"Guanyin, am I wrong?"
Li Shimin held the hand of Empress Changsun a little dejectedly and asked, he was indeed a little confused.
Li Chao resigned, Ma Zhou resigned, Chen Shuda Xiao Yu also resigned, and now even Li Jing resigned without saying a word.
Empress Eldest Sun wanted to say, of course you were wrong.
But looking at her husband's frustrated appearance, it's not good to sprinkle salt on the wound.
As a wife, she always soothes her man's wounded heart.
"Maybe I'm wrong."
Li Shimin saw that Empress Changsun was silent, and sighed.
"Actually, Your Majesty doesn't have to compete, wasn't it good before, the emperor is sage, the prime ministers are virtuous, the monarchs and ministers are harmonious, and the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is thriving, how good is this."
Empress Eldest Sun's words suddenly woke up Li Shimin.
Yes, wasn't it good before, after the change of Xuanwumen, he took over the throne, and at that time, there were internal and external troubles, and the monarch and ministers were single-minded.
He is modest, courteous and virtuous, and reuses talents without sticking to one pattern.
Li Chao, Ma Zhou, Cen Wenwen, Wei Zheng, etc. can all be reused.
Everyone performs their duties and keeps their positions, although he is the emperor, he will not take the power of the prime minister.
In a few years, the Tang Dynasty has gone through the most difficult period, the catastrophe in the north, as well as the invasion of Tuyuhun and Turkic, etc., and also swept away the last few anti-kings in the world.
I don't know why, why do I have to compete with the prime ministers now?
Later, at Li Chao's suggestion, he set up the Privy Council and the North and South Offices to separate the military power from the prime minister under the Zhongshu Sect.
Speaking of which, the prime minister is in charge of the government, the privy councillor is in charge of the army, the son of heaven is in charge, and the president is in charge of the military government, all of which are very smooth.
Why did he suddenly fall out with Zhongshu and the Privy Council?
Is it inflated on its own Carefully examining himself, Li Shimin found that he had indeed swelled a little during this period of time.
The matter of Hou Junji is just a fuse, and what is really true is that he thinks that the prime minister's privy councillors divide his power and wants to seize the power.
He was not satisfied with the emperor and the prime minister ruling the world together, but wanted to dictate and centralize power.
In the current situation, the queen's words made him understand that he was still wrong.
He didn't even do as well as the young prince, and when the prince was in charge of the regent of the country, he kept his duty very well.
"I'll get out of here" Li Shimin got up and walked out, the eldest grandson Wuhou looked at her husband's somewhat gloomy back, a little distressed, but she also understood that there are some things that must be figured out by her husband himself, otherwise, the more anxious others are, the more they are afraid that they will backfire.
The husband is such a smart person, he is only temporarily confused, and he must be able to figure it out for himself.
Li Shimin came out from the eldest grandson, "Go to Dali Temple." ” Li Shimin was dressed in black civilian clothes, black soft feet, and arrived at Dali Temple in a light carriage.
He didn't even alarm Zheng Shanguo, the secretary of Dali Temple, and with the presence of the Wang eunuch, he went directly to the prison of Dali Temple.
"Hou Junji" In prison, Hou Junji's treatment is not bad, because he has become a national thief who has been criticized by the world, and Hou Junji's case has attracted the attention of the world.
Therefore, Dali Temple gave special care to Hou Junji, who was imprisoned, and enjoyed a separate prison.
Guarded by multiple layers of jailers inside and out, there is even a prison doctor in the cell.
Even the daily meals are checked by a special person to ensure that he will not have an accident in the prison of Dali Temple.
Twelve hours a day, someone is staring, and Hou Junji can't do it even if he wants to.
The bracelet and anklet have been on for three months.
The leg injury is almost healed, the leg is not healed, it is useless, and now it is lame.
However, compared with his leg injury, Hou Junji's most painful situation is his current situation.
The dignified hero of the Xuanwu Gate, the general of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army of the imperial court, and the actual title of the Duke of the country.
As a result, he has been in this dark dungeon for three months, and his body is almost hairy.
"Hou Junji" Another sound sounded.
This voice is so familiar, since he was framed by Li Chao's traitor and thrown into this dungeon, he has been waiting for this voice all the time.
At the beginning, the emperor once told him personally that he would save his life, and said that when the limelight was less, he would let him go to Nanzhao and be the protector of Zhennan.
Make some meritorious contributions over there, and in a few years, you will recall him back to the court.
He believed that the emperor would definitely protect him.
He not only saved the emperor during the Xuanwumen Incident, but also saved the emperor on the battlefield many times when the Sui Emperor was dying and dying.
The emperor is a person who misses his old feelings, and if he says to protect him, he will definitely protect him.

Moreover, he also received an iron coupon from the emperor to avoid death.
It's been three months.
He didn't know why the emperor hadn't come to save him, but since he wasn't dead, he still had a chance.
Li Chao, the traitor, was sentenced to be executed at the beginning.
"Your Majesty, the minister is here."
Hou Junji raised his head excitedly, the chains on his body trembled and clanged.
Li Shimin asked the jailer to open the cell door and walked in.
The prison was dark, warm, and smelled musty.
"Your Majesty, you have finally come to see the minister."
Hou Junji crawled to Li Shimin's feet, hugged his legs and cried.
A once fierce tiger general, but at this time he was really crying very sad and extremely aggrieved.
The leg was broken, Hou Junji didn't cry, he was sentenced by Li Chao, he didn't cry, he was thrown into the dungeon and didn't see the light of day, and he didn't cry.
But at this time, he couldn't help crying.
I cried very sadly and was heartbreaking.
Li Shimin looked down at Hou Junji and couldn't help sighing.
