The atmosphere inside Sinong Temple is now harmonious.
The conflict between Li Shan and Zhao Yuankai had long been resolved. The former generously set up a small kitchen and specially transferred a cook from Dongshan Restaurant. Zhao Yuankai sent him to the Forestry Department, and the Goudun Department sent a lot of carefully selected mutton and spices.
, and even asked the Shimen Hot Spring Supervisor to deliver a variety of vegetables that are rare in winter.
Li Shan even built a barbecue stove in the study... but it was broken by Yu Wenshiji and Cui Xin. The next day, Sun Fujia, the censor Zhongcheng, wrote a letter of impeachment. Li Shan was even called by Li Yuan to laugh and scold him.
After eating and drinking, Li Shan lay lazily on the lounge chair covered with a fur coat. He basically did nothing after taking office. The departments below, except for the prison guards, did not interfere, and just waited.
Next year we will choose a good place to start promoting cotton.
The so-called cotton armor has taken shape after being improved by several craftsmen from the Ordnance Supervisor. Although there is no operation mode for the army to give orders in this era, and the Shaofu is said to have some opinions, but as the Prince of Handan County, plus Pingyang
With the princess's support... the young master has agreed to purchase it, but the price will have to be determined at that time.
In fact, Li Shan didn't have the habit of taking a nap. Most of the time, he couldn't sleep while lying here. His mind kept spinning, thinking about random things, such as going to the East Palace for a banquet tomorrow, and the news from Li Qianyou last night.
, Qi King Li Yuanji is also preparing to post, and Li Shimin may be the last one in line.
Another example is Yang Wenqian.
Li Shan basically remembers how it is described in the history books. It is said that the prince sent weapons and armor to Yang Wenqian, who had served as a personal guard, but the person escorting the goods suddenly betrayed him and ran to the palace to tell Li Yuan who was vacationing from the summer.
Li Yuan was so shocked that the prince actually wanted to visit... The emperor was so frightened that he ran away all night, and did not return to the palace in fear until dawn.
After being summoned by Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng hesitated for a long time whether to directly rebel. Perhaps because Li Shimin was also in the palace at the time, he was unsure. In the end, he went to the palace alone and was placed under house arrest by Li Yuan.
Li Shan pondered that Li Yuan should have been frightened at the time, but also a little suspicious because the prince came to worship alone, so he did not use people from the East Palace or the Prince of Qin's Palace, but people from Qi Wang Li Yuanji, who was Sinong Qing at the time.
Yu Wenying went to summon Yang Wenqian... and then Yang Wenqian launched an army.
This is also a point that makes Li Shan suspicious. If the East Palace and the Qin Palace fought and both sides suffered losses, which led to the Qi King's fisherman benefiting, it would be okay, but then Yang Wenqian's rebellion was related to Li Yuanji. Du Yan, who was later exiled, could also be linked to Li Yuanji.
Yuanji got involved.
After that, it is what is recorded in the history books. Li Yuan asked Li Shimin to put down Yang Wenqian's rebellion, promised to make him the prince, and changed Li Jiancheng to the title of King of Shu... After that, Li Yuan took what he said back and beat him fifty times each.
Big board.
Li Shan crossed his legs and stared at the ceiling. Now he was sure that King Li Yuanji of Qi must have had a hand in the Yang Wenqian incident in his previous life, and in this life... it seemed that Li Yuanji was also ready.
However, Li Shan is not sure whether Yang Wenqian was the governor of Fangzhou in his previous life.
But judging from the Yang Wenqian incident in his previous life, Li Yuanji almost stayed out of it, but he reaped a lot of benefits... Does Li Yuanji have such thoughts and means?
Are the two East Palace subordinate officers who escorted the armor but whose weapons betrayed them, were they from the dark side of the Qin Palace or Li Yuanji's people?
Li Shan vaguely realized that this matter was probably related to Feng Lun and Du Yan, two subordinate officials of Tiance Mansion.
