Chapter 349 Excited
Li Tai has been in a very bad mood recently. Seeing Li Chengqian's status is becoming more and more stable day by day, all his previous efforts have been in vain.
The steward of Prince Wei's Mansion ran in, leaned into Li Tai's ear and whispered, "Your Highness, Lu Guogong's eldest son, Hou De, wants to see His Highness."
"Hou De? Just bring it in." Li Tai said.
The housekeeper whispered: "He asked someone to find the old slave, and said he wanted to see His Highness alone."
Li Tai squinted his eyes, he was already obese, but when he squinted his eyes like this, there was only a line left.
Li Tai picked up the wine glass, drank the wine in one gulp, and said, "Take him to Ben Wang's study, be careful not to be seen."
"Yes." The butler nodded and left in a hurry.
Li Tai sat in the main hall for a while, waved his hands to the dancing girls, and said, "This king is drunk, you should step down."
"Yes!"
After everyone left, Li Tai hurried to the study.
The housekeeper was waiting at the door of the study, when he saw Li Tai approaching, he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, he is already inside."
Li Tai nodded and said, "Look outside, don't let others get close."
Although Furong Garden is his palace, there are many eyeliners from all parties.
Among other things, Wei Wangfu's chief Shi was sent by Li Shimin, and Han Wen was from the aristocratic family.
The only thing he can trust is the housekeeper.
"Yes."
The housekeeper nodded, waited for Li Tai to enter the study, closed the door, and stood guard at the door.
"Meet the king of Wei."
When Hou De saw Li Tai coming in, he quickly got up and saluted.
Li Tai waved his hand and said with a smile, "Sit down."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"You want to see me, what's the matter?" Li Tai asked after sitting down first.
Hou De said: "My father is grateful to His Highness for interceding for him, and let me express my gratitude to Your Highness."
Li Tai said with some shame: "Mr. Lu Guo made great contributions to our Great Tang, and he is a pillar of our Great Tang. This king pleaded for him, because he didn't want Datang to lose a pillar. It's just that this king still failed. If you help Lu Guogong, I hope Lu Guogong will not blame you!"
Hou De said gratefully: "What did your highness say? At that time, my father was imprisoned, and no one pleaded for him. Your highness can plead for my father. The whole Hou family is very grateful."
Li Tai waved his hand and said, "I won't talk about this anymore. If I stay here today, the king will host a banquet. You must have a few drinks with me."
"Your Highness, besides asking me to express my gratitude to Your Highness, my father wants to tell His Highness one more thing." Hu De said.
Li Tai asked, "What's the matter?"
Hou De whispered: "Your Highness, the Cui family approached my father and asked my father and the family to support His Highness."
Li Tai was taken aback, and said, "What you said is true?"
Why did no one notify him of such a move by the family?
Hou De nodded and said, "Of course it is true."
After digesting the shocking news, Li Tai asked, "What does Lord Lu mean?"
Hou De said: "Your Highness is kind-hearted and talented. My father is naturally willing to support His Highness. It's just not with the aristocratic family."
Li Tai frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Does Your Highness really think that the family really supports His Highness?" Hou De said.
Li Tai smiled and said, "Continue."
"The aristocratic family just wanted to treat His Highness as a puppet. At the beginning they supported Prince Yin, and later turned to support His Majesty. They support His Highness now for their own interests, and they may support others for their own interests in the future. It has nothing to do with my family's support for His Highness. "Hold said.
Li Tai sneered in his heart, he was not a fool either, he knew more or less what the aristocratic family paid attention to.
But what does it matter?
He now needs the support of his family, didn't his father do the same back then?
After his father succeeded to the throne, he believed that he could do the same, regardless of his aristocratic family.
It is said that the aristocratic family supported him for the sake of profit. Could it be that Hou Junji supported him for the sake of profit?
The bustling world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.
If someone helps him not because of profit, he still doubts the purpose of the other party.
Li Tai said with a smile: "Duke Lu is willing to support me, I am very happy. I wonder if Duke Lu has any teachings?"
Hou De said: "Returning to Your Highness, I don't dare to teach you. But my father has a few words for me to tell Your Highness. My father said that military power is above all else."
Li Tai's eyes flashed brightly, and quickly disappeared. He shook his head and said, "Military power has always been a taboo of the father. Even the six princes in the East Palace, which the prince should have controlled, most of the princes can't control. This king is a prince, let alone The way to get involved in military power."
Hou De laughed and said: "My father said that he can provide His Highness with a list of generals who can be recruited. How to do it, His Highness will arrange it on his own."
Li Tai nodded and said, "I don't know if Lord Lu Guo said anything else?"
"My father also said that His Royal Highness has a shallow foundation, and now he can use the influence of the family to develop his own strength." Hou De said.
Li Tai nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Is there anything else?"
"Your Majesty is now at the peak of spring and autumn, and the time is still long. Your Highness, there is no need to worry. As long as the prince is still the prince, everything will change. There are not a few princes who fail to succeed. My father only said so much." Hou De Said.
Yes, as long as there is no succession, the prince is just a prince.
Not to mention, the former Sui prince Yang Yong was abolished?
His father is not a prince, so he is still the emperor.
"Tell Lu Guogong, I will remember his kindness." Li Tai said.
"Your Highness, I will definitely bring it. If Your Highness has no other orders, I will leave first." Hou De said.
Li Tai smiled and said, "What's the rush, I'm asking someone to prepare a dinner, you stay and have a few drinks with me."
Hou De was a little moved. Since his father chose to put the treasure on King Wei, he naturally wanted to have a good relationship with Li Tai.
But thinking of Hou Junji's words, Hou De quickly said: "Your Highness, in order not to arouse suspicion, our relationship must not be exposed, there will be opportunities in the future."
"Mr. Hou Xiaoguo is more considerate. If that's the case, I won't keep you." Li Tai said.
Of course he also knew what Hou De said, even if Hou De really stayed, he would only treat him secretly.
Now that he is unwilling to stay, Li Tai will naturally not persuade him to stay.
"Your Highness, I will take my leave first." Hou De got up and said.
"Steward Pan, help me send off Duke Hou Xiaoguo." Li Tai shouted.
Butler Pan pushed the door open, saluted Li Tai first, and then said to Hou De: "Young Master Hou, please."
Hou De saluted Li Tai and left with Steward Pan.
"Haha, this king's opportunity has come." Li Tai was very excited.
He saw that Li Chengqian's position was becoming more and more stable, but there was nothing he could do.
Those generals are too sensitive, he is not easy to win over.
As for those civil servants, except for those from the aristocratic family, the status he recruited was not very high, so they couldn't help him at all.
Civil servants with high positions and weights like Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, in their bones, will be senior and orderly, and it is simply not something he can win over.
Now with the support of Hou Junji, if through Hou Junji, he can win over some generals in the army.
Even if his father had no intention of abolishing the crown prince, he could still follow his father's example.
In this way, he would no longer be helpless because of Li Chengqian's stable position.
At this moment, the depression in Li Tai's heart for a while completely disappeared.
