Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

A solitary lamp, a book table, Hu chairs and stools are placed around, a window is opened on the left wall, outside is a small garden, planted with a few giant trees dug from the mountain, now with dead branches, But when it is midsummer, it will be able to cover the scorching sun.

The wall on the right is leaning against a row of bookshelves, which are full of bookshelves. When Li Shan walked in, Ling Jing was concentrating on flipping through the books, his eyes shining brightly.

"If Uncle Ling likes it, just take it back."

"How can such a generous gift be accepted so easily..." Ling Jing sighed, "But it's a waste of money to put it in your study."

Li Shan raised his brows and said with a smile: "Then pick first, and pick more... In two months, we can pick another batch."

Most of the books in the study are gifts from various families after the First World War in Tiantai Mountain last year. The aristocratic families were formed in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but they had already formed in the Han Dynasty, and each family had its own strengths. Ritual, some master the law, some specialize in "Shangshu", and some are good at "Spring and Autumn".

To put it more generally, the fact that those aristocratic families can be passed down for thousands of years is not because of the emergence of outstanding people, but because of these backgrounds.

Of course, the Qinghe Cui family is not weaker than any family in the world in this respect, and there are a large number of ancient books in Cui Shiniang's dowry two months later.

However, Li Shan said that there were other reasons why Ling Jing was allowed to choose at will. Ling Jing, Su Dingfang and his party have been living in Jingzhao with Li Shan for several years. Ling Jing entered the Tiance Mansion early, while Li Shan has always maintained neutrality , so some things can only be delayed.

Now the situation of seizing the heirloom is almost at the last moment, even if the crown prince wants to go on, but Pei Shiju won't wait too long... he will be 80 years old next year, and this old man really can't wait.

Therefore, Li Shan's words are actually making it clear that when King Qin enters the East Palace, let's go through the door... Uh, Ling Jing's granddaughter was completely disregarded by Li Shan a few years ago, how could she still marry her? other people?
And these precious ancient books selected by Ling Jing are Li Shan's betrothal gifts.

Both of them are people with twists and turns in their stomachs. This kind of words seem to be in the clouds, but in their minds, they make sense. Ling Jing's face looks a little better, and he sits on the chair and looks around, "Study room Why is it so small?"

Li Shan smiled, "If you want to treat guests, there are other places for you."

When Li Shan drew the drawings last year, he unconsciously set the size of the study so small. At that time, Mrs. Zhu had doubts... This is actually a habit formed by Li Shan in his previous life. He prefers and is more used to relatively small rooms. space, which will make him more at ease and more relaxed.

"These two battles..." Ling Jing paused, "King Qin once resumed the war in Tiance Mansion, and most of the people were convinced, and King Qin even praised it, Handan and Pharmacist can stand side by side."

This evaluation was very high, but in Li Shan's ears, his face looked a little unnatural. Li Jing is a famous general who can be ranked in the top ten throughout the ages. Is he really qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with him?
Ling Jing said with a smile: "Princess Pingyang once mentioned in private that she was afraid that Huairen would be too prosperous."

"It doesn't matter." Li Shan shook his head and said, "I won't lead troops into battle anymore. Even if the King of Qin ascends the throne in the future, he must use Li Pharmacist. During the reign of Wu De, His Majesty would only use it as a last resort... At that time, it would be better Use King Qin."

Ling Jing nodded in agreement, "Si Nongqing is already unwell, do you have a plan?"

"Let's talk about it." Li Shan sighed, "I didn't expect the current situation in the court to be like this...Compared with it, King Qin seemed to have no support back then, but he waited for the time to move, but now it seems to be calm, but there are turbulent waves hidden."

Ling Jing also sighed. The biggest problem in the past was that Li Yuan was on the side of the East Palace to persecute King Qin, but now the biggest problem is that King Qin is very likely to be in charge of the East Palace, and Crown Prince Li Jiancheng will not sit still.

