Chapter 950 Have a sip of tea, is there any problem?
"Why did you tell that boy Zhao Chen about my release of Hou Junji so quickly?"
In the Ganquan Hall, Old Li Tou looked at Wei Zheng in front of him and frowned.
The emperor knew that sooner or later Zhao Chen would hear the news that he had let Hou Junji go.
But he didn't expect that Wei Zheng would leak the news to Zhao Chen immediately.
What if Zhao Chen really stopped Hou Junji on the way.
Once Hou Junji reveals Zhao Chen's identity, won't all this work be in vain?
"Your Majesty, you know Zhao Chen's temper. If you don't tell him about this now, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to talk to him in the future." Wei Zheng said to the emperor.
Except that Wei Zheng knew that if Zhao Chen kept this matter secret, Zhao Chen would blame him if he found out in the future.
Another reason is that Wei Zheng did not want to see Hou Junji, a man who committed a heinous crime, receive no punishment at all.
Leaving Chang'an City leisurely?
This is inconsistent with what Wei Zheng has always insisted on.
The emperor looked at Wei Zheng with his eyes, and he knew very well what Wei Zheng was really thinking.
Letting Hou Junji go was not the emperor's true wish.
If it were not for the stability of the court, how could the emperor care about the threat of Hou Junji?
"Xuancheng, I know that letting Hou Junji go is against your wishes, but that's the fact."
"That boy Li Tai has been frequently wooing ministers recently. His persistence in this power is no worse than that of Li Chengqian."
"once……"
"Your Majesty, these ministers all know this, so when they were in Dali Temple, they did not stop your Majesty from letting Hou Junji go."
"I will tell Zhao Chen the news of Hou Junji's escape. If he escapes this disaster, he will be lucky."
"If Zhao Chen still catches him like this, then it's no wonder His Majesty." Wei Zheng explained his considerations to the emperor.
Wei Zheng wanted to remove the emperor from this matter.
No matter what the final result is, at least there is an explanation for Zhao Chen.
"I know your considerations, but that boy Zhao Chen may not give up easily." The emperor nodded, with a gloomy look on his face.
He also heard that Zhao Chen was at the funeral homes yesterday.
One can easily imagine the hatred he felt towards Hou Junji.
"Your Majesty has tried his best. Whether it is for Zhao Chen, the prince, or Hou Junji, your Majesty has never owed them any debt." Wei Zheng and the emperor comforted each other.
Li Shimin had a look of self-mockery on his face.
He has done a lot of things, but he doesn't know whether those guys appreciate it or not.
"By the way, Your Majesty, if Zhao Chen knows that Hou Junji has escaped from prison, he will definitely send people to search Chang'an City."
"As for Dong Palace..."
"What, he still wants to search the East Palace?" Old Li Tou's expression changed at that time.
"Your Majesty, Duke Zhao requests an audience." The eunuch's voice sounded outside.
Although Zhao Chen no longer has an official title, the eunuchs in the palace still call him the Duke.
When the emperor heard the sound, the corner of his mouth twitched twice.
"Let him in!" The emperor glared at Wei Zheng and said.
…
Two days had passed since the end of the meeting between Japan and Japan before yesterday, and Li Tai slowly came back to his senses.
Li Tai could not accept the shocking reality.
I originally wanted to completely capture Zhao Chen, once and for all, and secure my position as the prince.
Who would have thought that not only was Zhao Chen fine, but he also got Hou Junji into trouble.
Even now, Li Tai can't figure out why those officials from the Ministry of War are in Zhao Chen's group.
He clearly remembered that when he was discussing with Hou Junji to deal with Zhao Chen that day, those people were the confidants who were personally invited by Hou Junji.
But nothing went wrong, but those so-called cronies became the most fatal link in their plan.
"Hou Junji, Hou Junji, you really deserve it!" Li Tai said to himself.
Du He and Helan Chushi stood on both sides, with different expressions on their faces, but neither of them spoke.
With such a perfect layout, only the last step could kill Zhao Chen.
But something went wrong in the end.
"Chu Shi, have Hou Junji's tail been dealt with completely? It can no longer involve us." Li Tai looked at Helan Chu Shi and asked.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, all the letters with your father-in-law have been burned, and everything in the Duke's mansion has been cleaned up."
"Even if they find out the flowers, they can't get involved with us." Helan Chushi replied.
Hou Junji was imprisoned, and they were also on pins and needles.
I was afraid of being implicated by Hou Junji.
That afternoon, everything that could cause trouble was destroyed.
"That's good, Hou Jun will gather him..."
"Your Highness, is there any need to be so worried?" Before Li Tai finished speaking, he heard Hou Junji's voice coming from outside.
"Hou Junji!" Li Tai's expression changed immediately.
Hou Junji should be imprisoned in the Dali Temple Tianlao at the moment. How could he appear in his East Palace?
"Your Highness, I haven't seen you for two days, how are you?" Hou Junji strode into the palace wearing clothes he didn't know where he got from.
At this moment, Hou Junji no longer had the hawkish gaze of the past, and there was a faint look of decadence in his eyes.
"Father-in-law."
"General Hou!" Helan Chushi and Du He both changed their expressions.
Hou Junji escaped from the Dali Temple Heavenly Prison and came directly to the East Palace?
The two of them didn't understand Hou Junji's intention, so they couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just coming back to take a look."
"Your Highness, I'll sit down and have a sip of tea. Is there no problem?" Hou Junji waved his hand.
Without waiting for Li Tai's consent, he just sat down aside to mind his own business.
Instead of taking the cup, I took the teapot and drank directly.
After leaving Dali Temple, Hou Junji immediately went to Li Tai.
Hou Junji knew very well that Zhao Chen would definitely know about his escape from prison.
With Zhao Chen's hatred for him, he will definitely search for him in Chang'an City.
Even this East Palace is not safe.
But in order to leave Chang'an City, Hou Junji must get help from Li Tai.
"How did General Hou escape?" Li Tai was very surprised.
The Dali Temple Heavenly Prison is heavily guarded. How could Hou Junji have any chance of escaping?
But he is sitting in front of him now, how to explain this?
Is it possible that someone let Hou Junji go?
Li Tai thought to himself, looking at Hou Junji carefully.
"Your Highness, Zhao Chen will send someone to search me soon. I need to leave Chang'an City as soon as possible." Hou Junji did not explain to Li Tai how to get out.
He just informed Li Tai of his purpose of coming here.
"Father-in-law, this is the East Palace. You can rest here temporarily until the storm outside has passed before I send you away." Helan Chushi still wanted to help Hou Junji.
After all, he had experienced a lot of benefits from following Hou Junji in the past.
"East Palace?" Hou Junji sneered, with a strange look on his face: "Your Highness, if my guess is correct, Zhao Chen has already gone to Ganquan Palace to apply for a search of the East Palace with His Majesty."
"If I stay here, isn't Your Highness afraid of being implicated?"
Li Tai had an unspeakable expression on his face.
He is the prince, will the emperor allow Zhao Chen to search his prince's residence?
If he really agrees, how will he, the prince, hold his head high in front of all the officials in the future?
"General Hou, you will rest here for a while. How can Zhao Chen search the East Palace and the residence of the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty?" Du He had a sneer on his face.
He even felt that after Hou Junji was imprisoned this time, his brain became dull.
Can the prince's residence be searched?
No matter how insane the emperor was, he would never agree to such a request.
"Your Highness, are you sure?" Hou Junji looked at Li Tai with a smile.
