Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 527
After all, the seventh-rank officials in front of him are of extraordinary background, and they also serve in the Ministry of Education, and they are still under the jurisdiction of Cui Xin. Even if Li Shan is a little impatient, he must be patient. Of course, the more important thing is that he has important matters to come to the Sifang Pavilion.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Li Shan couldn't help thinking in his heart that the eldest and second child killed each other, but the third child died first.

This sentence seems to be referring to Li Yuanji, the king of Qi who committed suicide, but in fact Li Shan is thinking of the aristocratic family.

Since ancient times, the faction that sits on the wall has always been the most annoying. When two forces confront each other, those who stand in a neutral position are often killed first.

But in today's era when aristocratic families are prevalent in the world, even if it is such a major event as seizing the heir, the aristocratic family will, and even will definitely choose to sit on the fence. Can continue to inherit, so that the lintel does not fall, on the other hand lies in the confidence of the family members in their own power.

Therefore, the three officials from the Danyang House of the Li family in Longxi served different masters. Zheng Rentai of the Zheng family in Xingyang firmly chose Li Shimin.

Wen Zhen's father, Wen Yanbo, is highly trusted by His Majesty, because he used to be Luo Yi's old department and was more inclined to the East Palace, and Wen Yanbo's second brother, Wen Daya, is now the secretary of the Daxingtai Engineering Department of Eastern Shaanxi Province, and is Li Shimin's confidant in Luoyang.

From a certain point of view, all of this is a manifestation of the suppression of imperial power by powerful clans. Even the emperor, prince, and king of Qin must admit it, at least by default.

It wasn't until after the disintegration of the clan and the great unified dynasty that there would be no phenomenon similar to the large-scale head and tail ends of the court struggle.

Various thoughts flashed in Li Shan's mind, and suddenly Wen Zhengong saluted respectfully, "I'm going to Daizhou now, and I'll ask the King of Handan to take care of me."

Li Shan asked in astonishment, "What?"

Wen Zhen was a little surprised, and explained: "Father, His Majesty has to summon you to go with the King of Handan in the future to inspect the two states of Daishuo, so as to win the hearts of the people and strengthen the country's prestige."

Li Shan immediately realized that Li Yuan had mentioned before that he would send important ministers to accompany him. Wen Yanbo should be there to witness his sworn brotherhood with Tuli Khan and make an alliance with him.

Wen Yanbo, as the Minister of Zhongshu, his status in the three provinces is second only to the ministers, and the title of Duke of Xihe County is sufficient in terms of status.

Li Shan said with a smile: "The war in the Jianghuai area is about to be decided, and the Duke of Yongkang County will lead troops to go north to take up his post. Maybe someone and Duke Yanbo will go back together."

"Together?" Wen Zhen was a little surprised, "Is King Handan going back to court?"

"Let's call it Huairen from now on." Li Shan cast a helpless look, "Behead Tuli's confidants first, and then humiliate Jieli's only son. Both of them hate it to the bone. It's better to let Yongkang County Duke take the lead."

Wen Zhen laughed again and again, "Then leave it to Huairen."

"Don't worry, there will be no accidents." Li Shan is still sure about this. Under the current situation, neither Tuli nor Xieli will attack.

However, if Li Shan knew more about the history of the early Tang Dynasty, it is estimated that there would be no such guarantee. In the original time and space, Wen Yanbo went out with the army in the eighth year of Wude, and the entire army was wiped out. He was captured alive and exiled to Yinshan. When Li Shimin formed an alliance with Weishui in [-], Wen Yanbo might be treated the same as Su Wu.

We will cooperate with Wen Yanbo later, so naturally we have to chat with his son for a while, but before we can say a few words, there is a noise outside the door, Li Shan looks back, after waiting for so long, this guy finally came back .

"I pay my respects to Duke Rui." Wen Zhen saluted and said with a smile, "The King of Handan has been on the throne for a long time."

Yuan Junzhang laughed out loud. Today he was given the house by Li Yuan, but he still lives in the Sifang Pavilion for the time being. He cupped his hands and said, "I just called on some old friends..."

