In a sense, Li Shan's vision transcends this era. Even famous ministers such as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui who have left their names in history cannot compare with him. This is determined by his status as a time traveler.

But I have to admit that Li Shan is destined to never be able to fully integrate into this era in his life. For example, countless people find it difficult to understand why he must cut off Cui Bo's head with his own hands. Another example is that now Ling Jing and Ma Zhou see through it at a glance, and Li Shan Good but ignorant.

Ma Zhou looked at Li Shan with strange eyes, "How can Du Fuwei be compared with Luo Yi?"

"Du Fuwei is from Shandong, but he is no more than a bandit, while Luo Yi is from Guanzhong. His father was a former court official and became the general of Zuojianmen."

Li Shan knew about this official position. Zuojianmenfu was one of the Sixteenth Guards of the Sui Dynasty. The leader was the general. General Zuojianmen was his deputy. He was considered a senior officer in the sequence of generals.

"Is it just because the King of Wu was born in a rough family and the King of Yan County was already an official in the previous dynasty?"

"Of course it's much more than that." Ling Jing shook his head and said, "Although the Yunyang Luo family is not a first-class prominent family in Guanzhong, it still has a wide range of connections. His father Luo Rong had made friends with the saint back then."

Ma Zhou interjected: "Li Demou's father was a soldier in Youzhou."

Li Shan recalled this, but he remembered this. Luo Yi surrendered to the Tang Dynasty in the first year of Wude. Of course, it was only a nominal submission. It was at that time that Li Keshi entered the Qin Palace.

"There are many such people." Ma Zhou recounted enthusiastically, "The Wen family in Taiyuan has produced heroes one after another. The three sons of the Wen family were all heroes of the time. The talents of ministers..."

Li Shan suddenly interrupted and asked, "Is this the former Prince of the East Palace, Zhan Shi, who has become an official?"

"That's him." Ling Jing said with a smile: "Li Wenji is also the prince's master for the second time."

The corner of Li Shan's mouth moved and he said in his heart...scored twice?

No, there was a hat trick in people's history.

He was first the teacher of the former prince Yang Yong. A few years ago, he was the teacher of the first prince Li Jiancheng of Li Tang. During the Zhenguan period, he also served as the teacher of the prince Li Chengqian...

The prince killer!

How bad is Li Shimin's brain? Two examples are placed in front of him. He still insists on bringing back Li Gang, who has been in office for many years, to teach Li Chengqian... In the end, he taught a murderer who killed his father. In the end, he couldn't kill anyone but only Li Chengqian. His own prince.

Li Shan was thinking about all this, and Ma Zhou continued: "The three sons of the Wen family, the eldest brother Daya, and the three sons Dayou all followed the sage Taiyuan to join the army. One is the Minister of Huangmen and the other is the Minister of Zhongshu. , both are in high positions."

"It's a pity that Wen Daya resigned from the Huangmen Chamber of Commerce for fear of being criticized by others, and was later transferred to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry. However, Wen Daya died young..."

Li Shan heard something. The Wen family of Taiyuan was very influential in the Li Tang Dynasty. You must know that Huangmen Shilang and Zhongshu Shilang were adjutants of the three provinces. If the time was pushed back a few decades, they could also be regarded as prime ministers.

As for the three sons of the Wen family, Ma Zhou only mentioned two of them. Li Shan smiled and asked: "The remaining one...is serving in Youzhou?"

"Wen Yanbo, served successively as Sima of Youzhou and Governor of Youzhou." Ling Jing nodded and said: "In the third year of Wude, he entered the court and was appointed as the Minister of Zhongshu. In the fifth year of Wude, he was promoted to the position of Minister of Zhongshu."

Li Shan grinned. All three brothers have served or are currently adjutants of the three provinces. They are all really talented ministers... No wonder Luo Yi is so arrogant and confident after entering the court. Du Fuwei really can't compare with him.

