"Yes!" Li Hao bowed and then straightened his crown, and his expression became particularly solemn. "People have birth, old age, sickness and death, and the state has prosperity and decline. This is the law of heaven and unchanging."

As soon as this said, everyone was shocked. In front of Li Shimin, he was very brave. I wonder if this is the taboo of every emperor. So far, only Wei Zheng has said similar things. Even Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji remained silent. Unexpectedly, Li Hao said it today.

Li Shimin obviously didn't expect Li Hao to be so fierce. After a moment of stunned silence, he slowly frowned, then slowly unfolded, nodding and said, "It is true that, from ancient times to the present, no dynasty has never been able to last for a thousand years."

Everyone was shocked again and thought Li Shimin would get angry, but he didn't expect that Li Shimin actually agreed with Li Hao's words, what is a wise monarch? This is a wise monarch!

Li Hao continued: "The Tang Dynasty is now prosperous, but it is just a manifestation. A natural disaster can make Your Majesty sleepless all night."

His words are just to the point. Li Shimin has been ascending the throne for so many years and has never been afraid of any enemy, because he is the most powerful person in the world, and any enemy will eventually be killed by him. However, he is afraid of natural disasters, which is an irresistible force. Every time a natural disaster comes, the people of the Tang Dynasty will fall into dire straits.

Fortunately, there have not been many major natural disasters in recent years. The only two natural disasters have been resolved by Li Hao. This is a gratifying thing, but Li Shimin did not dare to be too optimistic because he knew that although Li Hao had the ability, he could not rely too much on him. After all, he was just a 17-year-old man, and there were always things he could not deal with.

Li Hao said leisurely: "I think that if one day the people of the Tang Dynasty have a support and the young have a support, even if the natural disasters suddenly drop, all people will not be displaced and can fill their stomachs. This is the real strength!"

Li Shimin showed a fascination when he heard this and sighed slowly: "In such a powerful era, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to see it in my lifetime."

Li Haozhan said: "Since this is the case, the Tang Dynasty is not truly invincible. If the vassal state pays tribute, it should not be rewarded twice. This is an act of using the wealth of the people of the Tang Dynasty to support foreign countries and foreign countries. I am not willing to agree with it."

Li Shimin did not express his opinion, but said lightly: "What else is there."

Li Hao also said: "The country introduced our Tang Dynasty culture and learned the farming crafts of the Tang Dynasty. It is called admiring the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and being honored. My dear ministers believe that the Tang Dynasty's etiquette can be spread to various countries to expand our emperor's education. However, the farming craftsmanship is the foundation of a strong country and cannot be passed on from outside. The grandson of the military saint said that the country's weapon will not be shown to others. I hope Your Majesty will clearly understand it."

Li Shimin thought about it carefully and asked, "With the meaning of poetry madness, treating vassal states, only passing on rituals, not skills, and rewarding tribute, is it not much, right?"

"That's right." Li Hao bowed long.

Li Shimin nodded and asked, "Then, according to your wishes, this is how the Japanese envoys are treated?"

"No." Li Hao stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Japanese are a wolf. Unlike other countries, they can only be called sons, not surrenders."

Li Shimin had long expected that he would say this. After all, Changsun Wuji and the others had already told him, but he still acted and pretended to be surprised and said, "I'm afraid that the Japanese will not agree and make such harsh demands, which will lose the face of the Tang Dynasty by then."

Li Hao was disappointed, and Li Shimin still cared too much about the face of a great country. No wonder, since Tian Khan had put on his hat, how could he be willing to take it off? The kings of all dynasties have had a great reputation. Fortunately, Li Hao had prepared a countermeasure and said slowly: "The so-called poor mountains and rivers are out of trouble, and the people of Japan are difficult to survive, and the turmoil is not over. Since this is the case, we can make a promise and only recognize that the current monarch of the Japanese and his descendants of bloodlines. If the current dynasty is in danger of overthrowing, whether it is internal or external troubles, our Tang Dynasty will send troops to help. With this condition, the Japanese will agree."

Li Shimin pondered for a moment when he heard this, thinking that the conditions were really good and he could give it a try.

At this time, Li Hao added: "Your Majesty, the Japanese country is barbaric. My Tang Dynasty can pass on its authentic Confucian rituals to open up its wisdom. I believe that the Imperial College Priest, Lord Kong, is an excellent candidate."

"Huh?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Hao suspiciously. He knew that Li Hao and Kong Yingda had a marriage, but now Li Hao suddenly recommended such an important job to Kong Yingda. What is his intention? It's a bit intriguing.

Li Hao actually didn't have much intention. He just wanted Kong Yingda to teach some Confucian etiquette in the Japanese. The strict etiquette in ancient China clearly hindered the development of national strength and technology, but various dynasties believed that etiquette was the foundation of the country. Why? Because the strict etiquette can maintain the stability of a dynasty, etiquette was deeply loved by kings of all generations, and reached the point where they could not let go. Haha, Kong Yingda, you should harm the Japanese and you will be famous in history.

Li Shimin and the ministers present naturally did not think that ethics were bad. Besides, ethics was a good thing for this era, but later generations had a more pragmatic vision, so they all thought that Li Hao was generous this time and actually recommended Kong Yingda as a professor in a foreign country, which was a bit surprised.

