Many people, including Li Yuan and Li Shimin, privately feel that the reason why Li Shan is more suitable for the position of Daizhou Governor is that it is difficult to place him. This is also the main reason that restricts Li Shan from returning to Beijing.
For such a great achievement, it is neither possible to be promoted to a noble title nor to be promoted to a high position, so why not just reward him with some money?
After all, he is young and belongs to the clan, so it is unlikely that he will be admitted to the three provinces and six tribes. This is the prerogative of the prince. How can other positions be compared with the world's best feudal official, Daizhou Governor?
Moreover, although Li Shan was included in the clan, he was not a relative of the royal family after all. In addition, although he had outstanding achievements, he was still far from the level of his superiors.
Now Li Yuan regrets that he suddenly thought of granting the title Prince of Handan at the beginning of the year. Otherwise, he would have been promoted several levels higher, so he wouldn't have to worry so much.
In other words, Li Shan’s merit is not particularly high, but it is difficult to reward him.
Regarding this issue, Li Shan had carefully considered it in Daizhou and discussed it with Ling Jing after returning to Beijing. The latter also brought Li Shimin's words...not to interfere.
Li Shan was quite surprised at the time. This attitude was a bit strange... Could it be that Li Shimin was dissatisfied with his decision to give up acting as the governor of the state?
But after Ling Jing's explanation, Li Shan suddenly felt MMP... Li Shimin was indeed in a dilemma.
"Before this battle, Dalang gave me some advice, and Shaoqing Zongzheng is a good one." Li Yuan smiled and said, "Huairen is fair in dealing with things, which is appropriate... By the way, this is Hongda's recommendation."
In Li Yuan's view, Pei Shiju is Li Shan's leader!
First, he was recommended as acting county magistrate, and he repeatedly achieved great achievements, and then recommended him as Zongzheng Shaoqing... It is a good story that has been passed down to later generations!
Moreover, he has a good relationship with the East Palace and the Prince of Qin’s Palace. It is appropriate to act fairly and impartially in Daizhou!
Li Shan coughed violently several times, lowered his head and coughed, secretly gritting his teeth, Pei Shiju, you bastard...just wait for me!
"However, Huairen has defeated the Turks this time, so Yue should be promoted." Li Yuan tried: "Zong Zhengqing is suitable, and it happens that Dou Cong resigned..."
Li Shan's head shook like a rattle, "Uncle, my nephew is young and won't be crowned until next year...Uncle is joking, joking."
How could you agree?!
Ling Jing had already carefully analyzed the pros and cons for him. Zong Zhengqing was previously held by Dou Cong, the Duke of Fufeng County. He had a disagreement with Li Shimin in his early years. Although he participated in the Luoyang War, he joined the East Palace sect early on.
In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the power of Zongzheng Temple was not small. Well, the prince could not control it, but most of the princes were definitely bound by it, as well as princesses, county heads, etc.
That's all, the concubines in the harem...that's beyond the control of Zongzheng Temple. It's a matter for Li Yuan and Concubine Wan Gui, but the relevant relatives are under the jurisdiction of Zongzheng Temple.
If Li Shan really enters Zongzheng Temple, whether it is Zong Zhengqing or Zongzheng Shaoqing, if something bad happens, he will really be in a dilemma!
For example, Concubine Yin De's father, Yin Ah Shu, broke Du Ruhui's fingers after beating him, and another example was that Prince Luo Yi of Yan County, who was also included in the clan, broke Fang Xuanling's fingers...
Does Li Shan care or not?
Who do you care about?
Favoring the King of Qin, Pei Shiju could first confirm his suspicions, and secondly, he could sow discord in front of the prince... That guy had already joined the King of Qin, although this really didn't count as sowing discord.
Preferring to the East Palace, what does Li Shimin think?
Even if Li Shimin doesn't complain, what about Changsun Wuji, who has always disliked Li Shan?
And what about Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, the pair who have suffered huge losses and are deaf and dumb?
