Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Although King Lu and Hou Junji knew in their hearts that what Li Yuanxiang said was exactly what they had been plotting for a long time, they couldn't help beating their hearts when they heard Li Yuanxiang say it so bluntly.

Because this kind of thing can only be talked about behind closed doors, once it is spread, it will lose your head.

King Jing didn't think so, and yelled carelessly: "What can't you say? None of you here are outsiders, and didn't Father say that he had already informed Cheng Qian in the letter? Yuan Fang, not the second brother Speaking of you, you are too timid, right? How can someone who achieves great things be so timid as a mouse?"

"You, you brave and foolish warrior!"

Being squeezed by King Jing, Li Yuanfang reprimanded with blushing cheeks: "Don't you know that walls have ears? You really can't get rid of this stinky mouth in your whole life."

"Uncle Jing, Uncle Daoxiao, don't argue anymore!"

Li Chengqian persuaded the two of them calmly, and said: "We are all a family, and we will be angry if we continue to argue. Uncle Daoxiao is respectful and cautious in doing things, and he is naturally considerate. But Uncle Jing has always been straightforward. It is also because we are all a family that we are so outspoken. But Chengqian, there are still many things to learn from and rely on from the three emperor uncles in the future."

Li Chengqian's words were beyond the expectations of the three brothers, King Lu. Is this still the vindictive young man who acted recklessly back then?

Unexpectedly, after being deposed for a period of time, people have become more restrained.

He was so calm about such things as seeking to usurp the throne.

For three days, Shibie should treat each other with admiration. For Li Chengqian, the three brothers, King Lu, had a lock in their hearts.

But Hou Junji smiled and cupped his hands flatteringly: "His Royal Highness is so humble, so humble and courteous, if you don't take the seat of the prince, who among the heirs of the emperor has the right to sit?"

"Thank you Duke Lu for your reputation!"

Li Chengqian smiled, and asked again: "Mr. Lu, I went back to Chang'an the day before yesterday and stayed in the mansion for a day, but what I heard in my ears was the entanglement between your Hou family and the Helan family. The two brothers of the Helan family Didn't you always follow the lead of Lu Guo's stallion? How could such a thing happen?"

As soon as the topic changed, the attention of the three Lu brothers were all focused on Hou Junji.

Helan Chushi's escape from marriage, and the rumors that the daughter of the Hou's mansion is extremely ugly is not new, and everyone present is well aware of it.

But from Hou Junji's mouth, it has a different flavor.

After Hou Junji explained what happened succinctly, he finally pointed to his clothes and said with a wry smile, "I'm wearing casual clothes today and I came out from the back door. Alas, everyone in the city is now Rumor has it that my daughter of the Hou family is a lame hag, saying that if my daughter of Hou Junji cannot be married, the Helan family must be forced to marry her. In the end, the bastard Helan Chushi was forced to escape marriage and become a monk. Your Highness, three lords, what do you say? , how can I raise my head to meet people from now on?"

Speaking of this, Hou Junji gritted his teeth and scolded: "Helan Qiaoshan is a thing that is not successful enough to fail. If Helan Chushi can't get married as scheduled in a few days, hmph, then I will be ashamed .When the time comes, I, Hou Junji, will have a hard time, and their Helan family won't want to be alone."

"no!"

Dao Xiao Wang Li Yuanfang was the first to shake his head and said: "Now Helan Qiaoshan has [-] troops of the Left Jinwu Guard, which plays a vital role in our plan. So you can't blame Helan Qiaoshan for this. On the contrary, we We need him now, we need the [-] soldiers in his hands!"

King Lu also nodded in agreement and said: "Yuan Fang is right, now we can't lose the big because of small things, Helan Qiaoshan must be recruited as soon as possible, and the whole plan cannot be ruined because of him."

King Jing patted Hou Junji on the shoulder, and shouted with a smile: "Mr. Lu, those who make big things don't care about trifles. What kind of fart is this little grievance? Besides, even this rough man like this king can see it." Come out, it is obvious that someone is playing tricks behind your back, destroying the feud between your two families! Forget it, forget it, it’s nothing to lose face, just let it go. After the big event is done in the future, we will help you to play behind the scenes The guy who plotted is found out, let you kill him to vent your anger, will it work?"

Hou Junji shook his head and remained silent, obviously disapproving of the advice of the three princes.

But Li Chengqian suddenly said: "Grandfather mentioned to me in the letter that Guo Ye, the Duke of Pingyang County, is now in charge of the [-] soldiers and horses who lead the army, and he is also on the same boat as us. Why didn't he come today? ? Didn’t you invite him over for a gathering today?”

Chapter 1010

Don't miss people during the day, don't talk about ghosts at night.

At this time, Guo Ye was visiting Kong Yingda's house. Halfway through the conversation between the two, Guo Ye suddenly felt his ears itching and hot, as if nymphs and ants had crawled over them, and he couldn't help stretching out his hands to scratch his ears.

Seeing this, Kong Yingda had no choice but to take back half of what he had said, and asked concerned: "What's the matter, are you feeling unwell?"

"Ah, Ah, Ah!"

