Ji Tang

Chapter 704 "World Map"

"We've already retired, why are you still standing here? Come on, go out and play with your brother. I've been quarreling with your sister-in-law these past few days and you won't let me in the room. It's really embarrassing."

Xue Wanche put his arm around Ji Song's shoulders and was about to walk out, but he quickly held him back.

"Have you really gone today? I have something to do with His Majesty!"

At this moment, Zhang Cai came to them and said with a smile: "Good Marquis, Your Majesty will let you pass."

Xue Wanche suddenly lost interest, waved his hand and said: "Then hurry up and get together again when we have time."

Seeing Xue Wanche walking away, Ji Song said: "Let's go, finish things early and go back early."

He asked someone to take the things he had brought and hand them directly to Zhang Cai, while he walked towards the side hall.

"Ouch, what is this thing? It's so heavy?" Zhang Cai saw Ji Song casually giving it to him and thought it wasn't very heavy, so he didn't care. Who knew it made him almost reach his waist?

"Be careful, this thing is more important than your life."

When Zhang Cai heard this, he didn't care about anything and hurriedly held the things in his arms, really afraid of dropping them.

After Li Shimin went down to court, he came to Qinzheng Hall and ate the food prepared by his eldest grandson.

"Your Majesty doesn't seem to be in a good mood today? Why didn't he even say anything when he came to Qinzheng Palace?"

Li Shimin didn't respond and just kept eating.

It wasn't until it was almost done that he took the hand towel brought by Changsun and wiped it casually.

"This kid Ji Song seems to know my purpose. He didn't say a word this morning and was even in a daze. Look at his potential."

Facing the emperor's words, Changsun was stunned for a moment, and then thought of something.

He hesitated and said: "Do you think what you are doing is inappropriate? In recent years, Brother Song has not dared to say that he would die for the Tang Dynasty, but he can definitely be regarded as devoting his whole life."

"He has always treated you as an elder. He never complains about anything he does. As long as you ask him to do it, he will do it beautifully. How many ministers like this have been there since ancient times?
But you have given him a heads-up now, and I'm afraid he won't do things easily in the future. "

Li Shimin was even more irritated when he heard this. This was not meant to be directed at Ji Song, it was just an emperor's instinctive reaction.

But he didn't expect that this kid never worked for the Tang Dynasty because he was the emperor. Sometimes he really wanted to open Ji Song's head and see what this kid was thinking about?
He is such a talented person, but he looks lazy. If you don't push him, he won't leave.

This time he also noticed the signs, and just wanted to nip them in the bud so that he could use this kid better.If this kid really formed a faction in the court that day, it would be too late.

But the only thing I didn't expect was that this kid was so serious. He just acted according to instinct, but Ji Song was never like this.

This kid seems to have sensed danger and wants to protect himself wisely!

Smart people are like this, they like to think wildly, but he can't explain this clearly.If this continues, this kid will one day feel danger and will definitely run away.

"Your Majesty, the good prince has arrived."

Chen Shou entered the main hall, lowered his head and said.

He had served the emperor for so many years, and the emperor's state was very wrong today, so he became more and more cautious, for fear of implicating himself.

"Let him roll in!"

Before Li Shimin could speak, Changsun said angrily.

Li Shimin and Chen Shou looked at their eldest grandson in shock, wondering what kind of temper the queen had.
According to his idea, he would just wait for Ji Song to come in and comfort him, so as to save this kid from thinking wildly.

"Your Majesty, you can't indulge him in this matter. The more you comfort him, the more uneasy this boy will be. You can see my concubine later."

Then he glared at Chen Shou: "Why don't you go quickly?"

When Chen Shou saw His Majesty nodding, he quickly ran out. "I, Ji Song, pay homage to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Ji Song didn't look up after coming in, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear the voice asking him to get up.

He felt cruel and said directly: "I am here to offer something to Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will have someone bring it in."

After saying that, he looked directly at Chen Shou, who then looked at Li Shimin, received permission, and then walked out.

"You are very wronged."

"I am not aggrieved!"

Before the eldest grandson could finish speaking, Ji Song rushed back and choked the eldest grandson half to death!

Li Shimin chuckled, while the eldest grandson glared at Ji Song, took a deep breath, and said, "Your Majesty is doing this for your own good."

"I know."

Being interrupted again, the eldest grandson became a little angry even though he had a good temper.

"Do you still want His Majesty to apologize to you?"

These words are a bit serious. To put it bluntly, it means contempt for your Majesty. Ji Song cannot bear this crime.

Without saying a word, Ji Song knelt down on the ground, lowered his head and said solemnly: "As the saying goes, thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the emperor. I dare not! I can't!"

Changsun was furious. Just when she was about to say something, Chen Shou came in with a long object.When he saw Ji Song kneeling on the ground, he was instantly shocked.

He knew Ji Song's position in the hearts of His Majesty and the Empress. Even this one fell to his knees. It seemed that he had to be more careful.

Seeing Chen Shou coming in, he said directly: "This object was drawn by Ji's caravan and the tribe for nearly ten years, and the caravan suffered heavy losses for this.

I originally wanted to leave it to my family so that my descendants would not have to take away the opportunity for their descendants to advance in life. However, this thing is of great importance and I dare not keep it to myself. I only hope that it can benefit the Tang Dynasty a little. I am very happy. "

"Please ask Chamberlain Chen to open it."

Chen Shou looked at His Majesty and the Queen, whose faces were as grave as water, hesitant!
"Open it, I want to see what it is that can make the good prince of the Tang Dynasty pay so much attention to it!"

Li Shimin, who had been silent until now, spoke up. This was his first sentence since Ji Song came in.

But who is Chen Shou?After serving the emperor for so many years, he still doesn’t know what His Majesty’s temper is?
This is angry!

Glancing at Ji Song, who lowered his head and remained silent, he asked the two chamberlains to open it slowly.

It was too heavy for him to handle alone.

Li Shimin didn't take it seriously at first, thinking it was something from a famous painting.But when he saw what was above clearly, he immediately stood up and came forward.

"This is."

He pushed Chen Shou away and asked someone to hang it on the wall.

Ji Song still lowered his head, but said without emotion: "This is the Map of the World. Most of the maps in the Tang Dynasty are based on current maps, but I used another drawing method to make it more detailed.

Mountains, rivers, cities, checkpoints, roads, important ports, land and water are all marked.Outside the Tang Dynasty, a large number of maps were collected, either bribed, robbed, or coerced and induced. It took ten years to finally achieve success. "

"As far as I know, there are only so many areas where civilization has been born, or can be explored. There are hundreds of organized countries, and there are countless tribes. There are still some areas that are still in a state of ruthlessness."

"Based on the geography, I roughly divide it into Zhongzhou, where the Tang Dynasty is located, starting from the East China Sea in the east, the Southeast Peninsula in the south, the Beihai in the north, and the Western Region Protectorate in the west."

Then he briefly introduced the blond Xizhou, the Nanzhou where the body was poisoned, and the Heizhou where everyone was as black as coal.
