"As long as you are loyal to me, you can forgive..."

Li Shimin smiled lightly, and said leisurely: "Although Yue'er has a noble status, he is only a prince after all. It's a bit reluctant for you to judge your rebellion tonight. Strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as a prince..."

The official word has two mouths, let alone the emperor?If you want to say something, you can say it, and in today's world who can open your mouth to refute it?

Li Shimin is a generation of emperors, and the most important thing in the emperor's heart is himself.

Hou Junji did not lead troops to oppose him, so even if he opposes his own son, it is not considered a rebellion, at most it can only be regarded as a conspiracy of the king.

Of course, the crime of conspiring against the king should be killed in normal times, but Hou Junji was about to become Han Yue's father-in-law, and his daughter was put to sleep, and the crime was basically offset.

Li Shimin suddenly glanced at Hou Junji, and said coldly: "The 36 countries in the Western Regions!"

Hou Junji was stunned for a while, then looked up at the emperor and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty let the minister go?"

"Yes, after all, you have committed a serious crime and cannot stay in the court. The 36 countries in the Western Regions have millions of soldiers and horses. I will only give you [-] infantry, and you can figure out the rest."

The emperor looked at Hou Junji with bright eyes, and then said: "I only have one request, you have to support the Western Regions for at least three years, and after three years, Liaodong will be basically settled, and then I and the stinky boy will free up their hands and then go to attack the Western Regions. …”

The 36 countries in the Western Regions is just a code name, and it refers to the 36 countries with relatively powerful forces. In fact, there are hundreds of countries in the entire Western Regions all the way to East Asia, and the combined forces are no less than 300 million.

The emperor only gave [-] infantry support, which was almost a direct death mission.

"Don't blame me for being cruel, just because you made a big mistake tonight. If it was before tonight, I might have given you an army of 20 to [-], but now I dare not give it. After all, you have led troops to seek the king... ..."

Hou Junji nodded solemnly, knelt on the ground and raised his chest, "The guilty minister understands that what Your Majesty said is not bad."

He thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "There is absolutely no possibility of attacking with [-] infantrymen, even if the defense is very difficult, but the culprit swears to the death to defeat the crime, even if I am buried in the battlefield of the Western Regions, I must guard the gate of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin looked at him with blue eyes, his eyes were like sharp arrows, as if he wanted to see Hou Junji's heart.

After a long time passed, the emperor suddenly sighed softly and said, "That's it, let's give you five thousand cavalry to give you more confidence, lest you be killed at the border. The cavalry is very mobile, and even if you are in danger, you can escape. , you and I have been monarchs and ministers for twenty years, I appreciate your youth and ambition, I don't want to see you die too early."

Hou Junji was greatly moved, and he leaned down and kowtowed.

Li Shimin stood at the door with his hands folded, his face seemed tangled and hesitant, and suddenly asked Hou Junji, "That girl Haitang followed Yue'er, will you oppose him in the future?"

Hou Junji was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the guilty minister only has such a daughter. I rebelled tonight to help Chengqian, but after my daughter became His Highness's wife and concubine, he naturally wanted to protect His Highness."

Li Shimin let out a "hmm" and became silent again.

"Your Majesty, are you still worried?" Hou Junji said cautiously.

Li Shimin shook his head slowly, smiled and said: "Although I am furious, I know your heart and mind like the back of my hand. I am very relieved, but I am hesitant about something..."

Hou Junji breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the emperor did not question his loyalty, he did not even dare to ask what His Majesty hesitated.

Although he didn't ask, Li Shimin suddenly said, "Actually, my hesitation is because of you. I will give you [-] infantry and [-] cavalry. This force is really too weak. Once there is a war in the Western Regions, it is basically The whole army was wiped out..."

The emperor glanced at him and pondered: "That's why I hesitated, thinking whether I should add some combat power to you."

Hou Junji bowed his head respectfully and did not dare to say a word.

He really couldn't speak about that.

If you want soldiers, the emperor will suspect that he has other thoughts.

Don't, if you go to the Western Regions, there is basically no return.

"That's enough..." Li Shimin suddenly chuckled, the hesitation on his face slowly subsided, and he put on a confident look, and said indifferently: "Since ancient times, I don't need to use people, and I don't use people. Since I decided to use you, then Don't think too much about it."

The emperor turned around suddenly, leaned down and whispered to Hou Junji: "Haitang is your daughter, Yue'er is my son, if the queen's side goes well, the two juniors are almost finished now, I will now show you a way. , can definitely keep you from dying in the Western Regions, not only keep you from dying, but even make meritorious deeds.”

Hou Junji raised his head blankly, not knowing what the emperor was referring to.

Li Shimin laughed, spit out eight words, and said, "Look for your son-in-law, and go get the equipment."

