Outside the Tai Chi Hall, Li Er met Hou Junji.

He was dressed in military uniform and had a weak face.

Hou Junji seemed to have never smiled. In Li Er's impression, Hou Junji's smile was very vague. He was too scheming and thought too much. He stretched out his hand to signal the person behind him to retreat. Li Er nodded lightly to Hou Junji and asked softly.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Hou Junji shook his head and said nothing. This was already a very rude action that had not made Li Er dissatisfied. He walked past Hou Junji and pushed open the door and walked into the hall, and Hou Junji followed him into the hall.

Li Er pointed to the seat and signaled that Hou Junji could sit down. Hou Junji thought about it and refused to sit down. He stood in the hall with a straight head. Li Er didn't care either, but a look of dissatisfaction appeared on the toad's face.

Hou Junji turned a blind eye to Dai Changqing, as if he and Li Er were the only ones in this hall.

Li Er tapped the desk gently with his fingers, as if he was very leisurely. Hou Junji stood in the hall without saying a word. After a stick of incense, Li Er whispered.

"In the battle of Gaochang, you remember your first achievements and attack Gaochang with light equipment, and caught the opponent off guard. I am very pleased. Looking back, you didn't have such ability when you first joined my command. When you reward you, I would also like to thank Li Jing and Yuchi Gong. Without their teachings, there would be no Hou Junji today."

After these words, Li Er raised his head and looked at Hou Junji with many meanings. The latter was silent for a moment without saying anything.

Li Er smiled dryly and continued.

"It is a contribution to the extermination of Gaochang. Duke Chen of the Tang Dynasty is really powerful, Hou Junji! Do you have something to say to me?"

"I have nothing to say! Today's entry into the palace is a routine matter of the end of the war."

Hou Junji said the first sentence, with no emotional fluctuations in his tone, and no change in his expression. This time Li Er nodded, not taking Hou Junji's rudeness to heart, and continued to tap the table, but this time the speed became faster.

The muffled sounds caused a slight change in Hou Junji's expression. Just as he was about to speak, Li Er stopped the movement in his hand and took out a memorial to open it.

"Hou Junji has made great contributions to the suppression of Gaochang, but without His Majesty's permission, he privately imposed tens of thousands of innocent people in Gaochang. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk

Hou Junji's expression still did not change. If other generals were impeached like this, they would have been frightened, but Hou Junji did not. He looked at His Majesty indifferently and said in a deep voice.

"A gentleman and the people should deal with crimes with crimes to serve as a warning. Gaochang is far from Chang'an. If this is not the case, people will definitely be lucky and there will be rebellion in the future."

"This statement makes sense! My Duke Chen is far from thinking!"

Li Er spoke loudly and praised, and a hint of pride appeared in Hou Junji's eyes, but then Li Er took out another memorial. This time he did not open it, and pointed at the memorial.

"This memorial comes from the Censorate. The memorial impeached you to be greedy for the treasures of Gaochang. The secretly kicked into your pocket. After your soldiers learned about it, they began to plunder Gaochang, just like bandits in the mountains. If you dare not punish them, you will suppress this matter. What explanation will you give!"

"I am guilty, but this matter is not a precedent set by me. When the Marquis of Zhiming captured Liangzhou, he swallowed the treasures of King Liang and distributed them to his soldiers. Your Majesty did not seem to have punished the Marquis of Zhiming back then, so I thought it was Your Majesty who secretly allowed this because of the hard work of the soldiers."

"Well, it makes sense, it makes sense. If Wei Wuliang is like this, I will not punish you, Hou Junji, and you can't punish you?"

Li Er got up and kicked the desk in front of him, and the memorials were scattered all over the ground. Hou Junji's words completely annoyed Li Er. He walked down the steps and came to Hou Junji's side, stretched out his finger and poked Hou Junji's chest, glaring and scolding.

"Liangzhou was Wei Wuliang and Li Yuanchang fighting. At that time, I told the world that this was a grudge between the two. I could not favor him because Li Yuanchang was my younger brother, but I could not stand by death and refuse to save him. In the end, the two broke out in a war due to personal grudges. If Wei Wuliang did not swallow all the money of the infamous general Li Yuanchang and handed over to me, what would happen? It was the people in the world who scolded me, Li Shimin and ordered Wei Wuliang to kill Li Yuanchang. Your battle in Gaochang was my will. What would you compare with Wei Wuliang?"

Li Er would poke Hou Junji's chest with his fingers without saying a word. It was extremely powerful. Hou Junji ignored the fingers on his chest and frowned and looked at Li Er.

"Your Majesty thinks Hou Junji is not as good as Wei Wuliang? The ministers in Xuanwu Gate charge at the forefront, and the ministers in Tuyuhun pursued thousands of miles, which made the enemy frightened. Gaochang fought against Gaochang at an unprecedented speed. Your Majesty, do you think Hou Junji is not as good as Wei Wuliang? I will conquer you and wipe out the barbarians. Isn't it about your Majesty, you can treat me, and you don't want to be on an equal footing with Wei Wuliang. I just want to tell Your Majesty that Hou Junji is also intent, and Hou Junji also hopes to get your Majesty's glass of wine, and get your Majesty hugged me and laughed and said to drink this cup."

Li Er's movement stopped, and his eyes were filled with disappointment when he looked at Hou Junji. For a moment, Li Er became lonely and turned around and walked towards the dragon throne. Everyone had their own way of treating Wei Wuliang the most. He treated Cheng Yaojin with no rules. The biggest Yuchi Gong used force to suppress him, and the same treatment was to inspire him to move forward.

Everyone could see Li Er’s thoughts, but only Hou Junji could not.

Did he give him little reward?

After resigning as Minister of War, the Ministry of War was still the final say of Hou Junji. He was granted the title of governor of Chenzhou and promoted to Duke of Chen. He was a military general who could participate in the affairs of the doctor. Is it not enough that all this? Hou Junji enjoyed substantial rewards, but Wei Wuliang's dispensable official position and verbal rewards.

But why did Hou Junji keep an eye on these verbal rewards?

Li Er took a deep breath after taking a seat.

"I'm just talking about why I'm disappointed with you. Who taught you the way of leading troops with your military tactics? Is it Li Jing? When you first entered the Qin Palace, you were very arrogant and boasted about how you did it. As a result, you were not as good as Qin Shubao in archery, not as good as Yuchi Gong in Wuyi, and not as good as Cheng Yaojin in life. It's a mess. Li Jing saw that you were a talent that can be made, so he came to me specifically and said that he wanted to cultivate you. I agree, and see how you treated Li Jing in the end? Because he had hidden some military tactics that he had not taught you, you kept writing letters to impeach him and bewitched officials to impeach him, resulting in Li Jing hiding at home without seeing guests and not going out. Is this your way of gratitude for Hou Junji?"

"He blamed it for himself."

"It's your own fault? Well! Li Jing did make too much contribution. He has never been defeated since he went to the expedition. You are not convinced and think that many of his military tactics have not been taught to you, but when did Fang Xuanling provoke you? Since Du Ruhui passed away, you have been impeaching Fang Xuanling. Who taught you to read and read? You are ungrateful and arrogant. Come! Hurry Hou Junji into a prison!"

Hou Junji took a deep breath, and he knew that he could not escape this day.
