It's not too far from Chang'an to Daizhou, but it's not too close either. Although it's not a quick trip, it's still quite tiring. In addition, Duan Zhixuan was dealt with ruthlessly just after arriving. Li Shan rarely got a good night's sleep.
I had a good sleep, and rarely slept in the next day.
"Mr. Lang." Xiaoman, who looked particularly cute and cute with two small buns on his head, was lying on the bedside, his eyes as dark as paint swiveled, "I heard that Mrs. Cui has a strong temperament?"
Li Shan yawned and reached out to pull Xiaoman's nose, "Are you scared?"
"Mr. Lang..."
Xiaoman leaned back, causing Li Shan's hand to reach forward. It almost became an iron bridge... Li Shan glanced down and recalled in his mind, it had been two years since he came here, and the food was good.
, nutritional supplements.
On the other hand, Cui Shiniang... next time I talk about lotus, I can say, "The little lotus has just revealed its sharp corners, and a dragonfly has already stood on its head."
Hearing the noise inside, Ms. Zhou pushed open the door and came in to serve Li Shan, dress and wash. Xiao Man beside him was still chattering, obviously he had been suffocated for this period of time.
"You are well-informed. You just came back yesterday, and you actually found out everything." Li Shan put his arms around Xiaoman's slim waist and put it on his lap. "My mother likes her quite a lot. It's better for you to save your little thoughts."
Xiaoman raised his eyebrows at Mrs. Zhou, "Sister Zhou?"
Oops, an offensive and defensive alliance has been decided. Li Shan turned around to look at it with interest. He didn't care about this. In this era, there is no room for wives and concubines to fight... My status is too low, and there is no possibility of rising to the top. Fighting for the capital
She is not qualified to argue, and judging from various clues, although Cui Shiniang is young, she is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Mrs. Zhou had meekly arranged Li Shan's hair into a bun, lowered her head and whispered, "As long as you don't give up, I'll be satisfied."
In this era, it was common for high-ranking officials to give concubines to each other. The Zhou family was from a humble background. Although they were favored, they were secretly worried.
Li Shan couldn't help but smile, stretched out his fingers to lift Zhou's chin, "I can't bear to part with you."
At this time, the servant woman's report came from outside, saying that Zhang Gongjin was not driving on behalf of the state, and Xue Wanche, who was recording the affairs and joining the army, asked to see him.
"Let them wait in the side room." Li Shan explained casually, "What did you do in the morning?"
"I made mutton soup and ground the new wheat left over from last year to make soup cakes."
"Just take it to the side room, three portions." Li Shan sighed in his heart. In fact, he didn't eat much noodles in his previous life, and his main occupation was rice. But unfortunately, in Guanzhong at this time, there was little rice growing in Hedong.
Li Shan, who was dressed in a green shirt, stepped into the side room and glanced at Zhang Gongjin and Xue Wanche. They were pretty good and respectful... Li Shan actually didn't care much about whether they were respectful or not, but he did care about whether they were obedient.
Yesterday, he established his authority and spread throughout the counties. Duan Zhixuan, the trusted general on the right and second guard of the King of Qin, was driven back to the capital... Zhang Gongjin, Xue Wanche and others all knew that Duan Zhixuan suffered a terrible fall.
Under such circumstances, how dare Zhang Gongjin and Xue Wanche be disrespectful?
At least until Yongkang County Governor Li Jing takes office.
"I just didn't want to get involved, so I begged His Majesty to let Daizhou go." Li Shan said straight to the point: "I have no choice but to go through it until now. Prince, the King of Qin pushed these people over, eh... Fortunately, I only need one or two more to hold on.
It’s a month.”
Xue Wanche was a little restless, and Zhang Gongjin... even though he was quite wealthy, he couldn't help but have a slightly distorted face. Everyone knew this, but to say it so nakedly, the Prince of Handan County in front of him was not very well-behaved.
"On the Tiance Mansion side, Brother Hongshen is naturally the leader." Li Shan continued: "On the East Palace side, although Er Zhu Yichen is an official and a Sima, he is no more the prince's favorite general than Brother Xue."
