Chapter 154: Xue Wanche (1)
After Hou Junji walked into the secret room, the door slowly closed, and Hou Junji came to a corner where a locked cabinet was placed.
Hou Junji carefully opened the lock, opened the cabinet, and took out a few yellowed letters inside, which were the evidence of his collusion with Li Chengqian and the conspiracy to rebel.
With this, he was able to denounce the crime of rebellion against Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the dynasty, and he was able to be rewarded for his meritorious reporting.
He, Hou Junji, is dedicated to the country, how can he be in the same stream with the prince and his ilk, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, he must report the prince's crimes.
Thinking of this, the corners of Hou Junji's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing a smile, looking at the "incriminating evidence" in his hand.
The smiling expression froze on his face, his pupils shrank sharply, and his heart skipped a beat in an instant.
Then I flipped through all the letters in my hand back and forth several times, but they were still empty, not a word, let alone anything else, this was obviously a blank slate.
At this time, Hou Junji understood that the letters in his secret room had been stolen, and he was unaware of them.
Hou Junji sat paralyzed on the ground, he knew that he was finished! The prince will definitely not let him go, and now there is no evidence of the prince's rebellion.
It is equivalent to having no amulet, he Hou Junji has become the meat on the board, and he is slaughtered by others, it is really a man-made knife, and I am a fish.
At this time, on the main hall of the East Palace, Li Chengqian sat on the throne.
On the left side of the hand sat Xue Wanche, the commander of the left guard.
Xue Wanche was implicated by Li Tai because of his close relationship with Li Tai, and was transferred from the general of the left guard to a lieutenant and petty officer who guarded the door.
He was also one of the main members of Hou Junji's co-optation attempt to rebel.
If you want to completely dismantle Hou Junji's conspiracy, you must subdue Xue Wanche and others, not to mention, Li Er once said to people that today's famous generals are only Li Ji, Li Daozong, and Xue Wanche.
can get such an evaluation from Li Er, which shows Xue Wanche's ability.
It would be best if Xue Wanche could be taken for his own use.
"I don't know that His Highness has summoned his ministers to meet him this time! What are the commands? Xue Wanche asked.
"I summoned you here this time to show Qing a clear way, so that Qing would not take a road that he should not take." Li Chengqian said with a smile.
"I don't understand what His Highness means!" Xue Wanche said, but he was thinking about the meaning of Li Chengqian's words in his heart.
"The widow doesn't beat around the bush with you, this time I summoned you for the matter between you and Hou Junji." Li Chengqian said.
Xue Wanche was shocked, his hand shook, and the cup in his hand almost fell to the ground, secretly wondering in his heart whether the prince already knew about him and Hou Junji's plot to rebel.
This time he was summoned to the East Palace to meet him, in fact, it was a Hongmen banquet, maybe he had already ambushed the knife and axe hand behind the surrounding screens, and just waited for an order, he would rush out and behead him under the knife.
The more Xue Wanche thought about it, the more frightened he became, cold sweat flowed on his forehead, and his eyes looked around erratically, to see if there was an ambush behind the screen.
After some observation, Xue Wanche concluded that apart from the six sword-wielding warriors not far from the prince, no trace of an ambush was found.
Xue Wanche calculated the distance between him and Li Chengqian in his heart.
If he suddenly attacked, could he take down Li Chengqian in a short period of time, but the result was that he couldn't.
First of all, the distance between them, even if he sprinted with all his might, from getting up to rushing in front of Li Chengqian, and in a short time, before the knife and axe man rushed out, he had less than a thirty percent chance of taking Li Chengqian.
This is still without the situation of the six sword-wielding guards, and he has a thirty percent chance to rush in front of Li Chengqian and take him down.
Counting the obstruction of the six sword-wielding guards, Xue Wanche found that he had no chance of winning at all, and after some consideration, Xue Wanche decided not to fight the prince.
"The minister doesn't quite understand what His Highness means, although I have some dealings with Chen Guogong on weekdays, it is just an exchange between ordinary friends, why bother His Highness to summon the minister to come to the East Palace." Xue Wanche said.
"Xue Qing, you are an understanding person, and the widow doesn't talk nonsense with you, you just can't remember it for a while, but it doesn't matter, the widow can give you a wake-up call and help you remember well." Li Chengqian said.
As soon as Li Chengqian waved his hand at Wang Quan, Wang Quan immediately stepped forward and handed over the prepared evidence to Xue Wanche.
Xue Wanche didn't care, he and Hou Junji were talking in private, and no one would be able to know what their secret conversation was.
No matter how secretive they are, there will always be times when they are negligent, and the evidence that Wang Quan handed over to Xue Wanche is where they are negligent.
Xue Wanche glanced at it casually, but this casual glance made his hair tingle with fright, and his back was even more frightened into a cold sweat.
The above content mainly records a few sentences about the dialogue between him and Hou Junji, most of which are some speculations and some reasoning, but they restore nearly eighty percent of the things they conspired to.
The more Xue Wanche looked down, the more panicked he became! With these, he Xue Wanche was charged with rebellion, and he Xue Wanche would die without a place to be buried.
Sometimes, if you are convicted of rebellion, you don't have to have sufficient evidence, as long as it can be convincing and impossible for everyone to refute, then your charge of rebellion will be established.
Xue Wanche's current situation belongs to this kind of situation, as long as the prince thinks that you are going to rebel, you can directly take him down and punish him.
"I wonder if Xue Qing can understand the meaning of the widow after reading this? What do you remember? Li Chengqian said with a smile.
"The minister understands what His Highness means, thank you for the reminder, the minister has already remembered everything!" Xue Wanche wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said.
Xue Wanche is also weak enough, when he first took refuge in Prince Yin, he originally thought that he would be able to be prosperous and wealthy from now on.
Who knew that His Majesty Li Er launched the Xuanwumen Revolution in advance, and killed Prince Yin and King Qi before they could react, and finally won the supreme power of the empire.
And he, Xue Wanche, could only go to the mountains to live in seclusion, but fortunately, His Majesty Li Er cherished talents and sent someone to recruit him out of the mountains.
Over the years, he has been loyal to His Majesty Li Er, and he can be regarded as a miracle feat, and he is also an official to the general of the Left Guard.
Later, in the battle for succession, he was very close to Li Tai, the king of Wei, and originally thought that Li Tai would be able to win, but who knew that he had made a wrong choice.
Li Tai was deposed as a concubine, and those who were close to Li Tai were all disposed of by His Majesty Li Er, if it weren't for his Xue Wanche's meritorious service to the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that he would not even be able to do a small soldier.
Just when he was depressed, the Marquis of Chen appeared in front of him and instigated him to plot a rebellion together.
Thousands of calculations are not as good as heaven, Xue Wanche once again lost to the heavens, and the matter of conspiring with Hou Junji was actually detected by the prince.
If the prince is investigated, he Xue Wanche will die, let alone glory and wealth in this life, his life may not be guaranteed.
I have to say that Xue Wanche's luck is also weak enough, and he has not stood in the right position several times.
