When Li Hao returned to Chang'an, it happened to be the first day of Dafu, fortunately he had been in the desert for a while, and now his immunity to hot weather has improved a lot, but he can't help but be covered in sweat, the silver armor has long been taken off by him to press the bottom of the box, if he still wears that kind of fully wrapped silver armor on this kind of day, it feels like he is dying.

Li Hao entered the Mingde Gate, and a team of people came to the Taiji Palace, announcing Li Shimin's oral message, and let Li Hao immediately enter the Ganlu Palace to meet him.

Li Hao came non-stop to rush to the Taiji Palace and entered the Ganlu Palace, there was only Li Shimin in the hall, and he didn't see any ministers, he should be waiting for Li Hao in a special place, so that Li Shimin could wait for the summons, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

After Li Hao entered the hall to salute, Li Shimin said happily: "Hmm...... Poetry (madness) up. I felt that Li Shimin seemed to have something in his mouth when he spoke, and sure enough, I heard a "rattling" sound from his mouth, and he was eating.

Li Hao got up, looked up at Li Shimin, and then his expression became very exciting, today's Li Shimin can be described in four words - untidy.

Generally, when the emperor sees his courtiers, not only the courtiers must be wrinkled, but the emperor must also dress neatly, otherwise it is not in line with etiquette, but this time Li Shimin did not wear a crown, and he also half-untied the dragon robe, revealing his black chest hair, which made Li Hao's eyes hurt because of his spicy eyes.

The two palace maids in the rear were fanning Li Shimin, but because the weather was too hot, Li Shimin was still sweating profusely, and there was a basin of ice cubes on the dragon case, and Li Shimin was chewing ice cubes in his mouth.

Seeing Li Hao look up, Li Shimin took a closer look and found that Li Hao didn't even have a little sweat on his forehead, and couldn't help asking: "Aren't you hot poetry?" ”

Li Hao sweated wildly and said, "Back to Your Majesty, my heart is naturally cold." ”

"I'm very determined." Li Shimin said depressedly, "But I still feel hot." ”

"Uh......" Li Hao rolled his eyes and said, "Your Majesty might as well read some Taoist scriptures and try it." ”

"You're talking nonsense." Li Shimin was very unorthodox today, maybe because he was too happy, or maybe because it was really hot, he took a piece of ice from the basin and threw it to Li Hao, and said, "Reward you." ”

Li Hao caught the ice cube and took a bite, "Quack quack", ouch, it's cold, my heart is flying, one word - cool!

"How! Cool, right? Li Shimin looked at Li Hao happily.

"Well, cool!" Li Hao nodded and continued to rattle, and Li Shimin also picked up a piece of ice and chewed it together.

The two of them chewed the ice cubes for a long time, Li Shimin finally refreshed, walked off the dragon chair, and came to Li Hao, Li Hao trembled, only to see that the lower half of Li Shimin's dragon robe was actually pulled up, and he was barefoot, revealing black hairy legs, Li Hao hurriedly looked up at the roof, this hairy leg was spicier than chest hair.

Li Shimin patted Li Hao on the shoulder: "Poetry madness, this time I went to Tuguhun, I worked hard for you." ”

Li Hao hurriedly shook his head: "Do things for Your Majesty, don't dare to say bitter." ”

"Hard work is hard work, what dare not." Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "This time Tubo intercepted the team halfway to grab relatives, it was really unexpected, fortunately, there is you Li Shimad, haha, this time it can make Songtsen Gampo's kid suffer enough losses, and even Lunzhu Rinzeng was captured by you." ”

"Hehe, just luck." Li Hao smiled modestly.

"Huh? What have you been doing with your head up, and there is a treasure on the top of this temple? Li Shimin also looked at the roof curiously.

"Nope." Li Hao hurriedly looked at Li Shimin and said, "Weichen's neck has been a little sore these days, so it's more comfortable to look up." ”

"Oh." Li Shimin nodded and continued the topic just now, "This defeat of Tubo is really an unexpected joy, Tubo also knows the power of our Tang Dynasty, Songtsen Gampo special envoy came to ask for guilt, and also sent twelve boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, I have already counted them, worth 500,000 yuan." ”

"So much?" Li Hao was shocked when he heard this, and he couldn't believe it, Tubo is located on the plateau, not suitable for farming, and is mainly based on animal husbandry, but not as rich as the Tang Dynasty, 500,000 guan is a huge amount of money for Tubo, Songtsen Gampo is willing to spend so much money in order to ask for guilt, which makes Li Hao very puzzled.

