The prince was originally invited to save people by the princess for this matter, so after hearing Sun Sheng's words, he said to Li Hao: "You see, they are just the first offenders. They only need a small punishment but a big punishment." , why do you need to go to war in such a big way?"
Hearing this, Sun Sheng looked happy, thinking that since the prince had spoken, Li Hao should not be able to let go of the punishment, but how could Li Hao give up so easily.
After all, when Li Hao decided to fight Sun Sheng, he knew that the prince would definitely come, so he was naturally prepared to silence the prince.
Speaking of which, this is also the benefit of having the prince in front of you. If it were the third prince who wanted to do something, and you deliberately blocked it, there is no guarantee that he would not have a grudge in his heart.
"Your Highness, what you said is not right. As the saying goes, a small punishment can lead to a big warning. It is precisely because this is their first offense that they must be punished in time so that they can learn from it.
Otherwise, wouldn't it encourage them to neglect their duties and cause a big disaster? It would not just be a matter of chopping the stick. Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince wants to drive them to the guillotine step by step before he is satisfied? "
Upon hearing this, the prince quickly replied: "Zi Yang, don't say this. I have never thought about it, it's just..."
Li Hao didn't let the prince finish what he said, and directly answered: "I also know the difficulties His Highness is in. The Crown Princess asked you to come to plead for mercy. It would be really bad if you come here and nothing can be done.
Well, originally Sun Sheng was supposed to play twenty boards, but now he can just play ten boards like everyone else.
But any less is really not enough. After all, His Majesty asked me to come to the East Palace to serve. Even if I am dissatisfied with the current laxity of the East Palace, I have to make something to show to His Majesty. "
After hearing what Li Hao said, the prince really accepted it in his heart. After all, he was just indecisive and used to making peace with each other, rather than being really ignorant, so he agreed: "Okay, then I will do it according to your idea. Bar."
Seeing that the prince actually agreed, Sun Sheng shouted again, but this time the prince ignored Sun Sheng and left directly.
By this time, Sun Sheng felt a chill in his heart. He knew that he really couldn't escape from this beating, but he wasn't too worried. After all, the executioners among the guards of the East Palace were all his own, and he would just show off later. good.
Sun Sheng just thought that being punished by Li Hao would greatly damage his face. For a person with no ability like him, what he cares about most is face.
After all, the more useless a person is, the more he will be obsessed with those insignificant bottom lines and show his strong self-esteem everywhere, because except for his self-esteem, he really has nothing.
But how could Li Hao really let Sun Sheng pass the test so easily? The person who carried out the execution this time was not the original person of the East Palace, but the personal soldiers specially transferred by Li Hao to carry out the execution. Moreover, Li Hao also gathered all the idle guards of the East Palace. Get up and watch the execution.
When Sun Sheng was escorted over and saw this scene, the incompetent roar that had finally stopped started again, mixed with a lot of curses towards Li Hao, which was obviously very spiteful.
Li Hao, a big man, didn't take this matter to heart. He just gave a simple warning when the executioner asked about the intensity of the attack.
In the end, Sun Sheng was beaten and tortured. Although he was indeed injured a bit more than the others, that was just because everyone's strength was different, and it had nothing to do with Li Hao.
For this reason, Li Hao also took the initiative to punish the executioner and showed it to the prince. Therefore, even though the prince and Sun Sheng knew that Li Hao did it deliberately, the prince did not want to investigate further, and there was nothing they could do against Li Hao.
Although the executioner suffered some losses, Li Hao also gave generous compensation for this, and he was very happy, so everyone was happy.
After this incident, Li Hao had established his authority in the East Palace, and daily drills and disciplines could be implemented smoothly.
But in contrast, the Crown Princess and Sun Sheng's resentment towards Li Hao was growing day by day, and they were deliberately thinking about how to deal with Li Hao.
Li Hao also knew these things well, but he didn't show it. Instead, he pretended to be relaxed and wanted to guide them to take action. After all, if he wanted to deal with the Crown Princess, he had to find a suitable reason.
And Li Hao really doesn't have time to take care of this matter recently, because after the reinforcements of soldiers and horses from Shu, the Qiang rebellion in Longxi has been put down, and Ling Buyi, Wan Songbai, and Cheng Shi are now here On the way back to the capital.
Emperor Wen took this matter very seriously, and early on he ordered people to discuss rewards for the heroes who had contributed to the Ping-Qiang War.
As the crown prince, the prince naturally needs to come forward to discuss matters, and he also shoulders a task specially assigned by Emperor Wen.
This time Emperor Wen planned to give Ling Buyi a good reward, which was not a problem. After all, Ling Buyi had indeed made a lot of contributions in Longxi.
But who told Emperor Wen to make a big move against Ling Buyi? This sudden promotion was too strong, and it was inevitable that some old-fashioned people or people with dissatisfaction would come forward to object.
Therefore, Emperor Wen gave the order to the prince to deal with those nagging people. As the prince, Li Hao was the leader of the order, so he had to accompany the prince to participate and help him deal with this matter.
Of course, Li Hao also had some thoughts on this matter. After all, he fought from Yanzhou to Longxi, and then made great achievements in Shu. It took several years to achieve his current status and official rank.
Then Ling Buyi only fought one battle, and in less than two years, he jumped to the same level as himself, or even higher than himself. Who can be happy about this.
However, Li Hao felt much better when he thought that Ling Buyi was the eldest son of Emperor Wen, who doted on his many descendants.
But when Li Hao was busy persuading those people, someone whom Li Hao didn't expect suddenly appeared outside the Yuan Mansion. This person was Qing Cong who used to follow Xiao Yuanyi.
However, Li Hao was not in the mansion at that time, and Qu Lengjun had heard from Li Hao that he was dating Cheng Shide before, and some of Li Hao's personal guards recognized that it was indeed Qing Cong.
So Qu Lengjun led his people to invite Qing Cong into his residence to have tea and talk. He originally wanted to ask her what was going on here this time, but later he saw that Qing Cong didn't want to say more in front of him, so he didn't get to the bottom of it. I plan to ask myself after Li Hao comes back.
After waiting for a long time, Li Hao returned from the East Palace. As soon as he entered the mansion, he heard that Qing Lai was visiting, so he rushed over.
When Qu Lengjun saw Li Hao arriving, he said, "My husband is back. You must be tired after a hard day. I'll ask the chef to prepare some good meals."
After saying that, he stood up and left, creating an independent space for Li Hao and Qing Cong to talk.
As soon as Qu Lengjun left, Li Hao said to Qingcong: "General Cheng and Mrs. Cheng should be among the army conquering Longyou now. Why did Mrs. Qingcong suddenly return to the capital? But what happened? manage."
Facing Li Hao's question, Qing Cong took the initiative to tell her the purpose of coming: "I came here to ask for help, in order to save the young girl my general left in the capital."
Upon hearing this, Li Hao suddenly remembered that according to the schedule, this should be the time when Cheng Shaoshang was seriously ill and sent to the farm outside the city before the official plot began.
Originally, when he first came to the capital, he went out of his way to arrange things for Cheng Shaoshang, but later on, as Li Hao had more and more things to do, he stopped caring about him.
