Standing on the top of the mountain, Li Shan looked at the army marching along the Jing River with amazement. This was a magnificent scene that could not be described in any film or television work.
Although the distance is a little far away, and the heavy snow has just stopped, so that the ground is muddy and not filled with smoke and dust, the galloping army horses, the long bugles sounding from time to time, the endless army ranks, and the boats accompanying the army on the Jinghe River are all... It gave Li Shan extreme shock.
Zhu Wei took two steps forward and said, "Dalang guessed it right, he is indeed the King of Qin."
"That day in Pingkangfang, I suddenly heard that the Tang army was defeated in Hebei, and someone shouted that the sage should ask the King of Qin to attack it..." Li Shan clicked his tongue and said, "I heard that the King of Qin was invincible in every battle. Qi Bo, is this really true?"
These days, Li Shan and Zhu Wei often chatted about the situation of the court. Li Shan did it deliberately because he accidentally fell into the whirlpool. Although it had no impact at the moment, he couldn't resist his curiosity. On the one hand, it was because future generations would see During the unclear Wude years, on the other hand, Zhu Wei and the Zhu family obviously had something to hide.
Zhu Wei also did this deliberately. He knew that although this young man was abandoned by his biological father, he would never be unknown in the future and would definitely enter an official career.
"Indeed." Zhu Wei snorted. The old man obviously didn't like Li Shimin very much.
Li Shan spied on Zhu Wei's expression and said with a smile: "Not to mention the East Palace, even a saint can't suppress him."
In the past few days, Li Shan had been waiting in Zhujiagou and Dongshan Temple, but he also heard that the Tang army had lost ground in Hebei and the earthquake in Beijing.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, news came from Hebei that Liu Heitai had become the "King of Eastern Han Dynasty", with the title of "Tian Zao" and his capital in Mingzhou.
There was nothing left to do. Except for Li Shimin and Tiance Mansion, as well as Li Xiaogong and Li Jing who were still in Jiangnan, the other military generals were basically defeated by Liu Heita. Brother Xue Wanche was cut off and sent back, which was a big loss.
In this case, Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng could only release the fierce tiger Li Shimin.
"The saint and King Qin led the twelve generals on the left and right, and went to Tiance Mansion to suppress Liu Heita." Zhu Wei said softly: "If we return victoriously..."
"The title of Admiral Tiance is not enough, the saint has to think of another title..." Li Shan smiled and said: "But this doesn't care about our business, right?"
Zhu Wei was stunned for a moment before laughing, "That's natural. By the way, Dongshan Temple has received money for worshiping Buddhas and incense in the past few days, and is preparing to send it away..."
"Didn't we agree on Qi San?" Li Shanshun changed the topic with these words. The secret behind Zhu Wei is not important now.
Regardless of the future, at least for now, I have nothing to do with those nonsense, and I have to limit my gossip.
"No one in the village is willing to take it, and several clan elders complained that I was too greedy." Zhu Wei sighed: "You mother and son first built a house and bought dozens of acres of fertile land..."
The two of them walked down the mountain while chatting. Along the way, many villagers saluted Li Shan respectfully and greeted him affectionately. They no longer looked disgusted with him a month ago.
The transaction between Li Shan and Xuanzang had been completed long ago. As the first temple to be inspected, Dongshan Temple escaped unscathed. Not only was it not abolished, it also became famous for its scriptures. At the end of the year, many dignitaries came to the temple to seek scriptures in person. ...For this reason, Li Shan was still copying scriptures on the night of New Year's Eve, and his hands were almost broken.
When dignitaries come to seek Buddhist scriptures, they naturally have to pay for some incense and money to pay homage to the Buddha... Li Shan, a black-hearted man, doesn't even set a price for Gewürztraminer. If he gives money to pay homage to the Buddha, he will give away a few bowls, and he can only give out a few bowls at most. bowl.
