Chapter 698 Chapter 717: Please help Li Hao

"Speak! Why don't you speak!" Li Shimin stared at Li Hao and urged him.

Li Hao cupped his hands and smiled, and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't say a word, and I didn't mean to refute Your Majesty."

"Oh? Then you agree?" Li Shimin looked at Li Hao.

"Forehead……"

Li Hao is here again.

"Bastard!" Li Shimin slapped the table suddenly, pointed at Li Hao angrily, and said, "You still deny it, but as soon as you poke your butt, I know what shit you are going to do. You clearly disagree!"

Li Hao simply stopped going around in circles with him, and nodded slowly: "Your Majesty, forgive me for saying something boldly, maybe now is not the best time to attack Tubo."

Li Shimin was not happy, he stared and spread his hands and said, "Say it well, I want to hear it, what's your opinion!"

"It's not a good idea." Li Hao smiled lightly, and cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, Songtsan Gampo has been ill in bed for a long time. During this time, he has no ability to handle the government affairs. All the government affairs in the court are governed by the Prime Minister of Tubo. The control of the Garqin Mausoleum and Songtsan Gampo's journey to the immortals will indeed cause chaos in Tubo, but with the talent of the Garqin Mausoleum, within 20 days, everything in Tubo can be restored."

Li Shimin frowned when he heard the words, thoughtfully, after a long time, he asked in a deep voice: "Garqin Mausoleum is the son of Lu Dongzan, right?"

"Return to Your Majesty, that's right."

Li Shimin asked again: "How does this Galqin Mausoleum compare with his father's?"

Li Hao said: "Return to Your Majesty, the talent of Garqin Mausoleum is no longer inferior to that of his father."

Li Shimin frowned immediately when he heard this, and asked after a while: "How does he compare with you?"

The corner of Li Hao's mouth raised, and he smiled confidently: "Compared to my minister...he is far behind."

Li Hao's words are very pretentious. In fact, in terms of political talent, Li Hao is not as good as Garqinling, but in terms of comprehensive ability, Garqinling is really far behind Li Hao. After all, Li Hao is a An open traveler.

"Haha! Good!" Li Shimin laughed heartily when he heard the words, "Since the Garqin Mausoleum is far behind you, there is nothing to worry about. You will lead the army to destroy Tubo for me!"

Li Hao cupped his hands again and said, "Your Majesty, Luoxi City is located on a plateau, and the air is thin. If ordinary people go to the plateau rashly, they will definitely suffer from altitude sickness. These ministers have told you before, so I suggest that your majesty occupy the area near Qinghai. In the semi-plateau area, the Qinghai Guard was established, but the Qinghai Guard has only 20 soldiers, and Tubo has at least 20 soldiers and horses. Your Majesty asked the ministers to use [-] soldiers and horses to fight [-]. It seems a bit... huh..."

"You want to say that I am strong, right?" Li Shimin looked at Li Hao with a smile.

Li Hao didn't answer, just laughed, which was a tacit agreement.

Li Shimin said: "I have thought about this a long time ago. When Songtsan Gampo was critically ill, I started to prepare. Two months ago, I added 20 troops to the Qinghai Guard, making a total of [-] troops. The army was mobilized, and the strength of the troops was lost. I can only give so much at most. Didn’t the Western Turks have more than [-] soldiers back then? Fan Lihua, the Duke of Lantian County, led [-] troops and wiped out the Western Turks. Are you Li Shikuang? Not as good as Fan Lihua?"

Li Hao really wants to haha ​​again, is the account calculated like this, can Western Turks compare with Tubo, Tubo is safely in the snow-covered plateau, except for the Tang Dynasty, there are almost no enemies, and Western Turks are fighting everywhere, nearly 15 Wan's troops were restrained by the Persian Dashi and other countries in the west. How does it compare with Tubo?

But Li Hao couldn't say anything more, he could only lower his eyebrows and keep silent.

As soon as Li Hao was silent, Li Shimin became unhappy. He wanted to attack the Western Turks, but Li Hao seemed not interested in it. How could this work?

Li Hao was thinking: You want to fight against Tubo, right? It’s easy to handle. Please, if you want me to help you, you have to have a begging attitude. You can compare Fan Lihua with me. This kind of other people’s children are the best. I have heard a lot of tricks since I was a child, and these are the most annoying, and my ears are callused.

