Ji Tang

Chapter 855: Drag me out and hit a hundred big boards again.
As soon as Ji Song finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

It’s not that I don’t want to say it, it’s that I can’t.Why did those defeated troops come to Anshi City hundreds of miles away?It's not that they thought that Liaodong City had already fallen and the remaining defeated troops were not a concern, so they didn't think much about chasing and suppressing them.

But who would have thought that they actually ran away from Anshi City and entered the city. Seriously speaking, this matter has nothing to do with them.

If this is because Ji Song was punished at this time, then who are they?Accomplice?

Li Shimin's face turned dark. If he hadn't been in public now, he would have beaten this bastard. This was a slap in his face, but he had agreed to it at the beginning.

"Cough cough!"

Du Ruhui coughed awkwardly, which relieved the embarrassing situation.

"Your Majesty, Jihou does not have many troops here, and he fell into the trap of the old thief Yang Wanchun. He did not check for a while and allowed the thieves to take advantage of the loophole. Therefore, it has little to do with Jihou at this time. Please give him a gentle sentence. !”

With Du Ruhui taking the lead, others would dare to make a fuss about this matter.

"What Xiang Du said is right, please give me a lighter sentence!"

Seeing everyone's behavior, Li Shimin secretly laughed in his heart, and then slowly said: "Well, since all of you are interceding for Ji Song, I can't touch everyone's face."

Then he said to Ji Song: "Ji Song!"

"Chen is here!"

"Since all the ministers are interceding for you, I don't want to be too harsh on you. I'll give it up now. You will be fined for one year as punishment!"

"Are you convinced?"

Hearing the emperor's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. That's fine. In this way, it has been settled now, and no one can think of settling old scores in the future.

Although nearly [-] soldiers entered Anshi City, making it much more difficult to attack the city, after all, no one expected that such a thing would happen.

"No, Ouch, why are you kicking me?"

Ji Song turned around and glared at Lao Du, as if he wouldn't finish without giving an explanation.

"I told you to stop when you see a good boy, don't be ungrateful!"

Du Ruhui gritted his teeth and said.

Unexpectedly, just after killing Ji Song, this kid would catch him in the blink of an eye.

Ji Song stretched out three fingers, and the meaning was self-evident, that is, the soldiers would have one meal of meat every three days, otherwise everyone would be miserable.

"Okay, I agreed for them!"

What else can Lao Du do?I could only reluctantly agree.

Ji Song was satisfied now, but Li Shimin gritted his teeth in hatred. This was kidnapping everyone. This guy was getting more and more insidious. This method, tsk tsk, was really
"Okay, let's talk about the second thing!"

Li Shimin quickly put an end to the matter and quickly changed the subject, otherwise this kid would not know what was going on!
Everyone was also curious, what happened that made Ji Song plead guilty to His Majesty?
They don't think that what happened just now can do anything to Ji Song, not to mention that everyone is responsible, so what happened just now is just an introduction, and the next thing is the highlight!
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for deploying troops privately!"

Ji Song bowed and apologized without saying a word.

"Deploying troops privately?"

Li Shimin was stunned. When he came in just now, he saw that the number of lieutenants in the army had not decreased. It was basically the same number as the number reported. He could not have seen it wrong.

This is a skill that a general who leads troops must know. Otherwise, how can he still fight if he doesn't understand how many people under his command are?

Although everyone has their own way of counting quickly, there is not much difference. At most, it is a matter of accuracy.

Since there are a lot of people here, where did he transfer his troops?

While everyone was deep in thought, Changsun Wuji seemed to think of something and his whole body was shaken.

"Oh? What does Wuji know?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

Changsun Wuji stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, do you remember what the envoys from Baekje and Silla said at the gate of Liaodong City?"

Baekje and Silla envoys?
"At the beginning, the envoys of the two countries said that there were ships in the northeast of the peninsula. All people or ships that came close were detained. Even the people they sent to negotiate were detained and never came back."

Li Shimin's eyes narrowed. He knew from the beginning that this bastard would not be honest. Although he would not openly disobey orders, he would definitely do a lot of things in private.

Now it seems that it should be the Navy. The Navy fleet has been wandering at sea. In addition to transporting supplies, it also clears the sea to prevent the other party from raiding from the sea.

"Jisong!"

