Before that, just after Dai Zhou came with the imperial decree and took away seven or eight people from the East Palace.
There were already galloping horses galloping out of the city to report to Hou Junji.
And when Hou Junji learned everything, his scalp was numb with shock, and his eyes showed a fierce look.
If you don't do it now, how can you have another chance on your side? !
Ever since, he didn't care too much, and rushed directly to the East Palace.
Keep urging, begging Li Chengqian to do it.
But Li Chengqian, at this juncture, is still the same as before.
Just like a puddle of mud, he hesitated, avoiding blindly, saying that he wanted to be quiet and think about it.
Let these people not push themselves so hard.
Seeing him like this, Hou Junji gritted his teeth with hatred.
"Your Highness!"
"When you found the minister, what did you say?"
"What did you say when planning the grand plan of enshrining Mount Tai?"
"But now, why have you suddenly become so cowardly again?!"
"For a major event like treason, once you take the first step, there is no room for regret."
"Right now, the imperial court has issued an edict to announce Li Qiu's life experience to the world."
"This is also our last chance to do it."
"Otherwise, once Furongyuan and the palace pay attention, we will have no chance to attack."
"And at that time, the grand plan of enshrining Zen on Mount Tai that we had prepared before will definitely show its feet."
"At that time, everyone in this palace, including your highness, will have to take part in it."
"Don't procrastinate any longer, let's do it!"
Chapter 1031 Li Chengqian: I won't turn back
Not only Hou Junji, but the satisfaction at the moment also used his trump card.
"Your Highness."
"That Dai Zhou and Dali Temple have arrested all the people from Lizheng Hall and Zongzheng Temple."
"Even if a few of us keep our mouths shut, but we are satisfied, we will inevitably be found out by them."
"Then he was ordered to be executed by the Holy Spirit."
"Satisfactory, not afraid of death."
"It's just that I can't bear to leave Your Highness's side."
"I don't even want to die like this, without seeing your highness put on the dragon robe and sit on the dragon chair."
"It looks like when I ascended the position of the general."
"Your Highness, even if you want to save your life, make up your mind..."
Hearing what he said, Li Chengqian's eyes really showed extreme unbearable and moved expression.
Seeing this, Gao Shilian, Li Yuanchang, Hou Junji and others at the side were also overjoyed.
But what they never expected was that at the last moment, Li Chengqian still withered.
Then, like going crazy, he slammed into his study, closed the door, and refused to let him in.
At this juncture of life and death, he, who had already panicked to the extreme, subconsciously.
Just want to do one thing.
That is, a booklet was dug out from the box that had already been piled up with dust under the bed.
This booklet was left to him by his enlightenment teacher, the great Confucian Li Gang.
What was written above were also words of admonition to teach Li Chengqian in his daily life, let him follow the right path of the crown prince, and help him keep his heart and conduct himself virtuously.
After that, Li Chengqian, who was terrified, flustered, and helpless, trembled like this, and subconsciously flipped through these words.
And flipping through, in his mind, it seemed that the past voice and appearance of his mentor appeared again.
And those constant teachings.
At this time, in Li Chengqian's eyes, tears of longing and incomparable regret also flowed down.
It turns out that in these years, I have deviated so much from the path I should have taken and the teachings of my teacher.
He also did so many wrong things that shouldn't be done.
At this moment, Li Chengqian seemed to recall in his mind before his teacher died of illness.
The warmth of holding my own hand, and the deafening words that sound like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning.
"Your Highness, remember what I said, and don't panic about the foot disease anymore."
"Your Highness, you are well-behaved, do what you should, and always be loyal to the emperor and empress, that's all."
"The subject is going to grow old now, and the road ahead will depend on you, Your Highness, to go on your own..."
Thinking about the words of my mentor before his death.
Li Chengqian couldn't help calling slowly and softly, "Teacher...teacher..."
And with every call he made, his eyes became clearer and firmer.
It seems that the loyal, filial, benevolent, righteous, Confucian upright man was regarded as a treasure by Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.
