Chapter 503
Shi Min and Zhang Bao got into the carriage and came to the outside of Dali Temple in a leisurely manner, at this moment, it was already evening.
Standing outside Dali Temple, Zhang Bao held his hands behind his back, looked at the two gates, and said to Shi Min quite proudly: "It was here that day, and my Majesty's life hung by a thread!" At that time, You Jian still swore that he wanted to take our lives! Hum! Bite off more than one can chew! ”
Shi Min glanced at Zhang Bao and didn't echo his words, and said, "I don't know if I can see Gao Shangzhi!" I'm afraid this Dali Temple is not so easy to enter, right? ”
Zhang Bao smiled mysteriously, took out something from his sleeve, shook it in front of Shi Min, and said, "With His Majesty's hand, anywhere can be unimpeded!" ”
Shi Min was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Zhang Baoguan had only been reinstated for a few days, and Shi Shi had such trust in him.
"Master Zhang is really amazing!" Shi Min pretended to praise.
Zhang Bao was quite proud, put away the edict again, and said, "Your Majesty is just loving." ”
Due to Shi Shi's edict, the two were not hindered and soon entered Dali Temple.
It was getting late, Shi Min walked behind Zhang Bao, and the jailer walked in the front, carrying a lantern to lead the way.
Suddenly, Shi Min vaguely saw a black shadow passing over the wall a hundred paces away, and he couldn't help but stop.
Zhang Bao, who was walking in front, saw Shi Min stop, and also stopped, and asked, "Childe, what's the matter?" ”
Shi Min looked into the distance, and there was nothing but the black wall and a bare tree trunk exposed.
"Nothing, let's go!" Shi Min wasn't sure if he was dazzled just now, so he didn't say anything.
When he came to the prison, Shi Min suddenly felt a chill, and after taking a few steps, the jailer who led the way stopped, turned to Zhang Bao and Shi Min and said, "Two adults, it's here!" ”
By the faint light of the candle, Shi Min saw that in the corner of the cell, there was a grass nest, and a person was curled up in the grass nest.
"Prime Minister, don't come unharmed!" Zhang Bao shouted through the cage.
The noble head didn't reply, lying on his side with his back to the two of them, and responded in a hoarse voice: "The old man is no longer a prime minister, so Master Zhang doesn't have to come to the well!" ”
Zhang Bao smiled slightly, and instructed the jailer: "Open the prison door!" ”
The jailer hesitated, but finally complied.
"Go and prepare a pot of charcoal, some wine and food! Get it now! Zhang Bao commanded again.
The jailer didn't dare to refuse, and responded: "The villain will do it......"
Gao Shangzhi remained motionless, not even a word.
"The prime minister deserves to be the prime minister, and at this point, he is still so calm!"
Zhang Bao said, sat down on a broken wooden stool next to the grass nest, and asked, "Prime Minister, why don't you ask why you are here?" ”
"Life and death have a life and wealth in the sky, if it is the old man's death today, it is useless to talk about it. If the old man's life should not be extinguished today, then why worry about it? Gao Shangzhi said, slightly sideways his face, and said: "In the whole world, except for life and death, the rest are trivial matters, since they are trivial matters, then there is no need to disturb melancrity." ”
"Hahahaha! Prime Minister Gao has insightful insights! Admire it below! This seems to be a little different from the prime minister Zhang met on weekdays! ”
"Lord Zhang, now the old man is just a prisoner, and the title of Prime Minister, the old man is ashamed!"
As he spoke, wine, food, braziers, and chopsticks were all brought over, and suddenly, the cold and dark cell suddenly became hot.
Gao Shangzhi was about to be attracted by the warm brazier, and slowly turned around, only to find that Zhang Bao was not the only one who came.
"Min Gongzi is also here!" Gao Shangzhi was a little surprised, then smiled and said, "Childe came to see the old man's jokes, right?" ”
"Why do you say that?" Shi Min asked unhurriedly.
"On that day in the court, the old man suggested that the younger brother take the military power to the Xihua Marquis Mansion, doesn't the son hold a grudge against the old man?" Gao Shangzhi asked.
"Of course you hold a grudge!" Shi Min said unabashedly.
"Hahaha! Childe is such a straightforward person! Gao Shangzhi smiled, and suddenly asked Shi Min with a little seriousness: "The old man gave Gongzi a suggestion, do you want to hear it?" ”
Shi Min said calmly: "My lord, please speak!" ”
"Above the court, in the officialdom, it's better not to be too straightforward!" Gao Shangzhi said, slowly got up, and leaned next to the brazier.
Shi Min smiled slightly and did not speak.
"Prime Minister Gao has been serving by the side of the first emperor for decades, no matter what kind of turmoil, he can get out of the whole body, and he can be said to be an immortal green pine in the court of Zhao State!" Zhang Bao said, looked at Shi Min with a smile, and said to him: "The Prime Minister is well versed in the way of officialdom, and on this issue, I am afraid that the sum of Gongzi and Zai Xia is far inferior to the cultivation of the Prime Minister!" ”
"Lord Zhang! Let's get straight to the point! No more beating around the bush! Gao Shangzhi rubbed his hands, looked at Zhang Bao and said.
The brazier was placed in the middle of the grass nest and the table, and Gao Shangzhi and Zhang Bao sat opposite each other across the brazier, and the atmosphere began to become a little tense.
"Don't hide it from the Prime Minister, I came here today to ask for advice!" Zhang Bao said.
"Don't dare to ask for advice!" Gao Shangzhi got up slightly, leaned over, brought a pot of wine on the table, put it on the edge of the brazier, and said, "If you have something to say, just say it!" ”
"The death of the first emperor is related to the medicine offered by the adults, do you approve of this?"
The noble head was not raised, he turned the wine jug around, continued to bake, and said slowly: "Lord Zhang is here to ask for His Majesty's guilt?" ”
Gao Shangzhi said, smiled inexplicably, and asked Zhang Bao: "If it were you, Master Zhang, how would you answer this question?" ”
Zhang Bao was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I'm asking you!" ”
"If the old man says that it has nothing to do with him, after all, the medicine is his own offering! It will also make the first emperor fall into a reputation of extravagance! If it is said to be related to the old man, hehe, when the medicine was offered, the old man told the emperor a thousand times, not to overdo it, but ......" Gao Shangzhi said, paused, sighed, and said: "Then let all the charges be attributed to the old man!" ”
"It seems that the Prime Minister is still loyal to the first emperor! Admire under it! ”
"If it weren't for the old man's loyalty to the first emperor, how could the old man have been sitting firmly in the position of prime minister for so many years? The first emperor is faint but not scarce, no matter what happens, he knows it in his heart! Gao Shangzhi said, took the wine jug in his hand, poured himself a glass of wine, and suddenly the wine glass was steaming, and Gao Shangzhi took a sip with great satisfaction.
"I think so too, otherwise I wouldn't have secretly helped His Royal Highness King Yan when Shi Zun usurped the throne!" Zhang Bao looked at Gao Shangzhi and said.
Gao Shangzhi paused, and before he finished half a glass of wine, he said slowly: "The old man doesn't know what Master Zhang means by this. ”
"I got the news that someone persuaded His Royal Highness King Ning to send troops and horses to Dali Temple to pick up His Royal Highness King Yan to escape, and this person is your Prime Minister!"
Gao Shangzhi frowned slightly, but still did not speak.
"In fact, in the final analysis, the Prime Minister is also gracious to His Majesty! And His Majesty has always given great rewards to those who are gracious! ”
