"Brother Demou." Li Shan stretched out and complained, "Isn't the Hu stool good?"
Li Kai smiled and echoed a few words. In fact, Hu tables and Hu stools have been popular in Chang'an for a long time now, but the imperial city only pays attention to etiquette.
"As it should be." Li Yiyan said softly: "My ancestral home is Li's Guzangfang, Longxi, but I was born in Changle, Weizhou, and grew up in Guantao, Weizhou."
During the Shandong War, Li Shan helped the Tang army defend Guantao, and his fantastic ideas enabled the Tang army to defeat Liu Heitao, so Li Yiyan had this saying.
"Then you are no longer an outsider." Li Shan waved his hand and said, "Let's go have a drink!"
Li Kai wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak. He just got on his horse and left.
If you want to have a drink together, of course you have to go to Dongshan Restaurant. Although it is a reservation system, the restaurant always reserves two private rooms every day in case of emergencies.
Just outside the restaurant, before he could get off his horse, the sound of horse hooves came from ahead. Li Shan turned his head and saw a middle-aged man riding beside a carriage with a worried look on his face and a frown on his face.
Li Kai coughed twice, turned over and dismounted, and saluted: "Greetings to Duke Huo."
Everyone bowed accordingly.
"De Mou." The middle-aged man nodded slightly, his unfocused gaze swept over everyone's faces, and his horse did not stop, still accompanying the carriage.
Li Qian on the side said in a low voice: "Huo Guogong, the general of the right Xiaowei who leads the twelve guards, Princess Shang Pingyang, has made many military achievements..."
Oh oh oh, it’s Chai Shao!
Later, one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, and of course, the most legendary one was his wife.
Li Shan was refreshed, and he didn't know whether the legendary Princess Pingyang's maiden name was Li Xiuning...
Everyone entered the restaurant and sat down in the box. Li Qian said very familiarly, "I've heard about Yu Hu Chun for a long time, Huairen, can you have a drink today?"
Li Kai coughed twice and said, "The Yuhu Spring Festival is too strong. Huairen has to leave the city and return home today. I'm afraid my aunt will ask about going to the exam..."
Logically speaking, Yuhuchun should supply Dongshan Restaurant, but in the past month or so, the production has gradually increased, but it is still far from meeting the demand. Li Kai specifically explained that the restaurant will not use Yuhuchun for the time being.
"It will be delivered to Brother Li's house tomorrow." Li Shan said with a smile: "I want to taste the grape wine today... By the way, Princess Pingyang is still stationed in Taiyuan Mansion?"
"Yes, I have been stationed in Bingzhou." Li Yiyan nodded.
The so-called Taiyuan Prefecture is Bingzhou. In the second year of Wude, Liu Wu and Zhou sent General Song Jingang to attack Hedong, break Jinyang and capture Taiyuan. Qi King Li Yuanji only escaped with his own life.
Later Qin King Li Shimin tried to turn the tide. Starting from the third year of Wude, Princess Pingyang was sent by the sage Li Yuan to lead the army to Weize County to fight against the Turks in the north and Hebei in the east. It has been three years now.
Li Kai suddenly whispered: "Last month, the saint wanted to recruit Princess Pingyang back to the capital."
"Is Princess Pingyang in that carriage just now?"
"Probably not. Princess Pingyang leads the army into battle, takes the lead, and gallops into battle. How can she ride in a carriage?"
Li Shan lowered his head and looked at the wine in the wine glass, thinking... Anyway, he remembered that Princess Pingyang died of illness during the Wude period.
It is now the sixth year of martial virtue. Historically, a martial virtue dynasty only lasts for nine years. There are three years left... Could it be that this is the year it will be accomplished?
History does not record how Princess Pingyang died. She must have died of illness. I don’t know what the illness was...
Li Shan decided to go back at night to study the mold that had grown in the greenhouse... Last year in Guantao, he decided to try to see if he could get penicillin.
