Chapter 461: Mount Tai's Sacrifice to the Sky (I)

()

When Gao Ming said that there would be 200,000 "unidentified" pirates attacking the Japanese Kingdom, Li Jing knew what Gao Ming's idea was.

Although Li Jing also felt that this method was a bit dirty, at the same time, he also understood that this way of dealing with it was the best.

After all, the Wa Kingdom has been pretending to be a grandson in front of the Tang Dynasty for more than 20 years, and now he has not obtained any handle from it, so if he directly attacks the Wa State by relying on the words of King Yici alone, many ministers in the court will not agree.

Even if Gao Ming finds a way to get them to agree, it will be a bit of a labor force to send troops when the time comes, so it is better to take advantage of the fact that they are close now, and pick up the grass and rabbits together, so as to save trouble in the future.

Gao Ming thought so, and did so, the night before leaving the peninsula, Gao Ming quietly recruited Hou Junji in, and then assigned him this secret mission.

In fact, Hou Junji also knew that this was a "dirty job", because even if he captured the Wa Kingdom, he would not get half the credit, but if this matter was leaked, then he would definitely become the target of public criticism, and those poor and rotten Confucians in the court would definitely let him peel off his skin.

What's more serious is that when he conquered the Japanese kingdom, it was equivalent to putting his own handle on the master.

At that time, as long as Gao Ming is unhappy, he can use the crime of "unauthorized troop transfer" to get him out of the court completely, or even pull him out and behead him.

However, Hou Junji also knew that this was the only way he could win Gao Ming's trust.

did it, leaving a handle for Gao Ming, but there was a meeting to re-enter the power heart of the Tang Dynasty; If you don't do it, then you will guard the frontier for the rest of your life until you die of old age.

Hou Junji was very keen on power, so he took over this "dirty job" without hesitation, and took 200,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Japanese kingdom pretending to be Haikou.

Li Jing didn't know all this, so he could only ask Gao Ming vaguely.

"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has assumed that there are pirates who will attack the Wa Kingdom, do you know the details of this pirates?"

Hearing Li Jing's slightly meaningful question, Gao Ming laughed again.

"Haha, I don't know about this, but those who can deal with the monkeys of the Japanese Kingdom must be the same monkeys as them, maybe there is a monkey general!"

"General Monkey?"

As soon as Gao Ming's words came out, Li Jing immediately narrowed his eyes and said something in his mouth.

"General Monkey...... Monkey...... General Hou? ”

Speaking of this, Li Jing immediately understood who it was, and he immediately smiled.

"Haha, with that monkey general's temperament, this kind of thing is really suitable for him!"

"I think so, too!"

After saying that, the two looked at each other again, and then laughed together.

Li Jing knows very well that no matter who it is, once he does the "dirty work" of playing Haikou, he will never be able to be on the stage again in this life.

In other words, even if Hou Junji successfully completed the task this time, even if he gained the trust of Gao Ming, he could only get farther and farther away from Datang's power heart.

For Li Jing, this is good news that couldn't be better, so after laughing, he bowed to Gao Minggong.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this kindness has been recorded by the old minister, and the old minister will definitely teach Xue Li wholeheartedly and live up to His Highness's trust!"

Seeing Li Jing's statement, Gao Ming also nodded solemnly at him.

"Wei Guogong, I can also assure you that as long as I live for one day, the people of Hou Junji's lineage will definitely not ride on the head of the Li family."

Hearing Gao Ming's answer, Li Jing's lips moved, but he didn't say anything, just bowed to Gao Ming with a solemn face.

Looking at this scene, Gao Ming hurriedly helped him up, and then nodded at him with a smile.

"Okay, let's not talk about more, I'm afraid the beef I let people cook is also cooked, how about we warm a pot of wine, and then talk while eating?"

"This ......"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, a trace of hesitation suddenly flashed on Li Jing's face, he thought about it, and then arched towards Gao Ming.

"It's okay to drink, but Your Highness, you have to promise the old minister that you can't mention Nezha after drinking, and you can't ask the old minister for a pagoda!"

"Okay, no problem, I promise not to mention Nezha!"

Gao Ming agreed without thinking about it, and then entered the cabin with Li Jingyou and laughing.

After the wine patrol, Gao Ming's face was suddenly covered with a flush, and after putting down the wine glass, he immediately squeezed his eyes towards Li Jing.

"Wei Guogong, I have a question for you, I heard that you accepted a righteous girl before, right?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Jing's eyes immediately widened.

"Huh? Your Royal Highness the Prince, how do you know? ”

Seeing Li Jing's surprised appearance, Gao Ming immediately burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, not only do I know that you have taken in a righteous daughter, but I also know that she is a golden-nosed white-haired mouse, also known as Mrs. Diyong, and now she lives in the bottomless pit, and she is still ...... Still...... I still want to marry Tang Seng, hahahaha! ”

Li Jing: "......"

At this moment, Li Jing can be regarded as having thoroughly comprehended Gao Ming's wine, and after Gao Ming was helped back by Meng Xin, he secretly made up his mind that he would not drink with Gao Ming in the future.

However, it is a pity that things are often not transferred by personal will, for Gao Ming, who is "drunk every day with revolutionary wine", even if Li Jing hides in the house and pretends to sleep, Gao Ming can pull him to discuss with him.

For example, "Is Nezha's father tired or not", or "Why do you want to recognize a mouse spirit as a righteous daughter", or "Why do you have to name a son Jinzha, Muzha, Nezha instead of Li Goudan" and the like, which made Li Jing miserable.

Under such circumstances, Li Jing prayed every day, hoping to return to Chang'an as soon as possible, or if he could encounter any emergencies, he would be able to get rid of Gao Ming, an unobtrusive guy.

Perhaps Li Jing's prayers worked, but when the clever warship entered Yunzhou, it was stopped by several boats.

After the warship was stopped, Gao Ming immediately walked out.

"Who stopped my boat?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, a man in a crimson official robe immediately stepped forward and bowed to him.

"Returning to His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen is the Yunzhou Thorn Shi Zhou Yun, on the order of His Majesty, come to greet His Royal Highness to go to Mount Tai to pray for rain!"

"Pray for rain?"

Hearing Zhou Yun's words, Gao Ming immediately frowned.

"Why pray for rain? And specially came to Mount Tai, is it possible that there will be a drought again? ”

"Yes!"

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Zhou Yun nodded.

"Since the beginning of spring, dozens of prefectures and counties in Hedong Province and Henan Province have experienced drought, and Your Majesty came to Mount Tai to ask for rain, so I asked Weichen to wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here!"

Hearing Zhou Yun's words, Gao Ming immediately pursed his lips.

"People say that it rains a lot during the Qingming Festival, isn't it April yet, a bird in a hurry!"

Although he thought so in his heart, since Li Shimin had sent people to wait here, Gao Ming couldn't go away, so he could only sigh a long time, and then arched towards Li Jing.

"Alas, there's no way, just go, Wei Guogong is embarrassed, I can't go back with you, why don't I go and tell my old man to send you back first?"

Li Jing had long wanted to say goodbye to Gao Ming, and now that he had such a good meeting, he naturally wouldn't let it go, so as soon as Gao Ming's words fell, he immediately waved towards Gao Ming with a serious expression.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is polite, how dare the old minister bother His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to send him off? Since it is Your Majesty's summons, Your Highness should go quickly! ”

However, what Li Jing didn't expect was that as soon as his words fell, Zhou Yun in front of him spoke again.

"Wei Guogong, Your Majesty also said that you should go with you!"

Li Jing: "......"

I'll your grandma's legs!
