Ji Tang

Chapter 1082 Something is wrong with Ji Song!
After getting off the warship, Maimon was still in a state of confusion.

Looking at the busy port with people coming and going, he still can't tell the difference between reality and dreams.

Is this the Tang Dynasty?

When everyone did not stay at the port for too long, Liu Zhan, Yao Chang and the navy officers began to move the goods down. After all, the ships were full of priceless treasures and money. If anything was revealed on their territory, what would happen to them? Sometimes they are so full of words that they can’t even explain!

Gu Yanzhi and Cheng Yaojin took Maimeng and deported former prisoners to Dengzhou City.

Maimeng was shocked again when he saw the Tang Dynasty for the first time, not to mention the captives who had long since lost their energy. Some even thought they had seen a miracle and started to kneel down and pray in excitement.

"Is this the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty?"

But he quickly shook his head and said: "No, no, according to the information we got, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty should be Chang'an, and it is located in the west of the territory."

These two words?Is it Dengzhou?Dengzhou Port, one of the two major ports in the Tang Dynasty?

"It seems that you are very familiar with our Tang Dynasty!"

When Cheng Yaojin heard the other party's poor Guanzhong dialect, he wanted to laugh but couldn't, and his face became a little solemn.Datang knew nothing about the situation in Dashi, but according to Maimeng, they had already been investigating the situation in Datang.

"I haven't asked you yet."

Maimon performed a ritual of feasting, at least in this regard he has not given up his pride!

"This is Duke Lu of the Tang Dynasty, one of the great generals of our country!"

Gu Yanshang stepped forward and introduced: "The position is equivalent to yours. Compared with the titles of you guys, he is equivalent to the Duke of your country."

Maimon was shocked and quickly saluted: "It turns out to be His Excellency the Duke. He was rude just now. Please don't blame me!"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Those who don't know are not guilty!"

Cheng Yaojin felt extremely comfortable. It was rare to be a Duke in the Tang Dynasty, but it was not uncommon. This was the first time he saw someone respecting him so highly in terms of title!
Maimon's eyes flashed and he said slyly: "In our country, Duke is the highest title under the King. They have a large number of territories and people, and they can establish laws at will in their territory."

Then he said with some pride: "Although I am only a marquis, I own the territory of ten cities and one hundred thousand people."

"Of course, these must be insignificant compared to you. After all, in Dashi, the Duke's territory is ten times larger than mine, and the population is larger."

"Although it is my first time to come to the Tang Dynasty, you can see the prosperity and power of the Tang Dynasty from Dengzhou. In such a country, your emperor will definitely not be stingy. I wonder if I am lucky enough to know your territory?"

Cheng Yaojingang was said to be arrogant at first, but when he heard it, something didn't sound right. How could he be bragging about himself?He is clearly trying to sow discord!
I remembered that as the Duke of the country, I only had a few thousand acres of fiefdom and only a few hundred people in the fiefdom. I couldn't use it casually, I could only enjoy taxes!

Customized laws?

hehe!If you dare to make your own laws today, you will be waiting to be chopped down at the Meridian Gate tomorrow!
Look at other people's dukes, and then look at yourself?
The title of Duke, which he had always been proud of, suddenly became unpopular.

"The general is moved?"

"Of course. It's impossible!"

Cheng Yaojin almost choked to death. He glared at Gu Yanzhi who was digging a hole for him, threw up his sleeves and left.

"Did I say something wrong just now? Your general doesn't seem very happy!"

Looking at the innocent Mai Meng, Gu Yanzhi suddenly had a headache. This guy is not a fuel-efficient guy!
"You'd better remember your current identity. Who just held a pivotal position in the Tang Dynasty military. If you offend him today, you should think about whether you will be retaliated by him in the future!"

Mai Meng didn't seem to hear the implication of Gu Yanzhi's words, and said in surprise: "No way? As a noble, shouldn't you forgive me for my unintentional mistakes?"

"Ha ha!"

Gu Yanzhi sneered: "Wuxin?"

"Let's go! Soon you will know how wrong your actions today are. Remember, you are a prisoner now, and the prisoner must have the consciousness of a prisoner."

"We keep you because you are still useful. Once we find out that you are useless."

"A useless person's life is a waste of food!"

"Do it yourself!"

Looking at Gu Yanzhi's leaving figure, Mai Meng's face turned ugly. Especially when he saw the clansmen who were still kneeling and worshiping, he felt panic in his heart for the first time.
At this time, the road ahead was like a road leading to the abyss, but he had to walk
Chang'an, Tai Chi Hall.

When Li Shimin learned that Cheng Yaojin's wife began to transfer Chang'an's property to other countries, he immediately laughed!

