Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 132 Warning Li Tai
The great leader Mao Zedong once taught us - there is no love without reason, and there is no hate without reason.

Gao Ming also felt that this sentence made sense.

Although the officials and censors of the Tang Dynasty made a living by impeaching others, they were not mad dogs who caught anyone and bit them, so no matter who they impeached, they naturally took all actions for a purpose.

To put it bluntly, it is only for the sake of fame or profit, and only fools do things that harm others or benefit themselves.

Gao Ming didn't think that Wang Minguan, who impeached him just now, would be a fool. He must have done it for fame and fortune.

But obviously, things like preventing the prince from marrying a concubine would not earn much fame, so there was only one answer left, that is, he was instructed by others to do so.

Therefore, after Gao Ming yelled the rampant slogan "Who else?", he scanned the direction of the civil servants, and then he quickly locked on a suspicious person—that is, the one standing next to Changsun Wuji. fat man.

Gao Ming found that among all the people, only this fat man not only did not avoid his gaze, but also stared at him without fear, and there was a faint hostility in his gaze.

Seeing this person's hostile expression, Gao Ming immediately confirmed his guess.

"That's right, it's this guy!"

Gao Ming remembered that Cheng Yaojin had reminded himself the last time, telling him to be careful of this fat man, but at that time Gao Ming was still busy with the matter of Li You and Hou Junji, so he temporarily put this matter aside, he did not expect this Guy is jumping out again now.

"If a tiger doesn't show off its power, do you think I'm a sick cat?"

Thinking of this, Gao Ming sneered, and immediately cupped his hands towards Li Shimin, and then pointed to Wang Min who was lying at his feet.

"Father, I want to impeach Wang Yushi, but he can't sleep soundly in the court. This is simply despising the court and deceiving the emperor. I implore the father to take off his official uniform and get out of the palace!"

After hearing Gao Ming's words, the surrounding ministers were a little dumbfounded.

"Wang Min was obviously fainted by your big ears, but you are the villain who complained first, saying that he was sleeping soundly above the court hall. This is obviously lying with your eyes open!"

Although everyone saw it very clearly, no one came out to speak for Wang Min, because everyone knew that Wang Min was just a pawn of others, and since he was a pawn of others, he had to be treated as an abandoned pawn. Now that even his master has not spoken, what else can others say?

Most importantly, what Wang Yushi did made many ministers feel cold.

Zhou Hong's father used to be an assassin at any rate, but now he has collapsed and there is only one daughter in the family. Now you want to drive his daughter to a dead end, isn't that too cruel?
All the people present were officials, and they compared their hearts with each other. Who knows if there will be such a day in the future?
Obviously, what Wang Yushi did made all the officials feel very contemptuous, so even though Gao Ming knew that Gao Ming was talking nonsense at this time, no one stood up to speak for Wang Min.

Even Li Tai who instigated Wang Min to impeach Gao Ming scolded him.

"Wang Min, you idiot, I asked you to impeach Li Chengqian, what are you doing with Zhou Zheng's daughter? It's not enough to accomplish anything!"

At this time Li Tai had already regarded Wang Yushi as an abandoned son, because he knew that if he stood up to speak for Wang Min at this time, not only would he not be able to save Wang Min, but he might have to involve himself in it.

"Li Chengqian is in the limelight right now. It's not appropriate to confront him head-on. We can only avoid the limelight temporarily. As for Wang Min, at worst, I'll find an opportunity to make up for him later."

Wang Min, who was lying on the ground, didn't know that he had been regarded as an abandoned son by Li Tai, he was still lying on the court hall, and it seemed that he would not wake up for a while.

However, Li Shimin didn't intend to give him a chance to wake up, so he directly called the temple guard warriors up.

"Come here, take off Wang Min's official robe and throw it out of the hall!"

"Yes!"

In fact, Li Shimin didn't care about Zhou Zheng's fate, what he cared about was his own face. To put it bluntly, what happened to Zhou Zheng was a wrestling between the royal family and the aristocratic family, so Li Shimin planned to let Zhou Zheng live.

As an important part of the release of Zhou Zheng, Gao Ming accepted Zhou Hong as Fengyi with his acquiescence, and he did not allow others to destroy it. At this time, Wang Min came out to disrupt the situation, so no matter who was standing behind him, Li Shimin had no intention used to.

Under Li Shimin's order, two temple guards walked in immediately, and then each of them grabbed Wang Min's hand and dragged him out of the hall.

It was only after the figures of the three of them disappeared outside the main hall that Li Shimin announced his will.

"Decree, Zhou Hong, the daughter of Zhou Zheng in Jinzhou at this time, is beautiful and wise, with good morals, and she is named Fengyi. Her father Zhou Zheng is pardoned for all crimes and allowed to return to his hometown!"

