Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 502
Li Shan had a bad guess in his heart. When he returned to Beijing from Shandong the year before last, he had considered that because Prince Li Jiancheng failed to capture and kill Liu Heikai to pacify Shandong, the conflict between the East Palace and the Prince Qin's Mansion was likely to be serious. It quickly intensified, leading to an early end to the battle for the heir apparent... Maybe there will be a change in the Xuanwu Gate, or it may be in other ways.

But this time when he returned to Beijing, Li Shan felt that if there was a change in Xuanwu Gate, it would probably be postponed.

In history, Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate Change, which has both internal and external reasons. Outside, Turks repeatedly invaded Hedong and Guannei Road, and inside, there were princes and King Qi aggressively. , ready to lead the expedition.

Just as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others said, if Li Shimin didn't fight hard, not only would the great cause be difficult to achieve, but Li and Tang dynasties would be in danger of being overthrown.

It can be said that after confirming that he could not enter the East Palace through normal means, Li Shimin decided to turn the table because of the coercion of the Turks and the Prince Qi.

But now, although he doesn't remember the specific details, Li Shan can be sure that in this life, the pressure exerted by the Turks on Li Tang is likely to be much weaker than in the original time and space.

For example, in this life, if the Turks fail to invade Hedong this year, it will be very difficult for Li Shimin to get out of the town... In history, Li Shimin has been cornered by the East Palace at this time, and Li Yuan even reprimanded him face to face. If the Turks did not attack , Maybe Li Shimin will mutiny and seize the throne in advance.

But you can't let go of Yanmen Pass and let the Turks invade Hedong, right?
In this way, what is Li Shan's hard work in Daizhou for more than half a year?

Therefore, Li Shan made this logical, but not very sure judgment. If there is another mutiny similar to the Xuanwumen Change in this life, the time point is likely to be after the Xuanwumen Change in the original time and space.

In this way, it is necessary to stockpile food in advance... Maybe it will be useful at any time.

Watching Zhu Wei leave in a hurry, Li Shan wandered back and forth in the west of the village for a while, and he took a fancy to a fairly flat piece of land... He intends to rebuild Li's house.

Although both Cui Xin and his mother hoped that Li Shan would live in the mansion in Yanshoufang after getting married, Li Shan still hoped to live outside the city before Li Shimin came to power... Big, Li Shan is not even sure, if there is a Xuanwumen change, will it be Li Shimin who initiated it.

But in this way, Li's house in Zhuangzi is not big enough. Zhang Wenguan mentioned this in his letter. When the time comes, there will be hundreds of servants in Miss Cui's dowry. Live in Sun Moon Lake.

After thinking about it in his mind for a while, seeing that the personal guards had already bought sacrifices, Li Shan personally took the sacrifices and went to the house of the dead personal guards to worship one by one.

Last year, more than a hundred guards accompanied Li Shanbei, 60 people from the Zhu clan, and another 60 people were selected from Qi Laosan, Su Dingfang, and refugees who settled in Sun Moon Lake back then.

After more than half a year, only seven people were killed in battle, which was much lower than in Shandong the year before. Of course, they were hunted down all the way in Shandong, but in Daizhou, Li Shan spent most of the time in the fortress.

Among the seven people killed in battle, four were killed in the battle against the camp on a snowy night. They all fell off their horses when they broke the camp and were trampled to death by horseshoes.

Although the seven families were sad, they were also respectful. They have been fighting for years, and now that they are on the battlefield, it is inevitable... What's more, Li Shan has always been kind to his family, and there is no shortage of pensions and land grants.

Everything was well arranged, Li Shan was a little tired, and regretted that he didn't bring Ma Zhou back. Ma Zhou was always responsible for this kind of thing... But after thinking about it, forget it, let Ma Zhou and Chang Hesi mess around.

It is said that under Ma Zhou's deliberate closeness, the friendship between the two became deeper and they were able to fall asleep on their feet.

"How long will it take to return to Beijing this time?"

"That depends on what His Majesty wants." Li Shan smiled bitterly in his heart, "I thought I would be rewarded by returning to Beijing..."

Zhu Shi, who was mixing tea, stopped, "Isn't it?"

Li Shan groaned and chirped a few times but did not answer directly, thinking that Li Yuan wished to punch and kick him twice, and even rewarded him!
When to leave the capital, it depends on how Li Yuan resolves the alliance with Tuli Khan. I have handed over all the communication channels and manpower...it depends on what Li Yuan thinks.

"Go back to Beijing today, and tomorrow I will go to Li's house to pay a visit." Mrs. Zhu brought over the tea she had prepared, "I am engaged to Cui's family through Demou's mother as a matchmaker."

"Boy knows the importance." Li Shan nodded, "Even if there is no engagement, brother Demou will take over as acting county magistrate, and he will go out to fight with the boy, chasing the enemy hundreds of miles to Mayi, he should pay a visit first."

"Ok?"

Li Shan swallowed his saliva, picked up the teacup and sipped his mouth, frowning, "Mother's craftsmanship is getting better and better!"

Mrs. Zhu snorted, "Cui's young lady is also good at cooking tea."

Li Shan laughed dryly, wondering whether he should get out the roasted green tea in advance... In his previous life, he had seen farm tea making in the countryside, but he had never tried it, and he didn't know if it could be done.

The mother and son sat in the side hall talking, sometimes talking about the Yanmen War, and sometimes talking about the details of their engagement to Cui Shi. Zhu Shi was preparing to renovate the house in Yanshoufang, and specifically mentioned that the neighbor next door was very helpful. A lot of rare giant trees came.

"Mr. Ying." Li Shan's smile was a bit stiff, "He is a close friend with Yang Xiong, the former Guan Wang. He started his business as a merchant. It is said that he was the first to make timber..."

"That's right, his wife is Guan Wang's niece." Zhu said with a smile: "The elder sister of the Yang family handed over the post again and again, inviting her mother to come to the door. She was pregnant, and she almost slipped and fell when she was going down the mountain at Dongshan Temple during the Lantern Festival. , Ying Guogong forbids him to go out again."

"Pregnant?" Li Shan's expression became even more strange, "I wonder if Duke Ying has any heirs?"

Mrs. Zhu wondered why her son was interested in this. She thought for a while and said, "Sister Yang is a stepwife. The predecessor gave birth to a second son, and sister Yang gave birth to a second daughter. If this child can be successful..."

Well, I can confirm that the one in my stomach is Wu Zetian, the only female emperor throughout the ages. Li Shan was thinking about this historical self-named Zhao in his heart, and he didn't know what his real name was.

For a moment, Li Shan thought about it, thinking that if he is a neighbor in the future, maybe he can be trained from a young age, and there should be no more queens in this life!

Calculate your age, if you were born this year, you would be about 20 years younger than yourself, 34 or [-] years old... At that time, you were [-] or [-], and you were in your prime!

34. It shouldn't be a big problem for a five-year-old who made great contributions to the founding of the country to take a poor lady as his concubine, right?

So many senior traversers can do it!

Besides, I remember that the samurai Xun died of illness not long ago, and the second son of the Wu family swept Yang's mother and daughter out of the house.

Li Shan suddenly remembered that Wu Zetian seemed to have a very flamboyant sister who also gave birth to a beautiful daughter, and in the end it was all cheaper than Li Zhi. In this life...

Dirty, it really is Dirty Tang!
Li Shan was full of contempt, he must stop that guy Li Zhi!

While calculating whether Li Zhi was born now, the outside guard sent a report, "Lang Jun, Duke Ling is back."
