After a quarrel, Li Yuan, who had a headache, announced that he would put it aside for the time being, but everyone could see that the military camp issue was almost settled. It was just that His Majesty saved some face for the King of Qin... Today, the Crown Prince showed his power and defeated the King of Qin quite miserably.
.
If Shi Doujing, the governor of Bingzhou, knew about this, his eyes would probably fall off. He has written to request military settlements not once or twice, but basically nothing happened.
After the Prime Minister withdrew, Li Yuan smiled and waved to Li Shan, "Huairen was so calm that he didn't even ask."
Li Shan gave a standard answer, "Thunder, rain, and dew are all your kindness."
Li Yuan laughed, and the King of Qi below, Li Yuanji, couldn't help curling his lips. This guy is so shameless!
Well, the so-called thinking mode that thunder, rain and dew are all due to the kindness of the emperor is the view of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. This was not the case in the Han, Tang and Song Dynasties... Well, it mainly started when Zhu Yuanzhang reduced Mencius' status.
Li Jiancheng knew that Li Shanxin was arrogant and not a flattering person. He smiled and said: "Huairen has made great achievements but has not been promoted. Father must not be stingy."
"That's natural." Li Yuan nodded.
Among the five people present, Li Yuan and Li Shan both knew it well. The so-called Li Shan could calm down and asked no questions... What he said openly was that Li Shan had not yet been promoted to a noble rank, but secretly he was talking about Yu Tuli.
Khan's alliance.
Of course, there is also Li Shimin who pretends to be stupid and knows nothing.
"When you return to Daizhou this time, be careful and don't act rashly." Li Yuan warned: "The pharmacist will be able to go north to take up his post in April at the latest. If there is a small group of Turkic cavalry coming to attack, just drive them away."
"yes."
"You are just a troublemaker." Li Yuan was still a little worried and shook his head: "It has only been half a year since I took office in Daizhou. Look how many troubles you have caused!"
Li Shan felt a little aggrieved, "Uncle, it's others who provoke me. My nephew has always been well-behaved."
Li Jiancheng couldn't help but interjected: "Huairen, that's what father meant... You are so well-behaved and can cause trouble like this. It's really..."
Li Yuan nodded repeatedly, "Shandong, Daizhou, wherever you go there is bloodshed!"
He said that I was like a disaster star... Li Shan was also speechless.
After a few more pleasantries, Li Shan stood up and said goodbye. He happened to meet Cui Xin when he was leaving the palace... He was a little suspicious. It seemed that every time he entered the palace, he would always run into him when he came out. His father-in-law wouldn't keep watching, right?
"I heard that you still want to go back to Daizhou?"
"Yes." Li Shan nodded and said: "At the latest in April, the Duke of Yongkang County will go north to serve as the governor of Daizhou. His Majesty mentioned in private that he would call his nephew back to the court at that time."
Cui Xin asked tentatively: "Is there a fixed position?"
"It's still a few months away. Who knows what position will be vacant at that time?" Li Shan smiled and said, "I won't go to the Imperial Medical Office."
Cui Xin sneered, pondered for a moment and then whispered: "You can't enter the Sixth Division."
"Thank you uncle for reminding me." Li Shan also knew that he could not join the Six Ministries. The Six Ministries in the early Tang Dynasty were actually under the Shangshu Province. Now, although Li Shimin is appointed as the Shangshu Ling, he is actually in charge of the Shangshu Province Zuopu She Pei Ji.
Regarding his position after returning to the court, Li Shan already had a general goal. It must be a position where he could demonstrate his abilities, but at the same time, he would not be attracted by the forces of the East Palace and the King of Qin.
Li Shan was about to say goodbye when he suddenly whispered: "Uncle, I will be able to return to Beijing in a few months. I don't know..."
Cui Xin was stunned for a moment before reacting, waving his sleeves and saying: "The Cui family of Qinghe is a famous family in the world, and they follow the ancient rituals. What's more, we only decided to get married this year, and we have been preparing for marriage for at least three years!"
Watching Cui Xin enter Zhongshu Province, Li Shan pursed his lips. Did he have to wait until his wife was fifteen before he could pass?
In this era, many people get married at the age of twelve or thirteen!
