Ji Tang

Ji Song never thought about why the emperor did this? Suppression of coastal areas? But then he thought about it and understood that the fiefdom of Yizhou was not hereditary, but temporary.

Just to put it bluntly, when did the emperor become so generous and grant such a large place to himself?

But at the same time, this is also a hot potato. He has almost all the ministers under house arrest this time. No matter how good-tempered he is, he will probably hate himself to death. After all, they have received such great benefits, but they have received nothing. Now I am afraid that they will become the target of public criticism in the court!

"Your Majesty, you are putting your ministers on the fire!" Ji Song said with a bitter smile.

Li Shimin was noncommittal and just said: "I can't control this, so you can make up your own mind. Anyway, from now on, Yizhou will be the base and private land of the Nanyang Navy Fleet. The imperial court will no longer issue military pay. All military pay will be paid by the local people in Yizhou." Raise money. If the soldiers are hungry, it's your responsibility."

In fact, Li Shimin didn't say anything. It seemed that Yizhou was only temporarily handed over to Ji Song, but Ji Song still had at least twenty or thirty years to live. During this period, anything could happen. If it becomes Ji's in the future, It's okay, it's just an island hanging offshore. It’s quite big, but so what?

If the imperial court cannot even manage a single island in the future, then it will be what it deserves!

A life and death situation made him look down on it a lot. His move not only wanted Ji's family to develop its power outwards, but also restrained Ji Song. This is a conspiracy. Even if Ji Song knows his plan, he can only do it according to his own ideas because he has no choice!

Having offended so many people this time, it is okay that Ji Song is here, but if he is gone, the descendants of the Ji family may not be able to protect themselves from retaliation. But it's different with Yizhou. He will leave his will to the prince. Yizhou gives it to Ji at the right time, which can be regarded as leaving a way out for them!

He has been the emperor for so many years, and people's hearts have already seen clearly that only interests are eternal and everything else is false!

He waved his hand, turned around and closed his eyes.

Ji Song had no choice but to follow his eldest grandson outside the hall!

"You should understand what His Majesty means. I won't say much here. In short, this is for your own good. After all, you are not alone!"

Ji Song nodded: "I understand, but Your Majesty is putting me on the fire!"

With a wry smile, he didn't understand that Yizhou would be Ji's retreat, but he had already found it, and it was so far away from the Central Plains that you wouldn't be able to find it in a hundred years. He had never thought about gathering all the Ji clan members together. That would be a sure way to die, and they would be finished at some point.

Forget it, just think of it as a fiefdom, and hand it over to the court when you leave, so that no one will worry about it!

The eldest grandson brought Ji Song to the steps in front of the hall and stopped. He looked a little lonely and said, "You have to take care. There are fewer and fewer people you are familiar with. In a few years, it may be my turn."

But then he laughed and said: "Okay, go and do your work, I'll be here to watch over you!"

Ji Song glanced at his eldest grandson worriedly, but he didn't see anything. He had no choice but to bow and leave!

When he returned to Wuying Pavilion, he saw everyone, led by Cheng Yaojin and others, standing at the door, staring at him. Everyone had different expressions, some were worried, some were nervous, and some were even more anxious!

"Why are you all staying here? Are you here to welcome me?" Ji Song said with a smile.

Seeing the smile on Ji Song's face, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that His Majesty was fine. This made many people, especially some veteran ministers, breathe a sigh of relief.

It's no wonder, after all, they are once emperor and only courtiers. Once the emperor, if these old ministers did not have the duty to take care of their lives, they would all slowly fade out of the court.

But now that the prince is in his prime, how could His Majesty arrange for the prince to be restrained by the position of a minister who cares about life? Therefore, once the prince ascends the throne, there will inevitably be another major change of blood in the court!

"Okay, okay, go ahead and do what you have to do, don't gather here anymore!"

Changsun Wuji was the oldest here. As soon as he spoke, everyone slowly dispersed, and in the end there were only a few people left.

"Ziyi, you always tell me, Your Majesty." Cheng Yaojin's words made everyone look over. Ji Song had no intention of hiding it. After all, nothing could be hidden tomorrow.

"It's a mixed bag, your Majesty is awake, but your body is..." He didn't say it clearly, he just shook his head, but everyone understood what he meant!

"You bastard, I'm going to kill them all and assassinate His Majesty? I'll let him know the consequences of doing so!"

Cheng Yaojin immediately became jealous when he heard Ji Song's words. After saying that, he took the horizontal knife and wanted to leave the palace to settle the score with those people.

"Lao Cheng, wait for me. How can I be without me, Lao Liu, now? Let's go together."

"Everyone, stop!"

Ji Song looked at them with a dark face and said nothing, just looking at them like this!

Bang~

Cheng Yaojin threw the knife to the ground and squatted directly on the ground.

"Isn't it chaotic enough for you?"

"Go, go right away and kill them all?"

"Who do you think you are? Do you want to cause more trouble?"

"How old are you, yet you can't keep your composure? Do you believe it? Those people may have run away long ago, and the ones left behind now are probably all insignificant people. What's the use of killing them? Apart from letting His Majesty take the responsibility What else can you get from the notoriety of murder?”

"Haha, they are now eager for you to kill their whole family now. That would be great. You have completely driven all the people who are worried about being implicated to a dead end. Isn't it not enough to dislike the chaos in Chang'an? You also want to bring chaos to the entire Tang Dynasty. Get up?"

"Everyone, come in!"

Ji Song entered Wuying Pavilion without looking back and stood at the top. Then several people looked at each other and all came to the main hall obediently.

"From now on, everyone in Qilin Pavilion should go back to work. You have all received His Majesty's orders. Okay, let's all disperse!"

After saying that, he also started to leave. Liu Hongji said stupidly: "What are you going to do?"

Ji Song glanced at him and said angrily: "Of course someone is sleeping, aren't you still not sleepy these days?"

Uh~

Everyone has black hair, and fools are not tired. No matter Ji Song, no one has had much rest in the past few days. The emperor is unconscious, and there are still troublemakers in the city. If they are not careful, there will be a huge disturbance. They It’s weird to be able to fall asleep!

"Grandma, let's go home and sleep!"

Cheng Yaojin left with a dark face without saying anything. Everyone who stayed behind looked at each other and finally left one by one.

However, no matter who it was, he felt relieved. His Majesty would just wake up and some of the previous preparations could be given up. For His Majesty, they know that as long as they wake up, everything is out of their control. They will just wait for the news!

Of course Ji Song knows that they have some little thoughts, who doesn't? Even he himself was prepared for the worst. When he walked out of the palace, he shook his head at a pedestrian in the distance, couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep in his wheelchair. Liu Laoer quickly covered his master with a thick blanket, and then pushed his wheelchair in the direction of the Duke's Mansion.
