Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 379: The Talent of Zaisuke?

How should Hou Junji's charges be determined?
This is a very troublesome question.

First of all, there is no need to repeat Hou Junji's charge of plundering Gaochang City with his troops. There is too much evidence to show that this is indeed a stupid thing he did out of arrogance.Destroying the country with one's troops is indeed a monstrous military feat, but if one maintains one's high feat without fear, it is definitely the thing that is most feared by the emperor.

Hou Junji made a mistake in overestimating his position in His Majesty Li Er's heart...

In this era when Li Jing was dormant, Li Ji was forbearing, and Cheng Yaojin and Wei Chigong were getting old, Hou Junji thought that he was already the most outstanding commander under His Majesty Li Er. I never thought about His Majesty Li Er's character.

His Majesty Li Er's opponents and the gang of old brothers are indeed good, but this is due to His Majesty Li Er's extremely confident character.He always believed that even if the generals under his command who had military power wanted to rebel against him, he could completely wipe them out.So, why not treat everyone better, and leave behind a good reputation that the monarch and his ministers benefit from each other and share weal and woe?

But it is this extremely confident character that makes no one irreplaceable in the eyes of His Majesty Li Er.

Li Jing who led the army to chase after Peking University to defeat the Turks was not Li Jing, Li Ji who fought countless battles without defeat, neither Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Yaojin who were brave and staunch, nor Hou Junji who was born in the market and ruthless...

His Majesty Li Er has a very unique attribute, he is very good at judging people.

Others might think that Hou Junji was worried about his meritorious deeds, so he slandered himself to win His Majesty Li Er's tolerance, but His Majesty Li Er knew very well that this was what Hou Junji did because of his momentary pride and pride. Stupid thing!

How bad would it be to behead the King of the Kingdom before the battle?
From now on, if the Tang army wants to conquer a certain country, don't expect them to surrender. If they surrender, they will have to be killed. Why not fight to the death to have a chance?
Simply stupid!
Looting Gaochang City with soldiers is something only a fool can do...

Ma Zhou has already expressed his attitude towards dealing with Hou Junji. Hearing what His Majesty Li Er said, Gao Shilian put down the teacup in his hand and said slowly: "A merit is a merit, and a demerit is a demerit. Hou Shangshu's move is an influence. Bad, I agree with Ma Shilang's opinion, he should be interrogated by Dali Temple, and act according to the law, and we can't ignore his faults just because of his military exploits in destroying Gaochang Kingdom."

Gao Shilian's status is very detached, he is not only the eldest grandson Wuji but also the uncle of Empress Wende and the uncle of His Majesty Li Er.In the ninth year of Wude, the conflict between His Majesty Li Er and Prince Li Jiancheng intensified. Gao Shilian, Changsun Wuji, Hou Junji and others persuaded His Majesty Li Er day and night, intending to kill Li Jiancheng and Qi Wang Li Yuanji.Later, Gao Shilian released the prisoners, gave them weapons, and rushed to Fanglin Gate with them, and cooperated with His Majesty Li Er to launch the Xuanwu Gate Change, making great contributions.

For Gao Shilian, His Majesty Li Er has always respected Gao Shilian, and he can be said to be obedient.

His Majesty Li Er nodded slightly, waiting to set the tone.

However, Cen Wenwen said: "Dali Temple is a place of torture, and the people under review are all major criminals who have committed serious crimes. Although Hou Junji has done it, after all, he has contributed to the destruction of Gaochang, and he is an important official of the court. In Dali Temple, you will definitely be insulted by the prison guards, and you will be punished severely, this is not the way to treat heroes, please think twice, Your Majesty."

His Majesty Li Er was a little hesitant, after all what Cen Wenwen said had some truths.He glanced at Fang Xuanling, hoping that this courtier who was always good at strategy could give him some advice, but when he saw Fang Xuanling bowed his head slightly, as if he didn't want to intervene, he knew that he was avoiding suspicion, after all Hou Junji's case was related to Fang Jun, and Fang Jun was the one who wrote to impeach Hou Junji, so no matter how he expressed his position, he would be easily criticized.

After pondering for a while, His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said: "Rewarding meritorious deeds and punishing others is the way of a wise emperor. Although Hou Junji has made great contributions to the community, the crime he committed in Gaochang cannot be erased, so let's hand it over to Dali Temple for trial. "

His Majesty the Emperor set the tone, so naturally no one would refute it.