After a pause, Li Shan smiled and said: "When I met with His Majesty, I proposed to send a general to lead the army into Mayi to help the Duke of Yiyang County. In the Liangyi Palace, His Highness King Qin recommended Xue Wanjun, the second guard on the left of Tiance Mansion... Actually, a certain person
Quite...it's a pity that His Majesty appointed Qin Wutong."
Zhang Gongjin and Xue Wanche looked at each other, and their expressions changed slightly. If Xue Wanjun settled in Mayi, once the Turks invaded, Daizhou would not be affected by the Donggong sect headed by Xue Wanche or the Qin king's lineage who was a colleague of Xue Wanjun.
Will sit back and watch.
And Li Shan's sense of regret is also very obvious... What he fears most is that Mayi will be surrounded, and the Daizhou army will sit back and watch.
Zhang Gongjin stood up and saluted: "Brother Wu Tong is an old member of His Highness King Qin. He is good at attacking and defending. He has a humble temperament and will surely be able to consolidate Mayi."
Xue Wanche stood up and shouted: "My ancestors all made great achievements by attacking the Turks. If the Turks invade in the future, I will attack with a spear and not let anyone fall behind!"
After a moment of silence, Li Shan said expressionlessly: "Both of you were in Hebei during the Shandong War the year before last. You should know the story!"
"What I hate the most is characters like Shi Wanbao!"
Xue Wanche and Zhang Gongjin both stood there in silence. They both knew clearly what Shi Wanbao had done and what fate he had.
"Under the East Palace Gate, there are officials in Tiance Mansion, but they are all your Majesty's ministers. They are all sent by Your Majesty to Daizhou to prepare for the Turks!"
Li Shan looked at Xue Wanche and said, "I know that you have an old grudge with Brother Dingfang."
"I dare not dethrone my official position for personal reasons..." Xue Wanche knew that there was another meaning in Li Shan's words. He was Luo Yi's old subordinate, and the Luo family and Li Shan had a deep hatred. Luo Yang's nose was crooked, and Luo Shou's legs were broken.
It's all wasted.
"Hahahaha, who knows!" Li Shan laughed loudly and shook his head: "The prince has been in the East Palace for many years. Although his military achievements are not as outstanding as His Highness King Qin's, he is also known as a virtuous man... secretly instigated Shi Wanbao to sit back and watch King Huaiyang fall into the trap.
middle?"
"No way!"
"It must not have been done by the prince!"
"One day, I was transporting grain and grass to Jizhou. I saw with my own eyes that Shi Wanbao and brother Daoxuan, the chief and deputy commanders, attacked each other and openly scolded each other. They had a personal grudge for a long time!"
"Remember what you said today." Li Shan wrote lightly: "You two are the top generals of Donggong and Tiance Mansion in Daizhou. Whenever there is any dispute, someone will only cause trouble for you two."
"I never expect you two to be as close as brothers, but there is one thing. Even if you are stabbing with a knife or a gun, you must be upright."
"If you want to do something evil, you must be absolutely sure that this Handan County Prince will be involved. There is absolutely no biological reason... Otherwise, I will turn around..."
Li Shan smiled gently and said: "What kind of consequences... you must not want to see."
Zhang Gongjin bowed and said, "In Daizhou, I only work hard on state affairs."
"The Prince has given many instructions, and all of them have been obeyed by the King of Handan." Xue Wanche also bowed and saluted.
"Anyway, I have already greeted the prince and the King of Qin. Whoever makes trouble will be sent back." Li Shan waved to the outside nonchalantly, and the maid brought the food plate, "Come, let's have a taste."
"Thank you, King Handan."
"Thank you, King Handan."
"After eating this bowl of noodle soup, I will treat you as if you have agreed." Li Shan took a few bites of the noodles and said with a smile, "Actually, I will send you back to the capital... I'm afraid the Lord of Yongkang County wants it."
Of course, Li Jing originally came from the Prince of Qin's palace and was always related to Li Shimin, but it was Li Yuan who rose up from the throne himself and is now a loyal and upright minister, vaguely leaning towards the East Palace.
Li Jing's political stance... Li Shan didn't know, but one thing was certain. Li Jing never wanted to get involved in this fight for the right to inherit the throne. If Li Shan drove away Zhang Gongjin and Xue Wanche, Li Jing would definitely be happy to see it happen.
