Chapter 281 Chapter 291: Princess Wencheng - Li Ping
"Oh, Cheng Fan's daughter? Li Ping?" Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully, and said, "I'm very pleased that Cheng Qian offered a wonderful plan to relieve my worries."

Although it was only a brief compliment, Li Chengqian was extremely happy, and secretly praised his wit, which could not only deceive Li Hao, but also be praised by his father, which was cool.

The Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th was a big day for the people of the Tang Dynasty. Suddenly, an imperial decree came to Li Daozong's residence, conferring Li Ping as Princess Wencheng and marrying Tubo Zanpu.

It was Xu Lian who came to announce the decree. After hearing the decree, Li Daozong felt like falling into a cellar of ice all over his body, and he froze in place, as if he had lost his soul.

"Jiangxia King, Jiangxia King, Jiangxia King!" Xu Lian shouted three times, each louder than the last, and finally called Li Daozong's soul back.

Li Daozong got up slowly, and stepped forward with his brows furrowed, but he didn't reach out to accept the order, but said: "Grandpa Xu, this marriage... can't be done!"

"What?" Xu Lian was startled when he heard this, his eyebrows were about to fly.

Li Daozong sighed sadly: "Grandpa Xu, let me tell you the truth, in fact, the little girl Ping'er has already made a marriage contract with someone..."

"Jiang Xia Wang Shenyan!" Xu Lian made a gesture of silence to him in shock, and said, "Jiang Xia Wang, you are usually so alert, why are you confused at this time!"

As a member of the royal family, Li Daozong has always been trembling, like walking on thin ice. To Xu Lian, he has been giving gifts secretly, and he has given a lot. After all, Xu Lian is quite trusted by Li Shimin, and sometimes a word can solve his crisis. Of course, Xu Lian His loyalty to Li Shimin was unquestionable, and he would not help Li Daozong too much, but he still had to remind Li Daozong of such a terrible thing.

Li Daozong fell silent immediately. Xu Lian was right. He wanted to resist the edict just now. Even if he had a legitimate reason to reject Li Shimin's imperial edict, he still refuted Li Shimin's face. I'm afraid that the days to come will be impossible, Li Shimin If you hold a grudge and want to kill him, it's not like a joke.

Xu Lian continued to remind: "King Jiang Xia, the emperor values ​​face the most, you must not be stupid, you can withdraw your daughter's marriage contract on your own, no matter how big the face is, it is not as big as the emperor's. "

"Thank you, Eunuch Xu, for your suggestion." Li Daozong cupped his hands, gave a deep salute, and then took the imperial edict with both hands.

"King Jiang Xia, please do it for yourself, and don't make mistakes." Xu Lianyu earnestly warned, then turned and left, leaving Li Daozong in a mess in the wind.

After a long time, Li Daozong suddenly said loudly: "Come here, go to the Marquis Mansion of Lantian County quickly, let Li Hao come to see me, and tell me that there is a very urgent matter!"

It was getting late, and Li Hao was busy hanging lanterns at home. Ever since he learned that Turandot was pregnant, he was in an unusually good mood. Today, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he actually asked to hang lanterns with everyone in person to celebrate.

Li Hao stood on the wooden ladder, and just after hanging a lantern, Wang San, the concierge, ran over in a hurry and shouted under the wooden ladder: "Hou Ye, King Jiang Xia sent a message, saying that there is an urgent matter. You go to the house and have a talk."

"Ah?" Li Hao was taken aback when he heard the words, jumped down from the wooden ladder, and said, "Where is the person, I'll see you."

Wang San hurriedly took him to the outside of the courtyard and came to the gatehouse. Li Hao saw a thin man who seemed familiar, but he didn't recognize him. When the thin man saw Li Hao, he immediately Salute: "The villain Li Xu sees the Marquis of Li County." After saying that, he bowed deeply.

Li Hao stepped forward to help him up, and asked, "What is the urgent matter for King Jiangxia to find me?"

"This villain doesn't know." Li Xu shook his head and said, "The villain only knows that what the prince said is an urgent matter."

He paused, and then said: "By the way, today the emperor issued an imperial decree to the house, and then the prince sent a villain to deliver the letter."

"Imperial decree?" Li Hao frowned when he heard the words, feeling bad, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Wang San, prepare the horse, pass it on to Lin Dingkun, and lead the team to Chang'an with me."

Just as Wang San was about to leave, Li Hao raised his hand suddenly: "Wait a minute, no, it's getting late now, no matter how fast I am, it will be dark by the time I reach Chang'an, how can I enter the city?"

Li Xu was also taken aback when he heard the words, scratched his head and said, "This villain didn't think about it, maybe it's because the prince is too anxious."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, Wang Sanpidianpidian ran to open the door, and a familiar voice came from outside the door: "Is the Marquis of Lantian County at home?"

"It's Li Daozong?" Li Hao was surprised when he heard the words, Li Daozong actually came in person, he hurried over to pull Wang San away, and he found Li Daozong standing outside the door with a few of his followers, looking tired.

When the two sides met, Li Daozong said happily: "It's great, you are at home, and you didn't miss it on the way."

Li Hao asked in surprise, "What's your hurry, and you came here in person?"

"After I sent someone to send a letter, I realized it was too late. I was afraid that you would not be able to enter the city gate, so I came here myself." Li Daozong entered the door by himself, pulling Li Haodao, "Go, find someone who is empty." place to talk."

