However, as they chatted, Li Kai also put aside all the troubles in his mind. No matter what the origin of Madam Zhu was, or whether Li Shan had any unknown secrets in the court, these had nothing to do with the moment. .
Li Kai also trusted Li Shan, and the two families have been friends ever since. Although he has his second uncle Li Yaoshi, the friendship between him and Li Shan has not changed... As the king of Handan, Li Shan served as the general manager of the march of Lingzhou Road. He not only controlled tens of thousands of troops, but also Jing. Zhouzhou, Yuanzhou, Longzhou, Ningzhou, as well as Huizhou and Lingzhou that have not yet been recovered are also under its jurisdiction to some extent.
This kind of power could only be surpassed by the King of Qin back then. On the day when Li Kai took office, Li Shan led his personal guards to greet Wuli. Even Li Keshi had some objections in private and thought it was too much for such a courtesy.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and large snowflakes danced wildly in the wind, occasionally flying to everyone's heads, but they were melted by the rising mist from the boiling hot pot below. Li Zhaode burped, "Brother Huai, if there is nothing new today, , lest my father reprimand me..."
"On Zhaode's return trip... take that riding whip to your cousin, it will come in handy." Zhang Wenguan said with a smile.
Li Kai couldn't help but laugh, "Huairen would like to explain something."
Li Shan thought for a while, although there is not much inventory, there are differences in the inventory. For example, if he plans to save Ci for use in his middle and old age, maybe future generations will regard him as the founder of CI that is popular in the world. For example, I only remember one or two lines of many famous lines, which can be used as incomplete poems. However, if they match the scene, a few lines of complete poems can also be extracted as incomplete poems.
Li Shan's eyes fell on the courtyard, and he saw the sky full of wind and snow. He draped a white blanket on a twisting and curved ancient tree in the courtyard, and slowly recited: "When the six flying flowers come into the house, sit and watch the winding birds. branch."
Everyone tasted it for a long time and nodded secretly. Although it was not surprising, it still cut the scene. Li Kai raised his glass and said: "The two remaining sentences of the poem are enough for my sixteenth brother to stop. I will complete the poem later and have a drink together."
Li Shan took a sip of wine and thought that there was no future for him. The last two sentences were... Now it's better to go up to the high building and look out, to clear up all the evil paths in the world.
At this time, guards came in from outside, and Zhu Ba reported in a low voice: "Mr. Xihe, the Duke of Xihe is here..."
"Yeah." Li Shan nodded casually.
Zhu Ba grinned, "I refuse to leave..."
Eating hot pot is a trivial matter, but with so much beef, Li Shan would not be stupid enough to eat it in his own house, which was allocated to Zhang Wenguan.
"Huairen?" Li Kai cast a questioning look. Otherwise, would we be here today?
Li Shan waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, Mr. Yan Bo is here to tear off those cotton armors."
The lawsuit with Shaofu Supervisor Li Yuan, Prince of Lujiang County, has been going on for more than a month. Li Shancai will not go into battle in person, leaving everything to Wen Yanbo... Anyway, when the army was sent out that year, it was Li Yuan who specified that Wen Yanbo should take care of the army's logistics. of.
As a result, Wen Yanbo suffered from plywood for more than a month. Regarding these cotton armors, Li Shan did not want to get rich, but he regretted what he had promised... You must know that he still has foreign debts, although he may not be able to pay them back.
Li Yuan, on the other hand, regarded the Shaofu as his own territory and was not willing to accept Li Shan's extortion. He gave him a low price at first, but then the situation became stalemate.
After all, it wasn't a big deal, and it wasn't too big of a fuss. Wen Yanbo didn't want to break up with Li Yuan. After all, Li Yuan had a close relationship with the prince Li Jiancheng, so he turned to break up with Li Shan.
Continue to eat meat, continue to drink, continue to enjoy the snow, but not long after, Zhu Ba came back with a sad face, "Mr. Lang, Mr. Dou is here too."
What's going on?
Dou Gui must have come to the door because of something. Just as Li Shan was about to speak, Zhao Da limped in, "Mr. Lang, Nanyang County Duke and former governor Shi came to the door."
