This is a person who knows how to enjoy life...
Su Dingfang thought to himself.
He was even thinking that if this person met Fang Jun, both of them would have the same interest in life, and maybe they would cherish each other and become close friends.
The man gently pushed a cup of tea in front of Su Dingfang and said with a smile: "I have lived here for twenty years and have not known the human world for a long time. It is inevitable that I will become rotten and dull. It's just that since this new tea-frying technique spread, I gave up the wine. , this is the only thing that is good. I heard that this was the art of drinking tea created by the chief steward Fang Jun, and I admired it in my heart. However, I had no choice but to end up in jail, and it was a pity in my life. Fang Jun’s style is indeed aspirational. ah."
This person is graceful and noble, and has a gentle demeanor, which makes people very fond of him.
Su Dingfang looked at the tea cup with a faint look, and said with a smile: "The General Manager Wen Tao has a great talent for martial arts. He is truly a rare person. It is indeed a great pity that the young master has no chance to meet him."
He noticed the meaning of the man's words, "living in a snail's nest for twenty years" should not mean hiding his name from the court. In the eyes of the world, Yang Hao, the eldest son of the Han Dynasty, had already been killed along with Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty during the turmoil in Jiangdu. No one would think that the man in front of him was the former Sui Emperor.
The reason why he "lived in a snail's nest for twenty years" must be because he was trapped here.
Perhaps the word "imprisonment" is not appropriate, and "house arrest" or "imprisonment" should be more appropriate.
Come to think of it, the Gu family probably had the intention of imitating Lu Buwei's "strange things to live in" when he caught the former Sui emperor in his hands...
This Gu family is indeed not a good type.
When the man saw that Su Dingfang did not drink tea, he did not take it seriously and sighed: "Throughout the ages, heroes have never found Sun Zhongmou. Dancing pavilions and singing platforms, the wind and rain will always blow away the wind. The setting sun, grass and trees, ordinary alleys, human roads I once lived in Jinu. I think back then, when I was brave and powerful, I could swallow up thousands of miles like a tiger... A young man who is not as young as a weakling can write such magnificent and profound words. I really want to meet this amazing genius in the world for a while. ah……"
There is so much sadness in the words.
Su Dingfang said: "It's not difficult. The General Manager is currently in charge of the navy in the south of the Yangtze River. As long as the Young Master moves, you can definitely imagine it. There are many rumors about the General Manager, but most of them are untrue, and most of them are spreading rumors. Great. The manager is friendly by nature, and he likes to make friends with heroes all over the world. If you two can have a good time drinking and chatting, you will definitely become an irreversible couple."
"Move?"
The man smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said quietly: "How many years has it been? A certain person no longer knows what the outside world is like. He is single and trapped here. He has a lazy temperament and does not dare to see the world of the past again..."
Su Dingfang frowned slightly, seeing that this man was still determined to die, so he couldn't help but persuade him: "Young master, don't worry too much. Now that the founding of the Tang Dynasty is stable, the world is at peace and all industries are prosperous, even the status of the master will not have much impact on the Tang Dynasty. Troubled. Your Majesty has a broad mind now, and he is definitely willing to prepare a beautiful palace for the young master, with bells ringing and cauldrons eating."
How many years has it been since the Sui Dynasty fell?
Today's Tang Dynasty is prospering and powerful. How can it care about you, an orphan of the former Sui Dynasty? Even if your identity is very sensitive, it is unlikely to cause too much trouble. Not only will His Majesty Li Er not kill you, but he will treat you with kindness, to show his broad mind and benevolent spirit!
Unexpectedly, the man smiled and waved his hand and said: "General, you have misunderstood what I mean. You have already suffered enough from being fed in this life. If a person does not have freedom, what about life and death? They are just beasts like dolphins and dogs. If they are We have just emerged from the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den again, so it is better to put aside life and death and be liberated as soon as possible."
Even if the emperor spares his life, what can he do?
Shouldn't he be imprisoned in a palace and wait to die of old age?
What's the difference between that and here?
After all, they are just playthings in the hands of others, tools used to achieve a certain purpose...
That’s why he said, “I came out of the wolf’s den and entered the tiger’s den again.”
Su Dingfang felt vaguely uneasy. Looking at the other party's increasingly pale face, he finally realized: "Have you taken poison?"
