The reputation of Wang Renbiao in Chang'an City mainly comes from two aspects. One is naturally due to his friendship with the now famous Wei King Li Huairen, and the other is because he was kicked out by his aunt and Princess Chang'an.
But he is not resentful or even cynical because of being kicked out, nor does he use his power to bully others because of his good relationship with Li Huairen. Moreover, Wang Renbiao is now highly praised by the world because he acted righteously for his friends at Dongshan Restaurant late last year.
In Li Shan's view, Wang Renbiao was a very free and easy man, with no ambition for an official career. He preferred to have his wife and children on the hot bed, but today he seemed a little abnormal and seemed to be worried.
"The eldest son or the second son of the Cui family?" Li Shan smiled, "Fortunately, brother Xiaoqing told me in advance that he actually wanted to get some credit from brother Dingfang."
Wang Renbiao shook his head, "Fantasy."
In terms of relationships, Li Kai, Li Zhaode and Zhang Wenguan were all much stronger than them, including Li Kai's father Li Keshi. However, Wang Renbiao received Li Kai's letter and Li Shan always put Li Keshi in a less important position. After all, compared with Zhang Shigui, Xue Wanche, Su Dingfang, Hu Yan and others, Li Keshi's ability is more than inferior.
"Where's the Qinghe County Prince?"
"No objection."
"That's good." Wang Renbiao said with a smile: "I'm afraid of being forced by the Qinghe County Duke to do this kind of thing, but the Cui family of Qinghe is just a little..."
"No." Li Shan put down his chopsticks, raised his glass and took a sip, "After all, it was my younger brother who personally chopped off Cui Bo's head."
Wang Renbiao was dumbfounded for a moment. Indeed, although they were married to the Cui family, the Cui family in Qinghe and Li Shan were not harmonious, mainly because of the incident that year.
"I met Luo Yang and Cui Hao a few days ago..."
"Oh?" Li Shan smiled nonchalantly. Among the Cui clan in Qinghe, Cui Bo was probably the one who hated him the most. His cousin was beheaded by him and was humiliated.
Li Shan once heard Wei Zheng say that after Cui Hao returned to Beijing, he specifically complained to the prince in front of him. However, the prince was not stupid, and Wang Gui, Wei Zheng and others were not stupid. If Cui Hao was killed to quell the rebellion, then It's helping Donggong.
Otherwise, if something went wrong, the then Hebei Province Marching Marshal Li Daoxuan, King of Huaiyang, would be able to quell the chaos again openly and honestly. The credit is secondary. The key is that the blame must be shouldered by the East Palace, because he was ordered to appease Wei Zheng and Shandong. Cui Hao was recommended by Li Jiancheng.
"By the way, I haven't thanked Brother Xiaoqing yet." Li Shan raised the wine cup and said solemnly: "Fortunately, Brother Xiaoqing stood up for me about the restaurant."
Wang Renbiao also raised his wine cup, shook his head and said, "But Huairen was forced to withdraw his troops and invite himself back to Beijing after the great victory."
"I just came back to practice some training."
Wang Renbiao drank it all in one gulp and looked at his friends across from him carefully. He rushed back to Chang'an at the most critical moment to seize the throne. Was it to come back to recuperate and watch a show?
After all, he knew Li Shan too well. Wang Renbiao knew that Li Shan's every move often contained profound meanings. After all, he had not become an official and could not think of too deep a place, but he could see one thing. Li Shan rushed back to Chang'an at this time. , then the decision must have been made.
Only Wang Renbiao knew that Li Keshi and Li Kai and his son were die-hard members of the King of Qin's lineage, and Ling Jing was a close aide of the King of Qin. Pei Shiju and Li Dewu had both joined the East Palace. If Li Shan had to make a choice, who would he choose? Nature is self-evident.
Otherwise, with tens of thousands of troops stationed in Xiaoguan, not only can they make great achievements, but they can also sit back and watch the two princes decide the winner... Wang Renbiao suddenly asked: "There were rumors in Chang'an years ago, and I still don't know who Du Buke is." It was Khan Tuli who did it.”
