That's right, it's the horseshoe, for this revenge for the prince, although Li Hao was impulsive, but he did a good job of cleaning up the aftermath, the horseshoe is his killer weapon, he went to the scientific research temple the day before the revenge, and drew the drawings of the horseshoe to the scientific research room and the experimental department.

After reading it, the craftsmen in the scientific research room and the experimental department suddenly realized that what they had been thinking about for a long time was not so simple, but they didn't expect it, and they had to admire Li Hao's ingenuity.

Li Hao didn't have time to talk nonsense with them, let them hurry up and make the horseshoe, and then leave, this horseshoe will be the most important life-saving talisman for his revenge action, he wants to prove to Li Shimin through this horsehoe that he is very useful, very useful, and can easily solve the embarrassing situation of the lack of war horses in the Tang Dynasty, so that the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty is like a tiger, this is so dragging, are you willing to be heavy-handed when you punish me.

But the horseshoe can't be rashly offered to Li Shimin, if it is not done well, it will make Li Shimin think that Li Hao is threatening him, but now it is different, with Li Ji and Cheng Yanjin's plan to paint the ground as a prison, plus the horseshoe, everything will fall into place.

Li Shimin looked at it for a long time and didn't understand what this horseshoe was for, so he asked Li Yuanzhong: "Li Yuanzhong, this horseshoe...... What is it for. ”

Li Yuanzhong said: "Back to Your Majesty, Li Siqing said that this is to put shoes on the horse. ”

"Shoe the horses?" Li Shimin was stunned for a while.

Wei Zheng on the side couldn't help but snort coldly when he heard this: "What nonsense, how can a horse wear shoes!" ”

Li Yuanzhong added: "Your Majesty, Li Siqing knew that Your Majesty might not believe it, so he asked Weichen to bring a horse with shoes and was waiting outside the hall. ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but be curious when he heard this, and said loudly: "Come on, bring in the horse with shoes!" ”

Soon after Li Shimin's words fell, he saw a Jin Wuwei leading a group of jujube red horses into the Ganlu Palace, and the horses' hooves hit the temple stone, making a crisp "da-da" sound.

As soon as Li Shimin heard that the voice was wrong, he hurriedly stepped down from the throne and came to the side of the jujube red horse with Wei Zheng, Li Yuanzhong personally stepped forward to lift the front hooves of the jujube red horse, and said, "Your Majesty, please see, this is the horse's shoes." ”

I saw a semicircular iron bar nailed to the bottom of the horse's hooves, which completely isolated the horseshoe horns from the ground, so as to prevent the horns from wearing, and this semicircular iron bar was exactly the same as the one drawn on Li Hao's paper.

Li Shimin and Wei Zheng were shocked at the same time when they saw this, and their eyes suddenly showed ecstasy, they could see at a glance how significant this small iron bar was.

Li Shimin couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, personally lifted the horse's four hooves and looked at them, and then laughed: "Okay! All right! Li Hao is Li Hao, worthy of being the first capable person in my Tang Dynasty! Every time it brings me unexpected surprises! ”

Li Yuanzhong said: "If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, Weichen will retire first." ”

"Wait." Li Shimin raised his hand to stop him and asked, "Did he come up with this horseshoe himself, or did the people from the scientific research temple come up with it?" ”

Li Yuanzhong said: "It was Li Siqing and the craftsmen of the scientific research temple who came up with it together, and Lord Ma Zhou, the superintendent of the temple, also knew about it. ”

"Okay, you can step down."

"Obey the order, Weichen retires." Li Yuanzhong led the jujube red horse and withdrew from the Manna Palace.

