Ji Tang

Chapter 1194 If I have something to do, my son will do my best!
"As for joining forces with the Tang Dynasty to attack Dashi, in fact, everyone just listens. With their ability, they can protect themselves now, let alone attack. At most, they can contain the western forces of the Dashi and prevent them from moving their troops eastward. "

He smiled and said: "Actually, this is not bad. I have sent the letter to His Majesty, and you should have received it by now. My suggestion is to reply to the letter and promise the alliance that if they can seize the Red Sea area, our Datang even You can trade directly with them, these are not problems.”

"I just don't know if His Majesty will yell at you in Taiji Hall after receiving your letter. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with me. When the time comes, Your Majesty will cause you trouble, so don't drag me along!"

Cheng Yaojin felt a toothache when he thought of Ji Song sending the original letter to the emperor. Only this kid could do this. If it were to be done on someone else, he would at least have to peel off his skin!

"Cough cough!"

Ji Song smiled awkwardly and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Pingyang, who said to Cheng Yaojin: "Oh? Tell me, what kind of evil thing did this kid do to make you like this?"

"Hey, you should ask him about this, I don't dare to say it!"

Pingyang looked at Ji Song, raised his eyebrows, and said with a half-smile, "Then you can tell me something and make me happy?"

"Ha, what's that!"

Ji Song's eyes wandered from side to side, and he said with a guilty conscience: "It's nothing, I just forgot to translate for Your Majesty, but with Your Majesty's talent, you can learn it with practice, so that's nothing, right?"

Pingyang was stunned, thinking of the emperor sitting in the Tai Chi Hall stupidly reading a completely incomprehensible letter, and suddenly felt unbearable to look at it.

Snapped!
Without saying a word, he patted Ji Song on the neck and said with a dark face: "Looking at the good things you have done, are you happy to embarrass His Majesty? Do you still act like a minister?"

"Don't fight, don't fight!"

He quickly begged for mercy: "Didn't I repent immediately? I sent the translated letter out the next day. It should, probably, maybe arrive at the same time, right?"

Pingyang was speechless, holding his forehead, and said with a kind of hatred: "You kid, you have no good intentions, let's see what the emperor will do with you when he gets back. Anyway, don't bother me about this matter. Just accept the emperor's beating!"

Ji Song was immediately dumbfounded, no such thing!

"Hehe, you are asking for it. Why are you provoking His Majesty if you have nothing to do? I think you are just free." Chai Shaoye chuckled and gloated.

"Mr. Xi, you... ugh!"

Xu Jingzong looked anxious. How could he offend the big boss in the blink of an eye when he had just taken refuge?

"Old Xu, why are you so anxious? Your Majesty can at most give him a beating for this matter. It's no big deal. Just feel at ease!"

Xu Jingzong looked confused, thinking to himself, are you talking about the emperor?Thinking of His Majesty the Emperor, whom I respected and feared, I suddenly shuddered.
-
Just when there was heavy snowfall in the Western Regions, Chang'an was also covered by heavy snow, with light snow falling down. The solemn and solemn palace was like a heavenly palace, looming in the snow.

At this time, everyone in the Tai Chi Hall looked at me, I looked at you, and then looked at the emperor who was sitting at the top, turning over letters in his hands. They were a little baffled!
Sighing, Li Shimin put down the letter that he had read countless times. Under his calm appearance, he had already scolded Ji Song.

Good fellow, you sent me an urgent letter, but it was all written in foreign characters, and he couldn’t understand a word of it!
I understand, this guy just wants to see me make a fool of myself.He hated that bastard in his heart and glared at Ji Run who was standing under His Majesty Dan's guard. He was frightened by the sight. He didn't know how he had offended the emperor.
"Ji Run!"

"Chen is here!"

"Go find your cousin Ji Qi, and be quick!"

Ji Run felt 1 puzzled, but still handed over his hand and said: "No!"

Seeing this kid go out, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the confused people below and forced a smile: "Everyone rest in the side hall for now, I'll be back soon!"

After saying that, he didn't care about everyone's expressions. He gave the prince next to him a wink and came to the back hall.

"Father, what happened? What happened to you just now?"

Snapped!
He saw the letter in his father's hand being thrown into his arms. He glanced at his father doubtfully. When he saw that it was Ji Song who sent it, he was shocked. However, when he opened it, the corners of his mouth twitched. .

Putting away the letter, he looked at his father with some anxiety and said, "Did your minister say that he forgot your letter?"

boom!
"Trust you, big head!"

Li Shimin completely ignored the emperor's majesty and started using foul language, which showed that he was very angry.

