Li Shan looked at his wife who woke up from a nap and looked a little lazy, and suggested this. Cui Shiniang obediently asked the maid to fetch a blue cloak, and then personally picked out a black crane cloak for Li Shan.
Li Shan's clothes used to be in charge of the Zhou family and Xiaoman, but now they have been moved to the main courtyard and Cui Shiniang's maid has taken over. Xiaoman has been complaining about this for a while.
The two of them took a few maids for a stroll in the backyard and stopped when they reached the promenade on the lake in the garden to the east.
"You must have heard the name of your biological father." Li Shan said softly in a pretentious tone: "Dewu."
Cui Shiniang's first reaction was to frown slightly, because Li Shan read it directly without any hesitation, but then she suddenly woke up and turned to look at Li Shan, her eyes wide open with an expression of disbelief.
It turned out to be Li Dewu, the son-in-law of Pei Shiju, the provincial servant under his sect!
Even before she came to Chang'an, Cui Shiniang heard the story of the reunion, and lamented that the Pei family had worked hard for more than ten years, but she did not expect that such an inside story was hidden.
Countless pictures flashed through her mind one by one, and Cui Shiniang murmured in a low voice after a while, "No wonder, no wonder!"
Although not all, a large number of mysteries that have been lingering in my heart for a long time have been explained. The most typical one is why when my father Cui Xin allowed the engagement, the name of the father and ancestors in the other party's marriage certificate was empty, and why the marriage the day before yesterday, the day and the next day, and even
So far, there are no arrangements for worshiping the spirit tablet.
Li Dewu was a native of Chengji, Longxi County. He was exiled to Lingnan during the Sui Dynasty and did not return to Chang'an until the fourth year of Wude. All the details are correct.
It is not difficult to imagine what Li Dewu did. No wonder Princess Pingyang said that Lang Jun had a rough life. He was just a young man at that time and was abandoned as soon as he arrived in Chang'an... Cui Shiniang was about to say something, Li Shanyong said indifferently.
The tone continued: "In the fifth year of Wude, Liu Heitai raised his troops for the second time. The King of Qi stood firm on the Yellow River and stopped moving forward. A certain person escorted grain and grass north to Jizhou, but he was actually forced..."
Cui Shiniang's breathing stopped and her face turned slightly pale. She was so smart that she naturally understood what her husband had not finished saying. However, having been doted on by her parents since she was a child, she couldn't believe that there was such a father in the world.
"Tiger poison is like eating its seeds." Li Shan suddenly smiled, "But thanks to this, he jumped up. It is said that a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise..."
"That's it." Cui Shiniang repeated, "Princess Pingyang..."
Cui Shiniang often visited Princess Pingyang in the past two years. She knew that this daughter who was most favored by His Majesty had a somewhat cold temperament. Even the sisters had little contact. Among the female relatives who had the most contact with her, besides herself, she was Pei Shuying.
Now Cui Shiniang naturally knows the reason. Several times Princess Pingyang sent invitations and even sent people to invite Pei Shuying. It was always when Li Shan was in danger. It was Princess Pingyang's threat to Pei Shiju... not just Pei Shuying, but also Pei Shuying.
It is to face the descendants of Pei Shiju.
"Third sister and third brother-in-law are the insiders, as well as brother Demou and his parents, brother Xiaoqing, brother Dingfang and Uncle Ling." Li Shan walked slowly, "Pei Hongda should have been unaware of it until he said "
After taking the top spot in "Spring River with Flowers and Moonlight Night"."
"Pei Hong had many famous ministers in the dynasty who were very scheming and resourceful. Soon he recommended a certain person to be the acting county magistrate... But after all, it was difficult to talk about the matter, so he could only do it in secret. He was forced into danger several times and was thrown into danger several times.
Die and live.”
"I feel quite guilty when I say it. In November of the sixth year of Wude, my father-in-law was ordered to recruit Yuan Junzhang, but in fact he was implicated."
Cui Shiniang was a little unclear, so Li Shan explained a few words in a low voice, and the former understood that, in order to test, Pei Shiju was interested in Cui Lun, the niece of the Xu clan and the second son of the Cui family who lost his wife, but was flatly rejected by Cui Xin.
Afterwards, Pei Shiju pushed Cui Xin and Li Shan to the sword of the Turks.
"I heard my mother mention it." Cui Shiniang frowned and whispered, "She is the daughter of Pei Xuanyan."
"Huh?" Li Shan was unfamiliar with this name.
Cui Shiniang explained: "This person is the younger brother of Wenxi Pei's family in the West House. He joined the army in Jinyang, the sage, and later served as a dian in Prince Qi's palace."
Li Shan frowned, why is it King Qi again?
"In the battle of Luoyang in the fourth year of Wude, Pei Xuanyan accompanied the King of Qi on the expedition and made meritorious service." Cui Shiniang continued: "But after the war, Pei Xuanyan stayed in Luoyang... It is said that he was transferred to the Tiance Mansion that was being built, and died three days later. It is said that he was
Caught by Gelsemium poison."
The person is dead?
This was beyond Li Shan's expectation. It was probably King Qi's hand. Even if Pei Xuanyan betrayed King Qi, there was no need to be so cruel, right?
With his mind racing, Li Shan caught a point. Luoyang, it was in Luoyang, something must have happened in Luoyang... In addition to Li Shimin and Li Yuanji, there were also Pei Xuanyan and Feng Lun in Luoyang after the war.
After the Battle of Tiantai Mountain, although Qi King Li Yuanji was not disliked by Li Yuan, his performance at that time was enough to prove that this prince was like a king without a king. However, Feng Lun did not cut off his secret contacts with Li Yuanji.
Regarding this matter, Li Shan and Ling Jing had repeatedly thought and discussed it. The most likely possibility was that something about Feng Lun fell into Li Yuanji's hands, and it was probably directly related to Qin King Li Shimin.
Now it is known that Pei Xuanyan was poisoned and killed by Li Yuanji immediately after taking refuge in Tiance Mansion... Li Shan feels that he is getting closer and closer to the truth in the fog.
Cui Shiniang carefully looked at the unpredictable expression on her husband's face and added: "My mother once inquired that Pei Xuanyan was ordered to surrender to Tiance Mansion."
"Following the imperial edict?"
"Um."
Li Shan suddenly sneered. At that time, the Tiance Mansion had been established, and the King of Qin was already in a desperate situation. Li Yuan probably wanted to mix it in. In order not to irritate Li Shimin, he specially selected people from the Qi Prince's Mansion instead of the East Palace. As a result, he just entered
Just die.
Li Yuanji quickly poisoned Pei Xuanyan, indicating that this person must be an insider.
Li Shan was a little itchy but also a little wary. For a time traveler like him, how could such secrets not be itching? But it would definitely not be possible for Feng Lun, the prime minister, to abandon Li Shimin and collude with Qi King Li Yuanji.
It's a trivial matter, but I know it may not be of any benefit, and it may lead to trouble.
Seeing Li Shan's silence, Cui Shiniang continued: "Pei Xuanyan died in Wude four years ago, and his daughter is still in the period of filial piety, so the father retreated for this reason."
"After that, my father-in-law was ordered to recruit Yuan Junzhang, and Pei Shiju secretly sent someone to inform the Turks." Li Shan came back to his senses, "For ten days in Mayi, it seemed calm, but in fact it was thrilling. After breaking the camp on a snowy night, my husband made up his mind.
"
Cui Shiniang nodded silently. It was on that occasion that her father returned to the court and was granted the title of Marquis of Qinghe County, and decided to get engaged to the Li family.
