Ji Tang

Chapter 880: Good Marquis Mansion
Chang'an, Chongrenfang, Haojuhou Mansion!
As the eldest son of Ji Song, the Marquis of Hao, Ji Run is already a young man of twelve or thirteen years old. He is dressed in plain dark clothes and has already started to tie his hair. He should be at an age where he is innocent and foolhardy. But at this moment, he was sitting on the rockery in the backyard, sighing and looking troubled.

"Xiaorun, Xiaorun!"

At this time, a girl who looked a few years older than Ji Run ran over, shouting Ji Songrun's name as she ran!

call!After seeing Ji Run, the girl took a deep breath and then said: "Why did you come here again? Mr. Baishan is looking for you everywhere. It seems that grandpa is here. Come down quickly!"

"Ah? Grandpa is here?"

Ji Run exclaimed and jumped down from the rockery in one click. His body was light and he landed silently, which showed that his kung fu was pretty good!
"Quick, come with me. If grandpa finds out that I skipped class, he will be nagging me!"

Ji Run said as he walked.

He is not afraid of others, he is afraid of grandpa.

In fact, there is no other reason. It is because Xie Lian likes to chatter and talk about all kinds of big principles. Think about it, can a teenager of twelve or thirteen years old listen to you?
But as a junior, Ji Run could only listen. If he dared to kick his child, not only would his mother beat him, but his grandma would not care about him either.

Therefore, every time Xie Lian came, the boy had a bitter look on his face, but he was worried about being caught by his grandfather again.

When Ji Run came to the outer courtyard, she saw her grandfather talking to the good teacher Mr. Baishan, and her mother was waiting beside her. She was relieved to see them talking and laughing!
"Run'er pays homage to grandpa, sir, mother!"

"Yu'er has met Teacher Baishan, grandpa, and aunt!"

Ji Run and Li Yu came to see each other and behaved in a well-behaved manner, not daring to break the rules at all!

Not to mention that Li Yu was the prince's legitimate daughter, and she was the princess of Lantian County in the Tang Dynasty. Even when the prince came, he didn't dare to show off to these two people.

Mr. Baishan is one of the great masters and scholars of the Tang Dynasty. Xie Lian is now the Zuo Shilang of the Household Department of the Tang Dynasty, the Secretary of the Zhongshu Province, and Xuanling, the Secretary of the Household Department, is the official name. Xie Lian is in charge of the Household Department on weekdays. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the operation, and if nothing else, within a few years, the position of Minister of Household Affairs will belong to Xie Lian.

"I have met the princess!"

"I have met the princess!"

But no matter what, Li Yu was the royal princess and His Majesty's granddaughter. They did not dare to neglect her, but they just nodded slightly, indicating that they had seen her before.

However, You Ning, as the wife of the Marquis of Hao, smiled and said nothing.

It's not that You Ning maintains his own identity, but that this is authorized by the emperor's decree. In the Haorianhou Mansion, Li Yu is just a junior, and she must bow when she sees Ji Song and his wife!

"Grandpa and teacher must not do this. If Grandpa Huang finds out, Yu'er will be punished again. Besides, Yu'er is a junior, and it should be Yu'er who gives you the gift!"

Li Yu said crisply.

The two looked at each other and saw the satisfaction in each other's eyes!
It’s not easy to be a royal relative. Look at all the princesses now.From the daughter of Emperor Gaozu to the daughters of His Majesty, which one is more economical?
Nowadays, there are various rumors outside, either this princess is raising a handsome man, or that princess has kicked out the consort, which is simply a disgrace and no shame!
Because of this matter, I almost made several teachers who taught the Queen and the Grandson angry to death several times. But fortunately, the younger ones of His Majesty are pretty good now. Since they entered Taibai Academy Women's College, there are Li Gang and The emperor didn't even give face to the emperor. Those princesses were controlled extremely strictly, and they would be severely punished for the slightest mistake. It's not that the queen never asked for mercy, but what do you think Li Gang said?
"If the queen feels that I am incompetent and not worthy of teaching the princesses, then please ask the queen to take those princesses back to Chang'an."

"As the first students of the Tang Women's College, if they cannot set an example for the women of the Tang Dynasty in terms of moral character, knowledge, and education, then it would be worse than nothing. Anyway, sooner or later, the reputation of the royal family will be ruined, and I will not be able to continue running this college. Save it. We old immortals are approaching the end of the earth, but we will not be able to survive until the end of the year!"

Got it!

Now that all is said and done, the queen can't say anything no matter what she wants to say.

