Chapter 274 Chapter 283: Future Emperor Teacher - Li Hao
When Li Hao returned to Chang'an, it happened to be the first day of Dafu. Fortunately, he stayed in the desert for a while, and now his immunity to the hot weather has improved a lot, but he couldn't help being covered in sweat. He just took off the bottom of the box. If you still wear that kind of full-wrapped silver armor in this kind of day, it feels like you are trying to die.

Just after Li Hao entered Mingde Gate, a group of people came from the Taiji Palace and issued Li Shimin's oral order to let Li Hao enter the Ganlu Palace to have an audience immediately.

Li Hao rushed to Tai Chi Palace non-stop, and entered the Ganlu Hall. There was only Li Shimin in the hall, and no ministers were seen. He should be waiting for Li Hao specially, so that Li Shimin can be summoned specially, which is not something ordinary people can do.

After Li Hao entered the palace to salute, Li Shimin said happily: "Well... Shi Zai (crazy) is exempt from the ceremony." It seemed that Li Shimin seemed to have something in his mouth when he spoke, and sure enough, he heard "crack, bang, bang" from his mouth sound, he is eating.

Li Hao looked up at Li Shimin, and his expression became very exciting. Li Shimin today can be described in four words - disheveled.

Usually when an emperor sees his courtiers, not only the courtiers have to straighten their crowns and wrinkle their crowns, but the emperor also has to dress neatly, otherwise it is not in line with etiquette, but this time Li Shimin didn't wear a crown, and he half-unbuttoned his dragon robe, revealing his dark chest hair, which made Li Hao's eyes hurt , because of hot eyes.

Two palace maids in the rear were fanning Li Shimin, but due to the hot weather, Li Shimin was still sweating profusely. There was a basin of ice cubes on the dragon table, and Li Shimin was chewing ice cubes in his mouth.

Seeing Li Hao raised his head, Li Shimin took a closer look and found that Li Hao didn't even have any sweat on his forehead, so he couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Aren't you hot, poet mad?"

Li Hao was sweating wildly, and said: "Go back to Your Majesty, my heart will calm down naturally."

"My heart is also very calm." Li Shimin said depressedly, "But I still feel hot."

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

"You're talking nonsense." Li Shimin was very out of order today, maybe because he was too happy, maybe because it was really hot, he took an ice cube from the basin and threw it to Li Hao, saying, "Your reward."

Li Hao caught the ice cube and took a bite, "Crackling, crackling", ouch, the heart is so cold, the heart is soaring, one word - cool!
"How is it? Cool?" Li Shimin looked at Li Hao happily.

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

The two monarchs and ministers chewed ice cubes like this for a long time. Li Shimin finally felt refreshed. He stepped off the dragon chair and came to Li Hao. Li Hao quickly raised his head to look at the roof, and his big hairy legs were more eye-catching than his chest hair.

Li Shimin patted Li Hao's shoulder hard: "Poetry Maniac, this time I went to Tuyuhun, thank you for your hard work."

Li Hao shook his head hastily: "Doing things for His Majesty, I dare not speak bitterly."

"Hard work is hard work, what dare you?" Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "This time Tubo intercepted the team halfway to snatch the marriage, it was really unexpected, fortunately, with you, Li Shikuang, haha, this time we can let you go!" That boy Songtsan Gampo suffered a lot, even Lunzhu Rigzin was captured by you."

"Hehe, it's just luck." Li Hao smiled modestly.

"Oh? What are you doing with your head up all the time? There is a treasure on the roof of this hall?" Li Shimin also looked at the roof curiously.

"No." Li Hao hurriedly looked at Li Shimin at the same level, and said, "My minister's neck hurts a little these days, so it's better to lie up."

"Oh." Li Shimin nodded, and continued the topic just now, "It's really a surprise to defeat Tubo this time. Tubo also knows how powerful our Tang Dynasty is. Songtsan Gampo's special envoy came to plead guilty, and also sent gold and silver. Twelve boxes of jewels, I have had someone count them, and they are worth 50 guan."

"So much?" Li Hao was startled when he heard this, and he couldn't believe it. Tubo is located on a high plateau, so it is not suitable for farming. Most of them are animal husbandry, but they are not as rich as Tang Dynasty. 50 guan is a huge sum of money for Tubo. Zanganbu was willing to spend so much money to plead guilty, which made Li Hao very puzzled.

"This money is not so easy to get." Li Shimin smiled and said, "His money is used to buy people."

Li Hao was stunned when he heard the words, and asked, "Your Majesty, is he trying to redeem Lunzhu Renzeng?"

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

Li Hao frowned when he heard the words, and said in his heart that although he loves money, he thinks that prisoners of war cannot be released. What Tubo lacks most is people. There are more than 2 people, which can already form a very powerful army. Small countries like Gaochang and Tuyuhun can be destroyed several times.

Seeing Li Hao frowning, Li Shimin seemed to have guessed what Li Hao was thinking, and said with a light smile, "I know what you want to say, but...poetry maniac, between countries, we can't get too rigid. Tubo and my Tang Dynasty Neighboring, although my Tang Dynasty is not afraid of Tubo, there is a saying that is good, not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves thinking about it."

Li Hao nodded when he heard the words: "Your Majesty is right."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows suddenly and said: "Although Songtsan Gampo has softened, it is not so easy for me to let go of Lunzhu Rinzeng and his more than 2 soldiers and horses so easily. I think 50 guan is not enough. Shikuang, do you think it would be more appropriate to add more money?"

