Visiting Yang Zhengdao
"Achoo ~"
Late at night, a certain Minister of Rites, who was hugging his concubine as he slept, sneezed inexplicably.
The concubine frowned. She was woken up in an instant.
He looked at his master, who was one year away from his fifties, and shrunk his head in disgust, avoiding his slightly greasy face.
The next day, noon.
Gu Hao woke up from a hangover.
"My head hurts."
Gu Hao sat up and rubbed his temples.
Last night, he seemed to have drunk too much.
Recalling last night, Gu Hao pondered for a long time and frowned deeply.
Blacked out?
He only remembered drinking with Zhang Liang and watching the dance music of Bodhisattva Man for a while. After that…
"What else is there after that?"
Gu Hao closed his eyes and pondered.
He had no recollection of what happened after that.
He only vaguely remembered that he seemed to have had a very long dream.
"Hmm?" Gu Hao glanced at it casually, and his expression immediately changed.
Official robes, dark clothes, shoes and socks…
They were all on the ground.
Gu Hao nervously reached out to touch both sides of his body, but he didn't touch anyone. He immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, he lifted the brocade blanket, and his eyelids could not help but twitch.
An interesting story that everyone in the city knew appeared in his mind:
After the founding general Yuchi Gong got drunk, he would often run on the streets of Chang 'an.
"Don't tell me I did something similar?”
Gu Hao's face turned pale.
An image appeared in his mind, a beautiful naked figure leisurely strolling under the moon.
"No, no, I definitely don't have such a hobby.”
Gu Hao comforted himself and stretched out his legs nervously.
He wanted to check the soles of his feet.
If it was very dirty, then he might have really done something that he could not remember.
Fortunately, his feet were clean.
Gu Hao heaved a sigh of relief.
"Maybe she drank too much last night and felt that it was too hot to sleep, so she unknowingly took off her deep clothes.”
Gu Hao comforted himself.
Then, he didn't think too much about it. He picked up his clothes, shoes, and socks on the ground and hurriedly put them on.
After he was dressed, Gu Hao walked out of the room slowly.
This place was not an antique shop, nor was it a Weapon Refinement Ground.
He guessed that it should be Zhang Liang's residence.
Gu Hao opened the door quietly and stuck his head out. He found that his surroundings were quiet and there was no one around.
After some thought, Gu Hao decided to…leave without saying goodbye.
The main thing was that he was still a little worried that he might have done something bad after getting drunk last night.
If Zhang Liang witnessed it and saw him now, he would definitely mock him.
"Strange, why is there no one here?”
Gu Hao walked all the way to the gate of the mansion, but he did not meet a single person, which puzzled him.
When he arrived at the main entrance of the mansion and saw the servant dozing off, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Just now, a terrifying thought appeared in his mind: Last night, he went crazy with alcohol and killed Zhang Liang's entire family.
Just like Tsune Takeshi in the ninth-grade Sesame Official.
He slipped out of the mansion without alerting the servants.
Gu Hao heaved a sigh of relief.
"Sir, are you alright?"
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded from Gu Hao's right.
The coachman, Old Chen.
"I don't remember asking you to follow me last night, right?" Gu Hao looked at Old Chen and asked curiously.”
"I knew you didn't go back this morning, so I came here to wait." Elder Chen smiled.”
"That's very thoughtful of you." Gu Hao nodded.”
Elder Chen grinned. He glanced at Gu Hao's disheveled hair and said hesitantly,""Sir, your hair…you haven't taken care of it.”
Gu Hao was stunned.
He touched the back of his head.
As expected, her hair was draped over her shoulders.
"I haven't washed up yet. Let's talk when we get back.”
Gu Hao said.
"Oh, oh, okay. Please get on the carriage, my lord.”
The coachman, Old Chen, hurriedly said.
Not long after…
Gu Hao returned to the imperial city.
As soon as he entered the Weapon Refinement Ground, he saw Zhang Qianshi looking at the entrance eagerly.
When she saw him, Zhang Qianshi's originally lifeless eyes instantly lit up.
"My lord."
Zhang Qianshi quickly greeted Gu Hao as he approached.
Gu Hao nodded. He thought for a moment and said,"Get ready. I'll take you to see Zhang Shenzhi later."”
"Good, good, good." Zhang Qianshi was overjoyed.
When he arrived at the tent, Gu Hao saw Gail. Bagado.
"Prepare hot water. I want to bathe and change.”
Gu Hao instructed.
In the beginning, he was too paranoid to notice his own situation.
