Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Li Yuan, who was leaning on the couch, thought for a while and said with a smile: "During my reign, Huairen will have little use, but Erlang will still be able to use him in the future."

"Erlang was originally a famous general. Now in the world, in terms of military exploits, only Erlang can defeat Huairen."

After a moment, Li Yuan nodded, "Jie Erlang has the capacity."

Li Yuan was obviously referring to the military strategy mentioned in Concubine Wan Gui's words just now and was not allowed to be learned.

It is said that Li Huairen, the heir to the Wei Dynasty, learned mixed things, but as Li Shan himself admitted, classics and history were not his strong point. In this regard, he could not compare with the great Confucian scholars, and he could not teach poetry. In Li Shan's own words, he could Tianzhi, calligraphy and painting skills are not good, Li Shan has indeed shown no ability in these two aspects, and his calligraphy is quite bad.

What made Li Shan famous in the world was mainly his poems and essays given by heaven and his military planning on the battlefield, but Li Shan was not prepared to teach Wan Xuandao either of these things... Li Yuan thought to himself that Huairen was too cautious.

Concubine Wan Gui gently advised: "Your Majesty will reign for a few more decades. When King Wei Si is older, even if it is difficult to lead troops into battle, he can still hold important positions in the court and become the pillar of the country."

Li Yuan had no reaction, and after a moment he sighed: "If he were the prince..."

Seeing the strange look on the face of Concubine Wan Gui next to him, Li Yuan quickly argued: "It's really not true. If it were the prince, I wouldn't dare to use it. The big man and the two men are already incompatible with each other..."

"Besides, you were crowned last year. Calculate your age. You had just started at that time."

Concubine Wan Gui pursed her lips. In fact, rumors about Li Shan being the prince are still circulating in Chang'an, and they are quite popular. Although anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is groundless, who doesn't love gossip?

What's more, His Majesty's attitude is there, and Li Shan's ancestral home happens to be Chengji, Longxi... What a coincidence!

Some people even lamented, no wonder the Li family conquered the world...First there was King Qin, then Li Xiaogong, then Li Huairen, and then there were Li Daoxuan and Li Daozong. Famous generals emerged in large numbers!

However, Concubine Wan Gui knew that it could not be true. If it were true, then King Qin's attitude towards Li Huairen would not be what it is now.

Thinking of this, Concubine Wan Guifei asked softly: "The Si King of Wei has mixed knowledge, but his knowledge and appearance are all first-rate. His Majesty once praised him as the best in the world. With such a talent for both civil and military affairs, I don't know where he comes from?"

"I've also asked, but Huairen himself doesn't know much about it. He is a posthumous son. His father died before he was born, and he was raised by his widowed mother."

Uh, this... Li Shan replied like this when Li Yuan asked him in private. If Li Dewu knew about it, he would probably vomit blood.

Originally, I died on my own, but now I'm fine. I've been dead for more than 20 years, right? !

Li Yuan sighed: "There are many Li families in Longxi scattered all over the world." Although Li Shan never claimed to be the Li family in Longxi, most people, including Li Yuan, believed that Li Shan was probably a descendant of the Li family in Longxi. A side branch, but this side branch is relatively biased. After all, his ancestral home is Chengji County. If he says he has nothing to do with the Li family in Longxi, who would believe it?
"The concubine of the Wei family is the Zhu family..." Concubine Wan Gui is from the south of the Yangtze River. She thought for a while, "Among the famous families in the south of the Yangtze River, there is only the Zhu family in Wu County. Madam Zhu has a strong and decisive temperament, but she does not have the style of the south of the Yangtze River."

"The Zhu family of Wu County?" Li Yuan sneered. He had no good impression of the famous families in Jiangnan.

After the Sui Dynasty destroyed the Chen Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty pacified the Lingnan Jianghuai River, the world was unified for the second time. In addition, the threat of the Turks to China for hundreds of years directly caused a large amount of the country's resources to be tilted to the north, and also caused the country's political and economic center to be in the north. , so the aristocratic families in Jiangnan are at their weakest in hundreds of years.

Slightly better cases include the Pei family returning to Wenxi and the Liu family returning to Jie County. There are many similar situations. Wang Gui, the first staff member of the East Palace, is also from Jiangnan, but after Nanchen was destroyed, he returned to Taiyuan Qi. The county Wang family.

But those prominent families that have been rooted in Jiangnan for hundreds of years are having a harder time. The better ones are the Xiao family in Lanling. Now Xiao Yu is supporting the facade, but the Gu family, Lu family, Zhu family, and Langya family in Wu County The Wang family, Chenjun Xie family, and Yuan family have all lost their glory.

"However, Duke Jiang Guo mentioned that Huairen may be related to Li Delin, the former Duke of Anping in the Sui Dynasty." Li Yuan thought about it, "Li Delin came from the Boling Li family, which moved from Longxi in the early years."

Well, we can't blame Li Yuan for not suspecting Li Dewu. After all, Shen Guogong's lineage was almost killed back then. Of course, the most important thing was Li Shimin's secret guidance.

During the Battle of Jingzhou and later when he was stationed at Baiquan, Li Shan summoned a person several times and praised him a lot. He even recommended him to the local government, but he did not get permission from the Ministry of Personnel.

This person was Li Baiyao, the son of Li Delin. Li Shanggang just happened to know that this person compiled the "History of the Northern Qi" in his previous life, and he had a relationship with Kan Ling, so he summoned him. After listening to his story about his life, he was very interested, so he summoned him. He followed the army to take care of documents.

Li Baiyao was a notoriously unlucky man. In his early years, he was favored by famous ministers Yang Su and Niu Hong. Well, it was Yang Su who was a famous advertiser. However, Li Baiyao soon entered the East Palace and became the The confidant of Prince Yang Yong.

After Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty ascended the throne, Li Baiyao was driven to Guizhou, which was later known as Guilin. However, when he arrived in Guizhou, the establishment of Guizhou was gone, so he could only return to his hometown in despair.

It was not until many years later that Li Baiyao was able to recover, but on his way to be appointed as the county magistrate of Jian'an, Yu Wenhuaji killed Emperor Yang of Sui in Jiangdu, and the Sui Dynasty was destroyed... At that time, Li Baiyao had not yet arrived in Jian'an, which is The Jianou area of ​​​​Fujian in later generations.

What was even more unlucky was that Li Baiyao was captured by Shen Faxing and forced to join the rebel army. However, Shen Faxing was defeated by Li Zitong soon and threw himself into the river. Li Baiyao was forced to join Li Zitong. After another six months, Li Zitong was captured by Du Fuwei. The prisoners were sent to Chang'an, and this time Li Baiyao was forced to serve Du Fuwei.

When Du Fuwei surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and went north to Chang'an, Li Baiyao thought that he would not be able to succeed. As a result, Fu Gong'er raised an army and Li Baiyao was forced to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. When Fu Gong'e was defeated, someone reported to Li Yuan that "Li Baiyao and Fu Gong were "Gong'er agreed with him and rebelled against him." As a result, although Li Baiyao saved his life, he was exiled to Jingzhou.

When Li Shan listened to Li Baiyao's resume, he couldn't help but burst into tears. It was so miserable!
After falling into Xiaoguan on a snowy night, Li Shan chose to return to Beijing. He mentioned this matter in a chat with Ling Jing. Fang Xuanling and Li Shimin chose to play along with the situation... and then came what Chen Shuda said.

After all, the ability shown by Li Shan cannot come from a small family, and the identity of Shen Guogong cannot be revealed in a short time, and may not even be revealed to the world in this life, so he simply uses this to stop others. .
