This is all he knows. As for why Hou Junji was sent to the Anxi Protectorate to reclaim wasteland, Changsun Wuji also knows nothing.
Hou Junji will not return home at this time. This time there is a question mark on his forehead, and he can't sleep. At this time, I simply went directly to Prince Jin's Mansion.
King Jin asked for the things from Honglu Temple. King Jin knew more or less about this matter. Moreover, King Jin went to Ganlu Hall and Lizheng Hall most recently, so he could always hear some rumors.
At this time, they arrived at Prince Jin's Mansion, and the palace guards went in to report. After a while, Hou Junji saw Prince Jin and came out of the mansion to greet him. Hou Junji had mixed feelings and was pulled into Prince Jin's Mansion by Li Zhi.
As soon as we sat down in the living room, there was a maid serving tea.
"Chen Guogong is a rare visitor. Let's try the tea produced in Lingnan."
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? wasn't a real official position, but closer to a title, somewhat similar to the Prince Consort, and more of an honor.
"Your Highness, Junji won't go around any corners and will get straight to the point. Does your Highness know why your Majesty suddenly asked me to go to the Anxi Protectorate?"
"Have you made this matter clear to the imperial court? Let Chen Guogong go to Anxi to supervise the reclamation of wasteland, and then supervise the military affairs of Anxi. It should not be long before the Duke of the state takes up the position of Protector of Anxi."
"Why did you suddenly ask Jun Ji to go there?"
"It was my suggestion!"
"Your Highness,"
Hou Junji suddenly didn¡¯t know what to say. Isn¡¯t it obvious that he was driven to the frontier? With his official position and power, if he really became the Protector of Anxi, he would be demoted! And it¡¯s not an ordinary drop, this is really a drop again and again.
At this time, Hou Junji can be said to be prosperous and prosperous in his official career, and he has always had a good relationship with the prince. His son-in-law Helan Chushi was working in the East Palace at this time and was very close to the prince Li Chengqian.
He was formerly the Duke of Lu and was renamed Duke of Chen.
Before the official position, he was the Minister of the Ministry of War, and now he was appointed the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the general manager of the Jiaohe River. No matter which position he held, it was no better than being the Protector of Anxi.
And Anxi is far away on the border and is a bitter cold place. At this time, I am in Chang'an.
But at this time Hou Junji looked at King Jin and couldn't say a word.
Your Majesty's Imperial Majesty has been enthroned, and it is impossible to change things at this time. There is no point in arguing with King Jin anymore.
No matter what Hou Junji does or says at this time, he will definitely go to Anxi this time, and it is hard to violate the sacred order.
There is no need to have any more disputes with King Jin at this time. If King Jin is offended again, who knows what he will say to His Majesty.
At this time, Hou Junji could only look at King Jin, with an ugly expression on his face. Li Zhi glanced at Hou Junji and naturally knew what he was thinking at this time.
Li Zhi walked to Hou Junji and patted the famous Tang general on the shoulder.
"Mr. Chen Guogong, it would be better to go to Anxi to grow cotton. You are growing cotton in Anxi, and I am also growing cotton in the palace. We are doing the same thing."
" Hou Junji is so miserable. At this time, he can't reason with the King of Jin, let alone rebuke this kind of thing.
¡°I could only say goodbye to Prince Jin and quickly left the Prince Jin¡¯s Mansion.
"Master Hou seems to be very unhappy!"
There, Cui Yan was preparing to ask King Jin about something. Hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh.
"You are a good Minister of the Six Bubu. As the Duke of the country, His Highness is forced to go to the frontier to grow cotton. It's strange to be happy."
"It's better to go to the frontier to grow cotton. It's safer than staying in the mixed pond of Chang'an."
Li Zhi said something and looked at Cui Yan.
"Sister Cui, do you have anything to do with me?"
"This was sent from Zhuyuan early in the morning. His Highness was with Mr. Hou just now, and the people from Zhuyuan gave this cotton cloth to me."
Li Zhi took it, and it felt much better than yesterday. He didn¡¯t know how the cotton fabric was processed in the garment factory. In later generations, cotton would have been treated with softener, which is naturally not available at this time.
No matter, the people of later generations have their own methods, and the ancients have their own methods. What Li Zhi needs is just soft cotton, not the hard cotton like the filial clothes of later generations.
At this time, he put away the piece of cotton cloth and called Chuntao, asking her to prepare the carriage and horses, and he rushed to the palace.
At this time in the East Palace, Li Chengqian had already called Han Wang Li Yuanchang to the East Palace early.
As soon as the uncle and nephew, who were basically the same age, met, Li Yuanchang noticed something was wrong with the prince's complexion.
"Uncle Seventh Emperor, you are finally here. Have you heard about Hou Junji being sent to Anxi by his father to plant cotton?"
¡°??I just heard about it and came to see His Highness. "
"What does the emperor mean by transferring Hou Junji away from Chang'an at this time?"
"I don't know about this either. When I first came here, I had already sent someone to the Duke's Mansion to invite Mr. Hou to come over."
"Did your father deliberately push away the people around me? Everyone in the cultural relics of the dynasty knows that Hou Junji is a member of this palace."
"Your Highness, please be patient. We don't know what's going on at this time, so don't mess up your position yet."
"How can I not be in a hurry? My father said those words to Shangguan Yi in Hongwen Pavilion before, and now he is in a hurry to transfer Hou Junji to Anxi. Is this just a coincidence?"
After Li Chengqian said this, he could no longer sit still and stood up. He wanted to take a few steps in the hall, but after just two steps, his steps were already messed up.
"By the way, Uncle Seventh Emperor, what's the arrangement with King Wei? My father is urging us so urgently. If we don't take action, I'm afraid it will be too late to do anything again in the future."
"Your Highness, King Wei has made arrangements, and we can take action at any time."
"Then let your people take action as soon as possible. It won't be too late. When my father discusses changing the position of crown prince in the court, it will be too late for us to take action."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Okay, Uncle Seventh Emperor, you have to make arrangements now. They must be done properly so that no one can doubt me."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, that person has been in Prince Wei's Mansion for three years, and Prince Wei has never been wary of her."
Li Chengqian waved his hand, and Li Yuanchang quickly exited the Lizheng Hall, left the East Palace, and went to work on this matter.
At this time, Hou Junji thought that he had scolded King Jin all the way, but no matter how he scolded him, the matter was irreversible. His Majesty said eloquently that he must go to Anxi this time.
At this time, no matter how unwilling Hou Junji was, he could only hand over the matters at hand, and then go to various places to recruit households heading to Anxi.
This time, His Highness, the King of Jin, suffered enough misfortune. Chen Guogong, a dignified minister, actually wanted to go to Anxi to grow cotton.
¡°The King of Jin also said that the Duke went to Anxi to grow cotton, and I grew cotton in the palace, doing the same thing.
¡°Hey, King Jin¡¯s mischief this time has really caused great harm to himself.
Hou Junji returned to Chen Guogong's mansion listlessly, even a little depressed, with such a look on his face that the concubines who usually served him did not dare to approach him. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
