Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 90
Gao Ming never thought that Cheng Yaojin was a reckless person.

Cheng Yaojin, as a powerful military general, if he is really the kind of reckless person who doesn't know the importance, is it possible for Cheng Yaojin to die well after going through three dynasties?
Therefore, Cheng Yaojin is not only not reckless, but also a first-class smart man among the generals of the Tang Dynasty.

And just now, he seemed to have a dispute with Gao Ming on the surface, but actually asked Gao Ming to guard against Hou Junji. From this, it can be seen how delicate his thoughts are.

At that time, Cheng Yaojin said to Gao Ming, "Be careful of Hou Junji". Although these words were only five words, they revealed three messages.

First, Cheng Yaojin knew that Gao Ming and Hou Junji were close.

Second, Cheng Yaojin thought that Hou Junji had bad intentions.

Thirdly, Cheng Yaojin wanted to make friends with Gao Ming through this matter.

Maybe Cheng Yaojin has more meanings, but Gao Ming can only guess so much, so at this time, Gao Ming smiled again, and then shook his head gently at the man beside Cheng Yaojin.

"In my eyes, Duke Lu is not reckless at all, is he, Uncle Cheng!"

In a blink of an eye, "Lu Guogong" became "Uncle Cheng". Hearing the change of Gao Ming's address, Cheng Yaojin laughed even happier.

"Your Highness is indeed an interesting person. If Your Highness is free, you can come to my old Cheng's house for a drink!"

Hearing that Cheng Yaojin extended an invitation to him, Gao Ming immediately smiled and bowed to him.

"Thank you, Uncle Cheng, for your generosity. My nephew offended me a lot before, so I will definitely come to the door to apologize someday!"

As soon as Gao Ming's voice fell, Cheng Yaojin immediately laughed.

"Hahahaha, it's easy to say, easy to say, then my old Cheng will take the first step!"

After finishing speaking, Cheng Yaojin bowed his hands to Gao Ming, and then walked away very coolly. After he walked away, Gao Ming bowed his hands to the middle-aged man standing beside him.

"If my guess is correct, you should be the famous British Duke, right?"

Seeing that Gao Ming saluted him, the man hurriedly bowed his hands to Gao Ming in return.

"His Royal Highness is serious, I am indeed Li Ji, but he can't be called famous!"

Hearing his words, Gao Ming immediately smiled and shook his head.

"British Lord, you are humble. You followed my father to pacify the Quartet in the early years, and then defeated the Turks, and made great military exploits for our Tang Dynasty. Without you, I don't know how much blood will be shed. Your meritorious deeds are destined. will be remembered in history.”

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming bowed to Li Ji and saluted.

Seeing this scene, Li Ji's face was also a little moved, and he quickly stepped forward to hold Gao Ming's hands.

"Your Highness, please hurry up. The old minister is just doing his duty as a minister. Your Highness, this is a shameful old minister!"

With Li Ji's support, Gao Ming also straightened up, and then smiled at him.

"You and Lu Guogong have very different personalities, but they can get along well. I'm really curious!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Ji shook his head and sighed.

"Oh, Zhijie has a bad temper. Only us rough people can stand him."

Speaking of this, Li Ji also looked at Gao Ming with curious eyes.

"Speaking of it, His Highness the Crown Prince seems to be different from what others said. It seems that the rumors really cannot be fully believed!"

Gao Ming understood Li Ji's implication, so he immediately showed a wry smile.

"Don't dare to lie to the British public. In fact, I don't remember everything that happened before. Now I feel that everything is like a dream. Believe it or not, I am really doing it for the old me. Clean up the mess."

Speaking of this, Gao Ming shrugged his shoulders at Li Ji again, showing a look of helplessness. Seeing this scene, Li Ji also laughed.

"Haha, this veteran will not be able to help you, Your Highness. If so, the veteran will resign first!"

After finishing speaking, Li Ji cupped his hands towards Gao Ming, and then left.

Looking at the back of Li Ji leaving, Gao Ming suddenly showed a thoughtful smile on his face.

"This Li Ji, really be careful!"

Like Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji was also one of the very few powerful military generals in the Tang Dynasty who died well. If Cheng Yaojin's way of survival is seemingly reckless, then Li Ji's way of survival is to be cautious.

In fact, generally speaking, both Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji chose the path of "lonely minister".

Lone ministers, to put it bluntly, are ministers who have no friends. They treat everyone with an indifferent look. They neither easily make enemies with anyone, nor have close contacts with anyone.

Even Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji rarely communicate with each other, and this is how they survive as powerful generals.

Of course, there is no way to do this. Who made Li Shimin, an emperor who made his fortune by rebellion, so suspicious?

Thinking of this, Gao Ming could only shake his head slightly, then got on the chariot and went back to the East Palace.

As soon as he entered the East Palace, he found that the two brothers Li Ke and Li Yin were already waiting for him there, so when he got off the carriage, the two immediately greeted him.

Li Yin was of course the first to run over, and he started yelling as he ran over.

"Ah, big brother, you're back? I heard that you are very prestigious in the court today, but unfortunately I'm sleepy today, if I really want to go and see, it's such a pity..."

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped on the back of the head. Originally, he was about to get angry, but when he looked back and saw that it was his own brother Li Ke who had done it, he suddenly lost his temper.

"Brother, why did you hit me?"

Seeing his aggrieved expression, Li Ke immediately gave him a hard look.

"Hmph! It's not easy to beat you. Do you know how much trouble you have caused this time?"

Having said that, Li Ke walked up to Gao Ming again, and bowed to him solemnly.

"This time it's all up to Big Brother!"

Seeing this immediately, Gao Ming smiled and shook his head, then patted him on the shoulder.

"Third brother, as I said before, we don't need to be so polite between brothers. Okay, let's not talk too much. It's time to eat soon. Let's chat while eating."

"yes, Sir!"

Unlike the respectful Li Ke, Li Yin is a typical self-acquaintance. When Gao Ming talked about eating, he suddenly became happy again.

"Hey, talking about eating, I'm also hungry. The food here seems to be more palatable. By the way, brother, I saw a small spotted wild boar running past your yard just now. Why don't we kill it? Send it to the Shangshi Bureau, and have it baked with honey, it will be delicious and tender!"

Speaking of this, he immediately swallowed a mouthful of saliva, showing a particularly slanderous look.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming immediately laughed.

"Haha, I actually thought the same way, but that little wild boar is Sizi's treasure, why don't you go and slaughter it and send it to Shangshi Bureau, brother, I can also enjoy your honor and feast on my mouth! "

Li Yin's expression immediately changed when he heard Li Mingda from the wild boar, and he shook his head like a rattle.

"No, no, Sizi is my father's treasure. If she goes to my father's place to sue me, then I will be miserable. Forget about this wild boar. If the elder brother wants to eat it, I will personally eat it in the spring of next year. Just take someone to hunt a few and come back!"

After finishing speaking, he still showed a look of fear. Gao Ming knew that this guy must have had experience and lessons, so he couldn't help laughing immediately.

At this moment, a voice came from one end of the yard.

"Huh? Brother, you are smiling so happily, is there something good going on?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Gao Ming looked back and found that it was Li Mingda who had returned, so he nodded immediately.

"Yeah, your sixth brother said that he would kill your big general and send it to the Shangshi Bureau, so today we can eat barbecued wild boar. Do you think big brother can be unhappy?"

When Li Mingda heard Gao Ming's words, his eyes widened and he glared at Li Yin angrily.

"Sixth brother, you bullied me, I want to tell my father!"

Li Min: "..."

Li Ke: "..."
