In the private room on the second floor of Dongshan Restaurant, Li Shan sat by the window, playing with a small wine cup in his hand, and glanced unconsciously outside the window, obviously absent-minded.
There had been such a big fuss in Furong Garden before, which had ruined Yunyang Luo's face, and because of the article "The Story of Love Lotus" and Miss Cui, there was quite a discussion in the public, so Li Shanben wanted to be more honest before releasing it outside.
But unexpectedly, Li Yuan suddenly gave Princess Pingyang the power to control the Beiya Imperial Army. Although Li Shan was a little confused, Ling Jing and Ma Zhou both advised him not to retreat into the village, but to maintain normalcy.
Early this morning, Li Shan went to the Imperial Medical Office to teach as usual. Now more than a month has passed, and the second batch of students is about to graduate, but there are few opportunities to practice. He is planning to take both batches of people away... If it is in Hedong Road , serving in Guannaidao, there should be no shortage of opportunities to practice, and at the same time, he can also serve as a personal guard.
Li Shan thought silently in his heart. The storm fanned by his time-traveling butterfly was getting bigger and bigger. From Li Jiancheng's failure to pacify Hebei to Princess Pingyang's control of the Beiya Imperial Army... Li Shimin had gains and losses, although he was seizing the throne. They have the upper hand, but if they can't move into the East Palace smoothly, there will be one more obstacle to the Xuanwu Gate incident again.
Li Shan thought repeatedly, had Li Shimin started planning the Xuanwu Gate change at this time?
At this time, the door was pushed open, and Li Kai entered first and said with a smile: "Huairen was famous in Shandong at first, and then became a sensation in Chang'an. Now where do you want to show your skills?"
Li Shan stood up and saluted, "I also need help from brother Demou."
"Yesterday Siyi promised, and it should be here soon." Li Kai closed the door, hesitated, took a few steps forward, and whispered: "Can I ask your noble lord about this matter?"
Li Shan nodded slightly... In fact, he had no intention of communicating with Li Shimin about this matter. However, Ling Jing decided to inform him a few days ago. Li Shimin had no objection and only said that he would have a secret meeting before leaving.
Li Kai breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Li Keshi belonged to Tiance Mansion, and the relationship between Li Shan and the King of Qin... He was a few insiders, and was even a participant in Li Shimin's team-up with Li Shan in planning the Shandong war. Naturally, he didn't want to See Li Shan staying away.
After chatting for a few words, Li Shan glanced out the window and saw Yang Siyi dismounting from his horse, then stood up and prepared to greet him.
Li Kai joked: "I have never seen Huairen like this before."
"Since I have something to ask for, I can't avoid it." Li Shan laughed. He has never been a conceited person.
Li Kai said nothing more and stood up to greet him, thinking in his mind why his friend asked to be released this time... But no matter what, Huairen should have no other choice when Li Dewu entered the East Palace.
Yang Siyi, who walked up to the second floor, looked at Li Kai and Li Shan who came out to greet them in surprise, "Why is this?"
One is a young celebrity who is famous in Chang'an and is regarded as a nephew by the saints, and the other is a younger brother of the Danyang family of the Li family in Longxi. Although Yang Siyi was born in the Yang family of Hongnong, and his father was an official in the imperial court...but such specifications are still a bit exaggerated.
"Huairen wants to ask for something, so he must be attentive." Li Kai smiled and took Yang Siyi's arm and led him into the private room.
Li Shan had a gentle smile on his face and only nodded slightly.
Yang Siyi and Li Shan were Jinshi in the same discipline. They went to Pingkangfang together, drank and talked together, and their friendship was quite good... well, they were a bit like friends. He was one of them when they visited Furong Garden that day.
"Hey, isn't it Yuhuchun?" Yang Siyi just took a sip of wine and said in surprise: "It tastes more pure."
Li Kai laughed and said, "It's a new brew made by a secret technique. The aroma of the wine is even better than that of Yuhuchun. Huairen specially brought it here today."
Li Shan smiled and held up the cup to indicate, "I just drink it for myself and my friends, and I don't want to sell it for money."
"Yes, the sage has issued the "Edict on Prohibition of Slaughter and Preparation of Slaughter." Yang Siyi nodded and said: "However, Yuhuchun is still on sale, but it is heavily taxed, and the price is 30% higher than before."
Ten days ago, the sage Li Yuan issued the "Edict on Prohibition of Slaughtering": "The purpose of sobering up is to show restraint in pleasure. ... However, the indolence of the people, the people who have lost their jobs and their property, the lazy people, who are obsessed with lust, are now in danger. Sir, the war is still going on... the officials and people of the prefectures in the pass should cut off their slaughter and mate."
