"Does the prince know who is the one who informs His Majesty?" Hou Junji asked.

Li Chengqian thought for a while, sighed and said, "I thought it was Lord Wei Zheng and the national teacher, but it was later confirmed that it was not the two of them. ”

"It's really not about these two people, the informant is King Wei!" Hou Junji said coldly.

What the?!

Li Chengqian was about to burst his eyes, and asked incredulously: "How is it possible?" He, how did he know? ”

"Prince, you are favored, everyone in this palace knows it, let alone the King of Wei, who has many ears and eyes? In the past, after leaving the palace with his heart, Wei Zheng did not tell His Majesty about the future of the prince, but the king of Wei went to meet the saint that day. ”

"Xu is the king of Wei interceding for me, I don't know?" Li Chengqian really didn't want to believe this fact this time, one was that the cannibalism was annoying and sad, and the other was that the chaos under his nose was even more annoying and embarrassing.

"The prince is merciful." Hou Junji arched his hand unhurriedly, and sneered: "We don't know what King Wei and His Majesty talked about in the past, but imitate Wei Zheng's handwriting to send a letter to Xiangxin, so that he died tragically in front of His Highness, can it be said that King Wei is seeking benefits for His Highness?" ”

Li Chengqian's head buzzed loudly, thinking of the tragic death of satisfaction, and then thinking of brotherhood, Li Chengqian's head was messed up, he staggered up and opened the secret box, took out a letter, and said in a trembling voice: "This letter is in my hand, who can prove that it is not Wei Zheng's handwriting?" ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, I also have a letter here, which was also written by Wei Zheng to Xiangxin that day. One of them must be fake. Presumably, the prince can tell the truth at a glance. Hou Junji said and took out a letter from his arms and said, "Wei Zheng is newly mourned, and his original subordinates want to take refuge in me. It was he who delivered the letter to the heart that day. But when he arrived, he had already left home, so the letter was not delivered. ”

Li Chengqian hurriedly took it, and compared the two letters no less than ten times. In fact, you don't have to do this to see the difference, but Li Chengqian is always unwilling to hurt his satisfaction because of his negligence, and he has not even avenged him for many years.

At first glance, it is all Wei Zheng's handwriting. Looking closely, it is still the case, although Wei Zheng's calligraphy is not a famous master, but it is quite distinctive. The strokes are habitually upward, and unless it is a powerful person who spends a lot of money on it, it is difficult to imitate.

In the end, Li Chengqian also saw the clues. He had been in contact with Wei Zheng for a long time. He is very knowledgeable about his habits and personal situation. In the last few years of Wei Zheng's life, his physical condition was relatively poor, he had severe asthma, and he had to take a deep breath every once in a while, so there were always a few words that were slightly deformed when writing.

The first letter flowed smoothly, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, all in one go, and the second letter. There are regular strokes shaking, so Li Chengqian knows it. The second letter is the truth.

"Why, why is Li Tai so symmetrical?" Li Chengqian's eyes were on fire, and his fists were clenched.

"Prince, now it's time for you to wake up. Satisfaction is innocent, the king of Wei will eventually deal with you, even if he is not satisfied, he will start with others until he knocks you down. Du He got up and said.

"Since he wants to be the crown prince and the emperor, why did he complete the Chronicles of the Territory ahead of schedule?" Li Chengqian asked puzzled.

This simplicity, in the opposite way, can not only dispel the doubts of His Majesty and the ministers, but also win a good reputation for himself. The Chronicles of the Territory had already been completed, but the King of Wei never mentioned going to the fiefdom, and more importantly, His Majesty did not mention it, and even rewarded him with his own clothes. ”

Li Chengqian couldn't help but shiver, sat on the stool in frustration, and didn't speak for a long time. The younger brothers are excellent, which is a great hidden danger for the prince's brother, and it is normal for Li Chengqian to be anti-hearted.

But after Du He was a loyal minister, there was also Hou Junji who was exceptionally promoted, both of whom were deeply favored by the emperor, and Li Shimin treated them well, why did he also have a heart of disobedience?

Let's talk about Du He first, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling planned the change of Xuanwumen for Li Shimin at the beginning, and after success, they were naturally blockbusters, extremely popular ministers, and famous all over the world. Du He has regarded his father as an idol since he was a child, and even fantasizes about being able to do something big like his father.

As for Hou Junji, he has made outstanding achievements and is an official of the first grade. But this person's cultural level is not high, and then he was proud of his achievements, and even when he was pacified in Gaochang, he secretly hid many treasures, and was later exposed, Li Shimin was furious and put him in prison.

was later released, but it was not as valued as before, Hou Junji was worried about this, but he was afraid that he would not be able to keep his current wealth, so he did not do anything, and simply encouraged the prince to usurp the throne.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, as long as you agree, I can also contact other people, such as Zhang Liang, Zhao Jie and others, and then, do it again......"

Hou Junji was a little excited when he said this, worried that the wall had ears, dipped his fingers in wine, and wrote the word "Xuan" on the table.

Yes!

