Chapter 57: Pronouncement of Judgment

Of course, Li Haochen only learned about the death of his second son after he was released from prison, and when he first heard about it, Li Haochen was also embarrassed, of course, this is all a later story.

It is said that in the public court of Dali Temple, the eldest grandson Wuji has nothing to say, and the Dali Temple Qing announced the verdict loudly: "The eldest grandson Wuji instructed the second son to spread rumors in Chang'an, bewitching the people's hearts in the front, and then framing others, and involving the royal family, in order to cover up his crime and force the second son to die, the evidence is sufficient, and the facts of his crime are established. Li Haochen has nothing to do with this case, and is still sent back to the prison of Dali Temple, waiting for the Shengshang's decision! ”

After the verdict was announced, Li Haochen and the eldest grandson Wuji were taken back to prison. Eldest Sun Wuji was already dead at the moment, and he already knew what he was about to face. And Li Haochen has been nervous recently, and he can finally relax, he knows that he has successfully escaped another life and death catastrophe.

I don't know if it's because of the high efficiency of Dali Siqing, or whether it's that Li Yuan is decisive and decisive, the trial ended at noon, and before the time of Shen, the palace attendant brought the holy decree, and the chamberlain shouted: "Under the holy decree, Li Haochen, the eldest grandson Wuji took the decree!" The two hurriedly fell to the ground.

After the attendant saw the two of them kneeling, he still read out: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: The eldest grandson Wuji has repeatedly received the emperor's favor, and he does not think about reciprocating, but he spreads rumors, demagogues, frames colleagues, slanders the royal family, disregards human life, and kills people to protect himself. The mind of the eldest grandson Wuji is like a snake and scorpion, not killing is not enough to anger the people, not killing can not calm the hearts of the ministers, not killing and not to clear the law, the eldest grandson Wuji is specially sentenced to behead outside the north gate of Chang'an three days later, and the corpse will be violent for three days! Set an example!

Li Haochen, the minister of my shares, knows right from wrong, knows the number of etiquette, is actually the pillar of my Tang Dynasty, with the help of this virtuous minister, I am very relieved! However, because of the fault of the eldest grandson Wuji, the virtuous minister was unjustly imprisoned, which is the responsibility of my failure to investigate! I am deeply disturbed, and now I immediately release Li Haochen and see him in Taiji Palace! Chin this! ”

After the chamberlain read out the holy decree, he saw that the eldest grandson Wuji had collapsed to the ground, and after Li Haochen said a word of thanks, he got up. The chamberlain said: "General Li, Your Majesty is still waiting for you in the palace, do you see if you will follow me into the palace now?" ”

Li Haochen tidied up his clothes and said: "Father-in-law, I really dare not take the title of general, Your Majesty has removed me from my official position, and there is no intention of restoration in the holy decree." Li Haochen was imprisoned once, so that he had to be more careful so as not to fall into the hands of others.

The chamberlain smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty favors Lord Li so much, it is only a matter of time before Lord Li is reinstated!" Although the waiter said so, but the title was also secretly changed, the waiter is all serving the emperor, and he is extremely cautious in his words and deeds, he is afraid that others will catch the handle just now.

When Li Haochen heard this, he didn't have much communication with this chamberlain, but nodded slightly, preparing to follow this chamberlain into the palace to see Emperor Li Yuan.

Just as Li Haochen came out of the door of the cell, the eldest grandson Wuji stopped him, and the chamberlain was about to scold the eldest grandson Wuji, but was stopped by Li Haochen, he said: "Father-in-law, please rest outside, I'll come when I go!" Although the chamberlain was a little reluctant, he also knew that Li Haochen was now a person valued by the emperor, so he nodded and said, Lord Li, please hurry up, Your Majesty is still waiting for you, and left the cell.

Because the two of them were prisoners valued by the emperor before, there were only two people in the prison on this side, and as soon as the chamberlain went out, only Li Haochen and the eldest grandson Wuji were left in the cell.

Li Haochen spoke first: "Lord Eldest Sun, stop me, I don't know what to learn?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed and said: "I think I am good at calculation, but I didn't expect to be defeated by you repeatedly, the last time the Xuanwu Sect was like this, and this time it was like this, I am curious, why did I lose?" I know that my fate will not be long in coming, and please give me advice, so that Wuji can understand! ”

Li Haochen pondered for a moment and said: "I don't have much to say, I can only tell you, have a righteous heart, do the right way, and the benevolent are invincible!" Li Haochen's meaning is actually that the eldest grandson Wuji is not right-minded, so he fails.

The eldest grandson Wuji pondered this sentence repeatedly, and then said: "Everything in the world is a plan, only who has a clever strategy, how can you say this, since you don't want to say it, I don't ask for it, it is really the king of Qin who died in the sky, and actually let the prince's camp have more of you, otherwise the king of Qin would have inherited the crown prince at this moment." ”

Li Haochen saw that the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't understand what he meant at all, so he didn't talk to him anymore, Li Haochen finally left a cold sentence and left: "It's not that the sky is going to die Li Shimin, but that Li Shimin is going to die, the young and the young are orderly, the respect and the humility are long, as the second son, he vainly tries to kill his grandson and stand on his own, even if he succeeds, he is not allowed to fear the way of heaven, and he will inevitably lose his yang life!" You and Li Shimin have today's fate, it seems to be accidental, but it is inevitable! It's not because of my Li Haochen's ability, but because you are to blame, you can do it yourself! I don't think you're running out of time, it's time to reflect on yourself! ”

Li Haochen left without hesitation, leaving the eldest grandson Wuji facing his back and roaring wildly: "I don't accept it!" Li Haochen: I don't accept it! Even if I die, I will fight you to the end! But at this moment, the only thing that responded to the eldest grandson Wuji was the heavy echo in the cell.

When Li Haochen came out of the prison door, he saw that there were two other people with the inner servant at the same time. These two people are none other than the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the prince Xima Wei Zheng, Li Haochen thinks about it and has not seen these two people for nearly two months.

The crown prince Li Jiancheng spoke first: "Soon after you were imprisoned, my father asked me to go out of Tongguan to receive the Goryeo envoys with Mr. Wei. When Mr. Wei and I came back, we learned that so many things had happened in Chang'an City, Haochen, you have suffered, and Mr. Wei and I came to the Dali Temple prison today to personally pick you up from prison to apologize. ”

Li Haochen listened to Li Jiancheng's words, and hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are serious!" Haochen is fine! Just a few minor troubles, don't you see this has been solved? As for the apology, Haochen really doesn't dare to bear it! It is the duty of the minister to worry about the king, and it is the responsibility of the minister to let the king worry, and it is the responsibility of the minister, Don't worry about Your Highness, everything has passed! ”

Li Jiancheng didn't say anything when he heard this, he was moved in his heart, in fact, Li Jiancheng went to pick up the Goryeo envoys, but it was true that he didn't go for two months, but only half a month. But when he came back, the rumors were uncontrollable, and he wanted to help Li Haochen but didn't know where to start, so he never dared to see Li Haochen because he felt a little guilty, but Li Haochen didn't blame him, but explained him, which made him really moved.

Wei Zheng and the prince have the same heart, and besides, he is humble and light-hearted, and he can't enter the prison of this Dali Temple at all. Hearing Li Haochen say this at this moment, his heart suddenly felt a little better.

While talking, a few people talked and laughed, and followed the chamberlain to the palace to see Emperor Li Yuan.
