Kong Yingda said slowly: "When you go back to your Majesty, Fusang was originally a foreigner. He was not educated by our emperor, did not know etiquette, and his words and deeds may be offensive. It is understandable."

Kong Yingda is worthy of being a great scholar of his generation. He speaks really well. At least this sentence makes Li Shimin unable to refute it. Once he refutes it, it will make people feel that he, the Tian Khan, is too unconscious.

Fang Xuanling suddenly came out after hearing this and said, "I think Confucius said this is a bad thing to pay a speech to drink."

Li Shimin seemed to have seen the savior and hurriedly said, "Oh, what are the opinions of Fang Qing?"

Fang Xuanling said: "Go back to Your Majesty, I am a great power in the Tang Dynasty. There are many people coming to the court, but no one has ever been disrespectful to the Tang Dynasty like Fusang."

Kong Yingda immediately argued: "No, Fangpushe was wrong. Although the countries that came and went to the court also transformed into foreign people, most of them bordered by our Tang Dynasty, and some traded with us. They have gradually understood the etiquette of our Tang Dynasty. Fusang is far away from the East China Sea, hanging on an island in isolation, and knows almost nothing about our Tang Dynasty education."

Gui Liu and Ito were so moved that they heard Kong Yingda talking for them. They thought that there were still good people in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise they would be afraid that their bodies would be left in the Tang Dynasty and their heads would be sent back to China this time.

Fang Xuanling didn't know how to refute it. Seeing this, Li Shimin hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Okay, don't argue with you two. The matter of Japan's surrender, we will discuss it later."

Li Shimin ended the court discussion in one sentence. The ministers of all the major court left the Tai Chi Hall in groups and came out of Chengtian Gate.

Li Hao waited outside for a long time, and his nose was red. Finally, when they came out, everyone saw Li Hao and was surprised. Before Li Hao could speak, a group of people walked towards him. Moreover, the identities of these people were really amazing. Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong,... It seems that except for Li Jing, all the people who had dinner together at Qin Qiong's house last time surrounded him.

The other ministers were shocked, especially Kong Yingda. When he saw this scene, he was very confused. When did this bastard get to know the most awesome bosses in the court?

Changsun Wuji was the first to walk to Li Hao, and asked with a smile: "Shi Kuang, why are you here?"

"Hello, uncles, boy is polite." Li Hao saluted them and then replied, "You are here to ask, how did Your Majesty decide on the matter of Japan's surrender?"

Changsun Wuji was about to answer, but Cheng Yaojin took the lead and said, "Add to discuss it later."

Li Hao frowned when he heard this: "Why would he probate the post and discuss it?"

Cheng Yaojin's mouth was quick and said first: "It's not that old kidnapper Kong Yingda. We had already caught the pain of the Japanese envoy, but this old kidnapper jumped out to speak for the Japanese envoy, but he couldn't even defend him."

Fang Xuanling was embarrassed when he heard this, coughed lightly, and sighed helplessly: "We miscalculated, I believe His Majesty is not feeling well at this moment."

Changsun Wuji said, "Don't worry, no matter how good Kong Yingda's eloquence is, it cannot change His Majesty's will. The matter of Japan's surrender cannot be accomplished."

"It seems that..." Fang Xuanling frowned, "The reduction of tribute rewards and restriction of craft teaching cannot be mentioned for the time being, otherwise a corrupt scholar like Kong Yingda would definitely oppose it."

Qin Qiong frowned and said, "So what if he objected, as long as His Majesty supports it."

Changsun Wuji waved his hand and said, "Brother Shubao, things are not as simple as you think. Kong Yingda and the others will definitely force Your Majesty on the grounds of justice. Your Majesty is respected as the Khan of the foreign countries and cares more about fame than us. This is because Kong Yingda has been pinned to the vital point."

Li Hao listened silently and didn't say anything because he knew that this was a political matter, and it was an act of inquiry by himself that he could never make any remarks. Although Li Shimin had responded to him about this matter, he was not a person in the court after all, and his reputation was not right. Even if Li Shimin did not blame him, he would not want to give him a lesson.

Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling had a good analysis. If no one could argue with Kong Yingda and occupy the righteousness, then this matter would be difficult to execute. Although Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were talented, they were bound by the times and could not argue with Kong Yingda in this matter. Unless Li Hao appeared, Li Hao only held a noble title, had no official position, and could not attend court, so he could only temporarily stand at this time.

Li Hao was a little depressed. Fortunately, he was eighteen after the New Year. In this era, 18 years old is a watershed. Even if he got married before the age of eighteen, it was difficult to be regarded as an adult. However, after the age of eighteen, he would be an adult. By then, Li Hao would have no many constraints and could do a lot of things.

After saying goodbye to the big guys, Li Hao and Lu Yun went to Taibai Building in West City because he made an appointment with Du Hong to meet at Taibai Building.

When we arrived at Taibai Building, Du Hong had arrived for a while and even the dining table was ready.

Li Hao asked Lu Yun and Du Hong to sit down and have dinner with him, and then talked about buying a house. Du Hong came one by one. He had already gone to Yashang to take a look. He had a crush on the storefronts of the two families and could not decide for a moment. He wanted Li Hao to go and see it in person.

Li Hao nodded and agreed. After lunch and rested for a while, he went to see the store with him.

Both stores are good, of moderate size, divided into two floors. There is a store on Zhuque Street. Li Hao was so happy that this is a powerful street, not far from Tai Chi Palace. Li Hao decided to choose this store and then went home to draw decoration drawings.

