Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 43
Zhujiagou in the early morning is shrouded in misty rain and fog.

The sound of pattering rain echoed in my ears, and the sound of raindrops hitting the tiles was so pleasant and familiar, it reminded Li Shan of the days when he lived in the backyard of the tofu workshop in the countryside in his previous life.

It's a pity that when Li Shan is admitted to university and then returns to his hometown, it is already difficult to find houses with tiles in the countryside.

"Lang Jun..."

"Shh."

Pushing open the window, Xiaoman smiled coquettishly and whispered in Li Shan's ear, who was listening to the rain, "Is your lord listening to the rain and distinguishing the flute?"

"Is there a bamboo on the top of the head?" Li Shan, who was still lying on his stomach, took the egg and rolled it on the eye sockets, "Chang'an has always been the ancient capital of various dynasties. I heard that Qin bricks and Han tiles can be used to make inkstones."

"Lang Jun, Xiaoman can do it." Xiaoman snatched the egg, "Chengni inkstone?"

Did Chengni Inkstone exist in the Tang Dynasty?

Li Shan was a little curious. The Chengni inkstone is one of the four famous inkstones, and it is said that it was developed from the tile inkstone.

"Cough cough." There was a coughing sound from outside the door.

"lady."

"Mother is here."

"Don't get up." Mrs. Zhu put away her umbrella, ordered Xiaoman to go out, and said in a low voice: "This time the trouble is too big, I'm afraid..."

"That man insists that he has no heir...Even if Li Shan's name is famous, he dare not stand up." Li Shan sneered twice before sighing: "I just don't know if Pei Shiju knows the details."

Zhu's face was also deeply sad, "If you got the first place in the imperial examination, the Pei family would not dare to be blatant, but now..."

"It may not be a bad thing." Li Shan snorted, "Pei Shiju has gone through three dynasties, and he must have thought it over carefully, and he will not be rash, let alone publicize this matter, let alone Li Dewu."

Seeing his mother's bewildered expression, Li Shan explained: "Brother Demou and Brother Xiaoqing will let the news about his visit today."

"Li Zhaode's father is the head of the Qi Palace, and Li Demou's father is the commander of the Qin Palace."

"The imperial prince seized the throne, Chang'an order changed hands, and now there is news that the King of Qin appreciates me a lot..."

"Admiration?" Zhu was very puzzled.

"Rumors are just rumors." Li Shan coughed twice.

Yesterday, Li Kai and Wang Renbiao came together again and discussed with Li Shan for a long time. The rise of fame cannot be concealed. Even if Li Shan's name is not widely spread in Beijing, it will definitely fall into the ears of many officials.

It is unrealistic to hope that Li Dewu or Pei Shiju will turn a deaf ear to it. We can only force the name Li Shan into it...

The facts are even better than what Li Shan guessed, and much better.

Pei House.

Pei Ji, who was visiting, was smiling and talking to Pei Shiju about the incident the day before yesterday. The children of Prince Qin's family had lost such a big face. In just two days, the matter had already spread in Beijing. Of course, the main focus was on the children of Prince Qin's family losing face.

Although he didn't have a clear position, Pei Ji, who had a close relationship with Li Jiancheng, was happy to see his success.

For a hero like Pei Ji, if he is steady and unbiased, he will be able to stay rich and honored for a long time. There is no need to choose between the East Palace and the King of Qin.

However, Li Shimin has been fighting abroad all year round, and Li Jiancheng has been in Beijing all year round. Pei Ji hopes that Li Jiancheng will inherit the great treasure as a matter of course... In the Qin Palace, how many staff and generals only work in the Tiance Palace, not in the court. Have to give it to them?
Pei Xuanji, who was sitting next to him, smiled and asked: "I heard that this person is from the Li family in Longxi, and has close contacts with Li Kai and Li Zhaode. I don't know if he is Danyang Fangfang's brother."

Pei Ji nodded and said: "It should be Danyang Fangfang's brother. Danyangfang's generation has served in the Qin Palace, some served in the Qi Palace, and there are also impartial people."

