Ji Tang

Chapter 1045 The aristocratic family makes a big move! (Qiaomu wishes everyone a happy New Year!)
Although his status in the Ji family was not high back then, he still knew about the sudden appearance of the cannibals.But after so many years, we met him again, and he was still planning to assassinate the eldest son?
"How brave. It seems that they didn't have a long memory of what happened back then!"

"what's up?"

Ji Run was stunned, a little confused!
"My eldest son, you were still young at that time, and you didn't know some things. Back then, we had a fierce battle with the big cannibal, and nearly half of the family's soldiers were dispatched. Finally, we killed all those people without leaving a single person alive. Pass."

"I just didn't expect them to come again."

Old Zheng said harshly: "Now that I'm not here, I must tell you Uncle Lu. He was the one who led the people to exterminate those people. He almost died because of this. He knows those people better than we do."

"But don't worry, we were able to kill them all last time, and this time we can make it impossible for them to come back. Come on, let's go back first!"

After saying that, he pulled Ji Run and walked home. He must tell Ji Lu immediately about this. He was able to intercept and kill them this time, which shows that he was watching them. Don't be careless!

Ji Mansion, Ji Lu's study.

It was a night shift at this time, and if they didn't have the pass badges, they wouldn't be able to come here strutting on the street.

"I know about this. You don't have to interfere. Just do whatever you have to do and just pretend this never happened."

When Ji Run and Lao Zheng immediately came to Ji Lu's house to inform them of the matter, Ji Lu's performance made them look at each other.

"Uncle Lu!"

Ji Run hesitated and said: "They are obviously coming for me. Can you see if I am?"

"To be a bait?"

"madness!"

Ji Lu was not only the commander of Ji's family soldiers, but also Ji Run's cousin and his martial arts master.He is not polite to Ji Run at all!
"Who are you? You are the eldest son of the Ji family and the future patriarch of the Ji family. Are you stupid or crazy and fighting these desperadoes?"

He resented the indifference of steel and said, "Are we all dead? Is it your turn to fight to the death?"

Seeing that Ji Run still had something to say, he said decisively: "There is no need to discuss this matter. You made the old lady so angry last time. Do you want to make her angry again? How many lives does the old lady have for you to waste? ?”

"Go back and do your job well. I will send someone to accompany you tomorrow. You have to remember that your life is more valuable than theirs. Touching an earthen pot with porcelain is beyond your imagination!"

"If you're still like this, then stay home and don't go anywhere."

Ji Run opened her mouth, but in the end she said nothing.He understands his master's temper and will never take back what he says.He originally thought that he could use this moment to intervene, but it seems that he thought too much.

After the dejected Ji Run left, a person appeared in the study after a while.

If Ji Run were here, he would definitely recognize this person.It was none other than Ji Cheng who was idle at home.

"What do you think about this?"

Ji Lu said without raising his head.

"How do you see it? Haha! How else can you see it? Just kill it!"

"I was chased by them at the beginning and had no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. But who knows how to do it on their home court? Now that I have come to the Tang Dynasty, I will definitely make him regret coming to this world!"

Ji Lu didn't know if he heard this, and just asked: "What are you going to do? If there is a big commotion, it will be difficult for the court and the head of the family. And now that the head of the family is away, we still want to be safe and don't cause any trouble."

"Don't worry, we don't need to take action this time. Other aristocratic families have long been displeased with the cannibals. This time they made such a big fuss in the South China Sea and almost brought the Pei family down."

"They have always thought highly of themselves. In the past, they were the only ones who were superior. When will it be someone else's turn to make trouble on their head? The Pei family's matter is an internal conflict within the family. They can choose to watch. But now the cannibal has provoked their most sensitive feelings. Nerves. If this continues, or if this naval battle fails, all their investment in the sea will be in vain."

"I have received news that the Zheng family, the east and west families of the Pei family, the Li family of Zhaojun, the Li family of Longxi, the Cui family of Boling, the Cui family of Qinghe, and the Lu family of Fanyang have sent their principals to Chang'an to discuss this matter."

"So, this time we only need to provide intelligence, and when the time comes, we will light a fire, which will be enough for them to drink from a pot."

Ji Lu was stunned and said in surprise: "Seriously?"

"Of course it's true, and I also found out that the Li family of Longxi should be the one taking the lead this time. It seems that the royal family doesn't want to make the matter too big."

Ji Lu pondered for a moment and said: "In this case, how can I be omitted from the Ji family? Then we will also bring in the Runan Zhou family, the fourth surname in Jiangdong. Since we want to do it, let's do something big so that these people can't see the National People's Congress. The cannibals should take a good look at the power of my Datang."

Jicheng was stunned and asked in surprise: "Has the head of the family agreed to this?"