Li Shimin shouted loudly, patted the case, and said angrily: "You still haven't recruited me from the truth!"

However, what surprised everyone, Ji Song was not worried at all, but looked at everyone and said, "Do you remember a fleet that went to sea ten years ago?"

Seeing everyone's confused expressions, Ji Song sneered: "It seems that no one remembers it."

"Snapped!"

He hit the desk hard with his fist, causing the solid wood desk to fall into pieces, and everyone who saw it looked shocked!
"Then let me remind you all."

"Ten years ago, I and many distinguished nobles united with the Southern Family to build ships. During this period, many people withdrew, but I did not stop them. I even paid back double the original contributions."

"Do you remember this at this time?"

He went around and found that there were Li Ji, Xue Wanche, Zhang Liang and other people who had withdrawn early.

"I remember this!"

Xue Wanche stood up, looked at Zhang Liang and said contemptuously: "Some people wanted to take advantage and quit early. But I didn't expect that those who didn't quit now have made a fortune, and now they regret it."

"I don't have that vision. I blame others for not giving him a chance. He actually has the nerve to want to join again. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?"

Li Ji also said: "Yes, it does happen, but what does it have to do with what you said today?"

"Stop beating around the bush and tell me what happened that made you hesitate to deploy troops privately?"

"Do you know this is a serious crime?"

Li Shimin took the high seat, not knowing what he was thinking.

Ji Song said loudly: "Of course I know that deploying troops privately is a serious crime. You don't need to remind me!"

"I just want to ask, does anyone still remember why they went to sea?"

"They risked a near-death life. They were here for ten years. How many decades are there in life? They spent ten years of their youth. Do you ever remember their mission?"

"No, no, no, you all forgot, you don't even remember."

"But I remember it, I remember it clearly!"

He poked his heart and said sadly: "Because they are the children of my Ji family, the disciples that I, Ji Song, taught over the past ten years."

"They fought for the Tang Dynasty through life and death, even risking their own youth and lives. Others can forget it, but you all here can't forget it."

"They had just given birth to a child when they left. Now have you ever gone to Ji's village? It's not so much my Ji's clan as it is a widow's village."

"More than a hundred children can't even remember what their father looks like, and his wife is in tears all day long. Ever since they went to sea, Ji's family has lost any laughter."

Ji Song had already burst into tears. There were some things he didn't want to say. He could swallow his anger, but Ji Qing and the others couldn't.

They risked their lives and went to wild lands tens of thousands of miles away to obtain things that the empire had inherited for thousands of years.They deserve the praise and all the glory from the entire Tang Dynasty.Why should they remain unknown?Why can't they get such praise?
After learning about Ji Qing's plan, he agreed without thinking.

If these children want a decent return, then he can give it to them as a teacher.All those who come back should receive the most attention and glory.

"They're back?"

No matter how stupid Du Ruhui was, he still understood the meaning of Ji Song's words.

It’s just that I really can’t believe this. Someone who hasn’t had any news for ten years is now back?

"Where are they now?"

Li Shimin couldn't sit still anymore. He originally sent them to find high-yielding crops.But after all these years without news, he gradually calmed down his thoughts.

But now someone told him that the person who went to sea had returned?How can this be?

"What else did they say?"

Zhang Shigui, who was behind Li Ji, wondered.

He hasn't reacted until now. Aren't everyone asking about Ji Song's crime?Why did Ji Song scold and accuse everyone?
Li Ji sighed and asked, "Do you still remember Tang Jian, the Duke of Ju?"

"Tang Jian? Of course I remember that I worked with him back then, but I haven't seen him for a long time since he was sent to do something by His Majesty ten years ago."

Zhang Shigui was stunned, and combined with what he said just now, he was surprised and said: "The Duke of Ju was also the one who went to sea at the beginning?"

This is the Duke. Since the emperor reduced his title, there are only a few famous Dukes. Back then, he actually sent out all the Dukes. This standard is not low at all!
"Not bad!"

"For ten years, I thought he was gone, but now it seems he is back."

At this time, even the dullest person can understand.

"Boy, tell me clearly when did you come back? Are they okay? How many people are left? Is that boy Ji Qing back?"

Yuchi seemed very excited, but anyone who knew the inside story would understand.

