Li Yuan, who had just come back, looked at Princess Pingyang with a smile, "There is still snow now, why do you want to enter the palace?"
Concubine Wan Gui, who was in charge of the harem, nodded in agreement and said: "Your Majesty is saying that although you are in good health, after all, on a snowy day, even if you are riding in a carriage, what can you do if you slip?"
Princess Pingyang smiled and said, "Father, the Duke of Julu came to visit yesterday and asked for something."
Li Yuan changed into light clothes and said, "Let's talk and listen."
"Su Dingfang will leave for Yongzhou to welcome his bride at the end of the month." Princess Pingyang said with a smile: "I have no choice but to ask for leave... because the schedule was set as early as November last year."
"Oh, I heard Huairen mention it." Li Yuan nodded and said, "It is said that she is the pharmacist's niece?"
"Yes, Duke Dai's eldest brother's young daughter died early." Princess Pingyang paused and then said: "Su Dingfang is preparing to transfer a group of generals from Daizhou's army to strengthen the Beiya Imperial Army."
"Huh?" Li Yuan frowned slightly.
"Some are military commanders who came from Su Dingfang's personal guards, some are children of Daizhou's local powerful tribes, and a few are from Shuozhou Army." Princess Pingyang didn't care, and said directly: "Part of the Beiya Forbidden Army was working on key problems back then. Some of the old men were soldiers from Guanzhong Prefecture and had made meritorious service in all the wars..."
Li Yuan pondered for a moment and nodded: "No more than fifteen people."
Li Yuan understood his daughter's words. The old man was close to the East Palace. Most of those who contributed to the meritorious service were once under the command of Erlang... Instead, it was the Daizhou Army, which had nothing to do with either side. It seemed that Su Dingfang was not stupid. If he wanted to control the Beiya Forbidden Army, he would have to use the can rest assured Used by human hands.
But then Li Yuan realized that it was probably Li Shan's idea for Su Dingfang.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan asked casually: "Where is Huairen?"
"It's been a while since I entered the palace."
Princess Pingyang hiccupped for a long time, then said indifferently: "Don't talk about entering the palace, he went to Yamen on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, he hasn't entered Sinong Temple yet!"
"What?!" Li Yuan was a little confused, "Where did he go?"
"We set off for Mount Li on the sixth day of the first lunar month." Princess Pingyang would not hide something like this for Li Shan. "It is said that she took her beautiful concubine and maidservant with her and climbed the mountain every day to enjoy the scenery..."
After a pause, Princess Pingyang added: "Bringing beautiful concubines and maidservants... was mentioned by Prince Huaiyang's younger brother. It is said that the Marquis of Qinghe County was quite displeased."
Li Yuan was stunned. It was so outrageous. It was February 26th today, and he had been in office for ten days, but he still hadn't come back.
"As a Sinong Qing!" Li Yuan slapped the desk, "You actually go out for fun and ignore official business!"
“Why didn’t the censor impeach?”
"Is the young minister of Sinong Temple mute?"
"You are so unscrupulous, Pingyang, you wouldn't..."
"My daughter has already sent her own bodyguards. It's Du Xiao. He lost his left hand in the battle at Guji Town." Princess Pingyang said expressionlessly: "Huairen said... As a Sinong Qing, he is patrolling the place. Its responsibility."
Li Yuan was stunned, "He went to Lishan Tang?"
"I soak in the hot spring bath every day."
Li Yuan couldn't help but laughed and cursed a few times. This guy is really good at taking advantage of the situation. The hot springs are under the jurisdiction of Sinong Temple.
"Go, call him here." Li Yuan scolded: "I have to return to Beijing today, otherwise I will ask the Marquis of Qinghe County to invite him in person tomorrow!"
Princess Pingyang burst into laughter, "Father...it is said that Cui Sheren is reluctant to part with his daughter and refuses to marry Huairen this year."
That afternoon, Li Shan rushed back to Chang'an City in despair. As soon as he entered the city, he carried a basket of fresh cucumbers to the Manna Palace.
"Meet uncle."
