Chapter 270: The Missing Li Su (I)
After sending Du Yiyi away, Gao Ming felt that his life had become leisurely again, and every day he either went to the street to watch juggling, or went to the Royal Academy to inspect, and lived an addiction to school leaders.
On this day, Gao Ming had just gotten up for breakfast, and just as he was about to take the tiger out for a walk, he suddenly heard a neighing sound of a war horse outside the door.
"Appeal ......"
Soon, a dusty knight walked in, and when he saw Gao Ming, he immediately fell down on one knee.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the villain is at the behest of His Majesty, and comes to invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to the palace, this is His Majesty's handwriting!"
As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Gao Ming.
Gao Ming took it and took a look and found that the font on the letter was indeed the flying white font that Li Shimin was good at.
"Well, it's the old man's handwriting!"
Gao Ming opened the envelope as he spoke, and took out the letter inside to look at it.
In the letter, Li Shimin told Gao Ming that Li Zhi had a son, and he was very happy, so he planned to set up a wine and invite the ministers to come to the palace to celebrate together, so he asked Gao Ming to rush back with Li Su as soon as possible.
After reading the letter, Gao Ming showed a look of surprise.
"Li Zhi, this guy is just fifteen years old this year, right? Actually have a son? ”
As soon as he thought of this, Gao Ming suddenly glanced at the letter in his hand again, and his brows suddenly wrinkled.
"No, the old man asked me to take Li Su back as soon as possible, but Li Su has been gone for more than a week, so it stands to reason that he should go to Chang'an, right?"
Gao Ming remembered that Li Su left Jinzhou in a hurry, saying that he was going back to Chang'an to study, and according to his speed on horseback, even if it was slow, he should return to Chang'an in four days.
But now it has been more than a week, and Li Su has not returned to Chang'an, which makes Gao Ming feel very wrong.
"Could it be that the old man is deliberately playing tricks on me? Well, no, he's not that kind of person, that's Li Su, this kid changed his mind halfway...... Well, Li Su, this kid is not a reading material at first glance, and eighty percent of them quietly went to Nanshan to go hunting, this possibility is very high, forget it, for the sake of today, it is better to go back to Chang'an first. ”
Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately waved his hand towards Huzi.
"Huzi, prepare the carriage and horses, let's go back to Chang'an today!"
"Yes!"
Seeing that Huzi had gone to prepare the carriage and horses, Gao Ming glanced at Li Goudan who was standing next to him in a daze.
"Li Goudan, you also go back with me, and by the way, go to see your little lady, you haven't been to see her for a few months, and if you don't go to the little girl, I'm afraid that I will recognize you."
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Goudan also came back to his senses, and he immediately nodded.
"Yes, Wechen knows, Wechen will prepare!"
After saying that, Li Goudan went to clean up his things.
Huzi's movements were the fastest, and the carriage was ready in less than a while, and Gao Ming didn't have anything to pack, so he got into the carriage with Benben.
At this time, Li Goudan also came out with a horse, and when he saw this scene, Gao Ming immediately frowned.
"You're alone?"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Goudan immediately smiled and nodded.
"Weichen can't let go of Jinzhou, so he plans to come back after congratulating His Royal Highness the King of Jin, it is inconvenient to bring his family, and it is more convenient for Weichen to ride a horse alone."
Seeing that he said so, Gao Ming had no choice but to nod.
"Well, then let it be, since you're ready, then let's go!"
"Yes!"
With Gao Ming's order, everyone set off.
When the carriage came to the city gate, Gao Ming suddenly heard a loud singing voice from outside the carriage, and the sound was so loud that it seemed that there were thousands of people singing in chorus.
"The majestic mountains of Jinju, the surging Yellow River and the Yangtze River, the mountains and rivers are long, the friendship is deep, and the kindness of the prince will never be forgotten......"
Hearing the singing outside, Gao Ming immediately opened the curtain of the carriage, and after seeing the scene outside, his eyes immediately widened.
"It's ......"
I don't know how the news leaked, but at this time, the two sides of the gate of Jinju were full of people, leaving only a road that was only large enough for a carriage to pass through to the outside of the city.
There were a lot of people, a rough estimate of no less than a thousand, and there were people coming from behind, although there were many people coming, but they did not block the passage of the carriage, the carriage slowly moved forward, and soon out of the gate of Jinju City.
After leaving Jinju City, Gao Ming found that the people did not leave, but followed the carriage all the way out of Jinju City, and about a tea time later, Gao Ming seemed to hear the faint singing from the direction of Jinju City.
At this moment, Gao Ming suddenly felt that his eyes were a little moist.
"The grace of dripping water is reciprocated, this is the people of my Tang Dynasty!"
Thinking of this, Gao Ming felt that he would have to work harder in the future, for himself and for the kind people of Datang.
"If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are rich, you will help the world, and the greater your ability, you will have great responsibility, it seems that this is really true, I didn't expect that I would also want to be a saint one day."
Gao Ming didn't know that on the day he left, there was a statue being carved at the door of the Tang Royal Academy, and the first sentence engraved on the statue was written like this-
"Ten years of trees and a hundred years of people, the wisdom of the youth is the wisdom of the country, the wealth of the youth is the wealth of the country, and the strength of the youth is the strength of the country."
By the time the statue was carved, Gao Ming had already returned to Chang'an.
After returning to Chang'an, Gao Ming asked Huzi to take Xiaohua home, and he returned to the palace with Li Goudan.
After Gao Ming returned to the palace, he first went to say hello to Li Shimin, and then went to the Jin Palace.
Li Zhi was still very happy about Gao Ming's arrival, and immediately let Zai prepare a banquet, and at this time Gao Ming was also hungry, so naturally he would not be polite to Li Zhi, so he sat down and started eating.
After a glass of wine, Gao Ming asked Li Zhi.
"Pheasant slave, has the sixth child been here?"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Zhi immediately frowned.
"Didn't the sixth brother go to Jinju with the eldest brother? Hasn't he come back yet? ”
As soon as Li Zhi's words fell, Gao Ming also frowned.
"Didn't come back?"
It's strange now, after all, it has been more than ten days since Li Su left Jinzhou, but Li Su didn't come back to Chang'an.
"I'm afraid this kid is crazy, right?"
Seeing that Gao Ming's face was not good-looking, Li Zhi didn't dare to ask more, but poured wine for Gao Ming diligently, and Gao Ming didn't explain to Li Zhi, after eating, he rode a horse with Huzi to Nanshan, dozens of miles south of Chang'an.
Gao Ming was here for the second time, and looking at the familiar scene here, he suddenly smiled slightly.
"This is Li Su's favorite place to hunt, Li Su this guy will enjoy it, I don't know if he caught any game today, if there is, then I will have a good mouth today, Huzi, go!"
"Yes!"
Gao Ming greeted Huzi, and the two of them went towards Li Su's courtyard in Nanshan.
After a stick of incense, Gao Ming and Huzi came to Li Su's courtyard in Nanshan, but what made Gao Ming feel strange was that the entire courtyard was empty!
Seeing this scene, Gao Ming's brows immediately furrowed.
"It's not here, where did this kid go up?"
