Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 808
After leaving the palace, Li Shan stood on the edge of a cliff, looking down from a distance, there were several carriages preparing to go north, and more than a dozen children from aristocratic families were comforting Pei Shiju who had just suffered the pain of losing his son.

Uh, Li Shan won't join in the fun. Pei Shiju should have gone to Huating County to collect the corpse. I hope he can ask about it... Forget it, so what can I do, so that Pei Shiju won't doubt it?

Oh, it is true that there is no doubt, but certainty... This kind of thing does not require any evidence, only a motive is enough.

Li Shan thought for a while and prepared to go to see Su Dingfang, but before he got there, he ran into Jiang Guogong Chen Shuda who was walking in a hurry.

"Uncle Shi is here." Li Shan saluted. Among the many prime ministers, Chen Shuda was not the only one who had a good relationship with him, but he was the only one who was a gentleman's friend.

"Your Majesty believes that you love you, Huairen rescued you in time, it can be said that the monarch and his ministers help each other." Chen Shuda stopped, helped Li Yuan, and smiled: "Are you injured?"

"It's just a flesh injury." Li Shan sighed, "But in the battle of Tiantai Mountain, many important officials in the court were seriously injured."

The generals of the Tiance Mansion suffered heavy casualties, that was Li Shimin's fault. After all, most of the officials of the Tiance Mansion were not in the court, but the three provinces, six ministries, nine temples and five prisons all suffered casualties. Just this morning, they were released. Lu Chisong, Duke of Fanyang County, a member of Zhongshushe, was seriously injured and died. His son, Lu Chengji, who served as the governor of the state and joined the army, would soon abandon his post and return to his hometown with his coffin to observe his filial piety.

Three provinces and six ministries, three provinces and six ministries, and the six ministries that can be as famous as the three provinces are the main executors of the actual government affairs, and their importance is self-evident. According to the report, on the list of the dead last night, two servants of the six departments died, three doctors died, and more than ten Yuanwailang and principal officials died!

This is also helpless, Li Yuan was raided by Liang Jun after he had already set off, and the important ministers were protected by others, and those with lower ranks were dead old ladies, and there was no hope.

Ling Jing, who was waiting here an hour earlier, was also a little puzzled, he stroked his beard and said, "Maybe it has something to do with the prince's actions in Beijing?"

Ling Jing then changed the topic, and talked about Changsun Wuji's proposal to persuade Li Shimin to stop for the time being... Li Shan secretly scolded the old concealer, this guy is really not a good thing, but he is good at playing tricks.

"By the way, just now in the palace, it was the crown prince who wanted to recommend my nephew to be the commander of the army...fortunately, he avoided it."

"The situation is so chaotic." Ling Jing sighed, "But at least in the battle of Tiantai Mountain, His Highness will not be expelled in the short term."

So what does Chen Shuda mean by this sentence?
A quarter of an hour later, in the high-standard single ward, Li Shan rubbed his eyebrows and kept shaking his head, "Jiang Guogong will not bring this up for no reason..."

"Isn't he afraid that the Turks will come and join forces with Liang Shidu, and drink horses to separate Weiwei?" Li Shan said with a sneer: "At that time, there will be enemies outside and disputes inside, and it will be normal for the country to be destroyed and the family to die! "

"His Highness intends to go out in person, but I'm afraid the East Palace will obstruct it." Ling Jing smiled wryly: "If the important generals under his command lead the army, I'm afraid the crown prince will also be a fortress."

Among the most important ministers at the top level, Zaifu, no one died, but not many were not injured. When Li Yuan was besieged by Liang soldiers outside Renshou Palace, all the important ministers around him personally killed the enemy with knives.

Over the years, Li Shan has been adhering to the political image of being loyal to Li Yuan. He already has Li Yuan's trust, and Princess Pingyang's help, plus this time's great contribution to saving him... In the eyes of many people, as long as Li Shan always Being impartial, wealth and honor in the future is almost a certainty, there is no need to seek refuge with the prince or King Qin.

