Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 277

Among the founding emperors of all dynasties, Li Yuan was not outstanding in terms of achievements, mind, and aptitude, but in terms of fertility, he was the top one, not only in terms of quantity, but also in high quality.

The only ones who can compete with Li Yuan are Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang. The former has Emperor Wen of Han, and the latter has Emperor Yongle. But besides Tang Taizong, Li Yuan also has Princess Pingyang... Even Li Jiancheng Not for nothing.

Under three generations, Emperor Taizong of Tang has no faults... In a sense, it is established. This is a monarch with strong self-control, who has decided to be a perfect emperor from the very beginning.

As for Princess Pingyang, it is not that there are no female generals in the long history, and Princess Pingyang is unparalleled in her achievements.

The founding emperors were often quite tolerant towards their offspring. This was particularly evident in Li Yuan's performance. When his daughter woke up, got better, and then nearly recovered, he would either visit him personally, or ask Concubine Wan Gui, who presides over the harem, to visit her, and frequently bestowed many precious medicinal materials.

In Liangyi Hall, the discussion was over, Li Yuan watched Zaifu leave, then turned to look at Li Jiancheng, "How is Pingyang today?"

"Avalokitesvara went to visit early in the morning, and the third sister is recovering very quickly, and she also talked about going out to the city to ride and hunt in a few days." Li Jiancheng said with a smile: "Chai Shao persuaded and persuaded, but there is no way to persuade."

"Pingyang has been like this since he was a child." Li Yuan laughed and nodded, "This time Pingyang recovered, and Dalang's recommendation is meritorious."

"The third sister is critically ill, so I have to give it a try no matter what." Li Jiancheng said solemnly: "In all dynasties and dynasties, only my family values ​​love the most."

Li Shimin lowered his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He couldn't say such words... In his opinion, the current dynasty is not much better than the former Sui Dynasty.

"For meritorious service is meritorious service." Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "Think about it as a father, what should I give as a reward..."

"Father, the child does not want to be rewarded. For this part of the job, I ask the father to reward Li Shan."

"That's natural." Li Yuan smiled and said, "I have called him to see him today."

Li Shimin raised his head slightly, his eyes collided with Li Jiancheng's.

If there is no such thing as Li Dewu, if Li Shan is not a time traveler, Li Jiancheng's actions can be said to be just right, and Li Shan can be taken under his command logically.

Li Shimin never had the idea of ​​letting Li Shan enter the East Palace as an internal response... Li Shan himself would not have such an idea.

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan talked about the details of Princess Pingyang's recovery. Li Shimin sat aside and listened silently.

Li Shimin was not afraid that Li Shan would turn against him, but he just thought in his heart blankly, why did Li Shan reject the daughter of the Gao family in Bohai a few days ago.

His ancestral home is Chengji in Longxi, his great-grandfather Shen Guogong, many of his ancestors had titles, they were once prominent, and he himself is quite talented, matching the daughter of the Bohai Gao family, he should be a good match... What's more, Gao Shilian is also his wife's uncle.

From any aspect, Li Shimin couldn't figure out why Li Shan refused... He also asked his wife to inquire about it. He Dong Liu's family was interested in it before, but they were also politely rejected.

But on that day, Guanyin's maidservant was asked to speak, and I was still expected to be the master of the marriage... Li Shimin was a little confused, and only cursed in his heart that this guy was really a slippery man.

At this moment, Slick has already entered the imperial city,
This time, Li Shan came here when he was taking the exam and reading the rankings, so he paid extra attention this time.

Inside the imperial city, outside the Taiji Palace, on the east side are Shangshu Province and Menxia Province, and on the right side is Zhongshu Province.

To the south of the Shangshu Province and Menxia Province is the Twelve Guards Office, and to the north of the three provinces, the houses closest to the Taiji Palace are the residences of the Zuojian Gatekeeper... In other words, the Zuojian Gatekeeper is responsible for guarding the Taiji Palace the main entrance.

"Hui Ren is here."

Li Shan came back to his senses, swept his eyes, bowed and saluted, "Greetings, gentlemen."

Oncoming were the three senior officials and adjutants who had just returned from discussing matters in the Liangyi Hall, and the ones who said hello were Zhongshu Shengshi Lang Yuwenshiji.

"Sit down in Zhongshu Sheng for a while, and a servant will come to call you later."

"Yes." Li Shan glanced, Pei Ji, Pei Shiju and others all went east, only a middle-aged man walked over.

"Are there any poems recently?"

"Huiren should thank you." Yuwen Shiji introduced, "This is Chen Guogong, one of my servants."

"Greetings to Chen Guogong." Li Shan hurriedly saluted, "I really have no time these days..."

Chen Shuda laughed and said, "No time to deliberate?"

"The rest of the month is in the Princess Mansion, so naturally there is no time." Yuwen Shiji smoothed things over and said, "Hui Ren remembers to ask Mr. Chen to comment on his new work in the future."

"How dare you comment?" Chen Shuda shook his head and said, "In the northern part of Chang'an, it's hard to see the south of the Yangtze River. I would like to listen to the works of old scenes."

