When I returned to Li's house, Zhang said that I came to visit.

Li Shan went out to greet him and said, "Lord Zhang, please sit in the study." Come on, watch the tea. ”

Zhang said that he was the oldest minister in the court, older than Zhang Jiuling, over sixty years old, and was also one of the earliest tracers of Tang Suzong.

Zhang said that when he saw Li Shan's hands bandaged, he asked, "When was King Zhennan injured?" ”

Li Shan said: "Ah, it doesn't matter. A little skin injury, today this king was entrusted by the concubine to tame the beast, and the reins were worn out. Saying that, the Rui Beast is really fierce and abnormal, I don't know if Master Zhang has ever seen the dignity of the Rui Beast? ”

Zhang said: "In the eyes of the old minister, although the Rui beast is fierce and snow-white, it is just a white horse, and it is not a Rui beast. ”

Zhang said that he was outspoken, which surprised Li Shan very much, and what surprised Li Shan even more was that Zhang Shuo actually thought that the Rui Beast was just a white horse. So how could Zhang Shuo take the opportunity to instigate the emperor to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen? Could it be that there is more hidden in it? , Li Shan was a little confused for a while.

"The hero sees the same thing, since Lord Zhang thinks that the Rui Beast is just a white horse, then why should he persuade His Majesty Mount Tai to seal the Zen?" Li Shan simply asked directly.

Zhang said that this person Li Shan is quite familiar, although this person is very changeable, but he is a loyal minister, Li Shan chooses to believe this person.

"Doesn't King Zhennan approve of His Majesty's canonization?" Zhang Shuo even asked Li Shan, and it seemed that Li Shan's attitude was different from what he expected.

Li Shandao: "Feng Chanzi is a big matter, the emperor has not been registered for a long time, and it seems that it is difficult to convince the public if the envy is not deep." It's better to do more practical things. ”

Zhang Shuo shook his head and said, "It's really because Your Majesty's grace is not heavy that you should be enshrined in Mount Tai." The emperor had already made a prosperous era of Kaiyuan, and the current emperor's succession to the throne was really accidental, and naturally many ministers of the court and China were not convinced. More importantly, the people of the world and the thoughts of the state festival envoys are the same, if the emperor can seal Mount Tai in one fell swoop, then it will definitely cause a sensation in the world, then the emperor's royal orthodox name will be more solid. But today, it seems that there is still a lot of opposition. ”

Only then did Li Shan understand the reason why Tang Suzong was unhappy, it seems that this time the Zen seal has been premeditated for a long time, could it be that this An Lushan was arranged by Tang Suzong? It is very likely that Tang Suzong directed and acted in a scene of Rui Beast, wanting to use this to seal Mount Tai to establish his prestige. It's right to think about it, if it weren't for Tang Suzong personally saying the Rui Beast, who would dare to say that this white horse is the Rui Beast!

It seems that he is standing on the opposite side of the emperor this time, and the emperor wants to seal the Zen but not succeed, so he is naturally unhappy in his heart. And when he went to persuade the emperor at this time, he must have hit the powder keg.

But the strange thing is why Li Linfu would also oppose Tang Suzong's enshrinement of Mount Tai? Could this man have other ambitions? Li Shan couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and unconsciously he was put on the spot by Li Linfu again. This person is really insidious, presumably he did not express his opinion in the court.

With Li Linfu's forces, if he and Zhang Shuo are in favor of the emperor's canonization, this matter will most likely be completed. But if he objected, then he would not come to himself to persuade the emperor. I think it was Li Linfu who remained neutral and did not express his position, which would lead to the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military insistence, making it difficult for His Majesty to make a decision

And he found Li Shan to be the last straw and crushed Tang Suzong to death, so he would inevitably incur Tang Suzong's resentment. Unexpectedly, he had already been calculated before he came to Chang'an, Li Shan was quite annoyed, mainly because he had not been in the court for too long, and it was inevitable that a lot of information was not well-informed.

