Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 395 Chapter 406: Surprised by the Restaurant

"Xuanwei City...Xuanwei City..." Li Shimin savored it carefully, nodded with a smile, "It's a good name, it's a good name to proclaim my Tang Guowei, but... Shi Kuang, what does this Urumqi mean? What language is it?"

It is impossible for Li Hao to tell him that this is the language of the Uyghurs. After all, the Uyghurs have not yet appeared, so he lied casually: "Return to your majesty, I don't know what it means, I just picked it up randomly, anyway, it sounds like a foreign language. Language, besides, I feel that no matter which foreign language is used as the name, other foreign tribes will have opinions, and I will choose one at random, but it will be safe."

Li Shimin was taken aback when he heard the words, and then laughed loudly: "You, you...you are so stupid...well, just use these two names!"

All the ministers' hearts sank when they heard the words. They didn't care what name they used. What they cared about was Li Shimin's attitude. Li Shimin's favor for Li Hao really became more and more prosperous. The reward that originally suppressed Li Hao was a matter of Something to be happy about, but now they are not happy at all.

Next, Li Hao proposed the westward relocation of the military and political center of Anxi Duhufu. His central idea was to establish four towns in Anxi, and Li Shimin also agreed to all of them.

After discussing the matter of frontier defense, Li Shimin proposed another matter, that is, in order to commend the meritorious achievements of the great founding officials of the Tang Dynasty, he planned to invite painters to paint portraits of the heroes in Lingyan Pavilion to commend their achievements for future generations Congratulations, there are currently 24 confirmed candidates, including Hou Junji who participated in the rebellion. Now, there is still one candidate to be determined, that's right, Li Hao.

Upon hearing this, all the ministers objected, all kinds of reasons and rhetoric were flying all over the place, but the result was the same anyway, Li Hao's portrait was not allowed to enter the Lingyan Pavilion.

Li Hao was a little shocked by this incident. The portraits of the 24 heroes in Lingyan Pavilion have been passed down to future generations and are admired by thousands of people. If he can really enter Lingyan Pavilion, he will be famous forever. This time is unavoidable, but now that all the officials are obstructing him, he can't take the initiative to fight for it, so this matter should be very close.

In fact, the portrait of the hero of Lingyan Pavilion was Li Shimin's sudden inspiration. At the same time, he also hoped to make up for Li Hao through this matter, but he didn't expect the officials to obstruct it again. If they obstructed Li Hao's reward, it was because Li Hao was young , that makes sense, after all, Li Shimin is also afraid that Li Hao will become unsealable in the future.But now the reason why these ministers prevent Li Hao's portrait from entering Lingyan Pavilion is simply nonsense.

Because of Li Hao's entry into the Lingyan Pavilion, the Taiji Hall was full of noise, like a vegetable market. In the end, Li Shimin got angry and directly announced his resignation, and then left angrily.

When he walked out of the Tai Chi Palace, Li Hao saw Changsun Wuji outside Chengtianmen, and Changsun Wuji was also looking at him. The two of them were about four feet apart, and they just looked at each other indifferently. This is the new rising star in the court Looking at each other with the number one boss in the court, although the two of them didn't look at each other for a long time, there was a feeling of time stagnation. Once upon a time, Li Hao was still a bastard and shameless boy, and the eldest grandson Wuji wanted to win Li Hao, Li Hao once called him uncle, but now, they are on opposite sides.

Li Hao finally gave Changsun Wuji a calm smile, turned and left, and after leaving the imperial city, he rode towards Taibai Tower.

Taibai Building did not open today, but hung a wooden sign at the door, which read "The restaurant is under renovation, no guests at this time", and there was also the sound of knocking and knocking decorations inside.

Li Hao took Chen Song and knocked on the door. The shopkeeper Yao Dafu came to open the door. After entering, Li Hao asked, "Has the renovation started?"

"Go back to Lord Hou, yes." Yao Dafu replied respectfully.

"I'll go take a look." Li Hao walked upstairs while speaking.

Taibai Building has been renovated for three days, and finally reopened. The business is still as good as before, but the customers find that the interior of the restaurant does not seem to have changed much. What about the redecoration?

On February [-]th, the Grand Court Meeting was held again, and Li Shimin brought up the old matter again. All the ministers still objected to letting Li Hao's portrait into the Lingyan Pavilion. This time, their reasons for objecting were very unified.

