The hall was silent, and no one spoke. Li Shimin's face suddenly felt a little unbearable.

"Who wants to go out on my behalf and capture this rebel?" Li Shimin asked again, but no one under the military generals stood up.

It is easy to suppress a rebellion, but it is not easy to get involved with a prince. In case you accidentally kill the prince in the chaotic army, you can't explain it to Li Shimin.

Although the prince rebelled and rebelled, it was not your turn to deal with it by a general, if you really accidentally burped the other party, it would be absolutely impossible to escape the blame, and it would be better to make a fuss for no reason.

Veteran generals such as Li Jing, Gao Shilian, Li Daozong, and Wei Chigong did not stand up. Li Shimin saw that they were silent one by one, and couldn't help but feel angry.

"You..."

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to go!" Hou Junji suddenly stood up and said, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Li Chengqian glanced at Hou Junji in surprise, and didn't understand why he suddenly wanted to be in the limelight, but it was inconvenient to talk about it at this time, so he had to put up with it for the time being, and then talk about it after it dispersed.

"Oh? Hou Aiqing is willing to go? Li Shimin glanced at Hou Junji, his face finally looked better, and he showed a slight smile: "Hou Aiqing is really deeply heartfelt, I promise you to bring 20,000 troops to quell the rebellion, and bring this rebel to Chang'an!" ”

Hou Junji's face was expressionless, and he clenched his fists and promised: "Minister... Obey! After a pause, he said, "But the minister still has one more thing to ask for, and I hope Your Majesty will allow it." ”

"What's the matter?"

Hou Junji raised his head, his eyes burst with a gleam, and he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please allow your majesty to bring the thunderbolt fire to quell the rebellion!" ”

Thunderbolt? Li Chengqian was slightly stunned when he heard Hou Junji's words, and then thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but be greatly moved in his heart.

"Thunderbolt?" Li Shimin frowned after hearing this: "Aiqing, after all, I am my people, you are carrying a thunderbolt to quell the chaos, is it a little inappropriate?" ”

Hou Junji asked rhetorically: "Your Majesty, can the garrison of Qizhou be equipped with Thunderbolts?" ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he frowned deeply. The garrison of Qizhou did have thunderbolts, but the amount was not much, and five boxes of thunderbolts were configured, a total of 100.

Since the Xue Yantuo tribe went all the way south and attacked Chang'an a few years ago, Li Shimin learned a lesson, and the garrisons of the northern cities were all equipped with thunderbolts. There are more cities in the frontier, there are two or three hundred, and the cities in the interior are all one hundred. Moreover, the supervision of thunderbolts is very strict, and private use is not allowed. Li Shimin loves and hates Thunderbolt.

Now that Qizhou has fallen into the hands of Li You, it means that the hundred thunderbolts in Qizhou City have fallen into his hands.

If you don't allocate some thunderbolts to Hou Junji's troops to quell the rebellion, it really can't be justified.

"I promise you 300 thunderbolts, but you must guarantee that Li You will be sent back to Chang'an alive, and I... Interrogate him personally! ”

Hou Junji was overjoyed, and hugged his fists and agreed: "Obey!" ”

Li Shimin looked deeply at the princes present, took in their expressions, and said meaningfully: "Do the princes have something to say?" ”

The princes present were either Li Zhi and Li Shen were young, or Li Chengqian, Li Tai was so favored, hearing Li Shimin's words, several small princes shook their heads blankly, and couldn't think of what they wanted to say, but Li Tai was very clever, stepped forward, and said with relief: "Father is relieved, sons and daughters will definitely not look like Li You, father and emperor have taught sons and sons since childhood, sons and sons have long been remembered, and please rest assured." ”

Li Chengqian glared at Li Tai, what he wanted to say was said by Li Tai first, and now he could only stare dryly, and finally added unwillingly: "Erchen obeys his father's orders." ”

The rest of the princes also hurriedly followed and said, "The sons obey their father's orders. ”

Li Shimin nodded and sighed: "If only You'er were so sensible as you." Ay. ”

The nearest eldest grandson Wuji jumped his eyelids suddenly, he heard a hint of danger from Li Shimin's indifferent tone, and his intuition told him that he was afraid that Li You would not be able to be good.

