Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 538 The decision to bite the gold
Cheng Yaojin originally thought that the bull's nose ring was a work for nothing, but now it has become a coexistence of risks and benefits, which made him hesitate a bit.

It's like a fish in a river, although it looks plump, it counts only if you can catch it. If you don't catch the fish at that time, it will cause you a lot of trouble if you get fishy.

Seeing that Cheng Yaojin stopped talking suddenly, Gao Ming was not in a hurry, just filled a glass of wine for himself with a smile, and then took a sip lightly.

"Good wine!"

The wine was really good wine, Gao Ming could taste it, it was high-grade wine bought from the Royal Club, and it was the kind that had been distilled twice. Because the constant quantity was scarce, it was only supplied to a few important ministers.

Gao Ming knew very well that since Cheng Yaojin was able to treat himself with this wine, it meant that he really wanted to ask himself, but now he hesitated, which shows that he also understands that this matter is not that simple.

Putting a cow's nose ring on is a trivial thing to put it bluntly. I'm afraid that someone will take the opportunity to make trouble. If one of them is not handled well, there will be a big mess. Even a military leader like Cheng Yaojin Maybe it will stumble.

After all, in this era, the power of Confucianism cannot be underestimated. It is precisely because of this understanding that Gao Ming understands why Cheng Yaojin hesitated.

But Gao Ming has already made up his mind, even if Cheng Yaojin refuses to do it, it doesn't matter, anyway, he planned to do it himself.

Gao Ming believed that, with his reputation and charisma, no one would dare to stroke his whiskers, and even if there were, it didn't matter, as long as one came and shot the other to death.

Thinking of this, Gao Ming smiled again, then stood up and cupped his hands towards Cheng Yaojin.

"I'm full of wine and food, I should go, and I'm very satisfied with this meal, thank Uncle Cheng for the hospitality, then I'll take my leave first, don't send me off!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming turned around and left, but before he could take two steps, Cheng Yaojin's voice came from behind him.

"His Royal Highness, please stay a little longer. I have something to say about the cow nose ring!"

"Ok?"

Hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Gao Ming stopped immediately, and then turned around in surprise.

"Uncle Cheng, what do you mean, you plan to be in charge of the cow nose ring?"

"Correct!"

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin nodded with a serious face.

"The old minister thought about it just now. Since the cattle were brought back by the old minister, then this matter should be done by the veteran. If it can make my Tang Dynasty have [-] more cattle, it will be worthwhile to cause some troubles, and... "

Speaking of this, Cheng Yaojin immediately grinned.

"And I'm not someone who is afraid of trouble. When I finish this matter, it's okay if no one makes trouble. If someone does, then I'm not easy to mess with!"

Seeing Cheng Yaojin suddenly put on a domineering face, Gao Ming's eyes once again flashed a hint of surprise.

"Cheng Yaojin, is this serious? Haha, interesting!"

Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately laughed, walked back while laughing, and then sat down again in his position just now.

After sitting down, he raised his chin towards Cheng Yaojin.

"Uncle Cheng, I think we can have two more glasses of this wine!"

"Hahahaha, that's right!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Cheng Yaojin laughed again, while laughing, he slapped Cheng Chusi next to him, and began to curse with laughter.

"Idiot, why are you still standing there? Didn't you hear what His Royal Highness said? Why don't you pour wine for His Highness?"

"Ah? Yes, yes! I pour this wine!"

At first Cheng Chusi was a little dazed, but after hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, he immediately reacted and stood up in a hurry to pour wine for Gao Ming.

Seeing him in a hurry, Gao Ming grinned again.

"Haha, Brother Cheng is a straightforward person. Uncle Cheng doesn't need to be so harsh. I can do such trivial things as pouring wine by myself. Let's talk about the cow nose ring. Is there any paper and pen in the house?"

"Paper and pen?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, before Cheng Yaojin could speak, Cheng Chuliang, who was sitting next to Cheng Chusi, nodded his head and stood up.

"Yes, yes, the princess usually likes to practice calligraphy, so the mansion has always had the Four Treasures of the Study, so I'll go and get them!"

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly ran to get paper and pen for Gao Ming. Seeing this scene, Cheng Yaojin nodded with a smile on his face.

"Well, this kid is clever, come here, His Royal Highness don't care about him, let's continue drinking, the old minister hasn't told you about the expedition against Xue Yantuo yet!"

"Uh……"

Although Gao Ming didn't really want to hear about Cheng Yaojin's "brilliant achievements" at this time, seeing his expression of displeasure, he could only nod helplessly in order to prevent him from making trouble.

"Okay, Uncle Cheng, tell me, I'm listening!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Cheng Yaojin laughed even more happily.

"Hey, it's actually like this. After Yuchi Heizi and I set off from Goguryeo, less than half a month later, we met Xue Yantuo's bastards on the Kelulun River..."

Talking about his proud achievements, Cheng Yaojin became energetic all of a sudden, and his whole body was full of excitement from inside to outside. Under his influence, Gao Ming, who was originally a bit lacking in interest, couldn't help but devote himself to the competition. in his story.

When Cheng Chuliang came back with a pen and paper, Cheng Yaojin was talking about how he led [-] Tang troops to chase after Xue Yantuo's dozen tribes. Seeing his enthusiasm, Cheng Chuliang didn't dare to disturb him, so he could only wait quietly with.

And when Cheng Yaojin was about to speak, the sky had gradually darkened. It wasn't until this time that Gao Ming realized that he had actually stayed in Cheng Yaojin's mansion for the whole afternoon.

"It's so late, it seems that I should deal with the matter quickly, so I can go back early, so that Wan'er and the others won't worry."

Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately cupped his hands towards Cheng Yaojin.

"Uncle Cheng, it's getting late when you look at the sky, I'd better tell you how to wear this bull nose ring first!"

"what?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Cheng Yaojin, who was already a little dazed from drinking, suddenly raised his head, glanced at the darkening sky, then smiled and waved his hands.

"His Royal Highness, don't worry, it doesn't matter if it's getting late, the old minister asked the servants to serve some more hot dishes, let's continue to drink!"

"Uh……"

Seeing Cheng Yaojin who was no longer in the state, Gao Ming sighed helplessly, and then waved to Cheng Chuliang.

"It seems that even if I tell you, you still can't figure it out. Liang, you should call Li Jing out. I'll teach her how to wear a cow nose ring, and I'll let her teach you later!"

Li Jing is Princess Qinghe and Cheng Chuliang's wife. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also very intelligent, and is deeply trusted by the Cheng family.

So, as soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, the eyes of Cheng's father and son lit up, and Cheng Yaojin hurriedly urged Cheng Chuliang.

"Didn't you hear His Highness the Crown Prince's words? Hurry up and get the princess out, uh... no, go get the princess out!"

"..."

Looking at Cheng Yaojin who was so excited that he couldn't choose what to say, Gao Ming shook his head helplessly again.

But he didn't intend to pursue this matter, but took the pen and paper from Cheng Chuliang's hand, and then lay down on the table and began to draw seriously.
