I Won't Be So Generous This Time
"I suggest that Yang Zhengdao be pushed out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded!”
A cold and stern voice resounded in the Political Affairs Hall.
Gu Hao's face was full of righteousness, and his heart was filled with endless killing intent.
This grandson of Emperor Yang of Sui had stolen his crystal cup and caused his family heirloom to break.
Then, he tried to kill Li Shimin in prison.
Now, this assassination was most likely instigated by this grandson!
From the beginning to the end, Gu Hao had never taken the initiative to provoke this grandson.
However, this grandson seemed to be glued to Gu Hao and wanted to get rid of him.
When faced with such a situation, even a good-tempered person would be angry. Besides, Gu Hao was never one to be taken advantage of.
"What a strong killing intent." Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and sized up Gu Hao. Suddenly, he had a thought.
"He guessed that Zhen went to see Yang Zhengdao. Is he testing Zhen's thoughts?”
"He's afraid!"
"He was afraid that I would use his life to exchange for the whereabouts of the Imperial Jade Seal and the jade from Yang Zhengdao.”
Li Shi Min's eyes flashed with understanding.
Empress Zhangsun gently hugged Li Lizhi and frowned.
She knew a lot of things.
He knew that the Duke of Song, Xiao Yu, was trying his best to protect Yang Zhengdao.
"Your Majesty should be in a difficult position right now, right?”
Empress Zhangsun sighed.
She also felt a little uncomfortable.
If she only considered her family, she would naturally agree with Gu Hao's suggestion.
After all, the one who was assassinated this time was her favorite beauty.
However, she was the Empress of the Tang Empire, and her husband was His Majesty!
He couldn't just consider his own family. He needed to put the country before his family.
"All of this is just your speculation. Before there is conclusive evidence, Zhen will not deal with Yang Zhengdao.”Li Shiming looked at Gu Hao and said lightly.
"A pun?" Gu Hao was expressionless.
Li Shi Min didn't want to kill Yang Zheng Dao, not because he didn't have solid evidence.
His own daughter had been assassinated, and there was already a suspect. Even if he didn't kill her, he should immediately be interrogated and punished.
Li Er's current attitude was so calm that he did not seem like a father at all.
"Perhaps, it's because he knows that the only person Yang Zhengdao wants to kill is me!”
Gu Hao narrowed his eyes.
"I am willing to interrogate Yang Zhengdao for Your Majesty. I will definitely be able to find out all the conspiracies he has planned.”Gu Hao said in a deep voice.
He wanted to try again.
If he didn't kill Yang Zhengdao, he would always feel uneasy.
The Imperial Jade Seal was too important to an Emperor who had killed his brothers and forced his father to take the throne.
In particular, the past emperors basically all had the imperial jade seal in their hands.
Li Yuan didn't. He had already been defeated by Li Er!
Under such circumstances, Gu Hao really didn't dare to trust Li Er's integrity.
"You should rest well for a few days. The Guanyin maid's birthday is coming soon. You'll be busy."
As for Yang Zhengdao, I will send someone to interrogate him. If the attack on you and Lizhi is really related to him, I will not let him off easily.”
"Yes."
Gu Hao replied.
………
After leaving Taiji Palace and the imperial city, Gu Hao boarded the carriage.
"F * ck, this dog Li Er must have some evil intentions towards me.”
Gu Hao cursed in his heart.
He completely removed his disguise, and his face turned extremely black.
He was angry for a while and greeted the eighteen generations of the Yang and Li families…
Gu Hao gradually calmed down and thought of a way to get out of this situation.
After a while, he thought of three ways to break the situation:
First, find a way to kill Yang Zhengdao!
As long as Yang Zhengdao was dead, he would not need to pay any attention to Yang Zhengdao's conditions.
Second, find the Heirloom Seal and the jade!
With the appearance of the Heshi Jade, Yang Zhengdao became a dispensable person, and no one would care about the conditions he offered.
Third, find a way to kill Li Er!
Li Eryi died, so naturally he couldn't agree to Yang Zhengdao's request.
"Relatively speaking, killing Yang Zhengdao is the easiest.”
Gu Hao thought to himself.
Find Heshi Bi, can leave the Turks;
If he killed Li Er, he would encounter an even greater crisis.
It was not as simple and effective as killing Yang Zhengdao.