Li Shimin returned to the throne and sat down, and asked Wei Zheng quite proudly: "Wei Qing, how is this Li Hao?" ”

Wei Zheng coughed embarrassedly and said slowly: "Li Hao's son is indeed a genius. ”

"Hahaha." Li Shimin laughed heartily when he heard this, and laughed for a long time before saying, "Wei Qing, in today's world, there are not many people who can praise you, haha." ”

Wei Zheng's face did not change and said: "Although Li Hao has a genius, he still committed the law of unforgiveness, and he should be punished for his crimes!" ”

Li Shimin slowly wrinkled his brows when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Wei Qing, do you want the Tang Dynasty to lose the country?" ”

Wei Zheng was shocked when he heard this, knelt on the ground, and said generously: "The minister would not dare to have such a thought!" ”

Li Shimin first buttoned Wei Zheng a big hat, and then said slowly: "Li Hao is a genius in the world, he brought a prescription for the treatment of plague to the Tang Dynasty, cowpox to resist smallpox, a wind-powered waterwheel to draw water and fight drought, and now he has also created this horseshoe, Wei Qing probably doesn't know yet, Li Hao also created a bed crossbow that is far more powerful than a car crossbow, which is a siege weapon in the world, such a peerless talent, but Wei Qing is bent on executing him, I have to doubt Wei Qing's intentions." ”

Wei Zheng was silent for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers also know that Li Hao has made great contributions to the country and is a genius, but the law of the country cannot be abolished, otherwise in the future, how will Your Majesty lead the ministers and how will he restrain the people." ”

At this time, Fang Xuanling, who had not spoken, suddenly came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a word, I don't know if I should say it?" ”

"Speak!"

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty wants to pardon Li Hao, but he is afraid that there will be a violation of the law, since this is the case, if Li Hao is not guilty of contempt for the emperor's authority, then he can be punished lightly." ”

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this: "Keep talking." ”

"Yes." Fang Xuanling continued, "According to the investigation of Dali Temple, when Li Hao beat Chang Yong, the official of the East Palace, he did not know Chang Yong's identity, and it is often said that those who do not know are not guilty, and it was Chang Yong who robbed Li Hao's slaves first, and it was Chang Yong who sent someone to do it first, Li Hao in order to protect himself, so Li Hao only injured the official of the East Palace, and did not mean to despise the emperor's authority. ”

"Hiss-" Li Shimin gasped when he heard this, looked at Fang Xuanling with complicated eyes, and secretly screamed in his heart, "Xuanling, do you want me to treat the ministers as fools, a clear-eyed person knows at a glance that Li Hao is an act of revenge, but you say that he is completely unaware and is convicted of hurting people?" ”

Wei Zheng was obviously very dissatisfied with Fang Xuanling's proposal, so he asked, "That Du He was also knocked off his leg at the same time that day, how to explain this matter." ”

Fang Xuanling said again: "The sneak attack on the person who injured Du He did not reveal his true face, but it can be determined that it was not Li Hao's doing, because Li Hao was in Changlong Yaxing at that time. ”

"Shhh......h It really makes sense, isn't it, this is also an alibi, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is Li Hao looking for someone to do it, is it really good to be like this.

Wei Zheng was also speechless, in fact, he was too lazy to argue with Fang Xuanling, if he was according to his normal temperament, he would definitely have to argue with Fang Xuanling in black and white, but this time it was different, he also realized that Li Hao was a talent, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, he couldn't let him die like this, Wei Zheng lived for such a long time, it was the first time he did something against his will, and it was to save a bastard boy, no way, this bastard kid is too capable, Datang Jiangshan needs him.

After a while, Li Shimin suddenly said leisurely: "I received a secret report yesterday that someone in Tingzhou had a foreign connection and betrayed the path of the caravan to Gaochang. ”

Wei Zheng frowned when he heard this: "Although Tingzhou is a poor place, but Tingzhou Thorn Shi is still a fourth-grade state official, and suddenly Li Hao, who is guilty of being promoted, is only afraid that the ministers will not allow it." ”

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said: "The ministers will not disallow it, but Kong Yingda will definitely oppose it, and ask Wei Qing to help me at that time." ”

Wei Zheng's face suddenly became ugly when he heard this, he had always been old-fashioned and upright, he suddenly felt that it was very bad to do such a secret box, and just wanted to refuse, Li Shimin suddenly said again: "Wei Qing, in fact, I let Li Hao serve as the assassin of Tingzhou Another intention, that is, to restrain Gaochang and restore the Silk Road, as long as the Silk Road is restored, Li Hao has a way to increase the treasury by 800,000 yuan a year." ”

