Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 457 The Stars Are Bright
In the past two years, the news of Li Shan's engagement with Qinghe Cui's daughter, which has grown from fame to world-famous, quickly spread throughout Chang'an. Except for a few who had feuded with Li Shan, even the Qinghe Cui clan had no objection... Although Just last year, Li Shan beheaded Cui Bo.

From Li Shan's own point of view, the marriage with the Qinghe Cui family was due to some accidental coincidence, but with his current weight, neither Li Yuan nor Princess Pingyang would allow him to marry a commoner woman. , King Qin may have to intervene in it.

Most of Qinghe Cui's officials are attached to the East Palace, and Cui Xin, as a member of Zhongshushe, is not involved in the matter of seizing the heir, but the closest few in-laws are all in Tiance Mansion... plus Miss Cui, this is Li Shan's helplessness. best choice.

From the perspective of the outside world, this young man who was unknown two years ago is now in a stable position in the court... Not only is His Majesty and Princess Pingyang backed, but Qinghe Cui is also behind him. plate.

Coupled with the fact that he holds real power in his hands... the acting governor Shi is in charge of the general manager's mansion, and Yanmen is close to the grasslands, so it is necessary to prepare for the Turks and station heavy troops. Although this young man who has not yet been crowned has a bad name, he is one of the best in the world. The powerful people who came out.

How could Donggong and Tiance Mansion not win over such a hero?
Therefore, in the following period of time, the Crown Prince and the King of Qin fought each other almost every day with red faces, and almost every day they changed their tricks to recommend their generals and school staff, and desperately went to Daizhou Cypriot.

Li Jiancheng secretly scolded Li Shimin for not wanting Bilian, and actually pushed out Li Kai, who is a close friend of Li Shan. Others really have no way to snatch this acting county magistrate... and the children of the East Palace have no friendship with Li Shan.

Li Zhaode, the son of Li Qianyou who was attached to Prince Qi's mansion, was still young, and Wang Renbiao, the concubine son of Princess Tong'an, who had a good relationship with the East Palace, could not become an official because his father Wang Yu was seriously ill.

At the same time, Li Shimin also secretly scolded Li Jiancheng for not wanting Bilian, and actually forcibly lost Liu Shirang's Daizhou Sima... After defeating the Turks, the Jinjue was demoted instead.

You must know that Li Shan has great kindness to Liu Shiran. If he is still the Sima of Daizhou, not to mention that it will be much easier for Li Shan to control the Daizhou Governor's Office. Li Shimin will definitely be able to win over Liu Shirang indirectly through Li Shan.

Until the Spring Festival approached, the dust finally settled... Li Shan, who received the official document on New Year's Eve, was almost dumbfounded.

"Huiren?" Ma Zhou on the opposite side was very surprised. We have known each other for more than a year, and we have gone through many ups and downs. It is not once or twice that we have been in a desperate situation. He has never seen the young man in front of him so moved... His hands are trembling slightly.

"I chopped off five heads, and sent Yu Sheshe's leather hat over... Pei Hongda should stay out of the way for the time being. Could it be possible that he will also send the children of the Pei family?"

Li Shan took a deep breath, scanned the official document again, and handed it to Ma Zhou.

Before Ma Zhou had time to look over, he heard Li Shan on the opposite side say loudly, "Bring some wine, let's have a few drinks."

Ma Zhou was even more surprised, it was still early in the evening, what kind of wine would he drink at this time... and he knew that although Li Shan had a capacity for alcohol, he seldom drank. .

"Don't drive Zhang Gongjin in Daizhou." Ma Zhou thought for a while, "This person heard Ling Bo mention that the governor of the former Wang Shichong was the governor, and he voted for the Tang Dynasty in the first year of Wude... By the way, the governor of Weizhou, Huairen, who came to vote with him Do you know who else is there?"

Li Shan shook his head dumbly... He didn't know much about the biography of this historical celebrity, but he was definitely one of the 24 Lingyan Pavilion heroes.

"Cui Shu of the Cui family's big house in Qinghe." Ma Zhou said with a smile, "King Qin chose such a character... He put a lot of thought into it."