The Chen Shuda in front of him is the younger brother of Empress Chen, the prince of the Chen Dynasty. He was moved to Chang'an after the Sui Dynasty was destroyed. scene.

Li Shan's mind has changed sharply. Now the Zaifu in the court, Li Shimin, a senior official of the Shangshu, Xiao Yu and Pei Ji are the servants on the left and right, Pei Shiju and Chen Shuda are the ministers under the door, Yang Gongren and Yuwen Shiji are the ministers of the Zhongshu.

Among them, Pei Ji, Pei Shiju, and Yuwen Shiji all had their heels, while Xiao Yu, Yang Gongren, and Chen Shuda held the middle ground.

Among these three people, in terms of their relationship with Li Yuan, it is naturally Xiao Yu, whose wife is Li Yuan's aunt.

In terms of family prestige, it is naturally Yang Gongren, who was born in the Hongnong Yang family, and there are countless officials in the family.

As for talent, and his own reputation in the court, it is Chen Guogong and Chen Shuda who are talented, knowledgeable and eloquent.

Not to mention other things, Chen Shuda is also kind to Li Shan himself... Although it was Li Shan's design, it was Chen Shuda who sent the test paper to Li Yuan after all.

Uh, Li Shan had already deliberately inquired about it. Because Chen Shuda was born in the south of the Yangtze River, he supported many famous people in the south of the Yangtze River.

Turning quickly in his mind, Li Shan said with a smile: "I have no time to ponder these days, but I walked with my friends by the Jing River in February and got a few broken poems."

"Come and listen to it yet."

"Three or two branches of peach blossoms outside the bamboo are the prophets of the ducks in the spring water. The basket poles are full of short reed buds on the ground, which is the time when the puffer fish is about to go."

Yuwen Shiji couldn't help laughing and cursing: "In your own words...you're a foodie!"

Chen Shuda was stunned for a while, his expression was gloomy, he seemed to be recalling the grand scenery in the south of the Yangtze River he had seen as a young man, and said softly: "Although it is simple, it is interesting. You can't write about it unless you come to Jiangnan in person."

Of course, puffer fish... People in the Northland can't eat it in their entire lives.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Chen Shuda turned to the east and went to the province.

Yuwen Shiji brought Li Shan into the Zhongshu Province, and left after a few orders... Li Shan couldn't help muttering in his heart, why did he bring himself into the Zhongshu Province?
At this time, a familiar voice sounded beside him.

"Isn't this the famous Li Huairen?"

Li Shan sneered in his heart, what kind of fool would do something provocative at this time?

Although Li Shan is still young, although Li Shan's future is worrisome, although Li Shan is likely to fall into a whirlpool... But at the moment when a saint summoned him because of his diagnosis and treatment of Princess Pingyang, only fools would provoke him.

For such an idiot, Li Shan does not intend to let it go lightly... If he can grasp the scale, maybe there will be some disputes.

Uh, for example, when Cui Bo was beheaded last year, the scale was well controlled...otherwise Prince Li Jiancheng would really be impatient to recruit Li Shan under his command.

With a smile on his face, Li Shan turned around slowly... Then, all the smiles on his face froze.

What he saw was Cui Xin with a gloomy face.

After a while, Li Shancai realized that by the way, Cui Xinguan was in Zhongshusheren and was in Zhongshu Province.

"Meet Cui...Cui...Cui Gong."

Listening to Li Shan's incessant speeches about Cui Gong, Cui Xin's face became even uglier, and he waved his sleeves and said, "I'm just a meager person, how dare you call him a lord!"

Li Shan kept silent with a bitter face, could it be that he still called Uncle Cui like he did in Qinghe County?

At that time, you wanted to recruit a son-in-law, although I was not very interested...

Seeing that Li Shan didn't speak, Cui Xin intensified... He didn't speak out to reprimand, but pointed at Sang Huai, with yin and yang.

Li Shan really didn't dare to refute, he didn't even dare to defend... Thinking about it, it was indeed his own problem, what a cheap hand!
What to write about "I don't know where the human face is going, the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze", just write it, and let Zhang Wenguan send it... Li Shan heard the latter mention once that the young lady Cui has been grounded for a long time.

Li Shan stood there with blank eyes, listening to Cui Xin lowering his voice in front of him...Suddenly remembered that a roommate in the previous life said that after being drunk, this guy and his girlfriend didn't go to the hotel to save money, but went to the hotel to save money. At his girlfriend's house, during the fierce battle, suddenly his girlfriend's father came back.

Well, the situation is different, but the nature is similar.

"Others praise you as a young hero, but unexpectedly..." Cui Xin sneered, "You have not yet been crowned, but you have already taken a beautiful concubine. A young man who is greedy for sex will not last long!"

Well, remember that Mrs. Zhang visited Princess Pingyang twice, Mrs. Zhou was beside her at that time, and Li Shan blinked, "Cui...what do you mean by Cui Sheren?"

Cui Xinqi's nostrils were enlarged, and Li Shan called Cui Gong, which in his opinion was a clearing.

You kid wrote that kind of poem to my daughter, but now you want to call me Cui Gong?

