Chapter 172: Wenzong enters Chang'an

No one thought that when the turmoil of Du Yuan's assassination had not yet ended, the news that the head of Zhaowen Academy, Wenzong Ji Ling, was about to enter Chang'an, caused a shock in the Tang Dynasty. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the six great Wenzong, the two of them are in the court to help the Chaogang, and the four of them are in the opposition to control the four major academies of the country, and the four great Wenzong only go to Taixuan Academy to participate in the four academy examinations at most, and rarely enter Chang'an City, even if they enter Chang'an, they will not be so fanfare, but Ji Ling did this, no one thought he was old and confused, everyone in the court was guessing, what news was Wenzong Ji Ling conveying.

An ox cart, an old slave, and Lin Dongru, the dean of the Martial Arts Academy of Zhaowen Academy behind him, personally escorted him with the strength of the Great Martial Sect, and originally did not need any escort, but this time it was Ji Ling's initiative to ask, and he must not let himself have any mistakes now when he did not reach his goal.

Originally, Ji Ling came from the south and should have taken the Mingde Gate, but Ji Ling deliberately let the old slave drive a big circle and enter Chang'an from the Tonghua Gate. After entering the Tonghua Gate, there are Yongjiafang and Xingningfang, and the twelve markets near Tonghuamen are all the places where the dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty live, Ji Ling's move is to announce to everyone that he is not for the purpose of visiting friends this time, but as the head of the Zhaowen Academy, Wenzong entered Chang'an, and there is another picture, which is a little unusual, you must know that the four major Wenzong who control the academy will never ask about the affairs of the court. Even Li An, the first king of the Tang Dynasty, did not intervene in court affairs as Wenzong after teaching Qingya, at most he only wrote private letters to the emperor as the fourth emperor uncle of the imperial family.

But no matter what Ji Ling's purpose is, Gaozong Li Zhi must greet him in person, and the officials of the first department of Zhaowen Academy are even more excited, the prince of heaven and earth, Ji Ling's identity can be regarded as extremely respectful, and he has never entered Chang'an so openly, Ji Ling is so good, even the emperor has to cooperate, and wait silently under the imperial city.

The whole street has been cleaned, the water is splashed on the street, the blue bricks and stones are very smooth, and there are no idle people. Ji Ling's entry into Chang'an alarmed most of the court, the head of the hundred officials of Shangguanyi, and now he is standing aside in a scribe's shirt and waiting, the officials of the Ministry of Shangshu and so on, all the officials of the Zhaowen Academy are waiting in Mingdemen.

Finally, an ox cart drove into the eye socket, the ox cart was very stable, the wheel turned and rolled on the bluestone street to make a crisp sound, and when it arrived at the city gate, the ox cart lifted a corner of the curtain, leaking Ji Ling's old face. Li Zhi shouldered and greeted him personally.

"Mr. Ji"

"Labor holy drive, it's really a crime" Ji Ling bowed halfway on the ox cart, and even the emperor hurriedly helped Ji Ling out of the ox cart.

"Mr. Ji has worked hard, educated the people of the world, and made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty

"You are alarmed, you are alarmed" Ji Ling confessed to the surroundings.

"Sir, you're polite" Shangguan Yi had a happy look on his face, but when he saw that Ji Ling's sideburns were white, and his loose skin was folded on his face, his eyes back then showed the wisdom and clarity of seeing through everything in the world, but now he was tired, and he couldn't help but be a little worried when he thought about the news that Ji Ling was seriously ill before.

"I haven't seen you for many years, but Mr. is much older" Shangguan Yi still remembers that twenty years ago, Mr. Ji Da, who was world-minded and knowledgeable, once taught him how to stand up, how to benefit the people, and how to gain a foothold in the court. The situation in the court has changed drastically, and everyone has seen his majesty as the head of the hundred officials of the dynasty, but they don't know how much it cost to climb to the current position. Entering the court as an official, entering the court is the Longtan Tiger's Den, even more dangerous than it, how many families are broken and killed, and several fierce court battles have laid the foundation for the situation that the four major academies are now controlled by one side, and if it is not for the secret guidance and help of this Wenzong who sees through everything, how can he be the Shangguan Yi of the first prime minister now.

"The solar terms don't spare the seedlings, the years don't spare people," Shangguan Yi supported Ji Ling and Li Zhi to walk together.

"Today, I have set up a banquet in the palace to invite Mr. Ji to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Mr. Ji" Although Li Zhi didn't understand Ji Ling's intention to come this time, Ji Ling's identity was here, and he had to pay attention to it.

Along the way, Li Zhi and Ji Ling chatted, and it was always very comfortable to chat with a Wenzong who was well-versed in the past and the present, no matter what he said, Ji Ling could answer it, and he also left the emperor with a stubble. The two retreated, and they didn't even see the queen and princess, only Li Zhi, Ji Ling and Shangguan Yi.

