Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 304 The sky is high and the birds fly, the sea is wide and the fish leaps

Li Shan, Ling Jing, and Ma Zhou sat around the table with solemn expressions. It had been a while since such a scene had happened...the last time was the night when Li Shan escaped from Princess Pingyang's mansion.

Li Shan recounted what he had seen and heard today, and Ma Zhou was the first to speak.

"Even if the Pei clan of Hedong is now a double-faced family, it is impossible to make it public." Ma Zhou said softly, "For one thing, Pei Shiju is quite a good-looking man, and he is rumored to love his daughter dearly, so he will not leak this matter. Secondly, Huairen is not an insignificant pawn."

Li Shan had thought about this for a long time, nodded and said: "Even if the sage really sent someone to serve in the Six Departments, he doesn't want no merit, just no fault..."

"After all, he was named Duke of the County..." Ma Zhou murmured, "He, Pei Shiju, is nothing more than a Duke of the County."

Li Shan shook his head, "Pei Shiju, Pei Ji can't do anything... at least they can't do anything directly..."

Ling Jing on the side nodded slightly. He knew what Li Shan meant. The key was that once the matter was leaked... the attitudes of Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and others changed.

One is a young man who is a bit important now, has made military exploits, and is famous for his poems, but has not officially entered the officialdom after all, while the other is a prominent family in Hedong.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Pei family was quite powerful, and their connections were quite extensive...Not to mention the East Palace, even in the Tiance Mansion, there were many in-laws.

Ma Zhou pondered for a while, "Pei Huaijie enters Tiance Mansion, can His Royal Highness King Qin give instructions?"

Li Shan has no expression on his face, which is also the key to his worries now... Facts have proved that Li Shimin will not refuse the Pei family's intentional overtures, which shows Li Shimin's attitude.

From a certain point of view, Li Shanneng understood Li Shimin's choice, but from his own standpoint... it was a bit unbearable.

Li Shan couldn't help but got up and took a few steps, pushed open the window, and the night wind whizzed past, making the window crackle.

"It's impossible to go back now..." Li Shan said with a wry smile: "The fate of a saint is not so easy to shirk."

"The crown prince tried his best to recruit, but the king of Qin watched coldly..."

"Once things get out..."

After a long silence, Ling Jing said softly: "Fang Xuanling can see that others may not be able to."

It was only at this time that Ma Zhou heard something, and couldn't help but sigh... This young man in front of him has made a great reputation in the past two years, and has caused so many things. It seems that he has skyrocketed to [-] miles, but in fact he is like duckweed in the rain.

In the beginning, Li Shan was only facing Pei from Hedong.

But after the war in Shandong, the fame of the imperial examination, and the efforts to save Princess Pingyang won the favor of the sage, what Li Shan faced was the battle for the heir apparent that gradually swallowed him up.

Once this matter is exposed, Li Yuan may be alienated, and the Crown Prince and the King of Qin may be suppressed or expelled because of the Hedong Pei family...

"If I had known this earlier, I should have become a long history under the command of Princess Pingyang!" Ma Zhou clicked his tongue twice.

This is Fang Xuanling's suggestion, and it is also the last retreat that Li Shan found out after thinking about it all day... If he shrinks his head and hides behind Princess Pingyang, he even tells the whole story.

But then Ma Zhou shook his head again and said, "Even if he is the head of Princess Pingyang's mansion, his official career will be bumpy in the future..."

Li Shan sneered, what time is this, why are you still thinking about your official career? !

Ling Jing, who had been staring at the table, suddenly remembered something, turned around slowly, and looked directly at Li Shan, "The blue sky is going straight up, and you are in the court."

"Maybe you hate Pei's family in Hedong, or even share your mother's worries?"

"Or rich in the world, happy and carefree?"

"Or assist the King of Qin to create a prosperous world?"

Ling Jing narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Huai Ren, what exactly do you want?"

Li Shan stared blankly at the old man, countless thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and he became a little dumb for a while, "So... so..."

