Ji Tang

Chapter 1106 Half a year!

The chirping of cicadas in summer always makes people irritated. After finishing his work for a while, Ji Song swayed his wheelchair to the front steps with a cattail fan.

Perhaps because he wanted to curry favor with his new boss, someone made the original steps into a gentle slope. With his strength, he could go up and down without any hindrance.Being suddenly exposed to the summer sun, my eyes suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.I closed my eyes for a while to adapt, and then came to the locust tree in the yard.

This tree was obviously artificially cultivated. The originally messy branches were pruned into an umbrella-shaped crown. In the hot summer, the scorching sun could not reach the crown of the tree.

A cool breeze blew, and he closed his eyes comfortably to enjoy it.

But the wind came and went faster. Before he could enjoy the rare coolness, the hot wind surrounded him again.

Old Yuchi was ill. The emperor went to see him in person three times in a row, and even brought the best doctors with him, but he could only do nothing.Ji Song didn't go, so no one came to see him.

The fact that he didn't go already explained a lot of problems. The trauma on the battlefield in his early years had already exhausted Yu Chi's body.If Ji Song and Daozhang Sun hadn't prescribed a lot of nourishing medicine to him over the years, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on now.

His life has been very regular in the past six months, and he will not go to the morning.Unless absolutely necessary, he would not go to the Tai Chi Hall at all, and even if he did, he would not say a word.

After taking over Wuyingge, he carried out drastic reforms in some matters in the military.Generals of rank five or above from various places came to Chang'an in batches to report on their duties.

Smart people all know that this is Ji Song's screening of the army, and there is a high probability that anyone who fails during the debriefing period will not be able to return.Even if nothing happens, he will probably be transferred out of the original army.

This is unacceptable to many people, and some people even use illness as an excuse for not coming.

But he was already prepared and could he pamper them?

Not coming, right?OK!

Since you are sick, you cannot handle affairs?Well, save yourself the trouble of finding reasons, just transfer someone else to take up the post, and then transfer his cronies away.

In this way, Tang Dynasty will not trouble you. Since you are sick, treat it well.

After doing this for a few times, everyone became honest.No matter how reluctant you are, you still have to come to Chang'an, even if you know you may not be able to come back this time.

It's not that they didn't think about causing trouble, but under the surveillance of the Military Intelligence Department, they were arrested before they could make any move, and they still didn't know how they leaked the news.

They came to Chang'an one after another. They thought they were doomed this time and were prepared to die.But the results surprised them.

It is true that they could not return to the army, but they were not punished. Instead, after their military power was lifted, they went to work as county lieutenants in local places, or they were transferred out of the army to serve as casualties if there was no big problem.

Some people with minor faults and abilities were retained. I heard they were going to be teachers at some Army academy?

That's right, after Ji Song found out about all the generals, he divided them into several categories.All those generals who did not treat soldiers as human beings and were selfish were dismissed.

Those who had made big mistakes or had mismatched abilities were transferred elsewhere.As for some people with minor faults and extenuating circumstances, he assigned them to various parts of the Tang Dynasty to serve as local county captains or Zhechong generals.Let these unruly frontier generals go to the local area to torment those powerful families!
The generals of the border army who were killed in the sea of ​​​​blood and corpses, do you expect them to make a false alliance with you?

The rest are some young generals who have extraordinary abilities and good abilities, and he keeps some of them.

After the emperor established the Army Academy, he sent them to be instructors. After three years, those who wanted to leave were promoted to a higher level.If you don’t want to leave, you can continue to teach at the college.

What they teach students is not poetry and etiquette, but the ability to form troops and command the army.

At first, the courtiers did not agree, but after Ji Song explained the benefits to the emperor and asked the emperor himself to serve as the first president of the college, Li Shimin agreed without thinking.

If he misses this opportunity, it won't be him.

As long as he is the dean, all the generals who come out of the academy will naturally be close to him. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the emperor's disciples.

Does resistance from courtiers matter?
Of course it is important. At least Li Chengqian, the supervisor, can only compromise when encountering big resistance.But when you meet Li Shimin, it's different.

In Li Shimin's view, if I want to listen to your advice, then I will listen to it. If I don't want to listen to it, it is just a fart!
Are the courtiers aggrieved?

Of course they feel aggrieved, but do they dare to show it?

In front of the powerful emperor, they didn't even dare to fart!

