Chapter 551: The narrow-minded Hou Junji

During the next period, Shi Lei's itinerary was full of energy. He had to go out to visit the nobles here almost every day, or gather with friends of the same age. I don't know if it was frequent travel, which allowed Shi Lei to quickly adapt to the environment in Chang'an, or the relaxed and happy atmosphere of staying with his friends, alleviating Shi Lei's anxiety. In short, Shi Lei's worries were much less during this period.

In addition, he has been paying attention to the situation in Chang'an, but it is as calm as usual. Shi Lei did not want to make everyone nervous, so he temporarily announced that the state of war readiness was lifted. Although he still couldn't become relaxed in peace, he also lowered the alert level by one level, and reached an ordinary alert state where safety needs to be paid attention to.

In this way, everyone is just paying more attention than usual to whether there are any abnormalities. They also need to appropriately reduce unnecessary activities and reduce the possibility of exposure, but there is no need to be more panic and the grass and trees are all in the army, and the mental pressure will undoubtedly be much smaller.

After this period of time, Shi Lei's life became really free. Shi Lei also enjoyed this kind of comfort and indifference with nothing. This feeling really made Shi Lei enjoy it very much. This is the beautiful life he has always yearned for.

Every day, your wife and children are warm on the bed, so you don’t have to worry about three meals a day, let alone worry about not being able to provide the best conditions for the children. You just need to enjoy all the existing beauty with peace of mind.

Of course, Shi Lei would not completely relax because of this. Apart from Li Zhi's affairs, he always stayed in his heart like a thorn, he never gave up and practiced his martial arts. He would take a certain amount of time every day to lead his children to practice martial arts together.

From time to time, he would also teach Shi Yu the most proud skills and experience in empty-hand fighting to this strong eldest son. Moreover, the target of feeding him is not fixed, and he would often change guards of different ways, or even special forces members to come over, so that he could better increase Shi Yu's combat experience.

It is undoubtedly a very happy thing to accompany the children and witness their growth bit by bit. This leisurely little life will naturally be particularly quick.

Before I could feel the passage of time, good news came from over there. The unbeaten army of the Tang Dynasty once again continued its glory and successfully defeated Gaochang.

For the Tang Dynasty today, such victory seems to be a natural feeling. From emperors and nobles to ordinary people, such victory is already commonplace.

Although Gaochang was considered a powerful country among the countries in the Western Regions, and he also controlled the lifeblood of the Silk Road and developed rapidly, they obviously overestimated their abilities and combat power. They didn't know what they had to do, but they even thought of resisting the majesty of the Tang Dynasty and even made some harsh words.

What happened? In front of the Tang army that had been through a long battle, they were not as fragile as a helpless child. I heard that the old king was scared to death when facing the Tang army.

General Hou was quite kind and righteous. He did not attack Gaochang during the period of the old king's memorial service. Then his young successor honestly offered up the city. Compared to the arrogant old king, this person was obviously more self-aware.

Although this victory seemed to have come a little easier, no one was too surprised. After all, I was used to the invincible state of the Tang Dynasty. It may be that if the Tang Dynasty failed one day, everyone would be surprised, but the celebrations that should be held must not be missed.

The people of the Tang Dynasty, like Li Shimin, who loves to show off, were eager to make every victory of the Tang Dynasty known to everyone. There were also many spontaneous or official celebrations.

But to everyone's surprise, General Hou Junji, who worked hard and made great contributions, not only did not receive the rewards for this, but was sent to jail instead.

There are people who are in private to speak out for him, but His Majesty is famous for his current wiseness. Is this kind of thing a jealous person deliberately accusing General Hou?

However, people like Shi Lei and Cheng Yaojin who really understand the inside story don’t think so at all. Although they feel a little sad about Hou Junji’s imprisonment, this person is not very popular even in the team of generals, so there are also many people who applaud him.

Hou Junji's arrogance is even more famous than his achievements. Not to mention that he always looks at people with his nostrils, most generals don't take it in his eyes anyway. As his military achievements become more and more, fewer colleagues can catch his eyes. Many people have long felt that he should be punished and have a arrogant attitude.

Besides, the reason why he was sent to prison this time is not because Li Shimin simply wanted to kill him, nor because he robbed him by himself. After the incident, he was afraid that the subordinates would not accept it, so he indulged his soldiers to rob him in a bucket.

These are just appearances, which really prompted Li Shimin to make up his mind to treat his confidant and beloved general in this humiliating way. Hou Junji, one of the teams who helped him do a lot of bad guys. The key is that Hou Junji stretched out his hand too long this time in Gaochang and touched the area he shouldn't have touched.

A general, even a marshal, had not received the license and the local situation was very stable. Without being forced to do so, he dared to bypass Chang'an. Without any permission or report, he privately appointed all the officials and kings from Gaochang.

This is the right that only Li Shimin, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, possesses. It is impossible for others to touch it.

Li Shimin can allow his generals to be greedy, bloodthirsty, or lustful, which is nothing wrong. For example, Liu Renji, who is under his command, is basically a person with all kinds of poisons. Although there are occasional ups and downs, he has never received any real punishment.

However, interfering in the scope of the emperor's rights is the biggest taboo, just like the dragon's reverse scale, which will lead to anger when touched. If you win today, you dare to appoint officials privately. Next time you win a big battle, are you ready to become king? Such signs will definitely be strangled in the cradle, which led to the prison disaster of Hou Junji.

Cheng Yaojin had predicted Hou Junji's experience for a long time, and Shi Lei knew it. He could only say that his personality determines his destiny. Even though history has changed a lot, Hou Junji still embarked on this path.

Shi Lei also felt relieved. When he went out to fight with Hou Junji, he was criticized by this seven guys who were dissatisfied with eight unhappy. He thought Shi Lei was too famous because he had never compared with him, Balabala...

Shi Lei was always holding his anger in his heart, but he couldn't really play against such a veteran. Don't forget that this person is not inferior to that of a fat man Changsun, and is also a cruel man. Shi Lei really fought with him one-on-one. If he wins and loses, it will be a problem.

But Shi Lei was inevitably worried. The existence of Hou Junji in history was a large part of the reason why Li Chengqian rebelled. Although Li Chengqian was already a little bit distorted at that time, he might not have the courage to kill him.

It was Hou Junji's imprisonment after returning from Gaochang that made him hate Li Shimin, which made his son-in-law surrender to Li Chengqian, who was in a desperate situation and tried his best to instigate Li Chengqian to commit his rebellion. He also said that Hou Junji could serve as Li Chengqian's strong support, and Li Chengqian had the courage to really launch it.

Of course it is not difficult to imagine that Li Chengqian was just a gun for him, and he was just trying to use the emperor to command the princes, and let Li Chengqian be a puppet in name only for a few days.

This time, Hou Junji still failed to get imprisoned. With his petty mind, it is basically inevitable to hate Li Shimin. So what will he do this time?
