Seeing that Lin Xuan was no longer objecting, Li Chengqian was worried that Lin Xuan would change his mind soon, so he quickly sent someone to call Li Lizhi.
"By the way, my father has sent Hou Junji as an envoy to the Turks. It seems that he will be re-enabled. What do you think?" Li Chengqian asked.
"Your Majesty has his own thoughts, what opinions can I have?" Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Li Shimin sent Hou Junji as an envoy to the Turks, so he naturally knew about it.
Historically, after Li Shimin found out about Hou Junji's corruption, although he was punished, in the end he was not only re-enabled, but was also given an increase in his estate.
Even if Hou Junji and Li Chengqian rebelled, Li Shimin only executed Hou Junji and exiled his family.
Although the Tang Dynasty did not say "annihilate the Nine Tribes", there was the "Three Yi Tribes".
The rebellion was enough for the three Yi tribes, which shows that Li Shimin was very tolerant of Hou Junji.
Now that Hou Junji has been activated, Lin Xuan is not surprised at all.
"Although it was Prime Minister Wei who exposed Hou Junji's corruption, there are rumors that you secretly reported it. I'm afraid Hou Junji will hold a grudge against you," Li Chengqian said.
Although someone reported it to Wei Zheng at first, many people thought it was Lin Xuan who did it.
Everyone knows about Hou Junji's suppression of Lin Xuan.
He was a vanguard army, but in the battle to destroy Gaochang, he was suppressed by Hou Junji and failed to make any contribution.
It is normal for Lin Xuan to take revenge.
"This matter really has nothing to do with me. He only needs to investigate and find out." Lin Xuan said.
Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "You are wrong. He cannot investigate this matter and does not dare to investigate it."
"Don't dare to investigate? Why?" Lin Xuan asked puzzledly.
He guessed that Hou Junji would definitely investigate afterward. It had nothing to do with him anyway, and he was not afraid that Hou Junji would hate him for it.
"If he wants to get forgiveness from his father, he won't dare to investigate. At least not in a short period of time." Li Chengqian said.
Lin Xuan thought about it for a moment and understood the reason.
Hou Junji was wrong in this matter, and what he can do now is to express his repentance.
If he investigates, if the news reaches Li Shimin's ears, it will make Li Shimin even more disgusted with him.
"Your Highness, since he doesn't dare to investigate now, he certainly doesn't dare to take revenge." Lin Xuan said nonchalantly.
Although because of him, there have been some changes in history.
But he felt that Hou Junji would eventually lead a rebellion.
Historically, Hou Junji was punished by Li Shimin for embezzlement during the Gaochang War. He resented Li Shimin and eventually rebelled.
Although history has changed a bit now, the trajectory of Hou Junji has not changed.
"I'm just reminding you to be prepared," Li Chengqian said.
Lin Xuan nodded.
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves missing you.
Hou Junji is narrow-minded. Once he regains power, who knows what he will do.
"Your Highness, Princess Changle has arrived and is now in the back garden." A eunuch walked in and said.
Li Chengqian looked at Lin Xuan and said, "Go."
"I'll take my leave first." Lin Xuan bowed and, under the leadership of the eunuch, went to the back garden.
I haven't seen Li Lizhi for a while. I don't know if it's because of the cold weather, but Li Lizhi's face looks a little pale.
Lin Xuan said with some distress: "Why is your face so white? I was given a white fold by someone. Didn't you let someone make a cotton coat for you?"
Li Lizhi's concern for Lin Xuan was very useful, but there was a maid nearby, which made her pale face appear red.
"You guys go down." Li Lizhi said to the maid standing next to her.
"Yes." The maid said a blessing and withdrew.
"I asked someone to make a cotton-padded coat and wear it inside." Li Lizhi said in a low voice.
As soon as Lin Xuan saw Li Lizhi's figure, he knew that she must be wearing the kind of thin cotton clothes that people make.
After all, it is too thick and affects your figure.
It is natural for women to love beauty.
Lin Xuan stretched out his hand and touched Li Lizhi's face, and his touch felt cold.
Li Lizhi had long been accustomed to Lin Xuan's intimate movements. Although she was embarrassed, she did not dodge.
"Your face is so cold, you don't know how to wear more clothes." Lin Xuan said with some reproach.
"It's okay." Li Lizhi smiled.
Lin Xuan took Li Lizhi's hand, sat down and said, "I asked you to come here this time because I have something to tell you..."
After hearing this, Li Lizhi did not show any displeasure and said with a smile: "You want to give them to me as maids?"
Lin Xuan nodded and said: "Yes, I can't let the people sent by the King of Han to work as maids in my house, right? It's not appropriate to keep them there."
"Are you afraid that I will be unhappy?" Li Lizhi blinked and said.
"Um." Lin Xuan was slightly startled and said, "I am indeed worried about this."
Li Lizhi was very pleased that Lin Xuan valued her so much and said with a smile: "Although I am a princess, I am not a jealous person. Even if you accept them, I will not be unhappy."
Lin Xuan shook his head and said: "Forget it, I'll just be your maid."
It is said that if he hadn't harvested Chunyue, he would have harvested it. Now that Chunyue is here, it would be too much to harvest it again.
"Actually, you don't need to send them to me. They are originally dancers. They will form a team of dancers with the two of them as the main ones. Otherwise, we usually entertain guests without singing and dancing to add to the fun." Li Lizhi suggested.
Lin Xuan's eyes lit up, this was indeed a good suggestion.
Rich families will always have some dancing girls, but his family does not have any. In the future, it will not be good to entertain some high-status people without dancing girls.
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Lin Xuan nodded.
After chatting with Li Lizhi for a while, Lin Xuan asked Li Lizhi to go back.
After all, it's too cold now and I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it if she stays outside all the time.
…
After returning home from the East Palace, Lin Xuan had someone call Leng Yue and Leng Shuang over.
"See you, Master." The twin sisters bowed cautiously.
They had arrived in Chang'an not long ago, and they were dancing girls, so they didn't know Lin Xuan at all.
Now Lin Xuan is their master and controls their destiny.
Lin Xuan looked at the twin sisters with a hint of timidity on his face. In addition, they were already pretty, which made me feel pity for them.
"You were dancers before. From now on, you can continue to be dancers. Just practice dancing normally. I will ask the butler to arrange for someone to serve you." Lin Xuan said.
"Thank you, sir." Leng Yue and Leng Shuang responded.
"Young Master, King Wei has come to visit and is already in the main hall now." Chunyue walked in and said.
Lin Xuan frowned, why did Li Tai come here?
It has been so long since he moved, but Li Taike has never been here.
"I understand." Lin Xuan nodded and said to Leng Yue Leng Shuang, "You go back first."
…
In the Lin family hall, Li Taigao sat down and drank the tea brought by the maid.
Although this was not the first time he drank Longjing, it always made him feel very unhappy.
Lin Xuan sent tea everywhere, but never gave it to him. The tea he got was a reward from Li Shimin.
Hearing the footsteps, Li Tai put away the displeasure on his face and smiled.
"Seeing His Highness the King of Wei, I didn't know His Highness was here, so I couldn't welcome him. I hope Your Highness will forgive me." Lin Xuan saluted.
Li Tai waved his hand and said, "I came here uninvited. Don't blame me. Sit down!"
This is my home, okay? Make it just like yours.
Although Lin Xuan felt unhappy, he sat down with a calm expression on his face.
"I wonder what your Highness the King of Wei has ordered when he comes?" Lin Xuan asked.
Li Tai smiled slightly and said: "I came here this time because I want to trouble Zichu for two things."