After announcing the decree, Li Shimin did not let everyone leave, but saw that he was still sitting calmly in his position, not knowing what he was thinking.

Even if the ministers wanted to go back to sleep, they were too embarrassed to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in fact, I have one more thing. I want to make Chen Fei the governor of Qizhou and take over Qizhou, I don't know what you Aiqing thinks? ”

Governor? Feng Chen Fei as the governor? The ministers' brains short-circuited for several seconds, and then they all reacted that Chen Fei was just a hairy boy who was less than twenty years old, and he was actually appointed as the governor of the capital, in charge of the military and civilian affairs of a state, which ...... Too much power, right?

The eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and other old foxes were even more shocked in their hearts. As soon as the king of Qi rebelled, before he was suppressed, Li Shimin considered letting Chen Fei take over Qizhou, what does this mean? It means that this kid's status in His Majesty's heart is higher than that of his own son!

I am afraid that Li You will rebel, Li Shimin does not feel sad at all, but he feels that he has no face on his face. But what about Chen Fei? I'm afraid Li Shimin regards him as half a son in his heart, right?

This is a very incredible thing in the hearts of several old ministers, but it is normal to think about it carefully. Although this kid is a little frivolous, he didn't make any big mistakes, but he did more and more shocking things. Thinking about it, it seems that everyone in the Tang Dynasty is changing because of him, and he married Princess Linchuan as his wife, and it is not unreasonable for Li Shimin to spoil him so much.

But... After all, I'm too young! Let him be in Chang'an City, it is still reassuring to be a little restrained, but if he is released, who knows what kind of trouble will be provoked, so Li Shimin is also a little unsure, and he is consulting the ministers at the moment.

Wei Zheng stood up and said a word, which immediately dispelled Li Shimin's mind of letting him out.

"Your Majesty, if Chen Fei goes to Qizhou, then who should supervise the Qi Workshop?"

Wei Zheng's words have two meanings. One is that there is no Chen Fei in the Qi Workshop, and it is impossible to configure gunpowder to produce thunderbolts. The second is to warn Li Shimin that Chen Fei has this big killing weapon in his hand, and he must not let it out easily, what if he has the intention of not surrendering? Or is it coerced by someone?

"What Aiqing said is reasonable, but I am not thoughtful...... Let him stay where he is. However, in recent years, I believe everyone can see the credit of Qi Workshop, I... If you want to promote the supervisor of the Qi Workshop, you will be an official of the fourth grade, and the young supervisor will be from the fourth grade. What do you think? ”

"This..."Ministers, you look at me, I look at you, and my heart is constantly slandering-Your Majesty's preference for Chen Fei is too obvious, right? Even with Li Zhuo, a half-man, he was promoted to a first-level official.

Originally, Li Zhuo was the supervisor of the Qi Workshop, and the official residence was from the fifth grade, and Chen Fei was the young eunuch, and the official residence was from the fifth grade. What now? The two of them suddenly became four-grade officials, and they had the qualifications to go to the court, which was really ...... Ascension to heaven in one step?

But the ministers couldn't find fault with it. Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the Tang Dynasty has been able to conquer the east and the west undefeated over the years, and has annexed so many lands, and the Qi Workshop has contributed a lot. Promotion... It doesn't seem to be a problem.

And Chen Fei is also so favored, even fools can see that Li Shimin wants to promote Chen Fei now, who stands up to stop him...... That's really a fool.

The eldest grandson Wuji stepped forward first and said, "The minister is no different! ”

Yes, someone has taken the lead, so let's not make Your Majesty unhappy. The rest of the ministers also chimed in: "The ministers are no different! ”
