Ji Tang

Chapter 701

"Master Hou, isn't this a bit much? After all, they are."

When Ji Song sent people to stay behind, Han Yuan hesitated on the side.

"What are you worried about? Are you worried that the people behind them will settle accounts with me? Or are you worried that I won't be able to resist?"

Ji Song drank tea and said nonchalantly.

Han Yuan was speechless, this was exactly what he was worried about.

The relationships between these people in the military are complicated, and their influence can affect the whole body.What's more, these people are just little shrimps. Their families are in Chang'an. The court can flatten and round them as much as they want. They have no ability to resist.

What really worried him was the border troops. They held military power and could cause catastrophic disaster if they were not careful. He couldn't help but worry!
"Don't worry, this matter is not as simple as you think."

He stood up and said to Han Yuan: "Go and ask Duke Wei, Duke Lu and others to come to the Ministry of War and say that I have something to discuss with you."

Han Yuan was stunned and said in confusion: "Master Hou, what are you doing?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, just get on with your business!"

Waving his hand, Ji Song had no intention of explaining!
Seeing Han Yuan leaving, Ji Song also started to walk out and told the officials nearby: "I am going back to the mansion. If they come, you should treat them well and don't neglect them."

"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I understand!"

Ji Song nodded and left quickly.

"Why are you back, Lord Marquis?"

It was only noon at this time, and he knew that Mr. Hou was on duty, and he would not come back at noon.

"I will get something, and you can give Honglei some water to drink!"

Touching Hong Lei's long face and seeing the sweat all over his body, Ji Song sighed and walked directly inside.

Lao Zheng held Hong Lei in his hand and said as he walked: "You, you don't enjoy the good blessings, you have to suffer yourself. It's okay now, you can cry like this at such a short distance, if only that day"

Honglei seemed to understand what Lao Zheng said, and shook the horse's head with some dissatisfaction, motioning for him to hurry up.
When he came to the study, he knocked on the west wall. When he heard a hollow sound, he stopped immediately.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally pressed it.

'Crack! '

I remembered a very slight sound and saw a hidden grid appearing in the wall.

The space was not large, only a foot wide, but it was very deep, and the thing inside was only a scroll.

"I thought you would never be born, but who would have thought that one day I would be useful to you."

Ji Song laughed at himself, picked up the things and closed the secret compartment!
This is a scroll that is as thick as a palm and three feet long.

He did not open it, but carefully wrapped it in silk, like a rare treasure.

In the lobby of the Ministry of War, Li Jing and others were drinking tea in boredom. Han Yuan, the left minister, and other officials were carefully accompanying them, for fear of neglecting anyone.

These few people in front of them are all big shots who can make the Tang Dynasty tremble by stomping their feet, but they can't afford to offend any of them.

"What's going on with that kid Ji Song? You've been here for a long time and you haven't even seen him? Are you kidding us?"

Cheng Yaojin shouted with his loud voice.

Han Yuan rolled his eyes and thought, they are not human beings because of their feelings?

Li Jing had a lot of free time and was not impatient at all.

Yuchi Gong sat on the chair and didn't know what he was thinking.During this time, he was often in a daze and refused to ask questions.But smart people like Li Jing and others can probably guess some.

He has been like this since he last entered the palace.

And what I said at the entrance of the academy last time made me feel even more awe-struck.Being with a king is like being with a tiger. At their current position, there is nothing to be promoted.Now I just think that His Majesty can watch their achievements over the years and live their lives peacefully.

But now the emperor's temperament is becoming more and more violent and irritable, and he often imposes heavy punishments.

Coupled with the current instability in the army, Your Majesty cannot help but think wildly.

But what can they do?They are all in the army. If you don't care, who will listen to you if you lead the army in the future?
This is a matter of breaking one's own arms. It's not that they don't give in, but that in the end, they are just meat on the chopping board and can be slaughtered by others.

This is not acceptable to them.

They are all veterans on the battlefield. What have you not seen in this life?If it is really a last resort, they will
Forget it, we haven’t reached that stage yet, so we absolutely don’t dare to have this thought!
"What do you think this kid wants to do by calling us here? Go back to get something? Does he think the things he brings can make us feel at ease?"

Li Ji's face was a little gloomy. He wanted to govern the army strictly, but it was impossible to eliminate his subordinates.

Many of his old subordinates committed crimes this time, and they were quite young. If he had done it, they would have died ten times.

But now that His Majesty has caught him, he can't even sleep peacefully. He is worried that someone will break into his house and take him into custody while he is sleeping.

There are too many such examples. How many of the founding heroes had a good ending?
Your Majesty is not a soft-hearted person today. If you really make up your mind, they may be in trouble!

"For the sake of our old brothers, I would like to remind you."

Yuchi Gong suddenly raised his head and said.

"Now that the world is at peace and there are no worries on the frontier, I'm afraid there are very few opportunities for us to go to the battlefield. If we don't have the opportunity, it is probably unlikely that we will go to the battlefield in the future."

He looked around and continued: "Some things must be stopped in moderation. Only by retreating from the rapids can you be wise and protect yourself. Your Majesty is not a ruthless king, and we should not be ungrateful."

"That's it, think about it!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at the roof in a daze, as if he was not the one who spoke just now.

Everyone looked at each other, they were all mature people.The warning in these words is too obvious.What on earth did he experience in the palace?
"I kept you uncles waiting for a long time. My nephew is late."

While everyone was contemplating, Ji Song finally arrived.

"You all go down, this is none of your business."

Hearing what Ji Song said, the Ministry of War officials were immediately relieved. They had wanted to leave for a long time. What did these big guys say?Is this what they can listen to?

"I'm resigning. If the Marquis has any instructions, just tell us directly." Han Yuan said.

Ji Song nodded: "Go out and close the door. Don't let anyone in without my instructions."

Han Yuan bowed and said, "I understand!"

When only a few of them were left in the entire lobby, Ji Song didn't speak.

He took off the silk from the scroll in his hand and threw it directly to the ground.

Go behind the desk in the middle and take down a map on the wall.

"Wow!"

Slowly opening the scroll, everyone was a little curious, but they didn't move. They wanted to see what kind of medicine Ji Song was selling in this gourd, so solemn?
Ji Song hung the scroll on the wall and slowly opened it.

Li Jing didn't care at first, but when the scroll was halfway open, he stood up in shock.

They are all veterans of the Tang Dynasty. How can they not be familiar with maps?
Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji, Chai Shao, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and others all had their eyes widened.

It's not that they haven't seen the world before, it's that this map is too detailed, and many places on it are the first time they've seen it.

"Where did this come from?" Li Jing was so excited that he almost pulled out his beard.

But no one paid attention to his gaffe, because they were not much better.
