Ji Tang

Chapter 938
"You know this book?"

Li Shimin had no intention of beating around the bush and went straight to the point.

The reason why he asked this was to tell Ji Song clearly not to worry about this thing. If you dare not tell the truth, you will definitely suffer.

"Know!"

Ji Song said dejectedly.

At this time, Changsun suddenly came in and grabbed Ji Song's ear. Not to mention, Heping Yang had a tacit understanding. As soon as his left ear was twisted, he immediately replaced it with his right ear.

Seeing Ji Song grinning but not saying a word, Changsun suddenly lost interest.

"You are a Pixiu kid, and you dare to hold anything in your arms? It was fine before, but this time you dare to snatch things from His Majesty in the Royal Courtyard. It's a huge change!"

"I haven't settled the matter with you last time about the paperweight, but here we are again. How come you treat my royal family as your own treasure house? Just take whatever you want for yourself? Ah!"

As soon as the eldest grandson came up, he started to dig up old scores. Ji Song didn't dare to talk back, curled his lips and just stood there, looking like he was doing whatever he wanted, which made the eldest grandson grit his teeth!
"Okay, okay, we don't have to be angry with this kid, it's not worth it!"

After comforting his eldest grandson, he glared at Ji Song again.He said angrily: "Why are you still standing? Why don't you tell me quickly!"

What can Ji Song do?Facing this family, I can only accept it.

"This book was quite famous before the Han Dynasty. Many of the proverbs were based on the horoscopes in it. In the end, it was listed as a banned book for some reason. I thought I would never see this book in my life, but I didn't expect that I would accidentally read it today. Turn to this book."

Li Shimin and Changsun frowned when they heard that many proverbs came from this book.Since ancient times, proverbs have been a means of causing chaos in the world, and they are extremely difficult to detect and impossible to detect.

At that time, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, with the motto of "Fox Crying, Fish Belly" and "Great Chu rises, Chen Sheng King" rose up and launched the most massive people's uprising since China!

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Zhang Jiao said, "Heaven is dead, Huang Tian shall stand." This completely broke the foundation of the 400-year-old Han Dynasty.

In the previous Sui Dynasty, there was another motto of "peaches and plums, conquer the world". In the end, the man surnamed Li really conquered the world.This makes many people have a subconscious feeling, that is, whenever a proverb is published, the world must be in chaos.

But as one of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, the Li family of Longxi knows the tricks in this better than anyone else.Sometimes these proverbs are even given out by them.

But sometimes it is like this, it seems that there is God's will in the dark, and the proverbs often come true, which makes people ponder.

If anyone in the world believes in maxims the most, it must be the emperor.

Now, Ji Song told him that many proverbs before the Han Dynasty actually came from this book, and it was listed as a banned book for a period of time. However, there is not a single word in the royal secret records about this matter.

"Tell me in detail, what happened?"

Anything involving Proverbs is definitely not a trivial matter, and it is best to understand it clearly before you can feel at ease.

"This book was written by Shi Shenfu of the Wei state in the early Warring States period and Gan De, a native of the Chu state. Gan De wrote eight volumes of "Astronomy" and Shi Shen wrote eight volumes of "Astronomy". Later generations compiled it based on its content. It is: "Gan Shi Xing Jing"."

"The Four Symbols we are familiar with come from the "Gan Shi Star Book". They also used the algorithm in it to observe the movement patterns of stars in the universe. It recorded the names of more than 120 stars and determined the orientation of 28 stars, including Including the changing patterns of the [-] constellations, it can be said that this is the most magnificent book in the history of Chinese literature."

"Later generations of astronomical observations basically used this book as the source for observation and supplementation. The First Emperor destroyed many books at that time, but he only left this book on astrology, and the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang in Lishan is based on the book Built according to the laws of the stars.”

"The reconstruction of Changle Palace during the period of Emperor Hui of the Western Han Dynasty was also based on this book. The astrological knowledge in it is considered unique, so I am very talented."

In the end, Ji Song did not forget to excuse himself. It was not that I was too excited, but that this book was really unbearable!

Li Shimin listened attentively at first, but in the end he was almost defeated. He glared at the boy fiercely and said thoughtfully: "In other words, this book is of great value?"

Ji Song rolled his eyes and sighed: "Actually, the symbolic significance is greater than the actual effect. The reason why I like it is because I hope to preserve this book so that it will not be almost lost!"

