Chapter 243 Secret Letter The autumn wind is blowing, the leaves are green and yellow, and the cold wind is blowing.
On this day, when Ji Song was having dinner with his mother, he saw the housekeeper Zheng Li looking anxiously outside the door. Ji Song was about to get angry, but was stopped by his mother.
"Go! Counting the time, it's time to leave." Mother Ji said expressionlessly.
Ji Song was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, and waved to Zheng Li, telling him to go away first.
Just when Ji Song was about to say something, Ji's mother said again: "Mom won't see you off, just leave. When you get there, I will send you letters from time to time."
"I got it, kid!" Ji Song bowed deeply to his mother, then looked at his mother who was still lowering her head to eat, gritted her teeth and left.
"Clap!"
Just when Ji Song was completely out of sight, Mother Ji couldn't help crying anymore, but she quickly wiped away her tears as if she had thought of something.
He even murmured: "You can't cry, you can't cry. Song'er will be fine. If you dare not protect my son, see how I deal with him when I go down."
Arriving at the outer courtyard, Zheng Li was waiting.
"Master Marquis, the angel is here." Zheng Li said directly without talking nonsense.
"Take me quickly."
Chen Shou was drinking tea at this time. He didn't know how this fried tea became popular in Chang'an. Even some officials from other places gradually accepted this 'deviant' thing.
Chen Shou also liked this kind of tea. It didn't taste that strong, and it didn't have that weird taste. In the palace, he often made tea and drank it alone, and was laughed at by His Majesty for being arty.
Chen Shou smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether he is arty or not, just be happy."As for His Majesty laughing at himself?Is that a joke? Some people want to be laughed at, but they are not blessed yet!
"Hey, what kind of wind brought Mr. Chen here today? Butler, go and pack some taels of the good tea that I specially hid for Mr. Chen." Ji Songren's voice arrived before he could.
"Yes, little one, let's go right away." Zheng Li knew as soon as he heard this that he was being asked to leave. He must have some secrets to tell!
Chen Shou secretly praised him after hearing it. This is the real way to know the elegant meaning of the song. He didn't say anything, but he roughly knew the purpose of his visit. This is the real smart person.
Of course, Ji Song is not the only smart person here, there are also ministers who make me feel chilly. They are really calculating and unscrupulous. Sometimes I really feel sad for those people. It is not good to offend anyone, but they offend Datang. This Aren't you looking for death?
"When did the great Marquis of the Tang Dynasty become so stingy? Just a few taels?" Chen Shou joked after getting to know Ji Song well and knowing what kind of temper he was.
Hearing this, Ji Song smiled bitterly and said: "My dear Mr. Chen, this is a rare good thing. Even if your majesty asked me for it last time, he only gave me a pound, how many taels? It's a lot, so just be satisfied!"
Chen Shou burst out laughing after hearing this. Once, when His Majesty came to Ji's Mansion and drank the tea that was said to be made from a thousand-year-old tree in Lingnan, and was successfully roasted after Ji Song's countless experiments, he was immediately shocked. Just ask him for it.
That look is an understatement.
At this point, Ji Song, who was forced to do nothing, gave His Majesty only a pound, almost rolling around, and then His Majesty let him go.
Sometimes I really feel that this boy is very strange and always surprises people. Whenever you feel that you are about to see through him, he will do something very puzzling and refresh everyone's understanding of him.
"Okay, this is His Majesty's decree. You can read it for yourself and destroy it immediately." After saying that, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve.
Ji Song took it. Since Chen Shou didn't announce the decree but gave it to him directly, Ji Song knew that it was the emperor's private message and became serious.
If the edict was clear, Ji Song didn't care much. It was an edict signed by three provinces, and there was nothing much to say.
But since the emperor was speaking privately, he had to be there is no legal basis for this, if something happens, even if Ji Song takes it out, it cannot prove that it is the emperor's will, and it has no legal effect.
There wasn't much content on it, but Ji Song read it for a whole cup of tea, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Shou sat beside it and waited slowly. He didn't know what it ’s not that he can’t read it, but it’s just that after reading it, there is an added risk.
After so many years in the palace, he realized that the less he knew, the better. It would be better if he could be blind and deaf.
Ji Song took out the fire folder and burned the paper until it was completely burned to ashes. Then he said to Chen Shou: "I know what your Majesty means. Please reply to your Majesty and say that I will go all out."
"That's good. In that case, the slave will return to the palace. Lord Marquis will be careful all the way. I will lead the horse for Lord Marquis on the day of victory." Chen Shou rarely became serious and said to Ji Song.
"Then I'll lend you your kind words, so I won't send them away!" Ji Song was not polite.
As soon as he walked out of the door, Zheng Li handed a porcelain vase to Chen Shou. Chen Shou laughed and took it directly. He had nothing to be polite to the dignified Marquis.
When Zheng Li returned to the room, he happened to see that his Marquis seemed to be thinking about something. He immediately slowed down and did not dare to disturb him at all.
After a while, Ji Song came back to his senses and said to Zheng Li: "This time I only brought Liu Lao'er and ten other people from the family, and I didn't bring Commander Ji Lu or anyone from the clan.
Remember, no matter what happens, mother must be the main priority. If there is any danger, go to Princess Pingyang's Mansion for help. We will wait until I come back. "
Zheng Li was indeed shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Master Hou, if you don't take them with you, how can we rest assured? You know."
"Snapped"
"Stop talking, everything is as per my wishes. Where's all the nonsense?" Ji Song slammed the table and said angrily.
Ji Song suddenly became angry, startling Zheng Li who was about to say something. Even Dahuang, who had just arrived at the door, was frightened and shrank back.
"Also, over at the academy, I will ask the teacher to take care of it. I think no one will pay attention to it, but you must also be a good guard on Zhuangzi and don't be careless in the slightest.
Let's do this. In addition to the thirty personal soldiers, go to Zhuangzi and mobilize 50 people to enter the Marquis's house as servants. Try not to let mother go out. If you really can't persuade her, bring more guards."
Ji Song said a lot, and Zheng Li also heard something unusual from it. Knowing what might happen next, he did not dare to neglect at all and kept what the Marquis said firmly in mind.
After the explanation, Ji Song had no intention of staying. He took a deep look at the depths of the Marquis Mansion, then headed north of the city with tears in his eyes.
Chen Shou returned to the palace to report to Li Shimin. He recounted to the emperor Ji Song's expression after seeing the paper without any concealment.
"He didn't say anything else?" Li Shimin asked unwillingly.
Chen Shou was helpless, how many times had he asked this question?But he still said: "No!"
Li Shimin waved his hand, indicating that he could get out.
"Alas! It depends on God's will!"
Only Li Shimin's helpless sigh was left in the empty hall. I’m starting to save manuscripts, and I’m worried!
