The emperor's heart is unpredictable. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hou Junji made a great contribution to repelling Tubo this time, and Li Shimin was rewarded for his reason, but Hou Junji took refuge in the prince, although it was private, but they walked together after all.

So no matter what, while Li Shimin praises Hou Junji, he must ring the alarm bell for him.

And what kind of alarm bell is the most powerful?

Easy to store.

Is it not because Hou Junji defected to the crown prince Li Chengqian because Li Chengqian is the prince and the prince of the Tang Dynasty?

But if he let Hou Junji know that he might abolish the crown prince, would he still follow the prince with all his heart?

Let Tang Zhou be the teacher of Li Zhi, the king of Jin, is a wake-up call, who doesn't know that Tang Zhou is powerful, who doesn't know that he is talented, and the prince who can make him a teacher must be a prince who is deeply favored by Li Shimin, and the prince favored by Li Shimin may become the prince.

As long as Li Shimin let Hou Junji understand this, it is enough.

He is still very jealous of military generals, especially people like Hou Junji, so if he wants to beat, he will use the most powerful way to beat.

The banquet was originally very exciting, but after Li Shimin said that Tang Zhou was the teacher of Li Zhi, the king of Jin, the whole thing became not so good, everyone seemed to be preoccupied, and the meal was not so concerned.

And Li Shimin's goal was achieved, so he didn't care whether others were happy or not.

The banquet was over, and after Hou Junji left the palace, he quietly went to the East Palace, and after leaving the capital for so long, he should have asked his master to say goodbye.

Hou Junji came shortly after the crown prince Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace, and after seeing the prince, he hurriedly saluted, and then said something that was inconvenient to speak in the palace to explain today's situation, and after explaining this, he showed his loyalty to the crown prince Li Chengqian.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the reason why the last general was able to lead the troops to the expedition again is all due to the support of the prince, and the last general of mercy is unforgettable."

Today, Li Shimin's meaning Hou Junji has seen it, and he is also a little tempted, but even so, the current crown prince Li Chengqian is still his master, and in order to eliminate the prince Li Chengqian's suspicion of himself, he must also show his loyalty to the crown prince Li Chengqian.

Li Shimin intends to let him break away from the crown prince, if he doesn't express it, so that the prince is moved by a lot of suspicions, then the prince Li Chengqian will let him go?

It is true that the crown prince Li Chengqian is not as favored as before now, but his power is still there, and it is still possible to find a random excuse to make him recover.

When the crown prince Li Chengqian heard Hou Junji's words, he nodded with satisfaction, his father's words did make him a little nervous today, but he was relieved to see that Hou Junji came to the East Palace as soon as he left the palace, and he also showed his loyalty.

And the rest assured prince Li Chengqian has to use some more means to win over, the crown prince Li Chengqian is not a stupid person, if he does not give Hou Junji enough benefits, then Hou Junji may leave him at any time, not to mention that his father said those words today.

However, he believes that in the face of interests, Hou Junji will still choose him.

"General Hou is serious, you are one of the best generals in my Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty will depend on you to protect it in the future, you go to lead the troops to repel Tubo, it is well deserved, it is well deserved."

The prince's words were vague, but the meaning Hou Junji heard it, since he is one of the best generals, then he will be the marshal of the Tang Dynasty in the future, right?

This is also equivalent to the promise of the crown prince Li Chengqian to sit down with him, if one day he Li Chengqian becomes the son of the Tang Dynasty, then he will make Hou Junji the marshal of the Tang Dynasty.

After the two of them came and went, they were very satisfied, and then Hou Junji left quietly.

After Hou Junji left, Du He, who was hiding inside, walked out, although he was very heartbroken by the prince Li Chengqian, who was given 5,000 yuan of money, but as the most important person of the prince Li Chengqian, he still chose to continue to support the prince, and forgot the heartache of being borrowed.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, although Hou Junji is not particularly capricious, we still have to be careful, and we should find a way to completely tie him up with us, so that he can never betray His Royal Highness the Prince."

Du He walked out slowly, the crown prince Li Chengqian had regained his previous majesty, and he nodded: "What Mr. Du said is good, then this matter will be handed over to Mr. Du." ”

Speaking of this, the crown prince Li Chengqian waved his hand and asked Du He to sit down opposite him: "Today, my father asked Tang Zhou to be the teacher of Li Zhi, the king of Jin, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Du He said: "Obviously, the saint has the intention of supporting Li Zhi, the king of Jin, but this may be a good thing or a bad thing for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

"How?"

"If the saint has no intention of making it easy to save, the saint's support for Li Zhi, the king of Jin, is tantamount to wanting to weaken the power of Li Tai, the king of Wei, or the saint wants to let Li Zhi, the king of Jin, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, fight, and then highlight the power and status of your prince, but if not, it may be fatal to your Royal Highness the prince."

Du He didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was almost understandable, if not, then Li Shimin was preparing for Yi Chu, and supporting Li Zhi, the king of Jin, was just to add an opponent to Li Tai, the king of Wei.

When the crown prince Li Chengqian heard this, his heart was suddenly shocked, and then he asked, "What does Mr. Du think this prince should do now?" ”

The crown prince Li Chengqian was a little nervous, if he couldn't become the crown prince, if Li Tai, the king of Wei, became the crown prince, where would he still live?

In the battle for imperial power, either you die or I die, if he is called emperor, the king of Wei will die, and if the king of Wei is called emperor, he will definitely die.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, don't panic, easy storage is a big deal, it's not easy for the saint to say it's easy to think, as long as you don't make a big mistake, even if the saint wants to, the ministers won't agree, so the subordinates feel that His Royal Highness the prince might as well do more good things during this time, if you don't make a mistake, the saint will not be able to change your position as the prince, as for the Jin King Li Zhi and Tang Zhou, we might as well observe it first, if there is a chance, we can get rid of them, and the saint's plan will fail, and we will not dare to store it casually."

After listening to Du He's words, Prince Li Chengqian felt that it was very reasonable.

"What Mr. Du said is reasonable, okay, just do what you say, always pay attention to the movements of Li Zhi, the king of Jin, and Tang Zhou, and report it as soon as there is a situation."

Du He was ordered to retreat, and at this time in the Wei Palace, Li Tai, the king of Wei, was also instructing Du Gou to always pay attention to the eastward direction of Li Zhi, the king of Jin, and Tang Zhou, no matter what, Li Zhi, the king of Jin, was going to rise slowly, he didn't want to fight with the crown prince Li Chengqian, and he would have to fight with Li Zhi, the king of Jin, if he could, he would want to strangle Li Zhi, the king of Jin, in the cradle, so that he would not have the opportunity to fight with himself at all.

Moreover, in comparison, although Li Zhi, the king of Jin, is not as powerful as the crown prince Li Chengqian, some of his people are stronger than the prince, and he does not have so many problems, so he would rather be an opponent with the crown prince Li Chengqian than an enemy with someone like Li Zhi, the king of Jin.
