Chapter 606: The government and the opposition are shaken
For Li Shimin, this is a rare opportunity to probe the truth.
First of all, the DPRK and China do not know the situation of the Western Turks, and in the impression of many people, the Turks are the synonym for the strength of the army and the strength of the horses, which is very difficult to deal with.
Secondly, this time Ashina Helu also rebelled, which sounds like a serious situation, and it is easy to think of bad aspects.
Under such circumstances, Li Shimin lied that he was defeated and killed, and it was easy to win the trust of others.
In fact, he did it, and when the news reached Chang'an City, the government and the opposition were immediately shaken!
When they heard the news, nearly one-third of the ministers of the court fell to the ground and fainted.
Of course, it's hard to say how many people are really dizzy and how many are fake dizzy.
If it was in the past, Gao Ming saw that so many people fainted, he must have to test it, and he couldn't let the guy pretend to be faint and leave early, right?
But at this time, he didn't have this mind at all.
Because, his heart is upset!
The news of Li Shimin's defeat and killing was like a sledgehammer hitting Gao Ming's heart, making him a little out of breath all of a sudden.
"How is that possible? How could an old man die? He's gone with my steam tank, and he's got so many cannons and crossbows, there's no way he's going to fail! ”
Gao Ming kept telling himself that it was impossible, but reason told him that it was impossible for the herald to joke about this kind of head-off, so he felt his heart slowly sink.
As the saying goes, people's hearts are flesh and blood, although Gao Ming is a traverser, Li Shimin is not his own father, but after getting along in the past few years, even if it is a small animal, it will cultivate feelings, let alone a person?
And to put it in conscience, Gao Ming felt that Li Shimin's kindness to him had basically surpassed all his brothers and sisters, even if it was Li Tai, the fourth prince at the beginning, he couldn't catch up with him!
Gao Ming is not a person without conscience, Li Shimin's kindness to him, Gao Ming also remembers it in his heart, so he also tried his best to repay Li Shimin in his own way.
But now, someone told him that Li Shimin was dead? And also died because of the expedition to the Western Turks?
The son wants to raise but doesn't wait, and Gao Ming Xin at this time probably feels like this.
At this moment, Gao Ming felt special regret and self-blame.
"There is no battle in history for Li Shimin to conquer the Western Turks and Ashina Helu, this is all prompted by me, if it weren't for my nonsense, the old man would not have gotten and would not have died, this is all ......caused by me."
Thinking of this, Gao Ming's eyes suddenly turned red.
"I have to be responsible for this, and I must be responsible for it!"
After making a decision, Gao Ming did not privately ask the important ministers to go to the East Palace to discuss, but directly opened his mouth in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
"Pass on my orders, first, immediately notify Hou Junji, and limit him to return to Beijing with his 200,000 soldiers and horses within 30 days, and second, immediately notify Ashinadur and let him requisition 200,000 soldiers and horses in the Wa Kingdom to return to Beijing within 30 days!"
Hearing these two orders, there was an uproar, and several Wenchen immediately jumped out.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't ......"
But before they could finish speaking, Gao Ming yelled at them viciously.
"Shut up, get the hell out of here!"
Seeing Gao Ming's red eyes and angry appearance, several civil officials were suddenly startled, and the words that came to their lips did not come out again.
"Humph!" Seeing that they didn't speak again, Gao Ming immediately snorted coldly, and then continued to open his mouth to order.
"Third, immediately send someone to the peninsula to inform Li Ji and Jin Shengman, let the two of them cooperate, collect 200,000 troops and 500,000 people on the peninsula, and bring them back to Beijing within 30 days, and fourth, immediately send someone to summon Li Tai and Li Ke back to Beijing to supervise the country!"
After saying these four points, Gao Ming stood up, and then grinned in the shocked eyes of the ministers.
"The last order, I ordered in the name of the Tang Tiance General, Tiance Mansion to regather the generals, up to the hussar generals, down to the captain of the accompanying Rong, all the military attaches immediately to the Luoyang Tiance Mansion to register, and when Li Tai and Li Ke return to Beijing, it is the time when the lone general will go out to fight! Well, retreat! ”
After speaking, without waiting for the courtiers to react, Gao Ming turned around and immediately went to the court, and after he left, the entire court suddenly became in an uproar!
"What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean by this? Could it be ......?"
"It should be right, alas, after His Highness learned the news of His Majesty's death, he was furious, and he inevitably lost his proportion!"
"Yes, yes, we should persuade each other, for the sake of today's plan, I will be elected to sacrifice to the heavens and ascend the throne one day, and the country will not be left without an owner for a day!"
"What Lord Liu said is extremely ......"
Listening to everyone's discussions, the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling and several other important ministers frowned, and after they glanced at each other, they left the court together and walked in the direction of the East Palace.
When the eldest grandson Wuji and the others went to the East Palace, Gao Ming was teasing his daughter in Su Wan'er's house.
"Bao'er, Dad really wants to accompany you every day and watch you grow up, but I'm afraid it won't work now, because Dad is the prince of the Tang Dynasty and can't live only for himself, but don't worry, Dad will accompany you every day for the next few days......"
Listening to Gao Ming's words as if he had confessed his last words, Su Wan'er next to her was already crying with tears streaming down her face, and she couldn't cry.
"Your Highness...... Lang Jun, woo woo woo ......"
Looking at Su Wan'er, who was crying sadly, Gao Ming suddenly sighed helplessly, hugged his daughter and came to Su Wan'er's side, and then gently hugged her.
"Wan'er, don't cry, I'll just talk about it casually, count me wrong, good, don't cry!"
It's okay if Gao Ming doesn't say it, but after saying this, Su Wan'er suddenly cried even more sadly.
"Woo woo woo...... Your Royal Highness don't lie to the concubine, the concubine knows everything, His Royal Highness gave an order in the main hall and summoned the generals from all over the world to return to the court, presumably planning to avenge his father, but ...... But ......"
Looking at Su Wan'er who was spitting and spitting, Lord Gao Ming understood what she meant, and immediately sighed.
"Alas, since you know everything, then you should also understand my heart, I don't understand why a small Western Turk can make the old man capsize in the gutter, but this revenge, I must revenge, if I don't build a few Jingguan in the Western Regions, what face will I have in the future?"
Kyokan is a high mound built by military commanders who piled up the corpses of their enemies in order to show off their strength and exploits, and then sealed the earth.
Gao Ming's meaning, to put it bluntly, is ready to kill!
As a modern person who has traveled through the Tang Dynasty, Gao Ming's heart was originally full of awe of life, but his identity forced him to move farther and farther away from this principle.
Now, a tipping point has finally been reached!
The news of Li Shimin's death made Gao Ming make up his mind, abandon his senseless kindness, and pick up the butcher's knife in the face of foreigners.
"Those who are not of my race will have different hearts, so they should be killed!"
