Ji Tang

Chapter 1001 Thoughts and Glory
"The daughter of the people, Ji Hu, pays homage to your majesty. May your majesty and the Tang Dynasty live forever!"

"Meet the Empress!"

Juana spoke broken Chinese and bowed down to the emperor and eldest grandson at Ji Song's signal!

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson looked at each other. The eldest grandson leaned forward slightly and supported him with one hand: "Get up!"

Juana kept in mind her lady's teachings during this period and never raised her head to look at the emperor and queen from beginning to end. Only then did she stand up when she heard the sound.

At this time, Li Shimin suddenly said: "Raise your head!"

Ji Song was surprised for a while, glanced at the indifferent eldest grandson, and nodded towards Juana who was looking at him.

"Sure enough, they don't look like people from the Central Plains, but they also don't compare to those black slaves with blond hair and blue eyes. Come on, give me a seat!"

Chen Shou moved a brocade stool. Juana felt a little embarrassed, but at Ji's signal, she still sat down.

"I heard that your grandfather was the Eastern Governor of the Great Food Kingdom?"

Juana trembled when she heard this, and she suddenly felt a little excited.When the eldest grandson saw it, he quickly said: "Don't think too much. Your Majesty and I also know that you are also a nobleman, but for some reason you ended up living in the Tang Dynasty. I think the Tang Dynasty has been open to all rivers since ancient times, and has the mind and heart to welcome anyone."

"Don't be afraid, no matter who you were before, but now you only have one identity, that is, a member of the Ji family of the Tang Dynasty. I hope Ji will keep this in mind!"

Juana paused slightly and said: "When the girl was 16, her family was ruined, and she fled to the Western Regions under the protection of the elders of the family. However, things did not go as planned, and the girl's last relatives also passed away. In Dashi, she used to be strong. The family also disappeared."

"and."

She gritted her teeth and said, "And I was called a traitor and a spy by those who persecuted my family. At this time, no one with the same surname as Minnu can be found in Dashi. They... they are all ashamed of this surname!" "

Suddenly, he fell to his knees and sobbed: "The daughter of the people has nothing to ask for now. If my husband hadn't saved her back then, the daughter of the people would have passed away long ago. So, I beg your majesty and the empress to show mercy and give the daughter of the people a home!" "

A home.
What a simple yet extravagant request!

A woman whose family was ruined and who had been on the run for 20 years is still able to persist until now despite losing her relatives and friends, her family being humiliated, and her enemies being at ease.

Not to mention anything else, this tenacity and strength are worth learning and respecting by everyone!
The eldest grandson's eyes were slightly red, and he stepped forward to help Juana up.

"Get up quickly, Datang will be your home from now on. All suffering and misfortune will be a thing of the past. And you will be a part of this powerful country."

Changsun Hao was so angry that he said loudly: "Here are the wisest kings, the most heroic and capable soldiers, well-informed scholars and the best people. Here, you will not have to worry about anything else, let alone be afraid."

"Datang has the ability and responsibility to protect every citizen who recognizes, supports and loves it."

Ji Song and Li Shimin looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.The eldest grandson must be addicted to acting, but no one dares to expose her unless they don't want to.

What's more, Li Shimin personally went to the academy to pick up his eldest grandson a few days ago. If he dared to refute her face at this time, do you believe that he would turn around and go to the academy to enjoy life?

The eldest grandson was living a magical life in the academy during this period. Before he even got up in the morning, his son was pulling his two younger brothers to prepare everything properly.

The food, the beautiful scenery, the things to eat, see and play almost made me sick.

It doesn’t matter what he wants to do. Having a son with a roundworm-like stomach makes him worry-free.

They bickered and quarreled with Pingyang every day, which was regarded as a small game after dinner.In your free time, go and listen to the old teacher's class, or go among a group of students to show the kindness of a loving mother in the world.

If you have nothing to do, go to the magnificent library to read books, go to the museum to see the remains of ancient giant beasts, and then tease the silly giant panda. Life will be so comfortable.

She felt comfortable, but Li Shimin was miserable.Without the queen to suppress the goblins in the harem, during this time they used all means to attract the emperor's attention, short of forcing their way into the Tai Chi Palace.

They met by chance in a garden. Seeing the emperor coming, he accidentally fell into the water. It was trivial to shout for help in the lake that was only half waist high.There were also those who danced, played the piano, and sang on the emperor's only route, showing off their talents.Anyway, I tried my best and used every method I could think of.

