Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 119
Amid the sound of respect from everyone, Li Shimin left the East Palace and returned to the Forbidden Garden. He walked very fast when he left, because he still had a lot of things to deal with.

Li Shimin was different from Gao Ming, Gao Ming only considered letting Hou Junji go, but as an emperor, Li Shimin naturally had to consider things more comprehensively.

Although Hou Junji was driven to the Anton Governor's Mansion, he has been in the Ministry of War for so many years, and there must be many subordinates who are loyal to him, so what Li Shimin has to do now is to find all the loyalists of Hou Junji. Come out, and then move them to prevent variables.

Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, so he had to be cautious.

On the way back, Li Shimin also found that there were many new faces among the guards of the East Palace.

Li Shimin found that these guards were not like the Qianniu Guards of the Eastern Palace before, who bowed and saluted directly when they saw him. very strange.

However, Li Shimin quickly noticed the waist tags of these guards hanging on their waists, and saw the word "riding" on the waist tags, and Li Shimin immediately understood that these guards were from Baiqiwei.

Li Shimin knew that these hundred knight guards might not know him, because what he was wearing now was not a dragon robe, but a black brocade robe. Let him in, let alone salute him.

It only took Li Shimin a short time to analyze these reasons, so he didn't really care. What he cared about was that the guard looked at Liu Bing in a very different way, with a feeling of fright, which made Li Shimin very upset. It is puzzling.

"Why do they seem afraid of a eunuch?"

But soon, he knew the reason.

When Li Shimin was about to walk out of the East Palace, he suddenly heard a group of people discussing in the small courtyard at the corner. Li Shimin frowned and asked Liu Bing to go back first, and he walked into the small courtyard slowly.

This small courtyard is where the guards rest and eat. It is the afternoon, so some guards who are changing defense are concentrated here. As soon as Li Shimin entered, he saw a group of guards surrounding a young man in a brocade robe. The young man was speaking eloquently at this time.

"I told you, in this palace, you must pay attention, the people in the palace are not as talkative as our prince!"

The person who was talking was Li Goudan, but at this time he was no longer a commoner, but a member of Zhongshushe, the fifth rank, but Gao Ming had no task assigned to him, so now he is free in the small office. Mixing in the yard, it's okay to fool these guards.

For Li Goudan, being an official is only his part-time job, and his job is to fool people, so after coming to the East Palace, he couldn't help but start fooling again.

"Do you know who the scariest thing in this palace is?"

Hearing Li Goudan's words, a guard of the Hundred Knights immediately raised his hand.

"Report to Master Li, I know this."

The habit of raising hands and reporting was taught by Gao Ming to Zhang Sizheng, and Zhang Sizheng made this a rule of the barracks, so all the current Baiqiwei have this habit.

Seeing him raise his hand, Li Goudan nodded immediately.

"Well, since you know it, tell me!"

"Yes, the most terrifying thing in the palace is His Majesty the Emperor!"

As soon as his words fell, Li Goudan burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha...wrong!"

When Li Goudan laughed out loud at the beginning, the guard of the Hundred Cavalry Guards also laughed, but when Li Goudan said "wrong", his smile suddenly froze on his face.

"Uh... the most terrifying thing is not His Majesty the Emperor, but who else?"

In fact, not only the guards of the Baiqiwei want to know this question, but even Li Shimin who just stepped into the courtyard also wants to know.

Under everyone's expectant eyes, Li Goudan smiled again.

"Hey, let me tell you, the most terrifying person in this palace is... the eunuch!"

As soon as his answer came out, everyone was stunned.

"What? Eunuch?"

Li Goudan seemed satisfied with everyone's surprised expressions, so he smiled again.

"The most powerful person in the palace is naturally His Majesty the Emperor, but His Majesty the Emperor is so busy, even if you have done something wrong, will he still have time to deal with you?"

Hearing Li Goudan's explanation, everyone nodded involuntarily. Even Li Shimin at the side thought it made sense. He is usually too busy with government affairs, so how could he have the time to take care of the guards' mistakes?
Seeing everyone's approved expressions, Li Goudan immediately became more proud, but at this moment his face changed into a very serious expression.

"But the eunuchs are different. They are the masters in this palace, especially the ancestral eunuchs. They are good at all kinds of castration techniques. They have already achieved the state of having no sword in their hands and a sword in their heart. As long as they have a thought, Before you can react, your balls are gone."

In order to increase credibility, Li Goudan also cited a fact.