Li Shan thought for a while, "How old is it?"

"About thirty."

"How is your temperament?"

Ma Zhou said strangely: "This man was brought into Qin Palace by Yuchi Jingde, he didn't serve in Tiance Mansion, he didn't boast of military exploits, and he didn't have a title. Is Huairen afraid that he won't be able to hold him down?"

Oh, at this time, Zhang Gongjin hasn't come out yet... Li Shan rubbed his nose and said with a forced smile: "I heard that this person is very brave and has the power to lift a boat."

That is, Li Shan has seen the Xuanwu Gate with his own eyes... To be able to close that gate alone, using the power of a tripod is probably not enough to describe it.

"The strength of a tripod?" Ma Zhou felt that Li Shan was so weird today, and his bravery was not necessarily a compliment in the army. For example, Wang Junhao's bravery refused to let Su Dingfang, but his military strategy was too bad...as brave as Su Dingfang Unparalleled, and there are very few characters who are proficient in the art of war.

Ma Zhou glanced down, "Daizhou Simaer Zhu Yichen... Needless to say, he must be under the command of the Eastern Palace."

Li Shan nodded in agreement, he was very kind to Liu Shirang, Li Shimin didn't need to change, it could only be Donggong's manipulation, but this surname...

Li Shan's eyes were deep, "Everyone who is going to Daizhou this time needs to find out the details, and I will ask Brother Bin Wang to take care of this matter."

"That's natural... Huairen, you have no one to use." Ma Zhou laughed without raising his head, "It is most appropriate for Demou to become an official this time, and to entrust him as the county magistrate... Uh, Xue Wanche will be appointed Into the military."

Another famous person in history, Li Shan swallowed his saliva, remembering that this fellow turned around and attacked the Qin Palace at the Xuanwu Gate, almost broke through the palace, wiped out Li Shimin's wives, concubines, and heirs, and then fled into the mountains... Of course he surrendered in the end, and Like Zhang Gongjin, they all participated in the battle to destroy the Eastern Turks.

"Why did the East Palace transfer this person to Daizhou?" Ma Zhou frowned, "This person is the fourth son of Xue Shixiong, the former Sui Zuoyuwei General. He entered the court together with his brother Xue Wanjun... Xue Wanjun threw himself into the palace of Prince Qin."

One is invested in the East Palace, the other is attached to the King of Qin... Li Shan is not surprised by the foundation of the aristocratic family, but it is impossible for him and Luo Yi to reconcile. Why did Li Jiancheng get Luo Yi's old department?
At this time, the personal guard brought the wine jar, and Xiaoman brought some side dishes.

Li Shan poured himself a drink, and in the blink of an eye, he drank two glasses of wine, "Daizhou is the gateway to the east of the river, preparing for the Turkic invaders, and enriching the general manager's office of Daizhou is the second, and the first is the garrison."

Ma Zhou nodded and glanced over, "This time, the court dispatched generals in the name of Zuo Wuwei. The leader is General Zuo Wuwei, Xinxing County male Ma Sanbao, and the Zhonglang will be Su Dingfang."

Li Shan rubbed his wine glass, he knew about these two people a long time ago, Du Xiao told him when he returned to Daizhou a few days ago, Su Dingfang just let it go, Princess Pingyang used a lot of effort to stuff Ma Sanbao.

You must know that since the defeat of Li Gaoqian, General Zuo Wuwei has been vacant all the time. Ma Sanbao went to Daizhou as General Zuowu. ...Maybe Li Yuan was afraid that seizing the heir would affect Daizhou's preparations for the Turks, or it might be that the Eastern Palace and Tiance Mansion fought too hard, so he chose Princess Pingyang.

Ma Sanbao once served as the prince's supervisor in the first year of Wude, and had a friendship with Donggong...Of course, he was originally a servant of the Chai family, and most of Chai Shao's military exploits were obtained under Li Shimin's command.

All in all, Ma Sanbao was able to take office mainly because of his peace.

Although later generations know the name Ma Sanbao mainly because of Zheng He who made seven voyages to the West, even in the early Tang Dynasty, the name Ma Sanbao was not low.
