After Xu Yunyan finished the prince's wedding in the prince's east palace, he walked out of the east palace.
Instead of chatting with those familiar people about some random things and watching them walking towards the distance in small groups, he quickly avoided them and walked into a group that had passed by before. alley.
Just walking aimlessly like this, when I looked up again after wandering for a while, I saw Hou Jun gathered in the mansion in front of me, and I couldn't help but sigh.
"Why did I come here? I just happened to go to see how my senior brother is doing. His only daughter got married, and he can't go to the banquet because of his in-laws, so I might as well go and see him."
Xu Yunyan said this and walked directly towards the Hou Mansion. However, the people guarding the gate of the Hou Mansion were different from the usual ones today. They didn't know where they were. Maybe Hou Junji took them to eat and drink.
Looking at the closed door, Xu Yunyan pushed it gently with his hand, and with a squeak, the door opened.
It turned out that the soldiers had been arranged by Hou Junji to eat, drink and rest, and he himself was in the courtyard, reading a book next to a stone platform below the courtyard.
Looking at Hou Junji who was swaying in the weak candlelight as the breeze shook the flames, Xu Yunyan shouted in a depressed mood.
"Senior brother."
As soon as Hou Junji heard someone calling him, he put down the book in his hand, turned around and saw that it was Xu Yunyan, and stood up immediately.
The originally majestic face was now full of exhaustion and fatigue, but he still looked at Xu Yunyan's bright smile.
"Junior brother? I didn't expect you to come."
Xu Yunyan looked at him, "I didn't expect that senior brother would send all the guards to celebrate, but I am so depressed here."
When Hou Junji heard what Xu Yunyan said, he smiled calmly again.
"What's the point? My daughter marrying into the East Palace is her blessing, and it's also the blessing of my Hou family. My Hou family has nothing to say for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, right?"
After Hou Junji made this half-joking remark, Xu Yunyan gave a thumbs up.
"Senior brother really dedicated his life to the Tang Dynasty and died."
But right after I said that, I was bah bah bah here.
"Look at what junior brother said just now, how can we just die and die? We have to make persistent efforts and make new achievements."
When Hou Junji saw what he said, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but laugh, but the smile was still not so natural.
"yes."
But as soon as Xu Yunyan sighed with emotion, Hou Junji said it here.
"Actually, senior brother is still a little worried."
"Senior brother, it doesn't matter. There are only two of us here now. What comes out of senior brother's ears and into junior brother's mouth? No, look at it. It's the first thing that comes out of senior brother's mouth and into junior brother's ears. It will never be heard by a third person. If it were me, I would be responsible for silencing him."
Xu Yunyan said this very calmly, Hou Junji looked at him, "Hey, when did you become so naughty?"
"Hey? How could I be naughty? Isn't today a happy day?"
After Xu Yunyan's half-joking remark, he looked at Hou Junji and continued talking here.
"Senior brother, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and it will be straight when the boat reaches the bridge. If you have anything to say, just say it and let me help you discuss it. As long as it is useful to me, I will go up the mountain of swords and go down the sea of fire without hesitation. "
Hou Junji looked at Xu Yunyan's expression and put down the book in his hand.
"Junior brother, let's go to the hall and talk. It's not easy to talk outside, but we don't dare to freeze our bodies."
Xu Yunyan finally nodded, "Everything depends on senior brother."
The two came to Hou Junji's study. After Hou Junji motioned Xu Yunyan to sit down, he didn't pour him water, let alone make tea. However, Xu Yunyan thought that things were normal. Hou Junji was strict with himself, and there was no such thing. For any other special hobbies, it would be nice to have a bowl of water.
After the two of them were done, Hou Junji started talking here.
"I am worried that His Highness the Crown Prince's position is unstable."
"how come?"
Is Xu Yunyan surprised?
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the support of all the generals in the army. Is there anyone who can rebel against His Highness the Crown Prince? As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not make any big mistakes, your Majesty will not make things difficult for him. What's more, we all know everything about His Highness the Crown Prince. Yes, I absolutely don’t believe that he would do something like Xuanwu Sect.”
When Xu Yunyan said this, Hou Junji smiled sadly.
"I don't believe that something like this will happen, but the emperor's family has been the most ruthless since ancient times. I don't want to be like this, but what about the others?"
After Hou Junji finished speaking, he looked at Xu Yunyan, but Xu Yunyan smiled.
"Senior brother, my good senior brother, have you forgotten? No matter how ruthless our majesty is, he doesn't pursue those of me who are related to the prince too much. We are so happy that we are willing to spare no effort to serve your majesty. Serve.”
When Xu Yunyan said this, Hou Junji nodded.
"I know what you have done, and His Majesty is also kind. I believe he will not do anything outrageous."
Xu Yunyan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty will never do anything unfair. So what are you still worried about, senior brother? Could it be that other princes and grandsons can do it? If nothing else, the most competitive person now is the second prince Li Tai. What do you think of Li Tai? How many people are there supporting him? It's a little early for us to say that."
Xu Yunyan expressed to Hou Junji that it was too early to choose to support them and oppose other princes and grandsons, and Hou Junji laughed again.
