After dividing the stolen money from reselling water and sea transportation tickets, Li Yuanji didn't keep Li Xiaogong and Su Dingfang any longer and let them leave directly.
Not long after they left the palace, Xie Shufang and other former members of Prince Qi's palace received a huge sum of money from unknown sources.
】
Xie Shufang and others thought about it for a while and understood the origin of this huge sum of money, and then they worked even harder on the matter.
Hou Junji, who had been mingling with the old circle of Prince Qi's family, was even more jealous.
He also ran more frequently to the palace.
"Tell me about you, a prince of the Tang Dynasty. You come here to polish ink for me all day long. If others know about it, you still think that I, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, are not valuable."
Inside the Tai Chi Hall.
After Li Yuanji wrote and commented on the memorial to expand the official roads in various places in Daizhou, which was requested by Xue Shou and others, he looked at Hou Junji who was grinding next to him with a look of helplessness on his face.
Hou Junji is a big and small figure in history, and he was able to resist the rebellion of Li Shimin, the King of Kings.
Such a figure, standing bent over like a dog-legged person in front of the royal eucalyptus, sharpening ink, really makes people feel helpless.
When Hou Junji heard this, he not only did not stop sharpening the ink, but instead sharpened it even more vigorously. While sharpening, he said with a flattering smile: "Compared with Your Highness, this prince of the country is nothing.
It is an honor for me to polish ink for His Highness. If others know about it, they will only be envious, but they will not make irresponsible remarks."
Good guy, you can lick better than Yu Wenbao.
You are a prince, a figure who almost sent Li Shimin away in history. Is it really appropriate to lick you like this?
Li Yuanji held the pen and looked at Hou Junji, not knowing what to say.
"Bah! Shameless!"
Xiao Yu, who was sitting downstairs and was handling official duties, heard Hou Junji's words and almost spat out his last night's meal. He spat and cursed in a low voice.
Although the sound was very low, everyone in the hall heard it.
This is Xiao Yu.
If this were Li Gang, he would probably point at Hou Junji's nose and yell at him in public.
Li Gang will not show shame to any flatterers, nor will he give any flatterers the chance to continue to disgust people.
When Hou Junji heard Xiao Yu's words, his face twitched slightly, but he didn't have much reaction.
Although his ability to flatter someone is still far from the level of flattery, but as long as he continues to flatter him, it won't be long before he reaches the point of flattery.
But Li Yuanji didn't want Hou Junji to become such a person.
Hou Junji was also a general who left a mark in history. He could be killed, but he could not be humiliated, and he could not be turned into a flatterer.
"Junji, do you know why I left so many generals under my second brother unused when I was fighting against the Turks, and I thought of you first?"
Li Yuanji put down the pen in his hand and stared at Hou Junji and asked.
Hou Junji was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to speak.
He can't say it's because he is stronger than the other generals in Prince Qin's palace, right?
He is not that shameless.
In terms of qualifications, ability and past achievements, he is far from the opponent of the older generation such as Qu Tutong, Liu Hongji, Huang Junhan and others.
In terms of strategy and martial arts, he is no match for the new generation of Changsun Wuji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others.
He is only a little better than people like Niu Jinda, Wu Heita, Zhang Shigui and so on.
In terms of credit, he does not have as much credit as Niu Jinda, Wu Heita, Zhang Shigui and others.
Therefore, he is not the most outstanding person in the Qin Palace.
Whether Li Yuanji wants to be recruited or reused, it is not his turn.
So why did Li Yuanji single out his general? He couldn't give an answer.
When Li Yuanji saw that Hou Junji was silent, he continued: "Because among all the people in my second brother's house, I am the most optimistic about you. I believe you are capable and I believe you can build a supreme empire for me in the Tang Dynasty."
My achievements were due to bad luck and I was unable to gain more military achievements while my second brother was fighting in the north and south.
But as long as you are given a chance, you will surely shine.
That's why I chose you and gave you a chance."
Hou Junji suddenly raised his head and stared at Li Yuanji in astonishment.
He couldn't believe what Li Yuanji said.
Li Yuanji continued: "I think so highly of you, you should work harder to show me your value, instead of being my attendant here and riding the horse for me."
Hou Junji opened his mouth and lowered his head unnaturally.
Li Yuanji sighed and said: "I believe you hope to make achievements in your heart. There is no need for you to humiliate yourself like this. From now on, you can train soldiers for the Tang Dynasty and make achievements."
Hou Junji raised his head anxiously.
It's okay to make contributions, but you must first include me in your confidant system.
Otherwise, I always feel like I'm separated from you by a layer, and it's not fun to eat.
"Ask your wife to prepare more dowry. When your eldest daughter turns eighteen, send her to Wude Palace to be Chengyu's companion."
Li Yuanji sighed helplessly.
I'm sorry, son, I decided to marry you without your consent.
I'm sorry, nephew, I stole your wife.
Historically, Hou Junji's daughter married Li Chengqian, the then crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and became the crown princess.
This is also the main reason why Hou Jun later rebelled.
His daughter is the crown prince, and he is the prince's father-in-law. If Li Shimin is sent away, Li Chengqian will naturally become the emperor, his daughter will naturally be promoted to the queen, and he will naturally be promoted to the head of state and become the king's father-in-law.