It is really difficult. The key lies in two points. One is toxicity. It is easy to mix patulin with cultivated penicillin, which is toxic. If the proportion of the latter is too large... you need to find some livestock for experiments.
The second is purification. Li Shan didn't have a good solution for this at the moment, but the human body of this era is stronger than that of later generations. Well, it may also have something to do with the surrounding environment and medical environment.
After chatting for a while, Li Shan put the matter behind him. Even if he had penicillin, it might not be useful. He still didn't know what kind of disease Princess Pingyang had.
Li Shan liked today's wine quite a lot. It tasted very good and was not astringent at all... Well, there was nothing I could do about it. In his previous life, Li Shan was a country bumpkin and he only drank cheap red wine sold in supermarkets.
After tossing around for more than an hour, after having enough wine and food, they went back to their respective homes after noon. Li Kai took Li Shan back home and went straight to the study.
Li Keshi and Li Qianyou also just came back, looking a little solemn.
"Uncle, uncle, why are you frowning?" Li Shan smiled and stepped forward to salute and complained: "This dynasty has an imperial examination to obtain scholars. There should be a test room every year. If it doesn't work, go to the Imperial College..."
Li Kai glanced at Li Shan, who was still blushing, and said: "Today... Huairen drank a few more glasses."
Master Li smiled and said, "Huairen, what poem did you write today?"
"Come and listen!"
"Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning..."
This was the first time that Li Qianyou saw Li Shan looking so naive, and he couldn't help but joked: "I heard something that I understand a little bit."
Li Kai held back his laughter and pulled Li Shan out, washed his face, and asked the servant to bring him sobering soup. After a while of fussing, he returned to the study.
"I'm so rude." Li Shanqian laughed twice, "Uncle, uncle, you can speak frankly. Who made the move?"
No need to ask more, Li Kai dragged him here, naturally because of the closure of Yuhuchun. Li Keshi and Li Qianyou were both present, so it was obvious that the other party had a lot of background.
"Wei Qingsi." Li Qianyou said briefly: "Jingzhao Weishi, Prince's Family Order."
Li Shan was startled, "The prince's family order...Jingzhao Weishi...could it be the prince Zuowei leading the Fuyang County men?"
This judgment is very simple. Wei Ting is a close friend of the prince. Although his position in the East Palace is not high, his actual status is very high. He is only slightly lower than Wang Gui and Wei Zheng, but his close relationship is more than that.
Li Qianyou shook his head, "I don't know yet, but Wei Qingsi and Wei Ting are both from the same family, but they are not from the same family."
Li Shandeng breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed to be the private behavior of the prince's family.
"Huairen should know that King Qi is attached to the East Palace, so I cannot interfere in this matter." Li Qianyou sighed: "The prince asked a saint to give him a name before, with the intention of being gentle... If Huairen is looking for the prince... that's all, I also know Huairen's intentions. , Otherwise, why would you take the imperial examination and become an official?"
Li Qianyou can understand Li Shan and why Li Shan chooses a neutral position. He is already famous at such a young age. There is really no need to get involved in this battle for the right to inherit the throne... Once you go to the prince, the matter will be easy to solve, but it will be difficult to remain neutral. position.
Li Keshi and Li Kai, father and son, looked at each other with expressionless expressions but both smiled bitterly in their hearts... Li Shan's stance has been chosen long ago. Do you really think he will be impartial?
"Uncle, don't worry." Li Shan smiled and said, "My nephew doesn't take these things to heart. I would like to thank my uncle for informing me today."
"The prince wanted to be gentle before, but nothing happened recently..."
"Jingzhao Weishi has such a great reputation. If it doesn't work, we'll close that wine shop." Li Keshi waved his hand and said, "If Wei Qingsi doesn't let go, someone will come forward."
"Uncle, it's better not to come forward." Li Shan shrugged, "If Webster asks for it, just give it to them."
Li Keshi and Li Qianyou both felt that Li Shan was speaking out of anger...but this time, Li Shan was telling the truth.
I really don’t care. When Li Er ascends the throne, he can collect the debt by himself, and he can still add interest.
