Ji Tang

Chapter 193 Letters and Visits

Ji Song walked out of the palace gate and looked disappointedly at the palace city standing majestically under the blue sky and white clouds.

Li Shimin did not immediately agree to Ji Song's request, saying that he wanted to summon officials to discuss matters.Ji Song didn't say anything after hearing this. He knew that the fact that he didn't agree immediately meant that Li Shimin still had concerns.

After being disappointed, Ji Song regained his energy and walked forward.Although he did not agree immediately, he had already planted a seed in the emperor's heart, and it only took a suitable opportunity for it to sprout.

Because Ji Song knows very well that as Mingzhou Port continues to prosper, tax revenue continues to increase.Sooner or later, the imperial court will realize the importance of sea trade and will vigorously support seaside areas with excellent seaports.

This will also greatly promote the development of the maritime voyage industry, but when desperadoes see the prosperity of this route, pirates who are dependent on navigation will surely emerge.

By then, if Datang wants to continue to reap the dividends of shipping, it must solve this problem, and Ji Song's goal will be achieved.

When he got home, his mother-in-law was waiting for him without any surprise.The conversation with the emperor in the palace took a long time just now, which delayed a lot of time. It was already evening when we came out.

"Come and eat! It's true what you said about the emperor. How could he take advantage of my son when he was still so young? There are so many ministers in the court, how could they catch you and order them around?"

When she saw Ji Song, Ji's mother turned on nagging mode. She touched her face and said she was dark, and pinched her body and said she had lost weight.

Ji Song felt helpless and relieved. He said nothing and let A Niang talk.This is the time when he is most relaxed and relaxed every time.

There was no calculation, no worry, just a touch of warmth surrounding him.

"Song'er, what did you and Youning say in their letters?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Ji Song quickly put down the bowl in his hand and coughed violently.

"Slow down! You're such an adult, how can you choke on your food?"

Mother Ji slapped her on the back and scolded.

He rolled his eyes, who knew you would suddenly ask about this?How can a couple whisper to others?Even grandma can’t do it.

"Why did you ask about this?" Ji Song said helplessly.

Ji's mother glanced at Ji Song angrily and said, "It's not like the Xie family's sister wrote a letter saying that You Ning lost a letter from you and insisted that it was them who took it. She had a big temper some time ago.

I don’t know what you said above to make her so anxious. She was so anxious that she cried. No one could persuade her to stop her.I want you to write another letter and send it to her to stop her. "

Ji Song was stunned, could this letter be lost in his own home?It's really strange that he can't do this based on his understanding of Uncle Xie and Aunt Zhang!

"When did this happen?"

"It said it was received in June or July."

Now Ji Song understood. Calculating the time, the letter should be the one "Si Wuxie". No wonder she was so nervous. This was the first time he had given her some love poems!
But knowing that she was so anxious about the letter, Ji Song felt pity for her. It seemed that he still cared too little about her, otherwise he wouldn't be so nervous about a letter.

"Mom, I know. If you reply to Aunt Zhang, just ask me to write another one." Ji Song said.

"Hey! Are you worried about your little lover?" After hearing this, Ji's mother looked at Ji Song and said with a smile.

"mother"

Back in the room, Ji Song spread out his pen and paper and started writing.Rewrite exactly what I said last time, including the little poem of course.Finally, after thinking about it, he added another song to the back, and then nodded with satisfaction.Put the paper into the envelope and paste it carefully.

A desolate hall deep in the palace was surrounded by soldiers in armor. They took three steps, one post and five steps, and carried out their inspection tasks seriously.

With such a tight defense, not even a fly can fly through!
There was only a middle-aged man in plain clothes sitting in front of the desk writing something in the hall. This man looked to be in his thirties, his eyes were indifferent and gentle, and he had a faint bookish air about him. He is like a noble son from a noble family.

"Brother, I'm here to see you!"

A female voice came, and the man reluctantly put down his pen and looked at a bold woman with a strong figure and no trace of femininity.

"Can you stop being so arrogant every time? Look, this word has been ruined again!"

Everyone must have guessed that the man was Li Jiancheng who faked his death and escaped with the medicine given by Ji Song that day by Li Shimin, and the woman was of course Pingyang.

"Hmph, what's so pity about your handwriting? It's so soft. Let me see what you wrote?"

As the only legitimate daughter of the Li family, Pingyang has been the object of everyone's love since she was a child. At that time, Li Yuan was busy with political affairs and neglected to discipline them. Li Jiancheng, the eldest brother, usually took care of them.

Therefore, Pingyang has never been polite to Li Jiancheng!
"Hey! Isn't this "Yong Mei" written by Brother Song? Do you also like this poem?" Pingyang asked curiously.

"word?"

Li Xiuning explained: "This is a new genre created by Song Geer. Since the poem on the Lantern Festival of that year was circulated, it has been highly praised by the scholars of the Tang Dynasty.

Thinking that this genre is far beyond what the usual strict verses and quatrains can embody, some good people call this genre 'pine body' or 'ci' to distinguish it! "

Li Jiancheng thought of the young man who was as graceful as an immortal on the Zhuque Gate tower that night, and he felt inexplicable.

Although he was imprisoned here, he was not treated badly.Even the food and use were better than when he was the prince, and Li Shimin would come and talk to him when he had time.

Therefore, he also knows some things about the outside world.

"I heard that this boy has made great achievements this time. My second brother came to me and said that he didn't know how to reward him." Li Jiancheng shook his head and smiled.

After hearing this, Pingyang actually curled his lips and said, "Huh, he's just showing off, so don't listen to him."

"Haha! Speaking of which, I am still alive because of this boy's help. I just don't know why?" He said with some regret.

Ever since he knew that his wife was fine, he no longer had so much resentment in his heart.This is a good thing for both himself and Datang.

All Li Shimin's actions after he came to power show that he is a qualified emperor. Although he is a little eager for quick success, he can at least exercise restraint, which is commendable.

"Yes! He was also the one who saved my little sister's life back then. Speaking of which, he was very kind to our family. If he hadn't happened to be in Haojue County and met Li Gang and Xie Lian, I would have been afraid of him."

Li Jiancheng gently patted his sister on the shoulder and said with a smile: "This is fate. No one knows where such a magical young man can be."

The two were silent for a while, and Li Jiancheng asked in a trembling voice: "Are your sister-in-law and children okay?"

"Okay, it's all good. He didn't make things difficult for them. They live in a safe place now, but it's not the right time for you to meet!" Pingyang said hesitantly.
