Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 618 Chapter 635: Private meeting with Wu Meiniang

Of course Li Hao would not tell the history he knew. Seeing Li Hao frowning, Li Ji asked in confusion, "What's wrong with Poetry? But what's wrong?"

Li Hao nodded and asked, "Has Your Majesty agreed to the canonization?"

"I agreed in the hall early today." Li Ji said slowly, "The imperial decree will be issued tomorrow."

Li Hao let out a long sigh, and said slowly: "I have the ambition to clear the border of the Tang Dynasty, but now there is another Nanzhao. Now the king of Nanzhao is indeed loyal to the Tang Dynasty, but who can guarantee that his descendants will be the same."

Qin Qiong asked after hearing the words: "Then according to your opinion, what should be done?"

Li Hao said solemnly: "Take back the territory of Nanzhao and set it as Jimi Prefecture."

Li Ji said thoughtfully: "Although the Erhai area is the territory of our Tang Dynasty, the mountain roads are rugged and impenetrable, and it is humid and rainy, which is not suitable for the people of our Tang Dynasty. Therefore, it has become the residence of Liuzhao and Taimin. Taking it back, I'm afraid it will arouse their anger and lead to military incidents."

Cheng Yaojin also nodded and said: "That's right, in that ghostly place, the sky is never clear for three days, and the ground is never flat, and only the troops from Songzhou can fight there. The climate is much worse than that of Qiongnan, if there is a war, it will not be good for our Tang Dynasty."

Li Hao also nodded and sighed: "That's right, it's true, but... the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. We are now a strong country, so we don't need to be afraid of him. We should take advantage of this time to suppress him. If in the future, my Tang Dynasty is unfortunately Prosperity has turned to decline, and I want to deal with them, but I am powerless."

The three of them were silent after hearing all the words. What Li Hao said was also reasonable. Many foreign countries are capricious and annoying. It would be great if Nanzhao could really be set up as a prefecture. However, the biggest problem right now is, Li Shimin's golden mouth had already opened, and the emperor's words were not for jokes.

Li Hao pondered for a long time, then suddenly got up and said, "No, I still have to meet His Majesty."

Li Ji hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, shook his head and said: "Poetry madness, your majesty has already opened his mouth, no matter how reasonable your words are, he will not agree."

Li Hao said solemnly: "Whether your Majesty agrees or not is one thing, and whether I say it or not is another matter. As a minister, you should worry about the country, raise the country, point out the country, so that you can be worthy of the place where you live." Otherwise, what is the difference between me and those rotten scholars who eat vegetarian meals with corpses!"

Li Hao made a generous statement, which made them stunned for a while. Seeing that he had made up his mind, the three of them had no choice but to give up. They reminded him to pay attention to his words after the interview, and not to say the wrong thing. Li Hao thanked him and brought him They walked out together, sent them back first, and then went to the Tai Chi Palace to ask for a face saint.

It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and Li Shimin had just gone for a walk in the garden and reviewed the memorials in the Manna Palace, when he heard that Li Hao was asking for an audience, he hurriedly announced Li Hao's audience.

Li Hao came all the way to Ganlu Hall and stood in the center of the hall to salute. Li Shimin put down his pen with a smile, spread his hands and said: "Poet madness is exempt from ceremony. Poet madman always faces the saint for nothing, and he has something to do when he meets the saint. This time I come to see you." I, what's the matter?"

Li Hao cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I want to discuss with Your Majesty about the canonization of Nanzhao King this time."

"Huh?" Li Shimin frowned slightly when he heard the words, and said, "This morning, I have agreed to be the king of Nanzhao, why are you still here to discuss?"

Li Haodao: "Your Majesty, the minister did not go to court today and missed the meeting. Please forgive me. The matter of canonizing Nanzhao King, please postpone it for now."

Li Shimin was taken aback when he heard the words. Li Hao's proposal was a bit unexpected. In Li Shimin's opinion, Meng Xinuluo, king of Nanzhao, was loyal to the Tang Dynasty and should be canonized, but Li Hao wanted to postpone the canonization. He didn't understand, so He asked: "Why do you have to postpone it? Shi Kuang, if you have something to say, just say it. Is it wrong to be canonized as King of Nanzhao?"

"Return to Your Majesty, it is indeed inappropriate."

"Oh?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Hao roughly repeated what he said to Li Ji and the others at home, and Li Shimin said slowly after hearing this: "According to what you said, then there can't be any vassals around my Tang Dynasty?"

"It is true." Li Hao said seriously, "How can we allow others to sleep soundly by the side of the couch. People of later generations may not inherit the ambitions of their ancestors. The future is really unpredictable. All we can do is to plan ahead and eliminate The surrounding barbarians left a stable and peaceful country for future generations."

Li Shimin said leisurely: "There is a saying in "Mencius" that people live in sorrow and die in peace. It is not necessarily a good thing to blindly leave a comfortable and peaceful country for future generations. People are most afraid of leisure. Once you enjoy yourself, hehe, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. If the king is corrupt, the state affairs will collapse. Do you agree with my words?"