What a sturdy and burly general he was at the beginning, but now his hair is disheveled, and even his hair is a lot gray and thin.
"I've come to see you, Hou Junji."
"Your Majesty" "Get up and sit down."
Helping Hou Junji to sit down, Li Shimin's heart was a little blocked.
"Your Majesty is here to take the ministers out, right?"
Li Shimin did not answer, but beckoned outside, and Eunuch Wang personally came in with a food box.
"I'll have two drinks with you" Li Shimin picked up the wine jug, poured a glass by himself, and drank a glass first.
Hou Junji was surprised and hurriedly drank it all.
When the wine enters the throat, the familiar smell rises, refreshing.
"Eating vegetables" Li Shimin handed over the chopsticks, and Hou Junji hurriedly took them.
"Sauced beef, roast goose, smoked chicken, roast duck, money leg, sausage, dried fragrant and other cold dishes, I remember that you like to eat these, and they are all brought to you today."
Hou Junji looked at those tempting dishes, and his throat was about to stretch out his hand.
For three months, although I ate and drank every day, there was only wotou and porridge, and there was very little oil and water, not to mention meat and wine.
"You're welcome."
Hou Junji grabbed the roast chicken, unscrewed a chicken leg vigorously, and gnawed it violently, and in a moment he finished gnawing a big chicken leg, and then he tore off another one.
Li Shimin watched him eat and watched him gobble up.
He himself held his glass, drinking glass after glass.
Eunuch Wang came over and whispered to dissuade, "Your Majesty, you have a bad liver and stomach, so you shouldn't drink too much." ” "It's okay, I'll accompany Junji today and have a few more drinks."
"Come, Junji, drink."
Hou Junji grabbed the roast chicken leg with one hand, picked up the wine glass with the other, drank a cup in one gulp, and continued to nibble on the roast chicken.
"Junji, you have followed me for ten years."
Hou Junji nodded, it's been ten years.
From the beginning of the army in Taiyuan, he followed the emperor, fought in the south and the north, and fought in the east and west, and escorted many times.
"I remember that you saved me three times.
The battle of shallow water source during the expedition to Western Qin, the battle of Wujiaoguan during the fight against Dou Jiande, and the time of Xuanwumen, without your three rescues, I would have died a long time ago. ” "That's what a minister should do."
Li Shimin sighed, "Junji, you have the grace to save your life in Yu I, and you have also made great contributions to the country." ” "I've never forgotten that."
Hou Junji finished eating a roast chicken and grabbed another sausage.
"Your Majesty, the minister was just a pawn ten years ago, and it is the glory of the minister to be valued by His Majesty and selected as a guard.
From a pawn to a knight Chen Guogong and a general of the forbidden army, these are His Majesty's love and appreciation, and the minister never dares to forget. ” "Drink."
Li Shimin said.

"Junji, eat some more."
"Your Majesty, I'm full, I haven't eaten wine and meat for three months, and I can't eat much in this stomach."
Li Shimin picked up the wine glass and poured himself another glass, his amount of alcohol is average, he usually doesn't like to drink very much, and he has always been more self-controlled, but today, he has drunk five or six glasses in a row.
His face was red, and his eyes were red.
"Eat more and drink more, and if you have any wishes, you can also tell me."
The wine glass in Hou Junji's hand fell to the ground.
He was pale.
"Your Majesty" "Junji, you and I have a great contribution to the country, I don't want you to have a good result."
This was already very clear, Hou Junji's face turned pale, and then turned red.
His lips trembled.
"Your Majesty, why?"
"Because of the traitor Li Chao" Li Shimin shook his head, "Li Chao has already resigned, and Ma Zhou, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, well, and Li Jing."
He sighed, "You yourself are too angry, and you have been criticized all over the world, and everyone calls it a national thief."
Even if I want to protect you, but everyone in the world wants to kill you quickly, I can't protect you. ” "Your Majesty" Hou Junji shouted.
The eunuch stepped forward, and the guards behind him also came.
Li Shimin raised his hand and shook his head.
"Junji, I'm sorry for you, you eat and drink well and go on the road, if you have any last wishes, just say it, I will try my best to satisfy you."
Surprised, angry, and finally helpless.
"The minister has only one request, I hope that Your Majesty will be able to save the minister's wife and children based on the merits of the previous minister."
"Please forgive them, let them mourn for their ministers, and let them have a queen."
Li Shimin nodded.
"I promise you that I will not implicate your wife and children, and I will send them to Lingnan to settle down."
Hou Junji sighed, once he died, it would be good for his wife and children to live, and he didn't expect to keep his title and property.
"I don't forget the work of the heroes, you are really arrogant and arrogant, and you risk the law" Li Shimin sighed and got up to leave.
Hou Junji looked at Li Shimin's back and shouted Your Majesty.
Kneel down and kowtow three times.
Eunuch Wang came over with a jug of wine.
He looked at Hou Junji, "This is gold dust wine" Gold dust wine, the wine of the emperor's death.
Hou Junji smiled miserably, using gold dust instead of three-foot white silk can be regarded as a glory of identity.
Ordinary people are not qualified to drink this gold dust wine.
Picking up the wine jug and not taking the cup, Hou Junji raised his neck and drank it in a big gulp.
A jug of wine, quickly drained.
Gold dust wine is poisonous, this wine has gold dust in it, and gold is poisonous.
Compared to suicide by swallowing gold, drinking gold dust wine dies faster and less painfully.
After drinking the wine, after a while, the abdominal pain was like a twist.
Hou Junji shouted, "Li Chao dog thief, Lao Tzu will go first, and when you go underground, you won't let you go if you are a ghost."
After a few shouts, he was silent.
The eunuch looked down and saw that he was bleeding from all his orifices, and his eyes were wide open, but he was dead. t1706231537:
