Everyone was shocked when they heard this reward, including Li Hao himself, Li Hao originally thought that Li Shimin would be the same as the last time he was exiled to Tingzhou, and he would be named an official with a history of assassination, but he didn't expect that this time he would directly be named the king of Qiongnan County, in fact, there was a problem with the title of King of Qiongnan County.

According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, the county king is based on the state and county, and Qiongnan is an island, which is far larger than the state and county, which is countless times larger, that is to say, his county king is not a county king in the real sense, because there are three states and counties in his fief.

When the ministers were still exchanging glances, not knowing whether to object, Wei Zheng had already strode out of the ranks, bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Li Hao's expedition to the Western Regions this time, expanding the stiffness for thousands of miles, although he has made great achievements, but His Majesty is the king for him, it is too much, and he will be exiled to Qiongnan, which is really a punishment, and the ministers think that this is a reward, it is really inappropriate!" ”

When the ministers saw that Wei Zheng actually opposed this reward, they immediately made a decision, no objection, Wei Zheng supported Li Hao, since Wei Zheng was against it, it means that this reward is not good for Li Hao, since it is unfavorable to Li Hao, they support it.

Xue Rengui immediately followed and said: "Your Majesty, Li Hao is an immortal talent, you should stay in the court to seek the community for the monarch and set the frontier for the country, how can you exile the Qiongnan Bad Land, please think twice!" ”

Ma Zhou also came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal, and the minister also felt that this reward was inappropriate, Li Hao's merits have not yet reached the point of being crowned king." ”

Cheng Biting Jin also came out of the ranks, and said in a voice like a broken gong: "Your Majesty, the minister has been fighting all his life, and he is still only a prince of the country, how can Li Hao be able to be crowned the king, and he will not accept it!" ”

All those who have a good relationship with Li Hao are listed to oppose it, saying that they are against it, but in fact, they are interceding for Li Hao, and they only have two opinions, one is that Li Hao has not reached the level of being crowned king, and the second is that Li Hao has no merit and cannot be exiled to Qiongnan.

The ministers saw that Li Hao's henchmen all came out to intercede for Li Hao, they were so happy, oops, Li Hao was going to be exiled to a place like Qiongnan with poor mountains and bad waters, could they not be happy, it was best if Li Hao could die there, they would be even happier, crowned king? Hehe, forget it, is that a king, this is called a slap to reward a date, why reward the date, just don't let you cry, if the reason is not sufficient, these courtiers are estimated to have come out to support Li Shimin.

Li Shimin naturally will not say what Li Hao has done, after all, it involves the face of the heavenly family, so he can only exile Li Hao in the way of being a king, in this way, not only to repay Li Hao's reward, but also to achieve the purpose of exile Li Hao, killing two birds with one stone, Li Shimin actually doesn't want to give Li Hao the title of king, but he doesn't want to owe Li Hao, everyone settles the accounts, and then dies and never gets along.

Li Shimin glanced at this group of opponents, and suddenly said leisurely: "Auxiliary, I want to crown Li Hao as the king of Qiongnan County to show his merits, what do you think?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji naturally knew Li Shimin's intentions, after all, he provoked this matter, he didn't show up, he just bowed his hand and shouted: "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

Seeing this, the ministers in the rear immediately found the direction of the wind, and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

Wei Zheng, Ma Zhou, and Xue Rengui, Cheng Biting Jin, they were suddenly stunned, and this group of people was simply falling into the ground.

Cheng Yanjin turned his head to look at Li Hao in anger, only to see Li Hao gently close his eyes, shake his head at him gently, and signal him to stop fighting.

Although Cheng Yanjin was puzzled, he is now obedient to Li Hao, why, because Li Hao really overthrew Li Chengqian, and also helped Li Zhi to the position of the prince, all this is exactly the same as he expected at the beginning, he doesn't support the wall now, so he obeys Li Hao.

Cheng Yanjin gave Qin Qiong and Li Ji a look, and the three of them retreated to the queue one after another, Su Dingfang, Zhi Zhi Sili and Niu Jinda saw that something was wrong, and they also retreated to the queue, Ma Zhou and Xue Rengui were still insisting.

Li Shimin waved his hand impatiently and said: "Okay, the matter of Li Hao being crowned king is so decided, you don't need to persuade again." With the support of the ministers, he spoke with confidence, not afraid of public anger, and continued to discuss the matter.

After the end of the early dynasty, Li Hao did not go home immediately, but invited Cheng Biting Jin, Li Ji and Qin Qiong to Taibai Mansion for dinner, after all, he was leaving, let's have a casual meal together.

The meal is fake, the conversation is true, Li Hao doesn't know how long he will leave the court, and the next direction of the court, he analyzed it with the three princes, and told them some things, and everyone keeps in touch.

After explaining to the three princes, Li Hao went home, because he still had a lot of things to prepare, first of all, he ordered the withdrawal of the perfume agency distribution right of the eldest grandson's family, the workshop that produced perfume was originally the eldest grandson's family, Li Hao only provided technical personnel, but after Li Hao had money, he changed the business model, bought the workshop, his own production, and the eldest grandson family was responsible for the agent distribution, and now he wanted to completely break the cash cow of the eldest grandson's family, and then go to the eldest grandson's family to ask for accounts.

The eldest grandson's family relied on their transcendent status, and Li Hao's perfume workshop often paid credit when picking up the goods, so many years, the eldest grandson's family owed as much as 250,000 yuan, which is a very amazing number, Li Hao asked Shi Najie to go to the eldest grandson's house to ask for accounts, and at the same time bring a sentence to the past, if you can't get the money, you won't go to Qiongnan.

