After a quarrel, Li Yuan, who had a headache, announced that he would put it on hold for the time being, but everyone could see that the military camp issue was almost settled, and his Majesty was just trying to save some face for the King of Qin... Today, the Crown Prince showed off his power and defeated the King of Qin quite miserably. .
If Shi Doujing, the governor of Bingzhou, knew about this, his eyes would probably fall off. He has written to request military settlements not once or twice, but basically nothing happened.
After the Prime Minister withdrew, Li Yuan smiled and waved to Li Shan, "Huairen was so calm that he didn't even ask."
Li Shan gave a standard answer, "Thunder, rain, and dew are all your kindness."
Li Yuan laughed, and Qi King Li Yuanji below couldn't help but curl his lips. This guy is so shameless!
Well, the so-called thinking mode that thunder, rain, and dew are all due to the kindness of the emperor is a view of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Han, Tang, and Song Dynasties did not talk about this... Well, it mainly started when Zhu Yuanzhang reduced Mencius's status.
Li Jiancheng knew that Li Shanxin was arrogant and not a flattering person. He said with a smile: "Huairen has made great achievements and has not been promoted. Father must not be stingy."
"That's natural." Li Yuan nodded.
Among the five people present, Li Yuan and Li Shan both knew it well. The so-called Li Shan could calm down and asked no questions... What he said openly was that Li Shan had not yet been promoted to a noble rank, but secretly he was talking about Yu Tuli. Khan's alliance.
Of course, there is also Li Shimin who pretends to be stupid and knows nothing.
"When you return to Daizhou this time, be careful and don't act rashly." Li Yuan warned: "The pharmacist will be able to go north to take up his post in April at the latest. If there is a small group of Turkic cavalry coming to attack, just drive them away."
"yes."
"You are just a troublemaker." Li Yuan was still a little worried and shook his head: "It has only been half a year since I took office in Daizhou. Look how many troubles you have caused!"
Li Shan felt a little aggrieved, "Uncle, it's others who provoke me. My nephew has always been well-behaved."
Li Jiancheng couldn't help but interjected: "Huairen, this is what father means... You are so well-behaved and can cause trouble like this. It's really..."
Li Yuan nodded repeatedly, "Shandong and Daizhou, wherever you go there is bloodshed!"
He said that I was like a disaster star... Li Shan was also speechless.
After a few more pleasantries, Li Shan stood up to say goodbye. He happened to meet Cui Xin when he was leaving the palace... He was a little suspicious. It seemed that every time he entered the palace, he would always run into him when he came out. His father-in-law wouldn't keep watching, right?
"I heard that you still want to go back to Daizhou?"
"Yes." Li Shan nodded and said, "At the latest in April, the Duke of Yongkang County will go north to serve as the governor of Daizhou. His Majesty mentioned in private that he would call his nephew back to the court at that time."
Cui Xin asked tentatively: "Is there a fixed position?"
"It's still a few months away. Who knows what position will be vacant at that time?" Li Shan smiled and said, "I won't go to the Imperial Medical Office."
Cui Xin sneered, pondered for a moment and then whispered: "You can't enter the Sixth Division."
"Thank you uncle for reminding me." Li Shan also knew that he could not join the Six Ministries. The Six Ministries in the early Tang Dynasty were actually under the Shangshu Province. Now, although Li Shimin is appointed as the Shangshu Ling, he is actually in charge of the Shangshu Province Zuopu She Pei Ji.
Regarding his position after returning to the court, Li Shan already has a general goal. It must be a position where he can demonstrate his abilities but at the same time will not be attracted by the forces of the East Palace and the King of Qin.
Li Shan was about to leave when he suddenly whispered: "Uncle, I will be able to return to Beijing in a few months. I don't know..."
Cui Xin was stunned for a moment before reacting, waving his sleeves and saying: "The Cui family of Qinghe, a prominent family in the world, follow the ancient rituals, not to mention that they only agreed to be in love this year and have been preparing for marriage for at least three years!"
Watching Cui Xin enter Zhongshu Province, Li Shan pursed his lips. Did he have to wait until his wife was fifteen before he could pass?
In this era, many people get married at the age of twelve or thirteen!
