Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 77 The Embarrassment of Hou Junji
"What nonsense are you talking to him!" Li Fu rolled his eyes at Ma Zhou, "How is the matter of sending Tang envoys going?"

Ma Zhou nodded quickly and replied: "All have been dealt with properly. There are 1000 two hundred and twenty-three people registered in the register. Those who are alive will be imprisoned, and those who are dead will be properly arranged."

"In addition, gold, silver and jewelry were confiscated, and there are countless precious things such as calligraphy and paintings. With these things alone, the charge of beheading their heads can definitely be confirmed, and I guarantee that no one will have anything to say."

"Okay, you did a good job." Li Fu laughed, "Then when Father asks a question, you can take the initiative to answer and show your face!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince!" When Ma Yiyi heard what Li Fu said, he knew that he was deliberately taking the opportunity to promote himself, so he quickly thanked him.

But how did he know that Li Fu was just trying to be lazy and not let Li Er have the opportunity to disturb his nap, so he made some arrangements in advance.

"Your Majesty is here, and all the officials kneel down to welcome you!" With the sharp cry of the eunuch, Li Shimin, dressed in a golden dragon robe, sat on the dragon chair.

After all the civil and military officials kowtowed, Li Shimin first said loudly: "Everyone must know about the war in the Northland. The Duke of England and my Tang soldiers have done a good job this time. They have demonstrated the majesty of my Tang Dynasty. I will reward them well!"

"O minister, please thank your Majesty for the reward!" British Duke Li Ji and other generals on the battlefield who had returned from the North all bowed and bowed.

All of a sudden, everyone was overjoyed, the lack of the disaster of Xue Yantuo in the Northland provided room for Datang's next strategic subordinates to display their strengths.

But at this moment, Hou Junji, the Minister of War, suddenly walked out of the train and said, "Your Majesty, I have this memorial!"

Li Shimin frowned, but he still agreed to Hou Junji's performance, only to hear Hou Junji's solemn voice: "Your Majesty Qizuo, a very bad event happened in Chang'an City yesterday!"

"Honglu Temple, regardless of the reason, indiscriminate indiscrimination, can't catch all Dongying envoys in the city, and regardless of the consequences of this matter, will it affect the diplomatic relations between our dynasty and Dongying!"

"Just talking about Honglu Temple, they actually mobilized the frontier troops who just arrived in Beijing without authorization. I hope Honglu Temple can give me an explanation!"

Hou Junji's words immediately caused a commotion in the court hall. Everyone knew that there was a lot of commotion in Honglu Temple yesterday.

But no one knew that Honglu Temple had also borrowed frontier soldiers, and he didn't know about Hou Junji's intentions.

But when everyone thought that the prince still had the status of a military servant, and that Ma Zhou was also a member of the prince, they suddenly looked at Li Fu and Ma Zhou.

Ma Zhou became nervous in an instant. It was the first time he was stared at by so many civil and military officials. Even though he was calm in his heart, he still felt a little guilty, and subconsciously looked in Li Fu's direction.

As a result, upon seeing this, Ma Zhou almost uttered a swear word, Prince Li Fu actually hid behind the big pillar in the court hall and took a nap, his saliva was almost hanging on his chest.

My side is so nervous that the prince is still dozing off. Is this the gap between me and the prince?

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Li Shimin deliberately raised his voice, "Who presided over the operation at Honglu Temple yesterday?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it's a humble minister!" Ma Zhou hurried out of the shift, knelt down and held up the tiger talisman in his hand.

"Yesterday, I mobilized the frontier army. I used the tiger amulet given to me by His Royal Highness. Here is the tiger amulet. Please inspect it, my lords!"

When the civil and military officials heard Ma Zhou's words, they were in an uproar again.

Ma Zhou actually has a tiger talisman in his hand, which means that besides the crown prince, His Majesty is involved in this matter, but there is no need to go through the Ministry of War to use the tiger talisman to transfer troops. Even if Hou Junji is the Minister of the Ministry of War, he cannot control His Majesty superior!
"Ma Zhou, what do you mean by that? Don't think that you can get away with it. Where did the tiger talisman come from? Who gave the order to capture the Dongpu envoy and kill the Tang envoy on the spot?" Hou Junji was furious.

Although Ma Zhou didn't mean to be disrespectful to anyone between the lines, the person who made Hou Junji stop at this point had never appeared in the court. He was a Duke after all, he needed face, and he also had to step down.

Cheng Yaojin saw through Hou Junji's thoughts at a glance, and secretly smiled and said: "The little monkey has started to do things again, bets and bets, betting on horses that can survive the week, pays three, and betting on Hou Junji that can survive Seven for one!"

"Aren't you so optimistic about the little monkey?" Yuchi Jingde looked surprised, "Then I'll bet on the horse week, a copper coin!"

Changsun Wuji frowned when he heard the sound, "Shut up, this Hou Junji, what's the fuss when you see the Tiger Talisman?"

Changsun Wuji didn't know Hou Junji's intentions, but the problem is that no matter whether he wins or loses, he will lose face.

Openly smashing His Majesty's face and provoking conflicts between Honglu Temple and the Ministry of War, isn't this intentionally embarrassing the Crown Prince?What good can Hou Junji achieve by doing this?Could it be that Li Chengqian is behind the scenes again?
Changsun Wuji's heart skipped a beat, he knew that Hou Junji had come to make good friends with Li Chengqian, even if Li Chengqian became the deposed prince, there was still contact between the two.

Judging from the news Changsun Wuji received recently, Li Chengqian is still staying in Chang'an City, and he doesn't know what he is planning, but it must be targeting the new prince Li Fu.

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji shook his head secretly, this Hou Junji is really a nonsense!
"Chen Guogong, this official has obtained the Tiger Talisman, and is also the long history of Honglu Temple's palm seal. He has the power to dispatch troops and exercise the right to exercise Honglu Temple. When does Honglu Temple need to report to foreigners about trivial matters? Already?" Ma Zhou confronted each other.

When Hou Junji heard the words, he was suddenly so angry that he was half dead, but when he saw that Ma Zhou took out the official seal letter of Honglu Temple, he was suddenly dumbfounded.

Li Shimin glanced at Ma Zhou, then at Li Fu, almost laughing in his stomach, at this moment...

[Hehe, Ma Zhou can do it, he really deserves to be the future prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, he has a lot of words! 】

[It's the first time to go to court, and it's a bit interesting to dare to be tough with the Duke. Hou Junji's sand sculpture should be sprayed like this. He really thinks he is a big head of garlic, and he will pay it back! 】

Li Shimin frowned, shook his head and smiled wryly. It was obvious that if Hou Junji dared to make things difficult for Ma Zhou, Li Fu would definitely not give him face.

Li Shimin didn't want to get into trouble over such a small matter, so he took the initiative to say that it was his old minister who had been with him for many years.

"Okay, that's the end of this matter. Hou Junji, please step aside. Don't you recognize the Tiger Talisman? How did you become the Minister of the Ministry of War?"

When Hou Junji heard the words, his mentality completely collapsed. Why didn't Li Shimin even give him face? Did he say something wrong?
The furious Hou Junji wanted to hold onto him, but before he could speak, he saw Changsun Wuji glaring at him, Hou Junji's heart shuddered, and he subconsciously retreated into the queue.
