"After the pacification of Shandong the year before last, King Luo Yi of Yan County entered the court and won the trust of His Majesty. He was won over by the prince and charged into battle. He often clashed with the King of Qin's lineage. Fang Xuanling, the King of Qin's closest aide, who was from the Fang family in Qinghe, had his finger broken."
I remember that a few years ago, Du Ruhui had his fingers broken by his cousin Yin Ashu. Well, the family plans in this life will be ruined!
While Li Shan was thinking about these, he said: "In the end, the King of Qin counterattacked, and Luo Yi was demoted from the capital and became the governor of Jingzhou."
Yuan Junzhang asked cautiously: "What does King Handan mean...not to surrender to the East Palace?"
How did you learn reading comprehension... Li Shan glared angrily, "What you mean is that the King of Qin has great military achievements and the prince has little prestige. If he wants to attract the support of senior generals or people with military power, he must make great efforts. Recruit Yuan Gong."
Yuan Junzhang nodded repeatedly, "Today, Prime Minister Pei, Wei Ting, and Wang Gui all intend to be gentle."
"But Du Yan and Feng Lun are not gentle, right?"
"Not bad." Yuan Junzhang asked doubtfully: "Why is this?"
"The King of Qin defeated Western Chu, attacked Liu Wuzhou, and captured two kings in the Central Plains in one battle. He has made outstanding contributions. His Majesty had no choice but to confer the title of General Tiance. Xu Jiantiance Mansion appointed subordinate officials and officials of Daxingtai of East Shaanxi Province." Li Shanzi carefully looked at it. He said: "Therefore, King Qin has no need and will not recruit you."
After a pause, Li Shan continued: "But the King of Qin will definitely not allow you to join the East Palace like King Luo Yi of Yan County."
Yuan Junzhang's face was so distorted that he couldn't look at it. He thought for a long time before he came to his senses. He stood up and bowed: "I surrender to the Tang Dynasty. It seems that I have no choice but I am also sincerely convinced. I am grateful to the King of Handan for your permission. I also ask for your permission."
"Tou Dong Palace... Tou Tiance Mansion..." Li Shan sneered and said: "Why did Mr. Yuan not behead someone's head that day and instead surrendered to the Turks? It was just because it was difficult to predict who would win or lose, Jieli or Tuli."
"Hey... I can't see clearly, who wins or loses, the Prince or the King of Qin."
Yuan Junzhang asked tentatively: "What about one step..."
"Your Majesty favors you, and Princess Pingyang is here to help." Li Shan spread his hands, "I'm afraid it will be hard for Mr. Yuan to imitate me."
Yuan Junzhang was speechless. If someone can stand in a neutral position, they are confident. He really can't imitate it.
After being silent for a while, Yuan Junzhang glanced at Li Shan, who was quite leisurely, and had a strange feeling in his heart... After all, he had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and had decided to live in Chang'an. Since Li Shan was not involved in the seizure, Damn, what use do you have to him?
Why does Li Shan take so much care of himself?
Of course Yuan Junzhang would not think that it was because his son who was staying outside worshiped him as his teacher.
After a long sigh, Yuan Junzhang said softly: "It took me only a few years to go north to Daizhou. He may have far-reaching wisdom, turn the tide, or show his power beyond the Great Wall. I heard today that His Majesty once praised him as the best in the world."
"There must be a plan for my visit today. Please elaborate on it. How dare you disobey me?"
Li Shan laughed and said, "Mr. Yuan is quite discerning."
Yuan Junzhang laughed bitterly. He thought he was a hero, but he was like a child under this young man. He had no resistance from the beginning to the end.
"Does Mr. Yuan know about King Wu?"
Yuan Junzhang thought for a while, "But Jianghuai Du Fuwei?"
"That's right." Li Shan nodded and said, "Du Fuwei came to Beijing in the fifth year of Wude and only brought dozens of personal guards with him. He must not be dishonest."
"Since entering the capital, Du Fuwei has either closed the door to thank guests, or claimed to be ill. He has been cautious in his words and deeds, and has not been involved in the affairs of the heirloom. Does Mr. Yuan know what will happen?"
