Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 728 The Secret
On the first day of the eighth year of Wude, in the Taiji Hall of the Chang'an Imperial City of the Tang Dynasty.

A magnificent ceremony was in progress, and the Great Court Meeting on Yuan Ri had always been highly valued. Officials filled almost the entire Tai Chi Hall according to their titles and official positions.

Li Shan, who barely slept last night, hid behind a pillar, yawned and thought in his heart, finally it has been eight years of martial virtue... I don’t know if there is nine years of martial virtue in the original time and space, anyway, I remember that Li Yuan’s reign did not exceed ten years.

Sweeping his eyes everywhere, after a long talk with his mother yesterday, Li Shan now sees someone and wonders...whether this person's father and grandparents suffered from the Heyin Incident.

Even last night, Li Shan took a special opportunity to ask his mother... Is there any Zhang family in Wucheng?

And Mrs. Zhu gave his son a speechless answer... Except for the Northern Wei royal family, the thousands of officials who were killed were basically the children of the northern family. Even if they didn't, there must be some in-laws.

Also, at the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty, there were no imperial examinations, and only the children of aristocratic families were eligible to become officials...Even in the Sui Dynasty, even in the early and middle Tang, how many civilians could become officials?
Glancing at the few people in the front, well, Li Shan confirmed from his mother that Li Yuan's father and grandparents were not involved, and Li Yuan's great-grandfather Li Tianxi was only a middle- and lower-level general in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and this line still started from Li Hu become one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms.

This was the first thing Li Shan confirmed... In case of exposure of his life experience in the future, Li Yuan and Li Shimin stared at him with cold eyes, saying that my great-grandfather and great-uncle were back then... The picture is so beautiful that I dare not think about it.

Among the prime ministers, Chen Shuda and Xiao Yu were all from the south, and Yang Gongren... Hongnong Yang's status was not high at that time, and his mother had never heard of it.

The remaining Pei Ji, Pei Shiju, and Feng Lun all had elders who died in the Heyin Incident, among which Feng Lun was the worst, his grandfather died.

Such a coincidence?
Li Shan couldn't help grinning, whoever he didn't deal with?
A big court meeting, as Li Shan expected, did not end until noon, the procedure was too cumbersome, but today Li Shan did not have to go to the corridor to eat, Li Yuan held a banquet in the Ganlu Hall, and the clan children and princesses were able to attend feast.

Li Shimin stepped into the Ganlu Hall, and the first thing he took a look at was Li Shan, who was hugging his eleventh younger brother Li Yuanjia, the King of Han. He really didn't expect that such a thing would happen... This guy probably doesn't know about it now.

While teasing Li Yuanjia in his arms, Li Shan carefully observed that he was a son of the clan in name, but in fact, except for himself, they were all descendants of the royal family.

Since the founding of Li Tang, Li Yuan has given the surname Li to generals with foreign surnames many times, and included them in the imperial family, such as Luo Yi who has been released, such as Li Dayen, the former governor of the Daizhou, but in fact there are still big differences.

Others didn't mention it, Li Shiji, governor of Qizhou who came to Beijing for an audience at the end of this year, and Wu Wang Du Fuwei, who had been staying in Beijing, were also included in the clan. They didn't show up today.

"Uncle, uncle!"

Feeling his thighs being hugged, Li Shan looked down and saw that it was Chai Shao's eldest son, Chai Zhewei... Well, I always had the best time with Li Shan. climb up.

"Da Lang!" Chai Shao hugged his son dumbfounded, "Don't be rude."

"Huiren played well with them." Li Jiancheng walked over with a smile, "Today's court meeting, but there is a censor ready to impeach."

"Your Highness, forgive me." Li Shan said with a chuckle, "Drinking together last night, I almost didn't sleep all night."

Regarding Li Shan's disrespect in the early court and his nap at Sinong Temple, Sun Fujia, the prime minister of the censor, impeached him twice.

King Qi leaned over, looked at Li Shan's dark circles, and said with a smile, "It's not due to that Hu girl, is it?"

There was laughter all around, and Li Shan said angrily: "Now you can't enter Cui's house, it's all because of His Royal Highness Qi!"