Li Shan paused while picking up the food. He raised his head and took a deep look at Wang Renbiao. This friend was doubting the source of the rumor... Mingli was asking who wrote it, but as long as he wasn't stupid, Then you should know that it cannot be Tuli Khan who was just put back, but Ashina Sheer who hated Li Shan deeply and even promised to withdraw his troops after taking his head.
So Wang Renbiao was secretly asking, is there Li Huairen behind the rumors?
Being able to ask such a question meant that Wang Renbiao had already made some assumptions, but Li Shan only smiled and said: "Who knows, brother She'er and the younger brother are intertwined in love and hate, and Tuli Khan is the younger brother's life and death friend..."
Wang Renbiao almost spit out a mouthful of wine, these words were too ridiculous.
"Speaking of how arrogant Luo Shou and Luo Yang are, you must know that Luo Yi doesn't dare to be so arrogant!" Li Shan quickly changed the topic, "Brother Xiaoqing, don't worry, I will definitely say this for you later!"
"Forget it, Princess Pingyang has already whipped Luo Yang." Wang Renbiao said with a smile: "Besides, the Zhang family elders and Zhao Cihao were there that day, so we didn't suffer any loss anyway."
After the incident happened, letters were sent to Li Shan from various channels. Of course he knew very well, "Is he the eldest son of the Marquis of Nan'an County?"
"Well, the one who suffered the Wuwu disaster in Furong Garden back then."
"Has Zhao Cihao recovered from his injury?"
"He has recovered a long time ago." Wang Renbiao clicked his tongue: "Speaking of the fight in the Forbidden Garden, Zhao Cihao's injuries were actually much more serious than Luo Shou's, but the former recovered while the latter was disabled."
"He deserves it! Who told him to move around!" Li Shan sneered. In fact, Luo Shou's leg was not necessarily lame back then, but when he was debriding with Yu Hu Chun, Luo Shou woke up because of pain. When I first saw Li Shan, he had no time to make a move. He turned over as soon as he exerted force on his back. He didn't know whether to make a move or run away... and then he became lame.
Luo Yi must have felt that Li Shan did it on purpose...Li Shan felt that he was really wronged.
"In a few days, when brother Xiaoqing comes out of his filial piety period, let the eldest son of the Zhang family and Zhao Cihao go to a restaurant to get together."
Although these two people...one's mother is the cousin of Princess Qin, and the wife of the other is the cousin of Princess Qin, they are both of the Qin King's lineage, but because of the fight in the restaurant that day, Li Shan was also considered a master.
After a pause, Li Shan sneered and said: "Speaking of it, the Marquis of Nan'an County is also considered my younger brother's old subordinate. That debt... is King Qin's brother-in-law after all, so I can only settle it with Zhang Yong!"
Wang Renbiao was stunned. Zhang Cong, the Marquis of Nan'an County, transferred from Tiance Mansion to the Sixteenth Guards after the Battle of Tiantai Mountain last year and served as General Zuo Qianniuwei of the Beiya Forbidden Army. He was indeed the old subordinate of Li Shan who had controlled the Beiya Forbidden Army. But this What kind of account is to be settled?
Li Shan chuckled, "Let Zhang Yong ask his father."
Yesterday at Lingyan Pavilion, among the many people, Zhang Cong was the one who drank the most. If he hadn't pretended to be drunk later, he would have really passed out... If he whispered something about the Xuanwu Sect's changes, Li Yuan would be afraid. His face changed suddenly. If he whispered something to Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, let alone the prince, I'm afraid the King of Qin's face would not look very good.
Wang Renbiao heard the ridicule in his friend's words, nodded with a smile, and said casually: "A few days ago, I had a banquet with the Cui family in a restaurant, and I happened to meet King Ma Bin in the West Market..."
Li Shan's expression was stagnant. Well, he finally knew why Wang Renbiao came to visit in such a hurry. This was because he suspected Ma Zhou.