"Junior brother still takes things for granted. The palace is not as simple as we have seen. Junior brother may not know."
Hou Junji whispered here again about some things in the royal family.
"This Li Tai is very favored by the emperor of the day, not to mention the fourth prince Li Ke. The emperor said that he is the most like him, and he has the blood of the previous royal family."
As soon as Hou Junji said this, Xu Yunyan immediately began to enlighten.
"So what? Even if he has the blood of the royal family in his previous life and has a noble status, he is even less likely to be a threat to His Royal Highness. We regard these remnants of the previous dynasty as savage beasts. We will kill every one we find. You still have to let Are the remnants of the previous dynasty showing up to support him again? Why, aren’t many things happening in Chang’an caused by these remnants of the previous dynasty?”
When Xu Yunyan said this, Hou Junji actually laughed.
"We are not targeting him, we are just being careful."
Hou Junji was still a little worried, but compared to Xu Yunyan, he sneered.
"Isn't this difficult to handle? General Hou, you have to live a long life. When will you be able to reach the position of master? Do you still need to worry? What's more, you are young and powerful. Although the general in the capital looks friendly on the surface, You have a lot of disagreements, but what’s the actual situation?”
Xu Yunyan didn't say it clearly, and Hou Junji also knew what he was talking about, so he laughed randomly.
"Junior brother is right, but you have clarified my doubts. Yes, as long as I live, that's fine, not to mention you."
Hou Junji looked away, and Xu Yunyan said with a smile.
"Isn't that what it is?"
"Okay, I will be good, and you, you must be good too."
After Hou Junji finished speaking, Xu Yunyan said happily here.
“There are a few among the generals who will never get involved in these things, plus there are many children of the generals.
Yuchi Baolin, Qin Huaiyu, and Cheng Chumo are all the ones who obey the orders of His Majesty the Crown Prince. In addition, the uncle-in-law Changsun Wuji, Li Daozong, and Li Shentong's children, do you think if His Majesty the Crown Prince is really killed? well.
Just kidding, it's just a hypothesis. If the prince is deposed, when we are a little older and these children take charge, the energy gathered by these people will be incredible. "
Xu Yunyan said this based on the historical situation. When Li Chengqian was confused and made trouble, he was deposed as a commoner. These children really raised an army to uphold justice for him and make him ascend the throne as emperor.
With the support of many generals and commanders, it goes without saying that Li Chengqian's throne is stable.
After Xu Yunyan's half-joking words, Hou Junji also put down the book in his hand.
"I will remember what you said today. If you refuse if there is any trouble in the future, I will cause trouble for you from all corners of the world."
After Hou Junji finished speaking, Xu Yunyan laughed.
"Don't worry, senior brother, who among us is going with whom? Can you please wait until I invite senior brother to have a meal in my restaurant?"
Hou Junji was puzzled.
"You just ate, are you hungry now?"
Hou Junji looked at Xu Yunyan, who must have just come out of the banquet.
"How do you say this? Isn't this why you, senior brother, are so worried that you don't even have a good meal? This niece is also married, so you can't stop paying attention to your health. Let's go. Let's go to a restaurant to eat something to fill up our stomach. Stomach, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his niece will come back to visit you tomorrow. How will you face the Crown Princess when they return to her parents’ home? If she looks haggard, you won’t make them feel distressed?”
Hou Junji was moved.
"Okay, whatever you want."
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Hou Junji breathed a sigh of relief and followed Xu Yunyan towards his restaurant.
The two of them didn't know what was going on. Xu Yunyan was wearing armor. Although it was more decorated than actual armor when he went to court, Hou Junji was also wearing such a set of armor today and even fought against Xu Yunyan. Without changing, just like this, a great general and a loyal general walked forward leisurely.
Although today is a happy day, only relative to the Li Tang Dynasty, there are always some people who always like to cause trouble and show off their abilities no matter what day it is.
Just when Xu Yunyan and Hou Junji, two generals in armor, walked to the tavern in a swaggering manner, they heard that someone was making trouble in the restaurant and they were unhappy.
"What are you doing? Are you feeding pigs? How dare you serve this kind of food to me? Believe it or not, I smashed your stall and demolished your house?"
Some people were clamoring here, and Hou Junji and Xu Yunyan hurriedly walked in after hearing this. As soon as they entered, they saw Zhang Ping here accompanying them.
"Objective, if this dish doesn't work, we'll give you another one. Why are you bullying people like this?"
"Where did you come from, little lady? Her appearance is a sign. If I have a meal and a glass of wine with the uncle, he will not be angry. What do you think?"
I don’t know what this person is doing. He is bullying Zhang Ping here like this and wants to touch her face with a stupid hand.
This frightened Zhang Ping, and she hurriedly stepped back, and the man laughed.
There was another accomplice waiting where Zhang Ping retreated, and he hugged Zhang Ping directly.
"Oh, little lady, you hurt me again. How do you think we can solve this problem?"
Seeing such a scene, Zhang Ping cried directly here.
"Let me go, let me go, otherwise my husband will not let you go."
When Zhang Ping said this, these people laughed even more wildly.
"You can serve dishes here, but isn't your husband capable? Even if he is capable, he is still here? What a joke!"
