Chapter 723: Inviting Hou Junji

Hou Junji looked at Li Daozong, frowned slightly, and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"

"Don't worry about what I mean, answer me first, can your Majesty still live for twenty years?" Li Daozong asked without answering.

After Hou Junji pondered for a moment, he said: "No disease or disaster, at least twenty years. Now with Li Feng's medical skills, it can be said to be at least thirty years."

"That's right, thirty years. Your Majesty has been in power for thirty years. That is the fortune of the Tang Dynasty, but it is the misfortune of the prince.

Thirty years later, the prince is already in his forties. If His Majesty lives a few more years, wouldn’t the prince be fifty years old?

At that time, instead of talking about the prince, I just talked about you and me, and I am afraid that we are no longer alive." Li Daozong sighed and said.

Hou Junji's heart moved slightly, but he said expressionlessly on his face: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"Junji, I've said it so straightforwardly, don't you still understand?" Li Daozong said.

Hou Junji sneered: "The prince just said a few words about such a big matter, how do you expect me to understand it?"

A smile appeared on Li Daozong's face, and he immediately said: "This is my king's negligence. Please don't be offended by Junji."

"My lord, if you have anything to say, just say it. Why beat around the bush and make people speculate? This is not the way to be a guest." Hou Junji made it clear. If you have something to say, just say it. If nothing happens, just leave.

"Ha ha……"

Li Daozong was not angry, but laughed because he knew that Hou Junji was moved, which meant they could talk.

As long as Hou Junji joins his camp, his goal can be further achieved.

"Quickly, since Junji has said so, I will tell you the truth. I want the prince to ascend the throne and do the trick of following the dragon."

"Um?"

Hou Junji sneered and said: "Come on, can I believe what you say? You have followed His Majesty in the North and South, and you have made countless contributions. You are a very human minister. You said you want to be a slave to the dragon."

, I really don’t know what the prince wants?”

Li Daozong said: "What I want is a real high-ranking minister, not a position that is neither above nor below me. I want the prince to make me King Fusang."

"King Fusang?" Hou Junji looked at Li Daozong in surprise, "You want to become King Fusang. You want to cause a war between the two countries."

"The war between the two countries was not caused by me, but by Li Feng. Have you forgotten Li Feng's layout in Fuso?

At that time, I was not optimistic about him, and even scorned his actions. But things are different now. After I have seen the power of the firearms camp, I can tell you responsibly that occupying Fuso is really easy.

So I need a firearms camp. After the new emperor ascends the throne, he must reward me with the firearms camp. In addition, build a large ship for me to escort the people of the firearms camp to Fusang."

"Actually, as long as you mention this to His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely agree to your request."

"No, Your Majesty favors Li Feng now. If you obey Li Feng's words, it is impossible for us guys to make His Majesty trust us again." When Li Daozong spoke, his expression was very unwilling.

Hou Junji was touched by Li Daozong's words and said: "Yes, your Majesty no longer has us in his eyes. This time he went to the border to attack the Turks without taking you and me with him. It really makes us feel chilled."

"That's right, so this is an opportunity, an opportunity for you and me. After supporting the crown prince to ascend the throne, I will leave Chang'an and go to Fusang Kingdom, and you will stay in Chang'an and continue to support the new emperor.

What's more important is that you will become the head of the country, and your daughter will become the queen. You will become a master who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.

Junji, do you want to cooperate? In the remaining seven days, we will let the prince ascend the throne and become the new emperor?"

Hou Junji was very moved. He was a very ambitious man. He was an unknown soldier at the beginning. Because of his bravery in fighting, he was favored by Li Jing. Li Jing taught him many military skills and even wanted to accept him as his disciple.

However, he was rejected by Hou Junji. He said: If I take Li Jing as my disciple, I will be inferior to Li Jing in whatever I do in the future. This is not what I want.

From then on, everyone knew that Hou Junji was a very ambitious person. So everyone was polite to him on the surface, but in fact they did not regard him as a close friend at all.

However, there is one person who trusts Hou Junji and that is Li Er. He often assigns Hou Junji some dangerous tasks and then gives him promotions. His current achievement is inseparable from his own hard work and Li Er's trust.

of.

The reason why Li Er can trust Hou Junji is because he is confident that he can conquer Hou Junji, and Hou Junji does not dare to betray him.

Hou Junji really did not dare to betray Li Er, because Li Er was really cruel and ruthless. As long as he had the intention of betrayal, he would definitely die miserably and his clan might be exterminated.

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji are the best examples.

However, now that Li Er's life and death are unknown, he can use the name of protecting the prince to ascend the throne to the prince, and then become a leader beneath one person and above ten thousand people.

Under the temptation of power, Hou Junji made up his mind and said: "Your Majesty, I can cooperate with you, but I need to know your plan."

"No problem. I have used Cui Yu to make a deal with the Boling Cui family. They fully support me, and I will hand over the printing press, cement and other formulas of the newspaper office in Li Feng Industry to them.

In addition, Cui Yu will help me attract the attention of the Lantian Marquis Mansion and the imperial court. I have asked Jing Heng to help me hold them back in the Firearms Camp.

We are in the palace now. All the generals are in Chang'an now. If we want to control all the officials in the court, we can only do so in the morning.

So I need the power in the palace, and you are the best choice, because your daughter is the crown princess designated by His Majesty, and therefore you, the father-in-law, cannot run away.

So I don’t have to worry about you suddenly betraying me."

"You are right. I have no reason to betray you at all. Leave the palace to me. Tell me the time now." Hou Junji said.

Li Daozong shook his head and said: "There's no rush, I need to wait until everyone focuses all their attention on Cui Yu and the Lantian Houfu."

"Okay, I'll wait for your notification."

"good."

Later, Li Daozong left the Hou Mansion.

Hou Junji felt very heavy at this time. He felt that he had jumped into a pit of fire, but he thought a lot and finally found nothing wrong.

At this moment, a letter completely panicked Hou Junji.

Someone wants to kill the prince.

"Who sent the letter?" Hou Junji asked in a deep voice.

"It was sent by an official," the servant responded.

"Where are the people?"

"Go back and return to their master."

"Please inform me and treat this matter as if nothing happened."

"Yes, sir."
