Standing on the top of the mountain, Li Shan looked at the army marching along the Jing River with amazement. This was a magnificent scene that could not be described in any film or television work.
Although the distance is a little far, the heavy snow has just stopped and the ground is muddy and not filled with smoke and dust, but the galloping army horses, the long bugles sounding from time to time, the endless army ranks, and the ships accompanying the army on the Jinghe River are all...
It gave Li Shan extreme shock.
Zhu Wei took two steps forward and said, "Dalang guessed it right, he is indeed the King of Qin."
"That day in Pingkangfang, I suddenly heard that the Tang army was defeated in Hebei, and someone shouted that the sage should ask the King of Qin to attack it..." Li Shan clicked his tongue and said: "I heard that the King of Qin was invincible in every battle, Qi Bo, is this really the case?"
These days, Li Shan and Zhu Wei often talk about the situation in the DPRK. Li Shan did it deliberately because he accidentally fell into the whirlpool. Although it has no impact at the moment, he can't resist his curiosity. On the one hand, it is because future generations will see
During the unclear Wude years, on the other hand, because of Zhu Wei, the Zhu family obviously had something to hide.
Zhu Wei also did this deliberately. He knew that although this young man was abandoned by his biological father, he would never be unknown in the future and would definitely enter an official career.
"Indeed." Zhu Wei snorted. The old man obviously didn't like Li Shimin too much.
Li Shan spied on Zhu Wei's expression and said with a smile: "Not to mention the East Palace, even a saint can't suppress him."
A few days ago, Li Shan had been in Zhujiagou and Dongshan Temple, but he also heard that the Tang army had lost ground in Hebei and that there was a big earthquake in Beijing.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, news came from Hebei that Liu Heitai had become the "King of Eastern Han Dynasty", with the title of "Tian Zao" and his capital in Mingzhou.
There was nothing left to do. Except for Li Shimin and Tiance Mansion, as well as Li Xiaogong and Li Jing who were still in the south of the Yangtze River, the other military generals were basically defeated by Liu Heita. Brother Xue Wanche was cut off and sent back, which was a big loss.
In this case, Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng could only release the fierce tiger Li Shimin.
"The saint and King Qin led the twelve generals on the left and right, and went to Tiance Mansion to suppress Liu Heita." Zhu Wei said softly: "If we return victorious..."
"The title of Admiral Tiance is not enough, the saint has to think of another title..." Li Shan smiled and said: "But this doesn't care about our business, right?"
Zhu Wei was stunned for a moment before laughing loudly, "That's natural. By the way, Dongshan Temple has received money for worshiping Buddhas and incense in the past few days, and is preparing to send it away..."
"Didn't we agree on Qi San?" Li Shanshun changed the topic with these words. The secret behind Zhu Wei is not important now.
No matter in the future, at least for now, I will have nothing to do with those nonsense, and I have to limit my gossip.
"No one in the village is willing to take it, and several clan elders even complained that I was too greedy." Zhu Wei sighed: "You mother and son first built a house and bought dozens of acres of fertile land..."
The two of them walked down the mountain while chatting. Along the way, many villagers saluted Li Shan respectfully and greeted him affectionately. They no longer looked disgusted with him a month ago.
The transaction between Li Shan and Xuanzang had been completed long ago. As the first temple to be inspected, Dongshan Temple escaped unscathed. Not only was it not abolished, it also became famous for its scriptures. At the end of the year, many dignitaries came to the temple to seek scriptures in person.
...For this reason, Li Shan was still copying scriptures on the night of New Year's Eve, and his hands were almost broken.
When dignitaries come to seek Buddhist scriptures, they naturally have to pay for some incense and money to pay homage to the Buddha... Li Shan, a black-hearted man, does not even set a price for Gewürztraminer. If he gives money to pay homage to the Buddha, he will give away a few bowls, and the maximum is only 20 per day.
bowl.
