It has already entered summer, but because it has not yet reached the scorching summer, the weather is not yet hot. Li Yuan, who was slightly drunk, took a few people for a walk outside the hall and asked about everything at will. This is what parents who want to keep hello, me, and everyone hope most. Keep the scene.
Unfortunately, Li Shan discovered that the relationship between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin returned to the usual state... The words seemed plain, but in fact they were the shadow of swords.
After listening attentively for a while, Li Shan could only hear Li Jiancheng's gentle attitude towards the foreign invasion... He just came to rob property and give them property.
But Li Shimin was not only thinking about fighting against foreigners, but also thinking about crossing the Great Wall.
This is a difference in personality, but it is also determined by the butt... If Li Tang wants to start a war with foreigners, there is no doubt that Li Shimin can completely suppress Li Jiancheng.
Li Shan couldn't help but wonder in his heart that Li Jiancheng's mentality... might be a bit like being a foreign invader.
Wandering in the back garden, Li Yuan was in the front talking to Princess Pingyang, while the two brothers behind were going back and forth with swords and swords, and Li Shan was at the end... His thoughts turned to Pei Shiju.
Even if Pei Shiju knew it, what would he do?
If it were Li Shan two years ago, Pei Shiju could easily expel or even kill him, but today's Li Shan's weight is no longer something Pei Shiju can handle casually.
In the Sui Dynasty, the most commonly used method among political opponents was slander and death... The two emperors of the Sui Dynasty who had seized power due to their relatives were ruthless. They would rather let me betray the world than let the world betray me... If there was a mistake in killing, I would not let it go. .
This is how Li Dewu's uncle Li Jincai fell.
But this does not apply to Li Shan... On the one hand, it lies in the relationship between Li Shan and the royal family. There are those who are gentle, those who have a close relationship, those who receive his favor, and those who even communicate secretly. .
On the other hand, Pei Shiju himself was able to rank as Prime Minister due to his status as a former famous official of the Sui Dynasty, but in fact, neither the power in his hands nor the influence on Li Yuan was strong.
Li Shan thought about it, and the most likely reason was suppression from the officialdom... Fortunately, I didn't go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs for an examination, otherwise I might have been sent to Jiannan or Yizhou.
And this kind of suppression is unlikely for Pei Shiju himself... Pei Ji does have this weight, but this kind of thing has not yet been made public. It is also a question whether Pei Shiju will tell Pei Ji.
Li Shan's heart gradually calmed down. Even if Pei Shiju knew about it, it would be difficult to cause direct harm to him... He even looked forward to what would happen to this famous official who left different marks on various dynasties in history. trick.
Just as he was thinking about these messy things, Li Shan suddenly stopped and his eyes fell on the flowers not far away from the trail. They were several half-person-high plants, not many green leaves, but there were a few among the branches. The white flowers look like a ball of cotton wool from a distance.
Li Shan got excited, lifted up the hem of his clothes, walked into the flowers one step at a time, and circled around the plants twice... It looked a bit like it, but he wasn't sure. Cotton was not grown in the village in his previous life.
When was cotton introduced to China in history... Li Shan had no memory of this at all.
But Huang Daopo of the Yuan Dynasty remembered it... This shows that a large amount of cotton was probably planted in the Song Dynasty. Did it also exist in the Tang Dynasty?
Li Shan was a little excited. He rubbed his hands together, and his palms were covered with sweat. He wondered if he could survive just digging them up and sending them back to the village. He had never handled this thing before.
Or stay here and grab it in a few months?
I remember it is an annual herb...
Over there, Li Yuan sighed: "Although Huairen is young, he is talented and ranks first among the Jinshi. I thought I was determined to make progress, but unexpectedly I know how to make progress and retreat."
Princess Pingyang pursed her lips and smiled, but did not speak. She knew that her father was referring to throwing Li Shan to teach at the Imperial Medical Office, but the other party looked indifferent and had not even gone to the Ministry of Civil Service to take an exam.
