Chapter 91: Poetry Crazy Part 1
"Hiss--" Li Hao took a breath and blinked wildly, "Will your father say I kidnap the ignorant girl, and then brought a knife to chop me up and feed the dog?"
Li Ping shook his head and laughed: "No, your meat is too smelly and you won't even eat it."
"Oh!" Li Hao raised his eyebrows and smiled, "The little girl is close to Zhu Zhe Chi, and she has learned to be a black man from me."
"I'm a black man who is close to the ink." Li Ping grinned, revealing her white teeth like jade.
I have to admit that Li Ping has a strong learning ability. After going to Tuyuhun with Li Hao, he immediately learned Li Hao's speaking style. To put it bluntly, she was led by Li Hao, which also indirectly shows that Li Hao's pollution ability is very strong.
Generally, visiting prisons has time limits, but Li Hao is an exception. Li Ping chatted with Li Hao for two hours in prison, and it was dark. Li Hao was worried that it would be unsafe for her to go home alone at night, so he specially asked the prison chief to arrange a carriage to take her back. The prison chief was not very willing at first. When he learned that Li Ping was the daughter of Li Daozong, King of Jiangxia, without saying a word, he quickly got a carriage and sent two prison officials to escort her home.
When Li Ping returned home, the house was in chaos. When the butler brought her to Li Daozong, Li Daozong's eyes were so excited that he still raised his face and stared at him and shouted angrily: "Stupid girl, kneel down!"
Li Ping was so scared that he stuck out his tongue, lowered his eyebrows and knelt down with his eyes. Without waiting for Li Daozong to ask, he admitted his mistake first: "Dad, my daughter is wrong, my daughter shouldn't go out privately."
Li Daozong was about to get angry, but when he heard this, he suddenly felt choked, and his anger was blocked in his throat and couldn't say it. It was so uncomfortable.
He took a few long breaths, tried to calm down, and then asked angrily: "Where did you go today?"
"I haven't gone anywhere." Li Ping blinked quickly, "just wandering around the street."
"Don't blink!" Li Daozong didn't know why, but now he was angry when he saw someone blinking quickly and wanted to slap people.
He suddenly felt that Li Ping's blinking action looked like a person. His mind flipped a few times and suddenly glared and shouted: "Have you gone to see Li Hao?"
Li Ping stared at Li Daozong in surprise: "Dad, are you a clairvoyant? How did you know?"
"What are you going to see that little bastard?" Li Daozong was furious.
Li Ping rolled his eyes and pouted, "The house is too boring, so I want to go out for a walk, and I happened to walk to Dali Temple. I heard that Li Hao was locked up inside, so I went in and checked him."
"By the way?" Li Daozong glared at her fiercely and snorted coldly, "I'm afraid you're going to see him specifically. Do you like that bastard, right?"
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Li Ping was so embarrassed that his face turned red. He lowered his head shyly, and he didn't know where to put his hands. He could only tease the corners of his clothes bored. How could this shy look escape Li Daozong's eyes? He was as smart as Li Daozong, and could see his daughter's thoughts at a glance.
"Ah..." Li Daozong was silent for a long time, raised his head and sighed, thinking to himself, "It turns out that there is a certainty in the dark. Since they are in love, I agree to Li Hao's proposal again... Oh, forgot, although this bastard's virtue is a little worse and a bit suspicious, he is a versatile talent in civil and military affairs, and he is still very promising in the future. I just hope that he will not let Ping'er be wronged."
As soon as he thought of this, Li Daozong helped her stand up, calmed her tone and said, "Li Hao is a life-saving grace for his father. You can see him, but you have to know that it is very dangerous for you, a girl, to walk alone outside."
"It's okay, Dad, I'm dressed up as a man." Li Ping said as he walked around proudly, showing off his men's clothing. Unfortunately, her slightly raised breasts completely betrayed her.
Li Daozong sighed helplessly and said in an unquestionable tone: "You can only visit him every half a month from now on. At that time, my father will send someone to escort you. A daughter's house looks like this... How can she behave!"
"Really?" Li Ping's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he walked up to hug Li Daozong's neck and shouted, "I knew that my father was the best for me."
Seeing Li Ping look so happy, Li Daozong felt very uncomfortable. Perhaps every father with a daughter felt this way, because their hearts would eventually be taken away by another man, so they saw that every young man in the world was a bad person. I am afraid that Li Daozong did not like Li Hao was also a factor in it.
Half a month later, the talent show ended, Wu Wei was successfully selected and stood out among all the beautiful girls. Li Shimin personally summoned him. When Li Shimin met Wu Wei, he found that this girl was charming and was specially named Mei Niang. From now on, Wu Mei Niang was officially born.
When Li Hao heard the news in prison, he breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that his poem played a role and let Wu Meiniang enter the palace. In fact, his poem not only did not play any role, but instead made Li Shimin very unhappy with him, otherwise he would have been released from prison long ago.
Less than a month after Wu Meiniang entered the palace, Li Shimin promoted her to talent and ordered her to serve her. She was so arrogant that other beautiful girls were envious. Some concubines in the palace were secretly jealous when they saw this, and they all said that there was a little fairy around Li Shimin.
Wu Meiniang was in a state of great success, but Li Hao was particularly pitiful because he had been in jail for four months this time, and he even doubted whether he had been forgotten.
