In October of the fourth year of Wude, Li Shan traveled through time. From almost nothing, he made friends and gradually became famous... At that time, Li Shan, not to mention Li Yuan, the princes and important officials may have heard of this name, but they didn't even care.
Even Li Shimin, who valued Li Shan relatively the most, only valued the grudge between Li Shan and the Hedong Pei family.
But things are different now. The war in Shandong last year became a turning point. Although he was just a young man, he was able to turn the tide and made great contributions to soothing the people of Shandong.
After that, the name of the poem spread throughout Chang'an, and Princess Pingyang was rescued... These two things pushed the name Li Shan to a certain height.
Even Li Yuan will not remain indifferent.
Looking at the young man in front of him, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Yuan's mouth, "The title is an important weapon of the country... Although he is young, he is quite charming."
The so-called Zicong is the nickname of Chen Shuda. He is recognized as the most impartial person among the prime ministers and assistants.
Li Jiancheng also laughed, "If Chen Guogong hadn't gone north in his early years and hadn't returned to the south of the Yangtze River for decades, I would have thought that Huairen was his old kinsman."
Li Yuan stood up and pulled Li Shan up, and said seriously: "Daoxuan once said that Li Qing was instrumental in planning the war in Shandong."
"The Liu thief in Hebei Province was cunning and ferocious. He raised his troops twice to attack Shandong. Li Qing set up a wounded barracks in the army to boost the vigor of his soldiers. He also made several plans to encircle and defeat the enemy and capture and kill Liu thief."
"Such great achievements must not be unrewarded."
"An order was sent to Zhongshu Province to prepare an imperial edict, and Li Shan was granted the title of Duke of Guantao County and granted food to one thousand households in the city."
Li Shan adjusted his clothes and bowed solemnly, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
The Duke of Guantao County is second only to the Duke of the Kingdom and the Duke of the County in the ranking of titles, and it is also the Guantao County where Li Shan became famous and the turning point of the war in Shandong... This is tantamount to announcing to the outside world why Li Shan was knighted.
"Okay, the official business is over, let's talk about personal friendship now." Li Yuan had many wrinkles on his face and smiled kindly, "I have many children, and the one I love most is Pingyang..."
"I am very anxious after hearing the bad news. Huairen relieves my worries..." Li Yuan paused and suddenly said: "In the future, in private, Huairen will call me uncle."
As soon as these words came out, the two brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were stunned... Only the children of the Dou family who were not from the clan had this qualification, and Li Shan was not from the clan by marriage.
"In the future, you should call Da Lang the eldest brother, and Erlang the second brother... As for Dao Xuan, that's up to you to discuss. I don't know who is older between you and Dao Xuan?"
Li Shan's mind changed rapidly. Could it be possible that he could still grab onto Li Yuan's thigh?
These thighs are very thick, and Li Yuan is a very affectionate person... I'm afraid Li Shimin also wants to see all this.
But the problem is that Li Shan has other considerations about his future career.
After a slight hesitation, Li Shan bowed and said with a smile: "The king of Huaiyang is two years older than me."
Hearing Li Shan call himself a minister, Li Yuan frowned slightly, "Huh?"
Li Shan's face did not change, "It is really a good fortune that Princess Pingyang recovered this time. I will elaborate on it for Your Majesty."
Li Yuan was a little confused when he heard this, but the brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin looked at each other and vaguely guessed something... After all, they also knew about the frequent visits from wealthy families.
"I studied medicine in Lingnan, but in fact I was not good at studying medicine, was not good at medical theory, and was not good at diagnosing pulses. I only learned the art of ulcer medicine."
"In the Shandong War, I set up a wounded barracks for this reason. I was able to heal wounds sustained on the battlefield and even disembowel them. Many generals under Brother Daoxuan were able to survive because of this."
"But other than that, I'm actually not good at other diseases, and I'm far inferior to the doctors at the Imperial Medical Office."
Li Yuan listened for a while and asked: "Pingyang this time... was injured in the battle last year, so you can diagnose and treat it?"
