Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 82 A Helping Hand (to be revised)
After eating a bowl of soup and cakes as usual, Li Shan leisurely went to the county government office, very satisfied with this morning's bowl... Uh, it should be regarded as noodles.

Everything else is fine, but the topping of chunks of braised lamb is mouthwatering.

Therefore, Li Shan is in a good mood, even though it has been confirmed that Li Dewu is trying his best to pick up his second thick leg after returning to Guanzhong.

However, Li Shan is very contemptuous in his heart. It may be because the first thigh has brought too many benefits, which has affected Li Dewu's behavior and made Li Dewu forget... Whether you can pick it up depends on whether you are useful!

For Pei Shiju, Li Dewu can bring back the only daughter who has been widowed for more than ten years.

But for Dong Gong, being only Pei Shiju's son-in-law is too light, unless Li Dewu can represent Pei Shiju, or has the ability to impress others.

"Uncle Shi."

"Mr. Rong."

Li Shan greeted everyone respectfully and kindly before entering the inner hall. This is a hall that is neither too big nor too small. It is used by famous clerks and clerks in their offices.

He didn't sit down until he got to the back. This is the seat Li Shan specially chose. He always likes to stand far away to look at the hustle and bustle of the crowd.

It has to be said that the life experience of the previous life has left him with many personality traits, ways of doing things and thinking patterns that cannot be changed in this life.

As far as this expedition to Hebei is concerned, Li Shan has his own plan, but there is no schedule, or that there is no time or ideas on the schedule, but he has a clear purpose.

This shows Li Shan's thinking mode, no matter what method is used, the goal must be achieved.

For example, Li Shan in the previous life was not a good student with good character and good conduct in high school. In order to survive, he used to wander in the gray area...

But from the first moment he entered high school, he confirmed that he wanted to jump out, and the college entrance examination was the most likely and promising path.

And after three years, Li Shan did it.

The number of people in the hall gradually increased. Some of the clerks and clerks were locals, some came with the army, and some were aides of important people. Among them, Li Shan was the one with the most unique status.

It's not just that Li Shan has a wide range of knowledge and mathematics, which defeats the children of the Zheng family, but also because of his extensive contacts.

At first, it was only the attention of Li Qianyou, Rong Jiusi, and Li Dewu. Later, more and more people asked for inquiries. A few days ago, Wei Zheng's visit made Li Shan famous in this small county.

Even in the reign of Wude, even if it wasn't in the reign of Zhenguan, Wei Zheng's reputation was quite large, otherwise he would not have been won over by Li Jiancheng after he voted for the Tang Dynasty for the second time.

However, this is not a good thing for Li Shan.

It is forced by multiple factors, so that he went to Hebei with the army... This can always be prevaricated by the Chang'an Order holding the number of candidates for the imperial examination next year.

But if you get too close to Wei Zheng... Li Shan vaguely remembers that Wei Zheng persuaded Li Jiancheng to chop up Li Shimin when he seized the heir during the reign of Wu De...

Li Shan has been prevaricating by saying that he will be an official in the next year's scientific examination. Even if he does not join the Qin Palace, at least he will not choose the East Palace or the Qi Palace, but Wei Zheng and Li Qianyou have repeatedly done this...

Another batch of grain and grass arrived today. Li Shan was familiar with the road, and sent someone out to count the number. Each link was assigned a special person to be responsible for each link, and he signed and marked it. He just counted the total.

"Be careful yourself." Li Shan smiled and said: "Check and sign again and again, otherwise someone will be found out... If the difference is not big, I will bear it next time, if the difference is too big..."

The scribes and clerks also followed Li Shan for several times, and they all understood the checkpoints, and they all left with abacus, paper, pen and bamboo tube.

"Too weak!"

Li Shan still had a gentle smile on his face, looking at Wei Zheng who was entering the door.

"Such methods are admirable, but such soft-heartedness is deplorable."

Wei Zheng walked into the door slowly, shook his head and said, "The access is not too big, so you can handle it all by yourself?"

