Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 717
"Your Majesty Li Shan pays his respects to Your Highness."

Li Shimin, who was sitting at the top, raised his hand to signal that this was the first time that Li Shan met the King of Qin in front of other people. Like the last secret meeting, Li Shan's first words touched Li Shimin's heart.

The last time I called "Your Highness" directly, this time I also called "Your Highness" directly, but there was an extra "Chen".

Last time it was because of position, this time it was because of situation.

Sitting on both sides are Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, and Ling Jing. The first three are Li Shimin's absolutely trusted staff, and Ling Jing is here today mainly because of Li Shan.

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shan with a smile. He was the first to follow Li Shimin's confidantes. There are many county kings in the lineage of the King of Qin, such as Li Daoxuan, Li Shentong, and Li Daozong who has been under the King of Qin for a long time. .

"Huairen has finally come." Li Shimin said with a smile, "Duke Ling should have said it too. After all, now that Huairen is praised by his father and praised by his courtiers, he is a famous general in the world and dare not make friends with him alone."

For the former Li Xiaogong, the later Li Shenfu, the current Li Jing and Li Daozong, the East Palace can win over, and even Li Yuan acquiesces in Prince Li Jiancheng recruiting Luo Yi, King of Yan County, as a confidant, but King Qin Li Shimin cannot... a bit taboo .

So it was several months after Li Shan returned to Beijing, and after Li Shan successively went to the East Palace and Wude Palace, he came to Chengqian Palace.

"Your Highness is absurd." The corner of Li Shan's mouth was slightly crooked, this evaluation...whether he wants it or not, it is already firmly on his head.

"Well, Huairen only understands a little bit." Li Shimin laughed loudly, "Wen Taowu Lue, generals and prime ministers, the name of Huairen must be recorded in history books."

Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji echoed a few words, but Du Ruhui frowned, "His Royal Highness, the King of Handan came to pay homage today, and it is a matter of business."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Shimin nodded and said: "We met last year, Huairen talked about the general situation, which made Gu Xin broken, and I will listen to the good opinions again today."

The expression on Li Shimin's face was solemn, but Li Shan always felt that the other party's word "high opinion" had an accent... I have to admit that although the prince Li Jiancheng has no military merits because of Li Shan's appearance in this life, the current status of the East Palace is still good. Stable, Li Shimin's current situation is actually worse than the original time and space.

The smile on Li Shan's face turned into a wry smile, "Your Highness..."

The room became quiet, Li Shimin also had a wry smile on his face, the other aides, Du Ruhui and Ling Jing were expressionless, Fang Xuanling bowed his head slightly, and Changsun Wuji was rather displeased.

It's really impossible to say, Li Shan talked about the general situation with his own mouth, and then... Then he tore the general situation to pieces with his own hands.

Li Shan himself thought it was pretty fucked up, and he guessed that Li Shimin, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and Changsun Wuji thought so too...

More than a year ago, when Li Shan met the King of Qin for the first time, he first made clear his will, and gave Li Shimin the legitimacy of seizing the heir, and then discussed the situation in the world, and then made a sinister suggestion to put the blame on Donggong's head... This is a fact has already done it.

Beginning in September last year, rumors about Prince Li Jiancheng's plan to move the capital to Luoyang spread all over Chang'an. Li Jiancheng knew in his heart that it was Li Shimin's trick, but he was helpless and powerless to refute it... because in fact, that's what he thought. .

Li Jiancheng's prestige in the army was already low, and the ceding of Shuofang and Yulin made a large number of lieutenants dissatisfied. Once again, the prestige of the East Palace was almost shaky, and then...then Li Shan forcibly recruited Yuan Junzhang, and the Yanmen victory up.

In the final analysis, no matter which one of Li Shan's proposals last year, even the legitimacy and rationality of Li Shimin's accession to the throne, were all based on the fact that the Turkic threat was too great, and only the King of Qin could defend the frontier in the Manchu Dynasty.

But Li Shan went to Daidi for a year, what did he do...by means of opening up trade routes and relocating people, he quietly pushed Yuan Junzhang into a desperate situation. The situation has changed.

The most important thing is that there is no longer a buffer zone between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks on the eastern battlefield, and the soldiers and horses of the two countries began to confront each other.

Afterwards, Li Shan still refused to give up. He first planned to let Tuli Khan and Jieli Khan break out in internal fighting, and then captured Yugushi alive with the victory of Yanmen. Sweat frightened.

It can be said that at the end of last year, when the Qin Palace gradually gained the upper hand, it was Li Shan who personally helped the East Palace regain its disadvantage... This dynasty has its own famous generals to defend the side, and you are not the only general Tiance!

When the news of Li Shan's meritorious deeds on behalf of the land was spread back to the capital, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and his staff at first thought that this son was talented, and then...then they all became numb.

After killing Jieli Khan and throwing away his helmet and armor, Li Shimin was speechless... He felt that the prince and the king of Qi's repeated goodwill in the past few months was not necessarily to win over Li Shan, but to thank Li Shan.

In this regard, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are not doing well, and Changsun Wuji has already complained in private... Could this guy be an internal response from the East Palace? !
The scene was a bit embarrassing, Ling Jing was thinking that it would be inappropriate for him to come out and make friends, but Li Shimin had already opened his mouth and said solemnly: "Is solitude so boundless?"

"Your Highness has a heart as wide as the sea, and you have no doubts about employing people. It is a clear proof that Yuchi Gong was brought in during the Luoyang War." Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Huai Ren should not speculate."

"Mr. Fang is too worried." Li Shan said with a wry smile, "It's just that he belongs to His Highness and has no achievements, but it hinders His Highness's great cause. I'm really ashamed."

"Without an inch of merit?" Li Shimin stood up and said in a loud voice: "Huiren prospered the land, moved the people, seized Mayi, and disrupted the Turks. This time, breaking the Turks three times is a great contribution to the state!"

"Gu intends to inherit the great cause and clarify Yunei. Even generals such as Xue Wanche and Er Zhu Yichen will be of great use in the future. Do you want to punish Huairen today?"

Uh, this statement... is a bit far-fetched. After all, Li Shimin is at a disadvantage in the current battle for succession, and he has already regarded the throne as his own.

But it makes sense, at least in Li Shan's heart, there is a certain degree of credibility... After all, Wei Zheng, Xue Wanche, Wang Gui and other old people in the East Palace are all famous ministers and generals of Zhenguan.

Li Shan saluted solemnly, and Li Shimin smiled and took it up with his own hands... Anyway, at least the posture of the two of them getting along with each other is pretty good.

Even Li Shan was still pondering what the history books said... Whether it was "Old Book of Tang" or "New Book of Tang", they all described Li Shimin as a harmless little white rabbit.

The most direct proof is that the crown prince and the king of Qi have repeatedly threatened each other, but the king of Qin has always refused to fight each other... Finally, the little white rabbit timidly stretched out its sharp claws as a last resort.

But in fact, Li Shan thought, Li Shimin may not have given up his attempt to enter the East Palace through normal means, but at the same time he is also ready for the second plan.

They already regarded the emperor's throne as something in their pocket... directly skipped the East Palace, and aimed directly at the Tai Chi Hall.
