Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 407
Keeping a calm demeanor as much as possible, he went back to the door and sat in front of the desk all the time. Pei Shiju sighed softly, and took out the memorial of Li Gaoqian from the bottom after a moment of bewilderment.

Pei Shiju's eyes flickered, Cui Xin was born in the Qinghe Cui clan's eldest family, and his status in the clan was quite high, with his in-laws and old relatives all over the top clan... Li Shan, Li Shan, how can I allow you to climb up to the Qinghe Cui clan!
Today, although the five surnames and seven families are well-known families in the world, they have no established influence in the court, and they cannot pick out any outstanding figures. The descendants of the Taiyuan family, the Taiyuan Wang family, and the Boling Cui family are no better than the censor and the six ministers. Only Zheng Shanguo, the Duke of Xingyang County, was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs because he was born in the family of the prince's wife.

In the middle of the court, because the king of Qin appointed himself the Minister of Ministers, so when talking about Zaifu, Zhongshuling, the two servants under the door, plus Shangshuxing's left and right servants, there were only five ministers in total, and Wenxi Pei's western family house occupied two of them. A position... How many elites are angry about this, why Pei Shiju doesn't know.

If Li Shan climbed into Qinghe Cui's marriage, what would happen to Xi Pei's western family's house... Pei Shiju didn't even dare to guess.

Holding the memorial in his hand, Pei Shiju's eyes were dark, Cui Xin, I can't blame me for this!

Today, Pei Shiju cleverly used the relationship between Cui Xin's daughter and Li Shan's gossip, and successfully launched Cui Xin, a close minister of the emperor. Why is this so?

Then ask Choi Shin himself.

After being humiliated twice, especially after the rumor that Li Dewu recommended Li Shanbei to join Hebei Road last year, Pei Shiju has been thinking... Who else knows about this?
It is certain that Yuwen Shiji and Princess Nanyang knew about it, but Pei Shiju also vaguely guessed that what Yuwen Shiji did was related to his abandoning his wife and son a few years ago, and had nothing to do with government affairs.

Pei Shiju was wondering if Princess Pingyang and his wife would know... This is Li Shan's most stable and direct backer in the court.

But after observing for a long time, Pei Shiju didn't notice that Princess Pingyang was abnormal. Instead, he noticed something abnormal about Cui Xin, a member of Zhongshushe from Zhongshu Province.

Before, Pei Shiju didn't think that Li Shanneng could climb to such a noble family as Qinghe Cui, until he began to suspect that Cui Xin knew the inside story.

For this reason, Pei Shiji resorted to many means to test it out. Cui Xin's second son married a daughter of the Li family in Zhaojun, and died of illness in June this year. The child refused on the grounds of heartbreak.

This is an inappropriate reason... Even if the second son of Cui Xin's second son is really heartbroken, Qinghe Cui will not refuse this marriage, at least Cui Xin will not. Such a quick face-to-face refusal.

Pei Shiju immediately confirmed that Cui Xin not only knew the inside story, but also intended to betroth his daughter to Li Shan...otherwise Cui Xin's reaction would not be so quick and decisive.

Father and son are all the same, shameless!

Hey, if Li Shan knew that Pei Shiju thought so, he would definitely spit out the drool on this old guy's face... Li Dewu is shameless, I call it a work of heaven!

Although Li Shan thought about not marrying a powerful family at the very beginning, he finally realized that this is almost impossible... Marrying a commoner woman, mother would not agree, Zhu Wei, Ling Jing would not agree, Princess Pingyang would not agree , even the sages Li Yuan and Li Shimin would not agree.

That being the case, we have to choose a good one... Unfortunately, the surname is Li, and he was born in a century, so he can't be a princess anyway, otherwise Li Shan thinks it would be good to wait for Li Shimin's daughter.

The choice of Miss Cui was partly because of the Furong Garden, a work of Tianhe, and partly because of Miss Cui's determination before her parents, which made Li Shan admire.

In addition, among the world's top clans, the only one who had a major conflict with Li Shan was the Qinghe Cui family... The beheading of Cui Bo's head allowed Li Shan to draw a line in advance in this marriage and try to ensure his own independence. .

As for the 11-year-old Miss Cui, who is beautiful even though she is not in bloom... Li Shan has never considered it.

