Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 669 Wei Zheng’s Visit

Zhongshu Sheren?

Wei Zheng understood immediately, but in the letter he just received today, his colleague Wang Gui really didn't mention this matter.

Enduring or not, Wei Zheng asked with a smile, "Are you Cui Sheren, the Marquis of Qinghe County?"

There are not many people who can hold back Li Shan, but Cui Xin, Marquis of Qinghe County, who was ordered to go to Daizhou to read out the edict of reward, must have this qualification.

And Cui Xin and Danyang Fang are related by marriage, and they have known Li Jing well in the early years, plus Li Zhaode, Danyang Fang's younger brother, Li Jing can also embarrass himself to come to Xiashi.

Li Shan thought in his heart that his conditions were not harsh, but his attitude towards Li Jing...maybe a bit harsh in the eyes of Zhang Gongjin and Wei Zheng.

But don't be harsh, who is he going to vent the anger in his chest?
Knowing that Cui Xin was going to Daizhou as an envoy, Wei Zheng was completely relieved, thinking that he didn't know who came up with the idea... As Li Shan's elder and Li Jing's in-laws, he really is the most suitable candidate.

Wei Zheng suspected that His Majesty might have chosen it himself... His Majesty is the best at this kind of peaceful method.

Once his worries were gone, Wei Zheng relaxed, waving his cattail fan and chatting nonsense with Li Shan. Pressure, if it weren't for this, I would have died in battle outside Guji Town that day.

Based on this, although Li Shan didn't like this guy, he couldn't drive him out.

After returning to Dai County, Li Shan has heard countless versions from countless people. What is certain is that Li Jing did deliberately delay the timing of sending troops. After all, Li Yuan promised him the right to dispose of it with full power, but...Li Shan can't think about it. Very emotional.

In addition to Li Keshi, Huo Guogong Chai Shao, Zhongshu servant Yu Wenshiji, and Huangmen servant Tang Jian wrote letters for various reasons. The prince, Qin Wang's confidant Zheng Shanguo, and Fang Xuanling also wrote letters. All forces are putting pressure on Li Jing.

What's even more unfortunate is that Li Jing, who just arrived, thought he was in control of the Daizhou Army, but he didn't think about the consequences if he couldn't hold on... The anger of the generals and the school almost drove Li Jing to a dead end, and it was spread throughout the Yongkang County. Rumors about Duke Leiyuan.

In a word, even Zhang Gongjin secretly suggested to send troops as soon as possible at that time...the pressure was really unbearable.

After all, at that time, there was actually no risk in sending troops.

The arrival of Prince Xima Weizheng and the new Zuowuwei General Xue Wanjun was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

While babbling endlessly, Wei Zheng suddenly asked, "When is Huairen planning to leave for Beijing?"

"Oh?" Li Shan glanced over, "Li Yaoshi was a famous general at the time, but he was so narrow-minded?"

"If that's the case, Gu really dare not go back to court!"

Li Shan said in a sarcastic tone: "Zhang Wu'an led the army away, Brother Wan Che reprimanded him face to face, if in the future he fights alone and dies without support, wouldn't it be the sin of being alone?"

Wei Zheng didn't seem to hear it. He had heard enough of similar things. These days, every time he talked, the other party would change the topic from time to time, with a strange ambiguity, and pointed the finger at Li Jing.

"In a few days, I'm going to return to Beijing." Wei Zheng explained angrily, "Do you want to set off together?"

"Forget it." Li Shan coughed twice, "I am about to step down as Acting Governor Shi, and I will live in Chang'an in the future, and I am afraid that the crown prince will not be needed."

The meaning is obvious, I will definitely be left idle after returning to the court, is it possible that I can still enter the three provinces?

At that time, I was useless in the battle for the crown prince.

After thinking about it, Li Shan added: "Let's wait until the crown prince ascends the throne."

Wei Zheng nodded with a smile, and said softly: "Your Majesty is the best in the world, Huairen will be a pillar in the future."

In Wei Zheng's view, although King Qin is still powerful, the East Palace is not in danger of being overthrown. The key lies in the rise of Li Jing and Li Shan, who flattened the Jianghuai River in the south and defeated the Turks in the north, which made King Qin useless... From this point of view, both Li Jing and Li Shan have contributed to the East Palace.

If the situation continues like this, the crown prince's succession is almost a certainty. If the King of Qin has any plans, he can only mutiny. Difficult.

What's more, although His Majesty is magnanimous to King Qin, he is not a mediocre lord. It is impossible not to solve this matter. After his death, the two sons seized the throne and the empire split.

Li Shan caught a glimpse of the smile on Wei Zheng's face and thought to himself that this guy doesn't know what will happen in this life. In his opinion, as long as Li Shimin has the heart, he can calmly organize a mutiny or palace change. The key to the problem is It is difficult to control the scale, and Li Shimin doesn't want to bear the infamy.

Wei Zheng's analysis is based on the actual situation, but Li Shan is a time traveler... Although there is an extra Princess Pingyang in this life, isn't there an extra me in the world?
Just now I did say "wait for the crown prince to ascend the throne", but... It seems that Li Shimin did not ascend the throne directly during the Xuanwu Gate in history, but moved into the East Palace first and ascended the throne as the crown prince.

Old Wei, don't blame me, who told you not to understand.

After chatting for a long time, it was already dusk, Wang Junhao and Zhang Zhongjian outside the door were about to help Li Shan into the house, Wei Zheng smiled and asked: "I heard that Zhang Sanlang is going to resign his job and go back to Chang'an with Huairen?"

Zhang Zhongjian answered in a low voice. On the one hand, he now understands that what he said at Yanmen Pass drove Li Jing to a corner. He stayed in Shuozhou, and there is no hope of continuing to climb up. On the other hand, he can be sure. , Handan King has a thicker thigh than Yongkang County Duke.

"The Shuozhou soldier Cao joined the army..."

Li Shan, who was being supported, paused, looked back at Wei Zheng, who had twinkling eyes, and said with a smile, "Brother Xuan Cheng is really dedicated to his duty!"

Wei Zheng smiled indifferently and said, "As soon as Su Dingfang leaves, the governor of Yongkang County will be in charge of the Daizhou Army, Zhang Sanlang and He Liuliu will be in Beijing, and the Shuozhou cavalry..."

Seeing Li Shan's sneering expression, Wei Zheng said directly: "The prince has nothing to ask for."

Li Shan was stunned, and immediately realized that in Daidi, the Eastern Palace and Qin Wangfu are two forces to check and balance. Relatively speaking, the upper-level Eastern Palace has the upper hand, and the Tiance Palace in the army has the upper hand.

The East Palace has nothing to ask for, which means that these important positions cannot be snatched away by the King of Qin.

Li Shan thought for a while, "Once he leaves office, Daizhou will have its own manager."

"I'm afraid it will be another battle." Wei Zheng sighed, "The Daizhou Army was built by Huairen alone, if Huairen recommends it, everyone will be convinced."

Li Shan's sigh was heavier than Wei Zheng's, and he said seriously: "Brother Xuan Cheng, although you and I seldom meet, we are indeed friends."

"Why did brother Xuan Cheng put my younger brother in a desperate situation today?"
