Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 73
From the first day he entered the county government, Li Shan was a unique existence. He only came to help in name, never infringed on the duties and powers of anyone in the county government, and only carried out statistics under the guidance of Li Ganyou.

In other words, Li Shan was in the backyard of the county office every day, and he refused to go out even to eat. Li Qianyou didn't care, and took Li Dewu to work outside every day.

In fact, Li Shan didn't care, he just didn't want to create side effects. Theoretically, even if he met Li Dewu, the other party wouldn't dare to do anything.

After Li Shan's name became famous in Chang'an, the Pei family in Hedong didn't respond. Li Shan guessed that Pei Shiju might not know the name, but Li Dewu hadn't reacted yet.

Through Wu Zhong, Li Shan faintly sensed that Li Dewu was quite contemptuous of his predecessor... Maybe it was the huge contrast that made Li Dewu lose his vigilance.

What would happen if we ran into each other at the county government office?
Li Shanneng is sure that regardless of other things, first of all, Li Dewu will definitely cover up this matter.

Therefore, it should not be me who is afraid of meeting.

Li Shanzheng was drinking the boiled water with gusto, tsk tsk, I never found that the boiled water tasted so good in my previous life... especially when compared with the tea juice.

"Brother Li is free today?"

Hearing someone outside the door, Li Shan's face collapsed, this guy is 40 years old, why is he so embarrassed? !

The one who came was Rong Jiusi, who was defeated a few days ago. He was famous in the government and the public for his arithmetic and poetry, but he didn't bear any grudges against Li Shan. Instead, he often came to ask for advice, and even called him Brother Li...

Li Shan has inquired about it, this Rong Jiusi served as a secretary in Prince Qi's mansion and joined the army, and he really didn't want to get in touch, but it's a pity that this guy is too thick-skinned...

"Brother Qianyou is too stingy... Uh, I'm too busy, so I can only ask Brother Li for advice." Rong Jiusi smiled and said, "I heard that Brother Li's ancestral home is Chengji County, Longxi County?"

Li Shan tried his best to support a smiling face. It was rumored that the abacus was the secret technique of the Li family's Danyang house in Longxi, and he used this reason to block Rong Jiusi back.

Rong Jiusi smiled endlessly, "I heard today that next year's math department may take the abacus test."

Science test, test plan?

Li Shanhao laughed out loud, but after thinking about it for a while, he picked up a pen and wrote it on the paper, "The younger generation actually only knows a little about arithmetic, and is not proficient in arithmetic. I have exhausted everything, and the rest Please join the army and ask your uncle for details."

Looking at the appearance of Rong Jiusi as if he had found a treasure, Li Shan smiled and thought in his heart that this person specifically mentioned next year's scientific examination... It seems that what Li Qianyou said has nothing to do with King Qi, so it is hard to say whether it is true or not.

In the battle for the heir apparent during the reign of Wu De, Prince Li Jiancheng had the most advantage, King Qin Li Shimin had the most confidence, and King Qi Li Yuanji...

Li Shan couldn't figure out why Li Yuanji insisted on getting involved?

As the legitimate sons, no matter who wins or loses, the two elder brothers will not treat Li Yuanji badly.

The most important thing is that if Li Yuanji gets involved in this battle for the heir apparent, even if he stands on the side of the winner, he won't get anything more. He is already a prince, so how can he go to a higher level?

But if Li Yuanji is on the loser's side, the end is worrisome... In history, Li Yuanji's own death does not count, and his son's murder is not counted. green hat.

The only explanation is that Li Yuanji himself has the heart to seize the heir. After all, Li Yuan only has three sons, and only these three sons have the possibility of inheriting the great treasure.

Could it be that Li Yuanji wanted the snipe and the clam to fight each other, and the fisherman would benefit?

But the odds are far too low.

The 35-year-old Li Jiancheng, as the prince of the Eastern Palace, has deep roots. The key is to be the eldest son, and he has won the trust of Li Yuan. All the important officials in the court support him, or at least they do not oppose him.

The 24-year-old Li Shimin is famous for his military exploits. There are many counselors in the Tiance Mansion, and there are many famous generals. He himself is a powerful father and brother.

