Chapter 659: The Secret Letter Is Sent to the East Palace! Hou Junji's way of death
Chang'an, Taiji Palace.
In the East Palace, Li Chengqian was holding a scripture book and reading it with relish.
The previous Taoist Buddhist scriptures such as "Changqing Jing Sutra" and "Diamond Sutra" are all about to be memorized.
At this time, he had already taken a fancy to the Tao Te Ching.
"Our ancestor of the Li family is really a great wisdom."
Li Chengqian couldn't help but be amazed and muttered,
"To the extreme, keep quiet and ......"
He muttered as he shifted his position.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Helan Chushi, the commander of the right guard, asks to see you."
Slave maid report.
Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows.
"Call him in."
"Yes."
The slave and maid turned around, and in a moment, Helan Chushi, who had removed his armor and sword, walked in front of Li Chengqian.
"The last general, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
He fell to his knees on one knee with a solemn expression.
"But General Hou has news?"
Li Chengqian lowered his voice and asked in a low voice.
Helan Chushi nodded, and then quickly got up and closed the doors and windows, making this inner room a secret room.
"Your Highness, please look!"
"This is a handwritten letter from my father-in-law! Please enlighten yourself! ”
Li Chengqian took it gently, opened the envelope, and read it intently.
"Have you read the contents of this letter?"
He asked.
Helan Chushi shook his head again and again, and said busily:
"This is a letter from my father-in-law to His Royal Highness, how dare the last general open it privately?"
"As soon as the secret letter arrived, the last general sent it non-stop, and I didn't dare to stop!"
Li Chengqian nodded.
Then, he got up and grabbed a book from the shelf and began to compare it word by word.
Since it is a secret letter, it is naturally not easy for people to read, and it has to be through the 'code book' identified by both parties in advance to truly understand it.
The room was quiet, and Helan Chushi didn't dare to come out, looking at the prince with a little apprehension.
He knows.
What the father-in-law and the prince are doing is pouring wealth and wealth, and it is also a head-killing business!
One thought to heaven, one thought to hell!
It's so exciting! Every time he thought of this, Helan Chushi's figure couldn't help but tremble.
"What are you shaking?"
Li Chengqian glanced at him and said in a deep voice,
"Scared?"
Helan Chushi: "!! ”
"Nope! There is no ......"
He hurriedly said,
"The last general is just excited! Being able to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a blessing that the last general Sansheng III cultivated! ”
When Li Chengqian heard this, he sneered.
"Hehe, it's not that exaggerated."
"If you are not careful in this matter, it will be a rolling head, and even Lone will not be spared!"
"Of course, if you do it well, it is needless to say, your dragon skills are indispensable, and you will not be stingy if you give it."
Poof!
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!"
Helan Chu fell to his knees and shouted.
"Be quiet!"
Li Chengqian frowned and scolded,
"Afraid that others will hear it?"
Helan Chushi was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly covered his mouth and lowered his head as if he had done something wrong.
In Li Chengqian's eyes, a touch of banter and mockery appeared.
"Your father-in-law said in the letter that the fight against Gaochang was very smooth, and it was good news all the way, and the king of Gaochang was so frightened that he died, and it is estimated that in half a month, he will be able to defeat Gaochang! As for the return of the class to the DPRK and the rapid march, he should be able to return to Chang'an in July and August. ”
He raised his hand and said,
"Get up."
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie." Helan Chushi got up at this time.
"In other words, the time for us to do big things is in July and August!"
Li Chengqian said in a deep voice,
"Now, there are less than two months to prepare, and soon, in the blink of an eye, it will be there!"
"How's the preparation of all the people in your hands? Lone needs a group of soldiers who are absolutely die-hard! ”
Helan Chushi's expression was shocked.
Two months!
How fast it has been!
"This ......"
He was a little embarrassed,
"Your Highness, the last general is still being tested, and he is a little eyebrow-raising."
Li Chengqian's face changed suddenly.
"Rubbish!"
"Now there are only two months left, and you are still trying! Do you not have a single person who is loyal to Lonely? ”
"You have been the commander of the East Palace for so many years, have you been in vain?! Don't even have a cronie in your hand?! ”
Helan Chushi: "...... The last will be convicted. ”
This reprimand, he can only suffer, and he can't refute it at all.
There are cronies, but if you dare to rebel and go against His Majesty...... How many can there be?
He's been working hard......
