Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 637 Invincible and the Loneliest (The Finale)

Li Shimin suddenly didn't want to sit in Zen.

But now Taishan has sacrificed to the sky, and the court has been sensationalized, and the only thing left is to change clothes and burn incense during the enthronement ceremony.

It would be too childish if he suddenly changed his mind and said that he was no longer in Zen position.

Of course, if he is really not in the Zen position, Gao Ming will definitely not care about it, and the civil and military officials in the court will not say anything, after all, Gao Ming is the first to die, but the lower officials and the common people will not think so.

"They will definitely think that I am nostalgic for the throne and reluctant to part with the Zen position!" Thinking of this, Li Shimin felt particularly aggrieved.

You know, he has completely delegated authority over the past few years. It would be a great loss if he ruined his hard-earned reputation because of a fight!
Therefore, he decided to endure it.

"Be patient with this kid today, and I will let the Ministry of Rituals torment him severely in the future, wanting to play tricks? This is wishful thinking!"

Li Shimin thought this way, and he did it the same way. On the day of the enthronement ceremony, the Ministry of Rites really tossed Gao Ming quite hard.

Greeting the sky, laying jade and silk, entering the zu, offering gifts at the beginning of the journey, offering gifts at the end of the journey, offering gifts at the end of the journey, withdrawing food, and giving gifts, there is never a moment of relaxation from morning till night.

It wasn't until Gao Ming made it clear that he would quit if it wasn't over, that Li Shimin was satisfied with the sacrificial wine to announce the completion of the enthronement ceremony, and then returned to the palace.

For Datang, the enthronement of the new emperor is the coming of a new era, but for Gao Ming, it is just a change of clothes, and he still has to do what he should do every day, even the same as the day before.

Therefore, in the early morning of the next day, when a minister asked him to issue an order of amnesty to the world, Gao Ming refused without thinking.

"There is no need to amnesty the world, I don't need to show favor to the world in this way, and I don't believe that those criminals will appreciate my kindness for pardoning them. If I pardon them, who will pardon those who were hurt by them? What? So deal with it as you want, and just don’t make unjust, false or wrongly decided cases!”

After getting along for such a long time, the civil and military officials in the court also knew Gao Ming's temper, and knew that since he said so, it was impossible to change it, so they stopped persuading him.

As for the next thing, it will be much easier and smoother. First, Su Wan'er canonized as empress, and then Princess Rajashili and other female relatives can be canonized as noble concubines, and the younger sisters Li Lizhi, Gao Yang and Li Mingda, She was also canonized as the eldest princess by Gao Ming.

In addition, Gao Ming also canonized Li Shimin's sister, Princess Pingyang, who died in battle at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, as "Princess Zhenguo Pingyang".

This canonization was Gao Ming's own initiative, and it was not arranged by the Ministry of Rites in advance, so when the canonization was released, the Ministry of Rites was shocked.

And the two sons left by Princess Pingyang, Chai Zhewei and Chai Lingwu, knelt directly in the court hall, crying and knocking their heads bleeding.

Not only the members of the Chai family, but even Li Shimin was touched when he found out about this incident.

Because among his brothers and sisters, the one with whom he has the best relationship is Princess Pingyang. At the beginning, because of Princess Pingyang's death, Li Shimin was also very sad.

Now after hearing Gao Ming's canonization, he immediately felt warm in his heart, so with a swipe of a pen, he canonized Gao Ming's daughter Li Baoer as "Princess Wuwei of the Tang Dynasty".

As soon as this canonization came out, the court was shocked again.

You must know that the general princesses are titled by "county" or "beautiful title", such as "Pingyang", "Changle", "Wencheng", etc. They are rarely named after the name of the country, and there is no certain merit. Such titles cannot be obtained.

If Gao Ming, the newly enthroned emperor, came to confer the canonization, then the officials would definitely oppose it to the end, but the one who canonized was Li Shimin, so they had nothing to say.

This is not to say that the Supreme Emperor has more power than the emperor, but considering that Li Shimin has just been enthroned, and now that he is canonized, if everyone opposes it, it will give people a feeling——

"I've just left the throne, and you guys are treating my canonization as a fart. You don't have to leave the tea so quickly, do you?"

Civil servants don't need money, but face is a must, and the canonization of a princess itself will not affect the country's society, so such a "national" level princess is just like that.

After conferring his wife and daughter, it's his brother's turn.

After enthroning, all the princes came back, and Gao Ming saw a few familiar faces as soon as he raised his eyelids.

