Before deciding to come to Sun Moon Lake, Er Zhuhuan made a lot of mental preparations and prepared many well-founded reasons. However, he did not expect that his nephew would disturb his mind again and again with his seemingly plain but sharp words. fall.
But what shocked Er Zhuhuan the most was what Li Shan just said.
"This is not the order of King Qin."
Simple words, but said in a very affirmative tone. Er Zhuhuan looked at his nephew blankly, "But...but..."
Li Shan suddenly laughed, "Uncle, why did Pei Shiju join the East Palace?"
"Pei Hong is a famous minister in many dynasties, and he is nearly eighty years old. His deadline is not far away. What's the reason for this?"
The answer was swirling in his throat, and Er Zhuhuan's eyes widened, "You...you..."
"In the past few years, the prince and the king of Qin have fought for their legitimate sons." Li Shan sighed: "Since I was a commoner with the army, I have made many meritorious deeds. Shandong turned the tide, Daizhou showed its power beyond the Great Wall, Jingzhou defeated the Turks again, and even made good friends with Princess Pingyang... You Do you really believe that I am not involved in seizing the direct descendant?"
Er Zhuhuan said in a strange tone: "You...are also a member of the King of Qin."
"As early as during the war in Shandong, we had decided to join the King of Qin." Li Shan said happily: "I really didn't expect that you and I would end up the same way."
This description made Er Zhuhuan couldn't help but laugh, but then his face changed slightly, "No, the war in Hebei...did you know that Li Dewu threw himself into the East Palace?"
Li Shan looked deeply at Er Zhuhuan and said, "Uncle, on the contrary, because my nephew wanted to join the service of King Qin, he was sent to the East Palace."
Mrs. Zhu glanced sideways, thinking that she would have to listen selectively to her son's words in the future. Only now did she know that her son had surrendered to the King of Qin so early.
Er Zhuhuan's mind turned for a while before he realized the meaning of Li Shan's words, "Pei Shiju wants to stuff him into Tiance Mansion?"
"Yes, so we can only send him to the East Palace." Li Shan brought the topic back, "If we couldn't tell a few years ago, but now... it's not just about canonizing the heir, it's not just about being on good terms with Princess Pingyang .”
"Su Dingfang, Zhang Zhongjian, Xue Wanche, Zhang Shigui... If King Qin wants to do something big, won't he inform him in advance?"
Er Zhuhuan rolled his eyes, "Does His Highness King Qin know the inside story?"
"certainly."
Er Zhuhuan took a breath. He also felt that something was not right. With Li Shan's current status...not to mention other things, at least Zhang Zhongjian still led the Lingzhou Army, and Shuozhou was under the command of Li Jing, the acting state manager. The general manager Liu Shirang is also a direct descendant of Li Shan.
Considering that the King of Qin knew the inside story, it was unlikely that Li Shimin deliberately bypassed Li Shan to do this... After all, it was recognized in the court that Li Shan was an influential minister to His Majesty, and he was also very good at flattering and figuring out the intentions of his superiors. of.
Li Shan was sure of this. He had heard Li Shimin emphasize it in a secret discussion... Now that the East Palace is unstable, Tiance Mansion cannot rashly focus on stability.
Zhu added: "Ling Gong gained the trust of His Highness King Qin and was once in charge of Tiance Mansion."
"There is also Zhao Guogong Su Dingfang." Er Zhuhuan's face looked a little defeated, "If His Highness the King of Qin wants to do big things, he will definitely use Su Dingfang to take charge of the Beiya Imperial Army on behalf of Huo Guogong."
"So, this must not be the order of the King of Qin." Li Shan closed the coffin and concluded, "Feng Deyi used the King of Qin to send orders under the guise."
Er Zhuhuan looked at Li Shan with complicated eyes, and the toes in his shoes were curled up. It was impossible for his nephew to send someone to keep an eye on him. Firstly, there was no need, and secondly, he was basically in the East Palace during the day and wanted to follow him. If he couldn't follow him, there was only one possibility. His nephew had been staring at Feng Lun.
