Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 506

Zhang Wenguan left angrily, was dragged here as a shield, and was mercilessly driven away by Li Shan after the use value was gone... Naturally angry.

In the study, Cui Xinxin sized up the young man in front of him with complicated eyes, one thing he was sure of, this guy was absolutely romantic!
What Zhang Wenguan dragged you drunk to Pingkangfang... Cui Xin doesn't believe this kind of nonsense at all!

Ever since he got his mind...well, to be precise, after seeing the song "The Human Face Doesn't Know Where to Go, the Peach Blossom Still Smiling in the Spring Breeze", Cui Xin began to deliberately inquire about all aspects of Li Shan.

For example, after the ranking of the Jinshi Department was released, it was this guy who brought almost all the Jinshi into Pingkangfang, drinking and singing, and was praised by others.

For example, the allusion of the song "Only the peony is really beautiful, and the flowers move Chang'an when it blooms".

Cui Xin even inquired about Li Bai and Li Taibai... It was the first time Li Shan entered Chang'an City after traveling, and it was also the first time he became famous.

He wanted to go to a place like Pingkangfang to inquire about information... Cui Xin did not accept this reason, he only saw that Li Shan was a frequent visitor to Pingkangfang.

Of course, the most important thing is that Cui Xin witnessed the concubine and maidservant next to Li Shan with his own eyes at Yanmen Pass.

But now that they are engaged, what else can Cui Xin do, put aside those thoughts, and whispered: "I have something to discuss with you today."

"I also ask Mr. Yue Zhang to show me."

"Cough cough cough..." Cui Xin coughed heart-piercingly when he heard this word, and it took him a while to recover, "We haven't welcomed the bride yet!"

Li Shan was a little innocent, and asked tentatively: "Xia City is now prosperous, and there are many Hu merchants who come from Mobei and the Western Regions. My nephew will return to Beijing this year, and Jili..."

You still have the mind to pay attention to these things... It must be kept until the age of 15 and Ji!
Don't think about making the ceremony in advance!

Women usually perform the ceremony at the age of 15, and then get married...but they can also perform the ceremony and get married in advance. For example, Princess Qin married Li Shimin after the ceremony at the age of 13.

Cui Xin didn't bother to talk about these things, so he interrupted directly: "I saw you the day before yesterday, Your Majesty intends to call you back to Beijing?"

"Princess Pingyang has already informed that the Yanmen Great Victory Report came to Beijing that day. The crown prince proposed to be promoted to the Duke of the State. The King of Qin strongly recommended him to be the governor of the acting state. His Majesty was noncommittal." Li Shan took it lightly. .”

After a moment of silence, Cui Xin lowered his voice and said, "After returning to Beijing, did Pei Hongda act rashly?"

There is a deep meaning hidden in this sentence, Li Shan was startled, "Please ask uncle to explain in detail."

"Last year, Mayi recruited, the camp was attacked on a snowy night, and Yuan Junzhang was forced to surrender. Pei Hongda suffered from wind and cold and lay in bed to recuperate, and thanked guests behind closed doors." Cui Xin said slowly: "Up to the beginning of the year, Yanmen won a great victory, and they have not come to the door to see things. "

Li Shan knew all this, but he still listened patiently and stared at Cui Xin intently.

"The sage gave medicine twice..." Cui Xin said with a gloomy expression, "The crown prince came to visit him three times."

Li Shan raised his brows, "The crown prince wants to win over, and His Majesty is happy to see it succeed...Pei Hong will join the Eastern Palace?"

If Pei Shiju really joins the Eastern Palace, it may not have any impact on the court situation, but it will certainly affect the judgment of many aristocratic children on the development of the court situation!
Because Pei Shiju has been in the officialdom for a long time, after he became an official, he went through the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. Every time the dynasty changed, every time the throne changed, this old fox made the most accurate judgment. This vision is really extraordinary.

