Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 318 The East Palace

Stepping out of the Taiji Palace, Li Shan was in a good mood, walking with the wind, thinking that fortunately he had reacted that day, otherwise, when Li Jing wiped out Jiangnan, he might be kicked away by Pei Shiju.

Li Shan is very clear that he has some weight in front of Li Yuan now, but at the critical moment, the emperor will only regain the rationality that an emperor should have, and make the choice that best suits the interests of the emperor... Facing a double-faced Hedong Pei Shi, Li Shan's current weight is not enough to fight head-on.

What's more, playing this kind of bureaucratic tricks... How could Li Shan be an opponent of an old bureaucrat like Pei Shiju.

I was thinking about the good location of Guannei Road and Hedong Road in my heart, but just now Li Yuan said Xu Yishang County...Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in my ear.

Li Shan's footsteps stopped, his cheeks moved, he swallowed his saliva, and saluted, "Meet Cui...Cui...Cui Sheren."

Cui Xin, whose face turned black, gritted his teeth, last time he was called Uncle Cui, and now he is turning back to Cui Sheren?
"This is the southern province..." Li Shan was careful, there are still people around you, should I call you Master Taishan?
Can you not be careful?
The article "Ai Lian Shuo" is simply a naked provocation to Cui Xin, a woman-loving madman... Well, Li Shan visited Zhang Wenguan who fell into the water a few days ago, and the latter tactfully reminded him that it is better to avoid his uncle these few days.

And the most important thing is that I will leave Chang'an soon... I will leave after flirting, and I will wait for Cui Xin to find out... Li Shan has a guilty conscience.

"Who is this?" Cui Xin is standing beside an old man with gray hair on the temples. He is tall but has sharp eyes.

"This is Duke Fanyang." Cui Xin pointed out.

"My servant, Li Shan, pays my respects to the Duke of the county."

In the past few days, Li Shan has frequently entered the palace, and Li Shan immediately recognized this, Lu Chisong of the Lu family of Fanyang, who had a good relationship with Li Yuan in the early years, was named Duke of Gu'an County, and retreated back to his hometown, until a few months ago, he was reinstated as Zhongshushe People, recently entered the Duke of Fanyang County... It is a rare favor to add a title to the prestige of the county.

Just last night, Ling Jing also mentioned that the fact that the saint favored Lu Chisong had something to do with Donggong's win over Fan Yang's Lu family... This is also the result of the complex relationship between the royal family and the powerful, who are vigilant and have to rely on each other.

Lu Chisong looked at Li Shan appreciatively, and said with a smile, "It's nothing more than being so handsome, and he is even more talented in poetry."

Li Shan is a little...every time he hears others praise his gifted poetic talent, he always feels a little uncomfortable, feeling like he is mocking him.

"I got a letter from Erlang in March. The song "Moonlight Night on the Spring River" is amazing, and "Ai Lian Shuo" a few days ago is refreshing."

"Thank you for the compliment, Duke." Li Shan looked a little shy, he knew that the Erlang mentioned by the other party was referring to Lu Chengji.

"Such a talent can be called eight fights."

Now Li Shan really couldn't take it anymore... Although he felt that Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, He Zhizhang, and Meng Jiao together definitely surpassed Ba Dou.

Lu Chisong looked at Cui Xin with a smile: "What a good eye."

Cui Xin's face, which had just recovered, turned dark again... Lu Chisong's fourth son, Lu Chengye, was ranked very high in the list he and his wife made at the very beginning.

The Cui family in Qinghe had marriages within the five surnames and seven families. Apart from the Li family in Longxi, the Lu family in Fanyang had the most frequent marriages. Cui Xin's deceased wife was from the Lu family in Fanyang... When Lu Chisong said this, it was basically locked. this road.

Although it was expected, Cui Xin was still quite upset, and glared at Li Shan...you little bastard!
When Lu Chisong left, Cui Xin dragged Li Shan to the corner and asked, "What on earth do you want to do?!"

Li Shan hesitated for a while, then cupped his hands and said: "The so-called favorite lotus is really a coincidence...but the article "Ai Lian Shuo" was written on the way to the north the year before last."

