Chapter 555
When it comes to Hou Junji's qualifications, he is much worse than Yuchi Gong's.
Yuchi Gong is much worse than Qin Qiong, Qin Qiong is worse than Li Shiji, and Li Shiji is worse than Liu Hongji.
Before Xuanwu Gate, Hou Junji was only a member of Li Shimin's family, not even a general in the court. However, at Xuanwu Gate, he was one of the nine generals who followed Li Shimin into Xuanwu Gate that day. He made contributions at the critical moment, so the emperor's family became a general.
In fact, the generals of the court are divided into several levels.
The oldest ones are of course the heroes of the Taiyuan First Rebellion. The group of heroes who were conferred by Li Yuan at that time were given to the group of people who were exempted from death. Warriors were one of them, including Liu Hongji, Yin Kaishan, Changsun Shunde, and Duan Zhixuan.
Then, there should be the former Sui generals who surrendered before and after Li Yuan entered the pass, such as Qu Tutong and Li Jing. Then there were the generals who later became emperor, who had the separatist forces who returned to the Tang Dynasty, such as Li Shiji, Luo Shixin, etc., and the group of people who surrendered later, Qin Qiongcheng Yao Taurus and Li Junxian.
Later, there will be Yuchi Gong, Shan Xiongxin, Su Dingfang and others.
In short, the later he joined Tang, the lower his qualifications. The position after joining Tang also led to different qualifications. For example, Luo Yi, a local hero, also joined Tang, but he joined Tang with his territory and army, and then joined Tang earlier. Therefore, he was originally in Li Tang, and he was of high status, and was of the same level as Li Shiji and others, and was higher than Li Shiji. Therefore, his title was also a king.
For example, Li Shiji, Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong, and Shan Xiongxin were all done under Li Mi's hands, and later they all returned to the Tang Dynasty, but before the Xuanwu Gate Incident, their status was very different.
Li Shiji was the actual commander of most of the old lands and soldiers after Li Mi of Wei was defeated and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Li Yuan was very polite to Li Shiji at the time and wanted to grant Li Shiji's father the king several times. Later, he still made the father and son both dukes and gave the surname Li.
Luo Shixin defected to Li Tang earlier than Qin Qiong, so he was granted the title of Duke of the State and appointed him as the general manager as soon as he entered the Tang Dynasty. He was also highly valued. Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin returned to Tang Dynasty later. Although Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin had a very famous reputation and Li Yuan directly awarded the title of Duke of the State, the Duke of the State was a false title and was not worthy of money at that time.
After entering the Tang Dynasty, the two were under Li Shimin's command. They were generals of the Guardian Mansion, and their ranks were only four or five ranks. They were one level lower than Luo Shixin's Duke and General Manager.
As for Shan Xiongxin, he was almost lost because he was defeated and captured. Although Qin Qiong and Li Chao and others saved him in the end, he was also pulled into the Qin King's Mansion, and his position was lower than that of Qin Qiong and the others.
For example, although Wang Junkuo was capricious, he was brave in war and returned to Tang with his troops. Therefore, he was appointed as the Duke of the State early and appointed as the general manager. He even had a status far above Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong and others.
In the Li Yuan Dynasty, of course, the heroes of Taiyuan had the highest status and qualifications, followed by the Sui generals who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, then the local powerful factions who returned to the Tang Dynasty, and then some generals who led troops to the Tang Dynasty, and then Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong and others.
However, after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, one emperor and another minister.
Unless the heroes of Taiyuan were on the side of the new emperor, they would have to stand aside. The most powerful heroes in the new court were the heroes of Xuanwu Sect.
Among the heroes of Xuanwu Sect, there were a large number of military generals, mainly the generals of the Qin King's Mansion. Liu Hongji, Qu Tutong, Duan Zhi, Xuanyin Kaishan and other generals stood in the right team, and they still held high positions. Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Shan Xiongxin, these old generals of the Qin Palace also jumped up.
Even Hou Junji, who was originally just a middle-level military officer of Li Shimin's family, was promoted to become the general of the Northern Imperial Army.
But after all, the emperor and the ministers of Taiyuan were all the same as those of the warriors who supported Li Shimin at that time.
Even the mighty generals, Luo Yi, Li Shiji, Li Jing, and Wang Junkuo, were greatly affected because they were not Li Shimin's iron-kicks.
Li Chao doesn't like Hou Junji very much, and thinks this person is a bit similar to Wang Junkuo.
Being brave is quite brave, but sometimes he is quite greedy.
He found that even Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others kept keeping a distance from these people silently. In the past, Li Chao thought that it was Qin Qiong and the others who thought Hou Junji and the others had a low status. After all, Qin Qiong and the others were dukes and generals, and Hou Junji and the others were at most intermediate officers like chariots and cavalry generals.
But now, Li Chao felt that Qin Qiong and the others had a relatively old vision and had long been unable to stand these people's style of conduct, so they deliberately kept a distance.
In history, Hou Junji rebelled and supported Chengqian's rebellion and was beheaded. Li Shimin was also very good at treating Hou Junji. He was promoted all the way and later became the Minister of War, but he was unable to satisfy his hopes.
Li Shimin once asked Hou Junji to learn military tactics from Li Jing, but after Hou Junji learned it, he reported to Li Shimin that Li Jing had an objection, saying that he could not save Quan and left tricks. No matter whether Li Jing taught Quan or not, disciples like Hou Junji are not good birds.
Now that Li Shimin asked him to learn military tactics with him, Li Chao was confused.
This is a white-eyed wolf.
Now he is in power, which makes him feel a little proud. In the end, he didn't teach him for a long time, and he bit himself and said that he didn't teach him all, that's a hell.