Li Shimin was quite annoyed, so he forbeared for the time being, secretly decided to modify the plan, no longer talking about erecting portraits of meritorious service in the founding of the country, but erecting portraits of officials with outstanding meritorious service in the Tang Dynasty, anyway, he must let Li Hao's portrait enter Lingyan Pavilion.

On the morning of February [-]th, Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang went to look for Li Shimin and asked him to take him out to play. It was a coincidence that Li Zhi was traveling in Weibo, so Li Zhi also joined their team, and the three of them went shopping together.

At noon, Li Zhi shouted that he was hungry and wanted to eat. They happened to be near the Taibai Building, so they entered the Taibai Building, the old rules, Dizi No. [-] private room, a few Jinwu guards guarded outside the private room, pretending to eat in the hall , Li Yuanzhong was guarding in the room, and there were many Jinwu guards hidden outside the Taibai Tower.

Li Shimin and the others had just served their dishes when they suddenly heard a voice coming from room No. [-] next door: "Oh, brother Zhu, you said that the crown prince has been abolished for a year, why doesn't the emperor appoint a new crown prince?" ?”

Li Yuanzhong was pouring wine for Li Shimin, when Li Shimin heard what the neighbor said, he quickly raised his hand to stop him, waved his hand to signal him to back away, and then listened attentively.

Then I heard the person called Brother Zhu say: "Brother Liu, don't talk about such an important matter lightly, be careful that walls have ears."

The man called Brother Liu laughed and said, "It's not the first time we've talked about big things outside, why is Brother Zhu so timid this time?"

"Brother Liu, you drank too much."

"I didn't drink too much. Tell me, among the emperor's princes, which one is the most suitable to be the prince, King Wei? Or King Wu?"

"Oh..." Brother Zhu seemed to be sighing.

"If you don't tell me, then drink up this pot of wine, and you will be the host of this meal."

"I said yes." Brother Zhu sighed softly, and said slowly, "Although the emperor has many princes, the other princes are still young at present, and there seems to be no outstanding generation. As for King Wei and King Wu, they are not kings. select."

Li Shimin frowned when he heard the words, waved his hands and said softly: "Li Yuanzhong, take King Jin and the princess downstairs first."

"Yes." Li Yuanzhong responded softly, and led Li Zhi and Li Mingda out of the private room, walked to the first floor, and found a seat in the lobby on the first floor.

In Dizi No. [-] private room, Li Shimin was the only one left. Li Shimin listened carefully to the conversation between the two people next door.

"Oh? Wei Wang is knowledgeable and intelligent, and Wu Wang is extraordinary in martial arts. Why is he not the choice of the emperor?"

"You don't know that the king of Wei is obese, which is not a sign of longevity. To put it bluntly, if the king of Wei dies early after inheriting the throne, and the little prince is not yet an adult, the imperial power of the Tang Dynasty may fall aside. The country will be in turmoil.”

Li Shimin was startled when he heard this, and he began to secretly guess that the two people sitting next door should be scholars who are very concerned about state affairs. Worried, this is also a large part of the reason why he favors Li Tai.

Then I heard that brother Zhu continued: "King Wei is indeed knowledgeable and intelligent, but his heart is not as broad as his figure. If he is in power, the former prince may die soon. Of course, the former prince is now He is already a common man, and he is still a sinner. Life and death are no longer important. What I want to say is that King Wei has no tolerance for others. He is conceited and cannot listen to harsh words. The murder of King Wei may have been planned by King Wei alone."

"What!" Brother Liu exclaimed when he heard the words.

Li Shimin was also shocked when he heard this sentence. Li Chengqian was the prince he cultivated by himself. Although Li Chengqian disappointed him, he was also his most beloved son. He devoted his whole life to Li Chengqian. He is now a common man, but he is still Li Shimin's son. He still sends people to report Li Chengqian's news regularly. This is the concern that a father must do. Now he suddenly heard that Li Chengqian's murder of Li Tai was planned by Li Tai. How can I not be shocked.

At this time, Brother Liu in the next room heard the words and hurriedly said: "Brother Zhu, you still say that I am bold, but I think you are more courageous than me. You dare to say such nonsense."

"I'm just guessing." Brother Zhu said slowly, "Although most people don't know about the former prince's rebellion, you and I have heard about it. To visit him, but the king of Wei suddenly went to visit him. You also know that although the king of Wei and the former prince are brothers, they are actually in the same situation. How could he be kind enough to visit the former prince? He must be someone else. There is a purpose, the former crown prince has just experienced a catastrophe of life and death, and his emotions are uncertain, as long as he is stimulated, his mind will be in chaos and he will do something irrational..."
