Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 730 The Embarrassing Situation
"Uncle, uncle!"

"Why did you come here!" Li Shan, who had just entered the door, bent down and hugged Chai Zhewei, and greeted Du Xiao who came up with a smile, "Whenever I return to Beijing, I won't go to Zhuangzi."

"I just came back a few days ago." Du Xiao's dark face was full of smiles, and he greeted Wang Junhao, Zhu Ba, and Zhao Da behind him a few times.

When Li Shan went to Daizhou, the guards sent by Princess Pingyang were headed by Du Xiao, who attacked the Turkic camp before. Du Xiao made great contributions.

"Here, this is the gift list." Wang Junhao handed over the gift list thousands of times, "Just let someone carry it to the warehouse, there are many good things."

Li Shan didn't bother with these trivial matters, walked in with Chai Zhewei in his arms, said hello to Chai Shao, and went to the backyard. Before entering, he bumped into three or four children. The leader was a long, chubby little boy , about five or six years old.

The maid on the side whispered, "This is King Zhongshan."

"King of Zhongshan?" Li Shan blinked, "Which one belongs to..."

"It's the eldest cousin of the second uncle's family."

Chai Zhewei's words made Li Shan react. It turns out that this is Li Chengqian, who is so fat that he thought it was Li Tai.

"My nephew met Uncle Handan Wang."

Although he was young, Li Chengqian's stern salute made Li Shan feel a little strange... Maybe it was because he was too strict that he bounced back like a spring.

Let the maid go in to report, Li Shan who stayed outside reached out and touched Li Chengqian's small head, and asked a few words casually. The children on the side included the later Wei Wang Li Tai, and several children of the eldest grandson's family.

Li Shan wanted to laugh a little, Li Tai actually looked like a deep-fried dough stick.

Not long after, the maid invited Li Shan to enter. The latter walked in with Chai Zhewei in his arms. He suddenly remembered something and looked back. Several children were walking out. Li Chengqian walked steadily and not fast, but he didn't notice anything question.

"I pay my respects to the Crown Princess."

"I pay homage to Princess Qin."

The Princess Qin is here, and the Crown Princess is likely to be there too, but Li Shan didn't expect that besides these two, there are many other princesses, and the one that gave him the most headache is that Princess Yongjia, but fortunately, those who came to visit Princess Pingyang The female relatives are preparing to leave.

"Li Langjun is here." Princess Yongjia was about thirteen or fourteen years old this year, with a high nose and a beautiful appearance.

The corners of Li Shan's mouth twitched, although he said that the same surname is not intermarried, not to mention that he is also from Longxi Chengji, but he doesn't expect to marry you, and he has a good appetite, so he can even kill his nephews.

After a series of greetings, Li Shancai entered the inner room, and a group of people walked out. The concubine Qin Wang and the princess concubine met their eyes, each with their own thoughts.

Now Li Shan's weight is not limited to his own ability and reputation. Su Dingfang's restraint of the Beiya imperial army made Li Shan have an extraordinary position in the battle for the heir apparent.

Crown Princess Zheng has never participated in political affairs, but knowing that her husband attaches great importance to the Handan King, she is thinking about Li Shan's marriage in her heart, so the East Palace may be able to participate and add some glory.

And Princess Qin has always been Li Shimin's "arm help", and she knows the relationship between Li Shan and Li Shimin very clearly. At this moment, she is slightly frowning, thinking that Su Dingfang's restraint of the Beiya imperial army may be a signal to motivate her husband.

Different from other aristocratic families, Changsun Wuji and Princess Qin are not in harmony with the family. When the elder Sun Sheng died of illness, Changsun Wuji, his mother and his sister were expelled from the family by the eldest son of Changsun Sheng.

Therefore, when King Qin was defeated, other people might not be held accountable because of their family background, and even Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling might become officials, but the fate of Changsun Wuji and Princess Qin can be imagined.

In the inner room, Princess Pingyang was sipping a bowl of drink, smiling and beckoning, "Huiren is here."

