Chapter 1046 The prince is cool

  Qin Lang patted Hou Junji's arm, "Hou Chengong, don't you harbor resentment?"

   "Don't dare."

  Hou Junji twitched his face, and quickly replied, this is a huge hole, he was a little slow to answer, if the surname Qin reported to the emperor, he might get a serious crime. Who dares to be dissatisfied with the emperor? If you harbor resentment towards the emperor, isn't that courting death?

Hou Junji, who had just narrowly escaped from death, now has a strong desire to survive, especially after seeing how those ferocious bull kings were castrated, and how his hope of life was crushed with a hammer, he is very fond of Qin Lang now. fear.

   This guy is so insidious.

  Qin Lang smiled.

"Xizhou is a very good location. I worked hard to get it for you. Originally, you were going to Lingnan or Nanzhong. Although we used to be friendly and had many political differences, we are both People from the Eastern Palace, you did dereliction of duty in the matter of Longyou, but it is not entirely your fault, I hope that you will gain wisdom through this incident, and go further in the future after this incident..."

  This is exactly the tone of an elder teaching a junior.

  In the past, Hou Junji would have turned his face immediately, but now, although he was dissatisfied, he no longer dared to refute.

He has just learned from Wei Chang that the status of the surnamed Qin has risen again, and now he is not only the school secretary and clerk, but also the prince Zhan Shi, the governor of Henan, and he was named the prince of Situjia and the prince of Wei Guogong. , There are three thousand households in the city.

  The emperor wanted to marry Qin Lang’s younger sister as Prince Liangdi for the crown prince...

After all, the surname Qin is a big mountain, he can't get over it, when his daughter Hou dies suddenly in the palace, he knows that if he is gone, he may surpass Qin Lang again. In the past, he hoped that his daughter would become the princess of the East Palace and the queen in the future , became the lord of the sixth house, and he also became the head of the country.

   But now his daughter died suddenly, and his grandson was adopted by the Su family, which has nothing to do with the Hou family. He was demoted to Xizhou, and he doesn't know if he can return to Luoyang in his life.

  Qin Lang looked at the disheartened Hou Junji, but what he thought in his heart was whether this guy would get a blessing in disguise after suffering this loss?

  If you lose your ambition at this point, maybe you can avoid the historical ending of rebellion and being killed. But it's hard to say for a person like Hou Junji, no one knows how long this guy can be stable, unless he really **** off his **** and smashed them in front of him.

Hou Junji, ah Hou Junji, one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Gong in history, in fact, at the beginning of Li Tang's founding, he did not have any credit, but he still made a lot of contributions in Zhenguan, and he died with Li Jing Tuyuhun, who later destroyed Gaochang by himself, made a lot of contributions, and he was considered the pinnacle of a warrior. In terms of merit, he was higher than Yuchi Gong and Qin Shubao.

   It's just that the ambition is too big, and it ends up killing itself.

   "Xizhou is far away, and the conditions are not as good as Chang'an and Luoyang. When you get there, you can drink cow's milk or camel's milk."

  Hou Junji was taken aback for a moment, then fell silent.

  Hou Junji has a habit of eating human milk.

  Once she is old, she wants to eat human milk like a baby. There are several wet nurses in the family, and they are all young and beautiful women who are specially searched for. They eat milk without expressing it.

Because there are too many wet nurses to eat, Hou Junji also asks the wet nurses to squeeze the unfinished human milk to feed the two young concubines he raised. These two concubines also eat three meals a day. Eat human milk, and also need human milk when washing your hair and taking a bath.

  In addition to other things, Hou Junji is also known for his arrogance, so boastful.

Proud and self-satisfied, false words, especially greedy and like to show off, Sanshui Hou's family is also a general of Guanlong. , the most extravagant, fortunately well-arranged, and greedy.