"Then what's the use of signing and drawing?"

The dim sunlight slanted down from the patio outside the door, and it seemed that there were large traces in the air. A figure suddenly walked across the patio, which made Li Shan, who was observing, feel a little sorry.

It was Li Dewu who came.

"Brother Xuan Cheng..."

Wei Zheng was about to turn sideways to say hello, when he suddenly woke up and yelled angrily, "How courageous!"

Uh, because this "Brother Xuan Cheng" was called by Li Shan.

Li Shan said slowly: "I talked about it a few days ago. I remember that the master mentioned that the niece of the family married into the Danyang house of the Li family in Longxi, and she is Zhaode's cousin."

"Zhaode regards a certain as brother, you and I call him that, what's wrong?"

Wei Zheng was stymied by these words, and secretly took a sip, similar situations often occur when children of aristocratic families get married, this guy insisted on bringing it up.

He was pretty good. Li Dewu, who had just appeared, laughed dryly, turned around and walked towards the side door... as if he was passing by.

The reason is very simple. Li Dewu and Wei Zheng's friendship was mainly because Wei Zheng's wife was also from the Pei family in Hedong.

In terms of seniority, Wei Zheng is a senior generation, and Li Dewu is a generation lower.

Therefore, if Li Shan and Wei Zheng called brothers and sisters, Li Dewu would call Li Shan uncle.

Seeing that Li Dewu was gone, Wei Zheng blew his beard and stared at Li Shan and scolded him, but the latter was lazy and didn't make a sound.

It has been a year since I came to this era. I first passed through Zhu Wei and Zhu Shi, then passed through Wang Renbiao, Li Kai, and Li Zhaode, and then passed through many children of the Qin Palace, and then passed through Wei Zheng, Li Qianyou, Rong Jiusi in the past ten days...

Li Shan deeply felt how great Li Shimin's strength was, and also deeply felt why Li Shimin ascended to the throne in a bloody way.

Li Shan deeply felt how great Li Shimin's strength was, and also deeply felt why Li Shimin ascended to the throne in a bloody way.

Everything stems from Li Shimin's influence, and also from the seemingly mature and stable political skills of the sage Li Yuan, who is actually difficult to control the overall situation.

Since ancient times, in the battle of the founding of the country, there has never been a prince who is so good at fighting and has military exploits.

From this point of view, the sage Li Yuan who basically never moved his nest after entering Chang'an, and the dim prince Li Jiancheng who was foiled by his younger brother... are really unlucky.

The crux of the problem is not how much pressure Li Shimin exerted on the East Palace, how much threat he has to the East Palace, but the threat to Li Yuan.

The threat to Li Yuan did not refer to the threat to Li Yuan himself, but to the large number of old ministers entrenched around Li Yuan. Most of these old ministers were about the same age as Li Yuan, and most of them were former ministers with intertwined influence. They were the key to ensuring Li Yuan's governance.

Li Shimin has made great achievements frequently, Li Yuan would rather create a Tiance Mansion than officials from Qin Wang's Mansion to enter the court.

This is tantamount to digging out Li Shimin's foundation... If Li Shimin can't ascend the throne, what about the countless civil and military officials who only serve in Qin Palace and Tiance Mansion?
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Yu Chigong, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin... These famous ministers and generals were all entrenched around Li Shimin, and did not hold positions in the local area.

If Li Shimin ascended the throne, they would definitely replace those important ministers around Li Yuan. This is also one of the reasons why Li Shimin's military achievements are outstanding, but the important officials in the court did not support him very much to enter the East Palace.

Therefore, the key to this battle for the heir apparent during the Wude period was not only brothers, but also father and son, and it was impossible not to be stained with blood.

If you want to see life and death with a sword, how can Li Shan stand on Li Jiancheng's side?

It was another burst of grandiose words to prevaricate Wei Zheng, and Li Shan reluctantly sent him out of the county government.

At the side door, a figure appeared quietly, stayed by the patio for a while, and then quietly walked into the empty hall.