In other people's eyes, the crown prince will try his best to contend with King Qin, and this battle may last for many years, but Li Shan, Ling Jing, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Cui Xin and other people who know the inside story know that the current situation is as close as possible. The erupting crater may erupt at any moment.

Ling Jing said quietly: "How would Pei Hongda move the prince?
This is the biggest doubt that lingers in the minds of Li Shan, Li Shimin, Ling Jing and others. Li Shan has nothing to do about it. After thinking for a while, he said: "Chai Shao controls the Beiya imperial army, and now the Qianniu guards are on the left and the guards on the left and right. In fact, the Eastern Palace does not have much advantage."

"Well, Luo Yi, the general of the right prison guard, and Li Gaoqian, the right prison gate guard." Ling Jing counted: "Zhang Cong, the king's brother-in-law of the king of Qin, is the general of Zuo Qianniuwei, and the other general of Zuo Qianniuwei, Yu Wenshao, is a close friend of the king of Qi. In the early years, he was also under the command of King Qin."

Li Shan added: "We also need to add the Changlin Army... If we add the Changlin Army, then the palace ban...the East Palace still has an advantage."

"Changlin Army?" Ling Jing said softly: "If Changlin Army wants to enter Taiji Palace, they can only go through Xuanwu Gate."

"Well, Fan Shiyi has sent a message that I will see Brother Bin Wang in the next few days." Under the reflection of the candlelight, Li Shan's face became dark and difficult to understand, "Now the governor of Hezhou is vacant, Chang Shi, don't drive They are all from Luo Yi's old department."

Ling Jing could understand this sentence. Last year, Luo Yi led the army back from Lingzhou to the southwest of Yuanzhou to Longzhou, and then was transferred back to Beijing. Luo Yi only brought two hundred guards back to Beijing, and Tian The Jie army was transferred back to Hezhou... But it is hard to say whether a small group of troops sneaked into Jingzhao or even Chang'an.

Because the household registration management in the Tang Dynasty was relatively chaotic, especially during the turmoil in the customs last year, and Luo Yi did similar things... Back then, he secretly sent hundreds of elites to Beijing, which made a big fuss Later, Li Yuan drove him to Longyou Hezhou.

After the study was quiet for a long time, Li Shan said with a smile: "Let's see Brother Bin Wang first, if the East Palace is prepared, it is impossible that there will be no omen."

Ling Jing hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "Changsun Fuji once suggested that His Highness should be sent out of the palace."

Li Shan was stunned for a moment before he realized that Changsun Wuji wanted Li Shimin to move out of Taiji Palace and live in another place in Chang'an, the mystery in this could be seen through at a glance.

Once the incident happened and the prince raised troops, the first thing to do was to open the Xuanwu Gate and let the Chang Lin Army loyal to the East Palace enter the Taiji Palace, and the second thing was to control Li Yuan and kill Li Shimin... everything else was trivial.

In fact, these two things may go hand in hand, because the Xuanwu Gate is on the northwest side of the Taiji Palace, and the East Palace is adjacent to the east side of the Taiji Palace. The access roads are narrow, but dozens of soldiers may be enough... because The Chengqian Hall where Li Shimin lives is located in the northeast of Taiji Palace, not far from the East Palace.

In other words, once the crown prince raises troops, the Palace of Chengqian will immediately be within the attack range of the Eastern Palace's forces... This is too much of a threat to Li Shimin and his wives, concubines and heirs.

Li Shan suddenly wanted to laugh. There were many reasons why Li Shimin chose the Xuanwumen Mutiny in the end, but the most direct trigger was that he was kicked out of Chang'an and lived in Hongyi Palace on the north side of Taiji Palace... In the Forbidden Garden, within the attack range of the Changlin Army.

This is tantamount to saying that Li Yuan tacitly allowed the prince to enter Qin Palace... Li Shimin couldn't bear it anymore, and finally launched a mutiny. In this way, Xue Wanche almost captured Hongyi Palace.

Thinking about those, and then thinking about this life, Li Shan only felt that it was a trick of good fortune.
