Ji Tang

Chapter 532 Overseas Chronicle: Deposing the Ambassador
Ji Song got up and went to class as usual the next day. When he came to the classroom and didn't see Xue Li, he frowned slightly.

"Sir, Xue Li is feeling unwell and has asked for leave today. Look."

Li Tai suddenly stood up and said.

"Well, let's go to class."

There was nothing more to say. The class still had to be attended. If you have anything to do, wait until after class.

Many students in this class felt that something was wrong with the teacher's demeanor. He made several mistakes during the explanation. Everyone looked at each other in confusion, wondering what happened?

Finally, when get out of class was over, Ji Song didn't have the time to say anything and left in a hurry!
"What's the matter, sir?"

The student behind Li Tai asked as he lay down behind him.

"Don't worry about it, it's none of your business. Why are there so many?" Li Taili ignored them.

"you"

The student behind him is also a noble queen, how has anyone ever said that?

But when I think of the other party’s identity, I can only hold it back!
Li Tai was also worried at this time. Did he say the words, or did he know it when he eavesdropped on the conversation between his father and the ministers. He knew that this matter was still top secret in the court.

What if my father knew it was him who leaked it?

Even if my father didn't tell me, my brother-in-law wouldn't be able to live with it even if he knew it!
"Third brother, I suddenly remembered that I haven't seen my mother for a long time. I miss you so much. Please ask for leave, sir. I will go back to the palace first."

After speaking, Li Ke hurriedly ran out without waiting for anything to say.

Li Ke shook his head helplessly, with no intention of stopping him. He just whispered: "Run? Can you run? I told you not to talk nonsense. It's better now. Do you think it will be safe if you run back to the palace?"

Of course Ji Song didn't know that Li Tai ran away because he was afraid of being punished. He came to the student campus at this time, but he didn't know which room Xue Li was in?

"Hey! Isn't this Mr. Ji? Why are you here?"

Just when he was at a loss, an old man came towards him.

The other party thought he had made a mistake, so he rubbed his eyes to confirm that he was right, and then shouted loudly.

Ji Song was a little embarrassed when he saw the visitor, but still asked: "Oh, it's nothing serious. I just heard that a student named Xue Li was sick, so I came over to take a look. Take a look."

The other party understood immediately, and without any hesitation, he took Ji Song directly to a room.

"You go in, I won't accompany you anymore!"

"No, no, just go about your business!"

Seeing the other party leaving, he pushed the door open and entered.

Xue Li, who was lying on the bed reading a book, had already heard the noise outside and wanted to get up, but was stopped by Ji Song who had just entered.

"Lie down, lie down, I'm just here to take a look."

Ji Song was embarrassed and didn't know what to say. After all, he was the one who beat him up like this.

"Sir, don't think too much. The student is fine. Li Tai has already told the student. If he knew about it, sir, the student would not go to you to talk about this matter."

Ji Songlian's face darkened, he shook his head and said, "No matter what, I can't take my anger out on you."

He checked Xue Li's injuries and was relieved after making sure there were no hidden injuries.

If Xue Li was hurt secretly because of himself, he would not forgive himself!

The two sat down and talked, but in the end they both fell silent.

"Can you tell me why you want to go to sea with the ship? Don't give any high-sounding reasons or make achievements. Mr. still knows your temper and you can't do this."

Xue Li opened his mouth, remained silent for a moment and said, "It would be a lie to say it's not for the sake of making achievements, sir. It's not entirely true to say it's the whole story."

He looked at Ji Song with burning eyes and said, "You may not know your status in the hearts of us students."

Ji Song was stunned. He didn't expect it to be related to him?

"Young man became famous. He was granted the title of Marquis due to his military exploits before he was even young. He defeated the Turks three times and went deep into the enemy camp to kill the enemy's leader alone. Then he founded the Sinong Temple and added millions of fields to Guanzhong. After that, a mere thousand people were employed. Horses trample the Turkic royal court."

"With all these things, what's not something we yearn for?"

"but"

Suddenly, his eyes dimmed, and he said: "Now the Tang Dynasty is overwhelming the country, and the world is surrendered. Although there are minor illnesses, there are no major wars. If we want to get ahead, we can only slowly gain qualifications."

He looked up at Ji Song and said, "The student doesn't want to waste time like this. The student had an idea when he heard Artai talk about this."

"Did that boy Li Tai tell you?" Ji Song asked.

"Yes"

He felt something was wrong before he finished speaking. Wasn't this betraying Artest?

"Sir, this has nothing to do with Artest."

He hastily explained.

Ji Song raised his hand to signal him to stop talking.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "I didn't expect it to be caused by myself. What can you say, Mr. Jean?"

"If I had a choice, I would be a fool to hang my head on my belt."

