Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 78: Chapter 80
Li Hao had already guessed that he would be imprisoned, so when Empress Changsun died, he gathered all the family members together and told them that he was likely to go to prison. The family listened All were shocked.Li Hao comforted them in time, and told them that the emperor beat him, and when Li Shimin was in a better mood, he would be released.

From that day on, incense tables were placed in the middle courtyard of Li Hao’s house every day, waiting for the imperial decree to arrive at any time. On the morning of the New Year’s Eve, Huang An came to Li Hao’s house aggressively to announce the decree. Li Hao was very calm, and so was the family. Afterwards, not only did they not cry because Li Hao was going to jail, but they all looked at Li Hao in surprise. It was a look of admiration, a prophet, can you not worship? This weird atmosphere made Huang An a little scared: Are the people in the Li Mansion crazy?

Li Hao was imprisoned by Dali Temple. It was still the luxury cell last time. It was cleaned very clean, but the camel hair carpet was removed, and the bed was gone. It was replaced with a hard board. The table, chair, toilet and bed were still there. A camel's hair quilt.

Li Hao smiled knowingly when he saw this, shook his head and sighed softly: "This Dali Temple Minister Yao Shouzheng's official skills are extraordinary. I have been demoted, and he can still see that I have not lost power. Anyway, fortunately, he is more awake. If it happens to me, I’m afraid I’m going to live a hard life.” After he finished speaking, he picked up the camel-hair quilt and lay down on the bunk, and slept soundly.

Although the camel hair quilt was warm, it was really cold in Guanzhong in winter, and sleeping on a hard board, no matter how warm the quilt was, it was useless. After a while, he woke up from the cold.

Coincidentally, a jailer came to bring him dinner at this time, Li Hao hurriedly asked: "So who, can you give me an extra mattress, it's too cold, I can't sleep at all."

It is estimated that Yao Shouzheng explained something to them. The jailer treated Li Hao very well, so he nodded quickly and said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask the Shangguan."

Not long after, the jailer came back and said, "Li Hao, your family is here to visit you." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a rush of footsteps, and saw Qin Su holding a food box and hugging a wool blanket, Hurriedly came to the prison door, seeing Li Hao, Qin Su couldn't bear it any longer, tears came out of his eyes: "My lord, you have suffered..."

Li Hao walked over, wiped away her tears through the cell door, and said with a smile on his face: "What kind of suffering can I suffer? Look, I don't lack anything here. I eat and sleep every day, sleep and eat, and live fast." , you know, young master, I am lazy."

"Today is New Year's Eve, but you are locked up here..." Qin Su wept incoherently.

Li Haobian pursed his lips, opened his eyes wide and said: "Then, if you cry again, you will not be allowed to see me in the future, and it will make my young master feel bad."

"Su'er stop crying." Qin Su hurriedly wiped away her tears when she heard the words, raised her head and said, "Master, watch the New Year's Eve tonight, and our whole family will pray for you."

"There's no need to pray." Li Hao said with a smile, "Remember to tell Du Hong, just like last year, everyone will be given a lucky red envelope, oh, by the way, if they ask you to play poker, don't play with them , They are trying to cheat you out of money."

Qin Su looked at him blankly, completely unaware of what he was talking about, he could understand the lucky red envelopes, but he couldn't make any sense of poker.

Seeing the cashmere blanket and food box in her hand, Li Hao said happily, "You delivered this blanket in time, and I happen to be short of a mattress." He took the blanket from Qin Su after speaking, and then asked, "What did you bring?" Give me something to eat?"

Qin Su said: "They are all your favorite dishes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fried shredded pork with green peppers..." She opened the food box as she spoke, and handed in all the dishes.

Li Hao hurriedly started to eat, the weather is so cold, if you don’t eat any more, it will be cold later, after a while, Li Hao burped and said: "Oh, don't say it, eating in prison is more delicious than at home, really interesting."

Although Li Hao kept a relaxed and cheerful tone as much as possible, Qin Su still frowned and asked leisurely, "My lord, when will you go home?"

Li Hao smiled and said: "Don't worry, let them rest assured, it won't be long, maybe two or three months, or ten days or so, you just stay at home and wait for me."

"Well, I'll wait for you." When Qin Su said this, she bowed her head in embarrassment, her cheeks flushed.

Early the next morning, Shi Quan Wanji, the head of Prince Wu's office, went to pay a visit to Li Ke, the king of Wu. After a while, Quan Wanji suddenly said: "Your Highness, I can see that you have the heart to help the world, but it is not so easy to help the world."

Li Ke squinted his eyes when he heard the words. He didn't expect Quan Wanji to say such words to himself during the Chinese New Year. Obviously, Quan Wanji didn't come to pay New Year's greetings this time, so he spread his hands and said, "What you said is very true, but Ke thinks he has the talent to help the world..."

"However, Your Highness does not have that qualification yet." Quan Wanji interrupted him suddenly, and he used such hurtful words, very mercilessly. However, what he said was the truth. After all, the current crown prince is Li Chengqian. It's not him, Li Ke.

