Chapter 377 Chapter 388: Doubt Li Hao

Li Zhi's big wedding, most of the important officials in the court attended, Li Shimin also appeared at Li Zhi's wedding, praised Li Zhi, why praise Li Zhi, because he wants to coax Li Zhi, he Fearing that something would happen to Li Zhi in the middle of the journey, and he changed his mind temporarily, wouldn't he be ashamed and humiliated?

How can we praise Li Zhi? There is not much to praise. The last time he put down the rebellion and the disaster, and the last time he rescued him. Although there are only two things, they are both big things. Everything has a common participant, Li Hao.

As Li Shimin was talking, he suddenly realized that the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. Combined with the previous incident between Li Hao and Li Chengqian, Li Shimin discovered a shocking fact that Li Hao was very likely to support Li Zhi.

Can Li Shimin not be shocked? As early as six or seven years ago, Li Hao fell in love with Li Chengqian and offended Li Tai. At that time, Li Zhi was only eight years old. Thinking of this, Li Shimin suddenly felt chills down his back. What a terrible person he was. He had planned for so many years and included eight-year-old children in it, but He, the wise and mighty Tian Khan, didn't realize it at all, even the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty thought he was just a money-grubbing bastard.

Li Shimin didn't want to believe all this, so he started to make excuses for Li Hao, maybe Li Hao didn't have a plan at all, the reason why Li Hao hated Li Chengqian, maybe it was because he was young and frivolous, yes, it must be young and frivolous, that bastard Li Hao has a bad temper , whoever treats him well, he will treat him well, and whoever treats him badly, he will go back...

But no matter how much Li Shimin hypnotized himself, he just couldn't convince himself, so on the day of Li Zhi's wedding, Li Shimin was absent-minded.

That night, an army of thousands of people quietly left Chang'an City and headed for Lantian.

Li Hao slept alone in the study room today, just after nightfall, suddenly, Zhu Ruihuan's urgent 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 yelled 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 the words, and he didn't bother to put on his shoes, he stepped forward to open the door and asked, "Do you know who it is?"

"I don't know." Zhu Ruihuan said, "Chen Song went to investigate."

At this moment, Chen Song suddenly jumped down from the roof, came to Li Hao, and said loudly: "It's the Habayashi Guard! Three thousand Habayashi Guards!"

"Habayashi Guard?" Li Hao was shocked, this is the power that only the emperor can use, what's the situation?
Chen Song said solemnly, "They are just encircling, and they don't seem to plan to do anything, and now only the three of us know about it."

"Master Hou! Master Hou!" Wang San hurriedly ran into the courtyard suddenly, seeing Li Hao standing in the corridor, he hurried forward and said, "Master Hou, someone is coming from the palace, calling for the door, should you open it or not?"

Li Hao frowned, and said loudly: "Open the middle door!" After saying that, he led them to the front yard wearing big underpants.

When they came to the front yard, Wang San stepped forward and pulled the door latch. Chen Song and Zhu Ruihuan opened the door one from the left and one from the right, and then they all retreated to Li Hao. People, Li Hao was shocked when he saw this, this is actually Li Shimin, and it is Li Shimin in military uniform.

Li Shimin led the crowd into the middle door with big strides, his gaze scanned the audience, and then fell on Li Hao, with a smile on his face, he said, "Poetry mad."

Li Hao hurriedly cupped his hands: "See you..."

Li Shimin raised his hand to stop him.

Li Hao quickly changed his words: "My lord."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Talk in the room."

"Yes, sir." Li Hao led the way for Li Shimin and brought Li Shimin to the living room.

After entering the living room, Li Shimin's men and horses took over the outside of the house and kept it tight. After Li Shimin took his seat, Li Hao looked at his naked body, then at his big underpants and bare feet, and said embarrassingly: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I am too anxious ..."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, sit down."

Li Hao sat down apprehensively, thinking in his mind, what Li Shimin meant, he came to him in the middle of the night, there must be an urgent matter, judging by his posture, he didn't seem very friendly.

After Li Hao sat down, Li Shimin kept staring at him, making him hairy all over. Whenever Li Shimin looked at him, he stretched out his hand to block that part. It felt like being stared at by a pervert who was sitting on the ground sucking soil. shame.

Li Hao couldn't stand Li Shimin's eyes anymore, he coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, I'm here late at night, what's the big deal?"

Li Shimin said indifferently: "I thought of something today, but I couldn't understand it. You are extremely smart and you will definitely be able to solve my doubts. That's why I came here to ask you."

Li Hao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, just ask, and I will definitely tell you everything."

"Okay." Li Shimin patted his thigh lightly, and asked slowly: "At the beginning, why did you have the guts to break the leg of the official of the Eastern Palace? Aren't you afraid of Li Chengqian? He was the prince at that time."

Li Hao was shocked when he heard the words. He had a very bad premonition. As smart as he was, he immediately thought of Li Shimin's intention. It seemed that Li Shimin had already found out. Li Hao quickly calmed down and nodded solemnly: "I'm afraid."

