Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 1144 That Night
When Li Shan came to the back hall of the Cuiwei Palace, he was surprised but not surprised to find that there were many people awake. Concubine Wan Gui was serving Li Yuan and drinking millet porridge, and Yuwen, who was pregnant for half a year, was reprimanding her son Li Yuanjia, the eldest son of Chai Shao. Chai Zhewei threw down his chopsticks, jumped in front of Li Shan, and was about to climb up with his knees in his arms.

That's right, I guess they fell asleep before nightfall, and didn't wake up until this time. Li Shan simply bent down and picked up the child, "Aren't you scared?"

"Uncle..." Chai Zhewei buried his small head on Li Shan's shoulder, and winked at Li Yuanjia, who was about to run over but was grabbed by Yu Wenshi.

"Huairen is just to please them." The haze in Li Yuan's heart faded a little, and he looked at this scene with a smile, "Huairen, Pingyang has said that if her family's boss is not good at writing, he will be good at martial arts, but she will ask you to settle the score. .”

"Why do you have to be both civil and military?" Li Shan stood next to Li Yuan holding Chai Zhewei, and sighed: "Eleven Niang is also pregnant, and my nephew is looking forward to it... I only hope that my son will be foolish and ruthless, and there will be no disasters or difficulties." To Gongqing."

Li Yuan frowned, "You have only been crowned for two years, why are you so depressed?"

Concubine Wan Gui put down the bowl and chopsticks, and glanced at the Wei Siwang, which was to show her heart.

Li Huairen became famous in the four years of Wude, but in the past four or five years, he has made numerous military achievements, overwhelmed Chang'an with poems and essays, and defeated the Turks several times. If it's not of non-royal blood, it's just another King Qin.

Li Yuan lost interest, as if he didn't have much energy, "If it's stupid and reckless, I'm afraid Pingyang won't like it."

Princess Pingyang mentioned it more than once or twice, and even talked about it with Zhu Shi and Cui Shiniang. In the future, I will see if there is a marriage between her daughter who has been canonized as the princess and Cui Shiniang.

Li Shan was perfunctory, guessing the reason why Li Yuan summoned late at night. Now that the turbulent emotions have calmed down, and people have gradually regained their composure, some things need to be made some choices, and some things need to be investigated clearly.

In fact, among that group of people, Li Yuan was not the first to wake up. Ling Jing woke up very early, and found an excuse to tell Li Shan the events of these three days from beginning to end, which solved the tension in Li Shan's heart. A lot of doubts.

For example, before Li Shan couldn't figure out why Feng Lun wanted to bring Du Yan into this, it was completely unnecessary... Du Fengju's complaint actually didn't make much sense.

Moreover, Feng Lun also paid a considerable price, stealing and selling grain from Yijun's warehouse, and risked being noticed by himself, Secretary of Agriculture...

Now Li Shan understands that Feng Lun is using Du Yan as a wall to keep out the wind. It is very likely that Du Yan was not dragged into the water, and he doesn't even know what happened. The state raises soldiers.

Once someone reports a report, or the court finds that Yijun's warehouse has disappeared, then Du Yan will be responsible for the blame... Li Shan pondered in his heart, it seems that this is not in the interests of King Qi, but considering Tiantai Mountain Before the First World War, King Qi was attached to the position of the Eastern Palace, and this possibility was very high.

Many emergencies have their own context, but there are also many emergencies that have their own particularity. Li Shan was confiding with Ling Jing at the time, while thinking that Li Yuanji, king of Qi, might not have thought that Yu Wenbao would be killed. He was captured alive, and Yu Wenying was unexpectedly captured alive.

Not long after, Li Yuan got up slowly, walked out of the Cuiwei Hall, stopped on an open grass field, looked up at the bright moon for a long time, and after a while, said in a low voice: "Huai Ren already knows how many days have passed?"

"Yes." Li Shan said affirmatively, "I asked Hou Hongtao and Huo Guogong first, and then I asked Ling Gong, Jiang Guogong and Guan Guogong."

"How does Huairen view this matter?"

Li Shan hesitated, and said after a while, "Your Majesty, this matter is a little strange."

"It's really weird." Li Yuan nodded in agreement, "Is it the prince or the king of Qi, or is the prince and king of Qi working together?"

"It's hard to tell if it's true or not." Li Shan analyzed, "If you want to intercept the messenger and cut off Jingzhao and Fangzhou, it's actually more convenient for the prince, why is it Yuwenbao?"

"Yu Wenying is one of Prince Qi's sect, and His Majesty dispatched him to Yijun County to summon Yang Wenqian...Then, did Yang Wengan plan to launch an army to rebel, or was it just a whim?"

"At least today, there is no change in Chang'an. If it is the crown prince... he has already ordered Yang Wengan to plot against him, how could he not move at all?"

After a pause, Li Shan added: "I don't care about Qiaogong Mountain, but Du Fengju was sent by Du Zhili."

Li Shan has nothing to do, he has to involve Du Yan, because Li Yuanji may not be able to involve Feng Lun, anyway, Du Yan is also on the bright side.

Li Yuan nodded silently. Anyway, Du Yan is an official of Tiance Mansion, which made him trust the second son now, but he can't help guessing that Li Shimin had intervened in this matter.

"But why didn't Du Yan pass Du Ruhui?"

"This minister knows about it." Li Shan explained with a smile: "Du Keming's eldest brother died at the hands of Du Yan in Luoyang, so he is an uncle and nephew in name, but in fact there is a gap."

After a pause, Li Shan added: "Many years ago Du Yan took Yuhuchun away, and I sent a letter to Du Ruhui..."

"Ok?"

"It is said that uncle and nephew almost fought violently that day." Li Shan thought for a while, then said in a low voice: "Actually, in the current situation, King Qin ordered someone to sue the prince for treason... It is really unnecessary."

"And after suing the crown prince, Yang Wengan really raised his troops..."

With Li Shan's description bit by bit, Li Yuan's heart became more and more confused, and he couldn't figure out a clue. , it should be because of Yijuncang, Huairen didn't notice it?"

"Your Majesty is guilty of dereliction of duty." Li Shan directly admitted that Yijuncang was under the jurisdiction of Sinong Temple, and he was also Sinong Qing anyway.

"What does it have to do with you?" Li Yuan smiled, waved his hands and said, "The memorials of Yushitai's impeachment of your laziness are all piled up under the door."

Li Yuan knew very well that Li Shan had chosen the position of Secretary of Agriculture for the purpose of promoting cotton, and had basically never been in charge of other affairs except cotton. Since March and April last year, there was a battle in Tiantai Mountain first, and then he led the army. During the expedition, after returning to Beijing, he didn't enter the gate of Sinong Temple very much.

"The other Sinong Shaoqing is Zhao..."

"Zhao Yuankai." Li Shan stroked the short beard on his chin thoughtfully, "I remember an old thing..."

"Ok?"

Li Shan pursed his lips, poked out his tongue slightly, as if recalling, and then whispered after a while: "Zhao Yuankai... seems to have some contacts with King Qi."

"what?"

"But it's not necessarily true. After all, Zhao Yuankai was born in the Zhao family in Tianshui, and his father was a famous minister in the former Sui Dynasty, and he had many friends."

"Speak clearly." Li Yuan's face became more and more gloomy.
