In the next few days, Li Shan stayed at home and did not go anywhere. He closed the door and thanked guests on the pretext that the cold air entered his body, and did not see anyone... Although everyone knew that the so-called recuperation was an excuse, Ling Yan
He was so drunk in the pavilion that he looked like a sick person.
Well, Li Shan didn't even visit Princess Pingyang, although he really wanted to see the little niece who was named the princess by Li Yuan... Others didn't dare to say, but Li Shan was very sure that the original air
Absolutely not with this baby girl.
Until the end of the first lunar month, on the second day of the second lunar month, Ling Jing came to Li's house early in the morning and asked, "Have you thought about it?"
"Well, just today." Li Shanqian smiled and nodded, "Brother Xiaoqing happened to invite the Zhang family's eldest son to accompany him..."
Ling Jing thought for a while and whispered: "Pry some information and let King Bin calm down. Pei Hongda probably won't notice him."
After Li Shan returned to Beijing, he stayed in Cui Mansion for one day and then returned to Zhuangzi. He did not see anyone except Wang Renbiao, and even thanked the guests behind closed doors. The reason was that he needed to see Ma Zhou first.
Regardless of whether it is the prince or Pei Shiju, if the East Palace wants to take action, it is impossible not to go to Xuanwu Gate, and Ma Zhou, who is next to Chang He, the guard of Xuanwu Gate, cannot not see any signs.
In fact, Li Shan, Ling Jing, Li Shimin, and Fang Xuanling all felt that it was a bit tricky to use the chess piece Ma Zhou. If the King of Qin wanted to raise an army, it would naturally be of great use. After the prince entered the Tai Chi Palace, he would block the Xuanwu Gate.
, can cut off the Changlin army, but now that the East Palace may raise troops, and the King of Qin becomes the defensive party, it is difficult to say.
Because if it was the attacking party, the King of Qin would send generals to take over Xuanwu Gate at the beginning of the army. This is indeed the case in history. Zhang Gongjin closed the palace gate, Jing Junhong, and Lu Shiheng died in battle, but Changlin's army never broke through Xuanwu Gate.
Door.
But now they are on the defensive side. Unless the time for the prince to raise troops is determined, the King of Qin will not be able to send his confidants to guard the Xuanwu Gate...not to mention that Li Yuan will not agree, and even Chai Shao, who controls the Beiya Imperial Army, will not agree.
If the chess piece is Chang He, the guard of the Xuanwu Gate, it would be easy to handle... For this reason, Ling Jing also mentioned last night that Changsun Wuji had complained several times about this. Since he wanted to deploy people, why not choose Chang He?
Why choose Ma Zhou?
This is also the doubt in Ling Jing's heart. Ma Zhou has not been with Li Shan for a long time, but he has also experienced the Shandong War and traveled north to Daizhou. Even though the break is now open, he still has Li Shan's background... and Chang He
It’s different.
Ling Jing didn't think that Li Shanhui could conquer Chang He.
Ling Jing had asked vaguely several times before, but Li Shan could only vaguely answer... There is no way to explain it. In fact, the most inexplicable thing is why Chang He happened to become the guard of Xuanwu Gate.
Other aspects...well, there's no way to explain it, why use Ma Zhou instead of Chang He?
Until now, Li Shan can't confirm whether Chang He really joined the East Palace, or whether Li Shimin did it deliberately... If I remember correctly, Li Shimin buried a lot of chess pieces in the East Palace, and he also had a secret conversation before.
No denial.
Think about it, if Li Shan wins over Chang He, makes a promise, or seizes the opportunity to send him to the East Palace, and Chang He is actually Li Shimin's secret son... Yao Shou!
During breakfast, Li Shan seemed a little absent-minded, but Ling Jing was there and had a good appetite. Now the old man is working as a foreign minister in the Ministry of Personnel, and he is very comfortable in the Ministry of Personnel... After all, Yang Gongren, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, is above
He has a good personal relationship with Li Shan, and the one above him is the King of Qin.
