Chapter Twenty-Eight: What Happened
Looking at the Gao Ming brothers and sisters who were eating, Xiaohong, who had just finished playing a song, bit her lip tightly, and the expression on her face was a little uncertain.
But she quickly made a decision, only to see her put the pipa in her hand aside, and then walked straight to Gao Ming, and knelt down with a "poof".
"Little girl Zhou Hong, I implore Your Highness to save my father!"
After speaking, the "knock knock" gave Gao Ming three kowtows.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Gao Ming suddenly raised his eyebrows.
"Have we seen each other before?"
As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Zhou Hong immediately shook his head.
"No!"
Hearing her words, Gao Ming suddenly frowned.
"And how did you know my identity?"
Looking at Gao Ming's frowning brows, Zhou Hong hurriedly lowered his head, and then stretched out his hand and pointed at Gao Ming's clothes.
"Back to His Royal Highness, the little girl's father once served as a court official, and the palace once rewarded my family with a brocade, which His Royal Highness wore on his body."
Hearing her explanation, Gao Ming nodded suddenly, but there were still some doubts on his face.
"Since the palace can give this cloud satin to your family, it can naturally be rewarded to others, just by virtue of this, how can you guess my identity?"
This time Zhou Hong didn't speak, but looked up at Li Mingda next to Gao Ming, looking at her movements, Gao Ming suddenly understood.
"Oh, I see, it turned out that my sister said she leaked her mouth just now, but I guess you're not quite sure, so you decided to take a gamble, right?"
As soon as Zhou Hong heard Gao Ming's words, he was immediately frightened and fell to the ground.
"I beg your highness to forgive your sins!"
Looking at her trembling appearance, Gao Ming suddenly smiled and waved his hand.
"I just said, I'm not a bad person, okay, you get up first."
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Zhou Hong hurriedly got up and saluted him.
"Your Highness!"
Watching her movements, Gao Ming nodded again, and then pointed to the stool next to him.
"Didn't you say you wanted me to help your father? Say, what the hell is going on? ”
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Zhou Hong was obviously stunned for a moment.
"Your Highness is willing to help me?"
Looking at her surprised look, Gao Ming shook his head with a smile.
"I'm asking you to talk about it, whether you can help or not is another matter, but since you asked, then I'll give you a reminder, if your father is a corrupt official or a traitor, it's better for you to avoid respect."
As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Zhou Hong immediately shook his head like a rattle.
"No, my father is a good official, it's just that someone framed him!"
Hearing her words, Gao Ming immediately became interested.
"Oh? Then tell me, who framed him? ”
Faced with Gao Ming's question, Zhou Hong at this time suddenly hesitated, and only opened his mouth again after a while.
"When the dynasty is Situ - the eldest grandson Wuji!"
When Gao Ming heard this name, he was stunned for a moment, but in an instant, a playful smile appeared on his face.
"Zhou Hong, do you know who the eldest grandson Wuji is to me?"
Hearing his words, Zhou Hong was stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked at Gao Ming blankly.
Looking at Zhou Hong's blank face, the smile on Gao Ming's face suddenly became even worse.
"The eldest grandson Wuji in your mouth is the brother of my mother's mother, that is, my maternal uncle, do you think I should help you?"
As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Zhou Hong suddenly fell to the ground with a "poof", his eyes were full of despair, and his face was dead.
Looking at her loveless expression, Gao Ming realized that he seemed to have overplayed, and suddenly shrugged his shoulders helplessly.
"Okay, I was just teasing you just now, who made you so smart to see through my identity, now that we're even, let's talk about your father, if he is really a good official, I guarantee that he can be safe."
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Zhou Hong's originally dull eyes suddenly regained a trace of brilliance.
"Your Highness may be true when he says this? Didn't you just say that the eldest grandson Wuji is your own uncle, you ......"
Before she could finish speaking, Gao Ming interrupted her with a wave of his hand.
"It's true that the eldest grandson Wuji is my own uncle, but Datang is not what he says alone, it is related to the foundation of Datang, and I can still tell which is more important, so let's talk about your father!"
