Tang Ming smiled bitterly, it was impossible to hide it at this point, giving the two ladies who were still in shock an apologetic look, he immediately got up and rushed to Zhu Gaochi, who was about to enter the door, and pulled him towards the courtyard outside the living room.

The scene that happened in the hall happened to be fully watched by Zhu Gaochi, knowing that he was in trouble, it was too late to shut up, so he had to let Tang Ming pull forward.

Under the banyan tree in the courtyard, Tang Ming pulled Zhu Gaochi here and ignored it. He was about to go on an expedition, and Tang Ming didn't know how to face the two ladies at this moment, so he avoided them first when he became an ostrich.

Zhu Gaochi observed Tang Ming for a moment and saw that he was not angry at himself, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart for his abnormal performance. Usually, as long as the two of them are not present with outsiders, whether they talk or etiquette, they are put aside, and they can come as happy as they want.

"I said, what are you doing in a daze? Does your father really want you to fight him with the Tartars? Zhu Gaochi came to Tang Ming's side and stretched out a finger to poke him in the back.

Tang Ming turned his head and glared at him, nodded with a dark face and remained silent. Seeing Tang Ming's look of dying or alive, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but lose his temper, didn't he want him to fight the Tartars with his father, it was a big deal, as for putting on this appearance to show himself.

"If your father wants you to go, you will go, anyway, if you go there, it will not be your turn to go to the battlefield, as for the appearance of losing your soul? I'm curious why my father suddenly asked you to go north to fight the Tatars, and you're not a good fighter at your size? Zhu Gaochi's puzzled eyes kept sweeping around Tang Ming's body, as if he could find the problem in this way.

Tang Ming pursed his lips and replied: "I still want to ask you, the emperor will ask me to fight the Tartars for no reason, do you dare to say that this matter has nothing to do with your mother?" ”

Zhu Gaochi was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Impossible, this matter has something to do with the queen mother, she has always been in the palace and has never left the palace for half a step, the emperor is thousands of miles away, where can the queen mother interfere." ”

"Are you stupid in the palace, who told you that only together can you influence other people's thoughts. You tell me, is it that after I got out of this incident, the queen wrote a note to the emperor, and if so, do you know what she said in the book? Tang Ming was very suspicious at the moment that the queen was angry with her and would not leave the prison, and the queen had just said something in the recital, and the emperor would make this decision, otherwise he would not have done such an unexpected thing for no reason.

Zhu Gaochi really didn't know what the queen said in the recital, but he believed that the benevolent queen mother would definitely not make such a trick to harm Tang Ming. Xu Jingchang went to see his mother shortly after retiring from the court, and he had already learned about it. From the mouth of the eunuch, it was also confirmed that the queen mother did not harm Tang Ming, Xu Jingchang was reprimanded by the queen mother for his unrelenting performance afterwards, and now Zhu Gaochi would not believe that the queen would do such a thing.

Shaking his head slightly, Zhu Gaochi defended with a little dissatisfaction: "You must not measure the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, maybe you don't know that Xu Jingchang went to his mother after retiring from the dynasty that day, and wanted her to come forward to ask you for shares in a maritime trading firm, but the queen mother not only did not agree to his request, but also severely reprimanded Xu Jingchang, so this matter must have nothing to do with my mother." ”

"According to what you say, this matter is really the emperor's own idea, and it has nothing to do with others?" Tang Ming couldn't help but doubt his previous thoughts at this moment.

"It must have nothing to do with my mother." Zhu Gaochi said it categorically.

"Then why did the emperor make such a decision?"

"Maybe this is not my father's decision, is what Yao Guangxiao Yao Shao meant? Maybe there's something wrong over there, and you have to show up to fix it. Zhu Gaochi was also confused at the moment, this thing came too suddenly, it was really incomprehensible.

In the end, I still didn't get anything, and I wasted most of my time in vain. The most direct way to know the answer is to take a walk, Tang Ming didn't bother to guess with Zhu Gaochi here, let him go back to the palace first, and he found Zhu Yong and Li Ba to discuss the expedition.

As soon as Zhu Yong heard that he could fight Tatar, his eyes were full of anticipation, but only one of him and Li Ba could go on the expedition with Tang Ming. The other must be the commander of the merchant fleet's bodyguard, protecting the merchant fleet's trade.

As soon as he heard Tang Ming say this, Li Ba knew that he had no hope, the people in the Treasure Shipyard were all training him, and only he could command these people. If Zhu Yong goes to lead the fleet, it will definitely not work.

Tang Ming looked at Li Ba, he nodded and agreed, there was no way, there was no better candidate besides him now, Li Ba couldn't go even if he didn't want to.

"Brother Li, then the merchant fleet will entrust you, this trial voyage is very important, be careful in everything." Tang Ming originally wanted to go out in person this time, but unfortunately there was no way now.

Li Ba nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, Master Hou, Li Ba will definitely not let you down." ”

"Then you go and discuss with Lao He now, and set off early tomorrow morning, the fleet has been delayed at the dock for more than ten days, and it can't be delayed any longer, Lao He should be very anxious during this time."

Li Ba simply said goodbye, and Zhu Yong smiled and stuck to Tang Ming's side and said, "Master Hou, when will we also leave, the emperor is in a hurry to urge this matter." ”

Tang Ming was worried about how to explain the expedition to the two ladies, where did he have time to chat with Zhu Yong here, and sent him to pack his things and prepare to leave at any time. He himself returned to the living room.

Chen Jialan and Xiao Ding were still waiting for him, and seeing Tang Ming coming back with a depressed face, Chen Jialan asked worriedly: "Xianggong, is what the prince said just now true?" ”

Tang Ming glanced at the two pale pretty faces, and nodded helplessly to admit: "Yes, that's right, in the holy decree that came in the morning, the emperor suddenly asked me to fight the Tatars." ”

When he admitted this, Tang Ming was ready to withstand the tears of the two women. But he closed his eyes and waited for a while, but there was no movement, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Chen Jialan and Xiao Ding staring at him calmly.

Tang Ming gradually became puzzled, the reaction of the two was too abnormal, which made him worry in his heart.

Chen Jialan seemed to understand Tang Ming's thoughts, smiled and said softly: "Xianggong, will this expedition be very dangerous?" ”

Tang Ming responded stunned: "The danger will not be, after all, I went with the emperor's side, and my small body can't go to the battlefield." Besides, there is a teacher there, and he will definitely not let me get into danger, so you still don't need to worry. (To be continued.) )
