Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 354
Ganlu Temple.

The son-in-law fought for the country and made great achievements. He missed the Mid-Autumn Festival and coincided with the victory in Mayi. Li Yuan held a family banquet for the family reunion. Except for a few children and grandchildren who were still unable to walk, almost all of them came.

Although there were various affairs in Liangyi Hall today, the prince was treated coldly, but during the family banquet, he still received Li Yuan's attention. The father and son talked and laughed happily, and Qi Wang Li Yuanji added a few words from time to time.

Li Shimin, who was sitting a little far away, just sat there silently, remembering the words Ling Jing said dumbfounded in the afternoon... Sure enough, as he guessed, that guy was restless anywhere.

However, this time it seems to be forced... Ling Jing also said, in Li Shan's own words, that he was innocently shot by an arrow in the knee.

"Second brother."

Li Shimin raised the wine cup, drank clear water, "Thank you, Third Sister."

In a sense, Princess Pingyang and Li Yuan are very similar. They both hope to maintain the good situation of you, me, and everyone... Seeing Li Shimin's cold reception, Princess Pingyang came over to say hello.

Li Shimin smiled and talked to Princess Pingyang, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Chai Shao, who was being flattered by the crown prince and King Qi... The battle in Fangzhou made Chai Shao famous, and he was regarded as a famous general who could stand on his own .

But Li Shimin knew very well in his heart that if there were no accidents, Chai Shao would never have the chance to raise troops to fight again.

The wife is in charge of the imperial army, and the husband is in charge of the army, not to mention Li Yuan, even Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin can't tolerate it.

Li Jiancheng wins over Chai Shao in such a way that his goal is actually Princess Pingyang.

Although there was no drink, the atmosphere of the family banquet was good. Li Yuan was smiling from the beginning to the end. Until the end of the banquet, Princess Pingyang stayed behind and suddenly mentioned Li Shan.

"What?" Li Yuan frowned slightly, and then suddenly relaxed, "Go to Mayi after the war?"

"Well, arrive in Mayi before the evening of the next day." Princess Pingyang said hesitantly, "Liu Shirang's memorial service is in progress... Huairen wrote a letter and came back immediately, and it happened that Su Dingfang returned to Beijing..."

Li Yuan pondered for a while, then laughed and said: "Liu Shirang wants to give way, but Huairen wants to refuse, it's interesting!"

"Huiren seems gentle, but he is really arrogant." Princess Pingyang laughed, "I just don't know why he didn't refuse on the spot?"

"You have also been stationed in Hedong for a long time in Pingyang. Don't you know that Liu Shirang is arrogant?" Li Yuan could see through it at a glance. Most likely, Li Shan didn't want to have a dispute with Liu Shirang.

Li Yuan put Li Shan in Dai County because he wanted to coat him with a layer of gold, and Liu Shirang's move was to take advantage of Li Shan's way...to seek to replace the governor of the state.

It sounds a bit unbelievable, but Liu Shirang was expelled from office before, to a large extent because he had no support from the court, and now that the wind is rising, he doesn't want to get involved... Li Shan, who is regarded by Li Yuan as his son and nephew, is just the right chess piece.

Li Yuan snorted when he thought of this, he didn't care about the small thoughts of his subordinates, but he didn't like this method very much.

However, when Li Shan wrote back, he deliberately rejected it, but Li Yuan greatly appreciated it, "Huiren uses lotus as a metaphor for himself, and he is worthy of a gentleman."

"It is mentioned in the letter in Su Ding dialect that I love meritorious service and wealth, but it is a proper way to get it."

"Hahaha!" Li Yuan laughed loudly and said, "It's spring in Yuhu, so I know that I love Aduwu."

Princess Pingyang also smiled, "Father, is this the way to deal with this matter?"

"Well, Huairen has a way." Li Yuan nodded, "Tell him, I will let you forward the direct mail in the future."

"Yes." Princess Pingyang was about to get up, and suddenly said with a smile: "Father knows, my daughter sent ten personal guards to protect her, and one of the messengers this time is my daughter's personal guards."

"Father, do you know how the county people view Huairen?"

"tell me the story"

"Everyone in the county says that they have never seen such parents in this life."

Li Yuanda was curious. He had only been in office for a month, and it took more than ten days to assume office. How could he have such a reputation?

"Li Gaoqian went out of Yanmen with his husband, and Huairen sent his guards to harvest the autumn harvest for the villagers, and even did it himself."