Ji Qing married Yuchi Gong's youngest daughter, but after giving birth to the child, Ji Qing disappeared for ten years.

Seeing his daughter crying all day long, as a father, he saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart!
It's not that he never thought about remarrying, but this girl just didn't agree and even went on a hunger strike to force her to do so, leaving him unable to do anything.

Ji Song cried and laughed: "I'm back, I'm all back. Brother Qing, Xiancheng, Xuance, Rengui, they're all back."

"The old immortal Tang Jian is also back."

Du Ruhui was very anxious at this time and asked quickly: "When did you come back? Why didn't you report it to His Majesty? How could you hide such an important matter privately?"

But Ji Song sneered: "If I am dissatisfied, should I let them return to Chang'an in obscurity?"

"Even if they don't care, I, as a teacher, can't care!"

"They worked hard for the Tang Dynasty. Shouldn't they enjoy the glory they deserve? What's the point of going back secretly? Are they so shameless?"

"You are simply unreasonable!"

Du Ruhui pointed at Ji Song and didn't know what to say, so he could only curse.

But Ji Song doesn't care!

"Speak carefully, or I will make you sober up!"

Li Shimin said with a dark face.

Ji Song huffed and said aggrievedly: "Can you still be reasonable? Isn't it enough to lose your temper for my disciples?"

"It's okay to lose your temper. It's okay even if they come back to have a fight with me, but now let's make things clear first!"

Ji Song had no choice but to take out the letter he received.

But when Li Shimin saw the ghost-drawing talisman on it, he became furious.

"This is written by that idiot Liu Laoer. You know it's okay to ask that bastard to play with knives. As for the writing, you can just make do with it!"

Li Shimin suppressed his anger again and tried hard to identify the handwriting on it. Well, let's just treat it as words!

"Everyone in the north of Goguryeo is fine!"

Li Shimin said to Ji Song, "You still sent someone to look for it? Tell me, what method did you use to get there? I know your backhands very well, unless..."

At this point, he suddenly paused. After eliminating all possibilities, there was only one truth left.

"You are just like a rabbit. As soon as I walked away, you went to continue building ships?"

"Tsk tsk! What a great skill, what a great skill!"

Ji Song no longer behaves and wallows now. It is not difficult to guess this. Now that the emperor knows about it, he still doesn’t know how to deal with himself!
"Put this aside for now. I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"

He glared at Ji Song fiercely and gave up on trying to deal with this kid for the time being!
"Then what? The date on this letter has already passed three months. Where have they been during this time?"

But after he finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, and murmured: "Three months ago, ships appeared near Silla and Baekje to the north of Goguryeo?"

He turned around suddenly, looked at Ji Song, gritted his teeth and said, "Did you send a fleet to find them?"

Without waiting for Ji Song's response, Li Shimin said angrily: "Ji Song, you are so brave. You dare to send a fleet to find your disciples while our army is fighting. It is simply lawless and does not distinguish between public and private. I don't think you are alive." Is that enough?"

"Someone, drag this thing out and hit it with a hundred big boards!"

"Give me a good beating. If anyone dares to let go, we will beat him together."

Ji Song's face turned green when he heard this. If the fight continued, would he still be alive?
"Your Majesty has been wronged. I really don't blame you for this. This is your order. I dare not disrespect you. I am really wronged."

"Fart, when did I ever issue such an imperial edict? Well, not only did you mobilize your troops privately and use the public for personal gain, but you also dared to falsely pass on the imperial edict?"

"Come here, drag it out and chop it up."

Li Shimin was simply driven crazy. This bastard dared to do anything. He even used it to fake the imperial edict. What else could he not do or dare not do?
Ji Song was dumbfounded when he heard this and quickly winked at Du Ruhui, but he just offended someone, now they will help you?

Others are also watching with their eyes, nose and heart, as if it has nothing to do with them!

"What are you waiting for? Drag me out!"

Li Shimin said angrily.

Ji Song suddenly became excited and said quickly: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? You gave them three blank imperial edicts when you left?"

"Your Majesty, please think carefully?"

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that such a thing did happen.

"Your Majesty, the ministers and others were also present that day. It is true that such a thing happened."

Du Ruhui saw that it was almost done, and then he spoke.

Ji Song quickly gave Lao Du a grateful look, but he didn't pay attention at all!
