Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 731
It’s still the first month, and the entire Chang’an city is still in a festive atmosphere. The imperial city is also lazy, and there are tiny snowflakes falling from the sky. .

I've never seen anything like this before... Is it necessary to guard the Suzaku Gate personally?

Inside Ganlu Hall, Li Yuan said with a smile: "Then Su Dingfang is honest, not the same as Huairen."

"Huiren thinks a lot..." Princess Pingyang said quietly, "I visited the door the day before yesterday, and I was not very satisfied. She said he was causing trouble for him."

Li Yuan frowned, "What did Huairen say?"

"He said he couldn't offend the crown prince, and he couldn't offend the second younger brother." Princess Pingyang sighed, "Yesterday Huairen went to the East Palace for a banquet, and today it is said that the second younger brother is hosting a banquet in Chengqian Hall... I don't know how to avoid suspicion!"

"It can be both ways." Li Yuan said haha, but he didn't care in his heart.

If Li Shan really wants to avoid suspicion and stay away from both sides, Li Yuan is not at ease. Who knows if the two sons will win over in private... Now that Li Shan is putting the matter on the surface, Li Yuan knows it well, this is a deliberate act Show it to yourself.

At this time, Wei Ting, who was holding an oil umbrella, walked quickly through the Suzaku Gate, and hearing the noise behind him, suppressed a smile, went around to the side and entered the East Palace.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!" Wei Ting said loudly as soon as he entered Xiande Hall: "Do you know what I saw at the Vermilion Bird Gate?!"

Although it was only the fourth day of the first lunar month, Wang Gui and Wei Zheng, the prince's most important staff, were there, and they frowned when they saw Wei Ting's behavior. These two couldn't see Wei Ting's appearance... relying on being a good friend of the prince's Yelling.

Li Jiancheng didn't care, and asked with a smile, "Master Julu guards the gate himself?"

"Your Highness also knows." Wei Ting sat down and said with a smile: "I heard that the King of Qin held a banquet at Chengqian Palace today?"

"It's true." Wei Zheng said in a deep voice, "Su Dingfang restrained the Beiya imperial army, who doesn't know that His Majesty really trusts the King of Handan?"

Wei Ting clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "I saw it with my own eyes, Fang Xuanling was turned away!"

"Rejected?" Li Jiancheng couldn't help laughing, "Fang Xuanling is the second brother's confidant, why is he not allowed to enter the imperial city?"

Wei Zheng reminded: "The year before last, Fang Xuanling handed over the position to Du Ruhui's uncle Du Yan. Since then, he has not been an official of Tiance Mansion. Without a fish bag, he is not allowed to enter the imperial city."

Li Jiancheng suddenly realized, "No wonder my father praised Su Dingfang for his style of willows."

"Yesterday, the King of Handan mentioned that the Duke of Julu County should fulfill his duties." Wang Gui's old face was a little distorted, "But Fang Xuanling is not allowed to enter the imperial city, this is also..."

Even if the Eastern Palace and Qin Wang's Mansion are fighting to this extent, even if Fang Xuanling was beaten by Luo Yi's younger brother, the Eastern Palace will not do such a thing... Firstly, it is unnecessary, and it will not cause any actual losses, and secondly, it is a bit depressing. share.

After a while, several people laughed at the same time. For Donggong, it was enough for Su Dingfang, who restrained the Beiya imperial army, to do his duty.

At this moment, Fang Xuanling finally entered Chengqian Hall and was explaining to Li Shimin... Li Shan's mouth was crooked!
Li Shan couldn't accurately judge whether Su Dingfang's actions were sincere or acting... This guy doesn't seem to have any acting talent.

Seeing Li Shimin glance over, Li Shangan laughed a few times, "Brother Ding Fang, this is... this is..."

"Ahem." Ling Jing coughed twice, "Didn't you tell the prescription that you must do your duty?"

Li Shan raised the amount with his hands, "Please forgive me, Your Highness."

