Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 280 The reason
In the Hall of Liangyi, Cui Xin talked endlessly about the duties of Zhongshu Sheren, and denied the possibility of Li Shan being Zhongshu Sheren from all aspects.

Li Yuan had an unswerving look on his face. As the founding emperor, he did not lack the determination to kill and attack, but he was different from other founding emperors in many ways... For example, Li Yuan was more magnanimous in accepting advice.

For example, Sun Fujia, a Jinshi who was in the same discipline as Li Shan, was able to become Yushi Zhongcheng because of his repeated admonitions.

Li Jiancheng was a little nervous... Well, he thought that he asked Li Yuan to give the name Yuhuchun first, and then strongly recommended Li Shan to treat Princess Pingyang. He has done a lot of favors. If Li Shan can be a member of Zhongshushe, it will be a big help.

Li Shimin is very indifferent to this, he really doesn't care about these things

Therefore, Li Jiancheng opened his mouth to argue for Li Shan, and even brought out Li Shan's poetry... Li Shan felt stuffy in his chest, and could only look up at the roof of the hall.

To be honest, Li Shanzhen feels sad for Li Jiancheng!

This unlucky prince, I was the one who messed up the military achievements in history, so you still have to be gentle and courteous!
Well, Huairou is Huairou, but look what you have done!
Please Li Yuan give me the name Yuhuchun... As a result, Du Yan and I had an enmity, and the restaurant was sealed off. Luckily, we failed the imperial examination. I don’t know what will happen in the future!
And it also caused Fang Xuanling to abandon his job... When Li Shan was working on Yuhuchun, he only wanted to make a fortune, but he never expected to cause so much trouble!

Later, Li Jiancheng recommended Li Shan to treat Princess Pingyang... Li Shan really wanted to slap this self-righteous bastard in the face!
Now, Li Jiancheng has to fight for Li Shan as the Zhongshu Sheren!

Are you really trying to recruit me? !
Is it because I hate you to death? !

Li Shan knew very well that the position of Zhongshu Sheren was a fart in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and those with Jinshi backgrounds were unwilling to take up the position, but in the period of the three provinces and six ministries, Zhongshu Sheren was a noble and important position. Most of the Zaifu have served as Zhongshu Sheren.

If I become a member of Zhongshushe, I will definitely become a key figure for Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin brothers... If so, I might as well agree to go to Pingyang Princess Mansion as a long history.

Of course, the most important thing is that Zhongshu Sheren is in charge of drafting the edict... Li Shan really doesn't understand this aspect.

Over there, Li Jiancheng also kept saying that Li Shan was talented enough to take on the role...Yang Gongren smiled and said casually: "After returning to Beijing, I heard that Li Huairen's poetic talent is not as good as today..."

Li Yuan coughed twice, "Yang Qing should have heard that... Huairen has a nickname now, Li Scrutiny."

Uh, this was deliberately released by Li Shan, otherwise people would come to discuss poetry every day, and it would be over... How much effect it will have is hard to say, after all, Li Shan was imprisoned in Princess Pingyang's mansion soon.

Yang Gongren smiled and did not continue to say anything, but Cui Xin sneered and said: "I have heard about Li Shan for a long time, he has learned a lot, astronomy and geography, poetry, medicine and Taoism.

Li Shan kept looking up at the top of the hall, but his expression was a little stiff...Hey, you are endless!

Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng didn't feel anything yet, but Li Shimin keenly realized that something was wrong...Cui Xin's refutation today may be because he came from the Cui family of Qinghe, but Li Shan seems gentle and willing to back away, but he is by no means a A person who is beaten and scolded but does not fight back.

On that day, Changlepo was forced into a dead corner, and he stood up and fought, and the sons of Prince Qin's Mansion suffered a crushing defeat; Dongshan Restaurant faced Yuchi Baolin, retreated step by step, and knocked the opponent unconscious to the ground with three moves in the last.

Why are you so obedient today, with no intention of fighting back?
Li Shimin thought about it in his heart, and it looked like Li Shan had no intention of being a member of Zhongshushe, and was trying to stay away from the vortex that was getting closer.

Uh, this answer can't be wrong... It's just that the process of solving the problem is far from the topic.

Li Shan naturally understood Cui Xin's words... On the day when the Changsun family hosted a banquet, someone mentioned Li Shan, and Miss Cui asked for a poem, and the next day the song "Peach Blossoms Still Laughing in the Spring Breeze" was sent away.

What does it mean to just pick up a pen, and that's it.

Cui Xin was staring at Li Shan... You little bastard, you are preaching some scrutiny outside, but when it comes to the critical moment, you just pick a pen!
Yang Gongren coughed lightly twice... He was an outsider, and felt that his subordinate's words were getting more and more biased.

Cui Xin came back to his senses, and raised his voice: "Zhongshu Sheren ordered six people to be divided into six departments of Shangshu Province, and the minister will make a judgment."

"Li Shan is a man who is not yet a weak crown, how can He De bet on six?"

Yang Gongren nodded and said: "Your Majesty, we need to choose people carefully in this matter."

