Ji Tang

Chapter 1464 Open your heart!

Li Jiancheng was a little distracted for a moment after listening to his words, and sighed: "When Ji Song came to Beijing for the first time, Wei Zheng reminded me that this person is a great talent, and he must either conquer it or get rid of it. But at that time, I simply He didn't care, and said that he would be my minister sooner or later, but now it seems that he has made a mistake! "

"Is it more than just a mistake?"

Li Shimin recalled: "It's time for you to know some things. Do you still remember that day at Xuanwu Gate?"

"Remember, how could you not remember?" Li Jiancheng said calmly.

"But what you don't know is that it was him who saved your life. It was he who gave me the medicine to temporarily fake death in advance, and that saved you and my sister-in-law."

"What? Is it him?"

He looked at Li Shimin in disbelief and said, "Why is this?"

"I don't know!" Li Shimin shook his head.

"Perhaps he saw something. You don't know how far this kid can see. He already knows the ending of many things before they begin. Every time before we understand, the overall situation has already changed. Certainly."

"His presence has allowed Datang to avoid many detours and keep moving forward on the right path. He plays an indispensable role in making Datang what it is today!"

"In fact, with his merits, he should have been crowned king a long time ago, but I have been suppressing him. Sometimes I even have to do everything possible to plot against him and find some ridiculous things to suppress him." Li Shimin himself laughed when he said this. Come on, it’s true that I will spend the rest of my life battling with this guy.

"You are harming him!" Li Jiancheng shook his head and said: "I can tell from your words that you love him, and it has even exceeded the limit of a courtier."

"Since ancient times, how many kings with different surnames have ended up well? Even if you can tolerate him, your son can tolerate him, but what about your grandson and future emperors? With such a person with outstanding martial arts and high prestige, how many people can tolerate him? Can the emperor sleep?"

"So, I let go completely!" Li Shimin sighed: "You may not know, this guy is a stubborn donkey. He is the kind who won't be led away and will retreat. The tactics of Junjunchenchen are useless to him. These things If Nian and Guanyin hadn't shamelessly whipped him from behind, this guy would have disappeared long ago!"

"Not long ago, this guy took his family to the sea and stayed there for more than half a year. After coming back this time, he suddenly changed a lot. Although he was still lazy, he started to take the initiative to do things."

"."

Listening to Li Shimin's ramble, Li Jiancheng said directly: "Are you worried? Or scared!"

Seeing that Li Shimin wanted to argue, Li Jiancheng waved his hand and said: "You don't have to refute, I have also been a prince, and you can tell from your mist that he is powerful. If my guess is correct, you want him to come out to do things, You also hope that he will fade away from the court, right?"

"Yes!"

Li Shimin did not shirk the blame this time, but admitted it straight away, saying: "He has great talents, and he is also versatile in both civil and military affairs. Now that the veteran generals in the army are withering, he has actually become the leader in the army, whether he admits it or not. , that’s the truth. The military has always worshiped the strong, and he just meets all the requirements!”

"When I'm here, all the generals can suppress it, but if I'm gone, Cheng Qian might be able to, but he has to rely on him. Once..."

"You're worrying too much!"

Li Jiancheng smiled and said: "This is the so-called emperor's mind, and it is also the emperor's suspicion. You know that he will not, or will not do anything to Datang until it is absolutely necessary, but you are always worried that he will threaten the Tang Dynasty. Datang."

"As long as he has the ability, he will become the object of your suspicion. No one can help you with this."

"Either don't use him again from now on, or kill him. These are your only two choices."

"No way!" Li Shimin said with a bitter smile: "Do you think I haven't thought about it? But this guy is too smart. He has hung himself with life-saving charms. Once he really takes action, Datang will inevitably fall into unprecedented turmoil."

"The Jiangdong noble families, the Zheng family among the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Family, the Runan Zhou family which is not much inferior to them, and the nobles under my command, if they take action, the Tang Dynasty will definitely suffer heavy losses."

"This guy is also a man who knows how to advance and retreat. While constantly adding chips to himself, he also took the initiative to disperse the strength of the Ji family. He split the huge Ji family into pieces all over the world, even in distant Tubo and People from his Ji clan can be found in Dashi, Persia and even Rome in the far west!"

