Ji Tang

Chapter 950 Rebellion
"A bunch of old foxes!"

Li Shimin knew the thoughts of Fang Xuanling and others, and he also knew the thoughts of Fang Yiai and those little bastards. Aren't they just trying to gain fame?Scholars from all over the world come here to gain fame, including a few of them.

But don’t just hold on to my wool!
Everyone is writing petitions like crazy, but have you ever thought about my feelings?

"Your Majesty, the officials are excited now, and even some officials who are nearby are already on their way to Chang'an. We'd better make preparations in advance."

Li Shimin's face turned green when he heard this. He was the only one from ancient times to the present that such a thing could make the ministers excited.There is no one before or after!

But that’s all you can do is petition at the local level. I’m just pretending, hello everyone, hello everyone.

But what do you mean by coming to Chang'an?
Force the palace?
However, he quickly shook the thought out of his mind.They don't dare to force her to have a baby. Maybe some people join in when they see an advantage to be taken advantage of, and some can't help it!
All the ministers have written petitions, but they just wonder, what are they trying to do?Everyone is drunk and I am the only one awake?I think you want to isolate yourself from scholars.

"I'll leave this matter to Fang Aiqing. I'm not feeling well and have been closed for half a month. If you have anything to do, please discuss it!"

"Just let me know when there is news. Everyone, please be busy. I'll leave first!"

After saying that, he turned around and left regardless of everyone's stunned look.

"His Majesty."

Fang Xuanling opened her mouth to call out to the emperor, but could Li Shimin listen to him at this time?

Anyway, they have said that I am not feeling well, so you can just do whatever you want. What does this matter have to do with me!
Seeing that the emperor ignored her, Fang Xuanling turned around and looked at Du Ruhui and others eagerly.

"Kemin!"

"Stop!"

Du Ruhui quickly stopped him and said: "His Majesty has said that you will be responsible for this matter. Don't worry, we will definitely help you. Just say what you want!"

Seeing Du Ruhui's serious look, Fang Xuanling's face turned even darker.

The others followed suit, and they all seemed to follow your lead, which made him feel toothache!

"Don't forget that Yuchi Baolin, Du He, and your eldest son from the Li family, the Qin family, and the Wei family are all here. If I have no other choice, I can only kill them out of justice and have them operated on."

After finishing speaking, he sighed and said: "You said they are usually uncles and uncles, how could I do this?"

Du Ruhui looked like he was constipated and glared at Fang Xuanling: "Shameless!"

But how thick-skinned is Fang Xuanling?If you are thin-skinned, can you still stay in the position of prime minister for 20 years?

"Okay, tell me what to do!"

What else could Du Ruhui say?He was already threatening his own son, what else could he do?
"Hahaha, I know Ke Ming is right, isn't that great? With us handling this matter, can those bastards be able to change the world?"

"We are so so."

Ji Song didn't know at this time that the emperor had passed the blame to Fang Xuanling, who was now studying the theories of cause and effect between Buddhism and Taoism.It is said that where there is a cause, there must be an effect, but which comes first, the cause or the effect?

It's like a joke in later generations, saying which came first in the world, the egg or the chicken?

Some recent events have made him feel deeply frustrated. Things are developing too fast. A trivial matter may cause reactions in other places. What is the cause and effect relationship between this?
If you could understand this way, wouldn't you be able to control the development laws of all things in the world?
Shaking his head, he decisively ended his speculation.

The world is particularly wonderful because of all kinds of uncertainties. If everything is predictable and controllable, what's the point of living?
Just because of the miracle, this world will not be so monotonous and boring!
These two things made him realize that the Tang Dynasty today is completely different from the Tang Dynasty in the history he knew well.According to development, Goguryeo was conquered by the Tang Dynasty a few decades later, and it took 80 years for the Western Regions to have a decent rule.

But now, the imperial court has begun to send officials to govern the Western Regions and other places.They were accompanied by a large number of students. These students were not traditional scholars who only knew how to study, but talents who had received elite education from the academy.

They are familiar with the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty, the investigation of things, arithmetic, and even the theories of hundreds of schools of thought.Anyone who is released is a county talent. After several years of experience, no one is sure where their upper limit is!

