After changing their clothes and drinking ginger soup, the father and daughter sat opposite each other in silence... Li Dewu had been driven out of the small courtyard.
After a long silence, Pei Shiju sighed, "Everyone says that Li Shan puts benevolence and righteousness first, but in fact he has a deep scheming mind, mixed knowledge, and methods."
"This is not the first time that Li Dewu secretly sent him to Shandong to die, but Li Shan went against the current, jumped up, planned to make great achievements, and was awarded the title."
"They secretly manipulated the Chang'an County government, so that Li Shan could only go to the Jinshi Department, and "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" became famous all over the world."
Pei Shuying was a little stunned. Although she now knew that she and Li Shan would be enemies in the future, she still admired his amazing poetic talent...unexpectedly, she was forced out by Li Dewu.
"Later, Princess Pingyang became seriously ill, and Li Dewu secretly recommended her to the prince. Unexpectedly, Li Shan had a wonderful ability to rejuvenate her."
Listening to her father's slow narration, Pei Shuying had to admit that her father was right... What kind of waste is Li Dewu!
Such a son, and the eldest son at that, was a unicorn son who could lay the foundation of a family. However, Li Dewu tried every means to target him, and made the opponent avert danger to the next level time and time again.
"For his military exploits in Shandong, he was given the gift of saving his life. He was granted the title of County Duke, and he was favored by saints. The prince and the King of Qin all deliberately recruited him with tenderness. Although Li Shan has not yet been crowned, his weight in the court is not light."
Pei Shiju stared at his daughter opposite him with bright eyes, "Such a person has not yet been crowned, and his future is limitless."
"Li Dewu took action several times, but Li Shan never fought back... Is it true that there is no resentment or hatred?"
"No way."
"Such a person would swallow his anger or remain indifferent?"
Pei Shiju sneered and said: "The matter of Furong Garden, judging from its methods, it is the essence of retreating from others."
"In terms of scheming, skills, and connections, Li Dewu is far, far behind him."
"But they are father and son after all. No matter how angry Li Shan is, he can't point his finger at Li Dewu."
Hearing this, Pei Shuying finally understood and raised her eyebrows, "So, Li Shan will target me?"
"Not just you, but also a father." Pei Shiju smiled bitterly and said: "If he were a father instead of a prime minister, and was not from the Pei family in Hedong, why would Li Dewu abandon his wife and son?"
"This rumor will be revealed to the world one day. Li Dewu wanted to kill his son in order to gain wealth. Li Huairen was able to escape and was ridiculed by others. Naturally, the target will be directed at you and me."
Pei Shiju emphasized his tone and said: "This matter is not only related to Li Dewu, but also to the Pei family, and even to the family members of the Pei family in the west of Hedong."
Pei Shuying was silent for a moment and then asked: "What will he do?"
"What can he do?"
Pei Shiju smiled bitterly in his heart, isn't this time revenge?
Although he still doesn't know how his daughter discovered it, Pei Shiju is certain that Li Shan must have done something... There is no need to look for evidence for this kind of thing, free will is enough.
His vision is truly unique and his methods are excellent.
I have only one daughter in my life, whom I love like a treasure. My husband has been in exile for more than ten years and insists on not marrying, so I don't blame her too much. When my husband returns to Beijing and abandons his wife and son, I can tolerate it.
Why?
Naturally, he had to compromise for the sake of his daughter.
Indeed, Li Shan didn't know Pei Shiju's personal weaknesses, but he knew very well where the Pei family's weaknesses were?
No matter what Li Dewu's character is, after all, it is you, Pei Shiju, who took action this time. Since you dare to take action, don't blame me for stabbing you... If you take action for the sake of your daughter's happiness, I will set your backyard on fire!
But being able to insist on not getting married for more than ten years, and even going so far as to cut off her hair with a knife, shows that Pei Shuying has a strong temperament. Once the inside story is known, the couple will definitely stay in the same bed and have different dreams, and there will no longer be any love between husband and wife, even if they are not separated in this life.