"A member of his Ji family actually relied on the relationship between the seven matrilines during the war between the Tang Dynasty and Dashi to become a principality under Persia after the war. Oh, it means a country within a country, and it is not weak! "

"Last year, his second son committed a crime. With his status, he could have been safe as long as he paid a small price. But he chose the most unexpected way to expel his second son from the Tang Dynasty and exile him overseas."

"I don't know anything else. If my guess is correct, that guy must have found a good place on the sea for his son to develop there."

Li Jiancheng was dumbfounded when he heard this. Are all big families now so big? Do you always want to build a country outside? In this way, the court cannot easily touch them. Once it does, it will inevitably cause an external war, and the price will be too high.

"What have you done all these years? Why do you always found a country outside? How did you become the emperor?" Li Jiancheng couldn't help but scolded.

Li Shimin rolled his eyes and said angrily: "That's better than them making trouble in the Central Plains and constraining the imperial court everywhere!"

"Don't be angry. This is the best outcome after a compromise between many parties. Although the Tang Dynasty is entrusted overseas, their strength has not developed for hundreds of years. Want to deal with the Tang Dynasty? Oh, just dream!"

"Without the support from the mainland, they would be beaten into prototypes in an instant, and there would be no need to worry at all."

Li Jiancheng was speechless, but he was a little too sensitive. Going overseas means losing their legitimacy and status. Even if there is internal chaos in the Tang Dynasty in the future, they may be able to dominate for a while, but it is unlikely to become a phenomenon in the Central Plains.

After all, the gap between the two sides is too big.

"Now those aristocratic families are gradually beginning to fade away from the court. Although their strength has increased, their relationships with overseas countries are more about mutual support, which can be regarded as a different kind of split!"

"It's a good way to kill without losing any blood. Both sides have to make concessions, and it's beneficial to both sides. No wonder they will walk out. Is this Ji Song's idea?"

"Not bad!"

"I was hesitant at the beginning, but now I think it is narrow-minded. I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the head of the Li family, but I am also the head of China. I also hope that China can always stand at the top of the world, even if The Central Plains is in chaos, and with these overseas territories there is the possibility of rising again. "

"Instead of."

He was a little embarrassed when he said this, Wu Huan Hua, their ancestors also had a share.

"There is nothing that cannot be said. My father has said that he is the emperor of the Han people. This is the foundation of our Li family. You have a big heart, and this is something you feel inferior to your brother, at least for now."

After speaking, he looked at the sky and sighed: "Okay, it's time for you to go!"

Li Shimin smiled when he heard this and was about to say something when he saw Chen Shou walking in. Li Shimin frowned, didn't he talk so as not to disturb others?

"Your Majesty, the emperor and Duke Xi want to see you!"

Li Shimin was stunned, and even Li Jiancheng was stunned, and couldn't help but said: "It's really evil. Just because he is here, is he here?"

Li Jiancheng hesitated to speak, but finally sighed and prepared to leave. "Brother, wait!"

Li Shimin paused and said to Chen Shou: "Go, let them come here!"

"Your Majesty." Chen Shou glanced at Li Jiancheng and said hesitantly.

"Go ahead, I haven't seen him for some years. Are you interested in meeting him, brother?" The last sentence was addressed to Li Jiancheng.

"This"

"Go, let them in!" Seeing his brother acting like this, how could he not know what he was thinking? So Chen Shou was sent away directly.

"promise!"
-
Li Chengqian and Ji Song were chatting outside. Li Chengqian couldn't help but said: "Is it still necessary? How many years has it been? The world has almost forgotten him!"

Ji Song glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "This is the Emperor's heart ailment. Let's treat it as a cure for his heart ailment."

"Your Majesty, Duke Xi, the Emperor has invited you!" At this time, Chen Shou came out and made an invitation gesture.

"Let's go, let's wait for Father to decide everything!"

Li Chengqian took the lead, and Ji Song followed, but the two of them were getting more and more out of place. They were almost out of Wanmin Palace!
"Hey, old man, are you suffering from Alzheimer's disease? Don't you even know the road?" Ji Song could make people angry to death with just one mouthful. Chen Shou was so angry that he trembled. Although he didn't know what Alzheimer's disease was, he couldn't even recognize the road. It’s not a good thing to hear.

"You just have Alzheimer's disease, and here comes the nonsense!" After speaking, he ignored him, but flattered Li Chengqian: "The Emperor is talking to that person, Your Majesty, please come with me!"

Li Chengqian was stunned. He looked at Ji Song and saw the surprise in the other's eyes. Isn't this a coincidence?