"Okay, what kind of virtues do you have that I don't know about? You are just a master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't let go of hawks, and you still keep it? I'm afraid it has become your Ji family's heritage again, right?"

In fact, Li Shimin was quite envious. Ji's inheritance was indeed extraordinary. He had never heard of it, but Ji Song knew all about it. This was the heritage of a thousand-year-old family.

They have existed for so long that they have passed through many dynasties, but they have always existed.

After recovering the inheritance of the Ji family, this guy thought he was interested and gave me a copy. The detailed records in it are simply astonishing.Many things that have been mentioned briefly in history books or written in the Spring and Autumn style are extremely detailed in Ji's inheritance.

As soon as Ji Song heard this, he knew that this book had nothing to do with him. It wasn't that he didn't want to tell the truth, it was just that he couldn't hide it.The emperor may not know it, but those aristocratic families definitely know it.If you dare to lie, you will definitely not have a good life.It's better to tell the truth honestly and not dig a hole for yourself!

"For the sake of your honesty, I will spare you this time. If you dare to do it again, let's see how I deal with you!"

Li Shimin somewhat hated the fact that iron could not make steel.

This kid is good at everything, except that Pixiu can't change his temper, and he makes trouble for himself every now and then, and that's no one else!

"The minister knows!"

What should Ji Songzheng do?I can only say in despair.

Seeing Ji Song like this, Li Shimin couldn't bear it. This boy didn't have many hobbies, but books were one of them. Back then, he spared no expense, and it was only then that he became known as Ji's book collector.

"Okay, after I've read this book, if there's nothing wrong with it, I'll let you make a copy. That's okay!" Li Shimin said angrily.

Ji Song, who originally wanted to give up, was stunned for a moment, but then he was overjoyed.Unexpectedly, there were twists and turns, but I finally got it.Although it is not the original, but hundreds or thousands of years later, who cares whether it is the original or not.

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

Come on, what you said is ridiculous!
Li Chengqian looked contemptuous, but was quickly suppressed by his mother.How?Aren't you happy that others wish your father to live long live?

Of course Li Chengqian is not happy. Long live you, why do I, the prince, have any arrogance in front of you?

Of course, I wouldn’t dare to say this even to death.There is nothing he can do about his father, the emperor and his mother, but you Ji Song, the culprit, can't even think about escaping. A few jars of wine are like buying an orphan?Who do you look down on?
"Okay, okay, people are just talking nonsense. You are not afraid of people laughing at you if you shout like this. You are not allowed to talk about it anymore. Do you hear me?"

But Ji Song understood from this sentence: This is what I will say from now on, not that I want you to look good!It doesn't matter to him, as long as he can get what he wants, what happened to Banzai?It's just a million, tens of millions of years, none of my business!
"Chengqian!"

Li Shimin suddenly said to Li Chengqian: "Do you know about this?"

Li Chengqian did not dare to neglect and said: "I know this matter, but many gentlemen say that these are unofficial histories and should not be taken seriously. There is no benefit in showing your father, and it may cause more confusion to you, father. It is said that this is not good for the governance of the world, so..."

"So you're just going to hide it or not report it?"

He had high hopes for this prince, and he had done well over the years, but he was so confused about this matter. He was obviously deceived by those people, and he didn't realize it. It was simply stupid!
"You are the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and the future king of this country. You must decide right from wrong when doing things. You can not understand, but you cannot understand. Just like this book, if you read it in advance, you will know that many of their methods are I learned it from this. But you discarded it like a bad shoe, how stupid you are!"

After scolding for a while, just when Ji Song was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard the emperor calling him.

"Chen is here!"

Li Shimin said directly: "I leave this matter to you. I want to know how many things I don't know about this. In addition, everyone is prohibited from taking books home, and lost ones must be recovered. Do you hear me?"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Ji Song ignored Li Chengqian's constant winks and accepted it directly.

"Okay, you go out first, and I'll read this book first!"

Ji Song quickly pulled the somewhat annoyed Li Chengqian out of the hall. When he walked outside, Li Chengqian threw Ji Song's hand away and said angrily: "What do you mean? I had to wink at you, why did you take it? ?”

"It's been 15 years, and everyone among them has changed. How do you get it back? There were no records back then. Many gentlemen took the books home and sorted them out. If you dare to ask them if they have any private collections Books are just waiting to be drowned by the saliva of young scholars in the world!"