Various thoughts swirled in Pei Shiju's mind, and he slowly stuffed the memorial to the bottom... Chen Shuda would not take away the memorial that he had seen.

After slowly pacing out of the door, Pei Shiju went straight home, thinking over and over in his heart that now is not the best time.

Need to wait, wait.

Moreover, it is necessary to find someone to stand in front... Regarding this point, Pei Shiju already has a candidate.

Anyway, today the old man only said that the emperor might be able to send a close minister to appease him. It was His Majesty and Zhongshu who ordered Yang Gongren to order Cui Xin's general... On the surface, it has nothing to do with the old man.

That night, Pei Shiju, the old fox, thought a lot, but Cui Xin didn't think so much, and even lost his temper.

In the afternoon, I was called by the Zhongshu order Yang Gongren to explain, and then I went to the palace to meet Li Yuan, who praised Li Shan frequently, and Princess Pingyang and Li Jiancheng at the side gave their best... Cui Xin's face turned dark at that time. Marry Li Shan!

After leaving the palace, Cui Xin sent a letter home, and asked a few colleagues to inquire about it... His face became even darker.

"Father."

Looking at Yingying's daughter who bowed down, Cui Xin forced a smile. For the sake of her daughter, he really couldn't tell the truth... Whatever "Humble Room Inscription" tells his aspirations, that little bastard is lying!
"How could it be Mr. Lang who fortified the frontier?" Mrs. Zhang frowned and asked the servants to bring the freshly brewed tea.

Cui Xin took a sip of his tea, and there was no expression on his face... It can't be said that His Majesty wanted to show kindness to Li Shan, and the marriage between the two families did it deliberately.

"Sixth younger brother, seventh younger brother, and Xiaofang's entourage in Chang'an all summoned to protect You Langjun, there are more than a hundred people, but most of them have not participated in the battle." Zhang hesitated: "Xiaofang's suggestion, Please send guards from the Eastern Palace..."

"No need." Cui Xin shook his head while holding a teacup, "This time I'm going to Mayi, and I have Li Shan, the county magistrate."

"Li Shan?" Mrs. Zhang was stunned, "What is he going to do?"

Cui Xin glanced at his wife, "Yuan Junzhang came to surrender, Li Shanshi has made great achievements, and the saint is favored, how can he sit back and watch his great achievements fall by the wayside?"

Mrs. Zhang faintly sensed something... Her husband's departure was still in Li Shan's favor, or it was deliberately done by a saint.

Cui Xin continued: "The king of Huaiyang is now leading an army to garrison Daizhou. Huairen and him are close friends, and there is no need to borrow guards."

Mrs. Zhang could hear it, but Mrs. Cui was too young to understand it at all. She only knew that Li Shan was with her when her father went this time.

After driving her daughter back, Mrs. Zhang asked in a low voice, "The sage intends to..."

Cui Xin knew what his wife was asking, and nodded slightly after hesitating for a moment... Judging from Li Yuan's attitude today, when Li Shan returns to Beijing in the future, Li Yuan is very likely to marry the two families.

After the husband and wife talked for a while, Cui Xin walked to the daughter's boudoir in the backyard. As soon as he entered the door, he saw all kinds of things on the table, including a treasure bag for going out, and a small and exquisite tea set. Warm... or my daughter is caring.

"Going to the frontier fortress for state affairs, I also ask my father to pay attention to himself on the way, so as not to worry his family."

"It's okay, it's okay." Cui Xin deliberately laughed and said, "What's more, even if you occasionally feel cold, you still have Huairen's skillful hand."

In fact, Cui Xin also knew that this was nonsense, and he had been deliberately looking for news about Li Shan... Although this man saved the life of Princess Pingyang, he was actually not good at common illnesses.

Cui Xin looked down at the salute prepared by his daughter on the table, couldn't help but shook his head and said: "That's all, go to the Northland, what are you doing with the tea set?"

Miss Cui's cheeks were slightly red, "I heard from my cousin that Mr. Li drank less tea on weekdays, and he didn't drink anything other than exquisite tea sets. Please father..."

The smile on Cui Xin's face gradually disappeared, and he raised his head to look at the ceiling, his eyes were dull, and his nose felt slightly sour.
