Chapter 629: Aftermath
After coming back quietly, Ji Li didn't seem to be so sensational, but asked Ji Sheng to call Ji Chang first. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Father!" Ji Chang was so excited that he burst into tears when he saw his father Ji Li, and knelt down directly.
Ji Sheng persuaded him for a while, and finally pulled the excited Ji Chang up. After Ji Chang and Ji Li's father and son barely calmed down, they were finally able to communicate normally.
"Father, I'll have someone go and invite my mother," Ji Chang said first.
"Hey, don't worry!" Ji Li waved his hand lightly and said, "Chang'er, don't alarm your mother yet." Don't let anyone else know about my father's return. ”
Ji Chang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but hurriedly say: "Father, why? I still want to summon my Xiqi civil and military officials tomorrow and tell them that you are back, and let them come to see you!"
"Chang'er, for my father's life this time, fortunately, your brother rescued me," Ji Li shook his head.
Hearing Ji Li's words, Ji Chang couldn't help but look at Ji Sheng with some surprise and surprise, it turned out that this kid had rescued his father? How old is he? Where did he get such ability?
Ji Li continued: "However, although my father has returned, this time it has also brought trouble to Xiqi!"
"Trouble, does my father mean that Chaoge will send a large army to fight against him?" Ji Chang's expression moved slightly.
"Once Di Yi knows that I have returned to Xiqi safely, the possibility of sending troops to recruit is not impossible," Ji Li nodded.
When Ji Chang heard this, he couldn't help frowning: "What can I do about this?" Although Xiqi has developed well over the years, I am afraid that it will not be able to resist the imperial army. The big war is together, but the people of Xiqi are suffering!"
"So, we have to find a way to eliminate this possible fighting," Jili nodded.
"What does Father mean?" Ji Chang asked thoughtfully.
Ji Li smiled sideways and glanced at Ji Sheng on the side: "Father didn't have any ideas at first. However, your brother has an idea for his father, so let him tell you!"
"Oh, little brother, do you have any good ideas?" Ji Chang immediately looked at Ji Sheng curiously when he heard this. Knowing that Ji Sheng rescued his father from Chaoge single-handedly, Ji Chang didn't dare to underestimate this younger brother.
Ji Sheng smiled indifferently and said, "Big brother, this time, I saved my father from the execution ground." Na Di Yi had the intention of killing his father and put his father in prison. I deliberately asked my father to scold Na Di Yi for killing Zhongliang in prison, and wanted to do things like cunning rabbit death and lackey cooking, which caused Di Yi to be furious and wanted to kill his father. I, on the other hand, took this opportunity to rescue my father, and left some blood on the execution ground, so they would have suspected that he was injured. Let's do what we want, so that my father will be injured, and even die of his injuries soon. ”
"What, little brother, what are you talking about? How can you?" Listening to Ji Sheng's narration, Ji Changmeng, who was surprised and groaned, suddenly changed his face when he heard Ji Sheng's words, and said busily.
Ji Li smiled and said, "Chang'er, what are you nervous about? Your brother means to pretend to be seriously injured for his father, and even pretend to be dead at the right time." What Emperor Yi is afraid of is his father, as long as his father makes him feel that there is no threat, he will not easily mobilize people to come to crusade against me Xiqi. ”
"Oh, father, the child understands," Ji Chang, who nodded suddenly, couldn't help frowning and said, "But father, this is pretending to be dead, you..."
"Huh.. Chang'er, there's nothing wrong with that. After working for my father and Xiqi for most of my life, it's time to put the inheritance of your ancestors into your hands. What is so bad about living by death, and my father can live a happy life for a few days and enjoy pure happiness?" Ji Li said with a nonchalant smile.
When Ji Chang heard this, although he felt that this method was not very good, he didn't want to say anything, so he could only reluctantly nod and then said: "But father, since Di Yi is jealous of me Xiqi." Then, even if he believes that his father is dead, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not fight against me Xiqi again. After all, he wanted to kill his father, but he let his father escape, and there was enough reason to send troops to suppress him!"
"Big brother, there's nothing to worry about," Ji Sheng said with a smile: "Big brother can send someone to spread the news, so that everyone in the world knows that Emperor Yi killed Zhongliang, which made the immortals look down on him, and rescued his father." After the news spreads slowly, if the father cheats to death again, the people of the world will inevitably sympathize with the father, and blame Emperor Yi for being cruel. ”
Ji Li also smiled: "Yes! When the time comes, the people will not be attached to it, and the teacher will not be nameless, and this battle will not be fought."