Originally, with Kong Yingda's official position and prestige, he didn't need to take action on such things. However, Li Shimin was in a good mood today and nodded happily and said, "Authentication!"

Li Hao was so happy that he grinned and laughed so happily. Li Shimin suddenly said, "Shima, don't take a break later, and treat Princess Jinyang's condition."

"I obey the order!" Li Hao took the order and retreated aside.

Li Shimin looked at the ministers present and asked again: "It's getting late, do you have any more things to report?"

The whole audience was quiet for a few seconds, and Li Chunfeng suddenly came out to salute and said, "I have something to do."

"Oh?" Li Shimin's eyes widened a little and spread his hands and asked, "Li Jiangshilang, what do you have to report?"

Li Chunfeng said: "Your Majesty, I have been watching the star signs at night recently and found that although Your Majesty's Emperor Star is extremely bright, there are demon stars on it, which is an unknown sign."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Li Shimin frowned and said, "The demon star is at the trouble, what do you mean?"

Li Chunfeng said: "Your Majesty, if the tests of the empress are correct, there are already demons on your Majesty's side. It is better to eliminate them as soon as possible, for fear of changes."

Li Hao was shocked when he heard this. Could this Li Chunfeng be really a god? Even this could be predicted. Isn’t the demon he was talking about Wu Meiniang?

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and did not say much, but waved his hand lightly and said, "If you have the will, I will be responsible for it. Let's retreat."

"Yes." Li Chunfeng obeyed the order and retreated.

Li Hao suddenly felt uneasy. It seemed that it was not so easy for Wu Meiniang to get to power. She had just entered the palace and had not done anything yet, but Li Chunfeng was criticized by her. If Li Shimin listened to Li Chunfeng's words, she was afraid she would be in danger.

With a lot of thought, he finally waited until Li Shimin's discussion was over. Originally, Li Shimin had a few memorials to review, but he was in a hurry to take Li Hao to see his daughter, so he ignored the memorials and took Li Hao away from the hall.

Princess Jinyang has been taking medicine on time as required by Li Hao for a while, and has been extremely strict in her life and diet. Now her health has improved greatly, and even the dosage has been reduced. Even so, Li Shimin still asked Li Hao to come and check her every half month so that he can rest assured.

After completing the routine examination for Princess Jinyang, Li Hao told Li Shimin that Princess Jinyang was recovering very well, and Li Shimin finally felt at ease. At this time, Princess Jinyang pestered Li Hao and refused to let Li Hao go, and asked Li Hao to tell him a story, because Li Hao had told him stories before, and she was fascinated by listening. Every time Li Hao came, he had to tell a story before he could leave. Li Hao had no choice but to tell her a story. Grimm's fairy tale and Andersen's fairy tale came in handy at this time.

Li Shimin was not in the mood to listen to Li Hao’s naive stories. Thinking of the fact that there were still a few memorials before they were approved, he returned to Ganlu Palace and continued to review the memorials.

Finally, he finished telling Princess Jinyang "The Happy Prince". Li Hao burst into tears. He didn't read many fairy tales when he was a child. If this continues, he can only tell the princess Afanti's story, including Alibaba and the Forty Thieves.

Walking out of Princess Jinyang's bedroom, Li Hao was guided by the eunuch to leave the palace. He walked around for a long time. As soon as he turned a corridor, Li Hao felt his eyes lit up and finally saw Wu Meiniang.

Li Hao hurried forward to greet him: "Greetings to Wu Cairen."

Wu Meiniang spread her hands and said, "A man from Lantian County is exempt from gifts. Will he go to the palace to diagnose Princess Jinyang?"

Li Hao nodded: "Yes."

Wu Meiniang asked again: "Your Majesty is most worried about Princess Jinyang's condition. I wonder if the princess's health has improved?"

Li Hao said: "Princess Jinyang is getting better and better, and Your Majesty is very happy when he hears it."

"That's good, Your Majesty's dragon body is the most important." Although Wu Meiniang is only thirteen years old, she speaks very steadily and cooperates well with Li Hao.

Li Hao bowed and said, "Then, the subordinates will surrender."

Wu Meiniang spread her hands and nodded, making a gesture of asking for advice.

Li Hao left again under the leadership of the eunuch. Before leaving, a small piece of paper the size of soybeans in his hand slid down and fell to the ground, only two feet away from Wu Meiniang's feet.

When they walked away, Wu Meiniang bent down and picked up the paper ball and quietly put it into her sleeve.

Wu Meiniang looked around and saw that no one noticed it. Then she felt at ease. After walking quickly to a rockery, she took out a ball of paper and opened it. She saw a few lines of words written in regular script: "Your Majesty has a horse, called a lion, it is strong and difficult to tame. If Your Majesty asks about the method of subduing, don't answer."

This word is very plain and it is not Li Hao's handwriting at first glance. It is obvious that Li Hao asked someone to write for him. No wonder he dared to use his handwriting to the palace. If he was caught, he would not even have the chance to deny it.

Li Hao's note has a very clear meaning. He told Wu Meiniang that Li Shimin had a horse called Lion Chase, which was wild and difficult to tame. If Li Shimin asked her if she could subdue the horse, she would say she didn't know.

Although Wu Meiniang understood the meaning of the note, she was still confused. She couldn't understand why this was, so she just asked about how to train the horse and why she couldn't answer it.