Feng Lun had gone through three emperors and was a well-known old fox. As for Du Yan, he was not that incompetent. Ling Jing once mentioned that Fang Xuanling's private evaluation of Du Yan was that he was cunning and wise.
In fact, the status of Feng Lun and Du Yan in Tiance Mansion was a bit awkward. Du Yan and Du Ruhui, uncles and nephews, had a grudge against each other, and they had stolen Fang Xuanling's office to join the army, so they were very unpopular.
And Feng Lun had already entered the official position when Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty came to the throne. Regardless of his resume or age, he was incompatible with most officials in the Tiance Mansion... Under Li Shimin's command, it was almost impossible to find anyone who had been an official in the Sui Dynasty.
Li Shan thought about it, it was a good thing that Li Shimin ascended the throne. If Li Jiancheng succeeded, he was afraid that he would be wiped out by Pei Shiju. What if Li Yuanji ascended the throne?
Apart from anything else, this guy really doesn't have the air of an emperor.
Among the three princes, in terms of ability, Li Shimin ranks first, Li Jiancheng is slightly inferior, and Li Yuanji... has disappointed Li Yuan and the courtiers many times.
From a moral point of view, Li Jiancheng has a benevolent demeanor. After all, Li Shimin did some bad things in history... It's nothing to seize his sister-in-law, but they have already given birth to a son for you, and you don't even give him a name.
Li Yuanji's character was a bit screwed up. He committed a lot of misdeeds and even killed his mother's maid, Chen Yiyi, who raised him. As for trampling on farmland and shooting and killing people, it was common practice. He even broke into the state at night when he was the governor of Bingzhou.
Women are raped in people’s homes.
Li Shan thought to himself that he should make some preparations. Li Yuanji failed to succeed in his previous life, and since there was an extra person in his life, it was even more impossible...but he might be able to get something from it.
In fact, Li Shan is quite conflicted now. Some time ago, he considered that the Xuanwumen incident might be a factor in creating a prosperous age after Li Shimin ascended the throne. Should he promote a mutiny in this life?
After thinking about it for a long time, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Who is so unruly!
Li Shan looked over sideways, with a very oppressive look that made the visitor startled.
"Brother Wei." Li Shan forced a smile, "It is not the behavior of a gentleman to disturb someone's dream."
Wei Ting laughed and said, "There will be a banquet in the East Palace tomorrow. I will remind Huairen when passing by Sinong Temple."
"I can't forget it." Li Shan sighed: "Others don't know, so why don't you know... Last time I came to visit him, I will go to visit Duke Keming the next day."
"I'm going to have a banquet tomorrow, but I'm afraid I'll have to visit Chengqian Hall in a few days."
Wei Ting smiled and scolded: "The last time you drove Duan Zhixuan back to Chang'an, the generals in the Tiance Mansion complained about you... I heard that Duan Zhixuan was deeply ashamed."
"Hey." Li Shan sighed, "Actually, the prince does not need to be so gentle. If he becomes a great treasure in the future, will he not be loyal to me?"
Wei Ting chuckled. He was Li Jiancheng's confidant, so he naturally knew the decisions of the East Palace staff... Nowadays, among the famous generals in the court, the King of Qin naturally ranks first, and his generals are like clouds.
Li Xiaogong, Prince of Zhao County, was considered the second, but this one had recently been appointed Zong Zhengqing, and because he had been accused of treason, he would no longer be expected to lead an army in this life.
Yongkang County Duke Li Jing is considered the third, but this one is now in charge of Daizhou and has no time to do anything else.
Counting further down, Li Shan, the Prince of Handan County, who had outstanding military exploits in Shandong, Hebei, Daidi, and even Shuozhou and Yunzhou, was considered the fourth.
Although Li Tang has unified the world now, the Turks are powerful after all, and there is war on the border. He will send troops in the future, and the Handan prince is a key figure.
What key person?
With the Prince of Handan here, why does the King of Qin need to go into battle?
