At this time, Li Shanchang didn't know who to talk to. He was hesitating whether to say the name of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.

But I heard Zhu Yuanzhang sigh and said: "The only person I admire the most is Song Taizu. Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty obeyed the heaven and obeyed the people, unified the sea and the universe, promoted the world for three hundred years, and made the world civilized. He ruled the world with virtue and made peace for all generations.

Those who are!

Life in this world is as short as a fleeting moment, so those who want wealth only want to gather more money and have more entertainment to save future generations from poverty. It is better for you to release your military power and go to other places to build more fertile land and beautiful lands.

I want to build a house and build a permanent property for my children and grandchildren. At the same time, I will buy more singers and dancers, and we will drink and have fun together day and night. I will marry you again for the rest of my life. There will be no suspicion between the monarch and his ministers, and they will live in peace. Isn't this very good?

Okay!

These words back then could have been said by Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty or Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, but they may not have been able to do it. The emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty has a great reputation through the ages, which is enough for me to admire!"

Although it was already autumn at this time, after hearing these words, a chill flashed through Li Shanchang's heart, and he shuddered. He wanted to say something, but he was unwilling to do so, and it was difficult to make up his mind for the moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced sideways at Li Shanchang and saw that he was kneeling motionless. He frowned slightly and a murderous look flashed through his eyes. He sat back on the throne, snorted coldly and asked: "The Prime Minister is familiar with history books. He must know that Hou

Junji?"

Today, Li Shanchang felt that his brain was not enough, and he did not know how to answer the emperor's question.

Without waiting for Li Shanchang to answer, Zhu Yuanzhang muttered to himself: "Hou Junji was known as a brave man when he was young. During the war in the late Sui Dynasty, he followed the King of Qin Li Shimin to conquer the east and west, and made outstanding achievements. At that time, there were many heroes in the world, and he may not be Taizong in that world.

The emperor's, but the Hou Junji followed Emperor Taizong without hesitation. Isn't this exactly the same as the prime minister back then? "

Li Shanchang's lips moved, but he still gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked grim and continued: "After that, Emperor Taizong couldn't stand the prince and was forced by King Qi, so he launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident, killed his brothers, and forced the palace to seize the throne.

In the early morning of June 4, the ninth year of Takeori, Li Shimin led Hou Junji, Changsun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Yu Wenshiji, Gao Shilian, Cheng Zhijie, Qin Shubao, Duan Zhixuan, Qu Tutong, Zhang Shigui and others to launch an attack.

The Xuanwu Gate (the main entrance to the north of Taiji Palace in Chang'an) coup, ambushed the prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji. On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan appointed Li Shimin as the crown prince. How does this meritorious service compare to the Prime Minister's advice for me? "

Li Shanchang wanted to speak, but Zhu Yuanzhang stopped him.

He continued in a cold voice: "In the fourth year of Zhenguan, he served as the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and participated in the affairs of the court. He became a general, participated in the affairs of the court, and was praised at the time. From the twelfth to the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, Hou Junji

He was responsible for the conquest of Tubo and Gaochang, and won the great victory of pacifying Gaochang. Since then, Gaochang has been included in the Tang Dynasty. Is this contribution to the expansion of the territory great, compared with the contribution of the prime minister to stabilize the rear? "

This time, Li Shanchang was completely speechless. All he had was fear of the superior man in front of him.

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be immersed in his own words. After a long time, he sighed and said: "It doesn't matter if the Hou Jun gathers the most powerful ministers, but he relies on his merits to do politics, and his final end. The Prime Minister is familiar with the history books, so I don't need to tell you.

?”

The sweat on Li Shanchang's forehead dripped drop by drop on the floor. Now he knew Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions completely. He was so good at studying, how could he not know the fate of Hou Junji.

Hou Junji

When the Gaochang Kingdom was destroyed, they appointed officials on their own without asking the court. At the same time, they also plundered a large number of rare treasures privately. When the women and soldiers knew about it, they competed to steal it. Hou Junji was afraid that the incident would be exposed and did not dare to stop it. At this time,

Someone impeached him because of this matter, and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty issued an edict to imprison Hou Junji and others. Cen Wenwen, the minister of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, believed that the meritorious generals should not be humiliated lightly, so Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty followed the advice and exempted him from crime.

But he didn't know how to restrain himself, and later he fought with Zhang Liang, the governor of Luozhou. He was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and said: "I am so depressed that I can't live with you. How can I rebel? I should rebel against you!" Zhang Liang secretly played Hou Junji to incite rebellion. Tang Dynasty

Taizong thought that this was a chat between two people and could not be taken seriously, so he was exempted again. Tang Taizong treated him as always.

On February 28, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty ordered people to draw pictures of twenty-four heroes in Lingyan Pavilion. They were all life-size. Hou Junji was among them, ranking seventeenth.

But later, the Crown Prince Li Chengqian and the King of Wei Li Tai fought fiercely for the heir, and each had factions. Hou Junji thought that the Crown Prince was ignorant and incompetent, so he wanted to take advantage of him, so he persuaded Li Chengqian to rebel and joined Li Chengqian's rebel group. He once raised his hand to fight against

The prince said: "This good hand should be put to use."

Helan Chushi was also sent to Li Chengqian to say: "The King of Wei is in love, and if your Majesty is called upon, I am willing not to enter lightly." Li Chengqian agreed very much with this statement. He bribed Hou Junji and Zuotunwei Zhonglang General with heavy gifts, and stopped the army.

Li Anyan asked them to spy on Tang Taizong's thoughts and tell him if there was any movement.

Not long after, the Dongchuang Incident happened. Tang Taizong still didn't want to kill him, so he begged the civil and military officials: "The deceased's family and country are not in peace. You have shown your strength and can't bear to put him to justice. I will beg for his life, sir.

Do you allow me?" But the ministers all thought: "The crime of gathering the emperor is something that heaven and earth will not tolerate. Please punish him.

In order to understand the Dharma." Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty had no choice but to say to Hou Junji: "I said goodbye to the Duke, and now and then I see the portrait of the Duke!" He then sentenced Hou Junji to death. In memory of his merits, he kept his wife.

One son was exiled to Lingnan, leaving a little incense for him, while the rest of the family members suffered the punishment of clan execution.

"Thinking of all this, if Li Shanchang didn't understand Zhu Yuanzhang's intention, he would have lived in vain for so many years. Suddenly he lay on the ground with his hands and kowtowed. "I don't know your Majesty's intention. The crime deserves death, and the crime deserves death!"

Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief, and the sneer in his eyes flashed, and he said: "People often say that since ancient times, except for Song Taizu, all monarchs are like flying birds.

Is it true that a good bow is hidden, a cunning rabbit dies, a lackey cooks, and the powerful officials are slaughtered? Of course it is, but the world has never thought that the founding emperors of the past dynasties all relied on the assistance of their veterans to conquer the world from their horses. But

To conquer the world, these old ministers relied on their position, power and power to conquer the world.

Status, is it arrogant and perverse, is it arrogant because of favor? When the emperor ascends to the throne, he is not just the father of his old ministers, but the father of the world. Let me ask, a talented and strategic emperor will be arrogant because of a few favors. I don’t know

Are you advancing or retreating, arrogant and indulging the old ministers who have violated the law, and abandoning the support of the people of the world?"
