Chapter 668 Wei Zheng’s Visit

The scorching sun hangs high in the sky, and everything on the earth seems to be scorched listlessly. Even the occasional breeze blows, and the willow paper is too lazy to sway.

After all, it was already mid-to-late June, and it would be July and August in the Gregorian calendar in later generations. Even in Daizhou, it was quite hot.

Wei Zheng came out of the General Manager's Mansion and rode out of the city to Xiashi. He was very, very familiar with this road. These days, he came and went almost every day, sometimes even more than once.

On the same day, news came from the East Palace, hoping to persuade Li Jing and Li Shan to make peace. Wei Zheng had other plans, but Li Shan refused, but the latter also agreed to give up.

Although Wei Zheng guessed that Li Shan had a certain degree of advance and retreat, he had already intended this, but he still wanted to accept this kindness. For this reason, the prince personally wrote a letter and praised him.

Originally, Wei Zheng was going to return to Beijing, but Li Jing, the governor of Yongkang County, took over Daizhou. There were many obstacles during the period.

However, Simaer Zhu Yichen of Daizhou, who is also in the same lineage of the East Palace, said that he was not sick, and Lu Chengji, who was a military officer, had just entered an official position not long ago. Don't worry about Zhang Gongjin's intention to help when he arrives, but unfortunately he can't do it.

That day, Zhang Shigui and Kan Leng led the army away, leaving Li Jing and Zhang Gongjin behind, and afterward Guji Town worshiped, these two were driven back to Yanmen Pass in advance by Li Shan... After that, Zhang Gongjin's situation in Daizhou was very serious It's embarrassing, I don't see Li Shan himself very often.

Under such circumstances, Wei Zheng went to Chang'an and took the initiative to stay and assist Li Jing. On the one hand, it was because he wanted to win over the crown prince, and on the other hand, he was the most suitable candidate. , also has a good friendship with Li Shan.

But even so, Li Shan shrank in Xia City outside the city in the name of recuperating his injuries, and Wei Zheng could only go back and forth every day... It was okay at first, but the weather has become hot these days.

After entering Xia City and dismounting from the horse, Wei Zheng took the wet towel from the servant and wiped his face before asking a few questions. He walked around two warehouses and found Li Shan in a shady yard.

Under the big tree in the sky, Li Shan, lying on the deck chair, stared at the sky with his head up. The dazzling sunlight flickered among the dense leaves. This scene is so familiar. It was the same for him in his childhood when he was lying under the big tree, and his grandma would shake beside him. Wearing a cattail fan, it was a warm memory from my previous life.

It's a pity that after entering junior high school, when I went home for a vacation, the big tree was felled. I remember that the second child of the neighbor's family got married and used it to make furniture.

Hearing the sound, Li Shan didn't get up. In fact, he didn't feel it during the war, and he didn't feel it when the war just ended. After everything was settled, and after receiving the letter from Princess Pingyang, he let go of his mind. Feeling unparalleled exhaustion and the pain caused by thirteen scars all over his body.

"Huiren is happy." Wei Zheng snatched the cattail fan and shook it vigorously a few times. During these few steps, his face was covered with sweat again, "How are you feeling today?"

Li Shan still raised his head and stared at the sky, "There is no need to say anything about Ma Yin. If Li Yaoshi is interested, he can write to the court, and he can go to Huo Guogong."

Wei Zheng was so angry that he fell on his back and scolded: "Go and trust Huo Guogong, thank you for being able to speak!"

Who doesn't know that Princess Pingyang and his wife have a close relationship with you, Li Huairen, and that relationship was also the same that day, and the other end of the horse Yin was handed over to Chai Shao, Huo Guogong who is idle in Chang'an.

Letter to Chai Shao... If Princess Pingyang knows that I instigated it, she won't go to the East Palace!
Wei Zheng glanced at Li Shan who was expressionless, and sighed in his heart, this matter is really not easy to handle.

Last year, Xia City was first built and trade routes were opened up. A large number of good horses entered Hedong through trading. You must know that Li Yuan's edict prohibiting trade outside the Great Wall has not been revoked.

