Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 160 How to deal with it
"Since you all have no objections, there is a Zhongshu order to play the chapter early. You and the widow will jointly play the matter of the Hou Junji. What do you think?" Li Chengqian said.

"Follow Your Highness's order!" Everyone hastily expressed their opinions, and the prince even said that they would join hands!They are naturally willing to do so.

"Okay! Zhongshu ordered you to draft the memorial!" Li Chengqian said to Yang Shidao.

"Promise!" Yang Shidao took the order, and Wang Quan immediately went down to bring the prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and brought Yang Shidao a table for him to draft a memorial.

After Yang Shidao finished writing and everyone confirmed that it was correct, the crown prince Li Chengqian signed it first, and then it was Fang Xuanling's turn to sign the memorial.

In this way, a joint memorial is complete!
"Immediately ask the people at the post station to hurry up! Send it to Liaodong, and hand it over to the emperor. Everything depends on the order." Li Chengqian put the memorial into a rectangular box, sealed it, and handed it to Wang Quan.

"Promise!" Wang Quan took the sealed memorial, immediately trotted out, went straight out of the palace, and delivered the secret memorial as quickly as possible.

In Chang'an City, a steed galloped towards the distant Liaodong.

After several days of uninterrupted delivery, the secret book was finally delivered to Li Er in the morning.

Li Er frowned, unwrapped the sealed sealant, opened the box, and took out the memorial from inside to look through.

Seeing the contents of the memorial, Li Er's expression was shocked at first, followed by disbelief, and finally replaced by anger.

Inside the big tent, the generals saw the emperor's changing expression several times, they were puzzled, but they were like cats scratching their hearts, wondering what was written on the secret book sent by Chang'an?
He was able to make His Majesty Li Er, who has always been calm in the world, change so many expressions on his face.

This is almost catching up with the expression pack!
"Today's military meeting is cancelled! You all should step down first!" Without waiting for the generals to ask, Li Er said that he was in a bad mood now.

"Promise!" Looking at His Majesty Li Er with a bad face, the generals did not dare to say anything, and immediately got up and saluted and exited the big tent.

Before Changsun Wuji walked out of the big tent, he stopped, glanced at Li Er, turned around and was about to leave, but Li Er's voice came from behind him.

"Auxiliary machine!"

Changsun Wuji turned around and looked at Li Erdao: "Your Majesty! You look angry, but what happened to Chang'an?"

"This is the memorabilia jointly signed by Cheng Qian, Fang Xuanling, Yang Shidao, Gao Shilian and others, you can see for yourself!" Li Er sighed and handed the memoir to Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji stepped forward to receive the memorial, and took it to browse through, but was also shocked by the content above and speechless.

"Hou Junji actually rebelled and committed suicide at home in fear of crime! Why did he do this? He is a hero who has made great military exploits for the Great Tang."

"It's really hard to believe that this is true. He has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty, you have made him one of the 24 heroes in Lingyan Pavilion. It is such a great honor."

"What is he dissatisfied with, Hou Junji? May I ask how many people in Datang have such an honor like him, why does he still want to rebel?" Changsun Wuji said, he really couldn't figure out why Hou Junji was so stupid and insisted on doing it Conspiracy, this heinous crime.

Li Er also wanted to know why, and even wanted to ask Hou Junji face to face, why he wanted to rebel.

He, Hou Junji, has made a lot of contributions to the Tang Dynasty, how can he treat him badly, Hou Junji?

Unfortunately!Li Er no longer had the opportunity to ask Hou Junji why, because Hou Junji had already gone to the underworld.

Whether or not Hou Junji really rebelled is not important now. In any case, Hou Junji's suicide has proved that he committed suicide in fear of crime.

"What should we do now? Your Majesty, what do you plan to do?" Changsun Wuji asked.

The question now is not why Hou Junji rebelled, but how to deal with this matter?

"Hou Junji is dead! What else can I do? I'm getting old and my heart has softened! Since Hou Junji committed suicide in fear of crime, let's expose this matter and don't hold him accountable anymore!" Li Er said.

"What about Hou Junji's family members? You can no longer pursue Hou Junji's crimes, but according to the laws of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, for crimes of treason and treason, father and son who are 16 years old shall be executed according to the law."

"You have to think about this matter. If you don't handle it well, it will cause criticism from others." Changsun Wuji said.

"Why am I afraid of being criticized by others!" Li Er said angrily at his eldest grandson Wuji.

"Even if you are not afraid of criticism from others, you can't ignore the law. As an emperor, you should set an example for all the subjects in the world." Changsun Wuji said.

"Let me think about it again." Li Er suppressed the anger in his heart and said.

Changsun Wuji no longer urged Li Er, after all, Hou Junji was Li Er's confidant and favorite general, and he was also a great contributor to the change of Xuanwu Gate.

It is also reasonable for Li Eryi to be unable to make a choice at the moment, which is why Li Chengqian insisted on Hou Junji committing suicide and apologizing.

If Hou Junji is not dead, Li Er will definitely send someone to try the case again, and at that time, he, the crown prince, will definitely be implicated.

Don't look at him now that he is firmly seated as the crown prince!But once he is hooked on the charge of treason, his career as a crown prince will be over!

The only thing waiting for him is to be deposed and exiled. This is the last situation Li Chengqian wants to see.

Under such circumstances, he did not want to be abolished, so he had to follow the example of His Majesty Li Er back then, launching a coup and taking the opportunity to ascend to the throne of the emperor.

It's not that Li Chengqian hasn't thought about this issue, but for the current Li Chengqian, the coup d'état is still very risky and the chance of success is not high.

What's more, as long as Hou Junji died, the crisis for the crown prince would be resolved, and there was no need to take high risks to take power in a coup.

"If you were Zhen, what would you do?" After a long time, Li Er's first sentence was to ask Changsun Wuji, what would Changsun Wuji do if Changsun Wuji was him.

Changsun Wuji was taken aback!
Perhaps he did not expect Li Er to ask him such a question, Changsun Wuji said without hesitation: "I will deal with it according to the law."

"Oh!" Li Er sighed, "I knew you would say that."

"No matter what, Hou Junji has made great military exploits for half his life as a soldier of the Tang Dynasty. I really can't bear to let no one pay homage to him after his death."

"Then you mean not to deal with Hou Junji's family members! But in this way, there is no justice in this law!"

"What if there are heroes who rebel in the future, what should we do? Once this hole is opened, what will happen to you?" Changsun Wuji said.

He could tell that Li Er was planning to do favoritism, and he handled Hou Junji's rebellion lightly.

In this way, the law will be destroyed by Li Er himself. If there are meritorious officials who rebel in the future, can they follow the example of Hou Junji's case and deal with the rebels leniently.
