It was late at night. In addition to a big bed, there were three or two desks in the small room. There were some documents scattered on them. Cui Xin glanced at them casually. They were related to the deployment of grain, ordnance, and civilian labor. .
"Since Na Ma Zhou left, you have lost someone to take care of the paperwork." Cui Xin took a sip of tea and frowned slightly. After all, he is a member of a noble family. He really couldn't drink such bad tea, so he simply put it down and said, "I really want it. Keep Zhigui?"
"Zhigui refuses to enter the scholar's examination, maybe he will pass the economics examination in a few years." Li Shan grinned, thinking about who copied the three poems... This time it is better not to catch Li Bai, the sheep, to pluck the wool.
"Zhigui also mentioned that Huairen and Zhuyu are in front." Cui Xin sighed: "At the beginning of the year, only a few people were admitted to the imperial examinations, and Zhongshu Ling Yang Gong, who was also the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was also quite helpless. "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" 》In front of you, it’s really tasteless.”
In the scientific examinations in the early Tang Dynasty, the examiners were all ministers of the Ministry of Personnel.
Glancing at the absent-minded Li Shan, Cui Xin snorted, "It's been a few months. Isn't there a new song?"
"Uh..." Li Shan came to his senses and said cautiously: "Only one."
"Don't moan yet!"
"I'll save it for May next year." Li Shan smiled wryly and spread his hands, "These three poems... let my son-in-law think about it."
Welcoming the bride in May next year, that poem is Li Shan’s big move... to promote makeup.
"To be honest, my father-in-law, I have been mentally and physically drained from the recent war effort, and I really have no time to take care of him."
Cui Xin sighed and advised earnestly: "Huairen, now you have been canonized as a county king, your fame has spread all over the world, your military achievements are only matched by those of the King of Qin, and you are no longer the young man who came north from the south of the Ling Dynasty."
"You can't take such risks again and again. Do you know how worried your mother will be when she finds out?"
"You are not afraid of death, but you must also take care of your family."
This statement makes it very clear. You are not afraid of death, but you must also think about your mother and Cui Shiniang, who will be welcomed into the house next year.
"Yes, yes, yes." Li Shan agreed repeatedly, "The next war will be fought with a large army, and no more dangerous things will be done."
Cui Xin just sneered, "You are constantly taking risks, so I really can't trust you."
Li Shan smiled dryly, "Don't worry, father-in-law, for the last time... you will get married next year, and your majesty will not send your son-in-law to lead the army again."
"real!"
"Although there was civil strife in the Turks, the emaciated camels were bigger than horses, making it difficult for them to invade on a large scale. However, it was also difficult for the Tang Dynasty to attack Wuyuan County."
"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse?" Cui Xin blinked, thinking that he would have to look up what allusion this was... He flipped through the book and couldn't find it, it was from "A Dream of Red Mansions".
Li Shan secretly scolded himself for being a bitch, and added: "What's more, the matter of seizing the direct descendants has not yet ended."
After Cui Xin heard this, he stared at the young man in front of him for a long time, who seemed to be a little darker, and suddenly sighed, "That's it, that's it."
"Father-in-law?"
"You, Li Huairen, are the most talented poet in Chang'an. You are usually gentle and elegant, but in fact you are heroic." Cui Xin shook his head and said: "During the war in Shandong, you stuck to Guantao and refused to wait for help, and finally captured and killed Liu Heitai."
"For ten days in Mayi, nothing could be done, but you refused to give up. You turned around and attacked at night, killed Yu Sheshe, and forced Yuan Junzhang to surrender."
"He is so heroic and extraordinary. What's the point of trying to persuade him?"
After hearing these words, Li Shan fell silent and stared at the ground with his eyes slightly lowered.
In fact, I am not heroic, in fact, I am just unwilling, that's all.
In my previous life, I was a rural child. I went from the village primary school to the town middle school, then to the county high school, to college, to the postgraduate and Ph.D. exams... I fought all the way, but I was just unwilling to give in.
What's more, in a modern society with a fine division of labor, Li Shan always has a feeling that a huge city is like an ant nest, with a population of tens of millions like densely packed ants, and that he was one of those ants in his previous life.
A diligent and hard-working worker ant.
No one knows who I am, no one cares about what I do, and I have almost no sense of existence.
In this era, everything is different. How can I be willing to continue to be a worker ant?
In the fourth year of Wude, after Li Shimin had laid the foundation for the unification of the Tang Dynasty, he made great achievements, sealed the wolf as his subordinate, displayed his power beyond the Great Wall, and drove away the enemy in Mobei. This was a husband's move!
I am no longer just a worker ant, and I will never be one again.
I want to leave my mark on this era, I want to leave my name in the history books, and I want future generations to know what I, Li Shan, have done when they read history.
Li Shan raised his head, and the smile on his lips was mixed with a hint of pride and a hint of determination.
Cui Xin didn't say anything anymore. He just sighed in his heart. When he chose a husband for his daughter, he only thought that he could not be worthy of anyone other than a hero. But in the end, the one he chose...perhaps the one who took the initiative to come to the door was indeed the best in the world. The suitable one, but also the most tossing one in the world.
"When I return to Beijing in ten days, Princess Jiang will be responsible for many matters." Cui Xin felt a little tired and casually said a few words to prepare for a rest. Unexpectedly, Li Shan asked a question that surprised him.
"Mr. Jiang Guo?" Cui Xin was extremely surprised. He thought about it before saying slowly: "Since the battle at Tiantai Mountain, I haven't seen any changes in him."
"Starting from Chang'an, I didn't hear anything about it on the way..."
Li Shan shook his head, "No, Jiang Guogong has never been involved in the fight for the right to inherit the throne, but today he suddenly mentioned the fact that the prince was brother Dingfang and Zhang Sanlang was unfair. It would not be mentioned casually."
"His Majesty was besieged on Mount Tiantai that day, and Duke Jiang Guo was in Chang'an... Doesn't he know what the prince did?"
"Or did he acquiesce that day and even join the prince's disciples?"
"After all, the day was at stake. If my son-in-law hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid His Majesty and the King of Qin would not have been able to escape this disaster."
"If Duke Jiang wants to secure his position, it is not impossible for him to turn to the prince."
Cui Xin fell into a long silence. He had no talent in this area. Li Shan then turned to ask about the situation in Beijing... On that night a month ago, Weng and his son-in-law revealed their true feelings. There was no need to avoid these topics anymore.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin successively transferred Han Liang, Huang Junhan, Li Shiji, Yu Zhining, and Wang Junkuo to the capital." Cui Xin recalled, "Han Liang was the right-hand man of the King of Qin at that time, no weaker than Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Xue Shou."
"I heard the King of Qin mention it." Li Shan asked in a low voice: "Do Huang Junhan, Li Shiji, and Wang Junkuo hold any positions?"
"Both Huang Junhan and Li Shiji were old generals of Wagang. They followed the King of Qin to defeat Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, and after pacifying Jianghuai, they were both given titles and titles. When they entered the court this time, the former became the governor of Yongzhou, and the latter became the Sima of Yongzhou."
Li Shan looked confused, "Yongzhou?"
Cui Xin looked at his son-in-law strangely and said, "It's Jingzhao County."