"No, but the head of the family seemed to have known that the incident in Xuanzhou was related to cannibalism before he left. He left a letter for us to adapt accordingly."

"And I will ask the falcon to send a message about this. With the speed of the falcon, I can get a reply in just a few days. Let's prepare in advance in the past few days, so as not to be caught off guard!"

Ji Cheng was relieved. If Ji Lu had made his own decision in this matter, he would not agree to anything.One bad move will pull Ji into the whirlpool.

"That's okay, but where is the eldest son?"

"Send someone for protection!"

Ji Luyan said concisely and without hesitation.

"Okay, then I'll go down and make arrangements!"

After saying that, Ji Cheng left, but not long after, another person came in. It was none other than Liu Laoer and Daniu who were driven home by Ji Song.

"Brother Lu, what do you want us to do?"

As soon as Liu Laoer came in, he sat on the chair carelessly, looking arrogant.Daniel is much better. Although he also wants to put on airs, he still doesn't dare to be too presumptuous after being in Ji Lu's shadow for many years!

"Are you proud?"

Ji Lu said expressionlessly.

Liu Laoer was agitated. Although he was no longer under Ji Lu's jurisdiction, he still felt horrified when he heard this.

So he said: "No, no, how can it be!"

"It's fine if there isn't one. If there is, I'll have to consider whether to add another one when the family law is enforced."

Bass~
Liu Laoer jumped up immediately as if he had a needle stuck in his butt, looked at Ji Lu warily and threatened: "Ji Lu, I tell you not to go too far!"

"The head of the family has already said that if my brother and Daniel are no longer under you, you are not qualified to enforce family laws. Don't scare me!"

Ji Lu couldn't comment, picked up a letter and threw it directly to him, letting him read it for himself.

Liu Laoer was stunned, picked up the letter and looked at it. It turned out to be a letter written by the head of the family.

It was nothing at first, just some inquiries, but it changed later.Anyway, it just meant the same thing, saying that he and Danniu were weak, so Ji Lu should keep an eye on them and not let them cause any trouble.If you commit any crime, you're welcome and we'll take care of you directly!
Liu Laoer's face turned blue and white for a while, and he scolded Ji Song in his heart, but his face was full of tears.

"Hehe! So what, Brother Lu, if you have anything to do, just ask me, I promise to do it for you."

Ji Lu said politely: "Aren't you embarrassed? Besides, you are not under my control. I'm afraid I can't command you, right?"

"Brother Lu, don't worry. You still don't know what kind of character I am? Just say it, don't you worry about me?"

Just when Liu Laoer was struggling, the big man on the side directly expressed his loyalty. He looked so righteous and unreasonable.

"Well, I know Daniel is the wisest!"

Then he glanced sideways at Liu Lao'er, who was still struggling, and said in a strange tone: "I don't want some people, my wings are stiff." But before he could finish speaking, Liu Lao'er couldn't stand it anymore.With a sad face, he said angrily: "I just said that the head of the family was so happy at that time, so he was waiting for us here."

Then he said with some frustration: "Forget it, forget it. It seems that I can't escape from your hands in this life. Tell me, what's the matter?"

"You have the nerve to say that? You have no idea what you have been doing these past few days?"

"If it weren't for the fact that you still do your duty, I would have to enforce the family law this time!"

boom!
Ji Lu was angry and afraid of the case, so she pointed at Liu Laoer and Daniu and said, "Do you know that just now, the eldest son was intercepted and killed on the street. Where were you at that time?"

"what?"

Liu Laoer and Daniel were shocked and said in disbelief: "Is this true? Who is it?"

"Don't interrupt!"

Ji Lu said angrily: "Where were you just now?"

"me."

At this time, the two of them were dejected and hesitant, unable to say a word.

"What? I'm sorry to say? Do you want me to help you think about it?"

"The master of the family entrusted the safety of the eldest son to you. Is this how you repay the master of the family? One was gambling in the casino last night, and the other was drinking. You are really good at it!"

Pfft!
The two of them said nothing now. They knelt down and lowered their heads and said, "We were wrong. We are willing to enforce family law!"

Seeing the two of them like this, Ji Lu felt a little sad. No matter what their faults were and how they had competed with each other in the past, they were brothers who had grown up together. He just hated the fact that iron could not become steel.

I thought they would be able to calm down a little after being kicked out for a period of training, but now it seems that they have not made any progress at all.

"stand up!"

"Look how cowardly you are? Fortunately, the master of the house trusts you so much, is this what you do?"

After scolding for a while, Ji Lu finally vented her anger.

"From today on, except for the palace, the eldest son cannot leave your sight. If something similar happens again, don't blame me for not remembering our old relationship!"

"get out!"