"It's hopeless!"

Ji Song looked at the angry Li Chengqian with a smile on his face. After he finished scolding him, he smiled and said, "Are you relieved?"

"Smile, smile, you still know how to laugh, I won't laugh you to death!"

After saying that, he was about to leave, but Ji Song held him back and walked out of Furong Garden regardless of his resistance.

Zuixian Tower, in the private room on the top floor.

Ji Song comforted Li Chengqian and said with a smile: "Don't be angry. This matter seems complicated, but it is very simple."

"We just don't do it. After a while, we will report to His Majesty that the gentlemen are clean and there are no missing books. Wouldn't it be over?"

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Ji Song as if he were an idiot.

"Do you think my father is a fool? Do you believe this?"

But Ji Song shook his head and said: "I don't know whether your Majesty believes it, but it will be fine if everyone in the world believes it. Didn't you say that? There were many people brought back at the beginning. Are there any records? This is simply a headless case. If anyone If you dare to actually come to your door, you won’t be scolded to death?”

"Then you still"

Now Li Chengqian was even more puzzled. If that's the case, then you went up to the pole to pick him up. Isn't that sick?
After drinking, Ji Song calmed down and said: "Do you think His Majesty doesn't know that this can't be found out at all? It's not that he doesn't know but he pretends not to know. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent me."

"This matter, I am not from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, so what qualifications do I have to investigate the case? And I am the Minister of the Ministry of War, this is not within my scope of authority!"

"The reason why His Majesty did this is to warn some people, that's it, don't push too far. And I am the person who supervises them. If I find someone hiding in the future, needless to say, I can knock on the door directly, and others can't say it. What."

“It’s wrong to punish someone without teaching them, but what about punishing them after teaching them?”

Li Chengqian opened his mouth and pointed at Ji Song, wanting to say something but couldn't.

"There were just a few of us, and I was the only one who was stupid?"

Why didn't you hear this?Thinking of my father's demeanor just now, it was obviously very solemn, but now that I think about it, he is not angry at all. It turns out that he was just trying to warn them!

But think about it, there are so many people, and they are all the most learned people in the world. Even my father cannot offend them all.You must know that the pen holder is now in someone else's hands. If you don't want to be infamy for thousands of years, you can only offer it.

"You guys are just too much!"

Seeing that this guy was getting anxious, Ji Song quickly held him down and said angrily: "Okay, what are you afraid of being embarrassed in front of your father? I'm afraid that you will be embarrassed in front of everyone in the world!"

Li Chengqian was still angry, but one was his father, the emperor and his mother, and the other was his damaged friend. What could he do?
"Oh, right!"

Ji Song seemed to have remembered something and asked curiously: "Did you really not know what happened just now or did you pretend that you didn't know? I don't believe what those guys say and you just believe it. This is not your character!"

The reason why Ji Song didn't speak up for Li Chengqian in front of the emperor just now was because he knew this person's character.Although he looked harmless all day long, he knew that Li Chengqian was not an economical person with this face.Otherwise, thousands of the most outstanding scholars of the Tang Dynasty would not have been managed in an orderly manner over the years.

This can not only be achieved by relying on feelings. These intellectuals from various schools are not a group of harmless gentlemen. Sometimes they will not show mercy to anyone for the sake of orthodoxy.

While smiling in front of others, they are definitely capable of stabbing someone in the back.

Being able to manage these old foxes for more than ten years without any major accidents is not an easy task. Without any skills, they would have been eaten up to nothing.

But this guy not only managed things flawlessly, but also made them famous for themselves. This has to be said about his ability.Don't think that these are derogatory terms like "needle hidden in cotton", "virtual" and "snake"!
Hearing Ji Song's words, Li Chengqian smiled bitterly: "Of course I know. If I don't know this, wouldn't I, the chief editor, be just empty words?"

"But what can I do if I know? Isn't that why I can't say it? Do you think those people think they can send me away with a few words? But this is simply a conspiracy. What can I do? I told my father that it's okay. , if my father does something outrageous because of this matter, how will you let the world see me?"

"You said I can't wait any longer? Did you do that on purpose?"

I took a sip of wine, maybe I drank too much and choked.

Ji Song was silent, no one in this world is a fool, those kind and knowledgeable people are no worse than anyone else when it comes to calculations.