Li Ke was furious when he heard the words, he stood up and yelled angrily: "Are you here to mock the king!"

"Of course not." Quan Wanji said solemnly, "Your Highness, please be quiet, and listen to what I have to say."

Li Ke saw that his attitude was serious, and he didn't seem to be playing with himself, so he suppressed his anger and sat down angrily: "Say it!"

Quan Wanji said: "Since ancient times, a king can have no talents, but he must know how to know people and how to employ them. Xiang Yu and Liu Bang are a lesson from the past."

Li Ke snorted coldly when he heard the words: "This king naturally knows the truth, but this king emulates the father and the emperor, is it wrong?"

"That's naturally the icing on the cake." Quan Wanji said, "However, Your Highness, do you have talents by your side?"

Li Ke was taken aback when he heard the words, frowned and thought about it carefully, he was really special, so he asked: "Are you asking me to recruit talents?"

Quan Wanji shook his head slowly: "If so, you are digging your own grave, and His Majesty will not just sit idly by."

Li Ke nodded slowly, and said depressedly: "Then what should I do?"

Quan Wanji suddenly stretched his head forward a little, and asked in a low voice: "What do you think of Li Hao, Your Highness?"

Li Hao was stunned for a moment, and said: "I have never seen this person before, but I heard that this person has some talents. First, he quelled the plague with a piece of medicine, and then went out with the army to capture Fuyun himself. During the drought in Guanzhong , he also contributed the blueprint of the wind-powered waterwheel, and Qu Yuanli, oh, I heard that this person's poetry is also excellent."

Quan Wanji twitched his beard and said: "What Your Highness sees is still a little shallow, and I only want to say one thing. This Li Hao has business cooperation with Lu Guogong and Zhao Guogong."

Li Ke asked puzzledly: "So what?"

Seeing that he hadn't understood what he meant, Quan Wanji was quite disappointed, and continued to dial: "Your Highness, what kind of people Zhao Guogong and Lu Guogong are, His Highness knows better than your servants, and their vision is so high, His Highness also knows that ordinary people can into their eyes?"

Li Ke squinted his eyes and said, "So, this Li Hao is a rare talent?"

"Exactly!" Quan Wanji nodded vigorously, and said, "Now Li Hao is in prison, and the matter was provoked by the king of Wei. In fact, to put it bluntly, Li Hao's imprisonment this time is really wronged. Presumably it is because His Majesty is in a bad mood. , or to beat him one or two, it is estimated that he will be released in a short time."

Li Ke thought for a while and asked, "Then how should the king get to know Li Hao?"

"There is no need to get acquainted." Quan Wanji said, "It is better to give charcoal in the snow than icing on the cake. After a month or two, when His Majesty's mood improves, His Highness can find a time to ask His Majesty to release Li Hao. If Li Hao knows about it, he will definitely feel sorry for His Majesty." Thank you, in this way, Your Highness has formed a good relationship with Li Hao."

Li Ke heard the words and thought about it carefully, then nodded happily: "What you said is very true, this good relationship has been formed, but this king has never met Li Hao, and my father will not be suspicious."

"exactly."

Almost at the same time, Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, was also receiving guests, and the guest he received was actually Changsun Wuji. The content of the conversation between the two was also related to Li Hao. , the central idea is basically the same as what Quan Wanji said.

It seems that Changsun Wuji also knew that he had little hope of winning over Li Hao, so he could only let Li Chengqian take the lead. After all, Li Chengqian was the crown prince, and he would be the one who would sit on the throne in the future. He believed that it was impossible for Li Hao not to give Li Chengqian face.

If Li Hao knew what he was thinking, he would have sneered three times: "Prince Chu? The future emperor? Come on, take the pen and paper for you, and you can write the following history. Can you not be funny, old man, you Standing in the wrong team, do you know that the future emperor is Li Zhi, that Xiaozheng, too good, I have read history!"

Because of the national mourning, this new year was lifeless, and Li Hao was even worse. Although he liked to sleep in during the years in prison, he couldn't sleep for twenty hours a day. His head hurt from sleeping, but he didn't What can you do while sleeping? There is nothing to do in prison.

It would be boring to be someone else, but who is Li Hao? He is a time traveler, and there are many tricks to pass the time, such as playing poker.

He asked Qin Su to bring poker cards when he came for the second time, but it was Turandot who came the second time. Although Turandot had always had a prejudice against Li Hao, she was Li Hao's legitimate wife anyway. I came to see it. Turandot brought him playing cards. Li Hao’s life changed immediately. Whenever he was bored, he would pull those wardens to play poker. At the beginning, the wardens refused. , because gambling is strictly prohibited in the prison, but Li Hao's bets are too tempting, as long as he loses, he will pay double.

Fighting the Landlord is the simplest game in poker. As long as you don't have a brain, you can basically learn it. The jailer didn't expect that a few small cards are so fun, and the more you play, the more addictive. So, after more than a month, everyone Almost all the wardens owed Li Hao dozens of gambling debts. Only then did they realize that they had fallen into Li Hao's pit again, and they regretted it too late.
