Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 12 Upset
Standing on the top of the mountain, Li Shan looked at the army marching along the Jing River with amazed eyes. This is a magnificent scene that no film and television works can describe.

Although the distance is a little far away, the snow has just stopped so that the ground is muddy and smoke-free, but the galloping army horses, the long horns sounding from time to time, the endless line of troops, and the boats accompanying the army on the Jinghe River are all there. It gave Li Shan an extreme shock.

Zhu Wei took two steps forward, "Da Lang guessed right, it is indeed King Qin."

"That day in Pingkang Square, I heard that the Tang army was defeated in Hebei, and someone shouted that the saint should make the King of Qin attack..." Li Shan said, "I heard that the King of Qin is invincible in all battles, Uncle Qi, is it true?"

These days, Li Shan and Zhu Wei often chat about the court situation. Li Shan deliberately did it because he accidentally fell into the whirlpool. The unclear Wude period, on the other hand, is because Zhu Wei and Zhu's obviously have something to hide.

Zhu Wei also did it deliberately. He knew that although this young man was abandoned by his biological father, he would never remain unknown in the future and would definitely enter an official career.

"That's true." Zhu Wei snorted, the old man obviously didn't like Li Shimin very much.

Li Shan watched Zhu Wei's expression, and said with a smile, "Let's not talk about the East Palace, even a sage can't hold back."

A few days ago, Li Shan had been in Zhujiagou and Dongshan Temple, but he also heard that the Tang army lost ground in Hebei, and Beijing was shaken.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, news came from Hebei that Liu Heita had entered the "King of the Eastern Han Dynasty" with the reign title "Tianzao" and set his capital in Mingzhou.

It's gone, except for Li Shimin and Tiance Mansion, as well as Li Xiaogong and Li Jing who are still in the south of the Yangtze River, the other generals of the military were basically defeated by Liu Heitai. Brother Xue Wanche was cut off and sent back.

Under such circumstances, Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng had no choice but to release Li Shimin, the fierce tiger, from the guard.

"The sage and the king of Qin led the twelve generals of the left and right guards, and the Tiance Mansion attacked Liu Heita." Zhu Wei said softly, "If you come back victorious..."

"The title of Admiral Tiance is not enough, the sage has to think of another title..." Li Shan said with a smile, "However, this is none of our business, right?"

Zhu Wei was stunned for a moment before laughing loudly, "That's natural, by the way, Dongshan Temple has received Buddhist ritual money and incense money these days, and they are about to send them to..."

"Didn't we agree on Qisan?" Li Shan followed these words to change the topic, the secret behind Zhu Wei is not important now.

No matter in the future, at least for now, I have nothing to do with those bad things, and there must be a limit to reading gossip,

"Everyone in the village is unwilling to take it, and some clan elders complained that I am too greedy." Zhu Wei sighed: "You mother and son first built a house and bought dozens of acres of fertile land..."

The two went down the mountain while chatting. Along the way, many villagers saluted Li Shan respectfully and greeted him affectionately. The disgusted look of a month ago had long since disappeared.

The deal between Li Shan and Xuanzang has already been completed. As the first temple to be inspected, Dongshan Temple escaped unscathed. Not only has it not been abolished, but it has also become famous for its authentic scriptures. At the end of the year, many dignitaries and dignitaries came to the temple to seek scriptures in person. ... For this reason, Li Shan was still copying scriptures on the night of New Year's Eve, and his hands were almost broken.

Those high-ranking officials who come to pray for scriptures naturally want to give some incense money and Buddha money... Li Shan is a black-hearted person, Gewurztraminer does not set a price, if he gives Buddha money, he will give a few bowls out, and there is only [-] yuan a day at most. bowl.

The most important thing is that Zhu Wei heard the news the day before yesterday that King Qin was accompanied by [-] government soldiers led by King Lingxu of Chang'an, and half of these government soldiers were recruited because of the abolition of the temple.

