Chapter 249 Death of King Gaochang
Chapter 249 Death of King Gaochang
Hou Junji looked at the treasures in the palace with fiery eyes.
After a long time, Hou Junji narrowed his eyes, smiled and said to Qibi Heli and Xue Wanjun, "You two, what do you think of these treasures?"
Xue Wanjun laughed and said, "I never thought that a mere Gaochang would have such wealth."
Qibi Heli nodded, and said: "Indeed, I thought Gaochang was so poor that he was so poor."
Gaochang is a country no matter what, and blocking the Tang Dynasty's business routes has accumulated a lot of wealth.
Compared with Datang, it must be far behind, but for them, it is a shocking wealth.
An inexplicable look flashed across Hou Junji's face, and he said, "Since you two like it, you can pick whatever you want."
Qibi Heli said hesitantly: "Chief Manager, I'm afraid this is not right?"
When the Tang Dynasty fought, all the three layers of the seized belonged to the soldiers who participated in the war.
Of course, if a soldier loots it, it must belong to the soldier.
But now Hou Junji actually asks them to choose by themselves, which is obviously going to be taken privately.
Xue Wanjun's eyes were full of fire, and he said, "It doesn't matter if we take so much."
Hou Junji smiled and said: "General Xue is right, we have traveled thousands of miles, and we should share some treasures."
"This..." Qibi Heli hesitated.
He had slept with King Gaochang's women before, but those women were not princesses. Even if Li Shimin finally pursued him, his guilt would not be too great.
But if corrupt ink is seized, it will be a big trouble if it is found out.
Hou Junji let them choose so magnanimously, he just wanted to drag them into the water, the real boss was Hou Junji's.
He was a Turk who joined Datang, so Li Shimin didn't trust him at all. He didn't want to participate in this kind of thing at all.
Hou Junji looked slightly cold, and said, "General Qibi Heli, you don't want to take it. Could it be that you are planning to go back and report me?"
Qi Bi He Li quickly said: "The chief executive has misunderstood, but this subordinate has never seen so many treasures before, so he is a little excited."
Hou Junji laughed, and said, "In that case, General Qibi Heli will choose first."
Qi Bi He Li quickly shook his head and said, "Let's go first with General Xue."
Xue Wanjun said boldly: "You can choose first if the Chief Manager asks you to."
He and his brother Xue Wanche were originally Li Jiancheng's people. After Li Jiancheng died, the two brothers fled to Nanshan. Later, Li Shimin summoned him many times, and they surrendered to Li Shimin.
However, because they were Li Jiancheng's people before, they were excluded by other generals in the army, and they were not reused by Li Shimin, so they lived in a very difficult situation.
He knew that Hou Junji wanted to drag him into the water, but he didn't care about it.
Although Xue Wanjun is greedy for money, he is not stupid. If he wants the money, he must let Qibi Heli join them.
Seeing that Xue Wanjun said so, Qibi Heli had no choice but to go forward and choose.
Originally, choosing treasures should be a happy thing, but Qibi Heli couldn't be happy.
During the election, I watched Hou Junji's expression, fearing that he would be unhappy if he lost Hou Junji.
It's not that he didn't think about reporting Hou Junji after he went back and picking himself out.
But this is not realistic at all, he is a surrender, Hou Junji is Li Shimin's confidant.
He was going to report on Hou Junji. Li Shimin believed it or not, but even if he did, he would probably think that he did not share the spoils evenly.
At that time, he didn't know whether Hou Junji was dead or not, but he was definitely dead.
When Qibi Heli picked up two big boxes, he stopped when he saw Hou Junji smiling.
"Boss, this is what the subordinates choose." Qibi He Li said with a smile.
He has already figured it out now, since there is no other way, then take it.
Hou Junji laughed and said, "General Xue should choose some too."
"Thank you, Chief Manager!"
Xue Wanjun was not polite. He rolled up his sleeves and picked out the good ones. He packed three big boxes before stopping.
Xue Wanjun smiled and said: "Hey, Chief Manager, it seems that the subordinates have chosen a little more."
Hou Junji waved his hands and said, "It's okay, if General Xue likes it, it's okay to choose some more."
Just as Xue Wanjun was about to speak, Hou Qing ran in anxiously.
Hou Junji showed displeasure, and shouted: "Didn't you see me discussing things with the two generals?"
