Jinju is located three hundred miles northeast of Gyeongzhao Province, so in order to complete the task as soon as possible, Sugan Seungji set off with his people overnight.

The movement of dozens of people riding horses was naturally not small, so the news quickly reached Li Shimin's ears.

"Your Majesty, Zhaowu Captain Su Gan Chengji went out from the north gate overnight with more than sixty horses."

Hearing this report, Li Shimin suddenly frowned.

"Whose subordinate is this Su Gan Chengji?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's the Prince's person."

After knowing that these horses were sent out by Gao Ming, Li Shimin waved his hand.

"Okay, I know, stand down!"

"Yes!"

Li Shimin knew that Gao Ming had his own plans, so he didn't want to interfere with him too much, and after waving back the comer, Li Shimin continued to bury his head in government affairs.

And Gao Ming naturally knew that this matter could not be concealed from Li Shimin, but he didn't plan to run to report to Li Shimin now, he was going to wait until the results of the investigation of Su Gan Chengji came out, and then go to Li Shimin, after all, Zhou Zheng's matter was his own next, so he naturally had to have a beginning and an end.

The next morning, Gao Ming went to the court, although Li Shimin did not ask him to go to the court, but Gao Ming knew that if he didn't show up for too long, maybe any clown would dare to jump on his head.

In fact, Gao Ming really thought too much, after the last time Liu Bing killed Sun Yanguan with a cane outside the main hall, the atmosphere in the court was depressed a lot, and even the Yanguan who had always danced the most didn't come out to impeach people, for fear that he would accidentally anger Li Shimin and end up with a broken reputation like Sun Yanguan.

After going to the court, Gao Ming stood next to Cheng Yanjin boredly, listening to the ministers report to Li Shimin on the affairs of their departments, and after Li Shimin made a ruling, the great eunuch Liu Bing announced his retirement from the dynasty.

It can be said that this is an uneventful early dynasty.

After getting off the court, Gao Ming was about to leave, but he was suddenly stopped by Cheng Yanjin, and in Gao Ming's puzzled eyes, Cheng Yanjin suddenly gently bowed in one direction.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be careful."

After speaking, Cheng Yanjin left, leaving Gao Ming alone to stand there and think.

This is the case in officialdom, even if it is a kind reminder, it will not be reminded too explicitly, and the main thing is that the person being reminded has to understand it himself.

Gao Ming also understood this, so he frowned and began to ponder.

"Last time, Cheng Yanjin also reminded me to be careful of Hou Junji, who did he ask me to be careful of this time?"

Gao Ming thought for a while, he and Cheng Yanjin were both standing in the direction of the military attaché, and the direction of Cheng biting Jinnu's mouth should be the position occupied by the civil official, he thought about it carefully, and found that the position just now should be the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Could it be that he asked me to guard against the eldest grandson Wuji?"

This idea was vetoed by Gao Ming as soon as it came out, because last time Changsun Wuji had already said in person that he and Gao Ming were not enemies, in fact, Gao Ming and Changsun Wuji's interests were the same, so naturally there was no reason to be enemies.

And recently, in order to prevent Li Shimin from being suspicious of himself, the eldest grandson Wuji ran to the Forbidden Garden when he had nothing to do, either to discuss state affairs with Li Shimin, or to visit the garden together to talk about his heart, so as to gain more trust from Li Shimin.

To put it bluntly, the eldest grandson Wuji can't even be busy with his own affairs, how can he have the heart to calculate wisely?

Therefore, Gao Ming felt that the person who made Cheng Yanjin happy and careful should not be the eldest grandson Wuji.

"It's not the eldest grandson Wuji, so who will it be?"

Just as Gao Ming was thinking hard, the image of a person suddenly appeared in Gao Ming's mind.

"Could it be him?"

Gao Ming remembered that from the first day he went to court, no matter how big or small, the officials of the DPRK and China basically saluted and greeted him, but there was only one fat man, who not only did not greet him, but also often looked at him with a disdainful gaze.

At the beginning, this kind of gaze was often seen, so he didn't feel strange, who made his predecessor Li Chengqian an uncompetitive guy, but as time slowly passed, it was difficult for the court to see that kind of disdainful look, so Gao Ming suddenly remembered this person.

"Who the hell is this guy?"

Standing in the group of civil officials, he will definitely not be a military attaché, and he will also stand next to the eldest grandson Wuji, his status must not be low, but there don't seem to be many fat civil officials with a high status in the Tang Dynasty, could it be the son of the eldest grandson Wuji?

Thinking of this, the more Gao Ming thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.

"The eldest grandson Wuji is a fat man, so according to genetics, half of the probability of his son is fat, last time I offended the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson Wuji doesn't plan to care, but his son is not necessarily, but which son is this fat man?"

Changsun Wuji's eldest son, Changsun Chong Gaoming, has seen it, but in addition to him, Changsun Wuji also has several sons, such as Changsun Lian, Changsun Jun, Changsun Yan, etc., so for a while, Gao Ming couldn't figure out who this fat man was.

But Gao Ming's temperament is very simple, and he simply doesn't want to think about things he can't understand.

"Forget it, as long as that fat man doesn't mess with me, for the sake of the face of the eldest grandson and old fox, I won't bother with him, and now I haven't even cleaned up Hou Junji, the anti-bone boy, and I don't have the energy to engage other people."

