Seeing Li Hao's embarrassment, Li Shimin seemed to realize that his words were a bit excessive, and hurriedly diverted the topic: "Poetry maniac, I haven't seen you for two years, you have grown taller, you should be twenty this year." ”

Li Hao bowed his head and arched his hand: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is just the year of the weak crown this year." ”

"In the blink of an eye, you're twenty years old." Li Shimin got up and walked down the throne, paced in front of Li Hao, and sighed, "I vaguely remember that when you first met me, you were only fourteen years old, and you were ...... at that time He looks like a milky kid. ”

Li Hao didn't speak, Li Shimin paced with his hands, and continued: "At that time, in the Taiji Palace, you also let out a fart, a very loud fart, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, no one has ever dared to fart on the Taiji Palace, even if you have a fart, you have to hold it." ”

Li Hao pretended to be frightened when he heard this, and said: "Weichen deserves ten thousand deaths." ”

"If you deserve to die, there are still a few people under that sky who deserve to live." Li Shimin smiled and said, "Your fart is good, it's pretty good......"

Li Hao's eyebrows twitched, and his words sounded like scolding.

Li Shimin's eyebrows danced lightly, and he said leisurely: "At that time, I and Wei Zheng faced each other in the court and refused to give in to each other, it was one of your farts that eased the atmosphere and resolved the contradiction between me and Wei Zheng. ”

"Wechen is terrified." He said panic in his mouth, but he snorted coldly in his heart, "Yes? Hehe, you are so subtle, you are tearing up, are you hurting each other, okay? ”

"Don't be afraid." Li Shimin was in a very good mood, reached out and patted Li Hao's shoulder gently, and said, "Poet, you are very good." ”

Li Hao was confused when he heard this, so he could only arch his hand and say, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise." ”

"What's wrong with this?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said, "Leading 4,000 people to resist the 70,000 troops of Gaochang and the Western Turks, looking at the world, how many people can do it?" ”

Li Hao said solemnly: "This is due to luck, plus the military and people of Tingzhou are united. ”

"What a one." Li Shimin sighed loudly, "Poetry madness, God is fortunate that you were born in the Tang Dynasty and became my Aiqing, if you were born in Tubo, I am afraid that I will have a headache." ”

"Your Majesty rest assured." Li Hao said solemnly, "Weichen is a Tang Dynasty man in life, and he is a Tang soul in death." ”

"You've grown up." Li Shimin looked at Li Hao meaningfully, "It's no longer the bastard boy I used to be." ”

Li Hao hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the nature of the country is easy to change, and Weichen is still the lazy and greedy bastard he used to be, but now he is not a teenager." ”

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, then raised his head and laughed, and pointed Li Hao with his fingers: "You, you...... If a good hero boy doesn't do it, why do you have to be a bastard. ”

Li Hao smiled dryly: "Your Majesty, no one is born a hero, and no one is born a bastard, although Weichen has a bloody chest, but his temperament is lazy, if Datang needs Weichen, Weichen will naturally sway his blood to stand up, facing the strong enemy Hulu, every inch of land will be contested, but if the territory of Datang is stable and the people live in peace, then Weichen just wants to be a rich man with no ambitions and live his own free life." ”

Li Hao was speechless for a long time when he heard this, he could hear it completely, this was Li Hao's true words, but it was a bowl of poisonous chicken soup, not inspirational at all, which is what a heroic man who has just made immortal achievements should say, there is no expected pride and enthusiasm, only this bowl of poisonous chicken soup.

"You......" Li Shimin shook his head helplessly, a trace of disappointment flashed on his face, and he waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about this, drink two glasses with me." ”

After he said that, he clapped his hands vigorously, and Xu Lian outside the hall suddenly shouted: "Pass the food!" Serve! ”

The two teams of Gong E walked in with broken steps, the two in front of them carried a small case, the second person held a cushion in his hand, the third person held a wine jug in his hand, the fourth person held a large pot of braised pork, the fifth person, the sixth person ......

