Chapter 524: The Emperor's Changing Face

Three months later, the crisis of the Tang Dynasty finally passed, and the two states of Youji, the Khitan army allied with the countries, was defeated by Li Shimin with an overwhelming victory, and the Khitan royal court was forced to move north, fought a fierce battle with the Murwei State, and captured a small piece of land to recuperate.

The vitality of the country was greatly damaged, and he sent envoys to sue for peace with the Tang Dynasty, willing to cede land and pay compensation in order to ask for forgiveness.

In this battle, Silla Goryeo almost wiped out all the living forces of the army, and in the end there was no strength left, so he could only bow down to the Tang Dynasty and be willing to call it a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

In this battle alone, Datang became the ultimate beneficiary.

Seeing that the war at the border had subsided, Li Shimin handled everything in the two states, and then returned to the court.

It was supposed to be such a major victory, and it stands to reason that we should be happy. But along the way, Li Shimin's face was pitch black, and there seemed to be great anger hidden in his heart, so that the accompanying princes did not dare to talk at will.

Everyone knew why he was angry, and they didn't know how to persuade him, what Li Hao did this time was a little too much.

He deliberately deceived Li Shimin out of Chang'an, and then used Chang'an as bait to fish out the King of Hadesaro hidden in the dark.

Although the final result was tried, Li Hao defeated the King of Hadesaro and Jieli Khan with the Linghui army, and the Tang Dynasty did not lose an inch of land, and also extended the border line to the north for twenty miles. But as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the king of eternity, how can Li Shimin tolerate such a big gamble with the Tang Dynasty foundation as a bet?

If you don't go back this time, what kind of conflicts and quarrels will break out between the kings of these two countries!

Sure enough, after Li Shiming returned to Chang'an, he didn't even have time to reward the three armies, so he rushed straight into the imperial study.

In order to avoid the resurgence of the Turkic army, Li Hao has stayed in Chang'an City for the past three months, planning a war with Li Mingda. The Imperial Study is where he frequents the most.

On that day, everything was quiet in the Chang'an Palace, and the air was terrifyingly oppressive. The attendants and palace maids were careful in their work, and they didn't dare to make any noise.

In the Imperial Study.

Li Shiming sat on the main seat, put his hands on his knees, glared at Li Hao with a pair of angry eyes, and didn't say a word for a long time.

Li Hao felt ashamed in his heart, his momentum was weakened at the beginning, and he was also a little overwhelmed at the moment, scratching his head in embarrassment.

"Li Hao, Xiao Li, Lord Zhen'an, you are really Kong Ming in the world, and you are a decisive victory! I didn't expect to even lie to me! ”

Li Shimin's words were angry, and he shouted lightly.

Li Haoqiang smiled to himself: "Why did Lao Li say this, although I lied to you, at least the result is still good, isn't it?" ”

"Fart!" Li Shimin, who has always been elegant, said a foul word when he came out of his mouth, which shows how angry he has become. can force him to be like this, looking at the four seas, maybe only Li Hao can sit alone, even Wei Zheng sighed to himself.

"Li Hao, you still dare to smile with me! How much blood and sweat did my predecessor fight back? You used it as a bet to gamble with the Turks, and you didn't think about what would happen if you miscalculated? ”

Li Hao couldn't fight back when he was scolded, so he could only bow his head helplessly.

Li Shiming continued: "I took over the throne from the hands of the former emperor, and over the years, I have worked hard every day, dreaming of sleep, and trying my best to govern the country, for fear that there will be something wrong, just because I am worried that I have even half of the casualness and have failed the entrustment of my ancestors. It's good that you dare to do such audacity in order to force out the king of Hades, but do you take me seriously! ”

"Your Majesty, don't be angry, the prince is also thinking about the Tang Dynasty and the Li Kingdom. You're out of gas! ”

Guanyinnu stood beside Li Shimin, patting him on the back and comforting him.

Li Shimin was in a big rage at the moment, it was useless to persuade anyone, and pointed at Li Mingda and scolded: "And you, an unfilial daughter, when I was driving the imperial expedition, I was willing to risk the disapproval of the world and educate you to deal with the affairs of the DPRK and China, how did you promise me at that time?" ”

"Li Hao, this kid is crazy, why are you messing around with him? If the Turks do not act according to your plan, I am afraid that you and I will not see each other in this life. That's how you helped me govern Datang! ”

"Your Majesty, this matter started because of me, and the Linghui Army also obeyed my command, Mingda has no choice, everything is to blame on me, please don't blame Mingda!"

Li Hao stepped forward and said.

"Presumptuous, I educate my daughter, what does it have to do with you, I haven't finished your question yet!"

The surrounding ministers saw that the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger and stronger, and they felt more and more bad in their hearts.

Li Hao is originally a violent temper, and the reason why he has repeatedly endured it is all for Li Mingda's face. Now Li Shimin is still mad because Datang is blocked. If it goes on like this, if Li Hao is really provoked, these two stubbornness will collide together, and I don't know what sparks will happen.

"Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling hurriedly walked out and wanted to intercede for Li Hao.

But when he saw Li Shimin squinting his eyes, Fang Xuanling immediately became dumbfounded, and he couldn't say a word.

But fortunately, although Li Shimin was angry and lost his mind, he was still as calm as ever.

"Your Majesty, have you finished scolding? If you're done scolding, can you listen to me? ”

Li Shimin snorted coldly: "What else do you have to say." ”

Li Hao spread his hands: "In the darkness deep in the depths of the King of Hades, he is insidious and cunning, and he is wise and close to demons. It would be extremely detrimental to us to maintain this form of darkness and darkness. That's why I came up with this strategy to deal with them. It's a bit risky, but the ending is good, isn't it? I missed a step this time, and I didn't capture King Hadesaro alive, but I seized something from him, please take a look, Lao Li! ”

As he spoke, Li Hao took out the wolf god mask from his arms and put it on the desk in front of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin didn't have the heart to look at any loot, and muttered in his mouth: "Even if it's a treasure of heaven and earth, it's not a reason for you to bet on Datang......

Before he finished speaking, Li Shimin's gaze fell on the wolf god mask, and he couldn't help but tremble, his eyes widened.

"Wolf...... Wolf God Mask! This is the ninth gift of the emperor of the Turkic country to the famous old king clan, the mask of the wolf god! ”

Li Hao spread his hands: "I don't know what the Langsheng mask is, but this thing is indeed what I took off from the face of the King of Hades!" ”

Li Shimin was stunned in place, and after a long time, he suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, Xiao Li, Xiao Li, you are worthy of the prince of Zhen'an, you really strategized and won a thousand miles, and under this kind of crisis, you defeated the king of Hadesaro, and you deserve to be the savior of my Tang Dynasty!"

"Ah......h

A kind of courtiers around saw Li Shimin's face change, and they didn't know how to deal with it.

A moment ago, he was insulted, and he wanted to cut off relations with Li Hao, why did he start praising him as a savior now?

The emperor's change of face is more difficult to deal with than ordinary people.

Li Hao laughed: "So, Lao Li, don't you blame me?" ”

Li Shimin waved his hand indifferently: "The stakes are a little bigger, but Lord Wang, you are in such a desperate situation and have won such a big gamble, how can I blame you!" ”

The Wolf King Mask is an artifact used by the Turkic emperors to worship the gods. It is a great shame for the Turks to take away such a thing by others. For Datang, it is a great encouragement.

With the wolf god mask in hand, there are many things that can be done in the back, why is Li Shimin embarrassed to blame Li Hao?
