In the study room, Li Shan seemed to be smiling but not smiling, with a rather strange look on his face.
Today, during the Liangyi Hall meeting, Li Shenfu, the general manager of Lingzhou, submitted a letter. Because the grassland was cold this year and it was difficult to survive the winter, several tribes went south to invade. The Tang army attacked, with some victories and some defeats, to drive them away.
After the unification of the world, Li Yuan turned his attention to the northern grasslands. He once asked Li Shan about his strategy for dealing with the Turks, but the latter gave an answer that the Turks still had the upper hand.
In fact, Li Yuan also knew that it was an exaggeration to say that the Eastern Turks controlled millions of strings, but they were still a huge threat to the Tang Dynasty.
After Hedong was generally stabilized, the next key defense areas of the Tang Dynasty were Longxi and Guannai Road. Suddenly, there was news that grassland tribes were going south. Li Yuan asked the prince and the prime minister whether Li Shenfu, the general manager of Lingzhou, was worthy of the important task?
In this situation, Qi King Li Yuanji jumped out... No one dared to compliment this prince's performance on the battlefield, but Prince Li Jiancheng said that if Sanhu was given a deputy who could be called a famous general...
As soon as these words came out, everyone thought of Handan County Prince Li Huairen.
Ugly in appearance, beautiful in thought... Li Shan complained in his heart and said, "Is His Highness asking for help?"
Ling Jing shook his head, "Chang Sun Wuji mentioned it."
Come to think of it, Fang Xuanling is a good old man, and Du Ruhui won't ask questions so rashly because of the grievances between Du family in Jingzhao and himself, so he has a son named Sun Wuji.
After thinking about it, Li Shan explained in detail how he went to the Wude Hall for the banquet yesterday. In addition to the familiar Li Qianyou and Rong Jiusi, Li Sixing, the most important counselor in the Qi Palace, was also there. This person was also Taiyuan Yuanmou. One of the heroes.
"All such matters are subject to His Highness's orders." Li Shan finally said this. In fact, he had already made up his mind. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would never lead troops into battle before Li Shimin ascended the throne.
Ling Jing sighed, "Your Highness will not be suspicious. Not to mention Your Highness, Fang Xuanling, Du Ming, in fact, even Changsun Wuji will not be suspicious, but..."
"Yesterday, my nephew went to the banquet, and today the King of Qi asked for a battle..." Li Shan curled his lips slightly, "I'm afraid there are rumors among the people."
Only a few people in the Tiance Mansion knew the inside story, and most of the other advisers and military generals did not have a good impression of Li Shan. They did not hesitate to kill Cui Bo in Shandong to help the East Palace pacify the place, and a few months ago they expelled the general Duan Zhixuan of the Tiance Mansion. , for this reason, even Keshi Li has received a lot of looks.
Now that this incident has happened again, I am afraid many people will speculate whether Li Shan has already joined Donggong's sect... Even if not, Donggong's recruitment intention is already obvious.
"Donggong does have some tricks..." Ling Jing murmured in a low voice.
If you want to push Li Shan out to make a wall to block the wind, this method is really clever and let Qi Wang Li Yuanji come forward.
But Li Shan thought in his heart that Li Yuanji had some thoughts and used the East Palace to accumulate power for himself.
After dinner, Li Shan sat in the study for a long time. The brazier beside him provided heat, but the window was blown by the strong wind. Xiaoman came in with hot water, and the cold wind mixed with large snowflakes suddenly came in, blowing The charcoal fire in the brazier blew brightly and dimly.
After soaking his feet and washing himself and lying on the bed, Li Shan was still thinking about it. He had an intuition that Li Yuanji in this life would not be willing to be just a supporting role like in the original time and space, and would probably officially take the throne. stage.
This change... Li Shan had to admit that it was probably directly or indirectly related to him.
Because of himself, Prince Li Jiancheng failed to pacify Shandong and gain a huge amount of political assets as he did in the original time and space, which made the current situation of seizing the throne extremely chaotic.
Because of himself, the Turkic civil strife broke out in advance, and the Turkic army was defeated in Shuozhou one after another, which greatly reduced the pressure on Datang.
What will Li Yuanji do?
With this question in mind, Li Shan hugged Zhou with his left hand and Xiaoman with his right hand, and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, when Li Shan stepped out of the room, his eyes were blinded by the light reflected from the snow. Within his sight, the snow was white and so thick... In the flower bed not far away, the stone table was not short. Overwhelmed.
In his previous life, Li Shan was considered a native of the Central Plains. In this life, he went to Daizhou, but there was no such heavy snow in the North last year. Even now, snowflakes as big as goose feathers are still fluttering.
Li Shan couldn't help but was speechless. Sun Moon Lake was okay. Since it was included in the Li family, there was no need to pay taxes. There were still several livelihoods such as Dongshan Temple and Brick Chang. The villagers were living well, but other villages... This time the snow fell. , I'm afraid the damage will be considerable.
"Mr. Lang."
"Jun Hao is here." Li Shan, who was having breakfast, pointed to the opposite side and asked the servant girl to get another bowl of mutton soup cake. "Is everything okay in the village last night?"
"Inspection at night, everything is fine." Wang Junhao, who had dark circles under his eyes, looked like he had not slept all night. "This is the first time I have seen such heavy snow. We organized people to clean the snow on the roof every hour in the second half of the night."
"That's good. Jun Hao in the village has put in the trouble." Li Shan nodded. Although the houses were all built with red bricks, the cement he had tested several times was not of use and was not strong enough. The roofs were still made of beams. Architecture, tiles.
Wang Junhao hesitated for a moment, "Only Qu Silang...let Zhang Sanlang follow Lang Jun?"
"Huh?" Li Shan was thinking in his mind, should he give himself a day off due to such heavy snow?
After finishing breakfast, Li Shan went out for a walk and decided not to go to the Yamen today. The roads in the village were covered with snow and the entrance to the village was blocked. Young men wielding shovels were shoveling the snow. More than a dozen people were shoveling the snow. Children were chattering and playing.
"Too ugly!" Li Shan looked at the piled snowmen with dissatisfaction.
More than an hour later, even Mrs. Zhu and Mother Su came out. Li Shanting was proud of his red hands. In front of him was a beautiful snowman wearing a bamboo hat and complete with eyes, nose, ears and mouth.
It's not just the snowman. Li Shan personally built the building, including cats, dogs, and various animals. They were lifelike and lively. They even built a tiger and asked someone to kill the one he shot on his way back to Beijing the year before last. The tiger's skin is draped on it.
A confused question came from behind: "Is that a wolf?"
"No, that's a dog." Li Shan replied seriously, "It's famous!"
Li Shan turned around and saw that the person asking the question was a middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat and official uniform. He looked carefully and said with a smile, "Isn't Supervisor Chen on duty today?"
The visitor is Chen Fu, the provincial governor of the palace. The provincial governor of the palace was the former palace supervisor of the province under the Sui clan. Later he was upgraded to a provincial governor. He was in charge of the emperor's daily life and was often by his side. He was also an old acquaintance with Li Shan.
"The emperor summoned..." Chen Fu said with a bitter smile: "Only after asking, I found out that His Highness did not enter the imperial city at all today and had no choice but to travel all the way."
"Thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work." Li Shan apologized repeatedly. He naturally knew that Chen Fu did not dare to offend Princess Pingyang behind him.
He hurried home and changed into his official uniform and set off. As soon as he got on his horse, Chen Fu asked curiously: "Is that really a dog just now?"
"Really, it is rumored that the barking dog next to Erlang Shen is living in the world. It is named Husky. Although it is extremely powerful, it has a good temperament."
