    "Although Hou Junji made great achievements during this expedition to Gaochang, he also made great mistakes. Therefore, I decided to temporarily relieve him from his military position, and then"

    Looking at the excited civil and military officials, Li Shimin finally made up his mind to arrest Hou Junji and imprison him first, and then convict him after trial.  But before he finished speaking, he saw Li Min standing up suddenly, taking a few steps forward and saying, "Father, please calm down. I think that although General Hou is at fault, he is understandable. After all, Xizhou Heting  The state is far away from the Central Plains, and it is easy for the military to be unstable. General Hou mishandled it this time, which led to the problem of military discipline being corrupted. Although it is also a serious crime, I hope that my father can make him use his merits and reduce his punishment!"

    Seeing Li Min interceding for Hou Junji, not only Li Shimin was stunned, but other civil and military officials were also very surprised, because Li Min rarely took the initiative to express opinions on these major military and political matters, unless Li Shimin asked him, and he and Hou  Jun Ji was a person who could not even get along with each other, and now he suddenly came forward to intercede for him, which surprised everyone.

    In fact, Li Min was also smiling bitterly in his heart, because he knew that it was precisely because of this incident that Hou Junji was convicted and imprisoned. Although he was later acquitted, he did not receive any promotion. This made him very dissatisfied, and later he was even more dissatisfied.  Prince Li Chengqian came together, and the reason why Li Chengqian had the courage to rebel was because he had Hou Junji as his biggest support.

    Although the relationship between Li Min and Li Chengqian is not good, even when Li Min's reputation was damaged last time, the other party added insult to injury. It can be said that the two are still in an opposing position.  But nevertheless.  Li Min also didn't want to see the other party being exiled for rebelling. This was not because he wanted to kill a good person, but because he didn't want the Tang Dynasty's regime to suffer too much fluctuation. After all, if Li Chengqian rebelled, a large number of people would definitely be implicated.  There will also be violent turmoil in the court situation, and even his development plans will be affected, so if it can reduce the possibility of Li Chengqian's rebellion, then he will try his best to give it a try.

    But Li Shimin also got really angry this time, and after being exposed by Confucian Daily News.  The trouble had become known to the whole world. If Hou Junji was not punished, the majesty of the court would not be shown, so in the end he did not agree to Li Min's plea.  Still speaking, he said: "King Qi, you no longer need to excuse Hou Junji. I have made up my mind and will immediately send someone to escort Hou Junji back to Chang'an!"

    After speaking, Li Shimin flicked his robe sleeves, announced his withdrawal from the court, then turned and left the Tai Chi Hall.  When the civil and military officials below saw His Majesty leaving, they immediately gathered in groups and discussed today's events as they walked outside.  Li Min's strange reaction today also aroused the curiosity of many people, such as Xiao Yu, Xu Jingzong and other closely related ministers.  At this time, they all found Li Min and wanted to know more about it. Unfortunately, Li Min didn't know how to explain it, so he had to be vague and confused.

    After finally sending Xiao Yu and others away, Li Min wiped his sweat and was about to leave. But as soon as he left the gate of Tai Chi Hall, a man came out and grabbed his arm and said, "Liu Lang, you are a marquis today."  Jun Ji¡¯s plea for mercy must have a deeper meaning, right?¡±

    Li Min turned around and found that the person who caught him was none other than Wei Gong Li Jing.  The old man and Hou Junji were not on the same page, but he behaved like a gentleman in the court today and did not do anything to add insult to injury.  Li Min looked at the other party's smiling face, and immediately asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Mr. Wei, this junior just feels that General Hou is a little aggrieved. How can there be any deeper meaning?"

    "Hehe, lying to an elder. This is not what a gentleman would do!" Li Jing had obviously discovered something, and the smile on his face looked sinister.

    Looking at the other party¡¯s expression, Li Min was also surprised. Could it be that Li Jing, an old fox, had already guessed something?  Thinking of this, he asked hesitantly: "Mr. Wei, I really don't understand what you are talking about?"

    Although Li Min was still denying it, Li Jing was not angry at all. He let go of his arm and said with a smile: "Liu Lang, do you want to save Hou Junji's life?"

    "What does Duke Wei mean? Although General Hou made a big mistake, he didn't lose his life, right?" Li Min was still pretending to be stupid.

    "Haha, why should Liulang pretend to be confused? Although Hou Junji will be fine this time, with his temperament, he will definitely be dissatisfied with His Majesty. As long as there is a chance in the future, he will definitely make some unwise move, so I conclude  , As long as he doesn't change his temper, he will definitely not escape!" Li Jing stopped beating around the bush with Li Min and directly expressed his guess.

    Li Min was shocked after hearing this. The person who knew him best was indeed his enemy. Based on his understanding of Hou Junji's character, Li Jing had actually guessed the opponent's final fate.  But it is a pity that no matter how vicious Li Jing's eyes were, he would never have guessed that in the end Hou Junhui and Li Chengqian colluded to rebel. As a result, not only did he lose his reputation, but he also implicated many people.

