It was almost noon before Donald came back, Li Hao asked him what the result was, Donald showed a rare smile, and said: "His Majesty has punished Zhao'en, deprived him of all his powers, and he will not be used again in this life, and he will be placed under house arrest." ”

Li Hao nodded, and sighed slowly: "The punishment is about the same as what I guessed, after all, he is the uncle of the country, and the queen will definitely intercede for him, if you want to punish him severely, I am afraid that it is impossible." ”

Donald said: "That's enough, Zhao'en this person is not right, he is so happy, he has no talent for governing the country, but he wants power, and he has been fighting with the old man for many years, and now he has lost all power, so it's over, oh, by the way, my majesty, His Majesty wants to see you, I don't know you...... When to be free. ”

Li Hao frowned when he heard this, and said slowly: "This king doesn't want to see him." ”

Donald was stunned when he heard this, he didn't know what to say, no one dared to say this in Linyi, but Li Hao dared, if according to the identity, Li Hao and King Linyi are equal, after all, Linyi is a vassal country of the Tang Dynasty, everyone is the king of the divided side, on an equal footing, Li Hao said that he didn't want to see it, that is if he didn't want to see it, what could the king of Linyi do.

Donald was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly: "In that case, the old man will go to inform His Majesty the King tomorrow that you have something to do and it is inconvenient to see him." ”

Li Hao nodded and smiled apologetically, and said, "Well, thank you Lord Tang." ”

Linyi City is not big, Li Hao and they walked around the city for three days, and they felt that there was nothing new, and Wu Lei also received a report from his subordinates that the trade had almost gone on and that they could leave at any time.

Li Hao didn't want to stay in Linyi too much, so he resigned to Donald, Donald was very reluctant, after all, Li Hao had a great kindness to him, not only saved his life, but also saved his only son, he was so old, he finally had a son, if he missed this opportunity, he was afraid that he would not have a son in the future, so in his heart, Li Hao was simply his reborn parents, and like the dragon who saw the head and the end of the world, because Li Hao's mysterious ability was too shocking to him.

Donald personally led people to send Li Hao to the harbor, watched Li Hao's fleet leave, Li Hao's fleet left the harbor of Linyi, and sailed to the vast sea again, on the main ship, Li Hao led a group of people to stare at the chart, Wu Lei pointed to the south of Zhenla on the chart, and said: "Lord, the next sailing route is to go to the south of Zhenla first, then to the south, through the Strait of Malacca, and then go straight to the west, to the lion country (Sri Lanka)." ”

Li Hao frowned, pointed to the chart, and asked, "Don't other countries in the Bay of Bengal go?" There are a lot of countries out there. "Li Hao is participating in the voyage to the west for the first time, so he wants to visit all these countries.

Wu Lei explained: "Lord Wang, you plan to complete the round-the-world voyage within three years, and there are indeed many countries in the Bay of Bengal, but if you go there, you will go in a big circle, and if each country stops, it is estimated that it will take three to four months more." ”

"So long?" Li Hao frowned when he heard this.

At this time, Li Tu, who had been studying the charts, suddenly asked: "Uncle Wu Lei, may I ask how you decided on the names of the locations of these sea areas on this chart, the Bay of Bengal, the Strait of Malacca, the Arabian Sea...... All of this sounds interesting. ”

"This ......" Wu Lei smiled and said, "In fact, these names are set by the prince, when I sailed for the first time, the prince gave me a brief chart, which has already marked the names of the locations of these sea areas, I based on the chart, according to what I saw and heard in my own navigation, and finally became the current chart." ”

"Oh......" Li Tu nodded slowly when he heard this, then turned his head to Li Hao and asked, "Dad, the shape of this Strait of Malacca is so weird, how do you know, Dad, have you been there before?" What are you based on these names? ”

"Oops, I have a headache." Li Hao deliberately avoided Li Tu's questioning, directly covered his head, and said, "Wu Lei, you can decide the route, I'll go and rest for a while." After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Li Tu watched Li Hao leave in amazement, he knew that Li Hao was avoiding his question, but when he thought about it carefully, there seemed to be nothing wrong with the question he asked, was it difficult to answer?

