Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

After the early court, Cui Xin seemed a little restless in Zhongshu Province. Wen Yanbo, Yu Wenshi and others thought that Cui Xin was worried about Li Shan going north to pursue him, so they comforted him a few words, but the effect was not great.

After staying up until noon, Cui Xin left the imperial city in a hurry and went straight home, but to his surprise, there was no letter.

"Mr. Lang, I heard that the King of Handan defeated the Turks?" Mrs. Zhang was cautious. A few days ago, she intended to let her daughter join her, but her nephew Zhang Wenguan sternly resisted regardless of her seniority, and her husband Cui Xin was also quite displeased.

"Hmm." Cui Xin responded indiscriminately, thinking that the letter from Princess Pingyang might not be written by Huairen himself, but he was really worried, and after thinking about it, he turned his head and said, "Didn't Zhigui come?"

Logically speaking, after the news spread, his nephew Zhang Wenguan should have arrived long ago.

"Zhigui went to Sun Moon Lake." Zhang tsk said: "Such a young man, breaking the Turkic..."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhang suddenly shut up... At the beginning of the year, the words of Queen Qi Yang's words are still vivid in my memory. Now it seems that they are more and more similar. Before, I was just guarding the Yanmen Pass, but this time it was broken outside the Yanmen Pass. Turks.

Young, broken-hearted... people can't help but think about it.

Cui Xin walked around on the spot for a few times, but still suppressed his temper, and muttered to himself: "Since he can still lead the troops to the north, there shouldn't be any injuries... Isn't he just planning and making plans in the several battles in Shandong?"

The daughter has already gone to Sun Moon Lake to take care of Mrs. Zhu day and night for a long time. After the news spread, many children of the aristocratic family praised Cui Shiniang, but Cui Xin was thinking, that guy likes to take the edge of the sword and take risks...

Although many colleagues comforted him, Cui Xin couldn't forget that snowy night last year, when Li Shan captured Yu Shexi alive in the midst of thousands of troops.

Zhang Wenguan was not the first to arrive at Li’s house in Sun Moon Lake. When he arrived, there were already seven or eight horses at the gate. Li Zhaode arrived one after another.

"Not here?" Zhang Wenguan was a little surprised, "My aunt seldom goes out, is she visiting Aunt Changsun?"

Li Zhaode shook his head, "Someone went to look for the fourth uncle first, and met the fourth aunt."

More than half an hour later, a group of people boarded Dongshan Temple under the guesswork of the villagers. In the side hall, Mrs. Zhu and Cui Shiniang both bowed down in front of the Buddha, whispering in their mouths.

The little novice at the side whispered: "Miss Zhu and Miss Cui have moved to the temple five days ago, offering incense and praying for Mr. Li Lang every day."

"Aunt!" Li Zhaode broke in and said loudly, "Brother Huai broke the Turks!"

Cui Shiniang straightened up abruptly, looked back, her lips trembled, but she couldn't speak. Although she was determined to return to Hou Jun, and even Sun and Moon took care of the bedridden Zhu to show her determination, she didn't know that the situation was over. Dangerous, where do not know the hope of surviving illusory.

I don't expect any further meritorious service, I only hope that my lover can return safely.

Hearing the news suddenly, Cui Shiniang was overjoyed and felt that Venus was crumbling. If it wasn't for Mrs. Zhu's support, she almost fell down.

Everyone was in a hurry, some people went to call for a doctor, some people went to scoop water, it was Zhu who calmed down and pinched the crowd, and Cui Shiniang woke up after a long time.

Outside the gate of the hall, a figure stared intently for a while before walking away, bypassing the main hall, strolling along a deep path, and stopped outside a small courtyard.

It has been several years, and Yuwen Shiji no longer expects to be reunited with his ex-wife, but only hopes to see each other again. After waiting for a while, he still got the answer of refusal. He was silent for a while and whispered a few words before turning and leaving.

Princess Nanyang, dressed in plain clothes, listened to the maid's narration, and she couldn't help showing joy after all these years of sinking, "It's such a desperate situation, and it's still alive... Miss Zhu is really lucky!"

In the beginning, he was just Yuwen Shi and one person, and he once abandoned his wife and son, and he regarded Li Shan as a symbol, and then gradually, gradually, after Princess Nanyang knew the inside story, she also regarded Li Shan as a shadow analogous to Zen Master Yuwen .

