Today Li Dewu has been staying in the county government office. He has no staff, only a few followers, and is not well-informed.
Li Kai set off from Guantao City a few days ago, and Li Shan told him privately... It is necessary to make a name for himself, so I don't need to talk about other things, but I can mention the great victory in Wei County. Anyway, Li Shan himself has no idea of taking credit for it.
Pei Shiju, who had already listened to Pei Ji's gossip, smiled and said, "What a young hero. I just don't know which house in Longxi he is from?"
Pei Ji sighed: "This matter has been spread in the capital today. The prince has inquired several times and intends to introduce him to the East Palace. It just so happened that I heard that this son was going south with Chang'an's order, so I summoned you to ask."
Damn the children of the Li family in Longxi... Li Dewu said without hesitation: "Juniors heard that this son has made friends with the children of the Prince of Qin's family, and he has also been praised by the King of Qin. I'm afraid..."
As he spoke, Li Dewu burst out with strong jealousy and hatred.
Why?
The praise from the King of Qin was not enough, he actually wanted to call the prince as his wing? !
I spent so much thought, time, dignity, and looked up to others like a dog before I could enter the East Palace. Why can you achieve the same goal so easily?
Never allow it, never allow it...I will never allow you to enter the East Palace!
At this moment, Li Dewu's heart was filled with all kinds of turbulent and vicious emotions. No matter what, this matter must be stopped!
If Li Shan, who was still in Hebei at this time, could hear his heartfelt voice... he would definitely applaud and encourage him. Well done, great done, awesome done, this is what you have to do!
Otherwise, how could I refuse the invitation from the Crown Prince and Wei Xuancheng?
In a moment, Li Dewu had already revealed all the information he had gathered all these days. He was good at calculations but managed business affairs. Entering the East Palace would definitely tarnish the reputation of the prince.
He made good friends with the descendants of the Qin Prince. It is said that they often gathered for drinks and won the praise of the Qin King. This time he helped Li Daoxuan, Tian Liu'an and Qi Shanxing defeat Liu Heitai, so he must have joined the Qin King's command.
This is also the most difficult thing for Li Dewu to understand. Is that Li Shan really the Li Shan he knows?
He knows shit about arithmetic, shit about medicine, and shit about warfare!
Since I was a child, I have never been good at writing or martial arts. I only know how to play!
Even Li Dewu said without hesitation, "According to the county official, this boy has no knowledge of classics and history, and is only slightly literate."
Well, this is true. Li Shan's predecessor really didn't have much knowledge, but isn't this a different person?
Moreover, today Li Kai has made a name for his friend, and with the help of Wang Renbiao, Changsun Chong, Gao Jixiong and others, Li Shan's name has already become famous in Beijing.
Wei Zheng and Wei Ting strongly recommended him, and Prince Li Jiancheng consulted twice. Many of Li Shan's details have been revealed.
"Actually, this person also had a grudge against the Prince of Qin's Palace. He had an enmity with Duke Ming and beat up many of the descendants of the Prince of Qin's Palace." Pei Ji said nonchalantly: "This is probably the case for the disciples of high-ranking families. In Danyang House, Longxi, Pharmacist Li is loyal to the saint. Li Ke The teacher entered the Prince of Qin's Palace, and Li Qianyou became an official in the Prince of Qi's Palace."
The two people around him were complaining.
Li Dewu secretly cursed... what a bullshit high-class kid, as I said just now, he doesn't know the classics and history!
This guy is really good at flattering, and he went to the Danyang room of Li Family in Longxi!
And Pei Shiju thought helplessly, can he see others but not himself?
Danyangfang was divided into three servants, and when Hedong heard about Pei's family, he placed all his treasures on Donggong!
In fact, Pei Shiju originally planned to send Li Dewu to the Qin Palace... This plan had been hidden in his heart and had not yet been implemented. As a result, Li Dewu took the initiative to enter the East Palace.
