Princess Linchuan gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, and the entire Chen Mansion was filled with joy. Although Chen Fei is young and his official position is not high, as long as he is not a person whose brain has been caught by the door, he can see how favored he is in His Majesty's heart.

Those who are mixed in officialdom have long become human spirits, but they will not give up any opportunity to get closer. So it created a strange scene, Chen Fei's official position was only five ranks, but the people who congratulated him were all members of the second and third ranks, or princes from all walks of life. If it is an ordinary fourth- or fifth-grade minister, I am afraid that when you enter the courtyard, you can only stay in the corner.

The happy event of Chen's Mansion is coming, and it is lively and lively, but it is a different scene in the other person's house in Chang'an City. It's cold, it's cool, and there is no one to visit after being released from prison.

Because Hou Junji killed prisoners indiscriminately, and it happened that there was a locust plague in China, Li Shimin was not kind, so he directly threw the pot at him and imprisoned him for a year.

It stands to reason that Hou Junji did make a mistake, the killing is unknown, in terms of criminal responsibility, he will be imprisoned for a year, and it is good to restore his official position and title afterwards, but in Chen Fei's view, this is not even a punishment, but a reward.

You think, if you are punished normally according to military discipline and law, it doesn't matter if the time is normal, at least the official position will be demoted, but Li Shimin did not demote you to an official position, and this year's time can be regarded as a rest and vacation...... It's just that the environment is a little worse.

The purpose of Li Shimin's punishment of Hou Junji is to divert the pressure of public opinion - you see, it was Hou Junji who killed the captives and caused the disaster, which has nothing to do with me, and now I am fair and just, punish Hou Junji, and put him in prison for a year, how about it? Are you satisfied?

By the way, there is also a bit of a warning to Hou Junji. The problem is that Hou Junji doesn't appreciate it!

Those who have intersected with Hou Junji know that his qi is very small. Most of the generals are bold people, and it is normal for them to joke with each other. But Hou Junji can't do it, if anyone jokes with him, he will definitely keep it in mind and find an opportunity to take revenge.

Therefore, his popularity in the court is really bad. This has led to a somewhat distorted personality, a sensitive heart, distrustful of anyone, and a bit of an unscrupulous taste in order to climb up.

For example, two years ago, he and Li Jing performed martial arts on the border and accidentally captured Xue Yantuo Yinan Khan, considering the overall situation, Li Jing finally let go of Yinan Khan. Unexpectedly, Hou Junji had not yet returned to the dynasty, so he exaggerated the facts and participated in Li Jing's book, how could he make friends if he acted like this?

Some of those who had a good relationship with him gradually distanced themselves from him.

Of course, Hou Junji will not think that this is his fault.

This time Li Shimin punished him, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Li Shimin only meant it, and he was not severely punished. In other words, for such a glorious thing as carrying the black pot for the emperor, I don't know how many people who want to climb up rush to do it. But Hou Junji didn't.

After spending a year in a cold prison cell, he did not reflect on himself well, but became more and more resentful of Li Shimin.

Especially when he was released from prison, there was not even a single person to visit, and Chen Fei was very lively in the house because he was happy with his children, and in contrast, his resentment in his heart was even deeper.

Think about being born and dying for the Tang Dynasty and snatching the throne for His Majesty, but in the end, the saints he got were not as many as a hairy boy who had not dried up, and the distortion in his heart could be imagined.

But Li Shimin is His Majesty in the end, even if he has more dissatisfaction in his heart, he does not dare to offend His Majesty, he can only bury this resentment deep in his heart, and the consequence of this is that a person with a small amount of energy like him will only become more and more unconvinced, and his resentment will get worse day by day.

The day after he was released from prison, his house finally welcomed his first visitor.

The identity of the guest is a bit special, it is the crown prince of the dynasty, Li Chengqian.

The two originally had a good personal relationship, and in the struggle between the two factions, if he had to make a choice, Hou Junji would definitely fall to Li Chengqian's side.

Although Li Chengqian is the crown prince, he really respects Hou Junji very much, and he also brought many gifts to his visit, saying that he is chong chongxi and gets rid of the bad luck in prison.

Hou Junji was greatly moved. During this time in prison, he deeply realized what it means to be in the hot and cold world. During this period, in addition to his relatives, only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to visit him regardless of his identity, which really touched him.

He is a withdrawn, cautious person, and it is precisely because of his personality that he has no friends, so the prince's kindness to him makes him really moved, and he is willing to die for the prince.

Li Chengqian grasped Hou Junji's psychology very well, and successfully pulled Hou Junji into his camp.

That's not his ultimate goal, though! What he fancies is the real military power that Hou Junji holds in his hands!

However, the meal has to be eaten in one bite, and the road has to be walked step by step, Li Chengqian is also a smart person, and he knows that saying the purpose now will greatly reduce Hou Junji's favor, so he is not in a hurry, and he is here today mainly to drink and play feelings.

In fact, Hou Junji also eats this set very much, and has endured the cynicism of others, the appearance of the prince is as warm as the sun in winter for him, without saying a word, patting his chest and promising to advance and retreat with the prince.

All right! It's enough to have this guarantee from you! Li Chengqian achieved his goal, and said goodbye to the Hou Mansion after drinking almost everything.

Next, it's time for him to start really preparing some plans!

Li Tai, you won't be able to jump for long! What my father could have done sixteen years ago, he could have done!

Throne? It can only be mine!

……………

In a gloomy courtyard in Chang'an City, Leng Yueqing and Li Ke sat opposite each other.

As usual, one with a mask and the other with a veil, both deliberately avoid each other.

"My lord, Li Chengqian seems to be a little unbearable." Leng Yueqing's voice is still so good, like a feather, constantly scratching Li Ke's heart.

"Hehe, his death is coming soon." Li Ke forcibly suppressed the lust in his heart and smiled slightly.

"When are you going to do it?"

"Do it?" Li Ke was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "What do you do?" I don't have any plans to do it. ”

Leng Yueqing looked at Li Ke with a smile and said, "Adults, don't bully the little girl for being less knowledgeable, since we have been working together for so long, adults should not always deceive the little girl." If the little girl is not mistaken, the adult should be King Wu, His Royal Highness Li Ke, right? ”

"Bang!" Li Ke slapped the table violently, his identity was recognized, and he was a little uncalm in his heart, which had always been calm.

"How do you know?"

"Guess." Leng Yueqing smiled, brushed her hair lightly, leaned back on the seat and said: "Adults don't have to be so alarmed, we are grasshoppers on the same line, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, although I know your identity, but if the adults don't do anything out of line, I won't betray you." ”

"Something out of the ordinary? What do you mean by something out of the ordinary? ”

"Of course, it means crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. My lord, I'm like this... Not excessive, right? ”

"Hehehe, not too much, not too much. I'm just curious, how do you know who I am, and, Our Lady... How many people know who I am? ”
