Chapter 154 Xue Wanche (1)

After Hou Junji entered the secret room, the door slowly closed. Hou Junji came to a corner where there was a locked cabinet.

Hou Junji carefully unlocked the cabinet and took out several yellowed letters. These were the evidence of his conspiracy with Li Chengqian to rebel.

With these, he could report the crime of rebellion against the crown prince Li Chengqian, and he would be rewarded for his meritorious reporting. He

, Hou Junji, was devoted to the country. How could he be in collusion with the crown prince? For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, he must report the crown prince's crimes.

Thinking of this, Hou Junji couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of a smile, and flipping through the "evidence" in his hand.

The smiling expression froze on his face, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his heart skipped a beat.

Then he flipped through all the letters in his hand several times, but they were still empty, without a single word, not to mention anything else. It was obviously a blank sheet of paper.

At this time, Hou Junji finally understood that the letters in his secret room had been stolen, and it was stolen without anyone knowing.

Hou Junji sat paralyzed on the ground, he knew he was done! The prince would definitely not let him go, and now there was no evidence of the prince's rebellion.

It was like losing the amulet, and Hou Junji would become meat on the chopping board, at the mercy of others. He was really a fish on the chopping board.

At this time, in the main hall of the East Palace, Li Chengqian was sitting on the throne.

On the left of him sat the left guard captain Xue Wanche.

Because of his close relationship with Li Tai, Xue Wanche was implicated in Li Tai's seizure of the throne, and was demoted from a general of the left guard to a small officer of the captain who guards the gate.

He is also one of the main members of Hou Junji's Laza's intention to rebel.

In order to completely disintegrate Hou Junji's conspiracy, it is necessary to subdue Xue Wanche and others. Moreover, Li Er once said to others that there are only three famous generals today: Li Yu, Li Daozon, and Xue Wanche.

Xue Wanche's ability can be seen to receive such an evaluation from Li Er.

If Xue Wanche can be used for his own purposes, it would be the best.

"I don't know why Your Highness summoned me to meet you this time! What is your order?" Xue Wanche asked with a bow.

"I summoned you here this time to show you a clear path, so that you don't go down a path you shouldn't go." Li Chengqian smiled.

"I don't understand what your Highness means!" Xue Wanche said, but he was thinking about the meaning of Li Chengqian's words.

"I won't beat around the bush with you. I summoned you this time because of the matter between you and Hou Junji." Li Chengqian said.

Xue Wanche was startled, his hands trembled, and the cup in his hand almost fell to the ground. He secretly wondered if the prince already knew that he and Hou Junji were plotting a rebellion.

This time he was summoned to the East Palace for an audience, which was actually a Hongmen Banquet. Maybe there were already ambushed swordsmen behind the screens around, waiting for the order to rush out and chop him down. The more

Xue Wanche thought about it, the more frightened he became. Cold sweat streamed down his forehead, and his eyes looked around unsteadily to see if there was an ambush behind the screen.

After some observation, Xue Wanche concluded that, apart from the six sword-wielding warriors not far from the prince, there were no signs of an ambush.

Xue Wanche calculated the distance between him and Li Chengqian in his mind.

If he suddenly attacked, could he take down Li Chengqian in a short time? The result was no.

First of all, the distance between them, even if he rushed with all his strength, from standing up to rushing in front of Li Chengqian, and in a short time, before the swordsman rushed out,

he would have less than a 30% chance of taking down Li Chengqian. This was without the six sword-wielding guards, and he would have a 30% chance of rushing in front of Li Chengqian and taking him down.

Taking into account the obstruction of the six knife-wielding guards, Xue Wanche found that he had no chance of winning. After weighing the pros and cons, Xue Wanche decided not to confront the prince.

"I don't quite understand what your Highness means. Although I have some contacts with Duke Chen on weekdays, it is just the contacts between ordinary friends. Why bother your Highness to summon me to the East Palace?" Xue Wanche said.

"Mr. Xue, you are a sensible person. I won't waste my words on you. You just can't remember it for a while, but it doesn't matter. I can remind you and help you remember it well." Li Chengqian said.

Li Chengqian waved to Wang Quan, and Wang Quan immediately stepped forward and handed the prepared evidence to Xue Wanche.

Xue Wanche didn't take it seriously at first. He and Hou Junji were talking secretly in private, and no one would know what they talked about.

Even if they were very secretive, there would always be mistakes. The evidence Wang Quan handed to Xue Wanche was their mistake.

Xue Wanche glanced at it casually, but this casual glance made him feel numb and cold sweats ran down his back.

The content above mainly recorded a few sentences about his conversation with Hou Junji. Most of them were guesses and inferences, but they restored nearly 80% of their conspiracy.

The more Xue Wanche read, the more panicked he became! Based on these, Xue Wanche was charged with treason, and he would die without a burial place.

Sometimes, to convict you of treason, you don't need sufficient evidence, as long as it is convincing and no one can refute it, then your treason charge will be established.

Xue Wanche's current situation belongs to this kind of situation. As long as the prince believes that you are going to rebel, he can be arrested and convicted directly.

"I don't know if Xue Qing understands what I mean after reading this? Do you remember anything?" Li Chengqian smiled.

"I understand what your highness means. Thank you for your reminder, your highness. I have remembered everything!" Xue Wanche wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said.

Xue Wanche is also a poor man. When he first joined Prince Yin, he thought he would be able to enjoy glory and wealth from then on.

However, Emperor Li II launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident in advance, and counterattacked before Prince Yin and Prince Qi could react, and finally seized the highest power of the empire.

Xue Wanche could only live in seclusion in the mountains. Fortunately, Emperor Li II valued talents and sent people to recruit him from the mountains.

He has been loyal to Emperor Li II for many years, and has made many outstanding achievements. He was promoted to the rank of General of the Left Guard.

Later, in the struggle for the succession, he was very close to Prince Wei Li Tai. It was originally thought that Li Tai would win, but he made a wrong choice once.

Li Tai was deposed as a commoner, and those who were close to Li Tai were dealt with by Emperor Li II. If it weren't for Xue Wanche's contributions to the Tang Dynasty, he would not even be able to be a soldier.

Just when he was feeling frustrated, Duke Chen Junji appeared before him and instigated him to conspire for a rebellion.

Xue Wanche once again failed at the hands of fate. His conspiracy with Hou Junji was discovered by the crown prince.

If the crown prince were to investigate, Xue Wanche would be dead. He would not only lose his life, but also his life.

It must be said that Xue Wanche's luck was bad enough. He did not stand in the right position several times.