Hou Junji's eyes suddenly lit up. "His Royal Highness's equipment?"

Chapter 509 Li Chengqian likes this tune

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Yue'er has three guards of the Western Mansion under his command, including 26 Turkic cavalry, [-] Xuanjia iron cavalry, and [-] musketeer cavalry. The reason why his army was able to sweep Liaodong is because of the combat power of the cavalry itself. It is strong, the most important thing is that the equipment is far superior to that of other countries in the world..."

The emperor paused slightly when he said this, and seduced Hou Junji: "You can barely be considered his father-in-law now. How can you raise a daughter for 16 years for nothing? I will give you [-] cavalry. You can go to him and ask for [-] sets of equipment. .If you are given muskets, you will develop musketeers, if you are given crossbows, you will develop cavalry, understand?"

Hou Junji opened his mouth. Although his heart was pounding with excitement, he felt that this matter would be difficult to succeed, and said bitterly: "The guilty minister just led troops to kill him tonight."

"But your daughter was slept by him..."

Li Shimin spoke directly, and continued to seduce: "I have raised my daughter for 16 years, so I have to charge some capital, right?"

The emperor's eyes kept flashing, and the corners of his mouth also had a hint of strangeness and elusiveness. He said leisurely: "You know that it is impossible for me to order the cancellation of Haitang and Chengqian's marriage, so your daughter is destined to have no good reputation in her life. You can take this I went to him about the matter and said that the stinky boy is kind-hearted, and he must feel that he is indebted to you. Five thousand sets of cavalry equipment can barely make up for Haitang's dowry..."

Hou Junji was dumbfounded, and it took him a long time before he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, why does the criminal feel that you have no good intentions?"

Li Shimin's face twitched, and he snorted coldly, "Why don't you feel safe?"

Hou Junji swallowed, and said cautiously: "I heard that muskets and crossbows are very expensive to manufacture. Five thousand sets of equipment are worth at least one million. This is just the manufacturing price of the equipment. Ammunition and crossbow bolts are consumables, so The value is more than ten times that of the equipment, if His Royal Highness equips me with five thousand cavalry, tens of millions of cavalry will be slaughtered at once."

Li Shimin coughed and turned to look at Hou Junji in embarrassment, but he directly stated the purpose in his heart, and hummed softly: "It's not for you to equip, but for me to equip. The brat is good at anything, except for muskets and magic arm crossbows." Willing to give it to me. I am also surprised at this matter, he is willing to give the red cannon, and he will also give the more powerful field mountain cannon, but the musket and the magic arm crossbow have always been unwilling to give it..."

"Maybe it's too hard to make, or it's too expensive!"

Hou Junji couldn't help making excuses for Han Yue, and said carefully: "Five thousand sets of equipment will cost tens of millions of dollars. Although His Royal Highness has money, he spends more money."

Li Shimin raised his brows slightly, smiled and joked: "Have you started to protect you before you become a father-in-law?"

Hou Junji's face turned red, he lowered his head quickly, and said embarrassingly: "Your Majesty is joking, the guilty minister is just talking about things."

His words were obviously insincere, and Li Shimin snorted, noncommittal.

In fact, the emperor was also very confused about the equipment. He stood at the door with his hands behind his back and pondered for a long time. In the end, he felt that he should give it a try, and said, "You should do as I said just now, but don't go tonight, two juniors. At the moment, the house is being completed, and there is no saying that my father-in-law is knocking on the door."

Hou Junji did not answer in silence, bowed his head and quietly listened to the emperor's orders.

Li Shimin went on to say: "Tonight, I will arrange for people to wait there. When tomorrow morning, I will immediately notify you to go to the unique door. At that time, the stinky boy has just finished his work, and he must be ashamed and ashamed to see you. If you need equipment, you must succeed in one fell swoop…”

Hou Junji was dumbfounded, and said dully: "Let me block the door? Block... block the door of my daughter's wedding room?"

His face suddenly flushed red, obviously thinking of that kind of scene and feeling very embarrassed.

Li Shimin snorted and said, "Those who make big things don't care about the details. You are Haitang's father and Yue'er's father-in-law. Even if you block the door, how could the two little guys dare to scold you?"

Hou Junji swallowed hard, his eyes went straight and dazed, before he muttered for a long time, "Blocking the door of my daughter's and son-in-law's newlywed's room, once this kind of thing spreads out, the guilty minister... the guilty minister is afraid that he will not be able to lift it for the rest of his life. beginning……"

The emperor was angry, and suddenly shouted: "Mother-in-law, push and pull, do you want your face or your life? Why don't I withdraw the order, you don't have to go to the Western Regions to guard the gate, and tomorrow I will sentence you to a full door. "

Hou Junji shuddered and dared not refute any more.
