Chapter 300 Chapter 42 On the eve of the expedition
After coming to Huaqing Palace, Gao Ming began his happy life without shame and impatience.
Gao Ming felt that in terms of the degree of play, he could play more than the historical Tang Ming Emperor Li Longji, after all, Li Longji only took Yang Guifei to Huaqing Palace to play alone, and he brought four ......
"Perhaps, in later generations, the first thing that everyone thinks of when they mention Huaqingchi is not Emperor Tang Ming, but me, hahahaha......"
Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately laughed happily.
Seeing him laughing, Wu Mei, who was helping him pinch his shoulders in the back, suddenly laughed too.
"Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly laughing? Didn't you think of something happy? β
Hearing Wu Mei's words, Gao Ming immediately smiled and nodded.
"yes, I'm thinking about Li Longji."
"Who is Li Longji?"
Looking at Wu Mei's curious look, Gao Ming suddenly showed a wicked smile.
"Your grandson."
Hearing Gao Ming's answer, and looking at him with a wicked smile, Wu Mei thought that he was teasing and teasing herself, and immediately gave him an angry look.
"Nasty!"
"Hey......
Wu Mei didn't know, in fact, Gao Ming was telling the truth.
Li Dan is the son of Li Zhi and Wu Mei, and Li Longji is the son of Li Dan, so Li Longji is indeed Wu Mei's grandson, but now that Gao Ming is so stirred, Li Dan and Li Longji will definitely have no chance to be born.
Thinking of this, Gao Ming suddenly smacked his mouth in embarrassment, and then turned his head to look at Wu Mei.
"Mei Niang, how about you say that in the future, our son will be named Li Dan, and our grandson will be named Li Longji?"
ββ¦β¦β
Now Wu Mei is still thin-skinned, and when she heard that Gao Ming had even chosen the names of her son and grandson, she was both happy and shy in her heart, and she was a little helpless for a while.
"This ...... Your Royal Highness the Prince, I ...... Woo ......"
Before she finished speaking, she covered her face and ran away, seeing this scene, Gao Ming suddenly blinked with some confusion.
"Well, how did you run? This woman is a strange ......."
Just as Gao Ming was muttering, he suddenly heard a shout not far away.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince......"
Hearing this shout, Gao Ming suddenly looked back and saw a familiar figure running towards him.
"Liu Bing?"
At this time, it was none other than Liu Bing, who trotted in front of Gao Ming, and then bowed and saluted.
"Huhu...... His Royal Highness the Prince, the old slave can be regarded as seeing you, the old slave...... Whew......"
Seeing that he was out of breath, Gao Ming suddenly shook his head helplessly.
"Don't worry, speak slowly, is your baby lost again?"
ββ¦β¦β
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Liu Bing immediately showed a smile on his face.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't make fun of the old slave, the old slave only has one treasure, and he has long lost it, where is the treasure to lose now?"
Speaking of this, Liu Bing seemed to think of something, he immediately took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, and then smiled at Gao Ming.
"Speaking of treasures, for the old slave, this royal jade dew is the treasure of the old slave, thank you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the reward!"
After speaking, he saluted Gao Ming again.
Looking at Liu Bing's style, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing.
"Haha, Lao Liu, your sycophant skills are really getting more and more exquisite, okay, just rely on the sycophants you shot, I'll give you a piece of royal jade dew when I go back, you have to keep it, don't lose the baby again, hahahaha......"
Hearing Gao Ming promise to give him a bottle of perfume, Liu Bing was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted Gao Ming again.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince!"
Seeing that Liu Bing saluted himself three times in such a short period of time, Gao Ming suddenly waved his hand at him with some tears and laughter.
"Okay, although it's not strange to say that many people are polite, but you're too tired like this, I'm not so hypocritical, don't do this next time, let's say, what is the matter with you coming to me this time?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the old slave is invited to return to the palace by the order of the Holy Lord."
Speaking of this, Liu Bing's face also became serious.
"Lu Guogong, British Duke and E Guogong have already gathered their soldiers and horses, and they will go on the expedition tomorrow."
Hearing Liu Bing's words, Gao Ming finally knew why Li Shimin asked him to call him back.
Since Li Jing defeated Tuyuhun in the ninth year of Zhenguan, there has been no large-scale war in the Tang Dynasty for eight years, and even the local conflict between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo two years ago has been eliminated with the entry of Princess Wencheng into Tibet.
This time, the Tang Dynasty gathered more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, which was the largest military operation since the Tang Dynasty exterminated the Turks, and because of this, Li Shimin attached great importance to it.
Gao Ming is not only the crown prince, but also the newly appointed general Tiance, the head of the military attachΓ©s, so he must come forward in such a situation, not to mention that he personally contributed to this military operation.
"Okay, I'll go back!"
As he spoke, Gao Ming stood up, and then beckoned to Huzi not far behind him.
"Huzi, let's go, let's go back to the palace!"
"Yes!"
When Gao Ming took Huzi and Liu Bing to the front yard of Huaqing Palace, she happened to meet Su Wan'er, and seeing Gao Ming's hurried appearance, she hurriedly asked.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, are you planning to return to the palace? The concubine will accompany you back. β
Hearing Su Wan'er's words, Gao Ming immediately shook his head with a smile.
"No need, I'll go back for two days at most, you can live in Huaqing Palace with peace of mind, I'll come back when the matter is done, remember to take care of the little son."
Speaking of this, Gao Ming patted her shoulder lightly again, and then took Liu Bing and Huzi out of Huaqing Palace and returned to Chang'an.
After returning to the palace, Gao Ming came to Li Shimin's imperial study as soon as possible, and when he saw him back, Li Shimin immediately laughed.
"Gao Ming is back? You should know why I let you come back, right? β
"Yes, I know!"
Seeing Gao Ming nodding, Li Shi immediately put down the brush in his hand, then got up and left his seat, and walked in front of Gao Ming with his hands on his back.
"Gao Ming, since I ascended the throne, my Tang Dynasty can be said to have been unfavorable, either drought or locust plague, flood or snow disaster, the people are hungry, I hope this time the army can change all this."
When he said this, Li Shimin suddenly showed a helpless face.
Because of his disgraceful way of ascending to the throne, every time he encountered a natural disaster, the minister blamed him, saying that he was cruel, and asked him to write an edict for his own crimes.
Looking at Li Shimin's bitter gourd face, Gao Ming immediately laughed.
"You can rest assured, Liuqiu and Luzon Island can indeed be called granaries, and when we take them, even if there is a three-year drought in Datang in the future, we will have enough food to deal with!"
"I hope so!"
Li Shimin accepted Gao Ming's relief, and he immediately smiled and patted Gao Ming's shoulder.
"Okay, you go back and rest first, I'm afraid that the officials won't give up when they are in the morning tomorrow, and it's up to you then!"
"Hehe, you'll see!"
As he spoke, Gao Ming immediately grinned, revealing two rows of Bai Sensen's teeth.
"I will let them know what it means to convince people with virtue."
