Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 456

Two days ago, Li Yuan decided to add Li Shan to the history of the acting governor, and temporarily take charge of the restored Daizhou Governor's Mansion. The news should not have spread to Daizhou so quickly, and the journey of this letter...

What happened... Ling Jing's face turned cold, he reached out to take the letter, and opened it sideways.

Master Li Ke is alright, both Chai Shao and Cui Xin moved slightly, one must know that Ling Jing is now in charge of the Tiance Mansion, and is one of Li Shimin's confidantes in the shogunate.

Cui Xin raised Ling Jing's importance in his heart, but he also knew that Ling Jing had joined King Qin's command as early as the end of the Shandong War, and he would recover the lost land with Li Daoxuan, Tian Liu'an and others to comfort the local area.

In fact, Cui Xin is not afraid of Li Shan joining the Tiance Mansion, after all, he himself is the only one among the Qinghe Cui family who did not join the East Palace, and among his in-laws are the Jingzhao Du family and Qinghe Fang family.

After reading the ten lines at a glance, Ling Jing's expression slowed down, and he handed the letter to Cui Xin with a smile, "I just said that I regret that Huairen didn't arrive today, unexpectedly..."

Cui Xin glanced at it, clicked his tongue twice, thought for a while and handed it to Zhang Wenguan, and pouted his chin outward.

In the side hall on the other side, the maids and servant girls were all kicked out. Mrs. Zhu cooked tea herself, and Mrs. Cui was helping at the side. Wen shi added a few words from time to time.

The engagement is already a certainty, but there are still many things that need to be understood by each other... Marriage is not just a couple, it also involves two families, or even two families.

Mrs. Zhang was instructed by her husband beforehand, so she didn't ask Li Shan's parents and grandparents, but only asked about various other trivial matters...such as where she lived.

Mrs. Changsun said softly, "It's in Yanshoufang. The property was transferred after the imperial examination. It occupies quite a large area, but it needs to be refurbished."

Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment. Yanshoufang was located in the southwest corner of the imperial palace, close to the West Market...it was a good location that even the family could not get.

"Huairen bestowed the noble county duke with His Majesty's grace, and granted five hundred households. Today, Sun Moon Lake is the Zhuangzi of the Li family." Changsun said with a smile: "The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and the layout of the Zhuangzi in the past two years is also written by Huairen."

Cui was surprised and said: "Just now when I climbed the mountain, I saw that the diversion canal is curved, the water dragon is splashing, and the stars are dotted. Is it Li Langjun's handwriting?"

"From the spring on the mountain down to Ritan in the west of the village, the diversion canals are all over the village, so it is very convenient to get water, all the way to Yuetan in the east of the village, and then converge into the Jing River." Changsun said softly: "Jiangnan water village is rare in the north. very."

Wen's age is not very old, only seventeen or eighteen years old, she said with a charming smile: "Sister Cui can change lives."

Mrs. Zhang's eyes lit up. The most difficult thing is between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. If Mrs. Zhu lived in Sun Moon Lake and her daughter lived in Yanshoufang, it would be much more comfortable if Mrs. Zhang married into Cui's family back then. , suffered a lot of grievances in this regard.

As for other aspects, Mrs. Zhang is not easy to ask, Mrs. Sun insists on her own identity, and Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Wen, the two younger generations, talk about it in a low voice... Anyway, there is money and land, there are people under the family who have a house, and there is nothing lacking, so they will definitely not be affected. Wronged.

At this time, Miss Cui came over with a tea tray.

Changsun looked at it and said with a smile, "Sure enough."

Miss Cui blushed, "Auntie orders tea."

"Practice makes perfect." Zhu smiled, "This is a small way, if you get started, it will be very fast."

Mrs. Zhang once heard Zhang Wenguan mention that Mrs. Zhu is good at cooking and ordering tea, but seeing it today, it turned out to be true. He bit all six cups of tea, which is indeed close to Taoism.

Tea cooking skills... a poor family wants to learn and there is nowhere to learn, Zhang can't help being a little curious, there is a Zhu family in the world, there is a famous Zhu family in Jiangnan, but this one is obviously not from Jiangnan, I remember Changsun mentioned that he was born in Guanzhong.

After chatting for a while, Wen asked curiously: "Sister Cui, is that ruby ​​going to be a golden step or set on the crown?"

