Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Li Shan returned to Beijing at the end of August, and only started his activities in mid-September. He visited many courtiers successively. In any case, when he was trapped in Guji Town, Chang'an put a lot of pressure on the acting governor. After making a trip in person, Li Shan always came to pay his respects.

At the beginning, Li Shan's list was not very long, after all, the number of famous posts sent was not particularly large.

But soon Li Shan was reminded by Yuwen Shiji that he was thinking badly, and there were not so many famous posts. That was because many people had extraordinary identities. Tie... Waiting for young Li Shan to come and thank you.

Next, there is a long list... For example, Tang Jian, the servant of the Huangmen, Ju Guogong, who is still high-ranking, and there are a few people who beat Wang Renyou with Zhang Wenguan at that time.

The most important thing is that there are still many people with sensitive identities, so Li Shan can only look bitterly, visit Du Ruhui today, visit Wang Gui tomorrow, visit Changsun Wuji on the third day, and visit Wei Ting on the fourth day... Anyway, the round Come on.

In mid-October, which has been busy, Li Shancai breathed a sigh of relief. Except for two key figures, everyone else has run away... One is Prince Li Jiancheng, and the other is Qin Wang Li Shimin.

It is undeniable that it was Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin who prompted Li Jing to send troops ahead of time... Of course, it was Princess Pingyang who pushed behind it.

However, Li Shan suspects that this method...Princess Pingyang does not seem to be good at it, and it is probably Chai Shao's idea.

On October [-]th, the sage Li Yuan issued an edict to act as Governor Shi Handan County King Li Shan to defeat the Turks.

At the same time, the competition for acting governor Shi finally came to an end. Li Yuan appointed Qin Wutong, the county magistrate of Sima Licheng in Shuozhou, but the East Palace and Prince Qin's Mansion failed to take advantage of it.

Although Qin Wutong was under Li Shimin's command, he was relatively independent. When Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang crossed the river, Li Shimin led his troops across the Yellow River from Longmen and stationed troops at Baibi, while Qin Wutong led a partial division to attack Puzhou. Later, he followed Li Yuan to attack Xia County, which cannot be regarded as Li Shimin's direct lineage.

Not to mention that Li Yuan hand-picked Qin Wutong as Shuozhou Sima, and now he is hand-picked as acting Governor Shi, this very cautious official is unlikely to favor any side.

Outside the Suzaku gate, Li Shan got off his horse and chatted with the guards. These are all under the direct command of Princess Pingyang, and they are old people transferred from Jinyang. Some of them even followed Li Shan as personal guards Daizhou.

"Brother Wei."

Wei Ting, who was in a hurry, looked at Li Shan in surprise, "Hui Ren came so early today... oh, Huai Ren is taking up his new post today."

"That's right. Although I have no job, I'm here to put on a show." Li Shan asked curiously, "Brother Wei, this is..."

"Isn't it for acting as governor!" Wei Ting glared at Li Shan, "Yesterday the prince was quite displeased."

"If you don't choose him, who will you choose?" Li Shan spread his hands, "Brother Wu An?"

"Brother Wanche?"

"Isn't Neng Yiyang County Duke!"

Wei Ting didn't say anything, thinking that the crown prince hoped to win over Qin Wutong...the hope was not great.

"The prince is really angry?"

"Forget it, Wei Xuancheng persuaded him." Wei Ting waved his hand, "Hui Ren is in the Daizhou Army...he has a lot of tricks."

Li Shan sighed, "That's why I abandoned them all and returned to court alone."

"By the way, the crown prince has mentioned several times that a banquet will be held in the East Palace." Wei Ting said casually, "Just a few days, Huai Ren is waiting for some news."

Li Shan answered with a crooked mouth, he couldn't refuse... But it's not a bad thing, after going to the East Palace, logically speaking, he can openly go to Chengqian Palace, Li Shimin is still waiting.

During these days, Li Shan often asked Ling Jing... His Highness intends to summon him?
But every time Ling Jing stared at Li Shan with complicated and unspeakable eyes, and then shook his head slightly.

Of course Li Shan knew what Li Shimin was thinking...but he couldn't keep going on, he still had to meet.

Walking north along Chengtianmen Street for a short distance, you will arrive at Sinong Temple, and across the road is Taichang Temple. Last year, Li Shan went there often, and the Taichang Medical Office is under Taichang Temple.

Sinong Temple has a relatively low status among the Nine Temples and Five Academies, but it has a large office area in the imperial city. Uh, of course, it is largely because other institutions have other office locations in Chang'an, such as Taipu Temple. You can't raise horses in the imperial city.

But Sinong Temple is different. The granary under management and the manor in charge are basically in other places.

Standing at the door and taking a few glances, further ahead is Zhongshu Sheng... In other words, the father-in-law is next door, and Li Shan pouted quietly before stepping over the threshold.

"Your Majesty pays homage to Your Highness." A middle-aged official with a face full of smiles approached him, his fat face seemed to be full of oil, "His Highness Jiuzu is very handsome. When we met today, he is indeed handsome and handsome!"

There was also a gentle smile on Li Shan's face, "Don't dare, dare not, is Brother Yuan Kai?"

"How dare I be an official!" Zhao Yuankai said sternly: "In terms of position, His Highness is Zhengqing, and my subordinate is Shaoqing. In terms of rank, His Highness canonize the county king, which is even more incomparable."

Li Shan wanted to complain a few words, didn't you fall in love with a county prince in the former Sui Dynasty?

The two chatted and laughed happily as they walked in, Zhao Yuankai led the way graciously, and he didn't stop talking, introducing the various prison orders.

Li Shan is just looking at the flowers, but he is not interested in these things. The so-called farming and farming...in fact, the focus is not on agriculture itself at all.

As for this Si Nong Temple, Li Shan is more interested in Zhao Yuankai... Some time ago he went to hang out with Cui's mansion again, and it happened that Zhang Wenguan was also there, and Li Shan heard a lot about Zhao Yuankai.

In fact, both Zhao Yuankai and Cui Xin were related by marriage. His niece married a cousin of Zhang Wenguan, and at the same time he married the first daughter of Qinghe Cui's eldest family, who was Cui Xin's cousin... In other words, the same Li Shan, who was engaged to Cui Shiniang, was a generation below Zhao Yuankai.

But Cui Xin and his wife both despise Zhao Yuankai's behavior, in a word, this person is not righteous.

In Li Shan's mind, it can almost be translated as Zhao Yuankai is a realist... This seems to be similar to himself.

Mrs. Zhang also specifically mentioned an old incident about Zhao Yuankai. In the second year of Wude, when Zhao Yuankai entered Tang Dynasty, he was robbed by bandits on the way.

There are very few people who know the inside story of this matter, but it is not a secret among the aristocratic families. This is the main reason why Zhao Yuankai has not been able to climb up the ranks these years, and it is difficult to cling to nobles... This guy has a bad reputation, and his conduct is not good.

"Sit down." Li Shan knelt down on the bank and said with a smile, "I've gotten used to the bar stool all these years."

Zhao Yuankai said with a smile: "It is true that Daidi often uses wooden stools, and I will let someone replace them tomorrow."

"Don't bother." Li Shan said casually: "Although the former Liu Gong did his duty, he is old and hasn't been out of Beijing for three years."

"Yes." Zhao Yuankai still smiled.

"I'm going to set off in two days to inspect the granaries in Guannei Road."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yuankai still smiled, but the smile seemed a little stiff.
