First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 80

78. Conflict at the gate of devotion

Looking at the back of his father walking away gracefully, talking and laughing with various officials along the way, showing his demeanor, Gao Chong suddenly felt that he had a lot to learn.

At least this communicative ability made Gao Chong admire. It seemed that Gao Junya could have a pleasant conversation with anyone, even a stranger who had just arrived in the capital and became an official.

"My father really looks like a prime minister." Seeing Gao Junya surrounded by a group of officials talking and laughing happily, Gao Chong praised with shaking his head.

As soon as the words fell, there was a sneer not far from him, Gao Chong was startled, he quickly turned his head, but saw Liu Wenjing pointing at Gao Chong and laughing, "Zhu Zi is really shameless, to praise him so much for his father".

Gao Chong was stunned for a moment, and then he said angrily: "I didn't expect Sima of the prime minister's mansion to have a habit of spying on other people's words."

Liu Wenjing folded her hands behind her back, snorted coldly, "Zhuzi", and left with a look of disdain after saying that, Liu Wenjing insisted on his own identity, and he didn't want to get entangled with a junior.

"One ear", Gao Chong also looked contemptuous, and then left with his head held high.

"How courageous", Liu Wenjing heard it clearly, and suddenly flew into a rage, "Shuzi, you are looking for death."

Gao Chong was "shocked" when he heard the words, he turned his head and saw a group of imperial guards passing by, he deliberately loudly said: "Brothers, help me, someone wants to kill the imperial court official", after saying that, he dodged behind the imperial guards.

"Liu Wenjing, in broad daylight, in broad daylight, in front of the prime minister's mansion, do you dare to commit murder and plot to assassinate this official?" Gao Chong immediately said in a righteous and awe-inspiring voice.

The square in front of Qianhua Gate is facing the Museum of History, Menxia Province and Imperial Academy, and there are many officials coming and going. Hearing this statement, all the people passing by are shocked.

Liu Wenjing paused, looked around, couldn't help becoming angry from embarrassment, and angrily reprimanded: "Zhuzi is talking crazy, wait and see."

Seeing Liu Wenjing's anger, the subordinate officials in the sub-government and other yamen in small groups did not dare to watch the excitement any more, and walked away quickly, whispering to each other.

"What's the air? In the future, when the king of Tang will take the throne, there will only be Pei Xianggong and Gao Xianggong...".

"Yes, there has never been a one-eared gentleman since ancient times...".

Liu Wenjing's hearing is good, and she heard it vaguely. Hearing the words, his face was gloomy, the veins on his forehead were exposed, and he looked fiercely into the crowd, but he didn't realize who said it.

Hearing the discussion, Gao Chong couldn't help laughing, and walked forward, "If Xianggong Liu has nothing else to do, then I will retire." After speaking, he was at ease and left humming a little song.

Only Liu Wenjing was left gnashing her teeth where she was, with vicious eyes showing.

If you want to destroy it, you must first make it crazy. There is no doubt that although Liu Wenjing is full of strategy, literary and military skills, born in a family, elegant and seemingly perfect, his personality is his Achilles' heel, arrogance.

Gao Junya is hindered by his identity in many things, so it is inconvenient to come forward, but Gao Chong is only eighteen years old, can he be called a young man if he is not arrogant, it is most appropriate for Gao Chong to provoke Liu Wenjing.

It's just that Gao Chong didn't expect that the matter of the Qianhua sect would have a great impact. At night, Gao Chong was processing the documents submitted by the Cao Caos in the right leader's mansion, and was planning to find Du Ruhui, when Li Shimin came here in a hurry.

"Youzhi, I heard that Liu Zhaoren said that he wanted to kill you?" Li Shimin asked in surprise as soon as he met, "What's going on? How did it get so bad? You are my arm, and Zhaoren is also my best friend. What should I do?"

Gao Chong was a little dazed, "This...Second Young Master, it's nothing serious, it's just a few words of quarrel."

