Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 258 Sorrow
Chang'an County Government.

Sitting in the side hall, Li Dewu looks a little haggard...it's impossible not to be haggard. After he heard the news that day, he took a chance to go to Shangshuxing Waizai to look carefully. Plan, no mistakes.

Li Dewu was in a daze that day, how could it be possible?

How can it be?

Li Dewu has a ferocious face... He can write this song "Moonlight Night on the Spring River", I might as well wipe my neck and pull him down!
But then Li Dewu listened to someone recite that song...the past was so dirty that it was not enough to boast, but now the debauchery has no boundaries.

The spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease, seeing Chang'an flowers in one day.

Like Li Kai and Wang Renbiao, Li Dewu quickly substituted for the "dirty past".

On the second day, Li Shan became famous in Pingkangfang, and the eight poems spread throughout Chang'an City, plus the song "Wing Chun" at the end of the previous year and Li Bai and Li Taibai's pseudonym... Li Dewu couldn't sleep all night these days.

Li Dewu once heard Wei Xuancheng mention it repeatedly in the East Palace...Li Huairen is a man with a meticulous mind and a good command of the city.

Then...then Li Dewu began to wonder, if he tried his best to fill up the places in Mingjing and Mingshu, leaving only Jinshi, would he have fallen into Li Shan's trap?

Uh, this is a bit overthinking... If it wasn't forced, Li Shan really didn't want to be famous for his poetry, and I don't know how much effort he would have to make up for it in the future.

During these days, Li Dewu couldn't sleep night after night, and suffered day after day... On the one hand, Li Shan was famous for his poetic talent; What reason is that he ordered the closure of Yuhuchun Winery, will Li Shan turn his face?

Once he turns his face... everything will be over. Li Shan doesn't need to do too much, he just needs to reveal his life experience. Li Dewu's most important future will almost be blocked.

Li Dewu didn't dare to gamble, so the day before yesterday, after the news was confirmed, he personally led someone to open the door of Yuhuchun Winery.

The children of the Wang family in Taiyuan, including Wang Renyou, who was favored by the eldest princess of the dynasty, were all beaten like that. It is said that they vomited three liters of blood!

In case Li Shan urged King Huaiyang to attack the Chang'an county government... but he couldn't accuse the other party of disobedience, then the beating would be for nothing!
"My lord, honored guests from outside are here, and the Ming Palace invites you to go."

Li Dewu frowned when a small official reported, "Who is visiting?"

The little official lowered his head and whispered, "Mr. Ying, Minister of Zhongshu."

Li Dewu took a deep breath and cursed a few words secretly, but he was not guilty of facing Yuwen Shiji.

People have differences between good and evil. In other words, Li Dewu also knows that it is wrong for him to abandon his wife and children, and he should be condemned... Even if it happens again, he will still do it.

Therefore, Li Dewu is more or less guilty when facing anyone, but he is not guilty at all when facing Yuwen Shi and...

Well, I'm a scumbag.

But, so do you.

"My lower official pays homage to Ming Mansion and Duke Ying."

Li Ganyou, who was seated first, smiled and exchanged greetings, his eyes flickered back and forth between Yuwen Shi, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and Li Dewu, who was expressionless.

The Danyang House of the Li family in Longxi was also well-known in the former Sui Dynasty. Li Jing’s father, Li Quan, and Li Ganyou’s father, Li Weijie, both served as governors, prefects, and county princes. They naturally knew the grievances between Shen Guogong’s lineage and Yu Wenshu.

Yu Wenshi and his eyes were strange, and he smiled lightly and said, "Why are the titles commensurate with each other?"

Li Dewu's cheeks moved, he cupped his hands reluctantly and said, "Brother Renren."

Li Ganyou on the side couldn't stand it any longer. The whole family of Yuwen Shi and Laozi Yuwen Shuhuo's Shen Guogong family were in bad luck. Li Dewu was exiled to Lingnan for more than ten years because of this. It has been more than two years since he returned to Chang'an. Now I remember It's the turn of the head.

