Li Shimin is a typical hawk, and he firmly believes that big fists are the last word.

With this belief, Li Shimin first fought with Li Yuan, and then snatched this country from Li Yuan's hands, and then beat the surrounding countries not daring to take the lead, and forcibly played the name of a heavenly khan.

Therefore, in Li Shimin's heart, there is only one word - hit!

If it's easy to fight, you can fight, and if it's not good, find a niece and kiss who you don't know well, appease the other party, and when you look back, see if you want to fight.

This is Li Shimin's thinking.

Although Li Shimin was very warlike, he never admitted that he was reckless, on the contrary, he looked down on Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, saying that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was an emperor who had been reckless for decades and had not achieved anything.

Therefore, not only the literati are inferior to each other, but the emperor is the same.

However, Li Shimin has an advantage, that is, he can listen to the opinions of others, especially the opinions given by his close people, and Li Shimin will seriously consider them.

"Gao Ming, what does it mean to 'take economic construction as the center'?"

“……”

Hearing Li Shimin's question, Gao Ming was suddenly a little dumbfounded, because this thing can't be explained in one or two sentences, and he can only give full play to his specialty - pulling calves.

"Uh...... This so-called economic construction is to do business, engage in development, let Datang get rid of poverty and become rich, and put this matter in the first place, when the people have money in their families, and we have money in the treasury, Datang will naturally be strong. ”

After listening to Gao Ming's explanation, Li Shimin nodded suddenly.

"Well, there is some truth in this, I have always wanted to use troops against Goguryeo, but unfortunately the treasury is empty, so according to what you said, first engage in this economic construction, and when the treasury is abundant, I will drive the expedition in person!"

Gao Ming: "......"

Can you think of anything other than fighting?

Looking at Li Shimin, who was high-spirited, Gao Ming suddenly realized that what he just said was blind, and he suddenly became a little depressed.

"It's okay, I'll go back first."

Li Shimin didn't know why Gao Ming was suddenly depressed, seeing his listless appearance, he thought that he was unwell because of a hangover, so he nodded immediately.

"Well, let's go back and drink less in the future."

"Got it!"

Gao Ming agreed and turned around and left, and after he left, Li Shimin thought about it and called Liu Bing in again.

"Liu Bing, you go and prepare, I want to go to the Taimiao Temple to worship my ancestors."

"Yes!"

In Li Shimin's view, the reason why Gao Ming has today's changes is that there is no other explanation except that the ancestors have spirits.

When Li Shimin was busy burning incense, Gao Ming was not idle, and after returning to the East Palace, he entered his study and began to write and paint.

What Gao Ming was doing at this time was the drawings of the salt drying plant, including how to build the water canal, how big each evaporation pond and crystallization pond needed to be dug, the layout of the salt field, etc., all of which Gao Ming drew in detail.

After getting the draft out, Gao Ming revised it again and made sure that there was nothing missing, so he called Su Wan'er in, asked her to sort it out, and marked it, and then wrote down the detailed steps of drying salt.

When everything was done, Gao Ming found that Su Wan'er looked at him differently, it was a look of admiration in love.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming suddenly smiled slightly, and then stretched out his finger to hook Su Wan'er's chin.

"Wan'er, I know my thoughts, don't say anything, kiss me!"

Su Wan'er: "(⊙o⊙)..."

At this time, the waiter was standing at the door of Gao Ming's study, and suddenly heard a muffled snort from the room.

Hearing this voice, the waiter immediately frowned.

"This voice seems to be the ...... of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince"

Before the waiter could react, he found that the door of the study suddenly opened.

The moment the study door opened, Su Wan'er covered her face and ran out of it.

"It's ......"

Just as the waiter was stunned, Gao Ming, who had a painful face, also walked out of it.

"Squire, I'm hurt."

After hearing Gao Ming's words, the waiter was suddenly shocked.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, where are you injured, why don't you help you suck the wound first!"

In the knowledge of the servant, if you are injured, you should suck it with your mouth, which is good for the wound.

After hearing the waiter's suggestion, Gao Ming immediately nodded.

"It's a good solution, my tongue hurts, it seems to be quite serious, you ...... Oh, don't you run...... Come back and help me suck it......"

Looking at the waiter who ran away as soon as he slipped away, Gao Ming suddenly sighed.

"Alas...... What about the most basic trust between people? ”

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, the sound of the tiger urn suddenly came from the side.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, what do you want to suck, I'll help you suck!"

Looking at the tiger with a bright smile, Gao Ming's face suddenly darkened.

"Prince Ben's hemorrhoids are committed, he hasn't pulled it for several days, and he is in a panic, and he wants to find someone to suck it, you ......"

Before Gao Ming could finish speaking, Huzi ran away without a trace.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming suddenly felt that his mood was a lot better.

