Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Wugong County.

After all, it was already night, and Li Shan had rushed back to Chang'an from Xinping in Binzhou for more than a hundred miles. Li Shan was too lazy to travel overnight, so he simply returned the same way and settled in Wugong County, staying at Suzhai.

After eating the meal, Li Shan casually chatted with Su Dan. This was Su Xu's younger brother who had not yet become an official.

Among the many counselors in Tiance Mansion, Su Xu is almost the youngest, but he is highly qualified, knowledgeable and has a good reputation. He is ranked as one of the eighteen bachelors. During this war, Su Xu served as Li Shan's staff and military counselor. He has many merits in making suggestions and has a good relationship with Li Shan...but his younger brother Su Dan is much mediocre.

Li Shan could barely chat with Su Dan, but Ma Zhou beside him was already yawning.

"Is this your daughter-in-law?" Li Shan glanced at a girl appearing outside the door. Although she was small and had a dignified manner, her dark eyes were spinning in her eye sockets, making her look quite smart.

Su Dan smiled and nodded. This is his eldest daughter, only three years old this year.

The girl ignored the greetings from the maid not far behind her and walked straight into the room, leaning against Su Dan and looking at Li Shan.

Ma Zhou clicked his tongue and said, "It's quite extraordinary."

In his early years, Li Shan was gentle and elegant, and he was gentle on weekdays. However, during the Fang Li War, although there was no bloody battle, his murderous aura persisted. Just now, Su Dan was a little trembling in his words and deeds, which is why Ma Zhou looked down upon him.

The little girl is much stronger than her father.

Li Shan became interested and waved. The girl hesitated for a while and walked over in small steps. Li Shan picked her up and made a threatening expression. Unexpectedly, her beard was caught.

Su Dan was about to scold him, but Li Shan didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "If we make tiles next year, we can play together."

Ma Zhou squinted and said, "It seems that Your Majesty gave your eldest daughter the title of county head?"

Li Shan heard his father-in-law mention it on the day he left the capital. He smiled and nodded. Ma Zhou sneered and muttered a few words.

Su Dan over there smiled and asked: "The eldest brother mentioned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince praised Brother Wang Bin for his talent."

"Brother Bin Wang is a close friend. Although he is a drunkard, he has outstanding literary talent and outstanding talents." Li Shan said seriously: "Although he is a minor official now, he will be a capable minister in the future."

Ma Zhou finally heard something about it at this time and scratched his cheek. He was also in his twenties this year.

After chatting for a while, Su Dan said goodbye and left. Li Shan glanced at Ma Zhou and said, "There is a daughter in the Su family. She was unable to leave the court because she was the grandfather and her father kept filial piety. After getting engaged in the early years, her fiancée died of illness."

Ma Zhou moved his butt unnaturally, "Be cautious..."

"Well, he is an accurate one." Li Shan thought for a while and whispered: "The Xuanwumen Incident happened that day, and Su Xu led his army to Chang'an in the early morning of the next day. There should be some speculation."

"Maybe I asked His Highness the Crown Prince secretly." Ma Zhou nodded, "I know someone..."

"Uncle Ling is old after all. Brother Dingfang, Zhang Zhongjian, Qu Hong, and Hou Hongtao are all in the army, so I can't get involved." Li Shan sighed: "It's hard to say this, but when the prince becomes the great treasure, he will definitely use him ,Do not worry."

Marriage is always the most important means for aristocratic families. They use this method to weave an airtight web.

Li Shan himself could not escape. Su Dingfang and Wang Junhao, who had the closest relationship, married the daughter of the Li family in Longxi and the Liu family in Jie County respectively.

Li Shan's current achievements are needless to say. The people around him... to put it mildly, they are called chickens and dogs ascending to heaven.

