Li Shan had a vague suspicion in his heart. When he returned to Beijing from Shandong the year before last, he had considered that because Prince Li Jiancheng failed to capture and kill Liu Heita and pacify Shandong, the conflict between the East Palace and the Prince of Qin's Palace would probably It quickly intensified, leading to the early end of the battle for the inheritance... There may be changes in the Xuanwu Sect, or it may be in other ways.
But this time when he returned to Beijing, Li Shan felt that if there really was a change in the Xuanwu Gate, it would probably be postponed.
Historically, Li Shimin initiated the Xuanwu Gate Rebellion for both internal and external reasons. Turks repeatedly invaded Hedong and Guan Neidao. Internally, the prince and the King of Qi were aggressive. The King of Qi, with the tacit approval of Li Yuan, was good at mobilizing the generals of Tiance Mansion, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong. , prepare to lead the army on an expedition.
As Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others said, if Li Shimin did not work hard, not only would his great cause be difficult to achieve, but Li and Tang's dynasty would be in danger of overthrowing.
It can be said that after Li Shimin determined that he could not enter the East Palace through normal means, he decided to overturn the table because of the coercion from the Turks and Prince Qi.
Now, although he does not remember the specific details, Li Shan can be sure that the pressure exerted by the Turks on Li Tang in this life is likely to be much weaker than in the original time and space.
For example, in this life, if the Turks cannot invade Hedong this year, it will be difficult for Li Shimin to have the opportunity to go out to control Hedong... In history, Li Shimin has been cornered by the East Palace at this time, and Li Yuan even rebuked him in person, if the Turks hadn't happened to attack. , maybe Li Shimin will rebel in advance to seize the throne.
But we can’t let go of Yanmen Pass and allow the Turks to invade Hedong, right?
In this way, what does Li Shan's efforts in Daizhou for more than half a year count?
Therefore, Li Shan made this logical but not very certain judgment. If there is a mutiny similar to the Xuanwu Gate Rebellion in this life, the time point is likely to be after the Xuanwu Gate Rebellion in the original time and space.
In this way, it is necessary to reserve food in advance... maybe it will be useful at some point.
After watching Zhu Wei leave in a hurry, Li Shan wandered around the west of the village for a while, and found a piece of fairly flat land... He intended to rebuild Li's house.
Although both Cui Xin and his mother hope that Li Shan will live in the mansion in Yanshoufang after they get married, before Li Shimin comes to power, Li Shan still hopes to live outside the city... The storm caused by his time-traveling butterfly is getting bigger and bigger. Li Shan was not even sure whether the initiator of the Xuanwu Sect incident would still be Li Shimin.
But in this case, Li's house in Zhuangzi is not big enough. Zhang Wenguan mentioned this in his letter. By then, there will be hundreds of slaves in Miss Cui's dowry, and most of them must be slaves. Live in Sun Moon Lake.
After roughly thinking about it in his mind for a while, he saw that the guards had purchased the sacrifices. Li Shan personally took the sacrifices and went to the homes of the fallen guards to worship them one by one.
Last year, more than a hundred personal guards, including 60 people from the Zhu clan, accompanied Li Shanbei, and another 60 people were selected from Qi Laosan, Su Dingfang, and the refugees who settled in Sun Moon Lake that year.
After more than half a year, a total of only seven people were killed, which was a much lower ratio than in Shandong the year before. Of course, in Shandong they were hunted down all the way, but in Daizhou, Li Shan stayed in the fortress most of the time.
Among the seven killed, four were killed in the battle of attacking the camp on a snowy night. They fell off their horses and were trampled to death by horse hooves when breaking the camp. The other three were killed in the battle outside Yanmen Pass.
Although the seven families are sad, they are also respectful. They have been fighting for many years. Since they are on the battlefield, it is inevitable... What's more, Li Shan has always been kind to him, and there is no shortage of pensions and land grants.
