Seeing that Lu Pinting had heard his words, Li Haochen knew in his heart that Lu Pinting already knew the seriousness of the matter. Li Haochen looked at Lu Pinting's eyes red and tears slowly flowing out of his eyes. He felt very reluctant and just wanted to express his words to comfort him. However, before Li Haochen spoke, Lu Pinting said, "Husband, it is often said that husband and wife are one. If Your Majesty wants to punish your husband today, how can Pinting run away alone? No matter what happens, Pinting hopes that he can face it with his husband! Pinting also hopes that his husband will not say such words again!"

Li Haochen was very moved when he heard Lu Pinting say this. He was about to say something touched when he heard a slender voice coming from outside the door of the mansion: "The imperial edict has arrived! Duke Liang Li Haochen received the edict!"

Li Haochen hurriedly took Lu Pinting to the front yard and bowed, saying, "My minister, Li Haochen, received the order!"

The eunuch glanced at Li Haochen, and saw him standing straight there without kneeling at all, he randomly said angrily: "Bold Li Haochen, don't kneel down after seeing the imperial edict! Do you want to rebel?"

Li Haochen knew that this imperial edict was definitely not good news for him. No one from the court knew that he was granted by the emperor. He could not kneel down. This eunuch definitely wanted to fall down and everyone pushed him. He wanted to take the opportunity to step on him. Although Li Haochen was lonely, it was not a small eunuch that could be bullied. He snorted coldly: "I know that Your Majesty must punish me, but as long as Your Majesty did not take back my honor of not kneeling, then I could not kneel down when I saw the Emperor, let alone the imperial edict!"

After saying that, Li Haochen paused, his voice raised a little and continued, "You are just an eunuch who has no seeds. Who gave you the courage to speak to me like this? The housekeeper will see you off! I will not accept this imperial edict! I want to see how you will report to Your Majesty when you go back! Humph!" After saying that, he pulled up Lu Pinting, who was kneeling on the ground waiting for the eunuch to announce the eunuch, and was about to turn around and leave.

Li Haochen's action really made the eunuch sweat on the forehead. I thought that when he went to read the emperor's imperial edict, he was not arrogant and did not receive such treatment. But now he is indeed weaker than others. If he just went back like this, he would not be in the mood to think about whether Li Haochen would be punished by His Majesty. However, if he humiliated the royal face, he would definitely be alive. There is no way. The eunuch squeezed out a smile, laughed dryly, and apologized to Li Haochen: "Haha, that Duke Liang should not be as knowledgeable as an eunuch who was uncultured. We just said the wrong thing. Please Duke Liang listened to our family's reading of the imperial edict, so we could go back to the palace to serve! Please don't make things difficult for me!"

Li Haochen just wanted to give this eunuch who was too high and low, but he didn't want to accept the imperial edict. Seeing that the eunuch in front of him had already surrendered, Li Haochen did not have the power to forgive him, so he turned around and continued to bow and bow and said, "My Duke Liang Li Haochen received the imperial edict!"

The eunuch saw Li Haochen turn around and receive the order, afraid that Li Haochen will regret it, so he quickly opened the imperial edict and read it: "In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor's edict said: Li Haochen was the one who was the crown prince, and appeared in the throne of the Duke of the Kingdom. He should have been loyal to the king and the country and share my worries. But he did not think that he was a slut. He had repeatedly abandoned the brotherhood between me and my brothers, but he did not want to repent and should have committed his crimes again and again! But because he had made many contributions to the country, he now dismissed all his positions and titles, confiscated his property, and moved out of the Duke's Mansion within a time limit! I admire this!"

After the eunuch was announced, the eunuch had just suffered from Li Haochen's loss and did not dare to stay again. So he hurried away. Only Li Haochen and his wife were left in the front yard of the huge Duke's Mansion. Li Haochen helped Lu Pinting up and said, "Now I have no official or no title. Will my wife regret following me?"

When Lu Pinting heard this, he hugged Li Haochen tightly and said, "Husband, stop talking stupidly. When I was with you, you were just a fourth-rank official. I didn't want my husband to be a big official. I just liked him simply. You should know that as early as the previous dynasty, the general of the previous dynasty had come to get engaged to my father, but my father refused because he was a little bit young. My Lu family is a descendant of the Wenhou, and I will never judge heroes by success or failure! I believe that my husband will eventually have another turmoil. Even if my husband has no intention of career from now on, I am willing to be a pastoral couple with him."

Li Haochen hugged Lu Pinting tightly with his backhand and whispered in Lu Pinting's ear: "What else do you want to get a wife like this? Your husband promises you that you will definitely let you be the most noble and happiest woman in the world!"

Compared with the loneliness and desolation of the Duke's Mansion at this moment, the wind and clouds in Chang'an City were turbulent because of Li Haochen's deposition. First, Li Haochen's mentor, Duke Wei, Li Jing, went to the emperor to argue with him. Then hundreds of officers jointly wrote a letter to plead for Li Haochen. However, this kind of warm scene was just a flash in the pan. More people punished Li Haochen. Some said that Li Haochen was hiding evil intentions, some said that he was a villain's behavior, and some said that he had already had a rebellious intention long ago. Fortunately, Your Majesty made a clear decision.

Li Haochen didn't care about this kind of rumors. Three days after receiving the imperial edict, he followed Lu Pinting out of the Duke's Mansion and found a village that no one knew to live a pastoral life. He got up early in the morning and went to the fields to work at five o'clock every day. Lu Pinting prepared food every day and looked at the fields at the doorstep waiting for Li Haochen to return home. The neighbors only knew that the young couple who had just moved here were very loving, and they didn't know that the man who worked diligently in the fields to work every day was the former Duke of Liang Li Haochen, who was well known to everyone in the Tang Dynasty.

Three years passed in a flash. Li Haochen did not wait for Li Shimin's rebellion, but waited for a piece of news that was one day in June of the ninth year of Tianqi. Emperor Li Jiancheng of Tianqi announced the world, and the Supreme Emperor Li Yuanlong returned to heaven, and ordered the world to mourn and fast for three months. Li Haochen keenly realized that he had indeed miscalculated Li Shimin. While he was in Yunzhou, Li Shimin had been operating in Chang'an for so many years. How could he have had the heart?

What about the belly? I'm afraid that Li Shimin got that Li Yuan was not in good health and had not moved. He was waiting for this day to start a sudden attack. After all, if Li Yuan was still alive, even if the emperor was Li Jiancheng, if Li Shimin raised an army, he would not be able to escape the reputation of a son attacking his father. Naturally, people's hearts and people's hearts are hard to make contributions. But if Li Yuan dies, it will be the brotherly dispute between him and Li Jiancheng, without the condemnation of ethics and morality, and naturally there is a shackle that is insurmountable for him.
