Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 271 The Truth Comes Out
Gao Ming knew that the person who attacked him and Li Yun was not sent by Li Yun, he asked just to open up the topic, but what he didn't expect was that Li Yun's legs were so frightened when he asked such a question.

"Huang... Brother Huang, it's really not me! Just lend me your courage again, and I won't only do it to you and Brother Six. Brother Huang, you believe me, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

As he said that, Li Yun's tears fell out.

Seeing this scene, not only Gao Ming, but even Li Shimin frowned.

Why is this guy so cowardly?

At this time, Gao Ming suddenly remembered the ending of Li Yun. According to historical records, during the reign of Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty, Li Yun was falsely accused of treason, so before the investigators sent by Li Zhi arrived, he panicked and committed suicide. This shows that , Li Yun is indeed a coward.

After thinking about this, Gao Ming immediately sighed.

"Hey, it's okay, it's not what you did, don't cry!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Yun slowly stopped crying and changed to sobbing one after another.

Looking at Li Yun's weak appearance, Gao Ming really couldn't connect him with Li Yun, the king of Jiang who extorted violently and oppressed the people in history, so he shook his head again.

"Lao Qi, let me ask you, in the past two months, have you ever persecuted a general leading an army, and is it a veteran general who is more popular?"

Hearing Gao Ming's question, Li Yun was stunned immediately, and Li Shimin frowned again, and then looked at Li Yun.

"Is there or is it not?"

Seeing Li Shimin frowning, Li Yun nodded quickly.

"Yes, there are three, but I didn't persecute them..."

Before Li Yun finished speaking, Li Shimin glared at him. Li Yun was startled, and immediately swallowed the rest of the words.

After Gao Ming heard Li Yun's words, he immediately frowned again.

"There are actually three!"

After about a dozen breaths, Gao Ming opened his mouth to Li Yun again.

"Among these three people, is there any wife whose wife is a 20-year-old woman with good martial arts?"

The reason why Gao Ming asked this was because he remembered the woman he met in Puzhou. She should be very skilled, and those masked assassins listened to her, so he could judge that her status should not be low. It may be the wife of a general.

After Li Yun heard Gao Ming's words, he immediately shook his head.

"No, the wives and concubines of these three people are all people without martial arts, but..."

Speaking of this, Li Yun suddenly stopped again, his eyes dodged a bit, seeing his expression, Li Shimin immediately snorted coldly.

"Hmph, evil beast, what else do you want to hide? Could it be that you have done something shameful?"

"what?"

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Yun immediately shivered, and then shook his head like a rattle.

"No, no...Father, my son did nothing shameful. It was Meng Xin who planned to assassinate me, so I ordered someone to take Meng Chao down..."

"Assassinate you?"

Hearing the word "assassination", Li Shimin's eyes widened immediately.

"Who is this Meng Xin, who dared to assassinate the feudal lord? Are you not injured?"

Li Shimin's sudden concern caught Li Yun a little off guard. He froze for a moment, then shook his head again.

"Uh... no, no, thank you, father, for your concern, my son is fine."

"Well, it's fine!"

When Li Shimin and Li Yun were talking, Gao Ming noticed that Li Yun shrank his right hand into his sleeve. Seeing his subtle movement, Gao Ming's eyes narrowed immediately.

"What is he trying to hide?"

Thinking of this, Gao Ming smiled at Li Yun.

"Haha, Lao Qi, when Meng Xin assassinated you, you should have been injured, right? Why don't you let me guess, your right hand is the place where you were injured?"

"Uh……"

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Li Yun's eyes widened again, with an expression of seeing a ghost. Seeing his expression, Li Shimin frowned again.

"Li Yun, show me your right hand!"

Hearing that Li Shimin called him, Li Yun also understood that he couldn't help but refuse at this time, so he gritted his teeth and raised his right hand.

Seeing his reluctance, a trace of suspicion flashed in Li Shimin's eyes. After grabbing his hand, he directly rolled up his sleeves. Immediately, an oval wound appeared on Li Shimin's Gao Ming. in front of you.

The wound was already scarred, and it didn't look deep, but the strange shape made Li Shimin frown.

"This wound is so strange, what kind of weapon was used to cause it..."

Seeing Li Shimin's puzzled look, Gao Ming couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, Lao Qi, so Meng Xin stabbed you with her teeth? Fortunately, it was your hand that she bit. If she bit your face, her teeth would have collapsed, haha... "

Li Yun's brain is much easier to use than Li Yun's, and he immediately heard that Gao Ming was mocking his thick skin, so as soon as Gao Ming's words fell, his face immediately turned red.

"This... this..."

After hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin also reacted, he shook off Li Yun's hand, and a trace of sullenness flashed across his face.

"Hmph, Li Yun, you were bitten by a woman, and you still have the nerve to call it an assassination. What's going on with this Meng Chao? Tell me!"

When he said this, Li Shimin's voice was already stern, and Li Yun was so frightened that he knelt down immediately.

