"Yes..." Li Tai came back to his senses and said, "This is a strategy that this king came up with himself."
A trace of disdain flashed in Han Wen's eyes, Li Tai's hands were high and his eyes were low, how could he come up with such a scheme?
"Your Highness is resourceful and admirable, I will arrange it right away," Han Wen said.
"Then sir, hurry up, the king is waiting for the good news from the court tomorrow." Li Tai smiled.
"Don't worry, Your Highness."
After Han Wen withdrew, he asked someone to prepare a carriage and came to Cui's house.
"What happened?" Cui Hao asked.
In order to conceal, there are usually no major events, and people are sent secretly to send messages. Now that Han Wen is here, something major must have happened.
"My lord, something serious happened." Han Wen quickly told Cui Hao that there was another expert behind Li Tai.
"What? Is it someone from other families?" Cui Hao asked.
Han Wen shook his head and said, "My lord, I have considered this matter and it should be impossible. If it is someone from other factions, there should be no need for Li Tai to hide it."
Distraught, Cui Hao paced back and forth in the room for a long time, and asked, "Is there any outsider in contact with Li Tai during this time?"
"There's nothing unusual about this period of time." Han Wen frowned and said in thought, "Li Tai still came into contact with those people before."
"Is there nothing unusual? Or people who used to come and go infrequently now suddenly come and go frequently." Cui Hao reminded.
Han Wen's eyes lit up, and he said: "Hou De, Hou De, the eldest son of Hou Junji, has been to Furong Garden quite frequently recently. It's just that Hou De is just a playboy, so he shouldn't be so scheming."
"He didn't, but Hou Junji did."
Cui Hao sneered and said, "The old man underestimated Hou Junji. The old man always thought that Hou Junji was just a pawn to be manipulated by others. Now it seems that he is not willing to be a pawn."
"My lord, what should we do now?" Han Wen asked.
Cui Hao sneered and said, "The chess pieces naturally don't want to be chess pieces, but it doesn't matter. A chess piece will always be a chess piece and cannot jump out of the chessboard."
"But this time is indeed an opportunity, as long as His Majesty can reprimand the prince a few words, it will be even better if the prince is punished."
"Then what about Hou Junji? Just put up with him conspiring with Li Tai like this? Li Tai even kept it from me this time, and it seems that he intends to get out of control." Han Wen said.
He is not only Li Tai's counselor, but also sent by the aristocratic family to connect Li Tai and the aristocratic family.
Cui Hao said: "You don't have to worry about Hou Junji, I will beat him and make him feel at ease as his pawn. You go back and tell Li Tai that someone will impeach the prince tomorrow, so he can rest assured."
"My lord, do you want to knock on Li Tai's side?" Han Wen asked.
Cui Hao smiled and said, "No need, the more restless he is, the better."
What the aristocratic family wants is for Li Tai to be restless, and the more restless Li Tai is, the more he needs to rely on the aristocratic family.
……
"Lord Cui is a rare visitor, please come inside." Hou Junji said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, don't blame the old man for coming uninvited." Cui Hao said.
"how could be."
Hou Junji welcomed Cui Hao to the hall, the maid brought tea, Hou Junji sent all the servants away, and asked, "I wonder if Master Cui is here?"
"Duke Lu really doesn't know the purpose of this old man's visit?" Cui Haopi said with a half-smile.
Hou Junji laughed, and said, "It seems that Master Cui already knows."
He didn't think he could hide it from his aristocratic family, so he didn't care that Cui Hao knew about it.
"Should Lu Guogong give this old man an explanation? Back then, Lu Guogong promised to support the King of Wei with our family, but now he advises the King of Wei without telling us. Could it be that he wants to abandon us?" Cui Hao asked.
Hou Junji smiled faintly, and said: "Lord Cui was joking, I have no power or power now, but I just have a title for nothing."
"You did it because we didn't speak for you?" Cui Hao suddenly asked.
"That's right. At the beginning, you promised me to push me when the time is right. I risked my life to send an envoy to the Turks. Now His Majesty wants to send an army to the border. Your family promised to help, but you didn't say a word." Hou Jun Set coldly.
Cui Hao said with a sullen face: "Mr. Lu, you need to find out the situation. His Majesty sent troops to the border. It was directly ordered. It was not brought to the court for discussion. How can you ask us to help you?"
"With the influence of the aristocratic family, if you really want to help, how can you not have a chance?" Hou Junji sneered.
"You..." Cui Hao said angrily, angrily, "Are you trying to expose the connection between us?"
If the court discusses matters, it's okay for them to help Hou Junji.
About sending troops, Li Shimin didn't bring it up to the court to talk about it. If they rushed to find Li Shimin to tell Hou Junji to send, all fools would know there was a problem.
Hou Junji naturally knew this, but he risked his life to go out to the grassland, if he hadn't been cautious, he almost wouldn't be able to come back.
When he came back, he got a few words of praise from Li Shimin, without any other practical benefits, how could he not hate it.
This time he devoted himself to helping Li Tai plan, on the one hand, because he hated Li Shimin, on the other hand, let the aristocratic family see his ability, so don't treat him as a fool.
Cui Hao took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "Mr. Lu, this time we are only sending a small group of troops. Waiting for the war between Western Turks and Xue Yantuo is your chance."
"Okay, if you still can't help me this time, then don't blame me." Hou Junji said.
"Don't worry, but during this period, I hope you will be more honest." Cui Hao said coldly.
……
When Lin Xuan returned home, he realized that he had forgotten the main purpose of entering the palace, so he turned around and came to the palace again.
"Why are you back?" Li Shimin asked strangely.
"Return to Your Majesty, the minister is entrusted by the soldiers, please give me the battalion number." Lin Xuan said.
"Heh~, it's just a partial army, and it's not a small heart to want a battalion number." Li Shimin chuckled lightly.
"Your Majesty, the strength of the army does not depend entirely on the number of people, does it?" Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Li Shimin was slightly taken aback: "You are very confident."
"The army trained by the minister is naturally confident."
Let's not talk about myself first, both Xue Rengui and Xi Junmai are famous generals in history.
Although Cheng Chumo, Wei Chi Baolin and the others are not as good as Xue Rengui and Xi Junmai, they are not mediocre either.
Li Shimin pondered for a while, and said: "I bestowed the battalion number: Valiant Guard, you are the Valiant General. I hope you will not disappoint the word Valiant."
The brave General Wei sounds tall and tall, but in fact, General XX was worthless at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty.
First, there are twelve guards in Chang'an, and there are twelve generals.
In addition, there are many other generals who have been linked to a certain general, but have no real power, such as Jieli Khan.
"Your Majesty, how high is this minister?" Lin Xuan asked curiously.
Li Shimin raised his brows and said, "It's the fourth grade. Don't you like being an official? Don't you think it's too young now?"
"It's not too small. Although I don't like to be an official, but now that I'm one, the bigger the better, and I'll save face if I say it." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Rank four martial arts is not too small, and Cheng Yaojin and the others are only rank three.
"I'm ugly to say before, this time the Valiant Guards can't meet my requirements, not only will I cancel the battalion number, but I will also dismiss the Valiant Guards." Li Shimin said seriously.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will not disappoint Your Majesty."
"Then I will wait and see."
