First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 448 Different Positions
...

Gao Chong was only wearing his underwear. When he came to the courtyard, he saw Gao Junya looking at the moon with his hands behind his back. He was wearing a round neck robe and a beautiful beard. Gao Chong was in a daze for a while. Painting: "Taibai Looking at the Moon".

Whether it is the artistic conception, or the costumes of the characters, as well as their demeanor, they are extremely consistent.

"Why didn't Aye sleep in the middle of the night?" Gao Chong stepped forward and asked.

Gao Junya came back to her senses, turned to look at Gao Chong, saw that he was only wearing his underwear, frowned slightly and said, "It's darker, you should wear more."

"It's okay, it's not autumn yet," Gao Chong said indifferently, and the two sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, Gao Chong asked curiously, "Aye, is something on your mind?"

Gao Junya didn't answer, but just looked at Gao Chong in silence.

Upon seeing this, Gao Chong said directly: "Aye, if you have something to say, speak up, we, father and son, have nothing to say."

Gao Junya waved his hand, "You and I have different positions. As a father, I was just wondering whether I should say it or not."

"Different positions?" Gao Chong was stunned.

"I am loyal to the monarch, but you... are loyal to the King of Qin." Gao Junya nodded slightly, her voice a bit heavy.

Gao Chong immediately understood that he had known his father's thoughts for a long time. In this regard, Gao Junya was very similar to Li Jing and Li Ji.

Li Shimin also has great kindness to the second Li. Now Li Jingguan worships the governor of Lingzhou, and Li Jiguan worships the governor of Qizhou. Li Shimin tried to win over more than once, but the second Li always insisted on integrity and abided by his duties as a courtier. He has always refused to express his support for King Qin.

They may have some neutral thoughts of being wise and protecting themselves, but Gao Chong knows that in their hearts, they are always loyal to the monarch, and they just abide by their duties to fulfill their responsibilities as ministers.

Thinking of this, Gao Chong somewhat guessed the reason why his father was looking for him tonight, he was relieved and said with a relaxed smile: "Don't worry, Aye, we won't mess around.

I believe you can also see that the crown prince is already at sunset, and it only takes a few more rounds of fighting to bring him down, and the king of Qin will leave him rich and honored for the rest of his life."

Gao Junya couldn't help being a little surprised, and looked at Gao Chong and nodded seriously, "It's good that you understand what it means to be a father. Remember, you must never take violent measures. Once there is a precedent like this, it will cause endless harm."

Now it was Gao Chong's turn to be astonished, your father is worthy of being your father, he is well aware of the harm of armed mutiny.

On the original trajectory, after the Xuanwumen mutiny, although Li Shimin ascended to the throne as he wished, the far-reaching impact it produced has always affected the entire Tang Dynasty.

Emperor Taizong ascended to the throne after the mutiny, and finally became a generation of Mingjun, "Taizong's career is brilliant, and the establishment is very grand." Since Emperor Taizong can mutiny, so can I.

It is this kind of mentality that can be said to directly affect the Tang royal family: Li Chengqian's rebellion, Li You's rebellion, Li Yuanjing's rebellion, Shenlong's coup, Jinglong's coup, Tang Long's coup, Xiantian's coup...

This series of coups were sinister and vicious, with complicated contradictions, which not only violated family relationships, but also caused extremely serious internal friction for the Tang Dynasty.

The reason, after all, is the greed of the people, but the influence of the "example" of the Xuanwumen Change cannot be ignored.

Okay, I nodded approvingly, "What Aye said is very true. The child knows it, and the King of Qin also knows it. The best result is a peaceful transition, with as little blood as possible. After all, the King of Qin doesn't want to be blamed."

Hearing what Gao Chong said, Gao Junya was relieved, and sighed: "The prince has lost his holy favor even after he fainted, you should also feel relieved."

On the surface, Gao Chong agreed, but he knew in his heart that this reassurance was not careless. Li Jiancheng was able to kill him on the original trajectory, and he can do the same now.