"Something really happened." Li Shan looked calm, "Go back now..."
"Lang Jun, they came to the door..."
Following Zhao Dayouyou's words, Wen Yanbo and Dou Gui were at the door where the door was still closed. Zhang Shigui entered one after another, and walking at the end was the new former governor Shi Li Qianyou... Li Zhaode grinned and shrank back.
Dou Gui smiled and said, "Huairen is in such a good mood today."
Seeing that Wen Yanbo and Zhang Shigui were silent, Li Qianyou smoothed things over and said, "Your Highness is planning the war. It's harmless to have a few drinks in your spare time. Maybe you have a new work."
Wen Yanbo took a few steps closer and took a look at the beef slices that were tumbling in the pot. He turned around and looked at Zhang Shigui. Both of them couldn't laugh or cry... They both remembered the time when Shuozhou welcomed back tens of thousands of young men and women, and Li Shanrang A man slaughtered a calf and hid in his tent, eating meat and drinking wine. It was so cool.
"This... this is not beef." Li Shan coughed twice, "Brother Demou sent it... By the way, what kind of meat is it?"
Li Kai looked ridiculous. This is not a big deal. If you admit it, you will accept it. But you want to throw the pot to me?
Wen Yanbo said expressionlessly: "If you are plundering Zuoyun County, if you are insulting the enemy chief, you might as well eat a few bites of beef."
Li Shan fell silent. After he returned to Beijing last year, he once heard Fang Yizhi mention that Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, under the orders of the King of Qin, intended to revise the newly released "Wude Code". One of the articles was that cattle should be killed without reason. Those who do so are included in the Ten Unforgivable Crimes.
"Mr. Yan Bo is joking." Li Shan waved his hand, "If you don't go and get the bowls and chopsticks yet, Mr. Dou, please sit down. Brother Wu An and uncle Qianyou, sit down quickly. It's noon, haven't you eaten yet?"
Zhang Shigui saluted solemnly and said: "Your Highness, today I will inspect the north of Baiquan County with Chang Shi. When I encounter Liang Shidu, I will send an envoy."
From mid-November to now, there have been two back and forths, and the two sides are still arguing. The Liang division agreed to release King Li Shenfu of Xiangyi, but refused to release Duke Duan Decao of Pingyuan County.
Li Shan not only wanted Li Shenfu and Duan Decao, but also insisted on asking for Huangfuli, and even asked Liang Division to release the Tang soldiers captured in the previous two battles.
Liang Shidu was not willing to do anything, but Li Shan was not willing either. The two sides were arguing back and forth... Lu Jilan guessed that they had retreated too quickly. Liang Shidu was currently stationed in Lingzhou, which was not very close.
After going back and forth twice, with letters exchanged during the period, the general terms had been set, and the dispute between the two parties still centered on Huangfuli.
Dou Gui, Wen Yanbo and others were a little confused as to why Li Shan insisted on asking for Huangfu Li, but they knew that Li Shan valued Huangfu Zhong very much.
Li Qianyou hesitated for a moment, "Right here?"
"If you are not an envoy from an enemy country, you are right here." Li Shan waved his hand and said, "Sit down and eat some meat first and let someone bring it to you."
So, when Lu Jilan was brought here, what he saw was a steaming hot pot.
The table was full again, and Li Zhaode, Li Kai, and Zhang Wenguan naturally had to give up their seats. They smiled and introduced this way of eating to Dou Gui and Wen Yanbo. Li Zhaode picked up a piece of mutton and put it into the soup pot. After it changed color, he dipped it in. Order mushroom sauce and serve it respectfully to Li Qianyou's bowl... He escaped today and was caught.
Under the eaves, Fan Shiyi, Zhao Da and several guards were busy. Some were cutting meat carefully with daggers, and some were beating the meat in the basin with mallets, pounding all kinds of meat before kneading it. into pills.
"The King of Handan is in great spirits."
This was the fourth time we met, and this time the smile on Lu Jilan's face was the most forced.
In a duel between two knights, such as the duel at the top of the Forbidden City, Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng are full of strength and can be called rivals, but if one of them bites a candied haws, wears slippers, and brings a kitchen knife...either... Seeking death, or completely ignoring you.