There seems to be a history that says Chengqian took Hou Junji's daughter as a concubine. Li Chao remembers that Li Chengqian's crown princess was surnamed Su, and the specific one seemed to be the great-granddaughter of Su Wei, the prime minister of the Five Priests of the Sui Dynasty, and he was also considered a prominent family.
Li Chao kept a smile on his face.
Looking at Hou Junji.
"Duke Lu, you are joking with me. You are the general of the Zuoyulin Guard of Beiya, Shangzhuguo, how can I teach you the art of war?"
Hou Junji seemed to enjoy Li Chao calling him an official title.
Half a year ago, he was just a general of chariots and cavalry, and he was almost negligible in Chang'an City. However, in the battle of Longxi City, he showed great courage, and after that he briefly served as the governor, he also performed very well. The Xuanwu Gate Incident made great efforts and saved the emperor's life.
It was precisely because of the emperor's confidant status as a general who was able to become a Duke in the new dynasty and serve as a general, and to be a pillar of the country.
"Who doesn't know that Duke Zhao is the Tang Dynasty's military god personally praised by His Majesty. The set of Sun Tzu's art of war and thirty-six strategies written by Duke Zhao was even more praised by His Majesty, and it was called a must-read book for generals. Your Majesty also gave me a set, but I am a man who is very powerful in riding horses and shooting arrows, but when I read the book, I feel a headache, and there seems to be a thorn on my butt."
Hou Junji spoke loudly, as if he deliberately showed that he had a very familiar relationship with Li Chao.
In fact, Li Chao wanted to say in his heart that I really don’t know you.
But this guy always looks familiar and comes to Li Chao a lot and asks the Li family to introduce him to some ways to make money. Li Chao has indeed asked his family to take him with him several times, and this kid makes a lot of money.
"Duke Zhao, you must teach me. You know, I am a rude man. I am really embarrassed by your Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-Six Strategies. It's really hard for me to listen to you to make it easier and simpler."
"The teaching really is not worth mentioning. You are also a general. I can only say that if you have time, we can discuss and exchange experiences together."
Hou Junji smiled and said, "It's okay to exchange and change your name. Actually, I don't mind calling you a teacher. But since Duke Zhao doesn't want to accept me as a disciple, I don't force it. However, you can't just hide your hand with me just because I didn't call you a teacher and keep a few tricks and don't teach me."
Hearing this, Li Chao frowned. This guy hasn't started teaching yet, so he has already said that. If he really teaches, he will probably say in the end that he hasn't taught him completely.
"It's okay that guy Zhang Liang, you can teach him a few less tricks."
Li Chao suddenly decided in his heart that he would never teach a ungrateful wolf like Hou Junji.
"I won't talk about this today, let's have a drink!" Li Chao pulled Hou Junji to the table and asked Cheng Chumo and some guys to greet him.
It seems that we still have to open a senior training class in the martial arts lecture hall, so that Li Shimin can also give lectures occasionally, or that Li Jing, Li Ji, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong and others can also teach some experiences when they have time.
Li Chao also goes to give lectures when he has time. If he wants to teach, teach more and teach one class. At that time, the senior class student, his mother, Hou Junji can't talk nonsense this time.
In the advanced training class, he will teach two classes when he has time. When he has time, he will do self-study, prepare textbook courses, and assign homework. Anyway, he has made up his mind to stop doing any private lessons.
After getting rid of Hou Junji, Li Chao left the hall and walked around the back garden alone. He lay in the shade of the tree on the hammock, breathing.
Suddenly, a sound came from outside the garden wall.
Li Chao lay down without moving, but his eyes were fixed there.
One hand appeared on the wall first, then the other hand, and then a head was exposed.
Well, Princess Pingyang?
Li Chao was a little surprised.
Why did Li Xiuning come today? And he didn’t go through the main door and didn’t enter the side door, but he just ran to the most remote back garden location and climbed over the wall to enter?
Li Chao was lying in the woods in the garden, and in the suspension bridge. It would be difficult to find if he was not careful.
Li Xiuning looked outside the wall and looked inside. After not finding anyone, she climbed over the wall and jumped into the yard.
Li Chao secretly thought that Li Xiuning might not have caused hatred because of love. She is going to kill him now. However, she should not choose such a lively day today. Why are she here to climb over the wall?
After Li Xiuning entered the wall, she walked straight to the pavilion over there, sat down beside the stone table, and then sat there with her hands on her chin and sat there in a daze.
She was wearing a royal blue gauze today, which was quite beautiful.
It just looked very melancholy against her frown brows and thin face.
Li Chao also frowned. He remembered that they used to sit in the pavilion to play chess, play chess, play chess, play chess, play chess, play chess, play chess, and even play chess, play many games, and have had many happy times.
At that time, the two had a little ambiguous relationship, but they didn't pick them.
As he thought about it, Li Chao couldn't help but feel insane.
Unfortunately, we met too late.
Although I had a secret love, one had a husband and the other had a wife.
Now, Li Xiuning has returned to being single, but Li Chao still has a wife, concubine and son. He has such a big family. Cui Yingying just gave him a cute triplet, but he has no reason to destroy the happy family.
The sound of footsteps came from the corridor in the distance.
"Where did the Langjun go? Why can't I find it everywhere? Fang Zhongshu Ling, Du Pingzhang, Wei Secretary Secretary, Ma Sheren and others have all come, but they have no chance to see the Prime Minister."
"Look for it again, maybe you're in the back garden."
Li Xiuning in the pavilion woke up from her stunned moment and ran into the woods with her skirt.