Li Yuan purposely did not give the post directly that day. He originally thought that Li Shan would be unable to sit still. Unexpectedly, Li Shan enthusiastically taught at the Imperial Medical Office and did not feel left out at all.
However, Princess Pingyang secretly speculated that perhaps what Li Shan did was related to the current struggle between the East Palace and the King of Qin to seize the legitimate son... Obviously, both the eldest brother and the second brother had a special regard for this young man.
"After the battle with Sichang, if we can come back with a great victory..." Li Yuan nodded, "Let Huairen enter the Six Divisions to experience first... Huairen?"
Li Yuan turned around and asked in shock: "Where is Huairen?"
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw that there was nothing behind them...Li Shimin still had sharp eyes and pointed at the flowers dozens of steps away, "Why are you there picking flowers?!"
"In the past, I only thought that young people are mature, but unexpectedly they also have a young heart." Li Yuan stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Is it possible that Cui's daughter likes flowers?"
"Ahem." Princess Pingyang coughed twice, "Father promised before that this matter will not be leaked."
Li Yuan snorted and beckoned Li Shan, who was trotting away, to come closer, "If Huairen likes it, I can dig it up and take it back tomorrow."
Li Shan was overjoyed, "My uncle is so generous. My nephew only wants this... and gives it all to me?"
"Digging them all up!" Li Yuan glanced at the flowers in Li Shan's hand, "Don't Huairen like peonies?"
Li Jiancheng on the side smiled and said: "That day, I chanted peonies in Pingkangfang, and the poem was completed in a moment. It spread throughout Chang'an and was praised by everyone."
Li Shanqian laughed a few times... It can't be said that he was forced to the corner that time, that is, after that time, he cowered in the village and refused to stand out.
There are so many flowers in the world, but I can't remember so many... At least peonies, I only remember two songs in total, and this has already used up one. When the peonies bloom next year, I have to hide in advance.
After joking for a while, Li Yuan waved his hand and said: "Whether it's a ban on alcohol or heavy taxes, Huairen's wine shop is just afraid..."
Li Jiancheng said: "But you can still drink today. I heard that Xuancheng is hosting a banquet today and inviting you?"
"Yes, Brother Xuancheng invites you." Li Shan forced out a smile and glanced at him from the corner of his eye. Li Shimin's expression did not change at all.
"After this battle, Huairen will go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs for selection." Li Yuan nodded and said, "After that, he can join the Sixth Ministry for training."
The smile on Li Shan's face was a bit unsustainable. The six departments of the Sui and Tang Dynasties were not the six departments of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The six departments at this time were directly under the jurisdiction of the Shangshu Province.
Although Li Shimin was an official in Shangshu Ling and was a major participant in military and state affairs, most of the power in Shangshu Province was actually in the hands of Shangshu Zuopu She Pei Ji.
This is equivalent to saying that he is afraid that Pei Shiju will not be able to deal with him when he delivers food to his door!
Li Shan's forehead was sweating... I was still thinking just now, Pei Shiju couldn't suppress me directly, but now it's okay, Li Yuan wants to send me directly to Pei Ji!
If you really go to Liubu, there are many ways for people to find faults... You can pick out the problems casually, so you might as well ask to go to Lingnan on your own initiative.
Li Yuan, I saved your daughter, but you want to kick me into the mud... Thinking again that this guy leaked the information about Miss Cui, Li Shan felt great hatred, you bastard, repay kindness with revenge!
"Uncle, my nephew has not been crowned yet..." Li Shan hesitated and said, "No hurry, no hurry."
Li Yuan frowned and said: "The top list of Jinshi has not yet been awarded, and there are already rumors in the public."
Princess Pingyang remained silent while Li Jiancheng tried to persuade her.
And Li Shimin, who had remained silent from beginning to end, wanted to laugh...of course he knew why Li Shan looked like this.
Big brother, you have been gentle and courteous again and again, and you have tried to recruit him again and again. From giving him the name Yuhuchun, to recommending him to diagnose and treat the third sister, and now, you have actually chased Li Huairen away again and again... ...Are you afraid that he won’t hate you?
