Chapter 279: The Storm is Coming

Hou Junji looked at Empress Changsun with resentment on his face.

Empress Eldest Sun was suddenly alert, and continued to say coldly: "Hou Junji, this palace advises you not to act rashly. You are a person, you think you are smart, do you think you can hide it from my Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? Will my Majesty the Tang Emperor not know that you are unscrupulous and bold? Will they be defenseless against you? If you don't believe it, you can give it a try, if you dare to launch the left and right Qianniuwei army, there will be my Tang righteous warrior immediately, cut off your dog's head. ”

Hou Junji hesitated, he didn't dare to take the risk, but chose to say to the eldest grandson queen respectfully: "Queen Qiyu, the minister doesn't dare to act rashly, the minister is just planning for His Royal Highness the Prince, please don't be careful." The minister is absolutely loyal to my Datang and to my His Majesty the Tang Emperor. ”

Empress Eldest Sun let Hou Junji leave the Prince's East Palace with an expressionless face, and stayed away from the Crown Prince Chengqian.

After Hou Junji left, Empress Eldest Sun let out a long sigh and severely reprimanded Prince Chengqian: "Recently, you have been far away from Hou Junji, do you think Hou Junji is really helping you?" He's pushing you into the fire pit. Do you say that you are your father's opponent? Besides, the Shandong Hao clan and the Southern Shi clan are really so easy to provoke, he Hou Junji dared to kill the Shandong Hao clan, the head of the Southern Shi clan and the patriarchs of various families in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, and the Shandong Hao clan and the Southern Shi clan will definitely dare to set off a monstrous wave in Shandong, Henan, and the entire southern Tang Dynasty, turning the entire Datang upside down. Back then, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty only suppressed the Shandong Hao clan too ruthlessly, and the Shandong Hao clan dared to support the righteous army to cut off the grain route of the 400,000 army of the Sui Yang Emperor to conquer Goguryeo, resulting in 400,000 troops having no food to eat, and the entire 400,000 troops fled back to the Central Plains, but 20,000, more than 380,000 soldiers were buried in Goguryeo, and the bones have not been recovered. Even if you take 10,000 steps back, Hou Junji supported you to ascend to the throne. Do you think you can really control the world? Do you have military power in your hands? Isn't it at the mercy of Hou Junji? Just a puppet. When the time comes, you will understand that instead of being a puppet with no real power, it is better to be content with your duties now and be a prince with real power? ”

The crown prince Chengqian said with shame on his face: "What the queen mother said is true. Erchen knew that he was wrong. ”

Soon, Empress Changsun returned to the Lizheng Palace. She stood in front of the window blankly, looked out the window, and said in a choked voice: "Your Majesty, your Datang, a storm is coming!" Those who have shown great faithfulness to you while you are there. At this time, they all have to jump out one by one and make trouble! ”

In the dark night sky, a flash of lightning flashed, followed by a thunderclap, and a torrential rain suddenly fell. The curtain in the Lizheng Hall was blown by the cold wind blowing from the window, and the eldest grandson queen looked out of the dark window, her face was full of anxiety and sorrow, and she looked at the night on the horizon. I cried in my heart: "Your Majesty, come back quickly." With such a heavy burden on the Tang Dynasty, how can the concubine and Cheng Qian afford it? ”

Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, is the residence of Li Ke, the king of Shu.

Li Ke, the king of Shu, paced back and forth anxiously in the study. Fang Xuanling and Fang Xiang ordered Li Jing, the general of the auxiliary state, to abandon the attack on the Turkic Jieli Khan's tent in Dingxiang. Letting Li Jing inspect the border of the Tang Dynasty and the state made Li Ke, the king of Shu, feel an ominous feeling, and he secretly said in his heart: "Is it really the city of Mayi that is broken?" Misfortune has happened to my father? Li Ke, the king of Shu, thought of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and was very jealous of himself, the prince Cheng Qianhe, who had long wanted to get rid of him. Hou Junji, the general of Zuo Qianniuwei, who was quick to follow, a huge sense of fear hit Li Ke, the king of Shu, and almost overwhelmed him like a mountain. He knew it deep in his heart. If his father, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Hou Junji will definitely get rid of himself as soon as possible in order to support the crown prince to take the throne, and remove hidden dangers for the prince Chengqian.

Even though Li Ke, the king of Shu, was pacing back and forth in the study, he couldn't calm his heart, but became more and more upset. He thought of immediately escaping from Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and fled to the military camp of Cheng Biting Jin, the general of the Left Leader Wei outside Chang'an City, and instigating Cheng Biting Jin to make an uprising.

After making up his mind, Li Ke, the king of Shu, asked his henchmen to prepare horses, and prepared to secretly leave the palace to make an appointment with Fu Xian at home and his brother-in-law Cheng Huailiang to go out of the city together and go to the camp of Cheng Yanjin, the general of the left army.

After a while, the back door of the mansion of Li Ke, the king of Shu, slowly opened, and after Li Ke, the king of Shu, his henchman poked his head out of the door, and then walked out of the gate with Li Ke, the king of Shu in civilian clothes, with guards leading several war horses and following closely.

Li Ke, the king of Shu, was just about to get on his horse, and a carriage came quickly and stopped in front of the war horse of Li Ke, the king of Shu.

Li Ke, the king of Shu, was stunned for a moment, and the curtain of the carriage was opened by the people in the carriage.

Sitting in the carriage were the Ministry of Officials, the Gong Shi Langzhong, the Southern Shi Clan's Chief Cen Wenwen, and the Secretary and Supervisor Xiao Yu.

Li Ke, the king of Shu, was pleasantly surprised: "Lord Cen and Lord Xiao are you?" ”

Cen Wenwen glanced at Li Ke, the king of Shu, and said with concern: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, when is it now, why do you still want to run outside?" Let's go back to the house and talk secretly. ”

Return to the palace and sit down in the study.

Cen Wenwen said to Li Ke: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, there have been too many official duties in the Hongwen Palace in the past few days, and Lord Xiao Yu Xiao and I are really inseparable, but I can't rest assured that His Royal Highness is in my heart, so I took advantage of the night to take a trip." It's just that I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived outside His Highness's door, I saw His Highness going outside. The minister couldn't help but ask, where is Your Highness going? What is Your Highness going to do? ”

Li Ke, the king of Shu, said hesitantly: "Lord Cen, Lord Xiao, Fang Xuanling and Fang Xiang have ordered Li Jing, the general of the auxiliary state, to give up the attack on the Dingxiang Khan of the Turkic Jieli Khan, and instead inspect the border of the state. Therefore, I suspect that Ma Yi may have suffered a major accident, it is likely that Ma Yi City was broken, and his father is also very likely to have suffered an accident. In Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, there are only two guards guarded by the left and right Qianniuwei, and most of the generals in the two guards are the old troops of Hou Junji, the general of the left Qianniuwei, and Hou Junji is eager to get rid of me immediately and clear the obstacles for the crown prince Chengqian's ascension, so I want to sneak out of the house and pull Cheng Huailiang to hide in the army of the left leader of the army called Cheng Yanjin. ”

Li Ke just said to hide, and didn't dare to tell Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu about wanting to instigate Cheng Biting Jin's uprising. (To be continued......)
