Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

After Li Shan finished the old story in detail, Li Yuan thought over and over in his heart, but he kept saying: "Assuming the new position of chief officer, controlling the deputy, who taught Huairen such things?"

Li Shan chuckled and said, "It's my father-in-law... My father-in-law mentioned that although Zhao Yuankai also married a daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe, his reputation is not very good."

"Well, if it wasn't for his father Shi Maogong, Zhao Yuankai..." Li Yuan shook his head, "Who did he look for?"

"A lot of people." Li Shan recalled: "At first I found Yuezhang, and later Zhang Wenguan from the Qinghe Zhang family, and Xue Wanshu from the East Palace's Prince Zhaishi. Finally, I invited the secretary of the Qi Palace to join the army. Rong Jiusi, I just gave up. .”

"Are you old with Rong Jiusi?"

"In the early years, the minister was appreciated by Li Qianyou from Chang'an, and he took care of the accounts in the Chang'an county government. He got acquainted with Rong Jiusi because of arithmetic." Li Shan said: "The promotion of abacus in Chang'an is thanks to the power of Rong Jiusi. .”

"Xue Wanshu?"

"It's Xue Wanche's elder brother."

Li Yuan nodded understandingly, Zhao Yuankai went to Xue Wanshu not to borrow the power of the East Palace, but because Xue Wanche, who had defeated the Turks side by side with Li Shan just now, not to mention the fact that Xue Wanche, Zhang Shigui, and Li Huairen married Jinlan was well known in the court .

It is really possible that Zhao Yuankai is a member of Sanhu... Li Yuan speculates carefully in his heart, Li Shan's analysis bit by bit is like a strong wind, blowing away the fog that pervades his surroundings. A rough outline can be seen.

In order to deal with Erlang, the crown prince placed Yang Wenqian in Fangzhou, through Sinonong Shaoqing Zhao Yuankai, and later another Sinonong Shaoqing Yu Wenying used the Yijun warehouse to raise soldiers in Fangzhou... and Zhao Yuankai and Yu Wenying were Qi Wang's disciples .

In other words, this matter was done jointly by the prince and King Qi.

But this time Yang Wenqian raised his troops to conspire against him. It is hard to say who is behind the scenes.

At this time, someone came from the foot of the hillside, "Meet Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, it's Fan Shiyi, the minister's personal guard."

"Oh, I remember that Huairen used him as a scout in every battle when he was named the county marquis." Li Yuan nodded, waved and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty." Fan Shiyi walked up the hillside quickly, bowed his head and said, "I have ordered you to go to the mountain path with the Duke Junhao of Leshou County and Duan Zhixuan, Duke of Guzang County. .”

The corner of Li Yuan's mouth twitched, and he turned his head to look at Li Shan, who shook his head slightly and asked, "Whose order?"

"Zhongshu ordered Guan Guogong and his subordinates to discuss the matter with Du Keming and Yi Guogong Qin Qiong, because His Majesty and His Royal Highness King Qin are still in bed..."

"Yang Qing is thoughtful." Li Yuan nodded. In fact, he had thought of it last night. If it was the crown prince, this mountain road might be his way of life. There are ambushes.

Li Yuan couldn't help feeling dejected, Yang Wenqian raised his troops to plot rebellion, whether the crown prince is the mastermind is still not completely sure, but Shiro Li Yuanji's treason is almost certain.

"Caught alive... can you recognize it?"

Around Li Shan, Fan Shiyi was the one who knew the most secrets. Too many secrets were handled through him.

"It has been identified, six of them are the guards of Prince Qi's Mansion." Fan Shiyi said in a low voice, "The other four are soldiers of the Bei Ya Imperial Army."

"Forbidden Army?" Li Shan was a little surprised, "Which one is it?"

The Beiya Imperial Army is divided into four branches, the Qianniu Guards on the left and right, and the Guards on the left and right gates, and each of them has two generals... The general is often a vacant post, because there is Chai Shao who controls the Imperial Army above him. The actual commander.

Before Fan Shiyi could speak, Li Yuan said coldly, "It must be Zuo Qianniuwei!"

"Yes."

