Li Junxian is a few years older than His Majesty Li Er, and he is already fifty-six this year, but because Li Jing is already in front, it is difficult for Li Yuanying to call him "Old Li", so after thinking about it for a while, he relied on his seniority again Call people "Junxian".
Calling all the way back to Tengzhou, Li Yuanying felt that he was already very familiar with Li Junxian, and while leading Li Junxian into the palace, he shouted affectionately: "Junxian, you treat the palace as your own home. Compared with Chang'an, Tengzhou is a small place. It’s too late, I don’t know that Brother Huang will keep you here, don’t worry about the fact that there are fewer people to care about, and the place where you live may not be as comfortable as Chang’an.”
Li Junxian said: "Someone who works in the army doesn't care about these things."
Li Junxian was a talkative person at first glance, Li Yuanying tentatively chatted with him for a long time, but Li Junxian was not at all impatient. Originally, Li Yuanying was worried that Li Junxian would not be able to suppress the group of soldiers under him who looked bad, but in fact, all of them had almost seen blood. As a result, Li Junxian seemed to have changed as soon as he got on the horse. He didn't show fatigue after ten rounds, and his bravery was unbelievable. It's hard to imagine that he is almost sixty years old!
Li Yuanying's eyes were bright, looking at Li Junxian as if he was looking at a big baby that fell from the sky, and that night he took Li Junxian to hold a banquet in the army to have fun with all the soldiers.
Li Junxian also has a little understanding of Li Yuanying's style of spending money without blinking an eye. Obviously there is wine, but he still wants to drink good wine for all the soldiers; obviously there is food, and he still wants to serve good food for all the soldiers. According to his method of raising war, the imperial court is afraid that the treasury will be emptied after a year of raising it!
The logistics was not under Li Junxian's control, and Li Junxian didn't raise any opinions, but decided to help Li Yuanying train these soldiers well. You have enjoyed the good wine and good food, so naturally you have to come up with some strength that can match all these!
Seeing that Li Junxian quickly entered the state, Li Yuanying saw that he was a maniac in military training. He mourned for his guards in his heart for a moment, and then ran away, lest Li Junxian despise his small arms and legs and drag him to practice together.
After Li Junxian is settled, everything in Tengzhou will be back on track.
This night was very peaceful for Tengzhou, but not so peaceful for Chang'an. His Majesty Li Er has not yet returned to the capital, and Chang'an was left behind by Prince Li Chengqian. That night Chen Guogong Hou Junji went to the East Palace to ask for an excuse to see the Prince. Let people hold a banquet in honor of Hou Junji.
Since Zhang Liang, Duke of Yun, was slaughtered, Hou Junji couldn't sleep peacefully every day. First, he managed to send his two sons to work in other places, so that he could do things cheaply. The imperial city without His Majesty Li Er didn't seem to have any daunting majesty. Ever since Yu Jia set off, Hou Junji had been secretly planning to control the East Palace and occupy the imperial city first, and then surround Yu Jia to kill His Majesty Li Er.
The crown prince is already a lame man, so he can handle it very well!
His Majesty Li Er is old, and the world will listen to him in the future!
If the prince is disobedient, isn't there still a baby grandson in the East Palace
Hou Junji's eyes were full of madness.
After looking for an opportunity to enter the East Palace, although Hou Junji didn't wear a sword, he easily restrained Li Chengqian, who was not very skilled in martial arts, and put him, the princess and others under house arrest in the palace.
Li Chengqian didn't expect Hou Junji to be so daring, and he realized that even the guards of the East Palace who were on duty that day were controlled by Hou Junji before he realized that this matter could not be resolved. But Hou Junji struck quickly and ruthlessly, and when he realized that there was nothing he could do, he could only comfort the crown princess and comfort the young son, so as not to panic them too much.
Overnight, the sky in Chang'an city changed silently. Hou Junji took Li Chengqian's seal and replaced the imperial guards in the imperial city with his own people.
Everything went so smoothly that it was unbelievable that Hou Junji's staff hesitated, thinking that there might be fraud, but Hou Junji was very happy. For so many years, he endured being left out in the cold as he watched others become more prosperous and promoted step by step. He couldn't do anything by himself.
Now, everything is different immediately. Even if it is not his turn to sit in that position for the time being, he will let His Majesty Li Er experience the pain of losing his power! Thinking back then, he was also loyal to charge for His Majesty Li Er, what did he get in the end? What's the use of sending his portrait to Lingyan Pavilion, it's not taking away everything he owns! If a person who relies on military exploits has been deprived of all his generals, what is the difference between not letting him go out to fight in all directions and making contributions, and killing him
He is not the kind of person who swallows his anger like Li Jing and Li Daozong!
Hou Junji dismissed everyone and locked himself in the main hall where the court meeting was hosted. The hall was brightly lit, and the imperial seat was illuminated by candlelight, as if it was glowing. The dragon pattern of Panqiu is engraved on it, which is both mighty and majestic, and there is nothing wrong with it. He walked towards the throne step by step, feeling the blood in his whole body boil. In the whole world, who doesn't love power, who doesn't love beauties, and who doesn't love fame, fortune, glory and wealth.
Why should all of this be exclusive to the one surnamed Li
Like the prince Li Chengqian, he couldn't last two rounds under his hands, and was trampled into a lame by two horses. Why was he born to be a prince, and why should he inherit such a huge country? Hou Junji walked up to the throne step by step, stretched out his hand to caress the majestic dragon-patterned armrest, and stroked it gently for a long time, he finally couldn't help sitting on the throne, and all the unwillingness and resentment over the years turned into joy.
Hou Junji laughed out loud.
