"Then it depends on whether Your Majesty will let go of your daughter." Empress Changsun said with a smile.
Li Shimin laughed heartily: "If I can bring such a talented person back home, why would I be stingy with a daughter?"
"It's just that Xiangcheng and the others are already married, and Sui'an and the others are too young. I'm afraid they don't have a suitable one, right?"
Empress Changsun rolled her eyes at Li Shimin: "Erlang forgot, you also have a daughter."
"Also... Guanyin Maid means An Lan?"
"Exactly."
"It's just that the child is very stubborn. I'm afraid of her..." Li Shimin hesitated a little. He wanted to let Qin Hao completely ride on the Tang Dynasty's carriage by marrying his daughter, but if the young couple didn't deal with it after the marriage,
That would not be a relationship, but an enmity.
Empress Changsun asked with a smile: "Which children in the academy do you think Erlang is easy to get along with? Are you still under his control now? Can you still control a little girl?"
"Haha, the queen is really my good wife." Li Shimin laughed loudly after hearing this.
........
Three days later, Qin Hao entered the Harem of the Tang Dynasty for the first time under the leadership of Queen Changsun's personal maid. He was a little puzzled along the way that the kind Queen Changsun actually invited him to enjoy the flowers.
Although March is indeed the season when grass grows and orioles fly, he and Empress Changsun have never socialized.
Full of doubts, Qin Hao was taken to the harem garden by the palace maid, who then made excuses to escape.
Uh... Why does this plot sound a bit like a conspiracy in a palace battle drama?
Of course, Qin Hao believed that Empress Changsun would not be so bored with such tactics, after all, there was no conflict of interest between the two parties.
Just when Qin Hao was slightly stunned, a slender woman in green clothes walked over, followed by a jumping little palace maid.
"Miss, Miss, why did the Queen suddenly ask us to plant flowers here today? She also gave us so many rewards." The little palace maid said innocently.
The woman in green knelt down and started digging a hole in the flower bed. Her movements were very skillful, and she seemed to have done this kind of work regularly.
"I don't know, and I don't want to know. After all, she is the Queen. She has already issued the decree. Can we still resist?"
Qin Hao's heart moved. If everything is too coincidental, it must not be a coincidence. Obviously, what Queen Changsun called him here to appreciate was not the flowers and plants, but the "green plant" in front of him.
This woman in green clothes is not that stunning in appearance. She has a delicate oval face, a round chin, and some baby fat on her cheeks. She looks very attractive in detail.
After the woman in green filled the soil, she clapped her hands, stood up, and suddenly looked up, and found a man standing in the pavilion opposite, and he was looking at her unscrupulously.
"Hey, when did he come, I didn't even notice it." The little palace maid said with a cute look on her face.
The woman in green glared at the little palace maid, then walked to the pavilion and asked: "Who are you, and why are you here in the imperial garden?"
"Who are you and why are you here?" Qin Hao calmly sat down and took a sip of tea. It was obvious that this person was the "blind date" arranged by Empress Changsun for him. Since it was a blind date, then
Just talk.
The woman in green put her hands on her hips and bit her teeth lightly: "You are so rude, I asked you first."
"You're not much better. Generally speaking, people with good etiquette will introduce themselves before asking others."
The woman in green choked and almost rolled her eyes. The little palace maid behind her tilted her head, scratched her head, and whispered: "Miss, what he said seems to make sense. How about we tell him first, who are you?"
"Xiao Lingdang, why are you still speaking for this deceitful person?" The woman in green was furious.
"This is called justice, which is in the heart of the people. You see, the young lady should be a lady among the people. How can she speak like a disciple? It is not the behavior of a gentleman to expose someone's innocence." Qin Hao argued.
The woman in green snorted angrily: "I am not a gentleman to begin with. I am a woman. You still say that you are not a disciple. You have been hiding here just now to peek at me. Is this what a gentleman does?"
"First of all, when Qin was admiring the flowers in the pavilion, the lady hadn't come yet. Secondly, Qin had been admiring the flowers here, and it was the lady who broke into Qin's sight. How can we say it was Qin who peeked?"
"Smooth tongue! How disgusting!"
Just when the two were arguing, they heard a slight cough.
"I am late, and I have kept the men of Qin County waiting for a long time."
Qin Hao had long noticed that Queen Changsun was peeking nearby, but he didn't expose her. He bowed and saluted: "Greetings to the Queen."
"I have met the Queen." The woman in green and the little palace maid also quickly bowed down.