"Zuo Qianniuwei...Zhang Cong, Marquis of Nan'an County, and Yu Wenxin, Marquis of Shangluo County." Li Shan blinked, "I saw the Marquis of Nan'an County, and was wounded three times, and I went to bandage them, Marquis of Shangluo County..."

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes and stared at a dark valley, and said after a while, "Yu Wenxin sent troops with Sanhu to quell the chaos, and he hasn't returned yet."

Yu Wenxin was an official of King Qi in his early years. Although he later participated in the Battle of Hulao in Luoyang under the command of King Qin, and even in the crucial battle where the Xia army was dispersed through the formation, Yu Wenxin followed Li Shimin and fought with Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, Li Daoxuan, Qin Qiong, Shi Danai and other generals who stood shoulder to shoulder with the direct line of King Qin.

But after Wude returned to Chang'an in four years, Yu Wenxin was still regarded as the lineage of King Qi, and served as General Zuoqianniuwei for a long time... Not every general under Li Shimin's command is Li Shimin's, which is also normal. Shi Wanbao also made great contributions in the battle of Hulaoguan, but he has not yet become the direct descendant of Prince Li Jiancheng.

Li Yuan fell into a long silence, and Li Shan suddenly felt a little funny when he was bored... Although the masterminds were King Qi and Feng Lun, but the three people who lost the chain at the critical moment, or showed their flaws, Yu Wenxin, Yu Wenying, Yu Wenbao, All of them have the surname Yuwen.

The surname Yuwen came from the Xiongnu, and it was called Yuwen in the later Sinicization... It is said that it was called Poyetou in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

A generation of heroes Yu Wentai laid the foundation, and later generations established the Northern Zhou Dynasty, conquered the Northern Qi Dynasty, and unified the north of the Yellow River. Although the Sui Dynasty was the Zhou Dynasty, many members of the Yuwen family still held high positions in the Sui Dynasty, such as famous ministers Yu Wenshu, Yu Wenkai, Yu Wenxin, Yu Wenshen, and Yu Wenhuaji, the mastermind who destroyed the Sui Dynasty.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there were also many court officials with the surname Yuwen. Not to mention others, there was only one Yuwen scholar who had a close relationship with Li Shan, and Li Yuan's harem had Yuwen.

Li Shan was thinking in a mess in his heart, and he didn't know if Yuwenxin, Yuwenbao, and Yuwenying were of the same family... Yuwen's surname is quite complicated, either Yuwen is a member of the clan.

If it was from the same clan, maybe Li Yuan would go on a killing spree... He couldn't do anything to those aristocratic families, and he didn't want to do anything to the descendants of Guan Long's lineage. Could it be that he couldn't kill Yuwen?
At this time, Li Yuan suddenly said, "Huiren, how is King Zhao's injury?"

"There are many wounds, and you need to cultivate." Li Shan gave a flawless reply, after all, Li Xiaogong was once accused of treason because he held a heavy soldier.

But Li Yuan obviously had a change of heart. After all, he had witnessed Li Xiaogong fight hard in this battle, and he also obeyed the order of the King of Qin...Of course, this is related to the sudden change in the situation of seizing the heir apparent since the Tiantai Mountain battle last year.

After a while, Li Yuan made up his mind, "Dismiss Luo Yi, the right prison guard, and make up for him with King Zhao."

Luo Yi is the crown prince's loyal supporter, Yang Wenqian has already raised his troops to rebel this time, Li Yuan naturally will not let Luo Yi stay in the Beiya Imperial Army.

But there are not many candidates who are qualified to replace Luo Yi, Li Shan himself is one, and there are so many generals in Tiance Mansion, why Li Xiaogong?
Li Shan vaguely guessed the reason.

Sure enough, Li Yuan continued: "Dismiss Zongzhengqing, king of Zhao County, and Huairen will be transferred from Si Nongqing to Zongzhengqing."

Turning his head, Li Yuan stared into Li Shan's eyes, "Hui Ren is in charge of this matter, we need to investigate thoroughly!"

Li Shan's expression turned positive, and he bowed down, thinking that he was still thinking about how to intervene, but he didn't expect that it would take no effort at all!
