Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 517
In just three years, Li Shan has grown from a humble beginning to skyrocketing, becoming a county magistrate, holding four prefectures in his hands, and now entering the Liangyi Hall for discussion. Everyone must admit that the key to such a rise lies in Li Shan himself.

But Li Shan himself must admit that he received great help from the Danyangfang of the Li family in Longxi. Li Ganyou, Li Keshi, even Li Kai and Li Zhaode all played a catalytic and supportive role in his rise.

The relationship between Li Shan and Danyang Fang was too deep, Li Keshi and his wife regarded him as their nephew, and the Changsun family acted as a matchmaker for him. When Li Kai went to Dai County, Li Shan did not hesitate to entrust all the Xiashi City that he had worked so hard to build.

In fact, Li Yuan also knew well that Li Shan's recommendation of Li Jing was not selfish, but this kind of selfishness was not too much, and Li Shan had also honestly explained it before.

Li Yuan thought of Li Shan's explanation before, and thought that this fellow was arrogant, and said that Xia City still had a share of profits, but everyone knew that the most important thing in Xia City was the commercial roads, and the horses and farmland brought by the commercial roads. Cattle.

Everyone in the hall had different thoughts, but everyone was not stupid, and they faintly felt that Feng Lun's release of Li Shan was definitely not kind.

Feng Lun and Li Shan had no relationship before, the only connection was last year's scientific examination, Li Shan's song "Moonlight Night on the Spring River" was unexpectedly failed by Feng Lun, if Chen Shuda hadn't intervened...

Chen Shuda and Yang Gongren's eyes fell on Li Shan, while Pei Ji thought for a while, but raised his head to look at Li Shimin opposite.

Pei Ji had received a letter from Daizhou a long time ago, Zhang Gongjin was publicly reprimanded by Li Shan, and she was humiliated, and Feng Lun was the Sima of the Qin Palace.

Li Shan is tall and standing on the side, basically taking in everything at a glance. His eyes quickly swept over, and he was surprised to find that Li Shimin was nothing special, but Li Jiancheng was also silent.

Li Shan thought for a while and turned his head to look at Li Yuanji. This guy was looking down. He glanced along his line of sight, and it was Feng Lun who met Li Yuanji's eyes... just exchanged glances, and his movements were very seated. If it wasn't for Li Shan's deliberate observation, I'm afraid he wouldn't have discovered it.

Ever since he knew that Du Yan and Feng Lun, the two aides of the Prince of Qin's mansion, were in contact with Li Yuanji, Li Shan was a little uncertain... The historical track can no longer be believed.

Li Yuan summed it up in a few words, talking about Yuan Junzhang's self-invitation to Beijing, "I just got the report, Duke Rui will arrive in Beijing tomorrow, and Supervisor Pei will go to Changlepo to meet him."

It should have passed the breath in advance, Pei Ji got up and said with a smile: "Duke Rui's tribute of three hundred horses this time is very sincere."

Li Yuan nodded, "Tomorrow Huairen will meet the old man together."

"Yes." Li Shan bowed and answered. Indeed, there are still many things to discuss with Yuan Junzhang... Although that guy has no reason or confidence to refuse.

"The Turkic envoy has returned." Li Yuan took out a letter from his sleeve, and handed it to Li Jiancheng, "Thirty thousand Han men and women, one thousand good horses, and five hundred cattle will be released and returned."

Li Jiancheng took a few glances, handed them to Li Shimin in order, and passed them down one by one. Although Ashina Yugushe was defeated and captured, Jieli Khan had to redeem him. The only son... Without a son, it means that the foundation is unstable, which has a great impact on Jieli Khan.

Before the crown prince and Zaifu could say anything, Li Shan came out suddenly and raised his voice: "Last year, there were many battles in Yanmen, and there was a shortage of war horses, and a large number of people were relocated, and there were few cattle..."