Starting from the fourth person, each of the palace ladies in the back carried a meal and delicacies, and after they came in, they set up a small table and cushions, and put wine and food on it, half of which was placed on Li Shimin's imperial case, and half on the small case.

Li Shimin sat down after returning to the imperial case, spread his hands and said, "Poetry maniac, take a seat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Hao thanked him and took a seat.

As soon as Li Hao sat down, Li Shimin poured a glass of wine and slowly groaned: "The west wind is fierce!" Put the wine in the blue sky, look at the thousands of clouds, it should be a bright moon. Night Frost Cold! Laughing and sighing in the past and present, those who guard thousands of miles of frontier should be the sons of the border. ”

After he finished chanting, he looked at Li Hao with a smile and said: "Poetry madness, this poem "West Wind Spirit" is deep and heavy, majestic and desolate, when I first heard it, I felt that the killing atmosphere was very heavy, and it was better than thousands of troops and horses, so tell me what kind of situation it was when I wrote this poem. ”

Li Hao said: "Back to Your Majesty, at that time, the traitor Cao Tian sent someone to rob the only youngest son of the shopkeeper Li of the Longchang grain shop, and sent him to the Devil's City horse thief's den more than two hundred miles away in the north, in order to blackmail the shopkeeper Li to close his doors, not sell rice grain, and want to create panic in the city, in order to suppress Weichen, Weichen sent twenty-eight parts to rush hundreds of miles to the horse thief's lair to rescue the hostages, worried about their safety, looking at the north on the north city wall, and waiting for them to return, at that time, the west wind was strong, Weichen casually chanted this poem, in fact, This is not only a poem for Wechen, but also Wechen's state of mind at that time. ”

"Hmm." Li Shimin nodded, "The mood is both the artistic conception, this poem is neat and novel, I especially like the last sentence 'Laughing and sighing ancient and modern, guarding thousands of miles of frontiers, should be the border Erlang', just for this sentence, when floating a white!" So he took his glass and drank it.

Seeing this, Li Hao also drank a glass, fortunately, it was not a strong drink.

As soon as Li Shimin put down the wine glass, he poured another glass, pressed his hand on the dragon case, and chanted again: "The army of the lonely city outside the fortress is drumming, and there are 100,000 horses and dust. The east wind blows up the hero's dream, and the three thousand children can be broken. Li Shimai, you deserve to be Li Shimai, if you want to ask in today's world, who can write such a bold poem, who else besides you Li Shimai? What a song "Men's Chronicles"! Come! One more drink! ”

Li Hao felt bitter when he heard this, he was about to eat some food to fill his stomach, the dishes were delivered to his mouth, and he had to put down the chopsticks, although this is not a strong wine, but let us eat some food, drinking on an empty stomach is very deadly.

Li Hao accompanied Li Shimin to drink another glass, and when he put down the wine glass, he thought that he could finally eat, and just picked up the chopsticks, but saw Li Shimin suddenly get up, holding the wine glass and chanting loudly: "The horn of the dragon is stormy, and the bloody children are in the lonely city." Ten swings and ten decisive Qiang horses, spears will always guard the soul of the Tang Dynasty! ”

Li Hao obediently put down his chopsticks, looked at Li Shimin resentfully, and secretly wondered in his heart: "Alas, Lao Tzu is really cheap, really, why do you chant so many poems, you can't stop eating food." ”

Li Shimin closed his eyes slightly, immersed in poetry, as if he saw the bloody picture when Li Hao led the army to defend the lonely city.

Li Hao saw him close his eyes, and hurriedly took the opportunity to pick up the chopsticks and stuff food into his mouth, if you love to read poems, read them slowly, Lao Tzu will eat your stomach first.

Li Shimin suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Li Hao, Li Hao was so frightened that he quickly turned his head, facing the direction of the temple gate, and desperately swallowed the food, there was too much food in that mouthful, and lean meat, one by one, the diaphragm made his throat hurt, he could only keep beating his chest, and finally swallowed the food, but the tears came out.

