Chai Shao's father was Chai Shen, the former famous general of the Sui Dynasty, Duke of Julu County. According to the classification of later generations, he was roughly classified into the Guanlong clan.
The Guanlong clan started out as a martial artist. Li Yuan's grandfather Li Hu was one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms at that time. Princess Pingyang's mansion was different from other mansions of aristocratic families. There was a large martial arts field in the backyard.
Li Shan sat boredly on a stone bench, watching Ma Sanbao and Su Dingfang compete there. In terms of reputation, the former was far superior, with his ability to rush into battle and his cunning, but in terms of force, he was far from comparable to Su Dingfang.
Su Dingfang was taciturn and had a steady temperament, but he had been trapped in Zhujiagou for the past few months and had nowhere to use his strength. He had been staying with Li Shan here for the past half month, so he could move his hands and feet.
A stick knocked Ma Sanbao over again. Su Dingfang saw Li Shan and walked over and whispered: "The old lady sent Zhu Ba here today...Does the old lady want to visit?"
"Why are you here, mother?" Li Shan was a little strange. After thinking about it, he waved his hand and said, "It's inconvenient to come."
If you are an aboriginal, you will naturally obey your mother's orders. In this era, there is no such thing as obeying your son even if your husband dies.
Sometimes, Li Shan also thought that Zhu's strength and various arrangements for his only son should be due to Li Dewu's abandonment of his wife and son.
However, as a time traveler, Li Shan has his own plans for the path he will take in the future, and he will never listen to Zhu.
Over there, Ma Sanbao got up, came over and chatted for a few words before leaving. Su Dingfang smiled and sent him out before returning.
"There is no need for this." Li Shan glanced at Ma Sanbao's back, "I will make my own plans in the future."
Su Dingfang lowered his voice and said: "Princess Pingyang is loved by Your Majesty. Chai Gong is among the Twelve Generals. He is impartial in the court. Ruo Huairen..."
Su Dingfang's meaning was obvious. Now that he was in the Middle East Palace and the King of Qin was seizing the throne, Li Shan took this opportunity to cling to Princess Pingyang... he could naturally avoid those troubles.
With the grace of saving his life, even if Li Shan's life experience is revealed, what can the Hedong Pei family do?
Can’t Princess Pingyang stop it?
Su Dingfang saw clearly that Princess Pingyang was not just a princess who was favored by her father and whose husband frequently performed meritorious services in Li Tang.
"You're right." Li Shan stood up and trembled at the corner of his mouth, "It's really unimaginable... but that's why."
In the past few days, more and more people have come to visit us. The Guanlong clan, the Li Tang clan, the mother clan Dou clan, the East Palace, the Prince of Qin's Mansion, and the aristocratic families headed by the Five Surnames and Seven Families are all coming in an endless stream, almost The threshold is about to be crossed.
Chai Shao welcomed guests outside, and the female family members were introduced to the backyard. As a doctor, Li Shan was always in the backyard, and the fragrance filled his nose all day long... He met countless female family members, and even met Ms. Zhang, the mother of Miss Cui.
Hey, Mrs. Zhang showed a polite smile to Li Shan... but her face was so distorted that it was impossible to see!
Li Shan increased the weight of Princess Pingyang and his wife again and again in his heart, and in this couple, Princess Pingyang played a leading role.
This is almost the only existence in the feudal era. It has never been seen before or since. No wonder they were buried with military honors in history... Even Wu Zetian and Empress Lu only relied on power.
Li Shan walked around the stone bench, one thought after another flashing through his mind. If Princess Pingyang could fully recover... she would be a key figure affecting Chang'an and even Jingzhao.
During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin secretly reported that the prince and the King of Qi had committed adultery in the harem. Li Yuan decided to call for everyone to agree on the second day. As a result, the next morning, Li Shimin led the trusted generals of the Tiance Mansion to launch a mutiny and killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji in one fell swoop. He was in the East Palace, ascended the throne as emperor within a month, and respected Li Yuan as the Supreme Emperor.
Both "New Book of Tang" and "Old Book of Tang" describe it this way.
But Li Shan, who traveled back in time before the Xuanwu Gate Incident, could easily see through a key point. The Xuanwu Gate side was fighting to the death, and the armies of the East Palace and Prince Qi's Mansion were attacking the city. The two sides fought so hard that even the Prince of Qin's Mansion was attacked.
And what is Li Yuan doing?
Could it be that Li Yuan expected his three sons to kill you to death and then choose one of them to be the crown prince?
