Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 87
After lunch, Gao Ming began to "make up" Li Yin.

After the "makeup" was finished, besides the cloth strips wrapped around Li Yin's head, Gao Ming even fixed his left arm with two wooden boards, and then wrapped the cloth strips around his neck, which looked like a hand. It was broken, and with the deliberately unwashed blood on his face, he looked rather shocking.

Seeing Li Yin's "tragic appearance", Gao Ming was satisfied, so he let Li Yin set off.

Li Yin's road to apology went smoothly, basically in line with Gao Ming's expectations. When those officials saw Li Yin's "tragic appearance", coupled with his apology and "medical expenses", the other party was very upset. He readily forgave him, and expressed appreciation for Li Shimin's "not covering up" attitude.

Of course, there are also disagreements.

As soon as they heard that Li Yin came to the door to apologize, they simply avoided seeing him. Some said that they had sent their son away to seek medical treatment, while others said they were going to visit friends, and there was only one purpose——

Do not accept Li Yin's apology!

So when Li Yin returned to the East Palace and told Gao Ming about this, Gao Ming became angry immediately.

"I didn't expect that there were people who didn't give face. How many of them didn't see people?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Yin immediately became excited.

"There are two families, and these two families live near the Xuanwu Gate. Brother, shall we go and throw dung in front of their house?"

Seeing Li Yin's excited face, Gao Ming sighed suddenly.

"Hey, don't be so rash. Even if you want revenge, you have to find out the truth. What if someone really went out for something? Well, you have nothing to do here, go back!"

"Oh!"

At this time Li Yin was indeed tired, and after hearing what Gao Ming said, he went back to rest, and after Li Yin returned, Gao Ming called Hegan Chengji to the East Palace.

"Aki, I have something for you to do now. You can bring someone to check for me to see how many Yanguan's mansions are near Xuanwumen, and whether they are at home today, and if they are not at home, where did they go? , go check it now, and give me a report before five watch."

"Yes!"

After receiving Gao Ming's order, Hegan Chengji went out to investigate, and his movements were also extremely fast. Before it was dark, he ran to report back to Gao Ming.

"Report to His Royal Highness, the subordinates have already investigated clearly. There are two official residences outside the Xuanwu Gate. They are both at home, and according to the investigations of the subordinates, it seems that Liang Wang has been there today, but he ate. Close the door."

Hearing Hegan Chengji's return, Gao Ming immediately knew it, so he nodded.

"Well, you did a good job on this matter. Now I will give you another thing. After you go back, find a few smart people and ask them to change into casual clothes. Tomorrow morning, pick two loads of shit to guard the two officials. at the gate of the mansion."

Having said this, Gao Ming suddenly showed a sneer.

"As long as they dare to come out, let people splash their heads and faces with dung, and spread the news everywhere after the pouring is over, so that everyone knows that they rejected King Liang's pleading guilty, and then make things bigger, the bigger the mess, the better. !"

When Hegan Chengji heard this, he immediately saluted Gao Ming.

"Yes, little one, let's do it!"

After Hegan Chengji left, Gao Ming sneered again.

"Hmph, you don't have to drink a toast, and you don't have to drink as a fine. Since you are not willing to let me go, don't blame me for being rude!"

The next morning, Gao Ming got up early, and went to court in a walking chariot.

The reason why Gao Ming did this was to prevent the officials from finding fault. After all, there are many people who obviously accepted the apology, but then contradicted it a day later.

Soon it was time to go to court. After Gao Ming entered, he stood quietly at the lower left of Li Shimin, and then looked at the courtiers below with a calm face.

After a while, Li Shimin also came, which also represented the official start of the morning court on this day.

The first thing I want to talk about is naturally about Li Min. After all, Li Shimin said yesterday in front of all civil and military officials, and if he wants to give an explanation to those officials, naturally he can't just keep his word.

Before speaking, Li Shimin glanced at Gao Ming, and when he saw Gao Ming smiling and nodding at him, he opened his mouth to the courtiers below.

"Yesterday I heard that King Liang was virtuous. After finding out the truth, I was deeply saddened. I originally planned to demote him to a commoner, but the crown prince begged for mercy, so I think I will give him another chance. What do you love?"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, the hall fell silent, and after a while, a speaker stood up and bowed deeply to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty is wise, King Liang knows his mistakes and can correct them. He came to the door yesterday to plead guilty, and I have already forgiven him!"

After speaking, the speaker suddenly smiled, and then backed away.

With someone taking the lead, things would be easier to handle, and then the dozen or so officials stood up and said that they had forgiven Li Yin, and some even planned to return the medical expenses that Li Yin gave to show their generosity.

Seeing that things went so smoothly, Li Shimin also had a smile on his face.

"You Egyptians are indeed sensible people, huh? It seems that you haven't seen Zhao Aiqing and Chen Aiqing!"

At this time, Gao Ming stood up immediately, and then bowed his hands towards Li Shimin.

"Father, the king of Liang went to plead guilty to those adults with his wounds yesterday. Everyone already knew about it, and all the adults forgave him magnanimously."

Speaking of this, Gao Ming immediately cupped his hands in the direction of the officials, and the officials saw Gao Ming's movements, and nodded towards him with a smile on their faces, which was regarded as a response.

After this brief exchange, Gao Ming immediately changed his serious expression, and saluted Li Shimin.

"However, Zhao Yushi and Chen Yushi, facing King Liang's wounded pleading guilty, lied that they were not at home. After Liang Wang left, they went out as if nothing had happened. This scene was watched by many people in Chang'an It has arrived, so many people are deeply suspicious of our Datang's way of employing people."

Having said that, Gao Ming immediately shook his head.

"That's why some righteous people felt that they couldn't stand it anymore, so they used their own methods. That's why I heard this morning that Zhao Yushi and Chen Yushi were covered in dung."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin suddenly showed a strange look on his face.

"Being angry and trying to be strong? What's the explanation?"

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Gao Ming saluted him again, then shook his head regretfully.

"I want to report to my father, the dung painted on the wall mentioned by my son is not what you said to be angry, but refers to Zhao Yushi and Chen Yushi's home, which was painted on the wall with dung. It’s up—smear dung on the wall!”

Li Shimin: "..."

Ministers: "..."

It seemed that he was shocked by Gao Ming's "painting the wall with dung", and for a while, the whole court became silent.

Seeing everyone's astonished faces, Gao Ming spoke again.

"Zhao Yushi and Chen Yushi were deeply favored by the emperor but did not want to repay it, which is disloyalty; it is disrespectful to ask the King of Liang to avoid seeing Jing, it is disrespectful; For a person who is so unkind, so disloyal, disrespectful, untrustworthy, and unkind, what face does he have to continue to be an official?"

As soon as Gao Ming's words came out, all the civil and military officials in the court knew that the crown prince was trying to see him with a dagger, and he was about to see blood with a bayonet!
