Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 21 Misfortune is coming
Three or two little birds chirped on the small tree outside the window, and the fluttering of their wings woke up Li Shan who was memorizing with his eyes closed.

"Xiao Man, don't chase the birds." Li Shan said with a smile, "Take a piece of millet on the window sill, it's a magpie."

"Oh, this is a good omen." Xiaoman outside the window threw away the wooden stick and bounced to the kitchen.

"The power of concentration is so unbearable, how can you achieve great things!"

Hearing this reprimand, Li Shan didn't raise his eyelids, he only looked down at the "Gongyang Biography" on the table, and after confirming that he could read and analyze the paragraph just now, he said: "This paragraph is already clear, sir, please continue. "

Zhou Zhao couldn't get used to sitting on a bar stool, so he sat on the floor and leaned against the wall, a good distance away from Li Shan...sitting too close, he had to lift his head when talking.

"Already understand?" Zhou Zhao got up, put on his shoes, with a relaxed look, "It's not as clear as Xiaoman!"

Li Shan finally raised his head and glanced at the disheveled young man, and said seriously: "It's not a gentleman's job to talk about people's right and wrong behind their backs, sir, please practice your eloquence."

After this period of time, Zhou Zhao is indeed proficient in all classics and history collections, and any questions Li Shan can get perfect answers to, but this guy does not practice morals and grooming, and his reputation in the village is quite bad.

"You will pity the fragrance and cherish the jade..." Zhou Zhao muttered, walked to the desk and began to explain "The Legend of Gongyang".

In this era, there are very few women who are proficient in the history of classics. Either they are from aristocratic families, and they have to be the daughters of top rich families to be able to read the history of classics, or they are from Pingkangfang...

The famous prostitutes in Pingkang Fang all specialize in tea cooking, musical instruments, poetry, music and dance, and some of them are good at classics and history... The needs of customers are their specialties.

Zhou Zhao's words were unintentional, but in the ears of others, it was mocking Xiaoman's origin in Pingkangfang.

Zhou Zhao interpreted a paragraph, Li Shan asked a few questions, and then meditated silently. In the examination of classics, filling in the blanks is the most important question, but there are three questions in the back, which also need to be answered with a subset of classics and history as the core.

Outside the window, Xiaoman was looking up at the magpie on the tree, throwing a small handful of millet on the ground from time to time, eagerly looking forward to the magpie coming down to play with her, looking innocent and innocent.

"The body is romantic, delicate and cute, such a beautiful maid..."

"Eight Uncle."

Zhou Zhao shook his body, turned his head to look at the closed door, and said angrily: "I only taught "Book of Rites" the day before yesterday, don't you know how to respect the teacher?"

Li Shan leaned back on the chair expressionlessly, when a figure flashed by the window, Zhou Zhao staggered back a few steps in fright.

"You are just teaching, call you Mr., and want to be Da Lang's teacher?"

Zhu Wei snorted coldly, "I didn't have any money in my pocket to eat and drink. If it wasn't recommended by others, I would have let you be beaten to death by the shopkeeper!"

Li Shan turned his head and took a look. No wonder his nose was bruised and his face was swollen on the first day.

"Da Lang, if this guy is disobedient, please say hello."

Li Shan said calmly: "Five days ago, I received a monthly salary of ten guan, bought all the drinks, got drunk, and missed two days of classes."

"It's you who said two days off..." Zhou Zhao saw that Zhu Wei had already rolled up his sleeves.

"From the first day of teaching to the 26th day, you have taken a total of nine days off."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Zhao had already opened the door and ran away without a trace. Li Shan got up angrily and cursed: "What a bastard, where did Babo find it?"

"This person came from a poor background, but he is full of talent and learning. He used to be a teaching assistant in Zhou, but he drank alcohol every day and was reprimanded by the superior and resigned." Zhu Wei thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, Dalang. He offended others and dared not enter." Those in Chang'an City, don't worry."

After a pause, Zhu Wei added: "You can use it with confidence, too."