"Wen Yanbo and Luo Yi have known each other for many years. After entering the court, they had close contact with the East Palace." Ling Jing said softly: "Wen Daya was transferred to Daxingtai, Shaanxi Province two months ago as Minister of the Ministry of Industry."

Li Shan raised his eyebrows and said, "Serve two masters separately?"

This is very obvious. If Wen Daya was not from Li Shimin, how could he serve as Minister of Industry in Daxingtai, Shaanxi Province, which is the base of Prince Qin's palace?

He was transferred from the Minister of the Ministry of Industry of Central Korea to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry of Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province. His rank, official position, and power were greatly reduced. If he was not Li Shimin's person, how could Wen Daya be willing to do so?

After thinking about it for a while, Li Shan suddenly discovered that this matter had something to do with him. It was Wen Daya who was transferred to Daxingtai of East Shaanxi Province, so the Minister of the Ministry of Industry became vacant, and then Feng Lun, the former Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was transferred to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Ma Zhou said casually: "This is not just an example. In the fourth year of Wude, Liu Heitai raised an army and the brothers Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche were defeated. Later, the King of Qin sent troops and summoned Xue Wanche to Tiance Mansion, and Xue Wanjun followed Luo Yi to the court this time. , has joined the Eastern Palace to serve."

Li Shan touched his chin, feeling somewhat impressed by these two names.

They were both Luo Yi's old subordinates. Li Keshi and Wen Yanbo had entered the court a few years ago. One entered the Qin Palace to lead the army, and the other was close to the East Palace. Obviously, Luo Yi had no obvious preference at that time.

But this time Luo Yi entered the court, it was biased... This was the arm that Li Jiancheng worked hard to win over.

In fact, it is very taboo to do such a thing as a prince... I don't know what Li Yuan was thinking, but he didn't care. Maybe Li Shimin put too much pressure on him?

"In short, although Luo Yi is entering the court for the first time, he has a deep foundation and is the wing of the prince, so he is so domineering?"

"Not only that." Ling Jing shook his head and said, "Half a month ago, the prince recommended him and the sage issued an edict to summon Fanyang County Duke Lu Chisong to be the official of Zhongshushe. His son Lu Chengsi entered the East Palace to lead the order for the prince."

Li Shan suddenly realized, "Fan Yang Lu's family?"

"Fan Yang is in Youzhou!"

"I see..." Li Shan said in a daze, "No wonder, no wonder..."

Luo Yi has been the general manager of Youzhou for nearly ten years. How could he not have friendship with the Lu family of Fan Yang, one of the five surnames and seven families in the territory... The world is in chaos, and Youzhou is close to the Turks. Even for his own safety, the Lu family must make friends. Good Luo Yi.

In other words, Li Jiancheng cited Luo Yi as aid, one was Luo Yi's elite soldiers and generals, the other was Luo Yi's influence in the court, and the third was Fan Yanglu's family.

That's why Luo Yi can be so domineering... Of course, this level of domineering stems from the fact that Luo Yi had to suppress the officials of the Qin Palace after attaching himself to the East Palace, and on the other hand, it also stems from Luo Yi's personal characteristics. .

Ling Jing emphasized his tone and said, "Be careful tomorrow and don't interact with Luo Yi..."

"Don't worry, Uncle Ling!" Li Shan made up his mind and would never let Luo Yi ruin his peaceful and self-reliant character.

Looking at Li Shan who was patting his chest on the promise, Ling Jing sighed softly. He really couldn't rest assured. If I remember correctly, Luo Yi had a conflict with Li Shan before entering Chang'an City when Luo Yi entered the court some time ago.

However, Luo Yi's fellow was narrow-minded and would retaliate. Ling Jing gave a few more instructions... Ma Zhou said at the side: "I'll take a carriage into the city tomorrow."

Li Shan huffed without showing his face. Is this a bit exaggerated?

You must know that in the early Tang Dynasty, not all women of even wealthy families traveled by carriage, many of them traveled by horseback.
