Walking out of the Tai Chi Palace, Li Shan thought to himself that the news that he hoped to be Sinong Qing had already passed through Ling Jing. Li Shimin was noncommittal and didn't know what the reaction would be.
Although Ling Jing is now Li Shimin's confidant, this is largely because he has become the link between Li Shimin and Li Shan. Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Changsun Wuji are Li Shimin's real confidants.
Just wait, when cotton is promoted, you will personally experience the benefits.
Generally speaking, when grassland tribes invade south, they will choose to invade from mid-summer to autumn. On the one hand, the harvest of cultivated food begins at that time, and on the other hand, because winter is too cold, and spring is busy with livestock mating.
The departure of the Chinese and Turkish armies was just the opposite. Historically, the Tang Dynasty's battle to destroy the Eastern Turks started in November in winter and ended in March of the following spring.
Li Shan remembered that when Li Jing destroyed the Eastern Turks, the grasslands were cold and windy and snowy. If you had cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold...
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a heavy cough in front of him. Li Shan squinted his eyes and immediately leaned down to salute. Although he was just a county magistrate, he was canonized as a county king...
But there is no way. If you want to eat the cabbage raised by others, you have to lower your head.
Cui Xin signaled to go to the roadside to talk, and Li Shan followed obediently, muttering in his heart that it was probably Lu Chisong who said it, and then... you old man won't be waiting outside Chengtian Gate to catch me, right?
Didn't it mean that Zhongshu Province has been very busy these days?
To Li Shan's surprise, Cui Xin didn't say any other nonsense or reprimand, but asked directly: "What position should I choose?"
"Your Majesty intends to appoint your nephew as Zong Zhengqing." Li Shan said while peeking at the expression on Cui Xin's face.
The political stance of this father-in-law... was undoubtedly in favor of the King of Qin, but whether he had joined Li Shimin's command or not, Ling Jing had explored this question, but Li Shimin did not give a conclusive answer.
"Zong Zhengqing?" Cui Xin's face changed drastically, and he cursed in a low voice: "Pei Hongda!"
Well, my father-in-law is quite well-informed, and he actually knows that it was Pei Shiju who caused the mischief.
"Ahem." Li Shan coughed twice, quietly took a step back, and then whispered: "But my nephew refuses because he has not yet been crowned."
Cui Xin's face was livid now. If he hadn't been on Chengtianmen Street, with the Zhongshu Province on the left, and the Menxia Province and Shangshu Province on the right, he would have taken action... You little bastard, I care about you, but you actually took advantage of me Amused? !
That day there was a banquet in Lingyan Pavilion, and the joke spread all over Chang'an. Everyone knew that you were flirting with women, and everyone knew that all the famous ladies in Pingkangfang were eagerly waiting for her... Do you take my daughter into your heart?
It’s been ten days since I returned to Beijing, and you haven’t even visited me yet. Do you take me seriously?
I haven't given you any trouble yet!
Li Shan felt a little guilty. If he was engaged to Cui Shiniang before, it was partly because of the fate of "Ai Lian Shuo", and partly because Li Shan was a little greedy... But it's different now.
Not to mention that in Dongshan Temple, Cui Shiniang defended herself with sharp words. It was just that she was trapped in a desperate situation and did not know whether she was alive or dead. Her fiancée came to take care of her sick mother in bed. She burned incense in Dongshan Temple every day and prayed for herself. ...What a good wife!
"Cui Sheren..." Li Shan was careful.
Well, Cui Xin was even more angry. Unlike people like Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Ling Jing who had twisted intestines, he didn't react at all. His son-in-law used this title to remind himself that he was in the imperial court now. You can't take action in the city!
"Huairen is out."
At this time, someone finally came to the rescue. Li Shan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the person with a smile on his face, and said happily: "I have met Mr. Yan Bo."
Wen Yanbo looked at the angry Cui Xin and said with a smile: "Cui Sheren, this is..."
"My father-in-law is joking with my nephew."
Li Shan quickly explained, and Cui Xin's mouth twitched at the side. He was Cui Sheren just now, and now he has become his father-in-law?
After joking for a while, Wen Yanbo asked: "Huairen, how will your majesty arrange it?"