All things were arranged, Li Shan was a little tired, and regretted not bringing Ma Zhou back. Ma Zhou had always been responsible for this kind of thing... But then he thought, forget it, let Ma Zhou and Chang He hang out together.
It is said that as Ma Zhou deliberately got close to each other, the friendship between the two deepened day by day, to the point where they could even sleep in contentment.
"How many days will it take to return to Beijing this time?"
"That depends on His Majesty's wishes." Li Shan smiled bitterly in his heart, "I thought I would be rewarded when I returned to Beijing..."
Zhu, who was mixing tea, stopped and said, "Isn't it?"
Li Shan grumbled a few times without answering directly, thinking that Li Yuan wished he could punch and kick him twice, and even give him a reward!
When to leave Beijing, I guess it depends on how Li Yuan resolves the alliance with Tuli Khan. I have already handed over all the communication channels and manpower... It depends on what Li Yuan thinks.
"I'm going back to Beijing today, and I'll go to the Li family for a visit tomorrow." Mrs. Zhu brought the prepared tea, "It was Demou's mother who acted as matchmaker to get engaged with the Cui family."
"The child understands the importance." Li Shan nodded, "Even if there is no engagement, Brother Demou takes over as acting county magistrate, and goes to the fortress with the child to fight, chasing the enemy for hundreds of miles to Mayi, it is reasonable to pay him a visit first."
"Um?"
Li Shan swallowed, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, his brows widened, "Mother's craftsmanship is getting better and better!"
Mrs. Zhu snorted, "Miss Cui is also good at making tea."
Li Shanqian laughed twice and wondered if he should prepare the fried green tea in advance... In his previous life in the countryside, he had seen farmers making tea, but he had never done it before, and he didn't know if he could make it.
The mother and son were sitting in the side hall talking, sometimes talking about the Yanmen War, and sometimes talking about the details of their engagement with Cui. Zhu was preparing to reorganize the house in Yanshoufang, and specifically mentioned that the neighbor next door had been very helpful. Many rare giant trees came.
"Ying Guo Gong." Li Shan's smile was a little stiff, "He is a close friend of the former king Yang Xiong. He started his career as a merchant. It is said that he was a timber maker at the earliest..."
"Yes, his wife is the niece of King Guan." Mrs. Zhu said with a smile: "The Yang family's sister sent the notice again and again, inviting the mother to visit. She was pregnant, and she almost slipped when she was going down the mountain at Dongshan Temple during the Lantern Festival that day. , Duke Ying will not allow him to go out again."
"Pregnant?" Li Shan's expression was even weirder, "I wonder if Duke Ying has an heir?"
Mrs. Zhu was a little surprised as to why her son was interested in this. After thinking for a while, she said, "Sister Yang is my stepwife. My ex has a second son, and sister Yang has a second daughter. If this baby can be messed up..."
Well, I'm sure that the one in my belly is Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in history. Li Shan thought in his heart that this woman named herself in history, and she didn't know what her real name was.
Li Shan thought about it for a while, thinking that if they were neighbors in the future, maybe they could be trained since childhood, and there should be no more queens in this life!
Calculating the age, if he was born this year, he would be about twenty years younger than me, fourteen or fifteen years old... At that time, I would be thirty-four or five years old, in my prime!
It shouldn't be a big problem for a thirty-four or five-year-old man who contributed to the founding of the country to take a young lady from a declining family as his concubine, right?
So many senior time travelers can do it!
Besides, I remember that not long after the warrior Xun died of illness, the second son of the Wu family kicked out the Yang mother and daughter.
Li Shan suddenly remembered that Wu Zetian seemed to have a very romantic sister and gave birth to a beautiful daughter. In the end, Li Zhi took advantage of her. In this life...
Dirty, he is indeed Dirty Tang!
Li Shan was filled with contempt, and he must stop Li Zhi!
While calculating whether Li Zhi was born now, the guards outside reported, "Lang Jun, Duke Ling is back."
