Chapter 256: Reward and Punishment
Li Hao's angry shout stunned everyone present, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, nothing like this has ever happened, even if there is a gap between the marching chief and the general manager, at most, everyone will not talk to each other, and will never tear their faces, Li Hao This is not just as simple as tearing his face, this is in front of tens of thousands of troops, humiliating Hou Junji, the chief of the marching army, not to mention the Tang Dynasty, going back a thousand years, no such thing has happened, Li Hao did this thing...... It's a bit of a bastard, a very bastard, but Li Hao doesn't care, because everyone knows that he was a bastard.
Hou Junji's face was blue and red, it can be seen that he has already escaped his anger, he has lived so old, it is the first time he has been humiliated like this, and he was so humiliated by a weak-crowned young man in front of more than 10,000 troops, and the most important thing is that this hairy young man is still his subordinate, which is unbearable.
"Someone!" Hou Junji shouted loudly, "Take Li Hao down for me!" ”
"I see who dares!" Li Hao was also glaring, and the special forces behind him suddenly pulled out their sabers one after another, staring at Hou Junji with fierce eyes, and the few guards who were about to come forward to arrest Li Hao were suddenly forced by this momentum and were so frightened that they didn't dare to move.
Niu Jinda was just about to come up to persuade him, but Li Hao said loudly: "Don't persuade you!" ”
Then he glared at Hou Junji again, and said coldly: "As the saying goes, the official is the first to crush people, that's right, you are the chief of the marching army, and you are my superior, but I am here today to point at your nose and scold you, what can you do to me, take me?" Come on! Anyway, Lao Tzu often goes to prison, get used to it! ”
Hou Junji's eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes showed a fierce look, and he said coldly: "Li Hao, the head of the Taohe Road March, despises military law, despises military might, insults the commander in front of the army, his words and deeds are hateful, and the crime is unforgivable. Imprisoned awaiting judgment! ”
Several guards stepped forward again when they heard the voice, now they are executing military orders, if Li Hao's subordinates dare to stop it, it will be like a rebellion, Li Hao's special forces are ready to move, Li Hao raised his hand and said loudly: "Don't move, let them arrest, I want to see how long he can be majestic!" ”
Niu Jinda and Zhi Zhili hurriedly stepped forward to persuade Hou Junji: "Manager Hou, don't be rash, Li Hao is a great hero of the defeat of Tubo, how can you explain it to Your Majesty!" ”
Liu Lan shouted loudly: "Hou Junji, what do you want to do!" ”
Hou Juncai didn't listen to the persuasion, glared and shouted: "Didn't you hear him insult Ben Shuai just now, if he spares him, how will Ben Shuai lead troops in the future!" On His Majesty's side, the marshal will make it clear. ”
Hou Junji's personal guards were handcuffing and shackling Li Hao, and Li Hao sneered at him, "Bringing soldiers? Hehe, from now on, you will never have the opportunity to lead the army again, because this will be the last battle of your life! ”
"Humph! You think you're the oldest! Hou Junji glared and snorted coldly, although he knew that he was a little impulsive to lock up Li Hao's matter, and it might cause some bad consequences because of this matter, but he had to do it, because Li Hao made him lose face too much, he was a very good face, how could he be insulted like this, he was a generalissimo.
Besides, he thinks that Li Hao is completely talking big, he is a founding meritorious service, and his military achievements are great, how can he be heavily punished for a trivial matter, and he will never be able to lead troops to fight? Hehe, the toad yawns, what a big breath.
Li Hao was locked and taken into the Songzhou prison, it was actually next door to Feiying, the two met each other, a little surprised, Li Hao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Yo, Feiying, you are here, great, someone chatted with me." ”
Feiying excitedly stepped forward and grabbed the bar, and asked urgently, "Master Hou, why were you also arrested?" Still chained? ”
"Don't mention it." Li Hao smacked his lips, rolled his face, and said, "It's not Hou Junji's old Wang Ba calf, who deliberately targeted Lao Tzu from the beginning, and dared to peek at my family letter, Lao Tzu couldn't kill him, this old Wang Ba was angry and took me down." ”
Feiying said: "Why is Master Hou so impulsive, now that he is in prison, how can this be good." ”
"Don't worry." Li Hao shook the chains in his hands, made a crisp sound, and said nonchalantly, "I'm in prison, it's not the first time, I have experience, and it's a big fart, he doesn't dare to do anything to me." ”
Li Hao still has this self-confidence, after all, he has made great contributions to the Tubo army this time, Li Shimin must be very happy, rewards are indispensable, if Hou Junji pours a basin of cold water on Li Shimin at this time, it will be unpleasant.
After more than an hour, both the stubborn and the prison Liu Lan came to the prison to visit Li Hao, Li Hao got up and saluted, Liu Lan sighed and said: "Li Shimao, you are too impulsive today, how can you humiliate Hou Junji so much in front of the army." ”
Li Hao said with a hippie smile: "What Liu Jianjun taught is that the kid regrets it now, but unfortunately it's too late." It's all a scene, he regrets it, and he can't wait to slap Hou Jun again to feel comfortable.
Stubbornly said: "Poetry madness rest assured, I, General Niu and Liu Jianjun have truthfully reported your merits to the emperor, I believe that Hou Junji will not dare to do anything to you, in addition, if you humiliate Hou Junji, we will also intercede for you, after all, it is Hou Junji's personal vendetta first, you will be wronged for a few days." ”
"Thank you Liu Jianjun, thank you General Zhi."
