Chapter 620: Busy

If someone else said such a thing, Li Shimin would definitely disdain it and even sneer at it, but when these words came out of Gao Ming's mouth, the situation was different.

Because with Li Shimin's understanding, he knows that Gao Ming is not the kind of person who talks nonsense.

But it was precisely because of this that he was even more confused.

"Gao Ming, your words are a little unbelievable, this Wang Xuance is just a mere Chaosan doctor from the fifth grade, what is his ability to make you respect him so much"

"This is probably intuition, and it has nothing to do with official positions."

Of course, it was impossible for Gao Ming to tell Li Shimin the real reason, because he wouldn't believe it even if he said it, so he immediately snorted.

"In short, old man, you can rest assured and boldly let him go to Magadha to envoy to the kingdom of Magadha, tell him not to be cowardly when he encounters trouble, he must maintain the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, as long as he remembers this, everything is allowed to act cheaply"

"Ugh"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin was stunned at first, and then looked at him in surprise.

"You mean to let Wang Xuance go alone, you don't go with him"

"What am I going to do?"

As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, Gao Ming immediately rolled his eyes.

"There's still a lot of things waiting for me to do here, I can't separate them at all, just let Wang Xuance go alone, or let him bring a few followers, okay, I have to go back to the East Palace, you can rest early"

After speaking, Gao Ming arched his hand towards Li Shimin, saluted, and then turned away.

After he left, Li Shimin paced a few steps in the room, feeling that he couldn't calm down at all, so he simply commanded the eunuchs at the door.

"Go, call me to Wang Xuance, the doctor of Chaosan, I want to see him"

"Yes, Your Majesty"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, the little eunuch immediately agreed, and then hurriedly ran to call Wang Xuance to Li Shimin's bedroom.

After Wang Xuance arrived, he didn't know what he talked about with Li Shimin, so the lights in Li Shimin's bedroom were turned on all night.

Early the next morning, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials in the court, Li Shimin appointed Wang Xuance as the westward ambassador to the Tianzhu Magadha Kingdom, and sent a small team of imperial forest troops to accompany him.

It can be seen that he also attaches great importance to Wang Xuance's trip.

As for whether it was because of Gao Ming's attitude or because of the content of the conversation with Wang Xuance last night, only he knew.

On the day of Wang Xuance's departure, Gao Ming, as the crown prince, sent him to Zhuque Street outside the south gate of Chang'an on behalf of the Tang royal family, and personally handed over a brand-new Tang horizontal knife to him.

"Doctor Wang, this is a long way to Magadha, this knife is my blade, although I have never seen blood, but it is not a decorative thing, you can take it, you can act cheaply in case of trouble, remember not to fall the majesty of my Tang Dynasty"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Wang Xuance's eyes suddenly turned red with excitement, and he immediately knelt down with a "poof".

"Thank you to the prince for your generous gift, and Weichen received the order"

After speaking, he raised his hands and took the horizontal knife from Gao Ming's hands.

Seeing his excited appearance, Gao Ming smiled slightly, and then reached out to help him up.

"Doctor Wang doesn't need to be polite, please get up, and when you return from Magadha, I will personally ask for credit for you."

"Yes, Weichen must live up to his mission, do you have any other explanations for the prince?"

"Anything else?"

Hearing Wang Xuance's words, Gao Ming thought for a while, then nodded with a smile.

"Well, there really is one, I once heard that there is a beautiful princess of Gitanjali in Magadha, when the time comes, you can bring her portrait back to me, okay, the time is almost up, let's go"

"Yes, Weichen is one step ahead, and the prince takes care"

After speaking, Wang Xuance got on his horse, and then walked away with his entourage, and their shadows disappeared from Gao Ming's sight.

When he couldn't see Wang Xuance and the others at all, Gao Ming let out a long sigh.

"Alas, if I could, I would like to go with him, but it's a pity that I don't have the skills."

Gao Ming shook his head as he spoke, and then transferred to the Ministry of Military Industry, and began his busy life for a new day, until the night approached, and then dragged his tired body back to the palace.

Seeing his tired appearance, Su Wan'er persuaded him distressedly while ordering someone to bring the food and rice.

"Since Lang Jun returned to Chang'an, he has always gone out at dawn and only come back after dark, so tired Wan'er is really worried, can't he let others do it?"

"Not yet."

Hearing Su Wan'er's words, Gao Ming smiled at her while taking his daughter from her arms.

"But it's coming soon, and when I'm done with the Treasury bills and the train, I'll be able to accompany you well."

"Train" Hearing this new term, Su Wan'er immediately showed a look of curiosity, "Wan'er only knows ox carts and carriages, what is this train?"

"Well, this one."

Faced with Su Wan'er's doubts, Gao Ming summed up the language before answering her.

"In fact, this train is the same as the ox cart and horse-drawn carriage, it is a means of transportation, except that the cow and horse eat grass, while the train eats coal and runs faster."

"Ah" Hearing Gao Ming's words, Su Wan'er's eyes immediately widened, "It's still such a magical thing."

Seeing her eyes widen and look surprised, Gao Ming couldn't help grinning again and nodded at the same time.

"Yes, it's such a magical thing, the preliminary preparations began last year, and now it has reached the final stage, at most in two or three months, you can see the train, when the time comes, as long as you take the train, it only takes an hour from Chang'an to Luoyang, even if it only takes half a day to Taiyuan Mansion"

"Ahh

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Su Wan'er's eyes widened again, her eyes full of disbelief.

Although Su Wan'er has lived in the deep palace for a long time, she also knows that even if she rides a fast horse from Chang'an to Luoyang, it will take three days, and it will take more than a week to go to Taiyuan, and if she takes a carriage, the time will have to be doubled.

But now Gao Ming said that as long as she gets on the train, it only takes an hour to get from Chang'an to Luoyang, and even if she gets to Taiyuan Mansion, it only takes half a day, which is unbelievable in her opinion.

However, as a wife, she would not question her husband in person, so she didn't say much in front of Gao Ming.

It wasn't until the next day when Li Shimin came to the East Palace and asked what Gao Ming was doing recently that she told Li Shimin about the train.

Unlike Su Wan'er, Li Shimin, who had seen steam tanks, had already understood the magic of machinery, so after listening to Su Wan'er's words, he couldn't sit still.

"It's not okay for trains to have this kind of magical thing, I'll have to see it for myself"

After speaking, he got up and left the East Palace, and rode directly towards the Ministry of Military Industry outside the city.
