Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 260
Li Dewu stayed in the backyard for a long, long time, until the sunset and night fell, and Li Dewu slowly walked out of the county office... Frustration, anger, hatred and other negative emotions bit his heart like a poisonous snake.

Yuwen Shi and every word of praise for Li Shan seemed to cut a hole in Li Dewu's body like a dagger.

Yuwen Shiji has repeatedly emphasized that the reason why the world's famous families are endless is that there are a steady stream of heroes in the family...

And Li Shan smiled coldly, like sprinkling salt on those openings.

After returning to Pei's mansion like a zombie, Li Dewu rubbed the skin on his face vigorously and put on a gentle smile until he entered the small courtyard of the couple... No matter what, he could only go on this road.

Regret?
When he woke up in the middle of the night, Li Dewu asked himself again and again...but he still had no answer.

But today Yuwen Shiji and Li Shan came together, Li Dewu knew that the answer was meaningless, and it didn't matter if he didn't regret it later.

If it was said that he just abandoned his wife and children before, his virtue was at a disadvantage, but today Yuwen Shiji's words have torn his face.

"Tigers are poisonous and do not eat their offspring. You, Li Dewu, are even more vicious than tigers."

Transferring from Mingjing and Mingshu to Jinshi is not a tiger's poison, so the other party must be referring to the incident in Shandong Road... Li Dewu can be sure that the other party will not have obvious evidence. It was proved that he made Li Shan go north to Hebei Road, but this kind of thing does not need evidence.

Uh, in fact, it is mainly Yuwen Shiji who is more annoyed... Li Shan himself doesn't care much.

After all, even though Li Shan took risks during his trip to Hebei, he also gained a lot... Besides, it was that time that pushed Li Dewu into the embrace of the East Palace.

First, he went to the wet nurse to check on the child. This is Li Dewu's most important reliance now. He thought to himself, at least Li Shan didn't intend to pierce the window paper, and this child is still his eldest son.

After changing his clothes, Li Dewu unexpectedly didn't see his wife coming out to greet him, and walked into the bedroom, only to see Pei Shuying concentrating on the book in her hand.

"So engrossed?"

"Lang Jun is back." Pei Shuying stood up and said with a smile: "Recently, the name of Li Huairen has been spread all over Chang'an, and this was sent by the elder brother."

Li Dewu nodded with a smile, his hands behind his back were shaking... I have had enough these days, and today I have been forced to be unable to hold on, and I still have to go home...

"After the new rain in the empty mountain, the weather is late to autumn. The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring rocks flow up." Pei Shuying said happily: "Of the ten poems, I like this one the most. It is not inferior to everyone in the previous dynasty."

"The most important thing is the spring of the year. It is absolutely better than the smoke and willows in the imperial capital." Pei Xuanji laughed and said: "I like this song the most."

"Brother is here."

"Departure tomorrow." Pei Xuanji's face was full of smiles. He has been transferred to Sifang with his father Pei Shiju these years, and he has never been an official in his late forties. Now he has finally found a county magistrate.

"I wish you all the best, brother."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Dewu was trying to change the subject, but Pei Xuanji turned back, "Speaking of which, my favorite song may not be Shicai's song the most. I don't know who cuts out Xiye. Scissors."

Pei Shuying was surprised, "Isn't that Li Taibai?"

"Li Bai is Li Shan's pseudonym." Pei Xuanji explained: "This man was famous in Chang'an because of the Shandong war. A legacy."

"Li Shan?" Pei Shuying thought for a while, "I seem to have heard of it somewhere?"

Li Dewu on the side was frightened, his face turned slightly pale.

"The temple was abolished the year before last, and Dongshan Temple survived because of the scriptures from the West. Before Dewu took the "Diamond Sutra" for you, it was in Dongshan Temple." Pei Xuanji explained casually, "It is rumored that Li Shan was born in Dongshan Temple, and I don't know true and false."

"A monk?"

"Probably not." Pei Xuanji said with a smile, "I heard someone mention it... By the way, this person was born in Lingnan, such a young hero, has Dewu heard of it in Lingnan?"

Li Dewu tried his best to control his heartbeat, forced a smile and shook his head.

"Speaking of Dongshan Temple..." Pei Xuanji sighed, "Little sister, do you still remember Princess Nanyang?"

"Nanyang is in Dongshan Temple?" Pei Shuying said pleasantly: "I heard that Nanyang has entered Buddhism, but I didn't expect to be in Dongshan Temple!"

The Pei family of Wenxi in Hedong was also a famous and powerful family in the former Sui Dynasty. Pei Shuying was a noble daughter, she was about the same age as Princess Nanyang, and they had a close relationship with each other.

Li Dewu at this moment... If he had a knife in his hand, he would wish to give this brother-in-law a white knife in and a red knife out!

What Nanyang? !

