Chapter 1202

Dungeon!

The generals of the western expedition were dejected and lifeless. Once upon a time, they returned triumphantly with the victory of destroying the country, but now they have become prisoners, not to mention their official positions, and even their small lives are not guaranteed.

Only Hou Junji was still strong, and he didn't believe that Li Shimin would really kill the general who had just made the contribution to the destruction of the country. It was based on this self-confidence that when the overall situation of Gaochang had been determined, he would have the courage to embezzle Gaochang's property.

However, for many days, the court still locked them in the prison and didn't mean to let them out, which made Hou Junji a little more frightened.

"Squeak".

The gate of the prison was heavily opened and came in through a glimmer of light. The generals suddenly looked uneasily at the entrance of the prison. They saw that Li daozong, the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment, personally came to the prison.

"Lord Shangshu!"

"General Li!"

The generals of the western expedition hurriedly shouted

They knew that they had been in prison for many days, but there must be constant disputes in the court, and the situation was not clear, that is, no one tried them, and no senior officials appeared. Li daozong appeared in the prison, which showed that the court had reached a conclusion about their looting of Gaochang, otherwise Li daozong, the Minister of punishment, would not come to see them in person.

Li daozong looked at the crowd and said, "you are confused!"

All the generals were sad and ashamed.

Hou Junji's eyes flashed, and he heard a trace of the limelight from Li daozong's mouth. His face immediately changed, and he was ashamed and said, "sin has made Hou Junji a great mistake, whether it is punishment or murder, and his majesty can punish him."

"Excuse me, Minister!" the generals are also smart people. Naturally, they know that Li Shimin can get rid of his crime based on his previous feelings, otherwise they can only completely annoy Li Shimin.

Sure enough, Li daozong's words changed: "fortunately, your majesty reads the old love and allows you to atone for your sins. Please!" Li daozong stretched out his hand and said.

"Thank you, your majesty!" the generals of the western expedition breathed a sigh of relief and felt like they would survive.

"Thank you for your grace!" Hou Junji bowed deeply towards the palace, and other generals bowed one after another.

Li daozong looked at the performance of the ministers and nodded with satisfaction. However, he did not find a trace of evil in Hou Junji's eyes.

make amends for one 's crimes by good deeds!

Among the generals, only Hou Junji paid the most painful price, which was his hard won contribution to the destruction of the country. He originally wanted to go further and become an existence side by side with Li Jing, but now it has become empty talk,

Li daozong said that if he made atonement for his meritorious deeds, his hard won efforts to destroy the country may also be lost. What makes him even more depressed is that since then, with this stain, his political future has been ruined. I'm afraid he won't have this chance again if he wants to lead the army alone and regain his efforts to destroy the country in the future.

When the generals of the western expedition walked out of the prison and looked at the bright sunshine, they felt more awe of Li Shimin.

"Master, please step over the fire basin and have bad luck!"

Hou's house, Hou's tears of joy, put a brazier in front of the door. Hou Junji is the pillar of Hou's house. The return of the western expedition was originally the most glorious moment of Hou's house, but who ever thought of this thing. Now hou Junji returned safely. Hou was relieved. As long as Hou Junji was there, the glory and wealth of Hou's house could be preserved.

"Don't worry, madam. Your majesty will miss the old love most. I'll be fine for my husband."

Hou Junji did not refuse to step over and comfort his wife.

Hou wiped his eyes and said with tears, "husband, don't be spoiled and charming. This time, it's not Mo Hou speaking out in the court. Otherwise, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty will impeach your husband. Your majesty can't do anything even to read the old feelings."

"Mo Jia Zi!" Hou Junji frowned. He didn't think it was mo Jia Zi.

"Marquis Mo personally went to the Tai Chi hall to plead guilty, said that he failed to fulfill the righteousness of robe and Ze, urged his husband, and proposed to take this as a warning and reform the military system. Only then did he persuade his majesty to let his husband make atonement for his meritorious service..." Hou simply told the story of the court.

When Hou Junji heard this, he immediately frowned and said unhappily, "what a Mexican son, he stepped on my head."

This time, he took the lead in looting Gaochang and was directly impeached by the officials, but the Mohist school did the opposite. He obviously pleaded guilty for the generals of the western expedition, but in fact he played a role in reforming the military system. I'm afraid that from now on, his Hou Junji will become a negative example of the Mohist school.

Hou hurriedly advised: "husband, don't say so. No matter how, Mo Hou also saved his husband."

"Save me?" Hou Junji sneered. "The Mohist school is just fishing for fame and reputation. All the generals of the western expedition are in prison. He is alone and will certainly be criticized by the world, so he has to stand up. Now, he not only shows his innocence, but takes the opportunity to make contributions. It's killing two birds with one stone."

"But......" Hou knew his husband's character and wanted to persuade him again, but he was interrupted by Hou Junji.

"Needless to say, I'm tired for my husband and want to be quiet for a while!" Hou Junji said with a tired face.

Knowing Hou Junji's character, Hou sighed helplessly and got up to leave.

After Hou's departure, Hou Junji sighed, suddenly got up, came to a secret room, saw two exquisite gold mats, suddenly showed an angry look, brushed out his long knife and aimed at the two gold mats.

"If it weren't for these two vulgar things, how could our general fall into such a situation." Hou Junji was angry and wanted to destroy the two culprits.

However, when he really waved his knife, he couldn't do anything. After all, the golden mat was very valuable and exquisite. If it was damaged, there would be some gold wires left, and the loss would be heavy.

"Confucianists and Mohists don't have a good thing!" Hou Junji said angrily. Now that the matter has come to this point, even if he cuts the golden mat with a knife, he has lost too much. I'm afraid the golden mat in front of him will be the most valuable booty of his Western Expedition.

Finally, Hou Junji sighed dejectedly and walked out of the secret room. Behind him, two exquisite gold mats remained in the secret room.

However, Hou Junji did not know that the treasure was innocent. What really put him in this situation was his selfish and greedy character.

In the same secret room, Yu Zhining and Ma Jiayun were silent.

"It's the Mohist family's intervention that makes Confucianism fall short. Otherwise, it will certainly make the strategists look good by making an example of Hou Junji." Ma Jiayun hates to say that he is the most radical person in Confucianism. He has always wanted to suppress other hundred schools and maintain the status of Confucianism.

Yu Zhining shook his head and said with a smile, "although the strategists escaped this time, it is not without harvest. The method of reforming the military system proposed by Mo Jiazi is also a bridle tied to the strategists, and the arrogant momentum of the strategists is no longer the same."

Although the process was very tortuous, the goal of attacking strategists was finally completed. Whether Hou Junji was imprisoned or reformed the military system, Hou Junji left a lot of opportunities

"Next, it's the Mohist school."

The two people have a good look at each other. The momentum of the strategists has fallen. Next is the prevailing Mohist school. If you want to attack the Mohist school, the Mohist school is the key.
