Northern Dynasties

Chapter 100
"Brother, today's homework is finished, do you want to check it?"

At noon, several phoenixes hurried into the hall with two test papers in their hands, and put them directly on the table in front of Li Tai, with anticipation shining in their eyes.

"Why are you so diligent today? You have completed your day's homework at this moment."

After Li Tai heard the words, he glanced at the hollow sun outside the hall, said something a little surprised, picked up the test paper and flipped through it casually, except for some scribbled handwriting, there were no obvious mistakes.

Gao Bin had already left the manor to meet Dugu Xin. Li Tai didn't need to pretend to be a strict teacher, and he didn't find fault. He just laughed and said, "Work hard, it's good. You don't need to take any more classes today, just go play with peace of mind. In the manor, don't go far."

After he finished speaking, he found that Ji Feng did not leave cheering, but walked around in front of his table instead, so he looked up curiously: "I said you can go and play... Hey, what's your face like?"

Seeing that Li Tai finally noticed the difference in himself, Ji Feng was overjoyed, raised his hand and put his hair in a bun to the back of his head, a little shyly: "It's not just the look, brother, I don't see the difference in my outfit?"

After being reminded by this, Li Tai realized that this kid was dressed very coquettishly today, with a loose bun gauze crown, a crimson cloak that hangs down to the knees, a white crotch shirt inside, and a colorful brocade belt around his waist , wearing black gauze trousers, and a pair of thick-soled buckskin shoes on the feet, looking a little taller than usual.

The most important thing is that this kid is still a fan today. His face, which was slightly red and black after playing in the countryside for several months, now looks pale with hypoglycemia, but he is still very beautiful.

"What are you doing?"

Li Tai was stunned for a moment before he couldn't help asking.

"Brother, this is asking knowingly. Dugu Kaifu came to visit today, shouldn't he dress up to show respect? If he can be appreciated by Dugu Kaifu, called as a confidant, and follow him in and out, it will be so majestic!"

Several phoenixes said excitedly: "I didn't even have time to eat breakfast, just to finish my homework quickly and meet Dugu Kaifu by mistake!"

Li Tai felt even more speechless when he heard this. Even if you are licking a dog, you still have a bit of a scale. You must know that your father is also an official residence and a mansion. You can still be a son-in-law in the future. How can you treat Dugu Xin as a soldier? Long-cherished dream?
Besides, my old father-in-law is not a superficial person who only cares about appearance, he appreciates you if you are handsome?
It's hard for Li Tai to admit that he's jealous. He's been busy with other things since he entered the country. He only added a few robes when he was an official in the Shangxingtai. He began to bathe and change clothes early in the morning. Not as good as this stinky brat!

He was planning to educate and kill the boy's incorrect values, when the servants of the Waizhuang came to inform Dugu Xin that he had led the crowd to the base.

"Let's welcome together."

After Li Tai heard the words, he stood up and said to Jifeng in a muffled voice, thinking in his heart whether he should show off the horse that Yu Wentai rewarded yesterday.

When they arrived at the gate of the manor, Dugu Xin and his entourage also happened to arrive.After seeing Dugu Xin's ceremonial pomp, Li Tai realized what a real show bag is, it's a real show show bag based on strength!
There are five hundred attendants at the front and back, all wearing black hakama pleats, with horizontal knives on their waists and Hu Lu hanging on their hips, all of them are strong and burly.The most important thing is that the horses they ride are all green horses, which make people salivate.

Li Tai was still bubbling with beauty because he got a Hexi steed yesterday. After seeing this scene, he suddenly felt bad.What annoys you guys who show off the most, what's so awesome about it?If I can't be your son-in-law, I'll take your surname!

Dugu Xin was also dressed in black hakama pleats, but the outside was similar to that of several phoenixes. He was covered with a red cloak, and the small gold gauze crown shone brightly in the sun. Prestige.

Seeing Dugu Xin striding towards him, Li Tai felt a little nervous, and simply turned his head to look at some phoenixes half-body hidden behind him, with slightly pursed lips, and a gimmick rose in his heart. Whoever is ugly is embarrassed.

He walked a few steps forward, before he had time to introduce himself, Dugu Xin had already said, "Lead me to see the Grand Master!"

Li Tai was taken aback by this slightly indifferent attitude, shouldn't we cherish each other and hate seeing each other later?Don't you already know that I cut down your Feng Shui tree?

But since people said so, he couldn't express his enthusiasm any more. He pulled Jifeng, who was a little immobile, and after saluting Dugu Xin, he turned and went to the manor.

When passing through the outer manor, Dugu Xin was just silent all the way, and he didn't appreciate or ask questions like other new entrants to the manor.

When he walked to the villa in the valley, Dugu Xin paused, looked at the layout of the villa in the valley, and finally said a word of admiration: "It is hard work."

He ordered his followers to wait at the entrance of the valley, and he went straight to the hall of the villa. When Li Tai came up from the back, Dugu Xin had already entered the hall and knelt beside He Basheng's couch. tearful.

"I'm not dead yet, so I'm afraid I won't have time to mourn?"