Empress Changsun showed a kind smile to Qin Hao, and then helped the two of them up, one on the left and the other on the right.
"An Lan, this is a man from Qin County who is very famous in Chang'an. Why don't you show your respects quickly?"
Li Anlan reluctantly saluted Qin Hao.
Qin Hao was a little dumbfounded. After a long time of fuss, the person Empress Changsun asked him to go on a blind date was the Li Anlan that Yun Ye had always mentioned?
Empress Changsun took Li Anlan's hand, narrowed her eyes and praised him: "The man from Qin County is a rare talent in the court who has both civil and military talents. If you don't understand anything about your daily homework, you can ask him for advice."
Li Anlan didn't care. Although the man in front of her was quite handsome, his title was too low. She wanted to marry a man who could get rid of her father's control. Even if he was a tribal leader in a wilderness, it would be better than continuing to suffer.
Li Shimin spends his days at his own will.
Seeing that Qin Hao remained silent, Empress Changsun said to Li Anlan: "I have a distinguished guest to accompany you today. I will visit you another day."
"Nuo, Anlan excuses himself." Li Anlan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurried away with the little bell.
After Li Anlan left, Queen Changsun said to Qin Hao with a smile: "Isn't the man from Qin County now old enough to get married?"
Qin Hao also understood that there was no need to hide his words when talking to a smart person like Empress Changsun.
"The Queen may have made the wrong choice this time."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Oh? How do you say this?"
Qin Hao smiled bitterly and said: "Junior Brother Yun told me that when he was in the palace, he met a woman, also named Li Anlan."
Empress Changsun was dumbfounded. She didn't expect that such a commotion would happen. She could only change the subject awkwardly and took Qin Hao around in the imperial garden. After Qin Hao left, Empress Changsun gritted her teeth and said.
"Go and find out for me who are the eunuchs on duty that day!"
"promise."
After Empress Changsun punished the eunuch on duty, she was still angry and called Prince Li Chengqian to give him a severe scolding.
Li Chengqian looked confused. Wasn't it because Yun Ye was knocked unconscious by Li Anlan? Is it worth being so angry?
Without completing the task, Empress Changsun had no choice but to report to Li Shimin.
At first, Li Shimin thought Qin Hao didn't like his daughter, and was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. When he heard this again, he was dumbfounded.
"Yun Ye, this boy, has ruined my affairs!"
Li Shimin couldn't wait to call Yun Ye over now and have a serious meal. He finally had such a suitable daughter to marry Qin Hao, but Yun Ye ruined it.
"Mr. Guanyin, do you think I should marry An Lan to that boy Yun Ye?"
Empress Changsun shook her head gently: "Your Majesty, Qin Yun and Qin Yun were raised by the same master since they were young. Their relationship is extraordinary. And judging from the men in Qin County, if Yun Ye doesn't let go, he will have no chance of getting married.
I won't agree to it. If I force the decree, it will not be good if the marriage fails and it turns into a grudge."
"Well, what Guanyin said is absolutely true. It seems that the crux of the matter lies with this boy Yun Ye." Li Shimin nodded with an ugly face. Fortunately, Yun Ye was not in front of him, otherwise he would definitely not be able to escape from this beating.
.
"Should I summon that boy Yun Ye and ask him what he really thinks?"
Without Qin Hao as a comparison, with Yun Ye's talent, Li Shimin might just go along with the flow and facilitate this marriage. But with Zhu Yu in front of him, who would want to pick up stones on the ground?
"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate."
"Oh? Why?"
"Your Majesty is the 95th Supreme Being. Although An Lan has not been officially canonized as a princess, he is still your flesh and blood. Doesn't it seem disrespectful to be so eager? With the relationship between the Qin County man and Yun Ye, he will definitely not hide it. When the time comes, we will
Just watch Yun Ye's reaction and adapt accordingly."
"That's right, it's me who's too impatient, or Guanyin, you have a delicate mind."
........
After returning from the palace, Qin Hao went straight to the Yun Mansion. As soon as he entered the door, Mrs. Yun took his hand and greeted him for a while. He finally fooled the old woman, and then Qin Hao came to the backyard of the Yun Mansion.
As a result, as soon as I walked in, I saw a chaos in the backyard.
Several piglets were running rampant in the yard, and Yun Ye's younger sisters were chasing after them.
These piglets rushed towards Qin Hao with all their might, and he lifted them up by their front legs with one hand and two.
"Ah, brother Qin, you are so awesome."
"Thank you, brother Qin."
