After all, the seventh-grade official in front of him had an extraordinary background and served in the Zhongshu Province, under the jurisdiction of Cui Xin. Even if Li Shan was a little impatient, he had to be patient. Of course, the more important thing was that he came to Sifang Pavilion for important matters.
After chatting for a while, Li Shan couldn't help but think to himself, the boss and the second child were beaten to death, but the third child died first.
This sentence seems to be directed at Qi King Li Yuanji, who is seeking death, but in fact Li Shan is thinking of the aristocratic family.
Since ancient times, those who sit on the fence have always been the most annoying. When two forces confront each other, those who are neutral are often killed first.
But today, in this era when aristocratic families are very popular in the world, even if it is a major matter like seizing the heir, the aristocratic family will, or even definitely, choose to sit on the fence. On the one hand, it lies in the family's own choice to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages. No matter whether the choice is right or wrong, They can continue the inheritance and prevent the lintel from falling. On the other hand, it lies in the family's confidence in their own power.
Therefore, the three officials of the Danyang House of the Li family in Longxi served different masters. Zheng Rentai of the Zheng family in Xingyang firmly chose Li Shimin. Even though the Jingzhao Wei family was attached to the prince, there were two Wei family girls in Li Shimin's harem.
Wen Zhen's father, Wen Yanbo, won the trust of His Majesty, because Luo Yi's old subordinates were slightly biased towards the East Palace, and Wen Yanbo's second brother, Wen Daya, is now the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry of Daxingtai, Shaanxi Province, and is Li Shimin's confidant in Luoyang.
From a certain point of view, all this is a manifestation of the suppression of imperial power by the power of the clan. Even the emperor, prince, and King of Qin must admit it, or at least acquiesce.
It was not until after the disintegration of the clans that in a unified dynasty, there would be no similar large-scale front-end and back-end conflicts.
Various thoughts flashed in Li Shan's mind, and suddenly Wen Zhengong bowed respectfully, "I am going to Daizhou, and I would like to ask the King of Handan to take care of him."
Li Shan asked in shock: "What?"
Wen Zhen was a little surprised and explained: "My father has been summoned by your majesty. He will go with the King of Handan the next day to inspect the two prefectures of Daishuo to win the hearts of the people and boost the prestige of the country."
Li Shan reacted immediately. Li Yuan had mentioned before that he would send important ministers to accompany him. Wen Yanbo should be there to witness his sworn vows with Tuli Khan and make an alliance with him.
Wen Yanbo, as the Minister of Zhongshu, was second only to the prime ministers and assistants in the Three Provinces, and was given the title of Duke of Xihe County, which was sufficient in terms of status.
Li Shan smiled and said: "The war between Jianghuai and Jianghuai is about to be decided. The Duke of Yongkang County will lead the troops north to take office. Maybe I will go and return together with Duke Yan Bo."
"Come back together?" Wen Zhen was a little surprised, "Will the King of Handan return to the court?"
"Let's call him Huairen from now on." Li Shan cast a helpless look, "First kill Tuli's confidants, and then humiliate Jieli's only son. Both of them hate him deeply, so it's better to let Yongkang County Duke take the lead alone."
Wen Zhen laughed again and again, "Then please leave it to Huairen."
"Don't worry, there will be no accidents." Li Shan is still sure of this. Under the current situation, neither sudden nor unexpected profits will come.
However, if Li Shan knew more about the history of the early Tang Dynasty, he probably would not be so sure. In the original time and space, Wen Yanbo went on an expedition with the army in the eighth year of Wude, and the entire army was wiped out. He was captured alive and exiled to Yinshan. If not for the second When Li Shimin formed the Weishui Alliance, Wen Yanbo was afraid that he would be treated the same as Su Wu.
He was going to cooperate with Wen Yanbo later, so naturally he had to chat a little more with his son at this time, but before he could say a few words, there was a noise outside the door, and Li Shan looked back. After waiting for so long, this guy is finally back. .
"I'm here to pay my respects to Duke Rui Guo." Wen Zhen saluted and said with a smile, "The King of Handan has been waiting for a long time."
Yuan Junzhang laughed. He was given the upper house by Li Yuan today, but for the time being he still lives in Sifang Pavilion. He cupped his hands and said, "I just paid a visit to some old friends..."
