Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 659

Li Shimin felt even more heartbroken because he had great expectations for Hou Junji.

What Hou Junji said was to show his loyalty, but more in fact, he was pleading for his hard work by sharing his credit.

He believed that Hou Junji was still loyal to him as the emperor, but he just hated Hou Junji for being so ineffective.

Hearing Hou Junji's sophistry, Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, since Chen Guogong believes that he has been wronged, I ask your Majesty to order a thorough investigation, to return Chen Guogong justice, and to quell the criticism!"

At this time, Hou Junji had the heart to strangle Wei Zheng to death, but Wei Zheng was a stubborn and meddlesome old man, so what's the matter with this old thing?

He was also very annoyed, who on earth revealed to this old stubborn Wei Zheng?

Which of the soldiers who went to war didn't get a lot of money?For this expedition, he can pat his chest and promise that he will not treat a soldier badly!Every soldier got more money than he deserved!

Who would take the risk to report him, Hou Junji?

Thinking of this, Hou Junji suddenly thought of a person, Su Cheng.

With the return of the soldiers of the Shenji Camp, Su Cheng must know some inside information. Although the camp of the soldiers of the Shenji Camp was stationed far away from the palace at that time, he could hear some inside information through hearsay.

Although he also prepared a grand gift for Su Cheng, Su Cheng sometimes treats money like dirt!After all, it was the master who donated hundreds of thousands of guan at will, and the various incomes of the family were like a flood of money.

So he thought of Su Cheng. It might be that those boxes of heavy gifts didn't impress Su Cheng, so Su Cheng revealed the news to Wei Zheng.

And when Wei Zheng, an old stubborn, heard the news, wouldn't it be the same as a wolf smelling blood?

Hou Junji said in a deep voice: "Master Wei doesn't believe what I say, Hou Junji? It's only been a few days since the army triumphed, and Master Wei insists on a thorough investigation, isn't he afraid of chilling the hearts of all the soldiers?"

Wei Zheng shook his head and said: "The clear is clear, and the turbid is turbid. Since someone criticizes it, it is questioning the generals who sent out the expedition. Only by thorough investigation can we find out the truth. If it is true, then your Majesty I have to give an explanation to the people of the world, if the criticism is false, then General Hou will be cleared, so what if the old man personally takes the blame?"

Do I really care about you, a bad old man, pleading guilty?Hou Junji's face was very gloomy.

Just when Hou Junji was about to speak, Yu Shinan stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I think what Mr. Wei said is very true. Since some people have accused General Hou of committing three major crimes, and these three crimes are not trivial, then I think it is still a serious crime." Good check."

Kong Yingda also came out and said: "Your Majesty, I also propose to investigate thoroughly, find out the truth, and give an explanation to the people of the world!"

A group of civil servants expressed their support for a thorough investigation, and Hou Junji's face became even more gloomy after hearing this.

Su Cheng watched quietly all the time, and he found that all the civil servants came out, and they all supported Wei Zheng's thorough investigation.

But the military commander was a bit calm. Li Jing and the others frowned, as if hesitating.

Because they knew that Wei Zheng's three major crimes in impeaching Hou Junji were not just speculation, but real facts.

The reason why they are hesitant at this moment is because they are not sure what His Majesty is thinking. After hearing about these three crimes, does His Majesty want to investigate thoroughly or not?

Cheng Yaojin yelled: "Where did these three crimes come from? We were at war with Gaochang, and the king of Gaochang fell off his horse and was injured. In addition, after destroying the country, he felt ashamed and died of a sudden illness. Is it normal? Why did it become a serious crime instead? Lao Hou didn’t issue a military order saying that King Gaochang must be captured alive and Guild Chang’an?”

Li Ji pondered: "Lu Guogong is right. When two countries fight, casualties are inevitable. Generals can die in battle. It is normal for King Gaochang to die in the war."

Yu Chigong and the others also joined in one after another, but they only talked about the matter of King Gaochang when they excused Hou Junji, and no one mentioned the matter of raising the treasure to King Chang's harem, because they all knew that there was no way to excuse it.

Su Cheng just watched calmly, and didn't get involved. Anyway, he felt that the matter had come to this point, and it all depended on Li Shimin's wishes.

So Su Cheng has been secretly observing Li Shimin's expression, only to find that there is no angry expression on Li Shimin's face.

Li Shimin didn't even pay much attention to the disputes between civil servants and generals. He frowned and turned his head to look at Eunuch Yao. Eunuch Yao immediately understood the holy meaning and said loudly: "Silence! Silence! No noise in the hall!"

All the ministers suddenly became quiet.

Li Shimin asked in a deep voice: "Wei Qing, where did your three crimes come from?"

Wei Zhenggong said: "I heard a report from a general who went to the expedition, and then I visited many generals in the army and felt that the facts were basically true, so I impeached Chen Guogong!"

Hou Junji felt a shock in his heart when he heard this, and he couldn't believe it. He was actually reported by the generals in the army?

Isn't it Su Cheng?

Or did Wei Zheng lie and conceal it?

No, it is impossible to lie with Wei Zheng's temperament, he would rather not tell a lie than lie.

It turned out to be a general in the army who reported him!

Who is it?It turned out to be so heartless!Has Hou Junji ever treated anyone badly?Didn't he get a lot of property?

Hou Junji said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have led the army thousands of miles away, and I have encountered various difficulties. It is difficult for me to keep a bowl of water level, so it is inevitable that some people will hate me and frame me!"

Li Shimin glanced at Hou Junji, and said in a deep voice: "Of course I believe in Hou Junji. He has been with me for so many years and has always been loyal to me. However, since there are criticisms, let's investigate thoroughly!"

Hou Junji's face changed dramatically when he heard this, he didn't expect the emperor to agree to Wei Zheng's request, to go to the end!

He knew very well that these things he did were not secretive, and in fact they couldn't be secretive. If he wanted to investigate thoroughly, it would be easy to find out clearly.

The emperor wants to investigate thoroughly, so the next question is who should investigate?

All civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were concerned about this issue, and Hou Junji was particularly concerned. If the emperor wanted Cheng Yaojin and other military officers to investigate, then they would definitely favor Hou Junji.

Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "My minister, Wei Zheng, please order to thoroughly investigate this matter, please allow your majesty!"

All civil servants nodded, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate for Wei Zheng to investigate thoroughly, after all, this matter was impeached by Wei Zheng, and Wei Zheng is known for his uprightness.

Hou Junji's heart sank when he heard this, it would be the most dangerous for Wei Zheng to investigate, because Wei Zheng would definitely find out the truth.

Cheng Yaojin and the others couldn't help but feel a little anxious when they heard this. After all, they and Hou Junji were comrades in arms, but they couldn't ask for orders to investigate.

Because they feel that it will be very difficult for them to check.
