Ji Tang

Chapter 526: The eldest grandson: Why did you give birth to a fool?
"Tell me, whatever it is, it's just what you Ji Song said. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse!"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

He knew that when Ji Song said the word 'beg', he knew that this matter would definitely embarrass him, but he still agreed.

Now they are not ministers and kings, but friends, family and friendship. Ji Song has helped him and the Tang Dynasty so much, let this be compensation!

Ji Song was stunned. He didn't expect Li Shimin to agree so simply. He knew that it would be embarrassing for him, but he still did it so simply?

Looking at Li Shimin, he understood a little and felt a little moved in his heart!
Forcibly suppressing the urge to turn around and leave, he said with a somewhat struggling expression: "Those students are too important to me, Your Majesty, and the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty, please ensure their safety."

"Whenever."

He looked directly at Li Shimin, but quickly lowered his head, not daring to look any further.

He knew that when he said these words, he would look ugly to others, but he didn't care so much.

After ten years of hard work, from scratch, these people have no idea how much effort they put in and how much blood they put into it.

As long as these people are here, they will be the sparks of fire, and they will definitely bring changes to Datang in all aspects in the future.

Perhaps the curiosity and adventurous spirit of outstanding people are more intense. Most of these more than a hundred people are outstanding students.

He knew that this request was shameless. His students' lives were important, but others' were not, right?
His life experience in the previous life prevented him from doing so with peace of mind and putting his own life above others.

Ji Song lowered his head and did not dare to look at Li Shimin. He was worried about seeing the emperor's contemptuous eyes, and he himself was ashamed to death!
At this time, the expression on Li Shimin's face was very rich. Even Changsun and Li Chengqian on the side opened their mouths wide and looked at Ji Song, who lowered his head and said nothing, as if they were looking at a 'monster'!
Li Shimin never thought that Ji Song would make such a request?
Is it difficult?
It's hard to say it's hard, it's not hard to say it's easy, it just depends on whether he is willing or not.

Doesn't he know the value of those students?

No, he knew that he valued these people even more than Ji Song.

Over the years, he has gradually added a lot of sand to Ji's Academy. Not only the noble disciples, but also the teachers have sent no less than ten people.

With these people here, he may know much better than the founder Ji Song about the situation of the students in the school.

The people he sent there at the beginning responded to him like this: "The best among them are both civil and military; they are proficient in all the classics and history; they are skilled in all kinds of farming; they are the best in the world in arithmetic and inquiry."

"If you are a craftsman, you can do it as a supervisor; if you are a scholar, you can be treated by everyone in the generation; if you are an official, you can be the chief officer of each department."

"Given time, it can become a pillar of the Tang Dynasty, and it will be a matter of great importance."

Who knows how I felt when I heard such a comment? If I hadn't known that they were still very immature, they would have gone there and robbed people. How could I have waited until now?

Although many of the evaluations are exaggerated, as long as one tenth is true, it will be Datang's blessing!
It’s too late to protect such a treasure by yourself, how could you not protect it?

But now Ji Song is begging him for this matter, which is something he never thought of in his dreams.

"I promise!"

Ji Song suddenly raised his head, looked at Li Shimin, and said in disbelief: "Did you really agree?"

"Yes, I agreed to your request. This time I will instruct the soldiers accompanying the army to protect the safety of the students even if they die."

"If they die, I will give their families and children a heavy reward, and I will remember them as a great meritorious service. Now you can rest assured?"

Ji Song looked excited and was about to salute and thank him, but was stopped by the emperor!
All I can say is: "Your Majesty's great kindness, I will remember it in my heart and dare not forget it."

After that, the two of them talked some more, until he showed signs of fatigue, and then the conversation ended.

After all, he is still a wounded person.
Ji Song left, and Li Shimin personally pushed the wheelchair to the door of Tai Chi, whereupon Daniu took him over.

Ji Song cupped his fists and bowed slightly. He didn't say any words of gratitude. This was not his character, but he kept it in his heart.

Li Shimin returned to the hall and heard the prince's laughter.

"Mother, Brother Song is so ridiculous this time, hahaha. Ugh!"

"boom!"

But soon the joy turned to sadness.

He covered his buttocks and looked at his father who was glaring at him. He wondered why he was so crazy.