Li Chengqian had a cold face and was silent for a while before he said:
"There will be a brave man under the reward! Nothing else, now all you have to do is recruit as many diehards as possible! ”
"The treatment and money are enough! All they want is their loyalty! What you want is the hard work at the critical moment! ”
"If Lone's preparation here is not sufficient, General Hou's letter, how do you call Lone to respond?!"
Helan Chushi nodded yes again and again.
"Yes, the last general will do everything in his power to complete this! Never leave hidden dangers for Your Highness! ”
He packed the ticket.
When Li Chengqian heard this, his expression eased a little.
"In fact, the dead are not too expensive, the main thing is to win the father."
"Although my father was brave back then, he is now old after all, thirty years old...... No, as long as twenty dead soldiers rush forward, they will surely capture him unarmed! ”
"At that time, if General Hou should cooperate with the outside world, the big thing can be decided!"
As he spoke, he took a deep breath and put the letter away and tucked it into his sleeve.
"This letter, I will find a brazier and burn it directly, leaving no trace."
Li Chengqian said solemnly,
"You have to remember that what we do must be secret, without the slightest leakage, and without leaving the slightest evidence!"
"If there's a little bit of a mistake, we're all done! There is no place to bury them! ”
"Got it?!"
Helan Chushi's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly nodded yes.
"Your Highness, rest assured! The last general must be careful and never dare to make the slightest mistake! ”
When Li Chengqian heard this, he smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"But don't be too nervous."
He was relieved,
"As long as you follow the plan of General Gu and Hou, it will be foolproof! We've done it countless times! ”
"You just need to do your part step by step, and what awaits you is the wealth of the sky."
It can't always be scary, and you still have to give sweet dates when you should give them.
Otherwise, Helan Chushi would really be scared to pee.
"Yes!"
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!"
Sure enough, seeing the big cake painted by the prince, Helan Chushi's eyes suddenly lit up!
"Go ahead, you can't stay here for too long."
Li Chengqian waved his hand and admonished,
"Do what needs to be done, and send a letter from General Hou as soon as there is one."
"Next, Lone must maintain close contact with him, so as to ensure that he acts synchronously and does not make mistakes!"
"Yes!" Helan Chushi nodded solemnly, turned around and opened the door, poked his head outside, and found that there was nothing abnormal, so he boldly walked out.
Li Chengqian, who was in the house, watched him leave like this, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.
Snort.
He pulled the letter out of his bosom and read it and read it.
"Now, just relying on this secret letter, you can make Hou Junji die without a place to be buried, right?"
Li Chengqian said softly,
"Master, the child will be able to make you feel good in no time......
Reading softly, he carefully put away the letter and put it in the cupboard.
This is the evidence that Hou Junji will be completely killed in the future!
Of course, this time, he didn't just want to kill Hou Junji, so this drama should be played well......
……
In the afternoon, the Imperial Garden.
"I said, let Ke'er choose for herself!"
Li Shimin looked at Concubine Yang in front of him and said with some displeasure,
"If he wants to go, then I will let him go! If he is really reluctant, then I will never force it! ”
"All that said, what are you making a fuss about?"
Concubine Yang was crying and crying at the moment, pleading:
"Your Majesty, with Ke'er's character, he will definitely obey your orders."
"The concubine is such a good son, I really don't want him to suffer outside the fortress...... Isn't it very good that you sealed the King of Wu before? Let him settle in Wu and enjoy his happiness......"
"Please, Your Majesty, woo-woo-woo......"
Li Shimin's face darkened.
"A woman's opinion!"
Li Er said,
"What's so good about being a blessed prince? For an ambitious man, the most important thing is to have a career that he can work hard for! ”
"If he goes to Tuyuhun, he will be able to control the military, political and financial power there, and his power is much greater than that of being a vassal king! And he can also expand his territory and give himself a fight! ”
"Isn't that good?"
When Concubine Yang heard this, she burst into tears.
"How bitter, how dangerous......"
"Your Majesty, I beg you, I beg you, I beg you, I beg ......you,
Crash!
Li Shimin's sleeves flicked, and he was already irritable.
"Hugh is going to say it again!"
He scolded,
"Go back to your palace! This is a matter of the previous dynasty, not something that your harem can interfere with! ”
"If you want to entangle again, I will punish you for thinking about it behind closed doors!"
"Humph! It's good, but I lost my interest in appreciating the flowers! Come on, take Concubine Yang back to the palace! ”
After that, Li Shimin ignored Concubine Yang's crying and turned around.
