Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 186 Attack on Puzhou
Gao Ming hadn't had a good rest in Nanshan for the past two days, and he was exhausted from the journey back to Chang'an in the morning, so he was very tired, so he took a nap this afternoon, and it was already evening when he woke up.

Although Su Wan'er woke up a long time ago, she was hugged tightly by Gao Ming. She was afraid that she would wake Gao Ming if she struggled, so she could only stay with him.

When Gao Ming opened her eyes, she was startled and quickly closed them, but Su Wan'er didn't know that her blush cheeks had already exposed the fact that she was pretending to be asleep.

After realizing that Su Wan'er was still pretending to be asleep, Gao Ming suddenly smiled.

"This is life!"

People say that Ruanrou Township is a tomb of heroes, but Gao Ming never cared about it, because he never thought about being a hero, and he never regarded himself as a hero.

He just wants to be his crown prince in comfort, eat delicious food and drink spicy food every day, and discuss life with his beautiful wife and concubine in his arms when he is full.

In Gao Ming's opinion, this is what a traveler should do.

It's a pity that nine out of ten times life is unsatisfactory. To put it in a more simple way, people are in the arena and cannot help themselves.

When he first came to Datang, Gao Ming was always in fear, for fear that his life would be ruined if he was not careful. He finally solved Li Tai's problem, but he found that there were more things waiting for him to do. , so he can only keep running around.

"If you are poor, you will benefit yourself; if you are rich, you will benefit the world."

At this moment, Gao Ming felt that he had finally realized something.

As the so-called "position determines thinking", as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, Gao Ming enjoyed many privileges that ordinary people did not have, but at the same time he also had to bear a lot of responsibilities.

Gao Ming is not only a time traveler, he is also a responsible person, so he can only bite the bullet and put the reins of Datang's carriage around his neck, then grit his teeth and use his own strength to pull it forward .

But now, there is only one thing before Gao Ming, and that is to work hard to suppress the aristocratic family and cultivate his own middle and lower level officials.

However, this is not a simple matter.

Gao Ming knew very well that if he used playing games as a metaphor, his defeating Li Tai and securing his position as the crown prince could only be regarded as a novice guidance task, and dealing with the aristocratic family is the main task he needs to carry out now.

According to historical records, the main reason for the demise of the Tang Dynasty was the separatist rule of the feudal towns. The Anshi Rebellion fully proved this point, so Gao Ming had already determined his future path from the very beginning.

Only by abolishing the aristocratic family can the monarchy be strengthened unprecedentedly, and only by completely nationalizing the local military and financial power can the centralization of power be completely consolidated and the Tang Dynasty be built into a true dictatorship of the monarchy.

"Five Surnames and Seven Wangs, it is not a matter of overnight to defeat them, but this matter must be done, and it must be done as soon as possible!"

Gao Ming knew that if he wanted to eliminate the aristocratic family, he mainly relied on Li Shimin and his team, but Gao Ming also knew that he had to cultivate his own team as soon as possible, because Li Shimin's team was already old.

Li Jing is now 72 years old, Fang Xuanling is 64 years old, Cheng Yaojin is 54 years old, Li Ji and Changsun Wuji are also 50 years old, and they don't have much time to support Gao Ming. This is not only clear to Gao Ming, but also to Li Shimin, so He will hand over the power of Jinzhou to Gao Ming so that Gao Ming can support his cronies.

"I hope Li Shimin can live a few more years in good health. If he dies, I will be exhausted from this stall. It seems that I will be faster. I must support my team within ten years, and in 20 years The only way is to suppress the aristocratic families to the point where they can barely breathe!"

Thinking of this, Gao Ming suddenly felt a sense of urgency, so he immediately turned over and got up, put on his shoes and socks and went outside.

Seeing Gao Ming coming out, Su Wan'er immediately laughed.

"Lang Jun, dinner is ready, do you want to eat it now?"

Hearing Su Wan'er's words, Gao Ming nodded immediately.

"Yes, eat now, and Wan'er, you will prepare 20 yuan for me later, I will go to Jinzhou tomorrow, it has been more than a month, I don't feel relieved if I don't go and see."

"Yes, I know it!"

After dinner, Su Wan'er directed the eunuchs to move out the money. Early the next morning, Gao Ming took fifty hundred cavalry guards and escorted several carts of copper coins to Jinzhou.

When Li Shimin heard the news, he couldn't help shaking his head immediately.

"This kid is still too careless. 20 yuan is not a small amount. If the news leaks out, someone may have a wrong idea. Liu Bing, you take 500 people to escort the prince."

"Yes!"