Of course, it went so smoothly... mainly because Li Shan desperately pushed Li Dewu up.
The situation is now clear. Li Shan asked Li Kai to make a name for himself in Beijing. The weight of this chess piece has become heavier and heavier. Even Pei Ji and Pei Shiju have noticed him.
Planning and planning to help the Tang army defeat Liu Heitai in a desperate situation. If he was a small official with some background, he would be enough to become a prince... Li Shimin didn't care, since he had already hooked up with him anyway.
But Li Jiancheng felt he was qualified to recruit.
Firstly, Wei Ting had known Li Shan for a long time and admired him very much. Secondly, Wei Zheng was very close to him and had a good relationship with him.
Pei Ji, who was having a discussion with Li Jiancheng this afternoon, could already hear what the former said... If he could be summoned as his disciples, Li Daoxuan, Tian Liu'an, and Qi Shanxing would be just generals. The ones with real great achievements are actually these. What a young man!
If Li Shan's contribution to the victory in Wei County could be confirmed, even if it was not too much, Li Jiancheng would not even hesitate to grant this young man a title for him who had not yet served as an official... as long as the people from the Prince of Qin's Mansion did not take away all the benefits.
If Li Shimin knew that Li Jiancheng thought this way... he would probably laugh out loud.
Brother, they dug several holes and tricked you into this, and you still want to recruit him under your command?
Are you afraid that he will cheat you to death?
In fact, at this moment, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Changsun Wuji were all worried. If Li Jiancheng offered too many benefits, there was no guarantee that Li Shan would not change his family.
But Li Shimin is not worried at all. Is it possible that his eldest brother will be able to offend Li Dewu... and then the Hedong Pei family in the future?
Li Dewu in the room was full of hatred and frustration, and was about to retreat when he heard Pei Ji asking Pei Shiju, "Third brother, are there any girls of the right age in the clan?"
Li Dewu was shocked... They were father and son before, could they possibly be married in the future?
If you choose someone with a higher seniority, maybe you can even call each other brother-in-law!
But this is also common. Rich families often use in-laws to win over scholars. Pei Shiju was not surprised. He thought for a while and then said: "There are no girls of suitable age in the West House of Dependents, but there may be some in the Washing House and East House of Dependents."
Most women in this era get married when they are twelve or thirteen years old. They have to prepare for marriage for at least one to two years. It is really hard to choose for a while.
Pei Ji immediately shook his head, "Let's talk about it then."
Later generations said that the Pei family in the world was one family, but in fact they often got involved.
Later, the famous general Pei Xingjian during the Gaozong period was born in the middle family house, but he did not get along with Pei Yan, the prime minister of the horse washing house. The latter slandered Pei Xingjian, who made great achievements, and was only granted the title of county Duke.
At this moment, there were rapid footsteps outside, and Pei Xuanji, the legitimate son of Pei Shiju, ran quickly with a confused look on his face.
"Fifth uncle, the palace attendants are here, and the saint is summoning you."
Pei Ji was surprised. It was already dusk. He was summoned at this time. What happened?
Pei Shiju caught a glimpse of the expression on his son's face, "Da Lang, what happened?"
"The report of the Hebei war, the envoy shouted in front of the palace, has already spread." Pei Xuanji said in a daze: "Huaiyang King Li Daoxuan, Weizhou...er, Luozhou General Manager Cheng Mingzhen led his army to pursue and captured Liu Hei alive by the Yongji Canal. Ta."
"What?!"
Pei Ji suddenly jumped up from the mat, "Liu Heitai was captured alive?"
"It was true that Liu Heitai was captured alive, but Cheng Mingzhen, the general manager of Luozhou, beheaded him."
Pei Ji's expression changed drastically, and he didn't even say hello. He disappeared from Pei Shiju's eyes in the blink of an eye. The latter sighed softly, "The King of Qin is really good at it."
Apparently, to others, this was a coincidence.
But in the view of old fox Pei Shiju, this is Li Shimin's method.
