Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 78 Li Shimin's Doubts
Although Zhang Sizheng was unwilling to offend Li Goudan easily, but only if Li Goudan did not take the initiative to provoke him, once Li Goudan "crossed the line", Zhang Sizheng would not spoil him.

For Zhang Sizheng, the title "Azheng" can only be called by people he approves, and the premise of this recognition is at least equal to his status, or even higher than him, but what is Li Goudan's status? ?
civilian!

In Zhang Sizheng's heart, he is also a dignified captain of Zhenwei from the sixth rank, and a serious military officer of the court. How could he let Li Goudan, a commoner, climb on top of him?
It's easy to beat him!

Li Goudan, on the other hand, was taken aback by the future described by Gao Ming. His heart was full of admiration and fantasies about the future, so he forgot his current identity for a while. At the wrong time and in the wrong place, he used the wrong The method provoked Zhang Sizheng.

So he was beaten.

Fortunately, he begged for mercy in time when he saw that the situation was not good, so he only received a few slaps, and he didn't hurt his muscles and bones. This is also a blessing in misfortune.

However, Li Goudan didn't realize his mistake, instead he was suffocated.

"Okay Zhang Sizheng, you are very good now? When I become the uncle of the country, I will see if I will send you to guard the gate outside Chang'an city!"

Thinking of how Zhang Sizheng begged him bitterly in the future, Li Goudan's mood inexplicably improved, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Sizheng was next to him, watching Li Goudan gritted his teeth for a while, and smiled again for a while, then frowned immediately, and then muttered in his heart.

"Is this guy sick? Or is he planning to trip me up secretly? At most, he's going to complain to His Highness the Crown Prince. Hmph, I'm not afraid of you!"

From Zhang Sizheng's point of view, Li Goudan will definitely not be able to accomplish anything. If he fails at that time, he will lead someone to capture King Qi and bring him to Gao Ming. The credit will be his own.

Taking a step back, even if Li Goudan succeeds, it is impossible for him to bring King Qi back to Chang'an by himself, and he will still need his own strength at that time. In this way, the credit will be divided equally. Ride on your own head.

Thinking of this, Zhang Sizheng immediately sneered in his heart.

"If you want to climb on top of me, in your next life!"

Li Goudan also sneered in his heart.

"You are arrogant now, and you will still have to obediently call me Uncle Guo in the future!"

On the way back to the barracks, the two looked at each other, and they both saw deep disdain in each other's eyes, so they snorted coldly in unison.

"Humph!"

Although Zhang Sizheng and Li Gou didn't like each other, they didn't dare to be sloppy with the task given by Gao Ming. After returning to the barracks and packing up all the things they needed, they left with dozens of knights as night fell. Leaving Chang'an, headed for Qizhou.

After Zhang Sizheng and Li Goudan left Chang'an, Li Shimin received the news immediately, and he frowned immediately.

"Dozens of people left Chang'an together. What is Gao Ming planning to do?"

Li Shimin couldn't guess the answer, so he could only order the spies to continue to follow, and report back in time if there was any situation.

A few days later, Li Shimin finally received the report from the spies, and this time he was a little surprised.

"Stopped in Qizhou? Qizhou seems to be Yuer's fief?"

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's brows frowned even deeper. He thought for a while before shouting at the eunuchs waiting outside.

"Come on, please invite the prince to come to the imperial study!"

"Yes!"

The eunuch guarding the door could tell that Li Shimin's tone was urgent, so he didn't dare to delay, so he quickened his pace and went to the East Palace to invite Gao Ming.

At this time, Gao Ming had just had lunch and was lying on a deck chair basking in the sun.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were only Hu stools and Hu beds, but no chairs. This reclining chair was made by Gao Ming who drew the blueprints and asked the people from the Ministry of Industry to make it. There was only one like this in the entire palace. It was a rarity!
At this time, Gao Ming was lying on the reclining chair with a satisfied face, Shi Jian and Shi Shu were waiting on the side, one fed him fruit, and the other helped him massage his legs, Gao Ming narrowed his eyes because of the excitement.

"This is life!"

Gao Ming felt that he was deeply in love with Datang.

Just when he was drowsy, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps, and after a while, a slightly shrill voice sounded beside him.

"His Royal Highness, Your Majesty has sent you to the Imperial Study Room for an audience!"

Hearing this, Gao Ming blinked immediately, and then yawned.

"what?"

Seeing his slightly confused appearance, the eunuch didn't dare to show dissatisfaction, so he had to say it again next to Gao Ming's ear, and Gao Ming nodded his head now.

"I understand, you go out and wait outside first!"

"Yes!"

After the eunuch went out, Gao Ming glanced at Shi Jian.

"Go, have my chariot brought out."

"Yes!"

Shi Jian went to get someone to prepare the chariot, while Su Wan'er smiled at Gao Ming.

"Father is really kind to His Highness. In our entire palace, except for Father, only Your Highness can walk around the palace in a chariot."

As soon as Su Wan'er finished speaking, Gao Ming raised his eyebrows.

"It's not what I want to sit on. As long as I don't let me go to court, don't let me have an audience, I don't want this carriage, and it doesn't matter!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Su Wan'er immediately rolled her eyes at him.

"Your Highness is talking nonsense again, well, the chariot is here, Your Highness, you should go quickly, don't keep father waiting for a long time!"

"understood!"

Gao Ming agreed feebly, then slowly got up from the reclining chair, and got on the walking chariot with a few wobbles. That lazy look made Su Wan'er both annoyed and funny.

After Gao Ming sat firmly, several eunuchs lifted up the walking chariot, and then walked towards the Forbidden Garden at a faster pace.

After arriving at the entrance of the imperial study room, Gao Ming immediately put away his lazy look, and when he heard that he was let in, he walked in with his head held high, and then bowed his hands to Li Shimin, who was facing his back.

"My son has seen his father!"

Hearing Gao Ming's voice, Li Shimin didn't turn around, but waved to the eunuch next to him.

"You all go out!"

"Yes!"

Under Li Shimin's order, the eunuch went out immediately and closed the door behind him.

When the door of the imperial study room was closed, Li Shimin turned around and spoke to Gao Ming.

"Gao Ming, do you know why I sent you here this time?"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin suddenly found that Gao Ming raised his right hand, so he immediately frowned.

"What are you holding your right hand for?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming put down his right hand and smiled towards Li Shimin.

"Uh...Actually, I have a question that I have always wanted to ask you, Father. Why did you turn your back to me when I came in? I remember that you were like this last time. Did you also do this when you were meeting those ministers? This Are you pretending to be mysterious?"

"..."

Li Shimin's face darkened suddenly.