"Do you know the little pig raised by His Royal Highness? Let me tell you, that little pig is my tribute to His Royal Highness, but when I went to see it two days ago, guess what? Its balls are gone. , now it has become a eunuch pig!"

As soon as Li Goudan's voice fell, there was a sound of breathing around him.

"hiss……"

Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Li Goudan sighed again.

"Oh, poor little pig doesn't know how to offend that eunuch. I heard that his ancestors were all eunuchs for eighteen generations. Now his generation can be said to be the eunuch of the eunuchs. The elite soldiers and strong generals of the eunuchs can be defeated with just one look. If you castrate a man, you will never be a man again, and you can only enter the palace as a eunuch like him."

After finishing speaking, Li Goudan stood up under the shocked eyes of everyone, with a look of compassion on his face, he left the small yard while shaking his head, and patted Li Shimin as he passed by shoulders.

"Yo, you have a pretty face, you just came here? I think you look very rich, and you should do things well for His Royal Highness, and the benefits will be indispensable to you in the future."

Hearing Li Goudan's words, Li Shimin laughed immediately.

"How did you see that I look very rich?"

As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, Li Godan laughed immediately.

"Isn't that obvious? Our crown prince is the most blessed person in the whole world. Your face is so similar to him, how can you share one out of ten of his blessings?"

When Li Shimin heard Li Goudan's words, he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Only one out of ten?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Goudan immediately gave him a dissatisfied look.

"Twelve out of ten is not enough? You are too greedy. His Royal Highness once said that one should not aim too high and be down-to-earth. As long as you do things conscientiously, you will always succeed."

Having said that, Li Godan patted Li Shimin's shoulder again.

"Do it well, because you look so much like the prince, I will cover you, and if anyone bullies you in the East Palace, you can report me as Li Goudan. Alright, I'm going to eat , you work hard, I am optimistic about you!"

After finishing speaking, Li Goudan walked away with his hands behind his back, leaving Li Shimin standing there dumbfounded.

"Cover me because I look like the prince?"

Li Shimin shook his head while laughing.

"It turns out that this guy is Li Goudan. Although he has a bit of a street spirit, he is very loyal. But is what he said just now true or false?"

Li Shimin walked while thinking, and arrived at the door of the imperial study without knowing it. Seeing him coming back, Liu Bing quickly saluted him.

"His Majesty!"

Li Shimin nodded and pushed the imperial study room to go in, but he just stepped through the door and suddenly thought of something, he suddenly stopped, and then turned to look at Liu Bing.

"Liu Bing, do you know that there is a castrated piglet in the Prince's place?"

When Liu Bing heard Li Shimin's words, he was taken aback.

"How did His Majesty know this?"

Although Liu Bing was surprised, he didn't dare to lie, and told Li Shimin the truth.

"Don't dare to lie to Your Majesty, the little wild boar in the East Palace of His Highness was castrated by this old servant!"

Originally, Li Shimin just asked casually, but he didn't expect that this matter was actually true, but the person involved was Liu Bing beside him.

Li Shimin's eyes widened in surprise, and he took a deep breath.

"Hiss... so you are the eunuch whose ancestors have been eunuchs for eighteen generations and who can castrate people with just one look!"

"(⊙o⊙)..."

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Liu Bing was stunned. He didn't know that the culprit who made him "take the blame" was secretly having fun in the East Palace.

"The guy over there actually believed what I said, so stupid, hahahaha!"

At this time, the joy in Li Goudan's heart is probably the pleasure of "running after pretending to be forced", and at the same time, there is a sense of superiority that crushes others in terms of IQ.

Li Goudan used to rely on cheating people for a living. Ever since he was caught by Gao Ming, he found out that cheating is divided into grades. You can only make a small amount of money by cheating ordinary people, but the prince who cheated King Qi can actually become an official. !

"It turns out that this is what the prince said about crushing IQ. Now I finally understand why the prince sent someone to guard me at the entrance of the inn to arrest me. It's so interesting."

But Li Goudan doesn't know that sometimes crushing IQ can definitely solve all the troubles, for example, Gao Ming has realized it now.

"Brother, hurry up and return the little tiger to Sizi, or Sizi will tell sister-in-law that you stole the book's bellyband, and tell Father that you stole sister-in-law's bellyband!"

"..."

Gao Ming was about to cry now, he found that ever since Li Mingda moved into his East Palace, he had started to change from a good sister to a brat, and now she would threaten him, and it was still such a shy thing.

In other words, how did she know that she took Su Wan'er and Shishu's pocket?
