Things must be done step by step, step by step, step by step! Zhang Tao methodically developed his own confidants and slowly penetrated the entire palace.
Of course Zhang Tao also knew that Lin Qian was secretly doing what he should do, but Zhang Tao and him were like two parallel worlds, with no interaction at all and no influence on each other.
A month has passed since the last hunting surprise. Today Lu Kong and Zhang Tao are taking a break at the same time, so in order to fulfill their promise, Lu Kong and Zhang Tao went out to drink together!
After all, drinking in the forbidden palace is still quite inconvenient, and it is worth mentioning that the plan of the Yunyan Chamber of Commerce has begun to be slowly implemented. As Zhang Tao expected, the two princes who lost a large amount of money really fell into the trap.
middle.
Although the two princes were afraid that the Yunyan Chamber of Commerce and Gu Weiran would join forces to frame them, they investigated and found that not only the Imperial City, but the entire Honghao Kingdom had started such a plan, so the two princes did not doubt that there was fraud.
He walked in obediently when he was short of money.
Walking on the street, it was a real pleasure to feel full after drinking and eating. Zhang Tao and Lu Kong chatted happily, and talked about the forbidden palace competition in ten days.
Zhang Tao was naturally very humble and said it was not the same as before. But Lu Kong couldn't believe it! Ever since Lu Kong first saw Zhang Tao chasing souls and killing the Yu family with silver threads in Tianyue City, the exchange meeting later was very big.
Showing his power, Lu Kong knew that Zhang Tao was definitely a man who could turn corruption into magic. If he said that he had done nothing, Lu Kong would not believe it.
Zhang Tao smiled bitterly. Just when he was about to explain, he found some noise in the distance. "Huh? What happened? We might as well go and take a look." Zhang Tao said.
Ever since Zhang Tao indirectly saved Lu Kong's life last time, Lu Kong has never mentioned the matter of sparring with Zhang Tao. Judging from his behavior, it seems that he only wants to repay Zhang Tao well and work well in the palace.
Zhang Tao can also see that Lu Kong is a person who is more happy-go-lucky. He doesn't have many ideas or ambitions, but Zhang Tao is different. In the Misu Tower under Zhang Tao's neck, there is a heavy figure that keeps urging Zhang Tao to move forward.
Forward momentum!
On the street, a carriage was running amok! But the people around him were angry and dared not speak out. Looking at the detailed carvings on the carriage and the large ancient characters! Zhang Tao knew the true identity of the other party.
This man is undoubtedly the only son of the ancient king! Gu Bin! Thinking of Gu Bin's hatred for him, Zhang Tao sneered in his heart. This Gu Bin is destined to be impossible to be his friend, so since he is an enemy, do he need to show mercy?
He actually used his father's reputation to show off outside, which really discredited the ancient king. If he had such an idiot son, he would have been reincarnated with him long ago.
Thinking of how many years of King Gu's hypocritical benevolence and righteousness he had established in the hearts of the people, how many years did it take to achieve this? But what about his son Gu Bin? It only takes one short day to make King Gu have a perfect image of himself.
Turning into nothing, he is really talented! Such an ability is really not something that ordinary dudes can achieve.
"Brother Zhang?" Lu Kong couldn't help but wonder when he saw Zhang Tao motionless, as if he was deep in thought.
"Hey, Brother Lu, do you have the guts to put on a good show with Zhang?" Zhang Tao suddenly asked, his face full of evil intentions.
Lu Kong was stunned. This was the first time he saw such an evil smile on Zhang Tao's face, but what exactly is a so-called good show?
Seeing the confusion on Lu Kong's face, Zhang Tao smiled, "Brother Lu, you don't need to do or say anything for a while. You just need to tell the truth. That's it. Leave the rest to me."
.”
Lu Kong had no idea what kind of medicine Zhang Tao was selling in his gourd, so he could only nod subconsciously. Seeing Lu Kong nod, Zhang Tao walked out like a meteor, directly blocking the street, and forcibly blocked Gu Bin's
The carriage stopped.
The people around him immediately gathered around. Someone in the imperial city dared to block Gu Bin's carriage? This was definitely a rare thing. Everyone was extremely curious. Who was so ambitious that he dared to disturb Tai Sui's head?
"Do you want to die? If you don't get out of the way, I will crush you to death." As the saying goes, Gu Bin's grooms have unparalleled momentum. Judging from his appearance, if Zhang Tao doesn't get out of the way, he will definitely drive him away.
The horse ran over Zhang Tao, which was really brave.
"Under the feet of the Emperor of the Imperial City, a horse is openly galloping! It endangers the people's livelihood, and also threatens my life. You don't want to live, do you?" Zhang Tao said coldly.
"Do you know who is in the carriage?" Hearing Zhang Tao say "my lord", the coachman still did not dare to act rashly. The crime of crushing the imperial officials is different from crushing the common people.
"The emperor breaks the law and the common people are equally guilty. Even if the person on the carriage is the ancient king himself, he cannot escape punishment." Zhang Tao's eyes were focused, and his face was full of righteousness. The awe-inspiring righteousness came to his face, and he said that it was dignified and upright, just like heaven and earth.
