Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 520
Changlepo is a small town, [-] miles away from Chang'an City Gate. The former Sui and Ben dynasties greeted and sent people to this place, but the atmosphere gradually changed.

On the one hand, it is because of the lack of food in Guanzhong, and Changlepo is close to the Weishui River, so the transportation is convenient, so it is quite prosperous, but it has been repeatedly looted by thieves, especially the fire last year, and it is no longer what it used to be.

On the other hand, it is because it is more popular to see off willows at Baqiao nowadays.

Thinking of this, Pei Ji glanced sideways at Li Shan, and said with a smile: "Huai Ren, willows will be broken last year, will they survive in the Northland?"

It was the first time that he had private contact with Pei Ji, and Li Shan was a little wary. This person has no achievements in history, but he is very important in the court and has a lot of power. He just smiled and said: "I disappointed Prime Minister Pei. And dry, and then inserted into the water bottle to live, but also failed to survive the winter."

Pei Ji shook his head slightly, "The young man is very energetic, but Daizhou is the place where the Four World Wars took place, and Huairen has a lot of enmity with the Turkic royal family, it's better to return to the court as soon as possible."

"Thank you for mentioning it to Pei." Li Shan lowered his head, the other chancellors could talk, but Pei Ji would be hostile in the future, Li Shan didn't want to be offended at this time, but he was also impatient to make friends.

This time when he returned to Beijing, Li Shan thanked the guests behind closed doors. On the one hand, he made it out that Tuli Khan wanted to marry Li Shimin, and on the other hand, he deliberately did it... Uh, mainly because he didn’t want to have anything to do with Wei Ting and Wei Zheng There are many contacts, and even this time I didn't visit Li Ganyou.

The reason is very simple, make friends, and then raise the knife, Yu She set up Yin Jian is not far away, Li Shan made troubles a few times, the reputation is too bad, why bother?

Ling Jing also mentioned a few days ago that Kong Yingda, one of the eighteen scholars of the Hongwen Museum, criticized Li Shan's move, although many people scoffed at it, what kindness and righteousness do you say to the enemy!

But because of Zhang Gongjin's incident, some people also agreed.

Chatting casually, seeing the smoke and dust rising slightly in front of him, Pei Ji urged him to go forward immediately, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty summoned Duke Rui to the Hall of Liangyi, and he will accompany you with Ren, and there will be a reward today."

Li Shan wondered in his mind, and asked tentatively: "I don't dare to hope for the position of Duke..."

Pei Ji looked back at Li Shan, his eyes were a bit complicated, he was the most trusted by Li Yuan among the courtiers, he already knew the inside story, and said in a low voice: "Huairen is really lucky."

Li Shan wanted to ask a few more questions, but he saw more than a hundred galloping cavalry stomping their feet, only two of them came on horseback, they were Yuan Junzhang, Yuan Xiaozheng and his son.

Turning over and dismounting, Pei Ji pulled up Yuan Junzhang who was bowed down, and said with a smile: "Mr. Rui has kept the country and the people safe for many years. His Majesty is very happy to enter the court this time. There should be another reward."

Protecting the environment and keeping the people safe... Yuan Junzhang felt his throat ache, and said with a wry smile, "I don't dare to be Prime Minister Pei's words..."

"Pei Xiang's words are very good." Li Shan walked forward and said with a smile: "If there is no Duke Yuan, the Turks will have all the two states of Lanyun and Shuo, and there will be no room for maneuver."

"Your Majesty is indeed overjoyed that Shuozhou will return to the Middle Earth after entering the court this time."

Yuan Junzhang looked at the young man who came out with complicated eyes. Since Wude came to power three years ago, the Emperor Tang sent envoys to appease him almost every year. into the court.

Although he was helpless and forced, Yuan Junzhang was also convinced. He had revisited the situation in the Shuo Dynasty. Regardless of the population, food, and military strength, voting for the Tang Dynasty was his only choice.

Over there, Yuan Xiaozheng prostrated himself on the ground, "Disciple pays homage to Master Li."

