Chapter 568
Hou Junji's life has not been easy recently. It was only on the day when Li Chengqian murdered people in the street and lost his crown prince's position that he realized how big a mistake he had made, and how much he had offended a person who should not be offended.

But although Hou Junji was a little flustered, he didn't lose his sense of proportion. After all, Li Shimin was only forty years old. Even if Li Ke became the crown prince, it would take some effort to become the emperor. This heroic general doesn't have much to do.

But Hou Junji really overestimated himself and underestimated Li Ke. Li Ke's revenge came much earlier than he thought.

Tai Chi Palace, Ganlu Palace.

Li Shimin crouched in front of the table in the palace to review the memorial, while Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang also imitated Li Shimin's appearance, leaning on Li Shimin like a small animal, leaning on the desk, but her eyes were not on the memorial, but It was Li Shimin who was staring at him.

Li Mingda watched Li Shimin look at the memorial in front of him with a meticulous look, looked left and right, and asked curiously: "Father, do you think these notebooks are good?"

Li Shimin replied: "That's natural, the records here are all important national affairs, of course it's beautiful."

Li Mingda looked at the memorial in Li Shimin's hand, but after a few glances, he found it very boring, so he said: "Father, what a beautiful look, in my opinion, it's not as good as the picture book that my brother brought me from outside the palace." It's pretty."

Princess Jinyang is the youngest daughter of Li Shimin. She is very young, so naturally she has many elder brothers, but when she calls other elder brothers, she will always lead the seniors to sort them out. Only Li Ke is called elder brother. Needless to say, Li Ke The elder brother Mingda was talking about was naturally Li Ke.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Those picture albums you read were all found by your brother Sanhuang from the folks, and they are all about anecdotes. They are read by you children. It is natural for you to read them now as a father." I still don't understand."

Hearing this, Li Mingda stuck out his tongue, shook Li Shimin's sleeves and said in a bored way: "It's been a long time, why is the third brother still not here?"

It turns out that Li Mingda didn't come to accompany Li Shimin in the Ganlu Hall today, but made a special trip here to wait for Li Ke. Before the eldest grandson Queen died of illness, Li Ke had mentioned to Li Shimin that if he had free time, he could take his little son out of the palace. Let's relax, and today is the day when Xiao Sizi goes to Chu Palace to stay temporarily, so Li Mingda is waiting for Li Ke here.

Li Shimin raised his head to look at the sky outside, and said with a smile: "Looking at the sun, Ke'er should have just arrived from Youxiaowei's government office, and it will be here soon. What's the matter? Is the little one in such a hurry to leave the palace?"

Li Mingda said: "Brother promised to take me out to play before returning to the palace last time, little Si can't wait any longer."

Li Shimin looked at Li Mingda's smiling face, touched the top of her head lovingly, and asked softly, "Where are you going this time?"

Li Mingda replied without hesitation: "Go to Dongshi, I heard from the people in the palace that Dongshi is the busiest, with many people and things."

Li Shimin said: "Dongshi is a good place, but there are many people and things are complicated there. When you go, you can't run around. You need to stay with your emperor brother or Xue Rengui."

When Li Mingda went out of the palace, he mostly went out with Li Ke, but sometimes Li Ke couldn't get away, so he would order Xue Rengui to follow.

"Okay." Although Li Mingda was young, she was sensible. She complied with Li Shimin's words, stepped back from Li Shimin's side, and went to the side to play without disturbing Li Shimin's review of the memorial.

Li Shimin's daughters, except Li Lizhi, the eldest daughter of Li Shimin, who is already married out, belong to Li Mingda who is the most favored by Li Shimin. With Li Mingda by his side, Li Shimin is in a good mood and has a smile on his face, but just When he saw a memorial sent from Yushitai, his face changed drastically. If he was not afraid of frightening Li Mingda, he might have already started to complain.

This memorial is nothing else but the memorial to impeach Hou Junji by Shi Yushi Xie Chong.

Li Shimin is honored by all ethnic groups in the world, and he is called Tian Khan, who is powerful in the world, and he prides himself on benevolence. What Hou Junji did really slapped him in the face.

Hou Junji not only condoned his soldiers to plunder after the surrender of Gaochang, and killed the people without authorization, but also privately exiled Gaochang officials who were not responsible for the crime. The reputation of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions was almost ruined by him. How could Li Shimin not be angry.

Li Shimin was furious, and at this moment, Li Ke also happened to walk into the hall. Li Ke looked at Li Shimin holding the memorial in his hand, with a very ugly expression, and he already guessed what was going on in his heart.

"My son Li Ke pays homage to his father." Li Ke entered the hall and paid homage to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded, and said to Li Ke: "Ke'er is here, get up quickly."

"Thank you, father." Li Ke thanked him and stood up.

After getting up, Li Ke stepped forward, looked at Li Shimin's appearance, and asked pretending to be ignorant: "Your father's complexion is not good, but did you make your father angry?"

Li Shimin waved his hands and said: "Xiao Si is a girl, what mistakes can she make to make her father so angry, this matter has nothing to do with Xiao Si, just look at this."

Li Shimin said, and handed Xie Chong's memorial to Li Ke.

Li Ke looked at the memorial in his hand, and his expression changed suddenly, as if he was also shocked by what was said in the memorial.

Li Ke took the memorial and did not discuss this matter with Li Shimin immediately, but first asked Li Mingda to go to the side hall with the servants in the hall to play, and then said to Li Shimin: "How dare Hou Junji do this?"

Li Shimin said: "Hou Junji can be regarded as a veteran in the army. He has followed his father for many years, but he did not expect him to be so careless, and his hands and feet are so dirty. I am really disappointed by my father."

Just like what Li Shimin said, the Tang Dynasty was powerful and the most powerful in the world. They had natural psychological advantages. If Hou Junji just killed a few people and embezzled some money for himself, Li Shimin could turn a blind eye. There were frequent foreign wars in the Tang Dynasty, and how many generals' hands were really clean.

Even when Li Ke went on an expedition, he would sometimes withhold some money that should have been handed over to the treasury to distribute to the soldiers to appease the hearts of the people. It's too ugly, it just breaks the rules.

Li Ke said: "With Hou Junji's actions like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us in the Tang Dynasty to block the hearts of the people in the world. I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to manage the Western Regions in the future."

Li Shimin said angrily: "Hou Junji must be severely punished for this matter, otherwise my Tang Dynasty's prestige in the eyes of the four seas will be greatly reduced. At that time, everyone will be in danger and see my Tang Dynasty as a man-eating tiger and leopard. Then pay it back." have to."

Li Ke thought for a while, and replied: "I only read Xie Yushi's memorials, but I heard the rumors, and there is no real evidence. After all, Hou Junji is a hero and general, so it is inconvenient to move lightly. I think this matter should be investigated secretly. After a thorough investigation, we will deal with it. Right now, we only need to beat him first. Hou Junji is also a veteran, if he can take the initiative to confess his crime to the emperor, that would be the best."

What Li Ke said also had his reasons. Although what Xie Chong said was mostly true, Hou Junji was also a hero who founded the country after all, so it is inconvenient to move lightly.

Li Shimin agreed: "Okay, it's inconvenient to leave this matter to others, so it's hard work for you to go to the Hou's mansion and beat him up. If he confesses his crimes, it means that he still has something to offer. If he can't, I will definitely punish him severely."
