Chapter 527 Overseas Notes: Find something for Li Chengqian to do!
Time flies by, and half of the eighth year of Zhenguan has passed.

June is already the busy season for farming. Last year, the weather was good and the weather was good. Coupled with the spread of intensive farming methods, even people who don’t know much about farming know that this year will be a good harvest year.

On this day, Ji Song, who had already recovered, was working in the fields with Ji Run, who was four years old.

What can a four-year-old do?
Of course, we can't expect him to do anything. Thank God if he can avoid causing trouble.

Looking at the brat making fun, Ji Song didn't care. He brought him here because he hoped that he would know the hardships of farmers since he was a child, so that he wouldn't end up inseparating the grains, which would be a real crime.

Mother Ji was watching the child at home and did not follow her, while You Ning was busy with the meal.

That's right, You Ning gave birth to another fat boy for Ji Song in March of the eighth year of Zhenguan, named Ji Ze.

The Ji family has another son, the second legitimate son, and You Ning's status in the Ji family has also increased. Now he is so tough in front of Ji Song that his nostrils are in the air.

Ji Song was generous and didn't know her as well, so he just pretended not to see it.

But looking at the eldest son who had fallen out of favor, Ji Song shook his head and could only smile bitterly.

Only now did he realize that what his mother liked was not a certain grandson, but all the grandsons. No, as soon as he had a little grandson, he would throw the big one to him.

He also said in a flattering way: "How long have I been taking care of your children, and you still want to use me as an old man?"

Old body?Elderly people?
Looking at his mother who was not yet fifty, he really couldn't associate her with the old character.

Perhaps the concept in the previous life has not changed. At fifty, in this era, there are already children and grandchildren.

Some even upgraded to become grandmothers. Perhaps only Ji Song would think so.

"Little monkey, little monkey, I'm here to see you!"

Ji Song made a move with his hands, and when he saw the little girl yelling at his eldest son who still had a runny nose on the path, his teeth itched with hatred!

Is the emperor determined to defeat his Ji family?If you can't marry your daughter, you want to marry your granddaughter?
Yes, this little girl is the youngest daughter of the current crown prince, Li Wei.

Ever since Li Chengqian brought Li Kui to Ji's Zhuangzi some time ago, his poor eldest son has inexplicably gained a younger daughter-in-law.

This matter was not done without Ji Song's consent at all. Ji's mother was approached directly and only informed Ji Song afterwards.

Li Shimin was also cruel. He ignored the fact that You Ning was still his adopted daughter and quickly settled the matter in less than three days.

What can Ji Song say?
He couldn't say anything, and his mother didn't intend to ask for his permission!

In short, except for Ji Song, both the Ji family and the royal family were very satisfied with this marriage. The minority obeyed the majority, so Ji Song's opinion seemed insignificant.

Ji Run saw Li Ku wanting to go over, but she took a cautious look at her father and did not dare to leave directly.

"Go if you want! Remember to go home early."

Ji Song said angrily, he really forgot about his parents after having a daughter-in-law, although he still didn't understand what a daughter-in-law was.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Ji Song was ready to go back.

When Li Ku saw Ji Song, she saluted Ji Song in a very ladylike manner: "Kua has met my uncle!"

The maid behind her also hurriedly saluted and said: "My slave, I pay my respects to the Marquis!"

"Ok!"

Ji Song nodded with a smile and said to the two villains: "You go and play, but you are not allowed to run far away, you understand?"

Li Ku's eyes were smiling like crescent moons, and he said sharply: "You know, we will come back after playing for a while!"

"Let's go!"

After saying that, he took Ji Run's little hand and ran away, and the maid quickly followed.

"Follow me and keep an eye on me."

Ji Song said to the soldiers who came to him at some unknown time.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou!"

Looking at the two villains running away, he shook his head and ignored them.

Li Kuan is one year older than Ji Run. He has a cheerful temperament and is lively and cute. Although he looks very ladylike in front of Ji Song, Ji Run, the little devil who gives the entire Ji family a headache, is eaten to death by others.

It is true that one thing will bring down another thing, but it will be a bitter experience for him in the future.

When I got home, I saw a carriage appearing at the door, and I knew who it belonged to without even thinking about it.

Sure enough, before he could change his clothes, he heard Li Chengqian's voice.

"You said that you, a marquis, behave like a farmer all day long, what do you look like?"

Li Chengqian doesn't like anything about Ji Song now, and he still can't let go. Why can he marry his daughter instead of Ji Song?

Anyway, when he saw Ji Song, he was just sarcastic, saying whatever was unpleasant, without any regard.