"It's still possible! I won't be able to save you until the time comes."

He paused for a moment, looked at Chen Shou and said, "Except Duke Lu's Mansion, has anyone else taken any action?"

Chen Shou heard this and said in a low voice: "Reporting to Your Majesty, in addition to Lu Guogong, other families have also moved, but not as much as Lu Guogong."

"So desperate?"

Li Shimin smiled.

This old goblin is still as decisive as ever and does not hesitate once he makes a decision. Compared to him, others are a little indecisive.

No, it should be said that it is greed!
People, once you have it, it’s hard to give it up.

"Tell the supervisor that their speed is a bit slow. I only give them one year. If they can't complete it, don't blame me for replacing them!"

Chen Shou's heart trembled. He knew that this was a sign of His Majesty's anger.Come to think of it, they dare to push back on His Majesty's decision?

Do you really think that Your Majesty doesn’t dare to kill anyone anymore?

"Slave, go here!"

Seeing Chen Shou leaving, Li Shimin came to the candle and burned the note to ashes.

Picking up another piece of paper on the imperial desk, he still felt dizzy when he saw the numbers on it.Wasn’t this battle too rich?

All kinds of food coins are worth nearly 1000 million yuan. If you add more than 500 warships worth more than [-] dan, this is not a war, it is clearly a robbery!

As for the above-mentioned fact that [-]% of the Nanhai Navy Fleet was damaged in the battle, he was not moved at all.Compared with the gains, Datang could afford this loss.

It's not that he is cold-blooded and doesn't take human life seriously.

But when he sits in this position, he must consider the gains and losses.He will definitely provide generous pensions to the soldiers who died in battle, make them rich if they deserve promotions, and it doesn't matter to him if they are given titles or titles!
just
He read the battle report over and over several times, and the more he read, the more confused he became.

Where is that boy Ji Song?

With that kid's temperament, he shouldn't talk about how miserable he is at this time, and how miserable the soldiers are?Then ask him for benefits?This time it was all mentioned in one stroke, as if it was hidden on purpose!
Not right, very wrong!

This letter was sent back by Yao Chang, the governor of Dengzhou, who ordered the tame eagle to be sent back. It roughly stated the situation of this war. Although it was not detailed enough, it was still possible to get a general idea. It was not like the last time.

"What the hell is this kid doing?"

"This doesn't look like that kid's style. It's wrong, it's so wrong!"

In Dengzhou, Cheng Yaojin, who returned to the governor's office, asked almost the same question as the emperor after Gu Yanzhi finished talking about the war!
"Gu, you damn boy, don't look down on me. What's going on with that boy Ji Song?" Cheng Yaojin's face was full of black lines: "How can I not know what kind of character that boy is? Tell me, is there something going on? What happened?"

Gu Yanzhi paused while drinking tea, but soon returned to normal, and said in surprise: "General, why did you say this? I thought that our Nanhai Navy Fleet, under the leadership of Lord Hao, defeated the great cannibals and wiped them all out. "

"Besides, with Mr. Xi's ability, what can happen to him?"

"You worry too much!"

Cheng Yaojin looked suspiciously at Gu Yanzhi, who was trying his best to cover up. He was a little unsure before, but now he was very sure that Gu Yanzhi was definitely lying.

But now it seems that the other party has no intention of telling the truth to him!
"Gu, I don't care what you think of me, but Ziyi's business is my business. If I know something bad happens to him, you will know the consequences."

"Don't think that I don't know if you don't tell me? The people who come back with you should also know, right? Why don't I go and ask?"

"no!"

Gu Yanzhi stared at Cheng Yaojin with red eyes, until he realized that he had been tricked by the other party, then he sat helplessly on the chair.

"General!"

He said bitterly: "This is Mr. Hao's own intention. You'd better not ask any more questions."

Clang!

The tea cup fell to the ground. Cheng Yaojin looked at Gu Yanzhi with cannibalistic eyes and said ferociously: "Are you saying something really happened to Ziyi?"

"What? Something happened to Mr. Xi?"

When Yao Chang and Liu Zhan, who had just returned, heard this, they immediately shouted out!

"To shut up!"

Gu Yanzhi glared at the two of them fiercely, and then said helplessly: "Yes, something happened, but you should wait for Mr. Hao to come back to talk about the specific situation."

"I promised Mr. Hao, and the soldiers outside also promised him, don't spread this matter for the time being."

He then looked at the three of them with almost pleading eyes and said, "I'm begging you. If this matter gets out, it will definitely cause turmoil. Besides, you should also think about Mr. Xi's family."

Cheng Yaojin almost gritted his teeth and said, "I won't ask about the others. I just want to know if he is alive?"

