The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 230 Hou Junji's Smile
Hearing that there was a third choice, Luke said to Li Chengqian without hesitation: "I am willing to choose the third one."

After hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help laughing, and then said, "Don't you listen to the third choice first? How dare you agree directly."

"Your boy's first and second choices are both choices of not giving others a way out. What if he doesn't choose the third choice." Cheng Yaojin said with a big mouth.

"You, when will you have a long memory?" Xu Maogong said helplessly after glaring at Cheng Yaojin.

Hearing Xu Maogong's words, Cheng Yaojin hurriedly said: "Just pretend I didn't say anything, just pretend I was talking in my sleep."

Li Chengqian looked at the transaction gold and smiled, then turned around and said to Luke: "The third option is that you, like Hou Guobin, go to the Four Elephant Guards of the palace to experience some experience."

"But you have to pay back the money you owe me, but the repayment cycle can be changed to three years. And within these three years, no matter whether your father has paid off the debt, you can't leave the Four Elephant Guards .”

"And if within three years, your Fanyang Lu family has not paid off the debts owed by the palace. After three years, all the subordinate properties of your Fanyang Lu family will belong to the palace."

"Okay, then let's do it this way. I will write to my father immediately and ask him to prepare the money and return it to His Royal Highness." Luke said to Li Chengqian without hesitation.

"In that case, let's make a new document while everyone is present." Then Li Chengqian ordered Wang Fugui to prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and signed a contract with Luke again.

And let Cheng Yaojin, Hou Junji and others be the guarantors of this contract.

So far, this gamble has come to a successful conclusion.Hou Guobin and Lu Ke were dejectedly taken away by Xue Rengui.

And Qi Cheng Yaojin and others also left one after another, and finally Li Shimin, Li Chengqian and Li Tai returned to the palace together.

On the way, Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian: "Do you think that with Luke's identity, you can control Fan Yang's Lu family?"

"I'm afraid that in the end Luke will become the outcast of Fan Yang's Lu family. At that time, you will have nothing to do with fetching water from a bamboo basket."

"Father, I wish they could do this. I won't let my ministers lose their temper for no reason." Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"Brother Prince is right. If they dare to be disobedient, Brother Prince will lead someone to pacify Fan Yang Lu's family directly." Li Tai said to Li Chengqian with a smile on his face.

"Other people's affairs have been dealt with, and our brother's affairs should also be dealt with. Don't you think you are the fourth?" Li Chengqian patted Li Tai on the shoulder and said.

"Brother Prince, didn't my brother tell you clearly? Didn't my brother come into this muddy water because of Hou Guobin's bewitching? You can't throw me into the hands of the second brother Huobao again." " Li Tai said to Li Chengqian with a mournful face.

……

"What on earth is this going to do? Why are there so many people here today?" the eldest grandson queen said, looking at the crowd in front of her.

"I have to ask your precious son, today I am just a listener." Li Shimin said helplessly to Empress Changsun.

Li Chengqian and Li Tai were not the only ones in the Lizheng Hall at this time.Even Li Zhi, who was only six years old, was there.

Coupled with Li Shimin's words just now, it made Empress Changsun even more confused.So he looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Gao Ming, are you playing tricks again?"

"Empress Mother, I have gathered all my younger brothers here today. I am going to explain something in front of Emperor Father and Empress Mother." Li Chengqian said.

"Stop talking nonsense, say what you want to say quickly. Your mother will have to rest after a while." Li Shimin said after glaring at Li Chengqian.

After Li Chengqian nodded, he said: "You should all have learned Cao Zhi's seven-step poem, the truth that potatoes burn Osmunda, and beans weep in a cauldron, and you should also understand."

"Brother Huang, what I want to talk about today is about the way we get along with brothers. Since ancient times, brothers have worked together to cut gold. Only when we brothers work together can the Great Tang Dynasty last forever."

"As for Li Tai's thoughts in your heart, I am also very clear, Brother Huang. Don't talk about you, even if Lao Jiu wants to become the prince of the East Palace in the future, I have no objection to Brother Huang."

"It's just that if you want to compete for the crown prince of the East Palace, then you have to show your true abilities. Let the world see that you are more suitable to be the crown prince of the East Palace than me."

"If any of you dare to make small moves in private, even at the expense of hurting the country of Tang Dynasty and the people of Liming. If you do something that makes the father and the queen sad, don't blame the emperor, I don't think of brotherhood."

What Li Chengqian said was right and sound, but it didn't matter to Li Zhi who was only six years old.But for Li Tai, it was really shocking.

And Li Shimin on the side couldn't help but nodded, and said: "Li Tai, what you did today is not only known by your brother, but also in my heart."

"So I hope you can take this as a warning, and don't do such absurd things again. Because the five surnames and seven sects are not something you can control."

"I know this, and I will never do such absurd things again. At the same time, I want to assure you, Brother Prince, that you will never have the desire to spy on the East Palace again." Li Tai said with sincerity.

In the end, the family chatted for a long time, as to what they talked about.I'm afraid no one will know except their family.

Because the eunuchs and maids in the palace have already been kicked out.Even Li Shimin's personal eunuch Wang De stood a hundred steps away from the Lizheng Hall.

……

"My lord, there is news from the palace. The emperor called all his sons to the Lizheng Hall." The housekeeper of the Hou Mansion said to Hou Junji.

"Do you know what they said?" Hou Junji asked the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion.

"No one in the Lizheng Palace is allowed to be within a hundred steps except their family. So I don't know what they are talking about."

"It's just that when he left, Yue Wang Li Tai's face was full of coldness. His eyes were full of resentment when he looked at His Highness the Crown Prince."

"And after returning to his residence, he not only beat and scolded the court ladies and eunuchs, but also smashed the furnishings in his own room." The housekeeper of the Hou Mansion said to Hou Junji.

"Okay, it seems that because of today's incident, Li Tai was punished by the emperor. But this may not be a good thing for me." Hou Guobin said with a cold smile on his face.

"But master, are we just going to watch young master suffer under the command of the Four Elephant Guards?" the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion said to Hou Junji with a worried expression on his face.

"This may not be a bad thing for him, and it may also be an opportunity for me." Hou Junji said to the butler with a strange smile on his face.
