Yunchu thought Li Zhi would take him directly to the Ziwei Palace, but unexpectedly he took him to wander around the imperial prison.
Now is the prosperous age that Li Zhi claims to only happen once in five hundred years, but the prison is full of people.
Many of them were acquainted with Yunchu, and they had discussed state affairs or quarreled in the same court.
At that time, everyone was majestic, majestic, and spoke uprightly. Everyone racked their brains and tried every means for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Nowadays, they are all unkempt, with sallow complexion and thin legs.
Eyesightless, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
The people here seemed insensitive to the emperor's arrival. They may have begged the emperor, but the emperor still refused to forgive them, or perhaps the harm they should have had has already been done. It is meaningless to ask for the emperor's grace at this time.
"Someone found a farmer who looked very similar to Changsun Chong in Kuimen in the middle of Shu. When I sent someone to invite him, he disappeared again."
Faced with Li Zhi's question, Yun Chu did not panic, because it was Prince Li Hong who let Changsun Chong escape, not him.
Therefore, he replied: "There are too many similar people in the world, why should your Majesty care about someone who looks similar to Chang Sun Chong?"
Li Zhi nodded and said: "Yes, Chang Sun Chong is dead. I have also made a decree to pardon Chang Sun Chong's guilt, so there is no way for him to survive."
Yunchu added: "Actually, in the orphanage in Wannian County, there is an old man who looks exactly like Chu Suiliang. He talks nonsense all day long and says that he is the real Chu Suiliang. Unfortunately, no one believes him."
Li Zhi smiled and said: "It is true. Chu Suiliang is dead. It is a pity that a generation of famous ministers was not fully loyal."
It was obviously an extremely tragic thing, but when these words came out of the emperor's mouth, they were inexplicably a bit more funny.
"Weichen will work in Chang'an from now on and will never extend his hands or feet out of Chang'an. However, Your Majesty must also support Weichen. At least let Weichen make Chang'an what he dreams of."
"What happens after you make it look like your dream?"
"Without the future, if I fill in my entire life, I still won't be able to meet the requirements of my dreams."
"So sure?"
"Weichen is extremely sure."
"Xuan Zang told me that before entering Yumen Pass, he saw some signs from the sky. There were silver iron birds flying in the sky and blue iron dragons winding on the ground. You don't want to make Chang'an look like that, do you?
"
Yunchu sighed and said: "That is the vision of people in Buddhism. However, the current situation of Chang'an is thought by the world to be a miracle. Unfortunately, in the eyes of Wei Chen, this miracle is just the beginning."
Li Zhi suddenly stopped and looked at Yun Chu and said: "You don't need to open four new gates in Chang'an City. The general of the Ministry of Works said that with those four gates, not only will the guards of Chang'an be ineffective.
It’s useless, and four more hidden dangers appeared out of thin air. Did you do it to show me on purpose?”
Yun Chu sighed and said: "Since Your Majesty is willing to take three steps closer to Wei Chen, Wei Chen knows that Your Majesty trusts Wei Chen. Since Your Majesty trusts Wei Chen, Wei Chen must not understand the rules. If it weren't for the imperial court's rules, Wei Chen would have
None of the four gaps were willing to be closed.
When Your Majesty comes to live in Chang'an, the four gates will be built into a solid city wall within half a month. When Your Majesty is not in Chang'an, the four gates will remain open.
Trust between people cannot be just words, it must be actual actions. Since Wei Chen doesn't have any ghosts in his heart, he might as well make things clear.
Chang'an is still His Majesty's Chang'an, and it has nothing to do with His Majesty's presence or absence."
Li Zhi looked at Yunchu, then at the giant man beside him, frowning and said: "He is by my side, do you still have a chance to assassinate the king?"
Yun Chu chuckled and said: "Weichen is twenty-four years old this year. It is the time when Qi and blood are strong, and it is also the peak state of a warrior. To be arrogant, there are not many people in the world who can surpass Weichen in martial arts.
.”
Li Zhi stood in the deep corridor and looked at Yun Chu and said, "How about you give it a try?"
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "No need to try, Wei Chen will never attack His Majesty in this life, Wei Chen knows this very well.
Since ancient times, there have been countless powerful generals and famous generals. They can drive powerful generals, and famous generals treat powerful generals well, but there are only a few kings with famous generals.
I cherish the way I am getting along with His Majesty now, and I will leave you a kind word in the future to give future generations of powerful generals, famous generals and kings a better look."
It was obvious that Yun Chu's words were heard by Li Zhi. He looked at Yun Chu and said, "I have a skill..."
He refused to say anything halfway through. Yun Chu was still waiting when he heard Li Zhi say: "It's quite embarrassing. It's okay not to say anything."
Yun Chu nodded and followed the emperor to continue touring the imperial prison.
What good things can there be in the prison? It's just that there are all kinds of people. The people here are different from the people in Wannian County Prison. They are more cunning, more cruel, and more ambitious.
Therefore, the attitudes they displayed in prison were all kinds of strange, some were flattering, some were pleading, some were insensitive, and some were filled with hatred.
"Whenever I have arrogant thoughts, I will come to the imperial prison for a visit, and most of the time I will be brought in by a white dragon fish.
After seeing the appearance of these people, my arrogance will slowly disappear. Our land in the Tang Dynasty is not as peaceful as it seems. There are countless people with ulterior motives.
I cannot be complacent and need to be vigilant at all times, looking at the country of the Tang Dynasty and all those who covet the country of the Tang Dynasty."