Hearing what his daughter said, Li Yuan was very surprised, and after pondering for a long time, he only said: "You are worthy of the name of Huairen."

This sentence, of course, is not demeaning.

However, it is not a compliment.

Even if the high-ranking people in this era are worried about the people, they may borrow people from aristocratic families, or they may find a way from Li Gaoqian, but they will never do it by themselves like Li Shan, and lose their dignity.

Of course, Li Shan is different, not only because the traveler has different views from them, but more importantly, he has been hungry.

With Li Yuan's permission, Princess Pingyang began to gradually reveal the truth about Mayi's first battle. At the same time, Su Dingfang and Ling Jing also secretly contributed to the flames, and also invited Wang Renbiao, Li Kai, and Zhang Wenguan, who had the closest relationship with Li Shan, to help.

Soon, the news spread among Chang'an Chaozhong.

At the entrance of Dongshan Restaurant, a middle-aged man with a long beard dismounted from his horse, stepped inside, listened attentively to the discussions among the audience, and was quite surprised.

Not long after, the waiter led the way, the middle-aged man went up to the second floor, opened a door to enter, bowed and saluted, "Brother."

"Seventh brother is here." Zhongshu Ling Yang Gongren said with a smile: "It's rare to go back to Beijing, and I'm leaving today. I wanted to hold a banquet in the mansion, but Da Lang suggested that the restaurant here has exquisite dishes. Please have a taste."

Yang Siyi on the side saluted with a smile, "Dongshan Restaurant has become famous in the past two years, Qishu has been in Lingzhou for a long time, today will be a real treat."

This middle-aged man is Yang Shidao, the youngest son of former Sui Guan Wang Yang Xiong, who married Princess Guiyang, and is now the governor of Lingzhou.

Not long after, the banquet was served. Yang Shidao was born in a wealthy family. He was loved by his father and brother since he was a child. He is good at eating and drinking.

Yang Gongren laughed and said: "Although it is delicious, the price is prohibitive. If it weren't for Da Lang, I would be reluctant to bear it for my brother."

"Does Dalang have a way of making money?" Yang Shidao asked curiously.

"No, no." Yang Siyi shook his head, "This is the property of Li Huairen in Dongshan, my nephew is friendly with him, and I only sell it at half price."

Yang Shidao had an elegant demeanor, but he ate quickly, and said casually: "I just heard this person's name downstairs..."

Yang Siyi immediately recounted the news of the past two days, and said with emotion: "Mr. Liu is really benevolent in giving credit to others for the sake of wounded soldiers, but Huairen has made him famous, and he has the style of a gentleman."

This is Li Shan's little calculation... I really don't want this credit, and I can't take it, otherwise I will be caught between Li Gaoqian and Liu Shirang, and maybe I will get into trouble with Li Shenfu, the governor of Bingzhou.

What Li Gaoqian wanted was Li Shan's position, but Liu Shirang was different... what he wanted was the title and the head of the soon-to-be-restored Daizhou Governor's Mansion.

Therefore, Li Shan secretly pushed the merits and made Liu Shirang famous publicly... Anyway, this is a good thing, you Liu Shirang can't say that I did something wrong, can you?
As for whether you, Liu Shirang, can succeed in acting as the governor of the state... that depends on God's will.

In the past two days, the news spread, and everyone praised Liu Shirang for his benevolence and Li Huairen for his righteousness.

Although Yang Siyi is a child of a family, he has not yet become an official, so he cannot see these things, but Yang Gongren can perceive the inside story.

Yang Shidao didn't know the inside story, but he glanced at Yang Gongren's face, and asked tentatively: "Ma Yi has won a great victory, will Liu Shirang be rehabilitated?"

Yang Gongren snorted, and wrote lightly: "Ma Yi is a great victory, Liu Shirang made the first contribution, and the saint intends to be named the county duke."

"County Duke..." Yang Shidao said with a smile, "That's good."

Yang Siyi could not understand what he heard, but he could vaguely sense that neither his father nor his uncle had a good impression of Liu Shirang.

Of course, Jue Lu Chisong of the Lu family in Fanyang was named the Duke of Fanyang, Zheng Shanguo of the Zheng family of Xingyang was named the Duke of Xingyang, and the Yang family of Hongnong had many high-ranking officials, but the Duke of Hongnong was taken by Liu Shirang.

Because of this, plus Liu Shirang's arrogance and domineering, Yang Gongren and Yang Shidao have long disliked this guy.
