Ji Tang

Chapter 914 Who said they were the only ones to go?
"It took you three years to leave today. It's too late to regret it now. Do you want to stop thinking about it?"

At the gate, Ji Song looked at everything neatly packed and dressed up like a man, Wu Mei said at last.

"When have I, Wu Mei, ever given up halfway in my work? Master, don't worry, Ji. I promise to make Nanzong prosperous and not embarrass you."

Ji Song looked helpless and glanced at the silly son beside him who was looking at Wu Mei. For a moment, he really didn't know what to say.

"I asked you, can you please say a word? You act like a fool. It's embarrassing!"

He kicked Ji Ze, feeling a little angry that iron is not as strong as steel.

After being kicked, Ji Ze looked away, but what he said almost made Ji Song, the father, angry to death!

"Don't worry, daddy. I believe in Meier. She is so smart and will definitely not let you down."

Ji Song held his forehead, You Ning even pinched his son, Wu Mei, needless to say, De Yijin got angry just looking at him.You said that Ji Ze, a kid who usually looks quite mature, is so stupid when it comes to things between children, right?
Please, your wife is leaving, and she has been gone for three years. How big of a heart do you have to be so relieved?As a father, he is worried about you, okay?

Wu Mei, doesn’t your father know better than you who he is?Once this is released, it will definitely be a case of Sayazi letting go and running away. This little girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp. To expect her to be safe and sound, it is better to believe that a sow can climb a tree!
"Okay, get out of here now. It's good to leave. I'll be fine if I leave. I'll be upset just watching it at home!"

Ji Song said as Ji turned around, he didn't want people to see the softer side of his heart.Since Ji Qing and others haven't returned home for ten years, he doesn't want people close to him to go away.This is not the future world. It only takes a few hours from south to north, so there are not so many sorrows about separation.But it's different here. Once we go far away, the distance is really the end of the world. Sometimes a serious illness can separate us forever.

"When you leave, remember to take those people prepared for you by the teacher. They may not be of much help to you, but they can be life-saving in critical moments. Treat them well, and as long as you treat each other sincerely, they will never let you down. .”

Wu Mei listened to her master's words with a smile on her face, but tears flowed out involuntarily.

She kowtowed respectfully to the master and his wife, and then shouted to Ji Ze: "You silly boy, wait for me to come back at home. If you dare to see a woman outside, be careful."

"Did you hear me?"

Ji Ze nodded quickly and said: "Don't worry, I, Ji Ze Ji, will recognize you in this life, and we will get married when you come back!"

This made Wu Mei, who had always been heroic, blush and said angrily: "What are so many people talking about? Humph!"

Finally, she took a deep look at her master's back, then mounted her horse and shouted: "Let's go!"

After a long time, Ji Song said quietly: "Don't look at it, I don't know if it's a mistake for you to be together. But since you have confirmed it, you won't say anything as a father."

He patted his silly son on the shoulder, gave him a wish-for-goodness look, then hummed an unknown song, swayed through the door with his hands behind his back.

"As for that? Meier is pretty good, right?"

Ji Ze still doesn't understand what kind of wife he has chosen. They say that people who fall in love have negative IQs. Now it seems that they are true!
"You! There will be times when you suffer in the future!"

You Ning nodded his son's forehead angrily. He really didn't know what to say.Although she didn't have much contact with Wu Mei, but based on her husband's attention to the child, it was not difficult to see that Wu Mei was by no means an ordinary person.

Seeing that Aye and his mother were gone, Ji Ze scratched his head in confusion and asked the silent elder brother: "Brother, what do you mean by your parents? I think Meier is very good?"

He clasped his fingers and said, "She is knowledgeable, reasonable, calm and decisive when faced with problems. She is also good at taking care of the family business, even my mother can't compare to her. She is also beautiful, what's wrong with her?"

Ji Run turned around and looked at her little brother carefully, until Ji Ze felt uncomfortable all over, and then sighed: "These things you mentioned, apart from being beautiful, I don't think they should be placed on a woman. Is this woman in particular suitable for your future wife?"

"Okay, who made you my brother? If something happens if my brother doesn't resist, who will take care of it? If you can't go home in the future, don't be polite to my brother. You will always have a place in the family!"

After saying that, he didn’t care whether the little brother understood or not, he just followed his father’s footsteps and left.

"They are all weird and boring!"

The silly boy curled his lips, and then he suddenly laughed stupidly as he didn't know what he thought of.Pedestrians passing by the gate thought they were fools!
"Hey! Why are you giggling? Did you dream about your wife?"