Gu Yanzhi opened his mouth, knowing that he couldn't escape today, so he could only nod helplessly.

call!
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but they were filled with fear. If Ji Song was true, the Tang Dynasty might really be in turmoil.

Cheng Yaojin knew very well how much his Majesty, the Queen, and the Prince valued Ji Song.The emperor and empress regarded Ji Song as their nephew, and the prince regarded him as his brother. The relationship between the kings of Wei and Wu and Ji Song was also extraordinary.Not to mention Princess Pingyang who regards Ji Song as her son.

Coupled with the fact that they regard Ji Song as the leader of the military in the future, if Ji Song is really gone, the whole court may really have to be reshuffled.

When His Majesty is furious, no one knows what he will do!

It's good to live, as long as you live there is hope!
"What do you do for a living? Something happened to the commander of the first army, but you were unscathed? Okay, that's great!"

Immediately, Cheng Yaojin became furious, thinking that with so many people protecting him, something happened to the coach?These guys are a bunch of trash!
"You are right to scold me, but I would rather die than have anything happen to Duke Hao. But the situation was critical at that time. If Duke Hao had not ignored his personal safety, we would never have won this naval battle."

"I have tried to persuade him, and everyone has tried to persuade him, but he just doesn't listen!"

"What can we do?"

Gu Yanzhi almost roared.

"Okay, that's it for now!"

Then he glanced at Gu Yanzhi and said angrily: "It's okay if you don't tell me, but with His Majesty's attention and understanding of that boy, do you think you can hide it? Are you planning to deceive me?"

Gu Yanzhi said dejectedly: "What can we do? We can only take one step and see what happens!"

As a result, the originally pleasant scene of detailed talks disappeared. Cheng Yaojin was destined to be king again and could not stay in Dengzhou forever, so he got up early the next morning and went back to Chang'an with Gu Yanzhi.

Of course, Maimon, the prisoner, is under strict supervision!
However, he was a little miserable at this time. Cheng Yaojin didn't know whether he was angry or not. After drinking some wine last night, he went to Maimon's room and beat him up. It was so miserable for him to cry for his father and mother.

Gu Yanzhi, Yao Chang and others pretended not to see them. If the Jinwu Guards accompanying them had not stopped them, they would have been beaten to death!
The few people were speechless all the way. To be sure, Cheng Yaojin temporarily seconded 1000 soldiers from Zhechong Prefecture in Dengzhou to go with him. In addition, he seconded 2000 soldiers from Li Jina in Luoyang.

It's not that he made a fuss, he really didn't dare to be careless.

At first, when Li Ji received the news, he thought Cheng Yaojin was joking with him. He was escorting a mere thousand prisoners but was continuously seconded to the local army. What was he trying to do?
So he went directly to question him, but when he saw the contents of hundreds of carriages, he felt bad.

"You mean it's all gold and silver?"

Cheng Yaojin nodded and said helplessly: "I don't want to either, but if something goes wrong on the road, I won't take it lightly even if I'm full of words!"

Li Ji nodded clearly. If this matter were placed on him, he would probably make the same choice!

"correct!"

Li Ji suddenly said: "What the hell happened to your last letter? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"I also heard that your wife has started to transfer her property outside the city. Tell me, what do you think?"

Cheng Yaojin looked around and took Li Ji to a deserted place.

"Something happened to Ziyi!"

"what?"

Li Jing was startled by the sudden news and looked at the serious-looking Cheng Yaojin with suspicion: "That kid? Are you kidding me?"

"With that kid's ability, what can happen? Even if the whole army is dead, if he wants to leave, no one can stop him. What can happen to him?"

But while he was talking, he couldn't continue and asked in surprise: "Did something really happen?"

"I don't know the specifics. The person named Gu is very strict. I guess it was Ziyi who told me, and I can't ask anything. I just know that if Ziyi hadn't taken the lead in this naval battle, I'm afraid we would all have to go to the coast to set up defenses!"

Li Ji's face was uncertain, and he whispered: "What does this have to do with your transfer of industry?"

Cheng Yaojin glanced at Li Ji, recounted what he saw and heard in Dengzhou, and finally said: "Before, I was just in case, but now, I have to do it."

"Looking at Gu, I'm afraid Ziyi will be in trouble this time. We can't stand up to His Majesty at this time. Let's wait until that kid comes back!"

"Let everyone else stay calm during this period. If anyone makes trouble at this time, don't blame me for not remembering old friendships!"

Li Ji nodded and said: "Listen to you, if something happens to Ziyi, the court will really be in chaos!"

Then he looked at the long motorcade and discussed: "Do you think there is still a shortage of manpower? Can I give you some more?"

Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I'm not going to rebel, why do we need so many people? If something happens like this, I'll just wipe my neck!"
