Chapter 337

Royal Palace

When Li Shimin heard Li Mu say that the loud noise was related to Lin Xuan, he soon realized that it might be Lin Xuan's trump card for being so confident in persuading the family.

"How did he get it out, have you found out?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Mu shook his head, and said with a strange expression: "They were talking on the hillside, and there were servants and guards at the bottom of the hill, so they couldn't get close. But after they left, Baiqi's people went to the hillside to check. Deep, a huge pit more than ten feet wide, surrounded by a mess."

"Big pit? Why are they digging it? Could it be that there is some treasure on the mountain?" Li Shimin was a little puzzled.

Li Mu said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, according to the people of Baiqi, the big pit doesn't seem to be dug out, it's a bit like the wrath of thunder."

He knew that if these words were spoken, Li Shimin would doubt Lin Xuan's magic skills.

He still had a good impression of the young man who looked at him without the slightest hint of sarcasm or disdain.

It's just that even if he doesn't say anything about this matter, Baiqi will report it to Li Shimin separately, and there is no way to hide it.

Heavenly thunder descends in anger?

Li Shimin thought of the loud noise before, and the big hole he found, it seemed to be really similar.

Could it be that Lin Xuan really knew how to spell?

Thinking of the loud noise that made his heart skip a beat, Li Shimin wished he could immediately call Lin Xuan in front of him and ask what was going on.

But he calmed down quickly, he had seen Lin Xuan before Lin Xuan went, but Lin Xuan didn't tell him at all.

Even if Lin Xuan is called now, he won't say anything.

"Notify Baiqi, and investigate what happened when they met." Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Li Mu replied.

……

Duke Zhao's Mansion

After hearing Wei Chang's words, Changsun Wuji frowned deeply.

He didn't expect Lin Xuan to have such a thing in his hand.

Although he didn't know what it was, just from Wei Chang's description and the loud noise he heard before, he could know the power of this thing.

"Mr. Zhao, that's how it happened. I have to go back and think about what to do next, so I'll leave first." Wei Chang said.

Changsun Wuji is a relative of the emperor, even if the aristocratic family is destroyed, it is impossible for the eldest grandson's family to have an accident.

But the Wei family is different. Although Concubine Wei is from the Wei family, a single concubine cannot keep the Wei family.

He doesn't have the time to talk to Changsun Wuji now.

Changsun Wuji came back to his senses and said, "I will see you off."

Changsun Wuji sent Wei Chang away, and returned to the study with a gloomy expression.

He originally wanted to develop his family into a family with five surnames and seven wangs that has been passed down for thousands of years. Even if the imperial power changes, it has been prosperous for a long time.

But now it seems that the decline of the family is a foregone conclusion.

Even if there is nothing to do now, with movable type printing and the reform of the imperial examination, within ten years, the aristocratic family will not be so important to the court.

Based on his understanding of Li Shimin, when the time comes, he will definitely settle accounts with the aristocratic family.

If the eldest grandson's family wants to keep their current power, they can only rely on the royal family.

He had done this kind of thing before, taking retreat as an advance, and rejected the position of prime minister, which made Li Shimin trust him very much.

Teaching Li Chengqian is to pave the way for the future.

The effect was very good before, but since Lin Xuan appeared, Li Chengqian is not as obedient to him as before.

The relationship between Changsun Chong and Li Chengqian is also mediocre. When Li Chengqian succeeds to the throne, he will be gone, and the decline of the Changsun family will be inevitable.

The authorities have spent most of their lives before the eldest grandson's family has become what it is today, and eldest grandson Wuji can't accept this result.

"It seems that we have to find another way." Changsun Wuji's eyes turned cold.

……

"It's really strange that Duke Zhao is free to visit me, an idler." Hou Junji mocked.

When he was in prison, Changsun Wuji didn't help him, which made him hate Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji didn't care about Hou Junji's ridicule, and said indifferently: "You should know that at that time, the old man is not suitable to help you talk."

Of course Hou Junji knew about this, but he knew that if Changsun Wuji didn't help him, he still hated him secretly.

"Tell me, why did you come to see this old man?" Hou Junji asked.

Changsun Wuji pondered for a while, and said, "Are you willing to stay at home like this and live your life?"

The term "care for one's life" is a good thing for those aged in their seventies and eighties.

But for Hou Junji, who is only in his early forties and has a strong sense of power, it is undoubtedly a deep mockery.

"If Mr. Zhao has something to say, just speak up. If you continue to beat around the bush, I will see you off." Hou Junji said coldly.

Changsun Wuji said to himself: "Your Majesty will definitely use you, but when you will be used may be uncertain. It may be a year, it may be ten years, or it may never be used, who can say for sure? "

Hou Junji looked at Changsun Wuji coldly, these were exactly what he was worried about.

If he is left idle like this until his death, it is hard to say whether Hou De can inherit the title.

Changsun Wuji continued: "This old man can help you regain power, but you have to support King Jin together with this old man."

Hou Junji looked at Changsun Wuji in shock, and lost his voice: "You actually want to seize the heir?"

Changsun Wuji nodded, Li Chengqian alienated him, for the sake of the eldest grandson's family, he could only support others.

Hou Junji calmed down and asked, "The King of Jin is only four years old, why doesn't he support the King of Wei? King Wei is very much loved by His Majesty. If we have our support, the chances are great."

How old is King Jin? When he grows up and competes for the crown prince, it will take at least ten years. After such a long time, who knows what will happen?

And Li Tai is only two years younger than Li Chengqian, and Li Shimin loves him very much, even if he wants to seize the heir apparent, he should support Li Taicai.

Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is at the peak of Spring and Autumn, so you don't have to worry that His Highness King Jin doesn't have time to grow up."

For his three nephews, Changsun Wuji knew very well, Li Tai was cold by nature, even if he helped him to get a position, Li Tai would not really appreciate him.

But Li Zhi is different, he is young and not yet determined, he has enough time to influence him.

Hou Junji remained silent. Li Shimin was only in his 30s, and he was in good health without any old diseases. It would not be a problem to live another 30 or [-] years.

"How are you going to help me gain power?" Hou Junji asked.

Seeing Hou Junji's agreement, Changsun Wuji said, "According to the current situation in the grassland, there is a great chance that your Majesty will launch troops on the grassland next year. Now the generals are old and young, and some of them are old and young. You are a military general in his prime, His Majesty definitely wants to use you. However, because of the previous incident, His Majesty will not be able to use you so quickly. When the time comes, the old man will help you speak, and it will not be difficult for you to take power. The difficult thing is whether you can then Take the crime and make the meritorious deeds."

Hou Junji said to himself: "The current situation in the grassland, I also know something. According to this development, the strength of Western Turks and Xue Yantuo will be greatly reduced. As long as I can lead the army, I will definitely be able to make contributions."

Although he was grounded and thought about his mistakes at home, he was very clear about the news outside.

He is very confident, as long as he has the opportunity to lead the army, it is not difficult to make meritorious service.

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "You can wait for the good news from the old man at ease. The old man will leave first."

There is no way to make a contract for this kind of thing, only a verbal agreement can be reached.

But Changsun Wuji was not worried that Hou Junji would lie to him. In various senses, Hou Junji was the same person as him.