Now that the thing has been done, it is impossible to redeem it, so it can only be done hard, and Li Shan really thinks that sealing Mount Tai is not a good policy, and Li Shan has always disagreed with such a thing that consumes manpower and material resources but is not beneficial to the community. Li Shandao: "I still think that it is useless to seal Zen Taishan in Sheji, if Your Majesty wants to establish grace or focus on the present, Zephi is the right way to cover the people." ”

Zhang said: "It's not easy to say, you know that the eldest prince had a very high prestige among the generals, and now His Majesty killed the eldest prince in order to seize the throne, which can be said to chill the hearts of the frontier soldiers." You have proposed to your Majesty the system of paying for the temperance, and you think that Your Majesty has not considered horses? ”

Li Shan was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Could it be that Your Majesty has carried out a plan to abolish the festival envoys?" ”

Zhang said: "Before the measures were implemented, it had already reached the ears of the envoys, and the envoys of the ten festivals together asked His Majesty to take back his order. It's not that His Majesty doesn't want to withdraw, but that he can't, they all have heavy troops in their hands, and they don't listen to His Majesty's dispatch at all on the grounds that the border is serious. ”

Li Shan still wanted to say something, but now it was useless, so he could only sigh and say, "I understand, let's discuss this matter later." But what is certain is that even if His Majesty succeeds in sealing Zen, it will not change the status quo, although it is a peaceful and prosperous era now, but it is necessary to know that the anode is the yin and the yin is the yang, and often prosperity represents the beginning of decline. ”

Zhang Shuo was deeply impressed by Li Shan's words and said: "The king of Zhennan is reasonable, if there is a good policy, he must tell the lower officials one or two, although the lower officials are old bones, they are also willing to go to the soup and fight the fire." ”

After sending Zhang away, Li Shan frowned. Things are much more complicated than Li Shan imagined, not only the relationship between the DPRK and China is complicated, but also difficult to deal with outside the DPRK, and the system of moderation is the root cause of the chaos in the Tang Dynasty.

If the local strength is too strong, it will be difficult for the central government to control it, and now it seems that it has reached a situation where it is difficult for the central government to control. If Tang Xuanzong was alive, maybe there would be a turning point in this matter, but Tang Suzong's prestige and grace had nothing to do with these festival envoys, and it was impossible for these people to let Tang Suzong abolish them.

It seems that things are already very tricky, and sure enough, Tang Suzong's ability is still limited. He shouldn't provoke a lot of Jiedu envoys at once, he should first find a reason to abolish one or two of them and take back the military power to break them one by one, but now that the news has leaked, there is no way, it is impossible to abolish all the Jiedu envoys at the same time.

"Call An Lushan in." Li Shan said to his servants.

An Lushan cautiously walked into the study and said, "Do you have anything to do with the little one?" ”

Li Shandao: "The matter of the Rui Beast, what benefits does Your Majesty promise you?" ”

An Lushan pretended to be stupid and said: "What do you mean by this, the little one doesn't understand, although the matter of the Rui Beast was discovered by the small one, but the little one didn't dare to take credit." ”

Li Shan said: "Wasn't the matter of the Rui Beast personally planned by His Majesty?" To be honest, I'll kill you directly. ”

Li Shan glanced at Ah Sanyi, and the long sword in Ah San's hand was directly against An Lushan's neck, and An Lushan hurriedly buckled his head and said: "The little one said that it was His Majesty who put the white horse in the paddock, and then let the little one lie and claim to see the Rui beast descend from the sky." His Majesty promised that after the small thing was completed, he could be Fan Yang's assassin. ”

Sure enough, he almost let the tiger return to the mountain, but he couldn't ask An Lushan to let him go.

A cold light flashed in Li Shan's eyes, and he said with a smile: "An Lushan, now you finally have one thing that is important to me. ”

An Lushan said with a happy face when he heard this: "Adults, please speak, the small ones are not willing to go to the soup and go to the fire." ”

"Your life is important to me." (To be continued.) )
