Chapter 34: The Fourth of June in the Nine Years of Wude

Two days passed quickly, and in a flash it was Mao at the fourth day of the sixth month of the ninth year of Wude. The convoy of Prince Li Jiancheng and King Li Yuanji of Qi gathered in the East Palace, preparing to enter the palace to meet the saint and see off King Li Shimin of Qin.

As the prince's general of the guard, Li Haochen also set out with the team, and Xue Wanche, as the deputy general of the guard of the King of Qi, was also here.

This was the first time Li Haochen met King Li Yuanji of Qi. He saw that the King of Qi looked like a jade-like face, straight facial features, high nose and wide mouth, tall cheekbones, and slightly general's belly. He looked about the same age as him.

The King of Qi was wearing a lock-zi Mingguang tiger-head armor, a tiger-head helmet, and a horse spear in his hand, about two feet long. He sat down on a black horse and looked majestic. Li Haochen thought to himself, "What a great prince of the King of Qi."

Prince Li Jiancheng is wearing the prince's court robes, which looks extremely formal. Today, Li Jiancheng also chose to ride a horse like Li Yuanji.

The prince's carriage behind, as well as the 1,000 guards led by the prince and the King of Qi, traveled with the team and rushed to Xuanwu Gate.

On the way forward, Li Jiancheng said to Li Yuanji: "Yuanji, today is seeing off your second brother. Why is your outfit? Are you seeing off or going on a war?" After saying that, Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuanji with a smile. Li Jiancheng was much older than Li Yuanji. As the saying goes, the elder brother is the father. Li Yuanji was led by Li Jiancheng since he was a child, so Li Yuanji respects Li Jiancheng very much. Except for Li Jiancheng, no one in his heart took it seriously. Even his son, Li Yuan, is not as high as Li Jiancheng's position in his heart.

Therefore, when Li Jiancheng asked a question, Li Yuanji quickly replied: "Brother, people are harmless, tigers are hearts and tigers are hurtful, you are so friendly, Li Shimin is obviously a wolfish ambition, he is Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it, that is, you indulge him. If you hadn't stopped me, you would have sent a killer to kill him as I mean, and there would be no other way. You are the elder brother, why should he compete with you for the next thing? Humph! I don't think he will be inactive when I see him off. Brother, we are careful."

Li Jiancheng shook his head when he heard this, and looked at Li Yuanji with a loving look on his face and said, "Yuanji should not be nonsense. No matter how much he said he is your second brother and our brother. Although I have different political views with him, we must not do such a thing as killing brothers and feet for thousands of years! Now that he is far away, there is no possibility of going against me, what else can you worry about? I don't believe that Shimin will attack you and me regardless of brothers and feet."

Li Haochen said in his heart: "Li Jiancheng is good in everything, but he cares too much about brotherhood and brotherhood. Li Yuanji can see this clearly than him. The Qin King has the desire to win the throne, so he naturally will not take into account these things. Perhaps Li Jiancheng will only wake up when he reaches Xuanwu Gate and Li Shimin leaks sharp teeth!"

What else Li Yuanji wanted to say, Li Haochen first advised: "Your Highness, the words of the King of Qi make sense. We still need to be careful!"

Through Li Haochen's recent performance, Li Jiancheng attaches great importance to Li Haochen's words now. Hearing him say this, Li Jiancheng asked, "Haochen, do you have the same opinion as the King of Qi? Do you think Shimin will harm me and my fourth brother?" As he said that, Li Haochen could clearly see the unhappy expression on Li Jiancheng's face.

When he saw Li Jiancheng getting angry, he didn't dare to say that his tone was too tough. He thought for a while and said, "Be careful that the ten thousand-year-old ship is always right!"

At this time, the King of Qi said, "Who are you? My brothers and I have the right to interrupt you?" The King of Qi Li Yuanji was famously arrogant, and no one could match the Tang Dynasty, but because the emperor was his father and the prince was his brother, no one could do anything about him. The King of Qi was just a madman, and no one could control him except Li Jiancheng.

Li Haochen did not dare to offend him, so he quickly apologized: "What Your Highness, the lesson of the King of Qi, is that I am the commander of the camp, General Zhongwu Li Haochen! I am responsible for the safety of the prince. I just heard you say that the safety of the prince is because it is related to the duties of the Mo General, so the Mo General dared to interject. Please forgive the crime of the King of Qi!" As Li Haochen said that, he was extremely humble at this moment. He was terrible to anger Li Yuanji, which made him miserable.

"Yuan Ji must not be rude! Mr. Wei once said that Haochen is both literary and martial, and is a rare talent. He is also for my own good. If you scold talents like this, how can you recruit talents to serve you in the future?" Li Jiancheng said to Li Yuanji, and Li Jiancheng was also afraid that Li Yuanji would make trouble.

Li Yuanji snorted and said, "Because you are for the safety of my elder brother, I will not care about you. You can agree with my opinion and it is very similar to my appetite. Waiting for a while to send the plague god away and come out of the palace, I invite you to drink, which is the compensation I scolded you just now!" Before Li Haochen said anything, Li Yuanji continued, "It's settled! If you don't come, I will let General Xue tie you up!"

Li Haochen said in his heart: Do whatever you say, you don’t give me a chance to choose. Thinking about it, he glanced at Xue Wanche who was following him, and shook his head helplessly.

Li Jiancheng smiled and pointed at Li Yuanji, saying, "You Yuanji! You are so domineering! Fortunately, Haochen is not an outsider!" Then he said to Li Haochen, "Haochen, King Qi is impatient, but I have been raised by him since I was a child. I know that he is not bad in nature. You are my confidant. If you have time, you will have more contact with King Qi and teach King Qi for me. Do you think?"

Li Haochen immediately clasped his fists at Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is so serious. I can communicate with the King of Qi after all the blessings I have cultivated in my three lives. I must not be the word "teaching"!"

"Well, I like your words, I'll make up for this drink! Haha..." Li Yuanji listened to Li Haochen's humble words and said to him with a satisfied smile.

The group of people came to Xuanwu Gate in a mighty way. Xuanwu Gate was closed and the soldiers on it were waiting for the battle, vaguely emitting a killing aura.

Li Jiancheng rushed forward and said, "I am the prince Li Jiancheng, let Chang He open the door for me!"

After a while, the Xuanwu Gate opened, Chang He ran up and bowed to Li Jiancheng: "Chang He, the governor of Xuanwu Gate, please see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" As he said that, he turned to bow to Li Yuanji and continued, "Go to His Royal Highness the King of Qi!" Li Jiancheng said, and Chang He stood up and said flatteringly to Li Jiancheng, such as the hard work of the Crown Prince. Li Yuanji next to him snorted coldly: "Brother and I are anxious to go to the palace to see our father. We don't have time to talk nonsense with you, a little guard, go out!"