Ling Jing nodded, "That's why Xuanling and Keming both suggested that we immediately restore the Marching Commander's Mansion, stabilize the defense line, and resist the Turks who are likely to take advantage of the fire. Wait until August before marching to recover the three states."

"My nephew understands."

"Impossible." Ling Jing shook his head, then added after a pause: "If the crown prince intends to recommend and win over, he will not come to the door in person to invite King Qin to have an audience with him."

Li Shan curled his lips slightly, all the superiors have this virtue, Li Daoxuan and Shi Wanbao back then were examples.

Watching the back of Chen Shuda leaving, Li Shan stood there for a moment, not quite understanding what this sentence meant.

"It seems to exist..." Li Shan said vaguely, seeing Chen Shuda frowned, and said with a wry smile: "My nephew dare not spy on the forbidden palace, but His Majesty is indeed displeased."

Zhongshuling Yang Gongren, Zhongshu's servants Yu Wenshiji, Wen Yanbo, and Menxia Province's Huangmen servant Tang Jian have been injured for the past few days. In addition, Menxia's servant Pei Shiju went to collect the body, so Li Yuan urgently called Zhongshuling Feng Lun and Chen Shuda, his servants, left only Pei Ji to guard Chang'an.

Because the Tiance Mansion was severely damaged this time, and even Li Shimin himself was injured, it was difficult to deploy generals to participate in the battle to recover the three states. Therefore, Changsun Wuji suggested that the troops should not move. It would be best...Let Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng and his son take over this mess, and wait for King Qin to mobilize manpower from various places to restore the strength of Tiance Mansion before taking over the war.

"Is there anyone to choose, Your Highness?"

"Could it be that you are afraid that you will turn to King Qin?"

"It's really unpleasant..." Chen Shuda looked at Li Shan for a while, and said softly: "Over the past few years, Huairen has been impartial, and he should have a beginning and an end."

Although Chen Shuda is a descendant of Chen Guo's clan, he was an official in the Sui Dynasty in his early years and had a close relationship with those old people. Just now he went to visit Yang Gongren and Wen Yanbo who were recovering from their injuries.

"There are a lot of officials and generals who went to Renshou Palace today, and soldiers from several prefectures in Guanzhong gathered in Qizhou." Chen Shuda instructed: "Your Majesty has given you the right to control the army, so be careful."

Chen Shuda remembered Li Jiancheng's various actions that day, hesitated for a while and asked in a low voice: "It is said that His Majesty reprimanded His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Come to the door in person?" Li Shan opened his mouth wide. He really didn't want to win me over. If so, he would definitely recommend him in private. It is impossible to invite Li Shimin to go with him.

For a while, both of them couldn't figure it out, but they were sure that it should have nothing to do with Pei Shiju, because Chen Shuda just arrived at Renshou Palace today, and he didn't even meet Pei Shiju.

"Go to the King of Qin?" Li Shan scratched his chin, "Although the King of Qin has done a great job in rescuing him this time, Your Majesty...at least at this time, he has no intention of being easy to save."

Speaking of the casualties in this battle, both Li Shan and Chen Shuda felt dejected.

"It's possible." Li Shan blinked, "This time the crown prince did not handle things properly, do you want to win over someone?"

"However, one thing is for sure." Ling Jing said firmly: "The crown prince will come to the door in person, and invite His Highness to have an audience with him. He proposes to restore the military commander's mansion, and there must be a plan."

The current situation... Li Shan thinks about it carefully, and he is a bit overwhelmed. Originally, Li Yuan was ready to deal with Li Shimin, who insisted on seizing the heir, but he did not expect that the Liang army captured the three states, and the entire army of Lingzhou was wiped out. Li Shimin fought to rescue him, but The prince delayed the timing of sending troops.

Li Shan thought to himself, guessing that now Li Yuan doesn't know how to deal with this situation.

As for himself... Li Shan planned to let go of his courage as soon as possible and control the army. It sounds nice to say, but it is too easy to be involved.
