Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 722 Don't Blame Me This Time!

After the court meeting was over, Li Shan seriously considered whether he needed to take sick leave on the first day of the first lunar month after half a month.

Generally speaking, during the reign of Wude in the early Tang Dynasty, there were three kinds of court meetings.

One is the most common Shuowang pilgrimage, that is, the first and fifteenth day of each month... Today is the [-]th pilgrimage, because it is the last pilgrimage this year, so the etiquette is complete.

The second is to attend the court every day, but Li Yuan is not a particularly diligent emperor, and he does not go to the court every day. In fact, except for Shuo Ri and Wang Ri, there are very few morning court visits on weekdays.

The third is the Dachaohui on Yuanri, which is the second day of New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month.

The grand court meeting is the most solemn and requires a "grand display". The exhibition hall hangs advocacy, and the display of chariots and chariots.

First, the crown prince offered his birthday, then the emperor gave his birthday, and then the Zhongshu ordered to play Zhuzhou Biao, the servant of Huangmen played auspiciousness, the Minister of the Ministry of Households played the contributions of Zhuzhou, the minister of the Ministry of Rites played the contributions of Zhuzhou, the order of the Taishi played cloud objects, and the minister played Zhongzhong. After the ceremony, Zhongshu Ling offered his birthday to the priest...

The usual court meeting lasted from around [-]:[-] in the morning to [-]:[-] in the morning, but today it was postponed to [-]:[-] noon, and the court meeting...you can have afternoon tea!
I am really not afraid of starving to death!
Li Shan checked the time, he didn't plan to go back to Sinong Temple, so he asked Zhao Yuankai to go back and say hello, and then he went directly to Dongshan Restaurant... Let's do group building tonight!

Today's delay was too long, the food in the corridor that had been prepared earlier was cold, the courtiers rushed out of Chengtianmen, and the streets of Chengtianmen were full of people.

"Oh, Lord Ande." Li Shan greeted a middle-aged man in his early 30s, "A few days ago, I met your son at Princess Pingyang's Mansion. He is very talented at a young age."

This middle-aged man is Yang Shidao, the youngest brother of Zhongshuling Yang Gongren. Before Li Daozong, he served as the governor of Lingzhou.

"The King of Handan is too famous." Yang Shidao said with a smile: "If you are talented in essays, who can compare with you?"

Although there was an affair between Queen Qi Yang and Zhu, the relationship between the two families is quite good because of Li Shan's promotion in the court and the friendship between Li Shan and Yang Gongren's eldest son Yang Siyi.

Among the prime ministers, the one who is the friendliest to Li Shan is Chen Shuda, his servant, followed by Yang Gongren, the order of Zhongshu.

"Each has its own strengths." Wen Yanbo, who happened to be at the side, said with a smile, "Huai Ren needs to be deliberated, while Jing You has a talent for success."

Several people laughed, Li Shan's reputation for deliberation has long been spread... If he was asked to recite poems immediately, it would definitely not work. Now it is rumored that if Handan's poems are not satisfactory, he would rather burn them than sell them. In the outside world, so the poems in this world are all amazing.

And Yang Shidao was quick-witted, and every time he had a banquet, he would almost draw a pen and write it right away, which was praised by others.

"It's going to be a little longer for Dalang, but I want to ask Handan to teach him art." Yang Shidao said, "There are many people who are both civil and military. It's rare like this one."

"It's too good, it's too good." Li Shan smiled wryly, but he was complaining in his heart, your son... just forget it!

In fact, Li Shan met Yang Shidao's son not long after he traveled through time. It was the Lantern Festival in the fifth year of Wude, and many noble ladies came to Dongshan Temple to offer incense...mainly attracted by various lanterns and lantern riddles.

At that time, Yang Shidao did not come, but his wife, Princess Changguang, came and brought Yang Yuzhi, the son she had with Yang Shidao. At that time, it was Princess Yongjia who was holding Yang Yuzhi's hand.

Standing on a high place, Li Shan lamented, what a mess!
Many years later, Princess Changguang died of illness. During the funeral, Yang Yuzhi conspired with her aunt, Princess Yongjia, to commit adultery, and was finally caught in bed by Princess Yongjia's husband-in-law, Dou Fengjie.