"How many months?" Li Shan said with a smile, "If you are pregnant, you should rest long ago!"

"The pulse was confirmed half a month ago." Princess Pingyang put down the bowl, let the maid go out, and asked with a smile, "Want to ask about Su Dingfang?"

"Visiting the third sister is the first." Li Shan said angrily: "Of course, I have to ask, but the third sister recommends it?"

Princess Pingyang nodded affirmatively, "Su Dingfang was born in Dou Jiande's former army, and was the leader of Huairen's personal guards. He also has outstanding military exploits, so it is most suitable."

The words were tactful, but Li Shan understood as soon as he heard it. He was talking about Su Dingfang, but he was actually talking about himself, who had neither the background of the East Palace nor the background of the Qin Palace.

"Third Sister..." Li Shan sighed, "My little brother is back in Beijing, living in seclusion, but he doesn't want to cause trouble, so you insist on finding something for me!"

Princess Pingyang raised her brows upside down, "Speak clearly!"

From Princess Pingyang's point of view, this is her father's trust in Li Shan... Under such circumstances, how dare Pei Shiju take action against Li Shan, who is actually in control of the Beiya Imperial Army?
But now he is in good health, and Pei Shiju is very old, almost 80 years old!
In a few years, when Pei Shiju died of illness, Li Shan could rest easy.

Li Shan blinked, "Third Sister's kindness...by the way, did the East Palace know about this in advance?"

"I don't know." Princess Pingyang's tone was very convincing.

"Then Pei Shiju doesn't know?"

Princess Pingyang was stunned for a moment before she realized, "You suspect it's Pei Shiju... Don't worry, it's definitely not him."

Li Shan heaved a sigh of relief. Although Pei Shiju had a chance to make a move based on the current situation, at least it wasn't the old fox's hands and feet, which showed that he was not brought into the rhythm by the opponent.

After chatting for a while, Princess Pingyang was pregnant after all, and she was drowsy, so Li Shan got up and left quickly.

She slept until dusk, when Princess Pingyang woke up, and Chai Shao had finished dealing with the guests outside. One of the couple was lying down, and the other was sitting by the bed talking.

"He suspects it's Pei Shiju?" A flash of clarity flashed in Chai Shao's eyes.

"Pei Shiju is 78 this year, how many years can he live?" Princess Pingyang snorted, "Huiren is quite unhappy."

Of course he wasn't happy... Chai Shao pouted secretly, you insisted on pushing him into such an awkward position, how could he still thank you?

Although he is not [-]% sure, Chai Shao can roughly determine Li Shan's political stance... Now that the crown prince's position is fairly stable, it is very difficult for King Qin to enter the East Palace.

If the King of Qin wants to find another way... Controlling the Beiya Forbidden Army is the top priority.

Chai Shao thought, if the king of Qin really wants to rely on Li Shan and Su Dingfang, he must deploy the generals of the imperial army to firmly control the imperial army of Beiya.

However, Su Dingfang controlled the Beiya Forbidden Army, but he did not have the final say on the deployment of generals alone. The generals of the right gate supervisor, the left and right Qianniuwei generals, and the Ministry of War could all intervene.

Once the King of Qin tried to reach out to the Beiya Forbidden Army, would Su Dingfang and Li Shanneng refuse?
If Li Shan really put himself under King Qin's command, it would be impossible to refuse.

If you don't refuse, no matter how small your actions are, Pei Shiju, who has been staring at Li Shan for a long time, will find out the clue... thus proving in front of the prince that Li Shan has made a choice.

No wonder Huairen suspected that Pei Shiju had done this.

However, Chai Shao is not going to take care of these. Both he and his wife have made outstanding military achievements, so it doesn't matter whether it is the crown prince or King Qin.

Of course, from the bottom of his heart, Chai Shao hoped to see King Qin ascend the throne...not just because he had been under King Qin's tent for a long time to obey orders.

The prince is more magnanimous and good at governing. However, the Middle Kingdom is initially established, and there are still foreigners spying on him, so the King of Qin is more suitable.
