After Wang Ze left the palace, he got on the carriage.
The driver drove the carriage to a place with few pedestrians, stopped the carriage, looked around, and took off the clan emblem hanging on the carriage.
The carriage drove again and came to the back door of a house.
The coachman looked around and saw nothing unusual, then stepped forward and knocked on the door.
After the door opened, the coachman communicated with the other party for a few words, returned to the carriage and said, "Sir, it's all right."
"Well!" Wang Ze got off the carriage and said, "Wait here."
"yes!"
Wang Ze walked into the house, and the door of the house was closed.
Wang Ze was led by his servants to a study room.
There was a middle-aged man sitting in the study. The middle-aged man was reading a book. When he heard the footsteps, he didn't even raise his head. He seemed to be very fascinated by what he was reading.
The servant bowed to the middle-aged man, closed the door and left.
Wang Ze looked at the middle-aged man and said with a smile: "Duke Lu is in a good mood."
Hou Junji seemed to have come back to his senses from the book, looked at Wang Ze and said with a smile: "Master Wang is here, please take a seat."
Wang Ze sat down on the Taishi chair.
Hou Junji said: "Come, let's serve tea."
Wang Ze said: "Don't bother me. I have something I want to talk to Duke Lu."
Hou Junji said: "I wonder what Mr. Wang wants to talk to me about?"
Wang Ze looked at Hou Junji and said, "I originally thought that Duke Lu would become decadent if he was idle. It seems that Duke Lu enjoys such a life."
A trace of anger flashed in Hou Junji's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and he said calmly: "As the saying goes, you are light when you have nothing to do. Reading a book in your spare time is not bad."
Li Shimin dismissed Hou Junji from all his positions and only retained his title.
For the power-hungry Hou Junji, how could Hou Junji not resent Li Shimin?
But of course the city where Hou Jun is gathering will not be exposed.
"Does Duke Lu know who reported you?" Wang Ze asked.
Hou Junji shook his head and said: "I am just obsessed with it. It doesn't matter who reported it."
During this period of time, Hou Junji calmly thought about the Gaochang incident and discovered many ill-considered aspects.
It is impossible for an army of tens of thousands of people to do anything without making any noise.
Hou Junji knew that even if no one reported him, something would happen sooner or later.
Although Hou Junji understood, he still resented Li Shimin.
In Hou Junji's view, he was loyal and accomplished the task of destroying the country, so he just took some treasures. Li Shimin actually put him in jail directly.
Although he was dismissed from his post in the end, Hou Junji was not grateful at all.
Li Shimin did this simply because he wanted him to continue to work for the Tang Dynasty in the future.
"Yeah, anyway, Duke Lu can't afford to offend Lin Xuan now." Wang Ze said with a sigh.
Hou Junji looked at Wang Ze coldly and said, "Sir, just tell me what your purpose is."
Hou Junji knew very well that Lin Xuan did not do this.
Wang Ze said this just because he wanted him to deal with Lin Xuan.
Although Lin Xuan had nothing to do with the accusation against him, Hou Junji's hatred for Lin Xuan would not disappear.
The humiliation Lin Xuan gave him back then is still vivid in his mind.
Wang Ze did not continue to test and said directly: "Lin Xuan is too arrogant. Our Wang family wants his life."
Hou Junji was not surprised and asked calmly
He said: "With the power of the Wang family, it is not difficult to deal with him, right? I don't have an official position now. I only have some soldiers, but I can't help."
Wang Ze nodded and said: "It's not difficult for my Wang family to deal with him. It's just that he has been staying in Chang'an, so it's not easy to deal with."
There was something Wang Ze didn't say. If Hou Junji hadn't been smart and wanted to restrict Lin Xuan. During the battle of Gaochang, Lin Xuan was not allowed to enter the city. Lin Xuan would have died long ago.
At the beginning, they jointly sent hundreds of dead soldiers to sneak into Gaochang Royal City.
However, because Hou Junji was too smart, Lin Xuan stayed in the military camp and never found a chance.
"I can't go to court now, and I don't have an official position. There's no way to transfer him out of Chang'an." Hou Junji said calmly.
Hou Junji was not helpless, but he could not leave no trace.
