Chapter 43
Empress Changsun hurried forward, supported Li Hao, and said:
"Mr. Li Hao has made great contributions to the imperial court, so I should salute Mr. Li Hao from now on. Guanying, you should also get up and talk."
Seeing that Empress Changsun sold out her face, Li Hao felt even less disgusted, smiled slightly, and said:
"Empress, please sit down."
The two sat down separately, and Li Guanying stood behind Li Hao. Guanying, who had always been sassy, was now like a shy little daughter-in-law.
Li Hao ordered Li Guanying to make a cup of tea, which was sent by Wei Zheng. Li Hao seldom drinks tea, so it is good to entertain at this time.
After pushing the teacup to Empress Changsun, Li Hao asked:
"I don't know what's the matter with the queen's visit to the humble house?"
Empress Changsun took a sip of tea, smiled slightly, and was full of the demeanor of a mother.
"I am here this time to apologize to you, Mr. Li, on behalf of my elder brother, Changsun Wuji!"
Li Guanying was startled.
Not really.
Li Guanying also heard from his father Li Jing that Li Hao offended his eldest grandson Wuji.According to the analysis of his father Li Jing, although Li Hao has the talents of all over the world and his future is limitless, but in any case, the contribution of Changsun Wuji is greater, and the most important thing is that he is closer to His Majesty.
Although His Majesty wants to buy horse bones with a lot of money and reuse Li Hao, I am afraid that Changsun Wuji has a higher status in His Majesty's heart.
For this reason, Li Guanying was quite worried about whether Changsun Wuji would deal with Li Hao.
But Li Guanying never expected that the Empress, whom he feared the most, actually came to Li Hao's mansion in person to apologize to Li Hao on behalf of his brother's eldest grandson Wuji.
This Li Hao's cards are too big!
Li Hao smiled slightly.
This eldest grandson queen is really a character!
You are a queen, but you can bend down and come to the mansion to apologize to yourself.
It's not just that Empress Changsun's knowledge of people surpasses her elder brother Changsun Wuji's, this kind of bearing is also rare.
It is worthy of being a famous queen in history.
According to Li Hao's temper, he didn't want to accept an apology easily.
Changsun Wuji, Li Hao is too lazy to deal with him now, but it doesn't mean he wants to reconcile with him.
But the intimacy of empress Changsun, like a kind elder, really made Li Hao unable to say no.
That's it.
Li Hao didn't go against his will either.
As long as the eldest grandson empress is his own elder, he will just give his own elders a face.
Anyway, Changsun Wuji is not worth Li Hao's efforts to bear grudges.
In the end Li Hao agreed.
"Empress, I can accept your apology, but I don't know if the eldest grandson intends to apologize."
Empress Changsun smiled.
"Mr. Li Hao, I can get my brother to agree in the future."
Words are full of confidence.
Li Hao shrugged, expressing that he didn't care.
As long as Empress Changsun can deal with her brother, Li Hao won't bother to deal with him in the future.
Seeing that Li Hao agreed, Empress Changsun immediately relaxed a lot.
"Then thank you, Mr. Li Hao. By the way, Mr. Li Hao, I am curious about something in this empress. I wonder if Mr. Li Hao can clarify this empress' doubts?"
Li Hao motioned to Empress Changsun to ask a question.
Empress Changsun asked suspiciously:
"I want to ask you from now on. Your Majesty wants to make you king. This is a great reward since ancient times. It is extremely rare in all dynasties. Often, non-royals are not allowed to be made king."
"Your Majesty gave you such an honor, why did you refuse?"
Li Hao smiled.
"Tell the truth?"
Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Of course."
Li Hao said:
"I said that I don't want to be a king or an official. I just want to enjoy life. My lifelong wish is to live more comfortably. Do you believe it?"
Empress Changsun was a little surprised.
It is the ultimate goal of many scholars to be successful, and Li Hao's idea, in the eyes of people like Empress Changsun, is the most wasteful way to waste one's life.
Only the second generation of the rich and powerful, the dudes of aristocratic families, would have such thoughts.
Those people have already been useless, but Li Hao has such a great talent, it would be a pity if he were to be left unused.
Empress Changsun advised:
"Mr. Li Hao, there is a sentence in this book, I don't know if it sounds good or not."
"In the past, Tao Yuanming and other people lived in seclusion, but at that time there was no way to serve the country, and everything was dark, even great talents had to live in seclusion, but now is the time when politics is clear and everything is waiting for prosperity. It can make the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, and its name will last forever."
"Mr. Li Hao, do you really not care about your posthumous name?"
"It's not easy to say it later. The so-called enjoying life is after all a waste of one's talents. If you can make a big career, isn't it good?"
What he said was well-founded, and Li Guanying couldn't help but nod his head as he revealed his true feelings.
Li Hao is a boy who is invincible in the world because of his greatness, but unfortunately he is too lazy to do anything now, so he asks himself to run errands for him.
If it goes on like this, is it worth it?
Seeing Empress Changsun's sincere persuasion, Li Hao's heart was touched inexplicably, and he didn't know what happened to him today. Chatting with Empress Changsun always softened his heart, just like a mother trying to persuade her son.
Li Hao couldn't help but speak his mind, and asked:
"Empress, what is a great cause?"
"Isn't it a great undertaking to expand the territory and conquer the world?"
"Educate the people, make the country prosperous and the people safe, is it a great cause?"
"Or to achieve a generation of calligraphers and painters who are proficient in all kinds of skills, can it be called a big undertaking?"
Empress Changsun said seriously:
"These should be the highest goals of a man!"
"If you can do any of them, it will be immortalized and passed on to future generations!"
But Li Hao shook his head and said:
"These so-called big undertakings are just what you think of as big undertakings. In my opinion, they are all things that can be done casually, and there is no challenge for a long time."
"Although the world is important in your eyes, in my eyes, it has long been irrelevant, even just a synonym for trouble."
"You guys are fighting for these so-called big causes. I don't think it's more important than cooking something delicious. Sometimes, if you don't bother a little, the common people in the world will be much better off."
After Li Guanying and Empress Changsun listened to it, they could only feel what Li Hao said in their hearts, and there was only one word to describe it, that is arrogance!
In Li Hao's mouth, these great undertakings accomplished by countless heroes through the ages are not worth mentioning.
However, if such arrogant words were spoken by another person, even if Li Shimin said it, Empress Changsun would definitely think that this person is a madman.
But from Li Hao's mouth, based on Li Hao's ingenious and ingenious proposal, Empress Changsun believed that what Li Hao said was true!
Li Hao really thinks so, and he has the strength to support him thinking so!
At this moment, Empress Changsun realized that the situation in Li Hao's heart was far from being inferior to anyone else.
It's not that Li Hao is greedy for enjoyment.
But the entire city of Chang'an, and even the vast world, have never been in Li Hao's eyes.
Empress Changsun gave a wry smile.
It turns out that Li Hao has such a heart, so how can he move Li Hao even if he is just crowned king.
Not to mention being crowned king, Empress Changsun reckoned that Li Hao wouldn't even bother to sit if she handed over the Great Tang throne.
Such a great talent cannot be won over by fame and fortune.
You can only make friends with it.
