The eldest grandson Wuji and the others guessed correctly, Gao Ming was indeed using money to plug the ministers' mouths.

The last time Li Shimin sent troops to seek peace with Luzon Island, the reason why he did not encounter any obstruction was because in the eyes of these officials, these two places were not even considered a country, and they would be taken if they were taken.

And Wei Chi Gong went to South Vietnam under the banner of "quelling chaos", so everyone had nothing to say.

But Goguryeo was different.

First of all, Goguryeo is a country, and it is also a nominal vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and it is not a matter of one sentence to send troops to attack.

Secondly, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty died in the third expedition to Goguryeo, although the biggest reason was himself, but this also left many ministers with the impression that "Goguryeo is difficult for each other".

It is precisely because of these two reasons that even if the financial and military affairs of the Tang Dynasty have met the requirements, if you want to fight Goguryeo, you will still encounter a lot of obstacles.

And what Gao Ming is doing now is to sweep away these obstacles.

Before he bombarded the Chang'an City Gate, not only to fight with Li Shimin, he mainly wanted to use this move to let the officials of Datang know that Datang has the confidence to start a war!

But the results were not satisfactory, except for a few far-sighted ministers who understood this, most of them only remembered Gao Ming's sentence "The cannon fires his mother".

There is no way, Gao Ming can only think of another way, and this time playing the game with the Mid-Autumn Festival Moon Banquet is another "crooked move" of Gao Ming.

Many ministers did not realize that Gao Ming planned to do something to Goguryeo, thinking that as long as they said two bad words about Goguryeo, they would get a reward, and of course they would not refuse this kind of good deed.

Some people also realize that Gao Ming may have other plans, but most people have said that if they don't say it, wouldn't it be unsociable?

It's not okay to be an official who doesn't fit in, so they can only follow the crowd.

In such a situation, it didn't take long for most of the people present to get the money, so that the few people who were left who did not speak were more obvious.

Gao Ming first set his eyes on the eldest grandson Wuji, and then smiled at him.

"What does Zhao Guogong think Goguryeo should do?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Eldest Sun Wuji suddenly showed a wry smile.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, can the old man not play this game?"

As the "first brother" of the court, for the sake of his political career, the eldest grandson Wuji is very careful in what he says, otherwise he will leave a handle for his political enemies if he doesn't pay attention.

As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji's words fell, Gao Ming shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't care, playing games is something you want me to do, since you don't want to play, I can't force you, right? It's a big deal that I won't play with you in the future. ”

“……”

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Eldest Sun Wuji understood that it was impossible for him to stay out of the matter, and the expression on his face suddenly became even more bitter.

"Since this is the case, then the old man will talk about his opinion of Goguryeo, and the old man thinks that Goguryeo should be defeated!"

The eldest grandson Wuji did not say Goguryeo's guilt, but directly stated his attitude, because he knew what Gao Ming wanted.

In fact, Gao Ming was waiting for his words, and as soon as his voice fell, Gao Ming immediately burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, my uncle is really insightful, and he deserves to be the minister of my humerus in the Tang Dynasty, deserve to be rewarded!"

After saying that, Gao Ming immediately took out two gold ingots from the box and handed them to him, and then raised his eyebrows at him.

Seeing this scene, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly cried and laughed a little.

If you don't achieve your goal, you will be called "Zhao Guogong", and if you achieve your goal, you will be called "uncle", which is too realistic.

However, Gao Ming's realistic attitude also made the remaining ministers see the momentum clearly, and before Gao Ming could speak again, they stood up one after another to make their positions clear.

"The old minister thinks that Goguryeo should be defeated!"

"Weichen seconded!"

"Weichen seconded!"

Gao Ming did not discriminate because they came out late, but whoever opened his mouth was rewarded.

Thus, by the time the feast was over, most of the chests of silver remained, but there was very little left of the chests of gold.

After the banquet, the officials left Guanglu Temple one after another, and Li Shimin also left, and asked Gao Ming with great interest when he left.

"A thousand taels of gold just scattered like this, isn't it distressing?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming grinned again.

"Hehe, what's so distressing, as long as the problem can be solved with money, it doesn't matter if you spend some money!"

"I see!"

Li Shimin nodded, stepped into the carriage, and left under the escort of Qian Niuwei.

After Li Shimin left, Gao Ming's face suddenly collapsed.

"Damn, my money, my 1,000 taels of gold, alas, mom, I feel sorry for me......"

Gao Ming felt that he was dying to save face, but the money had been dispersed, and it was impossible to come back, so he could only comfort himself as much as possible.

"Anyway, this money is also for nothing, if it is scattered, it will be dispersed, and there will be more opportunities to make money in the future, as the so-called cannon sounds, the gold is ten thousand taels, and when Goguryeo is defeated, the money will come."

Thinking about it like this, Gao Ming suddenly felt much better, so he got into the sedan chair and told the sedan chair man to return to the Furong Garden.

On the way back, Gao Ming opened the sedan curtain and looked at the bright moon in the sky, but Huzi's honest smile appeared in his mind.

Thinking of this, Gao Ming's face also showed a smile.

"For Huzi, a foodie, today should be his happiest day, right?"

Thinking of this, Gao Ming sighed again.

"Alas...... I don't know what happened to the war in South Vietnam? It should be almost over, right? ”

Gao Ming's guess was right, at this time, the war in South Vietnam was indeed coming to an end.

Now Wei Chi Gong has forced the defeat of thousands of remnants of South Vietnam to the southernmost point of South Vietnam - Luofu State.

The desperate counterattack of the South Vietnamese rebels did not stop the footsteps of the Tang army, and the vanguard led by Hu Zi, like a sharp sword, ruthlessly cut off the last hope of the South Vietnamese rebels.

"For the sake of His Royal Highness the Prince, kill!"

Huzi shouted as he swung the sledgehammer in his hand, and with a single blow he scooped a dark-skinned South Vietnamese.

At this moment, the tiger was covered in blood, holding two sledgehammers in his hands and charging into the enemy formation, killing a river of blood, and the South Vietnamese rebels looked at him with fear in their eyes, as if they saw a ghost, seeing him rushing over, many people even turned around and ran.

In the war of cold weapons, the role of the general is very large, as the so-called "will be a soldier's courage", a fierce general who is not afraid of death, can greatly boost morale, even in the case of the deterioration of the situation, still lead the army to victory.

And Huzi is such a person.

Huzi was covered in blood, and the soldiers who followed him also killed one by one "bloody people", although people continued to fall, but more soldiers added in, killing the South Vietnamese people were defeated and retreated, and even many South Vietnamese people knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

However, it is a pity that these surrendered South Vietnamese rebels did not get a chance to live, and the moment they knelt down, they were cut to the ground by the Tang troops who rushed up, and then their left ears were cut off.

These Tang soldiers were so skillful that it only took a few breaths to cut off the South Vietnamese to cut off their ears and throw them into their collars.

Unable to fight and fight, surrender and surrender, the South Vietnamese rebels suddenly ran faster, and it didn't take long for the defeat that had been resisted to evolve into an unorganized rout.

Seeing this scene, Wei Chigong's face suddenly showed a bright smile.

"It seems that the class will be able to return to the court soon!"
