Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 272 Choice
Chai Shao's father was Chai Shen, the former famous general of Julu County. According to the division of later generations, he was roughly classified into the Guanlong clan.

The Guanlong family started their family with martial arts. Li Yuan's grandfather Li Hu was one of the Eight Great Pillar Kingdoms. The Pingyang Princess Mansion is different from other family mansions in that there is a large martial arts arena in the backyard.

Li Shan was sitting on a stone bench bored, watching Ma Sanbao and Su Dingfang compete there. In terms of reputation, the former was far superior, and he was also cunning in battle, but he was far from being comparable to Su Dingfang in terms of force.

Su Dingfang is taciturn and has a stable temperament, but he has been trapped in Zhujiagou for the past few months and has nowhere to use his strength. He has been here with Li Shan for half a month, but he can move his hands and feet.

He knocked Ma Sanbao over again with a stick. Seeing Li Shan, Su Dingfang walked over and whispered, "Today the old lady sent Zhu Ba over...does the old lady want to visit?"

"Why is mother here?" Li Shan was a little strange, thought for a while and waved his hand: "It's not convenient to come to the door."

If you are an aborigine, you naturally have to obey your mother's orders. This era does not pay attention to the idea of ​​husband and son obeying death.

Sometimes, Li Shan also thinks that Zhu's strength and various arrangements for his only son should come from Li Dewu's behavior of abandoning his wife and son.

However, as a time traveler, Li Shan has his own plan for the path he will take in the future, and it is absolutely impossible to obey Zhu's.

Over there, Ma Sanbao got up, came over and chatted for a few words before leaving, Su Dingfang smiled and sent him out before returning.

"It doesn't need to be like this." Li Shan glanced at Ma Sanbao's back, "I will make my own plans in the future."

Su Dingfang lowered his voice and said: "Princess Pingyang is loved by His Majesty, Chai Gong is one of the twelve generals, and he is impartial in the court. If you are Huairen..."

Su Dingfang's meaning is obvious. Now that he is facing the Middle East Palace and the King of Qin is taking over the throne, Li Shan takes this opportunity to cling to Princess Pingyang... Naturally, he can avoid those troubles.

With the grace of saving lives, even if Li Shan's life experience is leaked, what can the Hedong Pei family do?
Could it be that Princess Pingyang can't stop it?

Su Dingfang saw clearly that Princess Pingyang in Li Tang was not just a princess who was favored by her father and her husband frequently made meritorious deeds.

"You're right." Li Shan stood up, the corners of his mouth trembling, "It's really unimaginable...but that's why."

In the past few days, more and more people came to visit. The Guanlong family, the Li Tang clan, the mother family Dou's family, and then to the East Palace, the Qin Palace, and the aristocratic families headed by five surnames and seven families. The threshold is about to be broken.

Chai Shao greeted the guests outside, and the female relatives led into the backyard, while Li Shan was always in the backyard as a doctor, smelling the fragrance all day long... met countless female relatives, and even met the mother of Mrs. Cui, Mrs. Zhang.

Hey, Mrs. Zhang showed a polite smile to Li Shan... It's just that the face was so distorted that I couldn't see it!

Time and time again, Li Shan puts more weight on Princess Pingyang and his wife in his heart, and in this couple, Princess Pingyang plays a leading role.

This is almost the only existence in the feudal era. There is no one before or after. No wonder they were buried with military ceremonies in history...Even Wu Zetian and Empress Lu just relied on power.

Li Shan circled around the stone bench, one thought after another flashed in his mind, if Princess Pingyang can fully recover... this will be a key person who will affect Chang'an and even Jingzhao.

In the incident of Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin informed the crown prince and King Qi of adultery in the harem. Li Yuan decided to summon everyone to agree on the next day. As a result, the next morning, Li Shimin led the Tiance Mansion's trusted generals to launch a mutiny and killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji in one fell swoop. He is in the East Palace, ascended the throne as emperor within one month, and respects Li Yuan as the Supreme Emperor.

Both "New Book of Tang" and "Old Book of Tang" describe it in this way.

However, Li Shan, who traveled to the Xuanwu Gate before the change, could easily see through a key point. The Xuanwu Gate was beating life and death, and the East Palace and Qi Wangfu's army had attacked the city.

And what is Li Yuan doing?
Could it be that Li Yuan expects his three sons to kill you to death, and then choose one to be the prince?
As the founding emperor, Li Yuan has various weaknesses, but he must have a very high political IQ. He couldn't have imagined that Li Shimin's success must not be aimed at the East Palace but the throne.