Although the old concubine had been in charge of the harem before, she was old after all, so she just turned a blind eye to some things and let them go as long as they could.

Not to mention Crown Princess Su, will they take you as a junior to their heart?
Although no big things happened, little things happened constantly, which annoyed Li Shimin, the emperor who was a little green among thousands of flowers.In addition, he was about to meet Juana, so it was indeed inappropriate to meet a Hu woman alone, who was still married.

If it were spread outside, I don’t know what kind of joke it would turn into.

I had no choice but to invite him in person, but as for how to do so, no one else could know.Anyway, I saw that the emperor's legs were a little weak the next day, and the rest will not be known to outsiders.

Would the eldest grandson be so nice to someone he just met?When this person was still a barbarian woman?
Think about who the eldest grandson is?That is a person who will be regarded as a wise empress through the ages by later generations. How can he be compared to ordinary people?When it comes to hard-heartedness, skills, etc., how can anyone else compare to him?Otherwise, why suppress Li Shimin's harem?Maybe it's because there were no plots of palace battles in Li Shimin's lifetime.Even if future generations want to make a fuss about this aspect, if you look through the history books, whether it is official history or unofficial history, you can't find anything worthy of being written down. Do you think it's amazing or not?

How could such a wise empress of the ages be able to sympathize with a barbarian woman like an ordinary woman?
Therefore, everything is priced secretly.

And Juana's existence is indeed worthy of her doing this.Before Juana entered the palace, all her past was placed on the emperor's imperial desk. When the eldest grandson read these things, he couldn't help but admire them.

There are various signs that this is not a simple woman. She can work hard to build a large family fortune in the chaotic Western Region and at the same time maintain this wealth as a first-class woman. This is not an easy thing in itself.

Although there was support from the Ji family, at the beginning it was just a few guards and a wet nurse left by a branch of the Ji family.

It was only after she showed her strong business talent that the Ji family began to provide strong support, and then there was a branch of the Ji family that played an important role in the Western Region.Commerce has spread to all countries in the Western Region, and there is a lot of industry in Dashi, and she also has her footprints on the plateau.She had noticed this woman when the Ji family entrusted her with important business in the Western Region.

After that, instead of putting aside Juana, who had huge influence, they used Ji's influence to continue to use Juana.

For the sake of safety and concealment, and because some people were worried about the possibility of being liquidated by the royal family, although the eldest grandson was in charge for a long time, many people underneath did not know that the Ji family had handed over most of the business in the Western Regions to the royal family. .

Later, Juana only found out about it based on her own judgment, but the instructions given by Ji were to fully cooperate with the royal family and not to worry about other things.

In recent years, the reason why the royal family has been able to quickly and smoothly control the territory handed over by the Ji family is thanks to Juana's cooperation. Faced with such a hero among women, do you think it is worth the eldest grandson's attention?

As long as today's conversation is spread, anyone who wants to touch Juana must consider the opinion of the eldest grandson. This is the greatest protection for Juana.

In any case, there is some truth in what Changsun did. At least Juana gradually had a sense of belonging, and it also made him feel that the Tang Dynasty valued her.

Only when a person realizes higher life value in his life, will he throw away low-level desires and low-level tastes.Will a person who is respected by the people because he is an honest official engage in corruption easily?
Would a person revered as a contemporary saint easily do things that harm his own innocence?

Therefore, when the eldest grandson chose to believe in her without any reservation, Juana also became more determined in her thoughts.

Later, he and the emperor were kicked out because the Empress of the Tang Dynasty said that they women had something personal to say, what were the two grown men doing here?
Therefore, under Juana's dumbfounded eyes, the majestic emperor of the Tang Dynasty was called the Khan of Heaven by all the people in the world.And one of the top nobles of the Tang Dynasty, Duke Xin, who was called the wise man of the Tang Dynasty, was driven out.

Thinking about it, I feel quite shameless. Look, isn't Li Shimin getting more and more angry as he thinks about it, and is about to go find someone to argue with him?

"Okay, okay. We men can hold up a boat in our bellies, and we are not as knowledgeable as women. Let's calm down, just calm down."

Quickly grabbing Li Er who wanted to go in, Ji Song breathed a sigh of relief.

Grandma’s, it’s so damn hard.

You and your wife were quarreling, why did you bring me along?If you go in now, no one can do anything to you, but if you take care of me, a little prince of the country, isn't that easy?