"Don't say nice things for that bastard. That kid just wants to see my joke. He is so lawless. Do you think that because the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, I can't do anything to him?"

However, it seems that there is really nothing that can be done to him for the time being.

Thinking of this, he became even more angry and said angrily: "Go, wait for that little bastard Ji Run to come back and send him to stand outside. I can't do anything to his father, and I can't do anything to his son?"

Li Chengqian became anxious when he heard this, and said quickly: "Farewell, father. As the saying goes, every injustice has its owner, so go find the rightful owner. What's the point of bullying a junior? After all, he is also your husband and your grandson-in-law. ah!"

Yes, the emperor does not love his grandson-in-law, but as the father-in-law, he still has to protect his son-in-law.

When Li Shimin heard this, he became even more angry and said: "Go, go, go, no one who can make me worry, get out of here!"

"Hey, what's going on? Who can I tell you to get out?"

Li Chengqian was overjoyed when he heard this voice, turned around and greeted him quickly: "Mother, you have to make the decision for me. Ziyi doesn't know how to make his father unhappy, but he is far away, so he can't vent his anger, and now he has to What kind of thing is it to take out your anger on your grandson-in-law? You have to judge!"

Changsun was shocked and thought something was going on in the Western Region.

"Your Majesty, what is going on? Never trust others easily!"

"You and I both know that child, and he will never do anything outrageous. We won't tell you until we find out!"

Li Chengqian and Li Shimin, father and son, were stunned when they heard this. Then they thought about it and realized that she had misunderstood.

"Hey, hey, stop guessing, it's not what you think!"

Li Shimin had no choice but to tell what happened just now and said angrily: "This bastard only cares about eating and not fighting. He doesn't want to fight well. He still wants to see me make a fool of himself. Let him wait. When he comes back, I have to beat him up." !”

"Hey!" Changsun frowned immediately, pointed at Li Chengqian and cursed in silence: "Look at what your brother is doing. If you can't punish him, then punish his son. There is no need to discuss this matter!"

Li Chengqian's face suddenly turned dark. Who are these people?
Li Shimin felt comfortable now, drank tea, ate cakes, and said with satisfaction: "Well, it tastes good!"

The eldest grandson refilled the hot tea for the emperor and asked curiously: "What do you think this messenger said? Is it urgent? And it was sent urgently by the falcon, and the big seal on it doesn't look like it can be used by ordinary people. I don't know. Who wrote it?"

"No need to guess. Although I don't recognize these characters, I have seen them. If I remember correctly, they should be the characters of the Far West. I just don't know who they are. But I really want to call Ji, who grew up in the Western Regions. That’s weird, he’s familiar with snatching words, he should be able to recognize them!”

Just as they were talking, Ji Run hurriedly walked in, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the people are here!"

"Eh? Your Majesty, you are here too!"

The eldest grandson looked at him with a half-smile but waved his hand and said, "Now that you've finished your work, go and stand outside. When His Majesty lets you go, leave again. If you dare to cheat, watch your skin carefully!"

"what?"

Ji Run was stunned and looked at the faces of the eldest grandson and the emperor suspiciously, as if he was exploring something!
"Ah, what, why don't you go quickly? If you want to blame, blame your careless me, get out of here!"

Dizzy, Ji Run walked to the snow outside the main hall and stood in the snow. Everyone in the side hall looked at each other. I wonder why the young master had offended the emperor and was forced to stand in the snow?
"Everyone, please move to the main hall, His Majesty will be here soon!"

Chen Shou appeared in front of everyone and said with a smile.

At this time, an old man in imperial robes came forward, cupped his hands and said, "Servant Chen, could you tell me what my grandson committed and was punished for standing?"

This old man was none other than Xie Lian, Ji Run's grandfather. His grandson was forced to stand in the snow for no reason. As a grandfather, he had to ask questions clearly.

What's more, this boy is the son of his son-in-law who is fighting outside. It is really unjustifiable to be punished at this time. People who don't know better think that his son-in-law has committed something!
"Thank you, Shangshu, don't think too much. This is the Queen's decree. It's better for you not to interfere too much."

Glancing at Ji Run who was standing outside like Song, Chen Shounan smiled and said, "What can happen to the relationship between the boy and the empress? It's just the elders teaching the younger ones a lesson."

Xie Lian thoughtfully nodded and said, "Thank you, chamberlain, for clearing up the confusion!"

"I don't dare. Thank you, Minister, for your invitation. Don't keep Your Majesty waiting!"

"Please!"

Ji Qi stood a little cramped in the center of the hall. Although he had received elite education and inheritance from the Ji family in the past few years, after all, the time was still short, and he could not compare with Ji Run, who had grown up in the palace since childhood.