And the crown prince Li Chengqian, who is favored and respected by everyone, is back again!
It was at the moment when Li Chengqian opened the door of his room again and stood in front of everyone again.
Everyone present could clearly feel the sudden change of the prince in front of him.
It seemed that at this very moment, Prince Li Chengqian seemed to have changed into a different person.
And in the hearts of Gao Shilian, Hanwang, Du Zhenglun, Hou Junji, and Xinxin.
There is already a faint premonition that the prince will never make up his mind to do it today.
It's just that at this moment, they are already on the verge of breaking out.
I can only try again, repeating the urging question, "Your Highness."
"Have you ever thought about it?"
"It's not too late, this opportunity is fleeting right now."
"Go ahead!"
Looking at the expressions of the crowd and listening to their words, Li Chengqian's eyes showed more and more indifference.
Then, under the eyes of everyone, Li Chengqian finally nodded slowly.
But before everyone present was overjoyed, Li Chengqian's next sentence made them fall into an ice cave.
"I've already thought about it."
"I will not do such unfaithful and unfilial things such as killing brothers and killing parents."
"I am the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and I should be a model of virtue in the world."
"But over the years, he has committed all kinds of wrong things, and finally fell to this point."
"From now on, I will not continue to make mistakes."
Listening to the crazy words Li Chengqian said at this moment, Gao Shilian, Han Wang Li Yuanchang, Hou Junji and others were anxious.
It's just like being jealous.
And Xin Xin secretly made up her mind at this time.
A few steel needles were also secretly prepared in his hands.
If it really doesn't work, he can only forcefully control Li Chengqian's mind.
But that process is too risky and may not be accepted by the people around.
"His Royal Highness."
"You may be too tired right now."
"Why don't you sit down and rest for a while, and drink today's soup?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian squeezed harder the booklet left by his mentor in his cuff.
Then his eyes became firm, and for the first time, he pushed away the hand that was supporting his arm.
"I have made up my mind, please don't try to persuade me again."
"I won't drink this decoction for foot disease from now on."
"If you are lame, you will be lame. What I want to cultivate is the foundation of my life, which is virtue."
"About this rebellion, no one should mention it again in the future."
"As for you, I will send you out of the palace right now, leave Chang'an, and go wherever you want."
"Live a lifetime of glory and wealth."
Listening to Li Chengqian's words, watching his decision at the moment.
Even if he is satisfied, there is a look of chaos and disbelief in his eyes.
He really didn't understand why Li Chengqian, who had been firmly in his hands all this time, suddenly lost control?
Just now in the study, what happened to Li Chengqian? !
If I had known this earlier, I should not have interrupted the secret medicine that confuses and controls people without authorization in the past two years.
But now, it's too late for any regrets.
Li Chengqian had deliberately kept a long distance from him.
I can't get up violently, restrain him, and then stab the steel needle into his back.
In that case, with so many people and generals around, they will not let themselves succeed.
Looking at the scene in front of him, even the satisfaction is rare in his life and he has no countermeasures.
And people like Du Zhenglun, Kong Yingda, Gao Shilian and others shook their heads repeatedly and sighed deeply.
Just give up and accept fate.
As for Hou Junji, at this moment, he only had regrets in his heart.
At the beginning, I really should have followed my own heart and rejected the solicitation of the East Palace.
This Li Chengqian is just a dou who can't be supported, he is completely different from his father in Xuanwumen.
If today's incident is true, it won't be long before the major conspiracy will be exposed.
You will also be implicated.
Whether you can save your life is another matter.
Then do you want to run away early?
But although the world is big, where can there be a place for oneself?
Just when the atmosphere in the room came to a standstill, everyone started to think wildly.
Suddenly someone came to report that His Royal Highness King Wei had come to visit.
While speaking, the eunuch at the door couldn't stop him.
Li Tai already strode in with his iconic (smiling tiger) friendly smile.
Before everyone saw his figure, they heard his laughter.
"Hehe, brother!"
"Yesterday, there was too much noise in this city."
