Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 1047
The night was a little dark, and Cui Shiniang asked in a low voice again in the backyard, but she still got a negative answer, and she couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Don't worry about him." Mrs. Zhu didn't care, "The cooking room in the outer courtyard has always kept people at night, so he can't be hungry."

Cui Shiniang hesitated for a while, and said cautiously: "My family, send my daughter-in-law over..."

Mrs. Zhu shook her head, "It's always like this whenever you encounter a pass. He is waiting for Duke Ling."

After a pause, Zhu added: "The inner study is fine, but you'd better not go to the outer study."

There is a study room in the inner and outer courtyards of Li's house, both of which are specially used by Li Shan. The outer study room is the place where Li Shan, Ling Jing and others discuss secret matters. Not to mention when there are people, even when there is no one, there are loyal relatives. Guards are guarding, and no one is allowed to enter.

In fact, it is different from Zhu's imagination. Although Li Shan encountered a pass this time, he was not embarrassed. Although he was waiting for Ling Jing, he was not just waiting. Let the kitchen in the front yard deliver hot pot.

"I used to say that His Majesty is the best at making peace with people. I think you are the best at it." Ling Jing stepped into the door and said with a sneer, "Your Highness mentioned that Huai Ren is too slippery. He may be a chancellor in the future, but he is determined not to enter Yushitai."

Li Shan groaned twice and didn't refute anything, but he was slandering in his heart, Li Shimin, you don't hurt your back when you stand and talk, I don't know Li Yuan's attitude, and I don't know your attitude, do you want me to charge forward?

What if Li Yuan lost his nerve and Pei Shiju did something secretly, and he and Su Dingfang went to garrison Yulin County?
This kind of possibility is very small, but it is not impossible. If Li Yuan is determined to win Yulin County, he is really a suitable choice. This is why Li Shan has never dared to make a choice today. One of the reasons why Zhang Shigui launched it.

If he really lost himself in Yulin County, it's hard to say about Tuli Khan's good brother, but Dubu Khan's good friend will definitely come to cause trouble.

Therefore, Li Shan waited for Ling Jing to come over tonight, and the most important thing was to ask, what is Li Shimin's attitude?

Ling Jing sat down slowly, and poured himself a glass of wine, "Your Highness, please see Your Majesty after leaving the office today, and promise not to set up a county rashly."

Li Shan breathed a sigh of relief, and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, "See you tomorrow."

"Well, Your Highness also means the same thing." Ling Jing sighed: "The Crown Prince and the King of Qin are both advocating and slowing down. It is only appropriate for you to persuade them with state affairs."

This is somewhat euphemistic. Li Shan did not dare to openly make a choice in the Hall of Liangyi today, but he met with him in private, insisted on pros and cons, and advised Li Yuan to be cautious. suspicious.

Knowing Li Shimin's attitude, Li Shan has nothing to worry about. While eating and drinking, he is mentally planning to meet tomorrow. In fact, the key is not that Li Yuan doubts whether he has a private relationship with the East Palace. It is reckoned that Li Yuan did not want to see the communication.

Therefore, the key lies in Su Dingfang, the coach of the Lingzhou Army.

As long as Guan Nei Dao's military power is not in the hands of the Eastern Palace's direct lineage, in fact, from the perspective of military strength and combat power, even if Luo Yi is on the side of the Eastern Palace, the Qin Palace still has an absolute advantage.

For Li Shan, Su Dingfang's return to Beijing may not be a bad thing. On the one hand, he has a general with extraordinary force on his side, who can not only protect Sun Moon Lake, but also defeat the enemy at critical moments. On the other hand, it will also change Li Yuan's attitude towards him. .

Losing military power is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as it does not fall into the hands of Donggong.

Li Shan thought helplessly, after returning to Beijing, he was forced to relax the bottom line again and again. Originally, he thought that as long as Su Dingfang was in charge of the Lingzhou Army, he would be able to secure victory. It seemed that his thinking was too simple.

The emperor is a creature that can never be treated with common sense. Li Shan reminded himself in his heart that after Li Er ascended the throne, he had better restrain himself... But by that time, he had neither military power nor plans to enter the court as prime minister. , it is always possible to be a rich and idle person, right?

After discussing the plan with Ling Jing, Li Shan was about to go back to the backyard, but suddenly remembered Li Yuan's ugly face today, and casually mentioned something, but Ling Jing's face showed a very strange look.

"What happened?" Li Shan became interested. Now that he has already achieved fame, he, a traveler, is most interested in the secrets. Up to now, he has not given up on figuring out the secrets between King Qi and Feng Lun. attempt.

"Your Highness is also in a difficult situation." Ling Jing sighed, "Three phoenixes in the east of the river, three phoenixes in the east of the river, the owls are dead, but the young ones are still there, not to mention that Bo Bao assisted His Highness, who did his best and made great achievements. "

Li Shan was at a loss when he heard that, Ling Jing could only explain: "The so-called Three Phoenixes in Hedong, that is, Xue Shou of the Xue family in Hedong, brother Xue Deyin and nephew Xue Yuanjing, all three of them are praised by the world for their talent, learning and behavior. For the eldest chick, Xue Deyin is the owl, and Xue Yuanjing is the owl."

"Bang!" Li Shan slapped the table and suddenly realized: "It must be because of Xue Jieyu!"

Last year, Renshou Palace was in turmoil, and many courtiers died on the spot or were taken away, but most of the taken away courtiers were returned later, but Xue Jieyu did not... Later Liang Luoren dedicated it to Liang Shidu.

Hey, the hat on Li Yuan's head is called green.

But this has been happening for so long, why did it suddenly happen today?
Ling Jing was not surprised that Li Shan had guessed it, and sighed: "Xue Sili was convicted of literature and died at the hands of Emperor Yang of the former Sui Dynasty. Xue Shou swore not to serve in the Sui Dynasty, and the Xue family in Hedong probably did the same."

Li Shan interjected: "So Your Majesty raised troops in Jinyang, and the Xue family from Hedong mostly came to vote. Besides Xue Shou, that Xue Yuanjing seems to be also in Tiance Mansion?"

"That's right, Xue Deyin served in Zheng in Three Phoenixes of Hedong, and was killed after the First World War in Luoyang. Xue Yuanjing and Xue Shou were also listed as eighteen bachelors, and now he is joining the army in the Tiance Mansion's office, which is quite respected by Du Keming."

"That's why His Highness feels embarrassed."

"Difficult?" Li Shan blinked.

Indeed, Xue Daoheng and Li Yuan were both officials of the Sui Dynasty, and they still had friendship. Xue Shou made great contributions under Li Shimin's command. He was an aide with the same reputation as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

Ling Jing once mentioned that Li Shimin's earliest plan was that Fang Xuanling could be the order of ministers, Du Ruhui could be the servant, and Xue Shou could be the order of Zhongshu... Unfortunately, Xue Shou died of illness at the age of 34.

Even now, Xue Yuanjing, who is listed as an eighteenth bachelor, has a high status in Tiance Mansion.

However, Li Shan still found it strange, guessing that Xue Jieyu was snatched back by Tang Jun, at most it was a claustrophobic palace, why was Li Shimin so embarrassed?
The next moment, Li Shan's mouth was about to burst open, and he asked tentatively, "How many months?"

The corners of Ling Jing's mouth twitched, "It's almost time to give birth."
