Ji Tang

A light is like a bean.

When Ji Song came to the study, he just sat there blankly. He picked up the pen several times and then put it down again. He didn't know what the consequences would be if this letter was released. This feeling of being unprepared and without any control was really difficult for him. install!

If he was discovered in advance at this time, he would not be so passive. He would have countless ways to cover it up, and even turn a major event into a trivial one.

现在
He smiled bitterly: "It's difficult!"

He is not an indecisive person. He will start writing quickly after thinking for a moment.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"Wei Chen Ji Song buckles up!"

"."

This writing lasted all night, and I revised and revised it on the way. It was not until dawn that I completed the memorial of more than ten pages. He dried the ink and wanted to call Liu Laoer, but then he thought that the bastard had been kicked by him so much that he vomited blood, and he might not be able to get out of bed for a short time.

After thinking for a moment, he put away the memorial and left the room.

"master!"

As soon as he came out, he saw his wife coming with hot porridge. Ji Song smiled, picked up the hot porridge and drank it in one gulp. He wiped his mouth casually, patted the back of his wife's hand, and comforted: "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." !”

"Be obedient and go back and have a good rest. You'll be fine in a few days!"

After saying that, he told the maid: "Go and take Madam to rest!"

"Yes, sir!"

You Ning's face was full of worry, but he understood that there was nothing she could do to help at this time.

"Master" You Ning exclaimed.

Ji Song turned around and gave him a reassuring smile, then waved and walked towards the door.

This time he didn't bring anyone with him. He stopped and stopped along the way, either selling some breakfast at this stall, or bargaining with the stall owner. After a while, I came to an ordinary wine shop, glanced at a unique mark on it, and walked in without thinking.

"Shopkeeper, bring me a pot of Chang'an Chun, three pounds of mutton, and some side dishes to go with the wine!"

The shopkeeper who was settling accounts was stunned when he heard this. Stopping the guy who wanted to come forward, he stepped forward in person and said, "Where are you from, sir?"

Ji Song glanced at him with a half-smile but said, "Where are you coming from and where are you going? Why don't you ask more?"

After saying this, regardless of the other party's reaction, he turned around and left the liquor store.

"This guy is really weird. He ordered food and then left. Hey, look at it, shopkeeper."

It turned out that there was a gold coin left on the table, which made the waiter's eyes open. Although he received and delivered goods every day and collected a lot of money, this was the first time he saw a gold coin. You must know that it takes ten silver coins to exchange for one. Gold coins, and one silver coin are enough for a family to spend for a month.

"Look at this store, I have something to do when I go out, I just have to make the decision on my own!"

When the shopkeeper saw the gold coin, his eyes suddenly shrank, and a sentence suddenly came to his mind: Copper coins are nowhere to be found, and the silver light shines all over the state, and once they encounter real gold, they will travel in the Tang Dynasty.

This is the hierarchy of Baiqisi, because copper coins generally represent countless secrets. They are hiding in secret places, either as traffickers or lackeys, or as a scholar. How difficult it is to find them! Only the people holding special copper coins are the backbone.

The silver light shines all over a state, which means that when you meet a person holding money, he is the highest person in charge of the state.

The last sentence is even simpler. The person holding the gold coin is Datang Xingxing, a person who belongs to the supervisory category. Their identity is secretive and noble, and they will not show up unless absolutely necessary. He had been sent here for ten years, but he never expected to meet such a person.

He walked out of the liquor store and hurried to a secret and remote house. After a while, a pigeon flew out of the yard.
Yongjiang River is the largest river in Mingzhou and flows straight into the sea.

On this day, a middle-aged man in a black suit came up from a small pier. He had his hands behind his back and looked into the distance without knowing what he was thinking.
bang~
There was a noise, and a small boat with only room for two people appeared at the pier. An old man on the boat shouted to the middle-aged man on the shore: "Do guests also cross the river?"

Ji Song glanced at the other person, and when he saw a familiar face, he nodded and smiled: "Of course!"

Stepping onto the fishing boat, the old man shouted: "Sir, sit down!"

Soon, the boat came to the middle of the river. At this time, the other party took off the hat on his head and solemnly said: "Nan Shisan, pay homage to Duke Tan!"

"Well, I didn't expect to meet you in this way. Things are so unpredictable!"

Ji Song sighed with emotion, took out a small bottle of wine, opened it, took a sip and handed it to the other party. Nan Shisan was not polite, his eyes lit up immediately after smelling it, and he took a big sip without saying a word.