Seeing Xue Li's disapproval, Ji Song sighed and stopped talking.

They all came from a young age. Who doesn’t have the dream of becoming famous as a young man and riding a horse all over the world?
but.
"I regret accepting you as my disciple now. I shouldn't have recruited you into the academy in the first place. You haven't gone through the ups and downs of the world. After all, you were a bit radical."

Xue Li looked at his husband in confusion, wondering why he said this?
Was it a mistake to recruit myself into the academy?

Ji Song ignored his doubts, thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, take my post to the Ministry of Etiquette. Ji Qing and the others will study there. If you can pass their test, sir, there is no reason to stop you from pursuing your dreams."

Xue Li originally thought there was no chance, but he didn't expect a sudden turn of events. He quickly tried to get up, but his injuries were affected, and he grinned in pain.

Seeing his look, Ji Song smiled.

"Silly boy, take good care of yourself. The opportunity is given to you. It's up to you whether you can seize it or not."

Ji Song left, leaving with Xue Li's silly smile.
So, three days later, Xue Li, who was still not very quick, appeared at the Ministry of Rites
Ji Song didn't intend to take care of the follow-up matter. Those three boys were all human beings and they must know what he was thinking. As for whether Xue Li could pass the test of the three of them, it all depended on his luck.

A lot of things have happened in Chang'an recently, perhaps the most eye-catching one is Jie Li.

Yes, he died, taking his own life in loss and humiliation.

His life was not in vain. At his peak, he suppressed the Central Plains, trained hawks and dogs, and almost destroyed the new Tang Dynasty.

Although he was defeated and captured in the end, his life was not in vain!

Li Shimin did not make things difficult for Jie Li after his death. No matter how great the hatred was, the humiliation he had suffered against him in the past few years could be regarded as revenge.

Death is like a lamp going out, there is no need to care about a dead person.

According to Turkic custom, the body was burned and then buried.A generation of grassland overlord, the former Turkic Khan, how arrogant he was at the beginning, but in the end he was just a cup of loess?
With the death of Jie Li, a lot of chaos also occurred on the grassland. Some die-hard Jie Li wanted to start a rebellion, but before it could start, they were killed by the Tang army stationed in the grassland.
"Depose Ambassador Zhi?"

Ji Song stood up and looked at Wei Zheng in surprise.

"That's right, this is what I recommended. How about going out for a walk instead of just doing nothing all day long, right?"

Ji Song said with a dark face: "I am teaching, why am I just doing nothing?"

Wei Zheng looked at him with disdain and said: "You spend three days fishing and two days drying nets, and you still teach? You can't just wait for death with the imperial salary."

"I happen to be responsible for supervising the conduct and performance evaluation of all officials. How long have you been idle at home? If you don't come out to work, I will ask your Majesty to stop your salary."

"People's wealth and wealth cannot support useless people."

Ji Song was so angry that he pointed at the old man's nose and cursed: "Who are you calling a loser?"

Wei Zheng glanced at him, the meaning was self-evident!

"you"

Du Ruhui stopped Ji Song and said helplessly: "If you want to say something, say it well and don't make personal attacks."

"And you, Wei, you said that you obviously have good intentions, but you have to act like an enemy. Why are you provoking him when you have nothing to do!"

Wei Zheng said disdainfully: "I just can't stand the way he does nothing despite being capable, and I feel ashamed to be associated with him."

After hearing this, Ji Song was no longer angry. He pushed away Lao Du's hand and said, "Humph, this is just jealousy. He is a weirdo for being jealous of talented people."

"I don't have the same experience as him!"

After saying that, he sat down to drink tea again, only pouring tea for Lao Du. As for Wei Zheng?Like to drink or not.

"You guys!"

Lao Du pointed at the two of them and didn't know what to say.

Wei Zheng, however, didn't take it seriously and poured himself tea, not treating himself as an outsider at all.

Ji Song rolled his eyes and ignored him!

"This time, in addition to you, there are 12 other people including Li Jing, Xiao Yu, etc. who are inspecting various roads with you. You are going to Jianghuai and other places. According to His Majesty's instructions, you are asked to visit Mingzhou Port and Dengzhou Port and provide them with advice. Comments."

"Now the officials in the two ports have something to do with you. They are either your old subordinates or your father-in-law's former colleagues. If you go there, it can be regarded as a self-examination. It will save everyone from causing trouble."

Ji Song was stunned and said in surprise: "Is this someone's corruption or did you discover something? Such a big move?"

Ji Song knew that these 13 people were equivalent to the Daitian Xunxu in the Ming Dynasty, and they had considerable power.

The deposed ambassador was originally a temporary position to review the performance appraisal and promotion of officials. It was not a permanent position because the power was too great.