    "Gong Wei has good eyesight. This junior really can't bear to see"?Datang lost a general!  "Li Min said in a smooth tone. Anyway, he still lacked a reason to fool others, so the one Li Jing sent him was quite good.

    "Haha, Rokuro, don't be pity. Our military academy will start soon. Under the guidance of the old man and King Hejian, we don't know how many future famous people will graduate from there, so there is no need to fight for a Hou Jun.  Just focus on it!" Li Jing saw Li Min nodding and couldn't help but said very proudly. The old man really thought he had guessed all the other party's thoughts.

    Hearing the other party mention the military academy, Li Min couldn't help but feel a little hopeful. Some time ago, due to the autumn harvest, the construction of the military academy was somewhat affected, but now the project progress has been accelerated and we strive to complete it before the end of the year, and then officially start school after the new year.  , and whether they are teachers or students, Li Xiaogong and Li Jing have already completed preparations, and have begun preliminary teaching in a temporary place. I heard that the effect is not bad.

    After chatting with Li Jing about the military academy again, Li Min took his leave. However, he did not go back home. Instead, he went to Concubine Yang because the day after tomorrow was the full moon of the little guy Sheng Ping. At that time, Li Shimin would not only entertain everyone  He was a minister, and he would also tell the world about Shengping's title, so Li Min wanted to go and see the little guy first.

    Concubine Yang was not yet out of confinement and was still living in the birth pavilion. When Li Min went in, he found that the birth pavilion was very lively. Sizi, Li Zhi, Qinghe and other younger princes and princesses were all there.  Playing with little Shengping on the crib.  Concubine Yang was leaning on the bed, looking at her with a smile and saying nothing.

    Li Zhi and the others¡¯ attention was all on Shengping, and they didn¡¯t notice Li Min coming in at first.  And Li Min didn't remind them. He walked over quietly, looked at the little guys, and found that Sizi and his sister Xincheng were each holding a rattle, dangling in Shengping's face, and Shengping, the little guy,  The guy stretched out his white and tender little hands, apparently trying to grab the rattles in the hands of the two sisters, but her hands didn't obey the instructions at all, and she moved left and right without any accuracy. Such a clumsy look naturally made her angry.  They laughed loudly.

    Li Min watched with interest from behind. He walked over and snatched the two rattles from behind Si Zi and Xincheng, and then stuffed them into Shengping's hands. As a result, the little girl shook her head twice and found that she could hear a crisp sound, so she became even more excited.  He opened his toothless mouth and laughed while waving his little arms.

    "Sixth brother, you are so bad. You rob Sizi and sister's things as soon as you come here!" Sizi turned around and saw that it was Li Min, and immediately pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly.  Sizi is five years old this year. Although she is only a little taller, she seems to be a lot more sensible. However, she still likes to act coquettishly when facing the sixth brother who loves her the most.

    "Hello, Sixth Brother, I want to eat!" Xincheng was originally Li Shimin's youngest daughter, but now the title is Shengping, and she is finally a sister, but this Shengping's little sister is only three years old. She usually meets Li Shimin  Zhen either wants snacks or toys.

    "Haha, you two, don't make trouble. Brother Six, I brought you some new snacks today. Let's see if you like them?" Li Min said, taking out a glass jar from his sleeves, with some colorful snacks in it.  Small round ball.

    "Brother Six, what is this? It looks pretty, but can it be eaten?" Li Zhi came over and looked at it, and found that the small ball inside looked like a glass bead, but it was translucent.  Yes, it looks like rock candy, but it is much prettier than rock candy.

    "Hehe, this thing is actually similar to the stone honey you have eaten. It is made from the juice of a plant called sugar cane. The only difference is that the one I have in my hand is called fruit sugar. It has been removed from the color and then added  It is made by adding various fruit juices and crystallizing them. Can you try the difference in taste?" Li Min said, opening the lid and giving each person a candy.  The kind of stone honey he mentioned was actually the sucrose block brought from the Indian peninsula, which was also known as flake sugar in later generations.

    "Concubine, you should try it too, it tastes pretty good!" After Li Min gave it to Si Zi and the others, he walked to Concubine Yang with a smile, took out a piece and said, and put the sugar jar on her bedside.

    "You, you don't do your job all day long, but you are very good at eating and drinking!" Concubine Yang opened her mouth and held the candy in her mouth, but she still did not forget to scold Li Min.

    "Hey, my candy actually tastes like orange!" At this moment, Gao Yang, who was already a grown-up girl, took the lead in shouting.

    "Si Zi, this one is apple flavored!" Si Zi's eyes lit up, and he shouted as he rushed to Concubine Yang, apparently wanting to ask Concubine Yang for a few more.

    "Grapes! Grapes!" The little girl from Xincheng also ran over with her sister in a hurry.

    "Bah, Sixth Brother, why is the one I eat so sour? Is it bad?" Li Zhi, a guy who has never had a good taste, spit out the candy and said while sucking in the cold air, it looks likeZiya was almost overcome with acid.

    ,please.