Believe it or not, I will go back and ask Your Majesty to grant me a marriage, and see if you still want to follow the ancient etiquette!
…
It was already late at night. Li Shan sent Ling Jing out and went back to the study to sit down. He picked up a few pieces of hemp rope and silk and knitted something. He was still thinking about it. It was mid-February now. What if Li Yaoshi was there on Wednesday?
If you can take up the post in a month, then what you can do in Daizhou is relatively limited.
Is that still necessary?
If you do it, it may not be in line with Li Jing's ideas, but if you don't do it, all the previous preparations will be in vain, which is a bit disappointing.
Ling Jing only gave some ambiguous opinions. You still need to make your own decision on such matters.
In the earliest plan, Li Shan was planning to stay in Daizhou for a few more years, preferably after the events like the Xuanwumen Incident had settled... But who would have thought that in the changing situation, in just half a year, the palm of his hand would
Daizhou General Manager's Office.
However, he got a lot of bargains in the Liangyi Palace today. Li Shan was calculating in his mind. The first was to get permission to return to Daizhou, and the second was to cooperate with Li Shimin tacitly and trick Li Jiancheng, who was still kept in the dark.
Already.
Thirdly, although the 30,000 men and women were robbed, a large amount of food would definitely be consumed, but now that the association is in charge of Yunzhou, the trade roads are smooth, and horses are constantly being transported, it is not difficult to use horse lures to attract merchants to transport food. The key is
It depends on whether you can make good use of these tens of thousands of human resources.
Fourth, Li Jing took office as the general manager of Daizhou... Although anyone with a discerning eye knows that the main factor is Li Yuan, it was still recommended by him. Meeting him one day can be regarded as a small favor.
After thinking so much, Li Shan suddenly felt angry. So what if Li Jing is here?!
I have been planning in Daizhou for so long, spent so much effort and thought, how could I give up?
Even if it only takes a month or two, you can create a prototype.
"Creak."
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Li Shan stood up and saluted, "Why hasn't mother rested yet?"
Zhu, who has a straightforward and strong personality, sighed rarely, "Do you still want to go to Daizhou?"
"It's just a top-up. You can return to the court in April or May." Li Shan gestured to support Zhu, "Mother also needs to take care of her health. There is no need to worry about the child. One day, Cui will come and have children, and she also expects mother to educate her herself.
.”
Nowadays, the Zhu family's reputation among the female relatives in the capital is not low. On the one hand, it is because of her marriage to the Cui family of Qinghe, her good relationship with the Changsun family, her close relationship with the crown prince and Princess Qin, and his majesty also granted him the rank of fourth-rank commander.
On the other hand, it was because of Zhu's reputation for teaching his children well... Li Shan's father died early. Today, he writes essays, recites poems and compositions, has famous works passed down to the world, has made many achievements in martial arts, is famous beyond the Great Wall, and has established himself in the world with benevolence and righteousness.
Regarding the latter point, although Zhu was confused, he was also proud.
After the mother and son chatted for a while, Li Shan saw a slightly sad look on Mr. Zhu's face and said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, Daizhou is safe, brother Zhonggui lives in Sima..."
Speaking of this, Li Shan chuckled and said, "To call him such a name, he knows that he will definitely slander you again."
Mrs. Zhu smiled and said, "We will talk about this in detail another day. Let's rest first."
"Mother, let's take a rest first. The child still has some things to worry about."
"My brows are furrowed, but I have a question?" Ms. Zhu paused. In the past two years, she had also seen clearly that her son was very thoughtful. He buried many things in his heart and refused to talk about it. He only said: "Why don't you ask?
Ling Gong?"
Li Shan shook his head slightly, gave some advice, and watched Zhu's leaving figure, thinking that Ling Jing couldn't solve it either.
Today's meeting at the Liangyi Palace, the most difficult thing for Li Shan to let go is that Li Yuan didn't seem to make any choice... He thought maybe Li Yuan would let one, or two of Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, or even Li Yuanji go together.
Daizhou, presided over the alliance with Tuli Khan.
It is impossible for Li Yuan to give up his alliance with Tuli Khan. How will he solve this matter?
Li Shan suddenly shuddered. Li Yuan would not follow his bad idea and become brothers with Tuli Khan, right?