Li Shan vaguely remembered that the history books recorded that Li Shimin had been at a disadvantage for a long time in the battle for the right to win the right to the throne... Part of the reason for the normal battle to win the right to the right to the right of the right was that the concubines in the harem gave Li Yuan a piece of cake.
Now Li Shimin can let Ling Jing pass the message...not to interfere, which is already good. He did not let Li Shan enter Zongzheng Temple and make good friends with the concubines through Li Shan.
Li Shan thought to himself that the battle he fought was worth it, otherwise he might really be able to serve as Zongzheng Shaoqing when he returned to the imperial court. At that time, he only had the merit of the Yanmen victory, but he was not as confident as he is now to refuse.
The reason why Li Shimin sent a message not to interfere... may also be related to his victory over the Turks this time.
"Then let's take up the post of General Zuo Wuwei." Li Yuan thought for a moment, "Hold a false position?"
Li Shan had already prepared it and took out a few cotton flowers from the package on the side. "Uncle, look, this is cotton."
"Yeah, I've seen it before." Li Yuan nodded.
"When stuffing cotton into clothes, the most important thing is to take out the cotton seeds." Li Shan gave a demonstration, holding the cotton seeds wrapped in cotton with his fingers, and it took a while to pick out one, "It's quite difficult... it's
It was with the help of the general supervisor that we made a machine for picking cotton seeds."
"Do you want to go to the general as a prisoner?" Li Yuan hesitated, "Now that there are no vacancies, the young craftsman is He Chou, the former great craftsman of the Sui Dynasty."
I heard this name Li Shan mentioned by Zhang Wenguan. He was an outstanding person. The cotton gin was made by this person.
During the Daye period, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty went on an expedition to Goguryeo. He ordered the famous Yu Wenkai to build the Liaoshui Bridge but failed and forced him to cross the river. General Mai Tiezhang died in the battle. Then He Chou took action. It is said that the bridge was built in two days.
What is even more amazing is yet to come, the expedition to Goguryeo. He Chou built a big city overnight, with a circumference of eight miles and a height of tens of meters. It was filled with soldiers holding flags. The people of Goguryeo were dumbfounded...
Li Shan was dumbfounded when he heard Zhang Wenguan's story that day!
"Uncle, you misunderstood." Li Shan pinched the cotton, "I heard that Sinong Qing is going to be vacant?"
"Sinong Qing?" Li Yuan was speechless. In addition to the empty duties of the three provinces, six ministries, and sixteen generals, there were also nine temples and five courtyards. Among them, the ones that were more suitable for Li Shan were probably Zongzheng Temple and Taipu Temple. The former had the highest official position.
One level higher, the latter is connected with Ma Yin, which can be considered as a reason.
Among the nine temples and five courtyards, the one with the lowest status is probably Sinong Qing. This does not mean the rank of the official, but the actual authority.
Sinong Temple was only established during the Northern Qi Dynasty. It was mainly responsible for grain storage, warehouse management and the supply of rice to officials in the capital. However, now that its authority has been usurped by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, its actual authority is quite limited.
"It's appropriate, right?" Li Shan teased, "You can't be appointed as the Forestry Department Commander, can you?"
Li Yuan couldn't help laughing. Sinong Temple has Shanglin Office, Taicang Office, Goudun Office, Government Office, etc., among which the Shanglin Office is mainly responsible for the palm garden and pond, planting fruits and vegetables for court meetings and offering sacrifices to monks.
Eat all the usual ingredients... and store ice in the spring for summer use.
Li Shan was just kidding himself. Your Majesty, don't you expect to use ice next summer? Then I might as well go to Sinong Temple.
In fact, Li Yuan can also guess what Li Shan is thinking. This man has just made great achievements, and there is no need to doubt his talent. Next, I am afraid that Da Lang and Erlang will want to recruit him, or at least accept him and make friends with him. Li Shan wants to
Get away.
Well, in fact, Li Shan had already participated in it, but Li Yuan didn't know it.
