Ji Tang

Chapter 1042 The surprising person behind the scenes

"In other words, you are not sure that you can find all the food spies who have sneaked into the Tang Dynasty?"

In the lobby of the Criminal Department, Qianqian rubbed his dizzy head and suddenly had a headache!

"Yes, there are so many people, and most of them are businessmen, and some have lived in the Tang Dynasty for decades. How can we check this? It's okay to say that the number is small, but if there are too many, it will definitely cause panic. . If word spreads, who would dare to do business in Datang?"

"And this is precisely the viciousness of the enemy, but it is really deliberate. How did they do it after so many years of hiding? Are these people really so loyal? Have they not changed their original intentions for decades?"

Zheng Qian really can't understand why this is?What enables these people to do this?

"Maybe we were wrong from the beginning!"

Ji Run said suddenly from the side.

"Huh? If you have anything to say, my dear nephew, just say it. There are no outsiders here!"

Zheng Qian was stunned and looked at Ji Run hopefully.Your Majesty didn't give him much time for this matter. He had to come up with something useful in a short time.Now Zhang Liang, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, has gone to sea, and he, Zuo Shilang, has become the top leader of the Ministry of Punishment. Now that he encounters such a difficult matter, he is very anxious.

It's his duty to do well. If he doesn't do well, there's no telling whether he can continue to hold the position of Zuo Shilang!
Ji Run pondered for a moment and said: "I heard my father say that the country of Dashi is a combination of politics and religion. In their view, faith is more important than anything else, and many times they would rather die than betray their faith. And The person they believe in is Allah, whom they believe, and the agent of Allah is Muhammad, the founder of the Great Eclipse.”

"Tell me, if a person with a pivotal position in Yisliam came to Datang at this time, would they unite?"

Di Renjie was shocked and said in disbelief: "You mean they have important people coming to the Tang Dynasty? And they brought together these people with the same beliefs?"

"It's not impossible!"

Ji Run said thoughtfully: "Based on their current actions, they want to obtain information about my father. But the Tang Dynasty has always despised businessmen, and high-ranking officials and important ministers are out of reach, and some petty officials do not know the specific details. So they put their idea It hit Khatib. It’s just that they calculated Khatib’s determination and would rather die than be kidnapped!”

"Uncle Zheng, I wonder if we can find a way to lure him out?"

"How to lead?"

Zheng Qian understood what he was thinking, but he still had to say it himself!

"Who do you think can best restrain my father in this world?"

Looking at the smiling Ji Run, Zheng Qian suddenly woke up and shook his head quickly: "No, no, it's too dangerous. If you make a mistake, your father will have to chop me up when he comes back. No, absolutely not!"

He shook his head like a rattle, with an expression that said he would not agree to anything.

Now that he had made up his mind to awaken, Ji Run did not hesitate. He stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Uncle Zheng, now is not the time to think about this. My father is fighting with the enemy at sea and is still obviously at a disadvantage. What if something happens to Datang at this time? If there is trouble, then he will be really in danger.”

"As a son, as the eldest son of the Ji family, I have the responsibility and obligation to do this. Even if I put myself in danger."

"Even if it's for me, Datang, I won't hesitate to give my father a chance of winning!"

But how could Zheng Qian agree to such conditions?How could he not know Ji Song's temperament?If something happens, how can I explain it to Ji Song?
Moreover, the emperor and empress would not agree to this matter, let alone the Ji family.If he really did this, Ji's group of lunatics might be able to knock on his door.

Seeing that Zheng Qian refused to agree to anything, Ji Run became anxious. Ever since he learned about his father's situation, he was anxious, but he also knew that the emperor would not let him out no matter what.

Now he just wants to do something for his father, but he doesn't even agree to this?
"Uncle Zheng, I understand your concerns, but think about it, what are we afraid of in Chang'an? If something happens in Chang'an, even if I don't do this, wouldn't they think of it? So, instead of passively accepting their actions, we should It’s better to strike first, set up a dragnet and catch them all!”

"You!"

Zheng Qian pointed at Ji Run and wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything.When he proposed this method, he already understood that it was the best way to avoid causing turmoil.

Given those people's eagerness to contain Ji Song from within, Ji Run, the Ji family's eldest son and future heir, became a good hostage.Once Ji Run is obtained by them, who knows if Ji Song will go crazy.

