Ji Tang

Poyang Lake, also known as Penglize, Pengze, Guanting Lake, Yanglan, and Danshi Lake in ancient times, is the largest inland freshwater lake in the Tang Dynasty. Its water area is only smaller than that of the West Sea.

The vast water area has diverse natural landforms, and there are many islands in the lake. Since the lake area at this time was much larger than that in later generations, there were many islands in the lake, with the largest area covering thousands of acres. When the mansion was first built, I chose here.

There are also many lake islands in the surrounding area, with different sizes, and they are not far from the mainland. On the island in the middle of the lake, there is a hill dozens of feet above the water. Not only is the scenery beautiful, but it also looks like a fairyland in rainy and foggy weather.

Riding the boat on the lake, Ji Zheng looked unwilling, but there was nothing he could do. I missed such a good opportunity, and my heart was bleeding.

But Ji Song doesn't care about this. As the head of the family, he should be impartial and try to be fair and just in everything. The Ji family is not a small family. There are thousands of people in the clan, and most of them are doing well.

Maybe it was nothing in Chang'an, but locally it was a big family in the same place. It's okay if he doesn't come. Now that he comes to Xuanzhou, he can't be remote. No matter whose house he goes to, he will definitely make other people dissatisfied. It's better not to go. It's not like he doesn't have a place to live here. Even if he doesn't, buying a house will be a good idea for him. Words are not a big deal.

Standing on the bow of the ship, looking at the islands in the clouds and mist, Ji Song was filled with emotion. The scenes in Xuanzhou seemed to be right in front of him. Logically speaking, given his status, he should not be let out. But at the beginning, in order to go further, Li Shimin still placed himself as the governor.

In addition, Li Shimin had the idea to make all the important ministers of the court as local governors, in order to divide the forces of various families. But contrary to expectations, what difference does this hair accessory make to most people?

Many people thought that the nobles of the clan were hereditary governors, but they were wrong. This was just Li Shimin's desire to drive away the noble ministers who had great influence in the court. Because there is not much real power except a name.

This matter was strongly opposed by Yu Zhining, Changsun Wuji and others. Changsun Wuji even asked his daughter-in-law Princess Changle to enter the palace to plead for mercy in order to avoid the matter.

"I have braved all obstacles to serve His Majesty, and now there is peace in the country. Why should I be abandoned in another state? How is this different from exile?"

In the end, because there were so many opponents, Li Shimin had to give up the idea.

At that time, it was said like this: "The cession of land to grant meritorious officials has a common meaning in ancient and modern times. It is intended that the public heirs will assist my descendants and pass on forever. However, the public has expressed resentment again. How can I force the public to use the soil as evil!"

But this matter affected later generations. Although later emperors never mentioned the issue of enfeoffing governors, the separatist regime of vassal towns had actually been formed during Li Longji's period. This was also one of the reasons that led to the sudden collapse of the Ming Dynasty at its peak.

Ji Song himself was the same. He was named the governor of Xuanzhou. For a long time, there was no governor in Xuanzhou, and the chief governor handled government affairs on his behalf.

However, although he did not explicitly object, he never asked about Xuanzhou affairs. Even if Chang Shi sent documents, he would just call them back and let them handle it on their own.

In the end, this matter could not be implemented and was completely abandoned a few years ago.

bang~

The ship docked, and Ji Song also came out of his thoughts.

"Let's go, I haven't been here for a long time, and I don't know what it's like now? When I left, the plum tree was less than a person tall, but now I'm afraid it has become a towering tree!"

When everyone walked ashore, they saw plum blossoms in full bloom, pink, red and white.

"so beautiful!"

You Ning, Xiao Lian, and Xiao Zhu were all shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of them. Even Liu Laoer, the old man, was lost for a moment.

"Okay, okay, I didn't expect that my whim could create such a beautiful scene? Come on, let's go take a look!"

When everyone was among the plum blossoms, the subtle fragrance hit them, and they felt as if they had entered a fairyland. The children all stared blankly at the sea of ​​blooming flowers. This is a scenery that cannot be seen in Chang'an.

A gust of breeze came, and the petals floated by everyone, and everyone was drunk.

"Let's call this island Plum Blossom Island from now on!" Ji Song said on a whim. How could such a beautiful scenery remain unknown?

"Plum Blossom Island? An island with plum blossoms in full bloom. What a good name!" Ji Zheng praised.

"Let's go in and take a look!"

Walking through the plum blossoms, I soon came to a mansion and wrote "Plum Garden". I wrote this myself when I left! This yard is not big, covering an area of ​​less than three acres. It is divided into three entrances. The outermost is a large garden with rockery, strange rocks, and spring water flowing from the hill, forming a small waterfall on the rockery. .

After letting everyone settle down, he came to the back house. When he saw a courtyard on the right, he froze because there was a pavilion there, where the kitten used to practice his piano skills.

He withdrew his gaze and started walking casually in the yard. Everything from the past appeared in front of his eyes. Time passed by, but he didn't expect to return to this place after so many years.

Opening the study, the layout is still the same as when I left, and it is not stained with dust. It can be seen that someone is cleaning it from time to time!

"Master? Is that you?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind Ji Song, and he was stunned. Looking back, he saw a woman wearing plain clothes standing in front of him.

The delicate face, without any makeup, looked like she was only around 27 or 28 years old. Her skin was like cream, and there was a hint of melancholy in her surprised eyes. Even though he was used to seeing beauties, Ji Song was a little stunned.

"Are you the violinist who taught Kitty?" Ji Song said in surprise.

Qinglian's eyes darkened. Didn't he even remember his own name? Also, the other party is the high-ranking Duke of the State of Xi, and I am just a female entertainer. How can anyone let the other party remember him by myself?

"Slave Qinglian pays homage to the master!"

Ji Song was a little embarrassed, he really couldn't remember her name.

"No need to be polite, why are you here?" Ji Song asked curiously.

The original purpose of inviting him here was to teach the kitten how to play the piano. If he left, she should leave as well. Why would he appear here?

"Please forgive me, sir!"

Qinglian's face turned pale and she knelt down.

"what happened?"

Just when Ji Song didn't know how to deal with it, You Ning came over. When he saw the woman kneeling on the ground, he carefully checked and said in surprise: "Are you Qing Lian?"

"Greetings, madam, you are my slave!" Qinglian lowered his head and said.

You Ning glanced at Qinglian with complicated eyes, pulled her up, and said to Ji Song: "Husband, how about leaving this matter to me?"

Ji Song was stunned. He glanced at Qinglian who lowered his head and said nothing, and then looked at Youning whose eyes were wrong. He always felt that there was something hidden from him.

But I am a man after all, so I might as well leave it to my wife.

"Well, I'll go somewhere else!"

It wasn't appropriate for him to stay here, so he turned around and walked out, but what he didn't know was that there was a clear, beautiful eye that kept looking at his back until he could no longer see it (End of Chapter)
