Chapter 281 The Change of the Prince (Part 1)
After Fang Jun left, Hou Junji sat on pins and needles in the handsome hall.
In addition to the left and right guards in the capital, there are still fifteen armies, and the total number is not less than 500,000. Why do you only choose soldiers from my left guard? And they transferred two thousand people at once!
What on earth does Your Majesty want to do?
Could it be that... His Majesty really believed Li Jing's words and was prepared to prevent me from treason?
Hou Junji kicked a stool next to him away and cursed "Mother!"
It’s all the fault of that Pharmacist Li!
Speaking of Zhenguan famous generals, Li Jing was a real handsome man. Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Li Ji, and even Hou Junji were all dissatisfied! He rode three thousand horses, bloodyed the court, and then captured Dingxiang, which was as shameful as the Wei River. His unpredictable military skills are enough to make all the famous generals in the world worship him!
However, Li Jing was too cautious in character and not very utilitarian. He was vaguely aware of His Majesty Li Er's fear of him, so he decisively surrendered all military power and retired to his home without any involvement in the military. In this way, His Majesty Li Er took pity on his talent and asked Li Jing to teach Hou Junji the art of war.
Hou Junji followed him for a while and learned every subtle detail, but Li Jing would not teach him. Hou Junji felt unhappy, so he complained to His Majesty Li Er, saying that Li Ji was hiding his personal interests and had a disobedient heart.
After hearing this, His Majesty Li Er went to blame Li Jing, but Li Jing replied: "This is Hou Junji who wants to rebel. Now that the Central Plains is stable, the military skills I taught him are enough to control the barbarians. Now Hou Junji is studying and doing his best to serve as ministers." The art of war is that he will have extraordinary ambitions.”
Another time, Hou Jun returned to Shangshu Province after returning to court. Because he was thinking about something, he rode a few steps past the provincial gate without realizing it.
When Li Jing saw this situation, he said to people: "Hou Junji does not care about others, and he will definitely rebel."
You just said it, but you said it in front of that old guy Wei Zheng. As a result, the old guy read a copy of Hou Junji in front of His Majesty Li Er...
Hou Junji didn't believe that His Majesty Li Er would believe those lies, but everything was possible. What if he believed it?
Hou Junji's eyes flickered and he was extremely frightened.
If His Majesty really doubts himself, then depending on His temper, he might be able to chop himself into pieces when he enters the palace one day...
The more Hou Junji thought about it, the more frightened he became. He didn't know what to do. At this time, there was the sound of footsteps outside the hall. He had to take a deep breath and sit back in his seat. However, he always felt that the sun today was too dazzling and dazzled him...
"General!"
The person who came was Chang Shi Cui Xulu.
"How?" Hou Junji asked with a gloomy face.
"A total of two thousand people have been recruited, and they are all strong, strong and brave men!" Cui Xulu replied in a low voice.
"Fuck!" Hou Junji cursed: "This is extremely unusual!"
After thinking about it, the more I thought about it, the more something was wrong. I stood up and said, "Prepare a horse for someone, he wants to go out!"
"No!" Cui Xulu agreed, opening his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated, turned around and retreated.
The general's temper is too headstrong. At this time, I'm afraid he won't listen to anyone's advice...
Hou Junji rode his horse and galloped all the way to the East Palace.
"Is the prince here?" Hou Junji handed the reins to the door and asked as he walked quickly into the Chongming Gate.
"I'm probably in Zuochunfang at the moment, waiting for the concubine's political class..." Before he could finish his words, Hou Junji had already disappeared.
The disciple stuck out his tongue and secretly wondered: This General Chen Guogong has always paid attention to rules and was meticulous in sitting, lying and walking. Maybe it was because he was not upright when he was a gangster, so he deliberately wanted to appear to be well-educated. Looks like...what's going on today?
Let us say that Hou Junji came to Zuochunfang in a hurry all the way. When he opened the door, he saw the prince Li Chengqian and the prince Zuo Shuzi Yu Zhining sitting opposite each other on the soft floor, each holding a book, but they were both talking and laughing. , the atmosphere is harmonious.
Hou Junji was in a daze. This scene... was a bit weird!
Needless to say, Yu Zhining was a man of great talent and learning. His great-grandfather was Yu Jin, the Taishi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He came from a scholarly family!
In the thirteenth year of Daye, the great ancestor Li Yuan raised troops in Jinyang and invaded Guanzhong. Yu Zhining went to Changchun Palace to meet Li Yuan, and was appointed as the secretary of the Weibei Road Marching Marshal's Mansion, where he assisted His Majesty Li Er together with Yin Kaishan and others. In the fourth year of Wude, His Majesty Li Er, who was still the King of Qin, was awarded the title of General Tiance and opened a literature museum.
