Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 540

After Gao Ming told Cheng Yaojin his plan, he left Cheng's mansion and returned to the East Palace.

A few days later, Cheng Yaojin sent someone to inform Gao Ming that everything was ready. After receiving the news, Gao Ming immediately came to the imperial study room, and then opened his mouth to Li Shimin with a smile on his face.

"Old man, there is a good opportunity to earn fame, will you come?"

"Uh……"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the corners of Li Shimin's mouth twitched immediately.

This guy really dares to say anything!

But Li Shimin also knew that Gao Ming was not the kind of person who would aim at nothing, so even though he felt very awkward at the moment, he still nodded towards Gao Ming.

"What kind of good opportunity, tell me!"

"Okay!"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming found a chair beside him and sat down, then smiled at him again.

"It's like this. Lu Guogong has already done the matter of putting the nose ring on the cow that I said before, and the effect is not bad so far, so I plan to take some time to go outside Chang'an City, and personally demonstrate to the people how to use grassland cows. Cultivated land, are you going?"

"Huh? Plowing the fields?"

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

Seeing the change of Li Shimin's expression, Gao Ming suddenly showed an expression of "if so".

Gao Ming once heard from Su Wan'er that when Empress Changsun was still alive, almost every year during the planting season, Li Shimin would take Empress Changsun and other civil and military officials to do farm work outside the city for a day. : "Share the suffering with the people".

Usually, Li Shimin digs the ground with a hoe, and Empress Changsun follows him to sow seeds.

However, it is undeniable that the effect of doing so is quite good. After more than ten years, Li Shimin has gained a lot of popular support and reputation.

But now, when he heard that Gao Ming planned to use the prairie cattle to plow the land outside the city, he immediately realized that this was indeed a rare opportunity to gain prestige, so naturally he would not give up.

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, he nodded immediately.

"Well, it is my duty to educate the people, how can I not go? Go! Of course I have to go!"

Seeing Li Shimin's upright expression, Gao Ming resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and cupped his hands towards him.

"Since you agree, then choose a time and bring the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs with you at that time. If someone talks about the bull nose ring, I will also solve it together!"

"Ok?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, a trace of surprise flashed across Li Shimin's face, but he nodded quickly.

"Okay, let's set the time tomorrow. After the morning court, I will take all the civil and military officials to do farm work outside the city in the afternoon!"

Li Shimin didn't ask Gao Ming how to deal with those who provoked troubles, because for him, gaining popular support and reputation is the most important thing.

As for how Gao Ming wants to deal with those pedantic Confucian scholars, that is Gao Ming's own business, so he can't be bothered!
Seeing Li Shimin's attitude, Gao Ming immediately understood what he meant, and he laughed again.

"Haha, okay, then tomorrow at noon I will prepare the cattle and farm tools, and then wait for you outside the city. If there is nothing else, I will go back first!"

"Well, go back!"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming immediately bowed his hands and bowed to him, then backed out.

In order to have a good spirit the next day, after returning to the East Palace, Gao Ming took an early rest.

Su Wan'er also knew that Gao Ming was going to do farm work outside the city, so after he fell asleep, he asked Shi Shu and Shi Jian to go to the kitchen to prepare some snacks, and planned to let Gao Ming take them outside the city to eat tomorrow.

So, when Gao Ming woke up the next day, he found that Shi Shu and Shi Jian had prepared more than a dozen food boxes of snacks and placed them neatly on the carriage.

Seeing this scene, he was immediately dumbfounded.

"What are you guys doing? I'm going to work, not for an outing. What are you doing with so much food?"

"This……"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Shi Shu hesitated for a moment, and then gave Gao Ming a blessing.

"Reporting to His Royal Highness, the Crown Princess said that these snacks are for His Royal Highness to take outside the city to eat. I heard that His Majesty will bring civil and military officials there, so I will prepare more."

"For civil and military officials to eat?"

As soon as Shishu's words fell, Gao Ming frowned immediately, and then shook his head helplessly.

"You guys are wrong about this. Those guys are usually well-clothed and well-fed. It would be a waste for them to eat this snack. But since the snacks are all made, I will take them away. I won't be back at noon. You guys Eat it yourself, I'm leaving!"

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Amid the respectful sound of the crowd, Gao Ming jumped into the carriage. After waving his hands at Shi Shu and Shi Jian, he drove the carriage out of the palace and headed out of the city.

Not long after leaving the Mingde Gate, Gao Ming heard a familiar voice next to him.

"His Royal Highness! Your Royal Highness, I am here!"

"Shut up!"

Hearing the sound, Gao Ming quickly pulled the rein of the nanny horse to stop the carriage, and then turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.

At a glance, Gao Ming immediately spotted Cheng Chusi in coarse clothes, and he was stunned when he saw this scene.

"you……"

Seeing Gao Ming's dumbfounded look, Cheng Chusi immediately grinned.

"Haha, I'm just disguised, what's the matter? Don't you recognize me at all?"

"..."

Bullshit, just like your bear, I can tell at a glance!

Although in his heart he despises Cheng Chusi's so-called "dressing up in disguise", seeing his excited appearance, Gao Ming can only do his best to cooperate with him.

"Uh...Brother Cheng, your outfit is..."

"Ha ha!"

Seeing Gao Ming's cooperation, Cheng Chusi couldn't help laughing proudly.

"Actually, my father asked us to dress up like this, saying that we will cooperate with you in the crowd when His Royal Highness speaks, how about it? Great!"

"Uh... too tired, hehehe..."

"His Royal Highness, why are you speaking so weakly? Did you come here without eating in the morning? This is not acceptable. I have a roast chicken here. You can eat it!"

"..."

Watching Cheng Chusi take out a roast chicken from his arms, Gao Ming's expression became dull again—how could there be a roast chicken hidden in the tattered clothes?

After a while, Gao Ming let out a long breath, and then waved his hand towards Cheng Chusi.

"Brother Cheng, I appreciate your kindness. There is no need to roast chicken. Let's get down to business, where's the cow?"

"It's in the nearby grove, please come with me, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

After finishing speaking, Cheng Chusi turned around and walked towards the direction of the grove, stuffing the roast chicken into his arms as he walked.

Seeing his shiny chest, the corners of Gao Ming's mouth twitched again.

"Damn, it's disgusting..."
