Datang: Picking up a little Si Zi and accidentally admitting his kinship with blood?

Chapter 174 The prototype of seizing the direct descendant!This is talent!
Prince's Mansion.

The room was ornately decorated, and a figure was sitting at the desk, looking elegant.

At this moment, after hearing the movement at the door, he raised his head, revealed a young face, and said with a smile: "Is Duke Lu back?"

Hou Junji suppressed the previous unhappiness in his heart and bowed seriously: "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Master Lu, please excuse me and please take a seat."

Li Chengqian hurried forward, supported Hou Junji, and said with a smile: "Master Hou has taken care of me in every possible way. There is no need to be so polite in the future. Sit down quickly!"

Then, seeing the displeasure on Hou Junji's eyebrows, Li Chengqian suddenly thought of something and said, "Master Hou, is he worried about the residence?"

The Dali Temple was on fire and the Duke of Lu's mansion was implicated. Of course Li Chengqian knew about it.

Including the old house where Hou Junji and his family now live, it was actually Li Chengqian's own, and he gave it away through Li Er's mouth.

When Hou Junji heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and then he became filled with sadness.

After a long while, he let out a long sigh and said: "I am far away in Liangzhou. I never thought that such a big thing happened in Chang'an. It was all caused by those hateful Tubo thieves, who were so brave!"

"I just regret that I don't have enough soldiers and horses in my hands, otherwise I will definitely crush the Tubo to avenge this!"

Seeing the ferocious expression on Hou Junji's face, Li Chengqian sighed: "The Duke of Lu wholeheartedly thinks about the Tang Dynasty. He is really respectable."

"It's just that the war in the north is urgent now. Turk Jieli Khan has gathered 50 elite troops at the Yunzhou border with evil intentions. I'm afraid there are no extra troops to use for the time being."

Once the war with Tubo begins, Datang will be attacked from both sides.

Judging from the current situation, Datang simply cannot withstand such a huge consumption.

Once there is a decline, not only Tubo and Turks, but also small forces such as Tuyuhun Xiliang Kingdom and Nanzhao will definitely take advantage of the chaos.

"I know."

"Hey, I came to see the prince today and I have one more thing to ask for."

"Hou Mu, the dog son, was arrested and taken to Dali Temple. He was accused of molesting civilian girls. I failed to discipline him properly. Please ask the prince to speak kindly in front of your majesty. Can you please let him out?"

Everything else is just for the occasion, and this is the real purpose of Hou Junji coming late at night.

Dali Temple, who doesn’t know that it is not a place for people to stay?

This has been delayed for several days. Will there be any accidents if it continues?
Hearing this, Li Chengqian smiled slightly.

He turned to look to the side and said calmly: "Hou Mu, you can come out now."

In the blink of an eye, a figure walked out from the side. It was Hou Mu who was captured in Taibai Mountain a few days ago.

At this moment, when he saw Hou Junji, Hou Mu suddenly felt ashamed and came to Hou Junji: "Dad, I..."

"Damn things!"

Hou Junji was stunned for a moment, then cursed and bowed quickly: "Old minister, thank you for your kindness!"

"What the hell does this happen?"

Hou Mu is not in Dali Temple. Although Dali Temple is gone, there is still a place for detention. Why is it in the Prince's Mansion?

Li Chengqian glanced at Hou Mu and said, "Hou Mu, you go back first. I have something to talk about with Duke Lu."

Hou Mu nodded, bowed to Li Chengqian, and retreated.

After Hou Mu left, facing Hou Junji's doubtful eyes, Li Chengqian's face straightened: "Master Hou, to be honest with you, this matter is all caused by one person, and his name is Li Fei!"

"Master Hou must also know this person, right?"

Li Fei?Hou Junji was suddenly startled and nodded: "This person was wanted by His Majesty for murdering Tibetan envoys and court officials. I naturally remember it."

"But just after I returned to Chang'an today, I heard that Your Majesty had pardoned this person's sins. It was said that this person had done meritorious service and caught the Tibetan thieves who set fire to Dali Temple this time..."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian's face showed a hint of coldness.

"Yes, that's probably what happened."

"But since the past few days, the emperor and his mother have left the palace frequently, and even took Duke Zhao to a place called Xiao Qin Village."

"Previously, my father ordered the roads to be repaired in Xiaoqin Village. Later, he went there many times. Not long ago, he even sent [-] soldiers to train in the mountains behind Xiaoqin Village!"

"Master Hou, what do you think your father means by doing this?"

Watching Li Chengqian talking, he suddenly asked such a big question, and Hou Junji was also stunned by the question.

"I dare not speculate on His Majesty's intentions. The Crown Prince might as well make it clear."

Hou Junji said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian also knew that he was a little presumptuous, and said quickly: "I am not testing Mr. Hou's intention, but I really want to tell Mr. Hou this matter."

"This Li Fei was originally a commoner. Why did he suddenly attract the attention of the emperor and even kill the Tibetan envoys without incident?"

"I have secretly sent people to investigate in Xiaoqin Village. This Li Fei is simply a strange man with countless methods, whether it is medical skills, strategy, or farming skills!"

"With such a talent, my father must be interested in recruiting this person!"

Li Chengqian's eyes sparkled and he told Hou Junji the news he had received.

"Such a strange person?"

Hou Junji was also taken aback for a moment.

He only knew that Li Fei was a wanted criminal, and then he didn't know anything else.

Now I heard the prince suddenly say, no wonder the original wanted order was so tricky. It turned out that His Majesty already had a plan?
"I see, what does the prince mean?"

Hou Junji figured it out, but still didn't know the meaning of Li Chengqian's words.

"Currently, my father has not succeeded in recruiting him."

"But I'm not the only one who knows about this matter. My fourth brother also sent people. He should have the same thoughts as me now."

"Whoever can recruit this person will have a more solid position in front of my father in the future. Master Hou should know what I mean, right?"

Li Chengqian's eyes showed a hint of ambition as he looked at Hou Junji and said.

Hearing this, Hou Junji suddenly fell silent.

I didn’t expect that we would start to divide up the teams so soon?
Even though the person in front of him is the prince, his position is not extremely stable. There is another King of Wei, Li Tai, who is also favored.

At least for now, it's impossible to tell which position it will be in the future.

After a long time, Hou Junji sighed and said, "I understand, but I wonder what the prince's instructions are?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Master Hou, don't be impatient. This kind of thing cannot be rushed, including the war with Tubo. Don't be impulsive."

"I invite Mr. Hou to come and talk to me today. Since Hou Mu is fine, I would like to ask Mr. Hou not to embarrass this Li Fei and just give me, Li Chengqian, a piece of cake. How about that?"

After a long time, Hou Junji nodded: "It's all trivial matters, the prince makes the decision."

Even Li Fei didn't know that the reason why the petty Hou Junji no longer troubled him was because of Li Chengqian's help.
