In 643 AD, the famous general Hou Junji was discovered to be plotting rebellion. Before he died, Li Shimin regretted: "I wanted to pardon you, but the officials didn't agree, do you have any last words?" After hearing Li Shimin's words, Hou Junji begged: "For the sake of my meritorious service, please leave a son for me!" ”
Hearing Hou Junji's last words, Li Shimin agreed without the slightest hesitation. A moment later, as the executioner's hand rose and fell, the era of Hou Junji passed.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Hou Junji officially joined Li Shimin to do things. It can be said that the reason why Li Shimin was able to ascend the throne was indispensable for Hou Junji's advice and help.
At the time of the Li father and son uprising, they were still in the entrepreneurial stage and their future was unknown. And Hou Junji followed Li Shimin without hesitation, which shows that he also values the deep righteousness of the Li father and son.
Following Li Shimin's southern and northern wars for many years, Hou Junji was brave and made a lot of contributions on the battlefield. It is precisely because of this that he won Li Shimin's trust and became his right-hand man.
In 626 AD, I heard that Li Jiancheng intended to put Li Shimin to death, and Hou Junji and others suggested that Li Shimin strike first and win the "Battle of Xuanwumen".
Before becoming the crown prince, Li Shimin had always been in a passive position, and because his own ability was too strong, he became the "thorn in the side" of the then prince Li Jiancheng.
At the beginning, Li Shimin was reluctant to kill each other, and if there was no help from Hou Junji and Wei Chi Jingde, he would probably be forced to be overpowered by the crown prince Li Zicheng.
In the "Battle of Xuanwumen", Li Shimin's right-hand man had a clear division of labor, and he soon killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.
Subsequently, Li Shimin ascended the throne and became the famous Tang Taizong in history. After being called the emperor, the first thing is to reward meritorious deeds, and Hou Junji, who has contributed to the "Battle of Xuanwumen", naturally also received a reward.
As his confidant, Li Shimin did not treat Hou Junji badly, but gave him the identities of "General Zuowei" and "Duke of Luguo".
After that, as long as Hou Junji makes achievements, Li Shimin will not hesitate to give rewards and rewards. In the end, Hou Junji, who had not read many books, had already taken the post of secretary of the military department.
It's a pity that Hou Junji, who is in a high position at this time, is becoming more and more dissatisfied. Maybe it was because of his own merits, or maybe it was for the family, Hou Junji actually had the heart of rebellion.
According to the system of the Tang Dynasty at that time, Li Shimin intended to choose one of Li Tai and Li Chengqian as the crown prince. It's just that both of them performed well, and Li Shimin didn't make a decision for a long time.
Hou Junji, who was becoming more and more dissatisfied, decided to win the hearts of the people in private, and between Li Tai and Li Chengqian, he chose the latter. After some "in-depth" exchanges, Hou Junji found that Li Chengqian was not satisfied with the status quo and had the intention of rebelling.
may have helped Li Shimin plan the "Battle of Xuanwumen" before, so Hou Junji began to help Li Chengqian plot a rebellion in an attempt to overthrow Li Shimin's court.
It's a pity that Hou Junji miscalculated this time. Li Chengqian is not Li Shimin, and without the heroic strategy of the other party, this rebellion is doomed to not succeed.
Before they rebelled, the plan of Hou Junji and Li Chengqian was discovered by Li Shimin and strangled in the cradle. Seeing that Hou Junji, who had always been treated kindly, actually rebelled, Li Haimin was deeply saddened.
Originally, Li Shimin didn't want to kill Hou Junji, after all, he had accompanied him to fight in the north and south to help him ascend to the throne. However, Hou Junji is usually arrogant and offended many ministers of the DPRK and China.
Since they knew that Hou Junji was plotting rebellion, how could these ministers tolerate it? Everyone signed a joint letter together, hoping that Li Shimin could severely punish Hou Junji to set an example.
So, the opening scene happened, Li Shimin, as the emperor, had no way to protect Hou Junji. After he subjugated the law, Li Shimin remembered the old love and buried it thickly, which can be regarded as repaying his assistance back then.
According to the agreement, Li Shimin did not kill them all, and Hou Junji's wife and children were exiled to Lingnan, which can be regarded as preserving the incense of the Hou family. Hou Junji was supposed to have a good future, but he was defeated by his greed.
