Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 690
Chai Shao, who was watching coldly, took a sip of his wine and glanced at Li Shan who looked sad. He knew in his heart that there was only one possibility for this young county king to be in such a difficult situation.

Once the Crown Prince ascends the throne and King Qin loses his heir apparent, the East Palace is likely to discover the secret connection between King Qin and Li Shan. Even if there is no evidence... Presumably Pei Shiju can create some evidence.

At that time, even with the protection of Princess Pingyang, even if Li Shan has made great military achievements, there is no need for Pei Shiju to add fuel and jealousy, and the crown prince will not be merciful...Maybe the military achievements will be unparalleled in the Daizhou army, but it will be the key to death .

Chai Shao was able to confirm that Li Shan had joined King Qin's command very early on... He has discovered from various aspects, but the most important thing is that he has been under Li Shimin's command for a long time, participating in the Battle of Qianshuiyuan, the Battle of Baibi, and the Battle of Hulao in Luoyang, etc. Wait, how many ministers and generals... Even Yu Chigong, who killed many Tang generals, Li Shimin will vigorously recruit.

And Li Shan is both civil and military, capable of managing politics, good at military strategy, has a long-term vision, and his poetry is amazing... But at least from the public information, the King of Qin has no intention of soliciting, but Donggong is more active in this regard.

Although there are a lot of talented people in Tiance Mansion, wouldn't the more such outstanding people, the better?
Not to mention, Li Shan is extremely trusted by His Majesty, and he has a close relationship with his wife who holds the Imperial Army in Beiya... Thinking of this, Chai Shao glanced at his wife. Not good at it.

When Li Shan was besieged in Guji Town, Li Shimin's various actions made Princess Pingyang doubt her own judgment. Maybe Huairen has nothing to do with her second brother?
However, Princess Pingyang will not insinuate like others, but ask straightforwardly. This is due to her temperament, and it is also because of the intimate relationship between her and Li Shan that does not need to be seen outside.

"Have you invested in Prince Qin's Mansion?"

If Li Shan was asked such a sudden question, he might be a little panicked... It's a pity that Li Shimin had already sent the news through Ling Jingtou. The third sister is suspicious, so be careful.

Facing Princess Pingyang, who is in the palm of the Beiya Imperial Army, Li Shimin naturally had to deal with it cautiously.

Li Shan showed a hint of surprise and doubt just right, and then laughed after a while and said: "Because Pei Hongda joined the East Palace, so my younger brother will vote for the King of Qin?"

"Third sister, don't you know why last year's younger brother invited himself out of Beijing?"

"Now my younger brother is trusted by his uncle, favored by his third sister, and has a good relationship with the crown prince and King Qin. Why do we have to make a choice?"

"If you make a wrong choice, wouldn't you be asking for trouble?"

Princess Pingyang nodded slightly when she heard it, and what she said was indeed very reasonable... and Chai Shao yawned unconsciously, he was not as easy to fool as his wife.

There are all kinds of reasons, and if Li Shan didn't prepare in advance... Chai Shao would never believe it.

"My younger brother has been in Daizhou for only one year, and the land has changed drastically, and the Turks have been broken three times, which has caused civil strife in the Ashina clan." Li Shan said indifferently: "Whether it is the crown prince or the king of Qin, is it true that my younger brother is useless?" ?”

"Oh, maybe the crown prince ascended the throne, and Pei Shiju was in the way, so it would be difficult for the younger brother to lead the troops to take revenge, but this is not the reason why the younger brother wants to join the King of Qin."

Princess Pingyang hesitated, leaned forward, and said in a low voice: "Ling Jing."

Chai Shao became interested now, he has a deep relationship with Tiance Mansion, there is no other way, many old colleagues are in it, it is very clear that Ling Jing's status in Tiance Mansion can be called a high position and weight.

And the relationship between Ling Jing and Li Shan is so deep that Ling Jing still lives in Li Shan's opposite door.

"My little brother has been in Chang'an for many years, and has made many friends." Li Shan sighed, "But they all have their own positions."

"For example, Li Demou and Fang Yizhi are all descendants of the Prince of Qin's family, and brother Daoxuan is also of the Prince of Qin's lineage."

"For example, Wei Xuancheng and Wei Ting are attached to the East Palace..."

After being quiet for a while, Li Shancai looked at Princess Pingyang, "It's just imitating Xue's brothers."

Xue Wanche, a famous Hebei general, was thrown into the East Palace, and his elder brother was thrown into the Prince Qin's Mansion...just to keep the lintel from falling down.

Princess Pingyang and his wife could understand Li Shan's meaning. The relationship between Ling Jing and Li Shan was too deep, and he joined Qin Palace because he was afraid that King Qin would become the throne. What about the East Palace?

Princess Pingyang blurted out, "Su Dingfang?!"

"Cough, cough, cough!" Chai Shao coughed violently, "No...it won't be a fixed prescription."

From Princess Pingyang's point of view, besides Ling Jing, Su Dingfang and Li Shan have the deepest relationship, but Chai Shao knows very well that it cannot be Su Dingfang...or rather, Chai Shao doesn't even believe that there is such a person.

"It's true that it's not Su Dingfang, but there is someone there."

Princess Pingyang almost believed it, and said with emotion: "You have the means, and there are people in the East Palace!"

Li Shan's eyes are extremely sincere, his expression is solemn, and his performance is fully fired... Chai Shao is half-believing when he sees it. The relationship between Ling Jing and Li Shan is so deep, where can this guy find someone to stuff into the East Palace?

Moreover, the relationship between the two parties needs a certain degree of reciprocity. Ling Jing is now the confidant of the King of Qin, and the Eastern Palace... Chai Shao quickly made an inventory in his heart.

It is impossible for the crown prince to allow Wang Gui.

The crown prince Zuo Wei led Pei Longqian to be Pei Shiju's nephew, let alone that!

Prince Xima Wei Zheng has a good relationship with Wei Ting and Li Shan, but it is far from being comparable to Ling Jing, and it is impossible.

Is Zhan Shizhu Zhao Hongzhi?

Is the prince's servant Xu Shimo or Zhan's master Zhao Hongzhi?
There are also the prince Qianniu Li Zhian, and the Duke of Xingyang Zheng Shanguo. These people are all the prince's confidantes. Which one will it be?

Or... Chai Shao looked at Li Shan, isn't this guy just talking nonsense?
Li Shan acted very calmly, the previous paragraph was basically nonsense, but this sentence is really not nonsense.

Princess Pingyang hesitated for a moment, and did not continue to ask, but changed the subject and talked about other things, such as the harmony between the Zhu family and Mrs. Cui, for example, Li Daoxuan went to find the censors who impeached Li Shan after the morning court today. bad luck...

It was not until dusk that Li Shancai took his leave and left.

Seeing the back of Li Shan going out, Princess Pingyang turned to look at her husband, "Who could it be?"

You should ask if there is such a person... Chai Shao complained in his heart while laughing: "Anyway, your brother recognizes you well."

"what?"

"It doesn't matter whether what he said today is true or not, whether there is such a person, or whether he has joined King Qin's command..." Chai Shao explained in a low voice: "But Huairen doesn't want you and me to be involved."

Princess Pingyang woke up now, sighed softly, but the next moment her face was firm, "No matter what, I will embrace Huairen someday."
