"Then I don't know which one is the princess's bedroom?" Li Hao asked seemingly casually.

"This is the princess's bedroom." Wan Quan pointed to one of the most gorgeous bedrooms and said. Li Hao hurriedly unleashed his soul power, and after a while, he found that there was a girl in the room who was pondering.

"Yu'er, it won't be long before I get you back." Li Hao thought to himself.

"His Majesty Li Hao is waiting for you in the study." Wanquan continued.

"Your Majesty, Young Man Li Hao is here." Wan Quan called softly, for fear that it would make a noise like His Majesty Youlan.

"Come in!" A weak voice came out of the study, and from the voice, you could hear how sad His Majesty Youlan was now.

"Yes!" Wan Quan responded softly, then turned to Li Hao and said, "Li Hao, young man, please!" ”

"Squeak." The sound was gently pushed away by Wanquan. Li Hao followed Wanquan and walked in gently.

After walking in the door, Li Hao was still a little nervous or excited, the last time he only saw the outline of His Majesty Youlan from a distance in the air, he didn't see his appearance clearly at all, and now he was in close contact with Li Hao really looking forward to seeing His Majesty of the Youlan Empire and Jiang Tingting's father.

"Your Majesty." Wan Quan screamed softly. After approaching, Li Hao saw the appearance of His Majesty Youlan clearly, and then Li Hao found that His Majesty of the Youlan Empire was so kind, so kind, and of course exuded a domineering spirit, but that domineering aura was somewhat faded in the current environment.

Now His Majesty Youlan is full of sorrow and vicissitudes on his face, sometimes it is not necessarily age that makes people old, but also experience. And often experience more vicissitudes of life.

"Your Majesty." Li Hao also called out, Li Hao's expression was very serious, I have to say that Li Hao still admires His Majesty Youlan very much.

"You are Li Hao?" His Majesty Youlan turned his head to look at Li Hao and asked. His Majesty Youlan's expression was full of kindness when he looked at Li Hao, but he really wanted a father to look at his children's expressions.

Feeling the kind gaze of His Majesty Youlan Li Hao had a deep feeling of happiness, he thought of his father, and now it has been two years since he left home, and Li Hao has only gone back once in these four years. Now Li Hao misses his family very much, especially his father.

"It's the junior." Li Hao said respectfully. This kind of reverence is not only reverence, but also respect.

"Well, yes, it's really a talent." His Majesty Youlan nodded with satisfaction, "I don't know who your father is?" "His Majesty Youlan also asked from here.

"Back to Your Majesty, Li Hao is the Li family, Li Tianhou." Wan Quan answered first.

"The Li family? I really didn't expect that it would be a descendant of Li Tian, the founder of the country. His Majesty Youlan continued: "However, the Li family was suppressed by other families after Li Tian and left the imperial capital, and then I haven't heard much about it. Speaking of which, His Majesty Youlan was also a little regretful, "But now that there are excellent descendants like you, it is just around the corner to revitalize the family." ”

"Your Majesty praises me." Li Hao said modestly. It is of course the greatest honor to be praised by His Majesty, but it must not be proud of it.

"I don't know what the situation of the Li family is now?" His Majesty Youlan continued to ask.

"Back to Your Majesty, my father is the current patriarch, and he is leading the family to entrench in a small town." Li Hao replied truthfully.

"I've really wronged you, if it's convenient, let the Li family move to the imperial capital." His Majesty Youlan said lightly. Although His Majesty Youlan said it was more casual, but it changed the fate of a family, His Majesty Youlan did this, it was obviously a trivial matter, but it made Li Hao remember his favor, Li Hao is not a fool, of course he knows that this love is not good, but for the sake of the family, Li Hao can only fight with all his strength.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Hao hurriedly thanked him.

"In that case, then I'll leave this matter to you." His Majesty Youlan continued: "Li Hao, I don't know what your plans are in the future? "His Majesty Youlan has finally changed the topic, and it seems that he is about to get to the point.

"Li Hao is just a commoner, thanks to the teachings of his family teacher, he has this strength. The tutor has always taught Li Hao that a good boy must protect his family and defend the country. So now seeing the rebels rising around, Li Hao naturally wants to stop them, although Li Hao knows that his strength is insignificant, but he also wants to do a little bit. Li Hao said modestly, Li Hao only briefly mentioned Piaoyun's matter but didn't want to expose Piaoyun's identity, because he knew that his sect was very secretive.

"And what about after the war?" His Majesty Youlan continued to ask.