"Chang'an Chun from Chang'an Zuixianlou, I never thought I could drink this wine again in my life, it's worth it!"

Ji Song smiled, this time I need you to send a letter to the palace. I can't trust the others, and the people in the palace are too attention-grabbing, so I thought of you!

After speaking, he took out a letter and handed it to the other party, but Nan Shisan said with a solemn expression: "Tell me the truth, this letter."

Ji Song knew what he wanted to say, so he interrupted directly, shook his head and said, "It's better that you don't know. Don't tell me that you don't know about Mingzhou Academy? If so, then you have really failed in Mingzhou."

Nan Shisan smiled awkwardly and did not refute. He just cupped his hands and smiled bitterly: "It's your responsibility, and you can't help yourself!"

"I understand, so I won't embarrass you. It won't be difficult for you to send a letter, right?"

Nan Shisan looked at the handed letter, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he didn't know what he thought of, so he finally gritted his teeth and took it.

"Fight hard, the worst I can do is repay you for saving my life back then!"

"Just wait for the news, three days at the latest!"

Ji Song nodded, three days? Is this going to involve falconry? But he wasn't surprised. As the person in charge of a state, it would be abnormal if he didn't even have this authority!
Nan Shisan, whose real name he didn’t know, was injured and disabled during the battle of Liaodong to destroy Goguryeo, and was finally taken away by the then commander of Baiqisi. However, there was no news about him again. He didn’t expect that he would be here like this. Charge again.

"Mr. Hao, it's not too late. I'll take care of it right away!" Nan Shisan also knew the seriousness of the matter. He had discovered something was wrong a long time ago and wanted to rule Gong Hao, but during the investigation, he discovered that this matter The public may not know about it at all, which makes him immediately give up the idea of ​​leaking the information.

There is no fool who can make a secret. He knew that once he leaked the information, it would not only not be helpful to Mr. Hao, but would even be self-defeating and drag him into the water.

So he reported it directly, thinking that the court would deal with it immediately, but who would have thought that nothing would happen. The last news that came was just to let him ignore it and just keep an eye on it.

Therefore, even though he knew that Mr. Xi had come to Mingzhou, he never contacted him. It was just a push in the dark. Otherwise, do you really think you would have discovered the problem as soon as you came to the academy?
And that list of subjects was sent out secretly by Ji Ze, even though he didn't hesitate to expose it. Now that clerk Anzi has been transferred elsewhere by him.
After landing on the shore, Nan Shisan was about to leave, but was stopped by Ji Song.

In Nan Shisan's confused look, Ji Song suddenly smiled: "Thanks!"

This thank you was said without any beginning or end, but both of them understood what it meant. Nan Shisan also smiled, waved his hand, and rowed away towards the distance.
Back at home, just when he was about to take a rest, he saw a declining figure exuding despair appearing in front of him. Ji Song fell to his knees when he saw him.

"Master."

Wu Mei was really scared. She didn't expect such a secret thing to be exposed so easily. When she saw the list, she almost fainted.

Why are these things on the normal list? This was obviously because someone under his command had revealed her true identity. She, who originally had the wisdom in her hands, was completely panicked.

What's more, I didn't expect that the master would be completely furious, and the husband would even risk everything for himself.

Thinking of the scenes since entering Ji's house, it seemed like it was in my own dream. His loving master, his wife who likes to nag but treats him meticulously, and the little cat who always quarrels and grabs things with him, but always rushes in front when he is bullied. Silly husband, lovely children.
All this seems to be far away from me at this moment
Ji Song glanced at him indifferently. He regretted it. Why had he so obsessed with Ji Ze that he agreed to Ji Ze's request and married this man-eating real dragon to him?
Thinking of what he did before and after he ascended the throne, yes, a real dragon that was originally a man-eater, how could he really put away his minions just because he was restrained?
"Come with me!"

Ji Song said softly as he passed by him.

A glimmer of hope suddenly flashed through Wu Mei's dull eyes, and she hurriedly followed, ignoring the dust on her skirt.

In the study, Ji Song was sitting on the chair, and Wu Mei was standing there, neither of them speaking.

Ji Song really couldn't figure out why she did this? Power? As the mistress of the Southern Sect of the Ji family, although the resources in her hands are not as good as the property in the hands of the royal eldest grandson, they are not far behind.

money? What a joke, when has Ji ever been short of money?

