Chapter 8: The Prince Washes the Horse - Wei Zheng
When Li Haochen heard Li Jiancheng's words, he knew that this prince was going to beat him, if he really wanted to kill him, he probably wouldn't have saved him just now, but as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, this king's mind is the most difficult to guess, and Li Haochen has to deal with it carefully.
He pondered slightly and said: "Back to Your Highness, your subordinates don't know, and I hope Your Highness will make it clear!" Li Haochen didn't know what Li Jiancheng meant, so he simply pretended to be confused.
Li Jiancheng saw that this kid obviously had a ghost in his heart, and he still refused to admit it, so he snorted and said, "You really don't know what you're thinking?" You used me to accomplish your feat of saving people, do you really think that this prince doesn't know your intentions? Are you guilty? ”
Li Haochen immediately put on an expression of sudden realization and said, "It turns out that this is the case!" If this is the case, the subordinates are not guilty, the prince said this matter, do you want to reward the subordinates? Then don't use it, it's within the scope of the subordinates to share the prince's worries, and the prince doesn't need to be rewarded! ”
Li Haochen's nonsense instantly made Li Jiancheng happy, and he also had a strong interest in this kid in his heart, after all, he dared to beat the son of King Qin on the street, no matter what his starting point was, at least he was a good man.
Li Jiancheng stared at Li Haochen for a long time and said, "Then you should tell me, why should I reward you?" Why are you not guilty? ”
When Li Haochen heard Li Jiancheng's words, he probably wouldn't punish him, so he hurriedly said: "The prince was already displeased when he saw King Wei riding on the street, and he wanted to stop King Wei beating the injured, but his subordinates saw what His Royal Highness the prince meant, so they were ordered to stop King Wei!" Prince, do you say that your subordinates are only merit and no fault in doing this? ”
Li Jiancheng snorted coldly when he heard this: "What a kid who has made sense of the previous words, take it left and right and put it in prison first, and Prince Rongben will interrogate him carefully when he has time!" Where did Li Haochen know about his words, he just said Li Jiancheng's taboo, the king of the ancients, the most hated thing is to figure out what he wants, but he likes people who can understand what he thinks, but this kind of thing is taboo to say it in public, Li Haochen, who is just a college student in the twenty-fourth century, he is not very clear about this, he still thinks about the idea that everyone is equal and reasonable. However, at this moment, he is already in a feudal society, not a world where everyone is equal, and the superior has the majesty of the superior, how can he touch it.
After Li Haochen heard Li Jiancheng's words, he was also shocked in his heart, he knew that he must have said the wrong thing, this may probably be called happiness and sadness! But at this moment, Li Haochen hadn't figured out what he had offended the prince with that sentence, and he didn't dare to speak now, for fear of angering the prince again and losing his life.
Although he is not politically savvy, he is not stupid, and at the moment he is thinking about how he can save the situation and why he will anger the prince.
Li Jiancheng didn't say anything to him again, but took a group of people to escort Li Haochen and walked in the direction of the East Palace, obviously, the identity of the prince was exposed, and Li Jiancheng could no longer inspect Chang'an according to his original ideas, so he could only return to the East Palace stupidly.
The group had just arrived at the gate of the East Palace, and a chamberlain hurriedly ran over and said to Li Jiancheng: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Mr. Wei is here, I have been waiting for you for a long time, and I said that I have something important to discuss with you!" ”
When Li Jiancheng heard this, he knew that something big must have happened, so he hurriedly let the chamberlain lead the way, and hurriedly walked to his study.
Pity Li Haochen, who was heroically saving people just now, left in a hurry at this moment because the prince had something to do, and the remaining sergeants, because of Li Haochen's unexpected performance just now, leaked their faces in front of the prince, and they were very jealous in their hearts, so they naturally wouldn't give Li Haochen good fruit to eat, and the small actions in the open and secret made Li Haochen very uncomfortable, until he was escorted to the prison, Li Haochen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, at least he didn't have to be tortured by these guys.
Sitting in the prison of the barracks, no one paid attention to him, and Li Haochen did not shout and scream like other prisoners, but sat quietly in the corner of the cell.
He was thinking, who could Mr. Wei be? Where did you offend the prince? What will happen if the prince hurriedly ran over? He needs to figure it out one by one.
In fact, on the way back from these soldiers, he figured it out, and he was familiar with history books, and he quickly found the answer in historical allusions, and at this moment he already knew where he was wrong. After thinking about it, he deeply knows that in this environment, there are some things you can only do but not say, if you have done merit, you have done it, and if you say it, you have passed, and there are some things that you just say you can't do.
When Li Haochen was still thinking about how to get out of this embarrassing situation, an elderly man who was about fifty years old came to the prison, and I saw that he was dressed in a cloth robe, with a plump body, a wisp of beard on his chin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a big nose and ears, a big mouth and thick lips, and he walked elegantly.
The jailer ran over to Li Haochen at this time and said, "You kid is so fateful, Mr. Wei has come to see you!" ”
When Li Haochen heard this, he sorted out the historical celebrities of the Tang Dynasty in his heart, and at this moment, in the prince's camp, the person surnamed Wei and was still respectfully called Mr. was about to come out, and this person was probably Wei Zheng, who was the prince at the time. This person is a legendary figure, persuaded Xu Shiji (later Li Ji), helped Li Jiancheng capture Liu Heimin, and pacified Shandong. Li Haochen also has a lot of respect for this person in his heart, because Wei Zheng is also not afraid of power and only fights right and wrong, which Li Haochen recognizes very much.
He saluted the person who came and said, "My subordinate Li Haochen has seen Mr. Wei!" "Wei Zheng is now the prince washing horses, and he is a subordinate official of the prince's East Palace, and Li Haochen is a small soldier led by the left guard of the prince's East Palace, and it is okay for Wei Zheng to claim to be a subordinate.
Wei Zheng looked at Li Haochen, and after a while, he laughed and said, "It's really a hero out of a young man!" Do you recognize me? ”
Li Haochen said respectfully to Wei Zheng: "You must be the prince washing the horse Mr. Wei Zheng, your famous subordinates are like thunder!" ”
Listening to Li Haochen tell his identity, Wei Zheng suddenly had a great impression of Li Haochen.
However, one second Wei Zheng was still talking to Li Haochen with a smile, and the next second his face turned black and shouted: "Li Haochen, are you guilty?" ”
Li Haochen was clever when he heard this, and said cautiously: "The subordinates know their mistakes, they should not try to guess the prince's intentions, and act without the prince's orders, which will damage the prince's majesty!" Li Haochen understood how he offended Li Jiancheng, and he was honest at the moment, not daring to talk nonsense, and honestly admitting his mistake.
Wei Zheng nodded when he heard this, and said with a cold face: "Pull out this person who doesn't obey the order and acts without permission, and take out the heavy eighty military sticks!" ”
