Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

On the east side of Chengtianmen Street in the imperial city, in the province under the gate, Pei Shiju, who had just heard a piece of news, was experiencing a feeling of indignation or jealousy.

Pei Shiju never had a concubine in his life, and was only loyal to his first wife. He had three sons and a daughter, but the second and third sons died young, and only Pei Xuanji and Pei Shuying grew up.

Moreover, Pei Shiju is 80 years old this year, while Pei Xuanji, who died last year, was only 38 years old, and Pei Shuying is 36 years old this year.

And Li Shan had only been married for three or four months, and his wife was pregnant... This made Pei Shiju feel very uncomfortable, although he himself knew that this emotion was a little unreasonable.

"Father and son after all." Pei Shiju murmured in a low voice, "A son is not like his father, but there is one similarity."

Uh, Pei Shiju always feels that Li Dewu is not worthy of a son like Li Huairen, the difference is too far away, whether it is literary talent, martial arts, scheming, means, or even dealing with people and style, Li Dewu is completely behind in all aspects, and he is still behind Not a little.

Now it seems that the father and son are a bit similar in this aspect. According to the next year, Li Dewu went to Lingnan to marry his wife Zhu, and soon gave birth to Li Shan. After abandoning his wife and son, he reunited with Pei Shuying, and also soon A son was born.

"Pei Gong." Tang Jian, the servant of the Huangmen, came in holding the memorial.
Please call back. "

"The time limit has not yet expired, please send it to the Palace of Renzhi, Your Majesty." Pei Shiju said calmly.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the tenure of local officials was generally three to four years according to their grades. Of course, in areas where wars were imminent, the tenure of tenure was not certain.

Daizhou Sima is from the fourth rank, and Er Zhu Yichen took office in the first month of the eighth year of Wude. Logically, his term should expire at the end of this year and early next year... Please transfer back to the court now, this is not normal.

Tang Jian, who is also the governor of Qin Wangfu, spied on Pei Shiju's face but couldn't see anything. He could only nod with a smile, "Speaking of which, Er Zhu Yichen fought in Nao County back then and tried to prevent Ashina Sheer from going north to Yanmen Pass. Appreciate."

The corners of Pei Shiju's mouth twitched, "If it weren't for this, Yanmen Gate would not be able to be guarded, and Guji Town would be destroyed, and there would be no such feat as the successor king of Wei's three defeats of the Turks."

"Yes, among all the battles His Royal Highness Wei Siwang has experienced, this battle is the most dangerous. It is said that Li Huairen is still good at shooting in the grassland." Tang Jian said with a smile: "By the way, Wei Siwang has a new work. Have you heard it?"

Pei Shiju really didn't want to hear the name, "Is it another famous story?"

"Although there are only two incomplete poems, they should be passed down to later generations as allusions." Tang Jian laughed and said, "Being ruthless may not be a real hero, how can you be a pity for your wife and not a husband!"

Pei Shiju was stunned, the wrinkles on his face seemed to be a little deeper, "Li Huairen has returned to Beijing?"

"Yeah, it's been a few days." Tang Jian said, "Hearing that his wife is pregnant, Wei Siwang set off from Renzhi Palace, rushed home all night, and accompanied him day and night. It can be said that he raised his eyebrows."

Pei Shiju forced a smile, and sent Tang Jian away with a few compliments, then ordered the door to be closed, and fell into a long thought.

The news of the pregnancy has already spread in Chang'an, it's hard to fake it, but rushing back to Zhuangzi overnight... Pei Shiju shook his head slightly, this is not Li Huairen's style.

One of the reasons why Pei Shiju advised Li Jiancheng to stay calm in the past few months was that he realized that there might be unforeseen changes in Li Yuan's summer vacation at the Palace of Renzhi.

Before, he thought that this kind of change might have something to do with the East Palace, because Fangzhou Inspector Yang Wenqian, but this possibility was quickly ruled out by Pei Shiju...because he had made indirect remarks, Prince Li Jiancheng had no idea about this at all.

Later, Pei Shiju speculated that it might have something to do with Li Shan, or the King of Qin, because Feng Lun, who also served as the Sima of Tiance Mansion, refused to transfer Yang Wengan, but now it seems that Li Shan rushed back to Beijing, at least it should have no direct relationship with him.

Pei Shiju wondered in his heart, perhaps Li Huairen had discovered something that made him choose to leave the Palace of Renzhi... Then who would do it?

Who will be the target?

If it was a rebellion, no matter who it was, the first target would definitely not be Li Yuan, but Li Shimin, and why did Li Shan leave Renzhi Palace at this time?
Is it Zhaojun Wang Li Xiaogong?

Is it Li Yuan, King of Lujiang County?
Pei Shiju still couldn't figure out a clue. It can't be blamed that these famous courtiers didn't suspect King Qi. After all, Li Shan is a time traveler, and he can clearly judge Li Yuanji's intention to seize the heir apparent through the Xuanwu Gate incident in history. Otherwise, he would not have been killed together with Li Jiancheng, and he would have been exterminated.

Moreover, Li Yuanji has been in the court and on the battlefield for these years, but he really can't make any outstanding achievements. He even lost Taiyuan back then. Those who did not enter the water erased Li Yuanji from the list of candidates to inherit the throne.

Pei Shiju simply got up and went home. Anyway, during this period of time...there was no so-called political affairs hall in the early Tang Dynasty. Send it to Menxia Province, but during this period, any memorials that are a little bit sensitive are sent to the Palace of Renzhi.

After returning home, Pei Shiju went straight to his daughter's yard.

Pei Shuying was sitting by the window in a daze, and the almost five-year-old child was sleeping on the couch not far away. This poor child...has never tasted mother's love since he was sensible. As for father's love, Li Dewu wanted to give it to him, but unfortunately no chance.

In this respect, Li Shan is much luckier than his half-brother. He doesn't have fatherly love, but at least he has maternal love.

"Father."

"Li Huairen has returned to Beijing." Pei Shiju thought about his words, "You write a post for Mrs. Zhu."

Pei Shuying blinked her eyes, "Is something wrong?"

"I don't know." Pei Shiju hesitated before saying, "There may be an incident in Renzhi Palace."

"That……"

"This matter has nothing to do with the East Palace..." Pei Shiju said softly, "You post the post first and see if he is willing to come."

Asking Pei Shuying to post a post to Mrs. Zhu is actually inviting Li Shan to visit.

Pei Shuying responded, and asked in a low voice: "If Your Majesty, King Qin is in Renzhi Palace..."

"Then what is Li Huairen doing back in Beijing?" Pei Shiju sneered, "This son is good at planning and will never do stupid things."

After a pause, Pei Shiju added: "If the Crown Prince ascends the throne, at least his mother will survive. If His Majesty, the King of Qin, and the Crown Prince are not around, Li Huairen's whole family may die."

In this regard, Pei Shiju, who has been in the officialdom for decades and witnessed and even participated in the change of seizing the throne in the former Sui Dynasty, naturally sees it clearly.