"It's not that easy to get this money." Li Shimin smiled and said, "His money is used to buy people." ”

Li Hao suddenly became stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Your Majesty, is he going to redeem Lunzhu Rinzeng?" ”

"Exactly." Li Shimin gave Li Hao an approving look and said, "Not only Lunzhu Rinzeng, but also all the Tibetan prisoners of war captured by us in the first two times, he all wants to redeem them." ”

Li Hao frowned when he heard this, and said in his heart, although he loves money, he thinks that prisoners of war cannot be released, and the most lacking thing in Tibet is people, more than 20,000 people Magalunzhu Rinzeng, which can already form a very powerful army, and can destroy small countries like Gaochang and Tuyuhun several times.

Seeing Li Hao frowning, Li Shimin seemed to have guessed Li Hao's thoughts, and said with a light smile: "I know what you want to say, but ...... Poetry madness, between countries, can not be too stiff, Tubo and my Tang Dynasty adjacent, although my Tang Dynasty is not afraid of Tubo, but there is a good saying, not afraid of thieves stealing, afraid of thieves remembering. ”

Li Hao nodded when he heard this: "Your Majesty is reasonable. ”

Li Shimin suddenly raised his eyebrows and said: "Although Songtsen Gampo has softened, it is not so easy for me to release Lunzhu Rinzeng and his more than 20,000 soldiers and horses so easily, I feel that 500,000 is not enough, poetry maniac, how much do you think it is more appropriate?" ”

Li Hao raised a finger without hesitation, and Li Shimin nodded when he saw this: "Okay, then add another 100,000 yuan." ”

"Your Majesty, it's a million."

"Hiss-" Li Shimin couldn't help but gasp, he had seen a lion with a big mouth, but he had never seen a lion with such a big mouth, this is eating people without spitting out bones.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Hao with a strange expression, and scolded with a smile: "Looking at the world, when it comes to greed for money, even I have to obey you Li Shimad." ”

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, what Weichen means is a total of one million guan." ”

"Oh." Li Shimin nodded suddenly when he heard this, a total of one million yuan, it is still a little acceptable, but it still feels too much, Songtsen Gampo can agree.

However, Li Shimin thought about it, regardless of whether he agreed or not, anyway, the initiative was on his side, and it should be Songtsan Gampo who should be troubled, what kind of heart did he, so he nodded and said: "Okay, just a million guan, I want to see if that kid from Songtsan Gampo is sincere." ”

Li Hao's eyes lit up when he heard this, when did Li Shimin become the same as him, depending on the amount of money, it depends on sincerity.

Li Shimin turned around and sat down behind the dragon case, and suddenly said: "Poetry madness, you sent Tuyuhun this time, defeated the Tubo army, smashed the Tubo conspiracy, and promoted the prestige of my Tang Dynasty. ”

"Huh?" Li Hao looked confused when he heard this, the reward for me? When will I be rewarded?

Li Shimin saw Li Hao's confused face, and was immediately displeased, and asked with a tiger face: "What?" Are you not satisfied with my reward? ”

"Uh......" Li Hao blinked quickly and said with a dry smile, "Your Majesty, Rong Weichen asked weakly, what reward did Your Majesty give?" ”

"Forgot so quickly?" Li Shimin said, "Those four ice cubes just now! ”

When Li Hao heard this, he suddenly felt that five thunders hit the top, and Nima's four ice cubes were rewarded? Is this perfunctory buddy? You want ice, right, I have a lot of ice in my freezer, how many tons do you want?

Li Shimin twisted his eyebrows and said, "Look at you like this, you don't seem to be very happy!" Dissatisfied with my reward? ”

Yes, it's time to use power to oppress people again, Li Hao can see it, Li Shimin seems to have mastered the trick of dealing with him, as the king of a country, the dignified Khan, he actually plays a scoundrel again and again, shameless, shameless! I've never seen such a brazen person!