Under Li Shimin's order, Liu Bing immediately left the city with 500 Qianniuwei, and it took half a day to join Gao Ming's team.

For Liu Bing's arrival, Gao Ming was still a little surprised. After learning that it was Li Shimin's intention, he immediately burst out laughing.

"It seems that the old man is more thoughtful. Since I have you escorting me, I can rest assured. Go slowly. I will go to Jinzhou on horseback first."

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming jumped out of the carriage, then got on a maroon horse, and ran forward as soon as he clipped the horse's belly.

"Hey, Your Highness, wait for me!"

Seeing Gao Ming running away, Liu Bing became anxious immediately, and he jumped out of the carriage quickly, and then rode a horse to chase Gao Ming.

Gao Ming rode his horse and galloped across the wilderness, feeling the wind blowing in front of him, he found that this feeling was really good, and when he was in a good mood, he immediately roared at the top of his voice.

"You are majestic and majestic in Chinese characters, and your galloping horse is like a gust of wind..."

He shook the reins vigorously while roaring, and the horse ran faster immediately. Gao Ming didn't know that Liu Bing, who was chasing behind at this time, shouted almost hoarse.

"His Royal Highness, wait, wait, cough, cough, cough..."

After a lot of effort, Liu Bing finally caught up with Gao Ming outside Puzhou City.

"Hoo hoo...His Royal Highness, this old slave has caught up with you, hoo hoo..."

Looking at Liu Bing who was out of breath from exhaustion, Gao Ming suddenly grinned.

"Old Liu, why are you here? Well, let's not talk about anything else, let's go into the city and eat something!"

"Yes!"

After entering Puzhou City, the two of them went into a restaurant. After sitting down, Liu Bingcai lowered his voice and said to Gao Ming: "His Royal Highness, there are still dozens of miles to Jinzhou, don't let us rest in Puzhou first. How about waiting until tomorrow?"

Gao Ming knew what Liu Bing meant and understood that he wanted Qian Niuwei to protect him, so Gao Ming shook his head immediately.

"No need, now my Tang Dynasty is in a peaceful and prosperous age, you don't need to make such a fuss, besides, even if you are unlucky and encounter robbers, what they want is nothing more than a little money, just give them, it is considered as a relief to the poor. "

"But……"

Seeing what Liu Bing wanted to say, Gao Ming immediately waved to him.

"Okay, the vegetables and rice have been served, don't say more, hurry up and go on the road after eating, or you won't be able to reach Jinzhou before dark."

Seeing that Gao Ming had already talked about this, Liu Bing couldn't say any more. After eating, the two rode on their horses and headed towards Jinzhou.

Liu Bing was praying silently along the way, hoping that the journey would go smoothly and that he would not encounter any troubles.

But things are often afraid of what will happen. Not long after the two of them left Puzhou, Gao Ming suddenly heard a "bang" when passing through a forest, followed by the neighing of horses and Liu Bing's startled sound. the sound of calling.

"Ah... puff..."

Hearing this sound, Gao Ming quickly pulled the horse's rein, and when he looked back, he was stunned.

At this time, there was already dust billowing behind Gao Ming, Liu Bingzheng was desperately struggling to stand up, while his horse fell dead beside him.

What's more, Gao Ming discovered that Liu Bing's horse seemed to have been hit on the head by something. The entire head of the horse had been deformed, and it was still bleeding profusely. After a while, it accumulated on the ground. A small pool of blood.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming was stunned.

"How is this going?"

Just when Gao Ming was full of shock, a loud voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"That...Brother, I didn't do it on purpose, I just wanted to hit this horse, I didn't want to hurt anyone!"

Just want to hit horses and don't want to hurt people?Isn't this nonsense?
Thinking of this, Gao Ming frowned immediately, then turned his head to look in the direction of the voice, intending to reprimand the other party, but when he saw the other party's appearance clearly, he immediately gasped.

"Hiss... oh shit..."

Undoubtedly, it was a person who came, but if the other party was just an ordinary person, Gao Ming would not be so shocked. The problem lies in the fact that the other party is too unusual.

He was very tall, just standing up, he was almost as tall as Gao Ming who was riding a horse. Gao Ming estimated that his height was at least [-] meters.

He was shirtless, his body was muscular, a skirt made of unknown animal fur was tied around his waist, and he was holding a boulder the size of a human head in his hand.

Looking at the stone, Gao Ming finally knew how Liu Bing's horse died.

Looking at the "humanoid monster" in front of him, Gao Ming's eyes seemed a little dull, and he kept mumbling.

"It turns out that Yao Ming has grown Schwarzenegger's muscles like this. Mommy, how can the Datang version of Tarzan be broken?"