"Does it feel funny?" Li Shimin asked with a dark face.

Li Chengqian nodded at first, but when his father's face turned darker, he quickly shook his head.

"You!"

The eldest grandson slapped his eldest son on the back of the head angrily.

"Why did I give birth to a stupid son? What a sin!"

Li Chengqian was immediately in trouble. What does it mean to have a stupid son?Still doing evil?

"Why, still not convinced?"

Li Shimin kicked again.

Seeing the innocent-looking eldest son, Li Shimin also doubted whether this guy was his son. He was so stupid.

But after all, he is his own prince, so just be stupid, you can’t let him go!

"Do you think it's strange that Brother Song asks me for something that you are accustomed to?"

Li Chengqian nodded.

When he thought about it, this was a natural thing. Even if he didn't say it, both his father and his future self would protect these people, at least they would not be used as weapons for no reason.

Even if they are not suitable for high positions in the future, they will be placed in suitable positions. After all, in his opinion, this person is an all-rounder.

Seeing Li Chengqian like this, he still didn't understand.

Li Shimin could only say patiently: "He has three reasons for coming today, but you haven't even seen one until now. How dare you laugh?"

Li Chengqian was dumbfounded. Why was he so aggressive?

Three meanings?
"Father, please help me clarify my doubts!"

Li Shimin nodded. Although he was a bit stupid, at least he knew how to ask for advice, which was good!
"First, he really wants me to protect those students, no matter what the cost! The reason why he is ashamed and unable to speak is not because he doesn't know that I will do this even if he doesn't ask me.

But it is shameful and unspeakable for those who are ready to die to protect those students. "

"Second, let the royal family or me return his favor."

"Favor?" Li Chengqian asked doubtfully.

Li Shimin nodded and said with some emotion: "He is a smart man after all, and he does things without leaving any trace!"

Then he looked at the prince and said, "Don't you really think it's so easy to bear having the royal family owe a favor?"

"So he did it on purpose?"

Li Chengqian now understood a little bit. Ji Song just made a seemingly absurd but reasonable request, and allowed the royal family to return the favor that they had always missed, so that everyone felt comfortable.

No one wants to be in debt to others, let alone the emperor.

But at the same time, I was also surprised by Ji Song's ingenuity in doing something that might embarrass everyone, but doing it flawlessly.

No matter who mentions this matter in the future, they will think that it is His Majesty's favor to Ji Song.

He not only achieved his goal, but also made everyone feel comfortable.

What an exquisite thought!
Li Chengqian was amazed, and his eldest grandson was also amazed!When Ji Song just said it, she was still a little confused. She wanted to say something, but the emperor stopped her. Later, she understood a little bit and acted with the emperor and Ji Song.

"What about the third?"

Li Chengqian asked.

The eldest grandson is also a little curious. The first is to achieve his own goal, the second is to return the favor, but what about the third?
"third?"

Li Shimin said this, paused, and then said: "Third, this is what I also admire about him."

"As long as those students come back successfully, these young people who have grown up completely through the storm will be mine."

"Hahahahaha!"

As he said this, he burst out laughing, he was so happy.

Although these students will also become officials under him in the future, they will always be separated by one layer, that is Ji Song.

In any case, these people were trained by the Ji family, and many of them are children of the Ji family. No matter how much I like them, I can't use them without any scruples.

Defense is definitely necessary. This is an inevitable choice for a mature emperor.

But in the last conversation, Ji Song suddenly said with emotion: "When the tree gets bigger, you should cut off the branches and leaves, so that it can grow vigorously. I think so."

This is very straightforward. Although it is just an interlude in the conversation, when it reaches a certain point, there is no nonsense.

Of course he understands the meaning of this sentence. It is nothing more than that in the future he will abolish his martial arts, remove all these people, and establish another branch.

This man is selfish.

You didn’t dare to think or do it before, but now that the opportunity is placed in front of you, few people will refuse the temptation of a pioneer!

Once they are separated, the interests they represent will have fundamental changes. Although they will still respect the main lineage of the Ji family, it is basically impossible to get them to obey their words.

And this was Ji Song's promise to him, and this was what made him happy.

Knowing how to advance and retreat, understanding world affairs, and knowing when to stop is enough. This is a truly smart person, and he deserves to be the Duke of Ji for generations to come.