Seeing that Li Daozong lost his composure, Li Hao felt even more ominous in his heart. He took him to his study, ordered the special forces to martial law around him, closed the door, and asked solemnly, "What happened? You are so anxious!" ?”

"Look at this." Li Daozong took out a bright yellow scroll from his arms, which was an imperial decree.

Li Hao was extremely surprised. He unfolded it in his hands and looked at it. After reading it, he stared and exclaimed: "How could this happen!"

"Hush—" Li Daozong made a gesture of silence, and said, "Don't bark, I'm afraid others won't know!"

Li Hao's brows were furrowed for a moment, then he turned to ask him, "This matter...you agreed?"

"The imperial decree is here, can you not agree?" Li Daozong took it for granted.

"Why don't you die!" Li Hao smashed the imperial decree on Li Daozong's chest, he was very angry, if Li Daozong was not Li Ping's father, he would probably beat someone.

Li Daozong was also very wronged, he caught the imperial edict in a hurry, and almost fell to the ground, why not: "I know that I am sorry for you, but that is the emperor..."

"Fucking emperor!" Li Hao snorted coldly with staring eyes, "I know how to find trouble for me all day long!"

Li Daozong was stunned when he heard the words, and stared at Li Hao dumbfounded. Although he knew that Li Hao was quite courageous, he never thought that he would be so courageous that he dared to insult Li Shimin. Most importantly, he actually insulted Li Shimin in front of his own face. , which makes it very difficult for him to deal with. Is this an expression of trust in yourself?Or are you pulling him aboard?

Li Hao turned his head and saw Li Daozong's stunned look, knowing that he had frightened him, so he paused and asked, "Scared?"

"One thing." Li Daozong came back to his senses and said with lingering fear in his heart, "You...don't talk nonsense when you get angry. Such rebellious words...don't say it in the future."

"You still have the nerve to come and preach to me." Li Hao gave him a gloomy look, and asked resentfully, "Why didn't you tell me about Li Ping's engagement with me?"

Li Daozong was full of doubts: "The engagement we made was a verbal agreement, and there is no marriage certificate to prove it. How can I say it? Besides, how long do you think I can live if you refute the emperor's face?"

Li Hao also knew that what he said was reasonable, but he was very depressed in his heart. He walked back and forth in the room with a frown and asked, "Does Li Ping know about this?"

"Don't dare to tell her." Li Daozong said sadly, "If I tell her, I don't know what kind of trouble this little girl will cause."

"You deserve it!" Li Daozong said angrily, and continued to pace back and forth, his mind running fast, thinking about how to deal with it.

"Don't turn around, it makes me dizzy." Li Daozong was already upset, but when he turned around, he felt a little dazed and dizzy.

Li Hao ignored him and continued to pace. After a long time, he stopped slowly and said, "Don't worry about this matter, you can go back first, remember, this matter is confidential, don't let Li Ping know, I'll figure it out."

"You have a solution?" Li Daozong looked at Li Hao suspiciously. He didn't think Li Hao had the ability to solve this matter. After all, the imperial decree had been issued, and this was a certainty.

"I can't help but you can?" Li Hao gave him a disgusted look, Li Daozong shut up awkwardly, this matter is his fault.

Li Hao pointed to Li Daozong: "Look at what you look like as a county king. You look like a grandson. You must have done a lot of immoral things in your previous life, and you will be punished in this life."

Li Daozong smacked his lips helplessly when he heard the words. In fact, sometimes he was really suspicious, because he was really a bit useless in his life.

If others saw such a scene, they would definitely be shocked. The majestic Jiangxia County King, the official of the imperial court, was pointed at his nose and scolded by a young man, but he had no temper.

"Okay, let's not talk about you." Seeing his future father-in-law being trained like this, Li Hao couldn't bear it, waved his hand, and said, "It's too late, you go back."

"I can't go back." Li Daozong spread his hands, "I can't enter the city anymore, so I'll stay at your house for a night."

"Then let's talk again." Li Hao heard the words, "The imperial decree is issued to you today, and it is estimated that the Tubo envoy will be notified within two days. I need you to do two things."

Li Daozong hurriedly asked: "Which two things?"

Li Hao raised a finger and said: "The first thing is to find out why the emperor appointed your daughter to marry Tubo. If he thought of it himself, then that's all. If it's someone else, hehe, I'm afraid there are ulterior motives."

Li Daozong was shocked when he heard the words, and nodded immediately: "Okay, leave this matter to me, it's not difficult to investigate."

"The second thing." Li Hao held up two fingers, "Can you delay this matter for a while, preferably for more than a month."

"This..." Li Daozong frowned when he heard the words, his face was full of embarrassment.

Before he could speak, Li Hao waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I don't count on you for this matter."

Li Daozong is so embarrassed, how can you say that Li Hao is also his future son-in-law, is it not embarrassing to be looked down upon so much by his future son-in-law? look!"

However, he didn't do it, which shows that he really couldn't do it.

Li Hao said slowly: "I will make another plan on this matter, and try to see if Tubo can give up on his own initiative."

Li Daozong was surprised when he heard the words: "What do you mean?"

Li Hao opened his eyes wide and said, "Let Tubo voluntarily give up the marriage."

　Come, let's brainstorm how to get Tubo to voluntarily withdraw from the engagement.
