Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 1052
"possible."

Beside the oil lamp, Ling Jing, whose hair was already graying, looked rather ugly, and said coldly, "But there is another possibility."

Li Shan was a little surprised, "Xue Wanshu and Su's mother have been in contact only two or three times."

"You forgot that last year you went to war with Su Dingfang, and his mother lived in Li's house." Ling Jing lowered his head slightly, "Master Li Ke went with you, and all the descendants except the third son, Li Kai, are mediocre and I don't know what's inside."

"The Changsun family knows the inside story, but they may not be able to control it."

"It is indeed possible..." Li Shan also came to his senses, "At that time, His Majesty had already disliked the crown prince. It might be because he had buried his eyeliner in the East Palace, or he might have sent someone to watch him..."

Speaking of this, Li Shan paused for a moment. If someone stared at Su Dingfang's mother, he would definitely not miss his own mother.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Zhu has always been cautious. She seldom goes out. Mostly she visits Princess Pingyang and Duke Ying's residence." Ling Jing snorted.

Li Shan felt a little weird, his mother had such a good relationship with Wu Zetian's old lady, so wouldn't it be logical for him to take in the mother and daughter of the Yang family who were kicked out in the future?
"Dingfang led the army to go out, and his mother offered incense and worshiped the Buddha. There is nothing wrong with that." Ling Jing sighed, "Perhaps this is how the East Palace is connected with Su's mother."

After thinking about it, Li Shan still felt that it was not possible, and shook his head and said: "It was reasonable for Xue Wanshu to visit before, but after the Tiantai Mountain battle, the crown prince lost his virtue... It is impossible for Su's mother not to know that the Eastern Palace is declining. Isn't it stupid to come and go?"

"You don't think she's stupid?" Ling Jing sneered and said, "Back then, Ding Fang followed Sichang to the west to conquer Tuyuhun, beheaded generals and captured the flag, captured Khan alive, killed famous kings, and later chased after the great victory of Yanmen on a snowy night, and captured Yugu She alive. , but you were not conferred a title, but you were included in the clan, and you were conferred the title of county king..."

Li Shan recalled that it was indeed the case, Su Dingfang was not able to be conferred the title of Linqing County Duke until after he defeated the Turks the year before last.

"So his mother was quite angry."

Li Shan finally understood, but his mouth was about to turn crooked. This logic is really invincible.

Su Dingfang has basically been leading the army by his side except for the western expedition to Tuyuhun. In Su's mother's view, these military exploits are all Su Dingfang's, and I, the commander, is greedy for his son's military exploits, and has shamelessly entered the rank again and again. As a result, Su Dingfang suffered a big loss.

Regarding this logic, Li Shanfa was stunned for a while, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it.

"If it wasn't for Huai Ren, who would have decided to live in the grass, he might not be able to become a prince in this life." Ling Jing scolded unceremoniously: "This old woman is almost a bad thing!"

Li Shan thought about it, but he didn't quite remember whether Su Dingfang was granted the title of Duke in history, but he was sure that he didn't become famous until the reign of Emperor Gaozong.

After being silent for a while, Li Shan forced a smile, "But it's not necessarily a bad thing. Your Majesty's pointing out Mother Su is obviously meant to let go."

Ling Jing nodded, eyes flickering, "Maybe you can try again?"

"what?"

Ling Jing waved his hand, Li Shan listened to him, hesitated a moment later, "Where... is Brother Fang?"

"It's okay." Ling Jing snorted, "Why do you think the old man knows that the old woman often worships the Buddha?"

"Before going out last year, Brother Ding Fang privately mentioned that he was afraid that the East Palace would resort to tricks and send it to Li's house."

"But the old woman still insists on..."

Seeing that Ling Jing couldn't find a suitable word, Li Shan added in his heart...he must come up with something.

After sending Ling Jing away, Li Shan returned to the backyard exhaustedly, and collapsed on the soft couch without any appearance as soon as he entered the door.

It's mid-April now, when it's neither hot nor cold, the windows are open, and the lanterns hanging outside are not bright, making the garden quite gloomy.

However, Li Shan is quite familiar with this, and has a familiar feeling of returning to the old house in his previous life. When he glanced over, he saw the wind blowing, and the big trees swayed and made a clear sound. In the dead of night, it sounds quite heavenly. .

"Lang Jun is back." After an unknown amount of time, Cui Shiniang's voice rang in her ears.

"Mother is asleep?" Li Shancai realized that he had fallen asleep unknowingly, without opening his eyes, and said with a smile: "Mother likes you as a son who is a long-distance husband."

"What nonsense!" Cui Shiniang stomped her feet in embarrassment, secretly exerting force in her hands.

"It hurts, it hurts!" Li Shan, who had been pinched, bounced back on the spot, and was about to hug Cui Shiniang to reprimand her with family law, when she opened her eyes and saw her mother who was speechless.

"Mother... mother."

Zhu pointed at the tip of her son's nose, "I do love Eleven Niang far more than you."

"My son knows, my son knows." Li Shan nodded and bowed and asked Mrs. Zhu to sit down, and glared at Cui Shiniang, who was blushing, "Mother is rarely here, so I don't want to make tea!"

"Those maids have all been transferred to the main courtyard, and even the tea sets have been brought over." Mrs. Zhu sneered, "You don't like tea, so why bother Eleven Niang?"

Blocked speechless by these words, Li Shan coughed a few times before asking: "Is mother coming tonight..."

If you have nothing to do, you can't come here... This is a scolding, Cui Shiniang rushed to the front, "Mr. Lang entered the palace for two consecutive days to see His Majesty, and at night he discussed with Duke Ling until late at night. The family is a little worried."

This daughter-in-law is well chosen, she not only protects her husband, but also takes care of her mother-in-law's face, Zhu's anger turned into joy, and said with a smile: "Isn't it Eleven Niang who mentioned it first?"

"My family..."

I didn’t expect to hear this kind of coquettishness with a baby voice without a short video in this life. Li Shan shuddered, "Brother Ding Fang and Duke Dou defeated Liang Shidu, and the court is discussing whether to recover Yulin County. Therefore, His Majesty summoned the child to discuss the matter."

Mrs. Zhu couldn't understand the mystery, so she just sighed: "The war in Lingzhou is finally coming to an end, and Mrs. Li has been waiting very hard."

"Mr. Zhao Guo will return to Beijing soon." Cui Shiniang said in a low voice. In Zhuangzi, she has the most contacts with Li Shi. On the one hand, they have similar backgrounds. On the other hand, Su Dingfang and Li Shan are too close, and they are considered relatives by marriage relationship.

After a pause, Cui Shiniang looked at Li Shan, "Your Majesty, the sister of the Li family may have some guesses."

Li Shan was not surprised by this. After all, Mrs. Li lived in Sun Moon Lake, and she didn't stay at home like Su's mother and didn't deal with others. She knew that her husband and Ling Jing often had secret discussions with Li Shan. The confidantes of King Qin, the positions of Li Shan and Su Dingfang can be imagined.

"It's not in the way." Li Shan shook his head, hesitated and said in a low voice: "Tomorrow, you can invite the sister-in-law of the Li family to come over to discuss some matters with her... Uh, it's better to go early, there is no morning tomorrow, so hurry up to go to Ling Gong Before Chang'an."

"Okay." Cui Shiniang responded quickly without asking any more questions.

Li Shan thought to himself, Ling Jing's idea was a bit sinister, and he couldn't rush ahead. If something happened, Su Dingfang would not turn against each other, but there was still a gap.