At this moment, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Gail Bagatou suppressed her doubts and nodded. She started to prepare hot water for Gu Hao.
If she was in an antique shop, she would have to boil water herself.
Fortunately, she was at the Weapon Refinement Ground.
Not long after…
A large bathtub appeared in Gu Hao's tent.
Gu Hao was puzzled as he played with the water.
"Did nothing really happen after I got drunk last night?”
Gu Hao tried hard to recall.
However, she only thought of some of the highlights of her beautiful dream last night.
Outside the tent…
Zhang Qianshi, who had already dressed up, came to Gail. Beside her, Bagatuo asked in confusion,""Daren is taking a bath, why don't you go in and serve him?”
Gail Bakaduo looked at Zhang Qianshi and didn't say anything.
In the eyes of outsiders, she was a mute.
"You can't do this. You're a maidservant bought by Daren. Daren has to serve you in all aspects.”Zhang Qianshi advised him earnestly," You're the only one by His Excellency's side now. If you're lazy and His Excellency buys other female servants in the future, you'll lose his favor.
I see that Daren and the princess are a couple. In the future, Daren will definitely not lack people by his side. If you don't work hard now, Daren might not want you in the future…"
Gail Bagado frowned.
He really wanted to retort,"Why didn't you go in?"
However, when she thought of Zhang Qianshi's tragic life, she couldn't bear to say it.
He could only sulk alone.
Actually, she didn't mind going in.
After all, from the moment she took off her veil in front of Gu Hao, she didn't mind anything happening between them.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so bold as to lie on Gu Hao's bed to warm it up last night.
However…
When she was cleaning up the official robe and dark clothes that Gu Hao had taken off, she smelled a strong smell of alcohol and a faint smell of rouge.
This made her inexplicably unhappy.
She even imagined Gu Hao's nightlife last night.
"Hurry up and go in. Don't be shy. There's always a first time.”
Zhang Qianshi urged.
Normally, she would not meddle in other people's business.
But today, she was very anxious and wanted to see her son as soon as possible.
Therefore, she urged Gail. Bagado.
He hoped that Gu Hao could bathe faster.
Gail Bagado sighed, knowing that she couldn't throw a tantrum.
After turning around and stepping in…
Zhang Qianshi was wandering outside, looking into the tent from time to time.
After fifteen minutes, Gu Hao walked out, feeling refreshed.
"Let's go."
Gu Hao said with a smile when he saw Zhang Qianshi.
"Oh, oh."
Zhang Qianshi heaved a sigh of relief.
………
The Court of Judicial Review was the central prison of the Great Tang. It was the place where the criminals of the central departments and important cases in the capital were held.
The Supreme Court Prison was behind the Supreme Court and was heavily guarded.
In the Yamen of the Supreme Court.
In the office of Sun Fujia, the official of the Supreme Court.
"Lord Shaoqing, the top scholar, Gu Hao, wishes to visit Zhang Shenzhi in the prison.”A warden of the Supreme Court came to report.
"Gu Hao is visiting Zhang Shenzhi?"
Sun Fujia was stunned.
As far as he knew, Zhang Shenzhi was personally sent to prison by Gu Hao.
"Yes, he also has someone with him. It seems to be Zhang Shenzhi's mother.”Prison Code said respectfully.
Sun Fujia was enlightened.
After yesterday's dismembering of the Turks, all the officials in the court basically knew that the top scholar Gu Hao hated evil and was quite kind.
"After all, we are classmates."
Sun Fujia thought to himself and did not think too much about it.
The main thing was that after he took over Zhang Shenzhi's case, Zhang Shenzhi had already been sentenced to beheading after autumn. All the crimes were written clearly in black and white.
"Let him in." Sun Fujia said.
"Yes." Yu Dian replied. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Sun Fujia say,
"In addition, if he wants to see Yang Zhengdao, there's no need to stop him, but I need to know what they're talking about.”
"Yes."
Prison Master replied respectfully.
………
Seeing Zhang Shenzhi again, Gu Hao was deeply moved.
"My son!"
"Mother…Mother, are you alright?"
The meeting between Zhang Shenzhi and Zhang Qianshi was filled with tears and trembling.
Gu Hao took a few glances at the mother and son, but he didn't disturb them. He quietly retreated.
After observing the prison for a while, Gu Hao pulled a jailer and asked,""Where is Yang Zhengdao?"
"…Over there." The jailer was stunned at first, then pointed to a cell in the south.
"Thank you."