"This is... a courgette." Li Yuan snorted, "The hot spring soup with vegetables and fruits is used to recommend the mausoleum temple. What are you using it for?"
Li Shanqian laughed a few times and said, "My uncle has been staying in the palace for a long time and the charcoal fire is strong, so it is inevitable that his mouth will be dry... This cucumber is the most refreshing."
"Get up." Li Yuan glanced and cursed in his mind. He was worried every day in Chang'an. This guy's face was round during the New Year!
"You are lazy!"
Li Shan said aggrievedly: "Uncle, the city of Chang'an is turbulent now, and my nephew is alone and weak, so it's better to hide..."
Faced with this answer, Li Yuan had nothing to say... Calculating the time, Li Shan should have gone to the East Palace for a banquet, and immediately set off for Lishan after accepting the Qian Palace.
But wasn't that why he asked Su Dingfang to control the Beiya Imperial Army?
Li Shan was very familiar with it, so he asked the palace servants to wash the cucumbers and bring them up, and said with a smile: "Uncle, in a few years, the treasury will be full, and we can build Lishan Soup, Renshou Palace as a summer resort, and Renshou Palace in winter." Go to Lishan Hot Spring..."
"Then the censor will write a letter to admonish!" Li Yuan scolded: "Now that the world has been settled, there are still Turks spying!"
Li Shan smacked his lips, similar things had happened before, and censors liked to do this kind of thing the most. Sun Fujia, the censor's prime minister, was an expert, and was awarded a prize by Li Yuan for this.
After chatting for a while, Li Yuan suddenly said: "A few days ago, the prince recommended Li Shenfu, the general manager of Lingzhou, to be the general manager of Lingzhou Road March. What does Huairen think?"
Li Shanzhen wanted to reply, "Sit back and watch." "This is a major military and state matter. Your Majesty should discuss it with the Crown Prince, the King of Qin and all the ministers and ministers. I dare not speak nonsense."
"Huairen used to be in charge of the Governor's Office of the Prefecture and had contacts with the King of Xiangyi." Li Yuan said softly, "But it doesn't matter."
Li Shan touched his nose and said, "The King of Xiangyi once served as the general manager of the march in Hedong Road and the general manager of Bingzhou. He also acted on his own. However, last year he defeated the Turks several times in the battles in Hedong. I am afraid that the King of Xiangyi intends to make contributions..."
Li Yuan nodded slightly. He had never thought about this. Li Shenfu was driven from Hedong to Lingzhou. Once he left Hedong, he won a series of great victories. If he were to serve as a general, he would probably follow suit, but the problem is that he may not be able to win.
"If the king of Xiangyi is to be the main general, then he must choose a general to serve as his deputy." Li Shan said casually. Anyway, Li Shimin has already decided, and he is just waiting to see the joke in the East Palace.
If it were the original time and space, Li Shimin might not do this. After all, Li Jiancheng also had the military exploits to pacify Shandong and capture and kill Liu Heita... But in this life, Li Jiancheng did not.
Li Yuan smiled, thinking of the same thing as himself, but Li Shenfu was not very generous, and he had a bad fight with Liu Shirang back then. He had to choose a general who was both capable and humble, and who could not be Donggong. , a direct descendant of the Prince of Qin's Mansion, it is not easy to find such a candidate.
Seeing that Li Yuan was still frowning and thinking hard, Li Shan stood up and left. Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something, "Uncle, I will host the crowning ceremony on the third day of February..."
"You can't find any of your ancestors or elders in the clan?" Li Yuan was a little surprised.
"Um."
Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "Zong Zhengqing, Prince Zhao, will preside over it for you."
Now that everything was settled, Li Xiaogong presided over it. The chief guest was Cui Xin, and the deputy guest was Li Keshi... Although Li Keshi was an official of Tiance Mansion, the relationship between the two families was too deep.
As for the praisers, Li Shan thought about it on the way home. Unfortunately, Li Daozong was a county king, and Su Dingfang was about to leave for Yongzhou to welcome his bride. He really had to choose carefully. Generally speaking, the praisers were the lowest status, but those with the highest status were those with the highest status. The relationship between Li and Shan is the deepest.