Liu Laoer's face was full of guilt, but he still frowned and said: "Who attacked the eldest young master? I will go and twist their necks off right now!"

"Yes, if you dare to attack the eldest young master, this is a provocation to my Ji family, and we must not let it go!"

Daniel also followed suit.

"It's a cannibal, but this matter is not as simple as you think. Your task now is to ensure the safety of the eldest son and all the young masters and ladies. You don't need to worry about other things, do you hear me?"

"No. We must"

"Ok?"

Ji Luhu stared, and the two of them lost their temper instantly.

"Get out of here right away. If anything goes wrong again, I'll chop you two alive!"

It wasn't until the two left that Ji Lu breathed a sigh of relief.These two bastards have been following the family master since they were young, and each one has a bad temper than the other.If it weren't for the letter from the family head, we might not be able to suppress them.

He glanced at another letter on the desk, which also belonged to the head of the family.

There is no long speech on it, just one big bloody word!
"kill!"

Ji Lu seemed to see a monstrous evil coming towards him, and even he felt trembling!
As for who to kill, there is no need to say clearly.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly wrote a few letters and had them delivered immediately.They were sent to Jiangdong and Runan respectively.
Tai Chi Temple.

Li Shimin looked at the memorial sent by Qilin Pavilion.

Compared with the previous governance of the three provinces, there is now a Qilin Pavilion to consult and give suggestions.He is much more relaxed now than before.Although the rights of the three provinces have been reduced, their work efficiency has improved a lot without the most time-consuming process of reviewing memorials.

In his plan, although a large part of the power of the three provinces was concentrated in Qilin Pavilion, he was not prepared to abolish the three provinces.Although Qilin Pavilion is easy to use now, who knows what will happen in the future.Therefore, leaving three provinces can largely check and balance Qilin Pavilion.Once Qilin Pavilion and the emperor were at odds with each other, the emperor could completely restart the three provinces and evacuate Qilin Pavilion.

After all, so far, the existence of Qilin Pavilion is only temporary.

At this time, the three provinces have gradually become agencies that review and issue government orders, and their personnel have also been streamlined a lot.But he has the right to refute the Qilin Pavilion Memorial.

Without the consent of the three provinces, Qilin Pavilion cannot directly issue decrees.

However, Qilin Pavilion is the department where the emperor consults and inquires about government affairs, helps the emperor select important memorials, and gives suggestions and plans.Therefore, many important political affairs are often implemented after consultation with Qilin Pavilion.

Therefore, Qilin Pavilion is equivalent to the Prime Minister's Office in the Han Dynasty, but now it is divided among many people, and each person is responsible for one part.

The Zhongshu Province of the three provinces is equivalent to a councilor and has the power to discuss government affairs.The province has the right to review and reject.The Shangshu Province is the department that formulates specific plans and supervises their implementation.The Sixth Department is the most direct execution department.

Since then, everyone has their own responsibilities, restricting and supervising each other, forming a new balance!
Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty is changing with each passing day, and various problems that have never been encountered by previous generations have become prominent.They can no longer look at current problems with the same eyes as before.So sometimes it is better to take it slow than to issue decrees in a hurry.

After Ji Song proposed the pilot method, whenever they encountered a government decree related to people's livelihood, they would choose a place, a county, a continent, or a region as a pilot project for the government decree, and only after observing that there were no problems would it be implemented nationwide.

But if any problems arise during this process, they will be corrected in time.If there is a big crisis, they will stop it.It will not affect the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

He picked up a memorial from the Ministry of Works and read it, and suddenly smiled!
Because the merchant ship modification matters in Dengzhou and Mingzhou were handled well, not only did the local governments cooperate vigorously, but the aristocratic families no longer held back, and the matter was handled extremely smoothly.Many aristocratic families even contributed their talents and lent their own craftsmen to Zhang Liang.

"Your Majesty, something happened!"

Just when he was thinking about how to reward him, Chen Shou ran in in a hurry.

"What's so frustrating?"

Li Shimin frowned and said displeased.

"It's Master Ji Run. He was assassinated on his way home!"

"what?"

Li Shimin didn't care about anything else, grabbed Chen Shou's collar and said angrily: "When did it happen? Where are the others? Are they injured?"

"At the time of Haishi, I was suddenly intercepted and killed by a group of men in black on my way home. Fortunately, Mr. Ji Run was very skilled in martial arts and was able to hold on until Marquis Wu and the patrolling officers arrived, and then the assassins were frightened away. He himself was also unscathed! "

Call ~
Li Shimin breathed a long sigh of relief.

He murmured: "It's fine if nothing happens, it's fine if nothing happens!"

He really didn't dare to bet on what Ji Song would do after Ji Run's accident. If it affected the decisive battle at sea, there would be big trouble.
