"Don't worry. My dear brother is here to make great achievements. My mother paid homage to the Buddha and said that I should go to Dongshan Temple often to offer incense."
"Then please leave it to Brother Demou."
Li Shan stood by the couch, bowed solemnly, and then said with a smile: "Auntie Changsun is quite chivalrous."
Li Kai, who was lying on the couch, smiled. On the day of the Furong Garden, Zhang Yong was innocently beaten and injured, and the Changsun family stepped forward to question the Luo family's children.
This time, her husband and son were involved. Changsun was furious and wrote to Shandong to question Cui Wang. After this incident was deliberately spread, Luo Yi had to come to apologize in person and explain in detail the relationship between Master Li and his son. It was really not him who made the move, but King Qi Li Yuanji.
The so-called Cui Wangshi is the wife of Cui Kang, the third wife of the Boling Cui family. She was born in the Wang family in Taiyuan. Her mother-in-law was born in the Changsun family in Luoyang and was the cousin of the Changsun family.
In other words, Cui Kang wanted to call Changsun his cousin.
After the incident in Furong Garden, the prince embraced the Yunyang Luo family, and the princess chose Cui Kang's daughter for Luo Yang... Cui Kang was still hesitating.
After the Changsun family learned about Li Shan's life experience, they took care of them. When Li Shan was trapped in Shandong, the Changsun family often comforted the Zhu family and even visited the Zhu family.
Therefore, Li Shan has always been grateful to the Changsun family. He is about to go north. Outside the court, what he is most worried about is his mother. After all, the situation is very different from when he joined the army last year. Pei Shiju and Li Dewu may be watching.
It's a pity that his mother refused to go to Yanmen together, but Yanmen may be attacked by Turks at any time, and Li Shan was not worried, so he came to say goodbye today and specially asked Changsun to pay attention.
"We will set off tomorrow, but unfortunately Brother Yu..."
"Brother Demou, why should we be so polite between you and me?"
After chatting for a while, Li Shan said goodbye and left.
Li Kai, who was lying on the couch, looked at his friend's leaving figure. In fact, he was a little envious. He was already able to take on important responsibilities at a young age... But the children of the aristocratic family had a high status, but they could only be trapped at home.
Li Kai's younger brother from Danyang of the Longxi clan has no official career, and he will have to wait until the battle for the right to inherit the throne is over.
After walking out of the house, Li Shan thought in his mind that Li Kai, Wang Renbiao, Fang Xuanling, Wei Ting, and Wei Zheng had already been there, so forget about Du Ruhui... It would be better not to go to Princess Pingyang. I think the other party can understand. .
Most of the remaining people are of the same generation, some are descendants of Prince Qin's palace, and some are Jinshi in the same discipline. There is no need to visit one by one. The only elder left is Li Qianyou, the commander of Chang'an.
Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for a long time after taking the imperial examination. His son Li Zhaode was studying at home and rarely went out.
But after entering the mansion, Li Shan felt a little regretful. It was a coincidence that the person sitting at the head was actually King Li Yuanji of Qi.
Although Li Qianyou is still serving concurrently as the chief clerk of the Prince of Qi's Mansion, Li Shan did not expect that Li Qianyou, who has such a good relationship with the Prince of Qi... would come to visit him at his home.
It seems that last year in the army, the relationship between the two was limited to official matters... Li Shan thought about it and saluted, "I will leave for my post tomorrow, and I came here to say goodbye to my uncle today."
Li Qianyou stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I was a young man back then, but now I am worthy of important responsibilities. I will become the leader of the country one day."
"If my uncle hadn't called me last year, how would my nephew be here today?" Li Shan bowed again, "I also want to thank His Highness King Qi."
Last year, Li Shan escorted grain and grass northward, made various plans, returned to the capital to praise his merits, and was awarded the title of county prince... Among the people who pushed him to go northward, the King of Qi was probably the only one, but to Li Yuanji, Li Shan was unknown at that time. .
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes, "How do you call me?"
Li Shan hesitated for a moment and then said softly: "I have met the fourth brother."
