Chapter 289 Thoughts and Drunkness
Liu Laoer came back and told the other party that he had accepted it, and Ji Song was relieved. To be honest, he didn't want such a woman who had made such contributions to the Han family to end up with the same fate as her previous life.
Had she not told Shibi Khan that the grassland was unstable and forced the Turks to retreat, Yang Guang might have been captured by the Turks.
Once this happens, it will be a great shame for the Central Plains and a huge blow to the Han Dynasty.
At that time, maybe it will not be the 36 smokes and 72 princes fighting for hegemony in the world, but the foreign races going south to the Central Plains and repeating the tragedy of the Five Husbands in China.
Therefore, both in public and private matters, Princess Yicheng should not have such an end.
It would be fine if he didn't have the chance, but now he clearly can do it but doesn't do it, so what's the difference between him and those people? Could it be that God allowed me to come to this era just to follow the crowd?
However, Princess Yicheng had a death wish and even insulted Li Shimin and Datang at first. If he hadn't driven them away early, Li Jing would never have tolerated it if word got out.
Fortunately, I have calmed down during this period. I should eat and drink, but I just don’t want to bow my head.
"If she has any requirements, try to satisfy her!" Ji Song ordered.
Liu Laoer was a little dissatisfied and said: "Master Hou, why did you do this? He encouraged Jie Li to go south, and even supported the pseudo-Sui court to gain a foothold in the grassland. It is not a pity for her to die, but you..."
"Get out!"
"Your Majesty"
But before he could finish speaking, he felt kicked, and by the time he reacted, he was already on the ground outside the big tent.
He patted the dust on his body and said to the soldier outside the tent: "Master Hou is playing with me, don't you believe it? Then see if I'm okay?"
After saying that, he also made a few moves. When he walked to a deserted place with his head held high, he said "Ouch" and held his waist and kept inhaling.
Ji Song didn't pay attention to him. He came directly out of the tent and galloped away on Honglei!
The big eagle, Ying Er heard the noise and immediately spread its wings and flew in the direction of Ji Song.
Ji Song galloped on his horse and stopped when he reached a high ground.
"what"
Ji Song shouted loudly, and the two little guys also met in the sky, making sharp screams.
When it got quiet, he sat on the soft grass, his mind wandering.
He knew that he could not become a hero or an overlord. It was not that he was modest, but that there was a huge flaw in his character.
He values feelings, and sometimes likes to act impulsively or even emotionally.
All these lead to his inability to become a qualified politician and his inability to turn a blind eye to certain things. He cannot and does not want to! But Liu Laoer's words today made him realize that the people of this era were not yet enlightened, and everyone's judgments on things were basically those of the scholar-bureaucrat class.
Whatever they say is what they say, and different opinions emerge, which will soon disappear in the big waves.
Don't think that the scholar-bureaucrats who are mainly Confucianists are all warm-hearted. That's because they now have an absolute advantage.
Once it develops into the Song and Ming dynasties, it will evolve into a man-eating monster.
Things without competition will always develop into extremes, and things without restraint will also become man-eating monsters. At this time, the common value is that a family comes first before a families think so. Even though the children of aristocratic families have made achievements in the court, they are also loyal to the emperor.
But once the national interests and their own family interests diverge, they will abandon the national interests without hesitation. There is no need to doubt this.
If you want this nation to develop in a healthy way, you can be a dominant family, but you cannot be the only one who dominates.
Ji Song thought a lot, a lot. It wasn't until the sunset shone on him that he realized that he had stayed here all day.
I was in a daze for a whole day?Oh my God!What's wrong with you? Shaking his head not to think about these things, he climbed on Honglei and headed towards the camp. The two little guys also spread their wings and flew up.
When I returned to the camp, I looked at Liu Laoer kneeling in front of the big tent, kicked him, and went into the tent by myself.
But what he didn't expect was that Chai Shao was actually in the big tent. He was surprised and said: "Why is uncle here?"
Chai Shao dropped the half-eaten leg of lamb and said angrily: "You have been missing for almost a day. The leader of your soldiers was almost crazy with anxiety, so he came to find me."
"Say, what are you doing? You're almost getting married, why are you still so frizzy?"
Ji Song smiled bitterly, took a sip of wine, and said bitterly: "Do you think Princess Yicheng deserves to die?"
Chai Shao didn't expect Ji Song to ask this question, so he thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter whether she dies or not. She is just an old woman. Although she has done some stupid things, her merits outweigh her faults. As long as she is soft, Your Majesty." I won’t embarrass her.”
"Really?" Ji Song said excitedly.
Chai Shao said indifferently: "Your Majesty is not as narrow-minded as you think, and he can still tolerate her as a helpless woman. Even if she has some resentment, what can she do?"
Hearing what Chai Shao said, Ji Song secretly cursed himself for getting into trouble. Why didn't he think of such a simple question? For a woman who wants nothing, besides her obsession with her former dynasty, what other threats are there? After thinking about this, Ji Song felt much more relaxed and shouted outside the checkroom: "Why don't you come in and serve me? If you like to kneel so much, then you can kneel until dawn."
"Oh, come right away."
Liu Laoer was shameless and without any hesitation, he immediately came in and started pouring wine for the two of them.
He was beaten up by the Marquis for no apparent reason before. When the soldiers said that the Marquis was missing, he was frightened to death. He thought he had said something he shouldn't have said! In desperation, he went to find Chai Shao. After hearing the cause and effect, Chai Shao asked him to kneel outside the tent.
Ji Song put aside his worries and started drinking with Chai Shao, but as he rarely drank, he was no match for Chai Shao, a veteran of the wine shop.
Chai Shao had nothing wrong with him, but he got himself drunk first.
Looking at Ji Song who was lying on the table and mumbling, Chai Shao had a complicated expression.
Regarding Ji Song's kindness as a woman, he was disappointed that iron could not be transformed into steel, but he was also pleased with his innocent heart! People like myself have been through the troubled times of the late Sui Dynasty and have long been accustomed to seeing the tragedies in the world. Their hearts have long been hardened into stone. There are very few things that can move them.
In fact, after listening to Liu Laoer talk about what Ji Song had done during this period, he already knew what this kid wanted to do! He had already done what he wanted to do to stop her. If Ji Song didn't listen to the dissuasion, he would kill the old woman even at the risk of being punished by His Majesty.
He doesn't care whether you have merit or not, as long as you are in the way, you are an enemy and you will kill him.
But seeing Brother Song looking so happy, I could only sigh secretly, forget it, just go and beg Your Majesty!
They must have been able to let the woman go for the sake of Pingyang and the others! As for those civil servants who talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, Li Gang, a teacher, is blocking them. If anyone dares to bully them.
Huh, do you really think I am a vegetarian?
