Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 371 Chapter 382: Prince Candidate

On the 24th of the first lunar month, Li Shimin's imperial decree arrived, summoning Li Hao's squadron to return to the imperial court. Li Hao happily led the army back to Chang'an. The journey was long, and when he returned to Chang'an, it was already warm spring.

On April [-]th, Li Hao arrived in Chang'an. Originally, he was going to return home as soon as he finished handing over his troops. Unexpectedly, Li Shimin sent someone to pass a verbal order telling him to go to the Temple of Ganlu to face the saint. Li Hao became depressed. When he came back, Li Shimin had to summon him personally. In the past, he would make great contributions every time he went to war. It is understandable that he was summoned. This time he went to the border and didn't even shoot an arrow, let alone meritorious service. , Is it necessary to summon it? Depression is depression, and the Ganlu Palace is still going.

After entering the Ganlu Hall, saluting, greetings, everything has already been set up, everyone is so familiar, everyone follows the set pattern, which is very good. Next, Li Shimin started the opening line of the set: "Poetry, this time I went to the border , Thanks a lot."

Li Hao's eyebrows twitched, this kind of nonsense again, alas, Li Shimin likes to talk such nonsense, he is very tired of this, but he still has to answer according to the routine: "I am serving the country, I dare not speak bitterness, I only want the country to be peaceful and the people safe .”

"You've done a great job again this time, Poetry Maniac."

"Huh?" Li Hao raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, thinking that he had heard wrongly, and that he made meritorious service after going to the border for a while?How is this going?

Seeing his confusion, Li Shimin explained with a smile: "After you left for the expedition, the envoys of mine brought the letter of state to reprimand Songtsen Gampo and told them that you would lead the troops to guard the frontier fortress. Songtsen Gampo was really afraid of you. Retiring soldiers, this is a soldier who surrenders without fighting, retreating with prestige, you deserve the title of Tubo's nemesis, haha..."

"Hehe." Li Hao laughed dryly, and said, "Your Majesty is too flattering to the humble officials. The reason why Tubo retreated was because of the prestige of Tian Khan and fear of the mighty national power of the Tang Dynasty. Take credit."

What Li Hao said was from the bottom of his heart. If you have credit, you have credit. If you don't have credit, you don't have credit. Seek truth from facts.

Li Shimin was very satisfied with his answer, and nodded with a smile: "Well, very good, I didn't misunderstand you. Over the years, you have grown up and become humble."

Li Hao could only laugh dryly, modesty?What is that?Can't find it in the dictionary.

The two chatted for a few more words, and Li Shimin suddenly threw out a blockbuster: "Poetry maniac, the ministers have been admonishing me recently, asking me to establish a new crown prince as soon as possible. After all, the crown prince is the foundation of a country. Candidates for the crown prince, I am in trouble, do you think... who is the most suitable candidate for the crown prince?"

Li Hao was secretly startled when he heard the words, and various speculations quickly arose in his mind. Why did Li Shimin ask himself this question suddenly? Did he notice something, or did he simply want to ask himself...

Although Li Hao had countless thoughts in his mind, these thoughts were only completed in an instant. He cupped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, I have not thought carefully about the candidate for the crown prince, so I don't know how to answer Your Majesty for a while."

Li Shimin didn't give up, and said: "Poet Kuang, you have always been resourceful and resourceful. Although I asked hastily, you might as well think carefully now, who is the most suitable?"

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

Li Hao told the truth again this time, the king of Wei is in full swing recently, many ministers have submitted memorials, begging to make Wei Wang Li Tai the crown prince, but Li Shimin frowns every time he sees these memorials, yes, the king of Wei formed a party to build momentum for himself , aroused Li Shimin's disgust.

After hearing Li Hao's words, Li Shimin felt rather disappointed, and said lightly, "You also support King Wei?"

Li Hao shook his head and said, "I'm not supporting the King of Wei, I'm just discussing 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 displeased when he heard the words, "You are making love, and if you say it, it is the same as not saying it."

Li Hao said helplessly: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I have just returned, and I have not heard about the affairs of the court for several months, so... I am not ready yet."

Li Shimin thinks about it. Li Hao has just returned with his troops, and he hasn't prepared anything. He hasn't known the situation in the court for several months, so he can't give a good answer, so Li Shimin said: "Okay, you go back now." Let's go, tomorrow will be held in court, remember to come, I will reward you in the hall."

Li Hao was taken aback when he heard the words, he obviously had not done any meritorious service, so why should he be rewarded by the palace?

