Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 62 Preparation

"The cicadas sense the autumn wind before it moves..."

"There is another sentence, I am drunk and want to sleep, and I will go."

Looking at Li Kai, Chang Sun Chong, Gao Xingxing and others in front of him, Li Shan felt a little headache, drunk was wrong, drunk was wrong!

I will be really careful in the future... But I can't blame me, Li Shan is quite wronged.

Who made this body's alcohol-decomposing enzymes so weak? If it was in the previous life, this little wine wouldn't be enough to rinse your mouth!

The day before yesterday at Changsun's mansion, I was so drunk that I accidentally became radiant again... almost blinding the eyes of the bystanders.

At the beginning, they were only half-believing, but the children of Prince Qin's House found out the next day... everything was right.

Therefore, today a group of people came to Zhujiagou to visit, and I don't know who suddenly mentioned the two fragments of Li Shan's drunken poem the day before yesterday...

"To tell you the truth, I'm not good at poetry." Li Shan said sincerely: "When the teacher was teaching, I asked for advice. If the teacher was drunk, I'm drunk and sleepy..."

Others were fine, Li Kai looked at him with weird eyes... He didn't quite believe this sentence.

We have been in contact for more than half a year, and Li Kai has long discovered that this friend with the same surname has learned a lot of things, and his knowledge is also very extensive.

On the contrary, some common sense is not very clear, which is a bit like the birth of a hermit in Zhongnan Mountain.

Li Shan is not the same, he remembers a lot of poems, but the entire text of these two fragmented poems... I really don't remember much!
Fearing that everyone would ask more questions, Li Shan quickly changed the topic, "Brother Elder Sun is here today."

"It should be a visit at the door." Zhang Sun made a salute. He has always been very arrogant, but today Chang Sun Chong asked for an invitation, and he accepted without hesitation.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Shan's eyes fell on a young man behind him. This man was only twelve or thirteen years old, with a thin face and fair skin. He was looking around curiously. The difference is still quite big.

"This is Du He, the second son of Scholar Du." Fang Yizhi introduced: "Today's trip, invite him to come with you."

Among the staff of Prince Qin's mansion, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui were the most favored and loved by Li Shimin, and their descendants were also quite close.

However, Du Ruhui's eldest son, Du Gou, and Li Shan did not deal with each other. In the past two months, the children of Prince Qin's residence often came to Zhujiagou, but Du Gou never came.

Li Shan and Du He bowed to each other, but they were thinking in their hearts, the one who attached to Prince Li Chengqian to rebel and implicated the Du family... seems to be this one?

After another round of pleasantries, Changsun cupped his hands and said, "When you come to visit, you should pay your respects to Lingci."

In the main hall, Li Shan and Li Kai introduced everyone present to Mrs. Zhu.

To everyone's surprise, although he is clothed in wooden hairpins, Mrs. Zhu talks and laughs freely, calmly, and knows the allusions like the back of his hand.

Zhu articulately talked about Changsun Sheng who killed two birds with one stone, Fang Xuanling who was famous all over the world as a Jinshi, and Du Zheng who served as the Jingzhao Du family in the Wei, Zhou and Sui Dynasties. eyebrow.

"Northern Qi clan?"

"That's right." Li Kai nodded and said, "The fulfilling great-grandfather is the cousin of Emperor Shenwu of the Northern Qi Dynasty."

Mrs. Zhu nodded slightly. She knew Gao Huan, Emperor Shenwu, the founder of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Li Shan turned his head to observe Zhu's expression carefully. He felt that at that moment, his mother seemed to have just asked a casual question, but in fact, his mood fluctuated extremely violently.

The eldest grandson rushed forward two steps, saluted and said: "Auntie, the news has spread that the Turks are marching southward. Jieli Khan led an army of more than [-] troops to the east of the river, and sent partial divisions to attack and harass the pass. This morning, it was urgently reported to Beijing that the Great Earthquake Pass fall."

