Chapter 406: Restaurant Surprise 1

"Xuanwei City...Xuanwei City..." Li Shimin carefully savored it, smiled and nodded, "Good name, proclaiming my national prestige in the Tang Dynasty, this name has achieved good results, but...Psychic, what does this Urumqi mean, and what language does it mean?"

Li Hao could not tell him that this is the language of the Uyghur tribe. After all, the Uyghur tribe has not appeared yet, so he lied casually: "When I go back to Your Majesty, I don't know what it means. I took it randomly. Anyway, it sounds quite like a foreign language. Besides, I think that no matter which foreign language is used as the name, other foreign tribes will have opinions. If I choose one randomly, it will be safe."

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed: "You... you... are so useless... OK, just use these two names!"

When the ministers heard this, they suddenly felt a slump. In fact, they didn't care what name they used. What they cared about was Li Shimin's attitude. Li Shimin's favor towards Li Hao was really getting more and more prosperous. It was originally a thing worthy of happiness to suppress Li Hao's reward, but now they are not happy at all.

Next, Li Hao proposed the westward migration of the Military and Political Center of the Anxi Protectorate. The central idea was to establish the four towns of Anxi, and Li Shimin also approved it.

After discussing the border defense matter, Li Shimin proposed another thing, that is, to commend the achievements of the founding ministers of the Tang Dynasty. He planned to ask the painter to paint portraits of the heroes in Lingyan Pavilion to show their achievements and be admired by future generations. At present, there is a candidate that has been determined to be 24, and even Hou Junji who participated in the rebellion is among them. Now, there is still a candidate to be determined, yes, Li Hao.

When he heard this, all the ministers opposed it. All kinds of reasons and arguments were flying all over the sky. Anyway, the result was the same, and Li Hao's portrait was not allowed to enter Lingyan Pavilion.

Li Hao was a little shocked about this incident. The portraits of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion were passed down to be admired by thousands of people in the future. If he could really enter Lingyan Pavilion, it would be considered as a matter of fame for all generations. Everyone has vanity. Li Hao is inevitably vulgar this time, but now all officials are obstructing him, and he himself is not willing to take the initiative to fight for it. This matter should be very lingering.

In fact, the portraits of the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion were also a sudden inspiration for Li Shimin. At the same time, he also hoped to make up for Li Hao through this matter, but he did not expect that the ministers would obstruct Li Hao again. If they obstruct Li Hao's rewards because Li Hao was young, it would make some sense. After all, Li Shimin was also afraid that Li Hao would be in a position to be incapable in the future. But the reasons why these ministers obstructed Li Hao's portraits into Lingyan Pavilion are simply nonsense.

For the sake of Li Hao entering Lingyan Pavilion, the Tai Chi Palace was in trouble, just like a vegetable market. In the end, Li Shimin got angry and announced his retreat, and then left angrily. The morning court ended so badly.

When he walked out of Tai Chi Palace, Li Hao saw Changsun Wuji outside Chengtian Gate. Changsun Wuji also looked at him. The two of them were more than four meters away and looked at each other calmly. This was the meeting between the newly rising rookie in the court and the top boss in the court. Although the two of them looked at each other for a long time, they felt that time was stagnant. Once upon a time, Li Hao was still a shameless young man. Changsun Wuji wanted to win over Li Hao. Li Hao also called him uncle, but now, they were on the opposite side.

Li Hao finally gave Changsun Wuji a calm smile, turned around and left, and after leaving the imperial city, he rode his horse towards Taibai Tower.

Taibai Building did not open today, but hung a wooden sign at the door, which said "The restaurant is renovated, and the guests are not welcome yet." There were also sounds of decorative sounds of knocking and knocking.

Li Hao brought Chen Song forward and knocked on the door. The shopkeeper Yao Dafu came to open the door. After Li Hao went in, he asked, "Have you started renovation?"

"Go back to Marquis, yes." Yao Dafu answered respectfully.

"I'll go and have a look." Li Hao walked upstairs as he spoke.

Taibai Building was renovated for three days and finally reopened. The business was still as good as ever, but customers found that there seemed to be no big changes in the interior of the restaurant. What about the redecoration?

On February 15th, the grand court meeting was held again, and Li Shimin reiterated the old story, and wanted to let Li Hao's portrait enter Lingyan Pavilion. The ministers still opposed it unanimously. This time their reasons for opposition were very unified. Li Hao was not a founding hero.

Li Shimin was quite angry and endured for the time being. He secretly decided to modify the plan and no longer talk about the portrait of founding meritorious deeds, but rather the portrait of the minister with outstanding meritorious deeds in the Tang Dynasty. Anyway, he must let Li Hao's portrait enter Lingyan Pavilion.

