Gao Ming went back to the palace after handing over the money to Wei Shuyu, but what Gao Ming didn't expect was that as soon as he left on his front foot, Wei Shuyu went back to write a "thank you letter".

In fact, according to Gao Ming's original intention, he was reluctant to publicize this matter everywhere, but Wei Shuyu and his son Wei Zheng had the same temperament, and they didn't even cover up the fact that Gao Ming sent bean sprouts before, not to mention that this time it was a thousand taels of silver?

So Wei Shuyu reported it truthfully, and he wrote a seal and presented it to Li Shimin when he went to court the next day, thanking the palace for its vastness, and especially thanking the prince for his generosity and kindness.

Perhaps in Wei Shuyu's view, he did this above board, and at the same time told everyone that the prince values love and righteousness, but this result is not entirely good for Gao Ming.

Although everyone also understands that Gao Ming and Wei Zheng have the status of teachers and students, Wei Zheng is dead, and there is nothing wrong with the prince, who is a student, sending a sum of money to his family to condole, but the problem is that there is too much money, at least on the surface.

At best, this is already a passover.

During the Zhenguan period, silver had not depreciated, and basically one or two taels of silver could still be exchanged for consistent copper coins, while the highest rank of the Tang Dynasty's first-grade official was 6,200 Wen, that is, six .2 yuan.

In other words, the money that Gao Ming gave to Wei Shuyu, even if the most senior official of the Tang Dynasty did not eat or drink, it would take thirteen and a half years to save money.

Therefore, the officials quit.

Wei Shuyu had just been put on the table, and the officials impeached Gao Ming for extravagance and extravagance, and demanded that Li Shimin punish him.

Under the conclusive evidence, in the face of the menacing officials, Li Shimin could only announce that Gao Ming would be fined for three months, and ordered to reduce the use of the East Palace by half.

When Gao Ming received the holy decree, he was immediately stunned.

"What? Not only do you want to deduct Lao Tzu's money, but also reduce the use of the East Palace, why? ”

In fact, if it was just a simple deduction of money, Gao Ming would not be so angry, but the reduction of the use of the East Palace made Gao Ming a little unacceptable.

For more than a month, Gao Ming has been accustomed to the kind of days when he is not bad for money, he can let people go to the Shang Food Bureau to get whatever he wants, and let people go to the Shang Medicine Bureau to get whatever tonic he wants.

But now someone has come to tell him that this kind of good life will be gone in the future, how can Gao Ming accept it?

Gao Ming was very angry, but he didn't plan to trouble those officials, because he knew very well that the mastermind of this matter was not those officials, but Li Shimin!

Li Shimin's intentions can probably be guessed by Gao Ming, it is nothing more than that after Wei Zheng died, he, the emperor, didn't send so much money, why did Gao Ming, the prince, send so much?

In order to prevent such a thing from happening again, Li Shimin pinched Gao Ming's "economic lifeline", punished him, and when he relented, he would find a way to restore the ration of the East Palace.

But will Gao Ming be soft?

The answer is no.

Gao Ming is not the kind of pedantic person, he will naturally bow his head when it is time to bow his head, but the premise is that there are enough interests.

For example, the last time he "pleaded guilty" to Yu Zhining and Kong Yingda, although he bowed his head, he not only solved the trouble, but also won a good reputation, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

But this time it won't work, if he bows his head for some money, not only will he not be able to completely solve this trouble, but he will also reduce the impression points he has earned so hard in Li Shimin's heart, which can be said to do more harm than good.

Gao Ming knew that the main problem in this incident was Li Shimin, and since he couldn't bow his head, he could only find a way to make Li Shimin bow his head first.

After thinking about this, Gao Ming immediately made a decision.

"It seems that we can only find a way from fame!"

Li Shimin loves fame the most, because his throne is not right, so he needs a good reputation to prove that he is a good emperor, and Gao Ming intends to start from this aspect.

Soon, Gao Ming thought of a solution, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Aren't you trying to deduct my money, cut me down, and make me bow my head? I don't want to do it, and instead of bowing my head, I'm going to act like I'm having fun and make you embarrassed to treat me badly! ”

Gao Ming laughed as he called Su Wan'er to the study, and then waved his hand.

"Wan'er, hurry up and prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, Lang Jun, I'm going to make an article!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Su Wan'er was overjoyed.

"Ah, does Lang Jun have any good articles? The concubine's body is grinding ink! ”

As she spoke, she began to grind the ink with joy.

Su Wan'er was really happy, in her opinion, it was a very happy thing to have a talented Lang Jun, so at this time, she couldn't help but laugh while grinding ink.

"Since the last time Lang Jun wrote "Ai Lian Said", it has been a long time since he wrote a new article, what kind of article does Lang Jun plan to write this time?"

Looking at her happy appearance, the corners of Gao Ming's mouth also smiled.

"This article is called 'The Burrow'!"

"The Burrow" is the work of Liu Yuxi in the Tang Dynasty, but now there are more than 100 years before he was born, so this classic work was taken away by Gao Ming with a shy face.

Seeing that Su Wan'er had already made the preparations, Gao Ming took two steps behind his back in the study, then cleared his throat and began to read.

"The mountain is not high, but the name of the immortal. The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. Si is a burrow, but Wu Dexin. ”

As soon as this beginning came out, Su Wan'er's eyes suddenly lit up.

Look at how well this article is done, it can be said that every word is fine, and there is an indescribable style between the lines, it is simply amazing!

Su Wan'er didn't know that this was actually what later generations called "high force".

Gao Ming was reading next to her, Su Wan'er immediately wrote hard and wrote down every word of this article, and Gao Ming saw that she had finished writing, so she continued to read the next sentence.

"The moss is green, and the grass is green. There is a lot of talk and laughter, and there is no white ding. You can tune the piano and read the Golden Sutra. There is no silk and bamboo, and there is no case. ”

Hearing this, Su Wan'er began to reminisce while remembering, she seemed to see a celebrity and a free and easy appearance, and when this celebrity turned around, his appearance began to slowly coincide with Gao Ming's appearance, and finally became a person.

Su Wan'er suddenly couldn't help but show her face full of admiration towards Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... Lang Jun ......"

Seeing Su Wan'er looking at herself with admiration, Gao Ming immediately raised her eyebrows at her, gave her a "evil and crazy" smile, and then read out the last sentence of "Burrow".

"Nanyang Zhuge Lu, Xishu Ziyun Pavilion. Confucius: What's ugly? ”

At this moment, Su Wan'er's eyes suddenly became a little confused.