Now the news of the Tang army's defeat in Hebei is spreading, and Guanzhong is shocked three times a day. Except for some young and strong villagers, most of the villagers are unwilling to go to the Hebei battlefield.

You know, the Tang Dynasty today is not the Tang Dynasty that overwhelmed the world and overwhelmed the world. How could Li Shan, who saved the villagers from this catastrophe, not be loved by the villagers.

"Stone, come here." Li Shan pulled a seven or eight-year-old boy, who stabbed Li Shan with a stick that day, "How is your father today?"

"Bang, bang, bang." Xiao Shitou knelt on the ground and rang his head three more times, "Daddy can get up already."

"This kid is too honest." Li Shan said with a smile: "Get some meat porridge to nourish your health. I'll go and see it tomorrow."

"I heard that after Wangri, Mr. Lang is going to build a new house, so let's say hello in advance." The young man beside him said loudly.

"You are busy!" Zhu Wei responded, and turned around to explain to Li Shan: "This is Liu Lang, and the houses in the village are all built by him."

"When the time comes, I must bother Brother Six." Li Shan tuantuan handed over his hands. There was no construction team in this era. If you want to build a house, you must first find someone who knows how to do it, and second, you must be popular and the villagers are willing to help.

After returning home, he went to the brazier to warm up the fire. Seeing his mother sewing new clothes, Li Shan said casually, "Mom, let's sew one for Shi Qi."

The little monk who was drinking tofu nao raised his face and smiled. Both his parents died since he was a child, and he had to be sent to a temple to survive. However, he has become Li Shan's follower for more than a month.

"It's up to you!" Mrs. Zhu snorted impatiently, "It's a pity that I couldn't catch up with this expedition to Hebei..."

"What did mother say?"

"If Da Lang can go to Hebei this time, maybe he will become an official here, the most important military service in the early years of the founding of the country." Zhu said regretfully: "It's a pity, but it's hard to say, after all, you haven't stayed behind yet."

"After the new year, you are already seventeen. Although you are not yet a child, you have not married a wife... Well, after you become an official, you can take a concubine first, or buy two maids to serve you..."

Li Shan was so blocked that he had nothing to say. A few days ago, he was thinking about whether he could pick up goods, after all, concubines and sex.

As a result, Mrs. Zhu just reprimanded her head and face... The specific description Li Shan didn't want to recall it anymore, but only remembered that her mother's standard was that her buttocks were good for giving birth.

After being stunned for a while, Li Shancai changed the subject and asked tentatively, "Mother, how does the child become an official?"

This is where Li Shan is puzzled. It seems that his mother and Zhu Wei are very sure that he will be able to become an official.

But in this era, although the nine-rank Zhongzheng system was completely abolished after the toss of the great dictator Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, the main way for officials to become official is still the recommendation of the superiors and the family shadow.

Li Shan has also thought about it these days. Unless his mother has an old relationship by marriage, the most likely way for him is the imperial examination, but Li Tang has been in the country for four years, and he has not yet taken the imperial examination...won't it wait until the Zhenguan period?

Zhu's hand kept moving, and he only ordered: "Just wait, wait until you get it."

Although his reputation in the village has been completely wiped out, and although the patriarch Zhu Wei attaches great importance to his opinions, at home, the Zhu family still regards Li Shan as an ignorant child, and believes that there are other reasons for Dongshan Temple's survival.

Li Shan was speechless. These days he made indirect remarks many times, but Zhu Wei and his mother always avoided talking about it, guessing there was something taboo.

Please, I'm a time traveler... Li Shan is a little upset, if it's an unknown little person, it's fine, if Yang Wengan is behind Zhujiagou and his mother, I really don't have tears to cry at that time!
Annoyed, Li Shan turned his head and looked around, saw the tofu nao that the young monk was drinking, and scolded: "Seventeen, who taught you that there is sucrose in Gewurztraminer!"
