Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 341 Chapter 352: Changsun Wuji Visits
Li Shimin quite agrees with Li Hao's comments, but even so, Li Shimin still can't get rid of those old things with corpses and vegetarian meals from their positions. He is most afraid that others will poke his back. His brutal and violent way of superiority has caused him to be poked in the back for many years. No matter how hard he tries to be a good emperor, there are still people talking behind his back. He has had enough. up.

Li Shimin pondered for a long time, decided to change the topic, and said slowly: "You are young but have a unique vision, and your comments are very pertinent. Do you think this Li Chengtian, a poet madman, should be treated like this?"

Li Hao couldn't help sighing secretly when he heard the words, he actually expected Li Shimin's reaction in this way, he knew Li Shimin too well, he knew that Li Shimin couldn't get rid of those rotten scholars in the court, so he simply followed Li Shimin's topic and replied: " Your Majesty, treason has been a capital offense since ancient times, and this humble minister has no good advice."

Li Shimin said with a worried look on his face: "Li Chengtian has a special status, so it's not easy to deal with it. If he kills him with a knife, I'm afraid someone will bring up the matter of Xuanwumen again."

Li Hao was overjoyed when he heard the words, Li Shimin actually took the initiative to bring up the Xuanwumen Incident to him, what does this mean? It means that he already regards Li Hao as his own. No wonder Your Majesty, His Majesty was forced to protect himself back then."

Li Shimin was surprised when he heard the words. He never let others mention this matter. He never thought that Li Hao would be so clear about the reason for the Xuanwu Gate Incident. He would be surprised, and the answer Li Hao gave really satisfied him. Wrong, 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. However, people only saw the facts before them, sympathized with Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and scolded him for killing their brothers. Killing a younger brother, but no one has ever understood his difficulties. Li Hao was the first person who dared to say such a thing to him.

Li Shimin felt a lot of emotion for a while, and suddenly felt that Li Hao was pleasing to the eye, he was silent for a long time, nodded and said: "I will handle Li Chengtian's matter properly, but now I want to talk about you. The calamity and rebellion have gone through a great risk, and the childish slave sent a report to tell me that you have disappeared, and it is suspected that you were taken away by the rebels, is there such a thing?"

Li Hao nodded and said: "Your Majesty, yes, I was indeed taken captive by the rebels into their camp. They tried to recruit me and let me help them plot rebellion."

"Oh?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and asked, "How did you answer?"

Li Haodao: "Weichen never spoke to their people from the beginning to the end, pretending to be unconscious all the time, and then escaped with the help of a Jianghu chivalrous woman."

"The chivalrous woman?" Li Shimin became more interested when he heard the words, and spread his hands, "Tell me carefully, how did the chivalrous woman help you escape."

Li Hao had already thought up a fictional version of the escape story on the way back. When Dang even started to tell it, it was actually similar to the original story of his escape, except that it was the other way around, saying that it was Yinhu who rescued him and kidnapped Li Chengtian at the same time. Fleeing into the deep mountains, as for why the silver fox is in the rebel camp, that is the original story.

After listening, Li Shimin stroked his beard and pondered: "It's rare for this silver fox heroine to be able to know her way back. It is indeed the straightforward temperament of the children of the Jianghu. Alas, the children of the Jianghu still miss the people, but those who are in important positions don't care about the life and death of the people." , The so-called Great Tang Dynasty is really an empty show."

Li Hao took the opportunity to flatter him, saying: "Your Majesty is so introspective, it is beyond the reach of kings through the ages. I feel that the real prosperity will come sooner or later."

"According to your auspicious words, I hope so." Li Shimin smiled slightly and said, "Poet Kuang, you have made great achievements in suppressing the rebellion this time, but I don't want to reward you, why don't you give you a marquis mansion, and then send the two hundred left soldiers Wei rewards you as a nursing home."

Li Hao was taken aback when he heard the words. The two hundred Zuo Wuwei in his mouth naturally refers to the two hundred Xuanjia troops led by Chen Bin. If Hao works as a nursing home, that means that the two hundred Zuo Wuwei will be removed from the army in the future, and they will directly become Li Hao's people, and they will no longer be Li Shimin's people. Li Hao was so happy that he loved him so much.

Although he was happy, he still had to pretend to be terrified, and said: "Your Majesty absolutely must not, how can a lowly minister afford such a reward, and Zuo Wuwei has made great contributions to combating the disaster and suppressing the rebellion, so he should be rewarded generously, why not Rewards fall instead."

"Their rewards, I will benefit their family members, you don't want to refuse the poetic madness, I reward them to you, it's not just a moment of whim." Li Shimin sighed heavily, and said slowly, "This time you can escape from birth. It's really luck, maybe it will be so good in the future, I... I don't want to see you have an accident, you said it yourself, you are a capable minister, and my country and society still count on you to give advice, when I leave , I want to leave you to my son, my grandson, so you must live a good life. This time you killed the Boling Cui family, and you have already stabbed the hornet's nest. From now on, the group of elites will regard you as a thorn in their side, you You must be careful, if you come clearly, I can protect you, but I am afraid that it will be hard to guard against the backstabbing."

