Ji Tang

Chapter 194 Apprenticeship?Alien?
"No rush, no rush! As long as everything is fine for them, the other big brothers don't care anymore. Since Shimin wants that position, just let him do it."

Li Jiancheng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. As long as his wives were fine, everything else didn't matter.It was a blessing to save his life, so how could he dare to do what he wanted?

In fact, Li Jiancheng's achievements in history are not small, but it's just fate. One move failed, and everything was lost.Li Jiancheng gave people a gentle and elegant feeling during the limited times he came into contact with Ji Song.

Like a kind elder, he may be disguised, but at least Ji Song doesn't hate him.When he knew that he liked reading, he even copied a copy of his treasured books to Ji Song. This kind of thought is really rare.

Most of the books in the Ji family's "Jingsi Building" were given by him, which shows his love for Ji Song.

But things have happened, there is no if.Since the Xuanwumen Incident, Ji Song has never asked Li Shimin about Li Jiancheng's whereabouts, but only heard his aunt mention it briefly.

After knowing that he was safe and sound, Ji Song felt much more relaxed, as if he had let go of his guilt.

"Brother, please do me a favor!" Li Jiancheng said suddenly.

Pingyang was a little surprised. His eldest brother had never made any demands since that incident. This time he suddenly said, "I wonder what it could be?"
"Brother, tell me, as long as the younger sister can do it, I will do it for you even if you ask the second brother."

"I want Chengxun to become Ji Song's disciple!" Li Jiancheng said.

"what?"

Pingyang thought he heard wrongly and wanted to worship Ji Song as his teacher?How can this be?With the emperor's regard for Ji Song, how could he have an entanglement with his eldest brother's son? The emperor would not agree.

"This" Pingyang hesitated. It was open to say whether the emperor would agree to this matter, but it was not a good thing for Ji Song.

Based on her understanding of the boy, it was impossible for her to take such a big risk to accept Cheng Xun as her disciple.

The eldest brother had five sons. The eldest son, Wang Chengzong of Taiyuan, died early; the second sons were Wang Chengdao of Anlu, Wang Chengde of Hedong, Wang Chengxun of Wuan, Wang Chengming of Runan, and Wang Chengyi of Julu.

In addition to the early death of the eldest son, Chengdao and Chengxun are legitimate sons.The eldest brother obviously knows that Chengdao is impossible, after all, he is already old, but Chengxun is different, he is only eight years old this year, and there are some things he doesn't know.

It seemed like the elder brother had planned this for a long time. Pingyang raised his head and said, "What exactly do you want to do? Could it be?"

"You're overthinking it. Chengdao is a kind-hearted man and has a good temperament, but after that incident, he must have been a little unwilling because of the gap in his heart.

As long as he is safe and sound in the future, I don't expect him to be very successful.But Cheng Xun is different. He is still young and very smart. As a father, I don’t want to destroy him just like that. "

Li Jiancheng rarely showed an excited expression. This may be his responsibility as a father!
"Ugh!"

Pingyang sighed and said: "I will tell my second brother about this, but I don't dare to vouch for whether I can get him to agree.

Also, I can’t force Brother Song to take him in for training, and my little sister won’t hide his identity. "

Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly. It seemed that Pingyang really cared about that boy and didn't want to put him in danger at all.

But he agreed. Originally, he just pitied the child's talent and really didn't want him to waste his time like this. After all, he had reached the age of entering school.

"Okay, it's almost time. I won't stay any longer, little sister. I'll come see you later." The two talked for a while, and then Pingyang said goodbye.

After Princess Pingyang left, someone informed Li Shimin of the situation here. After all, Li Jiancheng had a special status. Any disturbance might affect the stability of the Tang Dynasty, and no one dared to be careless.

"Worship Ji Song as your teacher?" Li Shimin asked in surprise.

"Yes, I heard this very clearly!" said a man dressed as a eunuch.Li Shimin stood up and walked around for a moment, as if thinking about the meaning behind this matter.Although the eldest brother seems to have given up, who can guarantee it?
"You go down first! Remember, don't tell anyone about this."

"Slaves understand!"

Watching the man leave, Li Shimin murmured: "Brother, brother, what on earth do you want to do?"

He had seen that child Chengxun, and he was indeed very smart. Even he liked this child very much back then.

I heard from people below that my sister-in-law has not told the child about the original situation in the past few years, but she is very concerned about his studies.

But after all, her knowledge is limited and she cannot teach her children too much.Some time ago, I even sent someone a message, hoping to find a teacher for Cheng Xun, but I never responded.

After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't come up with a clue. I shook my head and put the matter aside for now. I'll find out what he thinks the next time I see him.

After Ji Song returned to Chang'an, he did not go out and run around again. Instead, he sat in Sinong Temple and coordinated various matters of the nine groups.

Although there was a precedent set by Haorui County, when they actually started doing it, they discovered that things were not that simple.

The situation in each place is different, and they sometimes have to adjust their plans to suit local conditions.

But what made Ji Song relieved was that this time there was full cooperation from local governments, and many matters that had to be dealt with local wealthy households were communicated with them. This allowed the officials of Sinong Temple to focus most of their energy on the fields. As for arguing with the local snakes.

Therefore, this time the progress was very fast, and they did not need to worry about many things.

What Ji Song has to do every day is to approve and issue instructions on things collected from various places, and then solve some things that they can't solve.

For example, the production and deployment of Quyuan plows and columbines, and the coordination and communication with the six ministries and three provinces of the imperial court.In short, I just couldn’t take any time off, so I went home very late every day.

This made Mother Ji both distressed and gratified. What was distressing was the hard work of her son. What was gratifying was that no matter how busy her son was, he would never stay out overnight and would go home and eat by himself every day.

This is incredible for an official. Who has not socialized or made friends with others?But Ji Song did it, and no one could say anything about how he handled the matter.

In fact, this has a lot to do with Ji Song's own status. As the youngest marquis of the Tang Dynasty, this itself represents strength.

Look at the people he has made friends with. Isn’t that one a top figure in the Tang Dynasty?And with the protection of Princess Pingyang, most people really don't dare to stab Ji Song in front of him.

This led to the fact that although Ji Song was in the officialdom, in the eyes of outsiders, he had a detached status.Those who were in junior high positions were so frightened by Ji Song's halo that they dared not cross it.

Those with high status knew his importance in the emperor's heart, and they really didn't want to cause trouble for Ji Song when it didn't touch their core interests.

Because if he touched him, both his teacher Li Gang and his large group of friends would be enough to drink a pot of it, not to mention Princess Pingyang, the protector of the calf.

Therefore, Ji Song has been working in this environment so far.

Basically, he has no enemies. He is modest and cautious in front of others, and rarely conflicts with others.

Under such circumstances, no one is willing to offend the hornet's nest of Ji Song for trivial matters. As long as their interests are not affected, many times they are willing to sell favors.

This made him an outlier in the officialdom. Everyone got things done in a harmonious manner, which saved a lot of unnecessary entertainment. Otherwise, how could he have so much free time?
　Thanks to Bai Xue Fenfei for the reward, and congratulations to her for becoming the second helmsman of this book!
