Chapter 80: Li Shimin's Doubts
Although Zhang Sizheng is unwilling to offend Li Goudan easily, this is only when Li Goudan does not take the initiative to provoke him, once Li Goudan "crosses the line", Zhang Sizheng will not get used to him.
For Zhang Sizheng, the title of "Ah Zheng" can only be called by people who are recognized by him, and the premise of this recognition is that the status must be at least equal to him, or even higher than him, but what is Li Goudan's identity?
Civilian!
In Zhang Sizheng's heart, he is also a dignified lieutenant of Zhenwei from the sixth grade, and he is a military attache of the imperial court, how can he let Li Goudan, a civilian, climb on his head?
It's light to beat him!
And Li Goudan was frightened by the future depicted by Gao Ming, and his heart was full of reverence and fantasy for the future, so he forgot his current identity for a while, and provoked Zhang Sizheng in the wrong way at the wrong time and in the wrong place.
So he was beaten.
Fortunately, he begged for mercy in time when he saw that the situation was not good, so he only received a few slaps and did not hurt his muscles and bones, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
However, Li Goudan didn't realize his mistake, but held his breath.
"Okay, you Zhang Sizheng, you're pretty good now? Wait for Lao Tzu to become the uncle of the country in the future, see if Lao Tzu will not send you to guard the gate outside Chang'an City! ”
Thinking of Zhang Sizheng begging for himself in the future, Li Goudan's mood was inexplicably better, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Zhang Sizheng was next to him, watching Li Goudan grit his teeth for a while, and then smile again, he immediately frowned, and then muttered in his heart.
"Is this guy sick? Or are you going to secretly stumble on Lao Tzu? At most, it's just going to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to sue me for the black state, hmph, Lao Tzu is not afraid of you! ”
In Zhang Sizheng's opinion, Li Goudan will definitely not be able to do anything, if he fails at that time, he will lead someone to take King Qi out and bring it to Gao Ming, and the credit will be his own.
Taking a step back, even if Li Goudan succeeds, it is impossible for him to bring the King of Qi back to Chang'an alone, and he still needs his own strength at that time, so that the credit is also equally divided, and Li Goudan cannot ride on his head with this credit.
Thinking of this, Zhang Sizheng immediately sneered in his heart.
"You want to climb on my head, next life!"
And Li Goudan was also sneering in his heart.
"You are arrogant now, and you will still have to call me Uncle Guo obediently in the future!"
On the way back to the barracks, the two glanced at each other, and they both saw a thick disdain in each other's eyes, so they snorted coldly in unison.
"Humph!"
Although Zhang Sizheng and Li Gou did not like each other, they did not dare to be sloppy about the tasks given by Gao Ming, and after returning to the barracks to pack up all the things they needed, while night fell, the two left Chang'an with dozens of knights and ran towards Qizhou.
After Zhang Sizheng and Li Goudan left Chang'an, Li Shimin received the news as soon as possible, and he immediately frowned.
"Dozens of people left Chang'an together, what are Gao Ming going to do?"
Li Shimin couldn't guess the answer, so he could only order the spies to continue to follow, and report back in time if there was any situation.
A few days later, Li Shimin finally received the news of the spies' report, and this time he was a little surprised.
"Stopped in Qizhou? Qizhou seems to be You'er's fiefdom, right? ”
Thinking of this, Li Shimin's brows suddenly furrowed deeper, and he thought for a while before shouting to the waiting eunuchs outside.
"Someone, go and invite the prince to come to the imperial study!"
"Yes!"
The eunuch guarding the door could hear Li Shimin's tone being very anxious, so he didn't dare to delay, and sped up his pace and went to the East Palace to invite Gao Ming.
At this time, Gao Ming had just had lunch and was lying on a deck chair basking in the sun.
In the Tang Dynasty, there were only Hu stools and Hu beds, and there were no chairs, this recliner was made by Gao Ming and asked the people of the Ministry of Engineering to make it, and there was only such a one in the whole palace, which was rare!
At this time, Gao Ming was lying on the chaise longue with a satisfied face, and the sword and the book were waiting on the side, one fed him fruit, and the other helped him beat his legs and massage, so cool that Gao Ming narrowed his eyes.
"That's life!"
Gao Ming felt that he was deeply in love with Datang.
Just as he was drowsy, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps, and after a while, a slightly shrill voice sounded beside him.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty has sent you to the Imperial Study to meet you!"
Hearing this, Gao Ming immediately blinked, and then yawned.
"What?"
Looking at his slightly confused appearance, the eunuch didn't dare to show dissatisfaction, so he had to say it again in Gao Ming's ear, and then Gao Ming nodded.
"I see, you go out and wait outside!"
"Yes!"
After the eunuch went out, Gao Ming glanced at the sword.
"Go, let someone lift my chariot out."
"Yes!"
The sword went to get people ready to take steps, and Su Wan'er smiled at Gao Ming.
"Father is really good to His Royal Highness, in our entire palace, except for Father, only His Royal Highness can sit and walk in the palace."
As soon as Su Wan'er's words fell, Gao Ming immediately raised her eyebrows.
"It's not what I want to sit, as long as you don't let me go to court, don't let me meet, it doesn't matter if I don't want this step!"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Su Wan'er immediately gave him a roll of the eyes.
"Your Highness is talking nonsense again, okay, Bu Yuan is here, Your Highness, you better go quickly, don't let your father wait for a long time!"
"Got it!"
Gao Ming agreed weakly, and then slowly got up from the recliner, and staggered to the chariot, and the lazy appearance made Su Wan'er angry and funny.
After Gao Ming sat down, several eunuchs lifted the chariot up, and then quickened their pace and walked in the direction of the forbidden garden.
After arriving at the door of the imperial study, Gao Ming immediately put away his lazy appearance, and when he heard that he was let in inside, he walked in with his head held high, and then bowed to Li Shimin, who was facing away from him.
"Erchen has seen his father!"
Hearing Gao Ming's voice, Li Shimin did not turn around, but waved his hand at the eunuch next to him.
"Let's all get out!"
"Yes!"
Under Li Shimin's orders, the eunuch immediately went out and closed the door easily.
When the door of the imperial study sounded, Li Shimin turned around, and then spoke to Gao Ming.
"Gao Ming, do you know why I sent you here this time?"
Speaking of this, Li Shimin suddenly found that Gao Ming raised his right hand, so he immediately frowned.
"What are you doing with your right hand raised?"
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming put down his right hand and smiled at Li Shimin.
"Uh...... Actually, I have a question that I have always wanted to ask you, father, why did you turn your back to me when I came in? I remember the same way you were last time, and you were the same when you met with those ministers? Is this a mystery? ”
“……”
Li Shimin's face suddenly darkened.