As a queen, she was a role model for the women of the Tang Dynasty. If he blamed Li Gang for this matter today, then how could she, the queen, have the face to teach the women of the world?
Isn't the "Women's Rules" that I wrote just a joke?
Without the instigation of these lawless princesses, the younger generation also received strict instruction from their elders. They have also watched Li Yu grow up over the years, and they still understand and recognize the child's character very well.

The child has basically spent these years in Haojihou, which is no different from his own home, and it is longer than the time he spent in the East Palace.

"Run'er?"

Xie Lian looked at Ji Run and shouted.

Ji Run immediately became excited and said quickly: "Run'er is here!"

"Why did you skip class today? Is it because Mr. Baishan can't teach you, or is it because your knowledge has surpassed that of your teacher?"

Xie Lian hated the iron and said: "As the legitimate son of the Hou family, you have the best resources, but you are so troublesome. Your father is fighting with the Goguryeo people. I heard that he almost died. You, you are so angry with me." ."

When you're done, you have to find something to clean up this little thing. This kid has become less and less worry-free during this period. He skips classes every now and then. I don't know what's going on?
Ji Run turned pale when he heard his grandfather's words. He didn't care about being beaten. He quickly took his mother's hand and said nervously: "Mom, is what grandpa said true? How is dad now?"

Seeing that his mother didn't speak, he suddenly became anxious!

"You should speak up. What happened to dad?"

You Ning saw that his son was really anxious, so he glared at his father angrily, and then tapped his son on the forehead.

"Okay, your grandpa is scaring you. The war in Goguryeo is over. Your father will be back in a while."

Xie Lian rolled his eyes when he heard his daughter trying to undermine him!

But seeing his grandson so nervous, his father was filled with relief. No matter what the child was, he was still a filial son. As long as this was taken care of, everything else would be a small problem!

"Humph!"

Xie Lian snorted coldly and said: "Don't listen to your mother's words. Your father first faced the [-]-strong army of Goguryeo veteran Yang Wanchun with less than [-] troops in Goguryeo. If it weren't for his luck,"

"Although we won, it was a miserable victory. Your father worked hard for you and your mother, but how about you? Why don't you study hard with your teacher and skip class?"

"It just doesn't make sense!"

Xie Lian was so angry that he blew his beard and stared. He was really offended.

Since the emperor left, the prince has overseen the imperial court.Fang Xiang assisted the government. As the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he was actually in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, a key department of the imperial court. It is not an exaggeration to say that he held a high and powerful position.

The confidential documents of the imperial court could be seen immediately. When he learned that Ji Song almost died, he was almost frightened to death.

Fortunately, Yang Wanchun was frightened by Ji Song and retreated early. This gave Ji Song a chance to breathe, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable!
Later, the emperor was besieged east of the Liao River by Yuan Gaisuwen. When the news came, the government and the public were shocked. Fortunately, within three days, new news came.

This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief!
"This time I'm here to see you, and to tell you something!" Xie Lian looked excited and said loudly: "Do you know? Ji Qing, Liu Xiancheng, Wang Xuance, Xue Li, and Ji Shi More than a hundred of our children have come back, and not only have they come back, they have come back full of glory."

Ignoring You Ning's surprise and excitement, he continued: "Do you know how your Majesty was saved?"

Mr. Baishan said in disbelief: "Could it be Ji Qing and the others?"

Xie Lian nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, it's them!"

"First, we united the four countries of Baekje, Silla, Sushen, and Buyeo, and combined with the naval fleet under Song'er. With a total of more than [-] troops, we entered the hinterland of Goguryeo from the northern coast of Goguryeo, and broke through Pyeonghyang, the capital of Goguryeo. He killed Mo Zhili, the deputy prime minister of Goguryeo, captured countless noble officials of Goguryeo alive, and even captured the treasure of King Gao of Goguryeo."

"On the way back to the army, they learned that His Majesty was trapped. They galloped through the starry night and finally arrived at the battlefield at the last moment. With 1 men, they defeated the Goguryeo army of more than [-]. They rescued the army from danger and achieved a unique feat!"

"Ten years, ten whole years!"

"Not only did they come back, they also made great achievements, great!"

No wonder Xie Lian was excited. Although the Ji family has developed well in recent years, their own family knows their own affairs. Very few of the Ji family's children have entered the court as officials, and there are not many of their own in the court.

Everyone knows the reason for this, and therefore feels very sorry for Ji!
why?
Not all the real elites of the Ji family have gone to sea, and there has been no news for ten years. If they were still there, the Ji family would have soared into the sky.

"Really? Qing'er and the others are really back?"

You Ning said excitedly.

Apart from Ji Song, no one wants these children to come back more than him these years.

At first, due to her own reasons, she forced her husband not to go. Although her husband didn't say anything about it, she knew that it had always been a thorn in her husband's heart, a thorn that could not be pulled out.