Before Yuan Junzhang could finish speaking, Li Shan, who suppressed his smile, waved his sleeves and said, "I wonder who Mr. Yuan is visiting?"
Seeing that Wen Zhen had already retreated, Yuan Junzhang said: "Your Majesty, Taiyuan Mansion, the place where Longxing is located, is not far from Daizhou and Shuozhou. There are many old friends. The Prime Minister, Minister Zuopu She Pei, and the Minister Pei Gong are both. Hedong people."
"My father served as an official in the Sui Dynasty and was acting governor. He had some friendship with King Guan. He just paid a visit to Duke Yang of Zhongshu Ling."
The more Li Shan listened, the uglier his face became. In addition to Yang Gongren, Pei Shiju, and Pei Ji, Yuan Junzhang took his son to more than a dozen mansions in succession. Zhongshu Ling Feng Lun, Minister of Staff Yang Shidao, Prince Zuowei led Wei Ting, Prince Zhong Yun Wanggui, Du Yan of Jingzhao Du family, Xue Shou of Hedong Xue family... each family also presented "local specialties"!
After hearing the last word, Li Shanqing shouted, "Stop!"
Yuan Junzhang noticed Li Shan's displeasure and asked confusedly: "Is there something wrong?"
"Isn't it appropriate?" Li Shan waved his long sleeves, "Mr. Yuan has entered Chang'an. Do you want to enjoy the wealth and honor in peace, or do you want to achieve great things?"
"Or do you want to die quickly?"
Yuan Xiaozheng on the side took two steps forward and said, "Master Li, please come in and let me serve you tea."
After a while, Li Shan took a sip of tea and then put it down. The number of times he tasted tea has increased rapidly these days. There was no other way. Mrs. Cui had often asked Zhu for tea cooking tips in the past two months... so she only took a sip of the wine to tell the difference. Tea art Too little, the grinding is not fine, the heat is not enough, the spices are too much, and the water quality is poor.
Li Shan had already made a plan in his mind before, and Li Shan said directly: "Does Mr. Yuan know his own weight?"
Yuan Junzhang hesitated for a moment, "The old army was entrenched in Mayi. Although it was necessary to reorganize the army, His Majesty sent Qin Wutong to enter Mayi, but for a while, it was still entangled." Bayi Chinese website
"Does Mr. Yuan know that he is coming to visit various factions today?"
Yuan Junzhang straightened his face and thought for a moment before saying: "It is said that Prime Minister Pei has good relations with the East Palace. Wang Shujie of the Wang family in Taiyuan and Wei Ting of the Wei family in Jingzhao are both the prince's confidants."
After a pause, Yuan Junzhang added: "But today I also visited Sima Feng Deyi of Tiance Prefecture, Du Yan of the Du family in Jingzhao, and Xue Shou of the Xue family of Hedong."
Li Shan laughed angrily. There were three on each side. It seemed that they had put some thought into it. The others, Yang Gongren, Yang Shidao and others, did not have obvious political stances.
But things don't work out that way. Secretly, Feng Lun's political stance is difficult to say at the moment. As the prime minister and the Sima of Tiance Mansion, he also secretly interacts with Du Yan and hooks up with Qi King Li Yuanji.
Moreover, Yuan Junzhang has not yet included Pei Shiju.
These are all unspeakable, but what about on the surface?
Li Shan pointed to the door, "Sifang Pavilion is affiliated to Honglu Temple, but the steward is the general secretary of Zhongshu Province. Does Mr. Yuan know where the person Shicai came from?"
Li Shan said word for word: "The eldest son of Wen Yanbo, the minister of Zhongshu, Wen Yanbo is the old subordinate of King Luo Yi of Yan County, and Wen Yanbo's second brother, Wen Daya, is the confidant of King Qin."
"In your opinion, who is better than the Wen family of Taiyuan?"
Yuan Junzhang's face changed drastically, and in almost the blink of an eye, large drops of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Li Shan's words couldn't be more plain. A prominent family like the Taiyuan Wen family is qualified to sit on the fence, but you Yuan Junzhang is not!
Although a character has joined the army, he still has a local territory and a large army. He wanders between the East Palace and the Qin Palace. Luo Yi does not dare to do this!
So stupid... I really want to die quickly!
"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.
