Chang'an County Government.
Li Dewu, who was sitting in the side hall, looked slightly haggard... It was impossible not to be haggard. After hearing the news that day, he found an opportunity to go to the Foreign Affairs Bureau of Shangshu Province and looked at it carefully. The name at the top of the list was written one by one. Plan, no mistakes.
Li Dewu was confused that day, how could it be possible?
How can it be?
Li Dewu's face is ferocious... If he can write this song "Spring River with Flowers and Moonlight Night", I might as well wipe his neck and pull him down!
But then Li Dewu heard someone reciting that song... In the past, he was so dirty that it is not enough to boast, but now his dissolute thoughts have no limit.
The spring breeze is so proud that the horse's hooves are so fast that I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.
Like Li Kai and Wang Renbiao, Li Dewu quickly took on the role of "the dirty old days."
The next day, Li Shan became famous in Pingkangfang, and those eight poems spread throughout Chang'an City, plus the "Wing Chun" poem at the end of the previous year and the pseudonyms of Li Bai and Li Taibai... Li Dewu couldn't sleep all night these days.
Li Dewu once heard Wei Xuancheng mention it again and again in the East Palace... Li Huairen was a thoughtful, well-mannered man who planned every strategy and had a long-term vision.
Then...then Li Dewu began to wonder if he had fallen into Li Shan's trap because he had tried so hard to fill up all the seats in the Mingjing and Mingshu subjects, leaving only the Jinshi subjects?
Well, this is a bit overthinking... If he wasn't forced, Li Shan really didn't want to be famous for his poetry. I don't know how much effort he would have to make up for it in the future.
During these days, Li Dewu couldn't sleep all night long, and the days were miserable day by day... On the one hand, Li Shan became famous for his poetic talent, and on the other hand, Li Shan became famous and made friends with many children from aristocratic families, regardless of For what reason, he ordered the closure of Yuhuchun Winery. Will Li Shan fall out?
Once they fall out...then everything will be over. Li Shan doesn't need to do much. He only needs to reveal his life experience. Li Dewu's most important future will almost be blocked.
Li Dewu didn't dare to gamble, so the day before yesterday, after the news was confirmed, he personally took people to open the door of Yuhuchun Winery.
The descendants of the Wang family in Taiyuan, including Wang Renyou, who was favored by the eldest princess of the dynasty, were all beaten like this. It is said that they vomited three liters of blood!
What if Li Shan encouraged the King of Huaiyang to attack the Chang'an County government...but he couldn't accuse the other party of being disobedient, so the beating would be in vain!
"Sir, distinguished guests from outside are here to visit. Mingfu invites you to come."
When a minor official reported it, Li Dewu rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "Who is visiting?"
The clerk lowered his head and whispered: "Zhongshu's minister, Duke Ying."
Li Dewu took a deep breath and cursed a few times, but he didn't feel guilty when facing Yu Wenshiji.
People are divided into good and evil. In other words, Li Dewu also knew that it was wrong for him to abandon his wife and children and should be condemned... Even if he did it again, he would still do it.
Therefore, Li Dewu would always feel guilty to some extent when facing anyone, but he didn't feel guilty at all when facing Yu Wenshiji...
Well, I'm a scumbag.
But, so are you.
"The lower official pays homage to the Ming Mansion and pays homage to Duke Ying."
Li Qianyou, who was sitting in the first place, smiled and exchanged greetings. His eyes flickered back and forth between Yu Wenshi, who was smiling but not smiling, and Li Dewu, who was expressionless.
The Danyang House of the Li family in Longxi was also famous in the Sui Dynasty. Li Jing's father Li Quan and Li Qianyou's father Li Weijie were both governors, prefects, and county princes. Naturally, they knew about the grudges between Shen Guogong's lineage and Yu Wenshu.
Yu Wenshiji's eyes were strange, and he chuckled: "How can a title be commensurate with the title of an acquaintance?"
Li Dewu's cheeks moved, and he reluctantly cupped his hands and said, "Brother."