  After the change of Xuanwu Gate, the emperor generously rewarded Hou Junji, Yu Chigong, and Qin Lang, the three confidants who made great contributions at critical moments and did dirty work for him. Yu Chigong was rewarded with all the property of Yuanji, the king of Qi, and Hou Junji was rewarded with many other properties of the prince.

  Lao Hou and Hei Yuchi both became upstarts, but Hou Junji was not satisfied, he was greedy and took money whenever he had the opportunity, the emperor remembered his meritorious deeds, and did not punish him much.

   This guy then intensified and went too far.

It's just that in the Zhenguan Dynasty, the emperor was really kind to the heroes. Many heroes, such as Changsun Shunde, Duan Zhixuan and Liu Hongji, committed crimes such as embezzlement and embezzlement, but basically they were not severely punished. To peel your skin, the more heroes dare to commit crimes, the more merciless they are. Lao Li is still very good at this point.

   "I'll have someone send those two beauties to Duke Wei's mansion later, as well as those wet nurses." Lao Hou gritted his teeth.

   "I dare not accept this." Qin Lang refused with a smile.

There are so many beauties in the world, Qin Lang would not pick up Hou Junji's broken shoes, besides, this beauty who eats human breasts, after all, is intolerable in the eyes of righteous people like Wei Zheng, so this kind of thing can't be put on the table. It's best not to mess with her, just like the Xinxin he wanted from the East Palace back then.

  An unbelievably beautiful young man, but when Qin Lang came, he was not even allowed to be a schoolboy servant, and just hid in the snow.

  Qin Lang led Hou Junji to Shangyang Palace to face the saint.

  Goodbye, Junchen, Hou Junji knelt down and cried bitterly, blaming himself.

  Li Shimin had a gloomy face at first, but when he saw Hou Junji bled from knocking his head, slapped himself there with tears and snot running down his nose, saying that he had harmed the crown prince and that he was guilty of a sage, his heart softened for a while.

  Finally, the emperor pulled Hou Junji up himself, and after a long time without getting up, he kicked Hou Junji directly.

   "Thank you Qin Lang, if it weren't for Qin Lang, I might not be able to protect you. Do you know how many people in the court want to kill you?"

   "My minister is dead."

"Going to Xizhou was also proposed by Qin Lang. You can go to Xizhou to atone for your sins, do things with peace of mind, be a man of your own, and stop thinking about it, Hou Liangdi..." Li Shimin said with a sigh, "Forget it, the matter is over. This is over, as long as you behave well, I will still use you again."

   "When you go to Xizhou, don't communicate with the East Palace, and don't communicate with the ministers of the court, Wei Zheng..."

  The emperor stopped talking halfway, but the meaning revealed was obvious. In the past few years, Hou Junji was able to pay homage to the prime minister twice. In fact, in addition to the emperor's strong support, there was Wei Zheng behind him. Although Wei Zheng pursues the principle of non-party formation, in fact, how can he not have half an ally in the court.

  Wei Zheng strongly recommended Hou Junji, Du Zhenglun, Liu Ji, and Cen Wenwen in the court. Although there is no evidence that they formed cliques, Wei Zheng did strongly recommend them.

But now that the King of Wei left Beijing to become a vassal, Du Zhenglun was exiled from Beijing, Hou Junji only narrowly escaped death, Liu Jie was also released, and only Cen Wenwen was still in Beijing. It can be said that Wei Zheng almost lost himself this time. Being dismissed from the position of servant, if it wasn't for Qin Lang's strong protection, Wei Zheng would also be expelled from the center.

  Wei Zheng was almost expelled, but it was actually related to his small group being discovered by the emperor.

  Clicking it out now is to remind Hou Junji again.

Don't engage in any small circles with Wei Zheng, let alone get involved with the East Palace. Although the emperor tried his best to protect Chengqian, he now has higher demands on the crown prince. The incidents between Hou Junji and the crown prince before The emperor had no choice but to issue a restraining order to Hou Junji, prohibiting him from communicating with the East Palace.

