Only half an hour later, Chai Shao came back, looking a little strange, but also feeling like he suddenly realized something. 1
"Really?" Princess Pingyang raised her right hand and straightened up on the couch.
They reunited at the beginning of the year and saw his wife lingering on the sickbed. At this moment, she seemed to have reappeared her heroic appearance. Chai Shao looked dazed for a moment before nodding and said: "Now the news has spread, Guan Tao Ling saw it with his own eyes... Later Li Shan and Qinghe
The Cui family is having a rift...Guantao Ling is also a descendant of the Cui family in Qinghe."
Princess Pingyang murmured: "In the past few days, I have seen this gentleman Li Langjun be gentle and elegant, and he is famous for his poetic talent. I heard that he also made contributions in the Shandong war... I didn't expect him to be so decisive and brave."
Drawing a sword and charging into the Guantao County Yamen... This kind of thing is really not something ordinary people can do, let alone a young man who has no position or power and is no more than 18 years old.
The key is not the Guantao County Government Office, but the fact that at that time Guantao County Government Office was the official official residence of the original government.
"This matter is now spreading in the court... After all, Shi Wanbao was the deputy general manager of the march in Hebei Province at that time." Chai Shao said softly: "And there are other rumors..."
"What?"
"First, it is rumored that the son of Jili Khan wanted to set up a palace in exchange for the king of Huaiyang, Xue Zhong... Li Huairen snatched it from Shi Wanbao."
Princess Pingyang sneered: "Xiabo was defeated in a big way. Shi Wanbao only escaped with his own body. He was chased all the way. How can he capture Yugushe alive?"
"That's right." Chai Shao said with a smile: "I talked to Huairen more than a month ago, and I heard him mention... Before the Battle of Xiabo, Huairen went south and encountered Turkic cavalry looting the village. He took action in anger and captured Yugushe.
...By the way, Su Dingfang is in that village."
"What about the second one?"
Chai Shao hesitated for a moment and whispered: "It is rumored that Shi Wanbao was killed by Li Huairen."
Princess Pingyang was startled. She knew very well the temperament of Shi Wanbao, the former subordinate at that time. This person could not have committed suicide out of shame... he must have been killed.
"No wonder Daoxuan came today... and Yan Shi Wanbao was killed by him."
Princess Pingyang squinted her eyes and thought for a while, "Are you talking aggressively?"
"Indeed." Chai Shao said with a bitter smile: "After all, although Shi Wanbao was defeated by Xiabo that day, Daoxuan was captured. He was actually the commander-in-chief of the Tang Army in Hebei. If he was really killed by Huairen..."
Princess Pingyang blurted out, "Who is in charge?"
Chai Shao thought for a while before he realized that his wife was asking the person behind such rumors, "It shouldn't be Dong Palace."
Of course it can't be the East Palace. Shi Wanbao's scar is that of Prince Li Jiancheng. How could he poke his own scar?
"It shouldn't be the Palace of Prince Qin either."
Chai Shao nodded in agreement. If it were King Li Shimin of Qin, then Li Daoxuan would not come to his door... Today, Li Daoxuan has a lot of weight in the court and the army.
Princess Pingyang sighed, thinking that the water in Chang'an was really muddy!
After a moment of silence, Chai Shaocai concluded: "It is rumored that Li Huairen drew his sword and broke into the Guantao County Yamen, robbed Yugushe, and beheaded Shi Wanbao."
"Yesterday Shi Wanbao's son Shi Huaixun came to visit, and today the King of Huaiyang is here... I just hope that you and I will come forward to protect you."
"Not only that, Li Huairen made great contributions to the country in the war in Shandong. In exchange for the king of Huaiyang, he persuaded the Turkic army to return, helped Tian Liu'an, persuaded Cheng Mingzhen and Qi Shanxing to send troops, and planned a great victory in Wei County, and the king of Qin benefited from this."
"But after the Wei Zheng campaign in the East Palace, Prince Qian Niu Cui Hao appeased Shandong, which once triggered a civil uprising and military rebellion. It was Li Huairen who killed the descendants of the Cui family in Qinghe and put an end to the military rebellion."
"Last year the King of Qin praised him several times. This year the prince asked a saint to give him the name Yu Hu Chun. Now the court has seized the legitimate son..."
Chai Shao paused and said with a smile: "Anyway, Pingyang, you have a lot of vacancies under your command. We haven't had a long history in many years, so why not leave it to Huairen?"
"Then, will Su Dingfang be left to your husband?" Princess Pingyang lay down again, "In this way, no amount of gossip will touch Li Huairen, and the fight between the elder brother and the younger brother will not involve Li Huairen."
"Then..." Chai Shao tentatively asked, "Shall I ask Huairen to come over?"
Princess Pingyang hesitated for a while and sighed: "I'm afraid he may not be willing."