Just as Ji Ze was giggling, a very annoying voice sounded in its ears.

"It's okay if you take care of it!"

Can he bear this while having a sweet dream?I went back to the past immediately.But he was dumbfounded before he finished speaking. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough, otherwise today would be extremely happy and sad!

"Jize, boy, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Ji Ze was crying. Who would have thought that the emperor would come to his home?I was still giggling in my dream, now I was done with it in embarrassment.

"I've met Grandpa Fang, Grandpa Du, and Grandpa Changsun!"

Yes, behind the emperor were Fang Du and Chang Sun.Ji Ze was almost ready to cry now, looking at a few people with grievance!

"Ahem! Why aren't you leading the way? What are you doing standing there stupidly? Are you really stupid?"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he touched Ji Ze's forehead, as if to confirm whether he was really stupid.

"Your Majesty, touching your head confirms whether you have a fever. Are you mistaken?"

Ji Ze's face was covered with black lines, and he was filled with grief and anger, but he didn't let his tears fall!
"Hey! What does this stupid boy know? I forgot about it for a while!"

After saying that, he slapped him in the face.

But whether it was Li Shimin or the smiles on the faces of the people behind him, it all showed that we were just playing tricks on you, which made Ji Ze even more angry and turned red in the face.

"Eh? Why are you blushing? Are you like a little lady?"

Changsun Wuji's words completely destroyed the remaining persistence in Ji Ze's heart. The crying people roared: "You are bullying people!"

After saying that, he ran away without looking back, but the people behind him laughed heartily, showing no guilt at all for bullying the young man!
"Hey! Why is this child crying?"

As soon as Ji Song returned to the backyard, he heard the housekeeper coming to report that the emperor was here.Just when he ran out in a hurry, he saw his precious son crying so sadly!
"I want you to take care of it!"

Ji Ze roared, and without caring about anything else, he ran away without a trace!

"This kid!"

Ji Song shook his head and ignored him. He stepped forward and saluted: "I didn't know that Your Majesty came here, but I missed you from a distance. Please forgive me for your sins!"

Li Shimin waved his hand and ignored Ji Song, minding his own business and walking inside.Ji's mother, You Ning, and Ji Run, who came after hearing the news a moment later, also quickly saluted!

"Okay, I just came to see you, but thanks to you you gave me the secret recipe to refresh my mind, which made me feel comfortable for a few days."

Then he looked at Ji Song and sighed: "It's not like some people who eat from me and drink from me. They are still ungrateful and only think about getting benefits from me. They are just white-eyed wolves and have suffered so much from me." "You have to dig deep into your heart." "This person can't be honest. If you are honest, others won't keep your kindness in mind."

"Jisong, do you think this is true?"

She's your sister, yes, this refers to Sang scolding Huai, cursing me around the corner and pretending I can't hear you?It's so deceiving!
"What your Majesty said is that that person is nothing. Your Majesty scolded him well, scolded him wonderfully, and scolded him like a croak."

"Shut up you!"

Li Shimin quickly kicked Ji Song, and then his ears were cleared.

"I said you have an itchy skin? Or do you think I'm too good to you? Do you believe I'm going to hit you right now?"

Ji Song scolded his mother in his heart, but he said aggrievedly: "Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness, I don't dare!"

"Hey!"

Li Shimin pointed at Ji Song. He didn't know whether to beat or scold him. This bastard was just a copper pea that couldn't be boiled or smashed. He said he was on the pole?
"Don't imitate me from now on, do you hear me?"

Ji Run looked at the emperor blankly, then looked at his father, with a look like "Where am I?"What am I doing.

But just say it, why are you kicking me?

Ji Song looked at his son sympathetically and thought to himself: Silly son, where are you now? You will understand how difficult it is for dad in the future.

Li Shimin really didn't want to talk to this bastard Ji Song, but something happened in Japan today, so he could only say with a dark face: "Where does the pestle look good or something? Why don't you lead the way?"

Ji Song suddenly realized this and quickly walked ahead to lead the way.

After a while, everyone came to the study room, and Li Shimin sat directly at the main seat.But what makes Ji Song angry is, just sit down, but why are you carrying something in your arms?
And You Ning, a prodigal bitch, are you blind?Didn't you see that all your belongings were taken away?
You Ning didn't look sideways, as if he didn't see anything. He made tea for everyone, then left and closed the door behind him.

"Keming, tell this kid what happened!"

