Chapter 745 Chapter 764: Changsun Wuji Visits Prison
"Eh..." Li Hao hesitated for a moment in embarrassment on purpose, and said with a dry smile, "Your Majesty, I don't know whether you are in a party or not, but the influence of Lord Changsun in the court is definitely this." Thumb, which seemed to be praising Changsun Wuji, was actually discrediting him. If Changsun Wuji was here, he would definitely have the urge to strangle him to death.

Li Zhi frowned when he heard the words. Obviously, Li Hao's words had an effect. When he was still the crown prince, Li Shimin had reminded him many times that the formation of cliques is the most unforgivable thing. All officials who exercise power start from forming cliques. of.

Since Li Shimin has repeatedly mentioned orders, how can Li Zhi take it lightly? When he heard that Changsun Wuji formed a party for personal gain, he naturally frowned. He recalled the scene where Changsun Wuji forced him to order Li Hao to be recalled. Do you start?

Changsun Wuji was a veteran of the three dynasties. He was his father's right-hand man and his own uncle. He really didn't want to touch him. Even if his father was alive, as long as Changsun Wuji didn't make any fatal mistakes, he wouldn't want to touch him. Besides, with his benevolent nature, he was also reluctant to touch Zhangsun Wuji, which made him very embarrassed.

Li Hao knew that Li Zhi had already listened to his own words, and he didn't expect Li Zhi to overthrow Changsun Wuji now. His purpose was just to make Li Zhi distrust his eldest grandson and distrust his eldest grandson, which was enough, so he hurried Changing the topic, he said: "Your Majesty, you need to discuss with the eldest grandson about accepting Wu Meiniang into the palace, instead of asking the minister for advice."

Li Zhi nodded, stood up with a bad complexion, and said: "I know, I am eager to come back to see you, I hurried back from Ganye Temple, I have not returned to the palace yet, I am a little tired, I must have accumulated a lot these days There is no review of the memorial, and I will be busy for a while, so I will go back to rest first."

"Should be." Li Hao got up and cupped his hands, "National affairs are important, but your majesty's body is equally important. Only with a good body can you work on state affairs. Your majesty, the boxing technique that I taught you should not be slackened, and it needs to be practiced every day. , in order to strengthen the body and prevent all diseases from invading.”

"I almost forgot if you didn't tell me." Li Zhi sighed with a wry smile, "Since I ascended the throne, there have been many affairs, and I really haven't practiced boxing anymore. Don't worry, I will practice boxing every morning from now on. No slack."

Li Hao nodded with a smile: "That's good. If you practice more boxing, you will be less likely to teach the imperial physician."

Li Zhi looked at Li Hao with a complicated expression, and suddenly stretched out his hand to pat Li Hao's shoulder, and sighed in a long voice: "Oh...you still care about me the most."

Seeing his sad face, Li Hao couldn't help feeling a little distressed. He knew that Li Zhiding was worried about his eldest grandson Wuji's clique. Although he was the emperor now, he no longer had a caring person around him. Li Shimin is like Li Shimin, a lonely family. Li Shimin has a strong heart and can endure this supreme loneliness, but Li Zhi is so emotional and sexual, can he really endure it?
Fortunately, Li Zhi was lucky. He met Li Hao. Li Hao didn't put so much importance on hierarchy and rules like people in this era. Moreover, Li Hao was smart and firmly grasped the bottom line of imperial power. He would never cross it. Li Zhi is the prince When he and Li Zhi were friends, and became the emperor, he can also be friends with Li Zhi, but there will be a gap, it is not as casual as before, and many things cannot be said. There is a board, and the two of them are separated by a piece of glass. What is the difference between the two? Through the glass, if the two have a high tacit understanding, even if they can't say a lot, a look can let the other know their own feelings. Mind.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry." Li Hao said, "If you have any troubles, I will always be behind you to relieve your worries, and will always be there."

Li Zhi nodded vigorously, patted Li Hao's shoulder again, and said, "Take care, I will meet you in court in three days, and I will go back to the palace first."

"Respectfully send off the emperor." Li Hao saluted and sent off respectfully, and he straightened up after Li Zhi's figure disappeared.

This is the estrangement. There is a huge identity gap between good friends, which is the estrangement, but Li Hao and Li Zhi are both temperamental people, and they silently ignore these differences in their hearts. All the etiquette is just to prevent outsiders from criticizing, just like In the future world, two good friends who used to work together, one of them climbed up to become the boss. As long as the other person grasps the sense of propriety, public is public, private is private, although it is incomparable with before, but everyone can still be happy play, that's all.

When Li Zhi left the Dali Temple prison, he took a group of Jinwu guards dressed in casual clothes back to the Taiji Palace. Before Li Zhi arrived at the Taiji Palace, Changsun Wuji received a report from the spies that the emperor had visited Li Hao, and It is the prison of Dali Temple that went directly after returning from Ganye Temple.

After hearing the news, Changsun Wuji, who was playing chess, frowned, dropped the pieces in his hand, got up and paced and sighed: "Our emperor trusts Li Hao too much, this is not a good thing."

Xu Jingzong clasped his hands and asked: "My lord, do you think there is still hope for bringing down Li Hao this time?"

"Who knows." Changsun Wuji said leisurely, "Do your best and obey the destiny, or, the old man should go meet Li Hao for a while."

