Some people are afraid of Hou Junji and some are not. Now it's hard for Xu Yunyan to say how to deal with him. Not only is Li Jing in the middle, but also Li Shimin.
After Hou Junji came to see Xu Yunyan, he did not put on the airs of a general or show any happy or unhappy expressions on his face. Instead, he started talking directly here.
"An emergency happened last night, and His Majesty has assigned a special person to be responsible for a thorough investigation. However, in order to prevent Junior Brother from being involved in this incident in Chang'an and affecting the salt affairs, His Majesty arranged for Junior Brother to return early.
The order was sent to the Zuowei Army Camp. Since my junior brother is not here as my senior brother, I have to first comply with the order for my junior brother, and then the reward will be given.
The Zhechongfu soldiers you brought to escort Haiyan this morning have returned the same way. Unfortunately, the time was too short and they did not get the essence of the Yuanyang Formation.
However, Your Majesty has your destiny, and I have no way of keeping my junior brother here for a long time. I have come up with such a trick, and I hope my junior brother will forgive me. "
So that's what happened.
Knowing what Hou Junji did, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, senior brother."
Although Li Jing did not want to recognize this senior brother by himself, Hou Junji had done all this for himself and could not lose his face in such a scene.
Xu Yunyan bowed to Hou Junji, and then said, "As for the Yuanyang Formation, senior brother, there is no need to worry. I will write down the Yuanyang Formation when I have time along the way and send it to senior brother through the inn. What do you think, senior brother?" "
Hearing what Xu Yunyan said, Hou Junji hurriedly said hello several times, and then waved his hand and asked the soldiers behind him to hand over Xu Yunyan's horses to Xu Yunyan.
There are also a few guards behind him who are obviously Zhechong Mansion soldiers brought by Xu Yunyan to stay here, guarding a carriage. On top of the carriage are the large and small bags that Hou Junji brought with him when he came.
After the handover, Xu Yunyan hugged Hou Junji again and said, "Thank you, senior brother. That junior brother will leave now."
Hou Junji nodded, "Let's go. Chang'an is indeed a place of right and wrong. No matter what happens in the future, junior brother must disobey His Majesty."
Hou Junji suddenly said this for no reason, as if he knew what happened last night. Xu Yunyan scratched his head curiously.
But still facing Hou
Jun Ji cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, senior brother, for your teaching. Now, junior brother, I will leave."
After saying that, Xu Yunyan got on his horse and headed back with the soldiers from Zhechong Mansion. The car had just gone a few steps.
One of the soldiers stepped forward and said to Xu Yunyan, "Sir, while you are away, the brigade marshals of the team have agreed to go out and camp thirty miles away from Chang'an to wait for you."
Zhengchou was worried that there was no large army, so there was an opportunity. Xu Yunyan nodded, "Okay, let's hurry up and get to the camp first to meet up."
But when they rushed to meet at the bottom of the camp, they didn't notice Hou Junji muttering something as he watched his back walking further and further away.
"Junior brother, junior brother, you have now made it clear that you only listen to His Majesty and will not get involved in the disputes between the two parties. But how can the position you are talking about now be safe and sound? I did not expect that someone would target you like this last night. Being a senior brother can only help you so far."
Xu Yunyan escaped from Chang'an City with one move, as if he had been freed from everything, and transformed into a free seagull soaring in the sky.
Xu Yunyan and his guards hurried slowly, and finally arrived at the place where the Zhechongfu soldiers temporarily camped waiting for him by nightfall. After Xu Yunyan and Zhechongfu soldiers reunited, he felt a sense of security.
However, when Xu Yunyan was resting in the camp and preparing to set off tomorrow, things were changing in Chang'an City. Li Yuan was issuing orders one after another, whether it was the prince, the King of Qin, or others. None of the princes, generals or ministers are safe.
In the East Palace, seeing that Li Yuan issued many orders to his own faction, the prince's party, under Li Yuan's order, were either transferred from their main posts, or arranged to be deputy positions and handed over the real power of this faction to Li Shimin. The prince Here he smashed everything that could be smashed in the prince's mansion.
In the palace of Qin King Li Shimin, Li Shimin was still not very happy even though some of his cronies were in charge of some power departments.
Just because there was a slight conflict between Zhang Gongjin and the murdered censor, Li Yuan directly recruited Zhang Gongjin back from Luoyang. The Luoyang garrison was completely replaced by Li Yuan's men, causing the base camp he had run for several years to fall apart in an instant.
Although other places in the imperial court gained some advantages,
But it was not enough to make up for the serious military restrictions he was severely restricted by Li Yuan.
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more unfavorable to him, Li Shimin summoned all his think tanks to discuss how to recover his losses. In the East Palace, Li Jiancheng also used the same method to worry about his cronies here to study the situation. How to secure your position as prince.
While these two parties were studying countermeasures here, Li Yuan was very dissatisfied with the content of the situation investigation in front of him.
"Is this how you fooled me? The imperial censor was killed, and you couldn't find out any information? How could someone be so powerful?"
The more Li Yuan talked, the angrier he became, and he started talking directly here.
"You can't do anything well. You can't find out that there is such a powerful force in Chang'an. What use do I need from you? Are you still here when these people put the knife on their necks? Please forgive me?"
Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, Li Yuan kept yelling and cursing, while Pei Ji beside him sighed and took a step forward.
"No one has thought of this matter of your majesty, and if he dares to do it openly, he must have sufficient evidence and will not be found in trouble by your majesty. Even if your majesty knows about Zhu Sima's traces, he will not be able to target him. , the top priority is to change the guards of the capital, especially Xuanwu Gate. It is too close to this palace gate and should be guarded by trusted generals.
As for the soldiers, General Li has always been neutral. The thousand soldiers he brought back, who have been trained continuously and have been reborn, can guard Xuanwu Gate. What do you think, Your Majesty? "
Ji Yuan heard what Pei Ji said and nodded, "Okay, okay, but there are such brave and skilled soldiers but no general in command dares to let him guard with confidence. What can I do? Do we want to recall Xu Yunyan who trained them? This Can Xu Yunyan really be trusted?"
But just after Li Yuan finished speaking, Pei Ji laughed, "Your Majesty does not use suspicious people when employing people. How about waiting until Xu Yunyan has arranged all the tasks for transporting salt and iron before transferring him to the capital?"
"Green Gourd Sword Fairy"
What's more, during this period of time, Xu Yunyan was in such an important position. Isn't it obvious who he was leaning towards?
If he falls to one side, we will just deal with him. If he is loyal to his duty, isn't he the best general to guard Xuanwu Gate? "
