Chapter four hundred and sixty seventh encouragement
When Changsun Wuji stood up and walked away, Li Chengqian realized what he was doing and couldn't help shouting: "Uncle, please show mercy for now!"
Changsun Wuji turned a deaf ear and his fat body quickly disappeared at the entrance of the main hall.
Li Chengqian was about to chase after him, but was held back by Kong Yingda.
Changsun Wuji obviously followed His Majesty's order to let Cheng Xin go. If Li Chengqian went with him, wouldn't it be a troublesome thing?
What's more, if the prince saw that he was killed on the spot, he would definitely be heartbroken, and he might even hold a grudge against his eldest son, Sun Wuji.
As the teacher of Prince Li Chengqian, Kong Yingda certainly hopes that his student can successfully inherit the throne.
Changsun Wuji wielded power in both the government and the public, which was definitely a great help to Li Chengqian's ascension to the throne.
If there is a gap between Changsun Wuji and Changsun Wuji because of this matter, then the gain will outweigh the loss!
So Kong Yingda persuaded with earnest words: "Your Highness, it must be His Majesty's will that Duke Zhao come to deal with this matter."
"Now that the matter has come to this, why do you go to embarrass Duke Zhao? What's more, Duke Zhao's move is also a good intention."
Kong Yingda's meaning is obvious.
This time Changsun Wuji directly killed Cheng Xin because of your consideration. Don't be ignorant.
Although Li Chengqian was a little indecisive, he was actually not stupid.
Of course, it can be seen that Changsun Wuji must have some hidden reasons for being so anxious to kill Cheng Xin.
He also knew that if he wanted to keep his position as prince, he would have to rely on this uncle.
After calming down, Li Chengqian's raised steps suddenly stopped and he figured it out in his mind.
So what if I go by myself?
Do you really dare to disobey your father's order and stop Changsun Wuji?
If you really go there, apart from watching helplessly, it will only add a lot of sadness!
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but smile sadly: "Thank you, my teacher, for your teaching. Chengqian knows he was wrong!"
While he was talking, Changsun Wuji took the lead and led hundreds of cavalry soldiers out of the side hall. The soldiers behind him also carried a single frame.
It can be seen from the drooped arms that the person on the stand has no breath.
Thinking about it, Cheng Xin is just a delicate Le Tong. Facing the fierce Hundred Cavalry Soldiers, it is reasonable that he has no power to fight back.
Seeing this scene, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel sad, and begged: "I wish I could meet Gu. I wonder if my uncle can hand over his body to Chengqian for disposal?"
Looking at the decadent Li Chengqian, Changsun Wuji lamented: "Your Highness is generous and benevolent, and his love is deep and righteous. How dare I disobey you?"
"Now that the matter has been settled, I will go back and deliver my orders to His Majesty."
With that said, he waved to the hundred cavalry soldiers, gave a slight salute to Kong Yingda and others, and hurriedly turned around and left.
As soon as I reached the entrance of the palace, I heard Li Chengqian's voice coming from far away: "Uncle, can you tell me who found out that the questions of the imperial examination were leaked by Ruxin?"
"Marquis Zhongyi!" Changsun Wuji paused, hesitated, uttered three words, and then quickly disappeared at the entrance of the East Palace.
Hearing this, Li Chengqian gritted his teeth, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, obviously blaming Yang Fan for his satisfactory death.
Seeing this, Fang Xuanling and Kong Yingda looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Obviously, satisfaction obviously occupies a large weight in the heart of His Royal Highness.
However, attributing all the faults to Yang Fan, isn't this just a groan of incompetence?
What's more, Yang Fan was already the Minister of Rites at a young age, and he was becoming more and more favored.
Although you, Li Chengqian, are the crown prince, you are still a long way from ascending to the throne.
Now to hold grudge against such a talented rising star with unlimited future, wouldn’t it be self-conscious?
It's a pity that Li Chengqian, who was in grief, couldn't care so much and put all the blame on Yang Fan.
Of course, Yang Fan is not afraid of such injustice. There are too many lice on his body and he no longer feels itchy!
