Chapter 570
If it was not Hou Junji who committed the crime, but someone like Li Ji, then Li Ji would definitely understand Li Ke's beating, took Li Ke's visit as a warning, and took the initiative to confess to Li Shimin.

But Hou Junji is not Li Ji, nor does he have a city like Li Ji. He has an impulsive temperament and is somewhat reckless, but as the saying goes, he is extremely rigid and easy to break. Facing the same choice, Hou Junji took the completely opposite path.

Hou Junji regarded Li Ke's visit as a threat, a warning of impending catastrophe, and his choice was to strike first.

It is night, at the end of midnight, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

The curfew in Chang'an City has been lifted, and the bustling streets during the day are already deserted, but there is such a figure that quietly came out of the Duke Chen's mansion, and then escaped into the palace through the side door of the East Palace.

An ordinary person would naturally not be able to do this, but Hou Junji, the dignified general of the right guard, the soldiers in charge of the curfew could not control him, and with the echo of the people in the East Palace, Hou Junji entered the East Palace smoothly.

In the inner hall of the East Palace, Li Chengqian was pacing back and forth in the hall, and there were probably nearly a hundred back and forth when he left, which clearly showed his inner uneasiness.

When Li Chengqian heard the news of Hou Junji's upcoming visit from Helan Chushi, he began to feel a little uneasy. During the waiting process, Li Chengqian's uneasy heart became more and more serious. By this time, Li Chengqian's uneasy heart had already At the extreme, it even turned into panic.

Although Li Chengqian is trapped in the mansion, he is not blind or deaf. Li Chengqian is also very clear about Hou Junji's recent situation. He is not a decisive person, how can he not worry about this matter.

"Prince, the general has arrived." Li Chengqian was still in the hall feeling uneasy, when Helan Chushi suddenly entered the hall and said to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian nodded, and said a little embarrassedly: "Please come in, General."

"No." Helan Chushi responded, and went out to lead the others.

A while later, Hou Junji followed Helan Chushi into the room, and he went up to Li Chengqian and said: "The last general Hou Junji pays homage to the crown prince."

At such a sensitive juncture, Hou Junji paid a sudden visit, and Li Chengqian was a little worried about his intention to come, even a little afraid, but the matter had come to this point, since there was a helping hand sent to his door, he had no choice but to use it.

Li Chengqian personally stepped forward, helped Hou Junji up, and said: "General please get up quickly, please get up quickly."

After Hou Jun got up, he said to Li Chengqian: "The last general is bothering you late at night, please don't blame your Highness."

Li Chengqian sighed and said: "At this time, the general is still willing to see that this palace is because I look up to this palace. Why is it so strange, but I don't know why the general is here?"

Ever since Li Chengqian killed people in the street and was restricted from leaving the palace, the prime ministers who used to walk in the East Palace had disappeared. Hou Junji was considered the highest rank among all the people who came to see him.

Hou Junji's plan was so serious that he didn't dare to have a heart-to-heart talk with Li Chengqian, first he asked tentatively: "I haven't seen you for three days, the prince seems to have worn down a lot."

Li Chengqian smiled wryly, and said: "The general is joking, only a generous heart can make you fat. This palace is condemned by thousands of people, and I am already a prisoner under the ranks. I don't know how many days are left in this east palace. How can I not?" Haggard."

Hou Junji complained: "Although it is inappropriate for the prince to kill people in the street, it is because Quan Wanji has no superiors before him, and the general always thought that a little punishment for the prince's fault was enough, but His Majesty listened to what the courtiers said and wanted to It is too harsh to depose the Crown Prince from the East Palace position."

Hou Junji was Li Shimin's confidant and favorite general, if these words were left in the past, Hou Junji would never have said it, but now Hou Junji knew that the crisis was at stake, so he opened his mouth and said something disrespectful to Li Shimin.

In fact, Li Chengqian is also like this. In the past, he would not discuss Li Shimin's faults with his courtiers in private, but now Li Chengqian is also full of complaints about Li Shimin. Seriously, this is not a day or two."

Hou Junji listened to Li Chengqian's words, and continued: "What the crown prince said is very true, His Majesty is indeed too partial to the King of Chu. I heard someone mention it by accident, and I am afraid that after the crown prince is deposed, the one who will be in charge of the East Palace should be The King of Chu is gone. I’m afraid that with regard to Quan Wanji’s matter, the whole court is making such a big fight, maybe it’s paving the way for the King of Chu to succeed him.”

What Hou Junji said was like a sharp knife that pierced into Li Chengqian's heart.

Li Ke has always been Li Chengqian's nightmare. When he was young, people often mentioned Li Ke in his ear every day, telling him that he had another younger brother who was suffering in Mobei for the sake of all the people in the world. Do what a real prince should do.

When he grew up a little bit, Li Ke also returned to the country, and people kept telling him that he had a younger brother who was both civil and military, and was loved by the people. Compared with Li Ke, he was far behind as an elder brother.

After Li Chengqian became an adult, Li Ke was released, and someone told him that his younger brother was running the army and herdsmen in the local area, and Fuze was on the side, but he could only face the books and the group of old scholars in the East Palace, and was criticized as a mediocre man. Inaction.

The same is hunting, Li Ke is both civil and military, but he is stubborn; the same is visiting brothels, Li Ke is a young man, but he is obsessed with women, and has the appearance of Shang Zhou; He doesn't care about money, he spends extravagantly, but he is the moth of the country, wasting people's fat in vain.

It seems that what Li Ke does is right and will be praised by all officials, but what he does is wrong and will be criticized by thousands of people!All of this has always been like this, including Li Shimin, and it has never changed.

As Li Chengqian thought about it, he felt more and more that Li Shimin was deliberately embarrassing him in order to make Li Ke succeed him. The resentment in Li Chengqian's heart became more and more serious. Step on it."

Looking at Li Chengqian's appearance, Hou Junji knew that the matter had come to an end, so he said: "Since ancient times, when there was a battle for the throne, when has there ever been a loser who survived? The former Sui Yong prince lost his position and died at the hands of Emperor Yang. , Li Ke is the grandson of Emperor Yangdi, they have average temperaments, if he ascends the throne in the future, he will never let the crown prince go. The day the crown prince loses his position will be the day when he dies."

Li Chengqian's face was gloomy, and after being bewitched several times by Hou Junji, the anxiety in his heart seemed to have disappeared. Li Chengqian asked Hou Junji, "Can the general teach me?"

Hou Junji replied: "Your Majesty wants to abolish the Crown Prince's position in the East Palace, why did the Crown Prince move to the west in such a rush?"

The Taiji Palace where the emperor resides is in the north of the central axis of Chang'an City, the Yeting Palace is in the west of the Taiji Palace, and the East Palace is in the east of the Taiji Palace. Li Chengqian is now in the East Palace. Hou Junji said that Li Chengqian should move to the west, so naturally he must move. Went to Tai Chi Palace.

Li Chengqian asked in a deep voice: "The general is willing to help me?"

Hou Junji said: "The last general has already condemned and killed the king of Chu. If the king of Chu gains power in the future, the last general will die like the prince without a place to bury him. The last general is willing to die for the prince."
