Li Shan had a vague suspicion in his heart. When he returned to Beijing from Shandong the year before last, he had considered that because Prince Li Jiancheng failed to capture and kill Liu Heitai and pacify Shandong, the conflict between the East Palace and the Qin Palace would probably
It quickly intensified, leading to the early end of the battle to seize the heir... Maybe there will be a change in the Xuanwu Sect, maybe in other ways.
But when he returned to Beijing this time, Li Shan felt that if there really was a change in the Xuanwu Gate, it would probably be postponed.
Historically, Li Shimin initiated the Xuanwu Gate Rebellion for both internal and external reasons. There were Turks from outside who repeatedly invaded Hedong, and there was a road inside the pass. There was a prince inside, and the King of Qi was aggressive. The King of Qi got Li Yuan's acquiescence, and he was good at transferring the generals of Tiance Mansion, Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong.
, prepare to lead the army on an expedition.
As Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others said, if Li Shimin did not work hard, not only would his great cause be difficult to achieve, but Li and Tang's entire dynasty would be in danger of overthrowing.
It can be said that after it was determined that Li Shimin could not enter the East Palace through normal means, it was because of the coercion from the Turks and Prince Qi that he decided to overturn the situation.
Now, although he does not remember the specific details, Li Shan can be sure that the pressure exerted by the Turks on Li Tang in this life is likely to be much weaker than in the original time and space.
For example, in this life, if the Turks cannot invade Hedong this year, it will be difficult for Li Shimin to have the opportunity to go out to control Hedong... In history, Li Shimin has been cornered by the East Palace at this time, and Li Yuan even rebuked him in person, if the Turks hadn't happened to attack.
, maybe Li Shimin will rebel in advance to seize the throne.
But we can’t let go of Yanmen Pass and allow the Turks to invade Hedong, right?
In this case, what does Li Shan's efforts in Daizhou for more than half a year count?
Therefore, Li Shan made this logical but not very certain judgment. If there is a mutiny similar to the Xuanwu Gate Rebellion in this life, the time point is likely to be after the Xuanwu Gate Rebellion in the original time and space.
In this way, it is necessary to reserve food in advance... maybe it will be useful when.
After watching Zhu Wei leave in a hurry, Li Shan wandered around the west of the village for a while and took a fancy to a relatively flat piece of land... He intended to rebuild Li's house.
Although both Cui Xin and his mother hope that Li Shan will live in the mansion in Yanshoufang after they get married, before Li Shimin comes to power, Li Shan still hopes to live outside the city... The storm caused by his time-traveling butterfly is getting bigger and bigger.
Li Shan is not even sure whether the initiator of the Xuanwu Sect incident will still be Li Shimin.
But in this case, Li's house in Zhuangzi is not big enough. Zhang Wenguan mentioned this in his letter. By then, there will be hundreds of slaves in Miss Cui's dowry, and most of them will definitely be slaves.
Living in Sun Moon Lake.
After roughly thinking about it in his mind for a while, he saw that the guards had purchased the sacrifices. Li Shan personally took the sacrifices and went to the homes of the fallen guards to worship them one by one.
Last year, Li Shan went north with more than a hundred personal guards, including 60 people from the Zhu clan, and then selected 60 people from Qi Laosan, Su Dingfang and the refugees who settled in Sun Moon Lake that year.
After more than half a year, there were only seven people killed in battle, which was a much lower ratio than in Shandong the year before. Of course, in Shandong he was hunted all the way, but in Daizhou, Li Shan spent most of the time sitting quietly inside the fortress.
Among the seven killed, four were killed in the battle of attacking the camp on a snowy night. They all fell off their horses and were trampled to death by horse hooves when breaking the camp. The other three were killed in the battle outside Yanmen Pass.
Although the seven families are sad, they are also respectful. They have been fighting for many years. Since they are on the battlefield, it is inevitable... What's more, Li Shan has always treated them with kindness, pensions, and land grants.