Pei Shiju, who seemed calm, was actually gnashing his teeth. Li Shan, Li Shan, I am now nearly eighty years old. My children and nephews are all mediocre. How dare I pass away without solving you first?
After more than ten days of surgical care in Dai County, far northeast of Hebei Province, Li Shan has returned to Dai County... He really had enough of the cold words there.
However, Li Shan could also understand that he arrived in Mayi to build the wounded barracks only after the war, but he was ranked first in the memorial ceremony... This made the soldiers not feel resentful.
Li Gaoqian returned to Yanmen long ago. Gao Manzheng cut back on logistics supplies several times. Liu Shirang suddenly changed his attitude after a period of care... Li Shan naturally knew why. The old man was too arrogant and he had tried his best, but
Liu Shirang was still unhappy.
Maybe when Liu Shirang wanted to come and give you face, how dare you not continue?!
This is not giving me face!
Li Shan didn't say much, and returned to Dai County with the guards the next day. He originally wanted to bring back many wounded people to take care of them, but Gao Manzheng didn't allow it, and Li Shan didn't say much... He really thought that I was the first person to be benevolent and righteous!
Moreover, there are a lot of things going on here in Dai County, and there are countless things waiting for Li Shan.
When he returned to Dai County, the first thing Li Shan did was to check the autumn harvest. To put it mildly, he led his guards down to the Liutian Fields and organized the young men to take turns helping with the harvest. Now three thousand people have returned home...
From a profit perspective, you must also show your face.
Of course, Li Shan had no such dirty thoughts, they were all instigated by Ma Zhou.
Although the brick factory was shut down due to the rush to harvest, after the autumn harvest was over, many young people from all over the country heard about it and came to help. The construction speed was very fast. Qi Laosan patted his chest and promised to build ten brick kilns within a month.
"Lang Jun, there is a letter from sir." Zhou carefully placed the envelope on the table and changed it for a cup of hot water.
Opening the letter and reading it quickly, Li Shan had a smile on his lips. Everything was going according to plan. Ling Jing had not found the opportunity to spread the rumors, so he took advantage of Liu Shirang's resignation to fish in troubled waters.
Prince Li Jiancheng actually openly praised Li Dewu in the East Palace... I didn't expect that you also had the merit of recommending him during the Shandong War last year.
Li Shanqiang suppressed his smile and looked at the end of the letter. Ling Jing mentioned in a mocking tone that Li Dewu had not been on duty at the county government in the past few days. It was said that the Pei family's backyard was not peaceful recently.
After coming to this era and understanding the general situation, although he had a strong hatred for Li Dewu deep in his heart, Li Shan knew that the person standing in front of him was not Li Dewu, but Pei Shiju, the Hedong Pei family.
After two years of hard work, the entanglement between Li Shan, who had gained some weight, and this behemoth finally kicked off... Although now, it's just Pei Shiju.
Before taking office in Dai County, Li Shan had already made such psychological preparations and made sufficient arrangements. This time, poking the Pei family's hornet's nest was his first gift to Pei Shiju.
However, Ling Jing's letter did not only mention Pei Shiju.
Su Dingfang was appointed as the left guard Zhonglang General, which was regarded as his formal official service. Li Shan also knew what Su's mother was thinking, and such a famous general... to be honest, it was not very useful to keep him by his side.
If Mayi can be defended, it is unlikely that the Turks will invade Hedong. If Mayi cannot be defended, Li Shan's plan to persuade the capital in Dai County will come to nothing.
It’s impossible to let Su Dingfang go to Mayi, right?
It's better to stay in Beijing and be regarded as my back-up.
After Li Shan pondered for a moment, his mind turned to the last question.
Liu Shirang was knighted again, but not to the original Duke of Hongnong County, but to the Duke of Yiyang County. He was given a manor, 100 acres of land, and thirty male and female servants.
None of this is critical.
The key point is that although the Prime Minister officially proposed to reestablish the Daizhou General Manager's Office, the sage Li Yuan was noncommittal...Liu Shirang may not be able to take the Daizhou General Manager into his arms.
After thinking for a long time, Li Shan dropped the letter and let it go. Anyway, he and Liu Shirang would not have much contact in the future.
