Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 868

September [-]th, Linhu Hall.

Li Yuan sat at the head, staring at Li Shimin with a steadfast expression, "Erlang is a young man who is heroic and generous, why does he allow his subordinates to be so corrupt and despicable?"

Li Jiancheng on the side added fuel to the fire and added: "Even if the Shaofu and the Ministry of Civil Affairs have difficulty paying for it for a while, but in this national war, although the second brother did not come to the battlefield in person..."

Tsk tsk, I have to say that Li Jiancheng's methods of fighting in the palace are still leveraged, and he stopped talking halfway, and those blank spaces make people think... At least there is such a meaning, Li Yuan will inevitably think that King Handan leads the army, and King Qin is behind the scenes , what do you want to do?
Is it hoped that Li Shan will be defeated, and then Erlang will turn the tide and take advantage of the situation to replace Dalang and enter the East Palace?

Li Shimin looked calm, and looked at Li Jiancheng with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "Jingzhao Du's family is well-known all over the country. If the prince wants to, he can recruit Du Zhili as an official of the East Palace. I dare not stop him."

Li Yuan coughed twice, "Erlang, don't say such angry words."

Hey, in fact, Li Shimin is really not talking out of anger, he is really annoying that old man Du Yan, for that little money... Li Shan has been leaving for several days, but he still doesn't let go, so he and his nephew Du Ruhui It was a complete fallout, and the quarrel made the entire Jingzhao Du family restless.

Well, it's not that little money... According to the normal price, it's a lot of money, and there are Li Shimin and Du Ruhui who don't know about it. It can surprise anyone who sees it.

Here is the problem, Yuhuchun is not something that can be used directly, it needs to be distilled again, so Li Shan needs a lot of raw materials for Yuhuchun.

Du Ruhui has already taken people to the Zhuangzi... Because of this incident, Du Yan turned away his nephew, how dare he let people know the number of Yuhuchun in the Zhuangzi.

Food is needed for wine making. So much wine, where did Du Yan get so much food?

Anyone with normal logic would know that there must be something wrong, and the autumn harvest has just ended, so the speed of the winery cannot be so fast... Then the source of food is a problem.

Uh, it must be admitted that Li Shan did need a lot of Yuhuchun, but he did dig this hole for Du Yan... Back then, he occasionally found out that there was a secret relationship between Feng Lun and King Qi. Come to aid as the beginning.

What is the relationship between Du Yan and Feng Lun?
And what is the relationship between Feng Lun and King Qi?
And the two Shaoqings of Sinong Temple, Zhao Yuankai and Yu Wenying, both had close contacts with King Qi by coincidence...

Li Shan dug this hole conveniently, hoping that the latecomers would find out about the matter, anyway, it would not be a good thing, and Feng Lun, Du Yan, King Qi and himself either had nothing to do with him, or had enmity.

Du Yan naturally didn't think of this, and he didn't even think that it was Li Shan who dug the hole, and he only cared about fighting with his nephew Du Ruhui.

In fact, the most unlucky person is not Du Ruhui, who is full of hair, but Taichang Qing Dou Dan. Li Shan did what he said, and almost every day after he set off, he would write a letter back to urge Yuhuchun... The specific distillation procedure is determined by Taichang. Changsi was in charge, and Dou Dan had a good relationship with Jiang Zuojian and the Shaofu.

Dou Dan is so busy these days that he hits the back of his head with his heels, but he has to find time every day... either to go to Chengqian Hall, or to Tiance Mansion, anyway, to block Li Shimin.

All the officials of the Manchu Dynasty knew that the two officials of this generation of Jingzhao Du's direct line were both officials of Tiance Mansion, and Du Yan snatched the property of Yuhuchun from Li Shan back then.

If not Li Shimin, who else could he turn to?

But what can Li Shimin do... Could it be that he is forcing his subjects to destroy their families for the country?

It happened that there was a great war, and neither the Shaofu nor the Ministry of Civil Affairs would give the money, at most it was on credit... We can talk about it when we have money in the future, but how could Du Yan agree?

Scholars in this era are all descendants of aristocratic families, and they pay more attention to their own interests and the interests of the family... generally more than the interests of the country.

If Li Shimin forces Du Yan to donate... what will other people under his command think?
Later generations said that the struggle between King Qin and the crown prince was actually a confrontation between the Guanlongmen Clan and the Shandong gentry, but in fact this kind of statement is too biased. The lineage of King Qin is indeed like Changsun Shunde, Changsun Wuji, and Duguyan There are important figures in the Guanlong Group like Yun, but there are also many descendants of officials with declining lintels like Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, and Qin Qiong.

Under Li Shimin's command, there are also many gentry in Shandong, including the Taiyuan Wang family, Zhaojun Li family, Xiexian Liu family, Hedong Xue family, Boling Cui family, Jingzhao Du family, Qinghe Fang family, and Xingyang Zheng family. .

Forcing Du Yan to donate... What would so many descendants of aristocrats think?
Li Shimin could only ask Fang Xuanling and Ling Jing to urge Du Ruhui in private...to urge Du Ruhui, until Du Ruhui was about to start a war with his uncle Du Yan.

To this day, after Dou Dan received another fierce letter from Li Shan, he simply revealed the matter to Li Yuan.

Now it's Li Shimin's turn to have a headache. He wants to explain something...but let alone the crown prince Li Jiancheng, even Li Yuan doesn't believe it.

"Second brother, you can't let Huairen pay this money, can you?" Li Jiancheng chased after him, "I remember Huairen borrowed a large sum of money from the third sister and Huaiyang Wangdi last month."

Li Yuan smiled and nodded, "Yesterday Pingyang was still talking about this matter, Huairen just had a soft heart and took those refugees... If he hadn't acted as his personal guard and went out with Huairen, I'm afraid there would be nowhere to live."

Princess Pingyang gave birth to a daughter on the night of the second day after Li Shan set off to leave Beijing. Li Yuan was overjoyed, and despite the three consecutive declines of Princess Pingyang and his wife, he insisted on being conferred the title of Wugong County Lord.

The Tang Dynasty followed the Han system. Under normal circumstances, only the daughters of princes could be canonized as county heads. In history, clan daughters and relatives would also add the titles of princess and county head. The love for this daughter of Pingyang is heavy.

And it is also titled with martial arts. Back then, Princess Pingyang formed an army in the pass, which was stationed in Wugong County, with more than [-] people under her command.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth, and cursed Li Shan secretly, before leaving, he lost such a troublesome thing, and he will have to find this guy to settle the score later!

At this time, the palace sent a report, and Pei Jiyang with a happy face walked into the hall with the documents in his hand, "Your Majesty, Jingzhou has won!"

Before Li Yuan could react, Li Jiancheng had already jumped up from the spot, grabbed the document and looked at it, and laughed loudly: "Great victory, great victory!"

"Handan Guo is a famous general in the world!"

And Li Shimin stared suspiciously at Li Jiancheng who looked delighted...how could it be so fast?
After reading the documents for a while, Li Yuan glanced sideways at the eldest son, and knew what this guy was thinking. Even if he wanted to stop Erlang from leading the army, he couldn't be so exaggerated. Although he won the game, it was not a great victory.
