After listening to Hou Junji's words, Li Chengqian stood up violently, stared at Hou Junji fiercely, and said: "Chen Guogong, you are an elder and a close confidant of my father, I have always thought that you are the pillar of the country, but today you came to bewitch me to hate my father, are you such a courtier?" ”

Seeing Li Chengqian's angry appearance, Hou Junji quietly drank a glass of water and said, "Why can't you do what Your Majesty can do?" ”

Li Chengqian's hands trembled angrily: "Chen Guogong, you and I have no grievances or hatreds, why do you want to harm me like this?" You are the prince of the country, don't come to test me, I don't have such a mind at all. I will not do that great rebellious act and leave a name for infamy in history! Li Chengqian is really panicked in his heart, his father is wise and martial, he has been fighting all the way since he was young, he is a great contributor to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, and later the change of Xuanwumen shows his decisive side, and Li Chengqian, who is such a father, has a little idea of rebellion.

Hou Junji was not frightened by Li Chengqian's words, he just stared at Li Chengqian, and saw that his heart was weak, and his voice became smaller and smaller: "Say, keep talking." His Royal Highness the Prince, do you believe what you say? He said slowly: "Your Highness, we are all smart people!" You're just holding back and not making any moves, but someone else can let you go? Now do you expect His Majesty to change his mind? The crown prince was taken away by Li Tai, will he spare you? At this point, you have to fight, otherwise what will happen to the crown princess, what will His Royal Highness the prince do, and where will everyone around you stay? ”

Li Chengqian was cut to blood by Hou Junji's words, brutally stripped away the illusion that had always existed in Li Chengqian's heart, he took two steps back and sat on the soft collapse, opened his mouth wide, and gasped rapidly. I was at a loss in my heart, did I have to come to this point now? I just want to make a safe transition and sit on that throne, so why force me?

Hou Junji is right, it doesn't matter if I die, what should the princess do? What about my children? What should I do with so many people in the East Palace?

Where else did Hou Junji say: "You have been deceiving yourself, thinking that Your Majesty is using Li Tai to hone you, but the reality is cruel." Think about how long it has been since you appeared in the court, and then look at what Li Tai has been doing lately? Do you think those ministers are fools? Without a certain hint that they will go over there? You know how ruthless His Majesty's heart is, even his father, brother and brother can do it, and it doesn't matter if you have another son. ”

"Enough! Don't say any more!" Li Chengqian shouted: "I think you are a meritorious society, I should not have heard what you said today." This country was brought down by his father, and he gave it to whoever he wanted. ”

Hou Junji stood up and said, "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not here, I will come in vain today." When he walked to the door, he paused and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Remember my words, Your Majesty has done what you have done." Then he laughed and went out, he was a veteran of officialdom, and he had already seen the struggle and unwillingness in Li Chengqian's heart, otherwise based on what he said today, he would have called the East Palace guards to arrest him and send him to the palace.

He leveled Gaochang City, but he took some more jewelry and property, and was impeached by the imperial history, and His Majesty also listened to the villain's slander and put himself down from Dali Temple. The ancient generals were not greedy for money and not lustful, this is the way the generals used to defile themselves, but they became their own crimes. The official position of the secretary of the military department has also been lost, and there is only an empty name left, I am only in my forties, and it is the most golden time for a man, so there is only one way for me to go up. That is, to change an emperor, with this dragon skill, he will definitely be able to tilt the power of the government and the opposition. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still a little hesitant, then I will help you make up your final decision, and it will be up to you to do it or not when the time comes.

Li Chengqian sat alone on the soft collapse, his heart was beating hard, and his mouth was dry. He never thought that it was Hou Junji who came over and opened Pandora's box for him, and that thought hovered in his mind like a ghost. Hou Junji's words, what Your Majesty can do, you can also do it, back then, my father was able to kill his brother in Xuanwu Gate and force his father to abdicate, directly ascended the throne and then created a prosperous era of Zhenguan, so can I, Li Chengqian, also do this?

Since ancient times, he has been a king and a loser, and the history books will only boast about his father's great achievements in the future. It turns out that it is a good thing for him to be emperor, you see his merits. As for his brother dying at his hands, isn't that forced to be helpless!

The more Li Chengqian thought about it, the more he thought about it, Hou Junji came today to take refuge in himself, otherwise what he said would be a big rebellion, but could he believe it? When he woke up from his contemplation, he suddenly found that his clothes were all soaked in cold sweat, wet and sticking to his body, and the wind that brought up when the curtain was lifted blew his body cold. The chill seemed to sink into the bones.

When Li Shimin had a headache for Li Dongsheng's merits, and when the officials were envious and jealous of Li Dongsheng's promotion again, the Western Regions came again, scraping all the troubles and jealousies of the emperor and hundreds of officials, and all that was left was surprise and fear: a civil official was drowning more than 20,000 prisoners of war in the Western Regions!

The news detonated the streets and alleys of Chang'an like a nuclear bomb in an instant, and everyone from the political hall to the roadside stalls were discussing this appalling news. In the impression of Chang'an people, Li Dongsheng is a gentleman's spokesperson with a graceful and personable demeanor, and now he wants to force such a person to be ruthless, how many immoral things have Tubo and the Turks done. That's right, the people of Chang'an and the Tang Dynasty thought that the Tibetans and the Turks must have done something bad, so Li Dongsheng did such a thing. The people still support Li Dongsheng.

On the contrary, a large number of people led by the eldest grandson Wuji jumped out and demanded that Li Dongsheng be severely punished, saying that he was cruel and vicious, and that he must be brought to justice to appease the hearts of the people of Tubo and Turks and the Western Regions after committing such a tragic case. Some people scolded Li Dongsheng for not being a scholar at all, so vicious. Some people wailed and cried, sad for the dead Tibetan Turks, and those who didn't know thought that he had died his father and mother. Some people even connected the students of Guozijian to demonstrate in front of the Lantian Houfu, anyway, Chang'an City was in chaos.

However, there are still old and serious people who have not moved, they are observing the movement, and the matter of killing prisoners is big and small, mainly depending on His Majesty's thoughts. Although there are more people killed this time, it is the enemy after all, and only those guys who have a bad reading and a bad brain will find trouble for their own people for the death of the enemy.
