After the two drank the tea in the cup, Li Hao took out a pen and paper, wrote a long list of recipes and handed it to Wei Zheng, and said: "Lord Wei, this is the recipe that the kid prescribes for you, some dishes are more complicated, if no one in your house can make it, go directly to Taibai Lou to buy it, and the kid will tell the shopkeeper of Taibai Lou not to make you money." Fastest update"

Wei Zheng smiled and waved his hand, and said, "No need, you Li Hao's famous iron rooster is not a dime, Wei doesn't want to take advantage of you, how much should it be, or how much money." ”

Li Hao touched his nose in embarrassment, is this scolding himself, this old guy is really, too much to get off the stage, no wonder he has no friends.

Then Wei Zheng summoned Wei Shuyu, handed him the recipe, and asked him to send someone to the kitchen to cook according to the recipe, and Wei Shuyu took the recipe and respectfully retreated.

While waiting for the dish, Wei Zheng lifted the teapot to pour tea for Li Hao, so that a big guy like Wei Zheng could pour tea, Li Hao was honestly afraid, Wei Zheng and the eldest grandson Wuji were different, Li Hao admired Wei Zheng from the bottom of his heart, it was difficult to be so ruthless to be a man, because he was so ruthless to himself, let alone to others, at least he Li Hao would never be able to do it.

After Wei Zheng added tea to the teacups of the two, he pointed to the teapot and smiled: "This tea, you created it." ”

Li Hao smiled and nodded: "Yes, it was invented by the kid, but you are Gao Mo, the most inferior kind." ”

Wei Zheng said indifferently: "The taste of drinking tea is the kind of tea, and the old man also has a little good tea at home, but the old man feels that since you are the founder of this kind of tea, you don't care if it is good tea." ”

Li Hao's eyebrows twitched when he heard this, a few meanings, dare to love Lao Tzu saved your life, and you can't even drink a good tea at your house, this Nima is even more slamming than Lao Tzu.

"Okay, let's not talk about tea." Wei Zheng waved his hand, and suddenly said, "Recently, the old man has become much better, and he also went to Menxia Province to ask about the affairs of the past six months, and you have been promoted again." ”

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't this very strange?" ”

Wei Zheng smacked his lips and said, "According to your merits, there is nothing to say about your promotion, but the old man is puzzled, why did you refuse the post of supervising the imperial history?" ”

Li Hao was stunned when he heard this, and when he saw Wei Zheng's slightly frowning appearance, he suddenly shouted: "Could it be that Lord Wei, you recommended me to Your Majesty?" ”

"Exactly." Wei Zheng nodded and said, "In August last year, the old man was unable to go to the court due to illness, and His Majesty came to visit the old man in person...... Alas......"

Li Hao was shocked when he heard this, Wei Zheng recommended himself to be the supervisor of the imperial history, and it was the same as his previous official position, what does it mean? Wei Zheng is planning to make himself his successor? Fortunately, fortunately, he was witty and refused, he didn't want to be the second Wei Zheng.

"A few days ago, His Majesty came to visit the old man again." Wei Zheng suddenly took a sip of the teacup and said slowly, "He asked the old man who should be appointed as the crown prince." ”

Li Hao was shocked when he heard this, but his face did not show anything, pretending to be nothing, and said: "This matter has been discussed by the court more than a month ago, but there has been no result so far. ”

Wei Zheng stared at Li Hao with both eyes and said, "Aren't you curious?" ”

"Curious about what?" Li Hao pretended to be confused.

Wei Zheng put down the teacup and said, "Curious...... How did the old man answer the emperor? ”

"yes." Li Hao seemed to have just remembered, and asked, "Lord Wei, how did you return to the emperor?" ”

Wei Zheng couldn't see the slightest difference from Li Hao's face, his expression slowed slightly, and he sighed and said, "The old man replied with four words, and the dragon gave birth to nine sons." ”

Li Hao was stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly, Wei Zheng's meaning was obvious, the dragon gave birth to nine sons, none of them were dragons, not that Li Shimin was cuckolded, but that none of Li Shimin's sons could enter Wei Zheng's eyes, and none of them could be qualified for the position of emperor, so Wei Zheng finally replied to Li Shimin with the words "dragon gave birth to nine sons", that is to say, Wei Zheng did not choose anyone.

Hearing this, Li Hao asked: "Your Majesty has so many princes, is there no one who can be the crown prince?" ”

Wei Zheng said: "Although there are many princes in the emperor, but now only King Wu and King Wei and King Jin can be the prince, King Jin is only fifteen years old, and his temperament is weak, there is no king's style, first of all, although King Wei is smart, but his body, I am afraid that it is not the appearance of longevity, and King Wei is narrow-minded, intolerant, not the best candidate, as for King Wu, he barely has a bit of imperial style, but unfortunately, he is the grandson of Emperor Yang, and he has Emperor Yang's blood in his body, and the throne can never fall into his hands." ”

Li Hao was speechless when he heard this, Wei Zheng's eyesight is indeed unique, and he listed the shortcomings of each prince, and analyzed it very accurately, Li Zhi's biggest weakness is his weak character, and Li Zhi's ability to be the emperor in history is estimated to have taken half a lifetime of luck.

After Wei Zheng finished analyzing, he said slowly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty is now in a tough body, wait for this year, wait for the other princes to grow up, and then make a decision." ”

Li Hao was depressed for a while when he heard this, there is a saying that the country is easy to change, his nature is difficult to change, Li Zhi's personality is weak, this is difficult to change, even if he is capable, can he suddenly make Li Zhi become Li Daring? If you want to help Li Zhi seize the reserve, it seems that you can only do it in a roundabout way, and it is the best policy to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses.

