Chapter 537: Recruiting Horses
Hearing this, Li Hao and Li Zhi were silent, looking at Li Mingda's firm eyes, Li Hao's heart moved, and he suddenly wanted to slap himself, and then asked himself loudly: "Li Hao, Li Hao, how can you let such an elf-like girl give up everything for you, just to stay with you, but you still want her to suffer everywhere, are you still a man!" ”
As soon as he thought of this, Li Hao couldn't bear it anymore, got up and suddenly bowed to Li Mingda, and said solemnly: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, how can Li Hao be so virtuous, the princess is so loved, Li Hao hereby promises to the two of you, for the rest of your life, heaven and earth are combined, winter thunder and earthquake, the river is exhausted, and it will not live up to it, if it is violated, His Royal Highness the Prince can take off Li Hao's head to sacrifice to the sky!" ”
Li Mingda was excited and happy when he heard this, tears came out of his eyes, and he hugged Li Hao and hugged him tightly, as if he was afraid that he would run away at any time, Li Hao was a little overwhelmed at first, and a little embarrassed, but seeing that Li Zhi turned his back to look at the lotus pond scenery very cooperatively, he reached out and gently supported Li Mingda's back.
The two hugged each other for a long time, Li Mingda suddenly let go of Li Hao, gently wiped away his tears, and said, "Sir, you must remember what you said today." ”
Li Hao nodded: "Rest assured, princess, Li Hao will easily not make a promise, once he promises, he will also fulfill his promise." ”
Li Mingda's eyes lit up and said: "Mr. Yinuo, Mingda is at ease, Brother Childish, let's go back." ”
"Huh? Oh. Li Zhi hurriedly came over and said goodbye to Li Hao.
Li Hao didn't send them this time, but just watched them out of the garden, and after they left, Li Hao sat back at the table and said leisurely: "Come down." ”
I saw a figure sliding down from the top of the Water Pavilion Pavilion, hooking his hand on the eaves, and the person was already standing firmly in front of Li Hao, this person's face was full of smiles at the moment, it was Chen Song.
Li Hao didn't bother to look at him, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and asked slowly, "Did you hear it?" ”
Chen Song shook his head: "I blocked my ears just now, but I didn't hear anything." ”
"You insult my IQ again, believe it or not, I'll smoke you." Li Hao rolled his eyes at him.
Chen Song smacked his lips and said helplessly: "Okay, I heard it, not a word fell." ”
"Alas......" Li Hao sighed and said, "I really don't know how to tell them about this matter, you can help me." ”
Chen Song raised his eyes to look at the roof, pretending not to hear, because he knew who the "they" in Li Hao's mouth were, and they must be Li Hao's wives.
"One hundred taels of gold." Li Hao knew that this matter made Chen Song embarrassed, and began to tempt him with money, and after a long time with Li Hao, Chen Song was also infected with the problem of greed for money, and a generation of masters fell into Si, which shows that Li Hao's corrosiveness is really strong.
Chen Song continued to pretend that he didn't hear it, it wasn't that he was setting up a score, but that he knew that women were difficult to serve, he was a killer, fighting and killing people or something, he could agree without saying a word, dealing with women, and he was also the master mother, that couldn't afford to offend, he really didn't want to go.
Li Hao saw that he was unmoved, and said directly: "One price, one thousand taels of gold, if you don't do it, I'll go find Lu Yun." ”
Hearing this, Chen Song hurriedly said, "Okay, what do you want me to do?" "He and Lu Yun will hurt each other as soon as they meet now, and they must not give up a thousand taels of gold to Lu Yun.
Li Hao said: "You go to the eldest lady, report to him, see how she reacts, and then come back and tell me." ”
"It's as simple as that?" Chen Song looked at Li Hao in disbelief, he didn't expect this thousand taels of gold to be so easy to earn.
Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "It's too simple? Then I'll make it a little more difficult for you. ”
"No need." Chen Song said seriously, "I'll go immediately." After saying that, he ran away like a smoke.
Who is Li Hao's eldest wife, naturally Li Ping, Chen Song went to the door of the inner courtyard to ask to see the eldest lady, Li Ping came out to meet, Chen Song pretended to be mysterious and told Li Ping what Li Hao was discussing in the pavilion today, pretending to be like a small report.
Li Ping frowned slightly after hearing this, and then said in a low voice: "Chen Song, you did a good job this time, if there is such a thing in the future, or the prince is messing with flowers and grass outside, you must inform me as soon as possible, I will have a heavy reward, and you will go to Steward Du to receive the reward, three thousand taels of silver." ”
Chen Song was stunned, and then said happily: "Thank you for the reward." ”
"Okay, you go, don't be discovered by the prince."
Chen Song left happily and reported the results to Li Hao, he was still kind, and told Li Hao about Li Ping's rewards and advice, Li Hao couldn't cry and laugh after hearing it: "This mother-in-law is quite thoughtful, and wants to buy you." ”
Chen Song hurriedly invited credit: "How about it, I'm still very kind, right?" ”
"Well, be kind." Li Hao sighed, "Fortunately, she is also thinking about everyone, as the hostess of the family, it is a good thing to have this heart, you can rest assured to receive the reward, you can receive both copies, but it is cheap for you." ”
"Okay." Chen Song raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and went to receive the reward happily, this time he really made a profit, he passed back and forth twice, and earned 13,000 yuan, and he would be scared to death if he said it.
