Stepping out of the Tai Chi Palace, Li Shan felt refreshed and walked with a breeze. He thought to himself that it was a good thing that he had reacted that day, otherwise when Li Jing swept Jiangnan, he might have been kicked away by Pei Shiju.
Li Shan knows very well that he now has some weight in front of Li Yuan, but at the critical moment, the emperor will only restore the rationality that an emperor should have and make the choice that is in the best interest of the emperor... Facing the bipolar Hedong Pei Li Shan's current weight is not enough to confront him head-on.
What's more, using such official tactics... How could Li Shan be the opponent of an old bureaucrat like Pei Shiju.
I was thinking about what good positions there would be on Guannai Road and Hedong Road. Li Yuan just mentioned Xu Yishang County... Suddenly, a familiar clear voice sounded in my ears.
Li Shan paused, moved his cheeks, swallowed, and saluted: "Greetings to Cui...Cui...Cui Sheren."
Cui Xin, whose face turned dark, gritted his teeth. He called him Uncle Cui last time, but now he's called Cui Sheren again?
"This is Nan Province..." Li Shan was cautious. There is someone next to you. Do you want me to call you Lord Taishan?
Can you not be careful?
That article "Ai Lian Shuo" was a naked provocation to Cui Xin, a maniac who loves women... Well, a few days ago Li Shan visited Zhang Wenguan who had fallen into the water, and the latter tactfully reminded him that it would be better to avoid his uncle these days.
And the most important thing is that he is leaving Chang'an soon... He will leave after flirting, and wait for Cui Xin to find out... Li Shan feels a little guilty.
"Who is this?" Next to Cui Xin was an old man with gray hair, tall but with sharp eyes.
"This is Duke Fan Yang." Cui Xin pointed out.
"My Excellency, Li Shan, pays homage to the Duke."
Li Shan frequently visited the palace in the past few days, and Li Shan immediately recognized this person. Lu Chisong, from the Lu family in Fanyang, had a good relationship with Li Yuan in his early years. He was granted the title of Duke of Gu'an County. Recently, I was promoted to the Duke of Fanyang County... and I was given the title of Duke of the County. This is a rare favor.
Just last night, Ling Jing also mentioned that the saint's favor to Lu Chisong was related to the East Palace's win over the Fanyang Lu family... This was also the result of the complicated relationship between the royal family and the clan, who were both vigilant and had to rely on each other.
Lu Chisong looked at Li Shan with admiration and said with a smile: "It's not enough that he is so handsome, but he is even more talented in poetry."
Li Shan is a bit... Every time he hears others praising his talent as a poet, he always feels a little uncomfortable and feels like he is being ridiculed.
"I received a letter from Erlang in March. The song "Moonlight Night on the Spring River" is shocking. Not long ago, "The Love of Lotus" was refreshing."
"Thank you for the compliment, Duke." Li Shan looked a little shy. He knew that the Erlang in the other person's mouth was referring to Lu Chengji.
"Such a talent can be called Badou."
Li Shan really couldn't bear it now... Although he felt that the sum total of Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, He Zhizhang, and Meng Jiao definitely exceeded Badou.
Lu Chisong smiled and looked at Cui Xin: "What a good eye."
Cui Xin's face, which had just improved, turned dark again... In the first list drawn up by him and his wife, Lu Chisong's fourth son, Lu Chengye, ranked very high.
The Cui family of Qinghe had the most marriages within the seven families of the five surnames. Apart from the Li family of Longxi, the one with the most marriages was the Lu family of Fanyang. Cui Xin's deceased wife was from the Lu family of Fanyang... As soon as Lu Chisong said this, it was basically locked up. this road.
Although he had expected it, Cui Xin was still quite unhappy and glared at Li Shan... you little bastard!
After Lu Chisong left, Cui Xin pulled Li Shan to the corner and asked: "What do you want to do?!"
Li Shan hesitated for a while, then cupped his hands and said: "The so-called love for lotus is really a coincidence... but the article "On Love of Lotus" was written on the way north the year before last."
"Of course I know it's a coincidence!" Cui Xin waved his hands angrily, "But regarding this matter... remember that Cui Hao doesn't get along with you... that's all. Cui Hao is easy to talk about, but Cui Bo..."
