Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 276
As he drove out of Chang'an City, Li Shan let out a long breath. It has been more than a month since the end of February, and now it is mid-April. Although there is no heat, it is almost summer.

In the two years since he came to this era, Li Shan has faced many difficulties.

Li Shimin beat up the children of Prince Qin's mansion in Changlepo, and Li Shan confronted Li Shimin calmly and fiercely.

Forced to escort grain and grass north to Hebei Road, Li Shan was eager to try in his heart. Even in the valley outside Liting County, Li Shan could calmly face the desperate situation.

As for being forced to take the Jinshi examination... Li Shan can only say that it is God's will.

But this time, no matter whether he was facing Princess Pingyang's illness or facing Chai Shao's solicitation today, Li Shan felt uneasy...especially when Princess Pingyang finally spoke of his aunt and nephew.

It is difficult for Li Shan to judge what Li Dewu is thinking... But the fact is that Li Dewu's previous two shots were rough and rough, not only did not have any effect, but made Li Shan famous, but this time, Li Shan Get bogged down.

Slowly riding his horse by the Jing River, Li Shan looked around and saw the boats passing by on the river, and he could faintly hear the boatman's cheers, and he couldn't help feeling refreshed.

"Huai Ren."

Dozens of people on the pier were waiting for the ship to dock, and a middle-aged man greeted them with a smile.

Li Shan got off his horse and said with a smile, "To be called Du Erlang, he should be called Uncle Du."

"That's natural." Du Chuke took a few steps forward, "Seeing Huairen today, Princess Pingyang must have recovered?"

Li Shan nodded, "It should be fine to take more rest."

In the past month, Princess Pingyang, who was on her deathbed, was brought back from the gate of hell by Li Shan... This is a major event that has spread throughout Chang'an, and countless people are paying attention to it... After all, such a wonderful method of rejuvenation belongs to a powerful family Also looking forward to it.

This is also a quagmire... Thanks to Li Dewu, now Li Shan is getting more and more important, not only because of Princess Pingyang, but also because of his status as a doctor.

Think about it, if an old man from a powerful family is about to pass away... Ask Li Shan, do you agree or not?
If you don't agree, you will offend the person... and offend the other person to death.

You can save Princess Pingyang, but you are unwilling to save my elders... There are so many families headed by five surnames and seven families, Li Shan can imagine it, if Master Li Ke and Li Kai ask, can you not agree?
But promised...it could only get worse.

Even in the past life, the best hospital in the country... suffered from medical troubles all the year round, because they couldn't save all the patients.

In this era, what Li Shan can do is very, very limited... Many operations are at the risk of unpredictable, if someone dies from an allergic reaction to penicillin, or simply dies from the dagger in Li Shan's hand...

The first two times Li Dewu lifted a rock to smash his own feet, and let Li Shan step on this rock and jump up... Li Shan became famous in Chang'an. Thanks to Li Dewu.

But this time, the stone still hit Li Dewu's own foot, but it also hit Li Shan's foot at the same time.

This guy must have known that the sage Li Yuan ordered to kill the doctors of the Imperial Medical Office that day, so he encouraged the crown prince to recommend Li Shan. This is not a coincidence.

But after Li Shan rescued Princess Pingyang, he fell into a quagmire from which he could not extricate himself.

"This matter is really dangerous..." Li Shan's eyes flickered, and the subject changed, "Uncle Du is here..."

"I've already given up the desire to become an official and take care of the public affairs." Du Chuke laughed and said nothing.

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Shan turned to Zhujiagou, and Su Dingfang who was beside him whispered, "It should be a grain ship."

"Ok?"

Su Dingfang explained a few words, unlike Li Shan who has been locked in the Princess Pingyang Mansion, he has heard about it a long time ago... Under the vigorous promotion of the Jingzhao Du family, the name of Yuhuchun has spread all over the world and is known as the first-class one. The famous wines in the world, not to mention Xinfeng wine, even salamander and wine have been overwhelmed.

"Lang Jun is back!"

"Finally back!"

Someone at the entrance of the village shouted loudly, and dozens of young and strong came up to meet him. The one in front was the smiling Fan Shiyi... Su Dingfang glanced over, and Fan Shiyi immediately stopped in his tracks and walked away dejectedly... He is Born as a scout in the army, Su Dingfang designated him as a secret sentry.

Li Shan smiled and pointed at Zhao Da, "The house is built?"

Zhao Da grinned and only knew how to laugh, and the people next to him were chattering. Li Shan got off his horse and walked into the village. The mountain temple, one goes to Li's house, but now all the roads in the village are paved with bricks and stones.

Li Shan couldn't laugh or cry... It was the first time I saw this appearance, the floor was paved with red bricks.

After more than a month, the three brick kilns in the brick factory in the village started work every day. Li Shan walked along the road. The houses on both sides were newly built and paved with red bricks. From a distance, Zhujiagou was covered by a cloud of red mist. shrouded.

Ling Jing, Ma Zhou, and Zhu Wei who received the notification were all waiting outside Li's house. Although they were smiling, Li Shan keenly noticed that their brows were slightly frowning.