"After the war, Li Hao is naturally still Li Hao." Li Hao replied flatly, Li Hao's meaning was already obvious, he didn't want to play the crown and enter the knighthood, he defended the empire, in addition to really wanting to drive out the rebels, the most important thing was because this was the task that Piaoyun gave him, so he wanted to continue to cultivate with Piaoyun after completing the task, he didn't want to affect his cultivation because of the world.

"Haven't you thought about being knighted?" This time, His Majesty Youlan said straightforwardly.

Li Hao never thought about this, Li Hao just wanted to follow his family teacher to practice around after the war. This is Li Hao's expectation. Li Hao replied truthfully.

"Do you have the confidence to defeat the rebellion?" His Majesty Youlan seemed to be really anxious, and he would ask Li Hao directly if he said this.

"Li Hao is not sure, he can only say that he is trying his best." Li Hao's answer is quite real, after all, no one dares to guarantee this kind of thing.

"Well, that's true." His Majesty Youlan shook his head helplessly and said, "It would be good if the national teacher was there." With the strong strength of the national teacher, it is not impossible to retreat from the enemy with the strength of one person, but the national teacher has other things to do, and when the national teacher left, he said that his disciples could help me, but I don't know when he will be able to appear. ”

"National teacher? Drifting clouds? "Li Hao's first big one" It turns out that the teacher is the national teacher of the empire, and the teacher is really not there at this time as the national teacher of the empire, but looking at His Majesty's appearance, I don't know that I am the teacher's first son. Li Hao secretly thought to himself: "Since Your Majesty doesn't know, then I don't need to say it, let's talk about it when I have the opportunity." Li Hao secretly decided not to tell His Majesty Youlan his identity.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, as long as Li Hao is there, he will definitely not let the rebels step into the imperial capital for half a step." Li Hao said solemnly: "Your Majesty, don't you remember that a good man defends his family and the country?" ”

"A good man to protect his family and defend the country!" His Majesty Youlan suddenly came, "What a good man to protect his family and defend the country, it turns out that the person who was above the city that day was you." How I didn't think of it at the time. ”

"Li Haozhen likes you very much. Why don't you be my righteous son? His Majesty Youlan suddenly said it, or this is the real purpose of His Majesty Youlan, as long as Li Hao can be his righteous son, he can do his best to protect the empire for him. Of course, this is a good thing for Li Hao, let's not talk about the position of this prince, let's just say that His Majesty Youlan himself does not have a prince, and after His Majesty Youlan abdicates, Li Hao will be the rightful heir.

If it were someone else, he would definitely agree directly, but Li Hao was different, his ambition was not here, and if he didn't do it, His Majesty Youlan would have no effect on him, and it could even be said that after becoming His Majesty Youlan, it would affect Li Hao's cultivation even more. Li Hao didn't want to be His Majesty Youlan.

Of course, it's not just these, His Majesty Youlan is not so easy to be, just imagine that if an outsider wants to be His Majesty Youlan, it is by no means so simple, and other people will definitely oppose it, so Li Hao will fall into a struggle for power. Li Hao is not that kind of person, how could Li Hao fight those scheming ministers.

The most important point is not these, the most important thing is that if Li Hao becomes His Majesty's prince, he will become Jiang Tingting's elder brother, and in that case, the relationship with Jiang Tingting will definitely not be that kind of relationship.

"Your Majesty, Li Hao doesn't have that kind of ambition, you still spare me!" Li Hao said with a smile. Li Hao's smile is not simple, this smile is completely a joke of His Majesty Youlan, so this is not against His Majesty's will.

"In that case, then I don't embarrass you, you say, if you have any requirements, as long as it's not too excessive, I will meet you." His Majesty Youlan continued, it can be said that there is no joke, as long as His Majesty Youlan says so, he will definitely try his best to be satisfied with you.

Now Li Haoke made a difficulty. Although Li Hao doesn't want to be crowned a knight, he definitely has requirements. I don't know if I should say this request, if I don't say it, I will definitely regret missing this opportunity, but if I say it, Li Hao can't afford it, so Li Hao is in trouble.

"What's wrong? Is there anything you dare not say? His Majesty Youlan looked at Li Hao's expression and asked curiously.

"I'm going to marry a princess!" Li Hao finally inspired the courage to say.

"Poof." His Majesty Youlan almost squirted, he never thought that Li Hao would make such a request, this is too bold and reckless, His Majesty asked him to make a request, he really dared to speak. If it were someone else, it is estimated that His Majesty would have been furious a long time ago.

