Li Shimin agrees with Li Hao's comments, but even so, Li Shimin still can't get those old things from their positions, even if he is a heavenly khan, he doesn't have the courage to risk the world's disapproval, Li Shimin is most afraid of others poking his backbone, his barbaric and violent way of taking the throne has made him poke in the backbone for many years, no matter how hard he tries to be a good emperor, there are still people talking behind his back, he is fed up.

Li Shimin pondered for a long time, decided to divert the topic, and said slowly: "You are young but have unique eyesight, and your comments are very pertinent, poet maniac, do you think this Li Chengtian, I should deal with it like this?" ”

Li Hao couldn't help but sigh secretly when he heard this, he actually expected Li Shimin to react like this, he knew Li Shimin too well, he knew that Li Shimin couldn't get rid of those rotten Confucians in the court, so he simply followed Li Shimin's topic, and replied: "Your Majesty, rebellion has been a capital crime since ancient times, and it is punished, this Weichen has nothing to suggest." ”

Li Shimin said with a worried face: "Li Chengtian's identity is special, and it is not easy to deal with, if he is killed with a knife, I am afraid that someone will mention the matter of Xuanwumen again." ”

Li Hao was overjoyed when he heard this, Li Shimin actually took the initiative to mention the Xuanwumen incident to himself, what does this mean, it shows that he has regarded Li Hao as his own person, Li Hao is naturally very happy, after a little thought, he said: "Your Majesty, the matter of Xuanwumen, no wonder Your Majesty, Your Majesty was also forced to be helpless, just to protect himself." ”

Li Shimin was surprised when he heard this, he never let others mention this matter, he didn't expect Li Hao to be so clear about the reason for the initiation of the Xuanwumen Incident, he would naturally be surprised, and the answer given by Li Hao did make him very satisfied, yes, he was forced, if he hadn't launched the Xuanwumen Incident to get rid of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji first, then he would have died, but people only saw the facts in front of them, sympathized with Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and scolded him for killing his brother and brother, but no one has ever experienced his suffering, Li Hao was the first person who dared to say such things to him.

Li Shimin sighed a lot for a while, and suddenly felt that Li Hao's kid looked so pleasing to the eye, he was silent for a long time, nodded and said: "Li Chengtian's matter, I will deal with it properly, now I want to talk about you, I heard that you have experienced great risks in this disaster management and rebellion, and the young slave sent a report to tell me, saying that you are actually missing, and I suspect that you were taken away by the rebels, but is there such a thing?" ”

Li Hao nodded and said: "Back to Your Majesty, yes, Weichen was indeed taken captive by the rebels to their camp, and they tried in vain to recruit Weichen and let Weichen help them rebel." ”

"Oh?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "How did you answer?" ”

Li Hao said: "Weichen never spoke to their people from beginning to end, and kept pretending to be unconscious, and then escaped with the help of a chivalrous woman. ”

"Heroines?" Li Shimin became more and more interested when he heard this, and spread his hands and said, "Tell me carefully, how the chivalrous girl of the rivers and lakes helped you escape." ”

Li Hao had already thought of a made-up version of the escape story on the way back, and even if he started to tell it, it was actually similar to the original story of his escape, but on the other hand, it was the silver fox who saved him, and at the same time robbed Li Chengtian and fled into the mountains, as for why the silver fox was in the rebel camp, that was the original story.

After listening to this, Li Shimin brushed his beard and muttered: "This silver fox heroine can get lost and know her way back, but it is rare, it is indeed the straightforward temperament of the children of the rivers and lakes, alas, the children of the rivers and lakes still think of the people, and those who are in important positions do not care about the livelihood of all people. ”

Li Hao took the opportunity to pat himself on the back and said, "Your Majesty is so introspective, it is beyond the reach of the kings of the ages, and Weichen feels that the real prosperity will come sooner or later." ”

"I hope so." Li Shimin smiled slightly and said, "Poetry madness, you have made a contribution to quelling the rebellion this time, but I don't want to reward you, so it is better to give you a Hou Mansion and reward you with the two hundred Zuo Wuwei as a nursing home." ”

Li Hao was stunned when he heard this, the two hundred Zuo Wuwei in his mouth naturally referred to the two hundred Xuanjia Army led by Chen Bin, and the two hundred Zuo Wuwei had always been ordered to protect Li Hao, but Li Shimin now said that he would reward Li Hao as a nurse, that is to say, in the future, these two hundred Zuo Wuwei will be removed from the army and directly become Li Hao's person, and he will no longer be Li Shimin's person.

Although he was happy, he still had to pretend to be frightened, and said: "Your Majesty, you must not, how can Weichen afford such a reward, and this time to control the disaster and suppress the rebellion, Zuo Wuwei has made a great contribution, and he should be rewarded, how can he not be rewarded instead." ”

"Their reward, I will benefit their family, poetry maniac, you don't have to refuse, I reward them for you, it's not a momentary mood." Li Shimin sighed heavily, and said slowly, "It's really luck that you can escape this time, maybe your luck will be so good in the future, I ...... I don't want to see you have an accident, you yourself have said it, you are a capable minister, my Jiangshan Sheji still expects you to guide, and when I am gone, I will leave you to my son, my grandson, so you must live well, this time you have destroyed the Boling Cui clan, and you have already stabbed the hornet's nest, and in the future, the group of gate lords will regard you as a thorn in the side, you must be careful, come clearly, I can protect you, but I am afraid that the dark arrow is difficult to prevent. ”

Li Hao's face was solemn, and he stood up and said: "Your Majesty is mighty, and Weichen will definitely bow to death after that." ”

Li Shimin said slowly: "You are stabbing this hornet's nest for me, I naturally want to try my best to protect you, after you go back tomorrow, you will stay at home and don't come out, the recent peace between the DPRK and China, you avoid the limelight." ”

"Yes." Li Hao bowed his head, and when he lowered his head, he saw the braised pork in the bowl at a glance, as if he had a physiological reaction, and his stomach growled uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Li Shimin laughed and said: "Look, I patronize and talk to you about something, come, eat, eat, eat without sleeping." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Hao hurriedly picked up his chopsticks, ate wildly, and didn't eat lunch after a day's journey, but he was starved.