Ten days later, the store was renovated and Li Hao introduced all the mirrors and glass products into the store. The store was named Qibaozhai. The store was handled by his cheap father-in-law Tu. The price of everything inside was set by Li Hao, and the price was clearly marked, which was extremely expensive.

A pair of mirrors the size of a palm is 99 silos. Even the smallest mirror is 49 silos. The largest mirror is 998 silos. As for some other glass wine glasses and glass decorative bottles, the price is also quite expensive. An ordinary round glass wine glass is 199 silos, a square glass is 299 silos, and a goblet is 399 silos.

When all customers came in, they were amazed when they saw such exquisite glass products and mirrors, and they took a deep breath after seeing the price.

Although the price of glass products scared away a large number of customers, there were still many rich people in the Tang Dynasty, especially Chang'an, which was simply a concentration camp for the powerful. From time to time, guests would look at a mirror or a glass cup, pay a deposit of more than ten cents, and then go home to withdraw money.

Although it was the first day of opening, Li Hao did not come forward. He had been drinking tea on the second floor of the teahouse opposite, looking at his store through the window. He waited until it was almost closed in the evening, and then came to the store to ask his father-in-law to close, and then started counting the money.

There was too much money, and it had piled up into hills, including copper coins, silver, and even gold cakes. It took half an hour to count them, and a total of 6,500 jin was earned. Everyone was not surprised to hear this number, because when they saw the gold and silver like that of the hill, they were already shocked and numb.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a daily profit of gold. Li Hao was a little worried. Although this is Chang'an, under the feet of the emperor, there will definitely be people who make money in such a business. He regrets that he shouldn't have done this business alone. Although it is very profitable, the money seems to be a little uneasy.

He thought for a long time and finally made up his mind to attract a heavyweight partner. Who is the most powerful person in the world? It must be Li Shimin. Well, let's work with Li Shimin this time, no one is willing to be unable to get along with the money.

So, Li Hao came outside the Tai Chi Palace in the middle of the night and asked to meet the saint.

Li Shimin reviewed the memorial for a day outside the Ganlu Hall, and finally had a rest for a while and started having supper. Suddenly, Jinwu Guard came to report and Li Hao asked to meet the saint.

Li Shimin didn't even think about it: "Xuan!"

Li Hao, led by Jinwu Guard, came down to the outside of Ganlu Hall, and put on some clothes and entered the hall. He found Li Shimin having dinner on the Long Case, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "I took the liberty to ask for a meeting and disturbed Your Majesty's meal. I am guilty of this."

"Shimakuai calms down." Li Shimin was in a good mood. After Li Hao stood up, he asked, "Shimakuai, have you used supper?"

Li Hao honestly replied: "Not eating yet."

"Come!" Li Shimin said loudly, "Prepare meals for Li Hao and have dinner with me!"

Li Hao was shocked when he heard this. It was a great honor to have dinner with Li Shimin. No one who was not a close confidant had such qualifications. Li Hao hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is so kind, I am so flattered."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "It's just a meal, why don't you panic? Take your seat."

"Abide by the order." Li Hao bowed his seat, and soon the meal came.

There are four dishes, braised duck, boiled green vegetables, stir-fried bean sprouts, and tomato egg soup. It is estimated that the tomato egg soup is copied from Taibailou, but the appearance seems to be a bit bad.

Looking at the four dishes on the table, Li Hao sighed in his heart: "Li Shimin, Li Shimin, you killed your two brothers and sharpened your forehead and sat on the throne, just to review the memorials and eat these things every day? Are you feeling unhappy?"

Of course, he didn't dare to say these words, otherwise Li Shimin would definitely call the Jinwu Guard to come in and dismember him. After all, the Xuanwu Gate Incident was his reverse scale, and no one dared to mention it in front of him, including Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji.

When Li Shimin saw Li Hao looking at the food, he smiled faintly and said, "Shima, you are known as the God of Food in the Tang Dynasty. My dishes may not be attracted to your eyes, so I will just eat them."

"I dare not." Li Hao hurriedly said respectfully, "Even if Your Majesty gives you water, I will definitely eat no drop left."

"You flattery." Li Shimin laughed and cursed, "You Dao means not to eat or sleep, and you have anything to say, and you will say it after you finish eating."

"Yes." Li Hao picked up the chopsticks and started eating. There was a lot of food, but Li Hao said all the big words and ate all the food.

Li Shimin seemed to have a bad appetite and had not finished a bowl of rice. When he saw Li Hao’s bowls and plates clean, he couldn’t help but smile and said, “You really don’t have any left.”

Li Hao said: "Who knew that every grain of food on the plate was hard, and I dare not waste food."

"Who knew that every grain of food on the plate was hard to do?" Li Shimin chanted softly when he heard this, nodded, "Okay, well said, this is your newly written poem?"

Li Hao was embarrassed and said casually, but unexpectedly he pulled out the poem. Since Li Shimin asked, he could only nod: "Reply to Your Majesty, yes."

Li Shimin said: "What is the whole poem? Come and listen to it to me."

"As for the order." Li Hao slowly stood up and began to chant, "It's noon that the day when hoeing the wheat, sweat drips into the soil. Who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard to do."

After hearing Long Yan, Li Shimin was very happy and praised: "Okay, good poems, those literati should write more such poems. By the way, what is the name of this poem?"

Li Hao replied: "Your Majesty, this poem is called "Praise for the Farmers". I wrote it when I saw the old farmer in the fields working."