Once these people go to the Western Regions, if nothing else, they will definitely build academies as soon as possible. When there are scholars in a place, these people will become the kind of fire, burning in this place, taking root, sprouting, and then thriving.

In less than ten years, or at most 20 years, when a new generation grows up, this place will completely become the territory of Datang.

Fortunately, this is not the time of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and scholars have not become stupid because of reading. Nowadays, scholars can mount a horse to kill the enemy and be civilized to stabilize the country. This is a true combination of civil and military skills.

Among the students who can graduate from the academy, who is not the best among people?

Those who are not talented, those who are dawdling, or those who want to get a graduation certificate.

Sorry, no matter what background you have behind you, you can come in if you want, the academy will accept all comers.But want to graduate?hehe!Let’s pass the exam first.

If you fail the test once, you can take it twice, three times, or even up to five times.

But if he fails to pass five times, then the only outcome waiting for him is to be dismissed. Even the emperor cannot change this.This should be due to the rules that have been in place since the establishment of the academy, and are recognized by all the princes in the academy and even in the court.

Although there is no explicit rule, this is the rule of the academy.

It's okay to come in through the back door and gain seniority.

When the time comes, just give you a certificate of graduation, and then you can show off wherever you fall in love, no one will care about you.

But if you want to graduate seriously, it is difficult. Without a certain amount of real talent and practical knowledge, you can't even think about it.

Since the establishment of the academy, many students have been dismissed, and some have even committed suicide.The academy hates such students deeply and will never graduate him out of sympathy or anything like that.

This is not only unfair to others, but also the greatest harm to the academy.

Taibai Academy was not just a simple academy from the beginning. It was the culmination of the Tang Dynasty’s academic life and was also the retreat for all the princes in the court. How could we allow some petty mischief?
This may be cruel, but compared to the cruelty in the future, it serves as a reminder to all students.Because the more cruel things are yet to come!

However, the recent trend is not quite right!
Even though he was at home all day long, he was still very aware of what was going on outside.

Officials from various places wrote petitions, and some even came to Chang'an to imprison the emperor.Everyone wants fame like crazy. Anyone who dares to stop them now will be their life and death enemy.

Even he didn't dare to provoke them at this time. The emperor was hiding in the harem for comfort. What could he dare with his little arms and legs?
"You have a lot of time, kid. I'm about to be forced into the palace. Do you still have time to drink tea?"

Just as Ji Song was deep in thought, a familiar voice startled him instantly.

"Whoever dares to force the palace, tell me, I will kill him right away!"

Ji Song reacted and immediately had a nervous expression on his face, his eyes still looking around, as if he was looking for someone.

"Okay, isn't it a little late to show your loyalty at this time? Why did you go earlier? They are on their way here now. If you are really capable, go on the road now to persuade them to go back."

"How? Dare you?"

Sitting in Ji Song's original seat, the bastard Chen Shou actually poured the emperor tea with the Dahongpao he had just brewed?

Li Shimin was lying on the recliner, his nose slightly raised, his eyes opened immediately, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip, looking like he was enjoying it, as if he had never seen the world before.

"I said you are a bastard. I only order Dahongpao so much every year, and I often stop. How about you? I can see you soaking something every time I come here?" "Tell me the truth, this Dahongpao." How much does the robe produce every year? Don't tell me just that much. If you dare to fool me, let's see how I deal with you."

Facing Li Shimin, who was staring at him eagerly and threatening him as the emperor, Ji Song's teeth ached and numbed.

"From what you said, it's just a coincidence. It just happened."

"Actually, I only have so many visits every year. You just happen to come here every time as if you are on a rush. You have wronged me."

Ji Song looked aggrieved, as if that was what happened.

"Believe in you and be a ghost!"

Knowing that he couldn't hear the truth from this kid's mouth, Li Shimin stopped asking.However, after I returned home, I sent someone to inquire and found out that I couldn't drink such good tea, so others could forget it.

Just when Li Shimin was thinking about turning Dahongpao into royal tea, Ji Song came over and said carefully: "Your Majesty, why are you here? Aren't you feeling unwell?"

"I happen to know some medical skills, would you like to show them to you?"

Li Shimin glanced at him, then took out his hand and signaled him to do whatever he wanted!

Ji Song pretended to feel his pulse for a while, sometimes frowning and sometimes relaxing.Li Shimin, who had nothing to do but just wanted to tease this kid, suddenly became a little uneasy!