Qin Hao handed these restless piglets to a few girls, asked where Yun Ye was, and went straight to the study.
There were still people guarding the outside of the study, but they were all old acquaintances. These were soldiers of Zuo Wuwei who had been injured and retreated. One of them was saved by Qin Hao himself, so naturally he did not stop him.
When Qin Hao pushed open the study door, Yun Ye covered a painting on the desk with the force of hiding his ears, but Qin Hao still saw the content.
"If you dare to draw a turtle on the emperor's face, you won't be afraid of Baiqisi's spies reporting to him."
When Yun Ye saw that the person coming was Qin Hao, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Who told him to keep his word? I told my senior brother that if the academy had any needs, I could ask him directly, but every time I applied, Fang Xuanling and the others would shelve it.
, and they also said that the Turks have just been wiped out and the treasury is empty, and it will be replenished in the future. I think they are clearly afraid that the academy will develop and steal their jobs!"
On the front battlefield, Li Jing's deeds of defeating the Jieli barracks with 3,000 cavalry are certainly commendable, but in the rear, raising food, grass and baggage was also an invisible war.
How to keep the 100,000 troops at the front from starving and to have winter clothes when supplies are extremely scarce is a great test of governance ability.
The looting was ruthless but the people refused to do anything. The chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty was a bloody lesson.
Under the leadership of Qin Hao, the academy students helped Du Ruhui save a lot of trouble through refined data analysis and control. Originally this was a good thing, but in retrospect, Du Ruhui and other civil servants were inevitably a little scared.
The abilities displayed by these students are really amazing, and they have only been in school for less than four months. How amazing will they be if they complete their studies and graduate in the future?
What is even more frightening is that after three years, a group of students will graduate from the academy every year. Maybe these students will not be able to take their place for the time being, but what about in a few years?
Therefore, a group of civil servants headed by Du Ruhui did two things almost tacitly.
One is to delay the various applications for the academy as much as possible, and the other is to give Qin Hao gifts in private, hoping to send his children to the academy.
The two things seem contradictory, but this is how most people behave when facing emerging things. They are both afraid of change and want to take advantage of it. This has been the case throughout the ages.
"Senior brother, do you really want the next batch of children of those civil servants to enter the academy?" Yun Ye said depressedly.
Qin Hao smiled calmly: "Then it depends on what kind of plan you have for the academy. If it is just an ordinary academy, teaching and educating people, you can do it as you please, but if you want the academy to become the first academy in the Tang Dynasty,
, so as to push the entire Tang Empire forward, more people need to be tied onto this carriage."
Only by making those civil servants and the academy a community of interests can constraints be turned into assistance.
"I understand the truth, but I just think it's too cheap for them."
Qin Hao patted Yun Ye on the shoulder: "If you really feel aggrieved, the enrollment conditions are in your hands. If they want to send their children to the academy, they have to pay some tuition, right?"
Yun Ye's eyes lit up: "Yes, how could I have forgotten this? I am the one in charge of recruiting students!"
When Yun Ye's excitement was over, Qin Hao cleared his throat and told what happened to Li Anlan.
Yun Ye was stunned when he heard this.
"I have already told Empress Changsun what happened between you and Li Anlan. I believe His Majesty will not force the decree. If you are still interested in Li Anlan, it is best to explain it to His Majesty directly."
Hearing this, Yun Ye smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Brother, actually before I went out with the army this time, I figured it out. Li Anlan is Li Anlan, not my wife before time travel. Apart from having the same face, they have nothing in common. And she wanted to
The person you want to marry is not someone like me. Perhaps you and her are the most suitable ones."
Qin Hao was a little surprised: "You really think so?"
"Well, senior brother, you don't have to consider my factors, but I still have to remind you that Li Anlan is not a woman who is willing to trap herself in the backyard. If His Majesty really wants him to marry you, you have to watch her
Please, don’t let her get you involved."
"It sounds like I will definitely agree."
Hearing this, Yun Ye pursed his lips and said seriously: "Senior brother, if you had no interest in Li Anlan, you wouldn't have come to me right after you came out of the palace."
Seeing Qin Hao's slightly stunned expression, Yun Ye said with some pride.
"How about it, senior brother, I still know something about you, right?"
Saying that, Yun Ye suddenly gave Qin Hao a bear hug.
"No matter what, in this world, I have already treated you as a relative. No matter what happens in the future, our relationship will not be shaken."
"good."
Qin Hao patted Yun Ye's back solemnly, which was also his promise to Yun Ye.
