Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 143 Discussion
Gao Ming went to the Forbidden Garden with the little tiger in his arms, but this time he did not choose to take the chariot, but took the little tiger for a walk in the courtyard, so it took a little longer to reach the Forbidden Garden.

As soon as he entered the small courtyard of the imperial study, Gao Ming saw Liu Bing standing at the door.

But this time Liu Bing didn't greet people with a smile as usual, his brows were a bit more sad, and he didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't even notice Gao Ming entered the yard.

It wasn't until Gao Ming came to his side that he realized that he quickly saluted Gao Ming.

"This old servant has seen His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Free gift!"

Gao Ming waved his hand at him first, and after he straightened up, he patted his shoulder with a smile on his face.

"I said Liu Bing, I think something is wrong with you today, what's going on?"

Hearing Gao Ming's question, Liu Bing sighed with a miserable expression.

"Oh...that's how it is. I don't know which plague spread rumors, saying that the old slave is an old eunuch who winks at eunuchs. He also said that the old slave is cruel and ruthless. He eunuchs whenever he sees anyone. He doesn't leave a single egg behind. Now Even His Majesty's eyes are not right when he sees this old slave, this old slave is messing with someone!"

"..."

Although Li Goudan was the one who spread the rumors, Gao Ming couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Looking at Liu Bing, who had a face full of bitterness and hatred, he laughed dryly twice.

"Uh...hehe, this is really miserable, um...it's very miserable, I sympathize with you, that...I went in beforehand, let's talk later!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming quickly entered the imperial study room, and after turning around and closing the door of the imperial study room, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing the movement at the door, Li Shimin, who was dealing with government affairs, also raised his head. After seeing Gao Ming, he lowered his head and continued writing.

"What's the matter? If you don't collect your protection fee, why come here?"

Gao Ming heard the ridicule in Li Shimin's tone, and immediately laughed.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to know about this, but compared to your taxes, it's just a small amount... a small amount of money."

Hearing Gao Ming emphasize "little money" twice, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing immediately.

"Haha, you kid, are you still worried that I won't steal your money? I don't like your little money!"

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Gao Ming's eyes lit up.

"Hey, as the saying goes, 'Is it the king's land under the whole world, and the king's subjects on the coast of the land', of course you can't look down on mere protection fees."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin nodded with a smile, but after a short while, he showed a vicious expression towards Gao Ming again.

"Stop flattering and say, what are you doing here?"

"..."

Seeing Li Shimin who changed his face as soon as he said it, Gao Ming was stunned for a few seconds, and then he touched the head of the little tiger in his arms with a wry smile.

"Benben, have you seen it? This is a companion like a tiger. You see, he is more fierce than you!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the little tiger immediately looked up at Li Shimin, and then let out a dissatisfied cry.

"Meow..."

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin's face couldn't hold back immediately, and he burst out laughing with a "puchi".

"You kid, thanks to Wei Zheng's death, otherwise this little thing in your arms will be lost."

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Gao Ming raised his eyebrows at him.

"Do you still remember the fact that he deliberately made you suffocate the parrot?"

"Humph!"

Seeing that Li Shimin was about to change his face again, Gao Ming quickly changed his serious expression.

"I have already found out that Zheng Yunyin was instructed by others, so he ordered someone to beat Wu De to death, so that he could plant it on Li Goudan, and then on me. Even Wu De's wife and that gangster were also He sent someone to do it, and I have already caught the person who did it."

After Gao Ming finished speaking, Li Shimin nodded calmly this time.

"Then what do you want to do?"

Hearing this question from Li Shimin, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing immediately.

"It's not that you ask me what to do, but I should ask you what to do, but since you asked first, let me tell you, I have two requirements."

Having said that, Gao Ming immediately raised a finger.

"First, let Zheng Yunyin get out of the Ministry of Justice. He can no longer take the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, and this position cannot be given to anyone from a powerful family!"

Having said that, Gao Ming raised a second finger.

"Second, in exchange for Zheng Yunyin's life, let the Zheng family give up Jinzhou. There can't be any members of the Zheng family in Xingyang in Jinzhou, not even a small county magistrate or head secretary. Tell them, If they don't agree, they will take Zheng Yunyin outside the door and crack the car."

Hearing Gao Ming's two requests, a smile of approval appeared on Li Shimin's face.

"Yes, it seems that your mind is very clear. It is very simple to kill Zheng Yunyin. It is nothing more than a sentence, but killing him will not help the matter at all. But who do you think is the right minister of the Ministry of Justice?"

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Gao Ming laughed.

"Old man, I'm afraid it's dark under the lights, and there is such a person by your side."

Seeing the sullen Gao Ming, Li Shimin frowned immediately.

"Who is the person next to me?"

This time, Gao Ming didn't make a fool of himself, but gave a straightforward answer.

"That person is your living man, Shangguanyi!"

Hearing this name, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment.

"Shangguanyi?"

Li Shimin frowned and thought for a while, and finally remembered this person, but at this moment he looked at Gao Ming with a somewhat strange gaze.