"Poet, what's wrong with you?" Li Shimin saw that Li Hao turned his head and didn't look at himself, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Nothing." Li Hao turned his head, his mouth was shiny, and tears were still in the corners of his eyes.

Li Shimin was slightly stunned when he saw this, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Sure enough, it's Li Shimad, this poem was written by him himself, presumably when he heard his poem, he also remembered the hard battle of defending Tingzhou, and couldn't help crying." ”

"Poetry madness should not be sad." Li Shimin comforted, "All the soldiers and civilians who died in the war in Tingzhou will be rewarded generously and their families will be cared for." ”

"Huh?" Li Hao blinked his eyes when he heard this, he was a little confused, he just secretly ate a bite of food, why should he be sad?

Li Shimin asked: "Poetry maniac, does this poem have a name?" ”

Li Hao said: "Back to Your Majesty, this poem is entitled "Tang Soul". ”

"Tang Soul?" Li Shimin's face turned pale when he heard this, and he shrugged his eyebrows and praised, "Okay! A good poem "Tang Soul", this poem should be praised for all generations, and I will send people to spread this poem throughout the Tang Dynasty military camp to strengthen my Tang Dynasty boy's spirit! ”

"Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise." Li Hao nodded again and again, his tone was very perfunctory.

"Come, for this song "Tang Soul", float again!" Li Shimin took the initiative to persuade him to drink, this is Longen, Li Hao hurriedly got up to drink, habitually shook the wine glass, and a glass of wine was spilled by him nearly half.

Li Shimin twitched his brows, and sure enough, this kid's bastard nature has been committed again.

After drinking this glass of wine, Li Shimin sat down slowly, Li Hao looked outside the hall, and found that it was getting late, so he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, Weichen should go back." ”

"Not busy." Li Shimin spread his hands and said, "Drink two more glasses with me, and you will ...... tonight."

He originally wanted Li Hao to be here tonight, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he changed his words and said: "I will send someone to send you back, don't worry, your family I have already sent someone to send them back." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Hao was helpless, so he could only smack his mouth and sit down silently. He was very depressed, he was a good young man, there were four or five beautiful girls at home, he was supposed to enjoy Gulina and Elena's massage in his bathroom private room, but he wanted to drink with such an old man here, alas, how lonely it is to be alone.

The two pushed the glass and changed the lamp, and gradually got drunk, Li Hao's face was slightly red, he was already a little drunk, and his words and deeds became more and more arrogant, but fortunately, Li Shimin was also a little drunk, and he didn't put the emperor on the shelf.

Drinking happily, Li Shimin suddenly said: "Poetry madness, don't be lazy at home anymore, come to the court to help me do things, with your ability, sooner or later you will be the marquis and pay homage to the prime minister." ”

Li Hao waved his hand again and again: "Your Majesty, don't make trouble, such a brain-burning thing, Weichen can't do it." ”

"You, you......" Li Shimin pointed at him depressedly, "You're just lazy...... Too lazy! ”

"Your Majesty has the truth." Li Hao grinned and nodded, "Weichen is lazy." ”

Li Shimin took another sip of wine, put down his glass and asked, "Since you don't want to be an official, what are your plans next?" ”

Li Hao shook his head and said: "Weichen has an official position, scientific research temple and temple secretary, does Your Majesty think that in addition to Weichen, there is someone more suitable for this position than Weichen?" ”

"What I mean by being an official is to participate in political affairs." Li Shimin said, "Do you want to stay in the scientific research temple for the rest of your life?" ”

Li Hao said seriously: "Your Majesty should not underestimate the scientific research temple, the power of science can benefit the whole Tang Dynasty, not comparable to other official positions, Your Majesty asked Weichen what his plans are, Weichen wants to open a newspaper and buy a bank." ”

Li Hao seems to be drunk, but his heart is the same as Spiegel, the reason why he wants to run a newspaper is to grasp the trend of public opinion, and the reason why he wants to run a money bank is to master the economy of Datang, although he has no ambition, he needs some means to save his life.