Li Shan now has quite a lot of connections in Chang'an, but he seldom visits. The only one he can come and go to at will is Princess Pingyang's Mansion. There he has met many clan women, and he keeps a respectful distance from that Princess Yongjia, who is not married yet.

However, Li Shan was able to talk with Princess Changguang. On the one hand, when the mother of Dongshan Temple, Zhu Shi, and Princess Qi Yang were in trouble at the beginning of the year, it was Princess Changguang who relieved the siege and stood on Zhu Shi's side.

On the other hand, because of the fight in the Forbidden Garden last year, Zhao Cihao was trampled by wild horses, and his chest and abdomen were severely injured. Li Shan took the risk to rescue him, and Zhao Cihao's elder brother, Zhao Cijing, was Princess Changguang's first husband-in-law.

More than a month ago, Zhao Cihao entrusted Princess Changguang to intervene... Both Zhao Cihao and Zhao Yuankai came from the Zhao family in Tianshui, but fortunately Princess Changguang refused to agree.

After chatting for a while, Yang Shidao said in a low voice, "Give Huating county magistrate."

"Thank you Lord Ande." Li Shan was a little surprised. He just saw that there were so many people in front of him, and he had to wait for Zhao Yuankai to gather people for team building and chat for a while. He didn't expect Yang Shidao to talk about Zhang Wenxi's elder brother Zhang Wenxi's appointment .

Although he is a child of the Zhang family in Wucheng, he is a county magistrate as soon as he becomes an official. Even children with five surnames and seven families are rare... County magistrates in the Sui and Tang Dynasties are not comparable to the seven-rank sesame officials in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Obviously, when Yang Shidao mentioned this matter... he was just telling Li Shan that it was for your sake.

The thought flashed in his mind, and then Li Shan uttered, "Huating?"

If I remember correctly, Huating is another name for Songjiang, right?
"This Huating is not that Huating." Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "Lu Xun was born in Huating in the Three Kingdoms, and he was named Huating Marquis, but the Huating that Lord Ande said was Huating County, Longzhou."

"Oh oh oh oh!" Li Shanqian laughed a few times, really didn't know that there is Huating County!
Longzhou belongs to Guannei Road, Li Shan thought about it, this position is a bit dangerous... Guannei Road is likely to become the main battlefield in the next few years, and it will mainly be concentrated in Lingzhou, Yuanzhou, Huizhou, and Suzhou. And Longzhou borders Yuanzhou and Suzhou.

I went back and asked Zhang Wenxi. Anyway, the official document could not be issued until after the opening of the first lunar month... and the official department is basically surnamed Yang.

Zhongshu ordered Yang Gongren to concurrently serve as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Yang Shidao served as Minister of the Ministry of Officials...During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there was only one Minister of the Six Departments, and there was no distinction between left and right.

A few people were chatting, and saw that the people in front had dispersed, so they walked forward slowly. Li Shan also invited the two of them to go to team building together, but he heard a loud noise in front of him.

In the crowd, a sharp voice was scolding, and the scolded were two middle-aged officials.

Li Shan's eyes were slightly confused, and he said softly: "Who is that?"

"Li Mengchang, Duke of Wushui County." Wen Yanbo frowned and said, "An official of Tiance Mansion, a descendant of the Li family in Zhaojun."

Li Shan immediately remembered that this guy had a fight with Duan Lun, the captain-in-law, in Furong Garden.

Another two or three officials came out to agree one after another. Li Shan took a closer look and his eyes turned cold... I can't blame me this time!

It's really not that I want to cause trouble!

"Huai Ren."

Wen Yanbo reached out and grabbed Li Shan's sleeve who was about to move, "Don't be rash."

Li Shan looked back, smiled, and slowly and firmly opened Wen Yanbo's hand.

The two people who were insulted were both officials of Daizhou General Administration Office. One was Kan Leng, Duke of Linji County, and the other was Sima of Daizhou, Boer Zhu Yichen of Xiurong County.