Since the King of Qin exercised the power of the Shangshu Ling, many officials from the Tiance Mansion have entered the three provinces and six ministries. Pei Ji still has considerable influence because of his relationship with Li Yuan, but his power in the Shangshu Province has been greatly suppressed.
Nowadays, among the six departments, the one Dong Gong can control is the Xing Bu. After all, the Xing Bu Shangshu is the direct descendant of Dong Gong, Xingyang County Duke Zheng Shanguo.
However, since Ling Jing, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui entered the Three Provinces and Six Ministries, Changsun Wuji's authority in Tiance Mansion has been strengthened. Thinking of this, Li Shan smiled and said, "I heard that Du Zhili has been used in a very important role recently?"
Ling Jing nodded, "Your Highness has nothing to do. Yu Huchun... Du Zhili gave it all to Taichang Temple."
"Huh?" Li Shan was greatly surprised. Du Yan, the money-hungry man, actually didn't confiscate a penny... You must know that the amount of Yuhuchun used in the Jingzhou and Yuanzhou wars was not a small number.
"Your Highness?"
Ling Jing shook his head.
If it wasn't King Qin who suppressed him, it could only be Du Ruhui. But Ling Jing shook his head again and looked deeply at Li Shan, "It's Feng Deyi."
Li Shan's throat moved, and it turned out to be Feng Lun.
After thinking about it, Li Shan smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Feng Lun and Du Yan also have a relationship?"
"I don't know the inside story, I just heard it mentioned by Ke Ming." Ling Jing said in a low voice: "Since I and Xuan Ling, Ke Ming entered the court, most of the matters in Tiance Mansion have been auxiliary, with Du Zhili and Feng Deyi presiding over it."
"Feng Deyi is now Zhongshu Ling, right?"
Ling Jing explained: "Since the King of Qin took over the Shangshu Province, and Jiang Guogong was attached to him, Feng Deyi was a little embarrassed in the Zhongshu Province, so His Highness ordered him to take charge of the Tiance Mansion."
Li Shan's eyes rolled. This reason made sense. Since Li Yuan had no immediate plans to change his position, it would be impossible for Li Shimin to control all three provinces... Even if Li Shimin took over the East Palace, it would not be possible, otherwise
Who is the emperor?
"Feng Deyi wins the trust of His Highness?"
"Extremely trustworthy." Ling Jing said this slowly, his eyes collided with Li Shan's, and they both looked away.
Ling Jing remembered that when he was in Renshou Palace, Fan Shiyi came to report that Feng Lun had secretly met Qi King Li Yuanji at night.
Li Shan, on the other hand, connected Feng Lun, Du Yan, and King Qi. He almost guessed how Feng Lun "persuaded" Du Yan, but one thing is for sure, Feng Lun is likely to be related to Qi Wang.
There is a direct relationship with the king, but Du Yan will not... This person who wants to vote will also vote for the East Palace, and will not choose King Qi.
Li Shan became more and more curious. What clues did Feng Lun have that fell into the hands of King Qi?
As far as the current situation is concerned, King Qi is completely hopeless...and it seems that this man has no intention of stopping.
"By the way, where are you meeting today?" Ling Jing wiped his hands and said casually: "After all, when King Ma Bin left, you were not yet a prince, so Pei Shiju probably didn't notice it, but with your status now, be careful.
There are traces of leakage.”
"Of course you have to choose carefully..." Li Shan's eyes flickered, "On the night of the secret meeting with King Qin before the expedition, Pei Shiju sent men to keep an eye on the Cui Mansion."
"That's good, where to choose?"
Li Shan coughed twice, "After all, I haven't been out for a few days. Once I enter Chang'an, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hide my whereabouts, so I have to choose a prosperous place. As the saying goes, trees are in the forest and rocks are deep in the mountains. That's why..."