The man clasped his fists and said sincerely: "Yes, before the general entered the room, someone had already taken the poison. Don't bother, there is no cure for this poison. In any case, someone is also the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and there is blood on his body. With the blood of Emperor Wen, I just begged the general to let me die more easily and with dignity. In the past twenty years, I couldn't see through life and death, nor the world of mortals, and there was always a trace of luck and a trace of obsession hidden in my heart. However, Now that my life is gone, I suddenly find that the vicissitudes of the world are just traces in my heart, but they are always blown away by wind and rain... How can there be joy in life, and how can there be fear in death?"
Su Dingfang sighed secretly, death may really be the best destination for the former Sui Emperor in front of him...
He sat still.
Since he was an emperor, he was an outstanding figure among men and had the right to choose how to die for himself.
As honest and honest as Su Dingfang, I felt that I should help him.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Hao's face turned from pale to gray, and black blood left the corner of his mouth. He took out a brocade handkerchief from his arms, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then neatly folded the brocade handkerchief and kept it at hand.
"Is the general wondering, since he has no freedom, where did he get this incurable poison?"
Yang Hao's eyes were calm, as if he didn't know that he was about to die...
Su Dingfang remained silent.
Who could bring this poison in except someone who could get close to him? It should be noted that the Gu family treats Yang Hao as a "curious item" and will never allow untrustworthy people to approach him.
Maybe, even his pillow person...
Yang Hao once again looked at Su Dingfang attentively, with pleading in his eyes: "Chan'er is innocent...she is Gu Cong's young daughter. Although we are different in age, we are in love. Her father sent him to me, but I still feel wronged. She knew that since the general was able to break through Wubao on a rainy night, no one in the Gu family would be left alive. She wanted to beg the general to spare Chan'er's life, but she also knew that the general was in a dilemma. Therefore, if the general wanted to know something from someone, he couldn't. Please tell me everything I know, and I just hope that I can exchange it for Chan'er's life."
Su Dingfang was silent for a moment, then asked: "Young master, you believe so much in someone's character that he won't betray you and defraud you of your words, so you still execute that cicada?"
Yang Hao's face was still ashen, and he spat out the blood from the corner of his mouth, but he didn't look embarrassed at all. He still had a graceful and elegant smile, and he just kept wiping it with the square brocade handkerchief. …
"It's just a bet. If the general breaks his promise, Chan'er's fate will be in danger. If the general promises a large sum of money, he can save Chan'er's life, that's all."
Su Dingfang was silent again.
After thinking for a while, he asked: "Master, do you have any last words?"
Yang Hao was in a daze. He supported the coffee table in front of him with all his strength, not wanting to fall down like that. He murmured: "My life has been a complete tragedy... I only hope that I will not be born into an emperor's family in the next life..."
The heavy rain outside the house subsided a little, and the heavy raindrops turned into a steady patter.
Not long after the low-pitched conversation in the room, Su Dingfang's thick voice was heard saying: "I respectfully send you off on your way..."
The former Sui emperor deserved such courtesy from him.
And Yang Hao's calmness in the face of life and death, and his concern for the daughter of his "enemy" are quite a bit like a hero who is short of breath but has a long-lasting love for his son and daughter.
Yes, in a sense, Gu is Yang Hao's enemy.
The Gu family secretly rescued Yang Hao from the war-torn Jiangdu, but imprisoned Yang Hao for twenty years with the idea of "a rare commodity to live in"...
If Yang Hao was allowed to choose by himself, perhaps he would rather die at the sword of Jiangdu's rebels twenty years ago than live for these twenty years, being raised like a dolphin and a dog without freedom. How is it different from death?
You know, this is the emperor of the former Sui Dynasty, the flesh and blood of the emperor!
The education he received since childhood made him the master of all living beings, above all others!
Even if he is just the son of a prince...
Yang Hao's body will naturally be sent to the capital. How to bury it or bury it at will depends on the emperor's will. The emperors of the former Sui Dynasty were still emperors. Even if the Tang Dynasty took over the empire of the Sui Dynasty, no one could make decisions for the emperor when it came to the royal family.
Not surprisingly, Yang Hao will receive a luxurious funeral at the level of a prince. This is not only the emperor's strategy of being truly considerate to his subjects, but also making the people of the world aware of the dignity of the royal family. Even the emperors of the previous dynasty are incomparable to ordinary people.
The royal family of the previous dynasty were so generous, so shouldn't the royal family of this dynasty be even more aloof?
Su Dingfang raised his head and looked at the dark sky, feeling really emotional in his heart.
White clouds and blue dogs, the world has changed.
Even the most noble imperial family in the world, how can it withstand these ruthless years?
