The snow was getting heavier, and Li Shan took a few steps outside the door. His clothes were suddenly blown away, and the jade pendant hanging at the corner of his clothes was blown up.
The north wind was so strong, but the snowflakes in the sky did not dance with the wind, but fell straight down. The wind and snow were so dense that it was difficult to see from a distance. Li Shan could faintly see a figure flickering at the entrance of the yard not far away.
"Mr. Lang, this is Li Gaoqian." Zhu Ba, the gatekeeper, limped back to report.
"Let him come in." Li Shan thought to himself that Li Gaoqian was scolded by him last night and he would come to the door today... But that's fine, if he didn't come, he would have Cui Xin to talk to him. Now that he came, it would seem
It's more natural.
Yesterday's small tricks were just to use force to suppress others, but today he wanted to treat others with sincerity. Li Shan stood under the eaves and solemnly saluted Li Gaoqian, who was covered in white snow.
"For ten days in Mayi, the butcher's knife was hanging from my neck all the time. I tossed and turned every night and couldn't fall asleep. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to make it back to Yanmen alive." Li Shan sighed softly: "If it was Ashina Yugushe who went south, my little brother would have been crushed by now.
Sweeping ashes.”
"I was so angry at the moment that I didn't have time to think about it carefully. I acted rashly yesterday. Please forgive me, brother Gao Qian."
Li Gaoqian was speechless. He came today to scapegoat... Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, this young man who had just made a great achievement would apologize for what happened yesterday.
But Li Gaoqian was a little confused. Why did Li Shan rule out his suspicion so quickly?
"Please." Li Shanyan asked Li Gao to move inside, and asked the guards to get dry clothes to change into... This guy must have been waiting outside for a long time, and his body was covered with snow.
"Why..."
"I have thought about it carefully." Li Shan smiled bitterly and said: "The King of Huaiyang and Brother Gao Qian... you also know that I and Brother Daoxuan are close friends of life and death, so you will not doubt him..."
Li Gaoqian's face also showed a bitter look, it was either King Huaiyang or me...According to common sense, this is indeed the case. This is also the reason why Li Gaoqian came today.
You know, I'm not the only one who knows the inside story and has motives.
"Except for the big defeat, Brother Gao Qian and the Marquis of Yiyang County only had a few quarrels." Li Shan continued: "Even if Brother Gao Qian is angry about some trivial matters, it will not ruin the recruitment..."
After a pause, Li Shan leaned forward and whispered: "Liu Shirang is just a younger brother, but Cui Sheren is trapped in Mayi. Even if most of the Cui family's descendants in Qinghe are attached to the East Palace, the prince cannot protect you."
Li Gaoqian nodded his head in agreement. If it was really him who did it, and Cui Xin and Li Shan died in Mayi... the East Palace might not be able to keep his name.
Li Shan went north for three years and served as an official for half a year, but the connections he made should not be underestimated... Just because of his life-saving kindness, there were Su Dingfang, Ling Jing, Li Daoxuan, Wei Zheng, Princess Pingyang, mixed with the forces from the East Palace, the Qin Palace and even His Majesty. Even though Li Shan
Zeng was moved to Gao and granted the title of Duke. As a hero of Yuanmou, it was extremely difficult to resist.
"Brother Gao Qian, please don't blame me for what happened to Liu Shirang." Li Shan shook his head and said: "On the one hand, the leader of the personal guard Wang Junhao, although he is the nephew of the famous general Wang Fubao, is sharp in the battle, and is good at riding and shooting. He will not let Su Dingfang, but only
He was brave, but not good at leading troops, and he attacked the camp on a snowy night... Only Liu Shirang could do this at that time."
Li Gaoqian smiled bitterly and said: "Time is also destiny."
"On the other hand, I am determined to let Liu Shirang garrison in Mayi." Li Shan spread his hands, "It is really helpless to use Liu Shirang this time... Yuan Junzhang surrendered to the Tang Dynasty out of desperation, but His Majesty will not allow him to stay for a long time.
