Chapter 346: Entering Beijing
In the autumn of 734, Li Shan returned to Dali, and at the end of the same year, Li Shan prepared to leave for Beijing.
"Xianggong, what do you want to do when you enter Beijing this time?" Qing'er asked. Li Shan has been preparing for more than two months in order to enter Beijing, and there are countless materials that have been sorted, and Qing'er knows that Li Shan is going to make a big move again.
"I feel that our Dali has developed very well in recent years, so I want to communicate our policies with Datang and fully open up our information, so that Datang can also learn our policies and technologies." Li Shan swore solemnly.
This time, Li Shan was much more confident than before, because he was from a humble background and had no foundation in the court, although he had a lot of credit, he was never reused. Coupled with his young age and low seniority.
Therefore, during the Tang Xuanzong period, Li Shan had no ability to participate in major national events at all, and he did not have any influence on national policies.
But now the situation is different, Li Shan is the master of the emperor today, the king of Dali Zhennan, and he is a man of his word. And Li Heng has always been obedient to Li Shan's words.
But Qing'er didn't think so: "Xianggong, I think it's better for you not to have too much hope, although you are very successful in governing Dali now, but Dali is not the Tang Dynasty." Dali was not unified in the first place, and only after we were unified could we concentrate power so smoothly to implement our plan. But the Tang Dynasty was different, the Tang Dynasty was rich in land and resources, and the ministers of the scholar clan were deep-rooted, and your measures were all shaking their foundations. How can they let you do it? ”
Li Shandao: "Although there will be many difficulties, you have to try it after all." Although I gave him a lot of advice when Tang Suzong ascended the throne, it seems that the implementation is not ideal now. The Tang Dynasty has reached the peak of prosperity, and if the so-called prosperity is declining, if we do not seize the time to reform now, it will inevitably lead to corruption and rebellion in the imperial court. ”
Qing'er said: "You are now the lord of Dali, why do you have to care about Datang?" Wouldn't it be better if the Tang Dynasty rebelled, so that we could drive straight into Chang'an and occupy Chang'an, and then you would be the new lord of the Tang Dynasty. ”
Li Shan shook his head and said, "Qing'er, I never cared about these fame, fortune and power, and if I really cared, I wouldn't have come to this point." I am now the lord of Dali, but in my heart, I have never regarded myself as an outsider of Datang. I am not confined to the current Tang Dynasty, even if the Tang Dynasty falls. One day it will perish, but I will not give it up. I am a descendant of Yanhuang and a son of China. In my eyes, it is a 5,000-year-old Chinese heritage, not a simple Tang Dynasty. The dragon will eventually take off, and I hope it wakes up as soon as possible and doesn't fall asleep again. ”
Qing'er smiled: "Xianggong, your mind will always be different from ours, and I don't know what you want, but since you have made up your mind, I will not stop you." However, what you are doing is dangerous, you must be very careful, if you find that things are not going well, you must go back to Dali as soon as possible. I have prepared soldiers and horses here, if Tang Suzong dares to be unfavorable to you, I will fight to Chang'an and rescue you. ”
Li Shan smiled and stroked Qing'er's face, Qing'er is a veritable iron lady, Dali is very relieved to have her in charge of Li Shan.
"Okay, Dali's affairs will be handed over to you, and now Zheng'er is not young, you can let him learn some affairs. He is the eldest brother of all brothers, and he will be self-reliant as soon as possible when he bears heavy burdens in the future. ”
Li Shan has now branched out, and there are more than a dozen children, and he is busy with work all year round and really has no time to take care of the children. The son is not the fault of the father, Li Shan is indeed to blame, fortunately, Long Xueling, Su Jinxi, Wu Wuzai and others concentrated on internal affairs and took care of several children, and now Li Xuan and Li Zheng have grown up and entered the school to study. That's why Li Shan will ask for it.
Qing'er said angrily: "Are you embarrassed to say? As long as you're a father, you can't see your child a few times a year, just say just two sentences? I think you should be quiet, don't run around all the time. Don't you always tell us that we can't finish working on things in the world, so we don't need to work so hard? Aren't you running around all year round? ”
Li Shan thought deeply about this, in fact, he also wanted to take a good rest, but for a person who can foresee history, he really didn't want to stop. A person's life is short, and he has spent more than ten years just making these changes, and there are still too many things he needs to do to make Datang strong.
"If this reform is successful, I will be able to retire and return to the field in less than five years, and go home to retire. I'm really tired, so I'll keep you guys going anywhere from now on, okay? Li Shan's rare true feelings are revealed, which is his true thoughts. After walking around and turning back, thinking about it, the life of his wife and children is the happiest.
Qing'er teased: "Who needs you to accompany me, I want to accompany your filial piety." ”
Li Shan smiled awkwardly, Qing'er's jealous temperament still hasn't changed. said goodbye to the other wives one by one, and Li Shan was ready to set off.
Liu Ruyan, Su Jinxi and others are accustomed to Li Shan's parting, but the newlywed filial piety is reluctant. After returning to Dali for the past two months, Xiaoqian gradually adapted to life here, but he was still too attached to Li Shan. Fortunately, she still gets along very well with Li Shan's wives, after all, it is not her own territory, although she is a little petty, she does not dare to play very much, and deliberately pleases several sisters. Liu Ruyan and others saw her so young, and they all humbled her.
Li Shan's return to Chang'an this time can be described as infinitely beautiful, unlike before, when he was either sneaky or no one cared about. This time, Li Shanke returned to Chang'an as the king of Dali Zhennan, and he brought thousands of people with his entourage alone. From Yaozhou to the Tang Dynasty is unimpeded all the way, and all the officials know the relationship between Li Shan and Tang Suzong, and they are instructed to come to Li Shan, hoping that Li Shan can say a few good words in front of the emperor. But of course, Li Shan won't pretend to these people.
Back in Chang'an, he still lives in the Li Mansion, which has been expanded by Li Heng since Li Shan was named the King of Dali Town, and the current Li Mansion is more than three times larger than before. On the plaque is the six big characters of the southern palace of Dali Town, which is given by the emperor. Otherwise, living in the previous mansion with Li Shan's current identity would indeed be a bit condescending. These more than 1,000 soldiers can't let go.
When he got together with Sun Helian and a few people again, it was even more embarrassing, Sun Helian is now also an official in Beijing, because Li Shan's relationship has been reused. But Sun Helian's temperament is still so dissolute and unruly, and he doesn't do his job. And Li Shan's achievements are staggering, because Li Shan's trip to Dali was originally done relatively secretive, and it was thousands of miles away, and he was not well-informed, although he knew that Li Shan was the king of Dali Town. But there are very few people who really know that Li Shan is the lord of Dali. There are many things that only the current emperor and Pei Min know the truth, and even the confidant ministers are half-understood. (To be continued.) )