"Li Tai, Li Ke, Li Zhi, Li Yun, Li Yun..."

These are all he knows, and although there are a few that look familiar, the names are not well remembered.

It's too troublesome to seal one by one, so Gao Ming immediately waved his hand, "All brothers' titles will remain the same, and each will be rewarded with [-] coins!"

Today, the purchasing power of Datang's currency is very strong, and 1000 guan is equivalent to more than [-] million in later generations.

So although Gao Ming's way of throwing money at people is simple and rude, but the effect is excellent. After hearing his words, even Li Tai, who has always been calm, showed a look of surprise.

The princes are all there, and the courtiers are of course indispensable. Gao Ming roughly throws money according to the method of [-] guan for those above the third rank, [-] guan for those above the fifth rank, and [-] guan for the rest, which immediately arouses cheers.

In this way, amidst the voices of more than a dozen princes and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty shouting "My emperor is holy", Gao Ming ended his first early court as emperor.

The morning court is over, and all that remains is to celebrate.

The common people put up lanterns and festoons in the city, while Gao Ming and Li Shimin entertained all the officials and held a banquet in the newly built Daming Palace to celebrate.

After drinking for three rounds, Li Shimin took the initiative to play the piano and asked Gao Ming to dance.

This is not a humiliation, but a kind of activity of closeness between father and son. Gao Ming also understands this, so he didn't refuse. Immediately rolled up his sleeves, bravely walked in front of Li Shimin, and began to dance.

Slap your hands, twist your buttocks, turn in circles... slap your hands again, twist your buttocks again, turn in circles again... In short, it's the same sentence, the dance is not important, the important thing is the form.

Not long after Gao Ming left the court, Li Shimin also left the court, twisting even more flamboyantly than Gao Ming, and jumping up and down, truly demonstrating what is called a flexible fat man.

Seeing that Li Shimin was gone, Changsun Wuji and others were naturally unwilling to let him go, and jumped up one after another.

When everyone was tired from dancing, they returned to their seats to drink and eat meat. After resting enough, they came down and continued to play. They had a very happy time.

In the end, Li Shimin also got drunk, lifted up his clothes, and waved to Gao Ming with a smile.

"When I succeeded to the throne, I knelt down and sucked the breast of the former emperor. Now my son should follow suit and eat!"

"..."

Ma Dan, Li Shimin also ate Li Yuan's milk when he succeeded to the throne?It's appalling!

And you want me to learn from you, can it be more disgusting?

Ma Dan, the throne is gone!

Although Gao Ming wanted to say this, but seeing Li Shimin's playful smile on his face, he immediately changed his mind, and then raised his eyebrows.

"Are you sure? My mouth is a little heavy, it may hurt!"

"Hahahaha!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin burst out laughing, and then he straightened his chest, "I was a man who was afraid of pain when I fought in the Tang Dynasty. Come on!"

"Are you sure?" Hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, "Then I'm here?"

"Come on!" Li Shimin smiled slightly.

"Then I'm really here?" Gao Ming tried again.

"Stop talking nonsense, come if you are told!" Li Shimin said while patting his chest, "I..."

Before he finished speaking, Gao Ming threw himself on him without saying a word and opened his mouth to bite, causing him to scream in pain.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

"Ho... ho... oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah……"

……

Facts have proved that drinking too much alcohol is not good, and it is easy for extreme joy to turn sorrow.

When everyone pulled Gao Ming away, Li Shimin was in so much pain that tears rolled in his eyes.

But this is what he asked for, even if he wanted to scold Gao Ming, he couldn't find a reason, he could only look at his left breast that was bitten and turned purple, and wanted to cry without tears.

In contrast, Gao Ming had completely let go of himself. After drinking another bowl of wine, he directly climbed up the rockery next to him and began to sing loudly.

"Invincible is so... so lonely, invincible is so... so empty, alone in the summit, the cold wind keeps blowing, my loneliness... endless loneliness..."

……

postscript:

Ten years after Gao Ming proclaimed himself emperor, Datang defeated and occupied both the Great Food Kingdom and Byzantium, and expanded its territory to the northernmost part of Europe.

A beautiful young female general led a million-strong army, planted the dragon flag of the Tang Dynasty on every island in Europe, and shouted a declaration that shocked the world.

"I am Li Baoer, Princess Wuwei of the Great Tang Dynasty, hereby proclaiming my father's oracle that whatever the sun and moon shine, and wherever the rivers and rivers go, are all my Great Tang land!"