As one of the few advisors around Li Shan, Ma Zhou played an extremely important role in the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and was repeatedly recommended by Li Shan in front of Li Shimin... It is no exaggeration to say that Li Shimin wanted to give Li Shan this face. . In this case, Su Xu took a fancy to Ma Zhou.

Last night, Su Xu talked to Li Shan privately about this matter. Li Shan would naturally not object. The Su family of Jingzhao Martial Arts is also a long-standing family member. The distant ancestor Su Ze was a famous official in Cao Wei, and the former Sui Su Wei was A famous minister of a generation.

Li Shan, who traveled to this time and space, changed the fate of countless people. Su Dingfang, who was supposed to emerge a few years later and was not really known as a famous general until more than 20 years ago, and Li Yuan, who was already revered as the emperor in the original time and space, at this time Li Shimin, who has already sat on the blood-stained throne...

Among countless people, there may be only two people whose fate has changed the most. One of them is Princess Pingyang who should have passed away, and the other is Ma Zhou.

In the original sky, Ma Zhou was recommended by Chang He to become an official... Li Shan was very sure that this was nonsense.

The unknown Ma Zhou was suddenly appreciated by Li Shimin for drafting a memorial for Chang He, and became a rare white-clad prime minister in history, reaching the rank of Zhongshu Ling.

Li Shan was very sure that Ma Zhou in history should be Li Shimin's man, and it was he who made Chang He a key figure in the Xuanwu Gate incident at the critical moment.

In this life, because of Er Zhuhuan, Ma Zhou, who had just entered Chang'an, was sent to Li Shan. Although Li Shan followed the historical trajectory and sent Ma Zhou to Chang He again... But obviously, the butterfly effect still worked.

Moreover, because Li Shan fully informed Ma Zhou of his existence, Li Shimin did not secretly do anything to Chang He... Of course, this was also because Li Shimin was never kicked out of the Tai Chi Palace and moved to the Forbidden Garden Hongyi Palace.

Therefore, Li Shan really felt guilty towards Ma Zhou.

Li Shan knew in his heart that perhaps Li Shimin would still value his suggestions in foreign wars, but it would be difficult for him to get involved in government affairs again, and Ma Zhou, who was stained with too much of his own color, would probably have a more difficult career in the future than in the original time and space. It’s much more difficult to walk.

After hearing Li Shanying say a lot of vague words, Ma Zhou himself didn't care much. Instead, he asked in a low voice with some anxiety: "Do we need to see each other..."

"We've already seen each other."

Ma Zhou's face froze and he said bitterly: "You didn't inform me in advance!"

"If you don't like it, what can I tell you?" Li Shan laughed, "Don't worry, I will take care of the wedding arrangements myself...the house, servants, and fields have been prepared for you!"

"By the way, I'll buy you a house in Yanshoufang... No, it's not a good thing to be too close to someone."

"That's all." Ma Zhou chuckled, "Do you think King Ma Bin will be able to lose the mark of King Si of Wei in this life?"

"Then I'll give you more fields." Li Shan sighed, "And Wang Junhao, Qu Hong, Fan Shiyi... In two days, I will go to Jingyang and Xianyang to choose. The fields given by His Majesty in the past two years are all around these two counties. ."

Ma Zhou thought for a while and whispered: "The war in Hedong?"

Li Shan burped without warning, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince won't still use X, right?"

"We must send troops there. There are a lot of strong generals. Do we expect Pharmacist Li to go there?" Ma Zhou sneered.

Li Shan remained silent. Before leaving, Princess Pingyang repeatedly asked her to get rid of the burden of the war in Hedong, but she may not be able to do it.

Now Li Shan feels a little regretful. If he hadn't caused this embarrassment to Li Jing and disgraced this guy... maybe he would have had a chance to let this guy take the blame.

But that's not necessarily the case. It has already snowed in Beijing and Zhaozhou. The climate in Hedong is definitely not much better. Shuozhou may be covered in ice and snow. Tuli Khan should withdraw his troops and return north in the near future.