The difference is that Yuwen Shiji hopes to see Li Shan climb higher and higher, with all the power and fame, and even hopes that one day he can witness the fate of Pei Shiju and Li Dewu with his own eyes... Maybe that is also the fate he hopes for himself.

But unlike Princess Nanyang, who had a lot of contacts with the Zhu family, her first reaction was not to defeat the Turks, but to survive.

When it was dusk, Cui Xin, who heard that his daughter had fainted, couldn't hold back anymore, and rushed to Dongshan Temple with his wife, Mrs. Zhang, and specially invited a famous doctor from the Imperial Hospital.

Zhang Wenguan, Li Zhaode and others who were scolded by Cui Xin returned to the city in disgrace. Li Zhaode went straight to the house of his fourth uncle Li Keshi. Great victory in Guji Town.

But not long after Li Zhaode sat down, he noticed the worry unconsciously on Master Li's face.

The news about the disagreement between Li Shan and Li Jing was still circulating in the upper echelons. Li Keshi and Li Qianyou were not high-ranking officials, but the former had just been summoned by Qin Wang Li Shimin in Tiance Mansion, and he had a faint sense of something.

Inside Tiance Mansion, Li Shimin looked at Ling Jing with a smile, "Mr. Ling, it seems that Master Hakka doesn't know?"

Ling Jingshuo nodded first, then shook his head, "We don't know yet, but Li Demou should have guessed something."

Li Shimin thought for a while and said with a smile: "Demou and Huairen are close friends, and they are both in Daizhou, it is indeed possible."

Even if someone guessed about this kind of secret, Li Shan would never admit it, and it was the same for Li Keshi, but for Li Kai... Li Shan couldn't keep it a secret.

Du Ruhui was impatient with these details, and asked directly: "Does Huairen intend to act as the governor of the state?"

Ling Jing smiled wryly: "If Huairen has a letter, he must present it to His Highness first."

"Such a meritorious service..." Changsun Wuji tentatively said, "Is it understandable that Changshi Jin will act as the governor of the prefecture?"

Li Shimin shook his head and said: "This battle was won. First, Li Yaoshi used troops, and second, he fought to the death in Huairen, and happened to shoot down the Khan flag."

Ling Jing also agreed: "Huairen is good at general planning, decisive and strong, and capable of governing, but he is clumsy in the army. Daizhou is an important town, and Huairen is not yet able to govern it."

Fang Xuanling sensed something, the key to Ling Jing's words is "clear and firm", it seems that His Highness is very difficult to get along with this.

Li Jiancheng and Xi Ni's technique was quite clumsy, and he hoped that Li Shan could swallow his anger... This shows that he doesn't understand Li Shan at all.

As for Li Shimin's method...well, I can't say it is very clever, but he has Ling Jing who can ask, and there is a direct descendant of Li Keshi under his command.

The relationship between Li Shan and the Danyang House of the Li family in Longxi was too close. Li Shimin asked Ling Jing if he could let Master Li play a role in easing the relationship... Ling Jing gave an ambiguous answer.

When Master Li Ke was summoned, he agreed to come down and write a letter to Li Shan... But Ling Jing didn't like it very much. With Li Shan's temper, if he didn't want to fall out with Li Jing, he wouldn't do it so desperately. , didn't even take Li Jing with him when he went to the book to report his meritorious service, obviously he was going to tear his face apart.

Ling Jing chatted casually, wondering if he wanted to go to Princess Pingyang's mansion, and wondered if Huairen was injured... But out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Li Shimin, who was thinking and smiling, and couldn't help but feel excited.

Summoned Li Keshi... just to make friends?

Li Yuan actually found a suitable excuse, and when the time comes, he will recall the injured Li Shan back to the court and give him a reward, so let's talk about it in the future.

But Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin can't do it, they both hope to get along with each other.

From Li Jiancheng's point of view, Li Jing is partial to the East Palace. If he can win over in the future, then Li Shan will most likely have to vote for the Qin Palace.

From Li Shimin's point of view, Li Jing is his old department, and there is no conflict with his own lineage. If he learns from Li Keshi that Li Shan has joined him, then Li Jing must join the Donggong sect.

Therefore, although Li Shimin asked Li Keshi to write a letter, although it was for the sake of making peace, the more important thing was to hint.

This is a warning, if Li Keshi didn't know, he wouldn't say it, if he knew, then Li Shimin hinted it today, don't reveal the secret.
