Ji Tang

Chapter 978 Persecution
"When will your Majesty be informed of this matter?"

Fang Xuanling hesitated and said that they investigated this matter privately and did not inform the emperor.Once this trap is revealed, a major earthquake will definitely occur in the Tang Dynasty. There are many people involved, and some of them are His Majesty's old people.

Where will His Majesty's face go when the time comes?Even your own people have begun poaching Datang. What do you want him to think?I'm afraid there will be another suspicion at that time.

But I have to say that at this point, it is no longer possible to cover up the situation.

"It's been a while!"

Ji Song also hesitated, but still said.

"Your Majesty will summon my uncle's concubine Da Shi Ji in a while. People from the military will probably be there by then. It just so happens that everyone can open up the sky and speak openly, so that no one will be panicked."

Fang Xuanling thought for a moment and then said: "It doesn't matter if we talk about it, but if we hide it from them, we don't know what will happen."

The last time Ji Song and the emperor went under the knife in the palace, many people had opinions about the emperor.In their opinion, His Majesty's actions were simply nonsense.

Who is Ji Song?They were nobles who had made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty through life and death.How many civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty had greater contributions than him?

But the emperor kept silent and used the knife in the palace?

When they learned about this incident afterwards, they were even more sweaty. If His Majesty really had murderous intent that day, even if Ji Song's martial arts were superb, he would not be able to escape death.

Once Ji Song dies, how many of them will survive?

Therefore, we must be cautious in everything we do now, and we must not touch the nerves of the military again, otherwise no one knows what will happen.

The two talked for a while, and Fang Xuanling was about to get up and leave.

But just as he was about to walk out, he said: "You are so talented. You hide behind the scenes and push your father-in-law to the front to fight with me and others? Aren't you afraid of self-defeating?"

"Then I won't bother my husband. I still have great confidence in my father-in-law."

Ji Song said with a smile.

"Is it worth it for you to do this? Your Ji family is already the leading aristocratic family in the Tang Dynasty, and other aristocratic families have recognized this. Why do you still want to wade into this muddy water? Isn't it better to be alone?"

Fang Xuanling was very puzzled. Logically speaking, with Ji Song's status at this time, there was no need to participate in the matter of joining the court. However, what was puzzling was that he not only saw it, but also stood firm and stood firm. The emperor's side.

Ji Song smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I can't help myself. Queen, Prince, Eldest Princess, Your Majesty, you can say that Ji is very kind to me. What can I do?"

"Forget it, it's boring to talk about this. From now on, you can do whatever you want in the court, and you don't have to be polite!"

Fang Xuanling took a deep look at Ji Song, said "take care of yourself" and turned to leave.

He didn't go to see each other off. Sometimes the opponent is not necessarily the enemy, and there are not so many polite words between them.If you are too polite, you will be looked down upon!

After sitting in the study for a while, Old Liu said that Uncle Cheng and others were already waiting for him, and then he left the study.

Jicheng asked his wife and children to sit down for dinner, and wanted Aunt Zhang to sit down too, but she refused, saying it was against the rules.

"There are no rules. Even if there are rules, what if we make an exception today?"

Just when they were in a stalemate, a hearty laughter came from outside, and Ji Cheng quickly pulled his wife and children to come forward to greet them.

Ji Song strode towards Datang. When he saw a foreign woman and a handsome young man beside Ji Cheng, he nodded secretly.

"This must be a famous female hero from the Western Regions, right?"

Ji Song looked at Juana and said with a smile: "In the Western Region where Hu and Han people live together, there are often rough and brave people. It is rare for you to create such a big foundation as a woman."

After speaking, he looked at the young man who was looking straight at him and said, "What? Is there something wrong with my face?"

When Jicheng saw it, he said angrily: "This is the head of the family, why don't you come and pay your respects!"

Only then did Jicheng come back to his senses and said quickly: "Ji Qi, the boy, has seen the master of the house. He was so impressed by the majesty of the master of the house just now that he couldn't help himself. Please forgive me!"

Hearing this, Ji Song pointed at Ji Qi with some astonishment and said: "Good boy, this Chang'an speaker speaks fluently than me. It's rare, it's rare!"

Then he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, we are all family members, so there is no need to be so polite. You are Uncle Cheng's son and can be considered my cousin. From now on, just call me eldest brother in private!"

"That's not possible. This kid has just returned to Chang'an. If he acts like this, won't he be laughed at to death? No, no, absolutely not~"

When Ji Cheng heard this, he shook his head like a rattle and said that he did not agree with his son being called Brother Ji Song. This was against the rules!

