Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 274 Li Daoxuan's Visit
Li Daoxuan was a son of the clan, and he was not married, and he was not yet in his prime, so Chai Shao accompanied him straight into the backyard.

"Third sister, your complexion is much better." Li Daoxuan said with a smile, "Thanks to Huairen's masterful hand."

Princess Pingyang who was leaning on the couch smiled wryly, "Hands and feet are still weak."

"Healing from a serious illness, the natural recovery will be slower." Li Daoxuan persuaded: "In two months, birds and beasts will be everywhere, and I am going to see the third sister riding and shooting again."

Princess Pingyang smiled and stretched out her hand to nod Li Daoxuan, "It's still the temper of the past, and Sanhu was often reprimanded by his father for this."

Among the clan's children, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji liked hunting the most, and then Li Daoxuan... But Li Shimin's military achievements are outstanding, and Li Daoxuan's great victory in Hebei, so only Li Yuanji was scolded.

In the early years in Jinyang, Li Daoxuan was still young, and Li Shimin and his wife took care of them on weekdays. The unmarried Princess Pingyang taught riding and archery... So, Princess Pingyang is not actually the third among the royal children, but Li Daoxuan followed Li Shimin and his wife as the third sister .

"Why don't you see Huairen today?" Li Daoxuan looked around, for the first two visits, Li Shan was always by Princess Pingyang's side.

"The past few days have improved greatly... Huairen just sent Qin Wangfei off on her behalf."

"Second sister-in-law is here too?" Li Daoxuan said with a smile, "Huairen set up a wounded barracks in Guantao County that day, and took care of them meticulously. I think third sister will be able to ride a horse in summer."

Princess Pingyang's appearance is not considered beautiful, but delicate, with sharp lines on her face, but she has a gentle smile, "Li Langjun is indeed delicate and has a good temper."

The scene was quiet for a moment, Chai Shao and Li Daoxuan looked at each other, not quite knowing how to answer this sentence.

The Li Shan that Princess Pingyang saw was really good-tempered...that is Li Shan who turned into a nurse, no problem, there are doctors in this era, but no nurses.

Last year in Shandong, a small group of nurses with rough hands and feet were trained...but they were not allowed to enter the backyard of Princess Pingyang.

And what Chai Shao saw was Li Shan, Li Shan in the doctor mode... In later generations of hospitals, there are many nurses with good tempers, but doctors with good tempers, tsk tsk, are too rare.

Even if his temper isn't bad, he's indifferent enough... Chai Shao recalled that day, when the Crown Princess, Qin Wangfei, and Qi Wangfei arrived together, Li Shan still looked cold and didn't even salute.

And Li Daoxuan knew much more about Li Shan than these two. After returning to Chang'an, he chatted with Li Shimin and his wife twice. His behavior style is in the same line, seemingly kind, but at critical moments, he is decisive.

Just think about what happened to Shi Wanbao.

After a few vague words, Li Daoxuan asked casually, seemingly unintentionally: "By the way, did you see Ma Sanbao limping just now?"

"Could it have fallen off the horse?"

Chai Shao on the side smiled and said: "That was Huairen's follower... That day, Sanbao was rejected because of his impatience, and was knocked off his horse by that man. These days, he often asks for advice, and every time he is ashamed."

Li Daoxuan was startled, "Is it Su Dingfang?"

Seeing Chai Shao nodding his head, Li Daoxuan smiled and said: "Brother Su is not well-known, but he is extremely powerful in martial arts and has a deeper understanding of the art of war."

Chai Shao was a little surprised, "So amazing?"

"Liu Heitao attacked Guantao twice successively, and Su Dingfang fought three times, with hundreds of riders sweeping across the city every time. If it weren't for tens of thousands of Turkic troops, Liu Heitao would have been defeated long ago." Li Daoxuan said, "Houwei County, Yongji In the two battles, Su Ding and Fang both commanded well..."

Chai Shao was also acquainted with Li Daoxuan in his early years, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Aren't you responsible for these two battles?"

"I was full of resentment that day, and I only knew that the charge was ahead." Li Daoxuan did not shy away from it. It had been several months, and the details of the battle in Hebei had already spread. Su Dingfang went to battle, invincible and never lost."

"By the way, that day at Liting in Beizhou, there was an interception in front and pursuers in the rear. It was Huairen who ordered a night attack. Su Dingfang led [-] cavalry to break through the camp, killed more than a thousand enemies, and burned all the food and grass."