After eating, it was already late, the city gate was closed, and Li Shimin sent someone to send Li Hao back to Taibai Building.

Early the next morning, coinciding with the small court meeting, Li Shimin summoned the ministers to the court in the Liangyi Palace, and today's court meeting is destined to be not peaceful.

At the court meeting, many ministers impeached Li Hao, including many people from other clans of the Cui family, they did not know that the evidence of the Cui family's rebellion had already been conclusive, because they did not receive any news from the old lady Cui, thinking that Li Hao had made something out of nothing.

Li Shimin temporarily forbeared, and after everyone submitted the impeachment of Li Hao, he counted it, a total of twenty-three, Li Shimin's face was ugly, and then the evidence of Cui's rebellion was presented one by one, and finally, Li Zhi, the king of Jin, also went to the Liangyi Palace to testify, Cui's openly rebelled, and wanted to kill people with two thousand dead soldiers, and he was ready to kill the king of Jin together.

The ministers were all stunned when they heard this, they knew that the matter of the Cui clan seemed to be unable to make waves, Li Shimin was furious, and ordered all the officials related to the Boling Cui clan in the court to be dismissed from their posts, and taken to the prison of the Criminal Department, and the Cui clan was tried together with the three divisions.

Then he began to reward Li Hao and Li Zhi for their meritorious work in fighting disasters and quelling rebellions, and Li Shimin ordered to reward Li Hao with two hundred left military guards as his personal companions, escort Li Hao thoroughly, and reward Li Hao with a mansion in Chang'an. Reward Li Zhi's palace one.

Soon after the dispersal of the dynasty, Li Hao received the results of the court meeting, and when he learned that all the officials of the Cui clan were questioned, he was not too surprised, which was expected.

got the news he wanted, Li Hao waited for morning tea in Taibai Building, waiting for Chen Bin and two hundred Zuo Wuwei, but he didn't expect that Chen Bin had not yet arrived, but the eldest grandson Wuji came.

After the eldest grandson Wuji entered the Taibai Building, he directly found the shopkeeper and said, "The old man, the eldest grandson Wuji, come to see Li Xianhou." ”

The shopkeeper is Yao Dafu, whose hometown is in Jinshui Town, is Hu Laohan's brother-in-law, and Li Hao is also an old acquaintance, after all, Li Hao will first settle in Taibai Building every time he comes to Chang'an.

Yao Dafu has been in Chang'an for several years, and he has naturally seen a lot of those dignitaries and nobles in Chang'an, and has heard more, the eldest grandson Wuji's name has long been like thunder, and as soon as he heard that the eldest grandson Wuji wanted to see their marquis, he hurriedly sent someone upstairs to inform him.

Li Hao was having morning tea in the Tianzi No. 1 private room, when he suddenly heard such a news, and hurriedly went downstairs to greet the eldest grandson Wuji.

The eldest grandson Wuji stood in front of the counter, looking at the legendary Taibai Building, although he had long heard of the name of Taibai Building, but it was the first time to come, he found that this Taibai Building was really special, and the decoration style was not quite the same as other restaurants, and he couldn't say what was the difference.

It's not yet noon, there are already a lot of guests in Taibai Building, they are eating breakfast, most of the people who can come here to eat breakfast are rich people, and only rich people get up late, get up late and eat breakfast late, Taibai Building's breakfast is also a unique in the world, what donkey rolling, what egg tarts, fried milk, Huangqiao baked cakes...... Anyway, it's all kinds of tricks, and it's all delicious, it's just too expensive, and ordinary people really can't afford it, and only rich people can afford it.

Smelling the smell of incense all over the house, the eldest grandson Wuji was a little greedy, at this time, Li Hao just walked down from the upstairs, and before he walked down the stairs, Li Hao shouted excitedly: "Uncle Eldest Sun is early, Uncle Eldest Sun suddenly visited, and the small shop was shining!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Hao, who was full of laughter, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, and asked with a solemn face: "Poetry, is there a place to speak?" ”

Li Hao hurriedly nodded: "Yes, of course there is, Uncle Eldest Sun will come upstairs with me, and taste the characteristics of our store by the way, and ensure that you want to come every day after eating!" ”

Li Hao looked a bit like a philistine shopkeeper at the moment, and led the eldest grandson Wuji upstairs with a smile on his face, and took him into the luxury private room of Tianzi No. 1.

After entering the private room, the first thing he saw was a huge round table, and it was the first time for Changsun Wuji to see such a large table, he was stunned, and he wanted to ask, but when he thought of the purpose of coming this time, he couldn't help it.

There is a mahogany sofa in the room, there is a coffee table next to the sofa, and there is hot tea and four or five kinds of breakfast on the coffee table, Li Hao took the eldest grandson Wuji to sit down on the mahogany sofa, pointed to the breakfast on the coffee table, and introduced: "Uncle eldest grandson, these are the special breakfast and desserts of our store, very delicious, I will introduce it to Uncle Changsun......"

The eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand and said indifferently: "No need, the old man came here this time to ask you something, not to have breakfast." ”
