Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 736 Chang'an Situation

Li Shan feels that this is the most comfortable period of time he has lived since he traveled to this era, er, it is definitely not because he can bathe together every night.

For this reason, Li Shan didn't even go back for the Lantern Festival, who would go back to Chang'an to see the lanterns, wouldn't it be good to stay here and hide?

Even after the Lantern Festival, the court had already started to go to the court, and Li Shan still refused to go back... But if he didn't go back, there were still guests visiting.

The two who came arrived together. One was Zhang Wenxi who had just received official documents from the Ministry of Officials and was about to leave for Huating county magistrate in Longzhou. He was here to arrest his younger brother Zhang Wenguan who was hiding in Huaqing Pool.

The other is Li Zhaode.

"Brother Huai, look!" Li Zhaode proudly pointed to the large piece of beef in the hands of his entourage.

"Okay!" Li Shan was overjoyed, how can there be no beef on the table during the Chinese New Year, but beef is really not easy to get, Li Shan is really greedy.

Because his father, Li Qianyou, was the order of Chang'an, and if the cattle died violently and were killed, they would all be reported to the county government. Therefore, when Li Shan returned to Beijing, whenever he wanted to eat beef, he would go to Li Zhaode.

"Let's eat hot pot today!" Li Shan was in high spirits, and patted the depressed Zhang Wenguan, "I'll see you off for your brother, and go to Huating to study hard and make progress every day."

Zhang Wenguan sat down angrily, grabbed a melon and took a bite.

"Cucumber?" Li Zhaode was a little surprised, he also grabbed one and stuffed it into his mouth, muttering while eating, "I won't send some during the Huairen New Year's Day."

Li Shan laughed and said nothing. He only came to Huaqing Pool to know that several hot spring supervisors were planting vegetables in winter, but these things were not for eating...at least not for eating in name.

All the hot spring supervisors, all the melons and vegetables moistened by the soup and cooked first, are all recommended to the mausoleum temple.

Of course, when Li Shan came to Huaqing Pool, the supervisor Tang, Cheng, and recorder here were all his serious subordinates, so naturally he wanted to try his best to flatter him, and he never stopped eating cucumbers these days.

But Li Shan was also a little surprised, "Isn't it cucumber?"

"The former Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty changed pickled cucumbers to Bailu cucumbers." Zhang Wenxi explained vaguely: "The royal family in the previous dynasty was quite taboo."

Although Yang Jian claimed to be from the Hongnong Yang family, and he generously promoted and reused many Hongnong Yang's children, even Zong Zhengqing was sent out, but in fact, everyone knows that Yang Jian has Xianbei blood... He did not take power back then At that time, his surname was Pu Liuru.

Therefore, after Yang Jian usurped the throne and established the Sui Dynasty, the royal family was quite taboo about Hu characters, and all words involving "Hu" were changed.

Li Shan asked with interest: "But it's obviously green, why change it to cucumber?"

Both Zhang Wenguan and Li Zhaode were only in their teens, so naturally they didn’t know that Zhang Wenxi was nearly forty years old. After pondering for a while, he explained: “Since ancient times, the color has been divided into the right room, and among the right colors, yellow is the earth color, which is in the center.”

Li Shan nodded with a smile, and didn't ask any more questions. Most likely, Emperor Yang of Sui insisted on naming cucumber instead of green melon in order to declare the legitimacy of the royal family.

A few people found a pool to soak in before coming out to eat... It's a pity that there is no condition, otherwise Li Shan would want to eat while soaking.

Zhang Wenguan and Li Zhaode are kind of sympathetic. They are about the same age. They have been strictly controlled by their families for the past two years. Both parents hope to be admitted to the official.

In fact, these two are a bit alike. Later, both of them were admitted to the official examination, but they both studied Mingjing, but they both became prime ministers in the end.

"Leaving tomorrow?" Li Shan regretted that he couldn't get any good seasoning here, and said casually: "Longzhou is not far away, and the snow has not stopped yet."

Zhang Wenxi had a rather sad look on his face, "Now Chang'an... it's better to leave as soon as possible."

Li Shan was a little stunned. He was hiding in Huaqing Pool and was carefree. How could he know that in Chang'an... Li Shimin's past few days have been so miserable.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, in the early court, a courtier suddenly announced that if the unification is underway today, the Daxingtai of Shandong Road will be revoked and divided into several roads.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves. Who doesn't know that Daxingtai of Shaanxi Road is the foundation of King Qin and even Tiance Mansion. The top and bottom of Daxingtai of Shaanxi Road are basically the confidantes of King Qin, which is different from Yizhou Road, which is far away. Daxing Terrace on Eastern Shaanxi Road is too important to Tiance Mansion... In fact, Tiance Mansion was first established in Luoyang.

The King of Qin, Li Shimin, had to go into battle in person, and Prince Li Jiancheng surprisingly echoed a few words, but suggested that Jiang Guogong Qu Tutong return to the court to be the Minister of the Ministry of Justice who happened to be vacant... This year, the "Wu De Law" finally came out.

Listening to Li Zhaode and Zhang Wenxi's description of the situation in central Beijing, Li Shan squinted his eyes slightly. He was stationed with King Qi and Li Qianyou at the Yellow River, and he knew a thing or two about Daxingtai, Eastern Shaanxi Province.

Jiang Guogong Qu Tutong actually controlled the Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province as a right servant. Once he was transferred back to Beijing, although Li Shimin still had many confidantes in the Central Plains, he wanted to pick out a person who could hold the situation. It's difficult... Who gave Li Jiancheng such a sinister trick!

Donggong didn't want to reach out to Daxingtai on Shandong Road at all, but tried to mess it up.

In the past two days, the two sides have been fighting extremely happily, and Li Yuan's attitude...severely reprimanded the courtier who proposed to revoke the Daxingtai of Eastern Shaanxi Road, but did not give any substantive punishment.

This attitude already says a lot.

Under the circumstance that the Turkic threat does not need to be considered for the time being, the two sides are almost tit-for-tat. In just these two days, the two sides have fought back and forth several times with real knives and guns, and they have also frequently shot in secret... But with Li Yuan's side, Tiance Mansion It was a disadvantage.

Li Zhaode said in a low voice: "Before leaving Beijing today, I heard that Zhang Liang, an official of Tiance Mansion's chariot and cavalry general, was escorted to Beijing, and the sage ordered a commander to interrogate him."

Zhang Wenguan's eyes widened, "Torture what?"

"It is said that someone reported that Zhang Liang recruited dead soldiers in Luoyang..." Li Zhaode gave him a wink.

Zhang Wenguan blurted out, "Could it be King Qin..."

"Snapped!"

Li Shan slapped Zhang Wenguan on the back of the head, and Zhang Wenxi beside him said with a sullen face, "Erlang be careful!"

After a long silence, Li Shan sighed: "It's better to leave Beijing earlier..."

Li Shan knew about Zhang Liang's imprisonment in his previous life. It is recorded in the history books that he was unyielding and never confessed.

Maybe in this life, Li Shimin will still rob his sister-in-law... Maybe Su Dingfang really wants to replace Chang He.

Li Shan's eyes flickered, he might as well stay in Huaqing Pool for a while... But maybe he should find a chance to meet Ma Zhou.

"By the way, dear brother Huai." Li Zhaode said: "Father mentioned yesterday that the East Palace recommended Li Shenfu, king of Xiangyi County, as the general manager of the Lingzhou Road."

Li Shanda was stunned, "Him?"

Li Shenfu has this qualification, but does he have this ability?

Does Donggong feel that the current Turks are in a state of despair, or does he really think that Li Shenfu is a famous general?