After drinking Dahongpao, Li Shimin lay back comfortably and gave orders.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Du Ruhui took out a secret report and handed it directly to Ji Song, saying: "Read it yourself first!"

Ji Song took the secret report in confusion, and when he opened it, he was surprised.

Looking up at the emperor, Ji Song didn't understand until Li Shimin nodded that this was not a prank or a joke.

But how dare they?
Then he read it carefully, three times, until he completely understood it, and then put down the secret report.

He didn't speak, but closed his eyes and thought carefully.This fact is so big that it can be said that there is no precedent at all, and there are similar examples that will cause endless disasters!

Li Shimin, Fang Du, and the eldest grandson looked at each other, but neither bothered Ji Song.Only at this time can they see a convincing temperament in Ji Song.

He is usually carefree, but when it comes to serious matters, he is definitely more serious than anyone else.

To be honest, Li Shimin was really moved after seeing this secret report.

Harm to aristocratic families has long been something that the unified dynasty must face.This is not something that can be decided in a fight.

Think about the huge population and the monopoly on the interpretation of classics that has been held for hundreds of years.Disciples and former officials were all over the court, and privately they penetrated into every aspect of the Tang Dynasty.This simply cannot be solved by killing a group of people.

Once you have this idea, the Tang Dynasty will be in chaos. This is an indisputable fact!
But just last night, a dead man who had been in the family for many years sent this secret report overnight.I was really angry at first, but after calming down and thinking about it carefully, this matter can be regarded as a solution to the family's complete solution.

As for whether there would be an internal and external alliance, he could only express that he was not afraid at all!
As an emperor, no one understands the temptation of power better than him.

We do not rule out the possibility that they will develop and grow, but the biggest possibility is that they will have internal strife, or even fight to the death for their own benefit.

However, this matter was really of great concern. According to the secret report, those people would have a full showdown with him soon, so he immediately came to Fang Du and Changsun to discuss it after he went to court.

But after much discussion, we still couldn’t reach a consensus!

Fang Xuanling was worried that they would become powerful and endanger the Tang Dynasty; but Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji strongly supported it, and the three couldn't argue. Finally, Fang Xuanling suggested asking Ji Song to listen to his ideas.After all, this kid always takes one step at a time and sees three steps at a time. There may be some things that he sees far ahead.

So, without further ado, he got off his horse and left the palace without stopping.

While everyone was waiting anxiously, Ji Song stopped tapping on the table.

"There are three pros and cons at this time. As for whether to do it or not, His Majesty's Holy Judgment is up to you!"

Ji Song's words made Li Shimin's eyes light up, and Fang Xuanling said anxiously: "What are the three advantages? What are the three disadvantages?"

“Let’s talk about the three disadvantages first.”

Ji Song raised a finger and said: "Take off the reins and let it develop. If you are not careful, it will backfire on you. This is the only disadvantage!"

"Overseas is rich and rich in resources. As long as we can calm down, immigrate overseas, assimilate the natives, and accumulate strength, within 50 years, it will become a phenomenon! This is the second disadvantage!"

"Once the kings of later generations are unable to implement the policy of restraining the family, the family will only become stronger and stronger, and may even become guest-centered. This is the third reason!"

Li Shimin fell silent after hearing the three disadvantages. These were not what he wanted to see, but the benefits were too great.But the merit lies in the present generation and the disadvantage lies in future generations.

Once the kings of later generations are unworthy and unable to restrain or suppress the family, then there will be an internal and external attack on the family.More difficult to deal with than before!

"What about Sanli?"

Changsun Wuji said suddenly.

Ji Song took a deep look at Changsun Wuji, until the other person avoided his eyes, and then said: "One of the advantages is that it can solve domestic conflicts in a short time, or divert domestic conflicts, so that your Majesty can thoroughly implement his own national policy, and the people will be even more affected. Once it is liberated, it is not difficult to see the possibility of a sharp increase in taxes in a short period of time.”

"Secondly, overseas is not a kind place. Once they are released, they will have no scruples. They may restrain themselves at first, but when a certain time comes, they will inevitably have internal strife. And this is our opportunity. When the time comes, we will mediate between them, pull in a group, and attack a group so that they can no longer worry about the Central Plains."

"The third and most important thing is that whether they are active or passive, in the face of huge interests, they will definitely vigorously develop overseas in the next few decades, which gives us opportunities."

Ji Song smiled and said faintly: "Who said they are the only ones who can go overseas? Others can do it too!"