"It's not easy either!"
Gu Hao sighed.
Li Shi Min was very clear about Yang Zheng Dao's importance, so he would definitely protect him closely.
Killing Yang Zhengdao was indeed the easiest way out of the three methods he had thought of.
But this was only relative.
"The method to indirectly break the situation is to let Li Er truly realize my importance.”
Gu Hao closed his eyes and pondered.
As long as he was important enough to the Great Tang, Li Shiming would not kill him even if he disliked him.
"Glass, flat mirror, new wine, poetry, ability to do things…"
Gu Hao frowned.
A sentence appeared in his mind,'Useless.'
The value he had at the moment was mainly in business and literature.
In this era, agriculture was valued over commerce! From the fact that Li Er didn't ask about the glass at the first time, it could be seen that he didn't realize the huge benefits that the glass could produce.
Or rather, Li Er didn't care at all.
As for literature…Li Er got the world from his horse, and there were countless scholars around him. His literary value was more like the value of 'helping entertainment'.
"Army and agriculture." Gu Hao's eyes flashed with understanding.
The real value that Li Shimin was interested in was the military and agriculture.
"A way to improve agriculture? Tractors? Mixed rice? Potato, sweet potato seeds?"
Gu Hao thought about it and realized that improving agriculture couldn't be done in a day.
Even if he had hybrid rice seeds, it would take at least a season for them to grow.
It was too slow.
There was no need to think about agriculture for the time being, so he could only consider improving the army.
Naturally, Gu Hao thought of…
Weapons and armor.
"Increase the sharpness of the weapon and the hardness of the armor…"
A faint smile gradually appeared on Gu Hao's lips.
To some extent, improving ironware could also increase agricultural productivity.
Hoes were sharper and more durable, and the productivity of the farmland would naturally increase.
The problem of quenching iron in ancient times was actually related to the temperature of the fire.
Gu Hao had already used the method of increasing the temperature of the furnace in some of the steps of producing glass.
"Desulfurization of coal, carburation process, and the application of clay pot…"
After thinking for a while, Gu Hao felt relieved.
"This time, I won't be so generous.”
Gu Hao sneered.
If not for this 'undeserved calamity', he might have offered up the technique of quenching iron and making steel in order to improve the fighting strength of the Tang soldiers.
Now, everything had to be discussed!
After returning to the antique shop, Gu Hao went to his study room and got busy.
After the last time he refined the glass cup, he had a good understanding of the craftsmanship of this era.
Now, he needed to combine the craftsmanship of this era to create the best process for quenching iron and making steel.
Gail Bagado served tea and water eagerly, and occasionally fed Gu Hao two grapes.
It was worth mentioning that in this era, grapes were an absolute luxury in the Great Tang.
The Great Tang had yet to truly import grapes.
"What language is this?" Gail Bagatou secretly sized up the content of Gu Hao's writing on the Xuan paper with a dumbfounded expression.
It was fine if he couldn't understand the painting.
He didn't even recognize the words.
"Master, what language are you writing?”
In the evening, Gu Hao put down his brush. Bagado asked carefully and curiously.
"This is called…Chinese characters." Gu Hao said truthfully.
"Chinese characters? Was it a language that was passed down from the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains?”Gail Bagado blinked her big eyes.
"Oh? You know about the Han Dynasty?" Gu Hao raised his eyebrows.
Gail "I've always admired the culture of the Central Plains. I've read some ancient books about the history of the Central Plains.”
"The Chinese characters that I wrote are indeed the Han of the Han Dynasty, but not all of the characters are.”Gu Hao said.
Some simplified characters were quite similar to the ancient official script.
"Oh, oh." Gail Bagatou nodded. She was even more curious, but she was afraid that if she asked too much, she would annoy this top scholar.
Just as she was hesitating, Gu Hao said,"
"I remember you saying that your Cheshi Kingdom has more merchants?”
The tribes of the Western Regions that had come to surrender were basically all on the Silk Road, and their businesses were quite prosperous.
This was also one of the reasons why they surrendered to the Tang Empire.
The prosperous Great Tang produced porcelain, silk, tea, and other products that were popular in the Western Regions and beyond.
"Yes, yes, quite a lot." Gail Bagado quickly replied.
"Help me do something," Gu Hao muttered.”
