Ji Tang

Chapter 936 Different eras, same methods
Ji Song felt a headache, a heartbreaking pain.

When he woke up in a daze, he wanted to drink water, but before he could move, someone handed the water to his mouth.He drank without saying anything before talking.

The warm water enters the intestines and stomach, which is a little better.

"Drink slowly, no one will compete with you!"

You Ning frowned and said a little annoyed.

call!
I fell on the bed and continued to be in a daze. The last memory of last night was the memory of being brought back.But where is this?

Hearing the sound of water outside, I saw You Ning with red eyes. It looked like he hadn't slept all night!
"Let others do these things. How can you do it without sleeping?"

Seeing You Ning's face not looking good, he suddenly said with some distress.

You Ning rolled his eyes and said angrily: "You are so drunk that I don't care about you. Who cares about you? Besides, I don't trust you if you leave it to them. This is your first time drinking like this. I don't know how happy you are." What's the strength?"

vomit~
Ji Song was startled when he heard the sound of vomiting outside, and asked in confusion: "Where are we? Who is outside?"

"It's Uncle Chai and my aunt. You both drank too much last night, so the queen asked someone to pack up a boat and let us rest on the boat. My uncle must have woken up too!"

When Ji Song heard that it was Pingyang and Chai Shao, he didn't care. This pair of happy enemies, with Pingyang's temper, how could they take good care of each other?I'm afraid Chai Shao won't be able to be clean today.

"I told you not to drink so much, not to drink so much. Who told you to drink? Now you're fine. You drank so much that you almost died, and you asked me to take care of you. You're so beautiful!"

vomit~
There was another retching sound, which made him feel better.

"No!"

Ji Song didn't say anything and ran out without even wearing shoes!

"Hey, what are you doing?"

You Ning was stunned and hurriedly chased him out, but before he could get out of the barn door, he heard another sound of retching, but this time it was from her husband.

He quickly stepped forward and patted Ji Song's back, but it was okay if he didn't slap him. As soon as he slapped Ji Song, he spit it out again.Ji Song could feel that he might have vomited out all the food he ate last night.

For a while, Chai Shao and his retching sounds came and went. One side sang, and we took the stage, and there was a trace of rhythm!
You Ning and Ping Yang looked at each other and saw each other's helplessness. They suppressed their nausea and rubbed their backs, hoping that they would feel better.

I don't know how long it took, but Ji Song felt like he was exhausted.

Chai Shao and he were leaning on the side of the boat, their eyes dull and half-dead, looking at each other with a bitter smile!
After seeing that nothing happened to the two of them, Pingyang took You Ning away. According to her, if they stayed any longer, they would vomit!
They and a few maids were the only ones left on the ship now, and Pingyang asked them to take care of him before he left.

"Mom, we work hard outside every day, but the ladies at home still dislike us? No, this matter is not over yet, let's see how I deal with her when I go back, and keep her so that he won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow. If you don't give her some clues, it's really not good. Do you know who is in charge?"

As soon as Ji Song regained some energy, he started cursing, "Damn it, you didn't know how to get me something to eat. Now I've vomited everything. My stomach is empty. You can hear the sloshing sound when I drink water. I'm going to starve to death!"
"Tch, stop bragging!"

Chai Shao tried to stand up several times, but failed. His legs seemed to be out of control!
"You still want to take care of the girls in the house? If you can still climb into someone else's bed tonight, I'll write my name upside down. Still can't get out of bed? You don't even know if you can work, so what else do you want to do?"

Chai Shao did not give Ji Song any face, and immediately exposed his bluff. Afterwards, he said with disdain: "With you like this, even if you go to Pingkangfang, you can only watch and can't do anything!"

Ji Song kicked him angrily and said angrily: "Fart, what's wrong with me, I'm just bragging? It's not like some people who even brag but don't dare. What do you think you have to do to live?"

"As long as you are a little stronger, have we been living under her power all these years? I am the eldest, and I have four children, and I am currently pregnant with another one, but she just beats her whenever she says. , I’m shameless? Ah!”

Chai Shao bumped Ji Song with his shoulder and said angrily: "You know nothing!"

Completely ignoring the fact that his own saliva splashed on Ji Song's face, he cursed: "Do you understand that it's love? I wonder what's wrong with her? Is it none of other people's business?"

"How many years does it take for a woman like Pingyang to appear in this world? She actually met me and gave me children, so others should be envious of her!"

