Chapter 118: Persuade the Prince
Li Haochen also felt a little moved when he heard Fang Xuanling's words: "Mr. Fang, it's not that Haochen is much more intelligent than you. I wonder if you have heard such a saying, "Good good help, and lost little help? This is the reason why Mr. Zhang failed today!"
Of course, Fang Xuanling understood what Li Haochen said, which means that Li Shimin was unpopular, but Fang Xuanling did not understand the profound meaning of Li Haochen's words. Li Haochen actually told him that he won today because he stood on the righteous side, and Fang Xuanling lost here.
Fang Xuanling's discomfort made him feel that Li Haochen was deliberately showing off today's victory to him, and also attacking him. This made Fang Xuanling feel extremely uncomfortable. He snorted coldly, turned his head and did not look at Li Haochen, and then said, "Marquis of Lecheng, I, Fang Xuanling, understands the truth about success, king and defeat, and since you don't want to tell Fang how you did it and how to make arrangements, then forget it, why bother to mock me here? I thought Lecheng Marquis of Lecheng was a gentleman, but I didn't expect that he was such a villain, which really made Fang feel very shameful for the Marquis!" After that, he ignored Li Haochen, and Li Haochen did not explain too much to him. He knew that this person only had Li Shimin in his heart now, and it would take time to convince him to change. Yes, Li Haochen had actually moved to suppress Fang Xuanling's heart.
As for Fang Xuanling's current attitude, Li Haochen knew that he had misunderstood him, but he was too lazy to explain to him, because Fang Xuanling was just a blind eye and could not see the situation clearly. No matter how much he explained to him, he couldn't listen. In fact, Fang Xuanling did misunderstand Li Haochen. The sudden arrival of Lu Tong was unexpected by Li Haochen, but it was reasonable. Lu Tong's arrival was indeed not arranged by Li Haochen in advance, but a tacit understanding!
Li Haochen was originally a single person to catch the person behind the scenes. When Li Haochen saw Fang Xuanling bringing these men in black, he didn't expect that when he was arrested, he sighed in his heart that he underestimated the heroes of this era and was too self-righteous! When he and Fang Xuanling were talking about those things that were not available, they were actually for Lu Tong to delay the reaction. He believed that with the infiltration ability of the Tang Dynasty Intelligence Bureau, the incident that happened in the dense forest could soon be transmitted into Lu Tong's ears. As expected, at the critical moment, Lu Tong brought people over and sent him a secret code. This was why he shouted at the dense forest, and Lu Tong killed the general and rescued him. This was the whole thing. Therefore, the words that Li Haochen had just expressed were not to humiliate Fang Xuanling's failure, but to be truly sincere.
Li Haochen took Fang Xuanling and the dozen men in black to the prison of Dali Temple, and then turned back to the mansion. The next morning, Li Haochen rushed to the prince's East Palace and visited Prince Li Jiancheng.
When he arrived at the East Palace, Li Haochen talked about the whole story of Fang Xuanling being instructed by Li Shimin to murder him. Li Jiancheng was furious when he heard this, slapped the table, glared at the distance and shouted: "Shimin is a bit too much this time! The brothers' dispute caused Xiao Yun and affected the court officials. It was because I was too indulging him in the past! Alas!" As he said that, Li Jiancheng sighed heavily. After a moment, Li Jiancheng looked at Li Haochen softly and said: "Haochen, are you okay? Are you injured?"
Li Haochen listened to Li Jiancheng's concern words and hurriedly said, "Thank you for your concern. Haochen is in danger this time and there is no serious injury!"
Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "It's good that you're fine. You're wronged this time. I will definitely make the decision for you! You can't let you suffer this hardship in vain!" Li Jiancheng looked at the distance with a very firm tone. Li Haochen thought that Li Jiancheng was really determined this time and no longer estimated his brotherhood and wanted to attack Li Shimin. Who knew that Li Jiancheng's determination lasted only for a moment. After a moment, Li Jiancheng sighed again, and said helplessly: "Shimin has been demoted now and is far away from Chang'an. I really can't bear to do anything to him. In this way, Haochen, the Fang Xuanling you caught, will be left to you to deal with, vent your anger, whether to kill or cut, you can do it. I will report to you for your father! Just let it go!"
Li Haochen was really unable to stand Li Jiancheng's indecisiveness, and he advised: "Your Highness is not wise to give up big fish and get shrimps! Your Highness can't bear to do anything to Repent. You must know that Repent Hou has never been ruthless when he attacked you. This time he is a man who is not willing to die. But if you can avoid him next time, can you avoid him for a lifetime? I only heard that if you only have a thousand days of thieves, how can you defend against thieves for a thousand days? Your Highness should attack decisively now, taking advantage of his wings and being in a small position, and attack with one move to eliminate future troubles!"
Li Jiancheng listened to Li Haochen's generous speech and instantly slapped the table again, scolding Li Haochen angrily: "Did you let me be the villain whom ten thousand men refer to? Are you going to trap me in a trap? Then you kill your brother first, and then come and advise me!" After Li Jiancheng finished speaking, he snorted coldly and continued: "I think of these remarks for how much you have made contributions. I will not care about you! But there will be a decree next time that I will not forgive you!"
After Li Jiancheng finished this sentence, Li Haochen felt sad. He didn't know whether the person he had worked hard to assist was worth it. However, since he had decided, he had not turned back and saw him. He could only wait until Li Shimin was full of wings and rebellion. Maybe Li Jiancheng would repent! Li Haochen thought about this in his heart, so he stopped saying anything. He clasped his fists at Li Jiancheng and was about to withdraw from the East Palace.
Li Jiancheng thought about his attitude just now and was afraid that he would hurt Li Haochen. Li Jiancheng was not stupid. He knew that Li Haochen's remarks were all for his own good. However, since he was a child, he was the eldest son in the family and his tolerance for his younger brother was born with innateness. He really couldn't do it, even though he knew that what Li Haochen said was possible to actually happen.
Li Jiancheng felt that he had treated Li Haochen like that just now, and he said softly: "Haochen, please go slowly! I'll tell you good news!"