Gu Hao thanked him and walked straight to Yang Zhengdao's cell.
"I knew that you would definitely come to see me.”
Yang Zhengdao sighed softly when he saw Gu Hao.
"What do you know? If I didn't bring Aunt Zhang here to see Zhang Shenzhi, I wouldn't be interested in seeing you.”
Gu Hao cursed.
"I vaguely saw you peeing your pants yesterday, so I came to take a look today.”
Gu Hao said leisurely.
Yang Zhengdao's face stiffened.
Yesterday, Su Chan 'Er had stabbed the Turkic Imperial Advisor Zhao Deyan to death in front of him, leaving him with quite a trauma and causing him to be extremely terrified.
But it was not to the point of peeing his pants.
"I've already thought so highly of you, but I didn't expect that I would still underestimate you.”
Yang Zhengdao said.
He gradually came back to his senses last night.
It could be said that the state preceptor, Zhao Deyan, was killed by Gu Hao.
First, they had imprisoned him for no reason, and then they had killed the Turks in the name of massacring the village.
Seeing that Li Shimin did not kill Zhao Deyan, he brought Su Chaner over and asked her to stab Zhao Deyan to death in front of Li Shimin.
All of this, in Yang Zhengdao's eyes, was audacious and calculated.
In his eyes, Gu Hao had already become the embodiment of the devil and wisdom.
"You're wrong. You're not underestimating me, you're just thinking too highly of me.”
Gu Hao looked at Yang Zhengdao and said slowly," If you didn't insist on killing me, none of this would have happened.”
Yang Zhengdao was silent.
From a certain point of view, all of this was indeed caused by him valuing Gu Hao too much, so he wanted to kill him.
But…
"Is it wrong to take preventive measures?"
Yang Zhengdao looked at Gu Hao and asked.
Confusion flashed across his face.
"Take preventive measures?" Gu Hao sneered and said," If you hadn't been so aggressive, how could I have become your hidden danger?
I've told you before, kings against kings, generals against generals!
If you want to restore the Great Sui Dynasty, your real opponent is Li Shimin. You don't even have the ability to see this…
To be honest, it's really a fool's dream for you to want to restore Great Sui.”
"Without you, the Great Tang would be much weaker.”Yang Zhengdao said calmly.
Gu Hao laughed in anger.
"What does it have to do with you whether I'm here or not?”
Gu Hao mocked," Do you really think you're King Sui? Who doesn't know that you're just a puppet?
Come to Chang 'an and learn from others?
Are you worthy?
Do you have that ability?
Did he think that destroying a crystal cup could affect the relationship between the Great Tang and the tribes of the Western Regions?
Ignorant and laughable!
Do you know what it means to surrender?
The tribes of the Western Regions had come to ask for surrender?
Even if the Great Tang pooped on their heads, they would endure it!
You don't even know what diplomacy is!
Did they think that by tricking them into using the crystal cup to prove the Great Tang's sincerity, they would really think that a small crystal cup could change their decision to surrender?
Behind them, the people of the various tribes were waiting for their news.
If they really wanted to surrender, how could a crystal cup change that?”
Yang Zhengdao's face turned pale as he asked coldly,"If the crystal cup is not important at all, why would your Majesty place so much importance on it?”
"Because he's stupid too," Gu Hao said slowly.”
The prison warden who was hiding next door and pretending to be a criminal eavesdropping was stunned.
Did he hear wrongly?
The scholar was calling the Emperor stupid?
Yang Zhengdao was stunned and asked blankly,"What did you just say?"
He thought he had heard wrong.
" Hmph!" Gu Hao snorted and said," I said he was an idiot. Not only did he make a mountain out of a molehill, but he also didn't believe me."
He had clearly told him the whereabouts of the Imperial Jade Seal, yet he did not believe it?
This is the first time I've seen such a stupid emperor.”
"Of course, I've only seen him as an emperor.”
Gu Hao added.
Yang Zhengdao was silent. For a moment…his mood was somewhat complicated.
He suddenly felt that if he had roped in this top scholar from the beginning, he might have been able to rope him into his camp.
"Don't you have any respect for your emperor?”
Yang Zhengdao could not help but ask.
Ever since he was young, he had heard his aunt say that the Emperor was the true ruler.
The people respected him, and the officials worshipped him!
However, after hearing Gu Hao's words, he felt that…the Emperor of the Tang Empire did not seem to have the dignity of a supreme being.