"Okay, that's it for now!"

Ji Song didn't have time to be polite to them and decided the matter directly.

Ji Cheng opened his mouth after hearing this, but had nothing to say.In Ji's family, who doesn't know that the head of the family is the authority? You can make suggestions, but once the head of the family makes a decision, they can only carry it out unconditionally.

This is also the basis for the Ji family's development and growth over the years. If there are many branches, no one will accept it, and they still want to grow and develop?It would be good if it could not be swallowed by others.

Ji took the main seat and pressed her hands to let everyone sit down.

"Today is the first time our family members have met, so I won't be polite. I hope you won't take offense if I offend you in any way!"

Ji Cheng said with some panic: "What did the master of the family say? If you have anything to do, just give me orders. Saying this is a slap in the face for us old guys!"

"Okay, don't stand up all the time, sit down!"

He didn't talk to Jicheng anymore, but looked at Juana and said: "No matter what happened in the past, from today on, you are my Ji family. I have also heard something about you. As for your family, I I can only express regret. If you want to take revenge, I will not stop you, but you must not do it in the name of the Ji family."

His seemingly light words made Juana feel great pressure.

He had heard too much about the status of the person in front of him on the road.This is a man who is more powerful and powerful than his grandfather.

Juana's expression changed again and again. Ji Cheng wanted to say something, but Ji Song glared back.

Now that he has become a member of the Ji family, he does not want to discuss the past matters. Isn't the reason for forcing Juana to express her position to lay the foundation for the emperor to summon her?

If you are lucky from the beginning, things will be difficult to handle later on.

Juana suddenly raised her head, looked at Ji Song, and said in somewhat lame Guanzhong dialect: "From today on, my surname is Hu, Anna, my husband is Ji Cheng, and my son is Ji Qi. I am the Ji Hu family!"

"I wonder if my answer can satisfy the head of the family!"

Ji Cheng looked at Juana with some confusion. He knew what kind of temperament the woman in front of him had.After saying such words, he must have given up some of his persistence.

Ji Qi wanted to speak for his mother, but was held tightly by Ji Cheng and shook his head at him.

"it is good!"

Ji Song clapped his hands and laughed: "Okay, okay, it's my fault for forcing you today. If you want to blame me, just blame me."

"Don't dare!"

Ji Song waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "There's nothing you dare to do. I just hope that you will consider your son and your husband before doing anything. Your mother country has abandoned you and failed you. Wherever you are, you have nothing to do. There are relatives and clansmen, and some are just enemies." "But here"

He pointed to the land at his feet and said: "There is your family, husband, and son. I can guarantee that in the Ji family, you and your son will have everything they should have, and they will not look down upon him because of his foreign blood."

"Here, he will receive the best education that a descendant of the Ji family should have. He will learn martial arts and literature. No matter what he does, I will not stop him. Even if he becomes an official in the court, there will be no problem in becoming an official of the Tang Dynasty. .”

"I can give him everything that a descendant of the Ji family should have. As for where he can go in the future, it depends on him."

"In the Tang Dynasty, with the support of my family, Ji, as long as he does not have inappropriate thoughts, it is not impossible for him to achieve more than your grandfather in the future."

Juana knelt down when she heard this, and then pulled her son to kneel down.

"Ji Hu has taken note of the words of the head of the family. From now on, there will only be Juana and Ji Cheng of the Ji family, and no one else!"

After speaking, he looked at his son and said: "My child, please remember that you are the son of Ji's family, Ji Cheng, and have nothing to do with Dashi. Remember this, if you dare to do anything to let down Ji's family in the future, Even if my mother dies, she will never rest in peace!"

"mother"

"Do you remember?"

Faced with her son's panic, Juana remained indifferent. She must give an explanation to the head of the Ji family today.

She is not an ordinary civilian woman. As the granddaughter of the governor of the East, he has heard and seen too many betrayals and betrayals.

She also understood what Ji Song, the head of the family, was doing. In fact, the best thing to do was not to accept it and let the two of them fend for themselves.

Even if something happens in the future, it will have little to do with Ji.

But what made her overjoyed was that the head of the Ji family gave him a guarantee, a guarantee that his son would be treated the same as the children of the Ji family. This was the most important thing to her.

In a foreign country, as a person with foreign blood, she knew very well how difficult it was to gain a foothold in this Eastern Empire.

