Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 1070

Outside the Suzaku Gate, dozens of cavalry came from the east. The rest of the cavalry slowed down, but the tall maroon horse in the front accelerated instead. When it reached the Suzaku Gate, the knight pulled the reins slightly, and the horse neighed, obediently stopped.

Li Shan touched the horse's head happily, thinking it was like stepping on the brakes, it was too human.

"A Lang." Hou Hongtao came up to meet him.

"You are on duty now." Li Shan got off his horse and threw the reins to Hou Hongtao. This guy had already returned to the Beiya Imperial Army and was serving as the gate guard of the left prison. He happened to be on duty at the Suzaku Gate today.

"Your Highness, Ah Hei is really capable, Brother Ding Fang also praised him as a bole." Hou Hongtao took the reins, tut tut to his colleagues: "This is a real horse!"

There has never been a shortage of war horses in Sun Moon Lake these years. There is even a small horse farm in the south of the original Zhujiagou village. Liu Heier picked out a good horse in it a few days ago, and carefully raised it for a period of time before giving it away. To Li Shan.

This horse has both long strength and rapid acceleration. It has a slender and graceful body, but also has a human nature. It is extremely well-behaved. It is deeply loved by Li Shan, and even Wang Junhao is jealous.

Leaving his personal guards at Zhuque Gate, Li Shan walked into the imperial city and met Chai Shao outside Chengtian Gate.

"Brother-in-law."

"It's a coincidence." Chai Shao cursed with a smile, "You entered the palace just after the morning court."

Li Shan chuckled and asked in a low voice, "Are you discussing matters in the Liangyi Palace?"

"Ah."

Li Shan thought for a while, "It seems that I can go around."

"En." Chai Shao urged, "I'm waiting for you."

Li Shan didn't care, if it wasn't for the sake of the third sister, he wouldn't have bothered to come here, and walked around the Liangyi Hall in a leisurely way... I don't know what was discussed today, but one thing is for sure, Li Shan didn't want to get involved in the discussion of several great victories.

Bypassing the Liangyi Hall, Li Shan stopped and looked towards the east. He remembered that not far away was the Chengqian Hall. He looked around. The terrain was a bit complicated, and the buildings were quite crowded. It's completely different. Once something goes wrong, even with Master Li Ke and Zhang Cong, can Li Shimin leave the palace smoothly?
Going further north and bypassing the two palaces is the Ganlu Hall, which is used for reading in name, but in fact this is a common place where Li Yuan usually summons the prince, the king of Qin and the children of the clan. Li Yuan sometimes takes a lunch break or holds a family banquet here .

"Third Sister." Li Shan greeted Princess Pingyang first, and then saluted a graceful and luxurious middle-aged woman who only wore ordinary clothes: "Meet Concubine Wan Gui."

"Get up." Concubine Wan Gui was usually serious and stern, she looked at her carefully for a while, and she smiled rarely, "You are really a good man."

Li Shan was a little surprised, and looked sideways, Princess Pingyang snorted, "It's just too dark, I'll stay next year to see if you're lying... Did you get tanned in Lingnan?"

Concubine Wan Gui covered her mouth and smiled, "It's only been two months since we've been here, are you already looking forward to doing something?"

"Even the morning court will be absent..." Princess Pingyang raised her chin at Li Shan, and said simply, "What's going on with you and Wan Dao?"

"I submitted two posts, but you refused to accept them?"

Knowing that this time he came to visit Concubine Wan Gui, Li Shan almost guessed it before he came, and said with a wry smile: "Other people don't know, doesn't the third sister know?"

"In the past few months, my little brother has kept the door behind closed doors, living in seclusion, not daring to come in at will, let alone accept guests at will."

Princess Pingyang laughed angrily, pointed outside and scolded: "Do you know what is going on in Liangyi Palace?"

"Do you want your father to summon you?"

Li Shan was a little aggrieved, but he also kept his mouth shut. I’m not lying. After returning to Beijing for a few months, except for the wedding day, he basically didn’t see anyone...Wei Ting, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, etc. Everyone handed over the post, but Li Shan didn't see it.

Wan Xuandao did send two posts hoping to visit him, and one of them was sent by Wang Renbiao, but Li Shan ignored it all the time. Concubine Wan Gui may have some weight in King Qin's mind, but she is a little bit on Li Shan's side. There is no portion.

Li Shan's status comes from his own experience, and Li Yuan's trustworthiness... He is not the prince who seized the heirloom, the effect of Wan Guifei's pillow blowing is almost nothing, and Li Yuan is not the kind of emperor who has soft ears , the attitude towards Li Shimin in the past years was mainly because he felt the threat of the second son to himself and to the East Palace.

As for Li Shimin's attitude towards this matter, Li Shan can't control so much. On the one hand, Concubine Wan Gui doesn't know the relationship between the two. To put it bluntly, it is the confluence of the political level, which is fundamentally different from the relationship between monarch and minister and even the relationship between master and slave in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

However, Princess Pingyang made an appointment today on behalf of Concubine Wan Gui, presumably there is some friendship.

Because Princess Pingyang was not polite at all today, she said amusedly: "Concubine Wan Gui is summoned today to vent her anger on Duke Jiangdu!"

"Pingyang." Concubine Wan Gui gave Princess Pingyang a reproachful look, looked at Li Shan, and said in a gentle tone: "Daosheng knows his mistakes, regrets inexplicably, and wants to apologize in person..."

"Don't dare." Li Shan went to see Princess Pingyang again.

Princess Pingyang was obviously very satisfied with Li Shan's attitude, and said with a smile: "Anyway, Su Dingfang has already returned to Beijing, and the Duke of Jiangdu County will pay homage to him in these two days."

Li Shan blinked. Although he canonized himself as the heir king, it was not enough for a county prince to pay homage to him. The word "Princess Pingyang" was used a bit too much.

Concubine Wan Gui looked at the change of expression on Li Shan's face, and secretly sighed that he was indeed a clever one. She waved her hand to stop Princess Pingyang, and said sincerely: "Father has only one son, who has been raised in the deep palace these years, and is better than women. Hand, although invited great Confucian scholars, but..."

Princess Pingyang patted Concubine Wan Gui's hand, and said: "Concubine Wan Gui intends to make the Duke of Jiangdu County apprentice."

"Appreciate... Appreciate teacher?" Li Shan's mouth was almost crooked, "Remember that Jiangdu County Duke was also crowned last year?"

Take someone who might be older than you as a disciple?
Concubine Wan Gui said sternly: "The ancients said that three people must have my teacher. Do we still have to judge by age?"

"Although Li Huairen was crowned only last year, his reputation is well-established in the country, his poetic talent overwhelms the world, he has shown his prestige on the battlefield, defended the border for the country, defeated the Turks several times, and his reputation reaches as far as Mobei."

After a pause, Concubine Wan Gui stood up and saluted, "Please King Wei Si..."

Princess Pingyang hurriedly got up to stop her, and Li Shan also hurriedly stepped aside, slandering her inwardly, the imperial concubine saluted... This must be forcing me to respond!

"Small things are worth saluting to him?" Princess Pingyang pushed Concubine Wan Gui down, turned her head and scolded: "You don't want to?"

Li Shan was stunned and then bowed, "I would like to teach you everything."

This change came from the look in the eyes of Princess Pingyang. Although he didn't know the reason, Li Shan chose to believe it.
