Li Shimin Steels
Hou is an old fox. His rebellion was definitely not just for the sake of Prince Li Chenggan, who was just his pawn. Since then, he has repeatedly made contributions to killing the enemy, and later conquered Tuyuhun and attacked, which can be described as outstanding achievements. Li Shimin didn't wronged this hero, and he was ranked as one of the twenty-four outstanding figures in Lingyange Pavilion. He was also named Duke of Lu and Minister of War, and he was also a very important figure. This is the status and glory that some people will never get, but he doesn't cherish it. He is supercilious and always wants to rebel. It turned out that when Hou was studying the art of war with Li Jing, he rode a horse and unconsciously passed the provincial gate for several steps. When Li Jing saw this situation, he said to people, "Hou Jijun is not interested in people and will definitely rebel." So I don't want to teach him the depth of the art of war.

When attacking and destroying, he exiled some innocent people without permission and took his treasure for himself. Knowing this situation, his men began to steal Gao Chang's gold and silver jewelry. Because Hou was afraid that it would be exposed by other soldiers, he did not stop them.

However, after returning to Chang 'an, he was still condemned and sent to the prison. Due to the intercession of Cen Wenben, Zhongshulang and Hou, he was released from prison, but he was very dissatisfied with the practice. He thought his achievements could not be erased, because he was greedy for money, and he was afraid that Li Shimin would catch him and kill him, so he began to plan a rebellion. Just then, Prince Li Chenggan worried about his status as a prince, so he colluded with the prince, and the prince became a pawn of Hou. Therefore, Hou's rebellion was not for Prince Li Chenggan, but for himself.
