Since the success of taming the beast, it is almost the end of the year, and Li Shan is ready to go back to Dali.

This time I came to the capital to find out, and I had a preliminary understanding of the situation in the capital, although it was not optimistic, but it was not too bad, Li Shan wanted to be in Dali and then prepare for a drum to outline the Qing Dynasty outline.

Before leaving, Li Shan was going to see Zhang Jiuling again, Zhang Jiuling was now recuperating in another hospital on the outskirts of Chang'an, Li Shan had never had the opportunity to visit before, and he had to visit before leaving.

Zhang Jiuling is Li Shan's uncle, if it weren't for Zhang Jiuling's care, Li Shan would not have been able to do a career from Jingzhou so simply, and Zhang Jiuling and Li Shan's father Li Xun are friends, and they can be regarded as Li Shan's uncle.

When I came to Zhang Jiuling's residence outside the city, it was a small courtyard, and the place where Zhang Jiuling lived now was relatively simple. The place where he lived was a three-bedroom thatched cottage, and a few servants took care of it.

Li Shan's current financial resources are naturally not a problem to help him, but Zhang Jiuling has been honest all his life and is not willing to accept Li Shan's help at all, and his current living conditions can be regarded as okay.

I haven't seen him for a few years, Zhang Jiuling's figure has been seriously rickety, and the years are really unforgiving, Li Shan is now past his age, and Zhang Jiuling is over sixty years old. In ancient times, more than 60 years old was considered a big life, but the ancient people did not have such good conditions as the current people, whether it was the material level or the medical conditions, it was a world of difference.

Zhang Jiuling was sitting on the recliner at this time, and when he saw Li Shan coming, he wanted to speak, Li Shan hurriedly went over to help him and said, "Uncle, lie down quickly, why did you become like this after not seeing him for a few years?" ”

Zhang Jiuling said: "The old problem when I was young is getting worse, and it is getting worse and worse when I get older. ”

Li Shan asked the servant for a long time, only to know that Zhang Jiuling had a perennial chronic illness, stomach problems, and his waist was not very healthy.

For gastritis, as well as a herniated lumbar disc, these diseases were simply not treatable by ancient doctors. In addition, the living conditions of ancient people were limited, and many diets were not clean, which made them particularly prone to stomach problems, and it was difficult to cure.

Li Shandao: "Uncle, I will send someone to invite the best doctor to see you, your disease can't be delayed, there is still a chance to treat it as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Jiuling said: "The emperor has already sent a doctor to show me, I have to pay attention to this disease, as long as it doesn't attack, it's fine, it's been decades, it's impossible to eradicate it." ”

Li Shan sighed and said, "I know, I will try my best to search for famous doctors and famous medicines to treat my uncle, please don't shirk my uncle." ”

Zhang Jiuling said: "The old man has never spared his life in his life, but when he is old, does he have to work for the people and money for the life of these years?" Besides, now the emperor will also send the imperial doctor to treat me regularly, and the medicine is also sent from the imperial hospital, so you don't have to make a big deal anymore. ”

Li Shan knew Zhang Jiuling's personality, but he couldn't force it.

Zhang Jiuling said: "Li Shan, I heard that you seem to want to do something to the people of the DPRK and China when you come to the capital this time, but is there such a thing?" ”

Zhang Jiuling was not surprised to know that Li Shan was not surprised by this, it should have been said by Zhang Shuo.

"It's not deliberately targeting the officials in the court, but in my opinion, the current situation in the court is not optimistic, although it is a peaceful and prosperous era, but the prosperity is empty in an instant, and the aging of the dynasty is often the bane planted from the time of prosperity." Li Shandao.

Zhang Jiuling coughed a few times, and Li Shan hurriedly brought a cup of tea to let Zhang Jiuling feel good. Zhang Jiuling said: "Li Shan, judging from the old man's experience as an official for so many years, loyal ministers cannot fight to the death with traitorous ministers. As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, if you blindly focus on traitors and disrupt the party, you will fall into the shackles and find it difficult to extricate yourself, if you can open your eyes and focus on the society, you will suddenly open up. If it is a traitorous minister and a party, it only needs to be carefully investigated by the Ming Jun and the true form will be revealed. You don't need to do it without your own hands. ”

Li Shan asked, "Uncle, what do you think of Li Linfu?" ”

Zhang Jiuling pondered for a while and said, "Li Linfu, this person has always had the heart of a villain, greedy for fame and profit. But it's all a little problem, when the first emperor was in power, I had a dispute with him because of the position of prime minister, but there were political differences, and it was not good or bad. ”

Li Shandao: "I think this person is not only greedy for fame and profit, but also has a heart of arrogance. ”

Zhang Jiuling was taken aback, and then shook his head and said: "Impossible, although Li Linfu is greedy for fame and fortune, he is extremely life-saving, he will never risk the world's condemnation to do such a thing, even if he borrows his courage, he will not dare to do anything arrogant." ”

Li Shan was unimpressed by Zhang Jiuling's evaluation, and said: "People can't look good, and people always change." When the emperor was in power, he was indeed discerning, and there were many capable ministers under him, and it was a wise move for Li Linfu to protect himself. At the time of the first emperor, Su Zong was inferior to the first emperor in terms of wisdom and courage, and his uncle, Song Jing, Yao Chong and others resigned one after another. ”

Zhang Jiuling said: "I have known Li Linfu for more than 30 years, I know him better than you, and it is impossible for this person to do anything arrogant." And Li Shan, you must pay attention to the fact that the king sometimes does not check, and as a courtier, he can write a book and give direct advice, but he must not make his own opinions. This is an act of injustice, almost transgression. ”

Li Shandao: "Uncle, don't worry, I'm collecting evidence now, and I will convince Li Linfu." ”

Zhang Jiuling nodded, and said slowly: "Li Shan, you are now the king of Zhennan, and you are the Taifu, ranking the third duke." Today's status can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person, and it is precisely because of this that your actions will be noticed by more people. Remember to be careful not to be reckless, and more importantly, not to be too sharp. ”

Li Shan was just about to speak, but Zhang Jiuling stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "After you listen to me, I can see from the time we met that although you are respectful on the surface, you have a very strong opinion in your heart, and it is impossible to change the things you have made up your mind about." I just want to tell you that the status of the king cannot be shaken, and everything you have now is also given to you by the emperor, as long as the emperor says a word, you can lose all this at any time. What you need most now is to gain the emperor's trust, and only when the emperor trusts you can you show your revenge. ”

Outsiders don't know that the title of the king of Dali Zhennan was cut first and then played, Li Shan left Beijing for several years without news, until Li Shan unified Dali and Annan and returned to people's sight. Transformed into the emperor canonized as the king of Dali Zhennan, people thought that Li Shan was secretly sent by the emperor to recover Dali, but this was not the case.

Zhang Jiuling didn't know the truth of the matter, if he knew that he wouldn't even say these words to Li Shan, in fact, in the eyes of anyone who knew the truth, Li Shan was no longer a loyal minister, but an ally of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Tang Suzong's attitude towards Li Shan is also respectful and afraid, as for trust, it can only be relative, if Li Shan has a trace of touching Tang Suzong's rights, Tang Suzong will definitely not sit idly by.
