Chapter 388: Suspicion of Li Hao
Li Zhi's wedding, most of the important officials in the DPRK and the central government went to attend, Li Shimin also appeared at Li Zhi's wedding, praised Li Zhi, why praise Li Zhi, because he wanted to coax Li Zhi, he was afraid that Li Zhi would suddenly have something in the middle of the way, and temporarily change the hexagram, then wouldn't he be embarrassed and embarrassed.
How to praise Li Zhi, there is not much to praise, the last time the rebellion was suppressed, and the last time the driver was rescued, although there were only two things, but they were both major events, and those who were interested will find that these two things have a common participant, Li Hao.
Li Shimin said and spoke, and suddenly found out, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, combined with the previous confrontation between Li Hao and Li Chengqian, Li Shimin found a shocking fact, Li Hao is very likely to support Li Zhi.
Can Li Shimin not be shocked, as early as six or seven years ago, Li Hao had a relationship with Li Chengqian, and also offended Li Tai, what does this mean, it shows that Li Haoda has already wanted to support Li Zhi from the beginning, and at that time, Li Zhi was only eight years old, thinking of this, Li Shimin suddenly felt a chill down his spine, what a terrible person this is, a bureau has been deployed for so many years, and the eight-year-old children are counted in it, but he, the wise and martial Heavenly Khan, did not notice it at all, Including the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, they all felt that he was just a bastard boy who was greedy for money.
Li Shimin didn't want to believe all this, he began to make excuses for Li Hao, maybe Li Hao didn't have a layout at all, the reason why Li Hao scolded Li Chengqian, maybe it was because he was young and frivolous, yes, it must be young and frivolous, Li Hao's bastard is a violent temper, whoever is good to him, he will be good to him, and whoever is not good to him, he will go back......
But no matter how Li Shimin hypnotized himself, he just couldn't make himself believe it, so on the day of Li Zhi's wedding, Li Shimin was absent-minded.
That night, an army of several thousand people quietly walked out of Chang'an City and headed for Lantian.
Li Hao slept alone in the study today, just after nightfall, suddenly, Zhu Ruihuan's hurried voice came from outside the study door: "Boss, it's not good, boss!" ”
Li Hao hurriedly got up and jumped out of bed and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Zhu Ruihuan shouted in a low voice outside the door: "Someone has surrounded our Hou Mansion, thousands of people!" ”
"What!" Li Hao was taken aback when he heard this, and he didn't care about putting on his shoes, so he stepped forward and opened the door and asked, "Do you know who it is?" ”
"I don't know." Zhu Ruihuan said, "Chen Song went to explore." ”
At this moment, Chen Song suddenly jumped from the roof, came to Li Hao, and said loudly: "It's Yu Linwei!" Three thousand feathers Lin Wei! ”
"Yu Lin Wei?" Li Hao was shocked, this is the power that the emperor can mobilize, what is the situation?
Chen Song said with a solemn face, "They are just surrounding, and they don't seem to be planning to do anything, and now only the three of us know about it." ”
"Master Hou! Master Hou! Wang San suddenly hurriedly ran into the courtyard, saw Li Hao standing in the corridor, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Hou, someone is coming to the palace, is calling the door, open or not?" ”
Li Hao frowned and said loudly: "Open the middle door!" With that, he led them to the front yard in his big pants.
Coming to the front yard, Wang San stepped forward and opened the door latch, Chen Song and Zhu Ruihuan opened the door left and right, and then all retreated to Li Hao's side, only to see countless torches lit outside the door, led by a middle-aged man wearing gold armor, Li Hao was shocked when he saw this, this is Li Shimin, and it is Li Shimin in military uniform.
Li Shimin took the people to step into the middle gate, his eyes swept the audience with majesty, and then landed on Li Hao, showing a smile, and said, "Poetry madness." ”
Li Hao hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Meet ......"
Li Shimin raised his hand to stop him.
Li Hao hurriedly changed his words: "Meet your lord." ”
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Talking in the house." ”
"Yes, sir, please." Li Hao led the way for Li Shimin and took Li Shimin to the living room.
After Li Shimin took a seat, Li Hao looked at his bare body, then at his big pants and bare feet, and said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty forgives me, the minister is too anxious......"
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, sit down." ”
Li Hao sat down nervously, constantly thinking in his heart, Li Shimin What does this mean, coming to him in the middle of the night, there must be a hundred thousand urgent major events, looking at his posture, it doesn't seem to be very friendly.
After Li Hao sat down, Li Shimin kept staring at him, seeing that he was hairy, which part of Li Shimin looked at him, he stretched out his hand to block which part, feeling like being stared at by a perverted woman sitting on the ground, a little ashamed.
