Li Shimin was also taken aback by Li Hao's remarks, if it weren't for the civil and military officials, he couldn't wait to immediately open Li Hao's skull to see what was in his head, and dare to say such a rebellious thing!

There were 5,000 guests and 300 horses. Although this number is not much, but so many private soldiers are stationed near Chang'an, everyone will think that Li Hao is going to rebel, so don't you throw out the handle to the Manchu Dynasty civil and military arrest?

Before coming, Li Shimin had already thought about it, Li Hao must not lose this talent, as long as the civil and military officials did not come up with conclusive evidence, even if Li Hao opened his eyes and said nonsense, he insisted that he had not recruited soldiers. Li Shimin desperately offended the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and wanted to save him.

It's good now, he didn't say a word of rebuttal, he cleaned up his family, even if Li Shimin wanted to help him, he didn't know how to help.

was extremely anxious in his heart, but Li Shimin was uneasy, and his face was still calm and calm.

"Li Hao, what do you want to do next to my Chang'an Imperial Capital?" Although the words were flat, the tone was already a little dissatisfied. He has to be like this at the moment, if Li Hao does such a rebellious thing, Li Shimin still blindly protects it, and this court will not be able to turn the sky upside down?

Li Hao arched his hand and smiled: "Your Excellency, what you said is good, Li Hao recruited thousands of soldiers, that is, the prodigal son's ambition is ill-intentioned, but have you forgotten your current situation?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" A third-rank captain frowned and asked.

Li Hao leaned on the back of the chair and cocked Erlang's legs: "Now the Tang Dynasty is surrounded by strong enemies, and there are Turkic Khitan in the north to disturb the border for many years; There are six edicts of Tubo in the west, and they are eyeing each other; In the east, there are Japanese pirates who have repeatedly violated the border. Do you feel like you can sit back and relax after just two days of life? ”

"How dare you forget that the strong enemies of the Tang Dynasty are waiting for us, but what does this have to do with your private recruitment? The surrounding former enemies have made us dare not take it lightly, and you have self-respecting troops in the hinterland of Chang'an, isn't it even more dangerous for us to wait? ”

"The good one is even more dangerous!" Li Hao interrupted him with a cold snort: "The independence of Li Jiazhuang is hand-picked by His Majesty, and there is no doubt about its reasonableness and legitimacy. My Lijiazhuang is adjacent to the party and the Turks in the north, and the situation is precarious. Party items aside, the Turks have just experienced a snowstorm and suffered heavy losses, and now that winter is coming. The Turkic Iron Cavalry has stationed troops on the border, and may move south at any time to disturb the peace of our Datang border. ”

"Lijiazhuang is my Tang Dynasty land, the Holy Heaven is mighty, give you a piece of land, and naturally protect you, if the Turkic barbarians go south, free my Tang Heavenly Soldiers lead the team to protect each other, when will it be your turn to defend yourself? Are you looking down on the majesty of my Tang Army? ”

"Lijiazhuang has become an independent country of its own, and the garrison of other countries is an invasion, which is something that only Khitan barbarians can do. Before Your Majesty has spoken, you dare to make a claim, don't you want to trap Your Majesty in injustice? Recklessly recklessly for your big dog guts! ”

Li Hao shot the case, and the sound was like a bell, and everyone present was immediately speechless.

This world is so wonderful, the so-called teacher is famous, and there must be a reasonable reason for doing many things. Sending troops to the borders of other countries without permission is called aggression and colonization at worst. Li Shimin is the Emperor of the World, how can he do such evil things?

The captain of the cavalry was covered with such a big hat by Li Hao, and his face immediately turned pale with fright, and he knelt down with a puff: "Your Majesty, the minister has no such intention, I hope Your Majesty will see it!" ”

"I know what you want, I don't need to say more, step down!" Li Shimin's face did not change, and he said indifferently.