Li Hao was stunned when he heard the words. What Li Shimin said really made some sense. It was like raising a child, blindly pampering the child like a flower in the greenhouse. Then the child will grow up and be less able to deal with things in the future, because He has never experienced hardship, and he is not used to it. No matter how bad the family situation is, he will not be considerate of his parents.

Li Hao nodded: "Your Majesty taught me that."

Li Shimin continued with a smile: "Poet Maniac, do you still remember hunting back then?"

Li Hao nodded: "Of course I remember."

Li Shimin walked down the high platform and walked slowly: "Before hunting, I will send people to clear the forest and enclose the prey. Why do we clean the forest? It is to clear all the tigers and wolves inside so as not to hurt people. As for those sheep, deer, Jackals and the like are left to hunt and practice archery for the young princes, can you... understand?"

"I understand." Li Hao nodded and said, "Tubo is a tiger and a wolf, while Nanzhao is just a wild goat or a sika deer."

"It's easy to talk to a smart person, haha." Li Shimin laughed and said, "Besides, I have already agreed to the Nanzhao envoy this morning, and canonized Mengxi Nuluo. How can I go back on my word and ignore the royal prestige? How is it different from a villain?"

Li Hao lowered his head slightly: "It's because I didn't think about it, Your Majesty forgive me."

"I don't blame you." Li Shimin stepped forward and patted Li Hao's shoulder with a smile, and said, "I have made a decision on this matter, and it is impossible to change it. You still have the courage to speak out. I saw a heart that cares about the country and the people." My heart is very comforting."

Li Hao bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I am so ashamed that I failed to consider Zhou Xiang this time."

Li Shimin smiled and said: "You can give good advice every time, I really think you are a god, haha, it's a rare time, I think more than you Zhou Xiang, it's rare and rare."

It can be seen that Li Shimin is very happy. He is really happy to be able to compare Li Hao once. Li Hao also has to admire these politicians. In fact, Li Hao has always avoided politics in the court. This is why he There are few reasons why he goes to court. When he goes to court, he always talks about facts and development, because he himself is not interested in politics. Not on these old politicians.

Li Hao chatted with Li Shimin for a while before resigning. When he was about to reach Yanxi Gate, he saw a group of people wearing ordinary clothes coming out of the East Palace from a distance and heading towards Yanxi Gate. Their steps were hurried, and they took a closer look. The person who walked in the front was actually Li Zhi.

Li Hao suddenly felt curious, it was getting dark, why was Li Zhi dressed like this, he rolled his eyes, and immediately thought of a possibility.

During this period of time, Chen Song would quietly report to him about Li Zhi's current situation every other month. Recently, Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang from Ganye Temple are dating online. The suffering is equivalent to online dating in the future world. Judging from Li Zhi's current behavior, it seems that he is going on a secret date with Wu Meiniang.

Li Hao said to the followers behind him, "Who brought the night clothes?"

All the attendants took out their bags and each took out a set of night clothes. Li Hao took a set casually and stuffed it into his arms, saying: "This king has something else to do. Later, Fox Li will follow me. The others will go home first."

"Yes!" All the followers responded in unison.

Li Hao followed behind Li Zhi unhurriedly, walked out of the Yanxi Gate, and saw Li Zhi heading straight for the city gate, this guy really wanted to leave the city.

Li Hao did not guess wrong. After leaving the city, Li Zhi headed north all the way to Ganye Temple.

It was only five miles away, and it was getting dark. Li Hao changed clothes while running, and his movements were still very nimble. When he reached the foot of the mountain, Li Hao hid by the big tree and watched Li Zhi and the others climb the mountain. Li Fox beside him said, "You wait for me at the foot of the mountain."

"Yes!" Li Fox replied in a low voice.

When the people in front had all climbed the hill, Li Hao also started to climb up. The hill was very low, only a few hundred meters high, and it was easy to climb. There are a lot of secret posts hidden, and these are all Li Zhi's guards. Fortunately, Li Zhi didn't dare to disturb anyone when he left the palace this time. He only brought a dozen or so guards with him. Say nothing.

Li Hao quickly sneaked into the Ganye Temple, leaped over the roof, and finally stopped on the roof of Wu Meiniang's Zen house.

When Li Hao came to the roof of Wu Meiniang's room, Li Zhi had just entered the room. After all, Li Hao's speed was too fast, and it took Li Zhi a while to come over.

Li Hao quietly lifted a tile, only to see Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi hugging each other tightly, Wu Meiniang whispered like a whisper: "Your Highness, Your Highness..."

"Meiniang, I miss you so much that I'm going crazy."

"Your Highness, Meiniang is also..." Wu Meiniang's eyes were full of tears, and the pear blossoms were raining.

Then the two kissed together, the kind of passionate kiss with tongues intertwined.

Li Hao nodded slowly while watching, and thought to himself: "Well, I will try this kind of wet kiss with my daughters-in-law in the future."

Slowly, Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang swayed to the bedside, Li Zhi began to take off Wu Meiniang's monk robe, Wu Meiniang exclaimed: "Your Highness, don't..."

Her mouth was kissed by Li Zhi again, and her monk robe was unbuttoned, revealing her bright red bellyband and big white legs like lotus roots.
