Kong Yingda said slowly: "Back to Your Majesty, Fusang was originally a foreigner, not educated by our emperor, not familiar with etiquette, and his words and deeds may be offensive, which is really understandable. ”

Kong Yingda is worthy of being a generation of Confucianism, and he really has a set of words when he speaks, at least this sentence makes Li Shimin unable to refute it, once he refutes it, it will make people feel that he is too mindless as a heavenly khan.

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he suddenly came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the words of Confucius sacrifice wine are wrong. ”

Li Shimin seemed to have seen a savior, and hurriedly said: "Oh, what does Fang Qing have a high opinion? ”

Fang Xuanling said: "Back to Your Majesty, my Datang is prestigious, and there are many people who come to the court, but no one has ever been so disrespectful to Datang as Fusang." ”

Kong Yingda immediately argued: "No, the servant shot the wrong shot, although the states that came to the dynasty in the past were also foreign people, but most of them bordered my Datang, or had trade with my Datang, and they have gradually understood my Tang etiquette, Fusang is far away from the East China Sea, isolated and hanging islands, and I don't know anything about my Tang education." ”

When Ghost Liu and Ito heard Kong Yingda speak for them, they were so moved that they couldn't do it, and they thought that there were still good people in Datang, otherwise they were afraid that their bodies would stay in Datang this time, and their heads would be sent back to China.

Fang Xuanling didn't know how to refute it, Li Shimin hurriedly raised his hand when he saw this: "Okay, don't argue between the two of you, the matter of the Japanese state being a vassal will be postponed." ”

Li Shimin ended the court meeting in a word, and the major courtiers left the Taiji Hall in groups and came out of the Chengtian Gate.

Li Hao waited outside for a long time, his nose was frozen red, and finally when they came out, everyone also saw Li Hao, and they were surprised, before Li Hao could speak, a group of people walked towards him, and the identities of these people were amazing, Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, Cheng Biting Jin, Qin Qiong,...... It seems that except for Li Jing, all the people who had dinner together at Qin Qiong's house last time surrounded them.

The other ministers were stunned, especially Kong Yingda, when he saw this scene, he was very confused, when did this bastard get acquainted with the most awesome bigwigs in the court?

The eldest grandson Wuji was the first to walk up to Li Hao, smiled and asked, "Poetry madness, why are you here?" ”

"Hello uncles, boy, polite." Li Hao saluted them, and then replied, "The kid came to ask, how did Your Majesty decide on the matter of the Japanese state being a vassal?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji just wanted to answer, but Cheng Yanjin preemptively said: "Hold it off later." ”

Li Hao frowned when he heard this: "Why did you postpone the discussion?" ”

Cheng bit his golden mouth quickly, and said first: "It's not Kong Yingda's old killer, we have all caught the sore feet of the envoy of the Japanese country, and this old killer jumped out to speak for the envoy of the Japanese country, and even the old house can't argue with him." ”

Fang Xuanling was embarrassed for a while when he heard this, coughed lightly, and sighed helplessly: "It was our miscalculation, presumably Your Majesty is not comfortable at the moment." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Don't worry, no matter how eloquent Kong Yingda is, he can't change His Majesty's will, and the matter of being a vassal of the Japanese State can't be done." ”

"In this way...... Fang Xuanling frowned, "The matter of reducing the tribute reward and restricting the teaching of craftsmanship cannot be mentioned for the time being, otherwise a corrupt Confucian like Kong Yingda will definitely oppose it." ”

Qin Qiong frowned and said, "What if he opposes it, as long as His Majesty supports it." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand and said: "Brother Shubao, things are not as simple as you think, Kong Yingda and they will definitely persecute Your Majesty on the grounds of righteousness, Your Majesty is respected as the Khan of Heaven by Fanbang, and cares more about fame than us, this is the key point that Kong Yingda has choked." ”

Li Hao has been listening silently and did not speak, because he knows that this is a political matter, and it is already an act of arrogance to inquire by himself, and he must not make any more remarks, although Li Shimin has played against him on this matter, but he is not a person in the court after all, and his name is not right, even if Li Shimin does not blame himself, he does not want to give people a handle.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling analyzed it well, if no one can argue with Kong Yingda and occupy the righteousness, then this matter will be difficult to implement, although the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling are talented, but they are bound by the times, they will definitely not be able to argue with Kong Yingda in this matter, unless Li Hao appears, but Li Hao only has a noble title, no official position, and cannot go to the court, so he can only be temporarily stranded at this time.

Li Hao is a little depressed, fortunately, he will be eighteen after the New Year, in this era, eighteen years old is a watershed, even if you get married before the age of eighteen, it is difficult to be regarded as an adult, but after the age of eighteen, that is an adult, then Li Hao will not have a lot of restraints, can do a lot of things.

After bidding farewell to the bigwigs, Li Hao and Lu Yun went to Taibai Building in Xishi, because he made an appointment with Du Hong to meet in Taibai Building.

By the time he arrived at Taibai Building, Du Hong had already arrived for a while, and even the dinner table was ready.

Li Hao asked Lu Yun and Du Hong to sit down and eat with him, and then talked about buying a house, Du Hong came one by one, just now he had gone to Yahang to see it, and he took a fancy to the two facades, and he couldn't decide for a while, and wanted Li Hao to go and see it in person.

Li Hao nodded in agreement, rested for a while after lunch, and went to see the store with him.

The two stores are good, the size is moderate, divided into two floors, there is a store on Zhuque Street, Li Hao is happy, this is a street of the powerful, not far from the Taiji Palace, Li Hao decisively chose this store, and then went home to draw decoration drawings.