In the evening, Changsun Wuji came to the prison of Dali Temple wearing a Confucian shirt, walked all the way outside Li Hao's cell, Changsun Wuji turned his head and said to the jailer: "You go and watch outside, the old man has a chat with King Qiongnan. "The jailer took the order to retreat.

Li Hao was concentrating on practicing calligraphy at the table. When he heard the voice, he raised his head and burst into laughter. He put down his pen and walked to the prison bar. He looked at Changsun Wuji and said with a smile, "Let Master Changsun come to visit me. What a face, haha."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Even the emperor has come to visit you, so what is this old man?"

Li Hao chuckled, and said: "Master Changsun, don't stand outside, come in, sit down and chat, my prison cell is very clean."

His cell was indeed very clean. The floor was covered with camel hair carpets. Toilets, tables, chairs, cabinets, and beds were all in place. It was the standard configuration of an inn, and someone came to clean it every day. Could it be unclean?

Changsun Wuji chuckled twice and said: "Forget it, I know what kind of virtue you Li Hao is, if I go in, if you give me a punch in a fit of anger, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this old bone." live."

Li Hao laughed when he heard the words: "Master Changsun, the older you are, the bolder you are, the younger you are. You see, your hair and beard are all white, and half of your body is buried in the ground. Why are you so afraid of death? Maybe you won't be able to wake up tomorrow." .”

Changsun Wuji's facial muscles twitched wildly when he heard the words. Old people are most jealous of others saying such things. Li Hao wants to poke at his sore spots. It's very unkind. Can he not be angry? It's just because of his face and demeanor. It didn't happen.

Li Hao also saw that Changsun Wuji forcibly suppressed his anger, grinned, and suddenly walked to the prison door, opened it, and walked out. Seeing this, Changsun Wuji took a step back in surprise, and stared at Li Hao with wide eyes: "Your cell door... is unlocked?"

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "The lock is broken, and Dali Temple's funds are tight, so let's make do with it."

"There's no reason for that!" Changsun Wuji was so angry when he heard the words, he couldn't bear it anymore, although he knew that Li Hao's being imprisoned in Dali Temple was just a formality, but it was too perfunctory, and the prison door wouldn't open Lock, isn't that unreasonable.

"Master Changsun, don't get excited." Li Hao stepped forward and grabbed Changsun Wuji's arm and dragged him into the cell. Changsun Wuji was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out, feeling as if he had been taken away by a tiger I feel that Li Hao is young and strong, and he is a jerk. He has no rules and doesn't play cards according to common sense. If he beats him in the cell, what should he do? If he beats himself to death or becomes disabled, Based on the relationship between Li Zhi and Li Hao, I believe that Li Hao will be dismissed from office and exiled at most, and he will never be executed. Li Hao is so rich, and he is still doing well after leaving the officialdom, but he is going to report to Lord Yan. It's not worth it. He feels scared when he thinks about it, and wants to call someone, but now that everyone has left, he might not be able to hear him, which is very embarrassing.

"Master Changsun, why are you shaking?" Li Hao pulled Changsun Wuji to the table, feeling Changsun Wuji's hands trembling.

Changsun Wuji naturally couldn't say that he was afraid, he could only say: "As you get older, your hands will naturally tremble. When you grow old in the future, you may not be better than the old man."

"Hehe, that's right." Li Hao sneered, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Changsun, I won't beat you, because I'm a clean freak, which means I like to be clean." He wiped his hand with a rag, and it was the hand that touched Changsun Wuji just now.

Changsun Wuji was secretly furious when he heard the words, Li Hao was calling him dirty, since he was almost beaten by Xue Rengui in the Tai Chi Hall last time, he suddenly became less courageous, now Li Hao is sitting in front of him, and there is no outsider When he was there, he was afraid that Li Hao would hit him. Even if he was angry in his heart, he didn't dare to attack him, but he couldn't lose with his mouth. He also sneered and said, "Wipe your hands with a rag, you really like to clean, this old man has learned."

Li Hao sat down on the stool, and said calmly: "Yes, because my hands touched something dirty, dirtier than a rag, I can only use a rag to wipe my hands."

Changsun Wuji couldn't find anything to say to him, but he couldn't lose his momentum, so he also sat down at the table and looked at Li Hao.

After looking at each other for a while, Li Hao suddenly shook his head and sighed.

Changsun Wuji asked, "Why are you sighing?"

Li Hao said: "I sigh for you."

Changsun Wuji sneered and teased when he heard the words: "You are sitting in the cell by yourself, and you are worrying about the old man."

"My eldest grandson's words are outrageous." Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "Looking back at the time, the boy just came to Chang'an, and he was unfamiliar with the place. He was a young boy, and the eldest grandson took care of me a lot. My crown ceremony , Your eldest grandson is also here to watch the ceremony, and I am able to achieve what I am today, thanks to my eldest grandson."

What these words said... Changsun Wuji was very upset when he heard it, and thought to himself: "If I knew that you kid is against this old man, I should have killed you in the first place."

Li Hao continued: "It's a pity, the sea has changed, time has changed, the moon is the same as the year, and the people are not the people of the past. The current eldest grandson is no longer the humerus minister who is loyal to the emperor and seeks the country, and I am no longer the naughty one. Mischievous, ignorant young man who makes troubles all day long, my eldest grandson, do you think I should sigh?"
