Regarding Li Shan, Prince Li Jiancheng and King Qin Li Shimin have the same impression. Considering that he will not be crowned until next year, he is a hero who can be of great use after he ascends the throne. Now he is deeply trusted by his father, but it will not have any impact on the succession.
Li Shan was impartial and impartial in his dealings, whether in Shandong or Daizhou. Because of this, Li Jiancheng had always been kind to Li Shan, but now he has gradually stopped considering recruiting him under his sect immediately, and
He also discovered that Li Shimin seemed to have the same behavior.
Therefore, Li Jiancheng fully considered the information delivered by Li Shan through Wei Zheng.
"The second brother wants to win over Duke Rui Guo?" Li Jiancheng frowned. This was beyond his expectation. The year before last, Li Shimin conquered Shandong and defeated Liu Heita in the Battle of Luoshui. He had joined forces with Luo Yi, although Xue Wanjun later entered Tian
Cefu, but he was not close to Luo Yi, so Luo Yi joined the East Palace.
This was Luo Yi's choice, and it was also Li Shimin's choice... His military success was so great that he was coveted.
Wei Ting on the side nodded and said: "Yesterday, the disciples of Changsun Wuji also went to Sifangguan to post."
Wang Gui thought for a moment and then said: "The King of Qin may not want to win over Yuan Junzhang, but he just wants to force His Highness to retreat."
"Yes, the King of Handan also has this concern." Wei Zheng nodded and said: "The King of Qin will not sit back and watch if the East Palace wins over."
"But now Yuan Junzhang's nearly Wanjiu tribe is still entrenched in Mayi. The King of Handan wants to divert his soldiers, so there will be a large number of Yuan Junzhang's old tribe in the army."
Zheng Shanguo came to his senses, "Whether Duke Rui throws himself into the East Palace or attaches himself to the King of Qin, something will happen to Daizhou!"
"The military villages are either under the control of the Secretary of Agriculture or the Ministry of Household Affairs, but there is no precedent in this dynasty. The local area should be headed by the governor, the governor, and the general manager. Now that the Yongkang County Duke has not taken up his post, the Daizhou General Manager's Office is still in charge of Huairen.
"
"Zhang Gongjin, who is not the commander of Daizhou, was ordered to inventory the fields and hide the population. He is very likely to be responsible for military affairs. Xue Wanche, who is responsible for the affairs of the army, has the right to intervene..."
In other words, when it comes to the military garrison, the forces of the East Palace and the Qin Palace have overlapping areas of authority. However, there must be a large number of Yuan Junzhang's old troops in the garrison...
Wei Zheng said softly: "The King of Handan speculates that within half a year to a year, Duke Rui's old troops will be scattered everywhere..."
Li Jiancheng groaned unconsciously. Because his second brother's prestige in the army was too high, he had to recruit foreign warlords for help. After Luo Yi was demoted by his father to be the governor of Jingzhou, he chose Yuan Junzhang... but after hearing that Wei Zheng
What this means is that Li Shan speculates that Yuan Junzhang's power will soon dissipate.
After pondering for a while, Li Jiancheng asked tentatively: "How is King Yan doing in Jingzhou?"
Wang Gui said in a deep voice: "Although Prince Yan is out of court, His Majesty has not dismissed him from his post as General Zuo Yiwei. If Mr. Pei can make some suggestions, he may be able to return to court this year."
In comparison, Li Jiancheng valued Luo Yi more. Youzhou was far more powerful than Shuozhou. More importantly, although Luo Yi entered the dynasty, the Youzhou army was mainly controlled by Luo Yi's old troops.
Li Jiancheng nodded slightly and said, "Give the Luo family ten slaves and a hundred pieces of silk."
Although Luo Yi is out, his brother Luo Shou and son Luo Yang are still in the capital... One is lame and still walks with a limp, and the other had a broken nose at the time...
Wei Ting on the side nodded in agreement, and then Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng, "If Duke Xuancheng trusts Huairen, he can do his best. If he trusts the generals alone, he can't interfere with their disputes."
At this moment, Cui Xin looked at Zhang Wenguan in front of him with a sullen face, "Say it again!"
Zhang Wenguan couldn't help but take two steps back and whispered: "Uncle, we are already engaged. The Li family has asked Aunt Sun to come to ask for the date. It doesn't hurt to meet him, right?"
"It's because we're engaged, so..." Cui Xin rummaged around on the table, picked up a bamboo slip and knocked it on the back of his nephew's head, "On this day last year, in this door, people's faces and peach blossoms reflected each other's red... That poem was still
You sent it, did you forget it?!"