The next day, it happened to be Xiu Mu, so Gao Chong led Gao Yanxing and accompanied Li Xiuwan into the palace to celebrate the birthday of Concubine Wan Gui.

Li Zhiyun, King of Chu, has been favored by Gao Junya for saving his life, and he has always traveled frequently with the Duke of Yan's mansion, and their relationship is very close.

Concubine Wan Gui treated Gao Junya with kindness. What's more, Li Xiuwan's biological mother passed away early. She was brought up by Concubine Wan Gui, out of love and reason, Concubine Wan Gui's birthday, Gao Chong also went to celebrate her birthday.

When I came to Concubine Wan Gui's bedroom, I saw Li Zhiyun fighting outside the door, next to a handsome young man standing with his head down, his face flushed, his fists clenched tightly, he seemed very dissatisfied, Li Zhiyun also had a sullen expression on his face, wanting to be angry Not daring to be angry.

Gao Chong was surprised when he saw this, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, King Chu? Why do you have such an expression on Uncle Daosheng's face?"

It turned out that the boy next to Li Zhiyun was his uncle, Wan Xuandao, the younger brother of Concubine Wan Gui, named Daosheng.

Gao Chong is no stranger to him, because when Concubine Wan Gui's father, Governor Wan Wu of Yangzhou, passed away, Wan Xuandao was still a baby, Concubine Wan Gui was old and loved her younger brother, so Li Yuan allowed Concubine Wan Gui to take him with him to raise him, so Wan Xuandao grew up in the palace.

"Mr. Gao, the prince is deceiving people too much." Seeing Gao Chong approaching, before Li Zhiyun could speak, Wan Xuandao said angrily, "It's the concubine's birthday today. Not only did the prince not come to celebrate her birthday, but he also spoke rudely. This made the Eastern Palace so angry last night. The sinus rate is even higher."

Although Wan Xuandao is not very old, his words and deeds are strict. He is the younger brother of Concubine Wan Gui, Li Yuan's brother-in-law (commonly known as brother-in-law), and his seniority is high. Starting from Li Xiuwan, he is Gao Chong's elder, but he is younger than Gao Chong , I have always kept etiquette, and calling him the gentleman of the Gao family means getting close without losing etiquette.

Gao Chong was startled when he heard the words, and asked in surprise, "Dou rate more? Master Dou?"

Li Zhiyun nodded straight, with a look of grief and indignation, but it was hard to tell, after all, he was the prince.

Wan Xuandao told Gao Chong about the cause and effect in detail, and then said very angrily: "As an elder, if the imperial concubine is busy with state affairs, it's fine if she doesn't come to congratulate her, why is she framed for nothing?"

Gao Chong glanced at Wan Xuandao in surprise. He is young, but he is quite responsible. His words are well-founded, and he will not fall into the shoes of others. Unlike Li Zhiyun, he dares not speak out when he is angry, perhaps because of Li Jiancheng's prestige in the past .

What Gao Chong didn't know was that although Wan Xuandao on the original trajectory was not well-known and had no achievements, he was still a capable minister. Occupying an important position, the eight-character comment on the epitaph is enough to sum it up: "Diligently cultivate military affairs and serve the country diligently."

"Then how should the saint deal with it?" Gao Chong took a deep breath and asked, this is the key.

Unexpectedly, such a big event happened overnight, framing Concubine Wan Gui with words, angering Dou Shigan, the important official of the Eastern Palace, Li Jiancheng is really good at it, you stab yourself like crazy before I even make a move.

"I haven't dealt with it yet," Li Zhiyun muttered, "It was just a good birthday banquet, and now I'm not interested in it at all."

Li Xiuwan next to her was also annoyed, but after all she had cultivated well, she stepped forward and pulled Li Zhiyun, "Don't be angry Wulang, today is the imperial concubine's birthday, we should be more happy, it would be bad for the imperial concubine to see this."