The most important thing is that Zhu Wei inquired about the news the day before yesterday. Along with the King of Qin, there were 3,000 soldiers led by Chang'an Ling Wangxu. Half of these soldiers were recruited due to the dismantling of the temple.
Now that the news of the Tang army's defeat in Hebei spread, Guanzhong was shocked three times a day. Except for some young and strong people in the village, most of the villagers were unwilling to go to the battlefield in Hebei.
You must know that today's Tang Dynasty is not the Tang Dynasty that dominates the world and dominates the world. How can Li Shan, who saved the villagers from this disaster, not be loved by the villagers?
"Stone, come on." Li Shan pulled over a seven or eight-year-old boy. It was this boy who stabbed Li Shan with a stick that day. "How is your father today?"
"Bang bang bang." Xiao Shitou knelt on the ground and banged his head three times again, "Daddy can get up now."
"This kid is too honest." Li Shan said with a smile: "Make some meat porridge to nourish your body. I'll go take a look tomorrow."
"I heard that after Wangri, your husband is going to build a new house, so please let me know in advance." The young man on the side said loudly.
"You're busy!" Zhu Wei responded, turning around and explaining to Li Shan: "This is Liu Lang, and all the houses in the village were built by him."
"I will definitely bother Brother Six when the time comes." Li Shan handed over his hand. There was no construction team in this era. If you want to build a house, you first need to find someone who knows the house, and secondly, you need to be popular and the villagers are willing to help.
After returning home, he went to the brazier to warm himself up. He saw his mother sewing new clothes. Li Shan casually said, "Mom, please sew one for Shi Qi."
The little monk who was drinking tofu nao on the side raised his little face and smiled. His parents died when he was young, and he had to be sent to a temple to survive. However, he has become Li Shan's follower for more than a month.
"You don't have to say it!" Mrs. Zhu snorted impatiently, "It's a pity that I couldn't catch up with this expedition to Hebei..."
"What did mother say?"
"If Da Lang could go to Hebei this time, he might become an official and the most important military merit in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China." Zhu said regretfully: "It's a pity, but it's hard to say, after all, you haven't stayed as a heir."
"After the New Year, you are already seventeen. Although you have not yet become a man, you have not yet married a wife... Well, we will wait until you become an official. You can take a concubine first, or buy two maids to serve..."
Li Shan was speechless as he was blocked. A few days ago, he was still thinking about whether he could pick the goods. After all, having a concubine is only for sex.
As a result, Mrs. Zhu gave a scolding... Li Shan didn't want to recall the specific description. He only remembered that his mother's standard was that a big butt was good for fertility.
After being stunned for a while, Li Shancai changed the topic and asked tentatively: "Mother, how can a child become an official?"
This is where Li Shan is confused. It seems that both his mother and Zhu Wei are sure that he can successfully serve as an official.
But in this era, although the nine-rank Zhongzheng system was completely abolished after the great dictator Sui Wen, the way for officials to become officials was still mainly through recommendation by the superiors and family members.
Li Shan has also thought about it these days. Unless his mother has an old relationship by marriage, the most likely way for him is to take the imperial examination. However, in the fourth year since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination has not yet been held... It won't wait until the Zhenguan period, right?
Zhu didn't stop her hands and only said: "Just wait, you'll get it eventually."
Although his reputation in the village has been completely cleared, and although the patriarch Zhu Wei attaches great importance to his opinions, at home, the Zhu family still regards Li Shan as an ignorant child and believes that there are other reasons for the survival of Dongshan Temple.
Li Shan was speechless. He had made insinuations many times in the past few days, but Zhu Wei and his mother always avoided talking about it, guessing that there was something taboo about it.
Please, I am a time traveler... Li Shan is a little upset. It doesn't matter if he is an unknown little person. What if Yang Wenqian is behind Zhujiagou and his mother? I really won't have any tears when the time comes!
Li Shan, who was upset, turned around and glanced at the tofu curd that the young monk was drinking. He scolded: "Seventeen, who taught you that there is sucrose in Gewürztraminer!"
