Eastern Palace, Yiqiu Courtyard.

Li Chengqian and Li Hao each had a rocking chair, enjoying the warm midday sunshine.

From time to time, I stretched out my hand and picked up a grape from the low table in the middle and put it in my mouth. It was so sour and sweet, so comfortable.

"Spit" and spit out the grape seeds, Li Hao smashed his mouth: "Dear Prince, why do I feel like I visit the brothel every time I come to you? When can you change the name of this yard?"

Knowing that Li Hao's dog could not spit out ivory, Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and ignored him, and continued to hurry up and eat grapes as much as the game.

How do you say this thing..., take one bite less.

Although it sounds a bit unlucky, it is the truth.

After all, the glass greenhouse is so big, and it is impossible to plant grapes all. Apart from the special offerings in Tai Chi Palace, the special offerings of the old man in the Daming Palace, and the rewards of the meritorious ministers in the court, there are only a few who can deliver them to the Eastern Palace.

It was not long since the two bunches of grapes were wiped out. Li Chengqian waved his hand to signal Eunuch Chang to remove the plate, and then said, "Dejian, do you think there will be no problem with the national letter we forged, right?"

Li Hao looked at the plate being taken away with regret, licked his lips with unsatisfactory feelings, and after a while he returned to his spirit, "As long as he can enter the gear, there will be no problem."

Li Chengqian said anxiously and bluntly: "Aren't you talking nonsense? That's just a fake, how could you get into the tier?"

Li Hao smiled faintly: "It's because of human affairs. You haven't discussed it with His Majesty, how could you know it's definitely not possible."

"Then you go." Li Chengqian pointed to the direction of Daji Palace.

"I won't go, I'll see your father's liver tremble." Thinking of Li Er's pair of eagle-like eyes, Li Hao decisively shook his head and rejected Li Chengqian's proposal.

Li Chengqian was speechless.

How fresh this is said, it is like I don’t tremble when I see my father’s legs.

"Why don't you go together." Li Chengqian compromised after a moment of confrontation.

"Okay, then let's go together."

After passing through the deserted East Palace, he walked around a big circle and came to the Liangyi Hall of Tai Chi Palace. He happened to catch up with the great Emperor, His Majesty, who had just woken up in the afternoon.

Li Chengqian took the lead, Li Hao, the two of them stepped forward to show the sleepy Li Er's greeting and stabbed me, and I'll stab you in a fight.

After waiting for a long time, Li Er finally returned to his soul and said unhappily: "What are you two guys doing?"

"Return to Father, Dejian said there is something important to report to you." Li Chengqian took the lead and decisively sold his teammates.

Facing Li Er's scrutiny, Li Hao could only remember this passage in his heart and stepped forward and said, "Did Your Majesty remember Xuanzang, a great monk who went out to the west a few years ago? Now this person is trapped in Tuyuhun and cannot escape. He is looking forward to his homeland, hoping that his homeland can save him from the sea of ​​suffering."

Xuanzang? Li Er tried hard to recall it for a long time before he found the image of a fat monk in his mind, nodded and said, "I remember that I seemed to have talked to you two kids about this matter last time, didn't I leave it to you?"

Li Hao blinked innocently and thought to himself that it is true that you have handed it over to us, but if you don’t send people or soldiers, what can we two young people do?

He bowed honestly: "Your Majesty, after repeated consultations between the Crown Prince and his ministers, he felt that it would be better to rescue through normal official channels. On the one hand, it could put pressure on Tuyuhun, and on the other hand, it could also shock the countries in the Western Regions."

Li Er narrowed his eyes slightly: "Oh, what do you mean is...sending troops to the Western Regions? Are you not afraid of the court officials making a nameless army?"

Li Hao felt guilty and said, "Actually, it's not a good idea to send troops to the Western Regions. With your current reputation, as long as you write a book and send someone to Tuyuhun, you will definitely be able to bow your head and follow your orders."

"Oh, is that true?" Li Er took the tea that had just been brewed from the palace servants beside him and took a sip.

"Uh..." He glanced at Li Chengqian who was shrinking his head and Li Hao made up his mind: "Actually, I have some other ideas."

"Tell me," Li Er's attitude was tepid, but it was filled with a sense of oppression.

Li Hao paused for a moment and said, "The reason why I want to ask Your Majesty to come forward is mainly to try the attitude of Fu Yun, the king of Tuyuhun, to my Tang Dynasty. Fu Yun has always been unstoppable to the thieves in the Longyou area of ​​our Tang Dynasty. Why would you take this opportunity to suppress him and see what kind of reaction he will have."

