Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 721 Candidates

Starry night lights, Li Shan was woken up early, complaining in his mouth. In this life, there is no cell phone ringtone to kill his life, but he still has to get up in the middle of the night. What a short life.

This was the last court meeting in the seventh year of Wude, Li Shan wanted to live in Yanshou Fang yesterday, although the furniture and yard were not finished yet, but it could barely accommodate people.

It's a pity that because it was the last court meeting this year, a large number of officials from other places came to Beijing to see them, and Daizhou naturally also came. General Xue Wanjun of Zuo Wuwei wanted to be a peacemaker to resolve the enmity between Li Shan and Duan Zhixuan.

Li Shan has no interest in this, and he doesn't want to meet Duan Zhixuan, if there is a trouble at that time... I have made up my mind to cultivate my life and choose in the near future, and I will never cause trouble!
It has been almost two months, Li Shan is going to show Ling Jing that he is really not a troublemaker!
Li Shan yawned and got into the carriage. It was better not to ride a horse at night. If he fell down, it was not a joke. Dozens of guards led the horses and held lanterns to protect him.

After entering the city, Li Shan held a lantern and blended into the stream of people like a fire dragon, greeting people from time to time.

"Huai Ren."

"Brother Daoxuan." Li Shan stood in the corner with Li Daoxuan, who was closest to him, and whispered, "Isn't it really the King of Xiangyi County?"

"Is it his turn?" Li Daoxuan sneered.

These days, the matter of preparing troops in the Guannei Road is basically a foregone conclusion. Although Li Shimin has made up his mind to stand on the sidelines, he still has to take action. It is said that the King of Qin has successively recommended Cao Guogong Li Shiji and Ren Guogong Liu Hongji in the Hall of Liangyi.

Li Shiji can be called a famous general, but he was a bit miserable in several battles in Shandong during the Wude period in the early Tang Dynasty, but this year he has made great achievements in pacifying Jianghuai.

After the defeat of Jieli Khan, General Liu Hongji of You Xiaowei and Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, stationed troops in Longyou Road to prepare for the invasion of Turks.

Although Liu Hongji does not work in Tiance Mansion, he is recognized as a direct descendant of King Qin's Mansion. In Jinyang, it is said that he and King Qin "ride together when they go out, and lie down together when they enter".

And the Donggong side is very thieves, and they didn't compete with Qin Wangfu for the position of Lingzhou Road Marching Chief, but defended Lingzhou Chief Xiangyi County King... No matter in terms of seniority or title, Li Shen Fu may not be qualified to be the head of the Lingzhou Road March, but he is definitely qualified to be a deputy.

But in this way, the royal family and county king will be the deputy general manager... It is unlikely that the general manager will choose Li Shiji and Liu Hongji. In the previous battles of destroying Xiliang, Fulingnan, and Dingjianghuai, the actual leader was Li Jing, but in name However, Li Xiaogong, king of Zhao Jun, was still the leader.

Therefore, on the premise that Li Shenfu is basically certain to be the deputy commander of the Lingzhou Road Marching, the person who is qualified to be the chief general...not to mention other things, must at least be a county prince.

For example, Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhao Jun, Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, Li Huairen, the king of Handan County, and Li Daoxuan, the king of Huaiyang, who is eager to try.

In fact, even Li Shenfu himself may directly serve as the chief general... After all, he served as the head of the Hedong Road Army and merged with the state.

Li Shan glanced at Li Daoxuan, and said in a low voice: "Anyway, I don't want to get involved... Abandoning the governor of Daizhou and returning to the court is to heal his wounds. The outside is healed, but the internal injuries are not healed."

"Bah!" Li Daoxuan spat, looked at Suzaku Gate from a distance, and whispered: "I went to Chengqian Palace yesterday, but the second brother seems to have other intentions."

Of course, there are other intentions. Li Shimin pretended to recommend him, but he was actually waiting for Donggong to fall... Li Shan complained in his heart, while saying: "Brother Daoxuan, it's better not to get involved. Last year in Hedong, you and Xiang Prince Yi is also a little..."