"A quarrel?" Li Shimin was taken aback when he heard the words, "Didn't Zhao Ren draw his saber at you, forcing you to seek help from the Imperial Guard?"

Gao Chong was speechless for a moment, and smiled helplessly: "Second Young Master thinks that if I want to beat Liu Wenjing, I still need to ask the guards for help?"

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard the words, and looked at Gao Chong, who was dressed in a sky-blue round-neck gown, with a gentle manner, and unexpectedly ignored Gao Chong's force for a while.

"It seems that the subordinate officials of this province are spreading false rumors, and it is getting more and more outrageous." Gao Chong can probably guess that it must have been spread by the subordinate officials who watched the excitement. son.

However, this seems to be exactly what Gao Chong wanted.

Sure enough, Li Shimin also said angrily: "It seems that there are still too few things to do, and everyone has nothing to do, so I am talking here. I just came back from the camp in the west of the city, and I heard that Liu Zhaoren drew his sword on you and wanted to kill you. Forcing you to seek help from the imperial guards, I was afraid that something might happen to you, luckily it was a false alarm."

Gao Chong's heart felt warm when he heard this, and then he saw Li Shimin was quite worried, "It's just that Zhao Ren has a lot of prejudice against you, this is really difficult."

"It's difficult?" Gao Chong chuckled, "If it's difficult, then I won't do it. I abide by the law, as long as Tang Wang and the second son don't punish me, Liu Zhaoren can do nothing to me."

Li Shimin shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I knew you wouldn't suffer."

Afterwards, he dragged Gao Chong straight to Duke Qin's mansion.

"There will be a banquet at the mansion tonight, and I will introduce a few people to you. I went directly to the Youlingjun mansion after I came back from the camp in the west of the city. Then I went directly to my house," Li Shimin explained while facing Gao Chong with a dazed expression.

After Gao Chong heard this, he put on a show, and hurriedly straightened his clothes, "Second Young Master didn't say it earlier, he would have known that I would have a bath, change clothes, and make up."

Li Shimin rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "A group of rough men in the military camp, who do you dress up with?" Then he seemed to think of something, and jokingly said: "Could it be that you want to dress up and see my sixth sister?"

Good guy, Gao Chong found out that Li Er was no match for real leather, so he hurriedly shook his head and sighed: "This uncle is not serious."

"Brother uncle?" Li Shimin nodded straightly, "Yes, this brother-in-law is not bad."

When he came to Duke Qin's mansion, he found that there were not many people in the hall, only three or five people, and Gao Chongshang heard hearty laughter from outside the door.

After saluting, each took their seats. Gao Chong looked and found that among the five people present, except for Zheng Rentai, who joined the army in Jinyang, Gao Chong didn't know the other four.

"Everyone, apart from Rentai, you probably don't know Youzhi." Li Shimin raised his glass first, "This is Bohai Gaochong, named Youzhi, and he is my first confidant. He is currently the secretary of the right leader of the army and joins the army." , the commander-in-chief Zhu Cao, you are all colleagues, and you know each other."

After finishing speaking, he looked at a middle-aged strong man again, and saw that this man had a resolute face and a meticulous beard. It seemed that he was extremely self-disciplined.

"Yuzhi, this is the Duke of Zanhuang County. His surname is Dou, his name is Taboo, and his style name is Shize. He is my cousin. He used to run Weinan, and he is currently consulting with the Prime Minister's Mansion to join the army. So you two should not know each other."

When Gao Chong heard this, he stood up and toasted, "Young Gao Chong has seen Dou join the army."

This is the Dou family, a veritable relative of the emperor, and will also be an important minister in the future.

Dou Gui is generous and forthright, with a free and easy disposition, he can be called a hero, seeing high respect, he just waved his hands and said: "You don't need to be too polite, my father and I are old acquaintances, just like the people of the world, just call me uncle ".

Gao Chong was stunned, why did his father know everyone before.
