Chapter 156 Li Anyan, who knows the current situation

Li Chengqian and Xue Wanche decided not only the future of Princess Danyang, but also the life and death of Hou Junji in their conversation.

The two had a good chat, and Li Chengqian ordered people to prepare a banquet to entertain Xue Wanche warmly, which was regarded as accepting Xue Wanche as a member of the East Palace.

From then on, Li Chengqian had another famous general under his command.

Li Chengqian and Xue Wanche kept drinking and eating until the night, and both of them were drunk.

Finally, Wang Quan asked someone to send Xue Wanche back to his own mansion, and Wang Quan helped Li Chengqian go back to bed.

When he woke up the next day, it was already noon. Li Chengqian got up with a splitting headache and dry mouth, which was the sequelae of a night of hangover.

After a day's rest, the symptoms will basically disappear.

The palace maids rushed in and helped Li Chengqian to clean up. After he was dressed neatly, Wang Quan came forward to report to Li Chengqian about the situation in the court today and the news from the Jinyiwei.

Now that Li Chengqian has subdued Xue Wanche, Hou Junji is no longer a concern. As for the other person that Hou Junji was pulling.

Li Chengqian took it too seriously. He believed that Li Anyan would know how to judge the degree of seizure and know which side he should stand on to benefit himself more.

Li Chengqian believed that Li Anyan would come to the East Palace in person to apologize instead of playing with Hou Junji.

Especially when Li Anyan knew that Xue Wanche was pulled by the prince, he could not hold back.

Like Xue Wanche, Li Anyan was once an official of the hidden crown prince Li Jiancheng, and was loyal to the crown

prince. Because of Li Anyan's loyalty, Li Er arranged him to be in charge of the night guards and conferred him the title of Lieutenant General of the Left Tunwei.

Because he had always been close to Li Chengqian and had made contributions in the Li Tai incident, he was promoted to General of the Left Tunwei.

Compared with Xue Wanche, who was frustrated because of Li Tai, Li Anyan was in high spirits, so he had a closer relationship with the crown prince Li Chengqian.

This was also one of the reasons why Li Chengqian was not worried that Li Anyan would betray him and get involved with Hou Junji.

"My lord! Li Anyan, the general of the Left Tunwei, is seeking an audience outside the palace!"

Li Chengqian had just finished his meal when a eunuch came to report.

Li Chengqian took the handkerchief handed over by the palace maid, wiped his mouth, asked someone to clear the dishes, and said to the eunuch: "Let him in."

"Yes!" The eunuch bowed and left. A moment later, Li Anyan walked in from outside.

"I, General Li Anyan of the Left Guard, come to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Li Anyan hurriedly bowed when he saw Li Chengqian.

"No need to be polite! Give me a seat!" Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Li Anyan thanked him and sat down!

"What important matter brought you to my East Palace?" Li Chengqian asked after Li Anyan was done.

"Your Highness! I came here to report someone who intended to commit treason and rebellion during Your Highness's supervision of the country." Li Anyan said.

This time he came to report Hou Junji's conspiracy to rebel.

Li Chengqian pretended to be shocked! He leaned forward slightly, with a surprised look on his face, and said, "My dear, what are you talking about? You must not talk nonsense. Who dares to rebel?"

Li Anyan said, "Your Highness! What I said is true, absolutely not a single word is false. The person who intends to rebel is Duke Chen Houjunji."

"What you said is really too shocking. Duke Chen is one of the twenty-four meritorious officials of the Lingyan Pavilion of the Tang Dynasty. How could he do such a treasonous thing? Are you slandering Duke Chen?" Li Chengqian said.

Li Chengqian looked like he didn't believe what you said, which made Li Anyan very anxious, but fortunately he came prepared this time.

"Your Highness! I have evidence here to prove that Chen Guogong Hou Junji is plotting a rebellion." Li Anyan said hurriedly.

He was afraid that Li Chengqian would not believe him, so he took out the evidence he had prepared and said, "This is the evidence that Hou Junji is plotting a rebellion. Please take a look, Your Highness."

Wang Quan hurriedly stepped forward, took the evidence of Hou Junji's crime from Li Anyan, returned to Li Chengqian, and handed it to Li Chengqian for review.

Li Chengqian's eyes fell on the evidence in his hand and he read it quickly!

It clearly stated how Hou Junji made an appointment with him, Li Anyan, to plot a rebellion together.

The people, places, time, and what they said after the meeting were all recorded here one by one.

Even how many people were involved this time were written in detail here.

Li Chengqian put down the "evidence" in his hand, sighed, and looked sad.

"Duke Chen is a meritorious official of the Tang Dynasty and a pillar of the country. How could he have come to this point? It's really a pity." Li Chengqian said.

"This is all Hou Junji's own fault. Don't blame others." "

In the past, when Duke Wei Li Jing was alive, he once said to people that Hou Junji was not interested in people and would definitely rebel."

"Duke Wei was indeed foresighted and had already predicted that Hou Junji would rebel today." Li Anyan said.

Li Chengqian knew something about this allusion.

It is said that once, His Majesty Li II asked Hou Junji to learn military tactics from Li Jing. Li Jing did not teach him all the military tactics, but kept some of them.

So Hou Junji went to Emperor Li Er and reported Li Jing, saying that Li Jing was unwilling to teach him all his military tactics and had the intention of rebellion.

Li Er was very unhappy when he heard this! He immediately sent someone to call Li Jing and scolded him.

Li Er said, "What's wrong with you? Why don't you pass on your skills to Hou Junji? You are so petty."

Li Jing said calmly, "It is Hou Junji who wants to rebel, not me."

"Now the Central Plains is stable, and the military tactics I taught him are enough to pacify the four barbarians. Now he wants to learn all my military tactics, which means he will have different intentions."

At this time, Hou Junji was still a good boy, so Li Er naturally didn't believe what Li Jing said.

He felt more and more that Li Jing was a petty old man.

Another time, when Li Jing returned to the Shangshu Province after leaving the court, he saw Hou Junji riding his horse past the gate of the province for several steps without noticing.

Seeing this, Li Jing said to others, "Hou Junji is not interested in people, he will definitely rebel."

As it turned out, Hou Junji later rebelled with Li Chengqian, but was reported in advance, which made the rebellion plan go down the drain.

"Yes! It's just that my father didn't believe the words of Duke Wei at that time, so there is the trouble of Hou Junji today."

"In the 17th year of Zhenguan, when Zhang Liang was sent to Luoyang as the governor, Hou Junji also found him and persuaded Zhang Liang to rebel together."

"Later, Zhang Liang told my father about this, and my father did not take any action because he had no evidence and could not trust the words of one family." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Majesty took into account the great contributions that Duke Chen had made to the Tang Dynasty in the past and the relationship between the monarch and his subjects, so he did not take precautions against Hou Junji." Li Anyan said.

It was because of this that Hou Junji became more and more daring and reckless, and even embarked on the road of rebellion.