"Father, please be kind!"

"Say it!"

"Yes, the thing is like this..."

Then, Li Yun told the matter.

It turned out that the woman who bit Li Yun was named Meng Xin. Her father, Meng Chao, was originally Li Ke's subordinate. He was brought over by Li Ke when he went to Anzhou to be the governor of Anzhou in the 11th year of Zhenguan. Meng Chao was also quite talented. In a few years, he became the captain of Zhechong Prefecture in Anzhou.

Later, Li Ke was recalled to Chang'an by Li Shimin. In order to avoid suspicion, Li Ke did not dare to bring Meng Chao, a general with military power, back to Chang'an, so Meng Chao and the others were all accepted by the newly appointed Li Yun.

Originally, the emperor and the courtiers were not a big deal. The problem is that Li Yun also has a beautiful daughter. Li Ke is the grandson of Yang Guang, who has the blood of two dynasties. He is a very particular person, but Li Yun is not particular about it. After arriving in Anzhou, they set their sights on Meng Chao's daughter, Meng Xin.

As a vassal king, Li Yun's status is naturally extremely noble. If he can be half as good as Li Ke in life, then Meng Xin will definitely be willing to be his concubine, but it's a pity that Li Yun is far behind Li Ke.

Whether Li Ke treats his subordinates or the people, he is always polite and courteous, and he never takes up his own identity to act recklessly.

Compared with Li Ke, Li Yun is simply a negative teaching material. He not only beats and scolds his subordinates, but also bullies the common people. However, as long as Li Yun is mentioned, there is almost no one in Anzhou who does not spit. People like this, Meng Xin How could it be possible?
But Meng Xin is not a lady, she followed her father to dance guns and clubs since she was a child, not only has a straightforward temper, but also a person with a strong sense of justice, so she never gave Li Yun any good looks.

Once when Li Yun went to Meng's mansion for a drink, he pretended to be crazy and wanted to take advantage of Meng Xin, but Meng Xin didn't dare to beat him, so after being hugged by him, he bit him desperately.

Li Yun didn't take advantage of it, so he naturally became angry from embarrassment. He immediately ordered Meng Chao to be imprisoned, hoping to take the opportunity to make Meng Xin succumb, but what he didn't expect was that after Meng Xin knew that Meng Chao was in prison, he immediately took All the families will run away.

Gao Ming knew what happened next without Li Yun telling him, he immediately sighed.

"Oh, it seems that Meng Xin is the one who attacked me and Li Yin. I don't know who gave this girl a bad idea. Even if you want to borrow a knife to kill someone, it's not such an excuse!"

But Li Shimin's attitude was more direct, and he slapped Li Yun's face with a "slap".

"Naughty animal, if the prince has something good or bad because of this matter, I won't forgive you if I kill you!"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Yun was frightened and kowtowed desperately.

"Father, please forgive me, my son will never dare again, please forgive me..."

Seeing Li Yun who was kowtowing like garlic, Li Shimin's anger also slightly subsided, and he immediately snorted coldly.

"Hmph! Don't go to Anzhou in the future. I'm worried that if you are the governor of Anzhou for a few more years, you will definitely stir up a civil uprising!"

"Yes, yes, I know I was wrong, I hope my father will forgive me this time, my father..."

Li Shimin ignored Li Yun who was kneeling and begging for mercy, but turned his attention to Gao Ming.

"Gao Ming, that woman named Meng Xin is really daring, I plan to release a sea arrest document to arrest her, what do you think?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Yun, who was kowtowing, was stunned.

"Father, he has always been arbitrary. Why did he ask Brother Huang for his opinion? What happened in the past two years when I was not in Chang'an?"

And Gao Ming didn't know the shock in Li Yun's heart, when he heard Li Shimin's question, he immediately laughed.

"Old man, you have been busy with state affairs, and you are already very tired. Don't worry about these small things. Leave this to me. By the way, I haven't seen Li Yin these days. Where has he gone?"

Although Li Shimin knew that Gao Ming was changing the subject, he still couldn't help showing a look of surprise.

"Tsk tsk... I still find it unbelievable to say that until now, Li Yin took the initiative to go to the Imperial College to study after he came back. The day before yesterday, I heard that he went to ask Kong Yingda for advice, and Kong Yingda still praised this kid in front of me for being hardworking and studious. It's unbelievable."

Kong Yingda was a great Confucian in the early Tang Dynasty. In terms of learning, what he said was still very important. Even he praised Li Yin, which proves that Li Yin is really easy to learn. After all, knowledge can't fool people.

You know, Li Yin was evaluated by Li Shimin at the beginning as "not as good as a beast with iron stone". Now that there are such big changes, how can Li Shimin not be shocked?

Speaking of this, Li Shimin suddenly thought of something again, and immediately looked at Gao Ming with burning eyes.

"Gao Ming, you said that Li Yin...could it be because he got better after being beaten up by that Meng Xin?"

"what?"