Li Hao raised a finger without hesitation, and Li Shimin nodded when he saw this, "Okay, then add another [-] guan."

"Your Majesty, it's one million guan."

"Hiss—" Li Shimin couldn't help but gasped. 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 look, and scolded with a smile: "Looking at the world, when it comes to greed for money, even I have to give in to you, Li Shikuang."

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, what I mean by this minister is a total of 100 million guan."

"Oh." Li Shimin nodded suddenly when he heard the words. A total of 100 million guan is still a little acceptable, but it still feels too much. Songtsan Gampo can agree.

But Li Shimin thought about it again, regardless of whether he agreed or not, anyway, the initiative is on his side, Songtsan Gampo should be the one who should be troubled, what kind of mind is he, so he nodded and said: "Okay, just 100 million guan I want to see if that boy Songtsan Gampo is sincere."

Li Hao's eyes lit up when he heard the words, when did Li Shimin become like him, sincerity depends on the amount of money.

Li Shimin turned around and went back to the dragon case and sat down. He suddenly said in a serious manner: "Shi Kuang, you have defeated the Tuyuhun army this time, smashed the Tubo conspiracy, and exalted our national prestige in the Tang Dynasty. You should be rewarded for your loyalty. Are you satisfied with the reward I gave you?"

"Ah?" Li Hao was stupefied when he heard the words, the reward for me?When did you give me the reward?

Seeing Li Hao's bewildered expression, Li Shimin was immediately displeased, and asked with a haughty face, "What? Are you not satisfied with my reward?"

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

"Forget it so quickly?" Li Shimin said, "The four ice cubes just now!"

When Li Hao heard the words, he suddenly felt thunderbolt, and the four ice cubes are the reward?Is this a perfunctory buddy?Do you want ice cubes? There are a lot of them in my freezer. How many tons do you want?
Li Shimin frowned, and said: "Looking at you, you don't seem very happy! Are you dissatisfied with my reward?"

Well, it's time to use power to suppress people again. Li Hao can see that Li Shimin seems to have mastered the knack of dealing with him. Extremely shameless!Never seen such a brazen person!
Facing Li Shimin's lustful power, Li Hao had to give in, nodded and said: "I am satisfied, I am very satisfied, thank you for your majesty's kindness?" He said so, but he was slandering in his heart, "I am satisfied that you are a stick... ..."

He was cursing in his heart, but he heard Li Shimin say again: "Shi Kuang, 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 him, and he hurriedly looked at Li Shimin expectantly.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "The salt field experiment in the Scientific Research Temple was successful."

"Really?" Li Hao was excited when he heard the words. For him, although the Yantian Project was very sure, he had never tried it before, so he was still a little uneasy. Now that he heard that it was successful, how could he not be happy.

"That's right, you should take the first place in this matter!" Li Shimin smiled heartily, and asked, "Poetry Maniac, what reward do you want this time?"

The corners of Li Hao's mouth twitched, and he asked Lao Tzu what reward he wanted, just to tease Lao Tzu?He smacked his lips and played cards according to the routine: "I bow for the country, I dare not ask for rewards, I only hope that the Tang Dynasty will be in good weather, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe."

Li Shimin twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this sentence, and cried out in his heart: "Stinky boy, you can pretend, and the weather is good, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, I will see how long you can pretend."

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

Li Hao was shocked, and the mud pen wanted to fool me with ice again!Where are you cheating?Although he was roaring in his heart, he still squeezed out a smile, shook his head and said, "Return to Your Majesty, I am not hot."

"How can it not be hot in such a hot day?" Li Shimin beckoned, "Come on, come here quickly, take it yourself."

Seeing this, Li Hao became anxious, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have decided what reward I want."

"Oh? Now that you've figured it out?" Li Shimin looked at Li Hao with a smile and asked, "Then tell me, what reward do you want?"

Just as Li Hao was about to speak, Li Shimin waved his hand suddenly and said, "If you want money, then don't say it."

Li Hao almost choked to death, yes, he was going to ask for money, and he looked at Li Shimin resentfully with his eyes open.

Li Shimin stared at him and said, "You really want money!"

"No!" Li Hao shook his head hastily, "I think... I think His Royal Highness King Jin is smart and malleable. Can His Majesty let my minister teach His Highness Jin how to read?"

Li Hao's mind turned sharply just now. For some reason, he suddenly thought of the future emperor Li Zhi, and then his inspiration flashed again and again. A clever plan came to his mind. Li Zhi is definitely a dark horse. He is only 13 years old now, and he has not caught the eyes of the ministers at all. As for the battle for the throne, Li Zhi doesn't even have the qualifications to participate now, so Li Hao has to hurry up and burn Li Zhi's stove, seize the opportunity, and let Li Shimin allow himself to teach Li Zhi to read, and pretend to be Li Zhi's teacher. Now that Li Zhi is enthroned, he will be the emperor's teacher. At that time, it will be called a rising tide. As for how to teach Li Zhi to read, Li Hao didn't think about it at all, because he hasn't read a day since he left Nantuo Mountain. Books, but also wants to teach people, dreaming, he just wants the title of emperor teacher.

"Teach young slaves to read?" Li Shimin muttered to himself when he heard the words. It is said that the prince's selection of teachers is very strict. Not everyone can be a prince's teacher. Li Hao's status is definitely not enough, but Li Hao is famous for his talent. Well, the word poetic madness is not called for nothing.

After pondering for a long time, Li Shimin nodded and said: "Okay, I have agreed to your request. When I choose an auspicious time, I will let the young slave pay homage 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 teacher.