It's the same even if Li Jiancheng succeeds, can he suppress the iron rods of Li Shimin in Tiance Mansion?

Li Jiancheng will never hand over possible disposal rights to Li Yuan. In that case, if there are changes in Shandong Road and Yizhou Road, is it possible for Li Yuan to throw the blame on Li Jiancheng?
Therefore, in the battle of Xuanwumen, no matter who wins or loses, Li Yuan will definitely be taken away. It is impossible for him not to see this.

Therefore, the only explanation is that Li Yuan was already under control at that time... Well, according to historical records, Li Yuan, Pei Ji, Pei Shiju, Chen Shuda and other prime ministers were on a boat on the lake.

Just kidding, in the morning, why is Li Yuan so out of his mind that he took a few prime ministers to the lake to have a blast?
The Battle of Xuanwumen took place in the morning, but Li Shimin's most important move was the night before.

If Li Yuan hadn't been brought under control... the Imperial City is not just the Xuanwu Gate.

After Ling Jing entered the Tiance Mansion, he began to deeply explore the power distribution of the imperial court... Because of the guidance of Li Shan, a traveler, Ling Jing's research was very targeted.

Now, what Li Shan can be sure of is that the troops deployed in Chang'an City were originally commanded by Chen Guogong Dou Kang. This is Li Yuan's most trusted relative. He never called him by name, but called him brother.

After Dou Kang died of illness last year, the Forbidden Army in charge of guarding the imperial city did not have a commander in name.

The Tang Dynasty followed the old system of Kaihuang. Twelve guards led the soldiers of Zhechong Mansion from all over the world, and the remaining four guards guarded Chang'an. The imperial guards of the various gates, the latter two are the emperor's attendants and guards of honor, collectively known as the "Bei Ya Imperial Army", guarding the imperial city.

The four guards... Donggong couldn't and didn't dare to intervene, otherwise Li Jiancheng wouldn't have needed to form a long forest army.

But no matter how Li Yuan chooses... as long as he doesn't choose generals from the prince's lineage, he will probably fall into Li Shimin's trap.

There is no way around this. The battles of Li Tangliguo were basically fought by Li Shimin. As long as they made meritorious deeds and stood out...basically they all served under Li Shimin's command, even Li Xiaogong, who is still in the south of the Yangtze River, Under Li Jing's command, most of the generals are also Li Shimin's former troops.

In other words, as long as Li Shimin gives an order, he will probably control Miyagi... For this, Li Jiancheng must have thought about it. In history, Li Jiancheng stuffed in the heroes who accompanied him to conquer Liu Heitai... Uh , such as Chang He.

Li Shan's eyes flickered, and he said in a low voice: "It's different..."

It is indeed different. In the second year after Dou Kang died of illness, Princess Pingyang also died of illness, which caused Li Yuan's control over the imperial army to drop significantly.

In this life, Princess Pingyang survived.

In other words, Princess Pingyang is likely to directly control the Beiya Forbidden Army in the future and be responsible for guarding the imperial city... She will not care about the three brothers being beaten to death, she will only make trouble with her father Li Yuan.

Li Shan thought in his heart, if Li Shimin wanted to launch the Xuanwu Gate Change like in history, how likely is it to succeed?
In the days to come, one thing is for sure.

Princess Pingyang must be the candidate that the East Palace and the King of Qin tried hard to win over... No matter how loyal Princess Pingyang is to Li Yuan, she will inevitably fall into the whirlpool.

It doesn't matter to Princess Pingyang herself, they are all brothers and sisters, as long as she has no preference, whoever is in the position has little influence on her.

But what about those under Princess Pingyang?

If Li Shan joins Princess Pingyang at this time... the flesh on Li Shan's cheeks bulges, at that time, no matter whether it is the King of Qin or the Crown Prince, I am afraid that he will have to make a clear statement.

Who will let go of Li Shan, who is already well-known, and who has saved the life of Princess Pingyang this time?

Therefore, this time the credit is enough, but it is absolutely impossible for Li Shan to join Princess Pingyang.

Thinking of this, Li Shan turned his head, looked at Su Dingfang apologetically, explained briefly and in a low voice, and said again: "Brother Su, staying in the village is really overkill, I have wronged you."

Su Dingfang smiled, "I would like to be the dog that guards the house."

"Wait a little longer, there will be a time when brother Su will praise his achievements."