Hearing Gao Ming say this, Zhou Hong bit her lip again, and then began to tell Gao Ming the whole thing.
It turned out that Zhou Hong's father Zhou Zheng was the assassin of Jinzhou, and he could be regarded as an upright person, so it stands to reason that such a person should not have any big problems, but as the saying goes, "If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves", and Zhou Zheng was just remembered by the eldest grandson Wuji.
In the Jin Dan case a few days ago, there were a lot of officials involved, and Zhou Zheng was one of them.
The newly appointed Jinzhou Assassin Shi has become a confidant of the eldest grandson Wuji, which is in response to an old saying, called "Si people are not guilty, but they are guilty", from the root cause, it was actually his position that hurt Zhou Zheng.
Although Zhou Hong ran around trying to save the Zhou family, but after all, there was no result, not only was she not able to rescue Zhou Zheng, but she was also trapped in Wanhualou, if it wasn't for the luck of meeting Gao Ming this time, I'm afraid no one can say what will happen to her in the future.
After listening to Zhou Hong's narration, Gao Ming's face suddenly sank.
At this time, Gao Ming has completely entered the role of the prince, and in his subconscious, this Tang Dynasty should be what he says except for Li Shimin, but what the eldest grandson Wuji did is obviously a bit "out of bounds".
For example, in the handling of the Jin Dan case this time, the eldest grandson Wuji took advantage of Li Shimin's anger to clear the obstacles on his political road, and at the same time won Li Shimin's trust, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
No matter in any era, it is not tolerated for relatives to interfere in politics, even if it is an uncle!
What's more, in Gao Ming's eyes, the eldest grandson Wuji is not his own uncle.
As soon as he thought of this, Gao Ming felt very uncomfortable.
"Damn, this trick is really powerful to kill people with a knife, no wonder the eldest grandson Wuji in history can influence Li Shimin to choose the prince, it seems that there are really two brushes."
Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately slapped the table and stood up.
"Son, let's go, let's go back to the palace."
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Mingda suddenly raised his head and looked at him with a little nervousness.
"Big brother, do you really want to deal with your uncle?"
Seeing that Li Mingda was a little nervous, Gao Ming suddenly shook his head.
"It's not that I have to deal with him, but his hand is stretched too long, if the eldest brother is useless at all, then in the future, others will not know whether this Datang is surnamed Li or the eldest grandson!"
Listening to Gao Ming's slightly angry tone, Li Mingda suddenly fell silent.
Gao Ming immediately noticed that the little girl seemed to be a little unhappy, and immediately smiled and rubbed her little head.
"Son, didn't you often help those ministers intercede in front of your father? It's the same with Big Brother. ”
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Mingda suddenly raised his head again.
"Big brother means that as long as my uncle lets those people go, my big brother won't deal with him, right?"
Gao Ming immediately nodded coolly.
"Yes, yes!"
Now Li Mingda was happy again.
"Uncle is kind to his son, and he told him that he will definitely agree!"
Looking at Li Mingda's happy appearance, Gao Ming had no choice but to smile and shrug his shoulders.
He did not tell Li Mingda that political compromise cannot be solved by close relationships, and the interests involved in it are enough to make many relatives turn their faces.
However, considering Li Mingda's young age, Gao Ming didn't say anything, just smiled and took her little hand.
"Let's go, son, let's go back to the palace."
After speaking, Gao Ming nodded at Zhou Hong, who was kneeling beside him.
"Your name is Zhou Hong, right, let's go, you can go back with me."
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Zhou Hong suddenly showed joy on his face and bowed to Gao Ming.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
And just as Gao Ming took Li Mingda and Zhou Hong out of the door and prepared to be immediately, the little guy from before suddenly greeted him with a smile on his face.
"This master is leaving? Why don't you settle the bill first! ”
Hearing Xiao Xiao's words, Gao Ming suddenly realized a serious problem, that is, he didn't bring any money when he left the palace.
Looking at the smiling little guy, Gao Ming's brows suddenly twitched.
"I'm in trouble!"
