First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 253 Meeting Li Yuan
...

Although Li Shimin received a good education since he was a child, he seldom studied literature since he joined the army at the age of 16. After meeting many famous Confucian scholars in Luoyang, Li Shimin recognized his shortcomings and wanted to learn.

Hearing these words, Gao Chong's heart moved. It seems that the Literature Museum of King Qin's Mansion is about to open, where the famous Eighteen Scholars of King Qin's Mansion came from. He immediately asked tentatively, "What are your thoughts, Second Young Master?"

Li Shimin shook his head, "After returning to Beijing, call Keming and the others to discuss together. I mean to form a team, like the Wenhui in Luoyang, to gather together to discuss knowledge." Li Shimin paused and turned to look at Gao Chong, "Do you have an idea? Tell me quickly."

Gao Chong raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Second Young Master, you can set up a literary museum and recruit famous scholars and talents. You can not only discuss the scriptures, increase your knowledge, but also recruit talented people. The young master learns from the heart of loving talents."

"Literature Museum, bachelor..." Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard it, and then he clapped his hands and praised: "Youzhi's words are very satisfying to me. It is very good to increase knowledge and recruit talents. It is very good to kill two birds with one stone." Chong's shoulders, "If the civil and martial arts hall is successful, you will be the first bachelor."

Gao Chong was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly thanked him.

After bidding farewell to Li Shimin, Gao Chong and Jiang Baoyi went back to the residence together, preparing to pack their bags and go to Kuizhou, but Jiang Baoyi was depressed along the way.

"Is Baoyi worried about going to Kuizhou?" Gao Chong raised his eyebrows and asked.

Hearing this, Jiang Baoyi sighed: "I don't have any worries about conscripting Xiao Xian, but I don't know how to face the prince in the future after I go."

There are some things that need not be said too clearly, and Jiang Baoyi also knows it well.

However, Gao Chong smiled and said: "So it was because of this, don't worry, I have discussed with the King of Qin just now, I asked for your assistance when you went to Kuizhou together this time, and it was not appointed by the King of Qin. After Beijing, I will only testify for your innocence, and I will definitely not speak well of your official title."

Hearing this, Jiang Baoyi was pleasantly surprised, nodded and said: "This is the best, even if I am dismissed, it doesn't matter."

Seeing that Jiang Baoyi neither wanted to disappoint Li Jiancheng nor offend Li Shimin, Gao Chong also shook his head and laughed.

After returning to the mansion, he summoned his guards, and before he had time to say goodbye to Wei Gui, Gao Chong led Jiang Baoyi and set off.

Going to Kuizhou from now on, all the way to the southwest, is the territory actually controlled by the Tang Dynasty, and there are no hostile forces. It is safe and secure to walk along the official road all the way.

After half a day out of Luoyang, he was chased by Li Shimin's troops. It turned out that Li Yuan ordered him to go back to Chang'an first. Gao Chong took the order and went straight to Chang'an.

Although I don't know what Li Yuan's plan is, Gao Chong is very happy to go back to Chang'an. Everyone is one person and two horses, and the horses are reluctant to use them for the journey. Everyone rode fast horses all the way to Chang'an, passing Hongnong Pass Tongguan will soon enter the border of Guanzhong.

The closer he got to Chang'an, the more excited Gao Chong became. Jiang Baoyi also knew why Gao Chong was excited, and said directly: "The delivery date is not here yet, why are you so excited?"

Gao Chong rolled his eyes and said bluntly, "You don't understand this kind of mood."

Jiang Baoyi was stunned and speechless.

Chang'an City, Duke of Yan's Mansion.

Knowing that Gao Chong returned to Beijing today, Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Xue and the others had been looking forward to it for a long time. Seeing Li Xiuwan walking out slowly with her big belly supported by the maid, Mrs. Xue hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Liu Niang Wanwang be careful, just wait in the room," Xue said softly with eyes full of love.

Li Xiuwan smiled and said: "I also want to watch Lang Jun come back here."

Seeing this, the old lady Lu nodded and smiled and said: "It's not good to sit for a long time, it's okay to get up and walk."

At this time, Gao Bing came out bouncing around, and when he saw Li Xiuwan, he leaned forward and put his ears on his stomach, very funny, "Sister-in-law, this little guy is kicking his legs."

"Go to the side, be careful to bump into your sister-in-law, you girl knows to be crazy all day long." Xue Shi was furious when she saw Gao Bing, "Listen to your brother, this time Jiang Baoyi came back with him, Jiang Baoyi must be blessed if he survives a catastrophe, and I will let you, Aye, discuss the marriage later."

Gao Bing held his mouth shut when he heard that, and looked at Mrs. Lu, but Mrs. Lu closed her eyes and fell asleep, and did not help her.

At this time, there was only a shout from the front hall, "Your Majesty has returned to your residence, Your Majesty has returned to your residence." Granny Lu immediately opened her eyes when she heard this, and said pleasantly, "My great grandson is back."

Gao Chong returned to the gate of the mansion, threw the reins, and then quickly entered the mansion. When he walked to the front hall, he saw Mrs. Lu and the others waiting in the hall.

"Grandma, grandma, Chong'er is back." Gao Chong was very excited. After a few months away, seeing his grandmother getting older, Gao Chong felt very sorry for her, and hugged her tightly, unwilling to let go.

"Okay, my great grandson is going to be a father, so I can't cry like a child anymore," Old Madam Lu wiped Gao Chong's reddish eyes and smiled.

Gao Chong nodded, looked at Li Xiuwan, who was gentle and considerate, stepped forward to imitate Gao Bing's appearance, put his ear on his stomach and listened, and said softly: "My lady, you have worked hard."

In front of Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Xue, Li Xiuwan blushed slightly, and murmured, "Mr.

That night, Gao Junya returned home, and after dinner, the father and son had a long talk all night.

The next day, Gao Chong entered the palace to meet Li Yuan with two huge dark circles under his eyes.

After the morning court, Li Yuan summoned Gao Chong in the Ganlu Hall.

"Minister Gao Chong, pay homage to Your Majesty", after Gao Chong entered the room, he saluted according to the etiquette system.

Li Yuan nodded slightly, looked at Gao Chong and said, "You don't need to be too polite, I haven't seen you for a few months, and I'm stronger. How is it? I've been out for a few months, and everything is going well?"

Gao Chong hurriedly said with a smile: "Thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, everything goes well on this trip."

Li Yuan waved his hands and smiled when he heard the words: "It's not because of my blessing. The current good situation is the result of your bloody battles on the front lines. and award."

Gao Chong hurriedly thanked him, Li Yuan's words were of a certain level, at least Gao Chong felt comfortable.

"Don't stand still, give me a seat." Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "Why did you go out for several months, and you are separated from me?"

After Gao Chong sat down, Li Yuan said directly: "Liu Niang is due to give birth in two months, so you will not blame me for transferring you to Kuizhou at this time?"

"Your Majesty was joking," Gao Chong said with a straight smile, "Your Majesty appreciates the meager ability of my minister, and is willing to give me the opportunity to make contributions. It's too late for me to be grateful."

Hearing this, Li Yuan laughed out loud, "You are still as glib as ever, but your ability is not meager. Dou Jiande was captured alive among the thousands of troops. I really don't know whether I will call you a civil servant or a general in the future."
