Chapter 86: See Yuan Tiangang
After Li Haochen finished the cotton matter, he went to Li Jing's mansion and returned the 1,000 taels of gold that he had borrowed from Li Jing to Li Jing, of course, the most important thing to go to Li Jing's mansion this time was to send Li Juaner her part of fifteen times the gold, Li Haochen really didn't expect that Li Juan'er, a lady, was actually an out-and-out money fan, when she saw a box of gold that Li Haochen gave her, her eyes seemed to be like money, so that Li Haochen didn't pay much attention to Li Haochen when she said goodbye, which made Li Haochen shake his head helplessly for a while.
Li Haochen gave Lu Tong the remaining nearly 10,000 taels of gold, and when Lu Tong saw the gold, his eyes almost fell to the ground, and he muttered: "The general is really a god!" Li Haochen didn't pay attention to his muttering, but told him to put away the gold, and in a few days, he would tell him what the money was for, and it was already the afternoon of the next day, Li Haochen returned to his mansion, preparing to go to the prince's east palace tomorrow to see what the prince was looking for him the day before yesterday.
Early the next morning, Li Haochen got up early, went out of the house after washing, and prepared to go to the prince's East Palace. "The voice is somewhat slightly cold.
Li Haochen knew that he had had less contact with Li Jiancheng recently, and he was afraid that Li Jiancheng would have any opinions on him, so he hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Minister Li Haochen, meet His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a thousand years old!" In Li Haochen's words, the reason why he did not bring his official position and title was because it showed his closeness to Li Jiancheng, and giving such a formal gift was to show that although he had not contacted Li Jiancheng for a long time, he was surrendered to Li Jiancheng in his heart.
Sure enough, Li Haochen's big gift, Li Jiancheng still had a serious face just now, and suddenly said with a smile: "You, hurry up!" There are no outsiders, so you and I don't have to make this big gift! ”
Li Haochen listened to Li Jiancheng's words, looking at his attitude, Li Haochen knew that he was doing the right thing, there was always no contact in a good relationship, and it would fade after a long time, he knew very well that Li Jiancheng was his backer in Datang, and it was obviously not enough for this backer to rely on interests alone, Li Jiancheng was the prince, the future monarch of the Tang Dynasty, and he knew very well that it was inevitable to wait for the king's feelings to be maintained, because they were supreme beings, and they were too empty emotionally. Gaining the trust of the king is the way for the courtiers to survive in this feudal society.
Li Haochen stood up and said, "Etiquette must not be abolished!" The prince's words frustrated his subordinates! ”
Li Jiancheng laughed when he heard this: "Okay, you Haochen, when did you pay so much attention to etiquette!" Li Jiancheng couldn't help but think that Li Haochen beat Li Tai, beat Wei Chi Gong, and beat Li Shimin, saying that he paid attention to etiquette, and the ghost believed him, but seeing Li Haochen surrender to himself so much, Li Jiancheng was still quite satisfied in his heart.
After listening to Li Jiancheng's half-joking rhetorical question, Li Haochen hurriedly replied: "The minister has always been polite to His Highness, His Highness went to find His Highness the day before yesterday, I don't know what he wanted the minister to do, His Majesty has just finished the matter of collecting cotton, and he hurriedly came to you to report!" Li Haochen went straight to the point, he didn't know what Li Jiancheng wanted him to do, and he also explained what he did if he didn't come over immediately in the past two days, so as not to make Li Jiancheng suspicious and suspect that he didn't pay attention to Li Jiancheng's words.
Li Jiancheng nodded when he heard this: "State affairs are important, I know that you have a lot of things recently, and I asked you to come over to discuss with you, about the disappearance of the eldest grandson Wuji in the prison of Dali Temple, I know that my father has explained this matter to you, I don't know what you think about it?" ”
As soon as Li Haochen heard Li Jiancheng's words, he still didn't understand, and now he was asking him what he thought, obviously Li Jiancheng had some ideas, and Li Haochen, who understood it, hurriedly said: "I've been busy harvesting cotton these days, I haven't investigated this matter yet, I heard what His Highness meant, did His Highness find something?" Haochen also asked His Highness to make it clear! ”
Li Jiancheng looked at Li Haochen and understood the meaning of his words, nodded with satisfaction: "I didn't find anything, but I know that this matter must be implicated, but do you know that the hundred officials in Chang'an have just experienced the impact of the Xuanwumen incident and experienced the storm of rumors, and the officialdom of Chang'an can no longer withstand the toss, I don't want to have any more officialdom earthquakes, do you understand?" ”
Li Jiancheng's meaning is obvious, that is, he hopes that Li Haochen will not make a big fuss and not be too implicated, otherwise everyone will inevitably be in danger, and if he has no intention of politics, it will inevitably affect the development of Datang.
Li Haochen understood what Li Jiancheng meant, and he also admired the prince's open-mindedness in his heart, obviously this was the best opportunity to suppress Li Shimin's remnants, but listening to Li Jiancheng's meaning, it seemed that for the sake of the stability of the situation in the DPRK and China, he didn't want to pursue this matter too much, Li Haochen thought about it clearly, nodded and said: "The prince is generous and benevolent, Haochen admires!" Haochen found out the truth of the matter, only caught the culprit, and the rest of the people waited for him, and reported to His Highness secretly, please make a decision! ”
Li Jiancheng looked at Li Haochen and understood what he meant, so he smiled and said nothing, nodded slightly, and didn't say anything.
At this time, Li Haochen said again: "Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is generous and benevolent, some people do not necessarily understand His Highness's mind, although His Royal Highness's orders, Haochen does not dare not carry them out, but please do not miss this opportunity to purge the remnants of the repentance!" Haochen is all there is to say! ”
Li Jiancheng listened to Li Haochen's words, sighed and said: "Haochen, I didn't know that this was an opportunity, but you must know that if the situation is turbulent and causes panic because of this, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses!" ”
Li Haochen looked at Li Jiancheng and seemed to have made up his mind, but as a person on the same boat, he had to persuade again: "I heard that serious illness still needs heavy medicine, otherwise the symptoms will not be cured, and in the end, it will be difficult to return to be difficult to treat, please think twice!" ”
Li Jiancheng knew that Li Haochen was for his good, but he couldn't gamble with the Tang Dynasty, Li Jiancheng sighed again and said: "Haochen, I have made up my mind, don't be persuasive!" I believe that these people will be able to reform themselves and use them for my own use! After all, they are all ministers of the Tang Dynasty, if they really die in the palace battle, I can't bear it! ”
Li Haochen sighed secretly, and said in his heart: "This prince is good at everything, but his heart is too soft!" Less courage, more benevolence, I hope Li Jiancheng's benevolence can move these old stubborns, otherwise, Li Jiancheng is benevolent, he Li Haochen is not easy to mess with! He didn't mind helping the prince get rid of these stumbling blocks at all! ”