"Li Huairen has the merits of planning the war in Shandong, but at the beginning of his career, he became a member of Zhongshushe. This is not the right way to be a reserve."

Li Yuan's face brightened a little after hearing this...Yang Gongren recognized Li Shan's contribution and talent, and persuaded him with the imperial reserve.

But in fact, Yang Gongren also had his own intentions.

Although Shang Shu Zuo Pu She Pei Ji is now regarded as the prime minister because of his special status and special relationship with Li Yuan, in fact, for nearly a thousand years after the three provinces and six ministries system, Zhong Shuling, the chief minister of Zhongshu Province, was the real prime minister.

There were many reasons during this period, and the division of the six departments by Zhongshu Sheren was the key, which meant that Zhongshu Ling's hand could reach the Shangshu Province, and the six departments of the Shangshu Province were the key to the actual management of the government.

Yang Gongren didn't have any opinion on Li Shan, but he never wanted to see the power of Zhongshu Province be reduced because of Li Shan.

However, I remembered that my nephew had entered the list of Jinshi in this subject, and he seemed to have a close relationship with Li Shan. After Yang Gongren finished speaking, he turned his head and looked... What he saw was Li Shan's grateful gaze.

Li Jiancheng was a little disappointed, but he didn't continue to argue... He knew the changes in Li Yuan's mind best.

Cui Xin looked at Li Shan coldly, his eyes were a bit complicated... The latter cursed in his heart, back then in Qinghe County, this guy was gentle and refined, even if he killed Cui Bo himself, he didn't have the same eyebrows and straight eyes as he does now, he wouldn't Is it a daughter slave? !
Yang Gongren was about to step back when Li Yuan suddenly said, "Remember that Minister of the Ministry of Officials is the inspector?"

Yang Gongren froze for a moment, then nodded yes.

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry." Li Yuan ordered: "Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials... Yang Qing also serves as the inspector."

Li Shan lowered his head and stared at the gold bricks under his feet with all his heart, estimating in his heart how good the quality of gold bricks in this era is...

This is not good news for Li Shimin... Although Li Shimin has served as Minister of the Ministry for a long time, Zuo Pushe Pei Ji is in charge of most of the affairs of the Ministry of Ministers Yes, originally Feng Lun was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Officials, which could greatly enhance the power and responsibility of the Qin Dynasty's lineage in the Shangshuling, making Li Shimin's Shangshuling not just a title.

But now, Zhongshu ordered Yang Gongren to concurrently serve as Minister of the Ministry of Officials... What does this mean?
Does this mean to suppress Li Shimin?

Does it mean to warn Li Shimin?
Not necessarily, maybe just checks and balances.

Li Shan thought in his heart that Yang Gongren was born in the Hongnong Yang family, the son of Yang Xiong, the former king of Guan, who has never been biased in the court, and his political stance tends to be neutral. His niece is Princess Qi, but his niece is the side concubine of King Qin.

But why was it brought up today, such a big event...why was it brought up when I was still present?

Li Shan was ignorant and couldn't figure it out for a while... But Li Shimin probably guessed something.

Feng Lun Procurator, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, has long been a thorn in the side of the East Palace. It must be known that for hundreds of years from the Wei and Jin Dynasties to the present, the responsibility of public elections has always been the top priority of the affairs of the court.

In the former Sui Dynasty, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials could not arbitrarily decide the power of election. The emperor would select other important ministers to participate in the election. For example, during the Daye period, a total of seven people presided over the election together. They were called "Choose Cao Qigui". Ji's father, Yu Wenshu, Su Wei, the prime minister of the current dynasty, Yu Shiji, the minister of Zhongshu, Pei Yun, the doctor of imperial history, and Pei Shiju, the servant of Huangmen.

When Li Tang established the country, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials had the right to be arbitrary. After Feng Lun was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the East Palace repeatedly suggested that the selection of important officials should be resumed... Li Shimin judged in his heart that his father was probably still making trouble.

As for why it was mentioned today... it should be to find a reason.

Sure enough, Li Yuan waved to Li Shan and said, ""Moonlight on the Spring River" is a work handed down from generation to generation. If it fails the ranking, I will laugh at it for future generations."

A grateful smile appeared on Li Shan's face, and he quickly bowed... Well, there is another enemy in Tiance Mansion, who has changed from official secretary to industrial minister, can Feng Lun not hate it?
But will Feng Lun go find trouble with Du Yan?

No, he is a descendant of the Jingzhao Du family.

Therefore, it is very likely that he will find trouble with Ling Jing, who was born in a poor family... What a headache!

Cui Xin looked at this young man carefully... At that time in Shandong, he was able to make troubles, but he didn't expect to be able to make troubles even more when he returned to Chang'an. The song "Moonlight Night on the Spring River" made King Qin lose a minister. Does King Qin hate him? !

Daughter, why don't you change your target... This one is really troublesome!

After Yang Gongren and Cui Xin went out, Li Yuan beckoned Li Shan closer, "Qinghe Cui has made things difficult for you?"

Obviously, Cui Xin launched an attack today... Li Yuan immediately thought of Li Shan beheading Cui Bo.