"How do you know he's talented? Besides, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment is not an ordinary position. Do you think he is competent?"

"Of course, this person's talent is definitely this!"

After saying that, Gao Ming stretched out his thumb without hesitation, Li Shimin saw that Gao Ming was so sure, so he had no choice but to nod.

"Okay, then I will trust you for the time being, and let Shangguanyi temporarily act as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment."

Hearing that he agreed, the smile on Gao Ming's face suddenly became brighter.

"Trust me, that's right!"

"I hope so!"

After speaking, Li Shimin put down the brush in his hand, then raised his head and looked at Gao Ming.

"You want the Zheng family to completely withdraw from the Jinzhou territory, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Seeing Li Shimin's serious face, Gao Ming also nodded seriously.

"I know that 60.00% of the officials in Jinju are now from the Zheng family in Xingyang, and 20.00% are also attached to them. If they all withdraw, Jinzhou's government affairs may face paralysis for a period of time, but this is not the case. It is a big problem, as long as the military control is carried out before the new officials arrive!"

Seeing Li Shimin's puzzled eyes, Gao Ming patted his head immediately.

"Sorry, I didn't make it clear. Military control means military control. To put it bluntly, it means using the army to temporarily take over the power of the yamen, so that the controlled area will not be chaotic. A small county like Jinzhou dispatched 3000 people The Jinwu Guard is enough."

Seeing that Li Shimin still had some doubts, Gao Ming immediately patted his chest.

"If it really doesn't work, then I will go, and before the basic officials arrive, I will make overall arrangements in Jinzhou. Is that okay?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin's mouth immediately turned up.

"You? Are you okay?"

Seeing Li Shimin's half-smile expression, Gao Ming immediately brushed his hair.

"Please remove the word 'do', I will be the father of the Tang Emperor in the future, what is a small Jinzhou?"

"..."

Want to become the man who is the father of the Tang emperor?

Li Shimin was immediately shocked by this strange title, but after thinking about it carefully, what Gao Ming said was correct. The emperors of the Tang Dynasty were all passed down from father to son, and from son to grandson. Be emperor.

However, why does this "Emperor of the Tang Dynasty" sound so awkward?

Seeing that Li Shimin didn't speak for a long time, Gao Ming thought he disagreed, so he quickly explained to him.

"In fact, I intend to develop Jinzhou into a talent reserve base. The academy should have started construction now. After the academy is completed, I will let the students of the academy try to manage Jinzhou. After they pass the qualifications, I will send them to other places. States and counties, so that Datang can gradually break away from dependence on the aristocratic family."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin suddenly came back to his senses, with a look of anticipation on his face.

"If there is such a day, I am afraid that I will wake up from my dream with laughter. Well, I agree with your suggestion. Tomorrow, I will decree that Shangguanyi will take over as Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. As for the matter of Jinzhou, I am afraid it will take a little longer. "

Having said this, Li Shimin's expression suddenly became serious again.

"By the way, you said that Zheng Yunyin was ordered by someone. Who is this person?"

"that is……"

Gao Ming was about to say, "It's the fat man from the eldest grandson's family", but then he thought about it, the eldest grandson Wuji helped him in the court last time, and it seemed a little strange that he turned around and sued his son in front of Li Shimin. good.

"Forget it, I'll settle this matter myself!"

Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately shook his head at Li Shimin.

"Old man, this person has a special relationship with me, so don't interfere. I'll just go back and teach him a lesson. I'll leave now!"

Hearing what Gao Ming said, Li Shimin nodded knowingly.

"Well, let's go!"

Seeing Gao Ming strode out of the imperial study room, a smile appeared on Li Shimin's face again.

"Boy, do you really think that I don't know that it's Qingque who attacked you this time?"

With that said, Li Shimin sighed again.

"Hey, it's rare that you have a heart to love your brothers. It would be great if Qingque could be as sensible as you."

Apparently, Li Shimin thought that Gao Ming didn't say Li Tai's name because his elder brother was protecting his younger brother. He didn't know that, in fact, Gao Ming didn't even know that the "dead fat man" was his own brother.

Have to say, this is a wonderful misunderstanding.

More importantly, Gao Ming, whom he called "sensible" at this time, had already called Li Mingda and Li Yin, and ambushed beside the fish and algae pond outside the Forbidden Garden.

"Just now I saw a fat man who had a grudge against me coming towards me. Si, you go to the front door and watch. If uncle comes, you will find a way to lure him away, understand?"

When Li Mingda heard this, he nodded immediately.

"understood!"

Seeing Li Mingda nodding, Gao Ming turned to look at Li Yin again.

"Lao Liu, you will be responsible for lighting the cannon later."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Yin showed a confused face.

"Brother, what do you mean by firing a gun?"

"Firing guns is to go up and pick troubles. If we want to hit someone, we have to pay attention to the reputation of the teacher, right? You go up and hit him, and then I go up and fuck him, understand?"

"understood!"

Seeing that Li Yin also understood, Gao Ming immediately waved his hand.

"The enemy army has 30 seconds to arrive, crush them!"
