Chapter 57 Sentencing
Of course, Li Haochen only learned about the death of his second son after he was released from prison. When he first heard about this, Li Haochen sighed. Of course, this is all a story.
Speaking of the court in Dali Temple, Changsun Wuji had nothing to say, and the minister of Dali Temple loudly pronounced a verdict: "Changsun Wuji in Chang'an ordered his two sons to spread rumors, bewitching the people's hearts, and then slandering others, and involved royal family. In order to cover up his crime, he forced his two sons to death. The evidence is sufficient, and his crime is established. After I report to the emperor, I will be convicted. Li Haochen has nothing to do with this case, and he will still be sent back to the Dali Temple prison, waiting for the emperor to decide!"
After the Dali Temple Minister was sentenced, Li Haochen and Changsun Wuji were taken back to the prison. Changsun Wuji was already in ashes at this moment, and he already knew what he was about to face. Li Haochen was nervous recently and could finally relax. He knew that he had successfully escaped a life-and-death disaster.
I don’t know if it was because of the efficiency of the Dali Temple Minister, or if Li Yuan was decisive and decisive, the trial ended at noon. Before Shen was still there, the eunuch in the palace brought an imperial edict. The eunuch shouted: “Under the imperial edict, Li Haochen and Changsun Wuji accept the imperial edict!” The two of them hurriedly bowed to the ground.
When the eunuch saw the two kneeling down, he read out: "The emperor's edict in the Heavenly Congregation said: Changsun Wuji has been repeatedly favored by the emperor, but he does not want to repay him, but spread rumors, bewitched the people's hearts, framed colleagues, slandered the royal family, ignored human lives, and killed people to silence the mouth for self-protection. His behavior is outrageous, both people and gods are angry, and my heart is very cold! Changsun Wuji's mind is like a snake and scorpion. If he does not kill, he cannot calm the anger of the people. If he does not kill, he cannot calm the hearts of the ministers. If he does not kill, he will not understand the law. The special judge Changsun Wuji beheaded outside the northern gate of Chang'an and showed his corpse for three days! He will serve as a warning to others!
Li Haochen, my loyal minister, knows right and wrong, and is a pillar of the Tang Dynasty. I feel very comforted by this wise minister! However, because of Changsun Wuji's fault, the wise minister was wrongly imprisoned, which is my fault for failing to investigate! I feel deeply uneasy, and now release Li Haochen immediately and see him in Taiji Palace! I admire this!"
After reading the imperial eunuch, the eunuch saw that Changsun Wuji had collapsed to the ground. After Li Haochen said to receive the imperial edict and thanked him, he stood up. The eunuch said, "General Li, Your Majesty is still waiting for you in the palace. Do you think you are following me into the palace now?"
Li Haochen sorted out his clothes and said, "Dude, I really don't dare to be the title of general. Your Majesty has removed my official position, and there is no intention of restoration in the imperial edict." Li Haochen was imprisoned once, forcing him to act more carefully to avoid losing his word.
The eunuch smiled and said, "Your Majesty favors Lord Li so much. It's only a matter of time before Lord Li's reinstatement!" Although the eunuch said this, he secretly changed his name. The eunuchs serve the emperor and are extremely cautious in every word and action. He was afraid that others would catch the talk just now.
When Li Haochen heard this, he did not communicate too much with the eunuch, but nodded slightly, preparing to follow the eunuch into the palace to meet the emperor Li Yuan.
Just as Li Haochen left the gate of the cell, Changsun Wuji called him. The eunuch was about to scold Changsun Wuji, but Li Haochen stopped him. He said, "Dude, please rest for a while outside, I will come!" Although the eunuch was a little reluctant, he knew that Li Haochen was now the emperor valued, so he nodded and said, "Please hurry up, Lord Li, Your Majesty is still waiting for you, so he left the cell."
Because both of them were prisoners valued by the emperor before, only two of them were imprisoned in this prison. As soon as the eunuch went out, only Li Haochen and Changsun Wuji were left in the cell.
Li Haochen said first: "Sir Changsun, call me, don't know what you can do?"
Changsun Wuji sighed and said, "I think I am good at calculating, but I didn't expect to lose to you many times. This time, this time, I'm curious, why did I lose? I know my destiny is not long, so please give me advice and let Wuji die to understand!"
Li Haochen thought for a moment and said, "I don't have much to say. I can only tell you that if you have a correct mind and follow the right path, the kind will be invincible!" Li Haochen's meaning is actually that Changsun Wuji is not upright, so he failed.
Changsun Wuji repeatedly pondered this sentence, and then said: "Everything in the world is planning. Only who has a good plan? How can you say that? Since you don't want to say it, I don't ask. It's really the King of Qin that has destroyed the King of Qin, which has made you more than the prince's camp. Otherwise, the King of Qin would have already inherited the position of Prince."
Seeing that Changsun Wuji could not understand what he meant at all, Li Haochen stopped talking to him. Finally, he left a cold sentence: "It's not that the heaven wants to destroy Li Shimin, but that Li Shimin will destroy, with orderly old and young, and with superiors and inferiors, as his two sons, he tried to kill the legitimate legitimate and become independent. Even if he succeeded, he would not allow his life. You and Li Shimin had the fate today, which seemed accidental, but it was inevitable! It was not because of my Li Haochen's ability, but you took it upon yourself. You should take care of yourself! I have not missed you for too long, so I really should reflect on myself!"
Li Haochen left without hesitation, leaving Changsun Wuji to his back, and roared wildly: "I don't agree! Li Haochen, I don't agree! Even if I die, I will fight you to the end!" But at this moment, the only thing that responded to Changsun Wuji was the heavy echoes in the prison.
When Li Haochen left the prison, he saw that there were two people with the eunuch at the same time. These two people were none other than the Crown Prince Li Jiancheng and Crown Prince Xima Weizheng. Li Haochen thought that he had not met these two people for nearly two months.
Prince Li Jiancheng said first: "Short after you were imprisoned, my father asked me to go out to Tongguan to receive the Goryeo envoys with Mr. Wei. Who would have thought that this trip would take nearly two months. Mr. Wei and I came back to know that so many things had happened in Chang'an City. Haochen, you are suffering. Today, I will come to the Dali Temple Prison with Mr. Wei to personally pick you up and get out of prison in person to express my apology."
Li Haochen listened to Li Jiancheng's words and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, your words are serious! Haochen is fine! It's just a little trouble. Do you think this has been solved? As for the apology, Haochen really dares not take it! It's my duty to share the worries for the king. I'm making the king worry, it's my responsibility. I hope your highness will not worry, everything has passed!"
Li Jiancheng didn't say much when he heard this. He was moved. In fact, it was true that Li Jiancheng went to pick up the envoys of Goryeo, but it was not for two months, but only half a month. But when he came back, the rumors were out of control. He wanted to help Li Haochen but didn't know where to start, so he never dared to see Li Haochen because he felt a little guilty, but Li Haochen did not blame him, but instead enlightened him, which really touched him.
Wei Zheng was in the same heart as the prince. Besides, he was humble and could not enter the prison of Dali Temple at all. At this moment, he felt a little relieved when he heard Li Haochen say this.
