"Shi Hua, Duke of Yizhou, and Huangfu Wuyi, held the Talisman Festival to appease the southwest for many years. He eliminated corruption and violence, appointed honest officials, and enforced strict laws to bring Shu back to its heart."
Sixteenth.
"Zheng Shanguo, the Duke of Xingyang County, ranked first in the examination during the Sui Dynasty. After entering the Tang Dynasty, he took charge of Dali Temple and was also the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He obeyed the law and had many good deeds in pacifying Hebei and Shandong. He fought fiercely in the pass for half a year, and it was also thanks to the financing of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
This is the seventeenth... Well, the previous Huangfu Wuyi was a member of the King of Qin, and Zheng Shanguo was the prince's confidant.
Seeing that Li Yuan's expression had gradually softened, Pei Shiju was a little bored and thought in his mind that His Majesty's trip to escape the summer heat was also an opportunity, but he would consider whether it was necessary.
Pei Shiju vaguely felt that something was not right. This was an intuition and there was no obvious clue. However, a few days ago, the two generals of the Qianniu Guards, Li Keshi and Zhang Cong, protected the Chengqian Palace very closely... Obviously Much stricter than in previous months.
Pei Shiju glanced at Li Shan, and he guessed that it might be the handiwork of the Wei Si King, because it only happened after Li Keshi returned to the court.
And it's not just Li Keshi, nor just the Chengqian Palace. In recent times, Pei Shiju has keenly discovered that the forces of King Qin's lineage have maintained a high level of vigilance. King Qin even lived in the sky for several days in a row. Ce Mansion rather than the palace.
Pei Shiju sighed deeply in his heart. He was indeed almost ready and could launch it at any time. He needed an opportunity to choose the time.
In fact, in theory, this opportunity is very good. The eyes of both the government and the public are staring at the list of Lingyan Pavilion heroes that will be released soon. If we take action at this time, we might be able to catch the opponent off guard... But Pei Shiju also told himself that this It's impossible. This matter was caused by Li Shan. How could he not be careful secretly?
It is hard to say whether this summer vacation can be an opportunity. In fact, Pei Shiju knew that the best opportunity had passed. When Su Dingfang left office and returned to Beijing, Li Keshi had not arrived in Chang'an at that time. At that time, only Zhang Cong was alert. Qian Palace, and Li Shimin basically lives in Cheng Qian Palace. If the palace can be resolutely changed, there is indeed a good chance of killing the King of Qin.
But the so-called best opportunity was for Pei Shiju, and he could not criticize the prince Li Jiancheng for being indecisive, because it was not yet time for him to ask for a palace change to ascend the throne... It was just that Pei Shiju himself needed this palace change.
Pei Shiju's eyes fell on Li Shan. If there were no accidents, it would be this year, but if there were no accidents, it would be after returning from summer vacation.
At this time, Li Shan had already thought of the twenty-third person.
"Liu Zhenghui, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Xing Guogong, assisted His Majesty in the Jinyang Uprising and made extraordinary achievements. He was one of the heroes of Taiyuan Yuanmou proposed by His Majesty. In his early years, he was ordered to stay in Taiyuan. Although he was defeated by Song Jingang, he was unyielding and had integrity."
Li Yuan was already a little dumbfounded at this time. Seeing Li Shan stop, he asked, "Is there more?"
Li Shan hurriedly said: "The next one is Geng Guogong Feng Ang. He has raised twenty states to submit to him. Now he is guarding Lingnan. We should use this to win his heart."
Everyone was speechless, even Feng Ang was included. You, Li Shan, are so full that you can hold on!
Li Yuan sighed, "Is there more?"
Li Shan replied sincerely, "It's still very long... By the way, please forgive me, Your Highness."
"What?" Prince Li Jiancheng was confused.
"It must be because of Prince Yan, right?" The King of Qin on the opposite side said happily: "In terms of guarding one side, Prince Yan indeed has meritorious service..."
Li Jiancheng reluctantly nodded to Li Shan but didn't say anything. Everyone in Chang'an knew that Wei Siwang Li Huairen was good to people, but he was at odds with the Yunyang Luo family... If His Majesty really asked Li Shan to draw up the list, Luo Yi would definitely be on the list. Can't make the list.
Well, Luo Yi himself knew that all the generals in the court who had some hope were trying to flatter him... Luo Yi was the only one who was aloof and aloof!
"It's still very long..." Li Yuan smiled bitterly, shook his head, and changed the question, "How many people are there in the list?"
Ask this guy to draw up a list of ten people, and now there are more than twenty names just heard... But now Li Yuan is not as angry as he was a quarter of an hour ago. On the contrary, he can understand Li Shan's way of dealing with it.
I can't help it, I'm forced to do it.
Li Shan blinked and said, "Twenty-five people have been mentioned, and there are 17 more people. A total of 42 people have been listed. Please choose one."
If ten people were selected from fourteen people, the four people who were eliminated must be complaining, but if ten people were selected from forty-two people... Li Yuan didn't have to choose, and he could just throw away the entire list.
"Huairen is messing around!" Li Yuan glared at Li Shan fiercely, which was too much. "We will discuss this matter later."
Well, Li Shan flipped the table very successfully and threw away the pot perfectly... As for which unlucky guy Li Yuan would find to take over, Li Shan didn't care.
After a pause, Li Yuan added: "First of all, I ordered the supervisor to select a painter to paint the portraits of King Wei Si, Prince Zhao and Shi Ze, and place them on the top floor of the front hall of Lingyan Pavilion."
Hearing this sentence, several prime ministers and ministers glanced at Li Shan in unison, not because Li Shan, Li Xiaogong, and Dou Gui were selected in the first batch, but because of the phrase "front hall."
Regarding the idea of the front and back halls of Lingyan Pavilion, everyone only heard Li Yuan mention it today.
"Father, Hai'er Kuzhi and Yan Liben belong to everyone, why not let him paint it." Li Shimin said with a smile: "I happened to be spending the summer in Renzhi Palace this time, and I brought Yan Liben with me."
"Is it the "Picture of Eighteen Bachelors" from a few days ago?"
"Yes, Yan Liben was appointed as a general in the Sui Dynasty before his death."
Li Yuan nodded slightly, but there was no expression on his face... Although not many people knew about Xue Jieyu's scandal, it was not too few. Although it did not make an uproar, the Xue family in Hedong was already complaining. Xue Yuanjing, who knew the "Three Phoenixes of Hedong", was also an important counselor of Tiance Mansion and one of the eighteen bachelors.
Li Yuan was also very embarrassed. Immediate death was too much. In the final analysis, it was not the woman's fault, but his own fault, but he didn't express anything... He was such a cuckold. It was really embarrassing.
But the Xue family in Hedong is one of the "Three Prominent Families in Hedong" and is the top family after the Five Surnames and Seven Families.
Therefore, Li Shimin asked Yan Liben to draw "A Picture of Eighteen Scholars" to appease the Xue family in Hedong in the name of Xue Shou's death last year and the lack of eighteen scholars.
Among the eighteen bachelors, there were two children of the Xue family in Hedong.
Prince Li Jiancheng looked a little embarrassed, but he was still stable. Similar things had happened many times in the past six months, and his father favored his second brother again and again.
Li Shan quietly retreated to the back and sat next to Pei Shiju, thinking that he would have to tell Yan Liben later that he should make himself look more handsome.