Zhu said softly: "Alang, what can I do?"
At this time, an idea flashed in his mind, and Er Zhuhuan blurted out: "King Qi?"
Li Shan, who was about to speak, was startled, smiled and nodded: "It is indeed King Qi, how did uncle guess it?"
"You deliberately mentioned King Qi before... You guessed that I am from King Qi..." Er Zhuhuan figured it all out, "No wonder you want to keep an eye on Feng Lun... Is he colluding with King Qi?"
"We have been secretly communicating for several years. We discovered it accidentally at first, and have been keeping an eye on it ever since." Li Shan asked with great interest, "Why did Feng Lun find his uncle to do this?"
"In the second year of Wude, Feng Lun entered the Tang Dynasty. His Majesty accused him of flattery and disloyalty, sternly reprimanded him, dismissed him and sent him back." Er Zhuhuan explained: "His Royal Highness the King of Later Qin used it, and His Majesty made Feng Lun the internal historian. At that time, he secretly The messaging is who he is.”
"No wonder." Li Shan touched the short beard on his chin, "The situation is already clear. Feng Lun must have a plan, and the winner will definitely not be the King of Qin..."
Er Zhuhuan couldn't help but interrupted: "Feng Lun, although his conduct is poor, is not stupid. Why did he choose King Qi?"
This was something Li Shan couldn't figure out. He paused and continued: "I won't go back to Renzhi Palace, but I have deployed scouts everywhere. If something happens, I will choose the opportunity to lead my guards to Fangzhou."
"And uncle, he must not go to Fangzhou."
"For today's plan, uncle has two choices."
Er Zhuhuan scratched his itchy nose. He didn't expect Li Shan to make such a quick decision without giving himself any leeway.
"First, my uncle was accidentally injured and it was difficult to transport the ordnance to Yang Wenqian."
"Injured?" Er Zhuhuan hesitated and said, "If it's a minor injury, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape."
"Of course it's not a minor injury." Li Shan glanced at Zhu, "The calf is broken..."
With such a serious injury, it is naturally difficult to move, and there is nothing Feng Lun can do... How about you send weapons to Yang Wenqian yourself, and then go to Renzhi Palace to accuse the prince of rebellion?
Unless Feng Lun has other manpower in the East Palace... But it would be difficult to find a subordinate official of the East Palace who has the same weight as Er Zhuhuan.
Er Zhuhuan also looked at Mrs. Zhu, you really raised a good son, you are so cruel to your biological uncle, "What about the second one?"
Li Shan hesitated for a moment, "Has my uncle always been in charge of transporting ordnance to Fangzhou?"
In Li Shan's impression, it seemed that two generals from the East Palace went to Renzhi Palace to accuse the prince of rebellion.
"That's right." Er Zhuhuan said: "But starting from the beginning of this year, a deputy was added. This person is an officer of the East Palace and has been appointed as a school captain. His name is Qiao Gongshan."
Li Shan's eyes flickered, "It's all the same. Report to the Crown Prince before departure... Transporting ordnance to Yang Wenqian is not a trivial matter. After all, His Majesty is in Fangzhou now, and the East Palace is already crumbling. If the Crown Prince has no plans to launch an army immediately, then he will definitely not allow it. .”
After a pause, Li Shan took the initiative to analyze for Er Zhuhuan: "If the prince immediately stops Qiao Gongshan, Feng Lun's plan will naturally fail... But if Feng Lun escapes this disaster, the King of Qin will inevitably think that his uncle is a traitor in the future. "
Er Zhuhuan took a deep breath and said, "That's it."
Li Shan was stunned, not expecting the other party to make a choice so quickly.
Er Zhuhuan smiled and said: "In the future when the King of Qin takes over the East Palace, with Huairen there, he will not be accused of being attached to the East Palace. What's more, Feng Lun secretly communicates with the King of Qin. This matter may not be leaked..."
Even if the King of Qin couldn't find any clues, Er Zhuhuan could still report it and get some credit.
Li Shan stood up and bowed, "I will protect my uncle."
