Marquis

The news that Li Xiang is coming has been sent in advance, but there is a steward standing at the door, and not even a young master has come out. According to Li Xiang's current status, even if Hou Junji comes out in person, it can be justified. of.

In normal times, Li Xiang would definitely be looking for trouble at the door, but today is a matter of life and death, and we don’t have the time to be pretentious. We have to solve this problem first, not to mention Hou Junji, an old fox who is not easy to mess with. If you can't control it, it will be a fatal thing for the entire East Palace.

"I have an old illness and cannot go out to greet you. I hope your highness will forgive me."

Hou Junji saw Li Xiang coming in from the outside with a bit of pride on his face. If I don't go out to greet you, why don't you just come in honestly?

If it were in the past, Li Xiang would definitely talk to him about this matter, but now Li Xiang no longer has such thoughts, and there is no need for us to beat around the bush. Since you sent people to kill Zaterk, then I must have known some things.

"Save time and let everyone leave."

Li Xiang found a place to sit down by himself.

"Is Your Highness also in such a hurry?"

Hou Junji was not anxious anymore. In his opinion, no one in the whole house could survive. This was a crime of deceiving the emperor. However, it was worth it for Hou Junji to be able to drag people like Li Xiang into the water. .

"Of course I have urgent matters. We are all sensible people. We should speak openly. If you are not afraid of these things being spread, then I will just speak out. But you have to be cautious about some things."

After Li Xiang finished speaking, he placed the note in front of Hou Junji. When he saw the words on it, Hou Junji's expression changed drastically.

"This traitor."

Of course Li Xiang knew that Hou Junji was scolding the princess, because Hou Junji had recognized the handwriting on it, which was that of his own daughter.

"Get out of here, and my orders are that anyone who dares to come closer than ten feet will be killed with a stick!"

After seeing the words Zhuque Street, Hou Junji already understood what was going on. If he continued to manipulate it, the whole thing might get out of control.

"You don't need to talk to her. You are so nervous for your son, and she has to be nervous for her son. Let's make a deal?"

Li Xiang leaned into Hou Junji, also afraid that there were ears through the wall.

"You killed Zaterk a hundred times, what kind of deal do you want to do with me?"

Hou Junji said cunningly. It was indeed as he said. If Zaterk had been killed, this matter might not have come out yet. But the news had already spread. If Li Xiang had killed Zaterk, Erke was killed, which means that he had something to do with this matter, so he was trying to hide it!

"Then how about I transport it to your door and you go out and kill it yourself?"

Li Xiang was unwilling to say such useless nonsense, but Hou Junji had always been such a bear, which made Li Xiang very angry.

"What do you want?"

Seeing Li Xiang's angry face, if the fight really breaks out, Hou Junji won't be able to take advantage. The reason why he sits here is because there is an illegitimate child outside, so there is no need to worry about his Hou family being wiped out. , but now that he was betrayed by his own daughter, Hou Junji could only endure his anger and talk to Li Xiang.

"You take charge of the matter yourself. Get rid of all the people who knew about this matter back then. I don't want this matter to have anything to do with the East Palace."

Li Xiang put forward his own idea, but was greeted by a burst of laughter from Hou Junji.

"You think too simply. Even if I do what you said, do you really think the emperor is a fool? Can he believe that the Eastern Palace has nothing to do with me?"

Hou Junji said disdainfully, the news must have spread from last night to now. If the guess is correct, the emperor must have learned the news immediately, but the emperor has no decree now, which is a bit intriguing. Son.

"Are you going to do it? If you do, I guarantee that your son will continue to grow up. But if you don't, then your family lineage will be gone."

No matter in which era, men attach great importance to their offspring. The reason why Hou Junji raised this illegitimate son outside his home was to prepare for this day. In fact, it is not just him, many high-ranking families put their eggs in multiple baskets. Here, I am afraid of being caught in one swoop.

"What if I want to kill the enemy?"

Hou Junji sneered and said, if it had been anyone else, Hou Junji might have agreed. After all, his entire family is now a Death Rider, and being able to keep a branch would be considered a blessing among misfortunes.

But Li Xiang and Hou Junji have always refused to deal with each other. Hou Junji wanted to break Li Xiang to pieces, let alone cooperate with him.

"Then I can only kill you first. Even if he is the emperor who blames me, with our current status, do you think the emperor will redress your grievances for you?"

Li Xiang's eyes were filled with coldness. This was also the last step. Li Xiang himself did not dare to think about what the result would be.

"You are courageous. It's ridiculous that you didn't come out of my daughter's belly. If my grandson was half as old as you, maybe it wouldn't be like this. Never give up until the last moment. You have the ability to achieve great things."

When Hou Junji said this, Li Xiang felt a little uncomfortable. After all, this was a person who had made contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and now he has died a hero.

"If this matter is handled well, the princess will leave the palace and be demoted to a commoner one day. She should take good care of her concubine. After all, your Hou family is the only one. I swear to God, I will take care of everyone I can. Take care of me and never let anything happen to them, provided they don’t cause trouble with me.”

Li Xiang knew that Hou Junji was not a reliable person, so he had to explain some things clearly to him. As long as he had concerns in his heart, the matter would be considered complete.

"You have food, drink, a house and clothes, just be an ordinary person. I have been pursuing fame and wealth for half a life, but in the end the whole family was killed. I wrote a letter to my daughter and you took it back. You have to keep Li Jue's throne. He If you ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor, if he does not rebel, you will spare his life."

Hou Junji is not stupid. If his grandson's throne is preserved, even if his daughter is just a commoner in the future, his daughter and younger son will still have someone to take care of him.

"There are three gangs of heroes. I also need someone to help me support me. I still say the same thing. As long as they don't find trouble with me, I will try my best to keep the throne."

After being beaten and coaxed, Hou Junji finally gave in. Although he could not satisfy the emperor, at least there would be no clear evidence. Next, Li Xiang had to make a bet, and make a bet in front of Li Shimin... …