Seeing Dugu Xin like this, He Basheng felt a little depressed, turned his back on the couch and turned his back on Dugu Xin, scolding in his mouth.

"As I wish, the sorrow is not for the grand master, but for myself! In the eyes of the grand master, what kind of mediocre person I am who refuses to trust me? Such a big matter, I don't want to send me a word! Is it really necessary to wait until the coffin is set up for sacrifices? Day, will I be allowed to return to be spurned by the masses?"

After Dugu Xin heard this, he also said sadly and angrily, tears could not help but roll down.

Seeing this scene, Li Tai didn't move any further. He and He Basheng knew each other very informally, but he felt that he wasn't familiar with Dugu Xin enough to watch other people cry casually, so he turned around and exited the hall.

A few phoenixes followed Li Tai's back step by step, crashing into his arms all at once, and just uttered a short exclamation, they were dragged out by the back collar of their clothes.

There was silence in the hall for a long time, Dugu Xin stepped forward and touched He Basheng's arm and shoulder, then slowed down and said: "Brother Pohu, if you like to live in a quiet country, go to my place, I'm nearby There is also Zhuangye. Li Boshan's youth is weak and it is even more difficult to handle things, so there is really no need to get involved in the story."

When He Basheng heard this, his eyes froze for a moment, he held Duguxin's wrist with his backhand and said in a low voice, "Did you hear some evil words outside?"

"It's not evil words, it's just a feeling. Since you returned to the court, you have been appointed bravely and courageously. For this reason... well, as a result, Lin Lao didn't even dare to write a letter to me, making me feel guilty. sin!"

Duguxin still couldn't let go of the fact that He Basheng didn't inform him.

"Others can say this, but you can't say it if you wish. I don't want to pass on a letter to you. That's my own consideration. We habitual offenders should not expect to be treated by the Lord or even loyal people. I also hope that you To cast aside self-doubt and to be reborn here.”

Although He Basheng said so, he also knew that his words were not convincing.Several important generals under his command, Dugu Xin is in Zhenlongyou, Shi Ning is in Dongyi Prefecture on the front line facing east and west, and Yang Zhong is in Shuozhou in the north.

These three places happened to be located on the east, west, and north frontiers of the Western Dynasty, except for the Jingzhou area in the south of Shanxi that they once controlled.

Such an arrangement, if it was not intentionally made by Daxingtai to guard against them and deliberately dismantle them, then no fool would believe it.

Especially last year, Daxingtai tried to replace Dugu Xin as the governor of Qinzhou with some benefits. It is only natural for Dugu Xin to be vigilant and self-doubting.

No matter how deep the old love of the country is, it cannot withstand the passage of time.Daxingtai strives to dominate the industry, and many things can no longer be answered according to the story.

All He Basheng can do right now is to express his disheartened attitude of being indifferent to everything.

But Duguxin is still young and powerful, and he is in power. To be honest, even He Basheng can't understand what he thinks. Think twice."

After Duguxin heard this, he was silent for a long time, and then leaned closer to He Basheng's ear and whispered: "I am not indifferent to what Brother Pohu said. Daxing Taixiong plans to rule the country, and he will fight against thieves a few times. Besides, who in Kansai can rival He Liuhun?

However, the personnel disturbance made me feel uneasy. Brother, do you know why His Majesty invited me to see the person I inquired?He actually asked me if the youngest girl in my household was interested in marriage..."

When Dugu Xin talked about this, his face lost his grace, but turned into a deep sorrowful expression.At any other moment, or if Dugu Xin changed to another official position, it would be an honor for the family to be able to marry the imperial family.

But now that He Basheng was dying, and Duguxin was the governor of Qinzhou, the emperor suddenly hinted at his marriage, which seemed to push him into a corner.

Qinzhou is sensitive not only because it is a large city in Longyou, but also because it has been the traditional sphere of influence of the Western Wei royal family since the establishment of the Western Wei Dynasty.In the early years of Datong, the emperor took a stance towards the royal family, and Nianxian, who had a high prestige in Beizhen, served in Longyou.

The governors of the Longbian states are also mostly served by the clan.For example, Queen Yi Fushi, who was married to Rouran before, once set up Qinzhou with her son Yuanwu, the governor of Qinzhou.

Although Yu Wentai has great power in Guanzhong, his control over Longyou Hexi has not been strong.Including Dugu Xin who is currently sitting in Qinzhou, strictly speaking, he is not considered as Yu Wentai's direct confidant.

When He Basheng heard this, his expression became serious. He first stared at Dugu Xin for a long time, and then said in a deep voice, "How do you respond?"

"It is only said that the little girl has been out of education since she was a child, and she is not disciplined, but it is only a slight delay."

Dugu Xin smiled wryly and shook his head, he stayed in this position, it seemed that he had room for both sides, but in fact the imperial court and the hegemony left him very limited room to maneuver.If you directly reject the emperor, you will completely offend the royal family. If you directly agree, it will be even more difficult to get along with Daxingtai.

"This matter is easy to handle. I'm lonely indoors. You give me your daughter. Before you get rid of the clothes, there's no need to talk about marriage!"

He Basheng pondered for a while after hearing the words, and then spoke again.