Li Hao got up with a serious face and bowed: "Your Majesty is so gracious, this humble minister will definitely die after doing his best."

Li Shimin said slowly: "You stabbed this hornet's nest for me, and I will naturally try my best to protect you. When you go back tomorrow, you should stay at home and don't come out. Recently, the court is not peaceful, so you avoid the limelight."

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

Seeing this, Li Shimin laughed and said: "Look, I'm too busy talking to you, come, eat and eat, don't talk when you eat or sleep."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Hao hurriedly picked up his chopsticks and ate a whole meal. After driving for a whole day, he didn't even eat lunch, but he was so hungry.

After eating, it was very late and the city gate was closed, so Li Shimin sent someone to take Li Hao back to Taibai Tower.

The next morning, coincident with the small court meeting, Li Shimin summoned all the court officials in the Hall of Liangyi for a meeting. Today's court meeting is destined to be not peaceful.

At the court meeting, many ministers impeached Li Hao, many of them were from outside the Cui family. They didn't know that Cui's rebellion had already been proven, because they didn't receive any news from Mrs. Cui, and thought that Li Hao had fabricated it out of nothing.

Li Shimin forbears for the time being, and after everyone presents the impeachment memorials to Li Hao, he counts them, and there are 23 in total. The Palace of Yi testified that the Cui family rebelled openly and wanted to kill two thousand dead men, and planned to kill Jin Wang together.

All the ministers were stunned when they heard the words. They knew that the Cui family's incident seemed to be unresolved. Li Shimin was furious and ordered to dismiss all officials related to the Cui family in Boling. In the prison of the Ministry of punishment, the three divisions will be interrogated together with the Cui clan.

Then began to reward Li Hao and Li Zhi who had contributed to the disaster control and rebellion. Li Shimin decreed to reward Li Hao with two hundred Zuo Wuwei as personal followers, guarding Li Hao comprehensively, and rewarding Li Hao with a mansion in Chang'an.Reward a palace of Prince Li Zhi.

Not long after the dynasty was dispersed, Li Hao received the results of the court meeting. When he learned that all the officials of the Cui family had been questioned, he was not too surprised, which was expected.

After getting the news he wanted, Li Hao waited at Taibailou while eating morning tea, waiting for Chen Bin and the two hundred Zuo Wuwei. Unexpectedly, before Chen Bin arrived, Changsun Wuji came.

After Changsun Wuji entered the Taibai Building, he went straight to the shopkeeper and said, "Old man, Changsun Wuji, come to see Marquis Li."

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

Yao Dafu had stayed in Chang'an for several years, so he had naturally seen a lot of those high-ranking officials and nobles in Chang'an, and he had heard even more. Notice upstairs.

Li Hao was eating morning tea in Tianzi No. [-] private room, when he heard such news, he hurried downstairs to greet his eldest grandson Wuji.

Changsun Wuji stood in front of the counter and observed the legendary Taibai Building. Although he had heard of the name of Taibai Building a long time ago, it was his first visit. He found that this Taibai Building was really special. Other restaurants are not quite the same, and he can't tell what is different.

Before noon, there are already many customers in Taibailou. 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, so they naturally eat breakfast In the evening, Taibailou's breakfast is also unique in the world, such as donkey rolling, egg tarts, fried milk, Huangqiao biscuits... Anyway, there are all kinds of tricks, and all of them are delicious, but they are too expensive, and most people really can't afford them. , and only the rich can afford it.

Changsun Wuji was a bit greedy when he smelled the fragrance of the house. At this time, Li Hao just walked down the stairs quickly. Before he went down the stairs, Li Hao shouted excitedly: "Morning, Uncle Changsun, Mrs. Changsun!" Uncle suddenly visited, and the shop was full of splendor!"

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Hao who was full of laughter, couldn't help sighing softly, and asked solemnly, "Poetry man, do you have something to say?"

Li Hao nodded quickly: "Yes, of course, Uncle Changsun will come upstairs with me, and try our special breakfast on the way, I guarantee you will want to come every day after eating!"

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

After entering the private room, the first thing he saw was a huge round table. It was the first time Changsun Wuji saw such a big table. He was taken aback. He wanted to ask a question, but he held back when he thought of the purpose of coming here. .

There is a mahogany sofa in the room, and there is a coffee table beside the sofa. There are hot tea and four or five breakfasts on the tea table. Li Hao took his eldest grandson Wuji to sit down on the mahogany sofa, pointed to the breakfast on the coffee table, and introduced: "The eldest grandson Uncle, these are the special breakfasts and desserts of our shop, they are very delicious, let me introduce to Uncle Changsun..."

Changsun Wuji waved his hand and said calmly: "No need, I have something to ask you this time, not for breakfast."