Only the Sui Dynasty ascended the throne twice. When the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Qi, Pei Shiju accurately picked up Yang Jian's thick leg. When Yang Jian usurped the throne and established the Sui Dynasty, the young Pei Shiju once presided over the Ministry of Internal Affairs... …this institution was renamed Zhongshu Sheng during the Tang Dynasty.

Afterwards, Yang Guang defeated Chen, and Pei Shiju served as the secretary of the Marshal's Mansion.

But after several years in the Tang Dynasty, after the age of seventy, the situation of seizing the heir to the imperial court is unclear, Pei Shiju still has to fight, is this necessary?

"Pei Hongda is also the Prince Zhan Shi, as to whether he will join the Prince's family..." Cui Xin looked deeply at Li Shan, "Then I have to ask you."

Li Shan froze, rubbed his face vigorously after a while, and said with a wry smile: "In the eyes of my uncle, my nephew is a man who must be punished?"

"Outsiders say that Dongshan Li Shanhuai is benevolent and righteous." Cui Xin said blankly, "But such a person as Pei Hongda, how could he leave future troubles... What's more, didn't you give him a fur hat?"

It was a fur hat made by Yu She, who died of aggrieved death, or Cui Xin personally sent it to Pei Shiju after returning to Beijing from Daizhou... The meaning is obvious, you Pei Shiju made a move, and I, Li Shan, took it. The hat is just a meeting gift, and there will be rewards in the back!

How can this not make Pei Shiju feel afraid?

Outsiders don't know the inside story, but in Cui Xin's view, Pei Shiju's fight is only for Li Shan... With such a deep hatred, it is impossible for Li Shan to avenge his biological father Li Dewu, and the most likely target is Pei Shiju and Pei Shiju's descendants.

For the sake of future generations, Pei Shiju naturally hopes to completely eliminate Li Shan's enemy before he dies... In the previous series of accidents, Pei Shiju drove Li Shan to death several times, but in the end Li Shan was desperate to survive, but instead skyrocketed.

In this situation, if Pei Shiju can assist Li Jiancheng to stabilize the crown prince and ascend the throne in the future, even if he cannot get rid of Li Shan, he can keep the descendants and the Western family.

But what Li Shan and Cui Xin thought...was more than that.

Li Shan stared into Cui Xin's eyes, "Uncle, what do you mean... my nephew should vote for King Qin to protect himself?"

Cui Xin's eyes flickered, "The crown prince and the King of Qin will win for a long time, and there will be a victory or defeat. Pei Hongda will join the East Palace, and Huairen will join the King of Qin's family. There is nothing wrong with that."

"Absolutely not!" Li Shan said solemnly: "With Princess Pingyang here, if the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, even if Pei Hongda makes trouble, at least my nephew will be safe, but if he votes for King Qin, I'm afraid that the whole family will go west in the future!"

If this battle for the heir apparent ends with Li Jiancheng winning, the crown prince will surely wipe out King Qin's line... Even if he doesn't do it, King Qi will do it, and even if King Qi doesn't do it, the East Palace staff will do it too.

If Li Shan went to Qin Wangfu, Pei Shiju only needed one sentence, and he could cut off Li Shan's head logically and eliminate all future troubles.

But if Li Shan remained neutral, with his meritorious service and the support of Princess Pingyang, even if Pei Shiju and Pei Ji joined forces, Li Jiancheng, who had ascended the throne as emperor, would at best expel or dismiss Li Shan, at least he would not be beheaded.

Cui Xin also understood this reasoning, hesitantly said: "King Qin's military exploits are unrivaled in the world and his prestige is so high, but the crown prince has not done anything wrong. In the battle for heir apparent, King Qin has little chance of winning."

What kind of good talk and bad talk, let you finish talking about the right and the wrong... Li Shan secretly slandered, and said with a smile: "The sage is healthy, Pei Shiju is already old..."

Cui Xinchang sighed, "Yes, Pei Shiju is over seventy years old, why bother?"

Weng and son-in-law collided in the air, and moved away from each other. They tested each other with words, but they didn't find any loopholes.