Several palace maids and maidservants also quickly stepped forward and took the crying Concubine Yang away from the imperial garden.
"Your Majesty, don't be angry."
On the side, a slender and beautiful woman gently cleaned up Li Shimin's clothes and said softly,
"Concubine Yang, she is also a beloved son, and she can't bear her son to suffer."
"When the concubine goes to explain her properly, she must be able to understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts, and she will definitely come to apologize when the time comes."
Li Shimin sat at the stone table, his expression softened slightly.
"That's best, you're the most comforting, talk to her well."
He waved his hand and said,
"With Ke'er's temperament, he must be willing to go."
"If I want to say, that's also a good thing, those who have the ability should go out and wander, and those who can't afford it will enjoy happiness in the country."
As he spoke, a sound of footsteps entered the Imperial Garden.
"See Your Majesty."
"I've seen Wang Niangniang."
The eldest grandson Wuji walked in, saluted Li Shimin, and also greeted the beauty on the side.
This Wang Niangniang, as soon as she enters the palace, she is Zhaoyi's position.
It's not because of how powerful her background is, but because her sister died in childbirth in the process of giving birth to a child for Li Shimin, and the last two lives were not saved by adults and children.
Li Shimin couldn't help it, so he recruited his sister in, and directly sealed Zhaoyi and accompanied him.
This Wang Zhaoyi is indeed smart and caring, although she is very favored by Li Er, and she is by her side when she has nothing to do on weekdays.
Sometimes Li Er didn't have time to take Li Zhi's child, but Wang Zhaoyi helped take care of it, so she and Li Zhi were also very affectionate.
This is also the reason why she is just a Zhaoyi, and the eldest grandson Wuji is still so respectful.
"It's an auxiliary machine."
Li Shimin raised his hand and said,
"Excuse me, what's the matter?"
Seeing this, Wang Zhaoyi consciously got up and left without the slightest hesitation.
In the affairs of the previous dynasty, the harem must not interfere, and it is taboo to even hear about it.
experienced Concubine Yang's unreasonable troubles, and her actions made Li Shimin quite comfortable.
"Good news from the front."
The eldest grandson Wuji handed over a letter and said,
"Hou Junji smashed Gaochang Tiandi City, killed 2,000 Gaochang soldiers, and captured more than 7,000 men and women."
"Gaochang King Ko Wentai died of fright, and now his son Ko Zhisheng has succeeded to the throne, and it is estimated that he will not last long before he surrenders."
Li Shimin was a little stunned.
"Huh?"
He was displeased,
"Scared to death?"
"Wasn't this Ko Wentai crazy before? That's it...... Scared to death? ”
"What a shit!"
Li Shimin was a little unhappy.
With such an incompetent waste, how could He De allow himself to send a large army to exterminate it?
It's really a cattle slaughtering knife to cut flies.
"It's also that Hou Junji is attacking too fiercely with his troops, where has the average little king seen such a battle?"
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled,
"Not to mention anything else, he really doesn't want to die when he fights, and he dares to give up his life, who is not afraid of seeing it?"
"Then Lu Wentai is also lucky, if he is captured alive, he doesn't know how to be abused."
Li Shimin pursed his lips.
"I knew that I wouldn't gather such a large army, and now Hou Junji doesn't count the heavy soldiers in his hands, there are seventy or eighty thousand! It's useless to send so many people over......"
He sighed,
"Well, that's good news! Wiped out Murong Fuyun and Lu Wentai in one fell swoop, I will see who else dares to call out again! ”
"You send a letter of commendation to Hou Junji to boost the morale of the soldiers on the front line."
The eldest grandson Wuji nodded yes, this is all a routine operation.
"But...... Your Majesty, Hou Junji seems to be a bit of an unusual move. ”
Li Shimin raised his eyes slightly.
"Oh? How? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji took out a note from his bosom again, handed it over, and said:
"Your Majesty, please see."
"This is the report from the Hundred Cavalry Division, and when Hou Junji was writing the war report, he also wrote a letter and gave it to his son-in-law Helan Chushi."
Li Shimin shrugged.
"What's this, it's just a family letter."
He dismisses the word,
"Maybe it's to report safety to my family."
Eldest Sun Wuji nodded and said:
"It's possible, but ...... After all, Helan Chushi is the guard of the East Palace, and his identity is a little sensitive. ”
"Would you like to check it out?"
Li Shimin stroked his beard.
"Whatever you want."
"If you think it's necessary, check it out."