Although everyone is a minister of the court, they only have the right to make suggestions. How to deal with it is still up to His Majesty Li Er's discretion.

After discussing the matter of Hou Junji, His Majesty Li Er held the memorial in his hand again, smiled very gratified, and smiled at Fang Xuanling: "Xuanling, you can be regarded as raising a good son... ..."

Fang Xuanling was sincere and frightened: "Your Majesty's praise is false, how can a bad boy dare to be praised by His Majesty?"

"Hehe, you don't need to be modest." His Majesty Li Er looked very happy, clapped the memorial in his hand, and said, "If you only read this memorial, Fang Jun is indeed a prime minister!"

When this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked!

For a long time, although His Majesty Li Er is willing to reuse the young courtiers in the court, he has always maintained a cautious attitude. While reused, he also kept beating, lest these young courtiers have a smooth career and develop arrogance .

It is unheard of to praise a young man who has not reached the weak crown like this!

Several people were staring at the memorial in the hands of His Majesty Li Er. Apart from the impeachment of Hou Junji, is there anything else?
What is it that makes His Majesty Li Er value him so much, and make such a jealous comment?

Fang Xuanling naturally knew what His Majesty Li Er wrote in this memorial, because at the same time this memorial was sent to the palace, another letter from home that was exactly the same was also sent home...

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Majesty, although young people should be encouraged to cultivate their confidence in doing things, they should not be praised too much to make them exaggerated and proud!" Roasting on the fire is equivalent to killing?

The more you praise, the more people will hate you, and there is one beside us...

His Majesty Li Er was stunned for a moment, and understood Fang Xuanling's implication. He secretly thought that he was careless. He thought that the people present here were his most trustworthy courtiers, but he forgot for a moment. These people can be loyal to him, but They are intrigues and disputes between each other.

Of course, if everyone is amicable and accommodating when things happen, he, the emperor, will not be able to sleep...

Regarding Fang Xuanling's words, His Majesty Li Er was noncommittal, but handed the memorial in his hand to Gao Shilian, and said with a smile: "Everyone circulate it, and see what kind of proposal our Xinxianghou has come up with for the Tang Dynasty." An ingenious strategy for the world!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Shilian took the memorial from His Majesty Li Er and looked at it carefully.

After a while, Gao Shilian finished reading the memorial and handed it to Zhangsun Wuji, while he narrowed his eyes slightly and thought carefully...

Once again, the political hall fell into silence.

After reading it, Changsun Wuji was expressionless, and handed the memorial to Ma Zhou...

Gao Shilian sighed softly, and said with a sigh: "In the past, I always thought that young people were short-sighted and short-tempered, and they inevitably couldn't think carefully when encountering problems. We need old bones to hold the rudder so that they don't take more detours. Now After reading this memorial, I realized that the old man is really old, such a stunning and brilliant design is enough to appease the four realms of the Tang Dynasty, and there will be no more troubles with weapons!"

Changsun Wuji was startled suddenly, and looked at his uncle in surprise.He also admitted that the strategy for dealing with Gao Changguo written in the memorial was very clever, but how could he get his uncle to say such words?
This is a great compliment!

The question is, this is just a strategy to win over and control Gaochang country, can it be applied everywhere?
It's an exaggeration...

Changsun Wuji fell into deep thought. Regarding his uncle, who seemed like a good old man, he knew very well his unfathomable wisdom and his precise vision of seeing people. These words were by no means aimless!
Changsun Wuji thought for a moment, not only was he horrified and moved!

It seems that I have been immersed in the strategy of power for too long, causing the overall strategy to retreat too much, and I didn't see the mystery described in this memorial at the first time!

Wine, wool...

Although I don't know how Fang Jun will operate, but if these two things are done, he can tightly grasp the lifeline of Gao Changguo and firmly control it in his hands!

The same principle, in fact, has reference significance for Tuyuhun, Tubo, and even Goguryeo!

Is this Fang Jun so amazing?

If this strategy is successful, in less than 30 years, Datang will be able to control all the surrounding countries in his hands without spending a single soldier, let them live or die, let them die or die!
This……

It's too unbelievable, right?