"Father, that child will immediately send a letter of pleading to Chaoge as the acting government of Xiqi," Ji Chang, whose eyes flashed, also said with a meaningful smile.
Ji Sheng glanced at Ji Chang in surprise when he heard this, and then the smile on the corner of his mouth became stronger. Sure enough, politicians are cunning foxes.
The father and son discussed it, and soon Ji Chang acted according to the plan. A few days later, Ji Li, who was already emaciated and haggard, dressed up, and suddenly summoned the minister of Xiqi civil and military affairs like a sick old man, during which his voice was weak and hoarse, and before he could say a few words to the ministers, he coughed up blood directly, and the terrible ministers were startled.
When the news spread, the magnates of Xiqi City were boiling, and the people of Xiqi were slowly boiling. It is rumored that Emperor Yi ostensibly invited Hou Ye to go to Chaoge to be a big official, but in fact, he was afraid of Hou Ye's wisdom and put him under house arrest in Chaoge. Moreover, in the house arrest, Di Yi also let people torture Xibo Hou Jili fiercely, and all kinds of torture methods spread to the nose and eyes, which made people feel chills in their hearts when they heard it. Later, Di Yi wanted to kill Hou Ye, but fortunately, an immortal righteous man came to save Hou Ye. Although Hou Ye came back, he was about to be tortured to death by Di Yi, and it is said that he was seriously ill and bedridden.
To say that Ji Li's reputation in Xiqi is still very high, and the people of Xiqi are able to live a prosperous life thanks to Ji Li's wisdom! Hearing that such a virtuous marquis was so brutalized by Di Yi, the crowd is furious! Rumors are spreading, and Di Yi's reputation is a little stinky.
Ji Li, who was 'seriously ill', lasted for more than half a year, but after all, he still couldn't hold it and 'died'. After Ji Li's death, Ji Chang inherited the title of Marquis of Xibi, and Xiqi not only did not lose morale because of Ji Li's death, but the people became more attached and the courtiers more loyal.
This situation spread to Chaoge, and Di Yi was so angry that he vomited three liters of blood. But he also saw that he might not be able to deal with Xiqi now. In addition, that Ji Chang was obviously much weaker than Ji Li, and he had already been guilty of pleading, so Di Yi didn't take Ji Chang too seriously, and temporarily suppressed the idea of dealing with Xiqi, and concentrated on dealing with other chaos in the Yin Shang Dynasty, wanting to nip many troubles in the bud and leave a stable dynasty for his son in the future.
It's a pity that Di Yi worked hard, but he didn't think of what his son Yin Shou was. Such a hard-working situation will eventually be shattered by his son.
A military disaster in Xiqi was eliminated and invisible, and Ji Chang was also entrusted by Ji Li to develop and prosper Xiqi with peace of mind.
Ji Chang, who saw Ji Sheng's talent, wanted to promote this younger brother to assist him in managing Xiqi. However, how could Ji Sheng have the heart to care about this? He excused himself on the grounds of concentrating on the Immortal Dao.
However, Ji Sheng also proposed to Ji Chang that in addition to developing agriculture, he should also strive to develop commerce and trade. When commerce and trade prosper and the development of various industries is stimulated, Xiqi can truly become rich and strong. Only when there is money can we develop armaments! In the future, the elite army that will crusade against the Yin Shang will rely on money and food resources to support it!
But no matter what, Ji Sheng won't care about these things. He is still lazy, being his powerful son, hanging his son and being at ease, which makes Ji Chang very helpless. From the advice that Ji Sheng gave him from time to time, he knew that his younger brother was really talented. It's a pity that he doesn't like to be disturbed by mundane things, and he is bent on asking for an ethereal immortal way, which makes people helpless.
In the next few years, Ji Sheng's life was simple and fulfilling, practicing, guiding the two maids Xiaohua Xiaoci, and some little nephews who grew up slowly practicing martial arts, and sometimes gathering with the powerful sons of Xiqi, hunting or something, the days were pleasant, and the standard was a big and young posture of eating and waiting for death.
And only a few people such as Ji Chang knew that he secretly recruited talents who were good at business, developed business with the help of the Ji family, secretly rescued the poor, collected orphans, and quietly formed and trained an elite team that was good at intelligence, assassination, and sneak attacks. All these have invisibly increased Xiqi's overall strength.
Even most of the powerful people in Xiqi would never have thought that this Sheng Gongzi, who seemed to be a good man, would quietly take charge of such an important secret force for Xiqi.
In fact, Ji Sheng leaves everything to his subordinates, and it is his advantage to be good at employing people. Only those who can use people's superiors can live more easily!(To be continued.) )