After all, it is a life-saving grace, and one or two must be protected... Princess Pingyang thought in her heart, Li Daoxuan suddenly came to the door, and asked herself to protect Li Shan with a life-saving grace. In the end, she wanted to put Li Shan under her command.
.
In the past month, Li Shan has been staying in the princess's mansion. It cannot be said that the news has been cut off, but it is also tightly closed... Being turned away for the first time today, he immediately turned around and asked Su Dingfang to call Li Daoxuan.
After asking about the situation, Li Shan complained endlessly.
"Who proposed this matter?" Li Shan was careful not to mention Li Shimin.
Li Dao
Before he finished speaking, Li Shan interrupted with a long sigh, "Brother Daoxuan, if something happens to me in the future, I will definitely ask for help, but if I don't ask for help..."
Li Daoxuan was stunned. He naturally understood the unfinished meaning of this sentence... Li Shan was saying, I'm not looking for you, so please stop making fun of me!
"Huairen means..."
Li Shan also knew that Li Daoxuan had good intentions...but he really couldn't bear this kind of kindness.
It has been six years since I took martial arts, and if I remember correctly, the Xuanwumen Incident will happen almost three years later... If Princess Pingyang was in charge of the Beiya Imperial Army at that time, would she secretly conspire with Li Shimin?
It would be okay if it succeeded, but if it failed... Li Shan didn't even dare to think about it!
The maid over there came to summon him, and Li Shan went to the inner courtyard, still thinking...Prince Li Jiancheng thought he had merit in the recommendation, but he didn't know that he wanted to chop this guy to death with a knife!
Li Daoxuan had good intentions, but he almost let himself fall into the pit of fire... He must be the first to say goodbye later.
What did Li Shimin think... Li Shan was at a loss. Judging from the foresight of the time traveler, it seemed that he had mixed things up under Princess Pingyang in advance.
But at this time, did Li Shimin already have the idea of using force to seize the throne?
The possibility is not high...Li Shimin's situation today is much better than in the original time and space.
And Princess Pingyang is likely to be in charge of the Beiya Imperial Army... Li Shan can see this, but others may not be able to.
And what's going on with the rumors... Li Shan cursed in his mind, it's been several months, and suddenly the rumors started to spread, pointing the finger directly at himself. Could it be that in addition to Du Yan and Wang Renyou, did he have any enemies?
Entering the inner room, when Li Shan saluted the couple, he had the same emotion as Princess Pingyang... The water in Chang'an City today is too deep!
"After checking today, the princess has generally recovered." Li Shan said simply: "The doctors at the Imperial Medical Department are better at recuperating. I have been away from home for more than a month..."
Princess Pingyang gave her husband a look that showed that he really wanted to leave.
Chai Shao blinked, "I really don't trust the Imperial Medical Office..."
"I have been away from home for a long time, and I miss my widowed mother."
Li Shan's simple answer was quite sharp, leaving Chai Shao speechless... Do you want to stand in the way of this filial mother?
After another salute, Li Shan was about to leave when Princess Pingyang suddenly asked: "Why did you draw your sword and attack the Guantao County Yamen that day?"
Li Shan raised his head slightly, looked at Princess Pingyang intently, and after a while he replied: "Take back Yugushe."
"Dozens of miles away from Guantao City, thousands of Turkic cavalry were chasing him. Tian Liu'an, the general manager of Weizhou, set up an ambush and ordered his bodyguard to send Yu Gushe back to Guantao."
"Later, tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry surrounded Guantao City. I negotiated with the Turkic leaders to replace them. After returning to the city, I learned..."
Li Shan spoke softly and slowly, "That day I made good friends with Brother Daoxuan in Xiabo, and then left the city to go south. Brother Daoxuan sent elite escorts."
Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao were both very nice people and they understood this sentence immediately...Shi Wanbao held Yu Gu She, and it was hard to say what he would do with it as a bargaining chip, but he would never exchange it for Li Daoxuan.
Princess Pingyang sighed softly. In the end, it was because of the inheritance... To be fair, she also knew that in comparison, her second brother was more impressive.
But as the eldest son, the eldest brother has a legitimate reputation...and the second brother has conquered the world and achieved unparalleled military exploits, so he may not be able to change his political career compared to the eldest brother.
Seizing the direct descendants is no longer limited to Chang'an, nor is it limited to the court, it has penetrated into all levels of society... Princess Pingyang can also see that most of the female relatives who visit her these days are biased.
Chai Shao thought about it in his mind, "You are the top candidate for Jinshi in this subject. I heard that you haven't gone to the civil service examination yet?"
Li Shan twitched the corner of his mouth and nodded: "My mother has settled outside Chang'an City, and I don't want to go far away."
As soon as these words came out, Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao were a little confused. They could only confirm...Li Shan felt that if he went for the selection test, he would probably be sent to Jiangnan, Bashu, and Lingnan.
Princess Pingyang was not very clear about the situation in the DPRK, but Chai Shao had lived in Chang'an for a long time. She immediately announced that Feng Lun, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was also the Sima of Tiance Mansion... However, Princess Qin came to visit several times and her attitude towards Li Shan was quite good.
