We can defeat him by stratagem, but we can't influence him by virtue. " At the same time, he advised suzong to guard against Xu Shuji's rebellion. But because he never made friends with eunuchs, eunuchs praised the loyalty of Shi Siming and Xu Shuji in front of Tang suzong. Emperor suzong of Tang Dynasty dismissed Zhang Hao as the governor of Jingzhou City. In 759, Shi Siming rebelled against the Tang Dynasty again, and Xu Shuji surrendered to the rebels. Tang suzong thought of Zhang Hao's advice before, and made him a guest of the prince. Later, he changed to Zuoshan.
