Li Hao was silent for a long time, but slowly shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, we can't move Tubo for the time being?" ”

Li Shimin frowned and asked, "Why?" Qinghai Wei has not been trained yet? ”

Li Hao said: "Your Majesty, Qinghai Wei should have almost practiced, but Your Majesty also knows that Qinghai Wei only has 40,000, which is not enough to destroy Tubo, and if you want to destroy Tubo, you need to add at least 40,000 more troops." ”

"You...... If you don't say it earlier, I'll have to wait another year! Li Shimin was a little annoyed when he heard this, he was really anxious.

In fact, Li Hao is not in a hurry at all, because he knows that this year is the twenty-fourth year of Zhenguan, and there is no twenty-four years of Zhenguan in history, because Li Shimin passed away in the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, but there is another big man in history who will pass away this year, that is, Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo, as long as Songtsan Gampo dies, Garqinling will compete for power with major nobles and important ministers in Tubo, Tubo is in chaos, and the best time for soldiers to attack Tubo.

Seeing Li Shimin's impatient appearance, Li Hao arched his hand and said: "It's the minister's fault, but Your Majesty also knows that if you transfer 80,000 troops to Qinghai Wei, I'm afraid that the ministers in the court will be dissatisfied, Your Majesty, the minister has an idea." ”

"Quickly."

Li Hao said: "Your Majesty, if we attack Tibet, the Western Turks are afraid that they will not stand idly by, after all, they also know the truth of the cold lips and teeth, why don't we destroy the Western Turks first, after defeating the Western Turks, we will directly let the army fill Qinghai Wei, where they will conduct plateau training, and when the time is ripe, they will directly attack Tibet." ”

Li Shimin pondered for a while, raised his head and said: "The idea is good, but the Western Turks have been quite stable recently, and they did not dare to attack our Tang border, and suddenly sent troops to destroy their country, and the division was unknown." ”

Li Hao smiled slightly when he heard this, and said confidently: "Your Majesty, the minister has a way to make our teacher famous, and there is also a way to make Ashina Helu make mistakes." ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Hao, and immediately became interested, and said, "Since you are sure, then the next time the court meets, I will let you lead the army to conquer the Western Turks." ”

"Uh......" Li Hao blinked quickly, suddenly covered his knees, pretended to have a painful expression, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has committed this old cold leg problem, I'm afraid I can't lead the troops to fight, so it's better to recommend another person to Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin twisted his eyebrows, knowing that Li Hao was talking nonsense with his eyes again, he raised his face and said: "Do you believe that I immediately ordered someone to throw you off the city tower and be with Lu Dongzan?" ”

Li Hao grinned when he heard this: "Your Majesty is willing to do it, the minister is a good minister who can expand the stiffness on the horse and govern the country when he gets off the horse." He said and blinked quickly to sell cuteness.

"Okay, you think you're still using this trick when you're still a teenager." Li Shimin was amused by his lowly appearance, and asked, "Why don't you want to lead troops to attack the Western Turks?" ”

"The minister is really an old cold leg."

"Come on, push Li Hao down the city tower!"

"Don't! The minister knows that he is wrong! Li Hao hurriedly shouted.

Li Shimin glared at him vigorously and said, "Say, I'll give you one last chance." ”

Li Hao smacked his lips helplessly and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister just thinks that there is a person who is more suitable than the minister." ”

"Better fit than you?" Li Shimin squinted his eyes and thought about it, then suddenly realized and asked, "You mean Fan Lihua?" ”

Li Hao hurriedly patted his ass and said: "Your Majesty is really sage, really your eyes are like a torch, you can guess what the minister thinks at once, the minister is in front of Your Majesty, all his thoughts are not hidden, the minister's admiration for His Majesty is like a surging river, endless, and like the flooding of the Yellow River, out of control, from then on, the minister is willing to be the second wisdom of the Tang Dynasty, and the first is Your Majesty......"

Li Shimin had already slowly raised his right hand, ready to smoke Li Hao, Li Hao stopped talking, and looked at Li Shimin with resentful eyes.

"You, you...... People in their thirties, how can they not be on the right track all day long. Li Shimin pointed at Li Hao and reprimanded, "Sycophants are also so marginal, and it is very fake when you hear it." ”

Li Hao hurriedly bowed his head: "Yes, next time the minister must shoot a little more seriously." ”

"I'm all mad." Li Shimin couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Let's get down to business, where did I talk about it just now, oh yes, when it comes to Fan Lihua, why do you think she is more suitable than you, because she is a Western Turk?" ”

"Your Majesty Fan Lihua is a Tang person, and she has Tang blood in her body." Li Hao corrected him.

Li Shimin was unhappy, and said with a tiger face: "Does it matter whether she is a Tang or a Han, let's talk about the point!" ”

"Yes." Li Hao said, "Your Majesty, Fan Lihua grew up in the Western Turks, knows everything about the Western Turks, and Fan Lihua is a generation of handsome talents, when she was in the Western Turks, because she was a daughter, she was not reused, Your Majesty, you have always used people only by virtue, why not give Fan Lihua a chance, let her show her strengths, and the minister will vouch for the head, Fan Lihua will definitely be able to fight a beautiful battle and return with triumph." ”

Li Shimin pondered for a long time, nodded, and said: "There is no need for a head guarantee, you don't need a head guarantee in the future, your head is so worthless?" ”

Hearing this, Li Hao hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." He understood what Li Shimin meant, and Li Shimin allowed him to play.

