Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 55 The Frightened Grandson Wuji

This time, Gao Ming was able to match the pair played by Changsun Wuji, which was actually a little bit of water, because at that time, everyone didn't have the concept of "flatness", so in their opinion, no one could fault Gao Ming's second line.

"As expected of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Looking at the high-spirited Gao Ming, all the civil and military officials in the court were stunned, and Changsun Wuji was not much better. He looked at Gao Ming in astonishment, but he couldn't say a word, and the entire court was silent.

At this moment, there was a burst of loud laughter from above.

"Hahahahaha..."

Hearing this laughter, everyone looked up and found that it was Li Shimin, who stood up while laughing.

"It's good to say 'I bow down to the ministers in the morning, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live', good! good! good!"

Li Shimin said three good words in a row, but when everyone was waiting for the next sentence, he waved his hand.

"Okay, let's go back!"

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, the eunuch next to him shouted loudly.

"Back—towards—"

Hearing the eunuch's call to retreat, the civil and military officials in the court immediately stood back to their original positions, then bowed to Li Shimin together, and shouted in unison.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

The voices were neat and loud, apparently they had gotten used to shouting in the past few days.

Li Shimin left satisfied. Although he didn't say it clearly just now, everyone heard what he meant from what he said, so everyone looked at Gao Ming differently.

Facing the eager gazes of civil and military officials from all courts, the smile on Gao Ming's face became even brighter.

"I'm hanging on like this, why are you scared? Hahahaha..."

Just as Gao Ming was happily walking out, he was stopped by Changsun Wuji.

"His Royal Highness, please stay!"

Hearing Changsun Wuji's voice, Gao Ming stopped immediately, and then cupped his hands towards him with a smile on his face.

"Duke Zhao called Xiao Wang to stop, what advice do you have?"

There was a smile on Gao Ming's face, but there was no smile in his tone of voice. After hearing his words, the ministers who were standing beside him all took a few steps back in unison. Wuji distanced himself.

Of course Gao Ming was in a bad mood. After all, Changsun Wuji had targeted him in court just now. It was good that he didn't take the initiative to make trouble. Now this old fox dares to come up to him. If he is not allowed to touch a soft nail, he will Do you think Grandpa is easy to bully?

Changsun Wuji's courtship for so many years was not in vain, and he immediately noticed the strangeness in Gao Ming's tone, and he couldn't help showing a wry smile.

"Gao Ming, uncle is not your enemy!"

Of course Gao Ming knew that Changsun Wuji was not his enemy, otherwise he would not have taken out couplets to make things difficult for him, but a memorial to impeach him.

Changsun Wuji, as the "first brother" in the court, not to mention many, there are always dozens of younger brothers. If he wants to frame someone, it doesn't take much effort at all.

This point, Gao Ming is clearer than anyone else.

Therefore, Gao Ming didn't regard Changsun Wuji as an enemy. Just now he just wanted to make Changsun Wuji lose face, and he didn't intend to chase after him. Then he called Gao Ming to stop.

Now that he heard Changsun Wuji's words that were almost soft, Gao Ming couldn't put on that look of rejecting others, but shook his head helplessly, and then sighed again.

"Alas! Actually, I have never regarded my uncle as an enemy, but my uncle is a relative, so I should be more careful!"

Hearing these words, Changsun Wuji's eyes widened in surprise.

During the Han Dynasty, the intervention of foreign relatives and eunuchs brought very serious consequences to the rulers at that time, so the later monarchs were on guard against foreign relatives and eunuchs, and foreign relatives and eunuchs also became very sensitive topics.

Even Gao Ming's cheap mother, Empress Changsun, told Li Shimin when she was dying that he should not reuse members of the Changsun family.

But Li Shimin didn't do this, until Wu Zetian came to power later, Xu Jingzong framed the eldest grandson Wuji, and a generation of power ministers finally ended up dead in a foreign land, which is really embarrassing.

As a time traveler, he knew all these historical masters, so he planned to remind Changsun Wuji not to be too authoritarian. If this continues, there will definitely be no good results in the future.

Of course Changsun Wuji heard what Gao Ming meant, and he also drew inferences from one instance.

"Could it be that His Majesty has begun to suspect me?"

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji's cold sweat broke out immediately. He knew Li Shimin's cruelty very well, so he made a decision immediately.

"No, I must explain this matter clearly to His Majesty, and must not let him misunderstand, otherwise the eldest grandson's family will be in great trouble!"

After making a decision, Changsun Wuji couldn't catch up to continue chatting with Gao Ming. After saying hello, he hurried out of the hall.

Seeing Changsun Wuji running out in a hurry, the surrounding ministers were immediately curious, and several ministers moved towards Gao Ming.

"Hey, His Royal Highness, why did the eldest grandson leave in such a hurry?"

Hearing this question, Gao Ming shrugged helplessly.

"Just now I sent out a couplet to my eldest grandson, but my eldest grandson didn't agree with me, so I ran home in a hurry, probably because I was going to gather people to make a second couplet!"

As a master of nonsense, his ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense is not bad at all, and immediately made several ministers around him choke and roll their eyes.

Couplets?Coax you!

But they didn't dare to turn against Gao Ming, after all, when this master was in the main hall just now, he didn't even give face to the eldest grandson Wuji of "the first brother in the court", didn't they go up to deliver food?
Therefore, they can only follow Gao Ming's words.

"Hehe...Then dare to ask His Royal Highness, what is the Shanglian?"

When Gao Ming heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows, and then grinned.

"My first couplet is simple, only five words, that is-Yan Suo Pond Willow!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming walked out of the court hall with a smile, then got on the chariot and left, leaving behind a group of stunned ministers.

"Smoke Lock Pond Willow?"

Soon, a few quick-witted ministers realized that the five-character couplet was not simple at all.

This upper couplet not only has the requirement of "gold, wood, water, fire and earth" in the shape of the characters, but also the requirement in the artistic conception is not simple. Even if the factor of "flatness" is not taken into consideration, not everyone can match it.

So at this time, all the ministers were completely dumbfounded.

"How should this couplet be correct?"
