Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 43
Looking at the domineering Gao Ming, Li Zhi and Li Yin really didn't dare to speak back, they just stood there silently with their heads down, it seemed that they were really worried that Gao Ming would hit them.

And Li Ke, who had been highly praised by Gao Ming, felt a little stressed at this time, even breaking out in cold sweat, and secretly complained in his heart.

"Brother, thank you for looking up to me, but everyone else is still here, you say that in front of them, you are putting me on the fire!"

Gao Ming didn't know that Li Ke was worrying, and he was still talking to himself.

"Third brother, since you're back, come to the East Palace after the next court, we brothers have a good chat, we promise to see each other, so it's agreed!"

After finishing speaking, he slapped Li Ke on the back with a "slap". The pain made him grin his teeth, but he could only show a forced smile.

"Thank you, Brother Huang, for your attention, Ke, respect is worse than obedience."

"Just waiting for your words, hahahaha!"

Amidst Gao Ming's laughter, the time to go to court finally arrived, and as the city gate opened, all the civil and military officials who had been waiting outside for a long time also entered.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming patted Li Ke on the shoulder again.

"Okay, it's time to go up, let's go!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Ke bowed to him again.

"Please, brother!"

Seeing how polite he was, Gao Ming could only nod his head, and then walked forward. After Gao Ming took two steps, he followed.

It wasn't until Gao Ming and Li Ke walked a certain distance that Li Zhi looked at Li Yin.

"Brother Six, let's go too!"

"Ok!"

Li Yin nodded, then took a step forward, muttering as he walked.

"Brother Huang looks much more powerful than before. Although he is smiling all the time, why do I feel that he is much more terrifying than before? It's really strange..."

Li Yin is very puzzled, but unfortunately, his doubt will never be answered.

With the arrival of Li Shimin, the early court began. First, officials above the third rank put forward some political opinions and other issues. Then Li Shimin asked other ministers to participate in the discussion on this issue. Everyone felt that there was no problem and issued an order to implement it.

The "Department of Ideological and Political Affairs" proposed by Gao Ming the day before was also brought up, but it was Hou Junji, Shangshu of the Ministry of War who proposed this topic, apparently at the behest of Li Shimin.

A topic like this has actually been passed internally, and it was put forward just as a show. Naturally, no one objected, and the ministers unanimously passed it.

When Li Shimin announced that the Ideological and Political Department was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, but the prince was directly in charge, almost all the ministers looked at Gao Ming with suspicion.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming could only shake his head to express helplessness, it is normal for others to doubt, who made the former prince Li Chengqian stay away from business all day long?
It's worth mentioning that at this time, Hou Junji showed a meaningful smile to Gao Ming, which made Gao Ming feel a little chilly, and his brows immediately frowned.

"Old Hou's expression is wrong, it makes me feel a little scared..."

Gao Ming felt that he seemed to have forgotten something important, but he couldn't remember it after thinking about it for a while, so he shook his head helplessly.

"Forget it, if you can't remember it, go back and think about it. It shouldn't be a big deal anyway."

At this time, the discussion is almost over, and the next step is the officials and censors, but they are not here to put forward political opinions, but to impeach others.

The officials of the Tang Dynasty have a special privilege, which is called "rumours and events", which means that as long as he hears that there is something wrong with an official, as long as he thinks it is true, he does not need to have evidence, and he can be heard in the court. Impeach the other party.

In this way, those who were impeached were naturally unhappy, and then the people on both sides argued in the courtroom one sentence at a time, while Li Shimin listened on it, and said from time to time, "Is there such a thing?" " and other innocuous words.

The ministers listened with gusto, feeling like they were watching the crowd, but Gao Ming was a little drowsy.

"so boring!"

Taking advantage of the distraction of everyone's attention, Gao Ming calmly took two steps to the side, found a pillar to stick to, and then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Li Shimin soon discovered Gao Ming's little movements, watching his head doze off little by little, the corners of Li Shimin's eyes twitched several times.

"This kid is really brave!"

Fortunately, the officials were not paying attention here at this time, otherwise if they saw Gao Ming's appearance, their target of impeachment would definitely turn to Gao Ming immediately, and it would be endless by then!

In order to prevent such a thing from happening, Li Shimin decisively stopped the quarrel below, and then waved his hands.

"Okay, let's put this matter aside for the time being, and deal with it after I send someone to find out the truth. Let's retreat!"

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin stood up and walked out, and the eunuch below also shouted.

"Retreat!"

At this moment, Gao Ming was in a state of half-dream and half-awake. After hearing the voice of "retreating from the court", he immediately woke up, and then roared loudly without thinking about it.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

At this moment, the court hall was already very quiet, and Gao Ming's words were roared out, and the roar immediately resounded throughout the court hall, and the eyes of all civil and military officials present were immediately attracted.

Seeing civil and military officials all over the dynasty staring at him blankly, Gao Ming finally realized that the phrase "Long live my emperor, long live, long live" seems to have started to rise after Wu Zetian, that is to say, during Li Shimin's period. , this name has not yet appeared!

Thinking of this, Gao Ming was a little dumbfounded.

"Damn it, TV shows are killing people!"

At this time, Li Shimin was also stunned, and stopped after taking two steps, and then looked at Gao Ming in astonishment.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live?"

After repeating this sentence at the corner of his mouth, a smile appeared on Li Shimin's face.

"interesting!"

Thinking of this, Li Shimin returned to his seat and sat down again, then stood up again and shouted loudly.

"Retreat!"

Following Li Shimin's roar, the eunuch below also shouted loudly.

"Retreat!"

There are no fools in the officialdom, and even if there are, they are rare. After hearing these two "retirement" again, they would not understand Li Shimin's meaning, and immediately imitated the clever way of saying it just now and shouted loudly.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Amidst everyone's shouts, Li Shimin left contentedly, and gave Gao Ming a smiling face before leaving, as if to say——

"Son did a good job, father is very satisfied!"

Seeing Li Shimin leave, Gao Ming sighed and shook his head.

"If you want to be flattering and don't bark, if you don't want to fart, you become a sycophant, and for no reason, you become a sycophant, what are these things!"
