Ash Naqing didn't understand why Li You would let her put soft armor on the inside of her robe, and when she saw the scene in front of her, she had mixed feelings in her heart.

Li You is his enemy, but now he has saved his life. Ashinaqing's opinion of Li You has become a little confused.

Li You and the others finally entered the territory of Datang.

Those who came to greet Li You were not only Wang Xuance, Shengzhou Thorn Shi Mao Dewang, but also Hou Junji, the squire of the military department.

Katsushu Thorn Mansion.

Shengzhou Thorn Shi Mao Dewang hosted a banquet to entertain Li You, Hou Junji and Ashina Hongliang.

After the banquet, Hou Junji came to Li You's room.

In the course of the conversation, Li You found that Hou Junji was preoccupied, and it seemed that there was something unspeakable and difficult to say.

He asked, "Uncle Hou, do you have anything to do?" ”

Hou Junji thought about it again, stood up, and bowed to Li Youshen. He said, "Please help, Your Highness!"

Li You said, "What's wrong? You sit down first and speak slowly. ”

Hou Junji told Li You what happened.

Li Jing, Hou Junji and Li Ji are the three most capable generals in the Tang Dynasty, and they also have the greatest influence in the army. And the relationship between the three is very close, Li Jing is the master of Hou Junji and Li Ji.

With the peace in the world, the chances of war became less and less, especially when the imperial court began to implement a policy of appeasing the people and calming them. Civilian officials are getting more and more attention, and generals in the army will inevitably have some complaints.

Li Shimin heard some discussions, saying that Li Jing, Hou Junji, Li Ji, and others had been moving around frequently recently, and there seemed to be signs of bad intentions. Although he didn't believe this rumor, he also left some shadows in his heart.

In this grassland incident, Li Shimin specially sent Li Jing and Hou Junji to Shengzhou, and also had the intention of secretly inspecting them. Li Jing sensed this and was deeply worried.

Li Shimin is wise and martial, but he also has a shadow in his heart. That is, he himself came to power by a coup d'état, and what he was most worried about was that his generals would also come to him with this move.

Li Jing is worried that once Li Shimin has this idea in his heart, then, under the continuous provocation of some people, it is very likely that the misunderstanding between them will become deeper and deeper.

He really wanted to explain to Li Shimin, but how could he say such a thing? If you talk about such a topic, it means that you have this idea in your mind, isn't it okay to find trouble?

However, this cannot continue. Otherwise, the misunderstanding between them and Li Shimin will become deeper and deeper, and it is very likely to lead to irreparable consequences.

Li Jing and Hou Junji discussed for a long time, but they really couldn't think of any feasible way.

Hou Junji is relatively close to Li You and can be regarded as his own person. He felt that although Li You was young, he was definitely resourceful. Therefore, he proposed to ask Li You's opinion.

Li Jing trusted Li You's character very much, and he thought that he and Hou Junji showed their loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor in front of Li You, and in case something happened, Li You could also be a witness.

Therefore, he agreed to Hou Junji's suggestion. He left Hou Junji here to be responsible for picking up Li You, which was to create an opportunity for them to meet alone.

After listening to Hou Junji's words, Li You smiled and said, "Uncle Hou, look at what a big deal it makes you worried." It's simple. ”

Hou Junji was overjoyed and said, "Please teach me Your Highness." ”

Li Youdi said something to Hou Junji. Hou Junji was shocked at first, and then overjoyed. He said, "Your Highness, you are so high. Now, the minister and the general will be saved. ”

After speaking, Hou Junji stood up and saluted Li You again. said: "Your Highness, the minister has taken his leave. The minister will return to Chang'an early tomorrow morning. ”

Early the next morning, Ashina Qing came over to serve Li You.

Now Ashina Qing already knows Li You's living habits and can make some sundries very skillfully.

After breakfast, Li You sat on a chair, and Ashinaqing brought him a cup of tea. Li You suddenly found that Ashinaqing's white and tender little hands were a little cracked. Only then did he remember that this girl was doing all kinds of work now, but she had suffered a lot.

Li You suddenly felt a little sorry for this girl.

He said: "Qing'er, you go to Ashina Hongliang now, just say what I said, ask him for two maidservants." You go with the white tiger and pick two of your favorites to bring back. ”

Not long after, Ash Naqing brought back two little girls of the same age as her, and they looked very pleasing to the eye.

Li You said: "From today onwards, the three of you are my handmaidens. Qing'er is only responsible for serving me personally. For the rest of the rough benzene work, Qing'er will arrange for the two of you to do it. ”

Ash Naqing was secretly happy in her heart, knowing that this was Li You taking care of her.

When Hou Junji returned to Chang'an, he asked to see Li Shimin.

Liangyi Palace, study.

Seeing Li Shimin, Hou Junji reported the situation on the border and left.

He walked to the door, suddenly stopped, he looked back at Li Shimin, and stopped talking.

Li Shimin saw Hou Junji's strange behavior and asked, "Junji, do you have anything else?" ”

Hou Junji walked towards Li Shimin and knelt on the ground all of a sudden.

Li Shibao felt it and asked solemnly: "Hou Junji, what's wrong?" ”

Hou Junji said: "Your Majesty, the minister reported the general Li Jing, and he has ill intentions towards His Majesty. ”

Li Shimin "chuckled" in his heart, and he asked quietly: "What evidence is there?" ”

Hou Junji said: "Your Majesty, both Chen and Li Ji were students of the great general Li Jing, and he once taught his ministers 10 art of war.

However, the minister recently learned that he had a total of 13 articles on the art of war. Chen had just asked Li Ji, and he said that Li Jing had only taught him 10 art of war.

Your Majesty, you think, both the minister and Li Ji fought the world for His Majesty, since Li Jing has 13 articles on the art of war, why don't he teach them all to the minister and Li Ji? What did he keep those three Art of War for?

Doesn't he just want to keep a backhand and wait until the future minister and Li Ji serve His Majesty, and then deal with the minister and Li Ji?

You say, isn't he having bad intentions? ”

Li Shimin said: "Hou Junji, you are wrong to blame the general, don't mention this matter again." For you, Li Jing and Li Ji, I trust them. Alright, you get out. ”

After Hou Junji left, Li Shimin laughed, not to mention how happy he was!

It turned out that what he was most afraid of was that Li Jing, Hou Junji and Li Ji were hugging together. If they have bad intentions, no one can stop them.

Now, he found that Hou Junji and Li Jing had a deep contradiction. Now his heart is steady.

As for the 13 articles on the art of war, Li Shimin knows it.

Li Jing originally only had 10 articles on the art of war, and the other three were not yet mature. It was only recently that it was written and is still being enriched.

Therefore, Hou Junji's report is completely groundless.

Hou Junji's report on Li Jing reached Li Lijing's ears at the behest of Li Shimin. Since then, Li Jing and Hou Junji have no more contact. Even when they met in the court, the two didn't say a word.

General's Palace.

A stone in Li Jing's heart finally fell. He said to his son, "His Royal Highness King Qi is really a god. The old minister admired him very much. ”

The eldest son, Li Dejian, said: "Father, His Royal Highness King Qi went to the grassland, so Hong'er has not gone to the research institute to report. When His Royal Highness King Qi returns, I will take him over. ”8)
