During the Zhenguan period, the great figures who had famous names and surnames in history books were generally not born ordinary people, and Hou Junji was no exception.

His grandfather was the governor during the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which was equivalent to a ministerial-level cadre today.

After Li Yuan raised an army in Taiyuan to establish the Tang Dynasty, Hou Junji was the first group to join the Qin Palace and became a capable general under Li Shimin.

Although his contributions were incomparable to those of Li Jing, Qin Qiong and others, he also made military achievements in pacifying the Turks and destroyed Gaochang.

Even after Li Shimin ascended the throne, his name was among the five dukes who were first rewarded.

The other four are Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Yuchi Jingde and Du Ruhui.

Even the fierce men such as Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji, Qin Qiong, etc., became the Duke of the Tang Dynasty a period later than Hou Junji.

It is conceivable that Hou Junji made great contributions to the Xuanwu Gate Incident!

Because the first batch of people who rewarded Dukes were the ones who made the greatest contribution in the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

Unfortunately, success is Xiao He and failure are Xiao He!

Hou Junji believes that he has made great contributions to the founding of the country. Without him, it is hard to say whether Li Shimin can successfully ascend the throne.

So over the years, he has been very conceited and greedy for money. Especially after destroying Gaochang, he took the treasure he shouldn't have and was punished.

I am a great person who made great contributions to the country. Is he actually punished by taking some gold, silver and treasures?

In Hou Junji's heart, Li Shimin's image immediately collapsed!

In his opinion, Li Shimin is killing the donkey.

In this mentality, Hou Junji spent several years, and in these years, he was successfully attracted by Li Chengqian.

Or rather, he joined Li Chengqian's command.

At this moment, he was sitting in the sun with his wife with dark circles, listening to Hou Bao reporting to him about the recent business situation in the Hou Mansion.

"Aye, our Western trading company, since the fleet took a batch of goods to the sea, the stock price has rebounded. I think the house can buy another batch of ships to expand the scale of overseas trade. At that time, not only overseas trade can bring profits, but the appreciation of this stock will also make a lot of profits.

Hou Junji had no biological son, so he accepted a large number of adopted sons.

Some of these adopted sons were arranged in the army, some were arranged to be responsible for the commercial affairs of the Hou Mansion, and of course they were more of Hou Junji's personal guards.

And Hou Bao is really the person in charge of the business affairs of the Hou Mansion.

"Dalang, no matter how fast the stock is, the housing prices in the workshop city are not as fast as those in other people's workshops. Before, you asked you to imitate Nanshan Construction and build a workshop that specializes in building houses. How did you arrange it?"

Hou Junji has always been unable to sleep well recently. The more he wants to sleep, the more he can't sleep well.

So he started to find something for himself.

Let Hou Bao organize people to build a house, even if it is something he is more concerned about recently.

"Aye, the arrangement has been almost done. We recruited a group of personnel from Nanshan Construction and other places as backbone, and then found a group of craftsmen to fill it in. As long as we buy the land, we can start building the house."

"This matter should not be too late, and you should move more accurately!"

I don’t know if it was the influence of the lazy sun or because I didn’t sleep well, Hou Junji was a little uninspired.

"Husband, Dalang is the most secure in doing things. You have nothing to worry about. During this period, I see that you often can't sleep. Is there anything you hide from me?"

Mrs. Hou, who was standing beside her, asked with a little distress when she saw Hou Junji's distracted look.

"Aye, I saw a thousand-year-old ginseng in Zhenbao Pavilion yesterday. I will buy it back to give you some replenishment! That ginseng is the most beneficial to the body after replenishing qi and blood.

Hou Bao also expressed his concern in a timely manner.

"No, you can go ahead!"

Hou Junji waved his hand and signaled that Hou Bao could leave.

"Husband, you are an important official in the court. If you have done anything that is sorry to the Tang Dynasty, then explain to Your Majesty in time so that you can protect yourself and our Hou family!"

When Hou Bao left, Mrs. Hou couldn't help but persuade him again.

Although there has been no indescribable movement between them, the old couple has the most accurate grasp of each other's psychology.

Hou Junji made a mistake in Gaochang.

When Mrs. Hou saw his recent performance, she guessed that Hou Junji must have done something that was sorry for the Tang Dynasty.

But with the information she had, she couldn't guess what Hou Junji had done.

