Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 510
Li Shimin didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse to have such a son who looked like a hob, but he was sure of one thing, that is, Gao Ming would definitely not suffer after he ascended the throne.

It's fine if he doesn't bully others, but who can bully him?From this point of view, it should be considered a blessing, right?

But looking at the sticky lump on his robe, whether it was snot or saliva, and thinking of the scene where Gao Ming hugged his thigh and cried, Li Shimin felt powerless for a while.

"Gao Ming, when did he become like this?"

For this question, Li Shimin knew that he was destined to not find the answer, so he didn't think too much about it. After returning to the Forbidden Garden, he left Gao Ming in the Imperial Study Room, while he went to the bedroom to change clothes.

When he walked into the imperial study room, he saw Gao Ming with his back turned to him, bowing his body and not knowing what to do on the copy.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin frowned immediately.

"Gao Ming, what are you doing on my desk?"

"what?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming turned around quickly, shaking his head like a rattle.

"No... nothing!"

Even though Gao Ming had acted innocently, seeing the bulging bag in his arms and the large area on the desk, the corners of Li Shimin's mouth couldn't help twitching again.

"What's this called doing nothing? Are you blind?"

Thinking of this, Li Shimin immediately rubbed his temples in distress, and then waved his hands towards Gao Ming.

"Put the things back first, I have something to tell you!"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming became even more puzzled.

"Something? What?"

Seeing Gao Ming's unrepentant expression, Li Shimin stopped talking nonsense and walked over directly, then reached out and took out a green pen holder from his arms and put it back on the desk, then raised his eyebrows at him.

"What's this? Huh?"

"Uh……"

Gao Ming, who was "stolen and captured", was stunned for a moment, but soon, a frightened expression appeared on his face.

"How could this thing be in my arms? It's really strange. I remember lying on a chair to sleep after I came in just now... Ah, could it be sleepwalking? Or is there something unclean in this room?"

Speaking of this, Gao Ming trembled immediately, as if he was very frightened. Watching this scene, the corners of Li Shimin's mouth twitched even more violently.

You're paralyzed, pretending to be like that, if I hadn't known who you are, I might have been fooled by you!
Watching Gao Ming's "actor-level" drama, Li Shimin sighed helplessly.

"Oh, forget it, you can take these things if you like them, I'm here to talk to you about something serious."

"Ok?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, the horror on Gao Ming's face was instantly swept away, and he winked at Li Shimin.

"If you have something to say, just talk about it. Who of us is with whom? Are you right?"

After finishing speaking, he conveniently stuffed the jade pen holder that Li Shimin put back on the desk into his bosom again. Seeing this scene, the corners of Li Shimin's mouth couldn't help twitching again.

When did this guy become so shameless?Can I really hand over Datang to him in the future?

Thinking of this, a slight melancholy appeared on Li Shimin's face.

Seeing that Li Shimin didn't speak, Gao Ming was not in a hurry, but slowly picked out the things he liked on the desk, stuffing them into his arms as long as he valued them, not paying any attention to Li Shimin standing behind him.

When Li Shimin came back to his senses, more than half of the things on the desk were gone. Seeing this scene, Li Shimin couldn't help showing a shocked expression again.

Is this guy here to rob a house?

Seeing Gao Ming searching his desk, at this moment, Li Shimin suddenly had a strange idea——

If this guy can be born 20 years earlier, maybe Wagangzhai also has his place?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin was a little dazed. He shook his head quickly, as if he was going to get rid of the messy things in his mind, and then looked up at Gao Ming.

"Gao Ming, I plan to attack Yanqi!"

"Yanqi?"

Hearing this name, Gao Ming immediately stopped searching for Li Shimin's desk, and then frowned.

He is very familiar with this name. According to the history he knows, this Yanqi should be a small country with only tens of thousands of people, and it is attached to the Western Turks. It was later wiped out by the Tang Dynasty. Thinking about the time, it seems like this one year.

Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately nodded towards Li Shimin.

"I see, Yanqi is attached to the Western Turks, you can't tolerate them anymore, right? If that's the case, let's destroy them!"

Originally Gao Ming thought that his words of approval would appeal to Li Shimin, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, Li Shimin showed a look of shock.

"What? You said that Yanqi was attached to the Western Turks? How did you know?"

"You do not know?"

Seeing Li Shimin's shocked expression, Gao Ming frowned suddenly.

"Since this is not the reason, then why did you kill Yanqi?"

Hearing Gao Ming's question, Li Shimin frowned slightly, and then told Gao Ming in detail.

"Actually it's like this..."

It turns out that the countries in the Western Regions have always had the practice of paying tribute to the Tang Dynasty. Many of the Longyanxiang, glazed items, wine and some blankets in the palace came from the tributes from the countries in the Western Regions.

In the past, when this month came, envoys from the Western Regions should have arrived in Chang'an, but this year they did not, so Li Shimin sent someone to investigate, but what they found out made Li Shimin shocked and angry.

It turned out that it was not that the tribute envoys did not come, but that they came, but they were intercepted and killed in Yanqi. Not only the tribute was robbed, but all the envoys were also killed!
After hearing the news, Li Shimin was immediately angry.

This is no longer just a matter of the countries in the Western Regions, it is a provocation to Datang!
Li Shimin believed that the envoys from the Western Regions must have brought hundreds of guards with them when they came to Chang'an, but they were still massacred, which means that the people who did it must not be ordinary robbers, but the army of a country!

And if the incident happened in Yanqi, even if Yanqi didn't do it, it would have nothing to do with them, so we can only kill Yanqi, which can be regarded as killing chickens and monkeys!
But now when Gao Ming said that Yanqi was attached to the Western Turks, Li Shimin suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

"That's right, don't the Turks like burning, killing and looting? Since Yanqi is attached to them, the people who intercepted and killed the envoys from the Western Regions must be the Turks!"

Thinking of this, Li Shimin slapped the table with a "bang".

"Damn it! The Turkic people are so deceitful. In the September of last year, I personally named Yibi Shekui the Khan of the Western Turks. I didn't expect him to betray me. I will kill them all!"

Seeing Li Shimin's furious look, Gao Ming shrugged his shoulders immediately.

"Okay, anyway, I also think that the territory of the Anxi Governor's Mansion is a bit small. After the Western Turks are wiped out, the Silk Road from the Tang Dynasty to the Western Regions will be safer. If this is the case, let's send troops!"
