Ji Tang

Chapter 705: Stop, stop!
Half an hour later, when Li Shimin put aside the shock in his heart and came to his senses, he asked directly: "Why didn't you offer it earlier?"

"You know, if we had had this map, it would never have been so difficult to clear out the Western Region, let alone so many soldiers."

When he understood the map, he immediately understood how important this gift was. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a national treasure.

Detailed mountain geography, accessible roads, mountains and forests, and even deserts have a route for marching.With this picture, there are no less than [-] elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

In particular, the national geography above fascinated him even more. He thought that the Tang Dynasty was invincible in this world, but he did not expect that it had such a powerful neighbor.

I'm slacking off, what does Jie Li mean?What do Qin Huang and Han Wu count?With this map, a brand new world has slowly opened to him.

The simple map he got from Ji Song last time made him understand that there are many powerful countries in the world, even as powerful as the Tang Dynasty.

But he was too brief, with only a simple outline. Even the population, economy, military, etc. of those countries were ambiguous, which made him feel stuck in his throat.

After that, he sent many people to explore, but by this time, they had achieved little results, which was better than nothing.

It's too far, thousands of miles away, passing through the yellow sand wall, walking through the vast sea of ​​glaciers, only a few people can reach the destination.

Even if you get to the place, it's still the end of the world, not to mention the completely different environment and unfamiliar people.Under such circumstances, it is simply impossible to obtain more useful information.

Ji Song understood what Li Shimin meant, lowered his head and said: "One general's achievements are like those in a spring boudoir's dream. The Ji family has paid too much for this. I just mentioned it casually at the time, but they took it seriously. When it appears, The ministers stopped him immediately if they were injured or killed, but they acted secretly without telling me.”

"Purchased it at a high price from merchants, found local agents, bribed the city lord, kidnapped and extorted it, coerced and lured it, and even framed it. They did everything they could."

Ji Song looked up at the map hanging on the wall and thought of the uncle of his own race who gave the map to him.The uncle who lost an arm when he went to war with his father, after knowing that the caravan needed protection, stood in front of Ji Song's gate holding a horizontal knife and refused to leave.

To this day, he still remembers what this uncle said: "If I can come back alive from the battlefield, it is already a reward from God. Since my family needs it, I have no reason to wait for death."

This is the self-esteem of Guanzhong people. Although it is silly, it is extremely tender.

They don't know how to sweet talk, but their inner pride does not allow them to accept charity.

For ten years, he worked hard to bring back all the drawings he had obtained.When he appeared in front of Ji Song, who would have thought that he was less than 40 years old and already gray-haired and haggard.

He left on the third day after returning, very peacefully, even with a smile.

Ji Song will never forget his smile. It was a smile of relief and relief.At that moment, he somewhat understood the concept of family in this era.

It is the blood bond of the same clan and the same origin, and it is also a kind of profound sustenance.Family in the world, family in the world, this may be the essence of this era.

Ji Song's words were like ghostly murmurs, creepy.

"This is something stained with Ji's blood. From the moment it was made, it has never appeared in the eyes of the world. This is what I, Ji, paid for with my life, and it is also a testimony of my Ji Song's shame."

"Then why did you take it out?" Changsun said with a somewhat moved expression.

Ji Song said expressionlessly: "Because Datang needs it more. Today, when the world is convinced, Datang needs a key, a key that can give wings to Datang."

"Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty, which has no enemies and no goals, will prosper and then decline after releasing Manan Mountain. It will be an inevitable outcome."

"What a key, the key that gives wings to the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin jumped up and came to Ji Song and said excitedly: "Yes, this map is the key. I thought I was invincible, but who would have thought that there are countless countries in the far west." Ji Song, cheer up, I will take you to conquer them, and let the glory of the Tang Dynasty shine forever!"

"Aren't those veteran generals worried about me killing the donkey? Now it's better. With this map, they will probably jump for joy."

Ji Song lowered his head and said nothing, and Li Shimin's voice slowly became quieter until it was completely silent.

Chen Shou wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in. It was so damn depressing.

The eldest grandson frowned and opened his mouth to speak but stopped.

For a moment, the entire Qinzheng Hall could be heard, and only the breathing of a few people was left!
"Your Majesty's ambition shocked me, and Emperor Qin and Han Wu were just like that. I believe that under your majesty's leadership and with the help of the two prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty, Fang Mou and Dudu, we will be able to succeed."

"Your Majesty is not satisfied with the despicableness of my ministers, who live simply in the countryside. Your Majesty does not regard my young and ignorant ministers as a pest, and loves him very much. He often treats me as his son or nephew.

I was born in the countryside, and embarked on the road of conquest to avenge my father.In the weak year of the crown, he was granted the title of Marquis of Haojun County in the founding of the country. The prosperity of the holy family was unprecedented in ancient times.

He organized an agricultural department, opened up acres of land, and increased grain production so that there would no longer be food shortages in Guanzhong; he entered Mobei and served as the commander-in-chief of the rear army at a young age; however, the weather was unpredictable, and the land was prone to disasters and blessings. Mobei In a critical situation, I was ordered to stand among the white demons. More than a thousand cavalry and horses trampled the royal court. Your Majesty, Quan Nai, is blessed with blessings from God.

He went down to the south of the Yangtze River, built more than ten large ships, and went to sea in the ninth year of Zhenguan. He served as the governor of Xuanzhou for more than five years. I was extremely frightened, but fortunately I never broke my promise to your majesty. "

Ji Song took a deep breath and said in a solemn voice: "My disciples Ji Qing, Liu Xiancheng, Wang Xuance, and Xue Li have been at sea for more than five years, but there has been no news. I dream about them at midnight every day and I am in pain."

"As your minister, I, Ji Songxia, am worthy of the people's trust and worthy of His Majesty's grace."

"As a husband, I am unworthy of my first wife."

"As a father, I return home after five years. The son does not know the father, and the father does not know the son."

"I, Ji Song, am ashamed to be a teacher!"

With tears streaming down his face, Ji Song kowtowed to Li Shimin and said, "I hope that your majesty will develop martial virtues and become an emperor throughout the ages."

"Please also ask Your Majesty to be considerate of my humble feelings and give me some time. I am so confused at the moment that I don't know how to deal with myself."

"It is said that if the family governs the country, the world will be peaceful, but I can't even manage the family, so how can I govern the country?"

"Your Majesty, Ji Song, paused in fear, paused!"

Ji Song fell to the ground, his eldest grandson staggered and took a step back, and Li Shimin even closed his eyes and said nothing!

After a long time, Li Shimin opened his eyes and looked at Ji Song, who was bowing his head on the ground, with complicated eyes.

"Get up! I agreed."

Li Shimin sighed. He really couldn't ask Ji Song for anything more. It turned out that this child was living such a miserable life. Why didn't he tell him?
"Take care of the beginning and end of the Ministry of War, and then feel free to revise the laws of the Tang Dynasty!"

Looking at the map hanging on the wall, Li Shimin seemed to understand something.The look he looked at Ji Song was even more complicated.
