Ji Tang

Chapter 677 Don’t disturb him
"Is this an academy?" Di Zhisun asked in surprise.

Di Zhisun's surprised look made Ji Song feel funny, but understandable.

In the Tang Dynasty, the Imperial College in Wubenfang had the largest number of students. In the pre-Sui Dynasty, it had at most tens of thousands of students.

But after the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Imperial College now had only a few thousand students, and it was already the highest university in the Tang Dynasty.

Even so, its area is only the area of ​​one square. Compared with Taibai Academy at this time, it is dwarfed and there is no comparison at all.

Taibai Academy had [-] students five years ago. After several years of enrollment expansion and academy expansion, there are now more than [-] students studying in the academy at the same time.

Basically, all the children of people with some connections in Chang'an go to school here, and with the students recruited from local schools every year, it can be said that the best of Datang is basically concentrated here.

"It's getting late now, so you can go to my place!" Ji Song invited.

Di Zhisun was a little moved, but in the end he declined: "There is a special reception place in the academy, not to mention there are many inns along the way, so I won't disturb the Marquis."

Ji Song pondered for a moment and stopped insisting!
Seeing Ji Song walking away, Di Zhisun's wife got off the carriage and whispered: "Why did you refuse the invitation from Marquis Ji?"

Di Zhisun touched his son's head and sighed: "There are some things you don't understand, and you don't know why the Marquis fell in love with our Jie'er."

Looking at his son, he said with some pity: "Meeting such a person is not a blessing or a curse for our son."

Mrs. Di's face instantly turned pale, and she said anxiously: "But what's the matter? Can't you please not let Jie become your disciple?"

"Don't be impatient, things are not what you think!"

Mrs. Di was stunned, not understanding what he meant?
Di Zhisun took them to an inn and asked for an upper room. After everything was settled, he saw that his son was already asleep, and then he said, "Do you know how many disciples Ji Hou has?"

Mrs. Di wondered: "Is it a lot?"

"Not many, just four."

"But now there is no news at all. Even the hundreds of elite disciples of our Ji family have no news at all."

"what?"

Mrs. Di was so shocked that she screamed loudly.

"Keep your voice down, don't wake Jier up." Di Zhisun said angrily.

"No, I don't agree! My son must not worship him as his teacher. I don't agree with anything you say!"

It was fine that she didn't know before, but when she found out that so many disciples had not been heard from, it frightened her.

What could have caused so many students to disappear?It’s scary just thinking about it!
"Okay, don't worry, listen to me slowly."

Di Zhisun had a headache, but he could understand his wife's thoughts. After all, it was his biological child, so he said he was not worried about his death.

"Mom, dad. You just agree, sir, he is really good." Di Renjie came in from outside at some point and said.

"No, so many of his disciples won't agree to it no matter what!"

"mother"

Di Zhisun interrupted them and said with a wry smile: "Since you heard it, then tell me why you want to worship Jihou as your teacher?"

Di Renjie said seriously: "Dad, during my time in Chang'an, my son got to know many people, and I heard these things from them."

Then he said with some admiration: "I heard that Sir has four direct disciples, namely, Ji Qing, Liu Xiancheng, Wang Xuance and Xue Li."

"According to everyone's rumors, Ji Qing and Liu Xiancheng are members of the Ji clan and have been taught by Ji Hou personally since they were young. Whether it is the collection of classics and history or the study of things, they are the leading talents among their peers. Even His Majesty once praised them." "Wang Xuance." My son doesn’t understand, but to be accepted as a disciple by Marquis Ji, he must be a leader among people.”

"As for the fourth disciple, he is an ordinary citizen from the east of Hedong, but I heard that he is born with supernatural powers and knows military tactics well. Not only did he learn from Ji Hou, but he was also valued by Duke Wei and many generals and personally taught him the art of war."

Finally, he took a deep breath and said: "Even the current ships of the Tang Dynasty were built from scratch by three of them, who were not yet adults at that time."

"As for why they disappeared, it's because they were ordered to go to sea with thousands of the most elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. There has been no news for five years."

Di Zhisun touched his beard, but the shock was still revealed in his eyes.

He didn't know what they were going to do, but it must be something important to the Tang Dynasty.

Even the current Duke of Ju, Tang Jian, went with the ship, which showed that this matter was not as simple as he thought!
Seeing the persistence in their son's eyes, the Dicksons knew they couldn't stop him.

This kid has had good ideas since he was a child. Once he makes a decision, he won't be able to pull back ten cows.

"But you have to know that my father rejected Jihou's kindness tonight, and he must be aware of my father's concerns. For Jihou, who is so proud, it will not be easy for you to become a disciple again!"

In fact, Di Zhisun's mood was very complicated. He knew that as long as his son became a disciple of Ji Song, the road ahead would be much easier.

But I am also worried that my son will disappear without a trace like those other students.

Di Renjie gritted his teeth and said, "My son wants to try it!"

"That's all, if you want to go, just go and give it a try and see if you have this opportunity."

Di Zhisun also figured out that as long as he did not agree in the future, his son would never go to sea, and he would be tied up at home even if he was tied up.

When Di Renjie heard his father's promise, he immediately beamed and began to imagine his future life.

The couple didn't bother him, they just looked at each other.

After many years of married life, each other's every move can understand what the other person means, but there is no need to say it out loud.

Walking down the path to the academy, Ji Song's combination still aroused the attention of many people.

He was quick-thinking and probably guessed who was coming when he saw the big yellow dog.But he didn't come forward to disturb him, he just bowed from a distance.

Ji Song smiled and nodded, which made the students even more excited!
As long as they are students in the academy, there is no one who does not know the deeds of this marquis.

What's more, this academy was built with money, and its knowledge was recognized by the Tang Dynasty. Such a person cannot be too respectful.

Ji Song's arrival brought many changes to this academy.

At this moment, any gentleman or student with some status basically knew that Ji Song was here.

After more than five years, the Tang Dynasty prince who founded Taibai Academy came here again.

Li Gang was startled when he heard Ji Songlai, and was about to go out when he reacted.

But when he reached the door, he turned around and came back.

"Leave him alone, tell the others not to disturb him, and just do whatever you have to do."

Although the visitor was puzzled, he still went out and conveyed Li Gang's words.

Li Gang looked blankly at the groups of students outside the window. Thinking of a few familiar faces, he sighed: "They are all sins. How come there is no news about such good people?"