The most important thing is that Zhu Wei inquired about the news the day before yesterday. Along with the King of Qin, there were 3,000 soldiers led by Chang'an Ling Wangxu. Half of these soldiers were recruited due to the dismantling of the temple.
Now that the news of the Tang army's defeat in Hebei spread, Guanzhong was shocked three times a day. Except for some young and strong people in the village, most of the villagers were unwilling to go to the battlefield in Hebei.
You know, today's Tang Dynasty is not the Tang Dynasty that dominates the world and dominates the world. How can Li Shan, who allowed the villagers to escape this disaster, not be loved by the villagers?
"Stone, come on." Li Shan pulled over a seven or eight-year-old boy. It was this boy who stabbed Li Shan with a stick that day. "How is your father today?"
"Bang bang bang." Xiao Shitou knelt on the ground and banged his head three more times, "Daddy can get up now."
"This kid is too honest." Li Shan said with a smile: "Make some meat porridge to nourish your body. I'll go take a look tomorrow."
"I heard that after Wangri, your husband will build a new house. Please let me know in advance." The young man on the side said loudly.
"You're busy!" Zhu Wei responded, turning around and explaining to Li Shan: "This is Liulang, and all the houses in the village were built by him."
"I'm going to bother Sixth Brother then." Li Shan handed him over. There was no construction team in this era. If you want to build a house, you first need to find someone who knows the house, and secondly, you need to be popular and the villagers are willing to help.
After returning home, he went to the brazier to light up the fire. He saw his mother sewing new clothes. Li Shan said casually, "Mom, please sew one for Shi Qi."
The little monk who was drinking tofu nao raised his little face and smiled. His parents died when he was young, and he had to be sent to a temple to survive. However, he has become Li Shan's follower for more than a month.
"You don't have to say it!" Zhu said impatiently, "It's a pity that I couldn't make it to Hebei this time..."
"What did mother say?"
"If Da Lang could go to Hebei this time, he might become an official, and military merit would be the most important in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China." Zhu said regretfully, "It's a pity, but it's hard to say, after all, you haven't stayed as an heir yet."
"After the New Year, you are already seventeen. Although you are not yet a man, you have not yet married a wife... Well, we will wait until you become an official. You can take a concubine first, or buy two maids to serve..."
Li Shan was speechless because he was stuck. A few days ago, he was still thinking about whether he could pick the goods. After all, taking a concubine is just for sex.
As a result, Mrs. Zhu was scolded... Li Shan didn't want to recall the specific description, but only remembered that his mother's standard was that a big butt was good for fertility.
After being stunned for a while, Li Shancai changed the subject and asked tentatively: "Mother, how can a child become an official?"
This is where Li Shan is confused. It seems that both his mother and Zhu Wei are sure that he can successfully serve as an official.
But in this era, although the nine-level Zhongzheng system was completely abolished after the great dictator Sui Wen, the main ways for officials to become officials were through recommendations from superiors and family appointments.
Li Shan has also thought about it these days. Unless his mother has an old relationship by marriage, the most likely way for him is to take the imperial examination. However, four years after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination has not yet been held... It won't wait until the Zhenguan period, right?
Zhu didn't stop her hands and just said: "Just wait, you will get it."
Although his reputation in the village has been completely cleared, and although the patriarch Zhu Wei attaches great importance to his opinions, at home, the Zhu family still regards Li Shan as an ignorant child and believes that there are other reasons for the survival of Dongshan Temple.
Li Shan was speechless. He had made many insinuations in the past few days, but Zhu Wei and his mother always avoided talking about it, guessing that there was something taboo about it.
Please, I am a time traveler... Li Shan is a little upset. It doesn't matter if he is an unknown little person. What if Yang Wenqian is behind Zhujiagou and his mother? He really won't even have tears when the time comes!
Li Shan, who was upset, turned around and glanced at the tofu curd that the young monk was drinking. He scolded: "Seventeen, who taught you that there is sucrose in Gewürztraminer!"
