First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 446
...

There was a silence in the hall, Li Shimin dared not look at Li Yuan for fear that Li Yuan would be angry.

I couldn't help but sweat for Gao Chong, this guy Gao Youzhi can really be careless, this is blatant nonsense.

But then Li Yuan's reaction surprised Li Shimin.

I saw Li Yuan's sagging face trembling, turned his head away, trying not to look at Gao Chong's mean face, "But it's true?"

"The evidence is convincing, I have applied to close the case, and I ask His Majesty to deal with it," Gao Chong said bluntly with his head held high.

"Since that's the case, Cheng Zhijie will be fined for three months." Li Yuan nodded his head slightly, nodded in agreement, and then looked at Xiang Gao Chong, the corner of his mouth twitched, as if he was reluctant, "Gao Chong, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, quickly closed the case. Give me a meal."

After the words fell, Li Yuan rubbed his stomach and ordered: "Pass the meal, you two together", walking towards the apse while talking.

Gao Chong raised his eyebrows and smiled at Li Shimin, and thanked him loudly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the banquet."

Li Yuan paused and snorted coldly, "Get over here."

Li Shimin was still a little dazed, so Gao Chong pulled him to the apse. Li Shimin didn't know the taste of this imperial meal, but Gao Chong ate it with gusto, and said with a smile: "The imperial imperial meal is really extraordinary."

Li Yuan put down his chopsticks, looked at Gao Chong and said angrily, "It's still far from someone's Hero Pavilion."

Gao Chong almost choked when he heard the words, he raised his head and said with a smile, "I want to save some money for your grandson."

Li Yuan ignored this fellow, looked at Li Shimin, and said in a deep voice after consideration: "At this time in the past, there are always changes in the Turks, you should pay more attention."

Li Shimin was shocked when he heard the words, and said seriously: "Aye, don't worry, the twelve guards are always ready."

At this time, Li Shimin was also serving as the General of the Twelve Guards. This title is really scary.

When he walked out of the Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin was still a little puzzled, why Cheng Zhijie's matter was solved so easily and perfectly, and why Gao Chong was in such a happy mood from the beginning to the end.

After walking a little further, Li Shimin finally couldn't bear it anymore, and grabbed Gao Chong, "You Zhi, tell me quickly, what's going on here?"

Unexpectedly, Gao Chong saw the silence on the left and right, turned around and bowed to Li Shimin, "I'm here to congratulate the king first."

Li Shimin was stunned, and when he realized it, he was a little excited, "You, Youzhi, you mean?"

Gao Chong leaned closer and said in a low voice: "I only realized when I first entered the palace that the sage deliberately favored Cheng Zhijie, so the hasty trial was to test the sage's mind. Now it is basically certain that the sage is extremely dissatisfied with the crown prince. The day when your Majesty succeeds is not far away."

Li Shimin was ecstatic after hearing this, and the two walked together with their arms together, happily returning to Chengqian Hall together.

As soon as he was seated, a servant came in a hurry. Gao Chong had a good memory, and he was obviously from Ganlu Palace.

The little servant whispered in Li Shimin's ear, Li Shimin was pleasantly surprised when he heard the words, and asked with wide eyes, "But it's true?"

"The decree has been issued to the three provinces..." The servant nodded with certainty.

Gao Chong heard ambiguously from the side, and couldn't help being shocked when he saw this, did Li Yuan decree to abolish the crown prince?Otherwise, why is Li Shimin so excited.

Li Shimin slapped the table and shouted: "Okay, that's great, Ananda, I will reward you very much."

A burly waiter at the door bowed and took out a silver barley from his bosom and stuffed it to the little waiter, who hurriedly thanked him.

"Ananda is generous," Gao Chong jokingly praised with a thumbs up.

This servant Gao Chong is very familiar with, his name is Zhang Anan, he is Li Shimin's personal servant, and he is in charge of Chengqian Hall.

What's more important is that Zhang Anan was not an ordinary servant, he was originally a soldier of the Jinyang government.

It's a pity that during the expedition against Xue Ju, unfortunately, he injured his lifeblood. Zhang Anan did not stop doing anything, and directly castrated him, willing to be a servant, accompanying Li Shimin,
According to the original trajectory, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he treated Zhang Anan kindly and did not regard him as an eunuch. General, ranked from the third rank.

The guards on the left and right guards each have a general. As the imperial guards, they are in charge of guarding the palace. An extraordinary person can take on the task. The first is strong ability, the second is loyalty. The eunuch of the mausoleum.

Zhang Anan bared his teeth and said, "It's all the king's money."

"After we left the Ganlu Hall, the sage decreed that Zheng Shanren, the servant of the Ministry of punishment, should be demoted to Luzhou Sima," Li Shimin said excitedly, looking at Gao Chong.

Gao Chong was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Now all the princelings can have dinner and cook hot pot in Bashu."

Wei Zheng, Wang Gui and others were also relegated to Bashu. Although Li Shimin didn't know why he wanted to cook hot pot in Bashu.

"That means your guess is right." Li Shimin did not hide his joy, "The sage is really disappointed in the prince."

"Calm down," Gao Chong said in a spirited voice, "Although we intend to defeat them in a fair and honest manner, we must also guard against them jumping over the wall in a hurry. From now on, we must pay attention to the defense of Chengqian Palace and the diet of the king." .

After all, Gao Chong remembered that in the original trajectory, Li Jiancheng poisoned Li Shimin at the banquet, but he might have bought fake medicine, and Li Shimin vomited and diarrhea, but he did not die.

Hearing this, Li Shimin was somewhat disapproving, "Isn't it necessary? They still have the guts."

Gao Chong glanced at the scar on Li Shimin's head, which had scabbed over, and said slowly, "The scab hasn't fallen off yet."

Li Shimin's face darkened.

East Palace, upon hearing this news, Li Jiancheng became furious again and could no longer hold back his so-called gentlemanly demeanor. He smashed everything he saw that could be smashed, and kicked the walls that couldn't be smashed.

Zheng Shanren, the servant of the Ministry of punishment, was demoted, which dealt a heavy blow to the princelings.

The officials all over the court are all good people. Seeing Li Jiancheng coming out of the Ganlu Hall in a state of embarrassment, the saint left Li Shimin and Gao Chong to have a meal together, and then relegated Zheng Shilang. The message conveyed is very reminiscent: Is the prince It's almost over?
Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng was even more furious. Why, why did he treat him like this? He is the eldest son and the orthodox heir. Why did Li Yuan treat him like this.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, Li Jiancheng sat down panting, his eyes were full of fierceness, he decided to get rid of Li Shimin as soon as possible, and finally calmed down a little.

At this time, the servant came to report: the prince led Master Dou to ask to see him.

Li Jiancheng was furious and full of resentment. Hearing the name Dou Shigan, another name came to mind: Dou Shilun.