Li Shimin saw his doubts, and explained with a smile: "Last year, I sent people to try planting Zhenguan rice, and the harvest was almost the same as what you said. I planned to reward you last year, but during that time, because of the prince's rebellion , I was in a bad mood, so I delayed it. I have planned to promote Zhenguan rice to the whole country this year. Among them, Huainan Road, Jiangnan Road, Lingnan Road and Jiannan Road are the most suitable for rice cultivation. They must be vigorously promoted. Two years later , I, Tang Dynasty, no longer have to worry about food, haha, poetry madman, this is a great achievement, so I will reward you heavily at the court meeting tomorrow."

Li Hao almost forgot about it, he was overjoyed in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be very indifferent, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is serious, it is my duty to seek the welfare of 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 probably already happy in your heart, so why hold back, you deserve a reward, and you will not be missed at all. Remember to come and receive the reward tomorrow."

"Of order." Li Hao grinned.

"Okay, it's okay, you can just step back."

"Yes, I will leave." Li Hao bowed his hands and withdrew.

After leaving the Tai Chi Palace, Li Hao was in a good mood, and rushed home all the way. When he entered Shanghe Village, Li Hao was stunned. There was no welcome in the way as before, and there was only Du Hong waiting for him alone, returning home as before. The contrast between the lively scenes at that time was too great.

Li Hao stepped forward and asked, "Du Hong, where are the wives? Why don't you see them coming to welcome you?"

Du Hong was embarrassed when he heard the words, he murmured for a moment and then said: "Madams are doing yoga in the inner courtyard."

"What?" Li Hao exclaimed with staring eyes, "I came back from Dunhuang, so far away, they still have the mind to do yoga?"

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

Li Hao was very annoyed, why did these prodigal women change so much before and after marriage, so sad and angry, Li Hao immediately strode towards the Hou's mansion.

After returning home, he hurriedly came to the inner courtyard, and sure enough, he saw five beauties wearing tight sportswear invented by Li Hao, doing yoga on the mats in the courtyard.

"Cough! Cough!" Li Hao coughed hard. The five girls found him, but ignored him, and continued to do yoga.

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

"Oh." Turandot responded, and then...they changed their yoga poses and continued to do yoga.

Li Hao's eyes were about to burst open. What kind of reaction was this? He didn't take the head of the family seriously. Li Hao quickly walked around in front of them, put his hips on his hips and shouted: "I'm back!"

Li Ping rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Come back as soon as you come back. What are you shouting about? Don't you see that we are busy?"

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

It was still Qin Suhao. She interrupted the yoga movement, came to Li Hao, and whispered: "My husband, don't be upset, the yoga we are doing today is very important. I heard that after doing this yoga, it is easier to conceive. And when doing this yoga, you must not be distracted." When she said the last word, Qin Su's face turned red with embarrassment.

Li Hao's eyes lit up immediately, he grinned, and said, "Then go do yoga quickly, don't get distracted."

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

Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Hao left, Li Ping smiled and praised: "Susu, well done, Li Hao, you just take yourself too seriously. This time I didn't make a single fart in the expedition, and I still want to be embarrassed. I can't get used to it." Look at him, if he finds someone's sign tonight, he will know what to say."

"Hmm." The other four girls laughed badly upon hearing this.

If Li Hao saw their conversation, he would probably collapse. The five wives of Ganqing had already formed an alliance, and Li Ping was like their eldest sister.

After dinner tonight, Li Hao wiped his mouth and called out excitedly: "Du Hong, bring the sign!"

Du Hong brought over five wooden signs on a tray, and all five wooden signs were turned upside down in the tray. Li Hao chose one at random, opened it, and it said "Li Ping" on it.

Seeing this, Li Ping said apologetically, "I'm sorry, husband, I'm not feeling well today, so I can't serve you to sleep."

"Huh?" Li Hao raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, I'll choose again." After speaking, he turned over another wooden card, it was Elena.

Eileen also said: "Husband, the concubine is not well today."

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

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

Li Hao is annoyed now, what about the five wives coming together?How is this possible? Even a fool can see that they are pretending. Li Hao slapped the table and stood up, angrily said: "Why, you are going to turn the world upside down? Tigers don't show their power and treat me as a sick cat! I want to see Are you really sick or fake sick!"

After he finished speaking, he stepped forward and picked up Li Ping, and then carried him across his shoulders, which made Li Ping scream "ahhh" in fright.

Li Hao turned around and pointed at the other women one by one, snorting coldly: "Stay well in the room, wait for me to check on her, and then check on you to see if you are really unwell." Looking at Li Ping, he turned around and strode away. The four girls looked at me and I looked at you, all of them were stupefied.

From eight o'clock in the evening until after twelve o'clock in the night, Li Hao "examined" the five wives one by one. It turned out that they were all lying. I can't cure you, little boy.

　The update is late, sorry, there will be another update later, I will have dinner first.