"Ai Lian Shuo" is enough to be passed down to the world. If this poem is added to the list... most outsiders will think that in Qinghe County back then, boys and girls would have already...
"Where are the others?"
"I went to visit my aunt in the backyard." Zhang Wenguan shrank his head, "Brother Huairen always observes etiquette..."
Cui Xin really wanted to spit it out, that guy secretly tried to seduce Xiao Baicai, just to be polite!
In the backyard, Ms. Zhang looked at the gift box presented by Li Shan with a smile. After opening it, her eyes lit up and she took out a bright red silk fabric.
"What a beautiful concentric knot." Mrs. Zhang couldn't put it down and touched it, "Mrs. Zhu is really skillful."
Changsun, who was sitting on the side, glanced at Li Shan, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "I've never heard of Madam Zhu having such a skill."
"My mother mentioned that the sister of the Cui family is Shannvhong, but my mother is far behind." Li Shan smiled and said, "This is my nephew's humble work."
"Did you make it up?" Ms. Zhang was greatly surprised, paused and sighed: "Huairen has a good intention."
I will set off tomorrow and come to visit today. On the one hand, I invited Li Kai’s mother, Mrs. Sun, to come to ask for a date. On the other hand, I came to give gifts... It happened that Yuan Junzhang sent a large number of local products early this morning. Zhu was the first to do so.
I picked out quite a few for my son to send to me.
This is not a najinacai, but an extra gift. Zhu simply hopes that her daughter-in-law will come over as soon as possible.
However, whether it is in the eyes of Changsun, Zhang, or Miss Cui, the weight of those treasures and furs is far less than this concentric knot.
Changsun smiled and said: "Huairen personally knitted the Tongxinknot, is there any new work?"
"I cut off my hair, and parted my hair. I looked for a place where there was no one, and tied it into a knot of the same heart." Li Shan said with a smile: "It is an ordinary work, but the poem is about ambition and true feelings."
Zhang, who had tasted it for a long time, couldn't help but be moved. She tied her hair into a bun and tied her black hair together to symbolize growing old together.
Regarding this poem, Li Shan really remembered clearly that weaving concentric knots was a craft he had learned in his previous life. He went out to find a few poems describing concentric knots and skillfully weaved them into concentric knots... I remember that around the Spring Festival that year,
There are a lot of them sold in the streets, and all at high prices.
Changsun covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Huairen will return to Beijing this year, and next year his dreams will come true."
"Thank you so much, aunt." Li Shan bowed his head and bowed.
Getting married next year was a little hasty, mainly because her husband was a little reluctant. Mrs. Zhang was thinking about it in her mind, but she didn't open her mouth to refute. She looked down at Tongxinkou and the maid beside her, "Let's serve tea."
After a while, Miss Cui slowly came over with a tea tray and served three cups of tea one by one.
"Thank you, Sister Cui." Li Shan turned sideways and said with a smile, "My mother mentioned this morning that the fire fox skin, inlaid with white thread, made into a fur hat, is the most eye-catching."
Miss Cui’s voice was as clear as an oriole’s, “Thank you so much, Auntie, for the gift.”
Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Changsun looked at this scene with aunty smiles on their faces.
"We will set off tomorrow and return to Beijing in May at the latest. If my sister has nothing to do, I can go to Zhuangzi more often..."
"Ahem!"
Halfway through Li Shan's words, Cui Xin burst in, coughed hard, and said with a face: "My name is Huairen, my name is righteousness, but I don't know how to be polite!"
"Uncle." Li Shan bowed silently. Even if I were a pig and my daughter was a cabbage, I couldn't open an arch here. What a worry for you!
Cui Xin greeted Changsun and cursed in his heart. He just hinted yesterday that he would come to ask for an appointment today... Those who didn't know would have thought Li Shan was your son!
After exchanging a few words, Cui Xin pointed at Li Shan, turned around and left the room.
Li Shan reluctantly saluted the two women and followed him out. He looked back before going out and saw Miss Cui looking up.
It has been more than half a year since we last met in Furong Garden. The girl has a slightly elongated figure and a dignified and beautiful appearance. The flower patch on her forehead brings out a bit of charm, but she has a tall and straight figure and bright eyes.
Miss Cui saluted Yingying, "I hope your husband will make new achievements and return to the court safely."
Li Shan nodded slightly and couldn't help but think to himself as he walked, looking at his words and deeds, he really has the same temperament as my mother.