But at the same time, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development increased the price of liquor, causing countless wine shops in the east and west cities to close down...Wang Renbiao specifically informed that not only did Yuhuchun not go bankrupt, but on the premise of raising the selling price, the shipment volume did not decrease but increased.
After drinking for three rounds, Yang Siyi took the initiative and said: "Brother Demou invited me yesterday... Please don't blame Huairen. I asked my father and I found out that Huairen wanted to be released."
Li Shan nodded and said: "The sage inquired before and promised to have Hedong Road and Guannai Road Mu as one county, so Todd asked his brother to invite him, but he didn't know the official department..."
Obviously Li Yuan had told Yang Gongren. Yang Siyi quickly spit out a few place names. Li Kai explained on the side that some were in Hebei Road, some were in Guannai Road, and they were basically Shangxian County... The level of county magistrates in the Tang Dynasty was There is a difference. Chang'an and Jinyang orders are of the sixth rank. Among ordinary county magistrates, the magistrate of Shang County is of the sixth rank, while the magistrate of Zhongxia County is of the seventh rank or the seventh rank.
Li Shan listened silently, occasionally asking a few questions. When he heard a place name, he couldn't help but his eyes collided with Li Kai's... er, Wenxi County, Jiangzhou, Hedong Road.
Damn it, go to the Pei family's nest in Hedong to become a parent officer... This is a bit exciting!
In addition, the most eye-catching one is Jie County, the hometown of the Liu family in Hedong. However, Li Shan has a good relationship with the Liu family in Hedong. He has saved Liu Jun's life and has a good relationship with the uncles and nephews Liu Shi and Liu Heng.
However, Li Shan still needs to go back to add up the total and cannot decide immediately.
Yang Siyi didn't care, and just reminded him, "Huairen still needs to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs for an examination in the past two days. Usually my father will be in Zhongshu Province before noon, and will go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the afternoon, which takes about half an hour."
"Thank you so much, brother Siyi."
"Something trivial." Yang Siyi said with a smile: "I just hope that Huairen will turn it into a poem someday and send it back to Chang'an immediately. I want to see it."
After drinking a few more glasses of wine, the three of them were chatting when they suddenly heard some noise downstairs. Yang Siyi opened the window and heard a rough voice.
"Today Mayi returns to China!"
Li Shan was still a little confused, but Li Kai and Yang Siyi, who had lived in Guanzhong for a long time, were both bright-eyed. The former immediately got up and went downstairs to inquire about the details.
"how?"
"It is rumored that Gao Manzheng came to surrender the city, and Yuan Junzhang fled north to the grassland." Li Kai said excitedly: "We have Mayi in our hands. As long as we hold on, the Turks will inevitably decline!"
Yang Siyi thought about it for a moment, "Gao Manzheng was Liu Wu's old subordinate of Zhou Dynasty, and later he followed Yuan Junzhang to attack Daizhou several times... Now the city is coming to invest, I'm afraid it's because of the old Hongnong County Duke."
"It must be so. Liu Gong is famous and the Turks are also afraid." Li Kai explained to Li Shan: "Therefore, Hongnong County Duke, Liu Gong Shirang, was in the northeast of Zhenhe River for a long time. He once inspected the school and became the governor of the state. He came back more than ten days ago. The saint sent It goes north.”
Li Shan was no stranger to the place name Mayi, but he knew very little about its importance to Li Tang.
Li Kai and Yang Siyi were eager to inquire about the details and simply broke up. Li Shan went straight back to Sun Moon Lake. Instead of going home directly, he found Zhu Wei.
"Uncle Qi, have you found out?"
Zhu Wei nodded and said: "There is indeed such a person. He was once the guard of the East Palace. He has great trust in the prince. In April of this year, he was sent out to serve as the general manager of Yanzhou."
"General Manager of Yanzhou?" Li Shan's eyes almost popped out, "In Hebei Road?!"
Zhu Wei looked at Li Shan puzzledly, "In March this year, Xingyang County Duke Zheng Shanguo was appointed as Shandong's pacification ambassador to pacify Shandong. This person was recommended by him to take up the post."
Li Shan rubbed his temples, and the storm stirred up by his butterfly was getting bigger and bigger... Yang Wenqian could raise an army to rebel, which made Li Yuan furious. He must be in Guanzhong, how could he go to Shandong?