Li Hao still intends to help Li Shimin, but so far, Li Shimin's arrogant attitude has made Li Hao very uncomfortable, so if he asks for help, his attitude must be lowered.

Li Shimin seemed to be aware of this, and said slowly, "Poetry Man, how old are you this year?"

Li Hao said: "Return to Your Majesty, I will be standing at thirty this year."

"You're already thirty!" Li Shimin was slightly startled when he heard the words, and muttered to himself, "You're already thirty, you're already thirty..."

Because Li Hao looks young, and his words and deeds are erratic, not very stable, he doesn't look like a 30-year-old at all, so Li Shimin didn't realize that Li Hao was so old at all.

"So fast, so fast, I especially remember that when you first met me, you were only 14 years old. At that time, you were... so small, so short..." Li Shimin sighed softly with tender eyes , "Time flies too fast, it has been 16 years in a blink of an eye, you have grown up, and I am also old, it's too late..."

Li Shimin was immersed in the emotion of recalling the past. Li Hao didn't want to disturb him, so he listened to him quietly, and only listened to him continue: "Cao Mengde has a poem saying that the martyr is full of ambition in his old age, but I have no ambition when I am old. After I die, let the Tang Dynasty continue in a stable manner. Tubo is the biggest hidden danger on my side of the Tang Dynasty. Thoughts?"

Li Hao nodded and said, "I can understand."

"You won't understand." Li Shimin slowly stepped down from the throne and walked up to Li Hao. Li Hao hurriedly stood up, only to hear Li Shimin pacing and sighing with his hands behind his back, "Since the beginning of summer, my heart disease has flared up again. Oh, this time it’s worse than before. It only happened once in May, twice in June, three times in July, five times in August, and this September...it’s the 25th today, and it’s already happened six times. ...I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this test." At the end of his speech, he suddenly turned around and looked at Li Hao, with a thousand words in his eyes.

Li Hao sighed helplessly, and could only follow the normal routine, clasped his hands and said in a long voice: "I pray to God, I wish Your Majesty a long life and good health!"

"Don't tell me these stereotypes, you know that's not what I want!" Li Shimin waved his hand suddenly, strode up to Li Hao, and said in a cadence, "Every time a heart attack occurs, life is worse than death. , I really wanted to end myself with a knife, but I didn't. It's not that I was afraid of death, but that I was unwilling, because I haven't seen Tubo perish with my own eyes! I want you to help me destroy Tubo, this is the last time in my life May, you...can you help me?" At the end of the speech, he fixed his eyes on Li Hao, with endless helplessness and sadness in his fiery eyes.

Well, Li Shimin is Li Shimin, he is used to being a high-ranking person, and even asks for help with such a suspenseful attitude, but I have to say, his generous statement is still very sensational, Li Hao was almost moved, but fortunately, he himself He is also a master of acting skills, and he was not fooled by Li Shimin. The sincere and begging attitude he was expecting did not appear. Just take pity on him and help him as hard as you can, we are generous people.

So Li Hao cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to help His Majesty fulfill his great wish."

"Okay!" Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said a little excitedly, "If you want to send troops to Tubo, there will be a lot of resistance. The court is full of opposition. This matter has been discussed for half a month, and it has not yet been decided. In early October I will discuss this matter again at the court meeting, and you will help me persuade the ministers to send troops to Tubo."

Li Hao frowned when he heard the words, and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I don't have the ability to persuade the ministers."

"Don't be humble, I know you can do it." Li Shimin said with a smile, "You have fought against the officials many times in the court, and the officials were speechless. I see it every time. .”

Li Hao said with a dry smile: "Your Majesty, those things are due to the fact that I have reason, so I can argue with reason and win them..."

"Huh?" Li Shimin frowned when he heard the words, and asked with a stern face, "You mean I don't care about sending troops?"

"Absolutely not." Li Hao opened his eyes and said nonsense, "For the matter of sending troops, both sides have half the reason, but I am alone, how can I compete with dozens of people, Rong Chen asks again, Mr. Changsun What do you think of this matter?"

"Alas..." As soon as Changsun Wuji was mentioned, Li Shimin sighed, "This time, even the auxiliary machine is not on my side, and is against me with all the officials."

Li Hao shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "Your Majesty, forgive me for saying something boldly, you seem to be hiring someone else!"

"Fart!" Li Shimin glared at him, and said angrily, "Is there anyone in Manchaotang better than you?"