If you meet Nanyang, you may be able to meet Yuwenshi and... Li Dewu doesn't expect Li Shan's life experience to sink forever, but it will never happen now!
Now that he and his wife have children, he will not be abandoned by the Pei family again, but what Li Dewu wants is not just the present, a smooth career is what he really needs.

Seeing her husband's unnatural expression, Pei Shuying paused for a while and asked the nurse to bring the child... Princess Nanyang's ex-husband Yuwenshi and her husband had a deep hatred, so it's better not to mention it.

Holding the child and chatting for a while, seeing off her elder brother, Pei Shuying looked at the book of poems on the table and sighed: "With such a poetic talent, if Dalang has half of them in the future, this life is enough for me."

Li Dewu, who turned his back, was ashamed. Your son probably doesn't have one, but mine already has one... It's just that the enemy is now the enemy.

Seemingly aware of her husband's emotions, Pei Shuying carefully placed the child on the bed, stepped forward and said softly: "It's not a good seal, it's rare to get promoted, sir, why don't you let him out?"

Generally speaking, no matter what yamen, Zhengyin officials are always the ones who can get the most merit. Once they have some political achievements, if they have backgrounds, their promotion speed will not be slow. As Li Dewu is a county lieutenant, it is a bit difficult to get promoted.

Li Dewu shook his head slightly, "Once released, Dalang is still young, I'm afraid that the husband and wife will live in two places, which is not a long-term solution."

"The family is in decline, and if you want to revive the family business, I'm afraid you have to wait for the prince..."

As long as the crown prince Li Jiancheng ascends the throne, Li Dewu, as an old minister of the East Palace, dare not say that he can be promoted to six ranks, but he will be able to make great use of it and revive the family business. It is not an extravagant hope to be promoted... This is what Li Dewu has planned for himself. Road.

Two years ago, the purpose of planning the magistrate of Chang'an County was largely to get out of Chang'an and find a chance to cling to the East Palace. Li Dewu knew that his father-in-law Pei Shiju might invest himself in the Prince Qin's mansion.

But Li Dewu cannot accept such an arrangement, absolutely not!
In fact, even if he wanted to... Li Shan would definitely mess it up!
If it can't be messed up... Li Shan will probably hide his name, try not to affect the course of history, and then send a letter to Prince Li Jiancheng at a critical moment, with a revised version of the Xuanwu Gate Change.

Pei Shuying didn't try to persuade her anymore, "I live in two places... Duke Qiao followed King Qin to fight north and south, Princess Pingyang has been stationed in Jinyang for many years, and now..."

Youyou sighed, and then Pei Shuying continued: "I heard that Princess Pingyang is seriously ill, and medicine and stones are difficult to cure."

Li Dewu's eyes were flickering. Speaking of which, both he and Mrs. Pei returned to Guanzhong in the fourth year of Wude, and he only heard of Princess Pingyang by name, but it was not until he became the county captain of Chang'an that he gradually felt that the princess on horseback was in the court. weight.

To be favored by a saint is just the treatment of an ordinary princess, but to be respected by the crown prince and the King of Qin can be said to be a compatriot of the same mother. Her husband, Chai Shaojue, was made the Duke of Qiao. Famous generals... But these are not the key.

The key is Princess Pingyang herself, and the forces she represents, with tens of thousands of troops under her command.

Although Princess Pingyang led the army to garrison around Jinyang and protect the land of the ancestors of dragons from the beginning of Li Tang's founding of the country, its weight and influence have not faded.

Qin Wang Li Shimin deliberately embraced his son-in-law Chai Shao, and Prince Li Jiancheng even persuaded the sage Li Yuan to transfer Princess Pingyang back to Chang'an... In the army, Princess Pingyang's power and prestige cannot be compared with Li Shimin today, but it is higher than the Prince of the East Palace.

But no one expected that when Princess Pingyang returned to Beijing with an illness, the sage Li Yuan sent an imperial doctor, but half a month later she was terminally ill.

After dinner, Li Dewu sat alone in the side room, thinking quietly.

Yuwen Shiji must know Li Shan's life experience, but judging from his words and deeds today, he has no intention of turning the tables, which is not bad news for him.

But if Li Shan stays in Chang'an for one day, it means that he is always walking on the edge of a cliff. If he can be sent to the south of the Yangtze River and Bashu through the Ministry of Officials as an official... The sage is nearly sixty years old, and the prince should not last too long. It doesn't matter if you can ascend to the throne at that time.

But it has been half a month since the list was released, and I heard that Li Shan has not gone to the Ministry of Officials for the selection test... Li Dewu couldn't help thinking in his heart, does Li Shan still want to be an official?

Or is Li Shan playing other ideas?
Apart from being exposed, what Li Dewu fears the most is that Li Shan is recruited by the prince...Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, and Wei Ting all appreciate Li Shan.

Never, never let Li Shan be recruited by the prince!

