In the hall, Li Shan, who was impatient, put on a very interested expression and listened to the chatter of the two people opposite him. If it weren't for the ceremony behind him that hadn't been finished yet, he would have been too lazy to listen to these two guys' nonsense.
But there's nothing we can do about it, even though they have the same father and mother, they are a serious brother-in-law after all.
It has been many years since he came to this era. Li Shan has met a large number of children from aristocratic families. Some of these people are loyal, some are innocent, some are cunning, some are insidious, and even some are shameless like Zhao Yuankai, but he has to Admit it, these people are very capable and extraordinary.
Today, Li Shan met two children from aristocratic families who were average from every angle. This average was not that average, but truly ordinary.
In fact, it is not surprising. Li Shan has traveled all the way hard these years. No matter whether he is a friend or an opponent, there is no fool. And for a thousand-year-old family like the Cui family in Qinghe, which has deep roots and thousands of people, fools should account for the majority. Proportional...even if they are Choi Shin's sons.
Although Cui Xin's status within the Qinghe Cui family was not very high before he became a member of Zhongshushe and was granted the title of Prince of Qinghe County, he was, after all, the direct descendant of the eldest family member of the Qinghe Cui family. Cui Heng and Cui Lun had grown up since childhood. She was taught by a famous teacher, but her qualifications were mediocre and ineffective... This was one of the reasons why Cui Xin doted on his daughter. In comparison, Eleven Niang was much better than her two brothers.
"That's true." Li Shan said with a gentle smile: "It's just that I don't have a real job now... Oh, there is also a Sinongqing with me, but it's mainly for cotton. The two brothers..."
"Counseling military aircraft, taking care of documents..." Li Shan said strangely: "Don't the two brothers know that the younger brother has resigned as the marching commander?"
In fact, Li Shan had already received a letter from Wang Renbiao on his way back to Beijing. He knew that his two uncles wanted to use him to become an official. It was better for the eldest brother to speak out. After all, he could still serve as an official in the future and inherit the title of Duke of Qinghe County. But Cui Lun, the second oldest, is a bit more difficult.
Li Shan understood Cui Lun's intention without even talking a few words. This guy wanted to get credit from Su Dingfang... Similar things actually happened. This is also the reason why Cui Lun had this intention, Li Kai and Li Demou.
If it weren't for Li Shan, how could Li Kai be appointed as acting county magistrate, and also be transferred to Baiquan magistrate?
But during Li Kai's tenure, he was quite skillful in managing politics and managed Xia City effectively. He even went out with him to attack Hu... Li Shan felt a little disdainful in his heart. It was right to want to gild, but he didn't do anything, and he didn't do anything. If you want to share the credit directly for whatever you have the ability to do, that would be too much!
It has to be said that Li Shan is now the heir, but deep down in his heart, the psychological level still remains at the level of the low social class in his previous life... The most annoying thing is that he is the second generation.
"The two brothers are coming to Beijing this time, but they want to take the imperial examination this year?" Li Shan said innocently: "By the way, Zhigui is preparing to take the economics exam when he returns to Beijing this time."
Seeing Cui Lun's face, Li Shan clicked his tongue twice in his heart. Thirty-year-old Ming Jing, fifty-year-old Jinshi... there is no confidence in passing the Ming Jing major, "Brother, if he wants to pass the Ming arithmetic major... I can help you." Get busy."
Cui Heng was still able to hold his own, but Cui Lun, who was in his early twenties, couldn't help it anymore, "Isn't Su Dingfang, the marching director of Lingzhou Road, a disciple of Huairen now?"
"Oh, second brother, do you want to go to Lingzhou?" Li Shan sighed in embarrassment, "It would have been easy to say before, but now..."
Sighing again, Li Shanqing spoke sincerely, "This time my younger brother surrendered his military power and returned to Beijing, it was probably because of the rumors in the past few days... He holds most of the troops in the Guannei Road, and he supports his troops with self-respect. March is not the end of the month. To march into the army would even be akin to raising the enemy's self-respect."
"Although His Majesty conferred the title of King of Wei, and even appointed Brother Fang to succeed him as the Commander-in-Chief of the Lingzhou Road March, how can I be safe?"
"Now, in the Lingzhou army, in addition to Su Dingfang, there are also generals Zhang Zhongjian and brave generals such as Hou Hongtao, Qu Silang and others. They are all subordinates of my younger brother. There are even more old troops from Daizhou. It is really eye-catching for my younger brother to add people to the army. , it’s not a good thing for the second brother either.”
Li Shan sighed for the third time, "Your Majesty was humiliated in the battle at Tiantai Mountain. If you can capture Liang Shidu alive, destroy the Liang Kingdom, and then return to the capital, you will definitely be able to offer prisoners to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, so that King Qin will not be the best, but now... …”
"To be honest with my two brothers, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to go into battle again in this life."
Cui Heng and Cui Lun were both stunned. They didn't know the complicated situation. It was like listening to a book from heaven. They just felt that what they said made sense.
"If the two elder brothers want to become officials, the younger brother may go to Xinde to find his brother... Well, the uncle of the Li family is now the governor of the Yuan Dynasty, and he also needs the help of heroes." Li Shan said in a low voice: "But the situation in Chang'an is unstable now, and the prince, King Qin, The battle for the right to inherit the throne was fierce, so even if he became an official, he would not be allowed to stay in the capital."
In comparison, Cui Heng hopes to follow Li Shan in Chang'an, while Cui Lun hopes to gain credit from Su Dingfang... Li Shan will not cooperate anyway, and after a few words, both roads will be blocked. .
"Yuanzhou?" Cui Lun was a little tempted. He didn't want to go to Baiquanling Li Kai's place, but it would be appropriate to go to Yuanzhou Governor Li Qianyou's command, and Yuanzhou Governor Zhang Shigui was Li Shan's sworn brother.
"Huairen doesn't need to worry!"
A cold voice came from outside the door, and Cui Xin walked in with a cold face, "After we get married, you two will go back to Qinghe. How dare you disobey?!"
Cui Heng and Cui Lun both stood up and stood there tremblingly without saying a word. Li Shan saw that Cui Xin's face was not good and then he stood up with a smile and said, "Father-in-law, the two brothers want to become officials and show off their talents. To promote the name of Qinghe and serve the country three times...isn't this a good thing?"
The two fools cast grateful glances at their brother-in-law. Cui Xin was speechless. They just don’t want to take you to play!
"Where's the poem?"
This change of topic made Li Shan's mind confused, "What... uh..."
Li Shan suddenly remembered that Cui Xin had forced himself to write three poems when he went to Baiquan County to comfort the army a few months ago.
Cui Xin sneered: "I'm afraid I've forgotten it a long time ago, right?"
For a while, Li Shan didn't have anywhere to copy. He had to at least flip through the small book full of pinyin letters. Now he could only explain in a low voice, "I have been busy with the war, so I haven't finished the article yet..."
Cui Xin snorted, "The makeup poem is not finished yet?"
"It's finished." Li Shan didn't think twice, but when he saw Cui Xin's expression getting even uglier... the poem he gave me was not finished, but the makeup poem was prepared early!
Are you that impatient? !
After a moment of silence, Cui Xin waved his sleeves and said, "Why haven't you set off yet?"
Li Shan was speechless. Indeed, he was leaving to return to Zhuangzi today, but is it really okay for you to chase me away like this?