The hall was quiet for a long time, Li Yuan laughed angrily, and stared at the innocent Li Shan.

That day, Li Shan was here to rip off money. Everyone except Feng Lun was present, and everyone remembered it... After the rip off of tens of thousands of men and women from the Turks, Li Shan refused to let go, and used the Yanmen War to damage the state. For some reason, another thousand horses and five hundred cattle were knocked out.

In other words, the cattle and the horses all belong to Daizhou... Li Shimin almost didn't laugh, he knew through Ling Jing that Li Shan wanted to gain something, but he didn't expect his idea to come here.

Yang Gongren coughed twice, "Huairen, I heard that the Yanmen victory was over [-] horses alone?"

"Speaking of this matter..." Li Shan's face was full of indignation, "The generals had not yet arrived at that day, and the officials had no choice but to ask Ren Chengwang to help, and the prefectural governor sent Xue Zhong to guard the pass, and Zhang Bao followed the army out of the fortress."

"For this reason, all the captured war horses were taken by King Ren... Your Majesty, please make the decision!"

Li Yuan looked at this guy expressionlessly, he didn't bother to say anything, he just wanted to see what Li Shan wanted to do... He knew very well that the young man in front of him was not the kind of person who was proud of his merits, otherwise he wouldn't have treated him for being unable to advance. There is no complaint from the staff acting as the governor of the state.

Pei Ji smoothed things over and said: "Huiren, Ma Yin is in Xia City, Daizhou should not lack good horses, right?"

"Pei Xiang misunderstood." Li Shan said, "All good horses are sent to Longxi Racecourse, and most of the second-class horses are sent to Chang'an. Merchants exchange food for horses, and then go to Chang'an to select horses... stay on behalf of the horses. There is no one out of ten, and they are often bad horses that are difficult to fight."

Li Shimin sneered in his heart, other people don't know, so he still doesn't know?

If the war is imminent, Li Shan can organize a cavalry of at least 5000 in Daizhou.

Li Shan spread his hands and said: "What's more, the people who moved to Yunzhou and Shuozhou before, if there is no cattle, it is difficult to open up wasteland."

The other prime ministers were silent, one thousand horses, five hundred cattle...the weight is not low, and Xiashi sent only a thousand good horses to the Longxi Racecourse in the past six months.

At this time, a person stood up abruptly, and said sharply: "The great victory of the Yanmen Gate, the capture of Yugu She alive, makes you proud of the credit. Is this the way of a minister?"

This person is Chen Shuda, the minister of the three provinces who has the best personal relationship with Li Shan, and is also the most outspoken servant. He took two steps forward and shouted: "Turkish is in exchange for Yugushe, how to deal with it, Your Majesty Resolute, as a subject, to ask for such a thing is to be proud of being favored!"

After a pause, Chen Shuda added: "If you behave like this, don't apologize!"

Li Shan looked sober, bowed and said: "Minister... Your Majesty please punish me!"

Hearing the voice was a little choked up, Li Yuan's face was a little stiff, he waved his hands helplessly and said: "The horses are selected to go to the Longxi Racecourse, the rest are scattered in the twelve guards, and the cattle stay in Daizhou..."

Li Shan knelt down on one knee, "The spring plowing has passed, and there is no need to farm cattle in Daizhou, not to mention the lack of food in Guanzhong, please Your Majesty transfer Guanneidao and Jingzhao."

Chen Shuda at the back stroked his beard in satisfaction and nodded with a smile, but he didn't notice that Li Yuan above was stroking his forehead with one hand.

Several other ministers also saw the problem, Li Jiancheng couldn't help laughing and said: "Huairen has made such great achievements, so he should be rewarded, what exactly do you want?"

Chen Shuda was stunned for a moment, his hand stroking his beard paused, was it an ambush in front of his feelings?
Li Shan raised his head and smiled, "Your Majesty, those [-] men and women... why don't you stay in Daizhou and Xinzhou?"
