Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Mrs. Zhou leaned against the bedside with Li Shan on her arm, and carefully fed him the hangover soup, "Ms. Cui made it herself."

"Oh?" Li Shan smiled and said, "How do you get along?"

"Miss Cui was born in a noble family, a lady from all walks of life, and has a gentle temperament..."

Li Shan is not surprised. In this era, there is no such thing as pampering concubines and destroying wives. Especially in the high-level, wives are generally from aristocratic families, and concubines are just for entertainment, and they are even considered as gifts. The status of a friend's belongings is vastly different, and Cui Shiniang has no need to worry about threats from Zhou and Xiaoman.

Li Shan stopped talking, just finished the bowl of hangover soup silently, and said in a low voice, "Please come in, Mr. Cui."

The people outside hadn't dispersed yet, Cui Xinduan was sitting at the head, Cui Shiniang, who refused to leave, was standing behind her father, Zhu and Zhang were carrying Wang Junhao, Qi Laosan, Zhou Zhoulang, Zhu Ba and others to question carefully , the main concern is whether Li Shan was injured in this battle, and whether the cold really entered his body.

Cui Xin didn't believe it at all. The letter to Princess Pingyang mentioned traumatic illness... But today, everyone came here, and he was very drunk. Does he look like a sick person?
Everyone knew that Li Shan was going back to the court to reveal his feelings through gossip, and Li Yuan was indeed not suspicious. Not only did he appoint Su Dingfang to succeed him as the coach, but he also received an extra-standard reward like King Wei.

Cui Xin suddenly remembered the few words that Li Xiaogong, Prince of Zhao County, casually mentioned at today's banquet... In the future, his son-in-law will only be trapped in Chang'an, and there will be no chance for him to jump on a horse.

It's a good thing that guy doesn't go to the battlefield. If something happens, it's fine if the daughter is willing to remarry. If she is determined... Pei Shuying can still wait for Li Dewu to return to Chang'an, but Yin and Yang are separated. A possibility.

However, Li Xiaogong is indeed very similar to Li Shan. He also led an army to conquer outside. One was accused of rebellion, and one was accused of supporting the army.

But the difference is that Li Xiaogong was immediately recalled to Chang'an, and has been idle since then, but Li Shan quickly asked to return to the court after he made great contributions, which was even more trusted by His Majesty.

"Father." Cui Shiniang pushed, "Li Langjun invites father to go in and talk."

The little cabbage that has been raised for more than ten years has grown wings... Cui Xin sighed and walked into the inner room, and then saw Li Shan, who looked calm and no longer drunk, and couldn't help cursing secretly, even drinking fakes. People can't rest assured!

"Father-in-law, don't blame me. In fact, I'm drunk, and my legs are weak and I can't get out of bed." Li Shan reluctantly sat up and bowed his body.

Cui Xin found a wooden stool and sat down without making a sound.

"The other guards are fine. Liu Heier, please take care of my father-in-law." Li Shan grinned, of course he knew why Cui Xin looked like this... Today Lingyan Pavilion hosted a banquet, and Cui Xin was very polite from beginning to end. He didn't say anything, obviously angry.

That is, a pet girl madman was forced to send out the cabbage ahead of time, and she really thought that Cui Xin had no temper.

"Can Liu Heier be trusted?"

"My son-in-law treats him with kindness and righteousness, but not everyone can get his son-in-law to treat him with kindness and righteousness." Li Shan said with a smile: "Side by side for three days and two nights, there is a feeling of robes, Xu Jihu's family is attached, if there is no Unexpectedly, Liu Hei'er dare not betray."

Cui Xin understands this time. On the one hand, Li Shan wins over with benevolence and righteousness. At the same time, Liu Heier participated in the battle of Xiaoguan with him. On the other hand, Jihu is now under Su Dingfang's command. Liu Heier's loyalty is at least short Inside is guaranteed.

"In the old guard department, Su Dingfang and Zhang Zhongjian are heroes, Hou Hongtao and Qu Silang are also good, but it will be difficult to return to Beijing for a while." Li Shan sighed: "Wang Junhao is a little mediocre. come in handy."