Ji Song rolled his eyes, glanced at him and said, "If you have the ability, why don't you go and say it to His Majesty?"

"Only a fool would do it, Tsk!"

Li Chengqian is simply not stupid, and he knows who his father is.

During this time, Li Chengqian ran here when he had nothing to do, and he was worried about his daughter under the pretense.

"You said that you, a prince, don't want to help His Majesty with political affairs, so why do you come to me all day long? You are not afraid that the ministers will say that you are not doing your job properly."

Ji Song was surprised. The marriage was already scheduled, but he still came to harm his family all day long. If nothing happened, there would be something wrong with him.

He asked several times, but Li Chengqian always went around or changed the subject.

So I didn’t get much hope from asking this time.

"Political affairs?"

But this time Li Chengqian didn't avoid it, but his originally good spirit suddenly became depressed and he sighed.

"I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you. Please do as you please!"

When Ji Song saw him like this, he turned around and left, but it was still too late.

After saying that, he was about to throw away Li Chengqian, and secretly cursed himself for being nosy and talking too much when nothing was wrong. Now it's okay, he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

Li Chengqian grabbed Ji Song and begged!
"Hey, come with me!"

When Ji Song saw that he didn't run away, he could only sigh and take him to the study.

"It's too difficult to be the crown prince. I really want to let my brothers forget it and let them fight for it. I'm really tired."

As soon as he sat down, Li Chengqian slumped on the chair, looking decadent.

"its not right!"

When Ji Song heard this, he felt something was wrong.

Now both Li Tai and Li Ke are focused on the academy and rarely return to the palace. The affairs of the fiefdom are also entrusted to His Majesty.

Now these two of His Majesty's best sons have not made any move. Prince Li Chengqian's position is as secure as Mount Tai, why is it so difficult to do so?

"It's not the brothers, it's the father!" Li Chengqian explained.

Now Ji Song was even more curious. What on earth did His Majesty do to make the always good prince behave like this?
"My father has given Artai and Xiao Ke more fiefdoms. This has made some people have thoughts they shouldn't have. Now everyone in the court is asking my father to let them return to their fiefdoms."

"Everyone knows what they are thinking. What do you mean, Father?"

Ji Songrou was thoughtful and asked, "What did your Majesty say?" "I didn't say yes or no, and I kept putting it off. I don't know what it meant."

Li Chengqian was obviously confused, wondering why his father did this?

Hearing what Li Chengqian said, Ji Song walked out without saying a word.

"No, please analyze it for me. What is going on? If you don't figure it out, I won't be able to sleep!"

Seeing Ji Song about to go out, Li Chengqian quickly grabbed him and prevented him from going out.

Ji Song sighed and said, "Did I ask you to come to me?"

"Yeah. Me"

But before he could finish speaking, he reacted and pointed at Ji Song: "Are you going to blow me up?"

"Hey, not too stupid!"

"I will fight with you"

After saying that, he wanted to fight Ji Song, but was he Ji Song's opponent?

After a while, he was so tired that he was out of breath, but he didn't even touch the corner of Ji Song's clothes.

Looking at Li Chengqian lying on the ground panting, Ji Song squatted down, patted his face and said, "What, you're still not convinced?"

Li Chengqian said angrily: "I can't argue with a reckless man who competes with animals, huh!"

Hey, quite arrogant?

"Do you want to know why His Majesty did this?" Ji Song asked.

Li Chengqian stopped pretending to be dead now and quickly sat up and nodded repeatedly.

Ji Song had some free time and asked, "Do you know how ordinary people's families are divided?"

Li Chengqian looked at Ji Song and shook his head in confusion. Although he was not a palace bird who never left the palace, he still didn't know much about the outside world.

"For example, if I have three sons in my family, the eldest son will undoubtedly inherit most of the family's property. If there is a noble title, the eldest son will also inherit the title."

"But if everything is given to the eldest son, aren't the others his sons?"

Li Chengqian was thoughtful, and Ji Song continued: "His Majesty's thoughts are actually the same as those of most people. He gave the best things to his eldest son, but the others are also his sons!"

"I don't know where your worries come from. If someone else told you, then you should go back immediately and drive that person out of the East Palace. Don't have any contact with him in the future, otherwise he will be infected with his stupidity. for you."

"But if it's your own idea."

Ji Song stood up, pointed at the gate and said: "Then from now on, you should not come to my Ji family's door. The child's marriage has been decided, and I, Ji family, will not regret the marriage."

"But from now on, you and I will never have any contact with each other!"

Li Chengqian opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say?
Seeing him like this, Ji Song said earnestly: "You are the legitimate son and the eldest son. As long as you don't make mistakes, others can't do anything to you."

