Chapter 45: Proving Innocence
Li Haochen listened to Li Yuanji's words, frowned, and said, "Who are you seeing?" ”
"You'll know when you get there!" Li Yuanji snorted coldly, then turned his head and stopped paying attention to Li Haochen, obviously because he was still worried about Li Haochen scolding him in prison just now.
Li Haochen looked at Li Yuanji's expression, and didn't dare to ask any more, for fear of angering this reckless man, and really giving himself a sword, then he would really die unjustly!
Li Haochen was very curious in his heart who this person was, could it be Wei Zheng? Or Zhang Han, or the prince? I really can't think about it, but if I can ask King Qi for help, it is more likely that this person should be the crown prince, and the other two people have no such possibility. Also, what did this person do when he saw him, thinking about the fact that there was less than a month before the date of the autumn duel, what was the point of letting him come out now? And he has to bear the charge of escaping from prison, and he has to implicate King Qi, which is very unreasonable in Li Haochen's opinion, and he is really puzzled.
Li Haochen shook his head, threw his complicated thoughts out of his head, thinking that if he came, he would be safe, and when he arrived, he would know it, so he didn't think about it anymore, leaned his head on the carriage, and fell asleep again. And the snoring was like thunder, which made Li Yuanji next to him angry, and almost didn't lift him off the carriage with a kick, Li Yuanji secretly said in his heart: "This dead fat man, his heart is really big, I don't know if it is me or him who is going to be executed, how do you feel that I am more nervous than him?" ”
After about a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped, and Li Haochen was kicked awake by the angry Li Yuanji, rubbing his sleepy eyes and saying, "Have you arrived?" Where is this? ”
Li Yuanji looked at his state, and said secretly in his heart: "Why haven't I heard from my eldest brother before, this dead fat man is so sleepy?" In fact, Li Haochen can't be blamed for this, Li Haochen generally encounters annoying things, and there are two solutions, one is to eat and the other is to sleep. He often said that there is no trouble when he is full, and he is not troubled when he is asleep. It's no wonder that he is the figure he is today.
Li Yuanji looked at Li Haochen, he was really angry, and said angrily: "Yin Cao Difu!" Get out! ”
Li Haochen knew that Li Yuanji was angry with him, and he didn't dare to say anything to stimulate him, thinking that he was coming, so he got out of the car. As soon as Li Haochen got out of the car, he saw that this was a house without a plaque, which was very large, about thousands of square meters. The greenery in the courtyard is very elegant, some of which resemble the style of a Soviet-style garden.
Li Yuanji led the way in front, Li Haochen followed honestly, passed through the main hall of the house, and came to a side room.
I saw that this was an old man who had passed the age of knowing the mandate of heaven, this old man was slightly fat, dressed in a black Tang suit, with gold wire textures on the cuffs of his clothes, carrying a belt inlaid with Hetian jade on his waist, wearing a crown of heaven, with bright eyebrows, towering cheekbones, a high nose and wide wings, and a faint smile on his face, it was Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
When Li Haochen saw that it was Li Yuan, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "The criminal minister Li Haochen, see His Majesty the Emperor!" ”
Li Yuan looked at Li Haochen with a smile on his face and said, "Get up!" ”
After Li Haochen got up, he was thinking, what did this emperor Li Yuan summon him for? He looked at Li Yuanji with some doubts, and Li Yuanji shook his head, saying that he didn't know what was going on.
At this time, Li Yuan put away the smile on his face and said, "Li Haochen, are you guilty?" Li Haochen is clever in his heart, as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, this emperor really said that he would turn his face! He was smiling very kindly at the last moment, but at this moment he was angry at him.
However, in these days in prison, Li Haochen also knew why Li Yuan was angry with him, and hurriedly said: "The criminal is guilty!" The criminal minister should not be in Xuanwumen without authorization, but the matter is urgent, the criminal minister is responsible for the prince's safety of the guard, naturally to ensure the safety of the prince, and I hope that Your Majesty will look at the criminal minister's dedication to protect the lord, and he will be punished lightly! In Li Haochen's heart, there has never been any integrity, he has been an orphan since he was a child, and he deeply understands a truth, that is, a big husband can bend and stretch, he must be soft when he should be soft, and he must intercede when he should intercede.
Li Yuan sighed and said, "If it's just such a thing, for the sake of your loyal protector, I can spare you once and don't care about you!" But this creates rumors, seriously hurts the court and me, troubles the people, makes the court lose its trust, and makes me humiliated! I can't forgive you for this! ”
When Li Haochen heard this, he hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said: "Your Majesty said this, you really wronged the guilty minister, that is, you gave the criminal 10,000 guts, and the criminal minister did not dare to incite the people and seriously hurt Your Majesty and the court!" And the sinner just wants to save himself, and he can't use such a stupid method! This can only make His Majesty angry with the guilty ministers, and make the guilty ministers die in vain! ”
Hearing this, Li Yuan nodded slowly and said, "What you said does have some truth!" But you say it wasn't you who spread the rumor, who could it be? ”
Li Haochen didn't think about it and said: "Of course it's the bastard bastard's turtle grandson Li ......" Li Haochen wanted to say, of course, it's the bastard's bastard turtle grandson Li Shimin, but he only remembered that in front of other people's Lao Tzu, he said that his son was a turtle grandson, and this Lao Tzu was still the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, isn't that the rhythm of looking for death?
So he hurriedly changed his words: "Who is it?" The sinners don't know either! Please give your majesty some time, and the guilty will definitely be able to find out who is lying to confuse the public! ”
Li Yuan's eyes flashed, and a treacherous expression flashed on his face: "Okay, I'll give you some time, there is less than a month before the autumn decision, before that, if you can find out about this matter, find evidence, and prove your innocence!" I will forgive you, and if you cannot prove your innocence within this time, this month will be your last month on earth! For your sake of cheapness, I will give you a secret decree! Time is running out, and I hope you can take advantage of it! "This secret decree is that you can't get the holy decree on the surface, there is neither a big treasure nor a storage seal, that is, you say that he is a holy decree, and it is indeed written by the emperor. But if things don't go well, the emperor can deny it in an instant, and this holy decree will be like waste paper, so this is really a chicken rib for Li Haochen, tasteless food, and it is a pity to abandon it, but at this moment, it is better than nothing for Li Haochen.
Li Yuan has actually been in the palace all the time, and he has no clue about the rumors, and then he thought that this Li Haochen had a lot of ghost ideas, and even his second son Li Shimin, who has always been good at calculation, was calculated by Li Haochen, so he wanted Li Haochen to deal with this matter, but he was afraid that this kid would deal with the matter, so he first had the holy decree of beheading, and then there was today's dialogue, which can only say that Jiang is still old and spicy.
When Li Yuan said what he said just now, Li Haochen understood that all this was Li Yuan's calculation, and he was fooled, but what could he do at this moment? The little arm can't twist the thigh, so I can only endure it, hoping that I can find the murderer behind the scenes in this month's time, and there is enough evidence to prove it.
