Chapter 45 Self-certification of innocence
Li Haochen frowned and said, "Who do you see?"
"You will know when you arrive!" Li Yuanji snorted coldly, then turned his head and ignored Li Haochen. Obviously, he was still worried about Li Haochen's scolding him just now.
Li Haochen looked at Li Yuanji's expression and did not dare to ask any more questions, for fear of angering this reckless man. If he really gave him a sword, he would be really dead and unfair!
Li Haochen was very curious about who this person was, and whether it was Wei Zheng? Or Zhang Han, or the prince? I really couldn't figure it out, but if you could ask the King of Qi for help, the person should be the prince, and the other two people had no such possibility. Also, what was this person doing when he saw him? Think about the date of the Qiu Jue, which was less than a month before. What was the point of letting him come out now? And he had to bear the charge of escape from prison and had to implicate the King of Qi. This seemed very unreasonable to Li Haochen, which made him puzzled.
Li Haochen shook his head and threw his complicated thoughts out of his head. He thought that he would be at peace since he came. When he arrived, he knew that he didn't think much. He leaned his head against the carriage and fell asleep again. Moreover, he snored like thunder. Li Yuanji was so angry that he almost took him off the carriage. Li Yuanji thought to himself: "This fat man is so big. I don't know if I or him are going to be executed. Why do I feel that I am more nervous than him?"
About a quarter of an hour passed, the carriage stopped. Li Haochen was woken up by the angry Li Yuanji, rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "Have you arrived? Where is this?"
Li Yuanji looked at his condition and said in his heart: "Why didn't I hear my elder brother say that this fat man is so sleepy?" In fact, this cannot be blamed for Li Haochen. Li Haochen usually encounters troubles. There are two solutions, one is to eat and the other is to sleep. He often says that he has no worries when he is full, and no worries when he is asleep. No wonder this makes him look like this figure today.
Li Yuanji looked at Li Haochen and was so angry that he said angrily: "Due to the Underworld! Get off the car!"
Li Haochen knew that Li Yuanji was angry with him, so he didn't dare to say anything to stimulate him. Thinking that he had come, he got off the car. Li Haochen got off the car and saw that this was a house without a plaque. It was very large, about thousands of square meters. The green plants in the house were very exquisite, somewhat like the style of Su-style gardens.
Li Yuanji led the way in front, Li Haochen followed honestly, walked through the main hall of the house, and came to a side room. Li Haochen entered the side room and saw a man sitting on a Grand Master.
I saw that this was an old man who had passed the age of knowing destiny. The old man was slightly fat, wearing a black Tang suit, with gold silk texture at the cuffs of his clothes, a belt inlaid with Hetian jade on his waist, a crown of heaven on his head, a bright eyebrows, a tall cheekbones, a tall nose and wide wings, and a faint smile on his face. It was Li Yuan, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
When Li Haochen saw that it was Li Yuan, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Sinner Li Haochen, see Your Majesty the Emperor!"
Li Yuan looked at Li Haochen with a smile on his face and said, "Get up!"
After Li Haochen got up, he thought, why did the emperor Li Yuan summon him? He looked at Li Yuanji with some confusion. Li Yuanji shook his head, saying that he didn't know what was going on.
At this moment, Li Yuan put away the smile on his face and said, "Li Haochen, do you know your crime?" Li Haochen felt clever in his heart. As the saying goes, being with the king is like a tiger. This emperor really turned his back on his face! He smiled very kindly at the last moment, and he scolded him angrily.
However, during these days in prison, Li Haochen also knew why Li Yuan was angry with him and hurriedly said: "The criminal is aware of his crime! The criminal should not have sent troops to Xuanwu Gate without authorization, but he is in a hurry to follow the power. The criminal is the guards responsible for the safety of the prince. Naturally, he must ensure the safety of the prince. I hope that your Majesty will be lighter because of the criminal's loyalty to protect the lord!" In Li Haochen's heart, there was never any integrity. He has been an orphan since childhood, and he deeply understood one truth, that is, a real man can bend and stretched, he must give in when he should give in when he should give in, and when he should plead for mercy.
Li Yuan sighed and said, "If it's just this thing, I can spare you once for your loyalty to protect the Lord and not be skeptical about you! But this creates rumors, seriously hurts the court and me, harms the people, makes the court break its trust, and makes me shame! I will never forgive you for this matter!"
Li Haochen heard this and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty said this, it is really accusing the criminals. Even if you give them ten thousand courage, the criminals dare not incite the people and seriously hurt Your Majesty and the court! Moreover, even if the criminals want to save themselves, they cannot use such a stupid method! This will only make Your Majesty angry with the criminals and let them die in vain!"
Li Yuan nodded slowly after hearing this, saying, "What you said is indeed reasonable! But who would it be if you said it was not the rumor you spread?"
Li Haochen said without thinking: "Of course it's the bastard's grandson Li..." Li Haochen originally wanted to say, of course it was the bastard's grandson Li Shimin, but he remembered that in front of me, he said that his son was the turtle grandson, and that this man was also the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Isn't that a rhythm of seeking death?
Therefore, he quickly changed his words and said, "Who is it? I don't know either! Please give the guilty minister some time. The guilty minister will definitely find out who is confusing the public!"
Li Yuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and a look of a successful plan flashed across his face and said, "Okay, I will give you some time. There is less than a month left before Qiu Jue. Before this, if you can find out this matter, find evidence, and prove your innocence! I will issue an order to pardon you. If you cannot prove your innocence within this time, this month will be the last month of your life in this world! For your advantage, I will give you a secret decree! There is not much time left, I hope you can seize the opportunity!" This secret decree means that you cannot get an open imperial decree. There is neither a great treasure nor a seal. It means that you say it is an imperial decree, which is indeed written by the emperor. But if things are not done well, the emperor can instantly deny it, and this imperial decree will be like waste paper. So this is really a useless rib for Li Haochen. It is tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it. But at this moment, it is better than nothing for Li Haochen.
Li Yuan was actually in the palace and had no clue about rumors. Later, when he thought that Li Haochen had many ghost ideas, even his second son Li Shimin, who had always been good at calculating, was plotted by Li Haochen. He wanted Li Haochen to deal with this matter, but he was afraid that this kid would deal with it, so he first had the imperial edict for beheading and today's conversation. This can only be said that Jiang is still old.