If something happens to Lin Xuan by then, he will take the blame for the Wang family.
Wang Ze smiled slightly and said: "There is no need for Duke Lu to participate. Duke Lu has commanded the army for many years, and it shouldn't be difficult to delay the rescue by letting the Chang'an city gate guards be guarded, right?"
Hou Junji looked at Wang Ze in shock: "You want to take action in Chang'an?"
Wang Ze nodded and said, "That's right."
He was not worried about Hou Junji reporting on him. The Wang family knew about Hou Junji's partnership with the Cui family in selling illegal salt.
Hou Junji also knew that the Wang family knew that as long as Hou Junji was not a fool, it would be impossible to report him.
Hou Junji showed hesitation and said: "It is definitely impossible not to rescue. It can only delay for half an hour at most. This is the limit."
Wang Ze smiled and said: "Half an hour is enough."
Although Lin Xuan lives outside the city, he is on the edge of Chang'an after all, and the Wang family cannot send too many dead soldiers.
The Lin family is not far from Chang'an, and if the movement is slightly louder, the soldiers guarding the city will be able to detect it quickly.
Lin Xuan has so many personal soldiers. If he fails to succeed before reinforcements arrive, he will have no chance in the future.
Half an hour's delay, plus the time spent on the journey, is enough.
"Master Wang is so confident? You must know that Lin Xuan was assassinated once before. I heard that he is very skilled in martial arts." Hou Junji asked.
He also knew that the Wang family could not send too many people, but he did not know why Wang Ze was so confident.
Wang Ze sneered and said: "There were only a few people last time, but my Wang family sent two hundred dead soldiers this time. Lin Xuan is young. Even if he has martial arts, how good can he be?"
Although Lin Xuan's martial arts skills are very high, few people know about him.
In Wang Ze's view, it was just spreading rumors.
"When are you going to take action?" Hou Junji asked.
Wang Ze said: "That night at the Royal Polo Club."
Hou Junji nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
"In that case, I take my leave." Wang Ze said.
"I'm sending Mr. Wang off." Hou Junji stood up and said.
Wang Ze shook his head and said: "In order not to attract other people's attention, Duke Lu doesn't need to send it away."
Hou Junji nodded, did not insist, and sent Wang Ze out of the study without sending him back.
Seeing Wang Ze disappear, Hou Junji sneered and returned to the study.
Although he promised Wang Ze, he had no real intention to do it.
Hou Junji, the general who defended the city, knew him, but he was not sure that they would not reveal him if something happened.
Although he wanted to kill Lin Xuan, he was not prepared to involve himself in it.
If the Wang family succeeds, he will naturally be happy.
If it fails, it has nothing to do with him.
As for whether the Wang family would cause trouble for him, he wasn't worried at all.
…
Wang Qingyun was waiting anxiously in the living room at home. When he saw Wang Ze coming back, he quickly asked: "Dad, has Duke Lu agreed?"
Wang Ze glared at Wang Qingyun, sent the servant away, and scolded: "How many times have I told you, don't be so impatient."
"Dad, I know." Wang Qingyun shrank his head.
Wang Ze stroked his beard gently and said: "Hou Junji has agreed. There are still three days until the polo match. How many of those dead soldiers have arrived?"
Wang Qingyun looked happy and said: "Dad, don't worry, more than 160 people have arrived, and they are all scattered around Chang'an. The rest will arrive in two days at most."
Wang Qingyun felt very happy when he thought that Lin Xuan could be killed in a few days.
It's a pity that I can't kill Lin Xuan myself.
Wang Ze nodded and said, "You must not contact them in person."
"Dad, don't worry." Wang Qingyun nodded.
Wang Ze smiled and said: "I am impeaching Lin Xuan today just to eliminate his wariness. He is so proud that he can't do anything to him. Haha..."
Lin Xuan cooperates with the Cui family. If he does nothing, I am afraid Lin Xuan will always be wary.
Now Lin Xuan may think that these are the only means he has.
I wonder if Lin Xuan will understand this when facing a dead soldier.
Thinking of this, Wang Ze laughed very happily.
"I guess when he died, he didn't even know who sent him! He could only be a confused man." Wang Qingyun also laughed.
