If Li Shan was hopeless before, now he is almost despairing.
At first, Li Shan didn't understand why the two prime ministers Yang Gongren and Chen Shuda came to visit, let alone why Wang Gui and Wei Zheng could get together with Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.
But after Chen Shuda explained the sentence "Huairen is unfair", Li Shan understood everything.
Although Chen Shuda said in a tone similar to ridicule... After half a year of fierce fighting, all the generals made great contributions, but Wen Yanbo, the Duke of Xihe County, took care of the logistics and rectified the provisions and weapons, and his contribution was not small.
This is true, but it is rather inappropriate at this time and on this occasion... A lot of generals who have come to establish relationships are waiting. After all, Wen Yanbo did not have the military merit of leading an army on the battlefield, so where can he get it? Him!
But a few thoughtful people heard it. Li Shan, a ghostly person, was naturally the first to hear it. It was inappropriate to say such things at this time and on this occasion, but it was the most inappropriate thing to say. The person who said this is Chen Shuda himself!
It’s not that Chen Shuda is the prime minister, but that Chen Shuda is also a general who cannot lead troops to attack, but is a minister who manages the government... Those who follow him, whether they are from the East Palace or Tiance Mansion, are all of the same type!
What does this mean?
Of course it shows that these civil servants headed by Chen Shuda also have an extreme desire for Lingyan Pavilion... You, Li Huairen, actually suggested that His Majesty only rank generals. What should we do?
This is the time to call for punishment!
Li Shan sadly discovered that he had too neglected the appeal of Lingyan Pavilion's list of heroes to people of this era. There were really not many opportunities for such a name to go down in history...
Chen Shuda, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wang Gui represent another force among the aristocratic families... Not every family can produce famous generals like Li Mengchang, Zheng Rentai, and Li Yaoshi. For example, The Cui family of Qinghe and the Lu family of Fanyang mostly passed down their family history through classics and history.
But in this era when aristocratic families are so popular in the world, there is a relationship between the family and the royal family that is both wary of and supportive of each other. Within the family, those children who are unable to make contributions on the battlefield also need something like the "Lingyan Pavilion Meritorious List" "To maintain his own reputation and the status of his direct descendants.
The most important thing is that Li Shan suddenly realized that social progress has always promoted the segmentation of any industry. Although the distinction between civil and military affairs in history clearly began in the Northern Song Dynasty, and although the Tang Dynasty also had many famous ministers who served as generals and prime ministers, In fact, there are already signs of something similar. The military generals of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms who were domineering and causing trouble in the world were just a trigger.
In other words, the Han Dynasty really did not have pure civil servants and military generals, but there were some in the Tang Dynasty... For example, Wen Yanbo and Du Ruhui were both known as the talents of Wang Zuo, but if they were to lead an army to guard one side, it would be a nightmare. Damn it.
Li Shan couldn't help but wonder that maybe the list of twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion compiled by Li Shimin during the Zhenguan period was indeed inspired by the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai... After all, they were too similar, but Li Shimin was among them. A considerable number of civil servants without military commanding experience were included, such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, and Changsun Wuji.
Li Shan glanced at everyone's faces one by one, forced a smile, and looked at Chen Shuda and Yang Gongren, "Don't Duke Guan and Duke Jiang need to go to the Yamen today?"
Yang Gongren said with a smile: "After today's meeting in Liangyi Palace, His Majesty gave a banquet and mentioned that Huairen accepted Jiangdu County Duke as his disciple today, so that I and Brother Zicong came to watch the ceremony."
Li Shan moved his cheeks. Well, I said it bluntly. You guessed it... His Majesty asked us to come. Otherwise, why would the two prime ministers care about the apprenticeship ceremony of Wan Xuandao, the prince of Jiangdu County? ah!
Chen Shuda said happily: "Originally, Prime Minister Pei was coming... In the end, His Majesty appointed him."
Oh, in terms of the relationship between Pei Ji and Li Yuan, and in terms of Pei Ji's ranking second only to Li Shimin among the heroes of Yuanmou in Taiyuan, if civil servants are included in the list, Pei Ji really has a lot of hope... Although this guy was in Hedong back then. He was completely defeated by Song Jingang.
Li Shan turned to look at Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling. The former had a rare look in his eyes, but the good old man Fang Xuanling explained with a smile, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Qin are also... The Prime Minister is watching the ceremony. The two Highnesses have no time to get away, so they sent We will follow."
Yang Gongren looked at Li Shan with a funny look. He knew in his heart that if he really selected ten people, considering that the battle for the right to inherit the throne has not yet ended, he should be able to grab a position... He once guarded Liangzhou for many years and defended the Turks in the north. , suppressing Longyou in the south. Although he did not have much military exploits, he was definitely considered to be on his own.
Li Shan really had a headache. It hurt so much that he wanted to fall over... and fall into a vegetative state!
Yes, I have worked in many, many types of jobs in my previous life. In addition to my job as a doctor, I also worked odd jobs and worked as a tutor... Unfortunately, I was rejected several times because of my poor appearance. I also worked as a salesman and a street vendor. The worst time was I also went to the construction site to move bricks. I remember it was when I graduated from the third year of junior high school. It took me three months to move bricks to earn the tuition for the first year of high school.
But I have worked in so many types of work, and I have never taken the blame. I am really not good at this!
In the following apprenticeship ceremony, although Li Shan tried his best to smile, in the eyes of the guests... he still had a dead face.
Li Shan kept yelling in his heart, using the same words he had cursed over and over again in the past few days... You, Li Yuan, are really shameless!
Does this count as being shameless and invincible? !
It was only just now that Li Shan fully understood why Li Yuan wanted to expose his suggestions... It was probably because Li Yuan didn't think it through at the time, and most likely he didn't consider the civil servants in the court, because Li Shan was the twenty-eight general of Yuntai. Setting a precedent caused the two people to circle the leading general.
After Li Shan left, Li Yuan came back to his senses and thought it was not appropriate... He simply revealed the news and specifically named Li Huairen, the successor king of Wei, who had made the suggestion and it was Li Huairen who drafted the list of meritorious officials.
To put it bluntly, Li Shanlai was asked to take the blame.
Perhaps seeing that no civil servants had come to visit in the past two days, Li Yuan simply encouraged the two prime ministers to come over today... They were here to ruin things.
After the apprenticeship ceremony was over, Li Shan and Wan Xuandao, who had been invisible today, couldn't wait to see off the guests... You all get out of here!
But Chen Shuda's words made everyone stop and stare at Li Shan with bright eyes.
"His Majesty is planning to leave for Renzhi Palace to escape the summer heat in five days. Huairen needs to submit a draft list before then."
Li Shan sat back, skillfully put on a dead face, and glanced left and right, "You can try to recommend them, and I will choose the most famous one to present to His Majesty."
