Chapter 89: Reciting a Poem
Li Hao has been locked up in Dali Temple for more than three months, and Li Shimin had no intention of releasing him at all. Li Hao was also very upset. He knew that he had performed this time a little bit, and he regretted it. Why should he beat Min Yun? He rushed into the class and beat Du He hard. Anyway, the unlucky child would only waste food and make feces when he lived in the world. He would not smoke or smoke.
On the 95th day he was imprisoned, Lu Yun came to the prison to visit him and told him a news that the emperor was going to have a draft.
Li Hao has been waiting for Li Shimin's draft, because this draft will be the most revolutionary draft in history. The queen of the generation Wu Zetian entered the palace through this draft, so Li Hao naturally paid special attention, so he has long reminded Lu Yun that once there is news of the draft, he will inform him immediately.
Lu Yun is not good at inquiring about news in the palace, but someone is responsible for this job, that is, the charlatan Liu. The charlatan Liu set up a stall in Chang'an to tell fortunes, and he is not bragging or shady. His professional skills are still good. He is very good at talking and gradually gained a reputation in Chang'an. Liu Banxian's signature becomes Liu Yixian. Not only that, many officials in the court are very superstitious about this and often come to him to test his official career and see Feng Shui. As long as he whispers a few words at will, he will immediately know some trends in the court.
Knowing that the emperor was about to give a draft, Li Hao frowned and paced back and forth in the cell. After thinking for a long time, he began to assign tasks: "Lu Yun, please ask Cheng Chumo to find out who is responsible for this draft. Be careful, you must not be arrogant. Whenever there is news, please inform me immediately."
"Yes." Lu Yun nodded his head and left in a hurry.
The next day, Lu Yun came to visit the prison again and told Li Hao that the Ministry of Revenue applied for the candidates for this draft, and the Ministry of Rites was responsible for the selection. However, after hearing the emperor issued an imperial edict, he specially ordered King Li Daozong of Jiangxia to organize the draft throughout the entire process.
"Li Daozong? It seems that he is not doing well. He actually started working as a mother-sang." Li Hao scratched his head and muttered, then said, "You can find out when will the list of candidates for the Ministry of Revenue be sent to the Ministry of Revenue and find a way to get me a copy."
"This..." Lu Yun was immediately embarrassed, "I am just a ranger, not a thief. Besides, the list must be extremely strict. Even if it is a thief, I'm afraid I can't get it."
Li Hao lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "Then this way, you pay close attention to the progress of the draft. The application list will definitely be handled by Li Daozong. As long as Li Daozong has seen the list, you will go to Li Daozong's mansion and tell him... I want to see him. If he refuses to come, you will tell him that as long as he comes, the money he owes me before will be written off."
Lu Yun glared at him and asked in surprise: "Does King Jiangxia actually owe you money?"
"Isn't it possible?" Li Hao raised his head with a look of stingy.
Five days later, Li Daozong came to the Dali Temple Prison in casual clothes to visit Li Hao. Although he was here to visit the prison, his expression was not very friendly. When he met, he looked disgusted and asked in a disgusting tone: "What's the matter with me?"
Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, don't be fine."
"Tell me quickly if you have something to say, and let me go if you have nothing to do!" Li Daozong obviously disliked Li Hao.
Li Hao sighed depressedly: "Oh, Lord Li is really impatient. We haven't seen each other for many days. Isn't it good to exchange greetings with each other? It's bad to go straight to the topic as soon as we come."
Li Daozong resisted the urge to slap him, gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Do you believe it or not, I will go in and give you a whip now."
Li Hao grinned and said, "Okay, since Lord Li wants to slap me so much, it's not impossible. A whip of 5,000 slabs. As long as you can afford the money, I can let you slap it. I will lose with a scream."
Li Daozong knew that he was messing with him, so why did he get fooled him? He snorted coldly and said, "If you don't talk about anything, then I will leave."
"Okay, let's talk about it now, okay." Li Hao rolled his eyes and muttered in dissatisfaction, "I'm still my father-in-law, I won't give me any face."
Li Daozong's eyebrows were twitching. It was so reasonable for this guy to keep making jokes. He really wanted to suck him. Think about it carefully. It seems that a whip of 5,000 jin seems to be worth it...
Li Hao sat cross-legged in front of the prison door and asked casually: "I heard that Lord Li is busy helping His Majesty pimp recently... Cough cough... Draft girl?"
Li Daozong sneered: "Although you are in prison, you are quite well-informed."
"Give me a lot of awards." Li Hao waved his hand and smiled softly, and suddenly he curled his smile again, "If you ask you, you should answer it carefully, praise me, don't you know, can't help but praise me?"
Faced with Li Hao's crazy words and deeds, Li Daozong's eyebrows were thrusting even harder. He hesitated for a long time, and finally resisted the urge to suck Li Hao and said, "That's right, I am indeed helping His Majesty to select a girl."
"Tsk tsk tsk..." Li Hao smiled again, "This is a beautiful woman. There are so many beauties, the emperor hasn't seen them yet, you can touch them enough..."
"Bastard!" Li Daozong could no longer hold it back and kicked Li Hao. Fortunately, Li Hao reacted quickly and suddenly dodged away and hugged Li Daozong's feet.
The situation was awkward. Li Daozong put his foot into the gap in the prison door. Li Hao hugged him and said bluntly that if Li Hao had a grudge against him, he could immediately fold his legs into two sections with a little force.
