Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 176 Good excuse
It has been more than a year since Li Shan came to this era, and he is not familiar with many famous historical figures, such as Li Kai, Wang Renbiao, and Li Zhaode, who actually did not know their names in previous lives.

Yuchi Baolin, Cheng Chumo and the others also know at most one name... Well, Changsun Chong is quite familiar, after all, the wife shares.

Tian Liu'an, Cheng Mingzhen, Li Daoxuan, and Qi Shanxing were similar, and Li Shan's impression of them was far less deep than that of the dead Liu Heitai.

Counting and counting, there are only Su Dingfang, Ma Zhou, and Wei Zheng. Ling Jing is a celebrity in this era, but he is unknown in later generations.

On weekdays, Li Shan was considered gentle and refined, treating others... At least he was kind on the surface, but today he was furious... Not to mention Su Dingfang, even Wei Zheng was taken aback.

Wei Zheng heard in Chang'an that although Li Shan was on good terms with the children of Prince Qin's mansion, he fought twice, and Yuchi Gong's eldest son, Yuchi Baolin, was beaten unconscious.

But what happened today will definitely not be able to scare Ma Zhou, who knows Li Shan very well and can be called a good friend.

So, when he saw that Li Shan had already started to relax, completely ignoring the wounded around him... Ma Zhou finally broke out.

Li Shan looked at Ma Zhou who was jumping in front of him in confusion... It took him a while to realize, yes, he is a doctor!

Li Shan blamed himself a little. As a doctor, he didn't expect to heal Ma Zhou's wounds... But after thinking about it, this shows how annoying Ma Zhou is usually!
Even a professional person like me can't think of it!
After tossing for a while, Ma Zhou tentatively grinned in pain, "A certain person helped me a lot today, that wine..."

The wine brought three months ago has long been used up, and now Zhao Da has just brought it here to clean the wound... Naturally it hurts, and a drunkard like Ma Zhou is drooling.

"Started dreaming before going to bed?" Li Shan laughed and said, "Go up and provoke Qinghe Cui's people without saying hello!"

Ma Zhou sneered and said, "If I greet you in advance, I'm afraid you won't show up until a certain person is beaten to death... At that time, the Qinghe Cui family will naturally be at a loss!"

"Wei Xuancheng owes you a favor, so naturally he has to mediate."

"Qinghe Cui, or you, Li Huairen, which one is more important?"

"When I return to the capital, the crown prince will probably not recruit you into the East Palace anymore..."

Although Ma Zhou was not clear about Li Shan's secrets, there were some things that could be seen... After all, Ma Zhou had been in Zhujiagou for so long, and when Zhu Wei reported the news to Beijing, most of them did not avoid him. .

Ma Zhou discovered early on that Zhu Wei's backside should be related to the East Palace. Many information is absolutely inaccessible to ordinary villagers, and it may only come from the East Palace in a short period of time.

But Ma Zhou also discovered that Li Shan seemed to be more interested in Qin Wangfu, and once asked about the two wars in Luoyang and Hulaoguan.

After the Changlepo incident, Li Shan used various means to get along with the children of Prince Qin's mansion unexpectedly. Yuchi Baolin, Cheng Chumo, Gao Xingshi and others often came to Zhujiagou, but Zhu Wei once had some objections to this, until that day The attitude changed only after the bandits attacked the village.

Li Shanqian laughed a few times, "Why is this, why is this..."

I tried my best to put on a sincere expression, but I also thought in my heart that it would be better if Ma Zhou's injury was a little... a little more serious.

Hey, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, Li Shan is really ashamed, my good old man has been blackened by the big ink vat of this era!
It's so sad!
Ma Zhou lay reclined on the couch, with a hot towel on his face, and cursed, "Today is such a bad day, you used it as a raft!"

Li Shan seldom greeted Ma Zhou, and was careful to accompany him, "Isn't it just a coincidence...Anyway, you and Cui Hao have had old grievances for a long time."

"By the way, I kicked him today, isn't the force too light?"

