Chapter 157: Degraded Pastoral
Li Haochen saw that Lu Pingting had listened to his words, and knew in his heart that Lu Pingting had already known the seriousness of the matter, Li Haochen watched Lu Pingting's eyes reddened and tears slowly flowed out of his eyes, and he was very unbearable in his heart, and just wanted to say something to comfort him. However, before Li Haochen could speak, Lu Pingting spoke: "Husband, as the saying goes, husband and wife are one, if Your Majesty wants to punish her husband today, how can she escape alone, no matter what happens, Ting hopes to face it with her husband!" Ping Ting also hopes that her husband will not say such things again! ”
Li Haochen was very moved when he heard Lu Pingting say this, and was about to say something emotional, when he heard a slender voice from outside the mansion door: "The holy decree has arrived!" Liang Guogong Li Haochen received the order! ”
Li Haochen hurriedly took Lu Pingting to the front yard and bowed down and said, "Minister Liang Guogong Li Haochen takes the order!" ”
The chamberlain glanced at Li Haochen, and saw that he was standing there straight and did not kneel at all, so he randomly said angrily: "Bold Li Haochen, don't kneel when you see the holy decree!" Do you want to rebel? ”
Li Haochen knew that this holy decree was definitely not good news for him, who from top to bottom did not know that he was given by the emperor and could not kneel in front of the king, this chamberlain definitely wanted to push the wall down and everyone pushed it, and wanted to take the opportunity to step on himself, although Li Haochen was lonely, but it was not something that this little chamberlain could bully, so he snorted coldly and said: "My lord knows that His Majesty will definitely punish my father, but as long as Your Majesty does not take back the gift of your father's face and not kneeling, then my lord can not kneel when he sees His Majesty the Emperor, let alone the holy decree!" ”
After finishing speaking, Li Haochen paused, raised his voice a little and continued: "It's just that you just have a waiter without a seed, who gave you the courage to dare to talk to your father-in-law like this, and the housekeeper sent off the guests!" This decree is not accepted! I want to see how you can report to Your Majesty when you go back! Hum! After speaking, he pulled up Lu Pingting, who was kneeling on the ground and waiting for the waiter to announce the decree, and prepared to turn around and leave.
Li Haochen's move really made the waiter's forehead sweat, thinking that he was not arrogant when he went to read the emperor's decree that time, where did he receive such treatment, but now he is indeed weaker than others, if he goes back like this, Li Haochen will not be punished by His Majesty He is not in the mood to think, but his chamberlain has humiliated the royal face, it is definitely dead and alive, there is no way, the chamberlain squeezed out a trace of smile, laughed dryly, and compensated Li Haochen for it: "Hehe, That Liang Guogong should not be like a non-species servant in our family, just now our family said the wrong thing, and please Liang Guogong After listening to our family read the holy decree, our family can go back to the palace to make a difference! Please don't embarrass me! ”
Li Haochen just wanted to give this high and low servant a little color, and he didn't want to accept the holy decree, seeing that the inner servant in front of him had softened, Li Haochen was not unforgiving, so he turned around and continued to bow down and salute: "Li Haochen, the minister of Liang Guogong, receives the order!" ”
Seeing Li Haochen turn around to receive the decree, the chamberlain was afraid that Li Haochen would regret it, so he hurriedly opened the decree and read it out: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Li Haochen was originally promoted from the end of the army when I was the prince, and appeared in the dukedom of the country, he should have been loyal to the monarch and the country, and shared his worries for me, but he didn't want to be a small man, and he had repeatedly separated the brotherhood between me and my brothers, and I repeatedly tolerated it, but he did not want to repent, and he should have redone his crimes!" But Nian has a lot of credit to the society, and now he deposes Li Haochen from all his positions, confiscates his family property, and moves out of the country mansion within a time limit! Chin this! ”
After announcing the decree, the chamberlain had just suffered Li Haochen's loss, and did not dare to stay again, so he hurried away, only Li Haochen and his wife were left in the front yard of the huge Guogong Mansion, Li Haochen helped Lu Tingting up and said: "Now that I have no official and no lord, will Mrs. regret following me?" ”
When Lu Pingting heard this, she took the initiative to hug Li Haochen and said: "Husband, don't say stupid things, when the concubine is with you, you are just a fourth-grade official, and the concubine follows the husband and doesn't want to be a big official, but simply likes the husband, you must know that as early as the previous dynasty, the general of the previous dynasty came to find his father to marry, and his father refused because he was still a concubine, my Lu family is a descendant of Wenhou, and I will never judge heroes by temporary success or failure!" The concubine believes that her husband will eventually rise again, even if her husband has no intention of becoming a concubine from now on, she is willing to follow her husband to be an idyllic couple. ”
Li Haochen hugged Lu Pingting tightly with his backhand and whispered in Lu Pingting's ear: "What more can you ask for if you have a wife like this!" The husband promises you that he will make you the most noble and happiest woman in the world! ”
Compared with the loneliness and desolation of the Guogong Mansion at this time, at this moment in Chang'an City because Li Haochen was deposed, but the storm is surging, first Li Haochen's mentor Weiguo Gong Li Jing angrily went to the emperor to theorize, and then hundreds of officers jointly wrote a letter to intercede for Li Haochen, but this kind of warm scene is just a flash in the pan, more people are punishing Li Haochen, some say that Li Haochen is harboring evil intentions, some people say that he is a villain, and even more said that he has already had an antipathy, fortunately, His Majesty is clear.
Li Haochen didn't care about this kind of gossip, he moved out of the Guogong Mansion with Lu Pingting three days after receiving the holy decree, and found a village that no one knew to live an idyllic life, and got up early every day to work in the fields at five watches, and Lu Pingting was ready to cook every day and looked at the field at the door of the house waiting for Li Haochen to go home, the neighbors only knew that the little couple who had just moved in was very affectionate, and they didn't know that the man who worked diligently in the fields every day was Li Haochen, the former Liang Guogong who made everyone known in the Tang Dynasty.
Three years have passed in a flash of peaceful pastoral life, Li Haochen did not wait for Li Shimin's rebellion, but waited for a piece of news, that is, one day in June of the ninth year of the Apocalypse, Emperor Li Jiancheng of the Apocalypse announced to the world, Emperor Taishang Li Yuanlong returned to heaven, edicted the world, and the whole country mourned and fasted for three months, Li Haochen was keenly aware that he had indeed miscalculated Li Shimin, and wanted to install an undercover agent in Yunzhou at the same time, Li Shimin had been operating in Chang'an for so many years, how could he have any henchmen? After all, if Li Yuan is still alive, even if the emperor is Li Jiancheng, if Li Shimin raises troops, he will not be able to run away from the notoriety of a son attacking his father, and it is naturally popular and difficult to make contributions, but if Li Yuan dies, it will be a brotherly dispute between him and Li Jiancheng, and it will not be mixed with the condemnation of ethics and morality, so naturally there is one less insurmountable shackle for him.
In July, a panicked figure in Chang'an City rushed into the main hall of the court meeting, and a news that shocked the government and the opposition instantly spread all over the world!