"If there is wind of fine willows." Li Shimin laughed and said: "This matter was handled improperly by Gu, and Xuanling was wronged."

Speaking of which, Fang Xuanling was also a bit unlucky. Ever since he abdicated to Du Yan the year before last, Li Shimin had thought about taking another position, but the problem was that Fang Xuanling's position in the political group King Qin was extraordinary, and he could be called the right-hand man. , Not any position is acceptable, at least not lower than the original record room to join the army.

But the Tiance Mansion is also a radish and a pit. Similar positions, such as Su Shichang, the military counselor, and Li Xuandao, the chief secretary, were all expelled from Beijing, and everyone was driven away. officer position.

Another example is that Xue Shou, another reporter who joined the army, has been bedridden for many years now, and it is impossible for Li Shimin to hand over this position to Fang Xuanling.

Therefore, up to the current position, Fang Xuanling is still not an official of the Tiance Mansion on the bright side, nor does he hold a position in the court, so naturally he has no fish bag.

"Fortunately, a certain entered the palace earlier. At that time, the Duke of Julu had not guarded the Zhuque Gate." The corner of Changsun Wuji's mouth twitched. He was also not an official of the Tiance Mansion, and he was not even ranked as an eighteenth scholar like Fang Xuanling. , but is also regarded as Li Shimin's confidant.

After a small episode, several people sat down in a room in the side hall, and the maid brought tea cups, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Huai Ren, try it."

Li Shan took a sip of the mixed-flavored tea soup, his face was also mixed-flavored, and he praised against his will: "It's really good craftsmanship."

Li Shimin stroked his beard and said, "The eldest grandson's family is best at cooking tea, how can it be compared to Huairen's mother?"

Ling Jing glanced at Li Shan, "Your Highness doesn't know, although Mrs. Zhu is also good at cooking tea, Huai Ren only likes a glass of water."

Fang Xuanling also nodded and said: "I heard from Dalang that Huairen likes water and hates tea."

"Hehe, hehe." Li Shan laughed a few times: forced to change the subject, "Your Highness, Li Mengchang..."

"His Highness has suppressed this matter." Du Ruhui, who had not spoken up until now, said, "Li Mengchang is straightforward and instigated by others. It's just that Duan Zhixuan and Duke Dao have complaints."

Li Shimin comforted: "In the future, Huairen can have more contacts with Mengchang...Mengchang has already been engaged to the Cui family of Qinghe, and she is the second daughter of Cui Baoshan, the former Duke of Changping County in the Sui Dynasty."

Fang Xuanling at the side explained: "Cui Baoshan, who was born in Qinghe Cui's eldest family, and Cui Xin has not been out of five clothes, and has many contacts."

Li Shan's eyes rolled. Most of the officials from the Qinghe Cui family were attached to the East Palace before, and Cui Xin was appointed as a member of Zhongshushe. On the surface, there was no relationship between the two sides. Now there is a well-known Qinghe Cui family who wants to be with him. The generals under King Qin got married.

Changsun Wuji interjected and asked, "Huairen and Duke Dao?"

I didn't even ask about Duan Zhixuan, the mess between Li Shan and Duan Zhixuan... Li Yuan had a headache, and Li Shimin also had a headache.

"Duke of the Dao State..." Li Shan pondered for a while, Feng Lun was originally the Duke of the county, and he became the Duke of the County last year, and then became the Duke of the State after he became the Minister of Zhongshuling.

Fang Xuanling persuaded: "In fact, even if there was no Jiang Guogong in the scientific examination last year, Dao Guogong would not refuse to take it."

After listening to Fang Xuanling's explanation, Li Shan was a little surprised. He didn't know this at first. Feng Lun suppressed his case files... It may be that he had other plans, but he was disturbed by Jiang Guogong Chen Shuda.

"Your Highness." Li Shan looked at Li Shimin, "I dare not speak nonsense, but I always feel that Dao Guogong is a bit cunning..."

Li Shimin frowned, "How can you see that?"

Li Shan shook his head, "I can't explain clearly..."