"Xiaozheng, get up." Li Shan grabbed Yuan Xiaozheng's arm and pulled it up, "I have read all the books I sent, and I need to master them. I will go back to Daizhou after a few days as a teacher, but there are many famous people in Chang'an City. You choose a night of Confucianism to give lectures."

Yuan Junzhang let go of his worries a little bit, he can figure out his treatment after entering the court from these details, it seems that it is not bad... Li Shan has a gentle attitude, and he even accompanied Pei Ji out to greet him.

Although Yuan Junzhang is far away in Shuozhou, he also knows that the current situation in the Li Tang Dynasty is complicated. Pei Ji is the left servant of Shang Shusheng, but because of his closeness to the Tang Emperor, he is the actual prime minister.

"Huairen is both handsome and civilized, his poetic talent overwhelms Chang'an, and his troops are unstoppable outside the Great Wall." Pei Ji nodded and said, "Since I have the honor to worship him as my teacher, I should sharpen it day and night, so don't slack off."

"Thank you, Xiang Pei, for your advice."

"If you want to chase Qingqi away, the bow and sword will be covered with heavy snow." Yuan Junzhang said seriously: "This poem has been spread throughout several states, and it has been praised by soldiers and civilians for a while."

"Huairen's works can be handed down to the world, but this kind of heroic work is the only one." Pei Ji smiled and nodded at Li Shan, "However, you can't learn from Huairen's romance!"

Li Shan coughed twice, "Pei Xiang's words are inexplicable, maybe I remember wrongly?"

"Hahaha!" Pei Ji laughed loudly and said, "There is nothing wrong with Huairen in discussing flower chanting in Pingkang Square... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mentioned this matter that day, so he should blame Huairen for being innocent, and the Crown Princess persuaded him."

Yuan Junzhang was a little surprised, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Li Shan. He originally thought that the reason why Li Shanxiang accompanied him to greet him was because he had facilitated the recruiting event that day, but now it seems that it may not be... Indeed, Cui Xin, who is also the envoy of recruiting, I didn't come today.

Li Shan said a few vague words, cursing inwardly, Yuan Junzhang is no better than Du Fuwei, who has no foundation now, and his army still occupies Shuozhou, and it will be of some weight after entering the court... Pei Ji did this by himself Raft, I want to win over Yuan Junzhang for the prince.

Now Li Shan is in charge of Daizhou, and Li Jing will be appointed as the governor of Daizhou in a few months. Although it will definitely be weakened, Yuan Junzhang still has a lot of weight in Shuozhou and Daizhou, and Li Jiancheng will naturally not let it go .

It was Li Jiancheng's helpless move to invite foreign vassals for help. After all, his foundation in the army was not deep. Even if he had some foundation in his early years, it would have been wiped out by Li Shimin long ago.

After the Luoyang Hulao War, Li Jiancheng managed to win over several important generals in the army. Unfortunately, the first few were Shi Wanbao who died tragically in Guantao, and then Li Shenfu who was demoted to Lingzhou. Due to his military exploits, Li Jiancheng needs to recruit foreign vassals for aid, such as Luo Yi and Yuan Junzhang, more than in history.

Li Shan has a very strange mood. If it is said that Yuan Junzhang and Luo Yi have no intention of encroaching on the world, it is unbelievable. Bow down, largely because of Li Shimin.

In the fourth year of Wude, Luo Yi was ordered to crusade against Liu Heitai, and was defeated repeatedly. The brothers Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun were captured and sent back. , will finally choose to enter the dynasty.

And Yuan Junzhang is similar. Although he doesn't know now, he will know what Li Shan's position is in the future.

Various thoughts lingered in Li Shan's mind, Yanshou said: "Go into the city, Your Majesty is still waiting."

Waiting for you, and waiting for me... Li Shan said this in his heart, judging from what Pei Ji said before, he might pass the Duke of the county and directly become the Duke of the State, but if nothing unexpected happens, he will set off in two days, Li Yuan How to solve the problem of Tuli Khan's alliance?