When Li Hao's fleet was sailing to Zhenla on the sea, a major event happened in Chang'an, and Li Zhili was reserved.

After Wu Meiniang's disdainful efforts, Li Zhi finally established Li Xian as the crown prince.

To say that it took a lot of effort for Wu Meiniang to set up this prince, since Li Xian was born, she went to beg Li Zhi twice in three days to let him make Li Xian the prince, Li Zhi was overwhelmed, although it was natural to set up his son-in-law as the prince, but for some reason, Li Zhi just didn't want to establish a prince so soon, and Li Zhi now has a little disgust with Wu Meiniang, because Wu Meiniang always forced him to do things he didn't like to do, since he was a child, no one has ever forced him, not even his father.

But after becoming the emperor, he was always persecuted by the ministers of the court, which is just that, because he wants to emulate his father and be a generation of Ming monarchs, so he can't do anything to these ministers, but Wu Meiniang is his own queen, and he actually came to force him two times in three days, saying that he was begging, but in fact, it was forced for him, and this feeling of being persecuted by the closest people was really bad.

Li Zhi naturally did not agree to Wu Meiniang's request, Wu Meiniang knew that she could not say that she could move Li Zhi, so she began to use her relationship in the court, she did not have her own power in the court, but it didn't matter, she had the eldest grandson Wuji.

It stands to reason that the eldest grandson Wuji is now in power, and no one can compete with him, so he can completely ignore Wu Meiniang, but there is a good saying, one wrong step, one wrong step, he was in collusion with Wu Meiniang at the beginning, embarrassed, he was already a person in the same boat, and now he wants to get out, it is difficult.

He can not help Wu Meiniang, but he doesn't dare to guarantee that Wu Meiniang won't say bad things about him in Li Zhi's ear, after all, the eldest grandson has a ghost in his heart, so he is naturally afraid.

In private, the eldest grandson Wuji is afraid that Wu Meiniang will blow the pillow wind and say something unfavorable to him, for Yu Gong, Wu Meiniang is the queen, and the son born is the son-in-law, and the son-in-law is justified as the prince, not to mention, the early establishment of the prince will help the stability of the country, and there is no big problem.

So the eldest grandson Wuji agreed to Wu Meiniang's request, and teamed up with the ministers to invite Li Zhi to become the prince.

Although the eldest grandson Wuji helped Wu Meiniang, he would not help so obviously, he just asked Li Zhi to establish the prince, as for who to make the prince, he didn't say, in fact, do you still need to say it, according to the rules, it is to make the son-in-law the prince, can you still set up other princes.

The matter of establishing the prince has been troublesome for about seven days, Li Zhi finally can't withstand the pressure of the ministers, he is also annoyed, and summons Li Xian as the prince, this time, Wu Meiniang is not making trouble, the ministers are also quiet, and Li Zhi can finally be quiet.

But since Li Zhi became a prince, within two months, he became ill, weak, listless all day long, sometimes coughing, abdominal pain, headache, muscle pain all over his body, the best doctors in the hospital came to diagnose and treat him, but there was no unified result, there are different opinions, that is, the doctors do not know what disease Li cured.

Li Zhi is in a very bad mood, since he practiced the set of boxing techniques taught by Li Hao, he has never been sick, he didn't expect to be sick this time, and the illness is not light, even the imperial doctor can't find out, he can only practice Peiyuan boxing more diligently every day, I didn't expect it to be really effective, the symptoms of cough, abdominal pain and muscle pain rarely appeared, and his spirit was better.

