On the hill beside the sun pool, Li Shan looked up at the mountainside not far away. The water diversion channel was winding down. The splashing water bloomed with a little light under the reflection of the sun from time to time. Zhu Wei behind him smiled and told about this attraction. The benefits brought by water canals to Zhuangzi.
Wang Junhao and Zhu Shitou led their personal guards to guard under the hill. Before leaving, Su Dingfang specifically told him that no matter where Li Shan was, there must be at least ten guards around him... He was really scared.
"Does Uncle Qi know why he chose this place?" Li Shan interrupted Zhu Wei, "It's just to avoid being noticed."
This is Li Shan's habit. If he wants to say something shady, he will often choose to do it in a public place, which can easily eliminate possible eavesdroppers.
"This time they went out to the fortress and defeated the Turks. Daizhou Sima Zhu Zhonggui fought with the army and protected him effectively." Li Shan sighed: "I wonder how deep the relationship between my uncle and the East Palace is?"
Zhu Wei's expression changed slightly. He hadn't received a letter from Er Zhu Yichen yet, so he forced a smile and said: "Dalangjun is a member of your Majesty's personal guard. When the dynasty was first established, he was awarded the title of Captain of the Cavalry."
Mounted Captain is the sixth rank among the twelve rank officers, which is equivalent to the fifth rank, neither high nor low.
"In the second year of Wude, the prince conquered Zhushanhai. Dalangjun was under the command of Sang Xianhe, the general of Zuoweiwei at that time." Zhu Wei continued: "In the third year of Wude, the King of Qin attacked Luoyang. Your Majesty sent the prince out of Hedong to guard it. Puzhou was prepared for the Turks, and it was at that time that Lord Dalang took up the post of Puzhou Sihu and joined the army."
In other words, Er Zhu Yichen has never been under Li Shimin... Li Shan sighed, and after being silent for a while, he said: "Isn't he his biological uncle?"
Zhu Wei was speechless, and after a while he whispered: "Ask the eldest lady."
As soon as he heard this, Li Shan knew that he had probably guessed it right. The Erzhu family had officials in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In the previous Sui Dynasty, they were still in high positions. Erzhu Yichen's father and ancestors were granted the titles of Duke and County Duke, while his mother had no title at all. It is necessary to conceal one's life experience.
Considering that his mother lived in Lingnan when she was young, there is a high possibility that he is a direct descendant of Er Zhurong... He probably went to Lingnan to avoid trouble.
The descendants of the victims of the Heyin Incident will not kill all the Erzhu clan, but they will certainly not let the descendants of Erzhu Rong go easily... The ancients believed that the hatred of killing the father was irreconcilable, and such hatred It may not disappear even after several generations.
But there was still a question lingering in Li Shan's mind. He stared at Zhu Wei and said softly and slowly: "Uncle is attached to the East Palace?"
Zhu Wei was stunned for a moment and then suddenly reacted. His lips trembled slightly and he was speechless for a long time.
Li Shan sighed softly, "There is no need to tell mother about this matter, and it must not be leaked to Su Dingfang, Ma Zhou and Ling Gong."
In fact, Li Shan had already determined this. Even though his mother was a direct descendant of Er Zhurong, she was still a woman. Even if her life experience was revealed, nothing big would happen... The only possibility was that her mother must have a direct brother.
Therefore, the uncle Li Shan asked just now was his direct uncle.
Throughout the dynasties, the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China was often the most complicated moment for the political situation. Prince Li Jiancheng and King Qin Li Shimin competed for the throne. However, Li Yuan was hesitant in this regard. He was neither willing to change the throne nor dare to give up his second son at will.
In this mysterious situation, how does the biological uncle deal with... Li Shan really has a headache. He came from time travel. His father is a bastard who abandoned his wife and children. His mother's life experience is also quite strange. His luck It's really bad.