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he immediately ordered to raise money and repay debts!

Of course, the eldest grandson Wuji wanted Li Hao to go, he was afraid that Li Hao had not left Chang'an beyond the specified time limit, and when Li Shimin asked, Li Hao had a reason to go back, because the eldest grandson Wuji owed money and did not pay it back, so he could only pay back the money.

250,000 guan is not a small amount for the eldest grandson Wuji's family, although they have made a lot of money from perfume over the years, but it adds up to 200,000 guan, but their eldest grandson family has a big business, high income, and high expenses, and now the remaining money in the treasury is only 180,000 guan, and they must raise money everywhere to make up the 250,000 guan.

The economic blow is a small lesson from Li Hao to the eldest grandson Wuji, and he didn't expect this to make the eldest grandson Wuji hurt his muscles and bones, but he can't help the eldest grandson Wuji make money anymore, after all, he is not a fool, and the agency distribution of perfume was transferred to his father-in-law Li Daozong.

In order to deliberately keep a distance from Li Daozong, since Li Ping got married, he and Li Daozong have hardly met, which is too deliberate, so it is good to give him a perfume distribution right and let him make a fortune with him.

There is also a business, that is, tea, since Li Hao's invention of roasted tea in the Tang Dynasty, the tea business has been very hot, and has embarked on the Silk Road, towards international trade, there are many tea dealers, Qin Qiong, Li Ji, Cheng Yanjin They have the right to distribute, but there is also a distribution right, that is, the tea distribution right of the Wu family, he must take it back, these years have made the Wu family stuffy and rich, can no longer let them send it, this recovered tea distribution rights, let Shi Najie operate his own business, You can't rely on others to sell any product, besides, Li Hao believes that with his current strength, he can definitely win the top three in Datang, what's wrong with selling some tea.

At noon the next day, Li Hao suddenly received a message from Cheng Yanjin, Xue Rengui begged to see Li Shimin in front of Taiji Palace and pleaded for Li Hao.

Li Hao heard that it was not good, and hurriedly prepared his horse and hurried towards Chang'an.

Xue Rengui has been standing outside the Taiji Palace for two hours, and he hasn't moved a single step, Li Shimin refuses to see him, and has sent Xu Lian twice to send him away, Li Shimin is a person who loves talents, he also sees that Xue Rengui is a general, after Li Hao left, he wanted to reuse Xue Rengui, even if he couldn't completely add a young tiger general, so although Xue Rengui's behavior made him quite annoyed, he didn't have a seizure, just let Xu Lian persuade him to leave.

But Xu Lian's persuasion was useless, Xue Rengui only had one sentence: "Weichen asks the emperor to take back his order and not exile Li Hao!" ”

When Xu Lian went back to report to Li Shimin for the second time, Li Shimin was furious and shouted: "Bastard! This Xue Rengui is a bastard like Li Hao, and it is really the people brought out by Li Hao, all of whom are bold! It's forcing me! ”

Xu Lian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is angry, Li Hao has a great kindness to Xue Rengui, and Xue Rengui's actions also prove that he is a trustworthy person." ”

Li Shimin's anger decreased slightly when he heard this, and he nodded and said: "What you said is not unreasonable, but I have opened my golden mouth, how can I take it back, you go and pass on my message, let him leave quickly, and don't intercede for Li Hao again, otherwise I will cut off all his officials and exile Qiongnan with Li Hao!" ”

"Yes." Xu Lian received the order with a bitter face, and then went to deliver a message to Xue Rengui again.

Outside the Chengtian Gate of Taiji Palace, Xue Rengui was still standing in the middle of the corridor, Xu Lian walked over quickly, and shouted: "Xue Rengui, the general of the left and right guards, receives the order!" ”

"Weichen Xue Rengui took the order."

Xu Lian said: "Pass on the emperor's edict and order Xue Rengui to leave quickly, and don't intercede for Li Hao again, otherwise I will cut off the official title and exile Qiongnan." ”

Xue Rengui was stunned when he heard this, and then arched his hand and said: "Father-in-law Xu, the eldest husband was born in heaven and earth, he has something to do and something not to do, Li Shimad has the grace of knowing Rengui, and he is born and recreated, how can Rengui forget his roots for his own glory and wealth, Rengui must ask to see His Majesty today, and ask Your Majesty to take back his life!" ”

Xu Lian frowned when he heard this, lowered his voice, and said: "General Xue, you have thought about it, you are now an earl, and the official worships the general of the left and right guards, such an official is not easy to come by, if it is cut off, I am afraid that there will be no more in this life." ”

"Thank you Father-in-law Xu for reminding me." Xue Rengui bowed his hand to Xu Lian, and resolutely shook his head and said, "Without Li Shimao, there would be no Xue Rengui today, Gonggong Xu, I, Xue Rengui, can not have an official title, but I can't lose my loyalty, if Your Majesty really wants to exile Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui is willing to follow Li Shimad to Qiongnan!" ”

"You...... Alas......" Xu Lian shook his head helplessly when he heard this, and said slowly, "That's it, that's all our family says, so I will go back to the emperor to return to the emperor." ”

After a while, Li Hao hurried to Chengtianmen, but heard the announcement from a distance: "The left and right Tunwei generals, Jingyang County Boxue Rengui, disrespect the decree, take away his title, title and official position, exile Yazhou to serve as the lieutenant of Yazhou, and go to work within ten days!" ”
