Chapter 615: Stained Light
Although Gao Ming is sometimes impulsive, this does not mean that he is stupid.
He knew that he had offended Li Shimin this time, and if he didn't run away, he would be in big trouble.
So before Li Shimin returned to the palace, he had already left the palace, and then disguised himself and hid at the south gate of Chang'an.
When he saw Li Shimin, Li Ji and others enter Chang'an, he found a carriage, bypassed Jingzhao Mansion and returned to Luoyang.
And Li Shimin didn't expect Gao Ming to play "dark under the lamp" and "hide and seek" with him, and after he couldn't find the other party, he went back to his bedroom with a stinky face.
In fact, Li Shimin still likes Gao Ming very much, because he knows that Gao Ming can do something like this time, but he can't do it.
Li Shimin asked himself, if Li Yuan's imperial army was defeated and killed, then the first thing he considered would definitely not be to avenge Li Yuan, but to ascend the throne and become emperor first.
However, after Gao Ming received the news of his "death", he chose to avenge him without hesitation, and even did not hesitate to hand over the power to other princes, and then personally led the army to start the westward expedition.
Although in Li Shimin's view, as a crown prince, Gao Ming's behavior is obviously unqualified, but as a son, Gao Ming's courage and sincerity made him extremely moved.
Originally, Li Shimin was most worried that his sons would follow his old path and kill each other for the throne, but now Gao Ming has proved himself with his actions, which also makes Li Shimin very pleased.
And the most important thing is that Gao Mingwen was able to stabilize the court and issued the so-called "treasury bills", so that the treasury was quickly filled without additional endowment; Wu Neng led his troops to the battle, first destroying Goryeo, and then destroying the 36 countries of the Western Regions.
It can be said that all kinds of cultural and martial arts are in practice
All of this was seen by Li Shimin, if it weren't for Gao Ming who gave him a "chicken and dragon claw hand" as soon as they met, he would have even considered the Zen position.
But now he has changed his mind.
"Hmph, this stinky boy, let him stay up for a few more years"
As soon as he thought of this, Li Shimin suddenly realized that according to Gao Ming's lazy temper, he would definitely be happier if he was not allowed to be the emperor.
After realizing this, he suddenly became even more helpless.
"This stinky boy, when did he become like this, and there are more and more ghost ideas in his head."
As he spoke, Li Shimin unconsciously took out a treasury bill from his arms, looked at the portrait of Gao Ming riding a horse and wielding a knife on it, and a trace of envy flashed in his eyes.
"If I can make my portrait like this, then even if I can't live for generations, I can be regarded as a great emperor who has never been seen before or since."
Thinking of this, a trace of firmness suddenly flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.
On the morning of the next day, Li Shimin issued an order asking the Ministry of Military Industry to make another batch of treasury bills with a face value of 10 yuan on the basis of his portrait.
The ministers of the DPRK and China are basically clear and able to understand the intention of Li Shimin's will, so no one objected, but everyone also knew very well that the treasury bills that Li Shimin wanted to issue would certainly not go smoothly.
The reason is also very simple, because according to the price of prices in Datang today, the treasury bills issued by Gao Ming with a consistent face value are already considered large-value bills.
In today's Datang, the price of a bucket of rice is only five yuan, which is equivalent to 2,000 yuan in later generations
Treasury bills of such a large denomination were used only by merchants for bulk transactions, except for some common people who used them to buy and sell large livestock.
This is also thanks to the harshness of Datang's laws, as soon as the decree of the nine clans was issued, no one dared to falsify, otherwise the market would have been chaotic.
This is still the case with treasury bills that have always been money, not to mention ten yuan of money, so Li Shimin's plan to go down in history is doomed to fail.
Almost all of the courtiers knew this, but no one was stupid enough to stand up and point it out, after all, it was none of their business, and it couldn't violate their interests, so there was no need to touch Li Shimin's mold.
In this way, with Li Shimin's order, the courtiers passed it by default, and then the Ministry of Military Industry of the Tang Dynasty made a batch of treasury bills again and handed them over to the Ministry of Household Management for issuance.
Compared with the previous two editions of the Treasury Bills printed with Gao Ming's portrait, the third edition of the Treasury Bills printed with Li Shimin's portrait is much stronger in terms of craftsmanship and quality.
Unfortunately, however, the common people and merchants did not buy it, let alone exchange it for real money or copper coins, even if the officials of the household department made it clear that they could exchange the first and second versions of the treasury bills, no one was willing to do so.
There are even several old peasants who don't know a single big word, and after seeing the third version of the treasury bill printed with Li Shimin's portrait, they jumped out directly?