Li Shan coughed twice, thought for a while and coughed again, his face was so crowded that he couldn't look at it, "Your Majesty...uncle, Cui Sheren acted justly in the matter of that day, he promised to return the land, let alone the elders of the clan forbid it, Then return it with private land."

"That……"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Li Shan coughed violently for a while, and said with a bitter face, "Uncle... can we not talk about this matter?"

Li Yuan glanced at Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, and asked suspiciously, "Why can't you say anything?"

"Nothing else..." Li Shan leaned forward.

Li Yuan tilted his ears, only to hear "I really can't say it."

"Private matter, private matter..." Li Shan sighed, "Why don't you wait until you have an idea before reporting to uncle?"

Li Yuan became even more suspicious, waved his hands and said, "Today I will hold a banquet to thank you, Dalang Erlang can go back."

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin looked at each other, both puzzled, and got up to leave.

Li Yuan's attitude towards Li Shan is so kind, and the reasons for this period are very complicated. The most important thing is of course that Li Shan rescued Princess Pingyang, and also rescued Li Daoxuan, a descendant of the clan who was valued by him, and even more importantly, he was responsible for planning the Shandong war... But the name Li Shan was first heard by Li Yuan because Li Shan beheaded Cui Bo of Qinghe Cui.

Li Yuan was originally from the wealthy Hedong family. Although, as the emperor, he had the instinct to weaken the power of the powerful family, he also knew very well that the only way to weaken it was by means of checks and balances... checks and balances require the other side's forces.

Therefore, when Li Yuan was in power, he deliberately divided the aristocratic families into two parts, one was the Hedong Guanzhong Longxi, such as the Liu family in Hedong, the Pei family in Hedong, the Wang family in Taiyuan, and the Li family in Longxi, and the other was the Shandong gentry, such as the Cui family in Qinghe. , Boling Cui, Fan Yang Lu and so on.

Therefore, among the seven families with five surnames, during the reign of Wude, there were almost no senior officials and dignitaries from the Shandong gentry. This was mainly because of Li Yuan's deliberate suppression.

Originally, in Li Yuan's mind, Li Shan, the young man who beheaded Qinghe's Cui family's children, would be a useful pawn in the future... Unexpectedly, he could save his most beloved daughter, which is so kind.

But now Cui Xin launched an attack, and Li Shan hesitated... Li Yuan was a little confused, this was the instinct of the superior.

"This matter sounds a bit..." Li Shan rubbed his hands together with a look of embarrassment, "After all, you are young, please don't blame uncle..."

"Well, after all, I'm young, so even if it's wrong, I don't blame it."

"What uncle said is true." Li Shan sighed, "That day he was quick-talking too...Unexpectedly, Zhang Wenguan was even quicker talking!"

Well, Li Shan does not recite this blame. You, Zhang Wenguan, owe me a favor. Come and help me recite it.

Li Yuan murmured: "I don't know where the human face is going, but the peach blossoms are still smiling at the spring breeze...the next day...so Cui Xinyan just writes?"

"No, you have an old relationship with Cui Xin's daughter?"

"Uncle!" Li Shan glanced at the palace servant not far away, "It was just looking at each other from a distance... I heard that Miss Cui was grounded."

"No wonder it's hard to say just now, the love of a child." Li Yuan's old face twitched, "Hui Ren intends to be Cui's son-in-law?"

Not to marry Cui's daughter, but to be Cui's son-in-law.

Li Shan naturally understood the difference, and immediately shook his head and said, "I didn't intend to do that that day, and later on there was the matter of beheading Cui Bo... It's just that the poem was sent by Zhang Wenguan, and Cui Xin loves his daughter very much..."

To put it simply, I had no intention of marrying Cui Xin's daughter, but I was about to compose a poem that day, and Zhang Wenguan told it to my cousin, Miss Cui, and then Cui Xin felt that I had flirted with his daughter...

Li Yuan hesitated, "Qinghe Cui family, a famous family in the world, do you want me to marry you?"

Li Shan was sweating profusely, and waved his hands again and again, "It's better for uncle to ignore it, and my nephew has no such intention."

Now it was Li Yuan who came up with the idea, "Cui Xin is a man of character, talent and learning, but his daughter is worthy of Huairen."

To put it simply, now Li Yuan has good intentions towards Li Shan, and regards him as his son and nephew, and does not use him as a pawn to fight against the powerful in the future... With a change of mind, he thinks this marriage is a good one.

"Let's talk about it in the future." Li Shan said in a low voice, "Please ask Uncle to keep it a secret. If this matter spreads, Cui Sheren might come to the door with a knife."

Li Yuan smiled, "It's up to you, if you want to give a marriage, just say so."

In Li Shan's mind, that young lady Cui can be used as a candidate... But the problem is that Li Shan does not plan to get engaged and get married during the Wude period.

In other words, even if a marriage is to be bestowed, it should be Li Shimin's business.

　I'm really sorry, I'm too busy these days, and it's the last update. It's a bit messy now. The holiday will start tomorrow, and normal updates should resume. During the Chinese New Year, there should be no interruption of updates.