Kong Yingda shook his head helplessly, it seemed that he needed to persuade the Crown Prince.
Although it may not be effective, it is his duty.
So, after Fang Xuanling left, Kong Yingda decided to stay and admonish Li Chengqian.
…
In Chen Guogong's Mansion, Hou Jun is sitting on pins and needles!
Although he violated military discipline by setting up troops to burn, kill and loot in Tubo, His Majesty Li Er did not severely punish him and just asked him to reflect at home.
Although Xianfu was at home, Hou Junji was not idle. Every move in Chang'an City could not escape his eye.
Of course Hou Junji is always paying attention to Yang Fan, the culprit.
From the time when Yang Fan ranked first in high school in the imperial examination, to when Yang Fan and others followed and arrested Wang Dachui, Hou Junji had a certain understanding of it.
Although I don’t know what secrets Wang Dachui hides.
But from the fact that Li Ji hurriedly entered the palace not long after Li Ji and Yang Fan met, it can be seen that this matter is not a small matter.
Finally, Changsun Wuji was summoned into the palace and led a group of hundreds of cavalry soldiers to the East Palace. This frightened Hou Junji!
What exactly does Your Majesty want to do?
Do you want to depose the prince?
As a die-hard supporter of His Royal Highness, Hou Junji was extremely anxious.
He kicked a stool next to him away and cursed.
Hou Junji knew very well that all this was obviously caused by that bastard Yang Fan.
From a gangster to a high-ranking prince, Hou Junji was actually very proud in his heart, so he developed a arrogant character.
Of course, he also has people he fears and admires.
Counting them all together, there are only two and a half that can make him, Hou Junji, respect and fear him.
The first one was of course His Majesty Li Er who discovered his talent. Li Er trained Hou Junji from a humble beginning to a famous general. Naturally, he, Hou Junji, respected and feared him.
The second one is Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty. As a benchmark for the military of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing can be said to be a true handsome man.
Thinking back to the time when Li Jing used 3,000 cavalry to cleanse the desert with blood and wipe out the humiliation of the Wei River, his unpredictable military skills were enough to make Hou Junji worship him.
Li Jing was too cautious in character and not very utilitarian. He was vaguely aware of His Majesty Li Er's fear of him, so he decisively surrendered all military power, retired to his home, and did not care about world affairs.
In this way, His Majesty Li Er took pity on his talent and asked Li Jing to teach Hou Junji the art of war.
It can be said that besides the emperor, Li Jing was also someone Hou Junji admired.
As for the last half, of course Yang Fan is at the top of his game.
Not to mention that Yang Fan was already the Minister of Rites at a young age, and his role in the Tubo battlefield made Hou Junji extremely fearful.
What's more, Yang Fan also has the support of Junchangfang, which makes Hou Junji even more jealous.
If Yang Fan hadn't been supported by His Majesty Li Er, Hou Junji would have taken action long ago!
Due to Yang Fan's young age, it can be regarded as half.
Now because of Yang Fan, His Majesty Li Er asked Changsun Wuji to lead troops into the East Palace. Of course Hou Junji was restless.
After all, the unknown is always the scariest thing.
The more Hou Junji thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he didn't know what to do.
At this time, there was the sound of footsteps outside the hall, so I had to take a deep breath and sit back down.
Before the matter was clear, people had to go and inquire about it, and apparently some news came back.
"General, there is news!" The person who came was none other than the steward of the Duke's Mansion.
"Then why did Changsun Wuji lead his troops to the East Palace?" Hou Junji asked with a gloomy face.
The housekeeper hurriedly replied: "This time Zhao Guogong took a hundred horses to the East Palace, it seems that he is trying to capture a happy boy named Ruyi!"
"It's a big deal!" Hou Junji cursed in a low voice.
As a confidant of His Highness the Crown Prince, Hou Jinqi certainly understood the ambiguous relationship between Li Chengqian and Chengxin.
Now that he has something to do, if Li Chengqian is unwilling to give up and disobeys the holy order, things will get into trouble!