Li Shimin's decree is still measured. He knows that pardoning Zhou Zheng and letting him return to his hometown is the best he can do now. If he wants to restore his official post, I am afraid it will irritate the Zheng family in Xingyang. , If they rebound at that time, things will not end well.

Just as Li Shimin thought, just pardoning Zhou Zheng and letting him take office, although the members of the Zheng family frowned, they didn't come out to object.

Seeing that no one objected, Li Shimin nodded again, and then said to Liu Bing, "Retire!"

"Yes!"

Liu Bing agreed and shouted.

"Back... toward..."

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Amidst the shouts of civil and military officials, Li Shimin got up and left. After he left, the officials walked out of the hall in twos and threes.

Gao Ming's movements were relatively fast. He had guarded the entrance of the main hall early on. Seeing Changsun Wuji and Li Tai coming out, he immediately went up to stop them, and then cupped his hands towards Changsun Wuji.

"Uncle, I have something to say to this brother, do you mind?"

Seeing Gao Ming calling himself "Uncle" so affectionately, instead of the unfamiliar "Master Changsun" before, Changsun Wuji was too happy to be happy, how could he object?
He immediately waved his hands again and again.

"I don't mind, I don't mind. If you two brothers have something to say, just say it, and the old man will go first."

"Please!"

Changsun Wuji walked away with a smile on his face, but after walking a few steps, he frowned strangely.

"Why does His Royal Highness call Wei Wang 'this brother'? It sounds like an outsider. It feels weird... Forget it, anyway, this is the matter of the two brothers, and the old man can't care so much."

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji also put this little awkwardness behind him and stopped thinking about it.

However, Changsun Wuji didn't know at all. In fact, Gao Ming didn't know Li Tai at all. He always regarded Li Tai as the son of Changsun Wuji.

People say that a nephew looks like an uncle, and Li Tai's appearance is somewhat similar to that of his eldest grandson Wuji. In addition, both of them are fat, so it's not surprising that Gao Ming would think so.

Under such a premise, even when Changsun Wuji said "you two brothers" just before leaving, Gao Ming subconsciously thought that he was talking about cousins, and didn't think about his own brothers.

And the most important thing is, ever since he got in touch with Li Tai, Li Tai never called him brother, even now.

"Why did you call me?"

Seeing Li Tai's defiant look, Gao Ming laughed immediately, and patted Li Tai on the shoulder while laughing.

"I said fat man, you look very cute, don't you?"

"Take it?"

Obviously, Li Tai couldn't understand the meaning of the word "Diao" in Gao Ming's mouth, but he didn't intend to understand, so he frowned impatiently.

"Speak quickly if you have anything to do, and get out of the way if you have nothing to do!"

Hearing Li Tai's words, Gao Ming's face suddenly became a little ugly.

"I said fat man. Anyway, I am also a prince. Didn't your father tell you to be more respectful when you see me?"

Speaking of this, Gao Ming immediately felt that the education of the eldest grandson Wuji was too much of a failure. Look at his son, who is dragged down like two to five to eighty thousand, which is too outrageous.

But sometimes things are so accidental, although Gao Ming misunderstood, but as Li Tai's biological father, Li Shimin actually told Li Tai more than once to be respectful when he saw Gao Ming, but Li Tai never took it to heart .

So, hearing Gao Ming's words at this time, Li Tai suddenly became a little angry.

"It's up to you whether I'm respectful or not, get out of the way!"

Seeing that Li Tai is still so defiant, Gao Ming was immediately annoyed, and he stretched out his hand and patted Li Tai's fat face lightly.

"I have an old friend who looks like you, but now the grave is as tall as the grass. Young people, it's better to keep a low profile, otherwise you will easily get into trouble!"

This time Li Tai finally understood Gao Ming's words, and he looked at Gao Ming in disbelief.

"Do you threaten me?"

Seeing his astonished gaze, Gao Ming shook his head with a smile on his face.

"No, no, no, you are wrong, I am not a threat, I am a good advice, fat man, don't think that brother doesn't know you are playing tricks behind your back, it's just that I don't want to be with you for the sake of your father. It’s all about worrying, so I specifically warn you, you’d better not provoke me, otherwise I will get angry and I will be afraid myself!”

"..."

After hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Tai's complexion twitched twice. He didn't say anything, but just snorted coldly, and walked directly around Gao Ming.

Seeing Li Tai's leaving back, Gao Ming grinned suddenly.

"If people don't attack me, I won't attack others; if people attack me, I will give you three points of courtesy; if people attack me again, I will return the needle; if people attack me again, I will kill the grass and roots, fat man, this is the second time, just do it and cherish it!"

Seeing Li Tai's figure disappear at the end of the hall, Gao Ming shook his head immediately, and then got on the chariot and went back to the East Palace.