"Hahaha!"

Li Yuan's laughter sounded from outside the crowd, and everyone parted a way, Li Yuan paced in and teased, "Cui's daughter is so jealous, it's not the style of a big lady!"

Li Shan is speechless and jealous, which is not a good reputation in this day and age.

Li Yuan added, "It seems that Huairen will be like Aaron in the future."

The ignorant Li Yuanji didn't understand, neither did Li Shan, but Li Jiancheng, Li Xiaogong, and Li Daoxuan couldn't help laughing.

Li Jiancheng explained a few words in a low voice, the so-called A-Long was Wang Dao, a famous minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, that is, the Langya Wang family who "the king and the horse share the world".

It is said that Director Wang is afraid of his wife like a tiger, and his wife Cao is jealous, so that Director Wang can only raise a few concubines outside. Once he heard that his wife had gone to another courtyard, Director Wang hurried away, fearing that it would be too late, he took a dust handle As a whip to drive cattle.

It turned out that he was mocking himself for being a strict wife in the future... Li Shan didn't care about it, just looked at Li Yuan meaningfully, you are not much better, are you?
Li Yuan married his wife Dou, and gave birth to Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Li Yuanba, and Li Yuanji, but Li Zhiyun was the only concubine son. Then, 15 years later, Dou had passed away, Li Yuan had ascended the throne, and he had a lot of concubines. He gave birth to more than ten sons to Li Yuan.

After chatting for a while, everyone sat down. Li Shan glanced at Li Shimin who was not far away... This person is very popular in the clan, so he chatted with Li Daoxuan for a few words.

Another Huai'an king, Li Shentong, who has a good relationship with Li Shimin, is now stationed in Longxi, not in Beijing.

Concubine Qin is holding a pink child in her arms, she doesn't know if it is Li Chengqian or Li Tai.

Listening to Li Yuan who was sitting on the right seat talking clichés, Li Shan always felt a little weird, as if someone was missing... After a while, Li Shan's pupils shrank slightly, and Princess Pingyang didn't come!

Looking sideways, Chai Shao cast a smiling look at Li Shan, who pursed his lips, feeling something faintly.

Why did Li Yuan specially stay behind him to participate in the clan banquet today?
As soon as I entered the Ganlu Hall, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji came together to talk and laugh...

Li Jiancheng, the prince in front, said with a smile: "Father is very happy today, is there a happy event?"

"There is indeed a happy event." Li Yuan laughed and said, "Pingyang is pregnant."

As Li Yuan's only concubine daughter, who is also a heroine who can wield military power and go to battle to kill the enemy, Princess Pingyang is pregnant, so Li Yuan is naturally delighted.

But Li Shan, who was in the first place, had a drastic change in expression, and his hands in his sleeves were trembling slightly... So that's it!
All things are connected, Princess Pingyang is pregnant, she must cultivate, then who will be in charge of the palace ban, and who will control the Beiya Imperial Army?

It is impossible for Li Yuan to grant this power to any of the three sons. His earliest choice was his relative Chen Guogong Dou Kang, but this one died of illness in Wude five years ago, and then he chose Princess Pingyang.

But now, Princess Pingyang is pregnant, and Fufeng Dou's family is divided into several parts, some are attached to the East Palace, and some are attached to the King of Qin. There is no one who has enough prestige and is fair enough.

Li Shan was really pushing the dog in his heart, and he was still thinking about why Su Dingfang became a nobleman. It was not for Su Dingfang at all, but for himself.

Everyone knows that Su Dingfang and himself are completely one.

Li Shan resisted the shock, and showed a very reluctant smile to Li Yuan... Your Majesty, do you trust me so much?

At that time, maybe I personally sent you to the boat to blow the cold wind!

At dusk that day, news spread throughout Chang'an.

Princess Pingyang was pregnant, and the sage Li Yuan hand-picked Su Dingfang, the Duke of Julu County, to be transferred to the general of the Zuojian Gate Guard to control the Beiya Imperial Army, including the Left and Right Prison Guards and the Left and Right Qianniu Guards.