Wei Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, he felt that his blood was boiling, the annual tax collection of the Tang Dynasty treasury was only two million guan, what is the concept of increasing the treasury by 800,000 guan a year, how much can the country do, how many refugees can be saved in the event of a natural disaster, although Wei Zheng is extremely stubborn, but he is not pedantic, as long as it is for the benefit of the country and the people, even if it is a little against the moral yardstick in his heart, he is willing to do it, this is the real minister of the country. He almost didn't hesitate, and immediately bowed his hand and said, "The minister obeys the holy order." ”

On the first day of the first month of June, at the court meeting, Kong Yingda played again, asking Li Shimin to severely punish Li Hao, Li Shimin had expected him to play, and asked Xiang Qunchen pretendly: "Zhuqing, Li Hao's beating of the East Palace official has also dragged on for a long time, and I have not been decided, I don't know what Zhuqing thinks?" ”

As soon as Li Shimin's voice fell, Wei Zheng came out and said: "Your Majesty, Li Hao beat the official of the East Palace in the city, although he doesn't know the identity of the other party, but he can't escape punishment, please let Your Majesty be punished!" ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, what did Wei Zheng mean by this, why did he excuse Li Hao!

Although Wei Zheng's words were fierce, he also said that he would be punished heavily, but the most important sentence was "I don't know the identity of the other party", just this sentence removed Li Hao's crime of contempt for the emperor's authority, once this crime was removed, no matter how heavy the punishment was, it would be an itch.

When Kong Yingda heard this, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what Lord Wei said is also wrong, Li Hao is clearly because his store was smashed, he holds a grudge and takes revenge!" ”

Wei Zheng snorted coldly: "Oh, yes, what evidence is there for Kong Sacrifice Wine?" ”

Of course, Kong Yingda had no evidence, but it was obviously something that everyone could see, and he was asked to take evidence, he was very unhappy, and asked rhetorically: "What evidence does Lord Wei have?" ”

Wei Zheng said calmly: "Dali Siqing Sun Fujia is here, Your Majesty may wish to ask Sun Siqing, and everything will be known." ”

Everything was performed according to the script, Li Shimin was very happy, and asked pretendly: "Sun Aiqing, did Li Hao really not know his identity as an official of the East Palace before beating Chang Yong?" ”

Sun Fujia came out and saluted: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen has found Chen San, the shopkeeper of Changlong Yaxing, to verify that Chen San has been present at the time of the incident, and he can prove that Chang Yong did not mention his identity as the official of the East Palace during the conversation with Li Hao. ”

Kong Yingda's face turned green when he heard this, his beard trembled with anger, and he shouted angrily: "He obviously knows!" He is clearly a private revenge! ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he suddenly glared and snorted coldly: "Kong Qing! Shut up! ”

Kong Yingda's next words were all stuck in his throat, so angry, really angry.

At this time, Shen Song, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, suddenly said: "Since Li Hao doesn't know Chang Yong's identity as the official of the East Palace, then, at the same time, Du He's leg was broken on the street in Chang'an East City, how to explain this matter, how can there be such a coincidence in the world, you need to know that it was Du He and Chang Yong who smashed Li Hao's shop before." ”

Li Shimin suddenly raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Oh, Du He and Chang Yong smashed Li Hao's shop?" Why? ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, Li Shimin pretended to be stupid at this time, it was obvious that he was deliberately covering up Li Hao, Shen Song's heart sank when he heard this, knowing that he was on the wrong side this time, but now it is difficult to ride a tiger, and he is full of regret in his heart.

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Song said: "Back to Your Majesty, these two were drunk at the time and had a quarrel with the people in Li Hao's shop, which caused a conflict and smashed Li Hao's shop." ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "In this way, even if you really take revenge on Du He, it's not too much." ”

Shen Song was speechless, he could only hang his head and retreat to the side, Wei Zheng added at this time: "Li Hao was beating Chang Yong in the tooth shop at that time, how can he have time to go to Dongshi to beat Du He, this matter is not Li Hao's doing." ”

As soon as this kind of divine logic was spoken, everyone was speechless for an instant, they really didn't know if Wei Zheng was really upright or pretending to be stupid this time, the atmosphere in the Taiji Hall became a little weird, why did they all suddenly help Li Hao speak, even Li Shimin pulled the shelf, and it was so obvious, excessive!
