Li Hao turned to look at Fan Lihua, looked at her for a moment, and said, "I can roughly understand what you mean, and I can understand your mood, but it's just ...... What should Li Fan do, you suddenly took a child back to Chang'an, and his surname is Li, there must be people who are curious about the identity of this child, you disappeared with me, I am afraid that Your Majesty will also summon you and ask you about the details after you were killed, how do you explain the child's affairs to him. ”

Fan Lihua looked at the son in her arms, and suddenly frowned, indeed, she is not married in her thirties, she is a well-known old virgin in the court, she was shipwrecked and disappeared for more than a year, and suddenly bringing a child back, it will definitely cause an uproar, and the resurrection of the dead is very bizarre in itself, and also bring a baby back, will the people in the court not be curious, I am afraid that even Li Zhi will ask her, where did the child come from, if it is said that it was picked up, how to explain the child's name, Fan Lihua's surname is Fan, and it is not logical to pick up a child but his surname is Li, which is even more suspicious.

Fan Lihua hesitated for a long time, and suddenly said: "Then let the husband take Li Fan, you are the child's father, put it here with you, I am also very relieved." ”

Li Hao sighed lightly when he heard this, and asked slowly, "You...... Are you willing? The child asked me to take it, naturally there is no problem, after all, I am the child's father, but you are afraid that you will not see him for a long time in the future. ”

Fan Lihua touched Li Fan's little face lovingly, and said helplessly: "What can I do if I am reluctant, husband, you refuse to go back." ”

Li Hao's heart ached when he heard this, he stepped forward and took one of her hands, and said apologetically: "Pear Blossom, I'm sorry, I made you wronged, but this time the change from light to dark is related to my important plan, I want to deal with a very powerful person, it is related to the safety of Datang, I can only do this." ”

Fan Lihua smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as you raise Li Fan well, I will rest assured, leave the military affairs of the Tang Dynasty to me." ”

"Hmm." Li Hao nodded vigorously, gave a thumbs up, and said, "My wife Fan Lihua is the first female hero in the world, a heroine!" The country before the family, the public before the private, with you guarding the Tang Dynasty, I am very relieved! ”

Fan Lihua couldn't help laughing when she was slapped by him, and after laughing, she asked, "When will I leave for Chang'an?" ”

"There's no hurry." Li Hao waved his hand and said, "Everyone finally got together, this time let's have a lively New Year together, and then go back after the Lantern Festival, in fact...... I'm reluctant to let you go. ”

At this time, Chen Song said: "Poetry madness, if you let General Fan go back, you have to think about the rhetoric first, you just said it, the emperor is very likely to ask about the details of her disappearance, don't make up a lie and show your feet." ”

Fan Lihua also nodded and said, "Yes, husband, you can make one up for me, I can't lie." ”

"Don't worry, it's on me." Li Hao gave her a reassuring look and said, "It's still early, before you leave, I will definitely help you make up a perfect lie, but the thought of deceiving Li Zhi makes me really unbearable." ”

Li Hao actually called Li Zhi's name, and everyone didn't say anything, after all, no outsiders were present.

Li Hao looked at the sky outside, it was noon, and said with a smile: "This year can be said to be the most reunited year, tonight is the big Chinese New Year's Eve, we must be lively, so let's have a bonfire party in the middle courtyard tonight, at the party, eat and drink to your heart's content, but don't patronize eating and drinking, everyone has to perform talents, each think about what to perform, hehe, I've already thought about it, I'm going to play the guitar and sing tonight......"

"Alas, it's better not to have a party......" People who were familiar with Li Hao all shouted in unison, because they didn't agree with Li Hao's music style.

"Hey, hey, what's your reaction, I used to be one of the top ten singers on campus, and there are countless girls with a guitar, and you don't know how to appreciate it......"

The bonfire party was still held as usual, first Turandot came to the stage to perform the sword dance, and then Qin Su came to the stage to perform a song and dance performance, and then Situ Feng and Zhu Ruihuan came to the stage to perform the double reed, the two performed very funny, causing everyone to laugh frequently, Lu Yun and Chen Song performed acrobatic trapeze, let the dignified martial arts master perform acrobatics, and no one else, but Lu Yun didn't mind at all, because Li Hao didn't die, he was happy, since he stepped into the realm of the grandmaster, he now sees things very thoroughly and is very open-minded, If you are alive, you should be happy.

Li Hao is the pillar of today's platform, first performed a series of small magic tricks, and then the guitar playing and singing that everyone doesn't want to hear, if you don't want to listen to it, you have to listen to it, who made him the protagonist, it is still the song "Ten Years" that he has played and sung countless times.

The party finally ended, it was already very late, and the next thing was to keep the New Year, Li Hao wrapped a big red envelope for everyone, and then set up several tables in the main hall and started to play poker.

Although the New Year's Eve was kept all night, but on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone did not feel tired, happy, greeting each other for the New Year, saying congratulations, eating rice cakes, it felt very New Year's flavor, and it was happy, Li Hao looked at everyone's happy appearance, and secretly thought in his heart: "After defeating Yuan Tiangang and pacifying the world, I will live this kind of dull and carefree life every day." ”

After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Wu Lei took dozens of ships to the sea to purchase materials in Datang, this time Li Hao is preparing to travel around the world, while traveling, he naturally can't forget about trade, travel to make money, who let him have the world's largest and most bullish fleet, and Wu Lei also has a task, is to recruit a group of Confucian scholars to come over, follow the fleet to see the world.