In the face of Li Shimin's obscenity, Li Hao had to give in, and said with his head bowed: "Weichen is satisfied, Weichen is very satisfied, thank you for Your Majesty's grace?" He said this, but in his heart he slandered, "I am satisfied that you are a mallet......"

He was cursing in his heart, but he heard Li Shimin say again: "Poetry madness, I still have a reward for you." ”

"Huh?" Li Hao raised his eyebrows, and suddenly stopped cursing in his heart, it seemed that Li Shimin was joking with himself, and hurriedly looked at Li Shimin expectantly.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "The salt field experiment of the Scientific Research Temple has been successful. ”

"Really?" Li Hao was excited when he heard this, for him, although the Yantian plan was very sure, but after all, he had never tried it, and he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, and now when he heard that it was successful, how could he not be happy.

"Yes, you should take the lead in this matter!" Li Shimin smiled heartily, spread his hands and asked, "Poetry maniac, what reward do you want this time?" ”

The corners of Li Hao's mouth twitched, and he specially asked Lao Tzu what reward he wanted, teasing Lao Tzu? He smacked his lips and played his cards according to the routine: "Weichen bows for the country, and he doesn't dare to ask for rewards, he just wants the Tang Dynasty to be smooth and the country and the people to be safe." ”

Li Shimin also twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and secretly shouted in his heart: "Stinky boy, you can pretend to be good, and the wind and rain are smooth and the country and the people are safe, I have to see how long you can pretend." ”

So Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said, "It's really hot, come, poetry, eat a few more ice cubes." ”

Li Haohu's body was shocked, and the clay pen wanted to fool Lao Tzu with ice cubes again! Where's the cheat? Although his heart was roaring, he still squeezed out a smile and shook his head: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is not hot." ”

"How can it not be hot on such a hot day." Li Shimin beckoned, "Come, come over and take it yourself." ”

Seeing this, Li Hao was anxious, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has thought about what reward he wants." ”

"Oh? That's it? Li Shimin looked at Li Hao with a smile and asked, "Then tell me, what kind of reward do you want?" ”

As soon as Li Hao wanted to speak, Li Shimin suddenly raised his hand and said, "If you want money, don't talk about it." ”

Li Hao almost choked to death in one breath, that's right, he was just about to ask for money, and looked at Li Shimin with a pair of eyes and resentment.

Li Shimin glared at him and pointed at him: "You really want money!" ”

"It's not!" Li Hao hurriedly shook his head, "Weichen wants to ...... Do you think that His Royal Highness the King of Jin is smart and clever, and he is a malleable material, can His Majesty let Weichen teach His Royal Highness the King of Jin to read? ”

Li Hao's brain was spinning sharply just now, and for some reason he suddenly thought of the future emperor Li Zhi, and then his inspiration flashed and flashed, and the clever plan came to his mind, Li Zhi is definitely a dark horse, he is only thirteen years old now, and he has not entered the eyes of the ministers at all, for the battle for the throne, Li Zhi is not even qualified to participate now, Li Hao has to hurry up to burn Li Zhi's stove, seize the opportunity, and let Li Shimin allow himself to teach Li Zhi to read, and mix the identity of Li Zhi's teacher, Li Zhi will ascend the throne in the future, he will be the emperor, and when the time comes, it will be called a rising tide and a boat will rise. As for how to teach Li Zhi to read, Li Hao didn't think about it at all, because he hadn't read a day since he came out of Nantuo Mountain, and he still wanted to teach people and dream, he just wanted the name of the emperor.

"Teach a slave to read?" Li Shimin groaned when he heard this, it is said that the requirements for the prince to choose a teacher are very strict, not all birds can be the prince's teacher, Li Hao's identity is absolutely not enough, but Li Hao is famous, and the word poetry is not called in vain.

After pondering for a long time, Li Shimin nodded and said: "Okay, I have accepted your request, and when I choose an auspicious time, I will let the young slave bow to you." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Hao was ecstatic in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be plain and bowed deeply.

Li Shimin's decision pushed Li Hao to the lofty position of the future emperor.
