Chapter 424 Longevity Lock
When Li Shimin went to court that day, he seemed to have thought of something and said to Chen Shou beside him: "Is Ji Song's baby about to be born?"
Chen Shou was stunned, but he quickly replied: "Your Majesty remembers it well. If nothing else happens, it should have happened in the past few days."
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Go and call the prince."
"promise!"
Chen Shou left in a hurry. The eldest grandson said thoughtfully, "What do you mean?"
"Yes, I'll give him this opportunity and it depends on whether he can succeed."
The prince has done well in the past few years. No matter how he behaves in the world or his own knowledge is increasing day by day, he is very satisfied! So he decided to give him a chance. He knew best what Ji Song was capable of, not to mention he was still so young and could see it in the next 50 years.
As long as he can truly be used by the prince, even if he leaves in the future, you can rest assured.
In recent years, as students from Ji's Academy graduated, no less than 50 people took part in the imperial examinations. The abilities of these people made even Fang Xuanling, the prime minister of the dynasty, envious.
He even ignored the rules and brought the two of them to him to train them personally.
It is not difficult to see that these students are very different from other students.
He also knew the knowledge taught in Ji's Academy. In addition to the traditional knowledge of scholar-bureaucrats, many of them were very practical knowledge.
As soon as they entered the court, they showed their unique adaptability. They could get many things immediately, which made many officials love and hate them.
What I love is that these people are so easy to use and can do everything with ease, especially in arithmetic, they scorn many officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
What I hate is that these people are all from Ji's school, and some of them are children of the Xungui family. How does this make them, the scholar-bureaucrats, feel?
Not to mention other things, Li Jing's second son, Li Dejiang, was originally a playboy with no knowledge and skills. Unexpectedly, he has now become a master of arithmetic, and his abacus is even more powerful.
There is also Cheng Chusi of the Cheng family, who is now considered proficient in writing, and has several attainments in military writing and strategy!
Yuchi Paulin of the Yuchi family was originally a very dull person, but now she has made many achievements in governing civil affairs.
Not to mention the talented people in the school. Although they are not as outstanding as Ji Qing, Liu Xiancheng and others, they are considered to be the best in all aspects.
It is not difficult to see that in a few years, students from Ji's Academy will definitely occupy a certain position in the court.
As the nominal teacher of these people, Ji Song's status can be imagined. He is simply a natural talent for the prime minister.
As long as the prince is not stupid, as long as he keeps Ji Song's heart in check, he will be safe in the court in the future.
If Ji Song's legitimate son was born this time, if he couldn't control it, no one would be blamed.
He has given you the opportunity. Whether you can succeed or not is beyond his control.
People like Ji Song can't make him surrender by relying on rewards, and don't even think about using the emperor's authority to make him surrender.
Although this can make you lower your head, don't think that he will do anything for you. This kid is very good at pretending to be stupid, and he is even more of a monster at ten steps.
Who knows when, you will be tricked without knowing it and you will never be able to get over it.
Gratitude, only kindness can make him willingly use you.
Over the years, he has continued to show kindness to Ji Song. Whether it was making You Ning a princess or a private soldier, he, Ji Song, had to accept his kindness.
Facts have proved that he was right. The curved shaft plow, columbine cart, waterwheel, crossbow cart, and the cooperation on the video screen of Sinong Temple all made immortal contributions to the Tang Dynasty.
There are always some people in this world who are not afraid of power. He can bow to you because he cares about you, but if he wants to be truly useful to you, it depends on your means.
Li Shimin was thinking about this, and Li Chengqian came. "My son, I pay my respects to my father, the emperor and my queen!"
Although they are father and son, there is no family relationship in the Tian family, and proper etiquette is indispensable. As the prince, Li Chengqian obviously knows this.
"Well, I heard that Brother Song's wife, your sworn sister Jiankang, is going to give birth. If nothing happens, I'll go and have a look. After all, she's still your sister. Do you understand?"
Li Chengqian was stunned and said: "Father, my son and I are planning to go even if I don't tell you. This is a major event for our Ji family, and it is only right for us as friends to go and have a look!"
"friend?"
Li Shimin suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, in that case I won't say anything, just seize the opportunity."
Then he waved his hand: "It's okay, you can go."
Li Chengqian was confused and hurriedly called him over, just to say this?
But his father had already kicked them out, so he had no choice but to leave.
After Li Chengqian left, Changsun smiled and said: "It seems that your arrangement is no longer needed!"
Facing his eldest grandson's teasing, Li Shimin didn't take it seriously and said with a dumb smile: "It seems that stupid people have stupid blessings, friend? What a good friend!"
"I can rest assured from now on. Although Cheng Qian is a bit weak, he has good luck. It depends on him what happens in the future."
"You, can't you speak clearly when talking to your son? You have to make things so confusing and ask him to guess. I really don't understand you." The eldest grandson complained a little.
"There are some things that I can't help myself. He has to realize these things by himself. Once he realizes and understands them, it belongs to him. What I tell him may not be suitable for him!"
Li Shimin shook his head and said, this is the helplessness of being a Tian family. Surrounded by wolves, if you are not careful, you will die and your country will be destroyed. Only if you really understand, it is your own.
Li Chengqian had no idea about his father's good intentions. He was looking for something in the East Palace.
"Prince, what are you looking for? I will help you find it!"
Seeing his prince rummaging through the boxes and cabinets looking for something, Zhang Zhong, as the eunuch in charge of the East Palace, asked quickly.
Li Chengqian wondered: "Where is my longevity lock? Why can't I find it?"
"Longevity lock?" Zhang Zhong was stunned.
He really didn't know about this, and he didn't dare to neglect it. If the prince said there was something, there must be something, and if there wasn't, there had to be something.
The two searched for a long time but still couldn't find it. Just when Li Chengqian was anxious, Zhang Zhong seemed to see something.
"Prince, what is in your arms?"
Li Chengqian looked down and saw that a bouquet of red cherry blossoms was exposed in his arms due to excessive movements.
"Look at my memory!"
He patted himself on the head and said with some annoyance.
It turns out that a few days ago, he was thinking about what gift to give to Song Geer's child. He asked many people, and they all said that it would be a good gift for the child to live long.
He asked the master craftsman who would be the supervisor to make two pairs specially. Both the workmanship and the materials were top-notch. Since he didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl, he made two pairs just to be prepared! He took it out and saw that it was indeed this thing.
Only then did he remember that he had played with it last night and put it beside the bed. Maybe he had put it in his arms when he woke up this morning! He looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he found there was no problem.
Then he ordered: "Prepare the horses, let's go to Song Ge'er's place."