"They dare!"

Wei Zheng said: "Except for Xiang Dang, the Khitan side is at war, and all other places have surrendered. Now is the time to deal with internal affairs. If Your Majesty hadn't refused, I would have had to go."

"It's time to clean up some cysticercids in recent years. I didn't care about them before, but now I have enough time to clean them all up. Why don't we wait for them to continue to harm the people?"

Ji Song didn't say anything, he just gave a thumbs up, indicating that you are awesome!
But what Lao Wei said was right. When the world was pacified, many officials would continue to be appointed as long as they made no serious mistakes. However, times have changed, and many of them can no longer keep up with the current situation.

Thirteen ambassadors, including him, were sent out this time to clean up these people.

Look who are they?

Li Jing, a member of the military, needless to think about going to those places in the north where there are many arrogant soldiers and powerful generals.

If Xiao Yu's guess is correct, it's Jiangnan. He is familiar with the place and can do it easily.

As for him!

Everyone has decided to kill him. There are two ports, one in Qingzhou and the other in Yangzhou. This is for Xiao Yu and him to supervise each other!
Sure enough, the emperor's thoughts were not simple.

"why me?"

Ji Song asked, and he was also confused. Logically speaking, the ministers sent out this time were all respected or mature ministers. How could he, a young man, go in there and try to figure things out?

"I have no choice. I have chosen everything I can think of. I can only choose the taller ones among the short ones and make up for you."

Ji Song rolled his eyes, knowing that he wouldn't hear anything good from him.

Seeing the two of them coming together today, I knew that I couldn't refuse this matter.

The emperor did not call him to speak or directly issue an imperial edict, which was already giving him face.

If other ministers don’t care whether you want it or not, you have to go if you want to go, and you have to go if you don’t want to go. Is that something you can refuse just by saying no?

Today, Old Wei's words are full of sticks and thorns, because he can't understand that the emperor treats Ji Song so differently.

Lao Du and Ji Song have a good relationship, so they came together, otherwise he and Wei Zheng would have to fight!
Ji Song thought for a while, and there was nothing to do now anyway. He would be in Dengzhou when he went to sea, and he would just go to see off Ji Qing and the others.

Besides, since I have been in Datang for so long, I have never been to other places except for the grassland where the wind and snow blew for more than half a year, so I treated it as a trip at public expense.

"Okay, why bother you two to come here for this matter? It's just a matter of sending a message, so it won't be such a waste of time and effort."

He stood up and clasped his fists at the two of them and said, "Please report back to Your Majesty so that Marquis Jisong can receive the order!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that the atmosphere had improved a lot, and Wei Zheng's dead face rarely showed a smile!
"Hahaha, that's right. You're so young, what's the point of staying at home all day? It's better to go out for a while while you're young. The scenery of the Tang Dynasty will definitely not disappoint you."

"His Majesty has said privately that if you are appointed as the governor of a party, it is estimated that the place will be in great control within three years. This shows how much he values ​​you!"

Ji Song curled his lips and said, "Forget it. It's okay to let me come up with ideas. How about three years of governance if I govern the place? Thank God if the people are not allowed to rebel."

Wei Zheng just breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard Ji Song's words, his face suddenly darkened, he pointed at Ji Song and cursed: "Mud can't hold up a wall!"

After saying that, he tossed his sleeves and turned around to leave.

Ji Song pointed at himself, then at Wei Zheng who was leaving, and whispered to Du Ruhui: "Is this old man sick or something? Why is he targeting me everywhere?"

Du Ruhui glanced at Ji Song strangely and said, "You really don't know?"

Ji Song quickly shook his head.

"Actually, I don't know either, hahaha, just think about it slowly!"

"We're leaving. Remember to go to the Etiquette Department tomorrow to hand over. There are a lot of things you need to bring, hahaha!"

Ji Song scratched his head and looked at Lao Du who was laughing, as if he was happy that he didn't know why?
Forget it, if you can’t figure it out, stop thinking about it, whatever!
People with a good mentality are like this. If they don't understand something, they don't think about it. If they think about it, it's in vain. It's better to do what you should do. You'll understand it naturally when you should understand it.

Du Ruhui caught up with Wei Zheng and told him what Ji Song said. After he finished speaking, he laughed.

"You said this kid is also a very smart person, why can't he figure it out?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Wei Zheng's mouth, but it disappeared quickly, and he said in a low voice: "That boy just cares about eating and not fighting. This time, our work has been in vain. He doesn't have that thought."

They said this, but both of them knew that Ji Song was the first and only person who could make His Majesty do this.

Sometimes envy cannot come, maybe only Ji Song's indifferent temperament can prevent him from taking it seriously, right?