No wonder His Majesty Li Er killed his brother and forced his father away to take this position. Who would not want to sit in such a good position? Who doesn't want to be condescending and sit in the world of Tang Dynasty.
Both the crown prince and the emperor's grandson are in his hands. As long as His Majesty Li Er dies, the world will be his!
In the early morning of the second day, someone soon discovered that something was wrong with the imperial city. Those officials who wanted to enter the East Palace to complain to Li Chengqian were blocked outside. The palace only sent out the news that the prince was ill, and no one was seen.
All right, how could the prince be sick
And I always feel that the guards guarding the imperial city are a bit weird.
Compared with the keenness of the people in the city, Li Jing's residence is far away from the hustle and bustle, and it looks much more peaceful. If he gave up participating in the struggle for power in the DPRK, he would be able to spend his old age in peace.
Waking up early in the morning, Li Jing went to feed the birds, and soon found an unremarkable little white bird on the bird stand.
It was given to Li Yuanying by Li Jing, and Li Yuanying seemed to be giving it to the emperor's grandson. This bird has a nice voice and can send letters, so it is one of the few species that has both ornamental and practical value.
Li Jing's heart skipped a beat, he touched the bird's foot, and sure enough he found a small bamboo tube. Opening the bamboo tube, Li Jing poured out a piece of paper inside, on which was written a line of small characters: There was a change in the East Palace, Hou Jun rebelled, and quickly reported to his father.
There is Li Chengqian's private seal on it, and the handwriting is also from Li Chengqian's hand.
Li Jing was startled.
In order to support the exotic animals in his family, his mansion is far away from the imperial city, so it is difficult to go into the city to investigate after getting such news.
If Hou Junji controls the East Palace, he will definitely attack Yu Jia. If Hou Junji uses the name of the East Palace to mobilize people to surround and kill His Majesty Li Er, the consequences will be disastrous!
Li Jing no longer hesitated, ordered people to strictly guard the gate of the mansion, and rode a fast horse himself and galloped out along the path.
At this time, His Majesty Li Er was still on the way and didn't know what happened in Chang'an, but he was inexplicably restless and always felt that something was about to happen.
Maybe it's because the wish of enshrining Mount Tai in Zen has been fulfilled. His Majesty Li Er is in a very happy mood these days, stopping and stopping along the way, chatting with Fang Xuanling and the others about the people's livelihood and the people's conditions in various places. After walking for another two days, one person and one rider suddenly emerged from the dense forest along the way, and everyone seemed to be facing an enemy. I didn't want to take a closer look, but that person was Li Jing, Duke of Wei.
Li Jing was old and frail, and his body couldn't hold on this day and night, but he still managed to present the secret letter that the prince managed to send to His Majesty Li Er. The East Palace is in the hands of Hou Junji, and the imperial city is also under the control of Hou Junji. Hou Junji's next step is probably to attack Yujia!
His Majesty Li Er got the secret letter, his face was covered with dark clouds.
Recently, he was living too comfortably, and after disposing of Zhang Liang, Hou Junji was very peaceful, so he relaxed his attention to Hou Junji. Unexpectedly, this time Hou Junji stayed in Chang'an and was able to restrain the crown prince!
Li Jing hurriedly came to report the news, His Majesty Li Er was moved and hurriedly called the accompanying imperial physician to give Li Jing a diagnosis and treatment, and Li Jing could not be allowed to collapse due to this rush.
Since he knew about the changes in Chang'an in advance, His Majesty Li Er has his own way to deal with it. What's more, Zhang Liang had reported Hou Junji's rebellion. He couldn't have been unprepared, but he never wanted to go to that step.
On this day, His Majesty Li Er dispatched troops and generals, and met group after group of people.
His Majesty Li Er arranged everything, but his mood did not improve.
His Majesty Li Er was somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that the crown prince was easily controlled by Hou Junji. At Li Chengqian's age, he was already able to take charge of his own affairs and conquer cities and territories for the Great Tang. In contrast, the prince Li Chengqian's performance is really not good.
These things have to wait until the difficulties in the East Palace are resolved.
His Majesty Li Er's face was dark and uncertain.
…
Since Hou Junji controlled the East Palace, he discussed with his staff every day how to surround and kill His Majesty Li Er. The longer this kind of thing is delayed, the more likely it will change. He must set up a killing situation before someone discovers the clue and informs His Majesty Li Er.
Li Chengqian was trapped in the East Palace every day, feeling uneasy, worried about His Majesty Li Er's comfort, but also worried about the suffering of the Crown Princess and the youngest son, his heart was extremely tormented.
As Yujia approached the Lishan area, Hou Junji, who had pretended to be a worried prince in front of the courtiers for the past two days, quietly left the city before dawn, and led his cronies to mobilize troops and horses to lay an ambush on the road that Yujia must pass.
This morning, the forest was densely foggy, and Hou Junji inexplicably recalled the early morning when the Xuanwumen Incident happened. At that time, they gave up their lives to help His Majesty Li Er rush out and killed Prince Yin Li Jiancheng and King Qi Li Yuanji.
Their hands were once stained with the blood of the Li family for His Majesty Li Er.
It was His Majesty Li Er who failed them.
Hou Junji clenched the knife in his hand.
Since the Li family has already been killed, it doesn't matter if they kill them again!
In the early morning light, a group of chariots and horses approached from a distance. From the flags and regulations, it could be seen that it was the imperial chariot returning to Beijing. Hou Junji felt that the blood in his body was churning, not only did he not feel nervous, but also extremely excited. It's only one step away, kill His Majesty Li Er, kill these annoying veterans, the world will be his!
After confirming that Yu Jia had entered the siege, Hou Junji raised his knife to the cronies who were ambushing around and signaled—
kill!