The justice of the world is by Zhang Tao's side at this moment.
"That bastard? Are you so blind that you disturb my master's enjoyment?" Gu Bin felt that the carriage had not moved, so he couldn't stand it anymore. He opened the door, but when he saw Zhang Tao, he was stunned. "It's you."
?" But it's normal. How can ordinary people dare to offend Gu Bin?
Zhang Tao knew clearly that it was Gu Bin, but he said, "It turns out to be the prince, no wonder he is so confident." The people around him were whispering, and now there was something interesting to see. This man actually offended King Gu's only son.
Looking at the two young women next to Gu Bin, I feel pity for them. They must be the girls in the pink dream. Although Gu Bin is a idiot, he still knows the best when playing with women and disdains rouge and vulgar pink. From this point of view,
, so that he can be worthy of his status as the crown prince.
"Humph, Zhang Tao, what do you mean? You actually blocked my way? Do you want to rebel?" Gu Bin had a sullen face. Although he hated Zhang Tao, he also knew that Zhang Tao was no longer what he used to be.
He was not afraid of himself at all, so Gu Bin also had a headache, and he unconsciously became a little softer when he spoke.
Lu Kong on the side was even more confused. What was his plan? When Zhang Tao's name came out, the people around him suddenly realized that it was Zhang Tao who was in the limelight recently. No wonder he dared to risk the world's disapproval to target Gu Bin.
This time it became more and more exciting. "Rebellion? This sentence cannot be applied to me anyway, right? As the crown prince, you actually ride a horse in the street. Do you know that disturbing the people's peace is a serious crime?" Zhang Tao did not flinch at all.
Gu Bin's face was extremely ugly. In fact, it was everyone's default for nobles to ride horses on the street. This was an unspoken rule! Although it was against the law on the surface, who would report such a thing? It's okay if you're full.
Yes, but Zhang Tao is the leader of the Forbidden Palace. He actually makes a fuss about such a thing, which is really a headache.
"Huh, my prince has something important to do. This matter is related to the safety of Honghao's country and the country. If I block it for a moment and delay the intelligence time, can you afford it?" Gu Bin made nonsense, and Zhang Tao sneered with disdain, leading two
A prostitute is going to do something important? You can't even find a good excuse?
"The people are the most important, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important. Even if it is a big matter, the life and death of the people are the first priority!" Zhang Tao said seriously, but this sentence was extremely useful, and the people around him nodded secretly.
Without waiting for Gu Bin to speak, Zhang Tao continued, "Not to mention you Gu Bin, even my uncle wouldn't dare to do this."
"Your uncle? Who is your uncle? Can he be compared with this prince? Zhang Tao, don't mess around here and make trouble unreasonably. Get away quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being merciless." Gu Bin said sternly. He
The sound was so loud that almost everyone could hear it clearly.
Lu Kong's expression on the side became extremely strange. He was not an idiot. At this moment, he finally understood what Zhang Tao was trying to do. He didn't expect that Zhang Tao looked so honest, but he did everything he could to get rid of him. This was obviously
It was a trap, and Gu Bin, an idiot, stepped in without even realizing it.
"Hahahaha..." Zhang Tao suddenly laughed.
Gu Bin's eyes were full of coldness, "Why are you laughing? Don't you dare to be my heir apparent?"
"You said Zhang Tao, who intercepted your carriage, was rebelling? I think you are the rebel. How dare you insult the current emperor? Let me ask you what crime you deserve?" Zhang Tao suddenly stopped laughing and looked angry and righteous!
"What? I insulted the emperor? You are slanderous! When have I ever insulted the emperor?" Gu Bin was so angry that his face turned red. This Zhang Tao was just trying to incriminate him, so why bother! Confusing right and wrong and reversing the world! This is the greatest absurdity in the world.
Can anything be made up?
"Gu Bin, don't stop quibbling! Countless pairs of ears here can hear it clearly. Even if you are eloquent today, you will definitely be blamed." Zhang Tao said loudly.
"You are talking nonsense! Tell me when did I insult the emperor?" Gu Bin said angrily. He felt dizzy for a while. What Zhang Tao said was so irritating.
"Okay! I'll let you die plainly! I just said that my uncle doesn't dare to ride a horse in the street. What do you think my uncle is?" Zhang Tao asked loudly.
Gu Bin had been cornered by Zhang Tao, and he didn't think much about it at this time. "Yes, I have said it, so what?"
Hearing Gu Bin admit it again, Gu Bin was speechless and shook his head. This Gu Bin was really an idiot. Now Gu Bin felt pity for King Gu.
"Okay! Haha, you are indeed the prince, you have the courage to admit it! I admire you, but do you know who my uncle is?" Zhang Tao suddenly asked.
"How do I know who your uncle is..." At this point... Gu Bin couldn't continue! Because he suddenly thought of Zhang Tao's meritorious service during the hunt a month ago, and what the emperor rewarded him on the spot!