Li Er sneered: "It's really that simple?"

"Of course it's not the only one." Li Hao shook his head and continued, "I believe that Fu Yun is a man who can bend and stretch, but is not the one who is the one who is willing to be inferior. During the former Sui Dynasty, he was beaten by Yang Guang to flee to the Western Regions. Later, he resurrected his original land. Not only did he regain his original land, but he also occupied four border cities in the Longyou area.

Now that my Tang Dynasty is strong, this man immediately gave up the four border towns. On the surface, it seems that he was afraid of us, but the act of robbing merchants traveling to and from the Western Regions is clearly testing the bottom line of my Tang Dynasty. If we really ignore him, it will be a short time before this man will have a different mind."

Li Er's character is rebellious, and he is the most unfaithful person who comes out in front of him, but instead becomes capricious. In addition, Li Hao's words are so conscientious that he feels a lot of dissatisfaction with Tuyuhun and asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure that Fu Yun has the intention of being a disobedient?"

The so-called unjust heart refers to Tuyuhun, who was a vassal state, but had a different mindset about the Tang Dynasty, which was the highest state of the Celestial Empire.

As the only prophet of the Tang Dynasty, Li Hao was able to affirm this.

But in order to stabilize his skills, he still said politely: "Your Majesty, I just talk about the matter. Everything depends on the result of this mission to assert what Fu Yun has."

When he said this, Li Hao had some thoughts and deliberately used the mission to test Li Er's reaction.

Li Er may have heard Li Hao’s implication, or perhaps he didn’t hear it, and his fingers gently slammed the table and fell into silence.

Li Hao, who was familiar with his habits, felt a little relieved. He knew that the imperialist leader should have listened to his words and began to seriously consider the plan for Tuyuhun.

After a long time, Li Er finally stopped and looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Okay, submit the national letter you have prepared. I will ask Lin Xi to send it to the Secretariat of the Secretariat later."

Hey? Li Chengqian, who has always regarded himself as an invisible person, looked up in shock: "Father, you..."

"If you don't know, don't do it unless you do it yourself." Li Er snorted and sneered: "Do you two think that I don't know about the private creation of the national letter?"

Li Chengqian and Li Hao looked at each other and wiped the cold sweat secretly.

It's so dangerous. Fortunately, I came to Tai Chi Palace today. If I really want to deal with this matter privately, I'm afraid the consequences will be unpredictable.

He took out the booklet honestly and put it on Li Er's desk. Li Chengqian shrank his neck and retreated back to his original position. In order not to be affected by Chi Yu, Li Hao took the initiative to withdraw five steps. He guessed that even if Li Er threw something to him, he would have a chance to dodge him. Then he stopped.

Li Er seemed to have known the contents of it for a long time. He didn't even look at the forged letter of nationality. He just stared at Li Chengqian and kept looking at the prince. He asked stammeringly: "Father, Father, you, what do you think I'm doing."

Li Er knocked on the table: "Where is the seal, don't tell me that the seal on the Chinese calligraphy you two have made is painted."

Li Chengqian looked constipated and said, "Go back to my father, eat, eat!"

"have eaten?"

Li Hao couldn't continue to pretend to be stupid now and confessed: "Your Majesty, the seal was carved by the minister and the prince with radishes. After using it, the body was destroyed."

"Okay, okay, one is my prince and the other is my confidant minister. You two are really brave."

Li Er's expression could not tell the joy or anger, but the more this happened, the less confident Li Hao felt.

In the original plan, neither he nor Li Chengqian planned to take out this forged fake national letter. They thought that as long as they could obtain Li Er's consent, they could immediately exchange for a real national letter, and this fake one would naturally have no meaning.

But unexpectedly, Li Er had known that this fake letter of nationality existed for a long time, and he also knew that it was with Li Chengqian. This made the two of them not even have the chance to argue, and they directly came to the stolen goods and obtained it.

Since the quibbling was useless, Li Hao could only accept his fate and stepped forward and knelt in front of Li Er: "Your Majesty, it's all the fault of the minister. This matter is all the only one's idea. Your Highness was just bewitched by the minister..."