"To be a human being is to learn to find happiness!"

Gao Ming is happy, but there are many people who are destined to be sad.

When he went to the early court the next day, Li Shimin announced the news that more than a dozen officials would be demoted from Chang'an, and they would be demoted directly to Lingnan.

As soon as this holy decree was given, several people in the court immediately fainted.

After leaving the court, Li Ke immediately came to the East Palace and told Gao Ming the news.

"Brother, don't you know, this morning my father disposed of more than a dozen officials in a row, the atmosphere in the hall was particularly depressing, seeing my father's face, none of the ministers dared to speak, so I went down early."

After hearing Li Ke's words, Gao Ming immediately laughed.

"Haha, the old man is pretending, he's in a good mood, by the way, you didn't come today just to tell me the news, right?"

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Li Ke's face suddenly became a little hot, and he hurriedly arched his hand towards Gao Ming.

"I really can't hide anything from you, brother, in fact, I came this time, I really want to ask the imperial brother for something, I hope my brother can agree."

Hearing Li Ke's words, Gao Ming laughed again.

"Haha, they are all their own brothers, what do you ask for or not, just say what you want."

Seeing that Gao Ming agreed so happily, Li Ke also smiled and nodded.

"Since my brother has said so, then I'll say it directly, in fact, I want to go to Qizhou to be the governor, brother, do you have a way?"

Qizhou was Li You's fief at the beginning, and later after Li You was sent by Gao Ming to take Chang'an, the position of the governor of Qizhou was vacant, and now when he heard Li Ke's request, Gao Ming immediately frowned.

"Okay, what are you going to do in Qizhou?"

Hearing Gao Ming's question, Li Ke immediately shook his head, but he didn't say anything.

Seeing that Li Ke didn't seem to want to tell himself the reason, Gao Ming immediately frowned.

"The third child, Qizhou is not a good place to go, it is close to Jizhou and Yingzhou, you should know that the Qinghe Cui family and the Boling Cui family are there, when the fifth child did something, I suspect that these two played a disgraceful role!"

Speaking of this, Gao Ming raised his head and looked at Li Ke with a serious face.

"How can you allow others to snore next to the couch, these two families will not let you stay there comfortably, the third child, if you go, you will definitely not be able to live in peace, you have to think about this."

Seeing Gao Ming's cautious look, Li Ke laughed.

"Brother, I've already thought about it, and I'm not the fifth, besides, isn't there a big brother in the court? As long as you have big brother, I won't be afraid of anything. ”

Hearing Li Ke's words, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing.

"It seems that you kid has already decided, okay, then I'll tell the old man later, let him let you go to Qizhou to be the governor, you can do whatever you want after you arrive in Qizhou, don't take care of others, I'll take care of you if something happens."

"Thank you, brother!"

Looking at Li Ke with a happy face, Gao Ming smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"One world and two brothers, don't be so polite, and I don't have to worry about you doing things, okay, it's noon soon, let's leave after lunch!"

"Yes, brother!"

After lunch, Li Ke left, and after he left, Gao Ming went to the imperial study to tell Li Shimin about it.

"Old man, anyway, the third child has nothing to do in Chang'an, so it's better to let him go to Qizhou, and he can also help you keep an eye on the people of the Cui family by the way."

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Li Shimin immediately nodded.

"Okay, since you said so, let him go to Qizhou, the third person is steady, if he goes, I can rest assured, do you have anything else?"

Usually when others ask, "Do you have anything else?", it is basically a send-off, which Gao Ming certainly understands, so he immediately patted himself on the back of the head.

"Oops, I almost forgot, I still have porridge stewed at home, old man, you are busy, I'll go first!"

After speaking, Gao Ming arched his hand towards Li Shimin, and then turned to leave, looking at the back of him leaving, Li Shimin suddenly shook his head helplessly.

"This kid is so casual when he finds an excuse."

That being said, there was not much blame in Li Shimin's tone, but there was still a bit of spoiling.

In Li Shimin's eyes, Gao Ming is special, and he is a descendant who is blessed by the ancestors of the Li family, so his attitude towards Gao Ming is naturally very different from that of other princes.

Li Shimin also warned his other sons to let them take Gao Ming as an example, and also let them respect Gao Ming and not be rude to Gao Ming.

In fact, even if Li Shimin didn't say it, those princes didn't dare to stand in front of Gao Ming, because even Li Tai, who was the most arrogant at the beginning, knelt down, and with this lesson from the past, others naturally didn't dare to be presumptuous.

In the court, after several confrontations with the courtiers, Gao Ming returned victorious every time, and this time he didn't even show his face, so that more than a dozen officials related to the family were demoted to Lingnan.

Although everyone didn't say it, as long as anyone with a discerning eye can see it, today's Gao Ming has become a veritable No. 2 person in Datang.