Hearing this, Hou Junji knelt down again, embraced the emperor's thigh, and cried and worshiped, "I won't go to Xizhou anymore, and I don't have the face to go to Xizhou. I would like to go to Lingnan by myself, and I would like to go to Tiannan as a soldier, or go to Nanzhong, for the vanguard of Ping Barbarism, make atonement!"

   "Did the imperial court's resolution change just as it said? Get out, leave Luoyang today, get out of Xizhou early, I'm out of sight, out of mind, get out!"

   "The minister resigns!"

  Hou Junji knelt down and resigned, Li Shimin turned his back to him and never looked back.

   It was still Qin Lang who sent Hou Junji out of the palace.

   "Should I send Hou Chengong back to the mansion?"

   "The sage ordered me to leave Luoyang today, so I won't go home. After leaving the palace, I will go directly to Xizhou." Hou Junji wiped his face.

   "Also."

  Old Hou looked at Qin Lang and sighed, "No matter what, I still have to thank Duke Wei for saving his life."

"Thank you for what I did. In fact, I really want to beat you up, or even break your leg, but after all, you have made contributions to the country. I think we fought side by side in the past. It's a long way to go to Xizhou, so cherish it all the way." I just want to remind you that in recent years, Gaochang has been faintly dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty because of the re-opened Qinghai Road after the Great Tang Dynasty flattened the Tuyuhun, especially the fact that the trade route from Qiemo directly to Yanqi bypassed Gaochang, and was placed by the sage in The Turkic Yugu establishment near Gaochang is also in conflict with the imperial court. Now the situation there has become very delicate. If you go to Xizhou, you must not only defend Xizhou, but also set up Gaochang and Yugu for the imperial court. This force has been entangled and intimidated. If you handle it well, you will be able to return to the court soon, but if you fail..."

The old Hou gritted his teeth, "Little Gaochang dares to stab me? And that Yugu She just fled from Mobei to the Western Regions. I have to settle down in the Tang Dynasty to have a place to live, and dare to be dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty ? I will definitely clean them up after I pass by, and anyone who dares to disobey will destroy them!"

  Qin Lang chuckled.

   "Don't let people be destroyed. It's not a big deal for you to be destroyed, but if the country is humiliated because of this, it is your sin."

  ······

  Out of Shangyang Palace, beat the horse straight out of Luoyang City.

  Standing outside the Luoyang city gate, Hou Junji reined in his horse and looked back several times.

   But no one came to see him off.

   After a long time, Hou Junji bid farewell to Qin Lang in frustration and got on his horse to move forward.

  Qin Lang could guess that Hou Junji was probably waiting for the crown prince to take over the throne, but the crown prince never came, not even sending a servant to say anything.

  Thinking of his daughter's sudden death in the palace, his grandson adopting Su's name, and his own fate, Hou Junji must be feeling very sad, and he is probably also disheartened about Chengqian.

  Qin Lang didn't care, he wished Hou Junji could stay away from Donggong.

   "Why should Sanlang save this guy? He's just a white-eyed wolf. When Daigong taught him the art of war, he turned around and sued him for rebellion." Zhang Chao looked at Hou Junji's lonely back and asked Qin Lang in puzzlement.

   "It wasn't me who saved Hou Junji, it was the sage, and the sage just borrowed my hand through my mouth. Forget it, this scourge has finally left."

Zhang Chao looked around, saw no one around, leaned closer and said in a low voice, "The prince is cold enough, Hou Junji's fate is all because of him, not only did he not say a single good word for Hou Junji , and even now they don’t come here to give them away, they didn’t even send anyone over, and they didn’t say a word, so Hou Junji is probably heartbroken.”

  Qin Lang smiled, or how can I say that the most ruthless emperor's family, the prince began to become ruthless, which on the contrary shows that Cheng Qian has really begun to mature.

   It's just that Qin Lang doesn't like this kind of maturity.
