Chapter 572 Conspiracy
In fact, there is no need for Wu Meiniang to say that Li Ke had no intention of accepting these two beauties, because Li Ke had already made up his mind when he asked Hou Junji to ask for someone in Chen Guogong's mansion.

If Li Ke accepted these two beauties, he would have accepted Hou Junji's kindness. Maybe Hou Junji would have more speculation, and might not be willing to take the risk, but Li Ke did not accept Hou Junji's gift. Hou Junji knew Li Ke's estrangement from him, and Hou Junji didn't dare to have even the slightest illusion about Li Ke's kindness.

That night, Hou Junji re-entered the East Palace to discuss the details.

"I've thought about what the general said for a long time, and this is indeed the only way for you and me right now, but I don't know when the general wants to start trouble?" Li Chengqian asked Hou Junji.

Hou Junji said: "This matter is sooner rather than later, it will be the day after tomorrow."

Hou Junji's words caught his ears, and Li Chengqian was startled, he didn't expect Hou Junji to be so anxious, Li Chengqian said: "Is it too early, so hasty, I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

Hou Junji said: "This matter cannot be delayed any longer, it will be the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Li Chengqian was puzzled and said, "Why?"

Hou Junji said: "In a few days it will be the day of the court meeting. At that time, the crown prince's position in the East Palace will be abolished. There will be troubles at that time. Even if you and I become princes, the crown prince will no longer be a crown prince. How can we talk about succession?" .”

As long as Li Shimin has not issued a decree to depose Li Chengqian as the crown prince, he is still the crown prince and the crown prince. As long as he is the crown prince, once Li Shimin is gone, he will be the rightful successor emperor and become the third king since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. But once he is not the prince, these advantages will disappear.

What Hou Junji said is indeed reasonable, but Li Chengqian has inexplicable fear of his demon Li Ke, Li Chengqian said: "In more than ten days, the third brother will go north to patrol the border and return only in winter. Shouldn't I be more confident if I want to start trouble after my third brother leaves?"

Although Li Ke was in Beijing under Li Shimin's order, he was still serving as the governor of Bingzhou.

Li Chengqian's words made him worry, but after hearing Li Chengqian's words, Hou Junji immediately became anxious. Hou Junji said: "Ten days later, the crown prince will be abolished in ten days, and the king of Chu will be the crown prince. At that time, Li Ke will be the crown prince." Already, have you ever seen a place where the prince is out of town?"

As soon as Hou Junji's words came out, Li Chengqian fell silent. As Hou Junji said, Li Chengqian will be abolished soon, and Li Ke's voice is the loudest among the people who succeed him as the prince. Once Li Ke succeeds in ascending the throne and becomes the prince, then he Naturally, he will sit in Chang'an and no longer go out of town.

Li Chengqian said: "Since this is the case, according to what the general said, I will order Zhao Jie to summon the palace guards tomorrow and make arrangements early."

Hou Junji heard the words, thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No, what you and I are planning is important, and the crown prince's East Palace Six Rates cannot be fully trusted, and should not be used."

Li Chengqian's Six Commanders in the East Palace are full of sons of heroes who are loyal to Li Shimin and will never turn against him. Moreover, there must be someone's eyeliner among his guards. If he uses it and leaks the news, the matter will surely fail.

Li Chengqian said: "No matter where the father is, there must be no shortage of guards around him. The right guard belongs to the imperial army, so it must not be mobilized wantonly, but if only the right guard of the general is used, I am afraid it will not work."

Hou Junji said: "It's impossible to use only the right guards. I still have [-] private guards in Chenzhou. These people have been with me for many years. They are absolutely trustworthy. I have ordered them to go to Beijing, and they will arrive tonight at the latest."

Hou Junji named Chen Guogong as the Duke of Chen, and his food town was in Chenzhou. Hou Junji had many cronies in the hands of his army for many years in case of emergencies, so they were hidden in Chenzhou by Hou Junji.

Chenzhou is located in Henan, not far from Chang'an, and it only took two days to work fast. Hou Junji has already issued a transfer order, and these people should arrive tonight.

Li Chengqian listened to Hou Junji's words, cupped his hands and said: "In this way, there will be General Lao."

Hou Junji said: "This is the job of the last general. Why do you need the prince to thank you, as long as the prince doesn't want to look at the last general after the matter is done."

Li Chengqian replied: "That's natural. You and I plan things together, and we should share wealth and wealth. After the great cause is achieved and my palace ascends to the throne of God, the general will be the first foreign surnamed king in the Tang Dynasty who is also an aspect."

It is not without precedent in the Tang Dynasty to confer kings with different surnames, but they were all conferred at the beginning of the founding of the country. The great ancestor Li Yuan once conferred Luo Yi in Youzhou as the king of Yanjun, and Jianghuai Du Fuwei as the king of Wu, but these two were both military officers. He has never paid homage to the prime minister, so Li Chengqian said that Hou Junji will become the first king of a foreign surname who is also a prime minister in the Tang Dynasty, which can be regarded as a big promise.

In fact, Hou Junji did not look down on Li Chengqian. Hou Junji was ambitious, and as a son of Yanzhao, he was also a martial artist. Among the emperor's princes, the one he looked up to the most was Li Ke, who was born in the army. Ke looked down on him, but drove him to a desperate situation, and he could only conspire with Li Chengqian.

Regarding Li Chengqian's words, Hou Junji can only believe three or four points at most. Li Chengqian is a widow. If he really becomes emperor in the future, he may not have remembered his achievements. Don't you see, Wang Luoyi and Du Fu Wei, which one can die well.

However, Hou Junji is not afraid of Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian has a gentle temperament and lacks independent opinions. Even if he can't trust Hou Junji after he ascends the throne, in order to check and balance the generals in the court, as well as Li Ke's Hedong and Mobei, he He could only rely on Hou Junji. If he handled it properly, Hou Junji might not be able to control Li Chengqian, and he could have a taste of being Huo Guang himself.

But the big event has not yet been accomplished, in front of Li Chengqian, Hou Junji still looked overwhelmed, bowed down in surprise and said: "The last general thanked the crown prince for his kindness."

Li Chengqian helped Hou Junji up with a smile and said: "General, please get up quickly. In the future, I will need to rely on the general a lot."

Hou Junji replied straightly: "The crown prince just needs to take care of the last general as far as the matter of soldiers and horses is concerned, but there is still one more difficult matter right now."

Li Chengqian asked: "I don't know what it is?"

Hou Junji said: "There are heavy soldiers in the palace. If you want to force the palace, you can't attack the palace gate with an egg. But it is not easy to trick your majesty out of the palace. It is really difficult."

Back then Li Shimin held the military power and had a very high prestige in the army. Even so, Li Shimin dared not attack the palace lightly when he forced the palace. Force the palace.

Li Chengqian's martial arts are far inferior to Li Shimin's back then, no matter how popular he is. Naturally, he can't follow Li Shimin's path, and the current guard of the Xuanwu Gate is Li Junxian, the county magistrate of Wulian County and the general of the Zuojian gate guard.

Li Junxian used to be Qin Shubao's former subordinate. He joined Qin Shubao in the past and joined the Tang Dynasty. He fought with Li Shimin for many years and was loyal.

But Li Chengqian said: "Of course we can't force the palace, the palace has other methods for this matter, the general can rest assured."