As for wanting to rebel and become emperor? Ji Song would not believe it even to death. Everyone has his or her own environment, and many actions and decisions are closely related to the environment.

She suffered a lot of damage when she was a child, but he has tried his best to make up for it over the years, even more than Duanmao and several other children. But she still made it this far.
"Tell me why!"

"I'm really curious. As the mistress of Ji's Southern Sect, you don't need to get wind or rain, but I think 99% of everything that can be obtained in this world can be obtained. What drives you to touch that thing? Don’t tell me you don’t know what it means to the Tang Dynasty? Or do you mean you don’t know how strong the imperial government is about that thing?”

"Who gave you the confidence to think you could hide it from the eyes and ears of the imperial court?"

"As my disciple, don't you know how terrifying the intelligence departments of the Tang Dynasty are? They are all trained by teachers!"

Wu Mei lowered her head and remained silent. Ji Song suddenly became angry and threw the tea cup on the table.

bang~
Wu Mei suddenly became excited, knelt down on the ground, and choked with sobs: "Master."

"Don't call me master, I don't have a bastard disciple like you who bullies his master and destroys his ancestors."

"Tell me, why? Are you willing to risk the lives of your whole family to satisfy your selfish desires? If you can't tell me one, two, or three today, I will chop you alive today!"

Wu Mei slumped on the ground, she smiled bitterly, and then explained what happened.
Ji Song just sat on the chair, listening to the other party's words. The anger in his heart was somehow reduced, but the coldness in his eyes still did not diminish at all.

No matter what the reason is, you should not risk your whole family, even your husband and children!

"A few years ago, by chance, I learned that many aristocratic families overseas were researching gunpowder and artillery. Even the power cannot be underestimated. I don't know since when, the existence of gunpowder is no longer a secret."

"If the Southern Sect of the Ji family wants to develop and establish a foothold overseas, these are indispensable. Whether they have it on hand and whether they can use it are two different things. But it is too far overseas, and I dare not let it be studied outside, for fear of hidden dangers. . In addition, there are many talented people in the academy. If we can use a little help, we can definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

"So, I dismantled many of them into many projects, divided them into pieces, and then let students study them, but who knew?"

Ji Song sneered: "Who knew everything was under the eyes of the imperial court?"

"Why didn't you tell me before?"

Wu Mei smiled bitterly: "Master, don't I know your temper? If you knew about this matter, you would definitely not agree to it. I just thought that when I make results, I would transfer it out so that God doesn't know. "Unconscious"

"Naive!" Ji Song sneered.

"Whether it is naive or ridiculous, all this is done by me and has nothing to do with my husband. He is either discussing knowledge with other scholars or teaching and educating people every day. He is completely unaware of it."

"Don't know? If you don't know, it's over? You believe it, I believe it, then go and ask the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty whether they believe it? Does the emperor believe it? Does everyone in the world believe it?"

Ji Song lamented: "Wu Mei, you have disappointed me so much. You have ambitions that many men don't have. I knew this from the first moment I saw you. I thought it was because of your childhood experience, so I have been making up for you all these years. At home, everything the kitten has, your mistress has, and your sister-in-law have, but which one is missing from you? "

"Among these children, I am the most partial to you. Even the kitten has been dissatisfied with it for a long time. But what about you? You did such a big thing privately. Do you regard the lives of the whole family so lightly?"

"No, no, I just don't want to hurt my family, that's why..." Wu Mei explained hurriedly.

"But you've already been implicated. Look, I'm no longer sure about being a teacher this time!"

"Isn't it just gunpowder? As for what makes you like this? Who made the gunpowder? Me, who made the artillery? Or me. As long as I think about it, I can make it in an instant, which is better than what the court has. The gunpowder is ten times better for artillery.”

"Don't you know that overseas aristocratic families study gunpowder as their masters? No, I know all this, and the court also knows it, because gunpowder is so simple, so simple that as long as you get the finished product, you can reverse the formula."

"The imperial court didn't intend to hide it for long from the beginning. It just hoped that it could be concealed for a while. When the imperial court develops a better one, what will happen even if they get the formula? Aren't everything under control?"

"But how did you do it? Still using the resources of the academy to conduct research within the Tang Dynasty? You are simply digging up the roots of the Tang Dynasty."

Ji Song was no longer in the mood to talk anymore. He waved his hand and said tiredly: "Get out!"

Wu Mei was about to speak but stopped, but seeing her master's eyes closed, she could only leave in disappointment (End of Chapter)