Li Shimin squinted his eyes and asked: "Since you are afraid, why do you still want to offend Li Chengqian? Have you thought about the consequences of offending him?"

"I've thought about it." Li Hao raised his head slightly, his eyes revealed a tender look, and sighed, "But the relationship between the brothers of the Hu family and this subject is extraordinary, like brothers, they were injured because of this subject, and this subject must give them an explanation. A man was born between heaven and earth, he did something, and he didn't do something, if His Majesty wants to punish the minister again for this matter, the minister is willing to be punished."

"Are you really just acting on a whim?" Li Shimin looked at him suspiciously.

Li Hao shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I am not acting on my own will. I have thought carefully about it. As the saying goes, it is up to the owner to beat a dog. The prince... the former prince's dog really cannot be beaten, but I did it well at the time." The plan to be punished, as long as I can get justice for my brother, no matter how severe the punishment, I will be willing. Of course, I also know that Your Majesty will only punish me, not kill me. This is why I dare to act recklessly. .”

Li Hao spoke very frankly, almost bluntly describing his thoughts 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 the words. He also felt that Li Hao was very honest, but then he frowned and said: "You never thought about offending Li Chengqian. If he takes my place in the future, what should you do?" where?"

Li Hao said calmly: "Returning to Your Majesty, I have thought about it, but I did not expect that the former prince is not as tolerant as Your Majesty, let alone that he would be so narrow-minded. I originally thought that even if this matter would It made the ex-prince angry, but as time goes by, he will gradually forget it. After all, this matter is not a big deal, but he never thought... oh..." He sighed and shook his head, his face full of tears. It is the color of sadness.

It has to be said that Li Hao's acting skills are already superb, and he almost believed the nonsense.

Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded and sighed when he heard the words: "You're right, Cheng Qian...is really absurd, and it's my fault...for not being able to stop him in a timely manner."

"Actually, Your Majesty doesn't know something." Li Hao said, "On the way I went to Tingzhou to take up my post, I was surrounded by thousands of Gaochang troops. Fortunately, I defeated those Gaochang troops and captured his general. It is learned that they have received a letter from the secret agent of Chang'an, saying that the minister has been ordered by the Holy Order to bring a large amount of military pay to Tingzhou to train troops and prepare horses and horses, and prepare to go to war against Gaochang."

Li Shimin frowned when he heard the words, and said: "There is such a thing!" In fact, he did know about it, but he didn't know what General Gaochang said, because when Li Hao was interrogating, only his cronies were present.

Li Hao nodded and said: "It is true, Your Majesty should know that this news came from Chang'an, and in Chang'an City, except for the former prince, I did not offend anyone else. Of course, this is just my conjecture. I dare not show any disrespect to the former prince because of this matter, after all, he was the prince at the time, in fact, there are more than one similar incidents, I don’t want to care about it, because I still want to get along with the former prince, it’s just... oh..." He sighed again, and every time he sighed, his expression, demeanor, tone, and acting skills soared to a peak.

Li Shimin thought about it carefully, it seems that after Li Hao broke the leg of the official of the East Palace, he really gave in to Li Chengqian again and again, and no longer confronted Li Chengqian, but Li Chengqian secretly hurt Li Hao many times, and Li Shimin knew of several cases. For example, making Hou Junji deliberately delay, not going to Tingzhou to rescue Li Hao, and poisoning the chicken wishbone, he even suspects now that Li Chengqian deliberately targeted Li Hao by letting Li Daozong's daughter marry Tubo. Li Hao's woman.

Li Shimin looked at Li Hao, and suddenly felt ashamed. His unworthy son treated Li Hao like this, but Li Hao endured again and again without complaining. Now that he doubted him, he was really ashamed.

But I am ashamed, I am ashamed, it is a big matter to establish a crown prince, and it is also a big matter to determine whether a courtier is loyal, not to mention that Li Hao is not an ordinary courtier, but a capable minister with all-round talents in civil and military affairs, the kind of minister who can secure the country when he is on horseback, and govern the country when he is dismounted , he must be cautious and cautious.

Li Shimin pondered for a long time, and asked: "Why do you accept childish slaves as students?"

Although Li Hao's heart trembled when he heard the words, he didn't show the slightest bit on his face, and said: "Return to Your Majesty, Jin Wang is innocent and innocent, and has a heart of innocence, which is something I can't see in other princes. It is very rare. Worshiping the minister, the minister went along with the flow and agreed to accept him as a student. The minister was not afraid to tell His Majesty the truth. Since His Royal Highness King Jin followed the minister for a while, the minister did not teach him any knowledge, nor did he teach him any way of governing. Taught him some of the simplest principles of life, let him continue to maintain a pure heart, I just hope that whoever inherits the throne of His Majesty in the end, so that King Jin can live well, I don't want what happened back then... It happened to King Jin, he is a good boy."

When Li Shimin heard this, his expression darkened immediately. What Li Hao said about that year naturally referred to the Xuanwu Gate Incident, which was Li Shimin's murder of his brother.
