Gong Shangguo lying on the ground no longer had the unconcealed nobility of the past. He was dressed in prison uniform, with a withered complexion. Although his eyes were open, they no longer had any brilliance. He looked like a corpse waiting for Drying the body for burial.
Gu Dan clenched his hands involuntarily, then loosened them. He looked at the jailer beside him and said, "Brother, can I go in and see him?"
"This is against the rules!"
The jailer leading the way shook his head.
Being able to visit Tianlao is based on Prince Yu's reputation. How can I freely contact prisoners?
If he helps the prisoner to escape, wouldn't it make the emperor lose face?
Gu Dan took out a few banknotes and secretly stuffed them into the jailer's hands, "I'll just take a look, say a few words, and don't move anything."
"Hey, he is also the grandson of the emperor. If it were someone else, I would never agree!"
The jailer took it politely, opened the cell door, and warned: "You can't stay too long!"
"Thank you, brother."
The jailer very considerately left the cell door ajar and walked a dozen steps to the side, leaving a somewhat private space.
Gu Dan walked up to Gong Shangguo, but Gong Shangguo didn't react at all. He didn't even focus his eyes. It seemed that everything around him was nothing noteworthy to him. He was locked up in the sky. All that was left in the prison was a body.
"Fair enough!"
Looking at the guy on the ground who had lost all his energy, Gu Dan was angry in his heart and suddenly shouted in agreement.
The people on the ground finally had some reaction, and their eyes turned around, and the eyes that were like a pool of stagnant water finally showed some weak fluctuations. Gong Shang came back to his senses and called out in disbelief: "Gu... Dan? "
His answer was a particularly loud slap!
Gu Dan's angry palm fell almost mercilessly on that handsome face that could make everyone admire him. In the blink of an eye, the place where his palm landed was swollen.
Gong Shangguo, who was as dead as ashes, finally came to his senses, and a hollow and weak voice sounded, "Why...are you hitting me?"
"Hitting you? Even beating you is considered a light attack!"
Gu Dan grabbed the prison uniform with one hand and pulled Gong Shangguo up from the ground, "Do you think you are powerful? Huh? Do you think you have done your last bit for morality? Huh?! "
Staring into those silent eyes, Gu Dan tried his best to suppress his voice.
This guy has no fighting spirit at all, so he must be scolded awake in the most violent way.
"I......"
Gong Shangguo wanted to say something, but Gu Dan didn't give him a chance to speak.
"Enter the palace to meet the saint and give him face-to-face advice. If things don't work out, you will die, leaving only morality and justice in the world. Do you still want me to praise you for risking your own life and taking justice first? Ah?!" Jiang Gongshang passed him. When he came to the front, staring into those eyes, Gu Dan's words seemed particularly mean and cold.
Since ancient times, there have always been upright men who were killed on the pillars of the hall when the monarch did not obey or listen to the advice given to them face to face.
To put it nicely, that is called sacrificing one's life for righteousness. I will tell you the things you have done wrong. If you can change it, you will still be a king and a minister. Let's work together to clean up the mess. If you don't change it, I have done my best, so I will die to clarify my will and tell the world. If a person himself is not willing to join in the bad deeds, he can still leave a reputation behind him.
To say something unpleasant is to be foolish!
From Gu Dan's point of view, knowing clearly that the ruler is not the king, naturally the subject will not be the subject!
The king is the guideline for his ministers. If the king is not upright, the ministers will defect to other countries. The country is the guideline for the people. If the country is not upright, the people will attack!
What's the use of saying something righteous and awe-inspiring even though he clearly knows the virtues of Emperor Zongming? Just impress yourself!
"There are obviously so many ways to work hard and try, but you chose the worst one. Even if you go to Yangxin Hall and punch him, I respect you as a man, and you can be regarded as a subordinate of Otsuki Countless suffering people breathed a sigh of relief. But you actually ran to try to reason with him?!"
Gu Dan lowered his voice and said angrily, "If the truth is valid, how can the Mo family still be in trouble? You have grown so big, but you have only learned to use your hands to eat?"
Gong Shangguo has never seen Gu Dan look so angry. To be precise, this friend who has known him for more than ten years rarely even reveals his own emotions. Even if everything is chaotic outside, he never shows it. He stayed in the small courtyard, silent and quiet, as if isolated from the world.
But now he came to the prison by some unknown means, and his fierce words were even more cruel than that Qin Lisheng.
It's almost time for you to rebel.
"I... am from the royal family." After a pause, Gong Shangguo lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Gu Dan's eyes. He felt that his face was dull and he felt guilty.
In this era, the concept of blood and clan is very important.
This is the so-called prosperity and loss, which must not be separated, otherwise it will be treason, even for ordinary people.
Not everyone has a vision beyond the times and adheres to justice and morality, but this does not mean that they can release their own shackles.
"A member of the royal family can't wield a sword or raise a fist?"
Gu Dan gritted his teeth and said, "You have been studying with Mo Qiu for so long. You have only learned Brother Mo's morality, but you have not seen the courage to dare to be the first in the world?!"
I'm sorry for his misfortune, but I'm angry that he doesn't fight!
His starting point is obviously that he has been blessed with top-notch treatment in Dayue, but he is still thinking about going alone to fight alone. Seeing that he must go against it, he thinks of admonishing him face to face to fulfill the righteousness!
If you are not even afraid of death, why don't you dare to have some bold ideas? !
"..."
Gong Shangguo lowered his head in shame, speechless.
"The Mo family has received the battle report from the border area. People who are well-informed should know that paper cannot cover the fire. It won't be long before the news spreads. Just stay in the prison like this, there is no need to look at it anymore. The people of Dayue are suffering, and they will make the right choice themselves, but you, at this time, want to die!"
Gu Dan let go of the hand that held Gong Shang's collar and said coldly.
"I... am already useless." Gong Shangguo shook his head in pain.
After falling into the heavenly prison, the first thing to do is to use secret medicine to destroy his meridians and cut off his martial arts skills.
Although occasionally some people take the wrong approach, and if they are lucky enough to retain some vitality, they are all rootless and it is difficult to achieve anything in this life.
"Abandoned? I didn't agree!"
Gu Dan pressed his palm on Gong Shangguo's shoulder, and the green light disappeared in his palm, pouring into his body silently.
The strong vitality turned into a source, and the dry and blocked meridians were rejuvenated by that force.
Gong Shangguo froze and looked at Gu Dan in disbelief.
"Even if a warrior who has mastered Zang training is dead, his body will not rot within three months. There are even masters who are immortal for a hundred years. How can they be as fragile as you said?" When the internal energy in the body was gone, Gu Dan He took back his hand and said calmly.
It is never the body that is fragile, but the heart.
After losing the faith and determination to move forward, no matter how noble a person is, it will only take a moment for him to fall into the mortal world.
The jailer came here, and the time for the meeting was over.
"Don't let Dayue's sorrow become your sorrow."
Gu Dan stood up and opened his lips slightly.
In the near-dark sky prison, Gong Shangguo could barely distinguish that sentence through the shape of his lips.
"Stay alive."