"An accident?" Cui Xin only felt a faint chill on the back of his neck.

Li Shan glanced at Cui Xin strangely, he was too lazy to answer such a simple question... If there were no accidents, would it be necessary for him to make such a fuss, to invite him back to Beijing, and to push Su Dingfang to the position of coach? ?
Today, the two prime ministers came out to meet at the same time, and their words were tit for tat, the prince's repeated softness, and Li Yuan didn't mention the prince or the king of Qin from the beginning to the end of today's summons... This made Li Shan a little uneasy. He needs to understand the current situation in Chang'an as soon as possible. North Korea Bureau.

This is also the reason why Li Shan chose to come to Cui Mansion. It is impossible to go out of the city after nightfall, and it is not suitable to meet Ling Jing in private... Who knows if Pei Shiju's heart will be watched by someone, and Li Shan does not want to bother Princess Pingyang , Cui Xin, who has been in the center all year round, is the best choice, and it is also the best reason for his mother to live in Cui's mansion.

"Duke Jiang is indeed in close contact with the King of Qin." Cui Xin said as he recalled that since he knew his son-in-law joined the King of Qin half a year ago, he has also begun to pay attention to the people around him. Dispute with Pei Xuanzhen."

Li Shimin's temperament is humble... Li Shan resisted the urge to complain, "Where's Pei Hongda?"

"I never open my mouth to discuss matters, but I go to the East Palace every day." Cui Xin was a little worried, "Huiren, what will the East Palace do?"

"Naturally, it is to raise troops."

Li Shan's understatement made Cui Xin stand up suddenly, and the former said in a casual tone: "I just don't know when..."

It's funny to say that after the First World War on Tiantai Mountain, Li Yuan's attitude towards his two sons changed fundamentally, which led to a major U-turn in the power balance between the East Palace and the Qin Palace...but at the same time, Li Shimin's choice of timing is passive.

Cui Xin's voice was a little trembling, "Prince, it seems that you have such courage."

"That's right." Li Shan sighed, "From my son-in-law's point of view, if the prince is not forced into a desperate situation, it will be difficult for him to do such a rebellious act. Even if he is forced into a desperate situation, he may not have the courage."

"But there is still Pei Hongda!"

Li Shan is very sure that, given the current situation, Li Yuan has not made up his mind about Yi Chu, or that Li Yuan will not do anything in a short time, so there is no need for Li Jiancheng to raise troops.

Xue Wanche was appointed as the head of the marching army on Lingzhou Road, and Feng Li was the head of the cavalry. In fact, the Donggong lineage is not weak in the Lingzhou army, and the two prime ministers in the center are firmly attached to the East Palace. It was just Chen Shuda who had leaned against King Qin just now. Although Donggong was at a disadvantage, it was not powerless to fight back.

But Pei Shiju obviously can't wait that long, seventy is rare in a lifetime... This old man will be 80 next year.

As far as Li Jiancheng is concerned, the risk of raising an army is too high, and the consequences if he fails are self-evident, but if he doesn't want to fight, it's not like he has no chance at all... At least he is still the prince.

But as far as Pei Shiju is concerned, only by raising troops can he have a chance to achieve his goal.

Li Shan was very curious, after making so many preparations, what kind of means would Pei Shiju use to make the prince make up his mind to fight?
After a long silence, Li Shan asked softly, "How is Feng Lun?"

"Brother De Yi?" Cui Xin wondered why his son-in-law would pay attention to Feng Lun, and after thinking about it, he told about Feng Lun Jianyan's demotion of the king of Wugong County.

Li Shan squinted his eyes and lowered his head to think carefully. This incident will not weaken King Qin, nor strengthen Donggong, but it will muddy the water... What exactly is Feng Lun trying to do? ?
With a long sigh, Li Shan thought that the water in the court is too muddy now, but one thing is certain, if Pei Shiju wants to make a move, the Xuanwu Gate is an unavoidable key link.

Li Shan is going to let Fan Shiyi take a trip tomorrow, and he wants to find a chance to meet Ma Zhou, the current deputy guard of the Xuanwu Gate.
