After leaving the palace, Li Shan stood on the edge of a cliff and looked down from a distance. There were several carriages preparing to go north, and more than a dozen children from aristocratic families were comforting Pei Shiju, who had just suffered the loss of his son.
Well, Li Shan won't join in the fun. Pei Shiju should have gone to Huating County to collect the corpse. I hope he can ask clearly then... Forget it, what can he do if he asks clearly? Pei Shiju won't be suspicious?
Oh oh, I really don’t doubt it, but I am sure... This kind of thing does not require any evidence, only motivation is enough.
Li Shan thought for a while and prepared to go see Su Dingfang, but before he arrived, he met Jiang Guogong Chen Shuda who was in a hurry.
"Uncle Shi is here." Li Shan bowed. Among the many ministers and assistants, Chen Shuda was not the only one with whom he had a good relationship, but only Chen Shuda and he were good friends.
"Your Majesty believes that you love you, and Huairen rescued you in time. It can be said that the monarch and his ministers help each other." Chen Shuda stopped, helped Li Yuan, and said with a smile: "Are you injured?"
"It's just a flesh wound." Li Shan sighed: "But in the battle at Tiantai Mountain, many important officials in the court were seriously injured."
The generals of the Tiance Mansion suffered heavy casualties. That was Li Shimin's fault. After all, most of the officials under the Tiance Mansion were not serving in the court. However, there were casualties among the three provinces, six ministries, nine temples and five prisons in the court. Just this morning, those who were released were released
Lu Chisong, Duke of Fanyang County, who was a member of Zhongshushe, died of serious injuries. His son, Lu Chengji, who served as a military official in Daizhou, will soon abandon his post and return to his hometown to observe mourning.
Three provinces and six ministries, three provinces and six ministries, the six ministries that are as famous as the three provinces are the main executors of the actual government affairs. Their importance is self-evident. Li Shan is in charge of all matters of Renshou Palace. Although it is only an assignment, the people below still have to do some things.
Let me tell you, on the list of dead last night, two at the rank of minister of the Sixth Ministry died, three at the rank of lieutenant, and more than ten at the rank of Yuanwailang and chief minister!
There was nothing we could do about it. At that time, Li Yuan was attacked by Liang Jun after he had already set off. The important ministers were still protected by others. The one with lower rank was my mother-in-law, who was dead, and there was no hope.
There were no casualties among the most important officials at the top level, but not many were injured. When Li Yuan was besieged by Liang soldiers outside the Renshou Palace, all the important officials around him killed the enemy with their own swords.
Zhongshu Ling Yang Gongren, Zhongshu Shilang Yu Wenshiji, Wen Yanbo, and Menxia Province Huangmen Shilang Tang Jian have been injured in the past few days. In addition, Menxia Province Shizhong Pei Shiju has gone to collect the body, so Li Yuan urgently transferred Zhongshu Ling
Feng Lun, Chen Shuda, one of the servants, only Pei Ji was left to guard Chang'an.
Although Chen Shuda is a descendant of Chen Guo's clan, he served as an official in the Sui Dynasty in his early years and has a close relationship with those old people. He just went to visit Yang Gongren and Wen Yanbo who were recovering from their injuries.
Speaking of the casualties in this battle, both Li Shan and Chen Shuda felt sad.
"There are many ministers who went to Renshou Palace today, and soldiers from several prefectures in Guanzhong gathered in Qizhou." Chen Shuda said: "Your Majesty has given you the power to control the armies, so be careful and careful."
"My nephew understands."
Chen Shuda thought of Li Jiancheng's actions that day, hesitated for a while and asked in a low voice: "It is said that His Majesty rebuked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"It seems like it's not there..." Li Shan muttered something vaguely, and when Chen Shuda frowned, he smiled bitterly and said, "My nephew doesn't dare to pry into the palace, but His Majesty is indeed displeased."
"It's true that I'm not happy..." Chen Shuda looked at Li Shan for a while and said softly: "For several years, Huairen has been impartial and impartial. He should have a beginning and an end."
Watching Chen Shuda leave, Li Shan stood blankly for a moment, not quite sure what this sentence meant.