Li Shan remained silent. Judging from the current situation, as soon as "The Story of Ai Lian" came out, he almost took Miss Cui into his arms. The sage Li Yuan was also happy to see this scene. At most, Luo Yi would interfere... The problem was that he had Scolding everyone in front of Qinghe and beheading Cui Bo, the Cui clan members probably didn't want to see this scene.
At this moment, Cui Xin had no bearing. He babbled over and over for a long time, then glanced at Li Shan, who was standing there quietly, "Luo Yi is used to being cunning, so he needs to be careful."
"Thank you Uncle Cui."
Cui Xin snorted, now there was no outsider, and he changed from Cui Sheren to Cui Uncle again.
Li Shan smiled and said: "Ling Gong has repeatedly reminded my nephew not to provoke the Yunyang Luo family... but he should behave accordingly."
"Of course, since you are invited to visit the garden, it is inevitable that you will have a quarrel with the Luo family."
After hearing these words, Cui Xin's cheeks moved, but he also knew that those little tricks could not be hidden from the young man in front of him... Luo Yang had intentions, and if Li Shan did not retreat, there would inevitably be a conflict.
However, Cui Xin did not expect that Li Shan's sudden rise after retreating repeatedly would be so sharp... But when he turned around and thought about it, this was very consistent with Li Shan's behavior before and after Cui Bo was killed to quell the civil rebellion.
"In a few days, there will be a few more poems that I want my uncle to appreciate."
Before leaving, Li Shan thought about it and deliberately left a message... It should not be long before Cui Xin knew that he had been released accidentally.
Cui Xin looked at Li Shan's leaving back, his brows furrowed, he was a little worried... It had been several days, and Luo Yi had done nothing. You must know that Luo Yi had never lost such a big face after entering Beijing.
Well, a person like Luo Yi is arrogant about his strength and cunning. He is so domineering and has no room for disgrace in his eyes. How could he not take revenge... In fact, he had already planned it.
East Palace, Xiande Hall.
Prince Li Jiancheng, who was sitting on the main seat, had a solemn expression on his face, listening attentively to the talks of several close aides... He was not involved in government affairs, he was just talking about history and using the past as a metaphor for the present.
But this history is a bit recent.
Wei Zheng raised his voice and said: "In the first year of the founding of the Emperor, King Fangling conferred the crown prince. He was studious by nature, good at poetry, generous and gentle. He also had the means to support the army and supervise the country. He had been in charge of the East Palace for twenty years, but was abandoned by Emperor Wen. Your Highness thought, Why did King Fangling end up like this?"
Li Jiancheng said sternly: "I once heard Master Li say that the imperial weapons of Fangling are not of the highest quality, and his nature is ordinary. However, if he can be tutored by wise people, he will be able to inherit the imperial industry."
Master Li in this sentence refers to Li Gang, who has already become an official. The first person this prince killer killed was the former Sui prince Yang Yong.
"That's right. Li Wenji was the only one who had a good ear here." Wei Zheng nodded and said, "Although the rest are good at literature and poetry, their conduct is despicable, which makes King Fangling like fishing and extravagance."
There was a smile on Li Jiancheng's lips, and he nodded: "What you said is absolutely true. Today, everyone in the Xiande Hall is virtuous."
In this regard, Li Jiancheng was more restrained, but Li Yuan would not go into details. He was almost sixty years old and still worked hard every night. In the past few years, there were new babies in the palace almost every two months.
Li Shimin was not much better in this regard. In addition to the princess, there were as many as six officially concubines in the Qin Palace, all of whom had exceeded the prince's system.
Wei Zheng looked solemn and added: "He is fond of fishing, loves extravagance, and is not the image of a wise king. But the most important thing is that no one warned him, which made King Fangling do something beyond his bounds. As the saying goes, Yin Jian is not far away. In the era of Queen Xia .”
Li Jiancheng nodded repeatedly. He understood Wei Zheng's tactful advice. The former Sui Prince Yang Yong was displeased by his father, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, because he exceeded the etiquette rules and accepted the worship of hundreds of officials. From then on, the rift between father and son laid the foundation for disaster.