Li Er narrowed his eyes slightly. Just as he was about to speak, Li Chengqian suddenly knelt down next to him and said anxiously: "Father, don't listen to Dejian's nonsense. In fact, all this is the idea of ​​the minister and has nothing to do with Dejian. If you want to punish him, just punish him."

"Your Highness..." Li Hao was anxious at the time when he heard Li Chengqian say this, thinking that you are causing trouble with me.

I took things alone, not to save you from sin.

Now that you are disturbing yourself, wouldn’t you even have someone to communicate with the only savior Queen?

"Cough!" Li Er let out a dry cough and attracted the attention of the two guys kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "Li Dejian, do you know that forging a letter of state is no different from plotting against rebellion, and it is to break the three tribes!"

"What? Conspiracy, conspiracy?" Li Hao was stunned at the time. Why didn't anyone tell me that the consequences were so serious when he was engraving the seal.

Li Chengqian murmured with a dejected expression: "Idiot."

The same thought also emerged in Li Er's mind. Looking at Li Hao, who was foolish husband, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was not even angry. He turned to look at Li Chengqian and said, "You are still a little responsible. Since that's the case, someone will come and take the prince to Zongzheng Temple, and be thirty years old and be in jail for three months."

"No!" Four golden armored imperial guards rushed into the door, and without saying a word, they took Li Chengqian, who was lost to his parents, out.

Seeing that Li Chengqian was taken away, Li Hao was anxious and raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, although your highness is wrong, it is a reason for the matter. I hope your Majesty will make a fuss about his view to helping save my people in the Tang Dynasty."

"Li Dejian, before pleading for the rebellious son, please think about your own affairs." Li Er had a cold face and was extremely serious, making people unable to see what he was thinking about.

Li Hao was also in a mess at this moment. He only wanted to get a fake letter of nationality to deceive people, but never thought that the consequences would be so serious. Now that Li Chengqian has been taken to Zongzheng Temple, he has to face Li Er's anger. If he had known this, he would not have made that damn "passport" out at the beginning.

Seeing Li Hao hanging his head and not speaking, Li Er snorted: "I don't speak, but I feel dissatisfied. I think I'm a bit too much?"

You are the emperor and you have the final say. Li Hao said in a frustrated manner: "I dare not."

"I dare not, that means I still thought about it." Li Er stood up, took his hand and walked back and forth a few steps in front of Li Hao. Seeing that he was speechless again, he continued, "Since you insist on pleading for the prince, I can give you a chance."

Seeing that things had turned around, Li Hao hurriedly said, "Please speak with your Majesty."

"Take Fu Yun down, I will see Fu Yun's head on his neck and use his head to exchange for peace between you and the prince. You can agree to this condition."

What are you kidding? Li Hao can hardly believe his ears.

Fu Yun is also the king of the country after all. Although he doesn’t say that mosquitoes and flies are not close to him, he can be called a master.

Several years later, Duan Zhixuan led tens of thousands of cavalry to chase thousands of miles and was run away by him. What did he do to deal with him?

"Why, don't you dare to agree?"

Li Hao simply threw the pot and gave up: "Your Majesty, you'd better kill me directly. Fu Yun is the lord of a country after all. How can you ask me to take his head alone?"

"Okay, someone is here..."

Looking at another group of imperial guards coming in, Li Hao waved his hands repeatedly: "Oh, no, no, your majesty, everything is easy to discuss, it is easy to discuss!"

"Can you negotiate?"

"Uh..." At this moment, Li Hao understood. The purpose of Li Er tossed himself like this was to warn himself to be sensible in doing things, to be respectful of the Tang Dynasty court, and not to ignore the consequences when he was angry.

This should be the sequelae of the previous series of events.

However, this understanding is a bit late. If I could have realized this earlier...

Well, Li Hao must admit that in fact, his old man reminded himself a long time ago, but he didn't care.

In his opinion, life in the Tang Dynasty was more like a game. He wandered among the major forces with the foresight, regarded everyone as chess pieces, and looked at everything from a bystander perspective, so that Li Er's desire to control everything was ignored.

As the founding emperor, Li Er's desire for control is undoubtedly the strongest, and he will never allow anyone to wander outside his control.

If such a person exists, then the result will be death.

What a painful understanding. If I could understand this earlier, how could I have reached this point today?

After figuring this out, Li Hao smiled bitterly and said to Li Er: "Your Majesty, the emperor is not a hungry soldier. I really have no choice but to deal with Fu Yun alone. At least you can give me some support, even if it is a letter of state or a mission."
