I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

After this kowtow, Hou Junji was also ruthless, and broke his head!

Blood was oozing from his forehead, and he looked like a madman with disheveled hair.

Poor madman.

Changsun Wuji sighed softly... even he felt a little pity and couldn't bear to watch it.

He is begging to die now, as a general, to die on the battlefield, to contribute his last strength for the Great Tang and the emperor.

How tragic is this?
Even though he committed a heinous crime before, but now...

He is heroic and worthy of respect!
"Please Your Majesty, please!"

Hou Junji burst into tears, tearing his heart and lungs.

"Okay, okay, I promise you, I promise you!"

"Don't hurt yourself anymore!"

Li Shimin couldn't help crying, and hurriedly helped Hou Junji up.

"Junji, why are you bothering?"

"I... I can't bear to watch you die..."

When Hou Junji heard Li Shimin's agreement, joy burst into his eyes.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"The guilty minister is willing to die on the battlefield! To die for His Majesty, for the Great Tang, and to die without regret!"

It can be seen that Hou Junji is really happy at this moment!
Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji, including Yang Qi, could feel his heartfelt joy.

This kind of joy is even more touching!

He was going to be a death squad on the battlefield...but he was so happy, as if he had received the supreme reward.

How could Li Shimin not be moved by this?
"Junji, you are capable. It would be a pity for a general like you to join the team first!"

Li Shimin wiped away his tears and said solemnly,

"I won't let you die!"

"I will arrange a suitable military position for you so that you can display your talents on the Tuyuhun battlefield!"

"Don't worry! I will never let you die in vain!"

When Hou Junji heard this, he panicked.

"Your Majesty, don't do it! The guilty minister puts on the body of a crime and wants to die with all his heart!"

He hastily refused, solemnly saying,
"If you really want to arrange a military position, please also make the criminal minister the vanguard officer!"

"When fighting like this, criminals can be at the forefront! Take the lead and charge forward!"

"A death-seeking person like the guilty minister will definitely be able to tear through the enemy's defenses and make them rout!"

Seeing Hou Junji's serious expression, Li Shimin couldn't bear it, but finally agreed.

"All right!"

"Then I will let you be the vanguard officer and be the sharpest spear in my Tang Dynasty!"

"But you have to remember, don't deliberately ask for death! If you can survive, it will boost the morale of the army!"

A vanguard general kills seven in and seven out of the enemy army without dying, and the vanguard general rushes into the enemy army and dies.

The impact of these two on the morale of the army is very different!

Hou Junji understood Li Shimin's meaning and nodded repeatedly.

"According to the order!"

With bright eyes, he said,
"The guilty minister must do his best on the battlefield!"

"If you are lucky enough not to die, after the war is won, the guilty minister will commit suicide and apologize to repay the grace of God!"

Li Shimin: "?!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Li Er scolded,
"If you don't die, then you have military merit! Military merit can pay off! Why do you still have to die?"

"As I said, you are not allowed to die, let alone ask for death! Otherwise, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor, and the nine clans will be exterminated!"

However, Hou Junji shook his head.

"No, the guilty minister must die, otherwise it will be difficult for His Majesty."

He said in a low voice,

"The guilty minister will never make things difficult for His Majesty."

"Your Majesty can show mercy and allow the guilty minister to participate in this war, and the guilty minister will die without regret! Everything else, the criminal minister has nothing to ask for!"

Hou Junji was very stubborn.

Or die on the battlefield.

Or commit suicide after winning the war!

Anyway, after going out this trip, he doesn't plan to come back alive!

And the reason is very simple.

Don't make it difficult for the emperor.

The meaning of "difficult to do" was naturally understood by several people present.

But precisely because he knew everything, Li Shimin felt more pity for this former general.

"You... hey!"

Li Shimin got up and sighed,
"I won't make it difficult, as long as you come back alive, I have my own way."

"You are not allowed to seek death, this is my will for you, you are not allowed to resist the order!"

"Now your task is to take good rest and strengthen your body! The vanguard general of the Tang army must not look so weak!"

"Did you hear that?"

Hou Junji shook his head, then nodded again.

"I didn't hear the previous words, but I heard the latter words."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the guilty minister must take a good rest and recuperate, and restore his former health!"