Nothing really happened, right?
Ji Song finally finished feeling his pulse and lowered his head as if he was thinking about something else.

"Dong Xiangguo, you should hurry up and say it!"

Chen Shou became anxious on the side!

"Go aside, Your Majesty is really not in a hurry, while the eunuch is, don't cause trouble!"

Ji Song waved his hand angrily, telling him to stay away.

After hearing this, Chen Shou's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. This bastard was so damaged. He felt like he felt uncomfortable every time he didn't hit himself.

"Has Your Majesty been having trouble sleeping at night during this time? Are you still having an urgent need to urinate? His mouth is bitter, and his intestines are frequently ventilated?"

"Is everything going to be okay? I don't feel any discomfort?"

This guy is amazing, can he tell just by taking his pulse?
"Hey, Your Majesty must exercise restraint. Kidneys are human essence, how can they be consumed like this?"

Ji Songsong had an inscrutable look on his face. If others had done it, I would have been able to frighten him.

But who is Li Shimin?I was worried at first, but the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became. This kid was swearing.

"go away!"

After kicking the kid, Li Shimin said angrily: "Why are you so kind enough to take my pulse? Why are you waiting for me here?"

"No matter how big or small, is this something you have to worry about?"

"If you have the ability, tell the ladies in my harem? Will they tear your mouth apart?"

"Still restrained? Believe it or not, I will recruit you into the palace right now. Anyway, Chen Shou is old and there is a replacement. I think you are good."

"How? Do you want to consider it?"

Chen Shou also said enthusiastically after hearing this: "I see that Your Majesty is very fond of the Duke. It would be great if you could come to the palace to serve His Majesty. How about I make arrangements for you?"

"puff!"

The tea that Ji Song just drank in his mouth sprayed directly on Chen Shou's face, and he quickly said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it."

"Okay, you kid, please stop bullying him. Aren't you embarrassed that a great prince bullied an eunuch?"

Li Shimin directly interrupted Ji Song and cursed.

"Your Majesty, you are wrong. You may not think that Duke Xi likes to tease slaves, but slaves are happy in their hearts. When everyone sees us eunuchs, although they dare not say anything in person due to His Majesty's power, we don't know what's going on behind the scenes. Arranging for us."

"The Duke of Xi is different. He doesn't treat slaves as outsiders. He never looks at us disabled people in a different way. He treats us the same as normal people."

"Slaves who stay with Duke Xi have never been looked down upon, so don't blame Duke Xi."

Li Shimin was a little dumbfounded. He looked at Ji Song, then at Chen Shou, and sighed: "You are not young anymore. I will let you out of the palace when I find the right one in a few years!"

Chen Shou didn't say anything, just knelt down on the ground and raised his head. He used all his strength with that energy!

"Okay, get up!"

"Although I can't give you any glory or wealth, I can still ensure your happiness in your later years. It's not easy for you to stay with me these years, and I can't be too selfish. It's better to let go as soon as possible to save you from complaining about me. "

"How dare I complain to Your Majesty? What would you do to your Majesty if you said this? If it weren't for you these years, I would have become a cup of loess. How could I be alive now? Don't say that. I can stay with you. , this is the blessing that this slave has cultivated in his previous life."

"Okay, okay, why are you crying and crying? Go aside and look upset!"

Li Shimin waved his hand, signaling Chen Shou to stay away.

After waiting for a while, he said: "I don't really care about the officials petitioning me, but now they all want to come to me to improve their reputation. How can this be done? I am not as good as they want."

Ji Song was stunned and immediately understood that the actions of the officials aroused the emperor's rebellious psychology.This kind of mentality is more serious the more people are in high positions.

I can give it to you, but you can't take it.

"Your Majesty is serious. Although some of them have impure thoughts, isn't this a good thing?"

"Good thing?"

Li Shimin was puzzled.

"Yes, in my opinion, this is a good thing."

"Think about it, this matter is now known to the whole world, and there is no way to hide it. In the end, you have to come out to appease them. In this case, why don't you take the initiative?"

"After the stalemate between the two sides, both sides will suffer losses, but if everyone cooperates in this scene, a good story about a monarch and his ministers will surely go down in history and be sung by future generations."

"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Ji Song said with a smile.