When Li Hao returned home, he found that Li Zhizheng and Wu Meiniang were chatting in the small pavilion by the pond, the two were talking and laughing, and they were chatting quite highly, Li Hao was suddenly angry, it was really the emperor who was not in a hurry, the eunuch was in a hurry, and he broke his heart for him, but he had no heart and no lungs to flirt with this fox spirit, he really wanted to go up and catch him and smoke him.

As soon as Li Hao approached, Wu Meiniang's face changed greatly, and she hurriedly smiled, lowered her head and saluted respectfully: "Master Hou." ”

When Li Zhi saw Li Hao coming suddenly, he was also flustered, as if he had done something wrong and was discovered, because Li Hao had told him to stay away from Wu Meiniang, but Li Zhi still had a relationship with Wu Meiniang, so he naturally felt that he had done something wrong, so he was so panicked.

Seeing Li Zhi's frightened appearance, Li Hao was annoyed for no reason, he wanted to point at Li Zhi and yelled: "You are a prince, you are afraid that Lao Tzu will be a hair, people say that you are weak, you know no!" Can you show some manhood! ”

However, Li Hao knew that the more he scolded him, the more he would make Li Zhi timid and weak, so he could only pretend to be very indifferent, stepped forward, and said with a smile: "The two of you...... What about chatting? ”

Li Zhi nodded awkwardly: "Well, what about chatting." ”

Li Hao wanted to ask them what they were talking about, but thinking that it was not good to ask like this, he said: "You go on, His Royal Highness King Jin, after chatting, I will go to the study and find you for something." ”

"Oh, go now, we're done." Li Zhi's weak nature was revealed again.

Li Hao nodded helplessly: "Okay, let's go together." ”

With that, the two walked side by side towards the middle courtyard.

When he came to the study, Li Hao invited Li Zhi to sit down, and said with a solemn face: "Your Highness, to this day, I have an important matter to tell you. ”

Li Zhi saw Li Hao's serious expression, so he also followed the stiff face, spread his hands and said, "Poetry madness, please speak." ”

Li Hao stared at Li Zhi for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Your Highness, do you want to be the crown prince?" ”

"Huh?" Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this, a little confused.

"Do you want to be the crown prince?" Li Hao asked again.

Li Zhi was shocked, stared at Li Hao with wide eyes, and was a little stunned for a while, speechless.

"Do you want to be the crown prince?" Li Hao repeated it again.

Li Zhi was silent for a moment, and then muttered, "I...... Didn't think ......"

Li Hao sighed secretly when he heard this, a look of disappointment flashed across his face, and then he said, "Think about it now, do you want to be the prince?" ”

Li Zhi didn't hesitate, and immediately nodded: "Yes." ”

Seeing him so simply, Li Hao was a little surprised and asked, "Why?" ”

Li Zhidao: "If you become a prince, you can be an emperor." ”

"And then?"

Li Zhi said seriously: "If you become an emperor, you can govern the country, so that the people can be fed, clothed warmly, and live a good life." ”

It was a very simple word, and it even sounded a little naïve, but Li Hao was very moved, he took a long breath, and said slowly: "Just say this to Your Highness, I will do my best to help you win the crown prince." ”

Li Zhi looked at Li Hao with wide eyes in surprise, and after being stunned for a moment, he bowed solemnly and saluted: "Thank you poetically!" ”

After he straightened up, he suddenly said: "But I don't want the poet maniac to take risks for the sake of the rule, the poet maniac, you must not mess around." As he grew older, he also knew that the competition for the crown prince was very terrible, and Li Chengqian was a good example.

"Your Highness, rest assured." Li Hao said confidently, "I am measured, I will never let you and me fall into danger, and I will definitely persuade your father and emperor in the most peaceful way to make you the crown prince." ”

"Hmm." Li Zhi nodded and asked, "Do you need me to do anything?" ”

Li Hao said: "I don't need you to do anything for the time being, you just need to live like before and live kindly, and I will inform you when I need you to do something." ”

Li Zhi scratched his head, feeling like a waste, in fact, his idea was right, now he is basically a waste.

Li Hao continued: "Your Highness, you have a big disadvantage in competing for the position of crown prince. ”

"I know." Li Zhi hung his head and said, "Except for you, there are no ministers who support me. ”

"No, you're wrong." Li Hao shook his head and said with a solemn face, "Although the support of the ministers is important, it is not the most important, after all, it is your father who ultimately decides the choice of the crown prince, not these ministers." ”

Li Zhi was surprised when he heard this: "Then what is my disadvantage?" ”

"Your disadvantage is ...... The emperor is not optimistic about you. ”

Li Zhi's whole face was twisted into a bitter gourd when he heard this, but he immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Forget it, I still don't fight for the position of prince." ”

Li Hao really wanted to go up and kick him against the wall, and even had the courage to fight for others, what is weakness, this is weakness, it is too special to be angry.

Li Haoqiang held back the anger in his heart and said slowly: "Your Highness, the reason why the emperor is not optimistic about you is because your temperament is too weak, to put it ugly, you are cowardly." ”

Li Zhi raised his eyes and glanced at Li Hao, did not speak, and acquiesced.

Li Hao's eyes rolled, and he suddenly asked, "Your Highness, do you like Wu Meiniang?" ”

Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this, this topic jumped a little fast, he was a little stunned for a while, and only after a while did he react, nodded with a red face and said, "I like it." Although Li Zhi is weak, he is very honest, at least when facing Li Hao, he is more honest.

Li Hao nodded and said, "Very good, I will marry Wu Meiniang tomorrow and marry her." ”

"You ......" Li Zhi suddenly got up when he heard this, glared and shouted, "No!" ”
