On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, Li Shimin's holy decree arrived, summoning Li Hao's class to return to the court, Li Hao happily took the army back to Chang'an, the road was far away, and when he returned to Chang'an, it was already a warm spring.

On April 14, Li Hao arrived in Chang'an, he was going to hurry home after handing over the soldiers and horses, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to send someone to send an edict, spread that he went to the Ganlu Temple to face the saint, Li Hao was depressed, every time he returned from the expedition, Li Shimin had to personally summon him, he used to make great contributions every time he went out, and it was understandable that he was summoned, this time he went to the border for a trip, not even an arrow was released, let alone meritorious service, is it necessary to summon him, depressed and depressed, Ganlu Hall still has to go.

Entered the Manna Palace, saluted, greeted, everything already has a routine, everyone is so familiar, everyone comes according to the routine, it's good, next, Li Shimin started the opening remarks of the routine: "Poetry madness, this time I went to the border, I worked hard for you." ”

Li Hao's eyebrows twitched, it's this kind of nonsense again, alas, Li Shimin likes to say these nonsense, he is super annoyed by this, but he still has to answer according to the routine: "Weichen serves the country, he doesn't dare to say bitterness, he just wants the country and the people to be safe." ”

"This time you have made another meritorious service."

"Huh?" Li Hao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and he had made a meritorious service by going to the border to play around? What's going on?

Li Shimin saw that he was full of confusion, and explained with a smile: "After you set out on the expedition, I sent a letter of state to denounce Songtsen Gampo, and told them that you would lead the troops to guard the border fortress, and Songtsan Gampo was really afraid ......of you, so he retreated.

"Huh." Li Hao laughed dryly and said, "Your Majesty is too elevated by the micro-ministers, the reason why Tubo withdrew from the army is because of the prestige of the Heavenly Khan, and he is afraid of the strong national strength of the Tang Dynasty. ”

What Li Hao said was from his heart, meritorious service is meritorious service, no merit is no merit, seek truth from facts.

Li Shimin was very satisfied with his answer, smiled and nodded: "Well, very good, I didn't mistake you, over the years, you have grown up and become humble." ”

Li Hao can only laugh dryly, modest? What's that? Can't look it up in the dictionary.

The two chatted a few more words, and Li Shimin suddenly dropped a bombshell: "Poetry madness, recently, the ministers have been admonishing me to set up a new prince as soon as possible, after all, the prince is the foundation of a country, this prince candidate, can be called a difficult one, do you think ...... Who is the most suitable candidate for the crown prince? ”

Li Hao was secretly shocked when he heard this, and all kinds of speculations quickly arose in his heart, why did Li Shimin suddenly ask himself this question, did he notice something, or did he simply want to ask himself......

Although Li Hao had countless thoughts in his heart, these thoughts were only completed in an instant, and he replied: "Your Majesty, Weichen has not thought carefully about the selection of the crown prince, so he doesn't know how to answer Your Majesty for a while. ”

Li Shimin didn't give up, and said: "You have always been resourceful and poetic, although I asked in a hurry, you might as well think about it carefully, who is the most suitable?" ”

Li Hao pretended to think for a moment and replied, "Your Majesty, as far as the current situation is concerned, it seems that King Wei is the most suitable. ”

Li Hao told the truth again this time, the King of Wei has been in full swing recently, and many ministers have asked for Li Tai, the king of Wei, to be the crown prince, but Li Shimin frowns every time he sees these songs, that's right, the King of Wei formed a party and built momentum for himself, which caused Li Shimin's disgust.

After Li Shimin listened to Li Hao's words, he was quite disappointed, and said lightly: "You also support King Wei?" ”

Li Hao shook his head and said: "Wechen doesn't support King Wei, Wechen just talks about the current situation." ”

"Then what do you think of King Wu?"

Li Hao thought for a while and said, "King Wu is actually not bad. ”

"You ......" Li Shimin frowned and said unhappily when he heard this, "You are like mud, saying it is equivalent to not saying it." ”

Li Hao said helplessly: "Your Majesty forgives me, Weichen has just returned, and he has not heard of the affairs of the court for several months, so ...... Not ready yet. ”

Li Shimin thought about it, Li Hao had just returned with his troops, and he hadn't prepared anything, and he didn't know the situation in the DPRK and China for several months, so he naturally couldn't give a good answer, so Li Shimin said: "Okay, you can step down, tomorrow's court meeting, remember to come, I want to reward you in the palace." ”

Li Hao was stunned when he heard this, he obviously didn't make meritorious contributions, why should he be rewarded by the palace?

Li Shimin saw his doubts, and explained with a smile: "Last year, I sent someone to try to plant Zhenguan rice, and the harvest was almost the same as what you said, and I was going to reward you last year, but during that time, because of the prince's rebellion, I was in a bad mood, so I was delayed, and I have planned to promote Zhenguan rice throughout the country this year, among which Huainan Road, Jiangnan Road, Lingnan Road and Jiannan Road are the four most suitable for rice, and they must be vigorously promoted. This is a great achievement, so tomorrow the court meeting, I will reward you heavily. ”

Li Hao almost forgot about this, and he was overjoyed, but he still pretended to be very indifferent on the surface, and said: "Your Majesty is serious, it is the duty of Weichen to seek benefits for the people of the Tang Dynasty, and I dare not ask for rewards." ”

Li Shimin smiled and said: "You don't have to pretend, I know that you are only afraid that you are already happy in your heart, why hold back, your reward will not be less than yours, remember to come tomorrow to receive the reward." ”

"Yes." Li Hao grinned.

