Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

715 - A Big Pot

After leaving the Taiji Palace, Li Shan and Su Dingfang discussed in a low voice, and the latter told Li Shan with certainty that he didn't notice any signs from the beginning to the end...and he didn't even fall in love with him!

Li Shan was dubious... I believe it was because Su Dingfang was a famous general in history, but he really didn't know how to be an official, otherwise he wouldn't have waited until Tang Gaozong ascended the throne to be useful.

Suspicion is because Li Yuan's attitude towards Su Dingfang today... is very important.

How much thought did I put into making cotton jackets and making ice to get to this point... You, Su Dingfang, are so simple... Is it true that you didn't fall in love with me?

Su Dingfang stared back at Li Shan's frank words before walking quickly.

"Hey hey!" Li Shan yelled a few words in the back, Si Nongsi and Zuo Wuwei are both on the east side of Chengtianmen Street, and they can still walk together for a while.

It's a pity that Su Dingfang walked quickly and entered the door in a blink of an eye... You are not good at charming, oh, you just understand a little!

Li Shan simply slowed down and walked forward slowly. The road had been cleaned long ago, but there was still snow on the eaves and walls, which looked very interesting.

Before reaching the gate of Sinong Temple, Li Shan's mouth twitched, and he saluted, "Uncle."

Cui Xin stood at the gate of Zhongshu Province, and he didn't know how long he had been waiting.

"A few days ago..."

"Heavy snow blocks the road, making it difficult to travel." Li Shan explained casually: "It will be much more convenient to live in Yanshoufang in the future."

Cui Xin's face darkened, so you want to live in the house in Yanshoufang early?
"There's news from the Li family." Cui Xin said impatiently, "It's scheduled for the fourth day of February."

"Fourth day of February?" Li Shan was taken aback, "Brother Ding Fang?"

"Yeah." Cui Xin nodded, he didn't care about these things, it's just that the road was blocked by heavy snow a few days ago, and it was not an urgent matter, so it was delayed until today... Uh, of course there are other reasons.

"Zhigui sent a box yesterday." Cui Xin said seemingly casually, "Don't make any more horsewhip!"

Li Shan was still thinking, he had agreed with Su Dingfang last night to be the praiser, and he replied casually: "My sister will give you a plum branch with dyed snow, and my nephew will give you two broken poems in return."

"Why is it a broken poem again!" Cui Xin scolded dissatisfiedly, "Come and listen to it."

Li Shan looked a little weird, you wouldn't ask your daughter?
Cui Xin also had no choice, his daughter refused to speak this time... and Li Shan may not have considered the influence of the poems and essays he brought to this era.

Too many poems written by the ancients have been handed down to later generations, but too few can really leave a name... After all, Li Shan is not a history major, nor is he a major in ancient prose. The capital is a masterpiece that lasts through the ages.

With the passage of time, the poems copied by Li Shan almost made him a golden body. In the past few months, after entering Beijing, most of the famous scholars will go to Sun Moon Lake to visit through some channels or even directly. .

Cui Xin is also a literati, and he is also a literati who likes to recite poems. His son-in-law has a new work, and his heart itch last night.

"Meixu is three points less white than snow, but snow is less fragrant than plum."

"Mei Xu is three points inferior to Xue Xue, but Xue is inferior to Mei Yi Duan Xiang." Cui Xin repeated, "It's straightforward..."

Cui Xin stopped talking halfway through, and suddenly remembered that it was his daughter who first gave the plum branch of dyed snow, and Li Shancai gave it back with a broken poem... No wonder his daughter refused to say it.

Using poetry as a metaphor, but whether it is snow or plum branches, it is indeed not easy to spread... My daughter's skin is as fair as jade, and she is learning from her wife recently.

Cui Xin squinted at Li Shan, it was white and fragrant, you have good eyes and a good nose!
Li Shan sensed the unfriendly eyes of his father-in-law, and quickly changed the subject, "Uncle, the crowning ceremony was held on the third day of February, and I planned to invite Brother Fang as the praiser."

Only then did Cui Xin remember that his future son-in-law had mentioned that the coronation ceremony will be held at the beginning of February next year, and now Su Dingfang is going to welcome the bride on the fourth day of February, but it must be too late for the one who is going to Sanyuan, Yongzhou.

Li Shan immediately looked for a candidate in his heart. The praiser should be a little lower than the host, guest, and deputy guest. Basically, he will not really do Li Shan's hair bun. It is best to compare his relationship with himself. close.

It would be appropriate if Zhang Wenguan was a few years older. Li Kaiyuan was in Daizhou, and Li Daoxuan and Li Shimin were too close, and they were still princes.

After counting like this, Li Shan tentatively asked: "How is brother Xiaoqing?"

Cui Xin thought for a while, nodded and said, "As long as you are not afraid of offending others, that's fine."

"Brother Xiaoqing has a good character, and he is the first old friend my nephew made when he first came to Chang'an. He is the most suitable." Li Shan smiled slightly. He was no longer the helpless young man back then. There will be no violent conflicts, and there is no need to worry about His Royal Highness Princess Tong'an.

However, Wang Renbiao's father, Wang Yu, was born in the governor of Suizhou. He fell ill and returned to Beijing to recuperate at the end of last year. It is said that the situation is not very good now.

After a pause, Cui Xin seemed to ask casually: "Who is hosting?"

There is no need to think about Li Dewu, but Li Hun was convicted in the former Sui Dynasty, and the whole family was killed except Li Dewu. Not to mention that Li Shan didn't want to invite him, even if he wanted to invite him, he couldn't find a suitable elder.

Li Shan hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "I intended to invite Prince Zhao Jun, but I will see you in the past two days... this matter will be discussed later."

"What if His Majesty refuses?" Cui Xin kindly instructed, "There must be alternatives."

"Uncle said that my nephew may ask brother Demou's father to host it."

"No, although you have a close friendship with Danyangfang of the Li family in Longxi, Li Keshi is an official of the Tiance Mansion after all." Cui Xin shook his head, "To be elected as an elder who is not involved in the struggle for succession, it is best to have some contact or In-law relationship."

Li Shan was in a bit of a difficult situation. Except for Li Dewu, all the descendants of Duke Shen of the Sui Dynasty were dead, and his in-laws were even scattered. Yuwen Shiji met this standard, but this one was also from King Qin's descendant.

Cui Xin's face turned dark, I didn't say it clearly enough?
Elders, not involved in seizing the throne, have contacts, in-law relationship... Is there anyone more suitable than me?
It's not that Li Shan's brain is bad, it's just that on the one hand, he considered Cui Xin to be the guest of honor, and on the other hand, Su Dingfang's inexplicable promotion to the throne today made him restless, and he didn't think of it for a while.

But soon, Li Shan had no time to think about the reason for Su Dingfang's promotion. At dusk, he had just returned home, before he got off his horse, Xiaoman ran out angrily.

"what happened?"

"Lang Jun!"

As soon as Li Shan entered the door, he saw Zhu and Zhou standing in the yard, "Mother..."

Mrs. Zhu pursed her lips angrily, and Li Shan turned her head to see a tall, vaguely familiar Hu girl looking over in surprise.

"It was sent by Prince Qi's mansion."

"King Qi?" Li Shan blinked, even if he wanted to win me over, he wouldn't send a bearded girl over for no reason, would he?
Li Shan didn't know that a cauldron had already been put on his head.
