Capital Datang

"Although Hou Junji has made great achievements in this expedition to Gaochang, he has also committed great mistakes. Therefore, I have decided to temporarily dismiss my military post, and then..."

Seeing the excited civil and military officials, Li Shimin finally made up his mind to arrest Hou Junji first and put him in prison, and then convict him after interrogation.However, before he could finish his words, he saw Li Yin standing up suddenly, stepped forward and said: "Father, please calm down. My son thinks that General Hou is at fault, but it is justifiable. After all, Xizhou Heting The state is far away from the Central Plains, and it is easy to cause instability in the army. General Hou mishandled it this time, which caused the problem of military discipline corruption. Although it is also a serious crime, I hope that the father can make it worthwhile and reduce some punishments!"

Seeing Li Yin pleading for Hou Junji, not only Li Shimin was taken aback, but other civil and military officials were also very surprised, because Li Yin usually rarely expresses his opinion on these military and political affairs, unless Li Shimin asked him, and he and Hou Junji is a person who can't even get a piece of his own, and now he suddenly intercedes for him, which makes everyone a little surprised.

In fact, Li Yin was also smiling wryly in his heart, because he knew that it was because of this incident that Hou Junji was convicted and sent to prison. Although he was later exonerated, he did not get any promotion. Prince Li Chengqian came together, and the reason why Li Chengqian had the courage to rebel was Hou Junji's greatest support.

Although the relationship between Li Yin and Li Chengqian is not good, even when Li Yin's reputation was damaged last time, the other party still made trouble. It can be said that the two are still in opposing positions.But even so.Li Yin also didn't want to see the other party being exiled because of the rebellion. It wasn't that he wanted to be a bad person, but that he didn't want the Tang Dynasty's regime to fluctuate too much. After all, if Li Chengqian rebelled, a large number of people would definitely be implicated. There will also be severe turmoil in the court, and even his development plan will be affected, so if it can reduce the possibility of Li Chengqian's rebellion, then he will try his best to try.Capital Datang 176

However, Li Shimin was really angry this time, and after being exposed by the Confucian Daily News.Everyone in the world knew that if Hou Junji was not punished, he might not be able to show the majesty of the court, so in the end he did not agree to Li Yin's pleading.He still opened his mouth and said, "King Qi, you don't need to excuse Hou Junji anymore, I have made up my mind, and immediately send someone to escort Hou Junji back to Chang'an!"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he flicked his robe sleeves, announced his retreat, and then turned and left the Tai Chi Hall.When the civil and military officials below saw His Majesty leaving, they immediately gathered together in groups of three or four, discussing today's affairs while walking outside.Li Yin's strange reaction today also aroused the curiosity of many people, such as Xiao Yu, Xu Jingzong and other close ministers.At this time, they all found Li Yin and wanted to ask for clarification, but unfortunately Li Yin didn't know how to explain it at all, so he had to confuse it with vague words.

After finally sending Xiao Yu and the others away, Li Min wiped off his sweat and was about to leave, but as soon as he stepped out of the gate of the Tai Chi Hall, a person came out next to him and grabbed his arm and said, "Liulang, what are you doing today? Junji's intercession must have a different meaning, right?"

Li Yin turned around to look, but found that the person who grabbed him was Wei Gong Li Jing.The old man and Hou Junji were not on the right track, but today he behaved very gentlemanly in court, and did not do anything to add insult to injury.Li Yin looked at the other party's smiling face, and immediately asked with a puzzled expression: "Wei Gong, this junior just feels that General Hou is a little wronged. How can there be any deep meaning?"

"Hey, lying to an elder. This is not what a gentleman would do!" Li Jing obviously discovered something, and the smile on his face was sinister no matter how you looked.

Seeing the other party's expression, Li Yin was also very surprised. Could it be that the old fox Li Jing has already guessed something?Thinking of this, he hesitated and asked: "Wei Gong, I really don't understand what you are talking about?"

Although Li Yin was still denying it, Li Jing was not angry at all, he let go of his arm and said with a smile: "Liu Lang, do you want to save Hou Junji's life?"

"What is Wei Gong's meaning? Although General Hou made a big mistake, he still won't die, right?" Li Yin was still pretending to be stupid.

"Hehe, Liulang why pretend to be confused, although Hou Junji will be fine this time, but with his temperament, he will definitely be dissatisfied with His Majesty, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely do something unwise. So the old man concluded that as long as he doesn't change his "nature", he will definitely be doomed!" Li Jing also stopped playing around with Li Yin, and directly expressed his conjecture.

Li Yin was also shocked when he heard this, the person who knows him best is indeed his enemy, Li Jing has already guessed the final fate of Hou Junji based on his own understanding of Hou Junji's character.But it is a pity that no matter how vicious Li Jing's eyes are, he will never guess that in the end Hou Junhui and Li Chengqian colluded in a rebellion, which not only ruined himself but also implicated many people.

