Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 25 Li Shimin's Approval
Since the Han Dynasty, there are four types of memorials submitted by courtiers to the king, namely "chapter, memorial, table, and discussion".

Liu Xie of the Southern and Northern Dynasties mentioned in "Wen Xin Diao Long Zhang Biao", "A chapter is used to thank you, a performance is used to impeach, a table is used to express feelings, and a discussion is used to hold differences.".

It can be seen that the main function of the table is to express the loyalty and hope of the courtiers to the monarch.

At this time, Wei Zheng wanted to use the above table to tell Li Shimin that there is hope for a prince like Gao Ming in the Tang Dynasty, and he should be given more opportunities and not dethroned lightly.

In addition, Wei Zheng also told Li Shimin by the way that Gao Ming went to the Forbidden Garden to dig lotus roots and catch fish to honor his sick teacher. This is a virtue, please Li Shimin not to criticize him.

In fact, Wei Zheng didn't know that Gao Ming came to visit him just to escape the palace to avoid the limelight. As for Gao Ming's "sincere and sincere" performance before, it was just his acting skills.

As the saying goes, "Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills." The most important thing is that Gao Ming knows very well that Wei Zheng's days are numbered.

As a well-known official in the Tang Dynasty, Wei Zheng even flattered Li Shimin, but in the last days of his life, Gao Ming didn't mind flattering him, and let him spend his last days happily.

But Gao Ming didn't know that Wei Zheng was so moved by his unintentional actions that he even went to Li Shimin to speak well of him.

This is also in line with the old saying, "Giving a rose to others has a lingering fragrance".

The only thing that puzzled Gao Ming was that when he was in Wei Zheng's mansion, he found that Wei Zheng's son Wei Shuyu looked very unfriendly.

"Is there something wrong with Wei Zheng's son? I don't seem to have offended him?"

Hearing Gao Ming's question, Li Mingda had a strange expression on his face.

"Brother, have you really forgotten?"

"Uh?"

Seeing Gao Ming's confused face, Li Mingda sighed suddenly, his immature face was full of helplessness.

"It seems that elder brother really doesn't remember. In fact, elder brother, you have always been at odds with Wei Shuyu. Once elder brother fell while riding a horse, and in anger, someone broke Wei Shuyu's leg and three ribs."

"..."

After listening to Li Mingda's explanation, Gao Ming felt aggrieved.

"The one who broke Wei Shuyu's ribs was Li Chengqian, okay? What does that have to do with me?"

However, he only dared to say this in his heart. After all, his identity is now Li Chengqian, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he must bear the blame.

"It doesn't matter. If you offend him, you will be offended. Anyway, Wei Shuyu can't make any big waves."

Thinking of this, Gao Ming felt a lot more comfortable in his heart.

According to historical records, before Wei Zheng died, Li Shimin naturally had nothing to say to him, and even married Princess Hengyang to his son Wei Shuyu. The concentration of the holy family made countless courtiers envy and hate.

But after Wei Zheng's death, the situation was different.

People say that June Day is the face of a child, and it changes as soon as it is said. In fact, the face of an emperor is the same. Wei Zheng died only half a year ago, and Li Shimin reversed the old account. Not only did he cancel the marriage between Wei Shuyu and Hengyang, but he also made Wei Zheng overthrown. tombstone.

After Wei Zheng's death, he couldn't shade his descendants, the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, the Wei family no longer had the glory of the past, and the form changed so quickly it was jaw-dropping.

However, Wei Zheng is not dead yet, so at this time his influence on Li Shimin and even Datang is still great.

Wei Zheng's form was presented in front of Li Shimin very quickly, and when Li Shimin finished reading his form, his complexion suddenly filled with strangeness.

"Wei Zheng actually went to the table to praise the prince, and told me not to blame him for the matter of Yuzao Pond. It's really strange!"

Knowing son is like father, although Li Shimin still doesn't know why Gao Ming harmed his fish and algae pond, but he can be sure that Gao Ming is definitely not for Wei Zheng!
If it weren't for Wei Shuyu standing aside at this time, Li Shimin would have suspected that this watch was forged by someone clever.

However, Li Shimin had no intention of pursuing this matter, and now that Wei Zheng is speaking for Gao Ming, he simply took the opportunity of going down the slope to settle the matter.

So at this time, he nodded towards Wei Shuyu with a serious face.

"Since the prince and grand master have said so, then I will not pursue this matter. You go back and tell your father, let him recover from his illness, and I will go to see him another day."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Wei Shuyu quickly bowed to him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will take my leave!"

After Wei Shuyu left, Li Shimin's serious expression disappeared immediately, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"To make Wei Zheng, a stubborn old man, say good things, Gao Ming is quite capable, not bad!"

The emperor's most important thing is the art of balance. In Li Shimin's view, Gao Ming's ability to win Wei Zheng's approval is actually quite remarkable. You must know that over the years, even when facing him as the emperor, Wei Zheng has rarely spoken well.

Moreover, Li Shimin has seen Gao Ming's performance these days. Not only is he filial to his father, but he can also get along with his brothers and sisters in harmony. At the same time, he also knows how to educate his son.

In short, in Li Shimin's eyes, Gao Ming, the "successor", is getting more and more pleasing to the eye. The only shortcoming is that the articles he writes are really terrible.

Whenever he thinks of Gao Ming's "My Father", Li Shimin feels a little pain in his brain.

"What's the matter with a pregnant tiger? Am I that fat?"

At this time, Li Shimin suddenly remembered his parrot that died tragically.

Li Shimin once had a parrot, but it was killed by Wei Zheng. He kept this parrot very carefully in Li Lizhi's princess mansion, but unexpectedly died in Gao Ming's hands. Could it be him, Li Shimin? Is there no life to keep a parrot?
What's even more exasperating is that the parrot was poisoned to death by Gao Ming with golden elixir. You must know that those golden elixirs were given to his children by him. In this way, doesn't it mean that the parrot actually died in his own hands? on hand?
Although almost all the Taoist priests and officials related to Jindan were killed, every time he thinks of those Taoist priests who refine poisonous pills, Li Shimin feels very angry. Compared with these guys, Gao Ming can expose their conspiracy , can be regarded as a great achievement.

The most important thing is that since he started eating garlic and drinking mare's milk every day, he feels much more comfortable in his body, which is also a credit to Gao Ming.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin finally felt better.

"Although this kid is quite capable of tossing around, he is still much better than the absurdity he was at the beginning. After a while, let him follow the court to listen to the government."

And Gao Ming didn't know that his chic days were coming to an end. At this time, he was leading Li Mingda to stand under the biggest brothel in Chang'an City, looking at Yingying Yanyan inside, shaking her head and sighing.

"It's too much, it's too scandalous, it's too outrageous, no, I must stop them, son, let's go, go in with elder brother."

"What are you doing in there?"

Seeing the astonishment on Li Mingda's face, Gao Ming narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Sweep pornography!"
