Chapter 656 Secret News
The atmosphere in the entire Liangyi Hall was unprecedentedly depressed, and the eunuchs didn't know who caused the emperor to be so angry.
Even Eunuch Yao didn't know that this was a secret book, and it was always sealed when it was delivered to the emperor. He didn't know who handed it, nor did he know what was written in the secret book.
He didn't know who the person who made the emperor furious was.
In Duke Chen’s mansion, the maid was carefully taking out all kinds of treasures from the box, and her eyes seemed to be full of sight.
Hou Junji sat upright, looking at the treasure in front of him, and looked fascinated. Who doesn’t like the rare treasures?
Behind Hou Junji, two young women looked like men untied their clothes, and two maids in front of them were holding wine glasses, drops of milky white liquid dripped into the wine glasses.
The originally clear wine has turned milky white.
The maid handed the wine glass to Hou Junji. Hou Junji took the wine glass, drank it all, and smiled and said, "This Gaochang Kingdom is located on the must-pass road for trading in the Western Regions. Before going to the war, I felt that Gaochang Kingdom must have many rare treasures, and it was true!"
Mrs. Hou still has charm. She turned a blind eye to milk wine and just stared at such rare treasures. Not only did she not look happy on her face, but she frowned.
"Does the master bring back too many rare treasures?" Mrs. Hou asked with a frown. If it was just a few boxes or even treasures, he wouldn't say anything, then it would be a real treasure of more than a dozen cars.
Hou Junji took another glass of fine wine and drank it all, and smiled and said, "Is it too much? Not much at all! This is the battle to destroy the country, a battle of eternal history, a battle of glory! This is also my best opportunity to seize wealth. Our Hou family has a shallow foundation, and I have shallow qualifications. If you don't seize this opportunity, when will you live a rich life?"
"Master, our family is already the Duke's Mansion. Isn't it rich enough?" Mrs. Hou sighed.
After hearing this, Hou Junji's face changed and snorted, "Duke's Mansion? The Duke's Mansion is divided into three or six levels! Can Duke Chen compete with Duke Wei? Can Duke Zhao compete with Duke? Can Duke's Mansion be compared with Duke Britain? Can I, Duke Chen, be appointed as the Duke's Mansion in Chang'an?"
"If you don't talk about others, just talk about Su Cheng. Has he been to our Duke Chen's mansion once? I also came from the Qin Prince's Mansion. I am a direct confidant of the current generation!"
Mrs. Hou said worriedly: "But the master has hidden so many rare treasures. Are you not afraid that the emperor will blame the master after he knows it?"
Hou Junji smiled and said, "I am not stupid, I am not alone, and I have not treated the soldiers who went to war with bad treatment. Who would have gone to the high-profile me?"
"And what Your Majesty values most is not treasures, but the test of the white flower seeds and muskets on the battlefield. He never mentioned the treasures from beginning to end. What His Majesty always talks about the white flower seeds!"
"So Your Majesty doesn't care, so Madam doesn't have to worry!"
Hou Junji was very confident and thought that he had not treated the soldiers badly. He gave them more money than usual, so he blocked everyone's mouths, but he forgot that there was another saying in this world.
Don’t worry about lack of weight but not unevenness.
In a tavern, the two of them sat opposite each other.
"Are you the general who went to the expedition this time? Do you say you have important things to reveal to me? What exactly is it?" Wei Zheng said in a deep voice.
"Can Lord Wei guarantee to keep it a secret for me? I also heard that Lord Wei is upright and upright, so the last general made an appointment with Lord Wei." A man who looked like a general lowered his head and said in a deep voice.
"I guaranteed it with my reputation and will definitely keep it confidential for you, as long as what you said is true!" Wei Zheng said in a deep voice.
"I promise that what I said was not false!" the general said in a deep voice.
"So, what is the big thing you are talking about?" Wei Zheng asked.
"I am a general of the border army. I was fortunate to participate in this expedition. All I said was related to the general Hou Junji. The first thing I did was to be greedy!" The general said in a deep voice. He just briefly introduced himself and did not say his name.
Greedy Mo? Wei Zheng couldn't help but frowned slightly after hearing this. Greedy Mo is not uncommon. Even the emperor would turn a blind eye, especially when he went out to fight and collect money and property, he would divide some of it into the army. This is already a rule in the army. Wei Zheng is not a person who does not have military affairs.
Although he is upright, he is not pedantic and will not make a fuss about this matter. Because he knows that this is useless at all, it will arouse hostility from all military generals.
Even the emperor thought he was troublesome, and this matter was not completely beneficial, at least the soldiers who could go on fierce battles.
Wei Zheng frowned slightly and said, "Is it just greedy for ink?"
The general said in a low voice: "I know this is the rule in the army, but this time it's different. General Hou transported most of Gaochang's treasures to his mansion!"
Wei Zheng was stunned when he heard this and said in a daze: "Most half of the treasure of the entire Gaochang Kingdom?"
He doubted whether he had heard it wrong. He also knew that Hou Junji was a luxury person who loved money, but he never expected that Hou Junji would be so brave!
The main task of this expedition was to obtain the seeds of the white flower, so everyone focused on the white flower, and they didn't pay much attention to how many treasures the army seized in Gaochang Country.
Perhaps it is because the Tang Dynasty was already rich enough and had a vast land and abundant resources, so how could it be considered the little Gaochang Kingdom?
However, Gaochang Kingdom is actually not small, and it is a kingdom no matter what. It is located in a must-pass place for trade in the Western Regions. Wei Zheng could not imagine what a great fortune would Hou Junji have hidden most of his treasures!
The general nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, almost all the rare treasures in the palace were hidden by General Hou. Only some large and inaccurate things were left to be registered."
Wei Zheng couldn't help but frown slightly, and the expression on his face became much more serious. If Hou Junji had really greedy for so much wealth, then Hou Junji would have become greedy and committed a crime.
The general continued: "At that time, King Gaochang had been captured, but in the end he was tortured to death by General Hou!"
Wei Zheng couldn't help frowning again after hearing this. Throughout history, few people would blatantly kill a king of a country, even if it was a king of a country that was destroyed.
Even though Jie Li Khan once brought great shame to the emperor, after the demise of the Eastern Turks, Jie Li Khan lived well in Chang'an and became an excellent dancer.
Unexpectedly, Hou Junji cruelly tortured King Gaochang to death!
The general continued: "Also, General Hou also insulted King Gaochang's harem!"
After hearing this, Wei Zheng suddenly changed his color and asked in a lost voice: "What did you say? Hou Junji insulted King Gaochang's harem?"
The general nodded and said, "Yes, several princesses of Gaochang were humiliated and died by the Chief Hou. The maids in the palace were even more humiliated and died. Even the pregnant queen Gaochang was not willing to be humiliated and committed suicide."