No one knows what Ji Song will do when he goes crazy.

"I can't make the final decision on this matter, as long as you can convince your majesty and empress."

"Okay, nephew, go right now!"

Before Zheng Qian could finish speaking, he ran out happily, leaving only Zheng Qian who smiled helplessly and Di Renjie who was thoughtful.

"Mr. Zheng, do you really want to agree to him? You must know that if something happens, Mr. He will..."

"He's going to go crazy, you don't need to remind him of that!"

Zheng Qian glanced at Di Renjie angrily. Of course he knew the consequences of the accident, but looking at Ji Run's appearance, did he just give up if he didn't agree?

Based on his understanding of the emperor, he would probably agree to this matter. The emperor would only choose the most effective method and would not care too much about feelings.The most I can do is take more care!
Chongzheng Hall.

Looking at the little bastard kneeling on the ground, Li Shimin rubbed his forehead. This kid actually wanted to use his body as a guide to lure out the mastermind behind the scenes. What a shame!

How could he not know the temperament of that bastard Ji Song?If I agree today, I don’t know how to blame me when he comes back!
But this is the fastest and most convenient way. Hey, it’s such a headache!

"No, I won't agree. This is too dangerous!"

Before Li Shimin could speak, Changsun stood up and said angrily.

She pointed at Ji Run and then pointed at the door: "Get out! If you dare to talk nonsense again, let's see how I deal with you!"

But Ji Run frowned and said, "Why not? My father was fighting people at sea and you didn't let me go. Now I want to do something for my father to make him feel more relaxed, but you don't agree either."

"The boy is dissatisfied!"

Pfft!
As soon as this kid finished speaking, he was kicked in the butt by Li Shimin, pointing to the door and saying: "Get out of here immediately."

Ji Run was stunned and realized that the emperor's grandfather was indeed angry. He shrank his neck, said nothing, and finally walked out dejectedly.

"I'm so angry. This kid has no idea what's good and bad. At least that bastard Ji Song knows how to live up to other people's kindness. This kid is just a fool!"

"If something happens to him, how can I explain to Ji Song? He is still fighting outside. This battle is related to the fate of the Tang Dynasty. A slight mistake will be a huge disaster. If Ji Song knew that his son had an accident in Chang'an, who knows what he would do Something crazy happened.”

After hearing this, the eldest grandson sighed and said: "Forget it, don't be angry. Although that little bastard is a stubborn donkey, at least he has a good heart. Don't be angry."

"Humph, aren't you used to it? Pingyang is like this, and so are you. Let me see, he will be spoiled by you sooner or later!"

The eldest grandson glanced at the emperor and said quietly: "You can tell Pingyang this, but what's the point of telling it to my concubines?"

"you"

"Hey, I don't have the same experience as you!" Well, I won't say it if I can't. Li Shimin also knew that there was nothing he could do about Pingyang.

Pingyang's temperament is simply stinky and stubborn, and she still accepts death. She has been in a daze for so many years, but there is nothing she can do about it.Even when my father was around, he often had headaches, let alone him.

"But then again, even if he doesn't take the initiative to do this, those people will come to him sooner or later. I'm afraid something will happen by then."

The eldest grandson said worriedly.

She is not a fool. This matter was directed at Ji Song from the beginning. Today Ji Run showed his face in front of those people again. As long as he is not stupid, he knows how to choose and maximize etiquette!

"Don't worry, the Ji family is not a fool. If this is a plot, it will not be consistent with a family with five surnames expecting to have the same name."

Li Shimin wasn't worried at all. Is Ji so easy to bully?Those people have often taken action against the Ji family in recent years, but aren't they nice now?

If they really underestimated the Ji family, that would be their biggest mistake!

"Hmph, let's make a plan. Don't think that I don't know your thoughts? It doesn't matter whether you agree or not. You are still a good person. When Ji Song comes back, there will be no reason to explain. You have to I accept your favor."

Changsun had long seen through the emperor's thoughts and said bitterly.

Li Shimin chuckled: "I'm not just pushing things along. Don't worry, I'll send someone to watch. Nothing will happen."

Changsun rolled his eyes and Shi Shiran walked out without paying any attention to him.

When the queen went out, Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Scatter all the people out, I want to know their every move. How dare you threaten me? Who gave them the courage? Do you really think that I don't dare to kill you?"