Believe it or not, I will go back and ask His Majesty to grant me a marriage. Let’s see if you still want to follow the ancient etiquette!
…
It was already late at night. Li Shan sent Ling Jing out and went back to the study to sit down. He picked up a few pieces of hemp rope and silk and knitted something. He was still thinking about it. It was mid-February now. What if Li Yaoshi would be there on Wednesday? If you can take up the post in a month, then what you can do in Daizhou is relatively limited.
Is that still necessary?
If you do it, it may not be in line with Li Jing's ideas, but if you don't do it, all the previous preparations will be in vain, which is a bit disappointing.
Ling Jing only gave some ambiguous opinions. You still need to make your own decision on such matters.
In the earliest plan, Li Shan was planning to stay in Daizhou for a few more years, preferably after the events like the Xuanwumen Incident had settled... But who would have thought that in the changing situation, in just half a year, the situation in the palm of his hand would Daizhou General Manager's Office.
However, he got a lot of bargains in the Liangyi Palace today. Li Shan was thinking in his mind, firstly, to get permission to return to Daizhou, and secondly, to cooperate with Li Shimin tacitly and trick Li Jiancheng, who was still kept in the dark. .
Thirdly, although the 30,000 men and women were robbed, a large amount of food would definitely be consumed, but now that the association is in charge of Yunzhou, the trade roads are smooth, and horses are constantly being transported, it is not difficult to use horse lures to attract merchants to transport food. The key point is It depends on whether you can make good use of these tens of thousands of human resources.
Fourth, Li Jing took office as the general manager of Daizhou... Although anyone with a discerning eye knows that the main factor is Li Yuan, he still recommended it. It is a small favor to meet him someday.
After thinking so much, Li Shan suddenly felt angry. What if Li Jing came? !
I have been planning in Daizhou for so long, spent so much effort and thought, how could I give up?
Even if it only takes a month or two, a prototype can be created.
"Creak."
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Li Shan stood up and saluted, "Why hasn't mother rested yet?"
Zhu, who has a straightforward and strong personality, sighed rarely, "Do you still want to go to Daizhou?"
"It's just a top-up. You can return to the court in April or May." Li Shan gestured to support Zhu, "Mother also needs to take care of her health. There is no need to worry about the children. One day, Cui will come and have children, and she also expects mother to educate her herself. .”
Nowadays, the Zhu family's reputation in the women's books in Beijing is not low. On the one hand, it is because of her marriage to the Cui family of Qinghe, her good relationship with the Changsun family, her close relationship with the crown prince and Princess Qin, and his majesty also granted him the title of a fourth-rank commander.
On the other hand, it was because of Zhu's reputation for teaching his children well... Li Shan's father died young, and now he has written essays, recited poems and compositions, passed down famous works, made numerous military exploits, was famous beyond the Great Wall, and established himself in the world with benevolence and righteousness.
Regarding the latter point, although Zhu was confused, he was also proud.
After the mother and son chatted for a while, Li Shan saw a slightly sad look on Mr. Zhu's face and said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, Daizhou is safe, brother Zhonggui lives in Sima..."
Speaking of this, Li Shan chuckled and said, "To call him such a name, he knows that he will inevitably slander him again."
Zhu Shi smiled and said, "We will talk about this in detail another day. Let's rest first."
"Mother, let's take a rest first. The child has a few things to do."
"The brows are furrowed, but you have a question?" Ms. Zhu paused. In the past two years, she had also seen clearly that her son was very thoughtful. He buried many things in his heart and refused to talk about it. He only said: "Why don't you ask? Lord Ling?"
Li Shan shook his head slightly, gave some advice, and watched Zhu's leaving figure, thinking that Ling Jing couldn't solve it either.
The most difficult thing for Li Shan to let go of today's Liangyi Palace meeting was that Li Yuan didn't seem to have made any choice... He thought maybe Li Yuan would let one, or two of Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, or even Li Yuanji go with them. Daizhou, presided over the alliance with Tuli Khan.
It is impossible for Li Yuan to give up his alliance with Tuli Khan. How will he solve this matter?
Li Shan suddenly shuddered. Li Yuan would not follow his bad idea and become brothers with Tuli Khan, right?
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he meets someone he knows, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