Hou Qing said anxiously: "Duke, King Gaochang committed suicide!"
Hou Junji was shocked, and asked, "What's going on? Didn't you tell you to keep an eye on him?"
"The little one has already sent people to guard day and night, but who knows that King Gaochang crashed into the wall and died. It is too late to stop him. I hope the Duke will forgive me." Hou Qing said.
Hou Junji stroked his beard lightly, and said, "I don't blame you for this matter, King Gaochang is also the king of a country, so let's bury him honorably."
Qibi Heli and Xue Wanjun looked at each other and knew that Hou Junji had done this.
King Gaochang was captured by Xue Wanjun himself. He knew that King Gaochang was very afraid of death.
How could such a person have the guts to commit suicide?
But this kind of tacit understanding is that they don't intend to expose it, and they don't know it at all.
"Yes!" Hou Qing responded, and hurried to do it.
Hou Junji said with an apologetic face: "The old man's people didn't think highly of King Gaochang and let him commit suicide. This time the credit will be a little less. I really feel sorry for the two generals."
The credit for capturing King Gaochang alive and sending him to Chang'an must be the greatest.
But King Gaochang must know how much wealth Gaochang has.
Therefore, it is impossible for Hou Junji to let him live.
"What did the chief executive say? Who would have thought that King Gaochang would commit suicide? Presumably His Majesty will not blame us." Xue Wanjun said.
Qi Bi He Li agreed: "What General Xue said is true."
"It's good that the two generals don't blame the old man. The old man has to deal with some matters after the death of King Gaochang, so the two will not be left behind," Hou Junji said.
"Boss, I'll take my leave!"
Qibi Heli and Xue Wanjun called their soldiers to bring up the box full of treasures and went back to count the money.
Not long after the two left, Hou Qing came back.
"Has everyone been dealt with cleanly?" Hou Junji asked expressionlessly.
Hou Qing said respectfully: "Everyone involved has been dealt with."
Hou Junji nodded, and asked, "What is Lin Xuan doing recently?"
"Mr. Hui, Lin Xuan has been sending people to search for Bai Diezi for the past few days, and there is no other abnormality." Hou Qing said.
Hou Junji pondered for a while, and said, "Send him five boxes of treasures. Tell him that this is what they deserve."
Since Lin Xuan was honest, he didn't want to deal with him with extra complications.
Hou Junji was worried that Lin Xuan and the others would be deprived of their share and cause trouble after returning home.
I just wanted to give him some and sent him away.
"Yes!" Hou Qing replied.
……
Lin Xuan looked at the several boxes of treasures delivered with a thoughtful look on his face.
"General, it seems that Lu Guogong didn't intend to do anything wrong with this matter. He sent us so many treasures." Cheng Chumo said excitedly.
Lin Xuan looked at Xue Rengui and asked, "Rengui, what do you think?"
Xue Rengui thought for a while and said: "As the commander-in-chief, the most important thing for Lu Guogong is to clearly distinguish rewards and punishments. Only in this way can he convince the public. Although he doesn't want us to make meritorious service, he still dares not give us what we deserve."
Lin Xuan didn't speak, Xue Rengui didn't know the inside story, so there was nothing wrong with thinking that way.
But Lin Xuan didn't think so.
Hou Junji did this because he was worried that his president, Ann, would make a fuss about it.
Although the vanguard led by Lin Xuan didn't fight a single battle, after all, they won the battle, and the money that the soldiers deserved was indispensable.
If Lin Xuan returned to Chang'an and seized this matter, Hou Junji would definitely be in the wrong.
If the investigation continues at that time, it is inevitable that his greed for ink will be found out.
Therefore, he will give this money.
Seeing that Lin Xuan was silent, Cheng Chumo asked, "General, do you want the money?"
Lin Xuan said: "Yes, why not, let's divide this money according to the level."
The soldiers followed him all the way to Gaochang, they didn't fight a battle, and they didn't get the credit, if they didn't get the money, then they should have a problem.
"Yes!"
Cheng Chumo asked someone to carry the box and went out to distribute the treasure.
It now appears that Hou Junji has gone down the old path of history.
But in history, although Hou Junji was impeached, Li Shimin finally let him go.
It is still impossible to put Hou Junji to death by relying on this matter.