Ten days later, the decoration of the store was completed, Li Hao introduced all the mirrors and glass products into the store, opened, the name of the store was Qi Bao Zhai, this store was in charge of his cheap father-in-law, the price of all the things in it was set by Li Hao, the price was clearly marked, and it was frighteningly expensive.

A palm-sized mirror, 99 guan, even the smallest mirror sells for 49 guan, the largest mirror, 998 guan, as for some other glass wine glasses, glass decorative bottles, the price is also expensive, ordinary round glass wine glass 199 guan, square glass 299 guan, goblet 399guan.

All the customers who came in were amazed to see such beautiful glass products and mirrors, and they gasped when they saw the price.

Although the price of glass products scared off a large number of guests, there are still many rich people in Datang, especially Chang'an, which is simply a concentration camp for the powerful.

Although it was the first day of opening, Li Hao did not come forward, he had been drinking tea on the second floor of the teahouse opposite, looking at his shop through the window, and waited until it was almost closed in the evening, before coming to the store, asking the old man to close, and then began to count the money.

There was so much money that it had been piled up into a hill, and there were copper coins and silver, and even gold cakes, and it took half an hour to count them, and the total amount of money received was six thousand five hundred yuan, and the people were not surprised to hear this number, for they were numb with shock when they saw the mountain of gold and silver.

Six thousand five hundred, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a daily gold, Li Hao is a little worried, although this is Chang'an, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, but such a money-making business, there will definitely be people who are red-eyed, he regrets it a little, he shouldn't have done this business alone, although it is very profitable, but this money seems to be a little unstable.

He thought about it for a long time, and finally made up his mind that he had to pull a heavyweight partner, who is the most powerful person in the world, it must be Li Shimin, well, this time go and cooperate with Li Shimin, no one wants to get along with money.

So, Li Hao came to the outside of the Taiji Palace in the middle of the night and asked to face the saint.

Li Shimin reviewed the recital outside the Ganlu Hall for a day, and finally could rest for a while and start to have dinner, when suddenly Jin Wuwei came to report, and Li Hao asked to face the saint.

Li Shimin didn't even think about it: "Xuan!" ”

Li Hao went to the outside of the Ganlu Hall under the leadership of Jin Wuwei, dressed a little, entered the hall, and found that Li Shimin was having dinner on the dragon case, and hurriedly knelt down: "Wechen took the liberty to ask to see and disturb His Majesty's meal, Wechen is guilty." ”

"Poetry is flat." Li Shimin was in a good mood, and after Li Hao stood up, he asked, "Poet maniac, have you had dinner?" ”

Li Hao replied honestly: "I haven't eaten yet." ”

"Someone!" Li Shimin said loudly, "Prepare a meal for Li Hao and dine with me!" ”

Li Hao was shocked when he heard this, and had dinner with Li Shimin, this is a great honor, people who are not cronies are not qualified, Li Hao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Longen, Weichen...... Flattered. ”

Li Shimin smiled and said, "It's just a meal, what are you panicking, take a seat." ”

"Yes." Li Hao took his seat, and after a while, the meal came up.

A four-way dish, brine duck, boiled vegetables, stir-fried bean sprouts, tomato egg soup, visually this tomato egg soup is plagiarized from Taibai Lou, but it seems to be a little bad.

Looking at the four dishes on the case, Li Hao sighed secretly in his heart: "Li Shimin, Li Shimin, you killed your two brothers, sharpened your head and sat on the throne, in order to review the mountain-like music and eat these things every day?" Aren't you looking for a bad time? ”

Of course, he didn't dare to say these words, otherwise Li Shimin would definitely call Jin Wuwei to come in and cut him into pieces, after all, the Xuanwumen incident was his rebellion, and no one dared to mention it in front of him, including Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji.

Li Shimin saw Li Hao looking at the food in a daze, and said with a light smile: "Poet, you are known as the god of food in the Tang Dynasty, and my dishes may be difficult for you to see, so you will eat them." ”

"Wechen doesn't dare." Li Hao hurriedly said humbly, "Even if Your Majesty gives swill, Weichen will definitely eat not a drop left." ”

"You sycophant." Li Shimin scolded with a smile and said, "There is a way to eat without saying anything, if you have anything to say, you will talk about it after eating." ”

"Yes." Li Hao picked up the chopsticks and started eating, the meals were a bit much, but Li Hao said all the words, and he ate all the meals.

Li Shimin's appetite seemed to be poor, and he didn't finish a bowl of rice, he saw that Li Hao's dishes were clean, and he couldn't help laughing: "You really don't have any leftovers." ”

Li Hao said: "Who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard work, and Weichen does not dare to waste food." ”

"Who knows that Chinese food is hard work?" Li Shimin groaned lightly when he heard this, nodded and said, "Okay, well said, this is your newly written poem?" ”

Li Hao was embarrassed for a while, and said it casually, but he didn't expect to pull out the verses, since Li Shimin asked, he could only nod: "Back to Your Majesty, yes." ”

Li Shimin said: "What is the whole poem, read it to me." ”

"Yes." Li Hao got up slowly and began to chant, "At noon on the day of hoeing, sweat drops fall into the soil. Who knows that Chinese food is hard work. ”

After listening to Long Yan Dayue, Li Shimin praised the festival: "Okay, good poems, those literati should write more poems like this, by the way, what is the name of this poem?" ”

Li Hao replied: "Back to Your Majesty, this poem is called "Compassion for Nong", which was written by Weichen when he saw the old farmers working in the field. ”

"You have a good poem! Well done! Li Shimin got up and walked off the throne, came to Li Hao, and said: "The Tang Dynasty is based on agriculture, and agriculture is the biggest thing in my Tang Dynasty, but those kings and grandsons have forgotten the people's sufferings in the golden house. ”
