Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 665 Shameless

Since both Su Cheng and Ma Zhou found out this result, what else is there to investigate?

Wei Zheng bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Hou Junji was corrupt and broke the law, killed King Gaochang, insulted Princess Gaochang, ruined the reputation of the Tang Dynasty, and damaged the prestige of the emperor. Your Majesty begs Hou Junji to behead the world!"

hiss!Cheng Yaojin and the others couldn't help but gasp, they didn't expect Wei Zheng, an old man, to be so ruthless that he directly asked for Hou Junji's death!

Kong Yingda and the others also came out one after another and said, "Your Majesty, please punish Hou Junji severely!"

Li Shimin frowned immediately, this was the last result he wanted to see, and it was also the last result he wanted to face.

At this time Changsun Wuji came out and said: "I think Chen Guogong was also confused for a while. Chen Guogong followed His Majesty's saddle and horse and performed meritorious deeds. Although he made a big mistake in a moment of confusion, the crime is not worthy of death!"

Yuchi Gong exclaimed: "What you're talking about is, how can there be a victorious squadron who returns to the court but is severely punished? Isn't this chilling the hearts of all the soldiers?"

Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "The state has state laws, and the family has family rules. The Hou Junji has meritorious service, but don't your majesty and the imperial court reward him for his meritorious deeds? Rewards for meritorious deeds and punishments for demerits!"

While arguing endlessly in the hall, a young eunuch walked into the hall and said in a respectful voice: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness, please see me!"

The prince is here?Li Shimin said in a deep voice, "Xuan!"

Li Chengqian walked into the hall, and immediately felt the strong smell of gunpowder in the hall. His eyes swept across the crowd, and he was particularly surprised when he fell on Su Cheng.

He didn't expect that Su Cheng didn't excuse Hou Junji!

There were many times when he really couldn't figure out what Su Cheng was thinking!

When he wanted to get married, he still couldn't understand why Su Cheng reacted so much, and even made a big fuss at the expense of losing his job.

For example, this time, Su Cheng, as a noble general, shouldn't he be on Hou Junji's side properly?

It's not that Hou Junji committed some heinous crime!

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Father, I know that my father is trying the case of Hou Junji, and I happen to know something about it."

The people in the hall couldn't help being slightly startled when they heard this, the prince still knows the inside story?

What does the prince know?Su Cheng and Ma Zhou have already done a thorough investigation, so is there anything else they might miss?

Li Shimin frowned slightly, and asked, "Oh, Gao Ming, what do you know?"

Li Chengqian said in a respectful voice: "Returning to my father, I have also heard about the three major crimes of Mr. Wei's impeachment of Chen Guogong, and the second and third of which I do not agree with!"

"Second, Chen Guogong really threatened and tortured King Gaochang, it was to collect the seeds of the white jasmine flower, I think this should not be counted as Chen Guogong's crime!"

"As for the third article, I heard that it was Chen Guogong who was seduced by Princess Gaochang, so it is not Chen Guogong's fault!"

Su Cheng couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, Li Chengqian is really shameless enough to even say such things.

King Gaochang took the initiative to seduce Hou Junji?Just that bad old man Hou Junji?

Wei Zheng, Ma Zhou and the others couldn't help being slightly taken aback when they heard this, whether it was Hou Junji who was actively seduced by Princess Gaochang, it's really hard to check!

After all, the incident happened in the distant Gaochang country. Although they didn't believe it, they couldn't produce evidence to refute it.

Li Shimin nodded after hearing this, and said: "So that's the case, Hou Junji is really old-fashioned, he was actually seduced by the beauty of Princess Gaochang, I am really disappointed!"

Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this matter happened in Gaochang Kingdom, it is difficult to verify, whether or not Princess Gaochang took the initiative to seduce Hou Junji, Hou Junji has committed a serious crime!"

Li Chengqian pondered and said: "Father, Lord Wei, whether it is Hou Junji that Princess Gaochang took the initiative to seduce, Hou Junji's personal soldiers know best, just interrogate and it will be clear!"

Wei Zheng snorted, "Since they are Hou Junji's personal soldiers, it's hard to guarantee whether they will favor Hou Junji."

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Master Wei, although they are Hou Junji's personal soldiers, they are also subjects of the Emperor Father. I believe it is impossible for them to lie against the holy will."

"Father, in fact, I have asked about Hou Junji's soldiers, and it is indeed Hou Junji who was seduced by Princess Gaochang!"

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what he wanted to keep Hou Junji, but with these excuses, at least he didn't have to worry about Wei Zheng and others.

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "The three major crimes of Wei Zheng's impeachment, Hou Junji's persecution of Gaochang King in order to collect seeds, and the sudden death of Gaochang King, I don't think this is a crime. Princess Gaochang took the initiative to seduce, but Hou Junji still made a big mistake!"

"As for concealing property, there are indeed some. However, Hou Junji's crimes don't warrant death!"

"Over the years, Hou Junji has followed me on the saddle, and he has made contributions as well as hard work! However, those who make meritorious deeds should be rewarded, and those who have done wrong should be punished!"

"Hou Junji, although this expedition destroyed Gaochang Kingdom and collected tens of thousands of catties of white jasmine seeds, his virtues were at fault, his military exploits were lost, and the stolen goods were confiscated! Dismissed! Three years of salary! Three months of self-examination behind closed doors!"

Cheng Yaojin and others said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Shimin waved his sleeves: "Back off!"

Everyone filed out of the hall, Li Chengqian glanced at Su Cheng, flicked his sleeves and strode away.

Su Cheng looked at Li Chengqian's retreating back and couldn't help frowning slightly. Are Li Chengqian and Hou Junji still going to get together?

Cheng Yaojin grabbed Su Cheng and asked, "Did Ma Zhou give you some kind of ecstasy? Why didn't you speak for Lao Hou? Back then, Lao Hou repeatedly pleaded for you? Besides, Are we in the same group as Lao Hou?"

Are you with Lao Hou?don't!Lao Hou and I are not in the same group!Su Cheng said helplessly: "Uncle Cheng, didn't I also help him get back on the second charge?"

Yu Chigong shouted: "The second crime, do you still need your help to turn it around? It's mainly the third! Don't use your brain to think about it!"

Su Cheng sighed: "If Chen Guogong was just greedy for treasures and just killed Gaochang King, then I will help Chen Guogong no matter what, but Chen Guogong actually insulted Gaochang Princess. To be honest, I really feel disgusted!"

For Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and others, Su Cheng didn't say anything to refute, even if they went to tell Hou Junji, it didn't matter.

Besides, he felt that there was a high probability that Cheng Yaojin and the others would not tell Hou Junji these words. Of course, Su Cheng also understood that his relationship with Hou Junji was completely alienated.

Of course, Su Cheng didn't care.Although he had done a lot of psychological construction before and tried to convince himself, in the end he followed his own heart.

Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and the others didn't know what to say for a while, although they tried their best to excuse Hou Junji, but they also felt very contemptuous in their hearts, but they couldn't say it out.