The shameless young Duke in front of him, if he were in the West, would be a big shot with the power of life and death. Even his own grandfather could only look up to him.

But today, he gave himself a guarantee, which reassured her more than anything else.

"Okay, get up!"

Seeing Juana's assurance and what she said to her son, Ji Song was noncommittal. He was no longer the young man who easily believed in others.

He doesn't care what you say, but what she does, and the emperor summoning her is a test.

After that, from now on, the sea and the sky are brighter, in the land of Datang, and with his blessing, no one can do anything to her.Moreover, his previous promises will be fulfilled one by one, maybe even after the night.

Ji Cheng stepped forward to help Juana and her son up, and said to Ji Song: "Master, don't worry, if they really endanger my Ji family, you don't need to take action, I, Ji Cheng, will do it myself."

He turned to look at Juana and his son: "Ana, Qi'er, it's not easy for my Ji family to rise. Because of your affairs, the head of the family is already under a lot of pressure. Don't blame him, but blame your father!"

Ji Qi heard this and said, "Father is too worried. Qi'er knows what to do and will never make it difficult for you and the head of the family."

Juana also assured: "Don't worry, husband, Anna also knows what to do!"

Ji Song was relieved when he saw this scene. Now that they had figured it out, this was better than anything else, and he would not be a villain in vain.

"Okay, you must be tired along the way. I will ask someone to take you to rest later!"

After Ji Song finished speaking, he was about to leave. They were finally reunited, so he didn't want to disturb them.

Seeing Ji Song leaving, both Ji Cheng and Juana breathed a sigh of relief.

"The aura of your family leader is so powerful that even my grandfather can't compare to it. It's so powerful!"

Juana patted her chest and said.

"Of course, we don't even look at who it is? On the battlefield, the head of the family is an invincible general, and in the Tang Dynasty, he is a leader in the literary world. Only one such person will appear in hundreds of years, how can he not be awesome?"

Ji Cheng said with pride.

Juana rolled her eyes and said angrily: "Okay, okay, your master is the best, okay!"

When Ji Cheng heard this, he said seriously: "No, Juana, you should say our family head. From now on, you are a member of my clan. You will not dare to say that in the future."

After speaking, he sighed and said, "I have suffered so much for you these years. Don't worry, everything will be fine in Chang'an. As for the matters in the Western Regions, don't worry. No one can take away what belongs to you and Qi'er. My son, Jicheng, Not everyone can be bullied.”

Seeing her husband being so heroic, Juana seemed to see the unparalleled hero who carried her on his back and fled thousands of miles, and her eyes flashed with excitement.

"Cough cough!"

When Ji Qi saw something was wrong, he had to remind himself that there were other parents out there. Did you consider your son's feelings when you did this?
"You guys talk, I'll go out for a walk!"

Seeing the awkward two people, Ji Qi said quickly.

After saying that, without waiting for them to say anything, he ran out of the door as if he were running away, as if there were jackals, tigers and leopards behind him.

"Look, it's all your fault, right?"

Juana's face turned red and she pinched Ji Cheng's waist hard. She didn't let him go until Ji Cheng begged for mercy.

Ji Qi came out and breathed a sigh of relief.

Just don't know where to go?So I wandered around casually, but as I wandered around, I lost my way.It is true that the Duke's Mansion of the State of Tien was too big.

"Huh? Who are you?"

Just when he was distressed, there was a sound of surprise behind him. He quickly looked around and saw a young man who was a little thin but in good spirits, especially with bright eyes.This boy looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, a few years younger than himself.

An idea flashed through his mind, and he thought of what his father said when he introduced the Duke of Zhi's residence, and he quickly raised his hands and said, "Ji Qi, I just came to Chang'an from the Western Regions, but the second son of the Duke is in front of you?"

Ji Ze looked at the handsome and jealous young man in front of him suspiciously. He thought that he was pretty good-looking, but compared with the person in front of him, he was somewhat dwarfed.

"Ji Qi?"

Ji Ze thought for a while and suddenly said: "But is Grandpa Ji Cheng's son?"

"Yes, it's down!"

Ji Qi cupped his hands again and smiled.

"It turns out to be my cousin, but why are you here?"

Ji Ze rolled his eyes, as if he understood something, and said with some hesitation: "You are not lost, are you?"

Looking at Ji Ze who was pretending to be confused but obviously gloating about his misfortune, Ji Qi didn't know what to say for a moment, but he just felt that his life in Chang'an might not be too boring in the future.
