meritorious deeds can you get a better promotion."

Helan Chushi was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly stepped forward to take the list and seriously added his name to it.

When Hou Junji and other family members saw this, they also stepped forward to ask for rewards.

Hou Junji nodded repeatedly, pointed at everyone in the hall and said, "Chu Shi, if there is one here, please write them all down for me."

Helan Chushi obeyed and obeyed. When he was writing to the end, his heart suddenly moved.

The veteran guarding the gate of his father's house is also a distant relative of his.

He and I usually move around a lot, and I have told him several times that I want him to have a certain origin.

You must not miss such a good opportunity today.

Thinking of this, he happily added the concierge's name.

After finishing writing, he carefully dried the ink stains, handed the list to Hou Junji, and said respectfully: "Father, the list is written, please review it."

Without even looking at it, Hou Junji put the list in his arms, stood up, and said to everyone:

"You guys sit here for a while, and I will go to His Majesty to ask for your title now."

After speaking, he walked out step by step.

Li Shimin was watching the memorial in Yanying Hall.

Seeing a stack of memorials with a thickness of three feet on the table, Li Shimin frowned helplessly and started flipping through them.

After a short while, I came across Wei Zheng's memorial.

The more he looked at it, the angrier his expression became. Finally, he threw the memorial to the ground and shouted angrily:
"You Wei Tietou, you dare to insult me ​​as a foolish king, you really think I don't dare to kill you."

Ding Yu, who was serving next to him, was also startled and said: Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down.

He carefully ran over, picked up the memorial, and put it on the corner of the table.

Li Shimin was still angry and said angrily: "Ding Yu, look at that memorial. Give me a review. Why does Wei Tietou call me a foolish king?"

Ding Yu then took the memorial and grinned while reading it.

I beg you, this Wei Tietou really dares to say that. Fortunately, it is Tietou, otherwise many heads would have been chopped off.

It turns out that Wei Zheng directly compared Li Shimin to King You of Zhou in history regarding Li Shimin's collection of rewards for Hou Jun.

During the reign of King You this week, he appointed Guo Shifu as a minister to be in charge of political affairs.

Guo Shi's father was treacherous, obedient, good at flattery, and greedy for wealth, but King Zhou You used him very seriously, so many people privately said that he was a foolish king.

Li Shimin has always cherished his reputation very much. With Wei Zheng's metaphor, it is no wonder that he is so angry.

However, Ding Yu knew about Li Shimin's arrangement, so he considered it and advised: "Your Majesty, Shizhong Wei does not understand the inside story."

"Your lord has a lot, just don't worry about him."

Li Shimin just sat there thinking about his luck, snoring coldly.

"My lord has a lot, why should I want you to have a lot!"

At this moment, the guard at the door reported that Hou Jun gathered to see him.

Li Shimin was a little surprised. He had just finished awarding the prize, so why did it happen again?
Then he asked the guards to call Hou Junji in.

Hou Junji staggered in, and when he was not far from the dragon case, Li Shimin smelled the pungent smell of alcohol.

He felt a little unhappy, but after thinking about it, today was Hou Junji's big day, and it was normal to drink some wine, so he felt relieved.

Then he asked: "Jun Ji, you came to me drunk, what's the urgent matter?"

Hou Junji let out a burp of wine and said with a flushed face:
"Your Majesty, I am very satisfied with the reward you gave me."

"However, you made a mistake. You gave the soldiers a little less rewards, and now everyone is complaining."

"No, I've drawn up a new list, and you can reward me again."

After saying that, without Li Shimin's opinion, he handed over the list directly.

Li Shimin immediately understood what was going on, and said with a cold face: "How can it be less?"

"Those were verified by the Ministry of Household Affairs and submitted to me and the Central Secretariat of China for review and approval." Hou Junji, who had drunk too much, didn't pay attention to Li Shimin's face at all and continued to ramble to himself:
"It's less. Compared with my reward, what they got is indeed too little."

"Besides, wouldn't the little things they harvested on the battlefield be confiscated by His Majesty in the end?"

Ding Yu, who was standing next to him, turned pale with fright and thought to himself: You, Hou Junji, are going to die. It would be magnanimous for His Majesty not to hold him accountable for corruption.Instead, you dared to raise it openly.