Li Shimin: "#￥%...&**@#"

This guy, after eating the weight, he is determined to die on the battlefield!
"You!"

"Hey! Yang Qi, you will take good care of Hou Junji in the next period of time! All kinds of meals must be served according to the best! Let the imperial dining room deliver them!"

Yang Qi nodded repeatedly.

"According to the order!"

He respectfully replied, and at the same time glanced at Hou Junji.

Hou Gong, Hou Gong, you can really do it!
This bitter plan actually succeeded!I was almost moved to tears just now!

However, he also knew that Hou Junji was fighting for his life!

Only by sacrificing one's life like this, and disregarding life and death, can one truly gain His Majesty's trust!

While feeling emotional, his heart was also beating straight.

Your own mansion... is coming!
There is also half of the property that Hou Gong promised, it is all his!

Just think about it, it's exciting!
……

Li Shimin instructed Hou Junji again, and then he got up and left the prison.

When he reached the aisle, he stretched out his hand and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Auxiliary machine..."

"I see, let's release Junji today?"

"He is going to go to the battlefield. He shouldn't stay in such a bad place like the sky prison. He needs to go home and recuperate."

he said softly.

Changsun Wuji nodded.

"It's time for Hou Junji to recuperate and make up for his lack of health. The combat power of the vanguard general cannot be weak."

he replied,
"only……"

"Your Majesty just released Hou Junji, where is the Grand Master?"

Going around, Xu Fenglei is the mountain that cannot be avoided.

"Didn't Junji say it? He is going to die on the battlefield, and everyone is willing to die. No matter how much Xu Fenglei hates him, he won't say anything more, right?"

Li Shimin whispered,

"Looking at the state of Junji, he really wants the corpse wrapped in horse leather!"

"Although I don't want him to die, if he really takes the lead, probably... he will really die on the battlefield."

"Hey! Don't worry about Xu Fenglei, isn't he unwilling to come back regardless of the world? Then I don't need to ask his opinion right now."

"You go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to go through the procedures and release Junji!"

Changsun Wuji opened his mouth, but in the end he agreed without saying anything.

Although the idea is a bit vicious.

But he really hoped that Hou Junji would just die on the battlefield like this.

Otherwise, it will inevitably trigger a new round of conflicts!

Your Majesty's temper...is soft-hearted.

But thinking about it the other way around, it is such a monarch who can give his subjects the greatest sense of security!

If you commit a crime, he will try his best to save you.

If there is something to ask for, even under pressure, he will try to find ways to satisfy him.

Throughout the ages, kings have been mean and ungrateful.

How many people can be like His Majesty today?

……

That night.

Chang'an, Hou Mansion.

dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

Squeak!

The door was opened in an instant, and the whole family was already waiting at the door!

With a whimper, Mrs. Liu threw herself into Hou Junji's arms.

"Old...Master!"

"Woooooooo..."

"You're back, you're back!"

She burst into tears, and even the servants and maidservants in the mansion were weeping unceasingly.

"OK OK."

Hou Junji patted his wife on the shoulder and said softly,

"It's hard for you, you've been waiting for me all these years, it's hard work."

"Go, go in and talk."

Mrs. Liu nodded, combed her husband's hair, and said with a distressed expression:
"You haven't taken care of your hair for a long time. I'll help you clean it later."

"And this complexion...why is it so bad? Master, you've lost too much weight..."

Hou Junji waved his hand.

"None of that matters."

He took a deep breath and said,

"It is the greatest blessing to be able to come back alive."

"Let's go... By the way, where is Yu'er?"

He scanned the crowd, but he didn't see his son.

Hou Yu was extremely disobedient before, and he was very angry.

But with the passage of time, the anger in my heart has also dissipated a lot, and at this moment, my mentality has also calmed down.

"Hou Yu has already left home."

Liu wiped away her tears and said calmly,

"After that day, he left. I don't know where he went, and I don't want to look for it again."

"Let him go, he's already broken my heart."

How much disappointment must a mother have to give up her son?

Although her words were calm, her voice was still a little trembling.

"well……"

"Let him go."

Hou Junji supported his wife's shoulders, raised his head and sighed,
"Just pretend that I, Hou Junji, never gave birth to this son, and let him fend for himself!"

"Come on, let's go in and talk."

……

In the hall, hot meals are served on the table.