Among the princes, Li Yuanji ranked fourth, followed by Li Xuanba who had died in infancy.
Li Qianyou on the side smiled and pointed to Li Shan to sit down, feeling a little surprised. He also heard that the saint regarded Li Shan as his nephew, but he did not expect that he would be called a descendant of the clan by King Qi.
Well, Li Yuan had this idea and asked in private, but Li Shan declined... This is not a good thing.
In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the surname Li was given to the ministers, and they were ranked in the clan. There were more than one or two people, Luo Yi, Du Fuwei, and Dou Jiande's minister Hu Da'en, who had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty in the early years.
Well, Luo Yi later rebelled and was killed. Du Fuwei was terrified all day long, but he didn't end up well anyway.
Especially Hu Da'en...he was granted the title of King of Dingxiang County and changed to Li Da'en. In the fourth year of Wude, he was appointed as the governor of Daizhou. He died in the battle around Yanmen and Mayi.
"He also calls eldest brother and second brother the same way." Li Yuanji said casually: "I came here to say goodbye today. Where is Wei Xuancheng?"
Li Shan was a little wary and cupped his hands and said: "Brother Xuancheng told me to do our best to appease the local area and defend the country's borders."
Li Yuanji asked a few more questions, which made Li Shan feel a little headache. He quickly changed the subject at the right moment, "Uncle, I haven't seen Zhao De in these days..."
"All the younger brothers in Danyang are good at galloping and are good at riding and shooting." Li Qianyou said angrily: "On New Year's Day last year, when Dalang returned to pay homage to his ancestors, he unexpectedly fell off his horse..."
"If you have no talent for martial arts, you should study behind closed doors." Li Qianyou sighed: "I actually wanted to go to Furong Garden a few days ago, but someone scolded me and sent me back."
Li Shan smiled awkwardly, changed the topic casually, and actually asked about the sore point...
Li Yuanji on the side put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "Li family from Longxi, a son of a famous family, he will not worry about getting married in the future... By the way, Huairen, Cui Xin is also there?"
"Uh..." Li Shan didn't say anything for a long time. He just asked for a meeting so carelessly, and he was afraid that he would be beaten out.
"Hahaha." Li Yuanji laughed loudly, "You cut off Cui Bo's head and brought great shame on the Cui clan of Qinghe. Even if you are interested and Cui Xin agrees, I'm afraid it won't be possible."
Li Qianyou was a little surprised, surprised by the intention of Li Yuanji's words.
Next, Li Yuanji said softly: "Zhongshu ordered Yang Gongren's younger brother Yang Shidao to be the general manager of Lingzhou. The second daughter is still waiting to be married... If Huairen is interested, I should ask the princess to propose marriage."
Li Shan was stunned there, unable to find anything to say for a while.
"Huairen asked himself to be released. He was working hard to be useful in the future, but in fact it was just because of the eldest brother and second brother..." Li Yuanji had a deep look on his face and said slowly: "Huairen, think about it again."
After leaving, Li Shan had a sad look on his face and secretly slandered Li Yuan... None of your three legitimate sons is a fuel-efficient lamp!
When Li Yuanji mentioned marriage, Li Shan was immediately sure that this guy was waiting here specially. Even if he didn't meet Li Qianyou at his house, he would probably find another opportunity to meet him by chance.
Yang Gongren's niece, Yang Shidao's legitimate daughter, Princess Qi's cousin... It was impossible for Li Yuanji to mention such an identity casually.
In the previous encounters in the palace, Li Yuanji's attitude was mediocre, but now he is so proactive... Li Shan had to think of a possibility.
Compared with before, the biggest change is that Princess Pingyang has just taken charge of the Beiya Imperial Army.
Li Shan sighed and thought to himself, there are only three legitimate princes in this dynasty, and Li Yuanji has the possibility to win the title... although his qualifications seem to be a bit too low.
Still thinking about it, the carriage suddenly stopped. Li Shan entered the city today, so he changed to a carriage instead of riding a horse.
"Langjun." Zhu Ba opened the curtain and whispered: "Zhang Langjun sent a message..."
Li Shan only nodded.