"You go down first." His Majesty Youlan said with some anger: "Tomorrow morning, you will go to the Qiankun Hall with you." After finishing speaking, His Majesty Youlan turned around and ignored Li Hao no more.

Li Hao also knew that his request was excessive, and he could see that His Majesty Youlan was angry, but he really didn't want to miss this opportunity. If you miss it this time, I don't know if you will have a chance in the future.

"Young man Li Hao, let's go." Wanquan hurriedly reminded Li Hao to leave, he didn't want to see Li Hao make any more excessive demands.

Li Hao naturally knew that Wanquan's intentions did not continue. This time, it is all time to remind His Majesty that there is such a thing.

"Don't worry, Yu'er, I will do it." Li Hao thought to himself. Even if it doesn't succeed this time, Li Hao will definitely not give up, and after the rebellion is quelled, even if he robs Li Hao, he will snatch Jiang Tingting over.

"Civil and military officials enter the palace" There was a voice from the court, and the voice was made by none other than Wan Quan, who was both a minister and a close minister of His Majesty, but the Youlan Empire is not like some dynasties in history that will have more eunuchs, the close ministers of the Youlan Empire are all generals who have followed His Majesty to fight on the battlefield, although Wan Daren is old, but it is estimated that he still has the strength of a war king.

The hundred officials who had been waiting outside for a long time, including Li Hao, walked into the Qiankun Hall one after another after hearing the voice. "Your Majesty has arrived." Wan Quan said in a long tone, this kind of voice coincides with the traditional sense of the dynasty.

In Wanquan's voice, a majestic old man walked out slowly, although yesterday Li Hao looked at His Majesty Youlan was still relatively kind, but in front of the civil and military officials, His Majesty Youlan revealed a kind of domineering, a kind of majesty, this is the innate momentum of the emperor.

"Your Majesty is blessed!" The civil and military officials said in unison, this sentence is different from Long Live Your Majesty, Long Live Long Live, they don't have too many courtesies. Just a word of blessing.

"Since it's all here, I won't say much nonsense, do you know why I called you all back today?" His Majesty Youlan asked lightly, although there will be a court these days, there are definitely not so many people, and this time almost all the important ministers were called back, including Xiang Yingtian, who resisted Zhuo Ding.

"I don't know." The ministers replied in unison, that in their opinion, the most important thing now was to quell the rebellion, and it would certainly be inappropriate to call them all back, and that there was really nothing they could do if the enemy attacked them.

"Do you think that asking you to come back will affect the situation of the war?" Who is His Majesty Youlan, of course he can know what the important minister thinks, so he said very angrily: "Even if you are not called back, are you sure that you will defeat the enemy?" ”

"This ......" The ministers all lowered their heads when they heard His Majesty Youlan's words, they all knew their own situation, and it was already very good to be able to hold the enemy back for a while.

"I called you back today because Zhuo Ding and the four of them have come to the imperial capital, and they want to make peace with me, and they are threatening me." His Majesty Youlan said angrily.

"I wonder what they wanted?" One of the ministers asked with courage. Listening to His Majesty's words, you can know that the demands they put forward must be very demanding.

"Humph! They want to marry my princess. Do they really think I'm such a bully? "The more His Majesty Youlan said, the more angry they became, they not only wanted to marry the princess but also threatened, they challenged the imperial power again, if His Majesty promised them, they would defeat His Majesty, and more importantly, as long as they married the princess, they could justifiably become the Emperor of Youlan, without spending a single soldier.

But if His Majesty Youlan doesn't agree, they will use their iron cavalry to level the entire imperial capital, and then they will be even more alive.

"Marry my Yu'er?" Li Hao thought angrily: "It's really crazy about them." No wonder His Majesty didn't mention this to me yesterday, there was a reason. ”

"What do you think should be done?" His Majesty Youlan is also very hesitant, if he had made a decision a long time ago, he would not have called them back, besides, His Majesty Youlan understands these people, if he himself disagrees, some ministers will also have opinions, in their opinion, as long as they can avoid war, even if they sacrifice a princess, it is nothing.

"Of course not, let Weichen go back and transfer troops to kill the rebels without leaving a piece of armor." Xiang Yingtian was the first to say that he was the main battle faction, and he wanted to use his own strength to defeat the rebels, because it was also in his interests, as long as the rebels were knocked away, he would be able to get a reward and a seal.

But this is not in everyone's interest. "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this is impossible, it is better to promise them and solve the current crisis first, and wait until later to slowly weaken their strength." A white-bearded civil servant said. This person is the Prime Minister of the Empire, Lord Wen Cheng. (To be continued......)