"So Your Majesty still wants to hunt down that person who looks like Changsun Chong?"
Li Zhidao: "Honger let Changsun Chong go because he met Honger's request. I continue to hunt Changsun Chong because in my eyes, he must die."
Yunchu felt that what Li Zhi was telling now was all the truth. Although Li Hong was his son, because he had grown up, he became a level one in the power structure of the Tang Dynasty. This level was very important, so
The emperor made some compromises.
It's just that the compromise is temporary, and he needs to continue to pursue it afterwards to achieve the purpose of making amends.
Zhao Prison was obviously a place where Li Zhi recalled the bitter and sweet things, so Yun Chu followed Li Zhi and had a nothing special prison meal in Zhao Prison.
The quality of the food is very high, but the raw materials are very poor. Yun Chu needs to hold it with both hands to eat the loose millet buns, so that the crumbs of the buns will not fall all over the floor.
The salted vegetables were chopped very finely and were not poured with oil. They tasted very salty and could not be swallowed without drinking water.
After Li Zhi finished eating a millet steamed bun, he wiped his hands and said, "This is some preparation I'm making for myself, so that I won't be unable to swallow it when I have to eat these things one day."
Yun Chu said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to do this useless work. I am not tired of fine food, and I am guaranteed to get exquisite food under any circumstances."
Li Zhi took a bite of the salt dish and said, "I hope so."
After eating, Yun Chu and Bay Hong Ma were sent back to the prison by the emperor. This time the jailer closed the cell door and still locked Yun Chu and Bay Hong Ma together.
Yun Chu grabbed the railing and watched the emperor's figure gradually disappear into the darkness, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
The emperor's questioning is over, and Wu Mei should be next.
It can be seen from this that Wu Mei's power is already very large.
It doesn't matter that Wu Mei gained some power. The problem is that Li Zhi seems to be supporting Wu Mei in gaining some power. In this case, the problem becomes bigger.
Yunchu had always considered himself a close confidant of the emperor. It was because of this status that he could boldly do so many things in Chang'an without worrying about the consequences. Now, Li Zhi actually allowed Wu Mei to come to see him. Really
I don’t know what Li Zhi means.
Is it a test?
Or something else?
"Wow." The bay horse started to urinate again, and also pooped a pile of horse manure. Li Zhi provided a lot of food and water to the bay horse at night. It seemed that it was all premeditated.
If Yun Chu's prediction was true, by the time Wu Mei saw him, he would be covered in the smell of horse urine and manure, and he would definitely not be decent.
Thinking of this, Yun Chu forced the bay red horse to lie down, and the two brothers slept together. As for the horse dung and urine, Yun Chu didn't care anymore. At this time, he just wanted to thoroughly implement the good method Li Zhi taught him.
Carry on.
Going to see Wu Mei smelling bad may not be a bad thing.
Wu Mei was a germaphobe. I heard from Li Hong that his mother had to change several clothes a day. Sometimes after he forcibly hugged his mother, the first thing his mother did after sending him away was to take a bath.
A woman who even her own son despises has no idea how she gave birth to so many children with the scumbag Li Zhi, and she still has unfinished business.
It seems that in the face of power, all illnesses are fake.
The bay horse is originally a wild horse. It likes to sleep in its own feces and urine, which will make its flavor more intense and give it an advantage when determining its own species.
Now, Yun Chu's body was full of its smell, so he went to bed with the bay red horse and treated Yun Chu well, and even gave Yun Chu a piece of wheat straw wet with horse urine for Yun Chu to sleep on.
In the middle of the night, the bay horse started to have a stomachache... Yun Chu estimated that the food Li Zhi prepared for the bay horse contained croton.
The most terrible thing is that Yunchu himself feels like having diarrhea...
After he hid in a corner and vomited violently, he was sure that Wu Mei would not be happy with his appearance.
It was dark in the prison, and just when Yun Chu was counting on the daybreak, two jailers came, opened the cell door and invited the weak Yun Chu to go out with the weak bay red horse.
Even a good man can't stand a few blows, not to mention that Yun Chu and Zhu Hong Ma basically didn't stop much the whole night.
Even though he was as strong as Yunchu, his face was sallow and his legs were weak when walking. As for the bay red horse, it was even more miserable, pulling while walking...
The stench had no lethal effect on Yun Chu. Based on his experience in the army, the stench of feces and urine was nothing. After all, he was also a powerful general who slept with his enemy's stinking corpse on his head.
The medical common sense accumulated over the years told him that he was severely deficient in electrolytes and needed to replenish salt and sugar water as soon as possible to replenish his body.
A stinky man and a horse walked into the interrogation room of the imperial prison. A little eunuch who was as thin as a chicken but had a delicate face was inside. He chuckled at Yun Chu who was walking weakly and said: "This is the most powerful eunuch of the Tang Dynasty.
Will?"
Yun Chu looked at the little eunuch expressionlessly and said, "Are you a regular attendant to His Majesty?"
I don’t know why this exaggerated little eunuch actually had a voice change period and laughed and said: "I am not your majesty's regular attendant."
Yun Chu clenched his fists and said with a smile: "It's so good. I thought it would make His Majesty unhappy again."
After saying that, he swung a punch with lightning speed, and this punch hit the young eunuch's throat accurately. Although this guy didn't have an Adam's apple, Yun Chu's giant axe-like punch still broke his throat.
neck.
Seeing the young eunuch's facial features bleeding to death, Yun Chu nodded with satisfaction and said to the jailer: "Prepare some water, I want to take a bath."