When Hou Junji came out last time, he gave Mrs. Liu a list of some old friends who could borrow money.

Relying on this list, Mrs. Liu has indeed borrowed a lot of money, and life in the mansion has improved a little bit.

Of course, the main reason is that Hou Yu left home, otherwise the little money would not be enough for him to buy cigarettes.

"Master, I heard from Doctor Yang that you are going to the battlefield soon, and you want to be a pioneer? To die?"

Mrs. Liu was carrying vegetables for Hou Junji, and said with a sad face,
"Can I not go?"

"War is too dangerous!"

Hou Junji sneered.

"Not going? How do you think I got out? Not going!"

He said in a low voice,

"It must be a fight, otherwise how can I get military merit? Without military merit, how can I have a reason to come back and return to the court?"

"But don't worry, I won't die foolishly!"

"In the end, victory will definitely belong to me!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu relaxed a little.

It's not really good to die...

"It's finally a sliver of hope to survive until today, but it's just hope."

Hou Junji sternly said,

"Xu Fenglei has not lost power, and still has a huge power in the court!"

"This time, thanks to the misunderstanding between the emperor and him, I was able to seize the opportunity to come out!"

"It's a rare opportunity. I will be more cautious in my behavior in the future, and I will never be caught by others... You are the same at home, just treat yourself as ordinary people!"

"Keep this simplicity, and there will be no disasters!"

"Understand?"

Liu Shi nodded again and again.

"Understood, sir."

"We're used to simplicity now, and we won't think about those extravagant things anymore."

"If you can live in peace and stability, you will be satisfied."

Hou Junji nodded slightly.

My wife is still reliable, she can be called a good wife.

"Xu Fenglei, even though you have repeatedly suppressed me, I, Hou Junji, have come out."

He looked at a chicken leg in front of him and whispered to himself,
"I know it's very difficult to kill you. With the emperor's temperament, even I can't bear to kill you, so how can I be willing to kill you?"

"Even if you commit a serious crime of treason, he will remember the kindness of the past... let's forgive him?"

"However, don't really think that you are really invincible."

"I can't kill you, but I know how to revenge you..."

"And the emperor... Do you really think how much kindness you have to me? I have made great contributions to you, but you treat me like this..."

"Ha ha ha ha ha……"

Hou Junji's revenge plan has been brewing for many years!
Xu Fenglei was never the only one he hated!
……

The next day.

Enter Li Jing's residence.

"Under the door:"

"Confess Li Jing as Minister of the Ministry of War, worship as the chief commander of the Xikaidao March, take charge of all military affairs, and conquer Tuyuhun!"

"Congratulations, Li Gong, Your Majesty has unlimited trust in you!"

After the eunuch who passed the decree read out the imperial decree, he handed over the imperial decree with a smile.

When Li Jing heard the decree, his brows were filled with joy, and the excitement in his heart was beyond words!
Although he already knew that he would be in command, the moment he was officially conferred by the imperial decree, his inner excitement was beyond words!
This is the first time he has independently commanded a foreign war!
Whether it can leave a strong mark in the history books depends on this time!

"Thank you, thank you, Eunuch!"

"Hongfu, hurry up, give Eunuch the money!"

"Look at you, it's already ready," Hong Fu Nu pursed her lips with a smile, and handed a silver ingot in her hand to the hand of the eunuch who passed the decree.

"Thank you Mr. Li, thank you Madam."

The decree eunuch smiled and said,

"You are preparing, our family is resigning."

Eunuchs also watch people order food.

In front of a minister like Li Jing, he called himself "our family" and was a little more reserved.

But in front of Xu Fenglei, who is more closely related to the emperor, he calls himself a servant, and his attitude is even lower.

"Father-in-law, walk slowly."

Li Jing sent away the eunuch who passed the decree, and he was already overjoyed.

"Okay, okay..."

"This time we can finally flex our muscles! Tuyuhun, Murong!"

"It's bad luck for you to meet this old man!"

He rubbed his hands, and the words he spoke were not calm. He was obviously a veteran, but he was quite young.

"You, always like this."

"However, I just like your vigor, and you will never accept old age."

"Come on, pop one."

The red-haired girl held her husband's face with a smile, and put her red lips together.

Li Jing's heart skipped a beat.