Chen Shou on the side was shocked and said quickly: "I obey the order!"

Not long after Chen Shou left, Li Chengqian came over.During this time, he went to inspect the soldiers of the Sixteenth Guards, so Li Shimin had to temporarily take over the government. He did not expect to encounter such a thing.

"Meet the Emperor!"

Li Shimin waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be polite.

Li Chengqian looked around and asked doubtfully: "Where did the queen go? Why didn't I see her?"

"I'm so sulky. I hate that my father and I only know how to scheme with people. No, I'm not happy!"

Li Chengqian was confused as soon as he heard this. What is this?

So, Li Shimin told what happened just now, and then Li Chengqian understood.

"You are so courageous. You dare to threaten the imperial court. Are you sure that we will be defeated?"

There was no emotion or anger on Li Chengqian's face, but how could Li Shimin, who knew his son, not know that he was furious.This son has been proud since he was a child. Although he is easy to treat others, his arrogance has never diminished.

This is a good thing and a bad thing, but it's good to be able to control your emotions.As an emperor, you must not express your joy, anger, sorrow, and joy on the surface.

He did not dare to underestimate the ability of his ministers to speculate on the holy will. Once someone grasps your character, it will not be long before you are ignored.Only if the people below you can't figure out your character will they be cautious and not dare to be presumptuous.

"What should we do if something happens to Run'er?"

Li Chengqian frowned, a little unhappy.

"Humph, you are still the crown prince. Can't you understand this matter? The initiative in this matter is not in our hands at all. Those people are just confident and think that the Tang Dynasty cannot do anything to them. Just watch, if nothing happens, They are already discussing this."

Li Chengqian smiled bitterly when he heard this. Yes, he would not let go of such an obvious target.But taking action against the Ji family?Haha, I'm afraid it might break their teeth!
In Fangshi, located in the south of the city, there is an inconspicuous two-entry courtyard.People around him only knew that there was a big food businessman living here.Because he travels all over the place, he rarely lives here, leaving only a few servants to take care of it.

But what they didn't know was that there were many people gathering in this courtyard at this time.Without exception, they are all foreign faces.Abbas, who was visited by the government today, is actually here.

"Fortunately, we dug a tunnel before, otherwise we would have been closely monitored by them."

Above him was an old man. He closed his eyes tightly and had no expression on his face. He was as serious as a judge.

There were other people in the room, all of them, without exception, were big food businessmen.Some of them were silk merchants who circulated in the Tang Dynasty and Dashi, and some were people who had lived in Chang'an for decades.There are also singers and servants in the West Market wine shop, as well as Kong Wu's powerful warriors.

But now, facing this old man, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at him, as if they were meeting a respected elder, even Abbas was no exception!

"Dear Sir Mufti, all our previous plans failed. The enemies we underestimated did not receive any news!"

Abbas lowered his head and said, but seeing that the other party was indifferent, he finally gritted his teeth and said: "Although there is no result we want, I have found a better target. As long as I control him in my hands, I am not afraid that the Tang Dynasty will not submit!" "

"As far as I know, that person values ​​friendship very much. We can take advantage of this!"

If Ji Song comes again, he will definitely know who this old man is when he hears Mu Fu mention him.

Mufti, in the Islamic world, is a senior legal scholar and senior religious judge who is qualified to issue fatwas.He is the highest law enforcement officer sent by the Caliph to manage religious affairs in the local area.

His power is huge, and he is even qualified to issue edicts. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a prince.He has a high status in the church and has extremely powerful appeal.

"Who?"

Mufti opened his eyes for the first time and looked directly at Abbas. Abbas was stared at as if he was being stared at by a beast, and his whole body trembled!

"The Duke of the Tang Dynasty who fought against Governor Maimon this time is the legitimate son of Ji Song and the heir of the Ji family."

Upon hearing this, Mufti glanced at Abbas and said, "Then do what you want!"

"Yes, Your Majesty the Mufti!"

Abbas was overjoyed, but just when he was excited, he heard something that made him break out in a cold sweat.

"This is your last chance. If you don't get what we want, you know the consequences."

"Although you are from Maimon, no one can stop the Caliph's will."

After speaking, he gently waved his sleeves and said, "Go! Don't come here easily!"

Everyone bowed their heads and said, "Yes, Your Excellency, Your Majesty the Mufti!"