"Not bad!"

Of course Xie Lian understands his daughter's difficulties, but now things are better, the children are back, and the past things have gone with the wind.

"no!"

You Ning said anxiously: "I have to go to Zhuangzi right away!"

After finishing speaking, Xie Lian walked out immediately without waiting for anything to say, but came back in a short while later.

He picked up Ji Run and Li Yu and went out again. As he walked, he said, "You and mother go together. We don't know what trouble will happen later. You go and watch!"

Seeing his daughter leave in a hurry, Xie Lian shook his head helplessly and let her go.

He knew what his daughter was doing. How could the orphans and widowed mothers in Zhuangzi have lived in these years? How could he still not know?
If Ji Song hadn't been so powerful, could the natal families of those children's wives have kept their daughters widowed?

But in order to settle the matter, Ji made a three-year agreement, and the three-year period was less than a month away.

If they didn't tell them the news in time, something might have happened!
"Okay, okay!"

Mr. Baishan pounded the table excitedly. He had seen Ji Qing and others before. They were young talents!
I haven’t been back for so many years, and it feels like a pity every time I think about it!
It's fine now, finally the clouds have cleared and the moon is shining brightly, everything is over!
Xie Lian also lamented: "Who says it's not the case? I still don't know how my son-in-law has survived all these years?"

"There was a rift between me and You Ning because of this matter. Now it's fine. It's all fine!"

The two of them talked some more. At this time, Mr. Baishan looked outside the door first, and after confirming everyone, he whispered: "What is the situation of Hou Junji now? Why do you say he is the opposite?"

"What else can we do? We are now besieged in front of the imperial city by General Li and all the princes. We have been energetic these past few days. Anyway, there are less than a thousand people left at this time. They were defeated by General Li yesterday and were taken into custody."

Xie Lian sighed a little.

Who would have thought that a coup that was supposed to be so powerful ended in such an anticlimactic end.

It didn't even cause much commotion in Chang'an!

During this period of time, apart from the closure of the city, Chang'an did not take any major actions at all. Some people did not even know what was going on!
"Alas! Who says it's not the case? You said the same goes for Hou Junji. He is now considered a very human minister. Why doesn't he know how to be satisfied?"

"A piece of news that he didn't know was true or false made him take a desperate risk. Fortunately, the prince was not involved, otherwise it would have been a complete mess!"

Mr. Baishan said somewhat thankfully.

Xie Lian also nodded. He was also frightened at that time. He rushed to the East Palace immediately, just to prevent the prince from committing a crime. If the prince rebelled, Ji, who was deeply involved with the prince, and They, the Xie family, are afraid that they will also be in trouble.

But before he could rush to the East Palace, he heard the news that the prince rejected Hou Junji. After that, whether it was the queen or the minister, the actions of the princes were really dazzling. This joke-like coup turned out to be In less than three days, it completely disappeared!

It was just a quick glance, dizzying. Before he could figure out what was going on, the thing was over. At this point, he was still confused!
"That guy Ji Song should have known about this in advance!"

Mr. Baishan Yubu was so stubborn that he scared Xie Lian half to death with just one sentence!

He quickly stood up and walked outside the door. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found no one. He closed the door of the living room and said solemnly: "Who told you this? This is not a joke. If His Majesty finds out,"

Mr. Baishan waved his hand, interrupted Xie Lian's words, and said directly: "On the night when Hou Jun gathered his army, the soldiers of the Hou Mansion moved the old lady and children out in advance, and even the old man was sent out of the city. Later, you controlled the situation and returned to Chang'an."

Hearing Mr. Baishan's words, Xie Lian was stunned and pointed at Baishan, not knowing what to say?

Can I talk about this casually?Even though he is Ji Song's in-laws, this is a major matter that affects the life and death of a family. How can he tell himself?
"Okay, do you know what you are thinking?"

Mr. Baishan said angrily: "In my opinion, there is no intention to hide this matter from anyone. Everyone who needs to know is known. According to Commander Ji Lu, Li Jing, Cheng Zhijie, Qin Qiong, and everyone from the eldest princess's residence all arrived in advance that night. Evacuated”

Xie Lian was shocked. He looked at Baishan in disbelief and suddenly thought of something that he had never dared to think of before!
Lure the snake out of its hole, or alert it?Or should I say that you are invited to enter the urn?
Even as a fool, he knew that there was an ulterior secret behind this incident, but when he thought of the person behind it, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and shook his head quickly trying not to think about it!

"You must never tell anyone about this again. The damn water is too deep. I even want to go home and retire."

Xie Lian smiled bitterly.
