Ji Tang

Chapter 570 Rules!

"Are you really going to be a local official?"

Ji Song was stunned, and when he saw Pingyang's concerned eyes, he smiled bitterly.

Unexpectedly, Pingyang also knew about this matter. What he didn't say must have been said by that boy Li Chengqian. There was no one else but him.

Based on the third uncle's understanding of Ji Song, how could he not know how much impact his death would have on Ji Song, so it was already passed down that he was only allowed to observe mourning for three months.

His ability to come to Chang'an means that the time has come, and he has no reason to live up to the old man's hard work.

Besides, he doesn't pay attention to this situation, just keep it in mind.

Do those who frequently observe filial piety for one or three years really do it to commemorate their ancestors?
Not really, right?

The reason I came to Chang'an this time was to go to the palace and ask for a favor from Li Shimin to let him out.

He really couldn't stay in Chang'an anymore. When he opened and closed his eyes, he could see his third uncle and those children. If this continued, he would go crazy.

He had had this idea before, especially when he saw that the people at the bottom of the Tang Dynasty were still living in dire straits, he couldn't help himself.

I thought that the prosperous age was coming and the lives of the people at the bottom would be better, but now it seems that I took it for granted.

The people at the bottom of feudal society are just tools of the rulers. If they can have enough food and clothing, they are already in a prosperous age.

But Ji Song doesn't think so.

He is from the Hereafter and knows what they want.

But the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty was a prosperous age for the upper class, and the situation of the people at the bottom did not change much.

They are still digging for food in the fields all day, and the children cannot study. If nothing happens, they will spend their entire lives in the fields like their parents.

He wanted to find a new way for the people to survive, hoping that they would have another option when they were desperate.

"Yes, I used to think that the people were living a good life, but after this inspection, I realized how shallow I was."

"They're not supposed to be like this."

"Many people still don't have enough to eat, and their lives have no guarantee. As long as there is a natural or man-made disaster, everything will fall apart in an instant."

"I want to take a look and see if I can find another way to survive for the people of Datang, so that they will not be so powerless in the face of disaster."

Pingyang looked at the calm Ji Song, feeling silent in his heart.

She knew that what Ji Song said was right, and she also wanted to change in the past, but as her status improved, she gradually forgot her original intention.

Since when did she change?

"Well, staying in Chang'an has really imprisoned you. You have ideas and the ability to turn your ideas into reality. This is something we don't have."

"Just do whatever you want, my aunt will always have your back."

Ji Song looked up at Pingyang, stepped forward and hugged her gently, then immediately let go.

"Thank you!"

Pingyang was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at him angrily.

"Have you decided where to go?"

Ji Song shook his head: "No, I will go wherever His Majesty asks me to go. It doesn't matter where I go, what matters is whether it can be helpful to the people."

"I don't dare to say that I will be able to govern one area, but there is still no problem in governing a county and a state." Pingyang looked at the confident and high-spirited man in front of him and felt a lot in his heart. The boy back then had grown up. Take responsibility.

This is what I want to see the most, but why can't I be happy?
"Okay, let's just treat it as an outing. In addition, I will stay with Runer, and I will ask you to take care of him when the time comes. Don't let him be bullied."

"Who dares?"

Pingyang's eyebrows were raised. Not to mention Ji's own strength, if he knew about his relationship with Ji and dared to attack Ji Run, this person would either be crazy or not want to live.

"Okay, I'm just afraid of accidents. Don't be too spoiled to him. If he doesn't study hard and practice martial arts, he'll be beaten or scolded as he pleases."

Ji Run, who was playing in the backyard, couldn't help but shudder and looked around suspiciously. After finding nothing unusual, he started playing again, completely unaware that his father had sold him out.

"But what did someone say?"

No wonder Pingyang asked this. With Ji Song's relationship with the royal family, there would be no problem even if the whole family was taken away.

The reason for keeping Ji Run, the eldest son, is tacitly understood by everyone, but is it necessary?

"No, these are the rules. Since I want to enter the officialdom, I still have to abide by the rules, so as to save others from gossiping."

Although he didn't care, it was still very troublesome, and it was just a pain for Ji Run.

But what can be done? Who made him the eldest son of the Ji family?

When God gave you a birth, he also set up responsibilities for you. You want to be rich but also want to be free. How can there be such a good thing in the world?
"Well, since you have already decided, I won't dissuade you."

After Pingyang finished speaking, he ordered someone to fetch the children. The meals were almost ready. The children should be impatient!
After dinner, he took his children home.

When he came back, Ji Ze had already crawled into Ji Song's arms and fell asleep. The kitten was also very sleepy, and Ji Run, an energetic boy, was still jumping up and down, showing no sign of being sleepy at all.

Also, this kid is the treasure of the whole family at home. He has never been in shortage of any good things since he was a child, and sometimes he can't use them all.

Since I started practicing martial arts and laying the foundation, I have been using various medicinal foods. Last time when Sun Daochang came to Chang'an, he said that this kid has too strong foundation and needs to be restrained.

"Where have you been? Have you delivered so many things to your home in the past half day?"

When You Ning saw Ji Song coming back, he quickly took the child over, and then started scolding him again.

Ji Song pretended not to hear, took a sip of water and said, "Go to my aunt's house to see her. If she comes to Chang'an, do you believe she can come to your door?"

When You Ning heard that he was going to his aunt, he complained a little: "Then you should tell me, what's the matter with you going empty-handed? Are you afraid that people will say that our family doesn't understand etiquette?"

"Okay, let's not talk about this. If I go with a gift, my aunt's bad temper will make me take your last name if she doesn't throw me out with the gift."

Ji Song said angrily, considering the relationship between the two families, etiquette and so on were all empty.

The matter ended here. Ji Song seemed to have thought of something and said, "You will come to the palace with me tomorrow and bring the children with you. It's unreasonable to come to Chang'an and not visit the empress."

"It's up to you to decide on the gift or something. It shouldn't be too expensive, it doesn't look like a gift, it just needs to be what you feel like."

You Ning nodded: "Okay, I understand."

He knew what her husband was going to do tomorrow, and she had no reason to stop him. She had already said that she would take them with her anyway, but it was a pity for her to be alone at home.

"Run'er is still so young."

Ji Song planned her words and said: "Don't talk about this matter anymore. This is the rule and the responsibility he should bear. Besides, with my aunt taking care of him, what else do you have to worry about?"

You Ning sighed, everyone said that the child is the treasure of the mother, and she would be most reluctant to leave the child behind, but what her husband said was right, there should still be rules.
