Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 563 Belongs to the Gaoming Early Dynasty
Accompanied by the rising sun, the morning came as scheduled. Gao Ming, dressed in gorgeous robes, walked into the hall under the astonished eyes of civil and military officials.

The reason why civil and military officials look at Gao Ming like this is of course not because they admire him, but because he is late.

According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, courtiers usually come to court at Maoshi, which is five o'clock in the morning. When the sun just rises and the sun shines on the steps outside the hall, the court meeting begins.

But now it is the hour of Chen, that is to say, Gao Ming was late by an hour.

For the courtiers, this is obviously not a trivial matter, especially those censors who are famous for "finding faults".

In the past, they were always suppressed by Gao Ming, but now they have such a good opportunity, how could they let it go?

But what they didn't expect was that before they jumped out, Gao Ming stretched out a very big "painful foot" towards them.

After Gao Ming entered the court hall, he didn't stop at his place, but walked up the steps, and then sat down on the dragon couch where Li Shimin usually sat.

Seeing this scene, the censors were all shocked.

"That's the dragon couch, His Royal Highness actually sat on it!"

"Am I not mistaken? How dare he do that!"

"It's unbelievable!"

At this moment, they had already forgotten the fact that Gao Ming was late just now, and they were completely immersed in the shock brought about by Gao Ming sitting on the dragon couch.

You know, the dragon couch is a symbol of imperial power, just like the dragon chair of later generations, not everyone can sit on it except the emperor, but Gao Ming sat on it, and he sat in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Simply appalling!
Because of this, not only the official censor, but even the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all stared wide-eyed, with disbelief written all over their faces.

Gao Ming sat on the dragon couch, and seeing the expressions of the civil and military officials below, a smile appeared on his face.

"Let's go to court, and the red tape will be saved. If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the shocked civil and military officials came to their senses. An official in a green robe came out immediately, and then cupped his hands at Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness, you can't sit on the dragon couch, it's against the rules, please come down quickly!"

Obviously, facing the "painful foot" exposed by Gao Ming, he did not intend to let it go.

Moreover, he was not the only one who thought this way. As soon as he finished speaking, several officials immediately stood up.

"What Master Liu said is very true. The dragon bed is where the Holy Majesty sits. It is not proper for His Highness the Crown Prince to sit on it!"

"His Royal Highness, please come down quickly, this is really out of style!"

"Wei Chen agrees!"

Looking at the ministers below who were accusing him, Gao Ming not only didn't panic, but leaned back with a smile, leaned on the back of the chair on the dragon couch, then raised his legs, and spit out from his mouth lightly. In a word.

"None of your business!"

"hiss……"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, many officials present gasped on the spot, and the few officials who stood up to accuse Gao Ming before were even more speechless with their mouths wide open.

At this time, many of the courtiers present had different expressions, some were shocked, some were angry, some were bewildered, and some were gloating. This small courtroom can be described as concentrated The world is full of vicissitudes.

Seeing the expressions of the ministers, Gao Ming who was sitting on the dragon couch spoke again.

"For me, this dragon couch doesn't mean anything. The reason why I come to sit on it is not because I have any special thoughts about it, but because I don't want to stand, and there happens to be such a couch sitting here. It’s just a place, and believe it or not, that’s how it is.”

Speaking of this, Gao Ming immediately shrugged his shoulders, and then smiled slightly towards the ministers below.

"Besides, the owner of the dragon couch has given permission for me to sit here, and he didn't say anything. You guys are still talking here, isn't it meddling with a mouse?"

"you……"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the official who stood up to accuse Gao Ming suddenly widened his eyes, then rolled his eyes, and passed out in public.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming shrugged his shoulders again.

"Did you see, this person was hit by me, so he fainted from embarrassment and annoyance. With such mental and physical qualities, it's too hard to be an official. You should go back and take a good rest. Do you think what I said makes sense?"

"This……"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the hall fell silent immediately, but soon, an official in purple robe stood up and saluted Gao Ming.

"Wei Chen thought His Highness the Crown Prince was right. Lord Liu was old and in poor health, that's why he fainted in court. My Tang ruled the world with virtue. For the sake of Lord Liu's health, His Highness the Crown Prince hopes that he will retire and return to his hometown." good!"

The person who spoke at this time was none other than Lu Zhi who had long since taken refuge in Gao Ming.

Lu Zhi stood up at this time to show his position, and Gao Ming knew this, so he immediately nodded with a smile.

"Master Lu can understand my meaning deeply. He really deserves to be the minister of the humerus of my Great Tang. If my Great Tang can have more such capable ministers, why worry about the country not being rich and powerful!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Lu Shi's old face turned slightly red, and he cupped his hands at Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness is over-reputed, and the humble minister just grasped a little bit of His Highness's thoughts, and this is not enough!"

"Hahahaha, easy to say... easy to say..."

Seeing the two people admiring each other in front of civil and military officials, the corners of many people's mouths began to twitch involuntarily.

Can you still show some face?

At this time, many people secretly scolded Lu Zhi as a sycophant, shameless, etc., but some people "followed the trend" and joined the ranks of this sycophant.

Such as Cheng Yaojin.

"Hahahaha, my old Cheng also thinks what His Majesty the Crown Prince said is right. Many of us were present when His Majesty went out for an expedition yesterday. His Majesty the Crown Prince had indeed told His Majesty that he would sit on the dragon couch, and His Majesty did not object. Some people use this as an argument, it’s really a dog meddling with a mouse, I’m sorry!"

Having said that, Cheng Yaojin spit on the ground, and immediately flushed with embarrassment to those who stood up before.

However, it may be because the "defendant returned home" who fainted before, so although they were very shy this time, none of them fainted.

Gao Ming sat on the top, looking at the aggressive Cheng Yaojin, and the censors who were mocked by him so much that they wanted to find a hole, he suddenly grinned again.

"Hahahaha, okay, Duke Lu, please don't say a few words. As the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty. I think they don't know about this, so don't blame them!"

"Yes, His Royal Highness!"

Cheng Yaojin is also a good person, he knows the truth of accepting when he sees a deal, he has already expressed his position at this moment, and by the way, he has a wave of presence, so after hearing Gao Ming's words, he bowed to Gao Ming and then backed away went back.

After Cheng Yaojin returned to his queue, Gao Ming smiled at the officials again.

"Okay, let's not talk about the dragon bed. Do you have anything else to say? If you have nothing else, go back, don't waste the morning time!"

"Uh……"

Hearing Gao Ming's words with guns and sticks, although the officials were unwilling, they could only bow their hands to Gao Ming, and then retreated with gritted teeth.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming laughed again.

"Then, continue in the morning!"
