Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 1005

For the next few days, Li Shan stayed at home obediently, not going anywhere, thanking guests behind closed doors with the excuse of cold air entering his body, and seeing no one...Although everyone knew that the so-called recuperation was an excuse, Ling Yan He was so drunk in the pavilion, he didn't look like a sick person.

Well, Li Shan didn't even pay a visit to Princess Pingyang, although he really wanted to see the little niece who was named princess by Li Yuan... Others didn't dare to say, but Li Shan was very sure, Absolutely not this baby girl.

Until the end of the first month, on the second day of February, Ling Jing came to Li's house early in the morning, "Have you thought about it?"

"Well, it's just today." Li Shanqian nodded with a smile, "Brother Xiaoqing just happened to invite Dalang Zhang to accompany him..."

Ling Jing thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Take a look and let King Bin calm down. Pei Hongda probably won't notice him."

After Li Shan returned to Beijing, he returned to Zhuangzi after staying in Cui's mansion for a day, and didn't meet anyone except Wang Renbiao, and even thanked guests behind closed doors. The reason was that he needed to see Ma Zhou first.

Regardless of whether it is the prince or Pei Shiju, if Donggong wants to do something, it is impossible not to go to the Xuanwu Gate, and it is impossible for Ma Zhou, who is beside Chang He, the guard of the Xuanwu Gate, to not see any signs.

Li Shan, Ling Jing, Li Shimin, and Fang Xuanling all find it a bit tricky how to use Ma Zhou as a pawn. If King Qin wants to raise troops, it will be of great use. After the prince enters the Taiji Palace, he will block the Xuanwu Gate , can cut off the Changlin army, but now that it is possible to raise troops in the East Palace, and King Qin becomes the defensive side, it is difficult to say.

Because if it was the attacking side, the King of Qin would send generals to take over the Xuanwu Gate at the beginning of the army. This is indeed the case in history. Zhang Gongjin closed the palace gate, Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng died in battle, but the Changlin army never broke through the Xuanwu Gate. Door.

But now it is the defensive side. Unless the time for the crown prince to raise troops is confirmed, it is impossible for the king of Qin to send his confidants to sit at the Xuanwu gate... Not to mention that Li Yuan would not agree, and even Chai Shao, who was restraining the imperial army in Beiya, would not agree.

If this chess piece is Chang He, the Xuanwu gate guard, it will be easy to handle... For this reason, Ling Jing also mentioned last night that Changsun Wuji complained several times about this. Why choose Ma Zhou?
This is also the doubt in Ling Jing's heart. Ma Zhou has not been with Li Shan for a long time, but he has also experienced the Shandong War and traveled north to Daizhou. different.

Ling Jing didn't think that Li Shanhui couldn't subdue Chang He.

Ling Jing had asked cryptically a few times before, but Li Shan could only be vague... There is no way to explain it. In fact, the most difficult thing to explain is why it happened that Chang He became the guard of the Xuanwu Gate.

Other aspects... Uh, there is no way to explain it, why use Ma Zhou instead of Chang He?
Up to now, Li Shan can't confirm whether Chang He really joined the Eastern Palace, or whether Li Shimin did it deliberately... If I remember correctly, Li Shimin buried a lot of chess pieces in the Eastern Palace. No denial.

Think about it, if Li Shan wins over Chang He, makes a promise, or takes advantage of him and pushes him to the East Palace, but Chang He is actually Li Shimin's secret son... Yaoshou!

When having breakfast, Li Shan seemed a little absent-minded, but Ling Jing was an old god, and his appetite was quite good. Now the old man is working as a foreigner in the official department, and he is like a duck to water in the official department... After all, Yang Gongren, the official secretary above He has a good personal relationship with Li Shan, and the one above him is King Qin.

Since the King of Qin exercised the authority of Shangshuling, many Tiance officials have entered the six departments of the three provinces. Because of Pei Ji's relationship with Li Yuan, he still has a lot of influence, but his power in Shangshu Province has been greatly suppressed. Among the six departments, the Ministry of Punishment is the only one that the East Palace can handle. After all, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment is Zheng Shanguo, the Duke of Xingyang County, who is the direct descendant of the East Palace.

However, since Ling Jing, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui entered the six departments of the three provinces, the authority of the eldest Sun Wuji in Tiance Mansion has been strengthened. Thinking of this, Li Shan smiled and said, "I heard that Du Zhili is very important recently?"

Ling Jing nodded, "Your Highness can't help it, Yuhuchun... Du Zhili is all given to Taichang Temple."

"Huh?" Li Shan was greatly surprised. Du Yan, who asked for money, didn't confiscate any money... You must know that the amount of Yuhuchun used in the war between Jingzhou and Yuanzhou was not a small number.

"Your Highness?"

Ling Jing shook his head.

It wasn't King Qin who suppressed it, it could only be Du Ruhui, but Ling Jing shook his head again, took a deep look at Li Shan, "It's Feng Deyi."

Li Shan's throat moved, it was actually Feng Lun.

After thinking about it, Li Shan smiled and said, "I didn't expect Feng Lun and Du Yan to have friendship?"

"I don't know the inside story, I just heard Keming mention it." Ling Jing said in a low voice: "Since the old man, Xuanling, and Keming entered the court, most of the affairs of Tiance Mansion have been presided over by the assistant machine, Du Zhili and Feng Deyi."

"Feng Deyi is the order of Zhongshu now, right?"

Ling Jing explained: "Since the king of Qin entered the Shangshu Province, and Jiang Guogong was attached to him, Feng Deyi was a little embarrassed in the Zhongshu Province, so His Highness ordered him to take care of the Tiance Mansion."

Li Shan's eyeballs rolled, this reason is reasonable, since Li Yuan has no immediate plan to change the storage, it is impossible for Li Shimin to control all the three provinces... Even if Li Shimin is in charge of the East Palace, it is impossible, otherwise Who is the emperor?

"Feng Deyi has His Highness's trust?"

"Extremely trustworthy." Ling Jing said this sentence slowly, his eyes collided with Li Shan, and they both moved away.

Ling Jing remembered that when he was in Renshou Palace, Fan Shiyi came to report that Feng Lun had a secret meeting with Qi Wang Li Yuanji at night.

And Li Shan connected Feng Lun, Du Yan, and King Qi. He almost guessed how Feng Lun "persuaded" Du Yan, but one thing is for sure, Feng Lun is likely to be related to Qi Wang. The king has a direct relationship, but Du Yan won't... If he wants to vote, he will also vote for the East Palace, and he will not choose King Qi.

Li Shan became more and more curious, what reason did Feng Lun have in the hands of King Qi?

As far as the current situation is concerned, King Qi is completely hopeless... and it seems that this guy doesn't intend to stop.

"By the way, where is the appointment today?" Ling Jing wiped his hands and said casually: "After all, when King Ma Bin left, you had not yet become the king of the county, so Pei Shiju probably didn't notice, but what status are you now, be careful Missing traces."

"Naturally, we have to choose carefully..." Li Shan's eyes flickered, "The night before the secret meeting with the King of Qin, Pei Shiju sent people to watch Cui's mansion."

"That's good, where to choose?"

Li Shan coughed twice, "After all, I haven't gone out for a long time. Once I enter Chang'an, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hide my whereabouts, so I have to choose a prosperous place. As the saying goes, trees are in the forest, and stones are in the mountains. This is..."

"Where the hell is it?"

Li Shanqian said with a smile: "Pingkang Square."