It doesn't look like there is anything good!

"Uncle Qi." Li Shan smiled and said, "Is everything safe in the village?"

"Okay, okay." Zhu Wei nodded again and again, pointing to the big house opposite, "That's Mr. Ling's new house."

Li Shan took a few glances, and saw that it was a nondescript courtyard house, which seemed to be modified by Ling Jing himself.

The Su residence on the side has also been refurbished, and the opposite door is a courtyard house, which is Ma Zhou's residence... This guy really plans to settle in Zhujiagou after looking at him like this.

Hey, at this time in history, Li Jiancheng had already pacified Hebei, and Chang He would soon be transferred to Chang'an. Ma Zhou climbed this thigh again a few years later, and became a famous white-clothed minister in history... ...Now, it is completely useless, and preparations for next year's scientific examination have already begun.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Shan first entered the house, entered the backyard, knelt down on his knees, and said, "My son pays respects to his mother."

"Get up."

Before Li Shan knelt down, Mrs. Zhu had already stretched out her hand to pull her son up, "Princess Pingyang has recovered?"

"Yes." Li Shan deliberately smiled and said, "If he doesn't recover, I'm afraid the child will not be able to go home."

Zhu's face was quite suspicious, and he hesitated for a while before saying: "Ten years ago... Changsun once mentioned that it was recommended by the crown prince?"

"Yes." Li Shan's face was a little stiff, "The prince also has good intentions."

Mrs. Zhu stared into her son's eyes, "Who is involved in this matter?"

For Mrs. Zhu, her son is everything to her, and the prince recommended him, which reminded her of Li Dewu... After all, Li Dewu entered the East Palace.

"I don't know yet." Li Shan was still smiling, "It's always a good thing, my child is sure."

There is no need for mother to worry about things outside. Although Li Shan has never been with his parents in his previous life, he always knows how to compare his heart with his heart.

Seeing that his mother wanted to ask more questions, Li Shan rushed forward and said: "Before leaving, Princess Pingyang mentioned that she will be called aunt and nephew in the future, and I guess she will come to pay her respects soon."

"Aunt and nephew?" Zhu's spirit was shaken. Although she only went north in the fourth year of Wude, but she has been with Changsun for many years, and she also knows the importance of Princess Pingyang in Li Tang.

After chatting a few more words, Li Shancai went out, put his arms around Xiaoman's waist, and exerted strength with his hands, "Hey, I lost weight!"

Xiao Man stared at his big black eyes, "I'm worried about my husband, it's hard to swallow."

"Haha, you can really talk." Li Shan laughed and said, "Since you are worried, why did you come back?"

That day, it was Zhou and Xiaoman who went together, but the next day Li Shan sensed that something was wrong with Xiaoman, so he simply sent him back... At that time, Li Shan was worried about something in his head, but after thinking about it, Xiaoman was afraid I knew Princess Pingyang before.

The women of Jiaofangsi in the early Tang Dynasty were all family members of criminal officials. They might be good at singing and dancing, and they might also be good at reciting poems and making fuss, but few had read classics and history, and Xiaoman was no worse than Li Shan in this respect.

"Go, let Lao Fan invite Mr. Ling over."

"Mr. Ling, Ma Zhou and Dalang Su have not left yet."

Li Shan sighed, strode into the main hall, and the first thing he said when he sat down was, "Let's talk."

Ma Zhou scratched his nose, "In the past few days, people from Longxi Li, Zhaojun Li, Hedong Liu, and Hedong Xue have all come to the door. In addition, there are also some aristocratic families and clans who have come."

Ling Jing saw that Xiaoman had already retreated, and then scolded: "Since it was reported more than ten days ago that Princess Pingyang recovered, the rumors are passing day by day... It is said that Huairen is a contemporary medical saint."

Li Shan couldn't help but burst out laughing, the contemporary medical sage... who put a high hat on me.

"Still laughing?!" Ling Jing stared and said, "For this reason, King Huaiyang came to visit..."

"Oh oh oh oh!" Li Shan suddenly realized, "Brother Daoxuan was instigated by Uncle Ling..."

"Instigate?" Ling Jing laughed angrily, "If the Li family in Longxi invites you, why don't you go?"

"Even if one is rescued, there are still ten or hundreds waiting for you!"

Li Shan nodded in agreement, and now he understands that this is the real reason why Li Daoxuan visited Princess Pingyang and hoped that he would invest in Princess Pingyang's mansion.

With the protection of Princess Pingyang, Li Shan can be alone.

Ma Zhou said in a low voice: "Huiren, have you ever thought about... If some important minister is critically ill in the future, the crown prince will recommend it again?"

"If the generals of King Qin's lineage are seriously ill, will King Qin postpone the invitation?"

"For the current plan, only Princess Pingyang can protect her."

These are issues that Li Shan hadn't considered before leaving Princess Pingyang's mansion. After all, the news had been cut off for a long time. After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but smiled wryly, "Both the prince and the King of Qin want to be gentle with this."