On the morning of February 16th, Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang went to find Li Shimin and asked him to take him out to play. Li Shimin was in a bad mood, so he took Li Mingda and a group of Jinwu Guards out of the palace. This time, Li Shimin actually met Li Zhi who was traveling in a mess on the street. It was a coincidence that Li Zhi joined their team and the three of them went shopping together.

At noon, Li Zhi was hungry and wanted to have a meal. They happened to be near Taibai Building, so they entered Taibai Building. The old rules were the No. 5 private room, and several Jinwu Guards were guarding outside the private room, pretending to eat in the hall, while Li Yuanzhong was guarding the room. There were many Jinwu Guards hidden outside Taibai Building.

As soon as Li Shimin and his friends were served, they suddenly heard a voice coming from room No. 4 next door: "Oh, Brother Zhu, you said that this prince has been deposed for a year, why didn't the emperor establish a new prince?"

Li Yuanzhong was pouring wine for Li Shimin. After hearing the words next door, Li Shimin quickly raised his hand to stop him, waved his hand to signal him to retreat, and then listened with his ears.

Then he heard the man called Brother Zhu say, "Brother Liu, don't just talk about such a big deal easily, be careful of the wall."

The man who was called Brother Liu laughed and said, "This is not the first time we are discussing big things outside. Why is Brother Zhu so timid this time?"

"Brother Liu, you've drunk too much."

"I didn't drink too much, let's talk about it, which one of the emperor's princes is the most suitable to be the crown prince, the King of Wei? or the King of Wu?"

"Oh..." Brother Zhu seemed to sigh.

"If you don't say it, then drink all the wine, and you will do this meal."

"I said that." Brother Zhu sighed lightly and said slowly, "Although there are many emperors, the other princes are still young, and there seems to be no outstanding people. As for King Wei and King Wu, they are not the choices of emperors."

Li Shimin frowned when he heard this and waved his hand and said softly: "Li Yuanzhong, take the King of Jin and the Princess downstairs first."

"Yes." Li Yuanzhong responded softly, took Li Zhi and Li Mingda out of the private room, walked to the first floor, and found a seat in the lobby on the first floor to sit down.

In the private room No. 5, Li Shimin was immediately left. Li Shimin listened carefully to the conversation between the two next door.

"Oh? King Wei is knowledgeable and intelligent, and King Wu is extremely wise. Why isn't he the emperor's choice?"

"You don't know that the King of Wei is obese, not a sign of longevity. To be honest, if the King of Wei dies early after inheriting the throne and the little prince is not yet adult, then the power of the Tang Dynasty may fall aside, and the country will only be in turmoil."

Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this. He began to secretly guess that the two people sitting next door should be scholars who were very concerned about national affairs. They had a very insightful view of such major events and were incisive. In fact, he had always been worried about Li Tai's health, which is also a large part of the reason why he spoiled Li Tai.

Then he heard Brother Zhu continue to say: "The King of Wei is indeed knowledgeable and intelligent, but his mind is not as broad as his figure. If he had come to power, the former crown prince would probably have lived a short life. Of course, the former crown prince is now a commoner and a guilty person. Life and death are no longer important. What I want to say is that the King of Wei is not tolerant, he is conceited, and he cannot listen to unpleasant and honest advice, and it is difficult to become a wise ruler. Moreover, I think the former crown prince's murder of the King of Wei may have been planned by the King of Wei."

"What!" Brother Liu exclaimed when he heard this.

Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this. Li Chengqian was the prince he trained. Although Li Chengqian disappointed him very much, he was also his beloved son. He devoted his life to Li Chengqian. Although Li Chengqian has been demoted to a commoner, he is still his son of Li Shimin. He still sends people to report Li Chengqian's news. This is the concern that a father must do. Now he suddenly heard that Li Chengqian murdered Li Tai was planned by Li Tai. How could he not be shocked?

At this time, Brother Liu from the next room hurriedly said, "Brother Zhu, you said I am brave. I think you are more courageous than me. You dare to say such things."

"I'm just guessing." Brother Zhu said slowly, "Although most people don't know about the former crown prince's rebellion, you and I have heard of it. At that time, the former crown prince was placed under house arrest in the Eastern Palace by the emperor for rebellion. No one dared to visit him, but the King of Wei suddenly went to visit him. You also know that although the King of Wei and the former crown prince are brothers, they are actually in the same way as the fire. How could he be kind to visit the former crown prince? He must have a purpose in going there. The former crown prince had just experienced a great disaster of life and death, and his emotions were difficult to settle. As long as he was stimulated, his mind would be in chaos and he would do something that would lose his mind..."