Yu Zhining was awarded the title of Zhonglang in Tiance Mansion and concurrently served as a bachelor of literature.
This is also a minister of Conglong, with higher qualifications than his Hou Junji!
However, this person has a problem, that is, he has a strong temper and is also relatively pedantic. He never uses tact when speaking or doing things, and he is straight to the point, which can make people mad!
Li Chengqian ordered people to build a music room during the busy farming season. He kept working for several months and indulged in singing and dancing. Yu Zhining admonished him: "The craftsmen, officials and slaves are all illegal and desperate people. They come in and out with pliers, chisels and other items. Palace guards No questioning, the guards are in the palace Outside, how could it not be worrying if the slaves were in the palace? The drums sounded many times in the East Palace, and the officials and musicians were often kept in the palace and not allowed to leave. The emperor's oral warning in the past few years, His Highness did not want to think about His Majesty. What’s your opinion on this? ”
Li Chengqian appointed many eunuchs to have fun together. Yu Zhining also advised: "Eunuchs are mentally and physically weak. They are good at flattery. They rely on their masters' favor to dominate and create disasters. Therefore, eunuchs have been plagued by eunuchs in all dynasties. , why don’t you pay attention?”
Later, Li Chengqian secretly invited Turks to be intimate with each other. Yu Zhining once again admonished: "The Turks such as Da Gezhi have human faces and beast hearts, and it is difficult to educate them. It is very inappropriate to introduce them into the inner room."
Anyway, in the eyes of Prince Li Chengqian, no matter what he does, Yu Zhining doesn't like him!
If you don't like it, just don't like it. Who cares? But you always go to your father to complain, which is unbearable! Therefore, His Highness the Prince even secretly assigned an assassin to kill Yu Zhining...
But now, what did I see?
Hou Junji rubbed his eyes and stared at the two people talking happily...
"Hey! Duke Chen Guo is here?" Li Chengqian stood up from the couch and said with a smile: "These servants really don't know the rules. How can they not inform the Duke when he comes? It's easy for me to welcome him!"
Hou Junji swallowed, this style of painting is wrong...
In the past, Li Chengqian was the most harsh on the maids in the East Palace. He believed that these people reported their affairs to the emperor at any time, so he became increasingly unpopular with the emperor. He often beat and scolded them, and did not allow them to take turns. You have to work every day.
I just said one word so lightly today and it’s over?
Yu Zhining also stood up, smiled and said a few polite words to Hou Junji, and then said to Prince Li Chengqian: "Weichen has something to do at home, so I'll take my leave first. When your Majesty has some free time, you should read a few of the lessons Weichen just talked about." All over.”
Li Chengqian quickly bowed and saluted: "Master Yu, walk slowly..."
Yu Zhining smiled in return and turned to leave.
"Your Highness...when did you become so close to Yu Zhining?" Hou Junji asked suspiciously.
"Haha..." Li Chengqian smiled awkwardly, "Let's not talk about this. Chen Guogong is here, but there is something wrong?"
Hou Junji retreated to the door and looked around to make sure there was no one around. Then he returned to the hall and lowered his voice to express his worries.
However, what disappointed him was that Li Chengqian was expressionless throughout the whole process, and even more calm after listening.
"The Duke has filtered it."
"Filter?" Hou Junji was anxious, "This expedition to Gaochang is expected to start in autumn, but Your Majesty has transferred two thousand elite left guards at this time. Something must have happened in the court! But there is no trouble for the humble minister. I didn’t even hear it, it’s suspicious!”
Li Chengqian changed his usual impatience, smiled gently, and stared at Hou Junji with burning eyes: "My lord, do you really want to rebel?"
"Your Highness, be careful what you say!"
Hou Junji was scared to death and said anxiously: "How can you say such things? Be careful that walls have ears!"
That means that some things can be done but cannot be said...
Li Chengqian sighed secretly.
How could he not know what Hou Junji was thinking?
Since Li Yaoshi retired, Hou Junji has claimed to be the most famous general in the court. He was very dissatisfied with the reckless men like Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde who were equal to him. He expressed his feelings to his father many times and wanted to be granted the title of Taiwei. One position, ranking among the three nobles!
But his father was noncommittal at first, and then simply appointed his uncle Changsun Wuji as Taiwei. Although Changsun Wuji resolutely postponed it, Hou Junji was extremely dissatisfied, thinking that his father was suppressing him! It was from that time on that Hou Junji became closer and closer to himself.
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel shocked... (End of chapter)