Thinking about it, Prince Li Jiancheng patted his chest and said, come on, let's go to the East Palace... Isn't your old man critically ill, I'll just let Li Huairen go!

Don't worry, absolutely no problem!

Half of Princess Pingyang's body has entered the gate of hell, and Li Huairen can snatch it back from the hand of Hades!
Paralysis... Li Shan cursed in his heart, what is this called!
Ling Jing was still adding fuel and jealousy there, "Hedong Pei family, Qinghe Cui family... two roadblocks, you are now under the command of the King of Qin, but you have entered an official position through the imperial examination. The East Palace is quite tender and has the intention of attracting you."

"At this time, it is most appropriate to invest in Princess Pingyang's mansion. Even the king of Qin and the crown prince dare not force him!"

"Huiren, do you know how important Princess Pingyang is in Li Tang?"

Ling Jing sighed: "Regardless of other things, there are many heroes in Tiance Mansion who once served under the command of Princess Pingyang, and there are quite a few old troops in the Xuanjia Army..."

"That's why." Li Shan interrupted with a long sigh, "Qiao Guogong said that Princess Pingyang's shogunate has been absent for many years, but someone declined."

"Why?"

"Why?!"

Ling Jing and Ma Zhou spoke in unison.

Li Shan sorted out his thoughts in his heart, and said softly: "First, I have stayed in the Princess Mansion for more than a month. I have seen and heard it with my own eyes. I know the importance of Princess Pingyang. She is favored by the saints and has many meritorious deeds. , so that the soldiers will obey their orders."

"Secondly, Princess Pingyang has been stationed in Jinyang for many years, and the six guards on the left and right are equipped with thousands of troops."

Ling Jing and Ma Zhou were at a loss as to what they knew.

Li Shan emphasized his tone, "Thirdly, I heard Qiao Guogong mentioned...it was the prince's suggestion that the sage called Princess Pingyang back to Beijing."

After a moment of silence, Ma Zhou tentatively asked, "Princess Pingyang and the Crown Prince are on good terms?"

"Absolutely impossible." Ling Jing sneered and said, "If it is said that King Qi is attached to the East Palace, maybe he has other intentions, but what is the benefit of Princess Pingyang's attachment to the East Palace?"

To be honest, Qi Wang Li Yuanji is also qualified to become emperor, but Princess Pingyang is impossible... After all, Wu Zetian didn't know if she was born yet.

Ling Jing pondered for a while, "What Huairen means...Princess Pingyang may also be involved in the seizure?"

"Why does the prince insist on transferring Princess Pingyang back to the capital?" Li Shan said coldly, "It's just to check and balance King Qin."

Ling Jing nodded in agreement, "Although the East Palace has the Changlin Army, and the Prince Qi Mansion also has the left and right Liuhu Army Mansions, but in terms of force, it is hard to compete with the Tiance Mansion."

Ma Zhou was familiar with history books, his lips trembling, "Could it be..."

Ling Jing glanced at Ma Zhou, then shook his head slightly, "Not yet."

There's a difference between "not yet" and "not yet".

Li Shan smiled, and Ling Jing could tell that Li Shimin hoped to gain the position through normal means, at least at this time, Gong Bian seizing the position was not in his plan.

"Huai Ren, just say what you want."

"December last year, Chen Guogong died of illness." Li Shan didn't want to say this at first, after all, it was just a guess. Although it may become a fact from the perspective of a traveler, Ling Jing and Ma Zhou need to be convinced right now.

Ma Zhou doesn't see any great use for now...but Ling Jing is the most important link between Li Shan and Li Shimin.

"Chen Guogong Dou Kang, formerly the general of Zuo Wuhou, once accompanied the king of Qin to pacify Xueju in Longxi and attack Luoyang, but he was only loyal to the saint... Although he is the general of Zuo Wuhou, he actually controls the Beiya Forbidden Army."

"Beiya Forbidden Army?"

"The left and right prison gate guards are in charge of various gate guards, such as Xuanwu Gate and Fanglin Gate. The left and right Qianniu guards are attendants and ritual guards. The two are collectively called the Beiya Forbidden Army, guarding the imperial city. The twelve guards are located in the palace. Known as the Nanya Army."

"In other words, the Beiya Forbidden Army is directly under His Majesty's troops." Li Shan lowered his eyes, "If Princess Pingyang is in charge of the Beiya Forbidden Army...how can I get along with you?"

Ling Jing and Ma Zhou were dumbfounded. If Princess Pingyang was in charge of the Beiya Imperial Army, then Li Shanzhen would be the target of public criticism.

A young man who has saved Princess Pingyang's life... Now Li Shan can still choose a side, but if he joins Princess Pingyang's mansion as a long history, if he still doesn't choose a side, he will only become a victim.

Ling Jing raised the amount with his hand, "It's so dangerous, so dangerous..."

Ma Zhou was still doubting, "Princess is in charge of the Imperial Army?"

"Huairen has been in the princess mansion for more than a month, if he is not sure, how dare he speak nonsense?!"

Hearing Ling Jing reprimand Ma Zhou for this reason, Li Shan wanted to laugh a little.
