Chapter 158: Letter of Confession (2)

"Haha! Brother An Yan, what brings you to my house?" Hou Junji's loud voice could be heard from a long distance away.

Li Anyan looked up at the door. A ray of golden sunlight shone into the living room, and a tall figure appeared in Li Anyan's eyes.

The golden sunlight gave the tall figure a golden coat, making him look even more majestic as he walked.

"Duke Chen, I have important matters to discuss with you today."

Li Anyan came to force Hou Junji to commit suicide, not to visit relatives and friends, so there was no need to be polite with Hou Junji and he went straight to the point.

Hou Junji, who had just walked in, was stunned! He didn't expect that Li Anyan was even more anxious than him. He originally wanted to be polite, but now it seemed unnecessary.

"Follow me!"

Hou Junji nodded, turned around and left, and Li Anyan hurriedly followed.

Since they had to discuss it alone, Hou Junji felt that his secret room was the most suitable place for the confidential talk.

"This time I came to see you on the order of the prince." Li Anyan said bluntly in the secret room.

He came to force Hou Junji to commit suicide. There was no need to waste time with Hou Junji or beat around the bush. Being direct would be more effective.

As soon as Li Anyan finished speaking, Hou Junji looked at Li Anyan in shock.

Hou Junji originally planned to use Li Anyan's convenience in charge of the palace guards to act as an insider, and then unite with Xue Wanche and others, and he would arm the servants at home.

Adding Xue Wanche and his men, I dare not say how many there are, but it would not be a problem to get two or three thousand men.

At that time, Li Anyan will assist in the palace, kill Li Chengqian in the palace, depose him, and then enthrone Li Zhi, the Prince of Jin, as the emperor, control Chang'an, and then send people to block the way back to the army of Emperor Li II.

It won't take long for Hou Junji to completely control the Tang Dynasty after Emperor Li II is trapped to death in Goguryeo.

When the time is right, he will force Li Zhi to abdicate to him.

He has already thought about how to persuade Li Anyan to agree to him and be his insider.

He never thought that things would develop like this, and Li Anyan was actually sent by the prince.

What dare he come to see him? Shake hands and make peace?

Hou Junji didn't believe that Li Chengqian would shake hands with him and make peace. He and Li Chengqian both wanted to kill each other.

"You actually surrendered to Li Chengqian, are you crazy?" Hou Junji pointed at Li Anyan with a trembling hand.

Li Anyan nodded and said, "A wise bird chooses a tree to roost in! Duke Chen, the prince has long known that you were planning to rebel and has taken precautions."

"Rebellion will never succeed! I advise you to give up this idea! So as not to harm your family."

"Why did Li Chengqian send you here? To kill me?" Hou Junji said.

He had never fought with Li Anyan and did not know the details of the other party's move, so Hou Junji did not act rashly.

"No! The prince sent me here to order you to commit suicide." Li Anyan said.

"Ridiculous! Why should I, Hou Junji, obey Li Chengqian? He told me to commit suicide, so I'm going to kill myself. Forget it!"

"I, Hou Junji, would rather die in battle than kill myself." Hou Junji roared.

He, Hou Junji, would die valiantly. He would rather fall on the way to charge than stretch his neck to be killed by others.

"I admire the courage of Duke Chen, but Duke Chen doesn't consider himself, so don't you consider your wife and children?"

"Treason is a capital crime. According to the Zhenguan Law, all fathers and sons over 16 years old will be beheaded for treason and high treason."

"Duke Chen, if you resist, His Highness will definitely not forgive your family. Do you have the heart to let your children be buried with you?"

"From now on, the lineage of Duke Chen will be cut off. Do you really want to see this ending?" Li Anyan said.

Hou Junji was stunned and glared at Li Anyan. To be honest, he didn't want to see his children being killed with him, and their family would be cut off from then on.

"As long as Duke Chen commits suicide, Your Highness can guarantee that all your family members can survive except you, Duke Chen."

"Duke Chen, which is more important, exchanging your life for the well-being of your whole family, please think twice." Li Anyan said.

Hou Junji remained silent. After all, this was a matter of his own life.

It was really difficult for Hou Junji to decide whether to abandon the car guard or let everyone die together.

"Your Highness also said that as long as Duke Chen can commit suicide, your son can inherit your title in the future and keep his wealth and honor forever."

"The Crown Prince only wants you, Duke Chen, to live, and your family can be safe! You can help Duke Chen with your funeral affairs, and you can enjoy sacrifices in the future, which is better than becoming a lonely ghost." Li Anyan was afraid that Hou Junji would not agree, so he threw out a heavy chip.

As long as Hou Junji still wanted his descendants to be rich and prosperous, as long as he wanted someone to collect his bones after his death, and he didn't have to become a lonely ghost. And he also

wanted people to continue to worship him after his death, Hou Junji would agree to Li Anyan's conditions.

Li Anyan seized Hou Junji's lifeblood and threatened his family, wife, and children's lives and future to force Hou Junji to surrender.

Hou Junji's Flying Tiger Army had been captured, and he and Xue Wanche had already joined the prince's army.

Hou Junji could be said to be a lonely man, and the rest of the people were just a few kittens who couldn't make any waves.

After a mental struggle, Hou Junji finally made a decision.

"Okay! I, Hou Junji, can promise you that I will commit suicide, but can you really guarantee that Li Chengqian can let my family go? And guarantee that my descendants will be prosperous and wealthy for generations?" Hou Junji asked.

"Duke Chen, you can rest assured about this! I, Li Anyan, guarantee with my own head. As long as you commit suicide, His Highness will forgive your family." Li Anyan used his own head as a guarantee without hesitation.

He could guarantee that Li Chengqian would not touch Hou Junji's family, but he did not guarantee that Li Er would not pursue the matter.

The final result still needs to be decided by His Majesty Li Er.

"Okay! As you wish, let me explain my funeral affairs, and I will commit suicide to apologize!" Hou Junji said.

"Duke Chen is straightforward. His Highness also said that he hopes Duke Chen can write a letter of apology so that His Highness can explain to the world." Li Anyan said.

"Thanks to Li Chengqian for thinking of this, I'm afraid it won't work if I don't agree! Anyway, I'll give him this letter of apology." Hou Junji said. He knew what Li Chengqian was up to, and he would do the same if he were in his place.

Hou Junji finished speaking, and went to the table beside him, ground ink, picked up a pen, and wrote a letter of apology to describe his crimes.

After writing it, he handed it to Li Anyan and said, "Now, you should be satisfied! I hope you can keep your promise, otherwise, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost."

Li Anyan carefully folded Hou Junji's letter of apology, put it close to his body, and smiled, "Don't worry, Lord Chen, I'll take my leave."

Li Anyan finished speaking, bowed and left, Hou Junji did not stop him, everything had become a foregone conclusion.