He was taking a nap at home. Before he could figure out what was going on, he was grabbed by his impatient cousin and told that he was summoned by His Majesty.When he woke up, he almost frightened him to death.I wonder if some of the things he did in the Western Regions were discovered?
He had a lot of plans in the Western Region at the beginning. Although most of the properties are now handed over to the royal family, he has secretly kept some.He has been developing in secret over the years, and in order not to be discovered, he has rarely contacted him.

He hurriedly arrived at the palace and was watched by so many people. His mentality of traveling through the Western Regions for many years was about to collapse.

"Are you Ji Qi?"

The emperor's question came from above. Ji Qi didn't dare to think about it anymore and replied: "It's Xiaomin!"

"Xiaomin?"

Li Shimin grinned and said with some dissatisfaction: "You are not a commoner. If I remember correctly, you are still holding the position of Cavalry Commander. Why? I haven't seen you for so long. Are you dissatisfied with me?"

Ji Qi's face turned pale, and then she remembered the official position that her mother had won for her, but wasn't it a false position?No one told him to be on duty?

Yu Chigong, who had closed his eyes to meditate, couldn't stand it anymore, and he didn't want to bully others like this.Chu Li said: "Your Majesty, Ji Qi does have a temporary post in the palace, but because he has not accomplished his studies, he has been studying at home. This is allowed by your Majesty."

Li Shimin suddenly realized it, slapped his forehead and said: "Look at my memory, I am really old!"

"Okay, I have called you here today for something important, Chen Shou!"

"promise!"

Chen Shou came to Ji Qi holding a letter in both hands and whispered: "Don't be nervous, come and read this letter!"

letter?Ji Qi was stunned. She never thought that calling him here was because of a letter?

"Young people, I obey your orders!"

I took the letter, which was written on a piece of silk. It was thin, but it looked a little old.After opening it, when I saw the text above, I was stunned.

"What? Do you know the words above?" Li Shimin urged.

Ji Qi frowned and said: "Reporting to your majesty, this is the Greek writing of the Far West. This writing is widely spread in the Far West, and many countries are using this writing."

"However, this letter is written to your Majesty. The person writing the letter is an autographed letter from the current emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, which we call the Byzantine Empire!"

"Signed to Constantine II"

When the name was finally mentioned, he exclaimed!

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Why is there anything special about this person?"

At this time, Ji Qi knew that he had just been rude, and said quickly: "Report to your majesty, Constantine II is the emperor of the Byzantine Empire. He was eleven or twelve years old. He eliminated the bad government and began to take charge of the government at a young age. Since taking office, he has not only resisted He lived there despite the cannibals' encroachments, and he also led his army to repel the cannibals' attacks many times. At that time, he thought that the wise and powerful emperor had high prestige in the far west."

Hearing this boy praising another emperor in front of him made Li Shimin feel a little uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything.Just listening to him talk about the deeds of the second emperor, I knew that this emperor was not simple.

". Salute to His Excellency the Emperor of the Eastern Great Tang Empire. Since he came to the throne, he has eliminated bad government and resisted the Great Eclipse. I heard that there is a great country in the East and said: Great Tang, defeated the pagans on the sea to the Great Eclipse. Now I heard that the great Eclipse thieves are still determined to expand to the heart. Just like the boundless sea, I am worried about the attack on the Tang Dynasty. He destroyed his family and kingdom, and his crime should be punished. However, the glory of the great Roman Empire is no longer there. Every time I think about it, it breaks my heart. But we are willing to inherit the legacy of our predecessors. Restore the glory of the Roman Empire. Rome is willing to contain the Western armies for the Tang Dynasty and prevent them from sending troops eastwards. Although I don’t know if it can help your country, but Rome is powerless. I hope the Tang Dynasty can win a great victory. If I If you hear it, you will drink it and celebrate it."

The letter was very long, and there were many new words at the end, which made it difficult for Ji Qi to translate. In the end, he could only say helplessly: "Your Majesty, Greek characters are different from Chinese characters. Every time there is a new thing, there will be a new meaning." Words appeared, but I haven’t learned the new Greek writing for many years, so.”

Seeing Ji Qi who was a little embarrassed, Li Shimin laughed and said, "You don't have to be modest. It's already good enough to translate this. It's just that when a new thing appears, a new text needs to be created. If it takes a long time, who can Remember them all? At that time, my Chinese characters were broad and profound. No matter what new things appeared, I could combine them to create characters. I admire the abilities of my ancestors!"

Ji Qi lowered his head and cracked his mouth, thinking that you would be happy.
