Ji Tang

Chapter 317 Healthy Princess
The rising sun shines with great light. The newly born scorching sun illuminates the entire city of Chang'an in a golden color, making the majestic palace even more majestic.

Ji Song followed the crowd and walked on both sides of the royal road, with the civil servants on the right and the generals on the left.

At first, he was still a little hesitant about whether to go to the left or the right, but Yuchi Gong pulled him to the left without saying a word, and said dissatisfiedly: "You are a serious military commander, why don't you stand to the left?" Still want to go to that group of sour scholars? Don’t think that you’ll be on their side after you’ve been a civil servant for a few days.”

These words angered Fang Xuanling, the leader of the officials, but in the end, considering his status, he glared at Yuchi bitterly and stopped looking at him, as if one more glance would dirty his eyes.

Pulling Ji Song here, the generals laughed as if they had won a battle, causing the civilian officials to glare frequently.

The eyes he looked at Ji Song were full of regret, like a piece of fine jade falling into a manure pit. Ji Song was so ashamed that he could only cover his face with his wide sleeves.

"You don't care about that disciple of yours. How come he ended up in Qiubadui even though he is just a child of studying?"

Xiao Yu looked at Ji Song with pity, and then said to Li Gang beside him.

Li Gang looked indifferent and said proudly: "You can envy me. My disciple is both civil and military. He mounts his horse to fight for the country and dismounts to care for the people's livelihood. It's the same everywhere."

"As a teacher, I'm not in a hurry. Why are you in a hurry? You're just worrying, huh!"

"you"

Li Gang now made Xiao Yu angry, but he couldn't do anything with the old man in his hand, so he could only flick his sleeves and stay away from this old thing.

After Xiao Yu walked away, Li Gang looked at Ji Song who was talking to several veterans and showed a little worry.

The news that the Queen had adopted You Ning as her adopted daughter spread throughout Chang'an. Of course he knew about it, but what could he do?
This is the royal grace, no one can say anything about it, but for my disciple, this is not a good thing.

Thinking of this, he shook his head, thinking that Brother Song's burden would be heavy in the future!

"Your Majesty has a decree to announce the entry of hundreds of officials into the palace!"

"I will obey your orders!"

Ji Song stood in the ranks of military commanders and walked into the Tai Chi Hall. He was no longer the transparent person he was before.

According to his title and rank, he stood in the third row of military attachés. In front of him were all the princes and princes. It was already good for him to stand in this position.

Li Shimin looked at the civil and military officials below, and couldn't help but feel a little complacent in his heart, thinking that although he was in an unfair position, no one could erase the achievements he had made.

The Turks, who had never been truly conquered by the previous Sui Dynasty, were completely surrendered in their own hands. How many people could achieve such a feat?
He came to Dan Majesty and said loudly: "Today is the reward hall for those who have made meritorious service in the Battle of Mobei, but before that, I want to announce something very happy."

After saying that, he looked at Ji Song, which made Ji Song feel nervous and secretly said: Here it comes!
"Good news to Hou Jisong!"

"Chen is here!"

Li Shimin looked at the energetic young man. He was much calmer than before, and his face was much darker, which showed that he had suffered a lot.

It can be said that I am extremely satisfied with Ji Song in my heart. I had forced him to join the court as an official in the first place. Now I see Ji Song repeatedly making great achievements, and I feel even more proud!
"The queen went to your house a few days ago. She fell in love with your fiancée Xie at first sight and fell in love with her. When she came back, she told me that she would adopt her as her adopted daughter."

"I have thought about it for a long time and thought that you are too young to reward too much, so I agreed to the Queen's invitation!"

Having said this, he ignored the reactions of the courtiers and nodded to Chen Shou.

Chen Shou understood, took out a copy of the imperial edict, and said loudly: "Good Lord Ji Song has accepted the order!" Ji Song did not dare to neglect, and quickly knelt down on one knee and said: "My lord, good Lord Ji Song has accepted the order!"

"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty issued an edict: Today there is a daughter of the Xie family, You Ning, who is respectful, gentle, virtuous and virtuous. He canonize her as Princess Jianjian and live in a town of [-] households. On an auspicious day of the zodiac, she will be honored by you. I hereby honor you!" "

"My lord, thank you for your kindness, may your Majesty live forever!"

"Congratulations to the Marquis of Hao!" Chen Shou handed the imperial edict to Ji Song and said happily.

"Happy together, rejoice together!"

Ji Song was also smiling, and no one could see anything from his face.

"In addition, you have repeatedly made military exploits in the Mobei War, and your achievements are very great. I have given you three hundred households in the city, and canonized your mother, Wu, as the county's wife. Are you satisfied?" Li Shimin then said.

Ji Song was shocked when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty does not think that I am despicable, but for my humble achievements, I reward you with the honor of a marquis. I am so grateful that I shed tears of gratitude."

"As a Wuhou of the Tang Dynasty, it is my duty to conquer Mobei. I dare not take credit for it. As a minister of His Majesty, it is my honor to be able to share the worries of Your Majesty. How can I use this to blackmail or ask for rewards?"

"Although I have some merit in the battle of Mobei, it is still the soldiers who sacrificed their lives. The commander-in-chief commanded well. I dare not take credit. Please take back your reward."

Li Shimin smiled and nodded after hearing this, but the civil and military ministers below looked dumbfounded. They didn't expect that the always modest and cautious Hao Jiehou would have such a side?
According to Ji Song's words, as the Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, it is my duty to fight for the country. It is no big deal. As your minister, I share your worries. How can I ask for a reward for this?
What else could they say now? Everyone who originally wanted to use the topic to express their opinions felt like there was something stuck in their throats and they couldn't spit it out.

Ji Song felt so sick that he wanted to vomit. Damn it, he has never said such disgusting words in these years. Now that he has said it all this time, he will probably have a reputation as a charmer in the future.

Li Gang's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He wanted to go out several times, but was held back by several friends.

My friend Kong Yingda said in a low voice: "Forget it, it will happen sooner or later. Maybe this is not a bad thing. Your disciple's reputation has indeed become quite famous in recent years."

Li Gang could only suppress his anger when he heard this. What has become of this innocent person now?
If I had known this, I would have tried so hard to be hated by the emperor and prevent Brother Song from becoming an official in the court.

The emperor was too bullying. When he caught a useful minister, he used him to death. First he went to Sinong Temple, then he went to the north, and now he adopted his good fiancée as his adopted daughter. He was not such a bully.

"Your Majesty, I wonder how the ceremony was performed when Princess Youning Jianjiang married Marquis Hao?"

Li Gang must make this matter clear. If he just follows the normal princess etiquette, he can't agree to anything.

Without waiting for Li Shimin to say anything, Li Gang continued: "The Marquis Hao is from the Ji family, and he is the only direct descendant of his generation. If I marry according to the ceremony of a princess, it may be inappropriate. Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Ji Song didn't expect that the teacher would dare to confront the emperor for his own sake. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak in this situation, so he could only worry.

"This"

Li Gang is the Minister of Rites. If he talks about etiquette, he really has no choice. Looking at Ji Song who lowered his head, he can only sigh secretly and give up some thoughts for the time being.

"The wedding will be based on the princess's etiquette, as for the rest."

Li Shimin thought for a moment and then said: "Just marry as usual!"

Li Gang was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly worshiped: "Your Majesty, you are wise!"
