When Li Shan left the Pei Mansion, the report of Su Dingfang's victory over the Liang Division had already spread in Chang'an, and everyone was praising Zhao Guogong's exquisite military tactics.
Li Shan knew that as the former coach of the Lingzhou Army, it was best to be honest at this time, especially since Su Dingfang was recognized as a disciple, so he simply did not enter the imperial city and went straight back to Zhuangzi. Anyway, his marriage leave was not over yet. .
The wedding leave in the Tang Dynasty was nine days. Logically speaking, Li Shan got married on March 13 and it had already passed. However, Li Shan took ten more days for various reasons such as his in-laws were far away, and he also used the excuse. I took one extra day off every ten days and took three more days.
In fact, Li Shan has not been to the Sinong Temple Shangya for a long time. On the one hand, because the two young ministers of Sinong Temple are both from the King of Qi, Li Shan sensitively feels that these two people will definitely cause trouble. On the one hand, he didn't want to enter the imperial city... He was really unhappy being called by Li Yuan every afternoon more than a month ago.
The officials at Sinong Temple did not dare to complain. Even Li Yuan only laughed and cursed a few times. However, those trolls at Yushitai did not know if they were just trying to complete the assessment targets. Li Shan could only find excuses to ask for leave...well, traveling long distances during wedding leave and funeral leave did qualify him for more leave.
Speaking of which, officials in the Tang Dynasty had a lot of holidays. They had one day off every ten days, and they had long holidays during the winter solstice, Spring Festival, and cold food. The longest one was the Spring Festival, and they did not go to office until after the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
In addition, there are a lot of reasons for asking for leave or taking holidays. For example, if Li Shan is getting married himself, if his children are getting married, it will be nine days of leave. If it is a close relative, it will be three to five days of leave.
Let’s not talk about bereavement leave. There is also crown leave. For example, Li Shanjia was also able to take leave last year, and relatives within five servers who were crowned can also take leave. Similar leave is clothing conferment leave, dress up leave, family visit leave, and memorial leave. There are many names for holidays, field holidays, etc.
After returning to Zhuangzi, Li Shan summoned Fan Shiyi, "Take them all back, don't keep an eye on them, and ask Yuan Junzhang how the house in Chang'an City is being repaired!"
Let’s not talk about whether to attack Pei Shuying if they win. If they lose, Li Shan can’t guarantee whether his mother can escape the disaster. The so-called deal actually maintains the Schrödinger state in the hearts of Li Shan and Pei Shiju. If they say it is, it is indeed true. No, indeed no.
But one thing is for sure, before the outcome is decided, Pei Shiju will not mess around in Zhuangzi, because Li Shan has proved with his actual actions that Pei Shiju cannot afford such a price... to be able to cook in your Pei Mansion If something goes wrong in the house, can't it be done in the backyard?
In fact, during today's meeting, Pei Shiju was nervous all the time, because if he didn't follow the rules, he knew he couldn't play with Li Shan... If nothing else, if he caused a car accident or an accident, Pei Shiju would probably end up like this. Lux, after all, is an octogenarian.
It’s just that Li Shan is unwilling to do it, and he doesn’t want to do it. Once he uses this method to solve the problem, he will definitely fall in the eyes of Cui Xin, Princess Pingyang and others. The most important thing is that he will be noticed by Li Shimin. From a long-term perspective, Saying no is not a good idea.
And Li Shan has been running Sun Moon Lake for so many years. It's okay for Pei Shiju to plug in a few eyes and ears, but he definitely can't start any civil strife. In this case, he simply drives Yuan Junzhang out and brings him down. This is the only thing in Zhuangzi that Li Shan can't do. Controlled.
In the backyard, Cui Shiniang, who was discussing something with Mo Xiang, saw Li Shan coming in and asked with a smile: "Mr. Lang is back so early."
"It's not like I'm going to the Yamen." Li Shan muttered, and after watching Mo Xiang retreat, he said, "Today's military report indicates a great victory for Helan."
