First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 406

...

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Changsun Wuqi paused for a moment, and then asked tentatively, "What about Uncle Gao?"

Li Shimin's expression changed when he heard the words, and then his eyes dimmed. He continued to lie down and sighed quietly: "Mr. After Beijing, I have never been to the house, I think... ".

Before he finished speaking, he only heard the report from the guards outside: "Gao Chong, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, begs to see him".

Li Shimin sat up awkwardly, beaming with joy, "I think Gao Youzhi is really in my heart hahaha".

After all, he hurriedly got up and changed his clothes and left.

Changsun Wuqi smiled when he saw this, whether it was from Li Shimin's standpoint or from the standpoint of the Changsun family, the Gao family must not be alienated.

Seeing that there are more and more beauties around Li Shimin, although the relationship between the two of them has always been harmonious, the eldest grandson Wuqi is so smart, she has some calculations in her heart, otherwise she would not have sent people every now and then after hearing that Xue Shi was pregnant. Send some tonics to Duke Yan's mansion.

After all, apart from Changsun Wuji, the Gao family has the closest relationship with her.

In the front hall, before Gao Chong sat down, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and only heard a hearty laugh, "You are here. What about the Palace of the Prince of Qin?"

Li Shimin stepped forward quickly, put his arm around Gao Chong's shoulder, and punched Gao Chong in the chest.

"Second Young Master, what are you talking about?" Gao Chong pretended to be displeased and muttered, "Wouldn't it be the same for me to enter the Qin Palace as if I entered my own house?"

Li Shimin laughed when he heard the words, Gao Youzhi was still the same Gao Youzhi, and the second son had already called out all the friendship with this one.

Gao Chong shrugged his nose, and asked curiously: "You smell like alcohol, but you haven't seen any guests in your house. Could it be that you are drinking alone against the moon?"

Li Shimin restrained his smile when he heard the words, sat down and lamented.

Gao Chong saw it in his eyes and knew it in his heart, he just thought it was funny, and immediately said: "But you are worried about the Summer Palace of Renzhi?"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up immediately, and he did not hide his surprise, "What can you teach me?"

This is exactly what Li Shimin is worried about. Although he is an expensive general, he is unparalleled in power, and his status in the Tang Dynasty is second only to the emperor and prince.

But Gao Junya was right. After all, Li Jiancheng was the eldest son and the orthodox heir. Li Shimin couldn't compare to Li Shimin in terms of righteousness. This time Li Yuan ordered Li Jiancheng to stay in the capital to supervise the country, which was even more legitimate and reasonable.

The father was getting old, and he was going to escape the summer heat, so he asked his son to accompany him by name, and Li Shimin had no choice but to go.

It's just that, Li Jiancheng, the prince of the supervisory state, is in control of the power, and Li Shimin can only go to the mountain nest to enjoy the scenery, far away from the power center of the capital, how can this not make Li Shimin worry.

As soon as Gao Chong came, he said what Li Shimin was worried about, which surprised Li Shimin very much.

I thought Gao Chong had some great ideas, but unexpectedly Gao Chong shook his head and said with a smile: "The sage can't bear the scorching heat, the second son is a son of man, he should be filial to his knees, there is no need to worry."

Li Shimin was stunned, and then glared angrily: "Stop joking, tell me what you think."

As the saying goes, living in one's energy and nourishing one's body, Li Shimin holds a high position, his military achievements are unparalleled in the world, and he was born with a beard and a majestic appearance. Now his feigned anger is actually somewhat intimidating.

Gao Chong smiled mischievously, "Second Young Master, don't worry, you have no entry, no seal, and that's nothing compared to this filial piety.

As far as I know, in the past two years, the person in the Eastern Palace has cultivated his cronies extensively. To put it bluntly, his mind is all on power.

In this way, there is no time to perform filial piety at the knees of the saints, and this time the saints take you to escape the summer, isn't it a great opportunity to perform filial piety."

Seeing that Li Shimin was still frowning and silent, Gao Chong continued: "I am the new Shaoqing of Dali Temple, in charge of criminal and prison cases. The troubles in Chang'an can't be hidden from me. The second son can go to escape the summer without worry. Chang'an, I will keep an eye on it." .

Gao Chong looked confident, but he didn't say any specific measures. Gao Chong was also very conflicted.

Because he vaguely remembered that it was Li Yuan who went out to escape the summer heat this time, which caused a rebellion, which almost abolished Li Jiancheng's crown prince.

But Gao Chong is not a brick-and-mortar beast who studies Tang history. He doesn't have a deep memory of this period of history. He only knows the general idea and doesn't know the details.

Although what Gao Chong said was cloudy and foggy, Li Shimin still recovered his demeanor, his confidence increased sharply, he nodded straightly and said: "I am relieved by what you said."

Gao Chong paused, he originally thought it would take a lot of talking, but he didn't expect that he would be so reassured by fooling Li Shimin so roughly.

On the one hand, this is Li Shimin's trust in him, and on the other hand, it is his trust in Gao Chong's ability.

Gao Chong is the person involved, he doesn't know it, but Li Shimin has already clearly recognized Gao Chong's ability and influence.

Even the reason why Gao Junya didn't interfere with Gao Chong's thoughts was because the current Gao Chong was no small matter.

Xue Ju, Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Xiao Xian, Fu Gong Er...

Gao Chong participated in almost all the wars of the Tang Dynasty to unify the world, and even conquered Lingnan, Guizhou and other places.

With such meritorious service, even if he is a noble or duke, it is all right, but one of them is Gao Chong who is still young, and the other is Gao Junya who ranks as the prime minister.

Many factors lead to the fact that Gao Chong's current official position is not worthy of meritorious service, but as long as Gao Chong does not risk his life, he will definitely ascend to the court to pay homage to the prime minister in the future.

Ever since Gao Chong entered the door tonight, Li Shimin knew that his worries were unnecessary. Gao Youzhi was always the same Gao Youzhi outside Jinyang City.

In a good mood, he immediately ordered a banquet to be set up, and the two sat opposite each other regardless of the rules, drinking freely all night.

Gao Chong didn't drink for a long time, suddenly he drank the Samle Porridge from the Western Regions, and after a while, he felt a little overwhelmed.

He swayed, hiccupped, patted Li Shimin's shoulder and sighed: "Second son, you must work hard, don't want the oath of the year, be rich and noble, I will ask if I can be a husband in this life , it's up to you."

Li Shimin paused when he heard the words, a gleam flashed in his eyes, then he grabbed Gao Chong's hand and said solemnly: "When the eight-character comment is spread to the world, you will be rich and honored."

Gao Chong looked at Li Shimin with drunken eyes, "The appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, the appearance of the sun, the ancients did not deceive me."

Li Shimin helped Gao Chong up, and shouted: "Gao Youzhi is drunk, let Gao's servants come in and help him back to the house."

The two drank together and dispersed the attendants, the guards at the door hurriedly called Gao Xiong and others to come in, and hurriedly helped Gao Chong into the carriage.

Looking at the empty hall, full of messy tables, Li Shimin tugged at his beard and muttered, "The ancients are sincerely not deceiving me? Which ancient man once said that would not work."

Drunken Gao Chong entered the carriage, pushed Kaohsiung who was helping him away, and said directly: "Wake me up early tomorrow morning, and go to Dali Temple to be on duty."

Seeing Gao Chong's appearance, Gao Xiong knew it, and nodded in response.
