Chapter 717: Please help Li Hao
"Say! How not to speak! Li Shimin glared at Li Hao and urged.
Li Hao arched his hand and smiled, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister did not say a word, and did not refute His Majesty's intentions. β
"Oh? So you just agree? Li Shimin looked at Li Hao.
"Forehead ......"
Li Hao is here again.
"Bastard!" Li Shimin slapped the table suddenly, pointed at Li Hao angrily, and said, "You still deny it, as soon as you pout your butt, I know what shit you are going to pull, you obviously don't agree!" β
Li Hao simply stopped going around in circles with him, and nodded slowly: "Your Majesty, I have the courage to say that now may not be the best time to attack Tubo." β
Li Shimin was unhappy, glared and spread his hands and said: "You say, say it well, I want to hear it, what do you think!" β
"I can't talk about it." Li Hao smiled indifferently and arched his hand, "Your Majesty, Songtsen Gampo has been sick in bed for a long time, during this time, he is not able to deal with the government affairs at all, all government affairs in the court and the central government are controlled by the Tubo Prime Minister Garqinling, Songtsan Gampo Xianyou, it will indeed make Tubo chaotic, but with the talent of Garqinling, within twenty days, everything in Tubo can be restored to the same as before." β
Li Shimin's eyebrows frowned when he heard this, and after a long time, he asked in a deep voice: "Garqinling is Lu Dongzan's son." β
"Back to Your Majesty, exactly."
Li Shimin asked again: "How does this Garqin Mausoleum compare with his father?" β
Li Hao said: "Back to Your Majesty, the talent of Garqinling is no longer under his father. β
When Li Shimin heard this, his eyebrows immediately locked, and after a while, he asked again: "Then how does he compare with you?" β
The corners of Li Hao's mouth raised, and he smiled confidently: "He is compared to the minister...... Far from being able to reach it. β
Li Hao's words are very forced, in fact, if you talk about political talent, Li Hao is not as good as Garqinling, but in terms of comprehensive ability, Garqinling is really far inferior to Li Hao, after all, Li Hao is an open-minded traverser.
"Haha! Good! Li Shimin laughed heartily when he heard this, "Since the Garqin Mausoleum is far inferior to you, then what is there to worry about, you will lead the troops to destroy Tubo for me!" β
Li Hao arched his hand again and said: "Your Majesty, some cities are located in the plateau area, the air is thin, if ordinary people rush to the plateau, there will be altitude sickness, these ministers have told you, so the ministers will suggest that Your Majesty occupy the semi-plateau near Qinghai and set up Qinghai Wei, but Qinghai Wei only has 40,000 soldiers, and Tubo has 200,000 soldiers and horses, and His Majesty let the ministers fight against 200,000 with 40,000 soldiers and horses, which seems to be a bit ...... Hehe......"
"You mean to say that it is difficult for me to be strong, right?" Li Shimin looked at Li Hao with a smile.
Li Hao didn't answer, just laughed, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Li Shimin said: "I have thought about this for a long time, when Songtsan Gampo was critically ill, I began to prepare, two months ago, I increased the Qinghai Guard by 40,000 troops, a total of 80,000 soldiers and horses, and now the country has been mobilizing troops year after year, and the troops have been lost, I can only give so much at most, didn't the Western Turks also have more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, Lantian County Gong Fan Lihua led 60,000 troops to destroy the Western Turks, are you Li Shimad not as good as Fan Lihua?" β
Li Hao really wants to hehe again, is the account calculated like this, can the Western Turks be compared with Tubo, Tubo is safely located on the snowy plateau, except for the Tang Dynasty, there are almost no enemies, and the Western Turks are fighting everywhere, with nearly 150,000 troops being restrained by the Persian Great Food and other countries in the west, how can it be compared with Tubo.
But Li Hao couldn't say anything, so he could only lower his eyebrows and be silent.
Li Hao was silent, Li Shimin was unhappy, he wanted to attack the Western Turks, but looking at Li Hao's appearance, he didn't seem to be interested, how could this work.
Li Hao was thinking: You want to fight Tubo, it's easy to do, beg me, if you want me to help, you have to have an attitude of begging for help, and compare Fan Lihua with me, this kind of other people's children's best tricks I have heard since I was a child, and I am most annoyed by these, and my ears are calloused.
Li Hao still plans to help Li Shimin, but so far, Li Shimin's arrogant attitude has made Li Hao very unhappy, asking for help, of course, his posture should be lowered.
