Chapter 8 Prince Washing Horses - Wei Zheng

When Li Haochen heard Li Jiancheng's words, he knew that the prince was going to hit him. If he really wanted to kill him, he would probably not have saved him just now. However, as the saying goes, being with the king is like being with a tiger. This king's mind is the hardest to guess, and Li Haochen had to deal with it carefully.

He thought about it slightly and said, "I don't know when I go back to Your Highness, I hope Your Highness will make it clear!" Li Haochen, who didn't know what Li Jiancheng meant, just pretended to be confused.

Seeing that this boy had a ghost in his heart and refused to admit it, Li Jiancheng snorted and said, "You really think I don't know what you are thinking? You use me to accomplish your feat of saving people. Do you really think that you don't know your intention? Do you know your guilt?"

Li Haochen immediately put on a sudden enlightenment and said, "So it's this matter! If it's this matter, my subordinates are not guilty. The prince said this matter, are you going to reward me? Then there is no need. It's all my subordinates to share the worries of the prince, and the prince doesn't need to reward me!"

Li Haochen's nonsense instantly made Li Jiancheng happy, and he also became very interested in this kid. After all, he dared to beat the son of the King of Qin in the street. No matter what starting point he was, he was at least a hero.

Li Jiancheng stared at Li Haochen for a while and said, "Then tell me, why do I want to reward you? Why are you not guilty?"

When Li Haochen heard Li Jiancheng's words, he probably wouldn't punish him, so he quickly said, "The prince was displeased when he saw King Wei riding horses in the street. Seeing King Wei beat the injured, he wanted to stop him. Seeing that King Wei was trying to stop him, his subordinates saw His Highness's intention, so he was ordered to stop King Wei! Prince, do you think that the subordinates did this with only merits and no faults?"

Li Jiancheng snorted coldly when he heard this, "What a rude boy. He obviously acted without permission, but he actually said that he had followed the order of this prince, and was sent to prison first. When the prince had time, he would interrogate him carefully!" Li Haochen didn't know what he said about this passage, and he happened to talk about Li Jiancheng's taboo. The king of ancient times hated the most was to figure out the superior intentions, but he liked the person who could understand what he thought. However, this kind of thing was a taboo to say in public. Li Haochen, a college student in the 24th century, was not very clear about this. He still thought about the idea of ​​everyone being equal and reasoning. However, at this moment he was already in a feudal society, not a world where everyone was equal. The superior had the majesty of the superior, so he could touch it.

When Li Haochen heard Li Jiancheng's words, he was also shocked. He knew that he must have said the wrong thing, which might be called joy and sorrow! But at this moment, Li Haochen had not yet figured out what he had offended the prince. He didn't dare to speak now, for fear of angering the prince again and losing his life.

Although he was not familiar with politics, he was not stupid. At this moment, he was thinking in his heart how he could save the situation and why he angered the prince.

Li Jiancheng didn't say anything to him anymore, but instead took his group to escort Li Haochen and walked towards the East Palace. Obviously, the identity of the prince was exposed, and Li Jiancheng could no longer inspect Chang'an according to his original ideas, so he could only return to the East Palace in disappointment.

The group had just arrived at the gate of the East Palace, and an eunuch hurried over and said to Li Jiancheng: "Your Highness, Mr. Wei is here. I have been waiting for you for a long time and said that there is something important to discuss with you!"

When Li Jiancheng heard this, he knew that something must have happened, so he quickly asked the eunuch to lead the way and hurriedly walked towards his study.

Poor Li Haochen, who had just saved people bravely, left in a hurry because the prince had something to do, and only a few soldiers left were escorting him. Because of his unexpected performance just now, he missed his face in front of the prince. These soldiers were very jealous and naturally would not give Li Haochen good food. The small actions in the open and secret made Li Haochen very uncomfortable. Along the way, they were like driving pigs and herding sheep, pushing and shoving until they were escorted to prison.

Li Haochen secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived in prison. At least he didn't have to be tortured by these guys.

Sitting in the prison in the military camp, no one paid attention to him, and Li Haochen did not yell like other prisoners, and said unjustly, but sat quietly in the corner of the cell.

He was thinking about who Mr. Wei would be? Where did he offend the prince? What would happen if the prince hurriedly ran over? He needed to figure out all these things one by one.

In fact, he figured it out on the way these soldiers took him back. He, who was familiar with history books, quickly found the answer in historical allusions. At this moment, he already knew where he was wrong. After thinking it out, he deeply knew that in this environment, some things you can only do but not say, and if you do it, you will have it out. If you only say things you can't do, if you say it out, you will have it out.

While Li Haochen was still thinking about how to get out of the current awkward situation, an elderly man about fifty years old came to the prison. He was wearing a cloth dress, with a plump body, a beard on his chin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a big nose and wide ears, a big mouth and thick lips, and he walked elegantly.

At this time, the prison guard ran over and said to Li Haochen: "You guy is so lucky, Mr. Wei is here to see you!"

When Li Haochen heard this, he sorted out the historical celebrities of the Tang Dynasty in his heart. At this moment, in the prince's camp, the surname Wei and who was respected as a gentleman, was about to emerge. This person was probably Wei Zheng, who was the then crown prince Xi (xiǎn) horse. This person was a legendary figure who persuaded Xu Shiji (later Li Ji), helped Li Jiancheng to capture and kill Liu Heita and pacify Shandong. Li Haochen also respected this person very much, because Wei Zheng was a famous minister of admonishment during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang in history. He repeatedly complained directly. In his heart, he was not afraid of power but only fought for right and wrong. Li Haochen recognized this person very much.

Out of respect, Li Haochen quickly stood up and bowed to the visitor and said, "Subor Li Haochen, I have met Mr. Wei!" Wei Zheng is now the crown prince Xima, and is a fifth-rank official in the crown prince's East Palace. Li Haochen is a soldier led by the left guard of the crown prince's East Palace, so he is not allowed to claim his subordinates to Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng looked at Li Haochen, then laughed for a moment and said, "It's really a hero who is a boy! Do you recognize me?"

Li Haochen said respectfully to Wei Zheng: "You must be the crown prince Xima Wei Zhengwei, your great name subordinate is well-known!"

Listening to Li Haochen telling him about his identity, Wei Zheng's favorability for Li Haochen suddenly increased.

However, the previous second Wei Zheng was still talking to Li Haochen with a smile, and the next second he turned dark and shouted: "Li Haochen, do you know your guilt?"

Li Haochen was clever and said carefully: "I knew I was wrong. I shouldn't try to guess the prince's intentions. I acted without receiving the prince's order, which would damage the prince's majesty!" Li Haochen understood why he offended Li Jiancheng, and at this moment he became honest and did not dare to talk about it anymore. He honestly admitted his mistake.

Wei Zheng nodded when he heard this, and his face was still cold, "Take this person who does not obey orders and acts without authorization out of the major eighty military sticks!"