Over the years, Li Shan has always maintained a political image of being loyal to Li Yuan. He already has the trust of Li Yuan, and with the support of Princess Pingyang, plus this great rescue... In the eyes of many people, as long as Li Shan remains loyal
If you are impartial, your future wealth and honor will be almost certain, and there is no need to seek refuge with the prince or the King of Qin.
So what exactly does Chen Shuda mean by this sentence?
A quarter of an hour later, in the high-standard single ward, Li Shan rubbed his eyebrows and kept shaking his head, "Jiang Guogong will not mention this matter for no reason..."
Ling Jing, who had been waiting here an hour in advance, was also a little puzzled. He stroked his beard and said, "Maybe it has something to do with the prince's actions in the capital?"
"It's possible." Li Shan blinked, "The prince acted improperly this time. Did he want to win over someone?"
"By the way, just now in the palace, the prince wanted to recommend his nephew to be the commander-in-chief of the march... Fortunately, he avoided it."
"Impossible." Ling Jing shook his head, paused and added: "If the prince wanted to recommend and win over him, he would not personally come to the door to invite King Qin to have an audience with him."
"Come in person?" Li Shan's mouth opened wide. He really didn't want to win over me. If he did, he would definitely recommend me privately, and it is impossible to invite Li Shimin to go with him.
"Is it possible that you are afraid that you will turn to King Qin?"
"To surrender to the King of Qin?" Li Shan scratched his chin, "Although the King of Qin was successful in rescuing the king this time, your Majesty... at least has no intention of saving it easily at this time."
"The situation is now chaotic." Ling Jing sighed, "But at least in the battle at Tiantai Mountain, His Highness will not have to worry about being expelled in the short term."
Neither of them could figure it out for a while, but they were both sure that it had nothing to do with Pei Shiju, because Chen Shuda had only arrived at Renshou Palace today and had not even met Pei Shiju.
Ling Jing then changed the topic and talked about Changsun Wuji's proposal to persuade Li Shimin to give up temporarily... Li Shan secretly scolded Lao Yingying, this guy is really not a good guy, he is really good at playing tricks.
Because the Tiance Mansion was severely damaged this time, and even Li Shimin himself was injured, it was difficult to allocate generals to participate in the battle to regain the three states. Therefore, Changsun Wuji suggested that the troops should stay put. If the Marching General Mansion was not reestablished, then
The best thing... let Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng and his son take over this mess, and wait until the King of Qin mobilizes manpower from various places to restore the strength of Tiance Mansion before taking over the war.
"Isn't he afraid that the Turks will sweep in and join forces with the Liang division to drink in the river?" Li Shan sneered: "At that time, there will be powerful enemies outside, disputes inside, and it will be common for the country to be destroyed and the family to be destroyed!
"
Ling Jing nodded, "Therefore, Xuanling and Keming both recommended that we immediately reestablish the marching general office to stabilize the defense line and resist the Turks who are likely to take advantage of the fire. After August, we can march again and regain the three states."
"Your Highness, do you have anyone to choose?"
"His Royal Highness intends to go out personally, but he is afraid that the East Palace will obstruct him." Ling Jing said with a bitter smile: "If a major general under his command leads the troops, I am afraid that the prince will also block people in."
Li Shan curled his lips slightly, everyone in a superior position had this kind of virtue, Li Daoxuan and Shi Wanbao were examples back then.
"But one thing is for sure." Ling Jing said firmly: "The prince personally came to the door, invited His Highness to meet with him, and proposed to reestablish the marching general manager's office. He must have a plan."
The current situation... Li Shan thought about it carefully, and he was really worried. Li Yuan was already preparing to deal with Li Shimin, who insisted on seizing the throne. Unexpectedly, Liang Jun captured the three states and Lingzhou's entire army was wiped out. However, Li Shimin fought hard to save him.
The prince delayed the opportunity to send troops.
Li Shan thought to himself that Li Yuan didn't even know how to deal with this situation now.
As for himself... Li Shan planned to get rid of this courage as soon as possible and control the armies. It sounds nice, but it is too easy to get involved.
