Chapter 399: The Undercurrent of the East Palace

Hou Junji, as one of the founding generals of the Tang Dynasty, originally had no need to go to the prince's troubled waters, such as Li Jing and Li Ji, Cheng Yanjin and others, they all had a neutral attitude towards Li Tai and Li Chengqian's struggle for the throne. However, Hou Junji is unwilling to be subordinate, he likes to compare with others in everything, and among the military generals of the entire Tang Dynasty, he looks down on anyone, and even Li Jing, the head of the military generals, he has a heart to compare.

The last time he led his troops to attack Gaochang, he was arrested and imprisoned because he allowed his subordinates to rob, but Li Shimin remembered the old feelings, so he did not embarrass him, and soon released Hou Junji, but after this incident, his military exploits in destroying Gaochang were gone, which made Hou Junji's desire to use military merits to worship the prime minister in vain.

Originally, this matter did not make Hou Junji dissatisfied, but what people are most afraid of is comparison, the last time Li Shimin destroyed Goguryeo, Li Ji made a great contribution, so he was promoted to the right servant of Shangshu, and the position was the same as Li Jing, which made Hou Junji very dissatisfied, Li Jing used to press on his head, but now even Li Ji has climbed on his head, which makes him really unbearable. It is precisely based on this that Hou Junji accepted Li Chengqian's solicitation and became an important figure in the prince's line, hoping that by virtue of his support, he could overtake Li Jing and Li Ji after Li Chengqian ascended the throne and became the first military general of the Tang Dynasty.

However, although Hou Junji's utilitarianism is very heavy, he is still a little loyal to Li Shimin, and he doesn't want to go to the last step until the last resort, so he also opposes Li Yuanchang's proposal. And although Du He is the son of a famous minister, he does not have his father's ability, but he grew up with the prince since he was a child, so he has a deep friendship. Although it is also one of the cores of the princelings, but in this kind of big thing. He couldn't make up his mind.

Li Chengqian saw that one of Li Yuanchang's three people supported him. One objected, and the other Du He looked at him, and he didn't want to go to the last step in his heart, so he sighed and said: "Uncle Huang, I'll be patient this time, as for the last step, you can't start it unless you have to, but Hou Qing, you must also make good preparations, and pay attention to confidentiality." Don't let anyone know! ”

Since Li Chengqian spoke like this, Li Yuanchang couldn't say it anymore, and Hou Junji was secretly relieved in his heart, and the three of them comforted Li Chengqian a few more words, and then left together.

After seeing that everyone was leaving, Li Chengqian stayed in the study for a while, although he wanted to kill Li Tai, the younger brother of a fellow mother, with his own hands, but now there was nothing he could do, and in the end he had to sulk for a long time. Then he returned to his dormitory, and when he saw a palace beauty standing outside the dormitory, he finally showed a little smile on his face.

I saw that this beauty outside the dormitory was quite tall and slender and graceful. It looks extremely attractive, with a melon seed face and picturesque eyebrows. It's just beautiful. However, the only regret is that this beauty's breasts are flat. There is not the slightest undulation in sight, and it can be said to be a veritable airport.

And if you look closely. Then you will find that this palace beauty actually has an Adam's apple on her neck, and her hands and feet are bigger than ordinary women. That's right, everyone should have guessed that although this man in palace clothes looks like a woman, he is actually a very feminine-looking man.

This 'beauty' dressed as a man and a woman is called Chengxin, he is Li Chengqian's male favorite, and he is usually very favored by Li Chengqian, so although Li Chengqian's mood is not good today, when he saw Xiangxin, he immediately left all his previous troubles behind.

In fact, the ancients were not as old-fashioned as some people in later generations advertised, for example, in terms of sexual relations, they were even much more open than later generations, such as homosexuality, although the ancients did not advocate, but they did not prohibit it, at most they thought that this person's virtue was wrong, and it would not be scolded by the world, and even in the aristocratic class of individual eras, good masculinity became a common disease of men in the entire aristocratic class. Although the Tang Dynasty was not as prominent as the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, it was not uncommon.

Li Chengqian, as the crown prince, naturally has no shortage of women around him, probably because there are too many women, so he became interested in men at a young age, especially after seeing the satisfaction of boys and girls, he is even more in love with treasures, the crown princess of the East Palace and Liangdi, Liangyuan, etc., have received more favors together, but they are not as much as satisfied with this man.

"Prince, you're back, the slave family has been waiting for you for a long time!" As soon as he saw Li Chengqian, he immediately showed a woman's coquettish smile and greeted him, but although his voice was delicate, the characteristics of the male voice could not be concealed.