Shuozhou, you must know that he and Luo Yi are different."
"Who else can be used besides Liu Shirang? He killed Yu Sheshe. Are you willing to go, brother Gao Qian?"
Faced with such an explanation, Li Gaoqian was speechless. Faced with the Turks who could move south and eastward at least twice a year, and faced with the possible wrath of Jieli Khan, who would defend Mayi...
Under tremendous pressure.
Liu Shirang had been forced into a desperate situation before and was surrounded on all sides... he must have been willing to bear such a heavy burden, not to mention the killing of Yu Sheshe, which made it impossible for Liu Shirang to surrender the enemy.
"But brother Gao Qian, don't worry. After this incident, the Marquis of Yiyang County should restrain himself." Li Shan advised: "The worst thing is that we will not see each other in the future."
Li Gaoqian was still angry... He thought that if Liu Shirang escaped this disaster and got His Majesty's permission to stay in Shuozhou for a long time, he might be able to act as the governor of Shuozhou.
At this time, Li Shan let out a long sigh, "But... at that time, Cui Sheren was wearing an official uniform, holding a knight's uniform and an iron coupon, and was about to read out His Majesty's edict. The Turkic cavalry suddenly appeared. It is no coincidence!"
"Who is it...?"
Li Gaoqian coughed twice, "The Marquis of Yiyang County was arrogant back then and offended countless people, such as..."
"for example?"
"For example, the King of Xiangyi." Li Gaoqian stared at the tea cup at hand, "In the world, the King of Xiangyi hates the Marquis of Yiyang County the most."
Li Shan's eyes flickered, his eyes collided with Li Gaoqian's and then they both looked away.
When Cui Xin and Li Shan went out to Mayi to recruit Yuan Junzhang, they secretly communicated with the Turks... The most likely people who had this ability and this motive were Li Shenfu and Li Gaoqian.
Li Gaoqian knew it was not him who did it, but could it be Li Shenfu... Li Gaoqian was a little unsure, at least that guy was suspected of it.
This is also the reason why Li Gaoqian came to visit today. He tried to blame Li Shenfu... Huairen, think about it, the hatred between Li Shenfu and Liu Shirang is so deep, it must have been him.
And today's scene was also deliberately done by Li Shan... With Li Shenfu, the commander-in-chief of the march in Hedong Road, Liu Shirang was in danger in Mayi. You must know that Li Daoxuan, the king of Huaiyang, could not stay in Hedong for a long time.
Of course, if Li Daoxuan robs the marching manager of Hedong Road... everything will be easy to say.
The two of them have their own hidden agendas, but their goals are the same. Li Shenfu has to take the blame.
But Li Shan stayed out of the matter to consider the future situation, but Li Gaoqian was different. You must know that he was the one who accused Liu Shirang of secretly collaborating with the Turks. In order not to be held accountable by the DPRK, he had to get Li Shan to personally command Ma Yi to recruit him.
Principal’s support.
After hearing Li Gaoqian's vague words, Li Shan waved his hand and said, "Brother Gao Qian, don't worry. Reporting Liu Shirang is not a frame-up, but a major military and national matter."
Li Gaoqian's eyes almost fell off... How else can he explain it this way?
"Since the King of Huaiyang led his army to Hedong Road, my younger brother, with the support of Brother Daoxuan and the help of Xue Zhong, Brother Gaoqian, and Marquis Kanleng of Linji County, controlled the gate of Yanmen and took over Liu Shirang. Why did he come?" Li Shan
He smiled and said: "On that day, I was also afraid that Liu Shirang would surrender, so I had no choice but to do it."
"My younger brother has fully stated this matter in a secret letter. Your Majesty will certainly not blame you."
Li Gaoqian immediately felt relieved and thanked him repeatedly.