Every time he practiced Peiyuan boxing, Li Zhi thought of Li Hao, and his mood would become extremely heavy, he was most grateful to three people in his life, the first two were naturally his mother and father who gave birth to him and raised him, and the third was Li Hao, he was originally just an ignorant boy, he was a cowardly King of Jin in the eyes of others, it was Li Hao who taught him a lot of truths, it was Li Hao who helped him to the position of the prince, and it was Li Hao who made him the supreme in the world, from beginning to end, as long as he had something to ask Li Hao for help, Li Hao would always come up with a good way to help him, without a shirk, No matter how difficult the problem is, it can be easily solved, sometimes he thinks that there is probably nothing in this world that can stump Li Hao, Li Hao is simply the almighty little assistant of their father and son emperors, and there is trouble to find Li Hao.

But Li Hao is gone now, he feels empty in his heart, as if his soul has nowhere to put it, and it seems that he has lost the support of his soul, he knows that maybe he is too dependent on Li Hao, and lacks the courage and determination to face the world alone.

After some contemplation, Li Zhi suddenly had an epiphany, and from then on, Li Zhi gave up all entertainment activities, put all his energy on government affairs, and reviewed and played late at night every day.

Wu Meiniang naturally discovered Li Zhi's abnormal behavior, this night, Li Zhi reviewed the music overnight, Wu Meiniang took two palace ladies to visit him in the Ganlu Palace, Wu Meiniang suddenly arrived, which made Li Zhi a little surprised, but Li Zhi did not react much, after looking up at her, he continued to review the music, and asked: "Why doesn't the queen sleep late at night, and has something to do when she comes to the Ganlu Palace?" ”

Wu Meiniang walked to the dragon case and said softly: "Isn't the emperor also resting, how can the concubines sleep?" ”

Li Zhi glanced up at her, smacked his lips and said helplessly: "I have been unwell recently, so the queen doesn't have to wait for me at night." ”

"The emperor should take care of the dragon's body." Wu Meiniang said softly, "Your Majesty, state affairs are important, but the emperor's dragon body is even more important, only when the body is rested, can you deal with state affairs, the emperor has been unwell recently, and he should rest early, but don't stay up late, these sparse will be left for tomorrow's review." ”

Li Zhi stopped his pen, looked up at her, and said lightly: "Empress, what do you think of the first emperor?" ”

Wu Meiniang was stunned when she heard this, and then bowed her head and said: "The first emperor is naturally a peerless emperor, an emperor through the ages, and the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty are unreachable. ”

"My father is a Ming monarch, but if you say that the Qin Emperor and Han Wu can't ...... That's too much. Li Zhi knew that she was exaggerating, so he made a pertinent evaluation and continued, "My father is a generation of emperors, and as the son of my father, I naturally can't be too bad for my father, I know that my qualifications are limited, and it is difficult to reach my father's wisdom, so I have to work harder and more diligently than my father. ”

Wu Meiniang's brows trembled when she heard this, although the expression on her face did not change, but she was snorting angrily in her heart: "It's Li Hao again, everyone is dead, he still thinks about Li Hao, is Li Hao really so important, hmph, when I take power, it will be the day when the Li Group will fall, Li Hao!" Do you think that when you die, you will be gone, and I will wipe out everything you have in life! ”

She could only whisper such vicious words in her heart, and then said: "The emperor said very much, Mrs. Li's teachings will definitely not be wrong, the emperor, the concubine is afraid that you will be hungry at night, so she stewed some bird's nest porridge for you, and now it is just warm and not hot, so drink it quickly." She beckoned, and the maid in the back brought a cup of bird's nest porridge on a tray, and Wu Meiniang took it and put it on the dragon case.

Li Zhi said: "Just let it go, I will naturally eat it when I am hungry." ”

"No way!" Wu Meiniang suddenly bypassed the dragon case, stepped forward to grab Li Zhi's arm, and shook it coquettishly, "Your Majesty, you are so diligent, you will definitely forget it later, the concubine must watch you drink it to feel at ease." ”

Li Zhi couldn't bear her the most, so he could only smile and compromise: "Okay, I drink, I will drink now, you see, I drink!" ”

Li Zhi also seemed to coax her, and he didn't put the porridge out, so he just held the cup and drank it directly.

Seeing Li Zhi raise his head and drink porridge, Wu Meiniang's eyes burst into light, and a gloomy and smug smile appeared on her face.