Li Hao really couldn't stand Li Shimin's eyes, and coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, I came to visit late at night, I don't know what the big deal is?" ”
Li Shimin said lightly: "I thought of something today, I have no solution in my heart, you are a poet, you are very smart, you will definitely be able to solve my doubts, so I specially came to ask you." ”
Li Hao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty asks, the minister must know everything, and he will say everything." ”
"Okay." Li Shimin patted his thigh and asked slowly: "Why did you have the courage to break the leg of the East Palace Bureau, aren't you afraid of Li Chengqian?" He was the crown prince at the time. ”
Li Hao was shocked when he heard this, he had a very bad premonition, as smart as him, he immediately thought of Li Shimin's intention, it seems that Li Shimin has found out, Li Hao hurriedly calmed down, and nodded solemnly: "I'm afraid." ”
Li Shimin squinted his eyes and asked: "Since you are afraid, why do you want to offend Li Chengqian, have you ever thought about what the consequences of offending him are?" ”
"I've thought about it." Li Hao raised his head slightly, his eyes showed a look of restriction, and he sighed, "But the relationship between the Hu brothers and the ministers is extraordinary, like brothers, they are injured because of the ministers, and the ministers must give them an explanation, the boy was born in heaven and earth, and he has something to do and something not to do, if His Majesty wants to punish the minister again for this matter, the minister is willing to be punished." ”
"Are you really just doing it on the spur of the moment?" Li Shimin looked at him suspiciously.
Li Hao shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is not willful, the minister is carefully considered, as the saying goes, it depends on the master to beat the dog, the prince...... The former prince's dog really can't be beaten, but the minister was also ready to be punished at that time, as long as he can get justice for the minister's brother, even if he is punished heavily, the minister is willing, of course, the minister also knows that His Majesty will only punish the minister, not kill the minister, which is also the reason why the minister dares to act recklessly. ”
Li Hao said very frankly, almost very bluntly describing what he was thinking at the time, but he missed one point, that is, he knew that Li Chengqian could not be the emperor.
Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, he also felt that Li Hao was very honest, but he immediately frowned and said: "You didn't think about it at the time, you offended Li Chengqian, if he takes over my position in the future, how should you deal with yourself?" ”
Li Hao said calmly: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thought about it, but the minister didn't expect that the former prince was not as tolerant as His Majesty, and he didn't expect him to be so narrow-minded...... Alas......" At this, he sighed and shook his head, his face full of sadness.
I have to say that Li Hao's acting skills are already superb, and he almost believes in his own nonsense.
Li Shimin couldn't help but nod and sigh when he heard this: "You're right, Cheng Qian...... It's ridiculous, and it's weird...... Failed to stop him in time. ”
"Actually, Your Majesty doesn't know anything." Li Hao said, "On the way to Tingzhou, the minister encountered thousands of troops in Gaochang to intercept him, but fortunately, the minister defeated those Gaochang troops and captured his main general, and learned under torture that they got a flying pigeon from the secret agent in Chang'an, saying that Weichen was ordered to take a large number of military salaries to Tingzhou to train troops and horses, and prepare to start a war against Gaochang. ”
Li Shimin twisted his eyebrows when he heard this, and said, "There is such a thing!" In fact, he did know about this, but he didn't know what Lord Gao Chang said, because when Li Hao interrogated, only his cronies were present.
Li Hao nodded and said: "There is indeed such a thing, Your Majesty should know, this news came from Chang'an, and in Chang'an City, the minister did not offend anyone except the former prince at that time, of course, this is just the minister's conjecture, and the minister did not dare to disrespect the former prince because of this matter, after all, he was the prince at the time, in fact, there is more than one similar thing, and the minister doesn't want to care, because the minister still wants to get along with the former prince, but ...... Alas......" He sighed again, every time he sighed, that expression, that demeanor, that tone, and his acting skills soared to a peak.
Li Shimin thought about it carefully, Li Hao seemed to have repeatedly tolerated Li Chengqian after breaking the leg of the East Palace officer, and no longer worked against Li Chengqian, but Li Chengqian secretly harmed Li Hao many times, Li Shimin knew several things, such as asking Hou Junji to deliberately delay, not going to Tingzhou to save Li Hao, and poisoning the chicken wishbone, he even suspects now that letting Li Daozong's daughter marry Tubo is also Li Chengqian's deliberate targeting of Li Hao, after all, Li Ping is Li Hao's woman.
Li Shimin looked at Li Hao, and suddenly felt ashamed, his uncompetitive son treated Li Hao like this, but Li Hao repeatedly tolerated it and did not say the slightest complaint, and now he actually doubted him, he was really ashamed.
But ashamed to be ashamed, the establishment of the prince is a big deal, to determine whether a courtier is loyal, is also a big deal, not to mention that Li Hao is not an ordinary courtier, he is a capable minister with all-round civil and military talents, he must be cautious and cautious.
Li Shimin pondered for a long time and asked, "What are you accepting a child slave for as a student?" ”
Li Hao heard that although his heart trembled, but his face did not show anything, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the King of Jin is innocent and has a pure heart, which is not seen by the minister in other princes, it is very rare, it just so happens that the King of Jin also worships the minister, and the minister pushes the boat down the river and promises to accept him as a student, and the minister is not afraid to tell the truth to His Majesty, since His Royal Highness the King of Jin has followed the minister for this period of time, the minister has not taught him any knowledge, nor has he taught him any way to be political, but only taught him some of the simplest principles of life, so that he can continue to maintain a pure heart, The minister just hopes that no matter who inherits His Majesty's throne in the end, so that King Jin can live well, the minister doesn't want what happened back then...... It happened to King Jin again, he was a good boy. ”
When Li Shimin heard this, his face immediately became gloomy, what Li Hao said about the year naturally refers to the Xuanwumen incident, that is, Li Shimin's cruelty to his brother.