"Dazhen Pass lost?" Zhu was startled, glanced at his son beside him, and explained: "Dazhen Pass is an important town in Guanzhong, only five hundred miles away from Chang'an."

Li Shan blinked, five hundred miles sounds quite far, if it is a high-speed rail, within two hours, how much time does it take to ride a horse in this era?
"It is recorded in the "Book of Wei" that Xia Houyuan, the captain of the Dianjun Academy, made five hundred in three days and one thousand in six days."

Hearing Li Kai's words, Li Shan snorted, five hundred in three days, one thousand in six days... That is to say, counting the delivery time of the military report, the Turkic army may reach Chang'an at any time!
Is there such a thing in history?

Changsun Chong comforted: "However, both Tiance Mansion and East Palace have dispatched troops, and it is only the Turkic partial division that invaded Guanzhong."

"But after all the Great Earthquake Gate has been breached, I'm afraid that the outside of the city is chaotic and disorderly these days, so please ask my aunt to enter the city to avoid it."

"Go into the city to avoid each other?" Zhu's face was expressionless, and she turned to look at her son, "What's Dalang's intention?"

What a misunderstanding, it's not that I want to enter the city to escape... Li Shan smiled with difficulty, turned his head and cast a resentful look at Li Kai, saying that he would not enter the city that day!

"I have lived in Zhujiagou with my mother for more than half a year, and I have benefited a lot. It is not an act of righteousness to abandon the villagers at this time." Li Shan said sincerely: "The Tang Dynasty was established not long ago, but the soldiers are sharp and there are few enemies. Since the King of Qin has already dispatched troops, there must be no worries."

Everyone was somewhat disapproving, although they regarded Li Shan as a friend, but they were all descendants of aristocratic families, and the villagers in Zhujiagou really had little weight in their eyes.

Only Li Kai, who came to Zhujiagou the most frequently, could vaguely guess that Zhujiagou is dominated by the surname Zhu, and the Zhu family is also surnamed Zhu. Li Shan's mother and son went north to settle here, probably deliberately.

Moreover, Zhu Wei, the patriarch of Zhujiagou, took great care of Li Shan. A few days ago, when Changlepo was attacked, Li Shan did not bring his followers and was punished afterwards.

Mrs. Zhu nodded slightly in approval, gave Li Shan a satisfied look, stopped talking about it, and went back to the backyard after a while.

Li Shan cupped his hands and thanked, "Don't worry, the imperial court has already dispatched troops, and the Turks will not harass Jingzhao."

"It's not that the Turks will invade Jingzhao, it's that food and grass are in short supply, and it's difficult to relieve disasters for a while. I'm afraid that the refugees will be unruly." Li Kai thought for a while, "I'll send some more weapons later, and let Uncle Guo stay."

Guo Pu is the general of the Li family and the head of Li Keshi's personal guard. He once taught Li Kai and his three elder brothers.

This time when King Qin's mansion went to the expedition, Li Keshi did not accompany the army, and Guo Pu happened to come to help Zhujiagou.

Changsun promised to get some weapons, Gao Xingshi said he could get a pair of Mingguang armor, Li Shan thanked again and again and said: "Everyone should return as soon as possible, in case of accidents."

Just when everyone was about to leave, Xiaoman came in with a tea tray.

There are only four bowls of tea, there are seven or eight people in the hall, Xiaoman is at a loss, Li Shan said with a smile: "Brother Changsun and Brother Du are both here for the first time, please have a taste."

Du He's face changed slightly, "Take a bite of both bowls!"

"I've heard it from Dalang and Xingshi earlier, such a skill is amazing." Changsun was amazed, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that the tea set is crude and vulgar. Tomorrow, someone sent a set of tea sets."

After sending the group away, Li Shan put his arms around Guo Pu's shoulders, "Uncle Guo, I will rely on you this time."

Guo Pu was a little uncomfortable, took half a step back, bowed and said, "You should do your best."