Li Shan glanced at Xiaoman who was not far away. He was only 13 years old this year, and he seemed to be developing a little early. When he walked, his small waist naturally twisted... Li Shan couldn't help but rubbed his hands, it felt really good.

After holding back for more than half a month, I still haven't made a real move. On the one hand, I am a little worried about Xiaoman's background. Most of the prostitutes in Pingkangfang are from Jiaofang Secretary. Xiaoman's age is likely to be a prisoner.

On the other hand, at the age of 13, when thinking of this age, Li Shan always thinks of something more than three years old... How about trying the cherry mouth first?
While thinking about these things, Li Shan asked: "Uncle Ba is coming here now... Doesn't it look like a good thing?"

"Hey, disaster is coming." Zhu Wei nodded heavily, "I heard the news when I entered the city today, King Qin defeated Liu Heita in Luoshui, and King Dong of Han led the remnant troops to flee north."

Zhu Wei explained in detail the battle in Hebei that he had inquired about, and Li Shan listened quietly. These were far away from him, and the so-called disaster should be a chain reaction related to this great victory.

Sure enough, after a while, Zhu Wei said softly: "Chang'an ordered Wang Xu to lead the army to block the upper reaches of the Mingshui River, and released the water to destroy the Han Dongwang's battle formation, and made a great contribution."

"Huh?" Li Shan frowned, "Chang'an order?"

"Yes." Zhu Wei said with a wry smile, "Wang Xu must be promoted, and the Chang'an Order must be vacant."

Li Shan raised his brows, "The position of the Chang'an Commander is not high but powerful, if he can intervene in various parts of the capital, it must be a place of contention for all parties... Is it the Pei family, or that person?"

"Da Lang really has little knowledge." Zhu Wei sighed, "Li Dewu wants to fight for the Chang'an Order to become an official."

It is very simple to judge that Zhu's family, Li Shan's mother and son have not yet registered, and Li Shan still wants to take part in the imperial examination next year. Whether it is registration or recommendation for scientific examination, he must go through the hands of Chang'an Ling.

It could only be a member of the Pei family, or Li Dewu's appointment as the Chang'an order would be a disaster for Li Shan.

"Not yet?"

"Well, the news is secret, and few people outside know about it."

Li Shan didn't bother to ask about Zhu Wei's source, so he took a few steps slowly, "Pei Shiju and Prince Zhan Shi are actually neutral, and they don't favor the East Palace or Qin Palace, and his son-in-law's appointment as Chang'an Ling... is a good balance between East Palace and Qin Palace. "

Li Shan looked at Zhu Wei who didn't know why, and explained: "The king of Qin made new achievements in Hebei, and the military achievements are so great that even a saint can't hold him back. In the future, there will be friction between the palace of the king of Qin and the east palace."

"Chang'an order... Donggong will never let it out, if the Pei family steps forward..."

Taking a deep breath, Li Shan knew that big trouble was coming, even if he could get away with it, but he was recommended to take part in the scientific examination, and he had to have a look in front of Chang'an Ling no matter what.

Li Shan couldn't make up his mind for a while, looking at Zhu Wei's leaving back, he thought how he was so unlucky to bump into him.

Can't you just live a peaceful life and wait until I'm in my early years to die?

Do you recommend another state or county?

I'm afraid the difficulty is very high. If such a simple method can be done, Babo will not be surprised... Presumably the person behind him has limited ability and cannot stretch his arms and legs so long.

"Lang Jun." Xiao Man came in with a tea bowl in his hands, and stretched out his slender hands to touch Li Shan's frowning brows.

Li Shan casually embraced Yingying's small waist, and was so worried that he didn't even bother to try the cherry sip.

"Xiaoman, in Pingkangfang, there is a lot of money, but in Zhujiagou, there is a lot of food and drink..."

"The concubine has already said that, the lord rescued the concubine from the flames, and I will follow the lord for the rest of my life."

Li Shan is not stupid, he is just a fool when he says this, Xiaoman must have a reason that he doesn't know.
