On the fifth day of the sixth month of the ninth year of Wude, the Tang Emperor Li Yuan announced to the world:

Qin Wang Shimin, who did not appreciate the grace of the saint and disregarded the righteousness of his brothers and sisters, was bewitched by the generals of the Tiance Mansion, Wei Chigong and Cheng Biting Jin, and tried to murder the prince. What the people of the world have done, my heart is very cold! I wanted to kill the people of the world to correct the discipline and clarify the law, but the prince begged me hard, and I couldn't bear to kill each other, and I missed the prince's heart. Amnesty for the people of the world, now abolish his title of King of Qin, and rename him as a repentant marquis, I hope that he can truly repent, and all the titles of his son will be abolished! Abolish his Tiance general and all his positions in the court, dissolve the Tiance Mansion, repent in Yunzhou, and be banned from Yunzhou for life!

Chin this!

Since the interruption of the palace the day before yesterday, the content of this holy decree has been determined, and although the holy decree agreed upon by Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng is a bit self-defeating, it also dispelled the possibility of Li Shimin making a comeback, because as soon as this holy decree came out, Li Shimin completely lost the hearts of the people in the world, and there was no possibility of turning over.

Wei Chigong and Cheng Yanjin really disappeared as Li Haochen expected. The emperor had already issued another document to arrest the two, but Li Haochen also knew that the possibility of catching these two people was very small.

Li Haochen finally survived the first dangerous tribulation after his crossing safely, not only that, but he also saved Li Jiancheng's life, Li Jiancheng now respects him even more, and some big and small matters will be discussed with him.

Time flies very fast, and in a blink of an eye, it is the day when Li Shimin is escorted to Yunzhou, and on this day Li Jiancheng sent someone to pass Li Haochen and asked him to accompany him to see off Li Shimin. Li Haochen didn't want to go, but the prince summoned him, and he couldn't help but go, so he still accompanied Li Jiancheng and waited outside the south gate of Chang'an for the carriage to escort Li Shimin's family.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, he heard the creaking of carriages, and slowly drove towards the city gate from far and near.

Although Li Shimin made a mistake and was dismissed, dismissed, and grounded, after all, he was the son of Emperor Li Yuan and did not sit in a prison car. Instead, a not-so-luxurious carriage carried their family, and at the same time, a team of forbidden soldiers guarded them and escorted them to Yunzhou.

Seeing Li Jiancheng and Li Haochen on the side of the road, Li Shimin asked the coachman to stop the carriage, then got up and got out of the carriage, and said to Li Jiancheng: "Brother Jiancheng, I didn't expect you to come to see me off!" Li Shimin said with some emotion.

Li Jiancheng sighed and said: "Shimin, you are my own brother after all, although I know that you have imperial desires, but what do you say for your brother, you can't do anything to kill your fellow brothers, I hope you can really calm down this time, think about your own mistakes, and don't make another incident!" Otherwise, neither my father nor I will be able to protect you! Li Jiancheng said very sincerely.

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Big brother, you are wrong! I have imperial desires, if you don't kill me today, I will have a chance one day, and I will definitely not be soft, but hehe, do I still have a chance? Saying that, Li Shimin looked at the gray sky with some sentimentality, which seemed to be a portrayal of his current mood, and after looking at the sky for a while, Li Shimin lowered his head and continued: "Big brother, don't think that you won, you only won once, or because of him!" Saying that, he pointed his finger at Li Haochen, and then continued: "I haven't lost yet, at least my life is still there, big brother, you are okay with everything, but you are too merciful to your opponent!" Take care! Eldest brother! I hope you can beat me next time! As he spoke, he hugged his fist at Li Jiancheng.

Li Haochen could feel that Li Shimin's words were very sincere and heartfelt. But looking at Li Shimin's meaning, these two brothers are probably destined that sooner or later one of them will die at the hands of the other.

Li Jiancheng listened to Li Shimin's unrepentant words, and his tone was so sincere, Li Jiancheng knew that Li Shimin would not really stop like this, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart now, but Li Jiancheng knew one thing in his heart, that is, he couldn't kill Li Shimin, he couldn't get that hand. Li Jiancheng could only comfort himself, thinking in his heart that he should have a clear conscience!

Thinking of Li Jiancheng like this, he also hugged his fist at Li Shimin and said: "Shimin has a good journey!" Yunzhou is very close to the north, and you should get used to life there! ”

Li Shimin nodded at Li Jiancheng, turned his head to look at Li Haochen and said, "General Zhongwu, I really underestimate you!" Your name is Li Haochen, right, I remember you! Next time, I will definitely ask you for advice, and I will give you a small gift before leaving, I hope you can catch it! Able to wait until the next time we meet! There is another thing to tell you, you have no problem helping the prince, but please remember that I am also the emperor's son! After speaking, Li Shimin gave up his hand, and without waiting for Li Haochen to react, he got into the carriage directly and let the coachman drive away.

Li Haochen stood in place, thinking about Li Shimin's words, and had a premonition in his heart that it was not particularly good, and he always felt that something was going to happen.

At this time, an inner attendant hurriedly came with a holy decree in his hand, followed by a team of Praetorian Guards, Li Haochen looked at this posture, he thought with his feet and knew that he was probably coming to arrest people, just when he was still thinking about who to arrest, this inner attendant had already come to him, holding up the holy decree and said: "Zhongwu General Li Haochen listens to the order!" Li Haochen's body shook slightly, and cold sweat came out in an instant, but at this moment he had no choice but to kneel on the ground in an orderly manner and said: "General Zhongwu, Li Haochen takes the order!" ”

The chamberlain cleared his throat and said: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said that after investigation, Li Haochen, a loyal general, is suspected of privately transferring troops into Xuanwu Gate with the intention of rebelling!" Special Ge removed his post as a loyal military general and handed over to Dali Temple for punishment! Chin this! ”

Li Haochen knelt down and bowed, saying thank you to the lord Longen, and the chamberlain snorted coldly: "Take it away!" A team of soldiers rushed forward, escorted Li Haochen, and wanted to walk in the direction of the Dali Temple prison.

At this time, Li Jiancheng opened his mouth to stop them and said: "This is really the will of the father, Haochen has only merit in the Xuanwu Gate, and there is no fault!" Why did his father order him to be arrested? ”

The chamberlain saw that it was the prince, where did he dare to offend, so he said honestly: "His Royal Highness the prince, this will is indeed ordered by His Majesty the Emperor, as for why, the little one doesn't know, the little one just obeys the order, and the rest don't know!" ”

Li Jiancheng walked towards Li Haochen and said: "Haochen, you first grieve it, I will enter the palace immediately, find my father, ask him what is going on, see if there is any misunderstanding, you first grieve inside, you can rest assured, you will be my minister in the future, I will definitely not let you have anything!" ”

Li Haochen sighed and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, there is no need to worry, as the so-called life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, even if His Majesty the Emperor wants to kill me today, I have no complaints!" The crown prince must not enter the palace at this moment, so as not to anger His Majesty! ”

Li Jiancheng didn't pay attention to Li Haochen's words at all, and drove away angrily in the direction of the Xuanwu Gate Taiji Palace.

And Li Haochen was taken by this group of people to the prison of Dali Temple after Li Jiancheng left, Li Haochen also figured out the meaning of what Li Shimin said before leaving! This is probably what Li Shimin said, a parting gift to him, if there is no shadow of Li Shimin in this matter, there will be no one who dares to move as a close minister of the crown prince!