Everything was arranged, and Li Shan was a little tired. He regretted not bringing Ma Zhou back. Ma Zhou had always been responsible for this kind of thing... But then he thought, forget it, let Ma Zhou and Chang He hang out together.
It is said that after Ma Zhou deliberately got close to each other, the friendship between the two deepened day by day and they were able to sleep in peace.
"How many days will it take to return to Beijing this time?"
"That depends on what Your Majesty wants." Li Shan smiled bitterly in his heart, "I thought I would be rewarded when I returned to Beijing..."
Zhu, who was mixing tea, stopped and said, "Isn't it?"
Li Shan grumbled a few times without answering directly, thinking that Li Yuan wished he could punch and kick him twice, and even give him a reward!
When to leave Beijing, I guess it depends on how Li Yuan resolves the alliance with Tuli Khan. I have already handed over all the communication channels and manpower... It depends on what Li Yuan thinks.
"I'm going back to Beijing today, and I'll go to the Li family for a visit tomorrow." Mrs. Zhu brought the prepared tea, "It was Demou's mother who acted as matchmaker to get engaged with the Cui family."
"The child understands the importance." Li Shan nodded, "Even if there is no engagement, Brother Demou takes over as acting county magistrate, and goes out with the child to fight, chasing the enemy for hundreds of miles to Mayi, he should still pay a visit first."
"Um?"
Li Shan swallowed, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, frowning, "Mother's craftsmanship is getting better and better!"
Mrs. Zhu snorted, "Miss Cui is also good at making tea."
Li Shanqian laughed twice and wondered if he should make the fried green tea in advance... In his previous life in the countryside, he had seen farmers making tea, but he had never done it before, and he didn't know if he could make it.
The mother and son were sitting in the side hall talking, sometimes talking about the Yanmen War, and sometimes talking about the details of their engagement with Mrs. Cui. Mrs. Zhu was preparing to reorganize the house in Yanshoufang, and specifically mentioned that the neighbor next door had been a big help.
Many rare giant trees came.
"Ying Guogong." Li Shan's smile was a little stiff, "He is a close friend of the former king Yang Xiong, and he started out as a merchant. It is said that he was a timber maker at the earliest..."
"That's right, his wife is the niece of King Guan." Zhu said with a smile: "The Yang family's sister sent the notice again and again, inviting the mother to visit. She was pregnant, and she almost slipped when she was going down the mountain at Dongshan Temple during the Lantern Festival that day.
, Duke Ying will not allow him to go out again."
"Pregnant?" Li Shan's expression was even weirder, "I wonder if Lord Ying has an heir?"
Mrs. Zhu was a little surprised as to why her son was interested in this. She thought for a while and said, "Sister Yang is my stepwife. My ex has a second son, and sister Yang has a second daughter. If this baby can be messed up..."
Well, I'm sure that the one in my belly is Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in history. Li Shan thought in his mind that this woman named herself Zhao in history, and she didn't know what her real name was.
Li Shan thought about it for a while, thinking that if they were neighbors in the future, maybe they could be trained since childhood, and there would be no more queens in this life!
Calculating the age, if he was born this year, he would be about twenty years younger than me, fourteen or fifteen years old... At that time, I would be thirty-four or five years old, in my prime!
It shouldn't be a big problem for a thirty-four or five-year-old man who contributed to the founding of the country to take a young lady from a poor family as his concubine, right?
So many senior time travelers can do it!
Besides, I remember that not long after the warrior Xun died of illness, the second son of the Wu family kicked out the Yang family and their daughter.
Li Shan suddenly remembered that Wu Zetian seemed to have a very romantic sister and gave birth to a beautiful daughter. In the end, Li Zhi took advantage of her. In this life...
Dirty, he is indeed Dirty!
Li Shan was filled with contempt, and he must stop Li Zhi!
While calculating whether Li Zhi was born now, the guard from outside reported, "Lang Jun, Duke Ling is back."
