Chapter 165 Intercession
"Besides, even if it is Mr. Li Hao, I'm afraid it will be difficult to persuade my father. The father's intention of getting married this time is very firm, and it is not something a courtier can stop."
Li Guanying patted Li Anlan's shoulder and said:
"Now you're underestimating Li Hao, don't worry, as long as Li Hao is willing to help you, no matter what difficulties and obstacles he has, he can be smoothed out for you."
"As for the reason for helping you, it's not simple. You are my good sister. After you go, say a few soft words, put on a wronged face, and let me blow the wind. It will be much easier to handle."
Li Anlan didn't want to go at first.
But I couldn't help Li Guanying's persuasion.
no way.
Li Anlan can only go with Li Guanying once.
Under the leadership of Li Guanying, Li Anlan took a sedan chair to Li Hao's residence not long after.
It was also the first time Li Anlan met Li Hao.
Li Hao's deeds have been circulating in Chang'an City.
Each of those deeds can be called a legend.
The royal father and the ministers were full of praise for Li Hao.
Among the common people, Li Hao's reputation is also particularly good.
Except for the idle clouds and wild cranes, Li Hao has almost no shortcomings.
Li Guanying brought Li Anlan into Li Hao's residence.
Then in the courtyard, I saw Li Hao.
When Li Anlan saw Li Hao for the first time, her first impression was that Li Hao was so handsome!
With Li Anlan's experience, she has never seen anyone more handsome than Li Hao!
However, there was no spring heart.
It's a very familiar feeling.
Just like siblings.
Li Anlan asked for help that he could not say at first, but now he felt it was natural.
It seems that it is very logical to ask Li Hao for help.
Li Anlan bowed slightly and said:
"Little girl Li Anlan, this is being polite."
Li Hao was also slightly taken aback when he saw Li Anlan for the first time.
It's like meeting Empress Changsun for the first time.
It felt like she was her own sister.
Li Hao rubbed his eyes.
Make sure you really feel that way.
Seeing Li Anlan salute, Li Hao quickly said:
"Your Highness, there is no need to be polite. I am Li Hao. Is there anything the princess can do for me?"
Li Anlan naturally said:
"Actually, sister Guanying should have already told you, Mr. Li Hao, that I will be married by my father, but I don't want to do this. I wonder if Mr. Li Hao can intercede for me."
Li Anlan's request did not contain any very aggrieved or touching words.
Just a simple request.
But Li Hao keenly caught the trace of sadness in Li Anlan's eyes.
Li Hao sighed.
Suddenly, Li Hao's heart softened.
"Forget it, let me help you."
Li Guanying never thought that Li Hao would agree so easily.
Could it be that Li Hao is acting out of lust?
It doesn't look like that, Li Hao has always been dismissive of beautiful women, and others are chasing after him, so how can Li Hao be chasing others.
Moreover, there is no apparent ambiguous relationship between the two of them.
Li Hao stood up, patted his butt, and said:
"Okay, I'll go up to the court and intercede with His Majesty."
"You two wait at home."
After finishing speaking, Li Hao walked out the door.
……
A special guest came to Li Shimin's study today.
Li Shimin never expected that one day, Li Hao would come to his study to find him.
It was almost as if the sun was rising from the west.
Li Shimin was curious, how did this Li Hao, who never cared about government affairs, remember to visit him today?
Li Shimin asked:
"Mr. Li Hao, it's really rare today that you actually came here in person."
"It is said that there is no reason not to go to the Three Treasures Palace. Mr. Li Hao is here for something, right?"
Li Hao nodded.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I do have something to ask for your help."
Li Shimin smiled and said:
"Mr. Li Hao, you have made great contributions to Datang. If you have any requirements, I will do my best to satisfy you."
Li Hao smiled and said:
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am here this time on the commission of the Eldest Princess. The Eldest Princess entrusted me to intervene. She does not want to marry the Western Turks thousands of miles away. It is impossible to prevent the eldest princess from marrying to West Turkic."
Li Shimin was stunned.
Unexpectedly, Li Hao asked himself for help. It turned out that it was for this matter. Li Shimin shook his head and said with a wry smile:
"Mr. Li Hao, do you think I want to push my beloved daughter away?"
"I don't know how hard it is to be married to Western Turks and be far away from my homeland. In the past when Wang Zhaojun went out of the fortress in the Han Dynasty, the pain was really hard to describe. How can I know that I have read the history books?"
Li Hao couldn't help asking in doubt:
"Since your Majesty knows all this, why do you want to marry your daughter?"
Li Shimin sighed, and said: "Mr. Li Hao, not everyone can be as carefree as you. Even if I am the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, I can't do whatever I want."
"The Tang Dynasty has only been in my hands for only two years. The government is not very stable, but the internal troubles are fine. The difficulty is foreign troubles. Now that we are in all directions, which country is easy to entangle? He is the great enemy of the Tang Dynasty!"
"If I refuse this kind of marriage and the relationship with the Western Turks is not good, then I will be enemies with the Eastern and Western Turks at the same time. This is really a huge pressure for the current Tang Dynasty!"
"The only daughter I can marry right now is the eldest princess."
"Since An Lan was born in my royal family, she should think about the world!"
"If you want to blame, you can only blame An Lan. She is my daughter and the princess of Tang Dynasty. As a princess, she needs to have this responsibility!"
After hearing these words, Li Hao was slightly taken aback.
He didn't think of this layer.
Li Hao always thought it was Li Shimin who wanted to sacrifice his daughter's happiness in exchange for the benefits of a marriage.
But Li Shimin's words are not without reason.
Since you are a royal, you should have the responsibility of being a royal.
It's hard for Li Hao to dissuade him for a while.
Suddenly, Li Hao thought of something and asked:
"Your Majesty, you are worried about the stalemate in the relationship with the Western Turks, and you have to deal with the national defense pressure of the Eastern and Western Turks at the same time, so you are forced to let the eldest princess get married."
"That is to say, if either Eastern Turkic or Western Turkic countries are unable to go to the Tang Dynasty, can the eldest princess go to Western Turkic to get married without being wronged?"
Li Shimin shook his head and said:
"The truth is, if it wasn't for the threat these two countries would pose to the border of the Tang Dynasty, why would I have to quarrel with Guanyin's maidservant and marry my own daughter thousands of miles away."
"However, both the East and West Turks are big countries. Even though the East Turks are in troubled times, their potential for war is still great, and the threat to the Tang Dynasty is still not to be underestimated. Let alone the West Turks, they are in a prosperous time."
"How can there be such a cheap thing that will make these two countries unable to go out unless they are beaten to the ground."
Li Shimin has fought for so many years, in terms of the prosperity of martial arts, there is no one in the world who can surpass Li Shimin.
But even Li Shimin didn't dare to say that he could weaken the East and West Turks like this.
Even with Li Hao's various inventions, Li Shimin's recent losses are also great. The severe drought on the Hedong Road left the national treasury empty, and the Turkic expedition lost [-] elite soldiers. In fact, [-] soldiers were unable to fight anymore.
This time, another [-] elite soldiers of Yuan Junzhang were lost.
