Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 534 Li Shimin's Congratulations
In terms of speaking, Gao Ming has always been very casual, because he knows that even if he says something wrong, Li Shimin will tolerate him.

But this does not mean that he will be unscrupulous, because he is not sure where Li Shimin's bottom line is. After all, the saying "accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger" is not just casually said.

For example, when Guo Zuo was involved this time, Gao Ming was really in a hurry.

But what surprised him was that Li Shimin did not lose his temper as he imagined, but sighed with emotion.

"Sigh...Gao Ming, ever since you woke up from a coma last time, I always felt that it was the ancestors of my Li family who appeared, but now..."

"Old man, listen to my explanation..."

Gao Ming was about to explain something, but Li Shimin waved his hand at him, and then smiled at him.

"Now, I am more sure of this conjecture!"

"what?"

Seeing Li Shimin's sudden smiling face, Gao Ming was stunned.

"I just said that Tang Dynasty's Guozuo is only 289 years old, are you not angry?"

In Gao Ming's opinion, with Li Shimin's temper, he should be furious, but what is this gratified look in front of him?
As if he had guessed Gao Ming's thoughts, Li Shimin smiled and shook his head immediately.

"What's there to be angry about? As you said before in court, the Qin Dynasty was only 14 years old, and the Western Han and Eastern Han Dynasties were only about 200 years old. Even if my Tang Dynasty is only 289 years old, it has already completely surpassed them. In this way, I The Great Tang Dynasty has already surpassed Qin Huang Han Wu, I am too late to be happy, so how can I be angry?"

"Uh……"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming was stunned again, and after realizing it, he bowed his hands to Li Shimin sincerely.

"You're right. In fact, even if you don't talk about Tang Guozuo, in my heart, you are more than Qin Huang Han Wu Ming Jun!"

"is it?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin immediately smiled and waved towards him.

"You don't need to make me happy. In fact, I also know that many ministers in the court often compare me and Yang Guang in private, saying that I killed my brother to seize the throne, and resorted to military force. Even so, do you still think that I am a wise king? "

"Of course!"

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Gao Ming nodded immediately.

"It is undeniable that you are the same as Yang Guang in many aspects, but there is an essential difference between you in one point. What Yang Guang left for future generations is a mess, but what you left for me is an iron bucket Jiangshan, and this difference determines that Yang Guang is just a subjugated king, but you can become a wise king through the ages and be praised by future generations!"

"Eternal Mingjun?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin was startled at first, but then he burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, hearing your words, I feel that everything I have done is worth it. Gao Ming, you did not disappoint me. It is the Tang Dynasty's fortune and my fortune to have a prince like you!"

"hey-hey……"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming immediately grinned, and waved towards him while smiling.

"Actually, I don't think I'm that good. I just try my best. However, I don't know whether everything I do will make Datang better, or it will be counterproductive, because these are unknown. Yes, so I can only try my best not to let myself regret it!"

Gao Ming said what was in his heart, Li Shimin could also see this, so he nodded again.

"It's enough for you not to let yourself regret it. As for the future, I can't control it. All I can do is not to let myself regret it!"

Having said that, Li Shimin patted Gao Ming on the shoulder, and then smiled at him again.

"You did a good job in the court this morning. After this reward, the land year limit of my Tang Dynasty has been officially established. This is a great achievement. Just say what you want!"

When he said this, the smile on Li Shimin's face was a bit forced.

It's not because he is reluctant to reward Gao Ming, but because Gao Ming is now the crown prince, and he is also the chief strategist of the Tang Dynasty.

However, if he didn't reward him, Li Shimin felt uneasy, so a trace of helplessness flashed across his face.

Gao Ming also roughly guessed some of Li Shimin's thoughts, and he immediately shook his head and laughed.

"There is no need for rewards. As the saying goes, 'seeking government in his position', as the heir of the Tang Dynasty, these are all things I should do. If you really plan to reward me, take good care of your health and let me do more. Idle Prince Nian, this is the greatest reward for me!"

"Ha ha!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin couldn't help pointing at him and laughing.

"You lazy guy, I knew you would say that, well, since you have said so, then I will help you carry the burden of Datang for a few more years, and when I can no longer carry it, I will take the Zen seat Here it is, just like the original one!"

Gao Ming knew that what Li Shimin was talking about was the fact that Li Yuan gave him the Zen throne at that time, but Gao Ming didn't intend to delve into this issue with Li Shimin, but directly bowed to him.

"Then please leave it to your father!"

Seeing Gao Ming's solemn expression, Li Shimin immediately smiled and waved his hands.

"You've been calling me old man for so long, and I'm used to it, so I don't need to change my words. You can still call me that in private. As long as you still know me as the father in your heart, it doesn't matter what you call him."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin seemed to think of something, and immediately raised his chin towards Gao Ming.

"One more thing is that they brought back more than 2 cows and 5 sheep this time. They will arrive in Chang'an in a short time. I know you like to eat beef. When the time comes, you will send someone to bring [-] head go back!"

"what?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming's eyes widened immediately.

"Isn't our Tang Dynasty short of cattle? And you have issued an imperial decree not to slaughter cattle privately. This time you asked me to surround two thousand head. Will this affect you badly?"

Although Gao Ming really likes to eat beef, he is not the kind of person who doesn't prioritize, so he immediately asked Li Shimin.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, Li Shimin burst out laughing again.

"Hahahaha...I didn't expect you to remember this!"

Having said that, Li Shimin nodded immediately.

"Well, that's right, I did issue an imperial decree that no one is allowed to slaughter farm cattle privately, but this refers to farm cattle, but those cattle on the grassland cannot be farm cattle, so they can only be slaughtered, which is also impossible thing!"

"Cows on the prairie can't be farm cattle? Who said that?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming's eyes widened immediately, seeing his surprised look, Li Shimin also frowned.

"Isn't it? Cattle need to be trained from an early age. The cattle on the grassland are used to the wild, and there is no way to plow the field. I have already had people try it!"

"This is impossible!"

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Gao Ming immediately waved his hand.

"There is no cow that can't plow the fields. Even if it is disobedient, at worst, put a nose ring on it, and when the time comes to lead it by the nose, I don't believe it will not go away!"

"Nose ring?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin's eyes widened immediately.

"What is this nose ring? It's so magical?"

"Uh……"
