Chapter 10 General Chung Wu
Li Haochen said and wanted to get up, but he didn't have any strength on his body and could not move at all. Seeing this, Li Jiancheng said, "You are injured, so you can't spare these false gifts?"
Li Haochen nodded after hearing this and said with some gratitude: "Thank you, Your Highness, the prince. I already know that I was wrong. I hope Your Highness will forgive you. I will never dare to act without permission again!" As he said that, he didn't know whether Li Haochen was really in pain or pretending, but two tears fell from the corner of his eyes.
However, these two tears were tears of regret in Li Jiancheng's eyes, which shows that Li Haochen really knew he was wrong.
Li Jiancheng looked at Li Haochen carefully and said, "Okay, since you know you were wrong, this stick is not in vain today. I want to cultivate you, but you must be a person worthy of cultivation! Do you understand?"
Li Jiancheng's words are very clear. The popular meaning is that I want you to be a high-ranking official, but if you have any problems, you have to change it. If you change it, you will be a talent, and I can make you a high-ranking official.
Li Haochen could not understand such a straightforward word, and he was immediately delighted. At this time, he saw Wei Zheng still kneeling on the ground and said, "Your Highness, the prince, I understand, thank you for your appreciation, but can you let Mr. Wei get up first! I have been weak since I was a child and can't help but beat him. I don't blame Mr. Wei for what happened today, and I would like to ask the prince not to blame Mr. Wei."
Before Li Jiancheng could speak, Wei Zheng was stunned. He never expected that Li Haochen would plead for him. After all, it was his order that beat Li Haochen's military stick. At this moment, Li Haochen could still plead for him, which made Wei Zheng very moved. At the same time, he also had a great impression of Li Haochen. He felt that he was a true gentleman with a broad mind and aroused his desire to make friends in his heart. At the same time, he also looked at Li Haochen with gratitude.
Li Jiancheng was also surprised and even more recognized Li Haochen in his heart. He felt that this person was not only brave but also had a broad mind. He was a rare talent. At the same time, he didn't think of really punishing Wei Zheng. After all, Wei Zheng was the jade pillar of his Eastern Palace, and he had to rely on Wei Zheng in everything. It just so happened that Li Haochen was still asking for mercy for Wei Zheng, so he took advantage of the situation and said to Wei Zheng: "Get up, Wei Zheng! Since someone pleaded for you, I will not cure you for your crime this time. I will punish you to take care of him these days until his injury heals!" As he said that, he pointed at Li Haochen and said to Li Haochen again: "What are your name? What did the ancestors do?" Li Jiancheng was a little embarrassed after he said halfway. He didn't know what Li Haochen was called, and at the same time he wanted to consider Li Haochen's background to see if this person's background is innocent and a useful person.
Of course, Li Jiancheng had already sent someone to check Li Haochen's background, and now he just wanted to see if he was honest.
After hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Li Haochen was very surprised. He knew in his heart that Li Jiancheng might have to reuse him. He quickly replied: "Go back to the prince, my name is Li Haochen. As for what my ancestors do, I don't know very well. I don't even know who my parents are. I was raised by villagers since I was a child. They said that my father was a general, and my mother died of dysfunction because of giving birth to me. I grew up eating a hundred families of food. As for what my ancestors do, I don't know. I heard from the villagers that my mother and ancestors have been farming for generations."
Li Jiancheng nodded when he heard this and nodded in his heart. What Li Haochen said was similar to his investigation results. It seems that Li Haochen's family background is still innocent. Although he doesn't know which general his father is, he thought that the time when Li Haochen was born was also turbulent. There are so many generals that he may no longer be able to consider.
Li Jiancheng thought for a moment and said, "Since your father is a general, then I will give you a general today. Listen, from today on, my left guard in the East Palace will be led by you! Give him the general Zhongwu!"
After hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Li Haochen felt as if he was overwhelming. He knew that Li Jiancheng might use him more, but he never expected that Li Jiancheng would hand over the safety of the Prince's East Palace to him a small soldier. You should know that the commander of the Prince's East Palace Zuowei and General Zhongwu are official positions of the fourth rank, and are several levels higher than the Prince Xima of Wei Zheng. This is a high-ranking official among the Tang Dynasty military generals.
What Li Haochen didn't know was that the reason why Li Jiancheng gave him such a high-level official was actually a kind of protection. After all, Li Haochen beat King Wei Li Tai and offended King Qin. King Qin would definitely not let him go. However, the King of Qin would not dare to kill such a high-level general with real power, such as the left guard of the crown prince, the left guard of the East Palace, General Zhongwu, and the King of Qin would not dare to kill him at will.
Of course, Li Haochen didn't know about these things. He stabilized his emotions and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is very loving, but I have not made any contributions, so I have taken such a vital position. I may not be able to convince the public. I have to bear the heavy trust of the prince. I hope the crown prince will choose another wise man to take this position!"
Looking at Li Haochen's serious expression, Li Jiancheng recognized Li Haochen's character even more in his heart. He had courage, strategy, and virtue, knowing progress and retreat, and being responsible. This is the person he wanted most at the moment.
Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "Haochen, I believe you, Jun Wuji, I should be like this, I am the crown prince! You don't have to be humble anymore. I believe you will be able to lead the Zuowei and make them stronger! You don't have to rush to take office. I will give you a few days off. You can recover from your injuries. When your injury is healed, you will go to the post! The Zuowei will be managed by your two deputy commanders first! You don't have to worry!" As he said that, he looked at Li Haochen in a meaningful and carefully, and then said, "I have some things to deal with, so I won't accompany you! Let Mr. Wei take good care of you!" After that, he glanced at Wei Zheng, gave Wei Zheng a wink, and left the room.
Wei Zheng and Li Haochen said in unison: "Great send to the prince!"
Just after Li Jiancheng left, Wei Zheng came up and said to Li Haochen: "Please congratulate General Zhongwu for his success. I hope General Zhongwu will support him in the future!"
Li Haochen knew that Wei Zheng was a close minister of the crown prince. Although his official rank was higher than him, he really didn't dare to be arrogant. Besides, he respected and admired Wei Zheng very much. For the fact that he seriously injured him just now, he knew with a slight thought that it must have been Wei Zheng who did it on purpose, so he didn't hold a grudge against Wei Zheng at this moment.
Listening to Wei Zheng's words, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Wei said this, but it would be a disaster for the younger generation. If you can be appreciated by the prince, you will definitely devote yourself to the prince until you die. I will take the power first, and I am afraid that my ability will be insufficient. I hope that my teacher can teach me one or two. If I do not abandon it, I will treat my husband with the courtesy of my master!"
Wei Zheng never expected Li Haochen to say such words. He had seen people with high positions for many years. No one was not arrogant and did not take the world seriously. However, Li Haochen was so humble that Wei Zheng really liked this young man from the bottom of his heart.