As if he had been granted amnesty, he hurriedly stepped aside, not daring to speak again. The so-called too many words will be lost, if Li Hao catches any handle, I am afraid that Li Shimin will not be able to protect him no matter how merciful he is.

Li Hao was secretly happy in his heart, not disregarding Li Shimin's relationship with him for so long, their tacit understanding has reached the point where they can know their intentions without words and a look. Li Shimin doesn't say a word now, just sits like that, which is the biggest help to Li Hao, he can do whatever he wants, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces are hindered by the pressure of the emperor, and they have to consider three points when they speak and do things.

Striking while the iron is hot, Li Hao continued: "Everyone knows how I, Li Hao, am a person. I only ask the position, since I Li Hao came to Chang'an, everything I have done and every decision I have made, which one of them has harmed Datang Sheji, and which one is not beneficial to the development of Datang? ”

The ministers looked at each other, they recalled Li Hao's experience again, and it seemed that it was really as he said, since he appeared, the Tang Dynasty updated the law, reset the land system, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and lived a prosperous life, the Tang Dynasty army developed rapidly politically, and the national strength was thriving.

Although Li Hao is stubborn, he does things ruthlessly, and he has offended many people. But he really can't find fault with everything he does. Whether it was the snow disaster in previous years or the recent flood, he settled them one by one and did not leak.

The people's respect for him did not fall out of thin air.

Everyone was speechless, Li Hao turned to look at Li Shimin, and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, I, Li Hao, have always had a clear conscience in doing things, and since my Li Jiazhuang became independent, I have been protected and treated favorably by the Tang Dynasty. Our two families are a state of brothers whose blood is thicker than water, and Datang is now surrounded by strong enemies, how can I Lijiazhuang be in a safe corner and not help when I see danger? ”

"That's a good thing, what can you Li Jiazhuang do for Datang?" Seeing that Li Hao was about to convince the ministers, Li Su finally couldn't sit still and jumped out to contradict him.

"What is the strength of my Li Jiazhuang, I don't need the six princes to question it, I will recruit soldiers to build an army, the west can contain the party and Tubo, and the north can assist the Tang Heavenly Soldiers to deal with the Turkic iron cavalry, once the Tang Dynasty is disturbed by foreign enemies, my Li Jiazhuang will not stand idly by!"

"Hmph, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, what's the use of saying beautiful words, who knows what you really think? In case you are really a wolf and have the ambition to support the army and stand on your own, when the Turks go south and the Tang Heavenly Soldiers resist the enemy, you come to a backyard and start a fire, what should we do? ”

In the face of Li Su's rather offensive words, Li Hao did not get angry but laughed: "Sixth prince, you have time to hunt less and read more on weekdays, how can you be so kind to Your Majesty's kindness to your upbringing?" ”

"Presumptuous, Li Hao, you dare to insult this prince above the court!" Li Hao was furious and yelled at Li Hao.

Li Hao's face still did not change: "Zuo Chuan said: The auxiliary cars depend on each other, and the lips are dead and the teeth are cold." His Majesty will not give up, and now Lijiazhuang is in the Tang Dynasty within the border of the Hengtong business, and the people of Lijiazhuang live and work in peace and contentment, rich in food and clothing. On the contrary, many of the Turkic barbarians committed crimes, killing my people and slaughtering my friends. Why should we help them fight against Datang? ”

"Besides, I, Li Hao, was born as a businessman, even if I have different intentions, I won't do anything that harms the interests of Li Jiazhuang, right? Now that Lijiazhuang and Datang are in harmony and friendship, if Datang loses to the Turks, can they be as friendly as Datang with us? Could it be that the sixth prince thinks that I will put my current good life on the side, but I have to gamble on the credit of the Turkic barbarians? Don't you think it's ridiculous to say that? ”

Li Su was speechless, his face flushed, but he couldn't find any way to refute it.

Li Hao's tongue fought against the Confucians, and finally stabilized the situation temporarily, and now he is still a little bit hot. He glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, intentionally or unintentionally.

It's your turn!