Li Shimin pointed at his nose and said angrily: "There has never been an emperor as aggrieved as me since ancient times. Tell me, am I too spoiled by them? Neither Pingyang nor the queen takes me seriously, right? ?”

Ji Song hesitated and rolled his eyes, why don't you talk about your daughters and sisters?Now it's almost three miles away, and the royal family has lost all face.

Are you talking about Pingyang?Haha, you have been bullied since you were a child. What's wrong?Are you not used to it now and are you unwilling to accept it?What did you do early?I didn’t think about it until I thought about it, it’s too late!
"Do you think I should also go to the academy to stay for a few days? I went to the academy a few days ago and found that the academy has changed a lot, especially the library, which is domineering, majestic and magnificent. This is what the Tang Dynasty should be like! "

"If I have such a grand palace, do you think one will be passed down? Otherwise, if there is a fire that day, it will have to be rebuilt. Think of Qin Shihuang's [-]-mile Lishan Palace, which was burned to the ground by Xiang Yu. , my heart aches just thinking about it!”

While talking, he looked at Ji Song, as if he was expecting something.But what a thief Ji Song is, how could he just pick this up casually?Anyway, he just lowered his head and counted the ants on the ground without speaking.

"I'm talking to you, why are you so careless? Talk!"

Even though I had been winking for a long time, I was giving the dog a wink, and they didn’t bother me at all, but who was Li Shimin?Is he a reasonable person?People themselves are the reason for becoming big in this world.

"Ah? What are you talking about, Your Majesty?"

Ji Song seemed to have been awakened by the emperor. He raised his head blankly and said, as if he had heard nothing and knew nothing. He was so angry that his teeth were itching with hatred.

"Pretend, if you keep pretending to me, I will let you pretend until you die!"

Li Shimin had a dark face, he was really angry.Doesn’t the emperor always have a few courtiers who know his heart and mind?Regardless of whether someone is capable of governing the country, at least he understands the emperor's thoughts.

With just a wink, you can get things done in your mind.But who are the people around me?Wei Zheng and Wei Xuancheng who dared to yell at me in the main hall, but also this bastard in front of me, how come my life is so miserable.

No wonder there have been many foolish kings since ancient times, but wise kings are rare to see in a hundred years. The key is that foolish kings are too damn comfortable.How does it look like him?I've been busy all day long, and when it's over, my ministers still don't know what's going on!
Ji Song had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, don't look at the library. It looks really good, but don't look at the cost. I spent all my money to build it. Not to mention other things, the entire construction time was consumed. Ten years. If I dare to build a palace like this for you, I will definitely be scolded to death by my father-in-law, let alone anything else. Not to mention the courtiers, I am afraid they can drown me with their spit."

"You'd better hire someone else to do this, I can't do this!"

He shook his head like a rattle. No matter what Li Shimin said, he just wouldn't answer.

"Hey, that building makes me feel grand when I look at it. This is what the Tang Dynasty should have. It is said that there are only thousand-year-old families, not thousand-year dynasties. My Longxi Li family is also one of the famous families. Of course I understand this sentence means~"

"Since ancient times, there has been no dynasty that will never perish. I don't know how many years the Tang Dynasty can exist. I sometimes wonder, when the Tang Dynasty is no longer around, what can I leave for future generations?"

He pointed to the buildings in the palace and said: "Xiang Yu burned Xianyang with a fire and burned the traces of the Qin Dynasty. Dong Zhuo burned the country of the Han Dynasty for 400 years. What remains now are some relics. Only from this can we get a glimpse of the grand occasion at that time. "

He stared at Ji Song: "Don't you want the Tang Dynasty, for which our monarchs and ministers have devoted their lives, to leave some thoughts to future generations? Even if it is a building, it can let future generations see what our Tang Dynasty is. How brilliant and powerful.”

Ji Song was silent, but in the end he shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I can't decide this matter. If you can't convince others, I can't do anything."

But Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this, because the current library of the academy was designed by this boy himself. Such a building was the only one in the Tang Dynasty, and only Ji Song had this experience.If you want to build such a building, his participation is absolutely indispensable.

"Then it's settled, I'll take care of the other things. Just draw out the design drawings and let me take a look first!"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he ignored whether Ji Song was willing or not. He looked at the buildings in the palace with longing, as if he saw a palace built with huge rocks rising from the ground. No matter how long it took and how many wars and storms it went through, They all stand here to protect the glory of the Tang Dynasty