"Mr. Ji, I don't know what happened to Mr. in Beijing this time"

Ji Ling had a mysterious smile on her face, no one knew what Ji Ling was laughing at, "Your Majesty, the old man has something to do on this trip, but he can't say it, he can't say it, otherwise there will be additional disasters."

"Haha, what's the big disaster, can it still be too big to pass me?" Li Zhi was originally just a joke, but seeing Ji Ling's calm expression, there was even a little recognition in this smile, looking at Ji Ling's meaningful smile, Li Zhi thought about Ji Ling's inexplicable entry into Chang'an this time, and he muttered a little unconfident in his heart.

"Mr. Ji, is it being said by me?" Li Zhi asked tentatively

"Sir, here Your Majesty, and me, if there is anything you can say, there is a place for students, but please command" In the face of the teacher, Shangguan Yi naturally tried his best to help.

"You can't say it, you can't say it" Ji Ling shook his head, he really couldn't say this secret in his heart, otherwise Datang would really turn the sky upside down.

"Since Mr. doesn't say it, I don't ask much, Mr. Ji has been dedicated to the country for decades, I can still trust Mr." This is not a compliment, the reason why the four academies have a transcendent status, and the emperor is also respectful to Wenzong is naturally his reason.

There are many reasons why the Li Tang royal family can control the world, but one of the main reasons is the support of the Guanlong nobles, who are based on the six towns of Wuchuan and have controlled the economy of the Guanzhong region for generations. However, it was the contribution of the four academies that governed the country and made Datang go to glory. Since ancient times, learning has been the prerogative of the aristocracy, and it is also the basis for the aristocracy to rule the world. However, Gaozu Taizong agreed with the academy that the four academies would open the door to people with lofty ideals in the world, break the monopoly of the aristocracy, and continuously transport talents to the court and all parts of the Tang Dynasty, so that the Tang Dynasty could rise in the shortest possible time and surpass other century-old empires called the strongest country.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for believing it," Ji Ling bowed her head as a return gift.

"How long will the gentleman stay here?"

"Your Majesty, the old man can't say for sure, it's as little as ten days and a half months, or as long as I live, stay here as long as I want" Ji Ling sighed.

"What is this that Mr. Ji said, I wish Mr. Ji a long and healthy life," Shangguan Yi said

After finishing dinner in the palace, he said goodbye to the emperor, and refused the frame of the emperor to send the two out of the palace.

"Sir, what are you here for?" some things were difficult to say in front of the emperor, but the two of them could talk about it when they were alone.

"You Shao, Mr. is here for two purposes, one is to get rid of the thief, and the other is to avenge Du Yuan."

"Avenge Mr. Du?" Shangguan Yi's face changed, this has become an unsolved case, in the past few days, the masters of Suwangfu have turned over the entire Chang'an Street, and the murderer has not been found, "Sir, do you know who did it"

Ji Ling nodded, "Actually, the old man, these two things are also one thing."

"Sir, do you mean that the thief in your mouth is the murderer?

Shangguan Yi doesn't understand, the mountain chiefs of the four academies, although the four Wenzong are not in the dynasty and have no real power, they are all the titles of Zhengyipin, Ji Ling is the first-grade Taibao, Du Yuan is the first-grade Taifu who assists the minister and the emperor, plus Jin Taiyan, the first-grade Taishi, the three Wenzong are the three princes of the Tang Dynasty!

Although the three dukes are only concurrent, adding officials or gifting officials rather than officials, they have a prominent status, Daoxie Yin and Yang, the Son of Heaven, the state Honghua, and the extremely popular minister.

"This thief is a big thief of the country, if the old man is not successful, Datang will be in danger"

Shangguan Yi was a former student of Ji Ling, so he naturally knew that his husband never replied to the letter, he said that the situation was about to be dangerous, so the situation would only be more serious than what he said.

"Sir, what should we do," Shangguan Yi asked

"With the strength of my Zhaowen family of officials, plus me, the old, weak, sick and disabled, even if it is the sky, I have to fight" Ji Ling straightened her shoulders and looked at the sky and night, a round of bright moonlight "Although the moonlight and stars are brilliant, they still can't suppress the sun"

Shangguan Yi's heart moved, and he seemed to understand something, "Why can't I say it in front of His Majesty just now?"

"You Shao, there are some things that can't be picked on the bright side, if you find it clear, you can only fight for a fish and a dead net, and if the Tang Dynasty is in great political turmoil, the ambitions of the wolves in the Quartet will definitely make waves again, so you have to be careful."

"Sir, everything is up to you"

Shangguan Yi's entry into the court aroused everyone's suspicions, but there was no movement for a few days, and some people even thought that maybe it was because the Ji family was in the middle of the road and was remembered by the Quartet, Ji Ling undoubtedly wanted to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, so that others could see that he was still alive. However, Pei Yan and Liu Renliang all believed that Ji Ling must have another deep meaning when he came, so he sent a letter to the head of the academy, but only received a reply from Jing Jing to see what happened.
