Chapter 17: Li Yuan and the Muddy
A group of people followed Gao Gonggong into the main hall, in this room, the main hall is a study furnishings, there are a few unknown green plants in the room, in the middle is a table case, behind the table is a Taishi chair, and the Taishi chair is doing an old man who has passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, this old man is dressed in a red Tang suit, there is a dragon pattern in the middle of the clothes, wearing a crown of heaven, slightly chubby, eyebrows, high cheekbones, high nose and wide wings, with a faint smile on his face, no need to introduce Li Haochen also knows that this person is, Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan was originally the nephew of the Empress Dugu of Emperor Wen of Sui, and belonged to the relatives of the Sui Dynasty.
As a top student in the history department, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan's resume, he can basically memorize it backwards. Seeing Li Yuan himself at this moment, he was also very excited.
Li Jiancheng took him and Xue Wanche to salute Li Yuan, and Li Yuan smiled and said, "Jiancheng, get up!" Li Haochen had some illusions at this moment, feeling that the old man sitting behind the imperial case was not the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but just an old man looking at his child with kind eyebrows.
After Li Yuan asked a few people to get up, he told the father-in-law Gao who was waiting on the side to move a stool for the crown prince Li Jiancheng and let Li Jiancheng sit down.
After Li Jiancheng sat down, Li Yuan spoke, and he said: "Jiancheng, the people of the world said that you arrested him Chi Gong, the general of the Qin Palace, is there such a thing?" I'm old, the future of the Tang Dynasty depends on your two brothers, you are the elder brother, if you want to be humble to the younger brother, don't you say? ”
Li Haochen listened to Li Yuan's words, it seems that today's matter may end without a problem, Li Yuan is planning to make peace with the mud, saying that the Tang Dynasty depends on the two brothers, and it is not clear who it depends on, Li Haochen sighed in his heart, it seems that half of this change in the Xuanwu Gate is Li Yuan's responsibility, and the ambiguity of his speech will definitely fuel the ambition of King Qin, I really don't know what this emperor is thinking in his heart.
Li Jiancheng also understood what Li Yuan meant, but he planned such a big move, and he had to ask Li Yuan for a specific attitude today, and he couldn't make him want to be the same as usual. Therefore, Li Jiancheng said: "What my father taught me is that the child remembers, but my father, I must make it clear to my father, today I caught a person who assassinated me, fortunately General Xue appeared in time, otherwise the son is afraid that he will not see his father today, and then the people of the world came, saying that the son of the son arrested his general, and the son of the minister knew that the assassin of the son of the minister was General Wei Chi!" Erchen doesn't know if he is sent by Shimin, if he is sent by Shimin, it is our family matter, and Erchen can ignore it. If it wasn't sent by Shimin, it would be a state affair, and the military generals of the DPRK intended to assassinate the crown prince of the dynasty, and the emperor was asked to make the decision for his sons! ”
Li Jiancheng's words are really too level, the subtext means that if the King of Qin asks Yu Chigong to assassinate him, he can ignore it, but the King of Qin will inevitably bear the charge of assassinating his brother, if the King of Qin does not admit that he sent Yu Chigong to assassinate him, then he will have to Yancheng Wei Chigong to set an example, no matter how the King of Qin chooses, it will be a huge loss. At the same time, this also gave Li Yuan a problem, Li Yuan consciously asked Li Shimin to apologize to Li Jiancheng, and the matter was over, although Li Yuan was not at the scene, but he could also guess that this matter must have been designed by Li Jiancheng, Li Yuan didn't believe it at all, thinking that the shrewd second son Li Shimin would do such a stupid thing.
Li Jiancheng's words directly disrupted Li Yuan's train of thought, and then he said angrily: "Jiancheng, they are all their own brothers, and they have to be forgiving and forgiving!" Everyone could see that Li Yuan was a little dissatisfied with Li Jiancheng and a little angry.
Li Jiancheng hurriedly said: "My father is angry, and my sons don't think that the people of the world will do such a rebellious thing, I think that Wei Chi Gong made his own ideas and assassinated his sons, and the sons asked his father to severely punish Wei Chi Gong to set an example, such a lawless person, staying by the side of the people will definitely be a big disaster!" Please also ask the Emperor to judge! ”
When Li Yuan heard this, he knew that Li Jiancheng was not ready to give up, so he immediately said angrily: "Jiancheng, you ...... You...... Hey......" paused and said, "Shimin." You go back first! I'll take care of it! ”
Li Shimin listened to Li Yuan's words, and knew in his heart that this time it was estimated that Wei Chigong would not be able to save it, and he was also very depressed and said: "My son's retired, and I hope that my father will see that General Wei Chi has made great contributions to my Tang Dynasty, and has sacrificed his life many times to save his sons and ministers for the sake of fire and water, and can be lightly dismissed!" After saying that, Li Shimin turned around and went out.
After Li Shimin left, Li Yuan stood up, beckoned to Li Jiancheng and said, "Jiancheng, you will come!" Saying that, Li Yuan took the lead in turning around and entering the inner room, and Li Jiancheng then followed Li Yuan into the inner room. Li Haochen and Xue Wanche were left in the study.
Obviously, Li Yuan had something to say to Li Jiancheng, so he took Li Jiancheng to the inner room.
The father and son didn't know what to say, but the father and son had been in the inner room for a long time, and there was no sign of coming out.
Li Haochen asked Xue Wanche in a low voice: "General Xue, can you guess what the emperor is saying to the crown prince now?" "Li Haochen needs to find someone to discuss now, this time the prince and the king of Qin are secretly contesting, the prince's victory is self-evident, that is, the victory is still in Li Yuan's hands, Li Haochen is now thinking about how to help the prince expand the victory and win greater benefits for the prince.
After Xue Wanche listened to Li Haochen's words, he shook his head and said: "General Zhongwu, this is a family affair of the emperor, the crown prince and the king of Qin, it has nothing to do with us foreign ministers, let alone our generals, what we need to do is to protect the prince's safety!" For the rest, I advise you not to engage in the way of Wenchen and the calculation of the organs, so as not to be careless and lose a good future! ”
Li Haochen rushed to discuss it with Xue Wanche, but who thought about it but was educated by Xue Wanche, Li Haochen consciously bored it, so he no longer paid attention to Xue Wanche, but pondered it himself.
After about half a year of sincerity, Li Yuan had a satisfied expression and Li Jiancheng who hung his head. walked out of the inner room together, looking at Li Jiancheng's appearance, Li Haochen knew that Li Jiancheng might have compromised on this matter.
Thinking of being busy, Li Haochen was very unwilling in his heart, and when Li Jiancheng said that his ministers would retire and prepare to take Li Haochen and Xue Wanche back to the East Palace, Li Haochen knelt down in front of Li Yuan and said: "Your Majesty, Minister Li Haochen risked his life to speak to Your Majesty!" Your Majesty has something to say! ”