He said proudly: "When I met Pingyang, no matter how hard I worked in my life, I would be like that, but so what? Even if I don't do anything, I will still leave a name in history by relying on my mother-in-law!"

"I feel happy when I think that future generations will be envious and jealous of me, but they can't do anything to me. What's wrong with being strong? Being strong has its benefits. It's so cool in bed. Why are you telling me this? Don't be a little brat. Just asking around!"

Ji Song's face is full of black lines, why have I become such a brat?

Should I ask?If you hadn't pulled me, I wouldn't have wanted to hear it.

He rolled his eyes, thinking about it, and suddenly pretended to have a changed expression and shouted after Chai Shao: "Auntie?"

Chai Shao froze immediately and wanted to run without saying a word, but he couldn't use his legs and couldn't run away.

He kept begging for mercy: "Pingyang, please listen to my explanation. It's not what you think. I'm just bragging. It was Ji Song who tricked me. You must believe me."

But as I said it, I felt something was wrong. This didn't seem like Pingyang's style.If it were in the past, I would have been beaten long ago. How could I wait until now?

Besides, I didn’t hear any movement!

When he looked up, he was furious. Where did he come from?

He turned around and glared at Ji Song, but Ji Song had already climbed to the cabin door. When he saw Chai Shao reacting and closing the cabin door with a big smile, he suddenly burst into wild laughter.

Chai Shao's face turned blue and white for a while, obviously he was very angry.
On the broad street, Chai Shao had a dark face, and Ji Song didn't dare to laugh even if he wanted to.Pingyang and Youning looked back at them in confusion from time to time, wondering what the two of them were doing.

Ever since he got off the boat, Ji Song had been avoiding Chai Shao.Chai Shao wanted to trouble Ji Song, but as soon as Ji Song pretended to call Pingyang, he immediately stopped moving, for fear that Pingyang would know what he said.

If Pingyang found out, I would probably have to do nothing during this period and just lie on the bed.

"Okay, don't be angry. This is a secret between us. I promise not to tell anyone!"

Ji Song approached Chai Shao and said with a smile.

"Do you want to swear a poisonous oath?"

How could he not know who Ji Song was?His whole body is full of evil thoughts. If his words can be believed, there will be ghosts.

"Hey, that's too much! It's impossible to swear a poisonous oath, not even in this life!"

Chai Shaoqie stopped talking to Ji Song, making Ji Song very depressed.

As a result, a few people didn't say anything and just went on their way.After a while, they came to a heavily guarded garden.

This is Furong Garden, where Li Chengqian wrote his books.

Anyway, I didn't know where to go for a while, so after some discussion, they decided to come over and take a look at the [-]-word book collection that Li Chengqian said.To be honest, this is the first time they have heard of a book with tens of millions of words.Even for their status, it sounds like a fantasy.

Ji's books are numerous, right?But even so, the number of words in Ji's collection is only about 3000 to [-] million.This is already beyond reach. Needless to say, everyone else has heard of it.

"No other people are allowed to come near, please leave this place quickly!"

This is the first time Pingyang has been rejected in Chang'an. In the past, even the palace could come and leave as he pleased. When did someone dare to stop him?
Seeing that he was about to get angry, Ji Song quickly stepped forward to stop him.He said to the guarding soldiers: "Go and call your general!"

Of course, the captain knew Duke Ji Song of the State of Xi. Hearing Ji Song's words, he didn't say anything. He ordered everyone to guard the door and went in to report the news himself.

"It seems that His Majesty is also inside!" Ji Song said.

Pingyang also reacted to this matter. If the emperor could bear it and only come now, it would be considered calm.When it comes to such a big thing, it would be strange if he didn't come!

"I've seen the princess!"

The old lieutenant came over within a short while. When he saw it was Pingyang and the others, he hurried forward to salute!
"Old Duke, please excuse yourself and call me Pingyang. You salute me. If the emperor finds out about this, he won't know what to say to me. Please don't harm me!"

Pingyang stepped forward to support him and said with a smile.

"Princess, this is serious. After all, etiquette cannot be abolished!"

Pingyang was annoyed by this the most, so he waved his hand and said, "Can we go in now?"

"Of course, no one can stop you. Come in with me quickly. His Majesty is also inside right now!"

Pingyang didn't waste any time and walked in with a flick of his sleeves, followed by Ji Song and others.

When I entered, I found that the guards inside were even tighter. This may be related to the emperor's coming here, but it also shows that the emperor attaches great importance to this place!
"Why did Your Majesty send you here? You are so old and you are still tormenting people like this? Who can you send here?"

