That night, Changsun Wuji did not return to his mansion, but went to the palace overnight to meet Prince Li Chengqian.

Because, he knew very well that he had done everything he could. If Hou Junji had done his best, it would depend on Li Chengqian's performance now.

As long as Li Chengqian showed enough sincerity and could persuade Hou Junji, the matter would be easy.

In Changsun Wuji's mind, his plan was not as simple as passive defense.

Since his side has begun to dispatch troops, he must achieve some results.

The next day, Hou Junji met with the crown prince Li Chengqian. What made Hou Junji confused was that the place where he met Li Chengqian was not in Liangyi Hall, but in the crown prince's East Palace.

When he met Li Chengqian in the East Palace, in addition to Changsun Wuji, he also had the generals of Changsun Shunde and the Sixth General of the East Palace.

"See Your Highness the Crown Prince--" Hou Junji bowed to Li Chengqian.

"Hou Shangshu is exempt from the ceremony!"

Li Chengqian stepped forward and helped Hou Junji up and said, "Today we will summon Shangshu to the Eastern Palace instead of Liangyi Hall. I would like to ask Mr. Hou to forgive me."

"I dare not--" Hou Junji replied.

"Shangshu Hou, please come to the study room to talk!"

Li Chengqian said.

Two days ago and one after another, he left the hall and walked towards the study.

Changsun Wuji and the others did not speak, but silently watched Hou Junji and Li Chengqian disappear from their sight.

After a while, Li Chengqian and Hou Junji came to the hall.

The atmosphere of the conversation between the two was very good, with Hou Junji and Li Chengqian both having smiles on their faces.

"Uncle, Secretary Hou has agreed!"

Li Chengqian said to Changsun Wuji.

"Haha--" Changsun Wuji smiled slightly and said to Hou Junji, "I believe Brother Hou will agree!"

Hou Junji also smiled slightly.

Immediately, everyone began to discuss how to deploy city defense.

Chang'an became another mansion, and the atmosphere in Li Tai's Dongwang Mansion was also extremely tense.

There were only Li Tai, Du Chuke and Su Xu in the study room, but the three of them were silent. The atmosphere in the study room seemed dull and even a little depressing.

"Who do you think sent this news?"

Li Tai picked up a letter in his hand and handed it to Su Xu and Du Chuke and asked.

"Your Highness, are there no other clues?"

Su Xu asked cautiously.

Li Tai said silently.

Just now, when he walked into the study, he found such a letter appeared on the desk.

Li Tai thought it was an ordinary letter, but he opened the letter without looking at the cover.

However, when he finished reading the contents, he was so scared that he didn't speak for a long time.

The content of the letter was so shocking. If this was the case, the place he was in would be very dangerous! So he immediately summoned the two of them to the study room to ask.

“Can the contents of the letter be taken seriously?”

Du Chuke asked carefully.

He himself could not believe what was said in the letter.

"No matter what the purpose of the sender was, we know he had no malice!"

Li Tai said, throwing the letter into the stove next to him.

"Your Highness, what should we do?"

Su Xu asked.

When something big happens, he is a little uneasy.

"I dare not admit whether the content of the letter is true-" Li Tai said seriously, "But we have to be careful. The frequent mobilization of troops in Chang'an City these days is a bad omen. I will test Wei Zheng's tone in the evening to see if he knows the content of the letter."

"Wei Zheng?"

Du Chuke asked, "What does your highness mean?"

"If the content of the letter is true, the storm in Chang'an City will definitely be quite large, and we cannot stay out of it and may also encounter trouble.

So, for us, the only way is to mess up the current situation, the more chaotic it is, the better, and Wei Zheng happens to be such a person."

Li Tai said cunningly, "As long as Wei Zheng is here, Changsun Wuji dare not do too arrogant."

"Why does Your Highness believe in Wei Zheng so much?"

Su Xu asked.

"The pitiful person must have something hateful-" Li Tai said lightly, "The pitiful thing about Wei Zheng is that he wants to be a counselor and keep his name in history.

But such a person is the most hateful person in the eyes of powerful officials.

Although Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng have a good relationship in normal times, as long as they involve their own interests, Changsun Wuji is definitely not as kind as they appear.

He is a cunning old fox!”

Su Xu and Du Chuke did not speak, silently digesting Li Tai's words. When they woke up, they found that Li Tai had already left the study.

Li Tai left the study and came to the back garden of the royal palace.

It has already begun winter in Chang'an City. There are a few plum blossoms dotted among the white snow traces in the backyard of the royal palace.

Li Tai stared at the plum blossom quietly and silently.

In fact, he had not finished his guess in his heart in the study.

He knew who sent this letter.

Just judge by the content of this letter, who can do it except King Li Ke of Northern King?

However, this is exactly what Li Tai is most confused about. Li Ke is in the northwest, so how could he send such a letter to himself?

What is his purpose?

Through the contents of the letter, he felt that the journey from northwest to Chang'an was not far, and the time between them was not as good as the number?

Did it be sent by people from the Northern Palace?

This Northern King Li Ke is not in Chang'an City. Who in the Northern King's Mansion has the courage to make this decision?

If this letter really comes from the Northern Palace, then there must be a master in the Northern Palace.

Because that person knows him too well. As long as he knows this letter, he will never stand by and will definitely make a move. This is a naked force to flow into the muddy waters of Chang'an City! Li Tai thought so and walked into the pavilion in the pond in the backyard.

Looking at the frozen pond of the lake, he was stunned and dazed.

After a while, my body suddenly shook and seemed to have thought of something.

"At the beginning-" Li Taisi said, "The third brother returned triumphantly from the northwest, and the whole city of Chang'an was celebrating the victory in the northwest. Only the Northern Prince's Mansion deliberately kept a low profile and seemed quiet and peaceful. Could it be her?"

Li Tai stopped talking.

After a while, he said, "It seems that I still need to go to the Northern King's Mansion. But the third brother is not in the mansion. What kind of reason should I find?"

Li Tai stayed in the pavilion for a long time.

It was not until Su Xu looked for him for a long time and found him in the backyard that he interrupted Li Tai's thoughts.

"Your Highness, I heard that Hou Junji went to meet the prince today!"

Su Xu said.

"What's so surprised when Hou Junji meets the prince?"

Li Tai asked in confusion.

"He did not meet the prince in Liangyi Palace, but in the prince's East Palace."

Su Xu said, "Your Highness, the prince is the governor of the country, and all major affairs in the country can be handled in Liangyi Hall. The prince has always stayed in Liangyi Hall. Why did Hou Junji meet him this time and he wanted to choose the place in the East Palace?"

"What do you mean?"

Li Tai continued to ask.

"Hou Junji is the Minister of War and a powerful general from a military background. In this case, the prince meets him in the East Palace, and there must be an ulterior secret in it!"

Su Xu analyzed.

Li Tai didn't say anything.

After a while, he laughed, "It's interesting! It's really interesting!"

"Your Highness--" Su Xu was puzzled.
