As expected, the incident was caught by Li Chengqian. After rushing back to the palace, he saw Hou Junji's figure turning over the Tai Chi Palace and heading towards the Ganlu Hall behind him.

"Shou Shangshu stayed and waited for me." Li Chengqian shouted at first and then quickly chased after him.

"Oh, it turns out to be His Royal Highness, I wonder what your Highness calls me?" Since the first military exercise, Hou Junji has had some prejudice against the prince of the Tang Dynasty who did not give him much face. Although he did not treat it as a contradictory, he had no good expression when he met.

"Can Secretary Hou borrow a step to speak?" Li Chengqian gasped for a long time, and then he pulled his hand to the side and invited Hou Junji to speak.

"Your Highness is so mysterious, but what are the secrets?" The old man said rudely. Compared to Cheng Yaojin's carelessness, his way of speaking is more hated.

However, Tiance's old killers basically had this kind of virtue, whether crazy or arrogant, although they spoke differently, their central ideas were actually the same - they didn't really take the prince Li Chengqian into consideration.

This situation is not unique to the Zhenguan Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty. Throughout history, almost all dynasties have been like this. Regardless of whether they respect the prince or not, the character of the prince is indeed not very good in the eyes of the important officials.

Even if there is enough respect on the surface, who can know what he thinks in his heart. After all, the old guys are all figures who follow the princes to conquer the world. With this qualification, there will naturally be an advantage in subconsciousness, an advantage of the "old bird" over the "rookie".

Li Chengqian had long been used to this way of conversation, so he didn't care about Hou Junji's rudeness at all. He just smiled and pulled the old Hou aside: "Shu Hou, did he come for those local cannons?"

In fact, even if Li Chengqian cares about Lao Hou's attitude, it is useless. He has no way to deal with such a third-rank official. Veteran Tiance is not the only one who can be driven by the prince.

"Ground cannon?" Hou Junji was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he understood what Li Chengqian was saying. He nodded and said, "Yes, I think such a powerful weapon should not be placed as a prisoner to let it cover the dust."

When Li Chengqian saw other veterans of Tiance, he usually called him uncle, but when he saw Lao Hou calling for an official position, he always felt a knot in his heart. This was also the reason why he was not very polite to Li Chengqian.

Besides, Li Er is only in his thirties now and he should have been in power for a long time. Li Chengqian is probably going to have to wait for many years if he wants to ascend the throne. There is no need for the old man to be afraid of him.

Regarding the guy like Lao Hou who relies on his seniority, Li Chengqian was too lazy to say more to him, and said to the point: "I hope that Secretary Hou will let go, but I don't know what conditions are needed?"

"Where does the Crown Prince start with the words of letting go?" Hou Junji pretended to be confused with his understanding.

"I keep these local artillery for another way, so I should not worry about Shangshu Hou." Li Chengqian had a false smile on his face and directly shared his true feelings with Hou Junji.

As Li Chengqian grows older, sooner or later he will compete with these old guys. Since that's the case, it's not that important to who the opponent is earlier or later, and it's nothing wrong to pick the old man.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is so confident?" Hou Junji narrowed his eyes, revealing a little bit of the majesty and murderous aura accumulated on the battle formation for many years, trying to shock the ignorant prince.

But Lao Hou miscalculated this time. Li Chengqian's violent aura was not much less than that of him. His years of career as a prince gave him a unique aura of superiors. In addition, he had a body of disgust accumulated by slaughtering 50,000 Goguryeo slaves. He was at a disadvantage when confronted with Lao Hou, a veteran of a hundred battles.

The momentum is very strange. It is invisible and colorless, invisible and intangible. We cannot tell what it is, but we can clearly feel it through perception, just like when we have an argument with a stranger over something, sometimes we always feel that we are in a strong or weak position.

This feeling is very vague, but it really exists. The simplest example is some butchers who often slaughter livestock. When they approach livestock, the livestock often behaves abnormally, or are uneasy, or are limp, which is always different from when facing normal people.

This is the result of the invisible momentum of livestock, because we all know that livestock's spiritual sense is much stronger than humans, which makes them always perceive more than humans.

The anger on Li Chengqian's body is the same as the murderous aura on Lao Hou. If this invisible momentum can be really exaggerated, we can see that a black evil dragon was coiled around Li Chengqian's body, and Hou Junji's body was a huge blood-red giant wolf.

Of course, this is just an example. In fact, these dragons and wolves do not exist, otherwise we will become fantasy novels.

"I don't have faith, but I have some determination. Is the Secretary of Hou determined to try it?" After confronting Lao Hou, Li Chengqian's mouth slightly raised an angle that was difficult to check, and he answered Lao Hou's question with a faint smile.

Hou Junji's position at this time was the Minister of War, which should be equivalent to the Minister of National Defense in later generations. Moreover, before he became the Minister of War, Lao Hou was also a general of the Sixteen Guards. This position is basically no different from that of the commander of the military region according to modern people.

After all, the Sixteen Guards of the Tang Dynasty had the responsibility to rule the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the power of any general of the guard was basically equal to that of the commander of the military region in later generations. We can completely look at the two positions side by side.

As a country's 'Minister of Defense', Hou Junji was also a famous figure. He naturally would not be so timid about Li Chengqian's answers similar to provocativeness. He asked again with a cold face: "So what is the determination of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

After many years of battles and killing, he has made great contributions to the Li Tang Dynasty. Lao Hou felt that his dignity had been severely provoked, and he had only one thought in his heart: the Tang Dynasty was all shot by me with one sword. You are a young young man who is lucky and has a good birth. How can you pretend to be awesome in front of me!

Li Chengqian's idea was: I just have a good father, my father is Li Shimin, I am so awesome. What can you do with Hou Junji? Pretend to be a slut in front of me. If you really have the guts, you will kill me.

With this mentality, Li Chengqian said leisurely: "If Shangshu doesn't believe it, you can enter the palace. Let's see if this palace dares to blow up those local cannons."

The net is broken. I have to decide my own things. I can't go through them. I will take away the things without asking whether I am willing or not... Sorry, I would rather destroy it. This is Li Chengqian's current wish for life!