"Li Yaoshi is worthy of his uncle Han Qinhu's praise, he will eventually become a famous general of his generation, but it is said that he once entered Qin Palace?"

"In the third year of Wude, the crown prince and the King of Qin went south to conquer Wang Shichong, and Li Pharmacist went out with the army, but finally returned without success. After that, Li Pharmacist left the Qin Palace."

During the reign of Wude, Li Shimin's military exploits were too great, and once he went to war, he was basically the supreme commander. There were very few military generals in the court who made meritorious service under his command. generals.

Pei Xuanji coughed twice, "It is said that during the battle the day before yesterday, Changsun Wuji's eldest son...the Palace of Prince Qin invited an imperial doctor to treat him, but today he heard rumors that King Qin appreciated Li Shan very much."

"The King of Qin has always favored Yingjie." Pei Ji snorted, "This is to win over Danyang Fang."

"Every family is like this." Pei Shiju smiled and said: "Such a young hero can be called both civil and military. It is common for the King of Qin to be happy when he sees Liexin."

Pei Shiju knew that his son-in-law had a son in Lingnan, but he didn't know the name Li Shan.

Li Dewu, who was next to sit with him, quietly let out a long sigh of relief, took a sip from the cold tea cup, and was finally sure that it was definitely not his son.

Abandoning wives and children, in fact, these are two things.

Abandoning a wife is one thing, abandoning a son is another.

Li Dewu said to himself in his heart, if it weren't for your inability to write or write, I would not give up!

The plan of Li Shan, Wang Renbiao, and Li Kai...well, it can't be said that it didn't work, but at least it didn't have the effect Li Shan expected.

Li Shanben intends to change hands with the Chang'an order even if his identity is leaked, so that King Qin can appreciate two things to restrain the Pei family.

Now that the prospect of seizing the heir apparent is unclear, even if he is just a young man who has ties to both Qi Wangfu and Qin Wangfu, a scheming person like Pei Shiju will not take it easily.

But unexpectedly, Pei Shiju didn't know Li Shan's name at all, and Li Dewu quickly judged that it was just the same name and surname.

After Pei Ji went out and returned home, Li Dewu beckoned to Wu Zhong, "I went to Dongshan Temple last year, did I meet a man whose surname is also Li Mingshan."

"I've never seen it before. I was seeking scriptures that day, and I entered the temple not long ago." Wu Zhong lowered his head to hide his flickering eyes.

"The same name and surname, but they are so different." Li Dewu sighed with emotion.

Wu Zhong sent Li Dewu to the inner courtyard, turned around and went out to inquire about the news. After hearing a few rumors that he didn't know were true or not, he couldn't help wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

In this era, there are many people with the same name and surname, but they happen to be in Chang'an, and they happen to be from Chengji County, Longxi County.

Wu Zhong didn't quite understand why Li Dewu wasn't vigilant?

When the news came back to Zhujiagou, Li Shan smiled and said to Zhu: "Is it true that the child is not capable of writing or martial arts?"

Zhu's expression was stern, and he didn't say a word.

"Chang'an Ling changed hands, ruining his bright future. The new Chang'an Ling Li Qianyou's son Li Zhaode happens to be a good friend of the boy, so he can't be aware of it..." Li Shan shook his head and said: "The qualifications are mediocre, so it can be called a stupid word. Mother was wrong back then."

Mrs. Zhu got up abruptly, stared at her son, and turned away after a while.

"Why are you so angry?" Li Shan murmured in his heart, he is not yet 30 years old this year, so it is not difficult to remarry.

Li Shan had been thinking about this for a long time, but he still couldn't choose any suitable person. Today, he just talked about it casually, but Mrs. Zhu became furious... Could it be that he still wants a memorial archway?

Over there, Xiaoman came in with the food in his hands. While chewing unwillingly, Li Shan thought in his heart that he could live on for a while longer.

Well, except for the restaurant, everything else is put on hold for now, just study.