"Princess Pingyang has been injured for a long time, and the poison has penetrated into the bone marrow, but it is also the responsibility of the ulcer doctor." Li Shan tried his best to explain it in layman's terms, and finally said: "With this medicine, I said that I would be able to survive 50% of the time, which is true.
.”
"This medicine is actually poisonous. Use poison to fight poison. Princess Pingyang survived by chance. I will try it again someday, but I am not sure."
"It's really a fluke!" Li Yuan clicked his tongue: "This is the blessing of Pingyang... But if Huairen hadn't used medicine, how could such a thing have happened, huh?"
"Father, Huairen is afraid of being an imperial doctor. This medicine fights poison with poison. What will happen if it is used in the future?" Li Jiancheng pointed at Li Shan and cursed with a smile: "My father is so generous, how can he be blamed for such a thing?!"
Li Shimin also smiled and explained to Li Yuan, who was still confused: "Father, these days, there are many wealthy families waiting for the Li family... Huairen has no other choice but to be a doctor."
Only then did Li Yuan understand. He stretched out his hand and tapped Li Shan, "Just say this!"
"Father doesn't know something. Although Huairen is young, he has deep thoughts." Li Shimin looked deeply at Li Shan and continued: "Otherwise, how could he plan for the war in Shandong?"
Li Yuan nodded slightly, "This matter is easy to hear. Da Lang Erlang turned around and said, Huai Ren is good at healing wounds and is poor at diagnosing diseases."
Li Shan thanked him one by one. What effect will these few words have today? It’s hard to say, but at least a nail has been buried here.
The powerful families headed by the Five Surnames and Seven Families had influence across the entire social class. However, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, their power in the court was not very strong... In some aspects, they could not be compared with the Li and Tang royal families.
"Huairen should salute again." Li Jiancheng said with a smile: "This is the Liangyi Palace. My father discussed matters with the Prime Minister. Now that the Prime Minister is no longer here, Erlang and I call ourselves father."
Li Yuan sat upright with a smile. He really liked the young man in front of him. Although he had a lot of thoughts, he was fair, courageous and resourceful, had a benevolent heart, and was even more talented in poetry... The killing of Cui Bo was also considered a plus.
Items.
Well, he is handsome...and he happens to be from Chengji, Longxi, so he is a fellow countryman.
But Li Shan hesitated and stood there frozen, with a strange look on his face. After a while, he said: "Your Majesty, I will leave three days ago. Princess Pingyang... uh, I would like to address myself as aunt and nephew in the future..."
After the hall was quiet for a moment, the first person who couldn't help laughing was Li Shimin.
"Father, Third Sister is ahead of us!"
Li Yuan laughed and said: "Father and daughter are connected. My father wants to recognize a nephew. Unexpectedly, Pingyang is also like this!"
Li Jiancheng couldn't help laughing, "Robbing to recognize his nephew... no wonder Huairen is in trouble."
"Third sister is ahead..." Li Shimin coughed twice, "Should Huairen be called uncle?"
Li Shan's face turned dark. You, Li Shimin, are only seven years older than me, and you actually want to be my elder?
Li Yuan looked at this scene with a smile and was satisfied.
This is the scene that Li Yuan, an emperor who cannot be said to be weak in temperament, but always thinks of you and me and everyone, is most looking forward to seeing... If the eldest son and the second son can live in harmony, they will have no other aspirations in this life.
At this time, Li Shan suddenly bowed down and said, "My nephew Li Shan pays homage to my uncle."
"So you don't recognize Pingyang, but you recognize me?" Li Yuan said with a smile: "How will I explain to Pingyang in the future?"
Li Shan raised his head with a bitter look on his face, "My nephew suddenly thought of King Huaiyang."
Li Yuan laughed loudly and nodded repeatedly. The eldest son Li Jiancheng was nearly forty years old, the second son Li Shimin was also nearly thirty years old, and Li Daoxuan, the clan member who had the best friendship with Li Shan, was only twenty years old... Li Shan didn't want to call his friend uncle.