Li Hao couldn't hold it anymore. If he continued like this, he had to sit jail. He sent Du Hong to send a message to Cheng Yaojin and asked him to save him from prison. However, Cheng Yaojin's reply only had one word, wait.
"Waiting for your sister!" Li Hao screamed depressedly, tearing the letter to pieces. He wanted to ask Changsun Wuji for help, but in the end he gave up the idea. He must not owe the favors of the old fox Changsun Wuji, because he can't pay it back.
Since asking for help is useless, he will save himself. Li Hao began to write poems in prison, and then asked Lu Yun to take them to the places where literati and his sons gathered to sell poems. Two jin of money is a poem, with a fair price and no deception. In just ten days, Lu Yun sold hundreds of poems, and Li Hao's reputation was at its peak in the literary world of Chang'an.
Such things naturally could not escape Li Shimin's eyes. He happened to have not heard of Li Hao for a long time. Suddenly, he heard that Li Hao's poems became famous in Chang'an. He was curious and sent someone to copy all Li Hao's poems back and piled them thickly on Long'an.
Li Shimin read one by one. Every time he read one by one, he loved Li Hao more. In the Tang Dynasty, poetry and prose were a proof of his talent, because people in the Tang Dynasty believed that writing poetry not only requires a very high literary attainment, but also requires a breath far higher than that of ordinary people. This kind of energy is illusory and indescribable. As for how to view and understand it, it is a matter of opinion and wise.
Li Hao wrote hundreds of poems within ten days, which caused a sensation in Chang'an. Gradually, the price of Li Hao's manuscript poems rose and had been hyped up to a price that was always the same as one word. Note that it was one word!
After finally reading all the poems written by Li Hao, Li Shimin couldn't calm down. After a long time, he slowly asked Fang Xuanling: "Xuanling, have you read all these poems?"
"I've seen it all back to your Majesty."
Li Shimin asked again: "What do you think?"
Fang Xuanling bowed and said, "Your Majesty, poetry and prose witness a person's talent. From Li Hao's poetry and prose, we can see that he has his own hills and valleys in his heart and ambition to serve the country. This hero has produced this hero in the Tang Dynasty. I believe it is Your Majesty's blessing and the country."
"The blessing of the country?" Li Shimin smiled faintly, "I hope this is the case."
After saying that, he turned around and asked Xu Lian: "Xu Lian, how long has Li Hao been imprisoned?"
Xu Lian hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it's still seven days to go, five months."
"It's been so long..." Li Shimin nodded and pondered, "It's almost done."
He thought for a while and said loudly: "Transfer my oral order to release Li Hao, restore his title, and immediately come to Ganlu Palace to see me after he is released from prison."
"Yes!" Xu Lian quickly retreated after hearing this.
When the imperial edict was sent to the cell of Dali Temple, Li Hao was drinking. He was very moderate in drinking and felt dizzy and stopped immediately. When he heard that the imperial edict had arrived, his eyes turned, he stood up and walked staggeringly in the cell, chanting poems while walking. This guy pretended to be drunk again.
The person who sent the order this time was Xu Lian. Xu Lian walked outside Li Hao's prison and found that Li Hao was drinking and writing poems drunk. He frowned and wanted to see the emperor later. How could this guy be so drunk?
However, Xu Lian was too lazy to worry about Li Hao's leisure, so he could do his own thing. He asked the prison chief to open the door, then walked in, and shouted: "Li Hao received the order!"
Li Hao raised his eyebrows with his eyes drooped, then lay down on the ground, and shouted mechanically: "The grass-roots Li Hao received the order."
Xu Lian looked at Li Hao, who was like a mangy dog, and asked someone to help him up and kneel there. Li Hao was like a pool of mud. As soon as someone let go, he fell down again and shouted: "Thank you, your Majesty, longe!"
He started to thank him before he received the imperial edict. He was definitely the first person who dared to spoof the imperial edict like this. In fact, Li Hao had no choice. He wrote hundreds of poems in ten days, and this was a bit popular. He had to do some bastards to suppress himself. It would be better to suppress himself than others.
Xu Lian looked at Li Hao helplessly, too lazy to worry about this anymore, and directly announced the edict: "Transfer the emperor's oral order, release Li Hao, restore his title, and go to Ganlu Palace to face the holy! How proud!"
"Thank you again for your kindness." Li Hao answered vaguely with his eyes closed, as if he was about to fall asleep.
How could Xu Lian let him fall asleep? He hurriedly said, "Hurry up, pour cold water on him to make him awake!"
Not long after, two basins of cold well water poured on Li Hao, which shocked Li Hao torture in his heart: "Your Xu Lian is really pouring. The well water in the summer can make people catch a cold if they catch a cold!"
Li Hao didn't dare to lie down anymore, otherwise he would have to pour a few basins of water. He quickly opened his eyes and struggled to stand up. He looked at Xu Lian staggered, and said with his eyes drooping, "It turns out that it is Eunuch Xu. I have been grateful for it for a long time, and I have been lucky to meet you."
Xu Lian said laughing and crying: "Don't be lucky to meet you. Your Majesty wants to see you. Come with our family."
"Oh, Your Majesty wants to see me." Li Hao shook his head and muttered, "Let's go see Your Majesty, I'll recite poems for him."