Half a year was only enough time for the more recent generals to return to Chang'an, and he put the generals from Anxi and other places last.

After half a year of harassment, he found that there were fewer and fewer people around him who could talk to him.Even the family members spoke to him cautiously, so the children, wife and mother could still continue as usual, and the others
As Wuyingge's power grew, so did his own power.Li Ji wasn't convinced before, but after several beatings, didn't he accept his oppression honestly?
Everyone is changing, but his changes are a little big!

Everyone thought that sitting in his current position, he would definitely make profits for the Ji family. This was what everyone was doing. Why would Ji Song be an exception?

It's true, he did make a profit, and a lot of it, but he was not the Ji family, but the Navy Master.But no one talked about it.His governance was biased overseas and focused on naval construction.

A military port was also opened in Guangzhou, Lingnan, to station troops.

Changsun Wuji didn't know what kind of agreement he had made with Feng Ang of Lingnan, so he jointly submitted a letter requesting to open a port in Guangzhou and establish a shipping company.

Not surprisingly, Li Shimin agreed and strongly supported it.Not only were capable officials sent to Guangzhou to preside over matters, but many officials were also transferred from Mingzhou and Dengzhou.

Li Chengqian had asked for his opinion before, but what could he say?
With the prosperity of Dengzhou Port in Mingzhou, everyone knows what it means to have a port.In the past, many thoughtful people could only stop working because the emperor did not allow it.

But now that the emperor has agreed to build a port in Guangzhou, has their opportunity come?
So some people started to test it, first in Liaodong and then in Suzhou.Anyway, there are proposals to open ports anywhere near the sea.

But they also didn't think about it, unless the emperor was crazy, they would agree to his proposal.Before he could go to the emperor, he was blocked by Li Chengqian.

Why did the imperial court attach great importance to Dengzhou and Mingzhou?

Not because these two places contribute a large amount of tax revenue to Datang every year. Once a large number of ports are opened, it means that the originally concentrated maritime trade will be dispersed. Although this will greatly promote the local people's livelihood, But there is no competitive advantage.

The skyrocketing cost of officials and management is also not conducive to the growth of tax revenue!

There are only so many people engaged in maritime trade now, and there are only a handful of countries in the world that can sail on the sea.What do you need so many ports for?
Apart from sharing the interests of Dengzhou and Mingzhou, there is no benefit at all!

As for Guangzhou, it has a superior geographical location, otherwise he would not have established a military port there.In addition, it was closer to the South China Sea, so I agreed.

As for the rest, his actions are admired by many people.

Not only did he not seek personal gain for Ji, but he also acted fairly, which disappointed many people who wanted to see him lively!

What about being young and energetic?What about getting carried away as promised?
Ji Song, who is less than [-] years old, behaves steadily like an old fox. Even Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others admire him with admiration!Li Shimin, who single-handedly pushed him to this position, was even more satisfied. Not only did he praise Ji Song many times in public for being mature and prudent, conscientious, hard-working and flexible, he became a role model for all officials.

Hearing this, Ji Song felt a little embarrassed, so he increased the height of the documents piled on the copy.
"Dad, you are here, you have kept me searching for a long time!"

Just when he was thinking about how to deal with it if someone saw through his fishing nature, Ji Ze's voice suddenly came!
This boy was sent by his grandmother and mother to take care of Ji Song. They have been together basically for the past six months. Only when Ji Song was at work, he would go to Chongwen Hall to read or do his own things.

One time, the eldest grandson saw him thinking about something. Although he couldn't understand it, he seemed to be very powerful.So a small courtyard was specially set aside for him for his research.

A lot of things happened during this period. Some princes and grandsons said that Ji Song was disabled behind his back, and somehow it reached Ji Ze's ears.

It's good now. Ji Ze, who has always been quiet, completely let people know this time that Ji's second son is not very hot either.

The Li family, who started out as a soldier, did not give up the education of martial arts after becoming a royal family, and even became more strict than before.Therefore, all princes have a certain amount of force.

But in Ji Ze's eyes, these are just showpieces.

This kid came to the crowd like no one else was around and said that everyone here is rubbish.Everyone was stunned at first, but then became furious.

I have never seen such an arrogant person in my whole life. Without saying a word, I started fighting regardless of the teachers' dissuasion.

