Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 550

Gao Ming remembered that Ashina Helu should have rebelled after Li Shimin's death and became the Great Khan of Western Turks, but now Li Shimin told him that Ashina Helu had rebelled, which made him a little dazed.

"No way? How dare he rebel now?"

Li Shimin was quite angry at first, but after hearing Gao Ming's words, the expression on his face turned into confusion.

"Didn't you say Ashina Helu would rebel before? Why do you seem surprised that he is rebelling now?"

"Ugh……"

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming sighed for a long time, then shook his head again.

"Ashina Helu was cultivated by you. Originally, I thought that as long as you are alive, the old man would not dare to rebel, but now it seems that this is not the case. This guy should rebel whenever he has the opportunity!"

"Hahahaha!"

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing out loud, and waved his hand towards Gao Ming while laughing.

"Gao Ming, although they all call me Heavenly Khan, my name alone is not enough to deter them. What they are afraid of is the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under my command, even Ashina Helu the same!"

Having said that, Li Shimin stroked his beard again immediately, then nodded towards Gao Ming.

"However, I am still very happy to hear you say that. It is true that I gave Ashina Helu today, so this time I have to let him know that since I can let him have everything today, naturally It can also make him lose everything!"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin's gaze also became sharper. Seeing this scene, Gao Ming gritted his teeth immediately, and then looked up at Li Shimin.

"Since Ashina Helu has turned against him, for the sake of Tang's prestige, we can't let it go, but Lu Guogong and E Guogong have just returned not long ago, so it's not appropriate to let them continue to fight, it's better to let me..."

Before Gao Ming finished speaking, Li Shimin smiled and waved to the hall.

"I understand what you mean, but I can't agree!"

Having said this, Li Shimin immediately stood up with the chair supported, and then put his hands on Gao Ming's shoulders.

"Gao Ming, you are the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. It took you only half a month to conquer Goguryeo and Baekje. This has fully proved your talent, and it is enough. If even a small matter like a border rebellion requires you to take action , then wouldn’t it be that I’m going to be ridiculed that I’m nobody in Tang Dynasty?”

"But……"

Gao Ming was about to defend himself, but Li Shimin waved his hand again.

"Gao Ming, compared to Ashina Helu's rebellion, I hope you can handle Quyuanli and Niubihuan's affairs well. This is related to the future foundation of our Tang Dynasty, so you will be responsible for this expedition. Don’t worry about it, you’ve already done what you should do, and the rest is what others should do!”

In fact, Gao Ming didn't want to leave at this time, because according to the imperial doctor's diagnosis, Su Wan'er was about to give birth in less than a month, so Gao Ming also hoped to stay in the palace with Su Wan'er, and wait for his own child born.

So Li Shimin, who was listening now, had talked about this, and he simply agreed.

"This... well, but who do you plan to send this time? This is facing Western Turks and Ashina Helu at the same time. Neither side is easy to deal with. Even if ordinary people go there, they can't hold back!"

"Can't you shout? What does this mean?"

Seeing Li Shimin's surprised look, Gao Ming immediately grinned.

"Ho can't hold back means that you can't control the situation!"

"I see!"

Hearing Gao Ming's explanation, Li Shimin immediately stroked his beard and laughed.

"Don't worry, this time I plan to go on a personal conquest, with my ability, I will definitely be able to hold back, hahahaha!"

"..."

Originally Gao Ming thought that Li Shimin had some good candidates for the expedition, but he didn't expect that he actually planned to lead the expedition himself, so after hearing his words, the corners of Gao Ming's mouth couldn't help twitching.

"Just now he clearly said that if I go to the expedition, I will be laughed at by the Tang Dynasty, but now he plans to go on the expedition by himself. He is not worried about being laughed at by the Tang Dynasty. He obviously wants to go, right?"

Thinking of this, Gao Ming could only smile reluctantly towards Li Shimin.

"That...old man, if it were you, I think you can live with it, but the courtiers probably won't agree, so..."

Before Gao Ming could finish speaking, Li Shimin replied calmly.

"They all agreed!"

"There's nothing they can do if they don't agree, after all...uh..."

Gao Ming originally thought that it was impossible for the ministers in the court to agree to Li Shimin's imperial conquest, so after hearing Li Shimin's words, he began to speak on his own, but in the middle of speaking, he realized that what Li Shimin said was that the courtiers agreed, and he Immediately, a shocked expression appeared.

"What? They all agreed? How could they agree?"

Li Shimin seemed very satisfied with Gao Ming's shocked look, seeing him staring at him intently, Li Shimin immediately laughed.

"Haha, I am proficient in everything in literature, governance and martial arts, why don't they agree, besides, the people who usually oppose me the most are still farming outside Chang'an City, it's all thanks to you!"

"Uh……"

Seeing Gao Ming's stunned expression, Li Shimin patted Gao Ming's shoulder again, then nodded to him with a smile.

"Gao Ming, I have already made an agreement with the ministers. After the imperial conquest, you will be in charge of the country. At that time, you will not be able to sleep until the sun is high like you are now. You must get up and go to the court before three o'clock. This is your duty, understand?"

"But……"

Seeing what Gao Ming wanted to say again, Li Shimin knew without listening that he wanted to shirk, so he interrupted him mercilessly again.

"No but, this is your obligation!"

"..."

At this moment, Gao Ming really wanted to slap himself, so he pretended to be fine, what rights and obligations did he say?It's good now, lift a rock and shoot yourself in the foot!
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt like crying without tears.

Looking at Li Shimin who was looking at him seriously, Gao Ming also knew that he couldn't escape this time, so he could only nod helplessly.

"Okay, I will go to court in the morning, but I think you should really think about it carefully, it is too dangerous, and you are not young, in case something good or bad happens, Sizi must be so sad!"

Seeing Gao Ming's concerned expression, Li Shimin laughed again, and patted him on the shoulder while laughing.

"Don't worry about this, I've already thought about it, I forgot to tell you before, Li Ji will be back soon, and will also bring back the tank you sat on when you went to Goguryeo. There is absolutely no problem with safety, you can rest assured, hahahaha..."

Gao Ming: "(⊙o⊙)..."

Is there such an operation?
