Chapter 147 Hou Junji breaks into the palace

"Everyone, get out of my way, I want to see the prince!" Hou Junji waved his hand and pushed aside a man who came to stop him.

The other eunuchs did not dare to delay and immediately stepped forward to stop Hou Junji outside the palace.

Hou Junji was seen running left and right, attacking repeatedly and knocking all the approaching eunuchs to the ground.

These eunuchs were no match for the veterans of the battlefield. In just a quarter of an hour, they were all lying on the ground groaning.

"Humph! A bunch of guys who don't know their own abilities." Hou Junji said contemptuously, and was about to walk inside.

The guards of the East Palace who heard the news surrounded Hou Junji.

When Cheng Wuting, the left eunuch of the Eastern Palace, saw the eunuchs lying on the ground, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Duke Chen, what's wrong with these people? Why are they all lying on the ground?"

"Your Highness has ordered that Duke Chen is waiting outside. Duke Chen refused to listen and insisted on forcing his way in. We stepped forward to stop him, and he beat several of my brothers to the ground." The eunuch told the truth. "

Duke Chen, please respect yourself. Without Your Highness's order, you are not allowed to step into the palace!" Cheng Wuting blocked Hou Junji's way.

Hou Junji dared to make trouble in the Eastern Palace. Cheng Wuting, as the left eunuch of the Eastern Palace, should have taken Hou Junji down.

But considering that he was a founding hero of the Tang Dynasty and was entrusted with an important task by His Majesty, Cheng Wuting didn't want to confront him head-on.

"Get out of the way. I came here to see the Crown Prince on his orders. You dare to block me. If anyone dares to block my way again, don't blame me for being rude!" Hou Junji refused to give in. "

Forgive me for not being able to obey your orders. As the left inner officer of the Eastern Palace, I naturally have to protect the safety of His

Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Duke Chen wants to enter the palace without His Royal Highness's permission, which is a violation of the order. If Duke Chen goes one step further, don't blame me for being rude." Cheng Wuting confronted Hou Junji. He had taken Hou Junji down without even meeting him, which somewhat considered the face of Duke Chen. But if Hou Junji insisted on entering the palace, then he could only be rude to him!

"I, Hou Junji, have fought in many battles and have seen all kinds of battles. I came to meet the crown prince, but you dared to block me. If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being rude." Hou Junji said.

Li Eryuan was in Goguryeo now, not in the court. He had the letter in which Li Chengqian discussed the rebellion with him.

Even if he broke into the East Palace, he would not dare to do anything to him. Otherwise, once the matter was exposed, it would be hard to say whether Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince could be kept.

Because of this, Hou Junji dared to break into the East Palace without any scruples. Otherwise, he would be punished for the crime of breaking into the East Palace with great disrespect, which would be enough to make him drink a pot of wine.

Hou Junji took a step forward. He was determined to break into the East Palace today.

"Since Duke Chen is so determined, I have no choice but to offend him!" Cheng Wuting saw that Hou Junji was really going to break into the East Palace, so he had to take him down.

"You dare to stop me, today I will teach you a lesson for your father." Hou Junji immediately took action to meet Cheng Wuting's attack.

The two exchanged dozens of moves, and Cheng Wuting was slightly better.

The guards beside him took the opportunity to attack Hou Junji, launching surprise attacks from time to time, and Hou Junji was exhausted to deal with them.

In the end, two fists were no match for four hands, and Hou Junji was captured by Cheng Wuting and a group of guards.

"Let me go! You are so brave that you dare to attack the Duke. Who gave you the courage to do this?"

"How can you be called a hero when so many of you bully me? If you have the guts, let's fight alone." Hou Junji shouted in dissatisfaction.

They were guards guarding the East Palace. Their duty was to protect the safety of the East Palace. Naturally, they would not have any personal ideas. When dealing with opponents, they would naturally attack in groups.

"You watch here. I will report to His Highness!" Cheng Wuting said.

"Yes!" The guards took the order, and Cheng Wuting turned and walked into the hall.

At this time, Wang Quan had already told Li Chengqian everything that had just happened outside the hall.

The happiest person here was Li Yifu. Hou Junji's capture was a relief for him. If not for Li Chengqian in the hall, Li

Yifu wanted to rush out immediately to see Hou Junji's embarrassed look.

"I am Cheng Wuting, the left inner officer of the East Palace, and I am here to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Cheng Wuting bowed to Li Chengqian.

"No need to bow!" Li Chengqian said, "I already know what happened outside."

"Your Highness! How should Duke Chen be dealt with?" Since the Crown Prince already knew what happened outside, he would not repeat it.

"Bring him in! I still have something to ask him." Li Chengqian said.

"Yes!" Cheng Wuting took the order and retreated. When he came to the outside of the hall, Cheng Wuting asked two guards to escort Hou Junji into the hall with him. "Your Highness

! Duke Chen is here!" Cheng Wuting said.

"I, the old minister Hou Junji, have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Hou Junji saluted. "No need to be polite!" Li Chengqian said. "Thank you, Your Highness!" Hou Junji questioned Li Chengqian, "Since Your Highness summoned me to meet you, why did you humiliate me for no reason? If Your Highness does not give me an explanation, I will report you to Your

Majesty ." Hou Junji's tone was tough and somewhat arrogant. "Duke Chen secretly withheld my money and broke into my East Palace. You still have the nerve to say that I humiliated you. It's really ridiculous." "Duke Chen wants to report me, so go ahead. I want to see how my father will deal with it if he knows what Duke Chen did." Li Chengqian said. Hou Junji actually dared to take advantage of his seniority in front of him and was so arrogant. Did he really think he was afraid of him? Hou Junji was surprised! Is this still the prince he knew? The previous prince would not talk to him like this, trying his best to win him over, hoping to get his support. Even if his tone was not good, he was polite, and he had never had such an attitude before. "Your Highness! Let me explain this matter to you in detail." Hou Junji said. "Then let Duke Chen speak! I want to see what Duke Chen has to say." Li Chengqian said. "This matter involves Your Highness! Please dismiss the people around, I want to report to Your Highness alone!" Hou Junji said. Li Chengqian was stunned! He couldn't figure out what Hou Junji was doing. Li Chengqian frowned, but finally agreed to Hou Junji's request. "In this case, I will do as Duke Chen wishes. I hope Duke Chen can give me a reasonable explanation."

"All of you should retreat outside the palace. No one is allowed to enter without my order."

"My dear! You are the only one left..." Wang Quan stopped talking halfway. He was worried that Hou Junji would harm Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian naturally saw what Wang Quan was thinking and said, "Duke Chen is the pillar of the Tang Dynasty. Are you still afraid that he will harm me in this palace? No need to say more, retreat quickly."

This is the East Palace. Even if Hou Junji is bold and presumptuous, he will never dare to do anything to the prince in the East Palace.

Injuring the country is a capital crime, and the nine clans will be exterminated. As long as Hou Junji is not crazy, he will not do anything reckless.

"Yes!" Wang Quan and others took the order, retreated from the palace and waited outside the palace.
