Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 156

The conversation between Li Chengqian and Xue Wanche not only decided the future of Princess Danyang, but also decided the life and death of Hou Junji.

The two chatted very happily, Li Chengqian ordered someone to prepare a banquet, entertained Xue Wanche graciously, and accepted Xue Wanche as a member of the East Palace.

From then on, Li Chengqian had another famous general under his command.

Li Chengqian and Xue Wanche exchanged cups and ate and drank until night, both of them were very drunk.

In the end, Wang Quan asked Xue Wanche to be sent back to his own mansion, while Wang Quan helped Li Chengqian go back to bed.

When he woke up the next day, it was already under the sun. Li Chengqian woke up with a splitting headache and dry mouth. This was the aftereffect of a night of hangover.

After a day of rest, the symptoms will basically disappear.

The maids filed in and helped Li Chengqian to tidy up for a while. After getting dressed, Wang Quan stepped forward to report to Li Chengqian the situation in the court today and the news from Jinyiwei.

Now that Li Chengqian has subdued Xue Wanche, Hou Junji is no longer a concern, as for the other person that Hou Junji has wooed.

Li Chengqian took it too seriously, he believed that Li Anyan would know how to examine Duodu and know which side he should stand on to be more beneficial to himself.

Li Chengqian believed that Li Anyan would come to the East Palace to apologize in person, instead of playing with Hou Junji.

Especially when Li Anyan knew that Xue Wanche had been wooed by the prince, she couldn't bear it anymore.

Li Anyan, like Xue Wanche, was once an official of the hidden prince Li Jiancheng, and they were all loyal to the prince.

It was precisely because of Li Anyan's loyalty that Li Er arranged for him to be in charge of the guard, and named Zuo Tunwei Zhonglang General.

Because of his close relationship with Li Chengqian and his contribution to the Li Tai incident, he was promoted to General Zuo Tunwei.

Compared with Xue Wanche, who was depressed because of Li Tai, Li Anyan was proud of himself, so he had a closer relationship with Prince Li Chengqian.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Chengqian is not worried that Li Anyan will betray him and get together with Hou Junji.

"Lang Jun! General Li Anyan of Zuo Tunwei, please meet outside the hall!"

Li Chengqian had just eaten his meal, and a servant came to report it.

Li Chengqian took the handkerchief handed over by the maid, wiped his mouth, and asked the waiter to clean up the dishes, "Let him in."

"No!" The servant bowed and stepped back, and after a while, Li Anyan walked in from the outside.

"Chen Zuo Tunwei General Li Anyan is meeting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Li Anyan hurriedly saluted Li Chengqian when he saw Li Chengqian.

"No need to be too polite! Give me a seat!" Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Li Anyan thanked him for taking a seat!

"Qing came to my East Palace, but what's the important thing?" Li Chengqian asked after Li Anyan finished.

"Your Highness! I came here this time to report on a person who intends to plot rebellion while Your Highness is in charge of the country." Li Anyan said.

This time he came to report Hou Junji's conspiracy.

Li Chengqian pretended to be surprised!Leaning forward slightly, he said with surprise on his face: "Aiqing, what are you talking about? You must not talk nonsense. Who dares to plot rebellion?"

Li Anyan said: "Your Highness! Everything I said is true, and there is absolutely no falsehood. The person who intends to rebel is Chen Guogong Hou Junji."

"What you said is really shocking. If you think about it, Chen Guogong is one of the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion in the Tang Dynasty. How could he do such a conspiracy? Could it be that you are slandering Chen Guogong?" Li Chengqian said.

Li Chengqian acted like I don't believe what you said, which made Li Anyan very anxious, but fortunately he came prepared this time.

"Your Highness! I have evidence here to prove the fact that Chen Guogong Hou Junji rebelled." Li Anyan said hastily.

Afraid that Li Chengqian would not believe what he said, he took out the evidence he had prepared and said, "This is the evidence that Hou Junji intends to rebel, please have a look at it, Your Highness."

Wang Quan hurried forward, took the incriminating evidence about Hou Junji from Li Anyan, returned to Li Chengqian, and handed it over to Li Chengqian for review.

Li Chengqian's eyes fell on the evidence in his hand, and he quickly finished reading it!

It clearly stated how Hou Junji asked Li Anyan to plan a rebellion with him.

The person, place, time, and what was said after the meeting were all recorded on this one by one.

Even how many people participated in this time, it is written in detail here.

Li Chengqian put down the "criminal evidence" in his hand, sighed, with a dejected look on his face.

"Chen Guogong is a hero of the Tang Dynasty and a pillar of the country. It is really regrettable why he has come to this point." Li Chengqian said.

"All of this is Hou Junji's own fault, no wonder other people are so careless."

"In the past, when Li Jing, the Duke of Wei, was alive, he once told people that Hou Junji did not care about others and would definitely rebel."

"Duke Wei really has the foresight. He has already expected that Hou Jun will rebel against us today." Li Anyan said.

Li Chengqian knew a thing or two about this allusion.

In other words, once His Majesty Li Er asked Hou Junji to learn the art of war from Li Jing, Li Jing did not teach all the art of war, but reserved it.

So Hou Junji ran to His Majesty Li Er and made a small report on Li Jing, saying that Li Jing refused to teach him all his military arts and had the intention of treason.

When Li Er heard this, he was unhappy at the time!Immediately ask someone to call Li Jing here, which is a scolding reprimand.

Li Er said: "What's the matter with you, why don't you hand over your housekeeping skills to Hou Junji, and still hide it, it's really petty."

Li Jing said neither humble nor overbearing: "It is Hou Junji himself who wants to rebel, not the minister who wants to rebel."

"Now that the Central Plains are stable, the art of war I taught him is enough to control the barbarians. Now he wants to learn the art of war of the best officials, but he will have a different heart."

At this time, Hou Junji was still a good boy, so Li Er naturally wouldn't believe Li Jing's rhetoric.

I feel more and more that Li Jing is a petty old man.

Another time, when the next court returned to Shangshu Province, Li Jing saw Hou Junji riding a horse across the provincial gate for several steps without noticing it.

Seeing this situation, Li Jing said to others at that time, "Hou Junji doesn't care about others, and he will definitely rebel."

Facts have proved that Hou Junji and Li Chengqian rebelled together later, but were reported in advance, which made the rebellion plan go in vain.

"That's right! It's just that the royal father didn't believe in Wei Guogong's words at that time, so there is the trouble of Hou Junji today."

"In the 17th year of Zhenguan, when Zhang Liang was sent to Luoyang as the governor, Hou Junji also visited and persuaded Zhang Liang to conspire together."

"Later, Zhang Liang informed the father at this time, and the father did not take any action because he had no evidence and no evidence, and the words of the family alone were not enough to be trusted." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Majesty did not take precautions against Hou Junji because of Chen Guogong's great contributions to the Tang Dynasty in the past and the love between the monarch and his ministers." Li Anyan said.

Because of this, Hou Junji later became more and more daring, so much so that he embarked on the road of rebellion.