And what about Li Yuanji?
When he was young, he was the general manager of Bingzhou. When Liu Wuzhou came to attack, he fled away with his wife and concubine. Kill officials and sacrifice the city.

Is such a person qualified to compete with Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin?
Li Shan really couldn't figure it out, but the facts were in front of him, because just a few days ago, he had been informed by Li Kai that the King of Qi had recruited several people from the Wang family of Taiyuan and the Cui family of Qinghe into the Qi palace as officials. Yuanji is expanding his strength.

After going out to look at the sun and counting the time, Li Shan packed up and went out to Dongshan Restaurant. Today is the invitation from Chang Sun Chong for a banquet.

"Brother Li is here." The chubby Gao Xing smiled and waved, "I heard that the county government is very busy?"

"Not busy, very very free." Li Shan emphasized his tone.

While speaking, Li Shan turned his head and looked around. Those who came were all the children of Prince Qin's mansion, and they all had a good relationship with him. Besides Chang Sun Chong and Gao Xingfu, there were also Li Kai and Fang Yizhi.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Li Shan took a sip and asked about Yuchi Baolin and Cheng Chumo with a smile.

Changsun Chong rubbed his nose with a dry smile, Yuchi Baolin was already furious, and Cheng Chumo couldn't persuade him, if it wasn't for Yuchi Gong's pressure, this guy would have already gone to Zhujiagou to make trouble.

Gao Xingxing said suddenly: "Yesterday, the sage of Liangyi Hall summoned the ministers to discuss matters, and he mentioned brother Li."

Li Shan, who was raising his glass to drink, was choked upright, "cough cough cough..."

After a violent cough, Li Shan, who was blushing, hesitated in disbelief, "Why did you mention Mr. Li when discussing the affairs of the Liangyi Palace?"

"Because of the abacus." Gao Xing glanced at Chang Sun Chong, "Today we discuss the levy of Liu Heita, and King Qi took out the abacus in his spare time..."

"The sage tried to praise this, although it is a trivial way, but it is beneficial to the country." Chang Sun Chong said: "Afterwards, the King of Qin mentioned Brother Li, and he was quite appreciative in his words."

Li Shan coughed violently again, mother Li Er, what do you want to do?
Li Yuanji's intention to recruit Li Shan through Li Qianyou was influenced by Li Shimin's praise of Li Shan.

Li Shan also knew in his heart that Li Shimin... at least the current Li Shimin had no intention of calling him into the Prince Qin's residence. The several praises probably came from his grievances with Li Dewu and Pei Shi of Hedong.

But at this time, Li Shimin deliberately praised Li Shan again in front of Li Yuanji.

All kinds of messy guesses flashed through Li Shan's mind. After a long time, he raised his wine cup and drank it down. "The saint sent the king of Qi to conquer Hebei."

"That's right." Li Kai nodded, "It's the King of Qi."

Li Shan blinked, as if it was different from his memory. Wasn't it Li Jiancheng who went to Hebei to capture and kill Liu Heita in history?
"The Turks have already stopped their troops and made peace. Liu Heita is only a dog. Anyone can go to war..." Gao Xingchen stopped talking halfway through his words, quite dissatisfied in his words.

Fang Yizhi and Li Kai are fine, but Chang Sun Chong retorted: "That's not necessarily the case. Liu Heita, who calls himself the Eastern King of Han, has a lot of strategies. If he loses his master again, it will be His Highness who will take care of the tragedy in the end!"

Uh, almost the same meaning.

Li Kai suddenly said: "At the beginning of the year, the King of Qin conquered Hebei, Chang'an ordered Wang Xu to lead three thousand soldiers. I don't know if the Chang'an order will accompany the army this time. My fifth uncle has never been in battle."

"It should be so, but there should be no war." Gao Xingfeng said casually.

Li Shan squinted at Li Kai at the side, and changed the topic with a smile, "The abacus has been handed to the saint, have you all learned it?"

"It's said that next year's math department may take the abacus exam?"

"Although I only understand a little bit, you can also ask for help."

Fang Yi has always been a gentleman, so he couldn't help but roll his eyes, "I know a little bit, Brother Li knows a lot about it!"