Putting aside these distracting thoughts, Chai Shao asked solemnly: "In the Pingyang shogunate, the chief minister has been absent for many years. Although Huairen has just entered the official position and is not of high rank, it should not be difficult for him to ask your Majesty."
Li Shan looked indifferent and said, "I have set up a wounded barracks in Shandong. There are many people alive. From the time I studied medicine in Lingnan to the present, no one with a high status is as good as a princess, but in the eyes of doctors, there is no big difference."
If Ling Jing were here, he would definitely spit on Li Shan's face, and even Su Dingfang, who has a steady temperament, would probably have his mouth twitching... In your mind, there is no difference between the injured and the patient, how can you have the nerve to say such things?
!
Not to mention the completely opposite attitudes before and after rescuing Su's mother that day, both Ling Jing and Su Dingfang saw with their own eyes that he did not treat the wounded in Li Shan's hands equally, and simply ignored some.
Li Shan is also aggrieved. Some of the wounded are really helpless!
Li Shan's words were tantamount to rejecting Chai Shao's kindness, but in Chai Shao and Princess Pingyang's heart, there was a strange feeling... Don't you want anything?
Of course you don’t want anything.
In other words, I don’t want anything now.
Don’t forget to repay kindness... In fact, for this kind of thing, you often get the most reward in the end.
Chai Shao was a little hard to understand. Over the past month, he had learned a lot about Li Shan. Although this young man had a low status, he was quite famous. Both the prince and the King of Qin wanted to recruit him with kindness. If he hadn't killed the descendants of the Cui family in Qinghe,
The incident has become a bit big, and I'm afraid the prince and the King of Qin are going to rob him.
Entering the Pingyang Princess Mansion should be the best choice.
If Princess Pingyang is still in Jinyang, then it is indeed the best choice for Li Shan... But now, I can only express my gratitude.
Although I feel a little uncomfortable now, the two old bastards Feng Lun and Du Yan in Tiance Mansion have made mischief several times, and the East Palace has been gentle several times, but I am forced to become famous for my poetry... But at least I have not officially entered the East Palace yet. King Qin
The battlefield for the inheritance.
If Shi is appointed as the head of Princess Pingyang's palace, then she will probably be at the center of a storm... One thing to be careful about is that she will be doomed.
Prince Li Jiancheng was self-righteous and felt that he was kind to Li Shan... The crown princess visited Princess Pingyang several times and had expressed similar feelings toward Li Shan.
What a favor!
And the King of Qin, Li Shimin, knew Li Shan's life experience... Although the latter gained Li Shimin's trust through this, it is difficult to say whether Li Shimin would force Li Shan to do something at some point if Li Shan became the governor of Princess Pingyang's palace.
Li Shan lamented deep in his heart that just as Li Daoxuan said... he was too sharp.
If what happened to Princess Pingyang hadn't happened, he could still survive for a while and show up at the critical moment... But with the incident of rescuing Princess Pingyang, it was impossible for him to continue to survive.
Maybe it's time for my life experience to be revealed...
There is no need to make a big fanfare or spread the word, but it can be selectively disclosed to certain people.
However, these matters need to be carefully considered, the pros and cons need to be weighed, and the attitudes of Hedong Pei and Li Dewu need to be considered.
Thinking of this, Li Shan felt angry. You, Li Dewu, have made some dirty tricks several times, from escorting food and grass to being forced to take the imperial examination, and now this time... I have always repaid evil with kindness and sent you to the East Palace!
Since you are shameless, I won’t give you any face!
After Li Shan repeated the details of taking care of Princess Pingyang to Chai Shao, he was about to turn around and leave.
But at this time, Princess Pingyang waved, "I heard that your ancestral home is Longxi Chengji?"
"yes."
"Please call me aunt in the future." Princess Pingyang didn't know why Li Shan refused to enter the princess' mansion, but she was willing to give him shelter in exchange for saving his life.
Li Shan was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Chai Shao smiled and said: "Your Majesty's ancestral home is also Longxi Chengji, so this address of aunt is appropriate."
"When you have recovered from your illness, you should come and pay your respects." Princess Pingyang said softly, "You can come here often to talk in your spare time."
"That's right. You will be free to come and go in the future." Chai Shao nodded.
Li Shan bowed obliviously and called her aunt... Ma Bi was suddenly a generation shorter than Li Shimin!
After further calculation, Changsun Wuji is Li Shimin's brother-in-law, and Gao Shilian is Changsun Wuji's uncle. In other words, Gao Shanshan, Changsun Wuji, and Li Shimin are equals... After all, Li Shan is a generation shorter than Gao Shanshan!
Taking Su Dingfang with him, Zhou left the princess mansion. Li Shan was still dizzy. He tried his best to pick out this fire pit... As an aunt and a nephew, did he jump out or not?