Thinking of Hou Junji, Gao Ming suddenly had a headache again.

Since Helan Chushi ran away, Gao Ming found that Hou Junji's gaze seemed to be much more vigilant when he looked at him recently, and now when he saw him, he just nodded and said hello, without even saying a word, it seemed that he seemed to be aware of something.

What's more, Hou Junji is not an ordinary person, he is a general who has led soldiers for decades, and has made a lot of contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and is deeply valued by Li Shimin.

It is not easy to get rid of a vigilant person, let alone a person like Hou Junji, Gao Ming knows very well that it is impossible to bring down Hou Junji just by his own words.

So for a while, Gao Ming couldn't think of a good way.

"It seems that we can only take one step at a time."

But to think about it differently, it is not necessarily a bad thing for Hou Junji to be vigilant at this time, because as long as he is vigilant, then he should not make any moths during this time, and what Gao Ming lacks now is time.

"The rice has to be eaten one bite at a time, and things have to be done one by one, wait for Lao Tzu to deal with the affairs of Li You and Zhou Zheng, and then clean up Hou Junji, damn it, so calculated, Lao Tzu doesn't seem to be idle this year."

Thinking of this, Gao Ming suddenly shook his head helplessly, and then sat down and walked back to the East Palace.

When he sat on the chariot, Gao Ming was still muttering to himself.

"I don't know if Li Goudan and they will go well, but with Li Goudan's ghost elf, nothing should happen, right?"

As Gao Ming thought, Li Goudan at this time was not only fine, but also very comfortable, and at the same time admired Gao Ming even more.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince guessed right, this kid Li You is indeed preparing to rebel!"

Li Goudan didn't know that Li You's rebellion was not guessed by Gao Ming, but recorded by history, and Li You is just dying along the trajectory of history now.

After Li You killed Quan Wanji, he was worried that Li Shimin would blame him, and under the urging of his cronies, he had the idea of rebellion.

After deciding to rebel, Li You began to recruit men over the age of fifteen to serve as soldiers in Qizhou, and at the same time appointed his left and right cronies as Shangzhu Guo, Kaifu Yitong Sansi and other official positions, and opened the Qizhou treasury to use as military salaries.

From this moment on, in addition to the lack of fanfare, Li You has already officially rebelled.

However, Li You did not plan to attack Chang'an, because he also knew that he had no ability to snatch the country from Li Shimin, so he was just preparing to cede the land and become the king.

Of course, Li You also knew that Li Shimin would send troops to attack him after the incident, so he ordered people to drive the people into the city as guards, and named his cronies as the king of Tuoxi and the king of Tuodong.

For such a situation, Li Goudan was clearly grateful, but secretly sneered.

"Even a fool like Li You dares to rebel, it's just stupid, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, stupidity is contagious, it seems that I have to feel that the task has been completed, lest he pass on the stupidity to me, and after I complete the task, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will give me a title? If you can make me the county master, I will be satisfied, hahahaha......"

Thinking of this, Li Goudan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

In Li Goudan's opinion, it makes no sense to be a king by Li You's side at all, it is purely death, in comparison, being a county commander under Gao Ming is much more valuable.

Just when Li Goudan fell into a fantasy, he suddenly heard someone calling him outside the door.

"Lord Li, the king asks you to go to the council hall to discuss state affairs!"

Hearing this, Li Goudan immediately pursed his lips, and his heart was full of slander.

"The national affairs of fart are nothing more than eating and drinking, forget it, Lao Tzu will accompany him to play first, anyway, his days are short."

Thinking of this, Li Goudan immediately stood up and went to "discuss big things" with Li You.

When Li Goudan arrived, he saw that Li You's concubine was putting a glass of wine into his mouth, and at the same time, his cronie Yan Hongliang was still there to make nonsense.

"Don't worry about the king, when the officers and soldiers of the court come, we will drink wine with our right hand, and slash with a knife for the king with our left hand."

Li You was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately laughed.

"Haha, Yan Aiqing is really a warrior, come here, give wine!"

"King Xie!"

Seeing this scene, Li Goudan became more and more disdainful in his heart, but a very happy smile appeared on his face, and he bowed his hand towards Li You.

"The king, the end will be late, and I hope the king will forgive your sins!"

As soon as Li You saw Li Goudan, he immediately smiled even more happily.

"Hahahaha, it turns out that the king of Tuobei is here, come and give wine!"

"King Xie!"

Seeing Li Goudan raise the cup and drink it all, Li You immediately smiled and hugged his shoulder.

"Li Zhong, when we have repelled the army of the imperial court, then we will let you follow this king to hunt the entire Qizhou, and this king shoots arrows in front, you just have to follow this king to pick up prey!"

Li Zhong is the pseudonym used by Li Goudan here in Li You, so as soon as Li You's voice fell, Li Goudan immediately sent it another sycophant.

"The king is mighty, I, Li Zhong, must be the king's liver and brain, and I will never give up!"

"Hahaha......"

Li You's "national affairs" ended in this way while eating and drinking, and Li You, who was in a good mood, was naturally drunk, and as for the other "ministers" and "generals", they were naturally not much better, and the only one who was sober was Li Goudan alone.

At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, when Li You and his cronies were sleeping soundly, Li Goudan's residence sounded a few fluttering of wings, and in the night, several pigeons flew out of the Qi Palace's mansion and flew into the distance.

Li Goudan is ready to do it.