Li Dewu slammed down the table suddenly, with a fierce look in his eyes, if you still don't go to the official department for a test, don't blame me for being cruel!
Uh, Li Dewu didn't think about it at all, he was already ruthless enough... Not only Yuwen Shiji, but also Li Shimin, Qin Wangfei, Li Keshi, Li Kai, Ling Jing, Ma Li, etc. Zhou, Su Dingfang, a bunch of people.

Why Li Shan has refused to go to the Ministry of Officials for the selection test, this question is also circling in another person's mind.

The difference is that Li Dewu hoped that Li Shan would pass the selection test of the Ministry of Officials and be sent to the Jiangnan and Bashu areas, but this one hoped that the Ministry of Officials would stop Li Shan from the selection test so that he could not become an official.

This is Du Yan.

Speaking of it, although Du Yan and Du Ruhui had torn faces, the reputation of the Jingzhao Du family has not been affected, and the Yuhuchun property has also been acquired, so it should be satisfied... But soon, Du Yan knew that Du Ruhui was going to the West Market That property was given to Li Shan.

In Du Yan's view, it was left to him by his mother, it was his own... Du Ruhui, a shameless nephew, snatched it away and gave it away!
And Li Shan was even more shameless, and actually accepted it!

"The Yuhuchun Winery was closed for half a month, but now it belongs to Zhili." Feng Lun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, shook his head and said: "The Zhili first wanted to prevent Li Huairen from the imperial examination, and now he wants to stop him from being an official..."

In the small house, there were two or three plates of side dishes on the small table, Feng Lun casually commented, Du Yan opposite was already fumigated, and the two pots of Yuhuchun were already empty.

More than half a month ago, Du Yan secretly found his old friend Feng Lun, which is the reason why Li Shan was not on the list before, and today Du Yan found Feng Lun for Li Shan's possible selection test.

In fact, there is a lot of suspicion in the market about the closure of Yuhuchun. After all, it is a famous wine named by a sage before. Attitude, I am sure that Du Yan has intervened in this matter.

Du Yan obviously got drunk, and said vaguely: "Yuhuchun is nothing more than a trivial matter, and it's just a little punishment. This selection...Brother Deyi needs to..."

Feng Lun said with a smile: "You should try your best. If it weren't for Jiang Guogong, Li Huairen would not be on the list."

Smiling on his face, but cursing in his heart... Feng Lun has already suffered a big loss because of this crap. He originally wanted to gain some benefits from this matter, but he just went to Chengqian Palace to clarify with Fang Xuanling, Looking back, Chen Shuda sent "Spring River Flower and Moonlight Night" to the saint.

It is now widely rumored that Feng Lunde, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is not worthy of the position... Well, in the former Sui Dynasty, Feng Lun was questioned because of his character, and after entering the Tang Dynasty, he was reprimanded by the sage Li Yuan because of his character. Have to stay on your feet.

Well, it was Li Yuan's deliberate intention to be surrounded by veterans from the former court.

Because of this incident, Feng Lun was reprimanded again by the sage Li Yuan in the Liangyi Hall... There was also a reason why Li Yuan was in a bad mood because Princess Pingyang was seriously ill.

Feng Lun had a vague feeling that he might not be able to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials for long. After all, he was just a school inspector... Maybe this was the reason why Li Shan hadn't gone to the Ministry of Officials for the selection test so far.

If it weren't for the fact that Du Yan was Du Ruhui's uncle, Feng Lun wouldn't have let him in tonight... Although Du Yan and Du Ruhui were at odds with each other, after all, the Jingzhao Du family was headed by these two.

Responding casually, Feng Lun was about to find an excuse to drive Du Yan home, but suddenly he heard a name that surprised him.

"Wei Qingsi?"

Du Yan tried his best to open his sleepy eyes, "Yuhuchun..."

"Wei Qingsi was entrusted with the ceremony to hand it over to the Chang'an county government, and seal the Yuhuchun wine shop?"

"Well...Wei Qingsi...Chengsi Shangyong County Duke."

Feng Lun's eyes were deep, staring at Du Yan who was finally drunk. Wei Shikang, Duke of Shangyong, and Du Yan's father were good friends. Du Yan and Wei Shikang's three sons had a close relationship. Du Yan has a deep friendship.

But the problem is that Wei Qingsi is an official of the East Palace, the prince's family order.

But now, in the city of Chang'an, it is clear that King Qin and Dong Gong are fighting for the heir apparent.

What a fool!

But it is a fool that can be used, Feng Lun thought so, first asked his servants to send Du Yan back to the mansion, and then went straight to the home of a colleague in the same workshop.

"Feng Gong..."

Feng Lun looked stern, staring at Fang Xuanling, one of the right-hand men of Qin Wang Li Shimin, who joined the army in the Tiance Mansion's office, "I have to discuss something."
