Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 1019 Qujiang Furong

At this time, Li Shan's thoughts had already let go. Just now, he thought of the outing that might have only appeared in the Song Dynasty, and met Ashina's children again. He thought of many, many things from this surname.

It is said that the Song Dynasty is weak, but the Song army is really not weak. After losing half of the country, it can still compete with the invincible Mongolia for more than half a century, but the Song Dynasty is also really weak. No dynasty has endured more bullying by foreigners than them.

Although there are various factors, the natural insufficiency of the Song Dynasty is obviously a key point. The natural insufficiency mainly lies in the loss of Yanyun Sixteen States, which not only led to the lack of war horses throughout the Song Dynasty, but also directly led to the lack of strategic depth in the Song Dynasty.

Li Shan thought farther and farther. When he mentioned Yanyun Sixteen States, later generations said that Shi Jingtang was a sinner through the ages and a traitor.

Among the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Later Tang, Later Jin, and Later Han were all countries established by foreign races. In fact, this is directly related to the use of a large number of Hu generals in the Tang Dynasty. The use of Hu generals ran through the entire Tang Dynasty.

Later generations have a lot of evaluation and analysis on this. The main point is that Li Tang's clan itself has Hu blood, so they don't care about it. However, Li Shan speculates that it may be Li Shimin's personal choice. This is an emperor who strives for perfection. The title of "Tian Khan" may be directly related to the change of Xuanwu Gate.

If there is no change of Xuanwu Gate in this life, is it possible that there will be no Tian Khan, and will there still be so many barbarian generals in the Tang Dynasty?
Although there were quite a few barbarian generals even during the reign of Wude, what was passed down was the demeanor of the Han people. Other choices, such as Tang Xuanzong may not believe in An Lushan...

"Brother Huai?" Zhang Wenguan reminded in a low voice.

Li Zhaode on the side simply tilted his elbow and bumped into Li Shan, "Luo Yang is really here!"

Glancing at Li Zhaode who was about to move, Li Shan frowned, "Stop talking to him."

Luo Yang also spotted Li Shan and his party. He looked gloomyly and then changed direction. His nose was broken again in the fight at the end of last year, and he was whipped by Princess Pingyang in the Linhu Palace. He went home He was reprimanded by his father Luo Yi, and Luo Yi couldn't please the prince... In the end, it was all thanks to Li Shan.

Li Shan didn't care, there was no need to provoke Luo Yi at the moment, so he just pretended he didn't see it.

Now that there is a conflict with Luo Yi, the East Palace will definitely protect it. The Crown Prince cannot bear the loss of Luo Yi, because among the generals in the East Palace, Xue Wanche and Feng Li are still in the Lingzhou Army, and Li Gaoqian is a waste. Li Jiancheng or Pei Shiju can only count on Luo Yi.

Moreover, if there is a conflict with Luo Yi, if there is a big trouble, Li Shan may have to carry the blame, and Li Yuan put it on Li Shan's back specially. Expel Luo Yi, it is likely to completely anger the prince... This is obviously going to be easy. storage.

Walking all the way into the depths of the Furong Garden, there are more and more people. From time to time, some people come over to say hello. Yang Siyi and Chen Xuande, the sons of the minister's family, come to make fun of Li Shan. , aren't you afraid of the whip of Qinghe county magistrate?
"I'm here to accompany Zhigui and Zhaode today." Li Shan said with a smile, "The post has already been delivered, so don't be absent on the wedding day!"

"That's natural." Yang Siyi said regretfully, "It's a pity that Huairen's best man is full."

The six bridesmaids finally chose Zhang Wenguan, Li Zhaode, Wang Renbiao, Wen Bang, Zhao Cihao, and Zhang Fuzhi. Although the latter two were all attached to the King of Qin, they had some connection with the fight last year.

Chen Xuande said with a smile: "It's okay, let's go make up together."

"Let's go together, let's go together!" Li Zhaode booed from the side, "Brother Huai has already prepared a reminder poem."

Yang Siyi's eyes lit up, "This time when Huairen returned to Beijing, he wrote many poems... This makeup reminder poem has been deliberated for a long time, and it must be handed down from generation to generation!"

At this time, a few more people gathered around, most of them were descendants of similar ages, and Li Shan greeted them one by one. It is no exaggeration to say that the descendants of the noble family in Furong Garden today basically owed favors to Li Shan.

"I would also like to thank you for your righteousness and frankness." Li Shan smiled and looked at a young scholar, this is Lu Hong, the person involved in the Dongshan restaurant fight last year, a descendant of Fan Yang's Lu family, who was outspoken in the Linhu Hall.

"I heard that His Royal Highness King Wei's poetic talent came to Beijing last year, and the sixth brother mentioned it repeatedly. I feel ashamed." Lu Hong said with a smile: "I don't know how lucky I am to listen to the works handed down from generation to generation."

The so-called six brothers refer to Lu Chengji, a Jinshi of the same discipline who had a close relationship with Li Shan. Because his father Lu Chisong died of illness after the First World War in Tiantai Mountain, he returned to his hometown to observe his filial piety.

"Just come." Li Shan didn't care, anyway, there were a large group of children from Prince Qin's residence, including Chang Sun Chong, Chen Xuande, Gao Xing, and Fang Yizhi, to join in the fun. Too big, Wei Zheng's son has just learned how to walk, otherwise he would have dragged him here.

"On that day, Prince Zhai Shuai will come to celebrate." Lu Hong's eyes flickered.

"Prince Zhai handsome?" Li Shan was stunned, who is this?

Yang Siyi on the side leaned into Li Shan's ear and whispered: "Xue Wanshu, the eldest son of Xue Shixiong, the former Sui Zuo Yuwei General, once served in the Zheng Kingdom. Wu De returned to Tang Dynasty in four years and entered the East Palace. Last year, he was appointed as Prince Zhaishuai."

Oh, Li Shan remembered that Su Dingfang mentioned this person, and it seemed that he had a private relationship with Su's mother.

Lu Hong smiled and said: "After all, Duke Wu'an, Duke Lu..."

Xue Wanshu's younger brothers Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun can be regarded as Li Shan's old troops, especially Xue Wanche and Li Shan stood side by side in Guji Town, raised the whip on the Great Wall, and also participated in the two battles of Jingzhou and Yuanzhou. He is the deputy of Zhao Guogong Su Dingfang.

"I heard that a big battle is about to start, and His Royal Highness the King of Wei has decided to win the game. With Zhao Guogong and Wu'an County Duke as commanders, this battle is bound to be victorious." Lu Hong said with a smile: "Liang Jun is already vulnerable, so many people invite you to join the army." As a result, the martial arts in Beijing will flourish.”

Li Shan slowly suppressed his smile, narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Hong, and then whispered after a while: "Call me Huairen."

It's a well-deserved reputation, it was revealed at one point, Lu Hong bowed his hands and saluted, changed his name and exchanged a few words before slowly leaving.

Li Shan continued to chat with everyone as if nothing had happened. After a while, Zhang Wenguan, who disappeared without knowing when, appeared behind Li Shan and whispered something in his ear.

Taking a deep breath, Li Shan waved his sleeves and laughed angrily, "It's really shameless!"

"Huiren?" Yang Siyi, Fang Yizhi and everyone looked at him.

Li Shan said nothing, and looked at Zhang Wenguan with a cold face, "Lead the way ahead!"