"Dalangjun is in Daizhou..." Zhu Wei asked tentatively: "Have you ever recognized me?"
"That's natural." Li Shan said with a wry smile: "But I usually call him Brother Zhonggui."
Zhu Wei couldn't help laughing, "Da Langjun has a very good temper. It will be helpful to be appointed Sima of Daizhou this time."
"To move from Puzhou Sihu to Prefecture Sima is a step-up promotion." Li Shan asked with great interest: "Who recommends it?"
Seeing Zhu Wei's hesitation, Li Shan chuckled and said, "You will know these things as soon as you inquire about them. If it doesn't work out, you can still ask your uncle when you return to Daizhou."
"The prince Zhongyun Wang Gui." Zhu Wei whispered: "The prince doesn't know about it."
Li Shan was a little surprised. Ever since he noticed that Zhu Wei had a background in the East Palace, he had been vigilant. It was not that he was vigilant about Zhu Wei himself, but to remind himself to be more careful.
When he vaguely guessed that his mother's "Zhu" might have been transferred from "Er Zhu", Li Shan never bothered to find out, so until now, he still doesn't know who is behind Zhu Wei?
Or to be more precise, Li Shan still doesn't know who his biological uncle is?
It's hard to tell whether his surname is Erzhu or Zhu.
But today it can be confirmed that this person is of great importance in the East Palace. Even if he does not hold an official position, he should be a confidant of the prince... Otherwise, it will be difficult to influence Wang Gui, who is recognized as the prince's first staff.
These things are not urgent for the time being, Li Shan thought in his heart, as long as Li Shimin can take the position, it is not a big problem... In history, after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin killed all the sons of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, but did not kill their wives, concubines and daughters. There were even many famous ministers and generals from the Zhenguan period in the East Palace and Prince Qi's Mansion.
"How much food is left in the secret warehouse?"
"Not much left." Zhu Wei thought for a while, "Since October last year, we have been losing to Daizhou, and we still have three or four out of ten."
Last year, Li Shanchou established Xia City Ma Yin. The first batch of people to send grain and grass to Dai County in exchange for Ma Yin were the Zhu clan, using the grain from the secret warehouse.
"After the winter wheat harvest in May this year, we will continue to buy grain." Li Shan whispered, "As long as there is still money, we will continue to buy grain."
"But we must dispatch trustworthy personnel to purchase grain in Guannei, Hedong, and Longxi, and we must not cause the price of grain to skyrocket."
Zhu Wei was surprised and said: "What do you need so much food for?"
Last year, Li Yuan issued an edict to ban alcohol, and grain prices in Guannei and Jingzhao began to drop. On the Sun Moon Lake side, Dongshan Restaurant and Brick Factory all made huge profits, and they were continuous. Not to mention that there was Xia City in Daizhou, which made even more profits. ...Li Shan gave the big head to Li Yuan, but he must keep the small head.
You only consider the country and not your family. This is the original sin.
Therefore, Zhuangzi, who could only make ends meet just three years ago, is now very wealthy... If he continues to buy grain, and he keeps buying it, the amount will be quite terrifying.
Li Shan did not explain anything, but only reminded a few words that purchasing and storing grain is not something you can just buy and throw in a cave. It needs someone to take care of it, and it is best not to draw attention to the grain purchasing process.
Considering Li Shan's current status, there is actually no need to store too much food, but he has hidden worries in his heart.
It has been Wude for seven years, and Li Shan remembered that Wude never lasted more than ten years. In the next two or three years, the Turkic invasions will not stop, and food shortages in Guan Nei and Jingzhao will occur from time to time.
The most important thing is, if I remember correctly, after Li Shimin ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in the original time and space, a large-scale locust plague occurred soon after. The specific location... Li Shan remembered that Li Shimin performed a scene of swallowing locusts in the Forbidden Garden. It shows that Jingzhao must be within the scope of the locust plague.
Therefore, it is necessary to store food.
