Li Hao had already guessed that he would be imprisoned, so when Empress Changsun was funeral, he had gathered all the people in the family together and told them that he was likely to go to prison, and the family was shocked when they heard it. Li Hao comforted them in time and told them that this was the emperor's beating of himself, and when Li Shimin was in a better mood, he would be released.

From that day on, incense cases were placed in the middle courtyard of Li Hao's house every day, waiting for the arrival of the holy decree at any time, on the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Huang An came to Li Hao's house to announce the decree with great momentum, Li Hao was very calm, and his family was also very calm, when they listened to the holy decree, not only did they not cry because Li Hao was going to prison, but they all looked at Li Hao in surprise, it was a kind of worshipful look, unknown prophet, can you not worship, this strange atmosphere made Huang An a little afraid: Are the people in Li Mansion crazy?

Li Hao was imprisoned by Dali Temple, or the luxury cell last time, the cleaning was very clean, but the camel hair carpet was removed, the bed was gone, and it was replaced with a hard board bunk, the table, chair, and toilet were still there, and there was an extra camel hair quilt on the bed.

Li Hao smiled when he saw it, shook his head and sighed lightly: "This Dali Temple Qing Yao Shouzheng's officialdom is not ordinary, I have been cut off, he can still see that I have not lost power, no matter what, he is more sober, if he encounters a stunned youth, I am afraid that I will have a hard life." After he finished speaking, he picked up the camel hair quilt and lay down on the bed, and first fell asleep.

Although the camel hair quilt was warm, the winter in Guanzhong was really cold, and he slept on the hard board, no matter how warm the cover was, it was useless, and after a while, he was awakened by freezing.

Coincidentally, at this time, a jailer came to bring him dinner, and Li Hao hurriedly asked: "Who is that, can you add a mattress for me, it's too cold to sleep at all." ”

It is estimated that Yao Shouzheng has explained something to them, and this jailer has a very good attitude towards Li Hao, so he hurriedly nodded and said, "You wait a minute, I'll ask Shangguan." ”

It didn't take long for the jailer to come back and say, "Li Hao, your family has come to visit you." As soon as the words fell, I heard a rush of footsteps, only to see Qin Su carrying a food box, holding a woolen blanket, hurriedly came to the prison door, as soon as he saw Li Hao, Qin Su couldn't hold back anymore, tears burst out of his eyes: "Childe, you have suffered......"

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

"It's Chinese New Year's Eve today, but you're locked up here......" Qin Su couldn't cry.

Li Hao flattened his mouth, opened his eyes wide, and said, "Then, if you cry again, you won't be allowed to come to see me in the future, which will make the young master and me feel bad." ”

"Su'er doesn't cry anymore." Hearing this, Qin Su hurriedly wiped away his tears, raised his head and said, "Young Master, tonight's New Year's vigil, our whole family will pray for you." ”

"You don't need to pray for blessings." Li Hao said with a smile, "Remember to tell Du Hong, just like last year, everyone will send a New Year's red envelope, oh, by the way, if they call you to play poker, don't play with them, they want to cheat you for money." ”

Qin Su looked at him blankly, he didn't know what he was talking about at all, he could still understand the New Year's red envelope, and he didn't know what to do with the playing cards.

Li Hao saw the cashmere blanket and food box in her hand, and said happily: "Your blanket was delivered in time, and I happened to lack a mattress." After he finished speaking, he took the blanket from Qin Su's hand, and then asked, "What delicious food did you bring to me?" ”

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

Li Hao hurriedly started eating, the weather was so cold, if he didn't eat again, it would be cold for a while, he was full of wine and food, Li Hao burped and said: "Alas, don't say it, eating in prison is more fragrant than at home, it's really interesting." ”

Although Li Hao tried his best to maintain a relaxed and happy tone, Qin Su still frowned and asked leisurely, "Childe, when will you be able to go home?" ”

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

"Well, I'll wait for you." When Qin Su said this, he hung his head in shame, and his cheeks turned crimson.

Early the next morning, the head of the Wu Wangfu Shi Quan Wanji went to visit the Wu King Li Ke, as the long history of the Wu Wang, it is normal for Yuan Zhengri (the first day of the Lunar New Year) to visit the King of Wu, but their conversation is not ordinary, the two sides talked for a while, Quan Wanji suddenly said: "Your Royal Highness, the ministers can see that you have the heart to help the world, but it is not so easy to help the world." ”

Li Ke's eyes narrowed when he heard this, he didn't expect that this New Year's Day, Quan Wanji actually said this kind of thing to himself, it was obvious that Quan Wanji was not here to pay New Year's greetings this time, so he spread his hands and said: "What Mr. said is very true, but Ke thinks he has the talent to help the world......