Everyone in the court knew that His Majesty must be an insider, maybe an instigator, but this matter should not be put on the surface. Under such circumstances, Li Shancai came up with the so-called "Ma Yin".

Li Jing wants to take control of Daizhou, and he first focuses on Xia City. First, because of the grain storage, and second, because of the horse Yin. In fact, the horse Yin itself is connected with the grain. Take the horse to lead to Chang'an, and select the horse after being confirmed by Huo Guogong Chai Shao.

At the beginning, Li Jing was a little lucky. After all, Li Kai, the acting county magistrate, was his nephew. Although he had some elbows during the battle, he would definitely help him with all his strength.

But I didn't expect that Li Shan had made up his mind a long time ago, and came to the bottom of the pot, ready to hand over the leadership of the Ma Yin matter to the court... The court is like Taipu Temple, like the Ministry of War, it has long been jealous.

Without Ma Yin's dominance, it means that there will be no merchants to transport grain to Daizhou, and Xia City may only become a trading market in the future.

After understanding all this, Li Jing really has a big head, and Wei Zheng also went to Xiashi to look for Li Shan... Raise your hand!
But Li Shan ignored it completely, and said in a mocking tone that he had already made arrangements for Li Jing!
No horses?

In this battle against Mobei, nearly ten thousand horses were captured, isn't that enough for you, Li Jing?
No food in stock?

Gu Zao asked Daizhou not to drive Zhang Gongjin to march in the army... Didn't that fellow befriend Li Yaoshi?

Listening to Wei Zheng relaying this kind of nonsense, Li Jing only had MMP in his heart, and the army... You must know that there is no good land in the field, at most it is a semi-abandoned field, and there may even be land reclamation. At the beginning, at most, it is self-sufficient and produces a lot. , It is estimated that next year will be enough.

As for the nearly [-] good horses... they are still in the army, Li Jing has no way of getting their hands on them.

After the war, the Daizhou Army was always under the control of Su Dingfang, Xue Wanche, and Zhang Shigui, and Li Jing didn't try to do anything... He also knew in his heart that as long as Li Shan was still in Daizhou, the Daizhou Army would always be imprinted on the other side.

With nearly ten thousand horses, Li Shan didn't let go, so he couldn't take advantage of it.

Will he let go?

Even if you think about it with your heels, you know it's impossible!
Li Jing, Wei Zheng and Zhang Gongjin discussed for many days, although they did not say anything clearly to each other, they had a common judgment in their hearts that Li Shan wanted to negotiate terms.

Wei Zheng thought about it in private, and he could understand how dilapidated Daizhou was last year. It was Li Shan's painstaking efforts to create such a situation. If there hadn't been a battle in Guji Town, the relationship between Li Shan and the Li family's Danyang House in Longxi would have been completely destroyed. Entrust Li Jing.

But now the two sides are tearing each other apart... More importantly, no matter what the reason is, Li Shan gave up his attempt to deal with the governor of Daizhou, suffered such a big loss, and handed over all of them easily?

After all, he is a double-ten youth, how can he bear this tone?
Wei Zheng and Zhang Gongjin could see that the reason why they didn't let go was that Li Shan was waiting for Li Jing to deliver him to his door.

Li Shan glanced at Wei Zheng who was in trouble, and said lightly: "Have you received a letter from Chang'an yet?"

Wei Zheng was taken aback, "Today is the end..."

Li Shan was also stunned. With your mind, couldn't you guess it?
That guy Li Jing couldn't be ashamed...or if he didn't want to be at a disadvantage in the next transaction, he needed an opportunity, someone who could ease the relationship.

Originally, Li Kai met this standard, but after Li Shan settled down in Xia City, he turned around and went to the county seat, and stayed in the county office... Li Shan thought, Li Kai should have heard the news.

"Brother Xuan Cheng came to the door today, Li Yaoshi must not know." Li Shan laughed and said: "The court has already set a reward, and the people of Zhongshushe have been ordered to go as an envoy."