"The broken mirror is reunited, and I'm happy to give birth to Lin'er." Yuwen Shiji said with a smile: "I'm really ashamed that I didn't even send a congratulatory gift to my brother."

Before Li Dewu could speak, Li Ganyou looked at the door in surprise, and waved, "Has Huairen entered the city today?"

Li Dewu's complexion changed drastically, he turned around suddenly, and saw Li Shan smiling and saluting outside the door, "Uncle, Duke Ying is calling today, otherwise I dare not enter the city, my stomach is already empty."

Li Ganyou laughed and said: "Whoever made you famous in Pingkangfang for a day, the poems are all exquisite."

These days, Li Shan is really afraid to enter Chang'an City, not to mention other people, even Li Kai and Wang Renbiao are forcing him... Although there are still a lot of stocks, they must be kept for use!

Of course, what I am most afraid of is to participate in the poetry meeting, in case someone decides a rhyme... I can't keep deliberating on it myself, can I?

Li Dewu gritted his teeth. When did Li Shan hook up with Yuwen Shiji... After thinking about it, he immediately thought of it. He remembered that time when he went to Dongshan Temple and happened to meet Princess Nanyang.

Could it be that Li Shan used some tricks to encourage Yuwen Shiji to come to trouble him... No, if this is the case, after all, it is an act of disobedience, and this rebellious son will definitely not show up.

Looking at Li Shan, Li Ganyou, Yuwen Shiji and greeting each other, Li Dewu quietly retreated to the corner, staring at Li Shan with flickering eyes, and occasionally glanced at Yuwen Shiji.

Although it is still unclear what happened... But it is certain that Yuwen Shiji summoned Li Shan, and it is very likely that he was targeting him.

Does Yuwen Shiji know something?

Li Shan probably won't tell the truth, which is of no benefit to him.

Li Dewu thought in his heart, Li Shan looked quite similar to himself when he was young, could this be the reason?
After listening in the corner for a while, Li Dewu suddenly felt powerless in his heart, sad!
Listen to what they talked about, listen to the names they mentioned... I returned to the Chang'an I dreamed of, abandoned my wife, abandoned my son, and even abandoned my dignity, but so far I am only a Chang'an county lieutenant. Pei Shiju valued it, but he was not respected by servants, and he almost respected everyone in the outside world!

But Li Shan was able to make friends with so many people... The children of the Li family in Longxi, the children of the Wang family in Taiyuan, the children of the Yang family in Hongnong, the children of the Lu family in Fanyang, the children of the Liu family in Hedong, the children of the Du family in Jingzhao, as well as Wei Zheng, Wei Ting, Lee Do Hyun...

In other words, what Li Shan can do is much better than him in rebuilding the family, which Li Dewu attaches the most importance to.

Li Shan already had considerable weight in Chang'an City, while Li Dewu was still an insignificant pawn.

Li Dewu felt deep sorrow.

At this time, Yuwen Shiji turned his head to look and said with a smile: "I haven't introduced you yet, this is Chang'an County Lieutenant Li Dewu, the son-in-law of Pei Xiangkuai, the provincial servant."

Li Shan looked calm, and chuckled, "A few months ago, I joined the army with my uncle and went south to Shaanxi Road. I saw Li Xianwei on the way, and he was actually the son-in-law of Prime Minister Pei. He really is a good-looking talent."

"I dare not take it." Li Dewu felt his face froze.

"Dewu is the successor of Duke Shen of the former Sui Dynasty. He has a prominent family and has both civil and military skills. Otherwise, how could he be picked by Prime Minister Pei?" Yuwen Shiji laughed and said, "Today there is another small matter that needs to be accomplished by virtue and martial arts."

Li Dewu took a deep breath, "Brother Ren, please give me instructions."

Turning his gaze, Li Dewu saw Li Ganyou with a puzzled face, and Li Shan with a pitiful face.