Before Yuan Junzhang could finish speaking, Li Shan, who suppressed his smile, waved his sleeves and said, "I wonder who Mr. Yuan is visiting?"

Seeing that Wen Zhen had already stepped down, Yuan Junzhang said: "Your Majesty, Taiyuan Mansion, the land of Longxing, is not far from Daizhou and Shuozhou. People from the east of the river."

"My father was an official in the Sui Dynasty. He was the governor of the acting state. He had some friendship with Guan Wang. He just paid a visit to Zhongshuling Yang Gong."

Li Shanyue's face became more and more ugly when he heard it. Besides Yang Gongren, Pei Shiju, and Pei Ji, Yuan Junzhang took his son and ran to more than a dozen mansions in a row. Yun Wanggui, Du Yan of the Jingzhao Du family, Xue Shou of the Xue family of Hedong... and each family gave "souvenir products"!
At the end, Li Shanqing yelled, "Shut up!"

Yuan Junzhang noticed Li Shan's displeasure, and asked confusedly, "Is there something wrong?"

"Isn't it right?" Li Shan waved his long sleeves, "Mr. Yuan is entering Chang'an, do you want to enjoy wealth and honor in peace, do you want to achieve great things?"

"Or desire to die quickly?"

Yuan Xiaozheng on the side took two steps forward, "Master Li, please come in and let the disciple serve tea."

After a while, Li Shan took a sip of tea and put it down. The number of times he tastes tea these days has increased rapidly. There is no way, Mrs. Cui has often asked Mrs. Zhu for advice on how to cook tea in the past two months...so I only took a sip of wine to tell, tea art Too much, the grinding is not fine, the heat is not reached, the spices are too much, and the water quality is not good.

Having already prepared a draft in his heart, Li Shan said directly: "Does Mr. Yuan know his own weight?"

Yuan Junzhang hesitated for a moment, "The old army was in Mayi. Although the army was going to be reorganized, His Majesty sent Qin Wutong into Mayi, but for a while, the roots were still intertwined."

"Master Yuan, do you know that you are visiting the various factions today?"

Yuan Junzhang straightened his face, and after thinking for a while, he said: "It is said that Prime Minister Pei has a good relationship with the East Palace. Wang Shujie from the Wang family in Taiyuan, and Wei Ting from Jingzhao Wei's family are the prince's confidantes."

After a pause, Yuan Junzhang added: "But today I also visited Sima Feng Deyi of Tiance Mansion, Du Yan of Jingzhao Du Clan, and Xue Shou of Hedong Xue Clan."

Li Shan laughed back angrily. The three on one side seemed to have put some thought into it. The other Yang Gongren, Yang Shidao and others had no obvious political stance.

But things didn't work out that way. Secretly, Feng Lun's political stance is hard to say at the moment. As the prime minister and Sima of the Tiance Mansion, he also secretly associates with Du Yan and hooks up with Qi Wang Li Yuanji.

Moreover, Yuan Junzhang has not included Pei Shiju.

These are unspeakable, but what about on the bright side?

Li Shan pointed to the door, "Sifang Pavilion is affiliated to Honglu Temple, but the manager is the General Secretary of Zhongshu Province. Does Mr. Yuan know the origin of Shicai?"

Li Shan said word by word: "The eldest son of Wen Yanbo, the Minister of Zhongshu, Wen Yanbo is the former member of Luo Yi, the king of Yan County, and Wen Yanbo's second brother, Wen Daya, is the confidant of King Qin."

"Yuan Gong thinks, which one is higher than Taiyuan Wen's?"

Yuan Junzhang's complexion changed drastically, and in the blink of an eye, large drops of sweat appeared on his forehead.

What Li Shan said couldn't be more blunt. A prominent family like the Wen family in Taiyuan is qualified to sit on the fence, but you, Yuan Junzhang, are not!
Although one has already entered the army, but still has a place in the local area, and has a role in the army, wandering between the East Palace and Qin Palace, Luo Yi dare not do that!
So stupid... I really want to die quickly!