A family that poses no threat and has real abilities and great knowledge will basically not do anything to it as long as the people in power are not stupid.

There are many princes in the court who don't understand this principle, but no one actually implements it.

One is that they have been aloof for a long time and are unwilling to give up their rights.

Second, the family has been passed down for a long time, and many things cannot be decided by just one person.

But the Ji family does not have such constraints. Although the Ji family has a heritage, it has declined long ago, and even the inheritance has been lost. If Ji Song had not risen, the Ji family might have disappeared in a short time.

Therefore, the difference between Ji Song and other families is that he can decide everything about the Ji family, and no one will think it is wrong. This is the prestige of the founder.

Li Chengqian stopped talking. He didn't expect that the small talk in the end was the key.

Not only did he not hear it, but he also thought Ji Song was ridiculous. It turned out that he was the clown.

"Okay, don't be frustrated, kid, there's still a lot to learn!"

He patted his prince on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If you have his help in the future, just smile secretly!"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he was about to leave, but before leaving, he suddenly said: "I think Ji Run is very good, and she will definitely be extraordinary in the future."

Li Chengqian looked at his father who had left, wondering why he said such a thing?

Ji Run?Just that brat who is annoying and annoying?

The eldest grandson saw that his eldest son still didn't understand, so he helplessly raised his forehead and said, "You!"

"When you have time, take Yu'er to visit Ji's Village more often!"

After saying that, he stabbed him hard on the forehead, looking like he hated iron.

The eldest grandson left, and Li Chengqian stood there blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Why, why would he want to marry my daughter? Why doesn't his daughter marry my son?"

Suddenly, Li Chengqian's angry shouts came from Tai Chi Hall.

The eldest grandson who had just walked out suddenly smiled when he heard this and murmured: "It's not too stupid."

The next day, Ji Song packed up his things and prepared to return to Zhuangzi. All the things that needed to be done were done, everything that needed to be said was said, and the things that had been pressing on his heart were put down. It was time to go back, otherwise the family would be turned upside down.

We were silent all the way, and we arrived at Zhuangzi just before dark.

"Husband, where is my husband!"

As soon as they arrived at the door, before getting off the carriage, they saw You Ning dragging his big belly and hurriedly came out through the door with the support of Xiao Lian and Xiao Zhu.

As soon as Ji Song saw that it was okay, he wanted to get off the carriage, but his injuries were affected, and there was a look of pain on his face, so he had to stop.

"Husband, what's wrong with you? Where are you injured? Let me see quickly."

You Ning shed tears when he saw it, and asked Ji Song to untie Ji Song's clothes.

Ji Song said helplessly: "It's okay, it's okay, don't cry first, it's not good for the child."

"Where are you injured?" You Ning ignored it and asked anxiously.

"I was just hit by an animal. It will heal after a while. Please stop crying, okay."

Ji Song, who had one head and two heads, quickly comforted him.

"Madam, the Marquis has suffered internal injuries and has difficulty moving. Let the Marquis return home first and talk about it later!"

The big cow on the side said quickly.

You Ning was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly and said: "Okay, okay, let's talk about it back home!"

So, with the help of Daniel, he lowered the wheelchair to the ground and then helped Ji Song to the wheelchair.

But there are steps at the door, so only two people can carry Ji Song in.

When You Ning saw that her husband was sitting on a weird-looking chair and couldn't even move around, tears fell down his face as if he wanted no money.

"Don't cry, okay?"

You Ning hasn't stopped crying since he returned to the room, and he can't persuade her.

"I just cried, just cried. You hid everything from me and didn't let me know. If you hadn't discovered that something was wrong with my mother, how long would you have kept it from me?"

She got angry when she talked about this. Her man was so hurt and yet he never told her. What did he think of her?

"How can I tell you now that you are like this? You are a mother of two, no, almost three children. Why are you still so impulsive?"

"Go and get me something to eat. I've been hungry for a long time and I don't have any eyesight."

Since the soft one is not enough, then come with the hard one. If you don’t believe it, it won’t cure you.

"Then if you hadn't told me earlier, I would have gone to get you something to eat. Wait!"

After hearing Ji Song's words, she stopped crying and hurried out.
