Zhang Wenguan left angrily. He was dragged here to be used as a shield. After his use value was gone, he was driven away mercilessly by Li Shan... Naturally, he was angry.
In the study, Cui Xinxing looked at the young man in front of him with complex eyes. One thing he was sure of, this guy was absolutely romantic!
Why did Zhang Wenguan drag you to Pingkangfang when you were drunk... Cui Xin doesn't believe one bit of this nonsense!
Ever since he had the idea... Well, to be precise, after seeing the song "The human face is nowhere to be found, the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze", Cui Xin began to deliberately inquire about all aspects of Li Shan.
For example, after the results of the Jinshi examination were released, this guy led almost all the Jinshi students to Pingkangfang, drank and sang, and was praised by everyone.
For example, there is an allusion to the song "Only peonies are the true national beauty, and when they bloom, they move Chang'an".
Cui Xin even found out about Li Bai and Li Taibai... It was the first time Li Shan entered Chang'an City after time travel, and it was also the first time he became famous.
He wanted to go to a place like Pingkangfang, a place where good and bad people are mixed, to inquire about information... Cui Xin did not recognize this reason. He only saw that Li Shan was a frequent visitor to Pingkangfang.
Of course, the most important thing is that Cui Xin saw with his own eyes the beautiful concubine and maidservant beside Li Shan at Yanmen Pass.
But now that they are engaged, what else can Cui Xin do? He puts aside those thoughts and whispers: "I have something to discuss with you today."
"Please give me your instructions, my father-in-law."
"Cough cough cough..." When Cui Xin heard this word, he coughed heartbrokenly. It took him a while to recover, "We haven't welcomed the bride yet!"
Li Shan was a little innocent and asked tentatively: "Xia City is prosperous now, and many Hu merchants come from the Mobei and Western Regions. My nephew will return to Beijing this year to give birth to hairpins..."
If you still have the energy to pay attention to these things... you must keep them until you are fifteen and have haircuts!
Don’t even think about doing the hair extensions ceremony in advance!
A woman usually gets her haircut at the age of fifteen and then gets married...but she can also get her haircut beforehand. For example, Princess Qin married Li Shimin after she got her haircut at the age of thirteen.
Cui Xin was too lazy to talk about this and interrupted directly: "I had an audience the day before yesterday. Your Majesty intends to summon you back to the capital?"
"Princess Pingyang has informed that the report of Yanmen's great victory came to Beijing that day. The prince proposed to be promoted to the title of Duke, and the King of Qin strongly recommended that he be appointed the general manager of Daizhou. Your Majesty did not comment." Li Shan took it lightly, "My nephew has not been crowned yet, so it is indeed not suitable to be the general manager of Daizhou.
.”
After Cui Xin was silent for a moment, he lowered his voice and said: "After returning to Beijing, will Pei Hongda do anything rashly?"
There was a deep meaning in this sentence. Li Shan was stunned and said, "Please ask your uncle to explain it in detail."
"Last year, Mayi recruited troops, attacked the camp on a snowy night, and forced Yuan Junzhang to surrender. Pei Hongda suffered from wind and cold and was in bed to recuperate. He closed the door to thank the guests." Cui Xin said slowly: "At the beginning of the year, Yanmen was victorious, and he never came to see what was going on.
"
Li Shan knew all this, but he still listened patiently and stared at Cui Xin intently.
"The saint gave medicine twice..." Cui Xin said with a gloomy face: "The prince came to visit three times."
Li Shan raised his eyebrows, "The prince wants to win over you, and your majesty is also happy to see it succeed... Will Pei Hong join the East Palace?"
If Pei Shiju really joins the East Palace, it may not have any impact on the court situation, but it will definitely affect the judgment of many children from aristocratic families on the development of the court situation!
Because Pei Shiju has been in the officialdom for a long time. After becoming an official, he went through the Northern Qi, Northern Zhou, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. Every time there was a change of dynasty, every time the throne changed, this old fox made the most accurate judgment. This vision is really extraordinary.
The Sui Dynasty only ascended the throne twice. When the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Qi Dynasty, Pei Shiju accurately took advantage of Yang Jian's big and thick leg. When Yang Jian usurped the throne and established the Sui Dynasty, the young Pei Shiju once presided over the Ministry of Internal Affairs as an official...
