Chapter 114 Prince Summoned

The conversation was divided. Today, Li Haochen was called by Emperor Li Yuan to attend the morning court. During the morning court, Li Yuan casually said: "I feel that I am a little helpless in handling state affairs recently. The prince is over forty years, so it is time for him to add burdens!" Li Yuan's intention to pass on the throne was obvious, but the ministers who were not sure below persuaded him:

"Your Majesty is upright in the early autumn, why do you say this?"

"The prince is still young and needs experience!"

"Your Majesty, you must not!"

“…”

Listening to the ministers, Li Yuan announced his retreat. None of the ministers saw any expression on Li Yuan's face. I don't know whether Li Yuan was happy or unhappy at this moment. They all thought that this was just a sentence Li Yuan said humbly and did not care too much. In the whole process of persuasion, only Li Haochen and Prince Li Jiancheng did not speak. Li Jiancheng was not easy to speak because this matter involved himself, and Li Haochen was the only person who knew Li Yuan's thoughts, so naturally he would not persuade Li Yuan.

After the scattered court, Li Haochen's abnormal behavior was summoned to the East Palace by Li Jiancheng. After entering the East Palace, Li Jiancheng did not talk nonsense to Li Haochen, and directly said: "Today, the father said in the court that he wanted to add a burden to me. The ministers dissuaded him, why don't you speak and persuade Jian?" Li Jiancheng expressed his doubts.

In fact, Li Haochen had long expected that Li Jiancheng would be looking for him. At this moment, watching Li Jiancheng stare at him, Li Haochen smiled and said, "Your Highness has made a decision in his heart, why should he test Haochen?" Li Haochen said that Li Jiancheng had already noticed it. Li Jiancheng knew that Li Yuan's morning court today actually seemed the most useless sentence, but it was actually the core of this morning court. Li Yuan was testing the ministers' attitude towards the prince's succession. Of course, how did Li Jiancheng know Li Yuan's intention? Is Li Yuan revealing it to him in advance or he sees the situation clearly? These outsiders don't know. Li Haochen just came to such a conclusion from Li Jiancheng's performance and expression. Although there is no substantial evidence to prove this conclusion, this does not affect the right conclusion.

Li Jiancheng heard Li Haochen say that he had made a decision in his heart, and he had to admire Li Haochen's amazing insight, but he wanted to know if Li Haochen was thinking the same as him, so he asked: "I don't know what you mean. Don't play Tai Chi with me, why?"

When Li Haochen heard Li Jiancheng's words, he knew that Li Jiancheng wanted to listen to why he did not advise Li Yuan. Li Haochen knew that if he said ambiguous words at this moment, Li Jiancheng would inevitably be displeased. Li Haochen, who figured it out, said directly: "Your Majesty's morning court today seems to be the most insignificant joke, but in fact it is the core of this super conference. Your Majesty's intention is already very obvious. I think your highness will be the best treasure in the near future!"

After hearing Li Haochen's words, Li Jiancheng looked surprised and no longer tested Li Haochen. Instead, he directly expressed his thoughts and said: "I can see that the father is testing the attitude of the ministers, but now the ministers' objections are against it. I am afraid that the father will put aside this matter for a while. If I ascend the throne, you will be my loyal minister!"

Li Haochen heard this and hurriedly bowed to Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Highness is so serious. Haochen is already in the army. Your Highness does not regard me as being despicable. You should entrust me with important tasks at the last minute. I should repay Your Highness's kindness to you, and I am so grateful to you!"

Li Jiancheng nodded with satisfaction at Li Haochen's performance, and knew in his heart that Li Haochen had not forgotten his roots. The two of them also pulled each other closer because of Li Haochen's words. Li Jiancheng spoke more casually: "Haochen, you said I will be the best treasure in the near future! How did you come to this conclusion? How could the father ignore the opinions of the ministers?"

Li Haochen listened to Li Jiancheng's question and explained: "Your Highness, you don't know. These ministers are opposed. It's just a form. This form means that the entire court is under the control of Your Majesty. Based on this point, Your Majesty will definitely agree to pass it to you. If the ministers agree, it means that the hearts of the ministers are in Your Majesty, and the government is not under the control of Your Majesty. Then Your Majesty's situation is very dangerous. Your Majesty will likely re-activate the King of Qin to balance the court. If the ministers say a word, it means that they all have their own ulterior motives, which means that Your Majesty's orders cannot be out of the Tai Chi Hall, and then the Tang Dynasty may be in danger. Therefore, the performance of the ministers today happened to meet the result that Your Majesty wants most, and Your Majesty will definitely pass it to your Majesty according to the original plan. This is the analysis of the subordinates!"

After hearing Li Haochen's words, Li Jiancheng nodded, obviously very much in his analysis. He looked at Li Haochen carefully, and could not hide his love in his eyes. Li Haochen was looked at by a big man so much, and his body was unconsciously restrained. If Li Jiancheng continued to watch like this, Li Haochen would be completely likely to turn around and run away, and then ran and shouted: "Your Highness let me go! My sexual orientation is normal, I don't like men!" Fortunately, nothing happened. Li Jiancheng quickly withdrew his eyes and said with some sigh: "Haochen, looking at you not old and seeing how things are so transparent, I really want to open your head and see what is in your head!"

Li Haochen knew that this was Li Jiancheng joking with him, and he did not really want to open his head. However, in order to alleviate the tense atmosphere of the conversation just now, Li Haochen hurriedly hugged his head and said, "Please don't open his head, let his head work for your Highness!"

Li Jiancheng was amused by Li Haochen's funny posture of holding his head with his hands in his head, and then he laughed loudly from Li Jiancheng's mouth.

After a moment, Li Jiancheng stopped his smile and said to Li Haochen seriously: "Remember what you said today and use your smart head to work for me. If one day your smart head has other thoughts, I will definitely open your head and find out the truth!"

If Li Jiancheng said that he had opened Li Haochen's head and looked at it just now, it was a joke, and this sentence at this moment was a deep warning. Li Jiancheng was warning him that if he dared to do something unfaithful, he would take his life.

Li Haochen couldn't understand, so he quickly clasped his fists and said to Li Jiancheng: "I will definitely serve Your Highness for the rest of my life. If I have the same intention, let Your Highness deal with it!"

Li Jiancheng nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Li Haochen to go back. At the same time, he asked him to pay attention to the trends of various forces in Chang'an after going back to prevent accidents! Li Haochen received the order and returned to his residence.
