Li Haochen followed Li Jiancheng into the city, and it was needless to say that the ministers had a big banquet. Li Jiancheng issued an order to hold a three-day celebration banquet for the soldiers on the front line to quell the rebellion. During these three days, Li Haochen, the commander of the three armies, was very busy. After drinking the next meal, he never stopped at all, and he didn't even have time to go home. Three days later, Li Jiancheng summoned Li Haochen into the palace to discuss the rewards of the meritorious soldiers. Li Haochen entered the palace with the order.

As soon as Li Jiancheng saw Li Haochen, he stepped back and said to Li Haochen: "I have already drafted the imperial edict for you, please see!" Li Jiancheng said and handed the imperial edict to Li Haochen. Li Haochen carefully took the imperial edict and opened it and read it: "Put the rebellion of the Grand Marshal Li Haochen, quelling the rebellion of Li Shimin, and his contributions are in the country. He specially promoted Li Haochen to the first-class Duke of the National Protection, and obtained the fief of the prince. He was the first-rank right commander, and the general of the cavalry. I hope you will make another contribution to my Tang Dynasty and live up to my expectations!" Li Haochen looked at the imperial edict and broke out. He received this imperial edict and was really a great minister.

Yes, although he made contributions this time, he did not capture Li Shimin after all. Such rewards were a bit too much. He, who had been familiar with history books in his previous life, knew that whenever a king in history wanted to punish a minister, he would generally give him a lot of rewards, and make him think that the emperor favored him, he would make him do nothing, ignore the national law, and do extraordinary things, just like the Nian Gengyao and Emperor Yongzheng who read the history of the Qing Dynasty in his previous life. The general meaning is to put it simply, "If you want to destroy others, you will first make others crazy!"

Li Haochen is not Nian Gengyao. He also knows Li Jiancheng relatively well and knows that Li Jiancheng is not a cruel person like Emperor Yongzheng. Otherwise, ten Li Shimins would have died and would not have allowed him to live to this day at all.

But today's incident really made him a little incredible. He didn't know what to do. Li Jiancheng looked at Li Haochen with a serious face and said nothing, and then asked, "Haochen, are you satisfied with this reward?"

Li Haochen was full of thoughts at this moment. Although he didn't know what to do, Li Jiancheng asked, and he had to answer. At the same time, when he answered, he made up his mind that this reward must not be taken. Even if Li Jiancheng did not want to "death", he did not want to be a great minister. He had to know that his achievements were so great that he could not help but think that Song Gaozong killed Yue Fei, and loyal ministers killed the wise king, and he also killed him. Moreover, his foundation in the court was still shallow and he could not accept this high position.

Thinking of this, Li Haochen answered: "I am really surprised by this imperial edict. I heard that the rewards and punishments of the lords and wise kings have standards, and the rewards are different in different sizes of merits. Although I am leveraging Your Majesty's dragon power and making a little contribution, Your Majesty will reward you so much. Does Your Majesty think that Haochen cannot make another contribution for Your Majesty? If Your Majesty thinks that, I have nothing to say, I just want to say that I am still young and have strength. If Your Majesty doesn't think so, then if Haochen makes another contribution in the future, I will make another contribution.

, How should Your Majesty reward Haochen? Therefore, I think this is too generous. As the saying goes, haste, it is not enough to achieve it. I know that Your Majesty is trusting, so I will reward him well. But my merits are not as good as this. I have received this reward because I feel guilty, and the other is that I may hurt Your Majesty's wiseness, so that all the ministers think that Your Majesty's rewards and punishments are unknown and favors him. If this is true, it is really a great fault for me. I would not dare to accept this reward!" Li Haochen said, holding the imperial edict in both hands and raising it respectfully over my head.

Li Jiancheng did not accept the imperial edict, but laughed: "I heard from the ministers that fat people are generous and honest and kind, but on the other hand, you, Li Haochen, are afraid that the ministers' words have not been fully completed! I have known you for a long time, and I know that you have made many tricks and have constant wisdom and plans, and are extremely cunning. Today you have made great contributions to the court. I want to reward you well, but you refuse to accept everything. All of you are polite and honest. I know that all the ministers and officials work for the court. Everyone wants to hold high positions and hold great power. Do you refuse to accept the promotion?

It’s not that you don’t think about it, but that you think that your foundation in the court is too shallow, and you may not be able to control it. If that’s the case, I will no longer force you! But there is a saying that you will remember for me. As long as you are loyal to the Tang Dynasty and loyal to me, I will be your backing. No matter whether you have a foundation or not, no one dares to touch you. But if you dare to have ulterior motives and betray me, I will be the first to kill you!" Li Jiancheng said the last two sentences suddenly became very strict, and after that, he took over the imperial edict from Li Haochen.

In fact, Li Jiancheng's imperial edict was to test Li Haochen again to see if he was proud of his achievements and ambitions from time to time. Obviously, Li Haochen's defense just now made him very satisfied.

When Li Haochen saw Li Jiancheng receive the imperial edict, he felt like he was amnesty. His heavy mood just now became a little relieved. At the same time, he quickly responded to Li Jiancheng's words: "Your Majesty's wiseness! Please rest assured! I should be the Tang Dynasty and your Majesty, and I will devote myself to your life until I die!" Li Haochen's wiseness of Your Majesty was a double talk. First, it was that Li Jiancheng figured out what he thought. Second, he thought that Li Jiancheng's temptation to him was correct. He asked himself that if the position was changed, he would be like Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng nodded with Li Haochen's answer in satisfaction, and then said, "Remember what you said today. I will keep this imperial edict for you first when you are full and able to take on great responsibilities."

Li Haochen hurriedly politely to Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Majesty is so kind, I am so grateful! I am willing to serve Your Majesty loyally!"

Li Jiancheng walked out of the Dragon Case, stepped forward and helped Li Haochen up and said three good words in a row. Then the two fell into a brief silence. After a moment, Li Jiancheng said again: "Haochen, I have been almost overwhelmed by the rebellion army in the past three days. The memorials for asking for merit have almost cut off my desk. I really don't know what to do for a moment. You are the marshal who suppressed the rebellion. Come and help me!"

Li Haochen listened to Li Jiancheng's words and said in surprise: "I ask myself that I don't know any powerful people in the court. How could so many people ask for credit for the army to suppress the rebellion?"

Li Jiancheng sighed after hearing this, "Haochen, don't know anything. You know that you are a part of your army to suppress the rebellion. Each army has relatives of the powerful and powerful in the court. These powerful ministers naturally want to seek credit for them, but it is difficult to say it clearly. Naturally, they just wrote a letter to me and asked me to implement the reward earlier. But reward is a big deal, and I am not easy to pay attention to for a while, so I let you enter the palace to discuss this matter!"

Li Jiancheng said, suddenly paused, and continued, "Of course it's not all memorials for rewards. Now, let me show you a memorial to punish you. Look!"
Chapter completed!
