Chapter 86: See Yuan Tiangang

After Li Haochen got the cotton matter done, he went to Li Jing's mansion and returned the 1,000 taels of gold he had borrowed from Li Jing to Li Jing. Of course, the most important thing to go to Li Jing's mansion this time was to send her fifteen times the gold. Li Haochen really didn't expect that Li Juan'er, a lady from a wealthy lady, was actually a real money fan. When he saw the box of gold that Li Haochen gave her, his eyes seemed to be in money, so that Li Haochen and she didn't pay much attention to Li Haochen when he said goodbye to her, which made Li Haochen shake his head helplessly.

Li Haochen gave Lu Tong all the remaining nearly 10,000 taels of gold. When Lu Tong saw this gold, his eyes almost fell to the ground and murmured, "General is really a god!" Li Haochen ignored his murmuring, but told him to keep the gold and tell him what the money is for in a few days. After doing this, it was the next afternoon. Li Haochen returned to his mansion and prepared to go to the prince's East Palace tomorrow to see what the prince was looking for him the day before yesterday.

The next morning, Li Haochen got up early, after washing up, he left the house and was about to go to the prince's East Palace and entered the East Palace. Li Jiancheng was practicing calligraphy in the study. When he saw Li Haochen coming, he said, "Haochen, you are here!" His voice was a little cold.

Li Haochen knew that he had few contacts with Li Jiancheng recently, and was afraid that Li Jiancheng would have any objections to him, so he knelt down and bowed: "My minister, Li Haochen, pay homage to the Crown Prince, His Highness, His Highness, Thousand Years!" In Li Haochen's words, the reason why he did not bring his official position and title was because it demonstrated his closeness to Li Jiancheng, and that such a formal gift was to show that although he had not contacted Li Jiancheng for a long time, he was surrendered to Li Jiancheng.

Sure enough, Li Haochen's big gift, Li Jiancheng's face, who had a serious face just now, suddenly smiled and said, "You, get up quickly! Without outsiders, you and me don't have to give this big gift!"

Li Haochen listened to Li Jiancheng's words and looked at his attitude. Li Haochen knew that he was doing this right, and he always didn't contact him in a good relationship. After a long time, he became weak. He knew very well that Li Jiancheng was his backer in the Tang Dynasty. It was obviously not enough to maintain this backer by relying on interests. Li Jiancheng was the crown prince and the monarch of the future Tang Dynasty. He knew very well that serving the king's emotional maintenance was inevitable, because they were supreme beings and were too empty in their emotions. Gaining the trust of the king is the way for the ministers to survive in this feudal society.

Li Haochen stood up and said, "The courtesy cannot be abolished! The prince's words will be ruined!"

Li Jiancheng laughed and said, "Okay, Hao Chen, you have always been so polite!" Li Jiancheng couldn't help but remember that Li Haochen beat Li Tai, Yuchi Gong, and Li Shimin said that he was polite and genius believed him, but seeing Li Haochen surrendered to him so much, Li Jiancheng was quite satisfied.

After listening to Li Jiancheng's half-joking question, Li Haochen quickly replied: "I have always been polite to Your Highness. Your Highness went to find me the day before yesterday. I don't know what I have to do. I just finished the matter of collecting cotton by Your Majesty, so I hurried to you to report!" Li Haochen went straight in. He didn't know what Li Jiancheng wanted him to do when he found him, and he also explained what he had done before he came over the past two days, so as not to avoid Li Jiancheng being suspicious and suspected that he did not pay attention to Li Jiancheng's words.

Li Jiancheng nodded after hearing this and said, "National affairs are the most important. I know you have a lot of things recently. I want you to come here to discuss with you. Regarding the disappearance of Changsun Wuji in the Dali Temple prison, I know that my father has given you this matter. I wonder what you think about it?"

When Li Haochen heard Li Jiancheng's words, he couldn't understand. Now he was asking him what he thought. It was obvious that Li Jiancheng had any ideas. Li Haochen, who understood, quickly said: "I have been busy collecting cotton these days. I haven't investigated this matter yet. What Your Highness mean is that your Highness discovered something? Haochen also asked your Highness to make it clear!"

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Haochen who had understood what he meant and nodded with satisfaction: "I didn't find anything, but I know that this matter must be deeply involved. But do you know that the officials in Chang'an had just experienced the influence of the Xuanwu Gate incident and experienced the rumor storm. The officialdom in Chang'an can no longer withstand the tossing and trouble. I don't want any earthquake in the officialdom again. Do you understand?"

Li Jiancheng's meaning is very obvious, that is, he hopes that Li Haochen will not make too much trouble and not involve too much, otherwise all officials will inevitably be in danger. If he is unwilling to be a government official, it will inevitably affect the development of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Haochen understood what Li Jiancheng meant, and was also very impressed by the prince's heart. It was obvious that this was the best opportunity to suppress the remaining forces of Li Shimin. However, listening to Li Jiancheng's intention, it seemed that for the stability of the situation in the court, he did not want to pursue this matter too much. Li Haochen thought about this clearly and nodded and said, "The prince is generous and kind, Haochen admires it! Haochen found out the truth and only caught the culprit. The rest of the people secretly reported to Your Highness, please make a decision!"

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Haochen and understood what he meant, then smiled without saying a word, nodded slightly, and said nothing.

At this time, Li Haochen said again: "Although the Crown Prince is generous and kind, some people may not understand His Highness's mind. Although Haochen dares not not to implement His Highness's instructions, please do not miss this opportunity to clear the remnant forces! Haochen said this!"

Li Jiancheng listened to Li Haochen's words and sighed: "Haochen, don't I know this is an opportunity, but you have to know that if the situation is turbulent and panic is caused, it may not be worth the cost!"

Li Haochen looked at Li Jiancheng and seemed to have made a decision in his heart, but as a person on the same ship, he had to persuade again: "I heard that serious illnesses need to be treated with severe medicine, otherwise the symptoms will not be cured, and in the end it will be difficult to get back and forth, so please think twice!"

Li Jiancheng knew that Li Haochen was for his own good, but he could not use the Tang Dynasty's power to bet. Li Jiancheng sighed again and said, "Haochen, I have decided, so there is no need to persuade him! I believe that these people will be able to reform themselves after this battle and use it for my own use! After all, they are all the loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty. If they really die in the palace struggle, I can't bear it!"