After the Lantern Festival, Fan Lihua had to go back to Chang'an, Li Hao disguised himself slightly, came to the harbor, and personally sent her on the ship, when Fan Lihua handed Li Fan over to Li Hao, she was reluctant to look like she was about to break her heart, and Li Hao was also very reluctant, but he knew that sometimes, the short-term separation was just for a longer reunion, Datang needed her, heroes are not so easy to be, and women heroes are too.

Li Hao had already made up a lie to Fan Lihua to deal with Li Zhi, saying that Fan Lihua was stranded on a desert island after the shipwreck, and finally met Li Hao's merchant ship before he was able to come back, as for Li Hao, she didn't see it, and she didn't know what happened to Li Hao. It's that simple, it doesn't need to be too complicated, the more complex it is, the more likely it is that there will be loopholes, and then other lies will need to be patched.

Chang'an City, Taiji Palace, Li Zhi was very depressed, he didn't know until now, Li Hao's family suddenly disappeared without a sound, and when he asked, he learned that they all went to Qiongnan, and they had been gone for several days, go to Qiongnan, go to Qiongnan, and take Li Hong away, Li Hong is Li Zhi's son, the prince came, can Li Zhi give up, even if he has to send someone to Qiongnan to take Li Hong back.

But Wu Meiniang made a fuss with him after learning about it, and he was not allowed to take Li Hong back, Li Zhi had no way to do anything about Wu Meiniang's unreasonable trouble, because Wu Meiniang was pregnant again, and it was more than nine months, and she was about to give birth, so he could be as knowledgeable as a pregnant wife?

Li Hao calmed down and thought about it carefully, Wu Meiniang was so opposed to taking Li Hong back, it can be seen that she is hostile to Li Hong, if she forcibly takes Li Hong back, she is afraid of the consequences...... He didn't dare to think about it, and it was precisely because he figured this out that Li Zhi gave up his plan to take Li Hong back, anyway, with Li Mingda here, presumably Li Hong would not suffer any grievances, but he still felt very sorry for Li Hong in his heart.

Fan Lihua's return to Chang'an caused an uproar, and the ministers were shocked, Fan Lihua didn't die? What about Li Hao?

Li Zhi learned that Fan Lihua had returned, he was really overjoyed, and hurriedly summoned Fan Lihua to meet, after seeing Li Zhi, Fan Lihua naturally acted according to the script, and told Li Zhi that he was drifting to a desert island alone, and did not see Li Hao, it is estimated that Li Hao has been buried in the sea, Li Zhi was sad and depressed after hearing it, and originally thought that Fan Lihua could come back alive, and Li Hao could also be so lucky, fortunately, Li Zhi was sad once before, and now when he heard the news, he was mentally prepared, and naturally he would not be as heartbroken as before.

The news of Fan Lihua's return caused a sensation for a few days, and it soon calmed down, and the eldest grandson Wuji played Li Zhi and asked Fan Lihua to continue to go to Qinghai to serve as the protector of Qinghai and guard the frontier, Li Zhi agreed, so Fan Lihua went to the Qinghai Metropolitan Protectorate again.

Wu Meiniang finally gave birth, and successfully gave birth to a son, Li Zhi named it Li Xian, the child was born less than ten days, Wu Meiniang begged Li Zhi to make Li Xian the prince, Li Zhi did not agree, nor objected, but just said that the child was still young, and he would talk about it in a few years.

Wu Meiniang is very unhappy, although she is now the queen, she is not satisfied, because she has no power, she has many people to retaliate against, such as Li Hao is one of them, so she must put her son in the position of the prince, she needs power, and she also needs the ministers of the court to take refuge in her.

Now his nephews Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi have entered the court as officials, Wu Sansi has become a soldier in the military department, and Wu Chengsi has served as a household servant, although the official position is not big, but it is not small, this is already Li Zhi has given her enough face, and there is also the help of the eldest grandson Wuji, after all, the father of the queen Wang was just a Luo Shanling, and there is no comparison at all.

Wu Meiniang also often praised the eldest grandson Wuji in front of Li Zhi, saying that the eldest grandson Wuji is an important minister of the country, how many years have Li Zhi and the eldest grandson Wuji known each other, do you still need her to say these words? Li Zhi's left ear is near, and his right ear is out, and he is a little annoyed with Wu Meiniang now, it's not that he doesn't love her anymore, but Wu Meiniang has changed, they all say that people will change, but she has changed too much, and sometimes she dares to point fingers at the government, Li Zhi has not changed as much as she has changed after becoming the emperor, so Li Zhi's attitude towards her is naturally not as good as before, and Wu Meiniang also feels this.

But Wu Meiniang is a smart person, she knows that Li Zhi has a cowardly personality, as long as she doesn't make a big mistake, Li Zhi will never do anything to her, every time she goes to coax Li Zhi, Li Zhi still obediently climbs into her bed, she has mastered Li Zhi's bottom line, knows herself and her opponent, and is invincible, so she is now invincible.

On February 18, Li Hao's fleet set off from Liuqiu and sailed to Qiongnan, where several ships with hundreds of Confucian scholars were waiting there, and Li Hao wanted to take these Confucian scholars to see the world, open their eyes, and prove to them that this world is a ball!

On 26 February, Li Hao's fleet of 300 ships officially set sail from Qiongnan and sailed into the vast sea.