"Hehe, talk to Duhe and them a few more words, let the beauty wait for a long time, it's windy outside, let's go in quickly, don't let the wind blow my little beauty away!" Li Chengqian didn't feel disgusted at all, and flirted with his heart. And the satisfaction was also coquettish, pinching two powder fists that were larger than ordinary women and kept hitting Li Chengqian's chest, but it was not so much a fight, but it was more like a massage. (It's disgusting, everyone is free to imagine)

and flirting into the dormitory, the eunuchs and maids in the dormitory immediately retreated with interest, which made the two big men completely let go, you and I told about lovesickness, although the two of them were separated for less than six hours.

Just when Li Chengqian and Chengxin were in love, suddenly there was a eunuch outside the palace to report: "Prince Qiyu, Shao Zhan Shi and right concubine Zhang Xuansu asks to see!" ”

As soon as he heard the name Zhang Xuansu, Li Chengqian's good mood was immediately destroyed, and he said to the outside in a cold voice: "No, let him come back tomorrow!" ”

Zhang Xuansu is a well-known minister, and his temper is similar to Wei Zheng's, and when he admonishes him, he has always been straightforward. Li Shimin could even endure Wei Zheng's stinky temper, and naturally admired Zhang Xuansu very much, so he put him next to the crown prince Li Chengqian, and let him advise him from time to time, hoping to make him his son's Wei Zheng.

However, Li Shimin forgot that not everyone can have the stomach like him and can endure the accusations of others in person. Zhang Xuansu is indeed a minister of direct advice, and he is also very competent by Li Chengqian's side as Li Shimin hopes, but Li Chengqian is not Li Shimin, he doesn't have such a big belly, and every time he is angry by Zhang Xuansu's direct advice, and sometimes he even has the intention of killing people with a knife, as for the opinions put forward by Zhang Xuansu, naturally they are all taken as a deaf ear regardless of whether they are right or wrong.

Li Chengqian was extremely disgusted with Zhang Xuansu, so when he heard that he was asking to see him, he immediately refused to see the other party. The eunuchs outside did not dare to disobey the prince's order, and immediately went down to tell Zhang Xuansu. Zhang Xuansu is a middle-aged man in his forties, a little chubby, and his complexion is very white, with three strands of beard, he looks like a white-faced traitor, but people can't look good, they are famous ministers and Qing officials in history.

After Zhang Xuansu heard the eunuch's reply, he also knew that the prince hated him, and he might not be summoned this time, so he had already made preparations, only to see him take out a piece of music from his sleeve and say: "Father-in-law, please present this recital to the prince, everything Weichen wants to say is here!" ”

The eunuch who passed the message took it with a bitter face, and he also knew that as long as the prince saw this recital, his mood would definitely become extremely bad, and even he would be affected, but he couldn't afford to offend this Lord Zhan Shi in front of him, and he had to pass on this recital if he didn't pass it on.

Sure enough, when Li Chengqian in the dormitory saw this recital, he was immediately so angry that he tore it to pieces, and the person next to him saw that the prince was so angry, and he was also frightened, and he hid aside and didn't dare to come forward.

The reason why Li Chengqian was so angry was that Zhang Xuansu put forward his opinions to him again in his recital, and the first opinion was to accuse him of being a prince, but he was addicted to play and did not want to study, so he advised Li Chengqian to study more and not be confused by the traitors and villains around him, thus abandoning his studies.

This first opinion is nothing more than a clichΓ©, and it is not the first time that Zhang Xuansu has mentioned it, so it is not enough to make Li Chengqian so angry, the main reason is still in the second opinion, but this opinion is about the satisfaction of his side. Although a good manhood is not a big deal for nobles, Li Chengqian is the crown prince, so virtue is very important, and the habit of breaking sleeves happens to be a loss of personal morality, so the fact that he is satisfied with a man cannot be promoted.

Xiangxin has always been dressed as a woman, the reason for this is that Li Chengqian likes the other party's appearance, and secondly, it is to hide his identity, so not many people know that he is a man, and those who know it dare not leak the news, but he didn't expect Zhang Xuansu to know where he learned the news, and he proposed in the second opinion to let the prince drive out Xiangxin, so as not to tarnish the face of the Tang royal family because of his personal morality.

Now Li Chengqian is the most pampered and satisfied, and even the crown princess didn't dare to say anything after knowing about it, but he didn't expect Zhang Xuansu, an outsider, to dare to ask him to leave the palace in person. However, when Li Chengqian's anger was almost vented, when he saw the pitiful satisfaction next to him, he immediately pulled the other party into his arms to comfort him.

was so troubled by Zhang Xuansu's performance, Li Chengqian didn't have the heart to be affectionate, and returned to the study angrily, wanting to be alone and quiet, but he didn't expect that the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He is also the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he is just angry with his younger brother Li Tai outside, and now even the people in the East Palace are angry with him, and they don't give him the slightest face, which makes him suddenly feel a crazy killing intent in his heart, and the expression on his face has become a little hideous.