"Yes, I do." Gu Hao said indifferently. " For example, right now, I'm in awe of that stupid emperor's power. That's why I don't dare to open the prison door and kill you.”
"..." Yang Zheng said.
"But…you don't have to worry.”Gu Hao continued," Very soon, the more you want to kill me, the more you'll regret provoking me.”
Yang Zhengdao looked at Gu Hao and said slowly,"Would you believe me if I told you that I regret it now?”
Gu Hao smiled and said,"Regret what?”
"I should have tried to rope you in first."”
"It's not too late now." Gu Hao raised his eyebrows slightly.”
"We may not have met much, but I know you." Yang Zhengdao shook his head.”
"Oh? What do you know about me?" Gu Hao asked.
"You may be a scholar, but you don't have the slightest bit of soft-heartedness. He was decisive in killing, and his killing intent was even stronger than that of ordinary generals.
I've already attacked you, so you'll definitely think of ways to kill me.
Therefore, there is only one path in front of me.”
"Which way?" Gu Hao asked.
"Fight to the death!" Yang Zhengdao said coldly," You won't let me off, and I won't let you off either."
Only one of us can live!"
Gu Hao's heart turned cold, but he smiled faintly and said,""You're wrong. As long as you're willing, the grudge between us can be written off.”
"Oh? Is that so?" Yang Zhengdao looked at Gu Hao.
" The grudge between us is ultimately because that stupid emperor of the Tang Empire wanted the heirloom seal and the jade in your grandmother Empress Xiao's hands," said Gu Hao.
As long as you are willing to write a letter to Empress Xiao and ask her to send the jade over, the grudge between us can be written off.”
Yang Zhengdao smiled and was about to reply,'Do you think this is possible?'，His heart tightened.
A trap!
He did not mention the whereabouts of the heirloom seal. Gu Hao's words about the Heirloom Jade being with Empress Xiao were just a guess.
Even though he had guessed correctly.
"The Imperial Jade Seal is not with Grandmother. Even if I write this letter, you won't be able to get it.”Yang Zhengdao shook his head and said slowly.
"Not with Empress Xiao? Then you should write a letter to dispel my suspicions.”
Gu Hao said slowly," Do you dare to write it?”
Yang Zhengdao was silent.
"Actually, you didn't dare to write it, which further proves that the Heshi jade is indeed with Empress Xiao." Gu Hao continued.”
Yang Zhengdao's face was slightly gloomy.
"Do you have a son?" Gu Hao suddenly asked.
"I'm not married yet, so how can I have a son?" Yang Zhengdao said lightly.”
"Oh." Gu Hao nodded." That's good."”
"What do you mean?" Yang Zhengdao narrowed his eyes.
" I've been obsessed with the idea of ending the descendants of others recently," Gu Hao said slowly." I plan to bribe the jailers later and put some drugs in your food. Or I'll get them to torture you again. I'll make sure that the descendants of your Yang family are completely cut off."”
Yang Zhengdao's expression changed drastically.
Prison Dian, who was eavesdropping next door, could not help but feel a chill run down his spine.
"What a ruthless top scholar."
Prison Code thought.
Gu Hao looked down at Yang Zhengdao from above and said indifferently,"Now, I'll give you a chance.
Kneel down and kowtow to me three times, and I'll let you be a man for a few more days.
Otherwise, tonight at the latest…
Don't feel too wronged. I always take revenge on the same night.
" You sent Zhao Yicheng to assassinate me. It's been a few days. It's time for you to pay the price.”
Yang Zhengdao's face was pale and his fists were tightly clenched.
He was the King of Sui, how could he kneel and kowtow to someone?
"I'll count to three. If you don't kneel down and kowtow…I'll turn around and leave.”
Gu Hao said indifferently and began to count.
"One ~"
"Two."
"Three…"
As soon as he said the word 'three', Yang Zhengdao cowered.
He felt that dignity was very important!
Kneeling and kowtowing was a loss of dignity.
But if he couldn't be a man, he would lose his dignity for the rest of his life!
With a sullen face, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Gu Hao.
A faint smile flashed across Gu Hao's face.
Coward.
This was just the beginning.
"A wise man understands the times. You're not bad. I'll come and see you another day.”
Gu Hao sneered and turned to leave.
Yang Zhengdao kneeled on the ground and punched the ground with his fists.
"Ah ~!"
"Ah ~!"
"Ah ~!"
He roared angrily.
Helplessness, regret, resentment, despair…
Finally, he curled up in a corner.
He had completely lost the elegance of the Sui King.