I was a little depressed and corrected: "It's the obsession and the lack of thinking, I don't have the surname Zhi!" ”
Li Hao bowed: "Okay, selfish general." ”
Lost thinking was stunned when he heard this, and corrected it again: "It's the loss of thinking power!" ”
"Selfish." Li Hao's pronunciation is obviously not accurate.
"It's obsessiveness."
"Selfishness?"
I finally gave up and waved my hand helplessly: "That's it, you still call me General Zhi." ”
"Okay, self-serving general."
Attachment: ......
Three days later, four 800-mile expedited war reports were sent to Li Shimin's desk, these four war reports came from Hou Junji, Liu Lan, Niu Jinda and Persistent Thinking, but there was no Li Hao.
When Li Shimin saw these four battle reports, he first had a burst of doubt, and then a burst of worry, why was there no Li Hao's battle report? Did something happen to him? Thinking of this, Li Shimin hurriedly picked up Hou Junji's battle report and looked at it, only to read it for a while, Li Shimin was so excited that he laughed, since the last time Li Hao broke Gaochang, he has not been so happy for a long time, breaking the Tubo army, this is much more difficult than breaking Gaochang, although Tubo is not as strong as the Tang Dynasty, but the Tubo army is also very fierce, and the Tang Dynasty has had military frictions, the Tang Dynasty has not been able to take too much advantage, I didn't expect Li Hao to make a move, he defeated Tubo, not only relieved the siege of Songzhou, but also let Tubo return with a feather, It is really very happy, and the prestige of the Tang Dynasty is promoted.
Before he finished reading the report, Li Shimin continued to read it, but looking at it, he frowned, the front part of Hou Junji's battle report truthfully reported Li Hao's merits, after all, this cannot be falsely reported, the middle part boasted about how hard they defended Songzhou, how hard it was, and finally held Songzhou City or something, and how much he fought for himself, and in the latter part, he was not kind, all kinds of arrangements Li Hao said bad things about Li Hao, especially Li Hao's insults to him, which were infinitely magnified by him.
After reading Hou Junji's war report, Li Shimin frowned, and launched Liu Lan's war report, Liu Lan's war report was very pertinent, as for Li Hao's anger Hou Junji, he wrote the original story in the war report, and also said that Hou Junji was suspected of communiqué personal vendetta, and gave Li Hao small shoes, from the beginning to the end of the war, Li Hao never entered Songzhou City, because Hou Junji did not let him in, and Hou Junji privately demolished Li Hao's family letter, as for Hou Junji and Li Hao's personal grudges, Liu Lan said that he didn't know, Anyway, Hou Junji has been targeting Li Hao in this war.
Although Liu Lan said it very pertinently, Li Shimin felt that Li Hao did something wrong, Li Shimin was also born in the military, and knew very well how important the prestige of the commander of the first army was in the army.
Of course, Hou Junji is not a good bird, it is very taboo to announce personal vendetta in the army, as the commander of the first army, so public and private, no wonder his subordinates are so dissatisfied, Li Hao has made a great contribution this time, Li Shimin can not blame him, but Hou Junji is not so lucky, others don't know about the festival between Hou Junji and Li Hao, Li Shimin knows that he has made such a big mistake and must be punished!
Next, Li Shimin read the battle report of Niu Jinda and Zhi Zhili, which was basically similar to Liu Lan's, from which he got an important piece of information, Hou Junji was ineffective in supervising the war, and the communiqué was a personal vendetta, which almost led to the fall of Songzhou because of this matter, although he finally desperately defended Songzhou City, but the loss was also very amazing, which made Li Shimin even more angry, well, after coming back, let him continue to go to the prison of the Criminal Department to squat, when will he know that he is wrong, when will he come out again.
Early the next morning, Li Shimin convened the ministers in the Liangyi Hall to discuss these war reports, although Li Hao made a mistake, but the great merit can not be erased, the ministers thought that they must be rewarded, although there were a few pedantic people who objected, but after all, they could not withstand everyone's appeal, and after a long time of discussion, the results of the reward were determined.
In the afternoon of the same day, the holy decree of the reward departed from Chang'an, sent to Songzhou, thirteen days later, the holy decree arrived in Songzhou, this holy decree rewarded Niu Jinda, stubborn and Li Hao, but there was no Hou Junji, just let him release Li Hao, the class returned to the court, Hou Junji knew on the spot that the big thing was not good.
In this war against Tibet, Li Hao's merit is the highest, and the reward is naturally the highest, and the holy decree states that Li Hao's reward: the fourth grade is returned to the German Zhonglang General, and the award is awarded from the sixth rank of the flying cavalry captain, and the position of the Jin scientific research temple is from the third grade, and the same level as Dali Temple and Honglu Temple, can participate in the government and politics, and seal two hundred households in Shiyi, a thousand taels of gold, a thousand silk horses, and Li Hao's wife Li Tu's Jin four products.
Early the next morning, the army set off from Songzhou and headed for Chang'an, and twenty days later, arrived outside the Mingde Gate of Chang'an.
At the same time, there is also a holy decree, which was issued to Hou Junji, saying: When Hou Junji, the chief of the Midao marching army, did not want to repay the country with a sinful body, and announced his personal vendetta before the military array, resulting in excessive losses to the army, and a few catties lost the city.
After the holy decree was announced, Hou Junji was dumbfounded, did Li Hao's crow mouth open up? He was really convicted, and he was going back to the prison of the Criminal Department, and this time it was obvious that Li Shimin was very angry, did he really want to lock himself up for the rest of his life?