Just after Guo Ye finished scratching the itch, he sneezed three times without warning, Kong Yingda was so frightened that he raised his sleeves to cover his face, so that Guo Ye would not splash his saliva on his face.

Guo Ye hastily moved his hand from the base of the ear to the nose, rubbed it lightly, and said with a wry smile: "The base of the ear was itchy, and he sneezed three times, and he said he thought about it, scolded him and complained about it. Could it be that someone said something behind his back? I speak ill of you?"

Kong Yingda glared at him angrily, blew on his beard, and pretended to be angry: "Your silence is strange, your kid is talking nonsense. By the way, what did the old man say just now?"

"Hey, don't worry, my lord, didn't I just say it casually?"

Guo Ye made a haha, and then said: "You said just now that I don't like the crown prince Chengqian on weekdays, and I can't urinate in the same pot with Changsun Wuji and others. The initiative of Wuji and others supports the restoration of Li Chengqian!"

"Yes, that's about it."

Kong Yingda's cloudy eyes were full of sophistication, and he asked: "Boy Guo, I know that you have never done such a loss-making business, and you have made Li Chengqian, Changsun Wuji and others cheaper for no reason. Could it be that there is another layer of deep meaning behind your doing so?" ?”

Guo Ye couldn't help laughing wryly when he heard the words, he hesitated to speak, and every time he wanted to tell the whole story about the plan of the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan and the others, he swallowed it back at the end.

After Kong Yingda saw it, she became more suspicious, and asked in a displeased tone, "What's wrong? Could it be that you really have something to hide from this old man? Or, you can't trust this old man?"

"No, no, no, my lord, don't worry!"

Guo Ye quickly appeased Kong Yingda, and weighed it in his heart. Now that Li Jing already knew the whole story, he should not hide it from Kong Yingda. He reckoned that he would not tell him now, and Li Jing would tell His Majesty Li Er later. , Kong Yingda can also know the truth and the whole story from His Majesty Li Er.After all, this kind of thing cannot be covered by paper, and the unity of the Qingliu Department of Shilin should not be destroyed because of this matter.

With a thought in his mind, he immediately opened his mouth and spoke out the plans of Taishanghuang Li Yuan and others to change the world, and revealed the whole thing like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube, without any concealment in the middle.

During this period, including Li Yuan and the others who detained Guan Jiujiu and Wang Bodang in private, using this to coerce him into participating in the plan and collaborating with them, they all made it clear one by one.

In one go, after telling all the things that have been hidden in his heart for a long time, Guo Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly shouted, happy!

Unexpectedly, before he recovered his breath, Kong Yingda, who was always strong, turned his palm and slapped the table heavily.

Bang!

"It's unreasonable, it's a big treason!"

Kong Yingda shouted angrily: "Could it be that the Supreme Emperor has become more and more confused, disregarding the safety of the country and the country, and doing such unscrupulous things for his own selfishness? And those few princes who were born out of concubine, they don't think about themselves What is his identity, hmph, the most irritating thing is Hou Junji, such an ungrateful and wolf-hearted person, doesn't he know that everything about him today is bestowed by the current majesty?"

Mr. Kong Boss is really an old man with great ambitions. When he scolds people, he can talk like a river without stopping.

Guo Ye hurried over to comfort him and said, "Hey, my lord, calm down first, otherwise it will be bad if you lose your temper."

"And you, Guo Ye!"

Kong Yingda didn't seem to be finished, pointed at Guo Ye, and continued to reprimand: "How could you be so ignorant that you agreed to work with them? This is an act of disloyalty and injustice. You are going to lose your head and have your house ransacked." Genocide!"

Guo Ye blushed for a while, and said aggrievedly: "My lord, haven't I been threatened by the Supreme Emperor? I can't watch my friend get killed by them, can I? Besides, this is just a temporary compromise, nothing more than hypocrisy! Don't worry. , I have a comprehensive plan with Li Weigong, so that the emperor and the country will not be endangered."

"You and Li Jing have countermeasures?"

After Kong Yingda listened to Guo Ye's explanation, he became more angry, and asked suspiciously: "Is it really just hypocrisy, not a trick?"

"It's true! You always have a hundred hearts."

Guo Ye assured Kong Yingda of his plan with Li Jing.

After finishing speaking, he added another sentence: "If I got on their pirate ship, I would deliberately instigate Helan Chushi to escape from marriage, and spread rumors all over the city, causing Hou Junji to lose a lot of face. The relationship between the Helan family and the Hou family? The reason why I want to do this is to make Hou Junji and Helan Qiaoshan turn against each other and cut off one of their arms."

Kong Yingda has also heard about the gossip news that is the most popular in Chang'an City. Now that Guo Ye said this, she suddenly realized it and exclaimed: "It turns out that this incident was written by you? You really are a kid!" Lacking a great virtue, I actually thought of such a crooked trick. But thinking about Hou Junji, a shameless person who dares not go out to meet people like a street mouse, this old man will enjoy it just thinking about it."

Guo Ye grunted, and said: "Of course, because of this matter, Hou Junji and He Lan's family will never be as close as before, and there will always be a crack that cannot be healed. Helan Qiaoshan and the [-] left Jinwu guards under his command won it over, so it won't be used by the Supreme Emperor and the others."