Li Chengqian let out a low cry, squatted on the stool with sweat on his head, and waved his hand again and again: "Don't have this idea." ”

"In the past, His Majesty was coerced by Li Jiancheng and others, and had no choice but to raise the Xuanwu Gate to save his life. And Emperor Gaozu enjoyed his old age in Da'an Palace, why didn't His Highness follow suit and just seek self-preservation? Du He said repeatedly.

"Let me think about it, think again!"

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you only think about others, and others don't necessarily think about you. King Wei had a lot of dealings with Lord Changsun in private, and the two often talked for a long time, I don't know how long Lord Changsun hadn't been to the East Palace? Hou Junji added.

Li Chengqian was completely wilted, he didn't expect that he would live in such a dangerous environment, surrounded by wolves, and the day was precarious.

"As a last resort, you can't do anything disobedient to your father now." Li Chengqian couldn't be ruthless after all, but he was very disgusted with his annoying younger brother, and frowned: "I can give the fourth child a little bit of power, so that he knows how to be restrained." ”

"Your Highness, the grass needs to be eradicated!" Du He said anxiously.

"Hey, you can wait and see!" Li Chengqian waved his hand impatiently, although he hated Li Tai to the core, he couldn't make up his mind to do anything to him.

Seeing that the prince's attitude had room to loosen, Du He and Hou Junji were overjoyed, and immediately secretly contacted each other, and many people who were unwilling to be lonely and mediocre responded one after another, including Zhang Liang, the Duke of Yunguo.

Zhang Liang was the first to follow Li Mi, and after returning to Li Tang, he did not have much merit, because he was beaten by Li Jiancheng for Li Shimin's friendship with Shandong Haojie, he was stunned and did not leak a word, which was deeply appreciated by Li Shimin.

Zhang Liang is content with the status quo, eating, drinking and having fun, but he has developed a bad problem in Luoyang, that is, he is greedy for money and loves money, and he can't sleep if he doesn't play with his treasures every night.

Hou Junji did what he liked and sent him a large number of rare things, many of which were from the East Palace, most of which were rewarded by the emperor, and all of them were superb. Zhang Liang's eyes were about to be blinded, although he knew that plotting rebellion and usurping the throne was also a dead end, but he luckily thought that as long as he didn't participate too much and maintained a neutral attitude, it would be a good choice for which side would have the advantage in the future.

After determining the ministers who were planning together, Hou Junji and others cultivated a group of dead soldiers in the East Palace, preparing to take the opportunity to assassinate Li Tai, the king of Wei.

The subtle changes in the East Palace, it was not that no one noticed it, but Yu Zhining, the prince's left concubine, noticed it. Although the East Palace was dull in the past, the crown prince and princess could occasionally be seen strolling around and Li Xiang waddleing and playing.

But these days, the prince has been conspiring with some people in the house all day long, and there are many guards at the door, and no one is allowed to approach them.

Yu Zhining was very puzzled, and found the crown princess to ask about the situation, and the princess bluntly said that she didn't know, but she heard the prince say that he had important things to do, and there were very few opportunities to meet every day.

Even the crown princess was unaware of the prince's actions, and Yu Zhining was even more unswerving that the prince must have made some moves in secret, and he was hiding it from the world, especially the emperor.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhining's heart trembled, and he naturally thought that the prince had a different heart, and the people who usually came into contact with the prince were not idle people, lest Li Chengqian do something out of the ordinary, in line with the idea of seeking long-term interests for the prince, Yu Zhining still admonished the prince, don't think about it, otherwise you will get into trouble.

Yu Zhining said very tactfully, but Li Chengqian had already made up his mind, of course he couldn't listen to it, and unceremoniously blasted Yu Zhining out. Yu Zhining is unswerving, he looks for the prince every day, he waits outside when he gets out, and he will persuade him when he has the opportunity, even if he is bombarded outside the East Palace, he can't afford to kneel.

It's not a good phenomenon to go on like this, the old man is noisy, and when it reaches the emperor's ears, the matter will be revealed. The proposition of Hou Junji and others was to kill this person and never suffer in the future, but Li Chengqian couldn't bear it in his heart, and for the sake of his old age and loyalty, he deposed him from his official position and drove him out of the palace.

Du He and the others were very uneasy about Yu Zhining, who had discovered the secret, and repeatedly asked the prince to kill him, otherwise he would definitely be affected in the future.

Li Chengqian couldn't resist a few people, so he sent the dead soldiers to Yufu to assassinate Yu Zhining. However, when they arrived at the Yu Mansion, these dead soldiers were very surprised, the mansion was very dilapidated, and there was no servant. Several people groped their way to Yu Zhining's room, and they were even more shocked for a long time.

It turned out that Yu Zhining's house didn't even have a bed, he slept on a mat, and the pillow was a big clod. The dead soldiers were not ruthless, and they didn't bear to do it, so they quietly withdrew from the mansion and truthfully told the prince the truth.

Li Chengqian was very shocked, and only said that Wei Zheng was honest, but he didn't know that there was still a place in Zhining in the East Palace, so the matter was finally abandoned, and he was vague about Hou Junji and others, making him mistakenly think that Yu Zhining had been killed.

Coincidentally, at this time, the fifth son of the emperor, King Li You, was about to move in the fief and tried to rebel! (To be continued......)