"What can I do to be sorry to the court? Don't be suspicious all day long and scare yourself there."

"But you have been unable to sleep at night lately, and it was not like this before."

"That's why I'm worried about the future and the future of our Hou family!"

As soon as Hou Junji finished speaking, he saw Hou Bao running back in panic.

"What's wrong? Have you forgotten to say anything?"

Hou Junji was a little unhappy when he saw Hou Bao's panic.

Mountain Tai collapsed before it remained unchanged!

This is the goal that Hou Junji has always pursued. Although he can't do it himself, he hopes that Hou Bao and the others can do it.

"Aye, there are people outside!"

"Hmm? Why are you so brave to come to my Duke Chen to cause trouble?"

Hou Junji sat up suddenly, his face full of anger.

Because of his unsatisfactory years, Hou Junji's temper has become much worse.

Well, in fact, his temper has never been better.

"Cheng Yaojin! Cheng Yaojin and a large number of troops surrounded our Duke Chen's mansion!"

After Hou Bao said this, Hou Junji's face suddenly changed.

He has always thought that Li Chengqian's level was too poor and was worried about following Li Jiancheng's retreat, so he persuaded him to rebel.

When Li Chengqian agreed to his suggestion, Hou Junji was worried that the news would be leaked, so he often couldn't sleep.

Now that Cheng Yaojin led his troops to surround his mansion, Hou Junji immediately knew that something was wrong.

"The day before yesterday, Hegan Chengji from the Eastern Palace was taken away by the Ministry of Justice. Now Cheng Yaojin has come with his troops. It seems that something must have happened here!"

Hou Junji thought quickly in his heart.

"Hou Junji! If you have a way in heaven, you don't go, and if you don't have a way in hell, you just want to break through! Your Majesty treats you well, why are you so heartless?"

Before Hou Junji could figure out what was going on, Cheng Yaojin took the lead and broke in.

Although they are old acquaintances, their friendship is very ordinary.

In fact, Hou Junji has a fair relationship with anyone.

"Cheng Yaojin! Don't talk sarcastic things there! If you have any, just say it!"

Hou Junji had the last trace of luck in his heart, and wanted to hear why Cheng Yaojin came.

"Hmph! You made great contributions to the Xuanwu Gate Incident, why? Do you want to make another contribution again? If you don't know what you do, you can do it safely. As long as you look for opportunities, you can control the Daming Palace and support the crown prince ascending the throne! Haha! No wonder Duke Wei said that you had a backbone behind your head!"

Cheng Yaojin knew that Hou Junji was over this time!

Even if Li Shimin was thinking about his old love and didn't want his life, the ministers in the court would not agree.

"The king succeeds and the enemy defeats! You can say whatever you want!"

After Hou Junji said this, his face turned gray.

"Husband, you...you really did something sorry for Your Majesty? How could you do this? Didn't I tell you to ask you to go to Your Majesty to admit your mistake earlier? Why didn't you listen to my advice?"

Mrs. Hou also realized what had happened at this time.

"Woman's opinion! Can such a thing be solved by admitting mistakes?"

After all, he was a figure on the Tang Dynasty hero list. Hou Junji was not scared to have a urination. Instead, he seemed to be trying to kill him and cut him off.

"Take Hou Junji back to Daming Palace, and no one else is allowed to leave Duke Chen's mansion, otherwise he will be killed without mercy!"

Cheng Yaojin was too lazy to talk nonsense to Hou Junji and just handed over someone to work!

...

"That's how it is. Your Majesty has arranged personnel to surround the East Palace and Duke Chen's mansion."

In Xuanzheng Hall, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Xiao Yu, Li Ji, Cen Wenben, Sun Fujia and other ministers had arrived, and Liu Dewei explained the situation again at the request of Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, this is just a one-sided statement from Hegan Chengji. Whether it is true or false, it still needs to be confirmed!"

Fang Xuanling stood up first.

At this moment, no matter what his true thoughts were, he must speak from Li Shimin's perspective.

No matter how disappointed Li Shimin is with Li Chengqian, he definitely does not want to see Li Chengqian rebellion.

"Gao Ming has always been indecisive in his work. Such a big rebellion is not like a plan he can come up with."

Although Changsun Wuji no longer supports Li Chengqian, he is willing to say a few more good things for Li Chengqian at this time.

Anyway, no matter how much good things are said, it is impossible to keep Li Chengqian's position as crown prince.