Wen Yanbo visited Dai and signed an alliance with Tuli Khan. He admired Li Shan's governance in Dai and had a good relationship with Li Shan because of his nephew Wen Bang, so it was not an exaggeration to ask.
"Sinong Qing." Li Shan paused, "My nephew invited me."
"Sinong Qing?"
"Sinong Qing?"
Cui Xin and Wen Yanbo repeated it in unison, and frowned in unison.
Cui Xin felt that not to mention such meritorious deeds, even as a county prince, he seemed to be a bit shortchanged by being appointed as Sinong Qing. This was considered the last position among the nine temples and five courtyards.
And Wen Yanbo thought of another thing, "It seems that Sinong Qing is not vacant?"
Yes, there is indeed no vacancy.
Li Shan huffed and said, "I heard that Mr. Liu wants to return home..."
Wen Yanbo did not ask further questions. Liu Qing, the Secretary of Agriculture, had been in office for three years. He fell ill and was bedridden at the beginning of this year. It was then that Li Shan set his sights on this position... The reason why he stayed in Daizhou for two months before returning to Beijing was to recuperate. On the one hand, waiting for cotton is one thing, and on the other hand, it is waiting for the current Secretary of Agriculture.
It is said that they were seriously ill several times, but they survived... Li Shan asked Princess Pingyang to inquire a few days ago. Liu Qing has decided to resign and return home, so Li Shan will enter the palace today.
Cui Xin was a little uneasy, "I won't be rewarded for being appointed as Sinong Qing. I'm afraid I'll be regarded as a derogatory person."
"That won't happen." Li Shan had already prepared, "I have to ask my father-in-law and Mr. Yan Bo."
"Um?"
"I wonder if my father-in-law, Duke Yan Bo and Yu Shitai are familiar with each other?"
Before Cui Xin could react, Wen Yanbo had already laughed out loud, "Write a letter to impeach the king of Handan County for killing prisoners without permission and sending troops to sack the city?"
Cui Xin looked at his son-in-law speechlessly. I'm afraid this guy has been ready for a long time... This link followed one after another. Did you think of today so early?
Wen Yanbo agreed wholeheartedly, Cui Xin...actually wanted to pat his chest and promise, but unfortunately Wen Yanbo was still here, so he couldn't say this.
After leaving the imperial city, Li Shan did not go anywhere else. He went straight out of the city and returned to Zhuangzi. He had just returned to the capital ten days ago. In the name of self-cultivation, he stayed behind closed doors and thanked him. Today he went to the palace to pay homage. From tomorrow onwards, he will visit everyone one by one. .
In recent months, Chang'an has been full of people, and no one can overpower Li Shan. In the past ten days, there have been a lot of posts sent to him.
After returning home, Li Shan asked Zhou and Xiaoman to work overtime, and even distributed cloth and cotton to ask the women in the village to help. They had to rush out a batch. They would start visiting them one by one tomorrow and give them cotton-padded jackets as gifts.
Which one should we go to first tomorrow?
Because basically the head of every family has to go to court and work in the yamen, and has to wait until the afternoon to visit, so he can only visit one family in a day.
Judging from the distance of the relationship, he should go to Li Keshi's house first. After all, Li Keshi, his wife, and Li Kai had helped him so much.
Judging from the degree of intimacy, he should go to Princess Pingyang's Mansion first. After all, he is in Daidi, and Princess Pingyang has been supporting him. If she hadn't forced Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to send Wei Zheng and Xue Wanjun north, Li Jing might have delayed... If you delay for just one day, you will definitely die.
Looking through the posts, there are also Yuwen Shiji, Wen Yanbo, Tang Jian, Wei Zheng, Wei Ting, Fang Xuanling, Li Daoxuan, Li Shentong, and Li Shan smacking his lips, many of whom he has never dealt with before.
There is actually Xu Jingzong, whose reputation in history is not very good.
Li Shan always felt that he had forgotten a certain house. It was not until he was lying on the bed and preparing to go to bed that he suddenly realized that he had forgotten Cui Xin... People would not send a message and wait for him to come to the door of his own accord.