The existence of overwhelming power.
Now that he has betrothed his daughter to Li Chengyu, he has robbed Li Chengqian of his wife. Naturally, he has to say sorry to Li Chengqian.
When Hou Junji heard this, he was overjoyed. He quickly walked to the palace, knelt down, and kowtowed: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness... Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness..."
Hou Junji is now just a prince, his status is not as high as in history, nor is he as powerful as in history.
Therefore, letting his daughter be the princess of the county is considered a great gift.
It is also a signal to accept him as a confidant.
Of course he was happy, of course he was excited.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Okay, stop being a kowtowing bug here and get off quickly."
Li Yuanji waved his hand, signaling Hou Junji to leave quickly.
Hou Junji had already got what he wanted, so naturally he didn't need to stay any longer in the Tai Chi Hall. He immediately kowtowed again and quickly exited the Tai Chi Hall.
As soon as Hou Junji left, Xiao Yu couldn't help but said: "Hou Junji took advantage of him. It seems that His Highness is very fond of this?"
Which one?
Is this a stalkerish thing?
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Xiao Yu speechlessly, and said angrily: "Everyone knows that your Xiao family produces beauties. If you have this idea, you can send the young girl to the palace, and I will ask her to be a side chamber for my elder brother.
"
It is a well-known fact in the Tang Dynasty that the Xiao family produced beauties.
Because Xiao's genes are good, and Xiao's family was once a royal family, after absorbing many excellent genes, their genes are even better.
Therefore, the appearance of a most beautiful woman like Empress Xiao of the former Sui Dynasty made several emperors salivate.
In addition, the other women of the Xiao family are not bad either, all of them are beautiful and charming.
Therefore, there was a concubine from the Xiao family in Li Yuan Palace, and there was also a concubine in Li Jiancheng Palace, not to mention the pervert Li Shimin.
That is to say, Queen Xiao is already old, otherwise she would definitely have achieved what Wu Zetian achieved ahead of time.
The father-in-law is a husband, and the son is also a husband.
When Xiao Yu heard this, his expression suddenly froze, and his whole body was full of rejection.
Everyone knows that Li Jiancheng has become a puppet now. Even if he ascends to the throne in the future, he will still be a puppet emperor.
Although the Xiao family has beautiful women, they are not rich enough to send them out to accompany others as vases.
If Li Yuanji was asking for it for himself or for his son, then he would definitely agree.
But Li Yuanji was begging for his brother.
Then I can't agree to anything.
"Your Highness is joking. Although my Xiao family has many girls, those who are suitable for marriage have already been engaged. I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy this generous gift from Your Highness."
Xiao Yu said dryly.
Li Yuanji knew clearly that Xiao Yu was telling lies, but he still pretended to believe it, and said cooperatively: "That's such a pity..."
Xiao Yu quickly nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, it's a pity."
At this time, Zhao Chengyong suddenly rushed into the palace and reported: "Your Highness, the Minister of Honglu Temple wants to see you..."
Li Yuanji's expression changed slightly and he said: "Please quickly!"
Not long after, the Minister of Honglu Temple arrived at the Taiji Hall. After bowing and saluting, he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, just now a messenger came from the Turks, saying that they wanted to discuss with Your Highness the exchange of their Kehe Dun and Little Khan.
Matters…”
Li Yuanji raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Yu's expression also changed slightly.
"Okay, okay, Jie Li really dares to repeat his old trick and seize my envoys from the Tang Dynasty and use them in exchange for us."
Li Yuanji was so angry that he laughed instead.
Although everything was as he expected, when it really happened, he still felt very angry.
When is it now, when the Tang Dynasty reigns supreme, when the light of the Tang Dynasty shines all over the world?
As a neighbor of the Tang Dynasty, if you don't make peace with the Tang Dynasty, you can just be a bully of the Tang Dynasty. You actually dare to break the diplomatic rules and provoke the Tang Dynasty.
Who is so familiar that I can’t bear it!
"Go and tell the Turks that the Tang Dynasty does not accept exchange, only redemption!"
Li Yuanji said with a ferocious smile.
The minister of Honglu Temple looked astonished.
After the envoys of the Tang Dynasty were detained, wouldn't it be customary to first detain the other party's envoys and then teach them how to behave through war?
When did the redemption start?
"What are you doing standing still? Why don't you go quickly?!"
Li Yuanji scolded.
The minister of Honglu Temple hurriedly agreed and quickly ran out of the Taiji Hall to negotiate with the Turks. Not long after, he returned to the Taiji Hall and brought the latest news.
"Your Highness, the people from the Turks said that their khan did not agree with your redemption of Tang Jian and others. However, they also said that you can give them some goods so that they can make Tang Jian and others live a better life in the Turks."
The minister of Honglu Temple said with a strange expression.
Abnormal, really abnormal.
This time, both the Turks and Li Yuanji behaved extremely abnormally.
Uncharacteristically, the Turks came to seek benefits, and Li Yuanji uncharacteristically wanted to redeem Tang Jian and others from the Turks.
He always felt that there was something he didn't know about here, but if Li Yuanji didn't tell him, he couldn't ask.