But the result was unfortunate. The six or seven princes and grandsons who fought almost as well as Ji Ze were all knocked down in less than half a cup of tea.This matter reached the ears of the queen, and after knowing the whole story, she beat everyone up again.

When I met Ji Ze in the palace, these people all walked around, completely losing their previous arrogance!
Li Shimin was also very angry when he learned about it. He can talk about Ji Song's affairs and scold him, but why should others?If word spreads, will the reputation of the royal family be lost?

So with a wave of his hand, he drove several people directly to Taibai Academy.He also ordered Li Tai and Li Ke who were in the academy to keep strict watch on them. If they didn't obey the discipline, they would just be beaten to death.

But in this case, he knew Ji Ze's ability. Ji Ze, who used to be quiet and like a girl, actually had such force?Why haven't you heard that before?

He wanted to train this kid, but Ji Song refused.

As for the reason, Li Shimin later understood it, and in the end he could only sigh and not mention it again!
Looking at the second son in front of him, Ji Song also had a lot of emotions. Yesterday he was just a little man, but now he has become a big boy.

In addition to Ji's successful practice of the nameless guidance technique, this boy has become famous. Although he is not tall, only he knows how much power this body contains!
However, this kid is also quiet and has no intention of showing off. He has not been known to anyone for many years, even his mother does not know.

"What? What do you want to do with dad? It doesn't seem like it's time yet, right?"

He thought this boy was taking him home, but look at the sky, it was still early!
"father!"

Ji Ze was speechless. He was wondering if he was his father's biological son?

"My eldest brother will get married in three days."

Looking at his speechless son, he was even more confused!
Only then did he remember that his eldest son was about to get married to the prince's legitimate daughter, Li Yu.It seemed that You Ning had taken the blame last time, but he didn't care at the time. His mother and You Ning had always been in charge of this matter, and he was too busy all day to take care of it.

I just didn’t expect it to arrive in a blink of an eye?

"Okay, isn't dad so busy that he forgot?"

After saying that, he had no intention of staying here anymore and said directly: "Let's go home!"

"My son is already married, who still has the time to deal with official duties?"

Then he explained to Cheng Yaojin who was walking leisurely, and then wrote a memorandum asking for leave. When writing, he asked for one month's leave with one stroke of his pen.

After that, he was pushed out of Wuying Pavilion by his son under the gaze of the confused Cheng Yaojin!
"So, I have to deal with official business again this month?"

Cheng Yaojin pointed at his nose and said to Li Ji.

"if not?"

Li Ji rolled his eyes and said annoyed.

"No, I have to ask for leave. No matter what, I am the elder of the two children. It doesn't make sense if I don't go. I'm just watching here. The big seal is on the table. You can handle the things here. I'll take the first step. !”

After saying that, he ran away, leaving only Li Ji messy in the wind.
"That's it?"

When he found the big seal pressed down by many documents, he suddenly lost any interest in this location.How does he feel that the things he values ​​​​can be discarded at any time in the eyes of others?

Ji Song didn't know that Cheng Yaojin handed the seal to Li Ji in a blink of an eye, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

As soon as he walked to the door of his house, he almost didn't recognize him.

"Is this our home?"

Ji Ze was also confused and said uncertainly: "Maybe. Maybe?"

Everything was fine when I went out in the morning, but why has everything changed so much when I came back?
There were only six big red lanterns hanging, the door had just been painted, and the big lion in front of the door had been scrubbed spotless. The disgusting Liu Laoer was actually breathing on the lion's butt?

"Wang!"

A dog barking brought him back to his senses.Dahuang came up to him with an aggrieved look and put his head on his lap.Don’t know what kind of grievance you are suffering from?
"Hey, why are you back, Master?"

Lao Liu trotted over sweating profusely, but Ji Song's face turned dark when he heard his words!

"What did you say? Why can't I come back to my house?"

Then he pointed at Dahuang and said: "Who bullied Dahuang? Look at Dahuang."

Old Liu was stunned, he really didn't know about this.So he ran to ask, and after a while he came back in embarrassment and said: "The mistress didn't like Dahuang's kennel being in the way of the place, so"

Got it!
The real culprit was found, it turned out to be You Ning's fault!

"Dahuang, there's nothing I can do about this. How about you suffer for a few days? Then you can move back when it's over?"

Dahuang seemed to understand what he said and gave his master a humane look.That look in his eyes seemed to say: That's it?
But what can Ji Song say?I can’t afford to offend myself!