As the founding emperor, Li Yuan had various weaknesses, but he must have a very high political IQ. He could not have imagined that if Li Shimin succeeded, his goal would not be the East Palace but the throne.
Even if Li Jiancheng succeeds, can he suppress the hardcore Li Shimin in Tiance Mansion?
Li Jiancheng will never hand over the possible disposal power to Li Yuan. In that case, once there are changes in Shaanxi East Road and Yizhou Road, is it possible for Li Yuan to throw the blame on Li Jiancheng?
Therefore, no matter who wins or loses in the Xuanwu Gate battle, Li Yuan will definitely be deprived of his position. It is impossible for him not to see this.
Therefore, the only explanation is that Li Yuan was already under control at that time... Well, the history books record that Li Yuan, Pei Ji, Pei Shiju, Chen Shuda and other prime ministers were on a boat swimming in the lake.
Just kidding, what kind of bad mind did Li Yuan have to take a few prime ministers to the lake to blow the wind in the early morning?
The battle at Xuanwu Gate took place in the morning, but Li Shimin's most important move came the night before.
If Li Yuan hadn't been controlled... there would be more than just the Xuanwu Gate in the Imperial City.
After Ling Jing entered Tiance Mansion, he began to deeply explore the distribution of power in the imperial court... Because of the guidance of Li Shan, a time traveler, Ling Jing's research was very targeted.
Now, what Li Shan can be sure of is that the troops deployed in Chang'an City were originally led by Chen Guogong Dou Kang, who was Li Yuan's most trusted relative and never called him by his name, calling him his brother.
After Dou Kang died of illness last year, the imperial army responsible for guarding the imperial city did not have a nominal commander.
The Tang Dynasty followed the old system of Kaihuang. The twelve guards led the troops of Zhechong Mansion. The remaining four guards guarded Chang'an, namely the left prison guard, the right prison guard, the left Qianniu guard, and the right Qianniu guard. The first two were in charge. Among the gate guards, the latter two are the emperor's attendants and ceremonial guards. They are collectively called the "Beiya Imperial Guard" and guard the imperial city.
These four guards... Donggong cannot and dare not interfere, otherwise Li Jiancheng would not have the need to form a Changlin Army.
But no matter how Li Yuan chooses...as long as he doesn't choose a general from the prince's lineage, he is likely to fall into Li Shimin's trap.
There is no way around this. Li Shimin fought all the battles that led to Li Tang's founding of the country. As long as those who made meritorious deeds and stood out... basically served under Li Shimin, even Li Xiaogong and Li Shimin who are still in Jiangnan today. Most of the generals under Li Jing were also Li Shimin's old subordinates.
In other words, as long as Li Shimin gave the order, he would probably be able to control the palace... In this regard, Li Jiancheng must have considered it. In history, Li Jiancheng stuffed in the heroes who accompanied Liu Heita in his conquest... Well , such as Chang He.
Li Shan's eyes flickered and he said in a low voice: "It's different..."
It is indeed different. Historically, in the second year after Dou Kang died of illness, Princess Pingyang also died of illness, which caused Li Yuan's control over the Forbidden Army to decline significantly.
But in this life, Princess Pingyang survived.
In other words, Princess Pingyang is likely to directly control the Bei Ya Forbidden Army in the future and be responsible for guarding the imperial city... She will not care about the life and death of the three brothers, she will only be confused with her father Li Yuan.
Li Shan was thinking in his mind, if Li Shimin wanted to launch the Xuanwu Gate Revolution again like in history, what chances would he have of succeeding?
In the days ahead, one thing is certain.
Princess Pingyang must be the candidate that the East Palace and King Qin work hard to win over... No matter how loyal Princess Pingyang is to Li Yuan, she will inevitably fall into the whirlpool.
Princess Pingyang herself doesn't matter, they are all brothers and sisters. As long as she has no bias, whoever comes to power will have little impact on her.
But what about those under Princess Pingyang?
If Li Shan joins Princess Pingyang at this time... Li Shan's cheeks will bulge. At that time, whether it is the King of Qin or the prince, he will have to make a clear statement.
Who would let go of Li Shan, who was already famous and helped save Princess Pingyang this time?
Therefore, he has received enough credit this time, but there is no way that Li Shan will join Princess Pingyang.
Thinking of this, Li Shan turned his head, glanced at Su Dingfang apologetically, explained in a low voice and briefly, and then said: "Brother Su, staying behind in the village is really overqualified and underutilized. I'm sorry for you."
Su Dingfang smiled and said, "I would like to be a guard dog."
"Just wait a little longer. There will be a time for Brother Su to boast about his achievements someday."