Li Qianyou on the side couldn't stand it anymore. The whole family of Shen Guogong who was harmed by Yuwen Shiji and Yu Wenshu were in great misfortune. Li Dewu was exiled to Lingnan for more than ten years. It has been more than two years since he returned to Chang'an. He still remembers it now. It's time to become friends.
"The broken mirror is reunited, and we are happy to have Lin'er again." Yu Wenshi smiled and said, "I feel guilty that I didn't even send a congratulatory gift to my brother."
Before Li Dewu could speak, the superior Li Qianyou looked at the door in surprise and waved, "Huairen entered the city today?"
Li Dewu's face changed greatly, and he turned around suddenly and saw Li Shan smiling and saluting outside the door, "Uncle, today the Duke of Ying is summoned, otherwise I would not dare to enter the city, and I will already be empty."
Li Qianyou laughed and said: "Who made you famous in Pingkangfang in one day? Countless poems are all exquisite."
These days, Li Shan really doesn't dare to enter Chang'an City. Not to mention other people, even Li Kai and Wang Renbiao are forcing him... Although there is still a lot of inventory, it must be kept for use!
Of course, what I’m most afraid of is participating in a poetry meeting. If someone decides on a rhyme... I can’t keep thinking about it by myself, right?
Li Dewu gritted his teeth, when did Li Shan hook up with Yu Wenshiji... His mind changed and he immediately remembered that he happened to meet Princess Nanyang when he went to Dongshan Temple.
Could it be that Li Shan used some trick to encourage Yu Wenshiji to cause trouble for him... No, if that was the case, it was a disobedient act after all, and this traitor would definitely not show up.
Watching Li Shan, Li Qianyou, and Yu Wenshiji exchanging greetings, Li Dewu quietly retreated to the corner, staring at Li Shan with twinkling eyes, occasionally glancing at Yu Wenshiji.
Although it is not clear what happened...but it is certain that Yu Wenshiji summoned Li Shan, most likely for himself.
Could it be that Yuwen Shiji knew something?
Li Shan probably wouldn't tell the truth, which would do him no good.
Li Dewu thought in his mind that Li Shan looked very similar to himself when he was young. Is this the reason?
After listening for a moment in the corner, Li Dewu suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness deep in his heart. How sad!
Listen to what they talked about, listen to the names they mentioned... I returned to Chang'an, which I dreamed of, and abandoned my wife, son, and even my dignity. But so far, I am just a Chang'an county captain, and I have no place in the Pei family. Pei Shiju valued him so much that he was not respected by his servants. He treated almost everyone with respect in the outside world!
But Li Shan was able to make friends with so many people... the children of the Li family in Longxi, the Wang family in Taiyuan, the Yang family in Hongnong, the Lu family in Fanyang, the Liu family in Hedong, the Du family in Jingzhao, as well as Wei Zheng, Wei Ting, Li Doxuan...
In other words, when it comes to rebuilding his family, which is what Li Dewu values most, Li Shan can do much better than him.
Li Shan already had considerable influence in Chang'an City, while Li Dewu was still an insignificant pawn.
Li Dewu felt deep sadness.
At this time, Yu Wenshiji turned around and said with a smile: "I haven't introduced you yet, but this is Chang'an County Lieutenant Li Dewu, the son-in-law of the provincial minister Pei Xiangkuai."
Li Shan looked calm and chuckled, "A few months ago, I joined the army with my uncle and went south to Shaanxi Province. On the way, I met Li County Lieutenant, who is actually the son-in-law of Prime Minister Pei. He is indeed a talented person."
"I dare not take it seriously." Li Dewu felt that his face froze.
"Dewu is the descendant of Duke Shen of the former Sui Dynasty. He is from a high-ranking family and has both civil and military skills. Otherwise, why would he be chosen by Prime Minister Pei?" Yu Wenshiji laughed and said, "There is still a small matter today that requires Dewu to complete."
Li Dewu took a deep breath and said, "Brother Renren, please give me your instructions."
Turning his eyes, Li Dewu saw Li Qianyou who looked puzzled, and Li Shan who looked pity.
