Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 617 Busy
Li Shimin would definitely dismiss or even sneer at the words of attacking a country by one person, but when the words were spoken by Gao Ming, the situation was different.

Because from Li Shimin's understanding, he knew that Gao Ming was not the kind of person who talked nonsense.

But it was precisely because of this that he was even more puzzled.

"Gao Ming, what you said is unbelievable. This Wang Xuance is only a fifth-rank Chaosan doctor. What kind of ability does he have that make you respect him so much?"

"Well... probably just intuition, it has nothing to do with official positions!"

Of course, Gao Ming couldn't tell Li Shimin the real reason, because even if he told the other party, he wouldn't believe him, so he immediately yelled.

"In short, old man, you can safely and boldly let him go to the Magadha Kingdom, tell him not to be cowardly when encountering problems, and must maintain the majesty of the Tang Dynasty. Just remember this, and everything is allowed to act cheaply!"

"Uh……"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin was taken aback for a while, and then gave him a surprised look.

"You mean to let Wang Xuance go alone? You won't go with him?"

"What am I going to do?"

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Gao Ming immediately rolled his eyes.

"There are still a lot of things waiting for me to do here. I can't leave myself. Magadha Kingdom can let Wang Xuance go alone, or let him bring a few followers. Okay, I have to go back. The East Palace is gone, you should also rest early!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming cupped his hands towards Li Shimin, paid his respects, and then turned and left.

After he left, Li Shimin paced around the room for a few steps, feeling that he couldn't calm down at all, so he simply gave instructions to the eunuchs at the door.

"Go, call me Chaosan doctor Wang Xuance, I want to see him!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, the little eunuch immediately agreed, and then hurriedly ran to call Wang Xuance to Li Shimin's bedroom.

After Wang Xuance arrived, he didn't know what he chatted with Li Shimin, so the lights in Li Shimin's bedroom were turned on all night.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Shimin appointed Wang Xuance as the ambassador to the west in front of all civil and military officials in the court hall, and sent a small group of Imperial Forest Army to accompany him.

It can be seen that he also attaches great importance to Wang Xuance's trip.

As for whether it was because of Gao Ming's attitude, or because of what he talked to Wang Xuance last night, only he knew.

On the day Wang Xuance left, Gao Ming, as the crown prince, sent him to Zhuque Avenue outside the South Gate of Chang'an on behalf of the Tang royal family, and handed him a brand new Tang Hengdao.

"Doctor Wang, it's a long way to go to Magadha. This knife is my personal weapon. Although I haven't seen blood yet, it's not a decoration. You can take advantage of it and do whatever you want. Remember Don't lose the prestige of my Tang Dynasty!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Wang Xuance was so excited that his eyes turned red, and immediately knelt down with a "plop".

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince, for your generosity, and this humble minister takes orders!"

After finishing speaking, he raised both hands and took the horizontal knife from Gao Ming's hand.

Seeing his excited appearance, Gao Ming smiled again, and then reached out to help him up.

"You don't need to be courteous, Doctor Wang, please get up, and when you return from Magadha, I will personally ask for credit for you!"

"Yes, I will definitely fulfill my mission. Does His Royal Highness have any other explanations?"

"Any other explanations..."

Hearing Wang Xuance's words, Gao Ming thought for a while, then nodded with a smile.

"Well, there is indeed one. I once heard that there is a beautiful princess Gitanjali in the country of Magadha. When the time comes, you can bring her portrait back to me. Well, the time is almost up, let's go!"

"Yes, I will take the first step, His Royal Highness, take care!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Xuance got on his horse, and then walked with his entourage quickly, and their figures disappeared from Gao Ming's sight.

Gao Ming let out a long sigh when he could no longer see Wang Xuance and the others.

"Oh, if possible, I would also like to go with him, but it's a pity that I don't have the skills to do so!"

Gao Ming shook his head while talking, then turned around and went to the Military Industry Department, started his new day of busy life, until the night approached, and then dragged his tired body back to the palace.

Seeing his exhausted appearance, Su Wan'er persuaded him distressedly while ordering someone to bring the vegetables and rice.

"Since Lang Jun returned to Chang'an, he has gone out every day at dawn and returned after dark. Wan'er is really worried after being so tired, can't she let others do it?"

"Not yet."

Hearing Su Wan'er's words, Gao Ming smiled at her while taking his daughter from her arms.

"But it's coming soon. After I'm done with treasury bills and trains, I can spend time with you guys."

"Train?" Hearing this new term, Su Wan'er immediately showed curiosity, "Wan'er only knows ox carts and horse-drawn carriages, so what is this train?"

"This is..."

Faced with Su Wan'er's doubts, Gao Ming summed up his words before answering her.

"Actually, this train is a means of transportation just like ox carts and horse carts, except that the cows and horses eat grass, while the train eats coal and runs faster!"

"Ah?" Hearing Gao Ming's words, Su Wan'er's eyes immediately widened, "It's still such a magical thing?"

Seeing her widening beautiful eyes and surprised face, Gao Ming couldn't help grinning again and nodded at the same time.

"Yes, it is such a miraculous thing. The preparatory work started last year, and now it has reached the final stage. In two or three months at most, you will be able to see the train. At that time, you only need to take the train and travel from Chang'an to Beijing. It only takes an hour in Luoyang, and it only takes half a day to reach Taiyuan Mansion!"

"Huh? So fast?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Su Wan'er's eyes widened again, her eyes were full of disbelief.

Although Su Wan'er lived in the deep palace for a long time, she also knew that even riding a fast horse from Chang'an to Luoyang would take three days, and it would take more than a week to go to Taiyuan, and the time would be doubled if she took a carriage.

But now Gao Ming said that as long as she took the train, it would only take an hour to travel from Chang'an to Luoyang, and even half a day to Taiyuan Mansion, which seemed unbelievable to her.

But as a wife, she would not question her husband face to face, so she didn't say much in front of Gao Ming.

It wasn't until Li Shimin came to the East Palace the next day and asked what Gao Ming was doing recently that she told Li Shimin about the train.

Unlike Su Wan'er, Li Shimin, who had seen the steam tank, already understood the magic of the machine, so after listening to Su Wan'er's words, he couldn't sit still.

"Trains? There is such a magical thing? No, I have to go and see for myself!"

After finishing speaking, he got up and left the East Palace, and rode directly towards the Military Industry Department outside the city.

　Although the update has been resumed, it will be very slow due to various reasons, and the time is not fixed, so you might as well put it aside and wait for a month to see the ending.