Without waiting for Yuan Junzhang to reply, Li Shan sneered and said: "First he was beaten and injured by Luo Yi, the king of Yan County, and then the Jianghuai army rebelled. Everyone in the court knew that the rebellion had nothing to do with it, but they unanimously agreed that Du Fuwei should be beheaded."
Yuan Junzhang's face became very ugly. If he joins the East Palace Gate, he will definitely be targeted by the King of Qin. If he remains neutral like Du Fuwei, it is likely that everyone will dare to bully him... How can I bear this!
But Yuan Junzhang didn't say anything and just listened quietly. He knew that Li Shan would not mention Du Fuwei for no reason.
Sure enough, Li Shan then sighed, "That is, when he was young and full of energy, he stepped forward to dissuade His Majesty, and strongly recommended Du Fuwei's adopted son Kan Leng to accompany Princess Pingyang's husband Chai Gong in the western expedition to Tuyuhun, and then personally led him to Yanmen Pass... …On that day when Yu She set up an attack on Yanmen Pass, it was Kan Leng who held the Mo Dao to guard the front line, with the spirit of one man guarding the pass and not being able to open it even if ten thousand men could not open it.”
"Now that the Jianghuai War is coming to an end, the Jianghuai army that once stretched across the south of the Yangtze River has collapsed..." Li Shan emphasized his tone, "From now on, Du Fuwei will have no worries and should enjoy his wealth in peace."
Yuan Junzhang felt his mouth was a little dry. He understood the meaning of Li Shan's words, which had two meanings.
First, it is possible for you, a foreign warlord, to avoid being involved in the war to seize the throne, but you cannot avoid being bullied... Therefore, you need to find a backer.
This backer does not necessarily have to have a prominent position in the court, but it must be qualified to remain neutral and gain His Majesty's trust.
This backer... Li Shan and Li Huairen, who once urged His Majesty to show mercy to Du Fuwei before killing him, and who were supported by Princess Pingyang, were also included in the clan and canonized as King of Handan, are naturally the best candidates for Yuan Junzhang today.
Second, why did Du Fuwei no longer have any hidden worries?
That is naturally because the Jianghuai Army has been disintegrated. Du Fuwei has lost his foundation and no longer has the slightest weight. No matter the prince, the King of Qin, or the courtiers, they will not target him again, and even Du Fuwei will Because he was one of the few people who was still alive and surrendered to the Tang warlord, he received many rewards.
Well, Li Shan is talking nonsense in this regard. In fact, Prince Zhao Li Xiaogong did something in this regard... But Yuan Junzhang naturally didn't know about it.
Therefore, what Li Shan means is that you, Yuan Junzhang, cannot remain neutral, and you are constantly trying to win over the prince. At the same time, you are also being targeted by the King of Qin's lineage... It's just that you lead nearly ten thousand troops stationed in Mayi.
Therefore, disperse the army and at least ensure that all command and control rights are handed over... Only when Yuan Junzhang loses his weight can it be possible not to get involved in the battle for the legitimate son and no longer be targeted by the prince and the king of Qin.
In other words, Li Shan was persuading Yuan Junzhang to abandon all his previous efforts... For the latter, this decision was too difficult.
Yuan Junzhang thought about it for a long time before inviting himself to the court. After all, there were nearly ten thousand troops in Mayi, so he should not be treated harshly after entering the court... He guessed right, but he did not expect that the prince, The king of Qin had already reached this level in seizing the direct descendants.
Starting from opening up trade routes and relocating the people, Yuan Junzhang was either induced or forced by Li Shan step by step, and finally reached this point... He stared at the calm and composed young man in front of him, thinking that with this man's mental methods, if The rise of Li Tang before the founding of the country meant that the world was uncertain.
There was a long silence, and it was already dark outside. It was already past dinner time, but Yuan Xiaozheng outside the door did not dare to disturb him, so he just watched quietly.
Yuan Junzhang smiled miserably, "What can I get?"
"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.