The two of them suppressed the doubts in their hearts and followed Chen Shou to the depths of the palace. There were obviously more guards here, and they were all elite. They didn't know how many people were watching overtly or covertly.

At this moment, hearty laughter suddenly came from the front. One of them was Li Shimin. They all recognized this. They had long been tired of hearing the constant laughter.

The other person looked familiar. Ji Song lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, while Li Chengqian was a little nervous.

"Ziyi, what do you think you should call me later?"

Ji Song glanced at him and said angrily: "You can call him whatever you want to call him. You still have to ask?"

"You" Li Chengqian was furious, but he had no choice but to give up as he was about to arrive!

Walking into a moon gate, Ji Song immediately saw a familiar figure, old and with white hair. I have also lost weight, but I am in good spirits!
"Look, our great hero from the Tang Dynasty is here!"

Li Shimin waved to the two of them and said, "Come, come here!"

Ji Song and Li Chengqian did not dare to neglect, and stepped forward to salute: "Greetings to my father!" "Greetings to your majesty!"

"I've met the old gentleman!" Ji Song said to Li Jiancheng.

Li Chengqian was stunned and said quickly: "Greetings to the old man."

"Ahem!" Ji Song coughed quickly.

Li Chengqian was stunned, and when he saw his father's face turning dark, he quickly changed his words: "My nephew has met my uncle!"

"There is no need to be polite. You are the emperor now. Wouldn't it be disrespectful to salute a rotten old man like me?" Li Jiancheng looked at Li Chengqian with interest. He had also hugged this child before, but later.
"No matter who your nephew is, you are his elder. It is the greatest etiquette to salute your elders!"

Li Chengqian's answer made Li Shimin very satisfied, but there was a look of disgust on his face: "This kid is just a blockhead, don't be as knowledgeable as him!"

But Li Jiancheng shook his head and said: "Then you are wrong. Although I have not understood how he governs in detail, I can see from your expression that you are very satisfied with him. You can't lie to me about this!"

"Hehe, just like that, it's all because of beatings!" Li Shimin chuckled, but Li Chengqian's face turned dark and he thought to himself: Have you ever said that about your son?

"Okay, sit down. Your father has always been tough-talking and domineering since he was a child. You have been angry with him a lot these years, right?"

"I have indeed wronged you!"

Hearing his uncle's words, Li Chengqian's eyes instantly turned red and he said, "Go ahead and feel wronged. My father is also doing it for my nephew's good!"

Li Jiancheng shook his head, looked at Ji Song, who had said nothing after the salute, and said with a smile: "I really have to thank you, otherwise I wouldn't be alive now, so I'll say thank you on behalf of my wife and children!"

After saying that, he sat in the wheelchair and bowed. When Ji Song reacted, it was already too late!

"The old gentleman is so evil that he can't deserve it!"

"That's right. Although I don't know what your reasons are, I have to acknowledge your kindness. But it's a pity that even if I want to repay you, I have nothing to offer!"

"What's so difficult about this? As long as my brother says something, I will step in for him!" Li Shimin pretended to be generous when he heard this.

"really?"

"Uh~"

Now it was Li Shimin's turn to be embarrassed. If he made any embarrassing request, would he agree or not? But it has reached this point, but it cannot be underestimated. He gritted his teeth and said, "Of course, I will stick to my word!"

Li Jiancheng smiled mysteriously, motioned for him to come closer, and then said a few words in Li Shimin's ear.

"This" it was really Li Shimin's turn to be in trouble. He glanced at his brother and then at Ji Song. His expression looked strange, jealous and relieved at the same time.

"I agreed to this matter and will discuss it with Guanyin later. I promise I won't let you down!"

When Li Jiancheng heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and his eyes became much kinder when he looked at Xianshishi.

Ji Song and Li Chengqian were confused the whole time. What on earth did they say? Why did their eyes feel a little cold behind them?
"Okay, what do you want to do with me at this time? Can't you and Cheng Qian come to an agreement? Are you going to come to me? Can't you just let me relax for a while?" Maybe it's because he's not feeling well, but he speaks with anger. .

"Father, hey, let Ziyi talk about this!"

Li Chengqian wanted to speak, but when the words came to his lips, he pushed Ji Song out, making Ji Song roll his eyes.

So everyone looked at Ji Song. At this time, Ji Song was not polite and simply explained the situation of the Mayans. Finally, he looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "This matter has something to do with the old gentleman."
