In the past, he might have rushed to the Ganlu Hall in a hurry, but at this moment, he wanted to walk slowly and take a look. After all, he didn't know when he would come to the palace next time.

After all, he was an old man in the palace. Even though Hou Junji's whole mind was on visiting the palace, he still walked to the gate of Ganlu Hall like an old horse knowing his way.

Seeing the familiar figure standing at the gate of Ganlu Hall unexpectedly, Hou Junji did not call out to His Majesty to show affection as in the past, but instead saluted respectfully,

"Hou Junji met His Majesty!"

Chapter 520 Subsequent Transformation of Hou Junji

Looking at Li Shimin, who had come to greet him at the gate of Ganlu Hall on a whim, his best friend for many years and general under his command, he had the urge to wipe his eyes quickly.

This Confucian general with a calm face and a little smile is actually that Hou Junji?

Li Shimin was actually on a whim today. After all, if he wanted to discuss the matter of attacking the Turks, he had to discuss it with the generals in the army.

But now that Cheng Yaojingang came back and asked for leave to hide in his own home, Yu Chigong was an idiot, he would only follow orders to kill, and then for some reason, Li Shimin thought of Hou Junji.

I haven't seen you for a few months, so good to see you!

Then Li Shimin saw a completely different Hou Junji.

Li Shimin has always believed in one thing, that is, people's appearance and expression can deceive people, but the eyes are difficult to deceive people, because the eyes express too many emotions.

Today's Hou Junji, compared with before, has deeper eyes.

Hearing Hou Junji's greeting, Li Shimin put away his thoughts for the time being, nodded,

"Wai Li, come in, chat with me, and see how you have grown in the past few months!"

After the two monarchs and ministers took their seats in the hall, Li Shimin spoke first,

"Hou Junji, when do you think it is appropriate for Tang to attack the Turks, and how should we fight this battle?"

Hou Junji frowned when he heard Li Shimin's question. As a general, he was naturally willing to fight. It can even be said that they are the ones who want to fight the most.

Because as long as there is war, they will not end up in the end of Gong Yu hiding and running dogs, and at the same time they can make meritorious deeds and glory.

However, as long as it is a war, there are risks. Not to mention the incompetence of the general and the exhaustion of the three armies, if one is not careful, various problems will appear in a battle that could have been won.

Therefore, Hou Junji, whose temper has really calmed down slowly, needs to think about it.

Li Shimin was a little surprised that Hou Junji didn't reply immediately, but at the same time he was also a little relieved, it seemed that Hou Junji had really grown up.

After a while, even the servant next to him secretly yawned before Hou Junji spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, I have been thinking for a long time, and I feel that this year is not the best time to go to war in the light of the Tang Dynasty's situation. I'll just wait and defend myself!"

"After the war of annihilation of Goryeo, the other small countries will be full of fear, and maybe they will jump over the wall and join forces to attack Datang."

"It just so happens that His Royal Highness the King of Qin destroyed Goryeo this year and strengthened my prestige, so we just need to hoard troops at the border for defense."

"There are three advantages in this way. First, it is convenient for Tang Dynasty to supply supplies nearby. Not to mention the need for expeditions, and with the artillery produced by His Royal Highness King Qin, it is much easier than siege!"

"Second, you can mix old and new recruits to speed up the training of new recruits. Only soldiers who have seen blood are good soldiers. It just so happens that this defensive battle can let them experience it."

"Thirdly, His Royal Highness King Qin has already destroyed Goryeo, and Silla and Baekje are only lingering. If we can still resist the wave of soldiers from other countries at the border this year, then we will surely shock all the small countries around us!"

"In this way, when His Royal Highness King Qin completely stabilizes Korea and returns next year, then we will definitely crush the Turks in one fell swoop!"

After listening to Hou Junji's analysis, Li Shimin laughed!

"Haha, Hou Junji! You really didn't disappoint me! However, you, General Zuowei, should let someone else take over for a while. I have an errand for you!"

When Hou Junji heard that he was still not given the post of General of the Left Guard, it was as if he hadn't heard, but instead he stood up straight and bowed to salute,

"I'm a humble minister, but it's up to His Majesty to arrange!"

Li Shimin laughed noncommittally, and then said,

"You've been reading recently, and you're still reading the books of my righteous brother. Although you have gained something, the book is in vain. Instead of keeping you locked at home and reading, it's better to find a teacher for you!"

"I plan to transfer [-] households from the customs to emigrate to Goryeo. You can handle this matter, and then you will stay in Goryeo and watch and learn slowly by King Qin's side!"

"If you can get the King of Qin to take the initiative to invite you to serve as his general to go to the Turks, then your affairs will be settled!"

Hou Junji's calm expression before this time and that finally began to change color!

The news that he was studying was known by His Majesty, but Hou Junji didn't react at all. All the important officials had His Majesty's spies in their homes, let alone they didn't know who it was, even if they knew it, they had to treat it as if they didn't know.

Because this is a rule, a tacit rule.

However, reading books belonged to reading books, if he was placed next to His Royal Highness King Qin, he would still take a hundred thousand peasants to Korea, not to mention, His Royal Highness Qin King would have to take the initiative to ask for someone in the end.

This is too strong.

Because according to the gossip he knew, His Royal Highness Qin Wang was actually very cautious, and some behaviors could even be said to be capricious.

But it was such a Highness, according to the gossip that Hou Junji heard, he didn't like himself very much, and it seemed that even the marriage between the young girl and Cheng Qian was rejected by the prince's uncle.

Hou Junji was not afraid of suffering or tiredness, let alone making things difficult, but he was afraid of Zhang Nuo who played cards out of common sense, because you never thought that an order that you couldn't figure out would come out at any time.

But you can't do it if you don't implement it. Let's not say that the first level of officials crushes people to death. The key is that His Royal Highness King Qin put things in front of you and you can't understand them.

The relationship between Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji was barely okay, so from his mouth, Hou Junji knew a lot about getting along with His Highness King Qin.

Although he couldn't believe it all, even half of it would give him a headache.

One must know that Cheng Yaojin is notoriously unscrupulous and a hobgoblin. Even such a person is tamed by His Royal Highness Qin Wang, so how can he still dance when he goes there?