Liu Jun and Xue Zhong had already told Li Daoxuan about the battle in Beizhou in detail, and now the latter described it in detail... Chai Shao couldn't help being moved, "If you have such meritorious service, if you enter the army, you will at least be a general!"

"I'm afraid that Su Dingfang may not be willing to join the army." Li Daoxuan said with a smile, "Huiren is very kind to Su Dingfang."

"Huiren went from Bo to the south. On the way, he saw the Turks looting the village. Out of righteous indignation, he came to his aid. Brother Su's mother shot an arrow into her stomach."

"Huairen held a sharp knife to cut open her abdomen and revive Su's mother... Su Dingfang promised to serve as a slave under Li's family that day."

"But Huairen regards him as a brother... so, how can Su Dingfang be willing to abandon him?"

Princess Pingyang praised: "One person is benevolent, and the other is righteous."

Chai Shao felt a little regretful, "Su Dingfang is good at riding and shooting, has courage, and is more familiar with the art of war. If he can join the army, he will surely do a lot."

Regarding Su Dingfang's arrangement, Li Daoxuan also asked Li Shan...the latter also told him frankly that he never thought of keeping Su Dingfang under his command.

But now that the court is in chaos, Su Dingfang's relationship with Li Shan is too deep, much deeper than his relationship with Ling Jing, so it is not suitable to be an official at this time... Anyway, there is Ling Jing in front.

Chai Shao was still there regretting, but Princess Pingyang thought for a moment, and looked at Li Daoxuan with suspicious eyes... What this cousin said today is somewhat mysterious.

Su Dingfang received Li Shan's great kindness, willingly joined Li Shan's family, served Li Shan as his follower, and did his best.

Now I have also been greatly favored by Li Shan...Princess Pingyang certainly knows that although the crown prince Li Jiancheng recommended him, Li Shan, who has made great achievements in the Shandong war and is the top Jinshi list, can escape this calamity...Although it will inevitably happen in the future Career is difficult.

The East Palace and the King of Qin seized the heir, and Prince Li Jiancheng recommended Li Shan... To put it bluntly, it's a shot if you have dates or not, anyway, you won't suffer.

Because of this, Princess Pingyang is most grateful not to Prince Li Jiancheng, but to Li Shan for being able to return from the ghost gate to Yangjian this time.

Princess Pingyang couldn't help thinking in her heart, what did Li Daoxuan's words mean... Is it to remind me not to forget Li Shan's great kindness?
After chatting a little more about the topic just now, Li Daoxuan coughed twice, "I heard that Shi Huaixun came to the door yesterday?"

Princess Pingyang squinted her eyes and nodded slightly, sighing: "Shi Wansui was a former famous general of the Sui Dynasty, and Shi Wanbao was also a veteran in the battlefield. Unexpectedly, he was not wise because of this..."

Li Daoxuan said with a sneer: "That day when I rushed to the battle, I looked back and saw Shi Wanbao standing still. For such a crime, Shi Huaixun actually has the face to come to the door?!"

Chai Shao frowned. Shi Wanbao and Huai'an County King Li Shentong gathered troops in Guanzhong back then, and they were all under the command of Princess Pingyang, so they were considered old troops.

"Shi Wanbao committed suicide in fear of crime. His two sons became officials...Why did Daoxuan kill them all?"

Li Daoxuan snorted, "Suicide in fear of crime?"

"That day, it was my younger brother who personally beheaded him!"

"What?!" Chai Shao was shocked, "You..."

After a moment of silence, Princess Pingyang waved her hands wearily and said: "No matter what the reason is, it is an unforgivable crime to sit and watch the friendly army be trapped... Daoxuan is not guilty of this move."

Chai Shao was silent for a while, "Rest in Pingyang, if Daoxuan doesn't mind, please drink in the front yard."

"No need, Third Sister, rest." Li Daoxuan stood up, and said with a more serious tone, "Sanjie, Shi Wanbao was first cut off by me, and then I cut off his head."

Seeing Li Daoxuan striding out of the door, Princess Pingyang closed her eyes, and after a while said softly: "Sichang, today Daoxuan... seems to have a deep meaning."

"That's true, but I don't know what it means."

"Go and ask..." Princess Pingyang's thoughts changed sharply, "I remember that Guantao Ling is a member of the Qinghe Cui clan..."

Chai Shao squinted his eyes and nodded slightly. Just as he was about to go out, the maid outside came to report.

"Princess, Li Langjun asked to see you outside, packed his luggage, and seems to be divorced."

Princess Pingyang did not open her eyes, but shook her head slightly.