"You also know about His Majesty's Xuanwu Sect. Just because of this incident, it is even more impossible for him to change his bank account easily."

Ji Song didn't dare to say it clearly, so he could only say this.

Li Chengqian's face turned green and white for a while. He suddenly stood up and gritted his teeth and said, "I will go back and apologize to my father, and I will also drive him out."

Ji Song nodded, not bad, not really dizzy.

He hasn't broken his leg yet, and his temperament hasn't changed drastically. Both his work and his personality are good.

There are also many praises in the court. As long as he does not mess up, his position as prince will be as stable as Mount Tai.

However, just when Ji Song thought Li Chengqian was leaving, he looked torn, looking like he wanted to say something but couldn't.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me, I'll make you uncomfortable!" Ji Song said angrily.

Li Chengqian looked embarrassed, but he still cupped his fists and saluted Ji Song, saying: "Although my father allows me to listen to the affairs of the court, he never allows me to participate in specific matters. I couldn't figure it out, so I went to ask my mother, but I was scolded. pause."

"After that, my mother asked me to come to your place more often when I had nothing to do, so..."

"That's why you didn't say it until now?"

Ji Song glanced at him and really didn't know what to say.

"Please ask Brother Song to teach me!" he cupped his fists again.

Ji Song held his forehead and was speechless. This was a trap where he was going to die. There were no good people in this family. If he caught an honest person, he would be killed. Who did he provoke?

But can I refuse now?
"You are really a fan of the authorities. I'm surprised. Are you so anxious?"

Ji Song stood up and walked to him and said, "If you do more now, you will make more mistakes. If you do less, you will make more mistakes. If you don't do more, you will make more mistakes."

"Do whatever His Majesty asks you to do. Doing what His Majesty tells you well is what you should do most now.

Since I didn't tell you to join politics, let me tell you honestly that your Majesty was in the prime of his life.

His heart is big and far-reaching. What you have to do is to help him fulfill his wishes and ambitions. Don't touch the things he shouldn't touch, and have other thoughts about the things he shouldn't have. "

"I don't know if you understand what I said?"

Since ancient times, the royal family has had no family ties. In the face of the supreme power, everything is vain.

Especially as a prince in front of such an emperor who has such a big heart, Ji Song can also imagine the pressure on Li Chengqian.

But now the most competitive Li Tai spends all his time studying knowledge and has no interest in dealing with political affairs, let alone competing with his eldest brother for the reserve position.

Later, Gaozong Li Zhi was still a little kid, and it was not his turn.

Li Chengqian was thoughtful when he heard this, but he was still a little unwilling to say: "Am I just going to eat and wait to die?"

Seeing Li Chengqian's reluctance, Ji Song also understood what he was thinking. It was the time when the youth was full of energy. Who would be willing to eat and wait to die?

It seems like we have to find something for him to do, otherwise we don’t know what will happen!

"Wait!"

When Ji Song thought of this, a bold idea suddenly came to his mind.

He was thinking of a masterpiece from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty - "Yongle Dadian".

"Yongle Dadian" is a collection of ancient Chinese classics compiled by Zhu Di successively ordered Xie Jin and Yao Guangxiao to preside over the compilation during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.

It was originally called "The Dacheng of Documents". Later, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty wrote the preface himself and gave it the name "Yongle Dadian".The book has 22 volumes, 877 volumes, and about 11095 million words, bringing together 3.7 to [-] ancient and modern books.

The content of "Yongle Dadian" includes classics, histories, zis, collections, poems and songs, astronomy and geography, yin and yang medicine, divination, Taoist interpretation, crafts, and agriculture, covering the knowledge wealth of the Chinese nation for thousands of years.

He came to the desk with some excitement and wrote down his thoughts.

Li Chengqian was a little curious. He was talking. Why are you so excited?

He came behind Ji Song and looked at what he had written.

He didn't take it seriously at first, but when he wrote down the words "jing", "history", "zi", "collections", poems and songs, astronomy and geography, yin and yang medicine, divination, Taoism, crafts, agriculture and so on, especially the last four characters, He was completely confused.

""Zhenguan Ceremony"?"

Ji Song put down the pen in his hand, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Li Chengqian: "Yes, it is the "Zhenguan Dadian", a collection of classics, history, zi, collection, astronomy and geography, yin and yang medical skills, divination, interpretation of Taoism, poetry and songs Fu, crafts, agriculture, etc., are a great treasure that gathers the wisdom of our ancestors from the Central Plains for thousands of years."

Li Chengqian's eyes were dull and he murmured: "Crazy, really crazy."