Ji Song was very dissatisfied that the emperor sent the old lieutenant to come late. There were so many people with the emperor, why did he still let him come?

"To shut up!"

Yuchi Gong scolded in a low voice.

"You kid, don't just rely on His Majesty's favor and dare to say anything out loud. You will feel better if others hear you."

Then he looked around to make sure no one could hear him, and then whispered: "It's so shocking, all the houses in Furong Garden are filled with books, including original manuscripts, drafts, and books collected from various places. There are all kinds of unique books, those that have never been published, those that have been lost for a long time, and many banned books that have been prohibited from being circulated in all dynasties. It is almost all-encompassing."

"This is an eye-opener for me. This is the first time in my life that I have seen so many books. Even those from the palace are only a drop in the bucket and not worth mentioning at all!"

Ji Song opened his mouth and looked at Old Yuchi in surprise.

"Are they real or fake? Are there really those lost books and banned books?"

No wonder he was so surprised. Throughout the dynasties, royal families had banned some books that were not conducive to their rule, and they were not allowed to be kept among the people. Keeping them was a serious crime.

Either for their own rule, or to hide some unknown secrets.Such books are not uncommon.

Just like later generations found secret reports of the Qing Dynasty collecting Western intelligence in the Forbidden City, don't the Tatars know the value of these classics?Don’t you understand how much this will improve national strength?

No, they know.And they understand it better than anyone else, but they just don’t make it public, and even covertly and openly cut off exchanges between the East and the West and destroy such books.

As the ruler of a country, none of them are fools.But people are self-interested. For the sake of their own rule, they are afraid that others will overthrow their rule like the West.

Therefore, even if he would rather the country be weakened to the extreme, he never thought of making the secret public. He would rather stay with friends than with domestic slaves.

How selfish is this?Ji Song felt shuddering just thinking about it!

No wonder, as long as the Tatars were a country of the Han people, no matter how powerful the king was, someone would always try their best to prevent the king from becoming too powerful.Because once the monarch's power is supreme and the power is monopolized, while maintaining the stability of his own rule, he will inevitably do things that harm the world and benefit himself.

Since ancient times, there has been a constant struggle between the power of the prime minister and the power of the monarch, which has made both sides restrain themselves.

"What do you think?"

Yuchi Gong slapped Ji in the face, feeling angry.

"Ah! It's nothing, I just thought of something!"

Seeing that Ji Song was fine, Yuchi Gong continued: "Let me tell you, I read some books before His Majesty came. Do you know what I saw?"

"what?"

"The Art of War!"

Ji Song was stunned, Sun Tzu's Art of War?So what's surprising?Doesn’t that honorable gentleman have a copy in his home now?
"You know shit!"

"Damn it, I just know now that Sun Tzu's Art of War that we watched so much before has been edited out, and many things in it have been deleted. Is this what that bastard did?"

"If I were to find out, I would have to split it into eight pieces!"

After stopping the angry old Yuchi, Ji Song understood clearly.In later generations, Sun Tzu's Art of War was actually lost long ago. Although Sun Tzu's Art of War that has been handed down is also a treasure of China, it was only collected from fragments by later generations.

Just like the Analects of Confucius, it was revised many times before it became what we are familiar with now.

There is also the Tao Te Ching, which was called the Tao Te Ching before the Han Dynasty and was divided into the Tao Te Ching and the Tao Te Ching.However, it is unknown whether it was lost during the Han Dynasty or for some other reason. The Tao Te Ching that has been handed down has also been abridged.If it hadn't been for the discovery of the ancient tomb in later generations, the world would still have been kept in the dark.

"You're not surprised at all?"

He thought that Ji Song would be furious after he said this, but he knew that Ji Song was a book addict. If he knew that all the books he read were abridged, how could he cause trouble?

But Ji Song was so calm, as if he knew everything about it!
"What's the surprise? Master and disciples all keep a secret, let alone these classics? Isn't the reason why those aristocratic families can cut off the rights of readers and annotators to the classics and history collections because they have a complete inheritance?"

"With their hundreds of thousands of years of power and selfishness, it's not surprising at all that they can do this!"

Yuchi Gong was stunned and asked doubtfully: "You said they did it?"

Ji Song nodded and shook his head. Just when Yu Chigong was puzzled, Ji Song sighed: "Not only that, but there may be another one."

He pointed to the sky, and then walked inside.

Only Yuchi Gong, who looked gloomy and confused, was left stunned.