"What are you doing? Let go!" Li Daozong was startled and shouted angrily.
The voice here alarmed the prison officers in the distance. The two prison officers came over and asked, "What happened?"
Li Hao glared at the tiger's eyes: "Get out!"
Seeing this, the two prison officials hurriedly ran away in shame. The gods fought, but they mortals dared not participate.
"Bastard! Let go!" Li Daozong glared and scolded angrily.
Li Hao smiled wickedly and said, "Mr. Li, next, I want to ask you something. You can answer me honestly. Remember, be honest, otherwise your leg will be broken when I get excited and my hands shake."
"You...you dare!"
Li Hao looked up at the roof of the cell and secretly pulled it hard in his hand. Li Daozong immediately screamed in pain.
Li Hao only took a moment and returned to the same state. He was telling Li Daozong with his actions: I am really brave!
"What do you want to ask!" Li Daozong was helpless and began to compromise.
"It's actually just a small problem." Li Hao gestured with his hands and asked with a smile, "Am there any girl from Jingzhou who came from this talent show, whose surname is Wu."
"Jingzhou? The surname is Wu?" Li Daozong frowned and thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, among the beautiful girls this time, there are no ones from Jingzhou."
"Are you sure?"
"Sure."
"No lie?"
"No lie."
"Do you dare to swear? If you lie, you will have no son!"
Li Daozong was sweating wildly when he heard this. What kind of garbage poison oath is this? It is so insulting. Besides, his son has been born long ago and has a ***. Since that's the case, he is afraid of what he is afraid of. He snorted coldly: "Of course, he dares to swear. If I lie, I will not give birth to a son."
"Okay." Li Hao let go of his legs, clapped his hands, raised his eyebrows, and said, "You don't have to pay back your ten thousand coins, you can leave."
Li Daozong was about to scold him, but suddenly he heard that he didn't have to pay back ten thousand yuan. His heart suddenly felt much smoother and he couldn't scold him anymore. However, he still had to express his anger. How to express it? Humph! It's a must to snort coldly at this time.
After sending Li Daozong away, Li Hao began to ponder in the cell alone: "It makes no sense. Didn't it mean that Wu Yu entered the palace in the eleventh year of Zhenguan? Why was she not on the list? Is there something wrong with history..."
Li Hao was puzzled, but he didn't have much time to think about it. Since the list was decided, it was not far from the day of selection, so he had to hurry up.
But he is now in prison, and even if he wants to mess with the wind and rain, he is powerless. Just when he is at a loss, he accidentally saw the paper and pen on the table, and a light of inspiration flashes in his mind. There is a way!
Recently, he was so bored in prison that he practiced calligraphy when he had nothing to do, so there were paper and pen on the table. The reason why he saw paper and pen was inspired by it was because his method was related to writing and writing. Yes, he was going to write poetry.
What is the connection between writing poetry and Wu Zhi entering the palace? On the surface, there is no connection for half a cent, but Li Hao knew that since Empress Changsun’s funeral, Li Shimin has been sending people to stare at him secretly. Some people were staring at him when he went to Jingzhou, and after he came back, he made a big fuss about the Imperial College. Now that he is in jail, there are still people staring at him. How could he know that someone is staring at him? Of course, it was not what he discovered, but Lu Yun discovered. As a wanderer who is walking in the world, and he is also a master. If he is followed and cannot detect it, it would be useless to spend so many years.
Since Li Shimin has been sending people to stare at him, he might as well write a poem or a poem praising Wu Yan. This poem will definitely be passed on to Li Shimin's desk. As long as Li Shimin became interested in Wu Yan in the poem, Li Hao's plan will be successful.
Li Hao dipped his pen ink and began to brainstorm, looking for what were among the thousands of poems he recited to praise a woman's beauty. Not to mention, there was really one, Wu Pingyi's "The Mission's Little Life", but the name of this poem had to be changed. Li Hao pondered for a moment, and wrote the title of the poem "Zeng Yao Man Wu Zhao" on paper. Next is the poem: "There is a banshee who is beautiful, Pei returns to the Meishui River in Xiang. Du Fang in the water, who will pick him? The gourd ginger has white teeth, and the two moths frown on green eyebrows. The red face is like a lotus, and the plain skin is like a solid fat. It is graceful and elegant, light and uncontrollable. He has been proud of his peerless colors and relies on his beautiful posture."
This poem is actually not only so short, but the latter part is not suitable, so he cut it off. As long as the first half is written, he put the poem in an envelope and whispered: "Come on, send me a letter!"
The prison head came over reluctantly, Li Hao handed him the letter and said, "Take it to my mansion and hand it over to the butler Du***, and ask him to send someone to the Duke's Mansion of Yingjun, Jingzhou, and hand it to the second lady Wu Zi."
The prisoner said, "Uncle, the villain hasn't read a few years ago, and I'm afraid I'll forget the address. Can you write the address on the envelope?"
Li Hao thought about it and thought it was right. In the future, the express delivery form in the world would also be written with the address and the signing person, so he wrote the address again, saying that Wu Yu had personally opened it, and then handed it over to the prison head, who left happily.
However, this letter did not arrive in Jingzhou, and it was not even possible to leave Chang'an. One hour later, the letter appeared on Li Shimin's desk. In fact, this was exactly the result Li Hao wanted.