"Wei Gong has good eyesight, this junior really can't bear to see my Great Tang lose a general!" Li Min said smoothly, anyway, he still lacks a reason to fool others, and the one sent by Li Jing just happened to be better.

"Hehe, Liulang, don't be sorry, our military academy will start soon, and under the guidance of the old man and King Hejian, we don't know how many future famous generals will graduate from there, so there is no need to do it for a Hou Jun. Collect and worry!" Li Jing saw Li Yin nodding, and couldn't help saying very complacently, this old man really thought he had guessed all the other's thoughts.

Hearing the other party mentioning the military academy, Li Yin couldn't help but feel hopeful. Some time ago, the construction of the military academy was affected by the autumn harvest, but now the progress of the project has been accelerated, and the project will be completed before the end of the year, and the school will officially start after the new year. , and whether it is a teacher or a student, Li Xiaogong and Li Jing have already finished their preparations, and have already started preliminary teaching in a temporary place. I heard that the effect is not bad.

Talked with Li Jing about meeting the military academy again, Li Min left, but he didn't go back to the mansion, but went to Concubine Yang, because the day after tomorrow is the full moon of this little guy Shengping, when Li Shimin will not only entertain the group Minister, and will announce the title of Shengping to the world, so Li Yin wants to go and see that little guy first.

Concubine Yang was still living in the obstetrical pavilion before confinement. When Li Yin entered, she found that the obstetrical pavilion was very lively. Several young princes and princesses, including Sizi, Li Zhi, and Qinghe, were all there. Playing with little Shengping on the crib.Concubine Yang was leaning on the bed, watching with a smile and not speaking.

Li Zhi and the others were all focused on Shengping, and didn't notice Li Yin coming in at first.And Li Yin didn't remind them, he walked over lightly, looked at the group of little guys with his head, and found that Sizi and his sister Xincheng were each with a rattle, dangling on Shengping's face, and Shengping, the little guy The guy stretched out his white and tender hands, as if he wanted to grab the rattle in the hands of the two sisters, but her hands didn't listen to her hands at all, and she didn't have a point of aim from left to right. Such a clumsy appearance naturally provoked Sizi they laughed.

Li Yin looked interesting from behind, walked over and snatched the two rattles from behind Sizi and Xincheng, and stuffed them into Shengping's hands. As a result, the little girl shook it twice and found a crisp sound, so she was even more excited. He opened his toothless mouth and laughed loudly while waving his small arms.

"Sixth brother, you are so bad, you rob Sizi and my sister's things as soon as you come!" Sizi turned his head and saw that it was Li Yin, and immediately pursed his mouth and said dissatisfiedly.Sizi is already five years old this year. Although she is only a little taller, she looks a lot more sensible, but she still likes to act like a baby when facing the sixth brother who loves her the most.

"Hello Sixth Brother, I want to eat!" Xincheng was originally Li Shimin's youngest daughter, but now this title is Shengping's, and she has finally become an older sister, but this young lady of Shengping is only three years old. I either want snacks or toys.Capital Datang 176

"Haha, you two, don't make trouble. Sixth brother, I brought you a new snack today. Let's see if you like it." Li Yin said, and took out a glass jar from his cuff, which contained some colorful snacks. Small balls.

"Brother Six, what is this thing? It looks pretty, but is it edible?" Li Zhi walked over and looked it over, and found that the small ball inside looked like a glass bead, but it was translucent. Yes, it looks like stone sugar, but it is much more beautiful than stone sugar.

"Hey, this thing is actually similar to the stone honey you have eaten. It is made from a plant called sugarcane, but the one in my hand is called fruit sugar, which is decolorized. Add various fruit juices to make crystallization, and it is made, can you taste the difference in taste?" Li Yin said, opened the lid, and distributed a candy to each person.The kind of stone honey he mentioned is actually sucrose lumps from the Indian peninsula, which is the flake sugar of later generations.

"Mother Concubine, you should try it too, it tastes good!" Li Yin finished distributing it to Si Zi and the others, then walked to Concubine Yang with a smile, took out a piece and said, and put the sugar jar on her bedside.

"You, you don't do business all day long, but you are very good at eating and drinking!" Concubine Yang opened her mouth to put the candy in her mouth, but she still didn't forget to criticize Li Yin.

"Hey, my candy actually smells like oranges!" At this moment, Gao Yang, who was already a grown girl, shouted first.

"Sizi, this is apple-flavored!" Sizi's eyes lit up, and he rushed to Concubine Yang's side as he shouted, apparently wanting to ask Concubine Yang for some more.

"Grape! Grape!" The little girl from Xincheng ran over with her sister in a panic.

"Bah, Sixth Brother, why is this one I ate so sour? Is it already broken?" Li Zhi, a guy who has never had a good taste, spit out candy and said while taking a cold breath. It seems that his teeth are about to be sour. . (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