"Looking at what Huairen did and said two years after he arrived in Chang'an, he bravely forged ahead through hardships and ups and downs, it seems exciting, but in fact he was in the dark." Ling Jing's voice was a little hoarse, "Huairen, what do you want?"

After a short moment of astonishment, Ma Zhou stared deeply at Li Shan, indeed.

Today's Ma Zhou is already one of his own people after his trip to Shandong. Because he has been here longer, he knows more about the inside story than Ling Jing, and he has the same feeling.

The reason for choosing the imperial examination is to avoid the Pei family in Hedong.

He made friends with the children of Prince Qin's mansion because of the fight in Changlepo.

Conquering the army in Hebei and Shandong is because of the successive methods of Li Qianyou and Li Dewu.

In a desperate situation, he tried his best to turn the tide because he was cornered by Liu Heitai.

He became famous for his poetic talent because Li Dewu blocked all other roads.

The diagnosis and treatment of Princess Pingyang was recommended by the crown prince, and the sage came in person, and Li Shan had no possibility of refusing.

Time and time again, Li Shan seems to be soaring, and his weight seems to be getting heavier day by day, but he is always pushed forward, and he himself has no clear direction.

Li Shan stood there motionless with his head down, and in the long silence, he was also reflecting on his every move in the past two years.

The identity of a time traveler made me jump out of this circle, but the same identity of a time traveler made me wear a shackle... I always felt that Li Shimin would rule the world, and I always felt that Li Jiancheng would die.

After knowing that Pei Shiju was concurrently the crown prince Zhan Shi and that Pei Ji was attached to the East Palace, he unconsciously wanted to take advantage of the general situation to clear away the obstacles in front of him.

Fear of wolves before, fear of tigers later, the current embarrassment... In the final analysis, it was created by myself.

It was I who unconsciously took the initiative to get involved... It was I who secretly lured Li Dewu into the East Palace, and it was I who made Zhang Wenguan rush to Beijing to secretly inform Li Shimin when he was planning the war in Shandong.

Although the window was opened and the night wind was blowing, Li Shan felt sweat all over his body, which was very wet and uncomfortable... He suddenly pulled his clothes, feeling an urge to take off all his clothes.

Coming to the Wude period before the Xuanwu Gate Change, as a traveler who knows the direction of history, high-ranking officials and generous salary, ranking in the imperial court, these are as it should be... But do I really want these so urgently?
At least, Li Shan, who has already been crowned Duke of Guantao County, is not in a hurry.

Assisting the King of Qin, making contributions... This is the natural thought of the traverser holding his thigh, and this is also one of the reasons why Li Shan is in distress now.

Taking a deep breath, Li Shan tentatively said: "Take a step back, the sea and the sky are brighter?"

A smile appeared on Ling Jing's old face, "Break out of the shackles, there is a lot to do."

"Not bad, not bad..." Li Shan gritted his teeth and said, "You want someone to fall into this vortex, I just grab a rope and jump out!"

Ma Zhouchi asked: "Outside?"

Of course, it is outside, as long as you avoid Hebei, Shandong, Shandong Road, and Yizhou Road, you will not fall into this whirlpool again... Generally speaking, the main battlefield of this battle for the heir apparent is still in Chang'an.

"Even if you enter the sixth department, you can still find a chance to release it." Ling Jing said softly: "Once it is released, everything will disappear... At least for two or three years, there will be no worries."

"It's only two or three years."

Li Shan glanced at Ma Zhou, thinking that two or three years would be enough... The butterfly he traveled through history fanned the trajectory of history, but now Li Jiancheng has no military exploits to pacify Liu Heitai, he is afraid that his mood will become more unstable, and he urgently needs to stabilize the East Palace position.

If there is a Xuanwu Gate change in this life, then it should be in advance rather than postponed.

At some point, it began to rain lightly, and the night wind mixed with raindrops hit Li Shan's head and face.

With his mind settled, his worries and worries dispelled, and his mind refreshed, Li Shan opened his arms to welcome the oncoming rain, and said softly: "The sky is high for birds to fly, and the sea is wide for fish to leap!"