"It has spread throughout Zhuangzi." Cui Shiniang served Li Shan and changed into his regular robe, "Is Zhao Guogong really going to return to the court?"
"Nine times out of ten." Although he had guessed it a long time ago, Li Shan still looked gloomy and said with force, "It won't be like this in the future."
Cui Shiniang was a little surprised and asked in a low voice: "Did Mr. Lang go to see Pei Hongda?"
"Well, we had a great conversation." Li Shan snorted, "Stop it... stop it... How dare he, Pei Shiju, stop it?"
"Aren't you afraid of being driven out and killed by someone?"
"Even if he returns home after serving as an official, there will still be Pei Ji in the court. If the East Palace wins, will he be merciful?"
Glancing at Cui Shiniang, Li Shan added: "A few days ago, in the "Edict on the Crowning of Shatai Monks, Nuns, Taoist Priests and Women," Dongshan Temple was included in the abolition, but the temple fields have long been owned by Sun Moon Lake and are under the name of the Li family. From now on, Dongshan Temple will be This is the Li family temple and no outsiders are allowed in or out."
In fact, Li Shan still didn't quite believe that Pei Shiju had no idea that his daughter was coming to Dongshan Temple, so he coincidentally chose the day when his mother came to the temple to offer incense on the first day of the new year, and just before Dongshan Temple was about to be dismantled.
"By the way, Mo Xiang just now..." Cui Shiniang pursed her lips and smiled, "Mo Xiang is already eighteen years old and should have gotten married a long time ago."
Li Shan was a little confused after hearing this. There are Zhou and Xiaoman beside me. Do you still want to push Mo Xiang over?
It had not been a year or two since Mo Xiang joined the Li family. If he had the intention, he would have joined him long ago.
"It's Qu Silang." Cui Shiniang said with a smile: "Many of the guards in Daidi and Shandong are the matchmakers of Mo Xiang..."
Li Shan knew this, and it was something he, Ling Jing, and Zhu Wei deliberately did to eliminate the estrangement through in-law relationships. Although Mo Xiang was not married yet, she was the maid of the Li family and the personal maid of the Zhu family, with a high status. It's tall but not light, so it's the most suitable.
"Qu Silang..." Li Shan couldn't help but laugh. This guy didn't like the blind date, but he liked the matchmaker?
"What do you think, Mr. Lang?"
Li Shan hesitated for a moment, "Qu Silang came to surrender after the battle in Guji Town. He made meritorious service in the battle at Cangtou River. Last year, he was awarded the title of Marquis of Kaiguo County when he rescued me from Tiantai Mountain. He also made meritorious service in the Yuanzhou War. He may even be promoted to a noble title." "
Cui Shiniang whispered: "Before the expedition, Qu Silang promised to marry after the war."
Li Shanzhuo didn't know whether it was Qu Silang who took the initiative or Mo Xiang... If it was Mo Xiang, then this woman's eyesight is really good. Many of the guards were knighted, but Su Dingfang married Longxi Li Wang Junhao was engaged to the Liu family of Jie County, Zhou Zhoulang had a wife and concubines for a long time, Hou Hongtao could barely be considered a descendant of the aristocratic family, coming from the Hou family of Sanshui, and Zhang Zhongjian was too ugly.
After all the calculations, only Qu Silang was from a commoner and good-looking, and most likely could not match any girl from aristocratic family, so he was Mo Xiang's best choice.
"Let's wait until Qu Silang returns to Beijing." Li Shan didn't dare to make such a guarantee. He would not gain much from the two battles in Jingzhou and Yuanzhou. Su Dingfang was already the Duke of the country and would be transferred back to Chang'an. His military achievements were very great. It may be divided among Zhang Zhongjian, Qu Silang, Hou Hongtao, He Fang and others.
If Qu Silang can further advance to the rank of Duke or County Duke, there will be no chance for the prestigious family members, but there is still hope for those who are one level below. It may not necessarily be based on Mo Xiang who is not particularly good in appearance but is just a maid.
Li Shan thought to himself that there were not many good and unwavering men like him.