"Alright, it's okay, you can step down."

"Yes, Weichen retired." Li Hao retreated.

Out of the Taiji Palace, Li Hao was in a good mood, all the way home in a hurry, as soon as he entered Shanghe Village, Li Hao was stunned, there was no welcome in the past, only Du Hong was waiting for him alone, and the lively scene when he went home before was too contrasting.

Li Hao stepped forward and asked, "Du Hong, what about the ladies?" Why don't you see them coming? ”

Du Hong was embarrassed for a while when he heard this, and then said, "The ladies are doing yoga in the inner courtyard." ”

"What?" Li Hao glared at him when he heard this, and exclaimed, "I came back from Dunhuang, so far away, they still have the heart to do yoga?" ”

"Uh......" Du Hong didn't know how to reply for a while.

Li Hao was very annoyed, how could these losers change so much before and after marriage, so sad and angry, Li Hao immediately strode towards the Hou Mansion.

When I returned home, I came to the inner courtyard in a hurry, and sure enough, I saw five beauties wearing tight sportswear invented by Li Hao, doing yoga on the mat in the courtyard.

"Ahem! Ahem!" Li Hao coughed hard, and the fifth girl found him, but ignored him, and then continued to do yoga.

Li Hao was stunned when he saw this, then his eyes widened, and he said loudly: "I'm back!" ”

"Oh." Turandot answered, and then ...... They changed their yoga poses and continued to do yoga.

Li Hao's eyes were about to split, what kind of reaction was this, this was too much to take the head of the family seriously, Li Hao walked around to them quickly, and shouted: "I'm back!" ”

Li Ping rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Come back, come back, what are you yelling about?" Don't you see we're busy? ”

Li Hao was very angry when he heard this, and asked angrily: "I am the head of the family!" I've come all the way back from Dunhuang! Shouldn't you welcome me? Don't you want me? ”

It's still Qin Suhao, she interrupted her yoga movements, came to Li Hao's side, and whispered: "Don't be annoyed, husband, this yoga we do today is very important, I heard that after doing this yoga, it is easier to conceive, and when you do this yoga, you must not be distracted." When he said the last word, Qin Su's face turned red with shame.

Li Hao's eyes suddenly lit up, grinned, and said, "Then you go and do yoga, don't be distracted." ”

"Hmm." Qin Su nodded happily, returned to the mat and continued to do yoga, and Li Hao also left satisfied.

Who knew that as soon as Li Hao left, Li Ping smiled and praised: "Susu, well done, Li Hao, I just take myself too seriously, I didn't set up a fart this time, I still want to be scared, I can't get used to him, if he turns over someone's sign tonight, he knows what to say." ”

"Hmm." The other four women laughed wickedly when they heard this.

If Li Hao sees their conversation, it is estimated that he will collapse, the five wives who dare to love have formed an alliance, Li Ping seems to be their eldest sister, and Mrs. Zhengfu is really courageous, if he knows, it is estimated that his intestines will regret it.

After dinner tonight, Li Hao wiped his mouth and shouted with interest: "Du Hong, bring the brand!" ”

Du Hong brought five wooden cards over with a tray, and the five wooden cards were all buckled in the tray, Li Hao chose one casually, opened it and took a look, it said "Li Ping".

Seeing this, Li Ping said apologetically: "I'm sorry, husband, the concubine is unwell today, and I can't serve you to sleep peacefully." ”

"Huh?" Li Hao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "That's it, I'll choose again." After saying that, he turned over another wooden card, and it was Elena.

Elena also said: "Husband, the concubine can't be in body today. ”

"Huh?" Li Hao was a little confused, it's okay, turn it over again.

All five signs were opened, and all five wives were "unwell".

Li Hao is annoyed now, five wives come to menstruation together? How is this possible, fools can see that they are pretending, Li Hao slapped the table and stood up, and said angrily: "What, you guys are going to turn the sky upside down?" Tigers don't threaten when I'm a sick cat, right? I'm going to see if you're really unwell or fake unwell! ”

As soon as he said that, he stepped forward and picked up Li Ping, and then carried him horizontally on his shoulder, which frightened Li Ping to scream "ahhhhhhhhhhhh

Li Hao turned around and pointed at the rest of the women one by one, and snorted coldly: "All stay in the room, wait for me to check her, and then check on you to see if you are really unwell." After that, he carried Li Ping, turned around and strode away, four women, you look at me, I look at you, they are all confused.

From eight o'clock in the evening to more than twelve o'clock in the night, Li Hao "checked" the five wives one by one, and it turned out that they were all lying, and they were all very well when they were unwell, hey, they couldn't cure you, little one.
