Ji Tang

Chapter 230 Candid
Li Shimin smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's the one!"

Wei Zheng looked at Li Shimin in disbelief, then turned to look at Ji Song who was smiling and Fang Xuanling who was concentrating with his eyes closed. He fell to the ground in a daze, muttering to himself: "How is this possible?"

No one meant to disturb him, after all, the news was too shocking for him!

Prince Li Jiancheng originally died in the ninth year of Wude, but now the emperor told him that he was not dead, which caused a storm in his heart.

He desperately searched for all the information in his mind, trying to find loopholes in this matter, but unfortunately there was no result.

He knew very well what kind of person the emperor was. When faced with the emperor's recruitment, he had already prepared to die, but he knew that this matter could not be made public.

Even with Li Yuanji as a fig leaf, everyone knew in their hearts that both Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng were killed by the emperor.

But now he was told that Emperor Li Jiancheng was not dead. How could he believe it?

"Why? Why is this?" Wei Zheng suddenly raised his head and asked Li Shimin.

Li Shimin sighed in his heart, looked at Ji Song, and said happily: "Because Brother Song told me a story back then."

"Story?" Wei Zheng said in disbelief.

Li Shimin seemed to have returned to the scene when he was talking to Ji Song by the river that day, and said: "It was a story about a family killing each other."

".So this family followed the tradition of their ancestors. Every time the old and the new changed, it was full of bloodshed and killing each other."

After the story was told, it was not the first time that Fang Xuanling heard this story, but every time he felt wet with sweat.

He knew that if things really continued to develop according to this trend, then such a tragedy would most likely become a reality.

Facts have proved that His Majesty's decision was right. If His Majesty had directly suffered the infamy, even if he could secure the throne, it would never be that simple.

At first, everyone disagreed, and even he was unwilling to take risks. Among them, only Du Ruhui fought hard, and Jian Jue supported His Majesty's decision.

He gave a wry smile. People say that people make plans and make decisions, and it seems that they are right.

When it comes to judging things, I am not as good as him. He really sees things better than he wants!

"What about the Crown Princess and his heirs?" Wei Zheng asked with hope.

He has digested the news that Li Jiancheng is not dead, but this matter must be asked clearly. If only Li Jiancheng is not dead and everyone else is dead, then it doesn't matter whether Li Jiancheng is dead or not.

Because there is almost no possibility of explanation. The hatred of seizing the throne, killing his wife, and killing his son is irreconcilable. If this is the case, it is better to kill Li Jiancheng and end it all once and for all.

But if they are not dead, there will be much room for maneuver during this period, and this will set an example for future emperors.

It would be better if Li Jiancheng and his heirs could be properly settled in the end.

"Can I go see him?" Wei Zheng asked hopefully.

But what disappointed him was that Li Shimin didn't speak. He knew that this was impossible.

When Ji Song saw this, he knew it was time to end the conversation. There were some things that were not easy for fairies to make public, but as long as the time was right, this matter would become the most notable event in the history of the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, before the Wei and Jin Dynasties, few emperors drove out the losers. This was a custom left over from ancient times.

Those who have no heir will be tolerated by the world!

Think about how domineering Emperor Qin was back then. He left Hangu in the east and swept across the six countries.But after he destroyed the country, he still left some descendants for him to worship in his ancestral hall.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, few people in the Three Kingdoms eradicated all the people, but after the Five Husies invaded China, this situation changed.

The Hu people's ignorance, cruelty and bloodshed were most vividly demonstrated in the civilized soil of the Central Plains by frequently exterminating entire tribes and exterminating their descendants.Ji Song did not want to discuss whether the Li royal family were descendants of their ancestors. As long as she recognized that she was the emperor of the Han people in the Central Plains and could benefit the Han people in the Central Plains, then he would be the most orthodox emperor of the Central Plains.

On the contrary, even if you are the purest Han emperor, but you do things that hurt your relatives and make your enemies happy, then you are the biggest enemy of the people of the Central Plains.

China has never decided its position based on blood. As someone said, I don't look at what you say, but what you do.

Stepping forward to help Wei Zheng up, Ji Song said: "Wei Gong, please get up quickly! It's not that His Majesty won't let you see him, but this matter is of great importance, and if you are not careful, it may cause civil strife in the Tang Dynasty.

Today, His Majesty can tell Duke Wei that he has already taken a great risk and must not be forced again. "

Wei Zheng stared blankly at Ji Song's young face, suddenly bowed deeply to Ji Song, and choked with sobs: "Wei Zheng thanks you, Brother Song, for him."

Ji Song did not shirk this time. He knew that this was Wei Zheng's gift for Li Jiancheng and he had to accept it.

The next few people didn't speak, and this matter was considered to be over. It would be no good for anyone to continue talking about it.

"You should prepare well during this period. I will not arrange a new chief officer for Sinong Temple, but I will give you a person."

After the atmosphere relaxed, Li Shimin talked about what happened before. This was the purpose of their visit.

"Who?"

"Ma Zhou!"

Ji Song was stunned. If he didn't learn that, would he be him?

"Do you know him?" Li Shimin said in surprise.

Ji Song shook his head and said: "I don't know him, but what happened between His Majesty and him some time ago, the boy is famous far and wide!"

The sadness in your words can be heard by everyone in the world.

"Hahahaha! You, you, are all the Marquis's, and you still want to compete with him? You can imagine that." Ji Song's expression made everyone laugh heartily.

It's no wonder that Ji Song always gives people the impression of being calm, and there are very few things that move him.

Whether he is a general or a government official, he is very safe, and everything is done beautifully, making it impossible for anyone to find fault.

If this were applied to ordinary officials, they would have long been resented and ostracized by their colleagues.

But Ji Song is different. First of all, he is a Marquis of the Tang Dynasty. Secondly, his rank is high enough and his background is strong enough.

Everything he did was under the eyes of the emperor, and his achievements were all seen by everyone. Others couldn't hold grudges even if they wanted to.

As for exclusion, that's even more impossible.

Those who know Ji Song's background are all the big shots in the court. They know that no matter how meritorious Ji Song is, he will only be able to stay in the fourth-grade official position for at least 20 years.

It's still too early to threaten their status. Even if Ji Song is in a high position in 20 years, how many of them will survive until then?
Therefore, there is no need to hold grudges and exclude people. It is just right for him to stay in Sinong Temple, a position that does not involve the direction of the court's policies.

When we make a contribution, everyone also helps clean up the mess when we make a mistake. It is considered as reciprocating the favor, no big deal.

However, although they cannot be promoted, they will be remembered by the emperor after all. When they reach a certain age, they will inevitably soar into the sky and become unstoppable.

Therefore, Ji Song's existence has more advantages than disadvantages for them. As long as they don't make any principled issues, even if the sky is broken, there will be people to help him repair it.

How could such a person be compared with a kid from a poor family who has no clue?Can this be compared?