"Speaking of which, do you have any grudges with Qinghe Cui You?"

"The Cui family of Qinghe is well-known all over the world...they just have a grudge with Cui Hao and Cui Xianshou." Ma Zhou snorted, "If you refuse to enter the East Palace, such a small trick... the fire is just right, Cui Hao is notorious for holding grudges."

"Oh, it's the best to hold grudges!" Li Shan clapped his palms and smiled lightly.

Ma Zhou suddenly lifted the towel, "Isn't King Qin enough to protect him?"

This is what Ma Zhou has always wondered about. This time, Li Shan has helped Li Shimin a lot, and even sent generous gifts such as Ling Jing and Cheng Mingzhen, and Li Shimin sent Li Kai as an envoy to Weizhou... Obviously he has the intention of accepting it. After all, the relationship between Li Kai and Li Shan is public.

If Li Shan made up his mind to invest in the Qin Palace and rejected Wei Zheng directly, there is no need to fiddle with these small tricks... and Wei Zheng has not formally recruited the prince, Li Shan is trying to stop Wei Zheng's mouth in advance.

Li Shan picked up the towel, went to carry it again, and said slowly: "I must return to Chang'an before mid-December, and go to Chang'an County Government for assessment."

"Imperial examination?" Ma Zhou took the towel and covered his face, revealing a pair of eyes that kept rolling.

Li Shan smiled and did not continue to explain. In many cases, having an extra retreat is not just an extra choice.

Qin Wangfei sent a message to return to Beijing before mid-December to participate in the Chang'an county government assessment. Obviously Li Shimin recognized Li Shan's choice... not to directly join the Qin Palace, but to pass the scientific examination to become an official.

Li Shimin can rest assured that as long as Li Dewu is in the East Palace, Li Shan has no other possibilities, and if Li Shan himself does not directly enter the Qin Palace, some plausible excuses are needed to evade Wei Zheng's possible solicitation.

After meeting Cui Hao in Wei County that day, Li Shan felt that he had found an excuse... secretly asked Ma Zhou, who was still in Luozhou, to go back to Guantao.

So, although what happened today was a coincidence, it was inevitable... Well, it might seem more natural, especially since Su Dingfang's departure made this scene completely devoid of acting.

Just thinking about it, Su Dingfang came back over there, and Li Shan went back to Guantao and hadn't visited Su's mother yet, so he stopped by to have a meal.

As for Ma Zhou, he just went to the wounded barracks to have a sick meal, but Li Shan reckoned that this guy might be looking for Zhao Dahun for a drink.

"Something happened just now, I didn't have time to visit my aunt, I'm sorry." Li Shan approached with a playful smile, and helped Su's mother to sit down, "There are so many people gathered today, so Mrs. Zhou cooked a table of good dishes. Brother, today is a lucky day."

Su Dingfang showed a rare smile, "Mother... Mrs. Zhou is very skilled."

"That's for my younger brother to point out." Li Shan patted his chest, "Tuesday, let's sit down too, and you're not an outsider."

Zhou Yilang glanced at Zhou Shi, then at Su Dingfang, hesitated and refused to sit down, but it was Li Shan who forced him down on the stool.

"This mutton is well stewed!" Li Shan chewed without manners, causing Su's mother on the opposite side to look over with a smile. The more so, the more she is an outsider.

At this time, Zhao Da suddenly came to the door.

"Why, that guy asked you for a drink again?"

"Lang Jun..." Ambassador Zhao winked, he wanted to go out and talk about something.

Li Shan was stunned for a moment, and said decisively: "They are all from my own family, so speak up if you have something to say."

Zhao Da hesitated for a while and still didn't say anything, if Lang Jun hadn't come here for dinner suddenly, he really couldn't find this opportunity.

Everyone was a little strange, but they immediately noticed that Zhao Da's eyes wandered over Zhou's body from time to time.

After a while, everyone understood that Li Shan's mother, Mrs. Zhu, did not allow a little widow to enter the house, even if it was just as a concubine.
