After the court meeting was over, Li Shan seriously considered whether he needed to take a sick leave on the first day of the first lunar month half a month later.
Generally speaking, during the Wude period of the early Tang Dynasty, there were three types of court gatherings.
One is the most common lunar New Year's Day ginseng, which occurs on the first and fifteenth day of every month... Today is the 15th day of lunar new year's lunar New Year's Day. Because it is the last lunar New Year's ginseng of the year, the etiquette is complete.
The second is to attend court every day. However, Li Yuan was not a particularly diligent emperor and did not go to court every day. In fact, except for the first day of the lunar month and the first day of the lunar month, the number of early morning ginsengs was very few.
The third is the Great Court Meeting on Yuan Day, which is the second day of New Year’s Eve and the first day of the first lunar month.
The great court meeting is the most grand and requires "big furnishings". The palace is hung and drums are displayed, and the chariots and chariots are displayed. At that time, the emperor's royal carriage will come out to accept the congratulations from the ministers and guests.
First, the Crown Prince offered his birthday, then the Duke offered his birthday, and then Zhongshu Ling wrote to Zhuzhou Biao, Huangmen Shilang played Xiangrui, Hubu Shangshu played Zhuzhou's contribution, Rites Shangshu played Zhubo's contribution, Taishi Ling played Yunwu, and Shizhong played After the ceremony, Zhongshu Ling offered his birthday to the enshrining officials...
The usual morning meeting lasts from about 5 a.m. to 9 a.m., but today it was postponed to 11 noon. Afternoon tea is available for the court meeting...!
You are really not afraid of starving to death!
Li Shan looked at the time and didn't plan to go back to Sinong Temple. He asked Zhao Yuankai to go back and say hello, and then go directly to Dongshan Restaurant...to do team building tonight!
Today has been delayed for too long, and the food prepared long ago on the porch has become cold. The courtiers are rushing out of Chengtianmen, and the streets of Chengtianmen are buzzing with people.
"Oh, Lord Ande." Li Shan greeted a middle-aged man in his early thirties, "I met your son at Princess Pingyang's Mansion a few days ago. He is very talented in literature at a young age."
This middle-aged man is Yang Shidao, the youngest brother of Zhongshu Ling Yang Gongren. He served as the general manager of Lingzhou before Li Daozong and defeated the Turks. He was transferred back to Chang'an early last year and served as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
"The King of Handan is too praised." Yang Shidao smiled and said: "If you are a scholar of talent, who can compare with me?"
Although there was a dispute between Princess Qi Yang and the Zhu family, the relationship between the two families was quite good because of Li Shan's promotion in the court and Li Shan's friendship with Yang Gongren's eldest son Yang Siyi.
Among the prime ministers and assistants, the one who was most friendly to Li Shan was his servant Chen Shuda, followed by Zhongshu Ling Yang Gongren.
"Each one has his own strengths." Wen Yanbo, who happened to be standing by, said with a smile: "Huairen needs careful consideration, but Jing You has quick talents."
Everyone laughed. Li Shan's reputation for speculation has long been spread... If he were asked to recite poems immediately, it would definitely not work. Now there are rumors that if Handan writes poems that he is not comfortable with, he would rather burn them than publish them. In the outside world, all the contemporary poems are amazing.
Yang Shidao was praised for his quick mind, and he almost wrote something immediately during banquets.
"As I wait a little longer, I would like to ask Handan to teach me my skills." Yang Shidao clicked his tongue and said, "There are many people who are good at both civil and military skills. It is really rare to be like this one."
"It's too much praise, it's too much praise." Li Shan smiled bitterly, but he was complaining in his heart, that son of yours... let's forget it!
In fact, Li Shan met Yang Shidao's son not long after he traveled through time. It was the Lantern Festival in the fifth year of Wude. Many ladies came to Dongshan Temple to offer incense... mainly attracted by various lanterns and lantern riddles.
Yang Shidao did not come at that time, but his wife Princess Changguang came and brought her son Yang Yuzhi with Yang Shidao. The person holding Yang Yuzhi's hand at that time was Princess Yongjia.
Li Shan, who was standing at a high place, sighed, "How dirty!"