"However, His Highness is not qualified for the time being." Quan Wanji suddenly interrupted his words, and he used such hurtful words, very ruthlessly, however, what he said was the truth, after all, the current crown prince is Li Chengqian, not him Li Ke.

Li Ke was furious when he heard this, and got up and shouted angrily: "Are you here to ridicule this king!" ”

"Of course not." Quan Wanji said with a solemn face, "Your Highness, please rest easy, and listen to the minister's words." ”

Li Ke saw that his attitude was serious, and he didn't seem to be playing with himself, so he held back his anger and sat down angrily: "You say! ”

Quan Wanji said: "Since ancient times, a monarch can be talentless, but he must know how to recognize people and use people, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang are a lesson from the past." ”

Li Ke snorted coldly when he heard this: "This truth is naturally known to this king, but is it wrong for this king to be Yunwen and Yunwu and follow his father's example?" ”

"That's the icing on the cake, of course." Quan Wanji said, "However, Your Highness, are there talents around you?" ”

Li Ke was stunned when he heard this, frowned and thought about it carefully, but he really didn't have a special code, so he asked: "Are you asking me to recruit talents?" ”

Quan Wanji shook his head slowly: "If this is the case, then it is digging your own grave, and Your Majesty will not 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 does Your Highness think of Li Hao?" ”

Li Hao was stunned and said: "This king has not seen this person, but this king heard that this person has some talents, first with a prescription to quell the plague, and then with the army to capture Fu Yun, when the drought in Guanzhong, he also offered the blueprints of the wind-powered waterwheel, as well as the Quyuan plow, oh, I heard that this person's poetry is also a must." ”

Quan Wanji said: "What His Royal Highness sees is still a bit shallow, and the subordinate only said one point, this Li Hao and Lu Guogong and Zhao Guogong have business cooperation. ”

Li Ke asked puzzledly: "So what?" ”

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

Li Ke squinted his eyes when he heard this: "In this way, this Li Hao is a rare talent?" ”

"Exactly!" Quan Wanji nodded vigorously and said, "Now that Li Hao is in prison, and it was provoked by King Wei, in fact, to put it bluntly, Li Hao was imprisoned this time, and he was wronged, I think it was because His Majesty was in a bad mood, or because he wanted to beat him one or two, and it is estimated that he will be released soon." ”

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

"You don't have to get acquainted." Quan Wanji said, "The icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, after a month or two, when Your Majesty's mood improves, Your Highness can find an opportunity to ask Your Majesty to release Li Hao, if Li Hao knows, he must be grateful to His Highness, so that His Highness and Li Hao have formed a good fate." ”

Li Ke thought about it carefully when he heard this, and nodded happily: "What Mr. said is very true, this good fate has been formed, but this king has never seen Li Hao, and his father will not be suspicious." ”

"Exactly."

Almost at the same time, Li Chengqian, the prince of the East Palace, was also receiving guests, and the guest he met was actually the eldest grandson Wuji, and the content of the conversation between the two was also related to Li Hao.

It seems that the eldest grandson Wuji also knows that he has little hope of winning over Li Hao, so he can only let Li Chengqian go out, after all, Li Chengqian is the prince, and he will sit on the throne in the future, he believes that Li Hao cannot not give Li Chengqian face.

If Li Hao knew his thoughts, I don't know if he would sneer three times: "Prince? The future emperor? Come, take the pen, give you the paper, and write the history below. Can it not be funny, old man, you are on the wrong side, do you know no, the future emperor is Li Zhi, that little Zhengtai is good, Lao Tzu has read history! ”

Because of the national funeral, this New Year is lifeless, Li Hao is even more miserable, in prison for the New Year, although he likes to sleep lazy, but he can't sleep twenty hours a day, he has a headache from sleeping, but what can he do if he doesn't sleep, there is nothing to do in prison.

If you want to change to someone else, it must be boring, but who is Li Hao, he is a traverser, and there are more tricks to pass the time, such as playing poker.

He asked Qin Su to bring playing cards when he came for the second time, but the second time he came was Turandot, although Turandot has always had a prejudice against Li Hao, but what she says now is also Li Hao's rightful wife, and she always wants to come to see, Turandot brought him playing cards, Li Hao's life is immediately different, as long as he is bored, he pulls those jailers to play poker, at the beginning, the jailers refused, because gambling is strictly prohibited in the prison, but Li Hao's bet is too tempting, as long as he loses, it is double the loss, The jailers could not be tempted and began to learn to play poker under his guidance.

Fighting the landlord is the easiest way to play poker, as long as the brain is not funny, basically a learning will, the jailer did not expect a few small cards to be so fun, the more you play, the more addictive, so, more than a month later, almost everyone of the jailers owed Li Hao dozens of gambling debts, until this time, they found out that they fell into Li Hao's pit again, regret it.
