Chapter 1665 Li Shimin’s son is indeed the same as him... (Please subscribe and vote)
Hou Junji stood outside the side door of Chen Guogong's mansion, watching Jiang Yaqing disappear into the dark alley in a light car.
Stroking his long beard, he stared at the deserted dark alley and pondered silently.
Hou Tao and Hou Lue stood aside, waiting quietly.
On the other hand, the housekeeper Hou Zhi frowned tightly and whispered.
"Master, if you write a personal letter to His Highness the King of Wei, isn't this leaving evidence in case..."
"Nothing is wrong. His Royal Highness the King of Wei dares to hand over the handwritten letter with the seal to Jiang Yaqing in my hands. This is to show his sincerity to me."
"If the King of Wei has such courage, Hou Mou will accompany him to play a game."
The last sentence was spoken in a low voice, but the deep-seated hatred and murderous intent in his tone made all the confidants present feel a chill in their hearts.
Hou Junji said with a strange smile on his face.
"Back then, Li Shimin not only killed his brothers, but also threatened His Majesty with troops, and finally ascended to Dabao."
"His son is really just like him..."
"But sir, your Majesty still held military power back then, but His Highness the King of Wei is different. He is just a..."
"So what?" Hou Junji smiled and said sadly. "I was by his side back then, giving him heart-breaking advice."
"I remember exactly what Li Shimin did back then. I can vividly remember it."
"He, the King of Wei, is also a direct descendant, and he is quite prestigious in the court. He is also talented and famous."
"If the prince dies, and Li Shimin, in order to stabilize people's hearts, does not regard King Li Tai of Wei as the prince, is it possible that he will look for the unknown Ninth Prince?"
After hearing what Hou Junji said, the housekeepers Hou Zhi, Hou Tao, and brothers Hou Lue, knowing that their master had made up his mind, looked at each other and fell to the ground together.
"What you said is absolutely true. Since you want to do this, our lives have long been yours. We are willing to die for you."
"Okay, okay, get up quickly. I naturally know your loyalty.
Although we are master and servant in name, in Hou Mou’s heart, he has long regarded you as brothers who depend on each other for life and death..."
"Hou may even hide his actions from his family members, but he certainly won't hide it from you guys."
"Master..." Upon hearing this, the eyes of the three of them immediately turned red, and they fell to the ground with choked words, unable to raise their heads for a long time.

Li Tai looked at this handwritten reply from Chen Guogong, read it carefully several times, then folded the letter and put it in his arms.
A relieved smile finally appeared on his face, and he nodded slightly towards Jiang Yaqing in front of him.
"You are indeed a very resourceful General Hou. Thanks to you sir, I have General Hou coming to help me, so everything is settled."
"I congratulate my lord and congratulate you. General Hou told me that he wants to stay in Chang'an on the pretext of recuperating from illness."
"For the reason of recovering from illness, I remember that my father is not planning to let him serve as the left guard. If he can control an army, wouldn't he..."
"My lord, may I have forgotten that your Majesty is going to patrol eastward to supply food to Luoyang. I am afraid that very few of you in Chang'an will be able to stay."
"If by any chance, Chen Guogong is also on the eastward patrol, wouldn't it be a big deal?"
"So Chen Guogong's intention is to stay in Chang'an on the grounds that his old injury has recurred."
"Given his reputation and status in the army, His Majesty must have given some consideration and might let him lead the army to guard Chang'an.
At worst, we will allow him to stay in Chang'an to recuperate."
"And Chen Guogong has been commanding the army for many years, and among all the guards, there are old troops. As long as he stays in Chang'an, he will have operational opportunities..."
"What's more, Helan Qianniu holds an important position among the ten leaders of the East Palace. If Chen Guogong is not here, how can we give orders?"
Listening to Jiang Yaqing's well-founded analysis and explanation, Wei King Li Tai, who was a complete idiot when it came to military affairs, suddenly realized.
"I see. It seems that I almost misunderstood Mr. Chen Guogong. Sir... how are our people prepared?"
"Please rest assured, my lord, we have recruited nearly a hundred desperadoes, and in addition, there are dozens of dead soldiers who are loyal to His Highness."
"Everything is ready. We are just waiting for His Majesty's eastward patrol and the army to arrive in Luoyang. Then we will try to find an opportunity..."
Jiang Yaqing's voice lowered, and she whispered in Wei Wang Li Tai's ear.
In the dark night, the lights illuminated this fat and thin figure, and they were projected on the window lattice, like Fat Tiger and Xiao Fu. Their projections swayed with the lights, as distorted as monsters.

Helan Chushi, the general led by Zuo Nei of the East Palace, finally finished a hard day's work and left the East Palace.
However, as soon as they arrived outside the east palace gate, they met a servant who came to report that the father-in-law and mother-in-law missed their daughter.
I have already taken my wife to Chen Guogong's Mansion, and specially asked him to come over to inform Helan Chushi that after I was off duty, I would also go to Chen Guogong's Mansion.
When Helan Chushi heard that it was his father-in-law's call, he naturally did not dare to neglect it and immediately turned his horse and headed towards Chen Guogong's mansion.
I rushed to Chen Guogong's mansion and met with several brothers-in-law. Naturally, I also went to visit my mother-in-law and father-in-law.
Hou Junji looked at the strong and heroic Helan Chushi with a smile, and was very satisfied with this good son-in-law.
He was very kind to his daughter, and the relationship between the couple was excellent. They had only been married for three years, and they had already given birth to a baby. Now the daughter is pregnant again.
I am afraid that I will be able to give myself another grandson by the end of the year.
The end of the year...Hou Junji patted the desk with his big hand. The end of the year has been too long. Now, what we need is to seize the day.
"Xian son-in-law, what do you think of His Highness while you stay in the East Palace?"
In the garden of Duke Chen's mansion, Hou Junji took long strides and walked slowly side by side with his beloved son-in-law, Helan Chushi.
Hearing his father-in-law's question, Helan Chushi answered respectfully without doubting his presence.
"His Royal Highness the Prince is honest and tolerant, and has the style of a benevolent king."
Hearing these words, Hou Junji chuckled, stroking his long beard, and said meaningfully.
"Honest and tolerant...If that's the case, why do you hear that His Highness the Crown Prince has a bad relationship with His Highness the King of Wei?"
"Is it possible that kindness and tolerance are just superficial?"
"???" The smile on Helan Chushi's face froze, and he raised his head in confusion, looking at his father-in-law, who was a famous general of the Tang Dynasty.
I always feel that there is something in my father-in-law's words, and he seems to have a lot of resentment towards His Royal Highness.
At this moment, Hou Junji suddenly heard a dry cough, and Helan Chushi quickly gave his father-in-law a gentle pat on the back.
After thinking about it for a while, he opened his mouth and said comfortingly. "My father-in-law, my son-in-law heard that you have already asked His Majesty to rest for a while."
"Your Majesty's behavior is really not appropriate. My father-in-law has resentment in his heart. My son-in-law can understand it, but my father-in-law..."
