Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

I also hope that you can learn from your mistakes and stop making mistakes again and again!

Faced with Li Shimin's reprimand, Hou Junji naturally bowed his head and accepted the mistake.

But in his heart, because of Li Shimin beating him, he felt more and more wronged and unconvinced.

He is the hero of this Tang Dynasty.

Now it's okay to suffer great grievances.

I didn't expect to see myself in the same way when the emperor is here!

I have made so many great achievements over the years, could it be that dogs have eaten them all? !

So, after returning to the mansion for several days in a row.

Hou Junji hardly spoke, and was in this deformed mood all the time.

Even at night, I tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Seeing him like this, his wife also asked with concern.

Say, master, you are an important minister in the court and a great general with great merit.

Now that all the battles have been fought, it is almost the time of the New Year's Eve.

What happened to make you so sad?

Listening to his wife's words, Hou Junji was the same as before.

He glared at him, and said something about women, what do you know? !

The next day, Hou Junji went to the East Palace early to meet him.

Li Chengqian couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard that the right guard general Hou Junji asked for an audience.

Hastily asked someone to invite you.

And he himself greeted him at the gate of the hall in person, making a full gesture.

Seeing him like this, Hou Junji, who has been looked down upon by others these days, really felt a lot better.

So he bowed and said: "Junji is a minister who wears a crime."

"How can you be so honored by Your Highness?"

Li Chengqian smiled at this moment and invited him into his study.

"Chen Guogong, why did you say such a thing?"

"In the past few decades, everyone has seen the military achievements you have made against the Great Tang."

"As for some gossip, Chen Guogong, you don't need to care about it."

"no one is perfect."

"Let them say whatever they like."

"At least in my heart, Chen Guogong, you will always be the pillar of my Tang army."

"He is also someone who must be used by the imperial court."

Hearing this, Hou Junji bowed seriously again.

"Before, when I was imprisoned, it was Your Highness who helped me."

"Now, His Highness is treating Junji so courteously again."

"Junji is extremely grateful, and is willing to do his best for His Highness."

"I am a straightforward person."

"If you have grace, you must repay it."

"If His Highness has any orders, it's okay to say."

"As long as Junji can do what he can, he will never refuse."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian nodded with a smile.

"This king really likes Chen Guogong's personality."

"As for the enmity between you and Li Qiu, this king has all heard of it."

"Similarly, you must have heard about the dispute between this king and him, Li Qiu, and Furongyuan, Chen Guogong."

"As the crown prince, the prince, I really don't have any orders."

"But if there is, then it may only need your help to deal with that Li Qiu."

Hearing this, Hou Junji couldn't help frowning.

Then he snorted coldly.

"Your Highness, the brother-in-law who personally killed the minister of Beiping Wang Li Qiu."

"There will still be too much enmity involved in the future."

"He is a man, I can't wait to have his skin and bones removed."

"So, Your Highness, you should change your order."

"Because even if His Royal Highness is not present, I will not share the sky with this Li Qiu!"

Li Chengqian was very satisfied with Hou Junji's strong hatred towards Li Qiu at this time.

Then, he paused.

Then subconsciously glanced around, lowered his voice, and said slowly: "This king is very clear about the enmity between Chen Guogong and Li Qiu."

"It's just that if you really want to seek revenge on Li Qiu."

"With your own strength alone, you may never have a chance in this life."

"Even easily put yourself in."

"If you want to get rid of Li Qiu, Chen Guogong, you have only one choice."

"That is to assist this king with all my strength, and then use all the power of this king and the East Palace."

"Remove it completely!"

At this moment, Hou Junji's brows were furrowed, and he even felt a little unbelievable about what Li Chengqian said.

"Your Highness."

"You are the crown prince, the future prince of my Tang Dynasty."

"You shouldn't be so afraid of Li Qiu, a mere merchant, right?"

"You are the king, and he is the minister. Does he still dare to rebel?"

"If there is such a day, I and my Flying Tiger Army will be the first to stand up and charge forward for His Highness and Datang."

"Sweep the Furong Garden, and even Youzhou!"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian chuckled twice.

"Hehe, Chen Guogong, have you been feuding with that Li Qiu for so many years?"

"Still think that Li Qiu is just an ordinary courtier who is just like you, but younger and has made more contributions?"

"Is it really just a humble merchant unearthed in Chang'an Chengdong City?"

"Don't you think, at the beginning, you thought that such a small person, the father could turn Li Ke, the king of Shu, into a county king, and release Chang'an?"

"Also, before Li Qiu's real meritorious service, my queen's mother and uncle often went to Li Qiu's small restaurant."

"Even because of this, he blamed the hero of Tang Dynasty, Cheng Yaojin?"

Chapter 991 Xuanwu Gate 2.0

Listening to Li Chengqian's words, Hou Junji's eyes showed seriousness.

His brows were also tightly wrinkled.

At this moment, he had faintly sensed something.

But the truth here is really shocking.

Some challenged his cognition, and even made him dare not think about it.

At this time, Li Chengqian went on to say: "Chen Guogong, think again."

"In this Great Tang, there are so many people who have made contributions."

"Like Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, you, Chai Shao, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, etc."

"Among these people, in terms of contributions and affection over the years, there are at least a few who are above Li Qiu?"

"But take a closer look, among these people, who can compare with Li Qiu and receive such favor from the father?"

"For Li Qiu, the emperor gave him all the fiefdoms in the thirteen prefectures of Youzhou, the grasslands, and western Liaoning, and let him wantonly hold 10,000+ or ​​10,000+ elite soldiers."

"Besides that, the tea leaves that earn tens of thousands of taels of gold a year are only handed over to Li Qiu alone."

"Even the tea is not accepted."

"What's more, Li Qiu got into a catastrophe back then and killed more than a thousand members of Qinghe Cui's family."

"It provoked the anger of all the people in the world, and even threatened to plunge Datang into turmoil again."

"But even so, father still carried everything to keep Li Qiu safe."

"And the Supreme Emperor, why did he favor Li Qiu all these years?"

"Is it just because he's clever, meritorious, and pleasing to the eye?"

"no!"

"Everything outsiders think is wrong."

"The reason why there are such results is because this Li Qiu is not a merchant in Chang'an City East City at all."

"His true identity is the biological son of the emperor and the empress."

"My brother with the same father and mother."

"This is the eldest son of the original emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Chengqian's words were like thunderbolts that suddenly fell from the sky.

It fell directly into Hou Junji's soul.

He just froze there.

His face was full of unbelievable horror.

After a while, Hou Junji shook his head and asked incredulously, "Could it be that this Li Qiu is the child that His Majesty and Empress lost back then?"

Li Chengqian nodded with a serious expression at the moment, "Chen Guogong, you have been following the emperor from the beginning."

"It's even better if you know about it."

"Now, this king also admits it."

"Regardless of merit, ability, or prestige among the people and the army."

"This king can't even compare with Li Qiu."

"Furthermore, the financial power of Furong Garden and the military strength in its hands are far above this king's East Palace."

"Continuing on like this, based on the preference of the emperor and the empress for Li Qiu."

"It is very possible that the person who finally ascended to the throne is Li Qiu."

"At that time, not only the king and everyone in the East Palace will be unlucky."

"As for you, Chen Guogong, because of Li Qiu's hatred for you."

"If it really comes to that time, do you still have a chance to survive?"

"So, helping this king is also helping yourself."

"On the day we get rid of Li Qiu's followers."

"This king would like to swear to the sky that your status as Hou Junji will be higher than that of Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji!"