Did someone deliberately use Ruixin to deal with Prince Li Chengqian?
The more Hou Junji thought about it, the more something was wrong. He stood up and said, "Hurry and prepare your horse for me. I want to enter the palace to see His Highness the Crown Prince."
"No!" the butler agreed, opening his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he hesitated, turned around and retreated.
Hou Junji has a headstrong temperament. Once he makes a decision, he will not listen to anyone's advice.
Leading his servants and riding horses, Hou Junji galloped all the way to the East Palace.
"Is the prince in the palace?"
Hou Junji jumped off his horse, handed the reins directly to the doorman, and asked as he walked quickly into the palace gate.
"His Royal Highness is in the palace with Master Kong..."
Before the fairy tale was heard, Hou Junji had already disappeared.
Looking at General Hou walking away, the doorman was dumbfounded.
This General Hou is usually very particular, always pretending to be polite and meticulous.
This may be because I didn't have a proper identity when I was a gangster, so I deliberately wanted to pretend to be an educated and noble person.
What happened today?
It is extremely rare to be in such a hurry and not even give a chance to report.
Not to mention that Hou Junji came to the main hall of the East Palace in a hurry. From a distance, he saw the prince Li Chengqian and Kong Yingda sitting on the soft collapse.
Although I couldn't hear what the two were talking about, the atmosphere between the two was harmonious and there was no imminent threat. This made Hou Junji a little strange.
This scene is a little different from what I imagined, it’s really weird!
It goes without saying that Kong Yingda was talented and learned. After all, his ancestor was the famous Confucius.
As the twenty-third descendant of Confucius, Kong Yingda came from a scholarly family and a famous family.
Kong Yingda was diligent and studious since he was a child. He studied under the great scholar Liu Zhuo, recited a thousand words a day, was familiar with the classics and biographies, and was good at poetry.
In the early years of the Sui Dynasty, he was selected as a Jinshi of "Ming Jing", awarded a doctorate in Hanoi County, and was a candidate for an assistant professor at Imperial College.
After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he became a bachelor of the Prince of Qin.
During the Zhenguan period, he successively served as doctor of the Imperial Academy, offered wine to the Imperial Academy, and the Prince's right concubine...
When it comes to reputation among scholars, Hou Junji would be ahead of him dozens of blocks away.
But Kong Yingda has a problem, which is the arrogance common to scholars. He is relatively strong-tempered, straightforward in speech, and relatively pedantic.
When speaking and doing things, you will never be tactful or tactful. You will be straightforward and can really make people mad!
Li Chengqian was addicted to singing and dancing and disliked studies. Kong Yingda always advised him: "Your Highness only knows how to play and not to make progress. How can you take over the position of emperor? Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will have opinions about this?"
Li Chengqian liked to dress up Turks and often invited them to the palace to have fun together. Kong Yingda also advised: "Turks are ambitious and good at flattery. When you are strong, they will give in. When you are weak, they will pounce on you and bite you?"
"These people have human faces and beastly hearts, and it is difficult to educate them. It is very inappropriate to introduce them into the palace, and your Majesty does not like them. Your Highness, please think again."
As a result, Li Chengqian could only drive these Turks out of the East Palace.
It can be said that although Kong Yingda has a great reputation, he also performs his teaching duties conscientiously.
But in the eyes of Prince Li Chengqian, no matter what he does, Kong Yingda doesn't like him!
Of course, Li Chengqian can only pretend not to know. Anyway, if he doesn't like it, he doesn't like it. Who cares?
As long as the class is over, the two of them will have nothing to do with each other.
Therefore, it is impossible for the two of them to communicate at all.
But what do you see now?
Hou Junji rubbed his eyes and stared at the two people talking calmly with his mouth open.
This is so unexpected!
Kong Yingda stood up from the couch and said with a smile: "It is a blessing for the Tang Dynasty and a blessing for the people that His Highness can put aside his past grudges. I am relieved!"