When Li Hao was chatting with Chen Song here, Li Ping had already summoned all of Li Hao's wives to her room for a women's meeting to discuss this matter.
Although this matter is very big, they don't seem to have any opinions, first of all, Li Mingda is very familiar with them, they can be regarded as watching Li Mingda grow up, a very well-behaved and obedient little girl, polite since she was a child, very sensible, especially cute, several of them like Li Mingda very much, but they didn't expect such a little Lori to come to rob their husband with them when she grew up, which made them a little stunned.
But think about it carefully, Li Mingda, as a princess of the Tang Dynasty and Li Shimin's most beloved daughter, is actually willing to abandon everything, not to be famous, and even willing to become a monk, which shows that she really likes Li Hao, this deep and heavy love, even Qin Su was amazed, in this way, they felt wronged Li Mingda, and they couldn't resist it.
After a discussion at the meeting, Li Ping saw that they didn't object much, so he was relieved, and said: "This matter is a foregone conclusion, not that we can change it, I called you this time, just because I am afraid that you will have resistance, you can think like this, I will rest assured, if Princess Jinyang comes to our house in the future, you can't snub her, let alone bully her." ”
The other four women nodded one after another, in fact, how dare they have such thoughts, in ancient times with strict hierarchies, the concept of identity and status has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, no matter how much they are influenced by Li Hao, saying that everyone is equal, they can't completely change their concepts, how high the princess is, even if the princess gives up everything, they are still in awe and cold? Bully? They couldn't even think about it.
Li Zhi and Li Mingda returned to the palace, the two of them were in the same car along the way, Li Zhi told her a lot of words in the carriage, for his sister, he was most distressed, he lost his mother since he was a child, and he was sick all the year round, don't look at her now she can walk and run, but the problem of qi disease has not been eradicated, until now, the medicine has not stopped, Li Zhi knows that she hates to drink medicine, every time she frowns and swallows down, but she still has to pretend to like it very much, because those medicines can save her life.
After sending Li Mingda back to the dormitory, Li Zhi went back to the East Palace to prepare for the concert of the horses, and the next day, Li Zhi took the concert to see Li Shimin.
After Li Shimin watched Li Zhi's recital, he smiled and nodded: "Well, yes, very good, Zhi'er, you are really getting more and more presentable now." ”
Li Zhi bowed his head slightly and said, "This is all well cultivated by my father." ”
Li Shimin put down the song and said: "Wait for me to discuss with the ministers, if they have no objections, this matter of selecting a horse will be handled by you personally, and the royal brother will choose a horse for the royal sister, which is also a good story, haha......" After Li Shimin finished speaking, he smiled happily, not knowing that he had been calculated by his two children, although it was a calculation, but this lie did not have the slightest malice, from beginning to end, the brother and sister were full of filial piety and love for Li Shimin.
In the afternoon, Li Shimin summoned more than a dozen important ministers to the Ganlu Palace, and took out Li Zhi's recital to discuss with them.
In fact, it is said that there are a few people who have the ability to marry the emperor's daughter, and it would be good to be able to watch the excitement on the sidelines, even if there are people who sign up, it is important to participate.
The ministers didn't have much opinion on Li Zhi's recital, after all, Li Shimin married his daughter, and it was this kind of open selection competition, everyone relied on their own abilities, and they had no reason to object, so in the end, this recital passed easily.
Li Shimin immediately ordered Li Zhi to lead the Ministry of Rites to organize the recruitment of horses and horses, and the next day, the emperor posted to the major notice boards in Chang'an, as well as the surrounding states and counties, scheduled to be on the fifth day of the fifth day of May Duanyang Festival for the princess of Jinyang to recruit horses, all the people of the Tang Dynasty can go to their respective counties and prefectures to sign up, participate in the civil and military screening, as for the official eunuchs, princes and nephews, they can go directly to the Ministry of Rites to register.
As soon as the emperor list came out, Chang'an was boiling, and the surrounding states and counties were also boiling, and there were many people who signed up, although the chances of ordinary people marrying a princess were very small, but many people had the idea of flying on the branches to become phoenixes, and some people signed up for a very simple purpose, they just wanted to meet the emperor and the princess and see the face of the sky.
The yamen of the Ministry of Rites and the yamen of the state capitals were so busy that all the yamen were crowded every day, lined up in a long line, first tested the martial arts, and then tried the text, countless people were eliminated, and countless people continued to sign up, going forward and succeeding.
Just when Chang'an was busy recruiting horses, Fan Lihua had already led an army of 20,000 through the Yinshan Prairie to start a war with Xue Yantuo.
This is Fan Lihua's first expedition after entering the Tang Dynasty, which is related to her future status in the Tang Dynasty, it stands to reason that she should be very cautious, but Fan Lihua is not afraid of the tail, after entering the grassland, she actually went deep alone, committing a taboo in the army.
However, the result was unexpected, when Xue Yantuo learned that the Tang army was coming, he was a little scared at first, but it was not lost Khan Dumo heard that the Tang army only sent 20,000 troops this time, and the commander was actually a female general, Dumo smiled, he swelled, very inflated, he gave up the original plan to retreat, and decided to take the initiative, he threatened to leave all the 20,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty in the prairie, and also capture the heroine of the Tang Dynasty called Fan Lihua, and then accept it as a slave girl.
