I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 242 Chatting with Li Zheng at Night

late at night.

Looking at the secret music played in front of me.

Li Shimin opened it, took a look, and then closed it.

Looking at Wang Hao in front of him, he asked, "Your Majesty, are you still drinking at the Duke Protector's Mansion?"

"Who are all participating?"

Wang Hao bowed and reported: "Your Majesty, in addition to the Lord Protector, there are also Lord Wei, Lord Tang, and the Second Young Master of Qin."

"Oh, what did they talk about?"

Li Shimin asked calmly.

"We talked about General Li's angry remarks to Mr. Kong Xiankong in the court today, and... about the King of Lujiang's assassination of General Li."

Wang Hao replied.

"My prince is still dissatisfied with me, has he vented his anger?"

Li Shimin asked, holding the secret memorial.

"General Li is very satisfied with the emperor's handling. He has repeatedly stated that his act of abandoning his official robe in court today was a bit excessive and expressed the hope that your majesty can forgive him for his recklessness."

"The Protector, Lord Wei, and Lord Tang also did General Li's work."

Wang Hao answered truthfully.

"What else did they say?"

"Your Majesty."

"General Li and others are inexplicably confused by General Hou's sudden change of attitude."

Wang Hao bowed.

"Of course they don't know that Hou Junji's attitude changed all because Li Zheng saved the prince! How could Hou Junji's stubborn donkey change?"

Li Shimin nodded and said calmly.

……

at the same time.

Hou Junji's residence.

"I said, what happened during this time?"

"Why do you show weakness to Li Zheng like that? Not only do you give gifts, but you also ask us to stop suppressing the Wang family?"

"Is it possible that we are just going to suffer the loss we suffered from Li Zheng? Are we going to lick our faces to please him?"

All the generals and nobles from Shandong and Hebei looked at Hou Junji on the throne with great confusion.

these past few months.

Hou Junji has changed too much.

It was so big that all the generals in Shandong and Hebei were extremely puzzled.

Looking at the brothers who were denounced in front of him, Hou Junji was helpless at the moment.

He knew what he really wanted, but the middle-aged man in front of him didn't know it at all, and now was also a critical moment. He must not say it. Once he did, the consequences would be unpredictable.

After all, Li Zheng saved the prince, and he, Hou Junji, could not be ungrateful.

"Brothers, don't worry."

"It's not that I'm showing weakness, or that I'm afraid."

"It's that Li Zheng has great kindness to me, and the prince is our real backstage guarantee."

"The prince is still recovering from his illness. I can't say anything about it yet, because if I say anything, we will all suffer."

"You just need to remember that I will never harm you."

Hou Junji sighed and said helplessly.

"Why can't we even tell us what is going on?" Zhang Liang said very puzzled.

"Yes."

"For so many years, we have been fighting on the battlefield and we are all brothers in life and death. What exactly have you hidden from us?"

Gao Kan was also very surprised.

"Brothers."

"I really can't say."

"That's all I can tell you."

"Li Zheng has a great kindness to me and the prince. I, Hou Junji, will never do anything to disgrace myself. I hope you will give up your prejudices and turn conflicts with Li Zheng into friendship." Hou Junji still comforted these old brothers.

"Lao Hou, I know that Li Zheng left the medicine for the prince."

"Also, Li Zheng is highly respected by the emperor, but he has a grudge against us. Even if we try to please him, we won't be able to do much," Zhang Liang said.

"Yes." "Now that the emperor has completely usurped power from us, we have official positions but no real power. What else can we do?"

Yin Kaishan also said.

"All right."

"You all should say less."

"honestly."

"You were enemies with Li Zheng in the beginning, and I was a little confused."

"Now that General Hou wants to ease the relationship with Li Zheng, you should follow his lead. Brothers after so many years, he will not harm us."

"Also, I have met the emperor alone several times. His attitude towards Li Zheng is really too patronizing. It is not like treating a foreign minister at all."

"Perhaps you don't know what happened today."

"Li Yuan, the king of Lujiang, sent someone to assassinate Li Zheng, but Li Zheng led the assassin to Tai Chi Hall."

"Do you know how the emperor finally dealt with Li Yuan?"

Zhang Gongjin, who was sitting next to Hou Junji, suddenly spoke.

As the only general among the generals of Shandong and Hebei who still has power and has not been stripped of his title, he also reunited with the generals of Shandong and Hebei for the first time after returning from the expedition.

Hear his words.

The generals from Shandong and Hebei nodded, but there was still strong curiosity about this matter in their eyes.

"Li Yuan was deposed from the throne, demoted to a commoner, imprisoned in the royal ancestral temple forever, and no one was allowed to visit, and future kings will not be able to forgive him." Zhang Gongjin said.

"That's true."

"King Lujiang is the emperor's brother, and he has the merit of supporting him!"

"You were punished so heavily?"

All these Shandong and Hebei generals were stunned.

But only Hou Junji guessed the reason.

"all in all."

"If you still want to be stable for a long time, you must not offend Li Zheng again."

"Otherwise, no one can protect you."

"It's just like when you came to provoke me. If it weren't for the protection of the prince, you wouldn't be as simple as reducing your title."

"And now the prince is still in a coma recovering from illness. I'm afraid it will be difficult to wake up soon, and no one will be able to protect you by then."

"The best thing to do is to build a good relationship with Li Zheng."

"Everyone, please support him at this time."

"That's it!"

Zhang Gongjin said.

"Ok!"

All the generals from Shandong and Hebei also nodded.

Li Yuan's incident obviously gave them a big impact.

For Li Zheng, the current emperor even punished his own younger brother so severely, let alone them.

Provoking Li Zheng was indeed an unwise move.

……

And this moment.

Li Zheng lay on the bed.

He didn't sleep with Qin Wan'er.

Now that Qin Wan'er is about to give birth, it is a critical time, so naturally they can no longer sleep together.

Just returned to Chang'an today.

This stirred up the changes in Chang'an City.

As the protagonist who stirred up the storm, Li Zheng didn't know that because he made the powerful people in Chang'an even more afraid of him, they didn't dare to offend him.

Immediately, the fact that the emperor punished Li Yuan so severely had spread among the powerful circles.

But Li Zheng didn't think too much about it.

In his opinion, Li Yuan deserved this end. Who asked him to assassinate him and take his own life?

Letting him be imprisoned in the royal ancestral temple forever would be more uncomfortable than killing him, and Li Zheng agreed with this.

If Li Shimin really doesn't deal with him, then Li Zheng will definitely find a way to deal with this Li Yuan. He is the one who will definitely take revenge, let alone the hatred of life and death.