Li Shimin also seemed to realize this, and said slowly: "Poetry madness, how old are you this year?" β
Li Hao said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is exactly thirty this year. β
"You're thirty!" Li Shimin was slightly shocked when he heard this, and muttered to himself, "You are all thirty, you are all thirty......"
Because Li Hao looks tender, and his words and deeds are out-of-the-box, not very steady, he doesn't look like a thirty-year-old person at all, so Li Shimin didn't realize that Li Hao was already so old.
"It's so fast, it's so fast, I remember that when you first met me, you were only fourteen years old, and you were ...... So small, so short......" Li Shimin's eyes were full of lustre, and he sighed faintly, "Time flies too fast, it's been sixteen years in a blink of an eye, you've grown up, I'm old, no......"
Li Shimin was immersed in the emotions of reminiscing about the past, Li Hao was inconvenient to disturb, and listened to him quietly, only to hear him continue: "Cao Mengde has poetry, the martyr is strong in his twilight years, but I am old but I don't have any strong heart, I just want to let the Tang Dynasty continue steadily after I return to heaven, Tubo is the biggest hidden danger on my side of the Tang Dynasty, and I have to get rid of it, besides, I will also avenge the revenge of the soldiers besieging Chang'an!" Poet maniac, can you understand my mind? β
Li Hao bowed his head and said: "The minister can understand." β
"You won't understand." Li Shimin slowly stepped down from the throne and paced in front of Li Hao, Li Hao hurriedly stood up, only to hear Li Shimin pacing with his hands and sighing, "Since the beginning of the summer, my heart disease has attacked again, this time it is more fierce than before, only once in May, twice in June, three times in July, five times in August, this September...... It's twenty-five, and I've had six attacks, I'm ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to get through this hurdle. When he said the end, he suddenly turned to look at Li Hao, and there seemed to be a thousand words in his eyes.
Li Hao sighed helplessly, so he could only follow the normal routine, and arched his hand and said in a long voice: "The minister prays to God, I wish Your Majesty a long life and good health!" β
"Don't talk to me about these clichΓ©s, you know that's not what I want!" Li Shimin waved his hand suddenly, strode in front of Li Hao, and said in a low voice, "Every time I have a heart attack, life is better than death, sometimes, I really want to end myself with a knife, but I don't, it's not that I'm afraid of death, but I'm unwilling, because I haven't seen Tubo perish with my own eyes!" I want you to help me destroy Tibet, this is the last wish of my life, you ...... Can you help me? In the end, he stared at Li Hao with his eyes, and his blazing eyes were full of endless helplessness and sadness.
Yes, Li Shimin is Li Shimin, he is used to being a superior, and he even begs for someone with such an attitude of hanging, but I have to say that his generous statement is still very sensational, Li Hao was almost moved, fortunately, he is also a master of acting, he was not fooled by Li Shimin, the expected sincere begging attitude did not appear, if it didn't appear, it didn't appear, everyone is a monarch and minister who has worked together for so long, and there are some feelings, and Li Shimin really won't live long, just pity him, and help him reluctantly, Who made us generous people.
So Li Hao arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to help Your Majesty fulfill your ambition." β
"Good!" Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a little excitement, "If you want to send troops to Tubo, the resistance is not small, the court is full of opposition, this matter has been discussed for half a month, and it has not yet been decided. β
Li Hao frowned when he heard this, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the ministers don't have the ability to move the ministers." β
"Don't be humble, I know you can." Li Shimin smiled and said, "You have fought the ministers in the court many times, and the ministers have been speechless, but I have seen it in my eyes every time." β
Li Hao smiled dryly: "Your Majesty, those things are because the ministers occupy reason, so the ministers can fight on the basis of reason and defeat them......"
"Huh?" Li Shimin twisted his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked with a tiger face, "You mean to say that I don't take advantage of the matter of sending troops?" β
"Absolutely not." Li Hao opened his eyes and said nonsense, "The matter of sending troops, both sides account for half of the reason, but Danchen is alone, how can he fight for dozens of people, Rong Chen asked again, what does the eldest grandson think about this matter?" β
"Alas......" As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji was mentioned, Li Shimin sighed and said, "This time, even the auxiliary machine is not on my side, and together with the ministers, oppose me. β
Li Hao shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, forgive the ministers for daring to say a word, it seems that you are going to ask for another master!" β
"Fart!" Li Shimin glared at him, and said angrily, "Is there anyone in the Manchao Hall who is smarter than you?" β
