Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 453 Peninsula Policy
After Gao Ming gave Jin Shengman a promise, he did not let her return to Silla immediately, but stayed her in the palace of Goguryeo for one night.

Of course, Gao Ming didn't keep her because he was full of male hormones and was going to have sex with her, but to explain to her what autonomy is and what should be paid attention to in the management of the peninsula.

Jin Shengman herself is a very smart woman, and she quickly understood what Gao Ming meant.

"His Royal Highness, the self-government you mentioned means that although the peninsula will belong to the Tang Dynasty in the future, the governance and appointment of officials will still follow the old Silla rules, right?"

Hearing Jin Shengman's question, Gao Ming shook his head.

"No, in terms of governance and appointment of officials, it is not according to Silla's rules, but according to your rules. Everything is up to you!"

Jin Shengman didn't seem to expect that Gao Ming would say that, and suddenly showed surprise on his face.

"What do I say?"

Seeing her unbelievable expression, Gao Ming immediately smiled and nodded.

"Yes! It's what you say. Here, you are the Emperor of the Earth. At that time, I will leave an adjutant in charge of the army to assist you. The purpose is to protect your safety and maintain the stability of the peninsula. He will not interfere with any of your affairs. decided, so you don't have to worry, understand?"

In Gao Ming's view, although self-government is not a problem, military power must be in his hands, otherwise he is not at ease.

Jin Shengman also understood this, so after hearing Gao Ming's words, she also nodded.

"Well, this is also to prevent the remnants of Goguryeo and Baekje from resurfacing, Shengman understands!"

Speaking of this, she immediately revealed a face of shyness.

"Your Highness, it's getting late, Shengman's arms are down to his knees, do you want to take another look?"

Seeing her delicate and charming appearance, Gao Ming raised his eyebrows immediately.

"Hey...then I just take a look?"

"..."

The next day, Jin Shengman set off very early. When leaving, Gao Ming specially sent Zhang Liang to escort her back to Silla with [-] soldiers and horses.

The reason why he sent so many soldiers and horses to escort him, Gao Ming mainly has two intentions, one is to protect her safety, and the other is to support her and remove all obstacles to her in Silla.

In fact, Jin Shengman is also distressed about how to stabilize her position in Silla. After all, she has just ascended the throne, and she has not straightened out many old forces in Silla.

But it's different now, with the hundred thousand troops that Gao Ming gave her, she can quickly cut through the mess, wipe out those opposing forces in one fell swoop, and quickly build up her own team.

Thinking of what Gao Ming said to him yesterday, Jin Shengman secretly made up his mind.

"His Highness trusts me so much, and entrusts me with the entire peninsula. I must not let him down."

Gao Ming didn't know what Jin Shengman was thinking. After coming out of the Goguryeo Palace, he sent her to the gate of Pyongyang City, and then stood on the tower to watch her gradually go away, with some reluctance in his eyes.

"It's estimated that I won't see her hanging arms above her knees for a long time..."

Hearing Gao Ming's muttering, Meng Xin who was standing beside him covered his mouth and laughed.

"Hee hee, it seems that His Highness likes the Queen of Silla very much. Did Your Highness have a good time last night?"

"Well, it's okay, but I'm a little nervous... Nervous, uh... Actually, I'm doing it for Datang too!"

"..."

Seeing the disbelief written on Meng Xin's face, Gao Ming was a little embarrassed and coughed twice.

"Ahem... Although it seems that I have put her to sleep, in fact, I am trying to trick her into being a good boy again, making her deeply obsessed with my beauty, in exchange for the stability of the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years. , do you understand my painstaking efforts?"

"..."

Believe you are a ghost!
Meng Xin had long been accustomed to clever nonsense, so she simply turned her head and ignored him.

Gao Ming saw that Meng Xin hadn't been fooled into limping, and suddenly became angry from embarrassment. He stretched out his hand and pinched her buttocks, then glared at her.

"Damn girl, you dare to throw face at me, go back early tonight to wash your hands, and then go to my room and wait to see how I deal with you!"

"..."

At this time, there were other people on the tower, and Meng Xin was so ashamed after being assaulted in public, she covered her face and ran away.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming immediately thought of Su Wan'er who was far away in Chang'an.

"It's been more than three months since I left Chang'an. Su Wan'er should be a woman with a big belly now, right? There are also Mei Niang and Zhou Hong. I guess I will be unbearably lonely when I am not here. I really want to go back to accompany them sooner!"

Now that the war on the peninsula is over, Gao Ming can be said to be returning home, but because there are still some spoils that have not been looted, he can only stay on the peninsula patiently.

A few days later, the big households in Pyongyang City were almost exploited by Meng Xin. After Cheng Yaojin came back with the property seized from the Baekje Palace, Gao Ming planned to return to the dynasty.

Gao Ming originally planned to search all the state capitals, but Xue Rengui dissuaded him in time.

"His Royal Highness, now that we have just pacified Goguryeo and Baekje, it is really inappropriate to charge heavy taxes to the people here, and the garrisons in each state capital also need a certain amount of expenses, so it is better to keep a part of the money in each state capital."

Hearing Xue Rengui's words, Gao Ming thought for a while and nodded immediately.

"Well, that's right. The common people will rebel if they are in a hurry. It will be a trouble at that time. Well, I won't move the money of each state capital. All the people in the peninsula will be exempted from tax for one year."

"Your Highness is wise!"

Xue Rengui sent a timely flattery, and immediately burst out laughing happily.

"Hahahaha, Rengui, you really can talk. You are much better than Huzi's stunned young man. It just so happens that the peninsula needs someone who is in charge of the military. I plan to let you stay. What do you think?"

"what?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Xue Rengui's eyes widened immediately.

"Your Highness, this... the last general, He De and He Neng, how can I take on this great task, I..."

"Okay, let's leave you, me and me!"

Before he could finish speaking, Gao Ming interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"This time Datang fought against the peninsula, you also made a lot of contributions, and you are still my valued person. In the future, Datang will need you to contribute a lot. Now leading such a small peninsula is just a It's just a test for you, you don't have to refuse anymore!"

Hearing that Gao Ming had reached this point, Xue Rengui couldn't say anything more, so he quickly knelt down on one knee, and then cupped his fists towards Gao Ming.

"The general understands, and the general will definitely do his best to live up to His Highness's trust!"

"Well, that's good, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

After Xue Rengui stood up, Gao Ming smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"In the future, the former Queen of Silla, Jin Shengman, will be in charge of this land. After I return to Chang'an, the imperial court will appoint you as Liaodong Jiedu envoy, commanding 20 soldiers and horses. You must assist Jin Shengman to manage the peninsula well." ,do you know?"

After listening to the clever words, Xue Rengui immediately nodded seriously.

"Yes, my subordinates understand!"