He thought Li Shimin would be furious, but it turned out that Li Shimin just had no expression on his face and directly signed the list and handed it to him.

"Ding Yu, since Marquis Gao Chang has brought it up, I will agree to it."

"Go and take it to the Ministry of Education and let them handle it as soon as possible."

Hou Junji stood there, staring at Li Shimin's arrangements, and saw that he had already made arrangements.

I couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and then I remembered that I hadn't saluted yet, so I quickly turned over and knelt down, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin suppressed his displeasure and said to him: "Honor Gaochang, the matter has been settled. You can go back and rest."

Hou Junji ignored him and continued to kneel there and babble.

Ding Yu had already noticed Li Shimin's displeasure, and quickly called the guards at the door, half pulling and half escorting Hou Junji out.

Hou Junji returned home feeling dizzy all the way. At this moment, everyone in Helan Chushi was looking forward to it. When they saw Hou Junji coming back, they all stepped forward to ask about the result.

Hou Junji patted his chest and said, "It's all done. I saw your Majesty signing the list with my own eyes, and then handed it over to the Zhongshu Province."

Everyone felt relieved and naturally had another carnival.

The next day, after Hou Junji sobered up, his reckless behavior suddenly sounded out, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

I had the intention to go to the palace to apologize, but after thinking about it, I realized that this bullshit had been blown away and His Majesty had approved it. If I went to the palace to apologize, I would get the list back.

What do the people below think of me?Where do you put your face?
After thinking about it, I was a little undecided for a while.

Then he brought Helan Chushi over and asked him to think of a solution for him.

Naturally, Helan Chushi would not tell Hou Junji what he did yesterday.

Seeing how hesitant he was, he suddenly had an idea and said:
"Father, since you're so worried, why don't you find someone to do the fortune telling."

"If it is a serious crime, you should go to the palace now to plead guilty."

"If it's Daji, just ignore this matter."

After hearing this, Hou Junji praised him repeatedly and asked where such an expert could be found.

Helan Chushi knew that he had nothing to do with Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang.

You might want to recommend Yuan Shouwei to him, knowing that he and Yuan Shouwei broke up on bad terms last time.

After thinking again and again, he said: "Father, Xuandu Temple is the largest temple in our Chang'an."

"There are many enlightened immortals among them, why don't I invite one over?"

Hou Junji was very satisfied with his recommendation and asked him to go quickly.He repeatedly warned that it must be well-known, and as long as the calculation is good, money is not an issue.

About an hour later, Helan Chushi walked in with a middle-aged Taoist wearing Taoist robes and Taoist immortal bones.

He introduced to Hou Junji: "Father, this Taoist priest Zhongqing is a disciple of the Quanzhen sect. He has just come to Chang'an not long ago. He is the junior disciple of Xuandu Guanzhang Zhongwen."

"The divination ability is only better than that of Li and Yuan. There are many officials and rich people who come to him for divination."

The Taoist waved the fly whisk in his hand and said to Hou Junji: "I have seen Gao Changhou before, a poor Taoist."

Hou Junji was happy to see that he was already three points older. Now he heard Helan Chushi's introduction and felt very satisfied.

He waved his hand at Zhongqing and said carelessly:

"Master Taoist, don't be too polite. Please calculate my future."

The Taoist nodded slightly, took out a hexagram tube made of ebony from his pocket, and put it in front of Hou Junji.

"I also invite Marquis Gao Chang to come and ask for hexagrams in person."

Hou Junji then stood up, took the divination tube solemnly, and began to shake it.

As he shook, the ebony hanging tag in the hexagram tube began to sway up and down.

A moment later, with a 'pop' sound, a heavy hanging sign fell on the table.

Hou Junji couldn't help but become nervous at this time. He carefully picked up the tag and handed it to Zhongqing.
"Please ask the Taoist priest to sign."

Zhongqing also took the hexagram with both hands and read it out softly.

【Sacrifice to the natural spirit sincerely, meat and fish will bring good luck.Take risks and achieve great things.Asking for profit and happiness. 】

After reading it, he looked at Hou Junji with a smile on his face and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Hou, congratulations, Mr. Hou, this is your signature."