…This institution was renamed Zhongshu Province in the Tang Dynasty.
After Yang Guang defeated Chen, Pei Shiju served as the marshal's office. He was highly respected by Yang Guang, and he was promoted all the way and became one of the seven nobles in the world.
But several years after entering the Tang Dynasty, he was over seventy years old, and the situation in the imperial court to seize the direct heir was unclear. Pei Shiju still wanted to fight. Is this necessary?
"Pei Hongda is also serving as Prince Zhan, as for whether he will join the Prince's sect..." Cui Xin looked at Li Shan deeply, "Then I have to ask you."
Li Shan's body froze, and after a moment he rubbed his face vigorously, and said with a bitter smile: "In the eyes of my uncle, my nephew is a person who must retaliate for his anger?"
"Everyone outsiders say that Dongshan Li Shanhuai acted benevolently and righteously." Cui Xin said expressionlessly: "But how could a person like Pei Hongda leave trouble in the future... What's more, didn't you give him a fur hat?"
Is that the leather hat worn by Yu Sheshe who died of grievance? Or was it delivered to Pei Shiju personally by Cui Xin after returning to Beijing from Daizhou... The meaning is obvious. You, Pei Shiju, made a move, and I, Li Shan, took it. This leather hat was
The hat is just a greeting gift, and there is a generous reward behind!
How can this not make Pei Shiju fearful?
Outsiders don't know the inside story, but in Cui Xin's view, Pei Shiju's fight is just for Li Shan... With such a deep hatred, it is impossible for Li Shan to take revenge on his biological father Li Dewu. The most likely target is Pei Shiju and Pei Shiju's descendants.
For the sake of future generations, Pei Shiju naturally hopes to completely deal with Li Shan's enemy before his death... Pei Shiju drove Li Shan to death several times due to a series of changes in the past. Unexpectedly, in the end, Li Shan struggled to survive and soared.
Under this situation, if Pei Shiju could help Li Jiancheng to stabilize his position as crown prince and ascend the throne in the future, even if he could not get rid of Li Shan, he could still preserve his descendants and the family house of the Western Dependents.
But both Li Shan and Cui Xin were thinking about more than just this.
Li Shan stared into Cui Xin's eyes, "What does uncle mean... that my nephew should surrender to the King of Qin to protect himself?"
Cui Xin's eyes flickered uncertainly, "Prince, the King of Qin has been seizing the throne for a long time, and there will be a victory or defeat. There is nothing wrong with Pei Hongda throwing himself into the East Palace, and Huairen throwing himself under the sect of the King of Qin."
"Absolutely not!" Li Shan said sternly: "With Princess Pingyang here, if the prince ascends the throne one day, even if Pei Hong launches an attack, at least my nephew will be safe. But if he surrenders to the King of Qin, I am afraid that the whole family will return to the west one day!"
If this battle for the right to inherit the throne ends with Li Jiancheng winning, the prince will definitely wipe out the blood of the King of Qin... Even if he doesn't do it, the King of Qi will do it, and even if the King of Qi doesn't do it, the staff of the East Palace will do it.
If Li Shan throws himself into Prince Qin's palace, Pei Shiju will be able to chop off Li Shan's head and eliminate all future troubles with just one sentence.
But if Li Shan had always remained neutral, with his merits and the support of Princess Pingyang, even if Pei Shiju and Pei Ji joined forces to ascend the throne, Li Jiancheng would only be able to expel Li Shan or dismiss him from office, at least he would not be beheaded.
Cui Xin also understood this truth and said hesitantly: "The King of Qin has great military achievements and has such a high prestige, but the prince has not done anything unethical. In the battle for the heir, the King of Qin has little chance of winning."
You've run out of good and bad words, right and wrong... Li Shan secretly slandered and said with a smile: "The saint is healthy, Pei Shiju is already old..."
Cui Xin sighed, "Yes, Pei Shiju is over seventy years old, why bother coming?"
The eyes of Weng and son-in-law collided in the air, and they moved away. They tested each other with words, but neither found any loopholes.
