Li Shan took a half-step forward without hesitation...
Wave again.
Li Shanqian smiled and took another half step forward...
If the mountain can't be overcome, I will go over... Li Yuan definitely didn't know this sentence, but he definitely understood the meaning. He casually picked up the Yu Ruyi at hand, walked over, and slapped Li Shan on the shoulder.
"Uncle, spare your life, uncle, spare your life..." Li Shan did not dare to dodge, covering his face with his hands, "Third sister, third sister..."
Princess Pingyang looked at this scene with an expressionless face, but she was thinking in her heart that this guy is really smart. He can switch between the two titles "Uncle" and "Your Majesty" easily.
Li Yuan obviously also heard that, calling his uncle for mercy instead of His Majesty's forgiveness, Li Shan deliberately kept the matter under wraps rather than exposing it to the public.
But he really couldn't bear this tone, so Li Yuan hit him a few more times before stopping, and cursed: "You are so young, I asked you to go to Dai County to practice for a while, look what you have done?!"
Li Shan said aggrievedly: "My nephew was ordered to set up a wounded military camp in Dai County, and was ordered to recruit Yuan Junzhang, and was ordered..."
"Shut up!" Princess Pingyang has always been taciturn and rarely treats people warmly, but she rarely scolds, "Since Yu Sheshe has been killed for such a big matter, let's just kill all the members this time..."
Li Shan burped for no reason, "Third Sister, isn't this bad?"
"Kill the association leader, and the alliance will be natural. Tuli Khan will not bring up the old things again, and all the blame will be covered up. What's wrong?" Princess Pingyang sighed: "It seems to be quite capable, and there is a city, but
In fact...this is because you are good at planning for the country, but bad at planning for yourself!"
Li Yuan had been silently listening to his daughter's seemingly reprimanding but actually excusing words, but at the end he couldn't help but change his face slightly and repeated: "He is good at planning for the country, but he is bad at planning for his own life..."
From the perspective of Li Tang, there was no doubt that reaching an alliance with Tuli Khan was of great benefit, but for Li Shimin and Tuli Khan to sworn brothers... this matter was filled with endless unexplainable implications.
It can be understood that Tuli Khan relied on his bravery, and the only brother of the Li Tang clan was Qin Wang Li Shimin.
It can also be understood that Tuli Khan believed that Li Shimin's army would be the most important person to check and balance Jieli Khan in the future.
It can also be understood that Tuli Khan felt that the winner of the battle to seize the direct descendants must be Li Shimin, so he wanted to sign an alliance with the next generation of Tang emperors.
But no matter how you understand it, it is difficult for Li Yuan to deal with...it is difficult to deal with the relationship between the brothers, Prince Li Jiancheng and King Qin Li Shimin.
I was already so nervous. If Li Shimin really became brothers with Tuli Khan, then the prestige of the East Palace would be almost nothing!
In this case, Li Shan's situation...even if he didn't rely on either side before, after this incident, everyone will regard him as Li Shimin's person, and the East Palace will definitely hate him to the bone.
It would not be so easy for Li Shan if he wanted to have both sides, and if he wanted to stay out of the whirlpool... That's why Princess Pingyang made this comment: "He is good at planning for the country, but bad at planning for his own life."
After Li Yuan pondered for a moment, he turned to look at Pingyang, "When will Huairen arrive in Chang'an today?"
"Du Xiao from my daughter's side came to report the news, and Huairen has been waiting by the Ba Bridge." Princess Pingyang replied simply: "I said I had something private to report to my father, but I didn't expect it to be something like this."
The meaning is obvious. The first thing Li Shan did when he arrived in Chang'an was to meet him in person, and he had no contact with anyone else.
Li Shan looked at Li Yuan pitifully, his eyes full of helplessness and hope... He did not inform Li Shimin of this matter in advance through Ling Jing, so he was not afraid at all.
Li Yuan rubbed his brows, "Since Huairen is in charge of this matter, how can you deal with it?"
"Your Majesty, I just now...do my merits and demerits outweigh each other?"
"Of course the merits and demerits are equal to each other!" Li Yuan sneered: "And he also earned a big favor from Erlang!"
Earning a favor from Li Shimin... is tantamount to offending the East Palace to death.
"Uncle, I requested to be released to Dai County that day just for..."
"Say!" Li Yuan sighed inwardly. He also knew that Li Shan's request for release last year was largely due to the East Palace. The Qin Palace had recruited Huairou several times. He also knew that Li Shan was in trouble this time. Who would have thought that Tuli Khan would be like this?
poison.
But this problem was clearly placed in front of Li Yuan... if he did not go well, the battle for the right to inherit the throne would probably break out completely, triggering civil strife in Li Tang.
Li Shan said sternly: "I have received your majesty's trust, so I went north to Daizhou and tried my best to manage it, but I have done very little. But after all, I am still young and have not yet been crowned. It is really difficult for me to take charge of the general manager's office of Daizhou. I would like to ask your majesty to choose someone else...
…”
"You have caused such a big mess, and you want to get rid of it now?" Li Yuan scolded: "If this is the case, I will immediately issue an edict. Acting Governor Shi Li Huairen secretly communicates with Tuli Khan, so that the King of Qin and Tuli Khan will become brothers and sign an alliance!
"
Li Shan's face turned green, and he turned to look at Princess Pingyang, "Third Sister..."
"What do you think Pingyang?"
"It is the father's decision to make such matters." Princess Pingyang said calmly: "My daughter heard that Huairen personally led the troops out of the fortress and defeated the Turks. It must have taken several years and she has mastered riding and shooting. She should give it a try in the Forbidden Garden later."
Li Yuan nodded, "Practice more."
"My daughter obeys."
Li Shan's eyes were full of resentment, as he said just now... He was surrounded by personal guards from beginning to end, and he didn't even come face to face with the Turks. What else are you trying to do?
Seeing Li Yuan deep in thought, Li Shan said cautiously: "Your Majesty, it may not be as Tuli Khan said, right?"
Li Yuan nodded slightly. This is for sure. It is absolutely impossible for Erlang and Tuli Khan to become sworn sworn brothers. This has been abandoned by Li Yuan. But in what way can it be replaced?
Li Shan continued: "Your Majesty..."
"Huh?" Li Yuan heard that Li Shan didn't say anything and looked up. The guy's eyes were wandering on him.
Li Yuan's pupils shrank, and he picked up Yu Ruyi, "How brave!"
Princess Pingyang on the side was speechless. Indeed, this is a good idea... What kind of person is Tuli Khan? What qualifications does the King of Qin have to be sworn brother with him? As the emperor of Tang Dynasty, he is the ninth emperor, so he has this qualification!
After watching his daughter drag Li Shan away, Li Yuancai left Yu Ruyi behind and cursed a few curse words. "Tuli Khan is only in his early twenties this year. How old am I?"
Back then, I was called brother to Shibi Khan, but now I am sworn brother to his son?
What a bad idea this guy has come up with!
An hour later, a tired Li Shan appeared on Chengtianmen Street and was ravaged by Princess Pingyang. There were still traces of dirt on his body.
"Huairen has returned to the court." Chen Shuda said with a smile: "In order to drive away the Qingqi, the heavy snow covered the bow and sword, showing the heroic spirit of the North."
"Thank you very much Mr. Chen Guo for your praise."
Li Shan was about to say a few words when Zhongshu Ling Yang Gongren, who had just come out of Taiji Palace and passed by, interrupted: "His Majesty just issued an edict..."
After a pause, Yang Gongren said with a strange expression: "Acting Governor Shi Li Shan treated the Turkic envoy harshly and fined him three years' salary."