"That's right." Cui said with a smile: "The engagement letter also requires a dowry...then the ruby ​​is the dowry?"

While talking, Zhang Wenguan came in with a smile when the maid outside reported, "Auntie, Brother Huai has sent a letter."

Before Mrs. Zhang could ask, Zhang Wenguan handed over the letter, and after only looking at it for a few times, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but look at his daughter.

The Changsun family on the side took the letter paper and recited softly: "There are several plum blossoms in the corner, and Ling Han opened them alone. I knew it wasn't snow, so there was a faint fragrance."

The Cui family was born in the Cui family of Boling, and she couldn't help sighing: "Talk about four sentences, which seem simple, but are actually profound. These lines are the betrothal gift."

"This poem can be used as a dowry gift, or as a gift to my cousin, and it's also a self-report." Zhang Wenguan paused, and then continued: "Brother Huai is kind to others, gentle and refined, and interacts with others like a spring breeze, but in fact he has an arrogance in his heart."

Mrs. Changsun nodded slightly, and looked at Mrs. Zhu, "Miss Zhu raised a good boy."

Zhu's figure is tall and straight, looking forward to brilliance, such a son looks too good to her... Although she still doesn't know where her son's poetic talent comes from.

After all, Zhang Wenguan was still young, so Mrs. Zhang simply kept him, and asked about everything in detail... Uh, Zhang Wenguan was naturally bragging, which made Mrs. Zhu feel a little embarrassed.

In the side hall on the other side, Li Keshi suddenly said: "How many days will my cousin stay in Dai County?"

"About four or five days." Cui Xin said casually, "I heard that Dai County was ruined earlier, but now it's not the old view. Huairen's administration is like spring wind and rain. People say that they have never seen such parents in this life."

Li Keshi hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "Huiren Jia acts as the governor of the state, and is in charge of the governor's office of the state. There are many trivial matters, and he is in charge of Yanmen, preparing troops, aiding Mayi, and resisting the Turks..."

Ling Jing understood as soon as he heard it, "Does Demou have any intentions?"

Li Kai, who was sitting silently beside him, nodded lightly, "Seeing that Huairen has made great achievements, this junior wants to make a difference."

Li Shan is in charge of Daizhou General Manager's Office, it is impossible to focus on Dai County again, it is necessary to re-appoint Dai County magistrate... Li Kai is his best friend, and he is also the younger brother of the Li Family Danyang House in Longxi, so naturally there is this qualifications.

Cui Xin thought for a while, then said hesitantly, "If the Turks break through and enter, it will be very dangerous."

"Huairen is also in Daizhou, what are you afraid of?" Li Kai raised his head and said, "You should join hands with Huairen."

"The restoration of Daizhou General Manager's Office, apart from Chang Shi, Yiyang County Company and Sima, there is another reason." Ling Jing said slowly: "Your Majesty dismissed the general manager of the East Road Army, and appointed the King of the City as the Bingzhou General Manager... The state will inevitably send more soldiers."

"Besides Su Dingfang, I'm afraid there are quite a few generals going north." Chai Shao said, "Pingyang has already decided to let Ma Sanbao enter Dai Prefecture."

Cui Xin also understands this sentence. There are too many empty spaces in Daizhou, and the East Palace and Tiance Mansion will be filled with people, so Princess Pingyang supports Li Shan, not only sending Su Dingfang away, but also Ma Sanbao. .

After all, Li Shan is only the history of the acting governor, and in the absence of the governor of the acting state, Li Yuan is unlikely to confer on Li Shan or others as the General of the Twelve Guards. Second only to the general, he is qualified to lead the army.

Ling Jing glanced at Li Kai again, "On behalf of the county magistrate, you must seek virtue."

If Li Shan does not step down as acting magistrate, no one has any reason to persecute him, but if it is Li Kai who is his close friend, there is a possibility of success... Obviously, Li Kai represents the power of Tiance Mansion.

Cui Xin was stunned, he didn't expect that, forcing Yuan Junzhang to surrender, expelling Li Shenfu, Li Shan was promoted to three ranks in a row, and took charge of acting state governor as a long history... but it made his surroundings become a battlefield for the succession.

In the past six months, Li Shan has moved freely among Turkic, Yuan Junzhang, Li Shenfu, Li Gaoqian, and Liu Shiran, but I'm afraid it won't be so smooth next year.
