After Li Haochen was instructed by Li Jing, he followed Li Jing and the chamberlain all the way to the palace, and when they arrived at the palace, the two entered the Taiji Palace.

Li Yuangao sat behind the imperial case and looked at the two with a smile, Li Yuan was obviously in a very good mood now, after the two of them saluted Li Yuan, Li Yuan looked at the two with a smile and said, "Pharmacist, Haochen, you two have worked hard this time!" Haochen, your deputy general Wang Jing died in battle, I will take care of his family, you don't have to worry! ”

When Li Haochen heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "The minister is the king, thank you for your majesty's mercy!" ”

Li Yuan asked Li Haochen to get up and said to Li Haochen: "Haochen, I have two things that I need to hand over to you to do, are you willing to share my worries?" ”

To tell the truth, Li Haochen, a lazy person, what he wants most at the moment is to find a place to rest, but how dare he disobey the king's order, Li Yuan is talking to him, but Li Haochen knows that if he dares to say half a word, he will definitely die miserably!

Li Haochen, who knew the emperor's heart deeply, hurriedly said: "It is the honor of the ministers to share the worries of Your Majesty, please give your Majesty's orders!" ”

Li Yuan looked at Li Haochen's expression was quite sincere, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Here's the thing, the eldest grandson Wuji disappeared in the prison of Dali Temple, I want to send you to find out the ins and outs of this matter, are you willing?" ”

When Li Haochen heard this, he immediately said: "Do you still need to check this?" It must be ......" Li Haochen stopped talking halfway through, he wanted to say that it must be Li Shimin's bastard who made the ghost, but when he thought about it now, he couldn't talk in front of the emperor, not to mention that Li Shimin was still the emperor's own son, thinking so, he closed his mouth halfway through the words.

Li Yuan listened to his words, oh and said, "Who is it?" You know? ”

Li Haochen hurriedly replied: "The minister just has a guess, and there is no evidence, so he doesn't dare to speak in front of His Majesty." ”

Li Yuan was satisfied with Li Haochen's rigor, nodded and said, "Then you can show it to me, and report it to me!" I want to see who is so bold! Treat the laws of the state as nothing! ”

As Li Yuan's words landed, even if this matter fell on Li Haochen's head, Li Haochen also felt a little headache in his heart about this matter, but since Li Yuan said that it was two things, Li Haochen also wanted to hear what the second thing was, if it was still so tricky, Li Haochen probably had the heart to cry.

Thinking like this, Li Haochen opened his mouth and asked: "Your Majesty, I don't know what the second thing is for Your Majesty's ministers, what is it?" ”

Li Yuan listened to Li Haochen's words, and sighed a little helplessly: "This second thing is like this, I promised to give the Eastern Turks 400,000 catties of cotton, you also know that this cotton is not a strategic reserve material in my Datang, I ordered someone to go to the vicinity of Chang'an to collect, who knows near Chang'an, I don't know why there is not a single or two cotton for sale, and now the time is urgent, and then transferred from other places, it must be too late, so I want you to think of a way, I must prepare 400,000 catties of cotton within ten days at all costs, I don't want to lose my trust in front of barbarian foreigners, can you do it? ”

After Li Haochen heard Li Yuan's words, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, in this matter, he himself is the person behind the scenes, needless to say, where is the cotton of his natural way, it must be in the hands of Lu Tong, who arranged it early in the morning. But at this moment, Li Yuan asked him to do this, he was actually quite embarrassed in his heart, the difficulty was that the scale of this price was not high, Li Yuan would definitely not agree, and it was not low, he would feel that he had worked in vain for a long time, which made him a little difficult to master. Therefore, he must know what Li Yuan's bottom line is at this moment.

Thinking like this, Li Haochen said: "Your Majesty, what is the price of cotton in Chang'an now?" At what price? ”

Li Yuan took a deep breath when he heard this: "Haochen, you don't know, now the price of cotton in Chang'an is ten times that of a few days ago, but I still haven't accepted the sale to me, I will give you a scale, at most it cannot exceed fifteen times, you can control the specific price yourself!" I believe in you! ”

After Li Haochen got Li Yuan's affirmative answer, he had a bottom in his heart, and he asked Li Yuan to leave the palace, and Li Jing also left the Taiji Hall with Li Haochen.

Li Jing wrote a note to Li Yuan about Li Shimin's collusion with the Eastern Turkic invasion, and did not show it in person, Li Jing has been an official for decades, and naturally he has read the experience, this kind of thing, if it comes out, it needs the emperor to give a clear face-to-face answer, and the fold can make the emperor have a buffer, there is no need to reply directly, it involves Li Shimin, that is the emperor's own son, Li Jing also has to think more, has to be cautious.

Sure enough, after Li Yuan got it and looked at it, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and he only said to Li Jing, I knew, so there was no follow-up, and Li Jing didn't dare to say anything, so there was no follow-up for the time being.

Li Haochen and Li Jing were about to go back to the Li Mansion, because he wanted to see Lu Huanting's situation very much now, and the master and apprentice chatted with each other along the way.

Li Haochen asked Li Jing first: "Master, what do you think Your Majesty will do with Li Shimin?" The two of them were in Li Jing's carriage, and there were only the two of them in it, otherwise Li Haochen would not dare to ask so directly if he violated such a taboo.

Li Jing shook his head and said: "I don't know, but after all, regret and Your Majesty are father and son, as the so-called tiger poison does not eat children, I think Your Majesty may not be ruthless at this moment." But I definitely won't indulge him like this, I think Your Majesty is now at the critical point of father-son affection and national prosperity, if you regret it and settle down and stop doing things, Your Majesty will definitely not pursue it, but if you don't know what to do, I don't think Your Majesty will not be a killer! ”

After listening to Li Jing's words, Li Haochen agreed very much, nodded and said, "Master Gao Zhi, Haochen and Master have the same opinion!" It looks like there may be a big mess in the future! Li Haochen said with some emotion.

Li Jing listened to his words, but shook his head and said: "No, this sky can't fall, the chaos has been in chaos for a long time, the people's hearts yearn for peace, if you really dare to do something rebellious and rebellious, I'm afraid there are very few people in the world, and you will definitely not be able to turn over the big storm!" ”

Li Haochen thought carefully about Li Jing's words, and thought that Li Jing really saw things more thoroughly, and he was still much better than him, and then Li Haochen nodded and said: "What the master said is very true, Haochen is not as good as him!" In the future, please teach Master more! ”

Li Jing looked at Li Haochen with a smile, was very satisfied with Li Haochen's performance, nodded, and didn't say anything more, the two came to the Li Mansion unconsciously, as soon as Li Haochen and Li Jing entered the door, the red whisk girl greeted Li Jing and said hello to Li Haochen, Li Haochen hurriedly returned the salute, and then asked the red whisk girl: "Master, where is Miss Lu?" I want to meet her! ”

Hearing this, the red-haired girl sighed and said, "Haochen, I'm afraid this Miss Lu won't want to see you now!" ”
