Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 941 Preparation

Ever since Li Shan used a dirty trick to get Wen Yanbo to impeach him more than two months ago, the Duke of Xihe's attitude towards Li Shan...was neither yin nor yang, sometimes far and sometimes near, but today he suddenly made such a great gift, Everyone naturally knows the reason.

Li Shan hurried over and rolled it up, took the oil-paper umbrella handed over by Zhao Da and propped it up, "Mr. Yan Bo, why are you here?"

"See Your Highness without face." Wen Yanbo sighed.

"Haha, it's my nephew's fault first." Li Shan took Wen Yanbo's arm into the room, and joked, "If Yanbo is called Huairen..."

Wen Yanbo smiled wryly. Although he was annoyed that Li Shan used himself as a messenger, which caused his reputation to plummet, he also knew that what the young county king did was not entirely selfish, and he admired Li Shan's willingness to spare no expense for the country. With courage and benevolence, who would have thought that there would be such a sinister rumor in Chang'an, let alone that the two sons would get involved.

"Insanely stupid!"

Hearing Wen Yanbo comment on his two sons like this, even Li Shan could speak so eloquently that he really had nothing to say...it was indeed a bit stupid.

In fact, Wen Zhen and Wen Ting did not agree with what Uncle Luo Shou and Nephew said, they just kept silent, the point is not here, but that they are sitting with the Luo family under the gate of the East Palace, which in itself is stupid.

There is also a passion for incense, why did Luo Shou and Luo Yang not invite Li Jia and Li Qi, the sons of Li Keshi, to the banquet?
Naturally, it's because Li Keshi is now in the lineage of the King of Qin, and Luo Yi has already joined the Eastern Palace's sect.

Among the three heroes of the Wen family, the third eldest, Wen Dayou, died early. The eldest, Wen Daya, served as the servant of the Huangmen and the servant of the Ministry of Industry in his early years.

After Wen Yanbo entered the court, he soon became the servant of Zhongshu. Like other aristocratic families, if an elder brother joined the Qin Palace, he would naturally make other choices, and there were faint signs of moving closer to the East Palace... Or, Wen Yanbo was in the court. Most of them appear as Li Yuan's direct descendants.

After all, at that time, Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng had a harmonious relationship with their father and son, and they jointly controlled King Qin.

In the final analysis, Wen Yanbo is not a disciple of the prince, but is close to the East Palace because of Li Yuan. Yuwen Shiji, one of the two Zhongshu servants, is also the Sima of Tiance Mansion.

But after the First World War in Tiantai Mountain, the situation changed drastically. Although Li Yuan did not show Yi Chu's intentions, all signs showed that there was already a deep gap between Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng, father and son, and it was a gap that was difficult to resolve. .

Under the current situation, there is no need for Wen Yanbo to alienate the prince obviously. He is even glad that he stays away from Chang'an as the commander of the army. Originally, he was close to the East Palace because of Li Yuan's position. Now he only needs to maintain the same position as Li Yuan. up,
But Wen Yanbo avoided the vortex, but whoever wanted to get two sons jumped in... Isn't that stupid?

The matter has already spread, Taiyuan Wen's children and the Donggong sect slandered the King of Handan...the relationship between them is naturally intriguing if they can slander the King of Handan together.

Wen Yanbo gritted his teeth, "The old man intentionally sent Erlang to Baiquan to plead guilty to Huairen."

"It's over." Li Shan smiled and shook his hand, "But if you go to Baiquan from the wind and snow, you should watch the year together."

Wen Yanbo made up his mind, he would ask his second son to be escorted later, and Wen Bang could be brought for mediation, but unfortunately the eldest son Wen Zhen has already left his official position.

Dou Gui on the side advised a few words, then turned to say: "Rumors and gossips in Beijing... Your Majesty asserts that it is a trick by the Turks?"

"Yeah." Li Shan didn't seem to care much about it, and said casually: "Third Sister sent someone to investigate, and it was first spread by Hu merchants in the eastern and western cities, and it was supposed to be a Turkic quarrel."

Dou Gui stared suspiciously at the innocent Li Shan, he would not believe that the young county king had the intention of supporting himself, but he doubted the veracity of the rumor, it could not really be His Majesty's early years...

In fact, everyone here is a little skeptical about this rumor, and Li Kai, who knows the inside story, is desperately trying to hold back his laughter. This matter has caused a lot of trouble...

"Cough cough, cough cough." Li Kai deliberately changed the subject, "Huairen has defeated the Turks several times, and his reputation has spread far and wide. It's no wonder that the Turks are trying to drive a wedge between them, but I don't know if it's Dubu Khan or Tuli Khan?"

"Of course it's Ashina Sheer!" Li Shan replied without thinking, and then explained after a pause: "After all, Tuli Khan is a sworn brother with a certain Jinlan!"

The room became quiet, the atmosphere was a little weird, everyone was a little... don't know what to say, it's too ridiculous, how can you say such words as if nothing happened!
Li Shan blinked, "It can't be Tuli Khan's."

"Well, that's true." Dou Gui's old face twitched. Of course, as long as it is confirmed that it is Turkic, almost everyone will target Dubu Khan.

Because one of the rumors spread in Chang'an was about Li Shan's collusion with the Turks...the one who colluded was the Turk Khan.

The King of Handan and the Khan of Tuli formed an alliance in Jinlan. Last year, more than [-] Turks failed to capture Guji Town. It was because the Khan of Tuli refused to contribute, but threatened Jieli Khan faintly. Tuli Khan, who was captured in the First World War in Jingzhou, was released privately.

Therefore, this cannot be the rumors released by Tuli Khan, so it can only be Ashina Sheer.

However, Li Shan knew very early on that this rumor came from Ashina Sheer...before the rumor appeared in the Chang'an workshop.

Li Shan also knew that the Han Chinese Zhao Deyan was responsible for it. He even knew the names of the Hu merchants who first spread the rumors, what goods they sold, and where they lived.

The reason is very simple, because Tuli Khan sent his cronies to inform him about this matter... This favor Li Shan took note of, but Li Shan also knew that the blockage could not be blocked, and he could send Dubu Khan All the spies were arrested, what about the second and third batches?

Moreover, I hold most of the troops in Guannei Dao, so it is impossible not to be suspected by the court. If my plan fails, it will be difficult for this battle to end in a short time. Far... No matter how trustworthy Li Yuan is, he is an emperor after all. It is the emperor's instinct to be suspicious of leading generals, not dominated by emotions.

Blocking is worse than sparse, Li Shan simply pushed back and let this rumor spread throughout Chang'an in a short period of time. If Li Yuan intends to call him back to the court, it doesn't matter... It's a bit darker, just in case Then there was the Xuanwumen incident, and Li Shan sent Li Yuan to the boat to have a blast, and he didn't feel any guilt in his heart.

If Li Yuan gave him trust, if the next battle goes well, he will soon get rid of this suspicion. If it doesn't go well, someone will make trouble... Li Yuan will probably set his target on the Turkic side logically.

Moreover, this is also an opportunity for him to return to Beijing in the future.