Many years later, Princess Changguang died of illness. During the mourning period, Yang Yuzhi hooked up with his aunt Princess Yongjia and committed adultery. In the end, Princess Yongjia's husband Dou Fengjie caught her in bed and quartered her body.
Li Shan now has a wide network of contacts in Chang'an, but when he rarely visits, the only place he can enter and leave at will is Princess Pingyang's mansion. He has met many clan girls there, but he stays away from Princess Yongjia, who is not yet married.
However, Li Shan was able to talk with Princess Changguang. On the one hand, it was because when Dongshan Temple's mother Zhu and Princess Yang of Qi had a quarrel at the beginning of the year, it was Princess Changguang who solved the problem and stood on Zhu's side.
On the other hand, because of the fight in the Forbidden Garden last year, Zhao Cihao was trampled by a random horse and suffered severe injuries to his chest and abdomen. Li Shan took the risk and rescued him. Zhao Cihao's brother Zhao Cijing was Princess Changguang's first husband.
More than a month ago, Zhao Cihao asked Princess Changguang to intercede... Zhao Cihao and Zhao Yuankai were both born in the Zhao family of Tianshui. Fortunately, Princess Changguang was very knowledgeable and did not agree.
After chatting for a while, Yang Shidao whispered: "Assigned to be the magistrate of Huating County."
"Thank you, Lord Ande." Li Shan was a little surprised. He just saw that there were many people in front of him, and he had to wait for Zhao Yuankai to convene people for team building. He just chatted for a few words. He didn't expect that Yang Shidao would talk about Zhang Wenxi's eldest brother Zhang Wenxi's appointment. .
Although he was a descendant of the Zhang family in Wucheng, he became a county magistrate as soon as he became an official, which was rare even for children of five surnames and seven families... County magistrates in the Sui and Tang Dynasties were not comparable to the seventh-rank sesame officials of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Obviously, when Yang Shidao talked about this... he was just telling Li Shan that he was doing this for your sake.
The thought flashed through his mind, and then Li Shan snorted, "Huating?"
If I remember correctly, Huating is another name for Songjiang, right?
"This Huating is not that Huating." Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "Lu Xun of the Three Kingdoms was born in Huating and was given the title of Marquis of Huating, but the Huating mentioned by Duke Ande was Huating County in Longzhou."
"Oh oh oh oh!" Li Shanqian laughed a few times. He really didn't know there was a Huating County!
Longzhou belongs to the Guannai Road. After thinking about it, Li Shan found that this location is a bit dangerous... The Guannei Road is likely to become the main battlefield in the next few years, and it will mainly be concentrated in Lingzhou, Yuanzhou, Huizhou, and Suzhou. Longzhou borders Yuanzhou and Suzhou.
I went back to Zhang Wenxi and asked. Anyway, official documents could not be issued until the beginning of the first month of the year... and the official surname was basically Yang.
Zhongshu ordered Yang Gongren to concurrently serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Yang Shidao became the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel... During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there was only one minister of the Six Ministry of Affairs, and there was no distinction between left and right.
A few people were chatting. Seeing that the people in front of them had dispersed, they slowly walked forward. Li Shan also invited the two of them to join in team building, but they heard a noise in front of them.
In the crowd, a slightly sharp voice was scolding, and the people being scolded were two middle-aged officials.
Li Shan's eyes were slightly confused and he whispered: "Who is that?"
"Wushui County Duke Li Mengchang." Wen Yanbo frowned and said, "An official of Tiance Mansion, a descendant of the Li family of Zhao County."
Li Shan immediately remembered that this guy had a fight with the Prince Consort Duan Lun in Furong Garden.
Two or three more officials came out one after another to echo. Li Shan took a closer look and his eyes turned cold... You can't blame me this time!
It’s really not me who wants to cause trouble!
"Huairen."
Wen Yanbo reached out and grabbed Li Shan's sleeve, who was about to take a step, "Don't be hasty."
Li Shan looked back, smiled, and slowly but firmly opened Wen Yanbo's hand.
The two people who were insulted were both subordinate officials of Daizhou General Administration. One was Linji County Gong Kanling, and the other was Daizhou Sima and Xiurong County Boer Zhu Yichen.
