Chapter 731: Farewell to the monarch and ministers
Di Renjie was skeptical about Li Hao's words, he knew Li Hao, Li Hao was a thief and a thief, and he never did anything he was not sure of, if he didn't have such a high degree of certainty, how could he dare to make such a bet with the eldest grandson Wuji.
This time Di Renjie really thought too much, to destroy Tubo, Li Hao is really only fifty percent sure, of course, if you cheat recklessly, it is not difficult to destroy Tubo, such as moving a hundred cannons, it is naturally easy to destroy Tubo, but that will cause very powerful sequelae, which will make Li Hao fall into a very unfavorable situation.
The artillery private army or something, it is Li Hao's killer weapon, and it is also his life talisman, it is impossible for him to use it until it is absolutely necessary, at least in the land of Datang, he will not use it publicly.
Under his leadership, Tubo has developed well in the past two years, and it is about to enter winter, and it is really difficult to destroy Tubo, the cold weather on the snowy plateau is not a joke, even in the future world, it is difficult to conquer the cold weather here, so Li Hao is destined to have some cheating methods that cannot be used, such as those powerful bed crossbows, which cannot be used there, the weather is too cold, and the crossbow arm will be broken as soon as it is pulled.
In the afternoon of the same day, the holy decree arrived at Li Hao's house, and the bronze fish talisman of the troops was sent together, and then, Li Hao took the holy decree to the military department to receive the official document for the transfer of troops, all the formalities were complete, and in the evening of the same day, he sent someone to inform all the generals that tomorrow, he would gather and set off outside the Jinguang Gate in Chang'an, and each person could only bring a maximum of three personal guards and two boxes of luggage.
For this strange request, everyone felt very surprised and a little confused.
The next morning, Li Hao drove off in an RV and came to the Suzaku Gate, asking to face the saint, and the expedition was imminent, so he naturally wanted to see Li Shimin and say goodbye to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin summoned Li Hao in the Ganlu Palace, and after the two monarchs and ministers saw the salute, they stared at each other, their eyes were complicated, and they seemed to have a lot to say, but they didn't speak, and they both remained silent.
After being silent for a long time, Li Shimin slowly spoke: "Poetry madness, you will definitely exterminate Tubo...... Right. ”
Li Hao slowly raised his head, sighed, and said leisurely: "Actually, Your Majesty knows in his heart how difficult it is to conquer Tibet at this time. ”
Li Shimin was silent again when he heard this, he knew that it was very unwise to attack Tubo when it was almost winter, but he felt that he couldn't stay up for long, so he could only send troops in such a hurry, fortunately, there was Li Hao, he believed in Li Hao's ability, even if he couldn't destroy Tubo, he would not suffer.
After Li Shimin was silent for a long time, he said again: "I have been for the country and the people all my life, and now I am at the end of my strong crossbow, I am really lacking, and I want to satisfy my selfishness in the last journey of life." The selfishness he said was naturally revenge, revenge for Gardongzan's attack on Chang'an.
Li Hao arched his hand and said: "If the minister doesn't understand Your Majesty, he won't support His Majesty, Your Majesty, this is not selfishness, this is a national shame." ”
"You still know me, or you know me, or you know me...... Li Shimin sighed, and then said slowly, "If you can't destroy Tubo, I don't blame you, but you must attack Luoqi City, and it will be a shame for a bloody army to besiege Chang'an!" ”
Li Hao shook his body and said solemnly: "The minister must live up to his mission!" ”
"I'm in Chang'an...... Waiting for your good news! When Li Shimin said this, he felt a little struggling, and slowly raised his hand to cover his chest, and his eyebrows gradually wrinkled.
Seeing this, Li Hao hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty!" Did you have another heart attack? Do you want to pass on the imperial doctor? ”
Li Shimin gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and said, "I'm fine, you can step down!" ”
Li Hao knew that he was holding on, although he was worried, he was helpless, and arched his hand: "Then, minister...... Retire! He said that he reluctantly withdrew from the temple of manna.
Stepping out of the threshold of the Manna Palace, Li Hao stood quietly for a moment, he had a very bad premonition, perhaps...... Out of this door, he will never have the opportunity to see Li Shimin sitting on the throne in the future, as soon as he thinks of this, Li Hao's heart suddenly felt inexplicably confused, sad, and even wanted to cry, he couldn't help but turn around, looked into the hall, and saw Li Shimin sitting on the throne, looking at him from afar.
The two of them looked at each other, all speechless, although they were far apart, but he saw expectation, helplessness, and trust from Li Shimin's face, in just a few breaths, countless pictures flashed in Li Hao's mind, like a movie: he went to the Taiji Hall for the first time to receive a reward, asked for the official position to be cashed, and then farted in public; When he was in Lantian, Li Shimin paid a private visit to their house and wanted to borrow it, Li Hao rubbed his fingers and asked him for money, saying that this was sincerity; Every time Li Shimin saw Li Hao's words, he gasped, that wonderful expression; Every time Li Hao played cheap, Li Shimin's right hand was about to move, wanting to whip him......
The monarch and the minister have worked together for twelve years, although Li Shimin always bullied him as the emperor, but Li Hao never resented him, on the contrary, he suddenly found that he was very reluctant to him.
At that time, he was a fledgling teenager, Li Shimin beat him many times, and when he frequently made meritorious contributions, Li Shimin pushed him extraordinarily, and listened to a lot of his words to seek the country, and when Li Hao returned from Qiongnan and saved Chang'an, Li Shimin trusted him even more and relied on him as his right-hand man......
Li Hao now found out that the original Tian Khan, who dominated the world, was just an ordinary person, who would be old, would die, and would be helpless, saying that it was ordinary, and it was not ordinary, he had feelings for him, he really had feelings, as if Bole was discovering his talents, as if he was a strict teacher, like an uncle, gossiping about homely things, as if like-minded friends, talking loudly, and pointing out the country.
Although Li Hao's feelings for Li Shimin are not too deep, they are not shallow and complicated.
Unconsciously, Li Hao's eyes turned red, and two crystal teardrops oozed out of his eyes, shining in the sun, like transparent beads.
Li Hao turned to face Li Shimin, straightened his hat, straightened his shirt, drew a big circle with his hands, folded them on his chest, left hand in front, right hand in back, slowly pushed out from his chest, bowed down and made a solemn salute, the wide sleeves of his robe hung to the ground, and said: "Your Majesty!" Treasure! ”
When Li Shimin saw such a scene, his dim old eyes instantly moistened, and he stood up tremblingly, Xu Lian on the side wanted to help him, but he waved his arms away, and then, Li Shimin also folded his hands on each other, his left hand in front and his right hand in the back, slowly pushed out from his chest, probably because he was too old and couldn't straighten the fingers of his hands, but he still tried to straighten.
Li Shimin didn't bow down, because it was a very rude for him to give his hand like this, but he still did it, and after his hands were pushed out, Li Shimin also said: "Poetry madness!" Treasure! ”
As soon as he spoke, Li Shimin's tears suddenly rushed down like water bursting the embankment, dripping down his pale beard to the ground.
Li Hao straightened up and saw Li Shimin like this, he was immediately touched by the tear ducts, his nose was sour, he hurriedly raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears, turned around and left, he didn't dare to take another look, he wanted to keep Li Shimin's invincible heroism in his heart, not so old and tearful, let the invincible Tian Khan leave a perfect memory in his mind.