Last year, Li Shan was suddenly attacked by Turks in Mayi. If Li Daoxuan hadn't been allowed to guard Yuyanmen Pass in advance, it is likely that Li Shenfu would have a moth... The two had a big fight, and finally Li Shenfu returned to Taiyuan angrily. .

At this time, the Suzaku door opened, and in the loud report from the imperial censor, the last court meeting in the seventh year of Takede kicked off... Compared with the usual court meeting, the procedure was more cumbersome and the scale was larger, but in Li Shan It seems that it is completely for show.

Later generations always regarded whether the emperor went to the court as a sign of diligence, but in fact, the court meeting was the least cost-effective of all links. In the early Tang Dynasty, when dealing with political affairs, there were three provinces. , or in the Linhu Hall... In the Zhenguan period, Li Shimin also built a political affairs hall.

After step-by-step introduction, waiting, going to the hall, and waiting for a series of procedures, Li Shan's face was expressionless, and in fact, he had already lost his mind... What he was thinking about was the matter of the marching officer of Lingzhou Road.

Huaiyang King Li Daoxuan is impossible, on the one hand because Li Shimin has already made a decision, on the other hand Li Daoxuan and Li Shenfu had some festivals last year.

For the same reason, it is impossible for Li Shan... Li Shenfu was driven to Lingzhou. Others may not know it, but he himself knows it, and it is largely because of Li Shan... Although it was not Li Shan who drove him away... go.

Not to mention these, just because of Liu Shirang, Li Shenfu will definitely not have a good impression of Li Shan... Liu Shirang defeated the Turks this time, and became the Duke of Yiyang, Li Shenfu's teeth were itchy.

Li Xiaogong, king of Zhao County, is even more impossible. Although it was later proved that he was falsely accused of treason, he once held great power and controlled the area south of the Yellow River except for Daxingtai in Eastern Shaanxi Province. Li Xiaogong is now just a Zongzhengqing. Sorry to hold grudges, really rebellious... No one can afford this blame.

Li Shan ruled them out one by one in his mind, King Zhao Jun couldn't do it, King Huaiyang couldn't do it, and he couldn't do it either, and the current governor of Bingzhou Rencheng King Li Daozong still couldn't do it!

In fact, Li Daozong is the most suitable... because now that Daizhou has flourished, Yanmen has been established, and there is a famous general on behalf of the country, Li Jing, who is guarding the country. In fact, the military deployment in Hedong has gradually moved northward, and Li Daozong is useless in Bingzhou.

But before Li Daozong was the governor of Lingzhou, Li Yuan asked him to exchange with Li Shenfu... Now when he turned his head, Li Daozong shot back with his carbine and rode on Li Shenfu's face.

It's inappropriate from any angle.

Pei Ji was reading out the imperial edict ahead of him...it was about some phrases like celebrating the new year with peace in the world now, Li Shan thought in his heart that the Eastern Palace might directly push Li Shenfu to the position of the chief general, and perhaps also use the qualifications of a member A general who is deep enough will serve as the chief general.

It is not appropriate for a general from King Qin's lineage to be the chief general, and Li Shenfu to be his deputy...but if the chief general is from the East Palace, Li Shenfu may not be unwilling to be his deputy.

But there is another possibility.

Li Shan's eyes fell on a tall and thin figure in the front. In terms of status, there is another candidate who can make people speechless.

Qi Wang Li Yuanji.

Could it really be Li Yuanji?

Li Shan shook his head slightly, whether it was the impression given to him in the history books or the observation in this life, Li Yuanji didn't seem like this kind of scheming person.

Moreover, it was Pei Shiju who suggested to prepare troops in the Guannei... This old fox has already entered the gate of the East Palace, so it is impossible to make a wedding dress for King Qi.

Regarding this candidate, Li Shan and Ling Jing had several long conversations, and they both judged that Li Shenfu was the most likely candidate, and Donggong recommended him as a deputy, with the purpose of rejecting candidates from King Qin's lineage.