"Of course I know it's a coincidence!" Cui Xin waved his hands angrily, "But this matter... I remember that Cui Hao doesn't get along with you... Forget it, Cui Hao is easy to talk about, but Cui Bo..."

Li Shan remained silent. Judging from the current situation, as soon as "Ai Lian Shuo" came out, he had almost embraced Miss Cui in his arms. The sage Li Yuan was also happy to see this scene. Rebuking everyone in front of Qinghe and beheading Cui Bo, the Cui clan probably didn't want to see this scene.

At this moment, Cui Xin was impassive, and chattered over and over for a while, then glanced at Li Shan who was standing there quietly, "Luo Yi is used to cunning, so he needs to be careful."

"Thank you Uncle Cui."

Cui Xin snorted, there is no outsider now, and he has changed from Cui Sheren to Uncle Cui again.

Li Shan smiled and said: "Mr. Ling has reminded me again and again, tell my nephew not to provoke the Luo family in Yunyang... but to behave in the world, you should do something."

"Of course, since I was invited to visit the garden, it is inevitable that I will have a rift with the Luo family."

After hearing these few words, Cui Xin's cheeks twitched, but he also knew that the young man in front of him couldn't be fooled by those tricks... Luo Yang had intentions, and if Li Shan didn't back down, there would inevitably be a conflict.

However, Cui Xin did not expect that Li Shan's violent outbursts after repeated retreats would be so sharp... But when he turned his head and thought about it, this was in line with Li Shan's behavior before and after he killed Cui Bo to quell the civil rebellion.

"In a few days, there are still a few poems that I want to ask my uncle to appreciate."

Before leaving, Li Shan thought about it and deliberately left a word... It should not be long before Cui Xin will know that he has accidentally let go.

Cui Xin looked at Li Shan's leaving back, frowned, he was a little worried...it's been several days, Luo Yi's side has been doing nothing, you know Luo Yi has never lost such a big face since he entered Beijing.

Uh, a person like Luo Yi, who is conceited of his strength and accustomed to cunning, is domineering to this point, has no room for sand in his eyes, how can he not retaliate... In fact, he has a plan long ago.

East Palace, Xiande Palace.

Prince Li Jiancheng, who was sitting on the main seat, looked solemn and listened intently to the conversations of several confidantes and aides... Nothing involved in government affairs, just talking about history, using the past to describe the present.

But this history is a bit close.

Wei Zhengyang said: "In the first year of Emperor Kaihuang, King Fangling was named the crown prince. He is naturally studious, good at Ci Fu, magnanimous and gentle. Fu Jun supervised the country with means. He has been in the East Palace for [-] years, but was abandoned by Emperor Wen. Your Highness thinks, Why did King Fangling end up like this?"

Li Jiancheng said solemnly: "I have heard Master Li say that Wang Fangling's utensils are not top-grade, and his nature is ordinary, but if he is guided by a wise person, he will be able to inherit the imperial career."

The master Li in this sentence refers to Li Gang who has already retired. The prince killer was the first to kill the former Sui prince Yang Yong.

"That's right, Li Wenji was the only one who heard him here that day." Wei Zheng nodded and said, "Although the rest of them are good at literature and fu, their conduct is despicable, which made Fangling King lustful and extravagant."

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Jiancheng's mouth, he nodded and said: "What you said is very true, today's Xiande Hall is full of virtuous people."

Li Jiancheng is relatively restrained in this regard, and Li Yuan will not talk about it. People who are almost 60 years old still work hard every night. In the past few years, there have been new babies in the palace almost every two months.

And Li Shimin's aspect is not much better. Except for the concubine in the palace of Prince Qin, there are as many as six concubines who are officially canonized, and they have already surpassed the rule of prince.

Wei Zheng looked solemn, and added: "A good fisherman, a lover of extravagance, is not the image of a wise king, but the most important thing is that no one persuaded King Fangling to overstep. The so-called Yin Jian is not far away. .”

Li Jiancheng nodded again and again. He could understand Wei Zheng's euphemistic admonition. The former Sui prince Yang Yong accepted the worship of hundreds of officials because of exceeding the etiquette system, which aroused his father's displeasure.