Does that mean you don't want to be responsible?

The poor daughter is still looking forward to it!
Hey, in fact, Li Shan called Uncle Cui, and Cui Xin was even more angry... You shameless, you really want to cheat my daughter away with two crooked poems!

Over there, Yang Gongren and Yu Wenshi came from the corridor, and they couldn't help being taken aback when they saw such a scene.

"Li Shan's name is Huairen, but when you look at his actions, he has a lot of vigor." Yang Gongren shook his head and said, "Why are you so obedient?"

Yuwen Shiji, who knows Li Shan very well, is even more strange... You beheaded Cui Bo in Qinghe County, but now you look like this. Could it be that you want to reconcile with the Qinghe Cui family?
"Cui Sheren, this is..."

Cui Xin turned around, saluted, forced a smile and said, "It's an old acquaintance in Qinghe that day..."

Yang Gongren would not care about the dispute between Li Shan and Qinghe Cui, he nodded casually and walked away, but Yuwen Shiji stayed behind, "Huairen is young and energetic, and has many benevolent deeds. Cui Sheren should pay more attention to it." understanding."

Li Shan's decapitation of Cui Bo caused a disturbance in Chang'an...but as the details came out, the disturbance gradually subsided.

On the one hand, Li Shan is famous for his poetic talent, and on the other hand, it is because the Eastern Palace secretly suppressed... In the end, Li Shan killed Cui Bo to help the Eastern Palace.

"Brother Ren Ren said so." Cui Xin nodded expressionlessly, shit, this guy has secretly written letters with my daughter, and he still has the face to say something about benevolence and righteousness!
At this moment, the servants came to call, and Yu Wenshi and Li Shan walked out of Zhongshu Province side by side, and said in a low voice: "A few days ago, it was rumored that you killed Shi Wanbao with your own hands. This matter... Cui Hao should be involved."

Li Shan nodded slightly and did not speak.

Yu Wenshiji added: "Don't worry, His Majesty will not punish you for this matter."

Li Shan nodded again, thinking that of course Li Yuan would not punish him... He wished for such a thing that could weaken the reputation of a powerful family in name, he wished it could happen every day.

Suppressing aristocratic families is almost the responsibility and instinct of every emperor since the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

After entering the Taiji Palace, but not entering the palace, Li Shan walked around under the guidance of the servant, and looked around with great interest... When it comes to the imperial city in the feudal era, the most famous one is Chang'an, but it is a pity that these will not be seen in later generations .

Glancing at the not-so-magnificent but quite exquisite building in front of him, Li Shan squinted his eyes and looked at the plaque, the Hall of Liangyi.

He once heard Ling Jing mention that the Taiji Hall was used for the official court, and the Liangyi Hall was the place where saints, princes, and important ministers discussed their affairs. Li Yuan regarded it as a very important meeting here.

"My minister, Li Shan, pays homage to..."

"Huiren is here." Li Yuan raised his hand again and again, "Da Lang!"

They don't call Li Qing, but call them characters. Similar names only appear between Li Yuan and his very close veterans. For example, Li Yuan calls Pei Ji Pei Jian, Dou Kang his brother, and Xiao Yu's Zi Shiwen.

Li Jiancheng stepped forward to hold Li Shan by his arm, and said with a smile, "Today is a feast for the three of my father and son to thank each other. Huairen can't do this great gift."

"What Da Lang said is true." Li Yuan nodded and said, "Such medical skills are enough to be passed on to future generations."

"Pingyang has recovered, I will reward him heavily!"

Li Jiancheng said with a smile: "Father is a fool today, even the boy and Erlang don't know what reward the father has."

"If the reward is too light, the child will feel wronged for Huairen."

Li Shan gave way again and again, and glanced at Li Shimin who had been silent from the corner of his eye... Today, it seems that Li Jiancheng is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. He is not as brave as Li Shimin, but he is not inferior at all when playing with such methods.

In the end, Li Shimin chose to flip the table, perhaps there is also a reason for this...Gong Dou, that is Li Jiancheng's strength.

Li Yuan stroked his beard and pointed at Li Jiancheng, "This time Huairen has made a great contribution, I should give it to the Duke of the county and give food to a thousand households in the city."

Li Jiancheng was stunned, and the silent Li Shimin couldn't help but look in surprise... such a reward is really a bit exaggerated.

In the Li and Tang Dynasties, under the princes of the clan and the princes of the county, they were the princes of the state, the princes of the county, and the princes of the county.

In other words, Li Shan, the county magistrate, is already ranked third in the rank of courtiers, and there are a thousand households in the city... This is a reward that exceeds the county magistrate's specifications.

Generally speaking, there are 1000 to [-] households in the counties, [-] to [-] households in the county, and more than [-] households in the state. There are only [-] or [-] households in Shiyi.

Just now Li Jiancheng kept saying that he couldn't be lightly rewarded, but now he has nothing to say.

But to Li Jiancheng's surprise, Li Shan suddenly fell to the ground and said loudly, "I dare not accept this reward."

"Huiren?"

"The title is the most important weapon of the country, how can you reward your ministers for private affairs?"