Li Chengqian immediately made a ashamed expression: "Master Kong, please rest assured that your sincere teachings will always be remembered in my heart, and I will definitely not vent my anger on others when I die."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Hou Junji coming to the door. He immediately asked with a bright smile: "Dong Chen Guo is here? You came just in time, Gu Ye is looking for you."
"However, the doormen and chamberlains in the palace are too ignorant of the rules. How could they not let Duke Chen know when he came, so that Gu Ye could welcome him!"
Kong Yingda was quite surprised. When did the Crown Prince become so polite?
Could it be that the persuasion just now had an effect?
Kong Yingda, who believed that he had made a great contribution, proudly stroked his gray beard, and it was obvious that he was obsessed with himself and could not extricate himself.
Hou Junji was also very surprised and swallowed. This style of painting was obviously wrong. Could it be that the prince was frightened out of his wits?
Li Chengqian had never been so polite to him in the past, which was so strange!
At this time, Kong Yingda also smiled and said a few polite words to Hou Junji, and then said to Prince Li Chengqian: "Since Chen Guogong has something to do with His Highness, Wei Chen will leave first. Please bear in mind what Wei Chen said just now."
Li Chengqian quickly bowed and saluted: "Thank you Master Kong for your advice. I'll save you."
Kong Yingda smiled in return and turned to leave.
Looking at Kong Yingda's back, Hou Junji asked suspiciously: "When did His Highness become so close to this pedantic old guy?"
But they didn't notice that Li Chengqian's face had already turned extremely gloomy as soon as Kong Yingda left.
Hearing Hou Junji's words, Li Chengqian smiled coldly: "Haha, that guy is just a lobbyist. He actually wants me to let Yang Fan go. He is too naive."
"That guy Yang Fan dares to flatter you, and I will definitely make him pay the price."
If Kong Yingda knew that his good intentions were misunderstood by Li Chengqian, he should not only cry but also laugh.
However, after listening to Li Chengqian's words, Hou Junji hurriedly retreated to the door and took a look to make sure there was no one around. Then he returned to the hall and lowered his voice and said: "Your Highness, you should avoid saying such things. You know it well."
Can."
"Although Old Man Kong is not a good person, he does have great energy and should not be offended!"
However, what disappointed him was that Li Chengqian was expressionless throughout the whole process, and even more contemptuous after listening.
"Chen Guogong has been filtered out. He is just a teacher. Being able to teach orphans is a great blessing for him, but he doesn't know how to cherish it. He dares to wear the same pants as that boy Zhongyi Hou. It's simply disgusting."
Hou Junji is in a hurry!
Kong Yingda has disciples all over the world. If people hear such words, you, the prince, will have to be replaced.
But thinking about the purpose of coming this time, Hou Junji could only quickly ask the business:
"This time Zhao Guogong brings people here to capture Le Tong. Does this involve His Highness? If there is any trouble, you must make preparations in advance."
Li Chengqian stared at Hou Junji with burning eyes, and said with a half-smile: "Chen Guogong, do you want Gu to rebel?"
Hou Junji was frightened to death: "Your Highness, please be careful, how can you say such words casually? But be careful, walls have ears. Besides, I just think that you are prepared, not..."
This means that some things can be done but cannot be said, and they can only be prepared in advance.
Li Chengqian was quite moved. Perhaps this "little white monkey" was the only one who wholeheartedly wanted to ascend to the throne of God.
Of course, Li Chengqian also knew Hou Junji’s little thoughts?
Since Li Jing gradually withdrew from the court, Hou Junji claimed to be the most famous general in the court.
He was very dissatisfied with being on an equal footing with a reckless man like Cheng Yaojin, and expressed to Li Er many times that he wanted to be granted the title of Taiwei.
But Li Er ignored him at first, and later appointed Chang Sun Wuji as Taiwei. This made Hou Junji extremely dissatisfied, thinking that Li Er looked down on him.
So Hou Junji got closer and closer to him, thinking deeply about making himself the emperor and conferring him the title of Three Dukes.
In the final analysis, what he wanted was the support of the courtiers, while what Hou Junji wanted was reputation and status. Each of them got what they needed.