Li Shimin said slowly: "Just according to your previous set, the next time the court meeting, I propose the matter of the army, and you oppose it, how about it?" ”

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and smiled evilly: "The minister thinks so too." ”

Oh, don't feel too cool to partner with Li Shimin to deceive those ministers.

In fact, this is also a helpless thing, the civilian officials are originally opposed to military affairs, not to mention the unjust war of the unknown division, Li Shimin can imagine that as long as he proposes to use troops against the Western Turks, the ministers will definitely oppose it with all their might, and they will also say a lot of Confucian principles, which is a headache.

Since this is the case, let Li Hao oppose it, those people love to go against Li Hao so much, I don't know if it will work this time.

Li Hao and Li Shimin chatted very happily, the two of them stood on the Suzaku Tower together and watched the street lights, Li Hao held the battlements in his hand, turned his head and secretly glanced at Li Shimin's old face, and suddenly felt unbearable, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please forgive the ministers, can you borrow a little of your dragon blood?" ”

Li Shimin immediately frowned when he heard this: "You are really fat!" ”

Li Hao laughed and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty forgives the sin, the minister didn't ask." ”

Li Shimin said: "The words have been spoken, how can it be regarded as if they have not been spoken, let's say, what is the use of dragon blood?" ”

Li Hao said: "The minister's wife is always weak after giving birth, and she is depressed in her heart, and she can't be cured for a long time, so she invited a divine doctor, and the divine doctor prescribed a prescription, but it needs dragon blood to guide it to work, and the minister is also helpless, so she is so courageous, and your majesty forgives her sins." ”

"Your wife, Seung-beom's daughter? Princess Wencheng, who was canonized by me in the past? ”

"Exactly." Li Hao nodded.

Li Shimin frowned and was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "How much do you need?" ”

Li Hao hurriedly said: "Just count the drops." ”

Li Shimin turned his head to Xu Lian and said, "Xu Lian, take a knife." ”

Xu Lian directly prostrated on the ground when he heard this, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, no, your body is not good, how can you release the dragon's blood at will!" ”

"Get up!" Li Shimin shouted in a deep voice, "It's just a few drops of blood, it's so much fuss, did I shed less blood when I fought on the battlefield back then!" ”

Xu Liangang wanted to say that this time was different from the past, but he was afraid of touching Li Shimin's sensitive place, so he didn't dare to say it.

"Xu You, pull him up!"

Xu You hurriedly helped Xu Lian up, but Xu You still persuaded: "Your Majesty, please think twice, dragon blood should not be taken lightly." ”

"I have my own measure, I don't need you to preach! Get a knife! ”

Li Hao suddenly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, dragon blood can only be effective when it is fresh, I don't know if Your Majesty is free tomorrow, go to the minister's mansion." ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay, tomorrow I will go to your mansion, and this time I will give the dragon blood, it should be regarded as making up for the matter of Ganye Temple." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Hao shook his body for a long time, and secretly thought in his heart, "If you are willing to give me blood, you are giving yourself a chance, if you don't give me blood, I can't determine your blood type, so I won't dare to give you a blood transfusion, although I don't dare to guarantee your longevity, it should be able to let you last for a year or two." ”

The next morning, the entire Qiongnan palace was busy cleaning, preparing to welcome the holy car, and soon, Li Shimin's Luan car arrived at the gate of the palace, and Li Hao immediately ordered to open the middle door to welcome the holy car.

Li Hao personally went out to greet him and invited Li Shimin to the middle hall, and after Li Shimin took a seat, he asked: "Where is your wife now?" ”

Li Hao said: "She is weak and resting in the inner courtyard, so it is inconvenient to come out to greet the holy driver, and the emperor forgives her sins." ”

"Out of the way." Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Can I give dragon blood now?" ”

Li Hao nodded and said, "Back to Your Majesty, it's okay." ”

Li Shimin glanced at Xu Lian, and Xu Lian reluctantly brought up a tray, in which was a knife with a pure gold handle, and the handle was also inlaid with very valuable gems, which was worth a lot of money at a glance.

Li Hao hurriedly stepped forward with a glass test tube and said, "Your Majesty, please put the dragon's blood into this glass tube." ”

"Hmm." Li Shimin took the glass test tube, then picked up the knife, pulled the knife out of the sheath, and cut it on the tip of his left index finger, and suddenly blood gushed out, Li Shimin hurriedly put the knife in the tray and picked up the test tube to receive blood.

After receiving about two or three milliliters of blood, Li Hao hurriedly took the gauze and said, "Your Majesty, the blood is enough, please bandage the wound." "Let's just bandage Li Shimin personally.

Li Shimin handed him the test tube and said, "You hurry up and dispense the medicine first, otherwise the dragon's blood will not be fresh, and the wound will have Xu Lian to take care of me." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Hao was really moved, took the test tube respectfully with both hands, and ran quickly towards the inner courtyard.

He rushed into Li Ping's room in the inner courtyard, Li Ping sat on the bed bored, today's matter, Li Hao told her, as soon as Li Hao pushed the door in, she hurriedly asked: "Have you got the dragon's blood?" ”

"Got it." Li Hao said and showed her the test tube.

Li Ping was suddenly extremely moved, and said: "I didn't expect Your Majesty to value you so much, and even the dragon's blood is willing to give it to you, I think about it now, I still want to covet Your Majesty's throne, I really shouldn't be." ”

Li Hao said: "You don't have to feel guilty, Your Majesty is good to me, and I am good to him, if the blood type is the same, I give him much more blood than this." ”

Li Hao said as he came to the experimental table that had been prepared with a test tube in his hand, pulled out the knife on his waist, rolled up his sleeves and cut his arm, took some of his own blood, and began to do hemolysis experiments.
