Northern Dynasties

Chapter 11
Ah Pan is Li Tai's nickname, but since he came to this world, no one has called him that. It took a while to realize that the other party had already rushed in front of him.

This is a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a straight-sleeved long gown and a black gauze long-ear cage crown. His face is slightly round, his half-foot-long beard is somewhat messy, and his face is haggard and pale.

Li Tai hurriedly got off his horse, bowed to the middle-aged man and said, "Because of injury, I've been late, and I've only returned so far, which makes the envoy worried."

"It's good to return home, it's good to return home!"

The middle-aged man was Gao Zhongmi, the former governor of Northern Yuzhou who had rebelled from the east to the west. He also got off his horse, patted Li Tai on the shoulder, and sighed with a complicated expression. Then he noticed He Basheng on the side, and hurried up Make a deep bow.

"I have Lao Heba Grand Master to lead my nephew back. During the walk, I don't have time to thank you deeply. Please come to pay your respects at the door some other day!"

"Li Lang is my old and young relative. It's nothing to bring him back along the way. Now that I have reunited with Gao Situ, I won't bother you two anymore. Let's leave."

He Basheng didn't want to have more contact with Gao Zhongmi, so he nodded slightly and replied, then turned his head to look at Li Tai and said, "Keep everything in mind, if you have time after settling down, you can visit me. It lives in Quli in the south of the city, and you can know it as soon as you visit the alley.”

"Sure, sure, uncle cherishes it!"

Li Tai hastily clasped his fists to say goodbye, he could hear that He Basheng intended to help him before, but after all, his friendship was still shallow, and he should follow his old master Gao Zhongmi out of love and reason, so he could only keep this intention in his heart.

After He Basheng left, Li Taicai and Gao Zhongmi got on their horses and walked towards the city, briefly talking about their experiences in Hulao City since they parted.

"I am good at treason, not only harming my own family, but also implicating your father and son. If it weren't for you, Ah Pan, to rescue you, I'm afraid it would be difficult to live..."

Gao Zhongmi's tone was sour, and tears glistened in his eyes.After the Hulao city was broken, Hou Jing captured his wife, children and children, and Gao Huan would definitely not let them go.

In such a short period of time, all power, position, power, wife, children, and children have been lost. This blow is indeed too great for people to bear.

"The matter has come to this point, and it is useless to moan any more. The only thing I can do is cheer up, and after the Western Dynasty is established, I will try to fight back!"

Li Tai remembered that Gao Zhongmi's wife, Li Shi, was not executed by the Eastern Wei Dynasty, but was taken as a concubine by Gao Huan's son Gao Cheng, and participated in a court coup that affected the history of the Northern Qi Dynasty many years later.

But even if these funeral events are told, it will obviously not comfort Gao Zhongmi, it will only make him more sad and indignant.

Gao Zhongmi was not as optimistic as Li Tai. After hearing the words, he just sighed and said: "The Western Dynasty is narrow and weak, and it is not easy for people from other states to gain a foothold here. I thought that the internal control of Heluo could be divided into one force, but I didn't expect The Western Army lost so badly...

Even if Yuwen Daxingtai can barely maintain the present, it is really difficult to make progress and counter the Eastern Dynasty. "

To be honest, if it weren't for the memory of future generations, Li Tai would not be optimistic about the Western Wei Dynasty in terms of the current situation alone.

The historical trend of the latter three kingdoms, if analyzed in depth, is actually a relatively bad era. No matter the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Western Wei Dynasty or Southern Dynasty, there are a lot of internal problems.

However, the Sui and Tang Dynasties established on this basis were so glorious, and it really makes people feel the wonder of history.

Huazhou City is not only the seat of the hegemony of the Western Wei Dynasty, but also an important front line confronting the Eastern Wei Dynasty. It is across the river from Jinyang, the hegemony of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, so the city is also built tall and strong.

The city does not have the clear pattern of squares and cities in the later Sui and Tang Dynasties, but the different functional areas are also clearly divided.

"The north of the city is where Daxingtai and the Prime Minister's Mansion are located. It is also a military city. If you don't have letter letters, it's best not to approach it easily. If you are detained by patrol guards, you have to go to Daxingtai to judge before you can escape..."

Daxingtai is not only an official name, but also a government office. It is the domineering mansion where Yu Wentai controls the military and political affairs of the entire Western Wei court, and it completely empties the Western Wei court in Chang'an.

After entering the city, Gao Zhongmi signaled everyone to get off their horses, and while walking on the street, he introduced the layout of the city: "Most people living in the east of the city are generals and their soldiers. Once there is an enemy disturbance, Quxiang can be rectified and prepared for war. It's also a place where powerful slaves run rampant, and it's not a good place. There are many official warehouses and mansions in the south of the city, so it's still livable."

Li Tai looked at the city while listening to Gao Zhongmi's explanation.It is not so much a city as it is a huge military camp. Most of the people walking on the street straddle swords and hold sticks, and the martial arts are strong.

On both sides of the street, there are buildings with strong military colors such as sentry towers and watchtowers. Obviously, the managers of the city are managing the city as a military camp.

It can also be seen that the stability of the Western Wei regime is indeed not high, and even political centers such as Huazhou City have to be maintained under military control all year round.

"This is the governor's mansion of the southern part of the city. I see that you, A Pan, have many soldiers under your command. It's best to come to register tomorrow morning. Although the politics of the Western Dynasty are not as expensive as Hu Qinghan in Dongzhou, our newcomers People, you still have to be more cautious when doing things every day."

Gao Zhongmi pointed to the several-story government office in a residential building next to Chengnan Street and said that the governor of the people is in charge of the affairs of the Hu people, and the labor and taxes that the Hu people need to bear are different from those of the Han people.

When Li Tai was in several Hui camps, he had already canceled the military registration of these people, so they belonged to his own army and could not be controlled by the government.But Gao Zhongmi was obviously a little cautious after being hit, he just wanted to be careful.

"After I escaped from Zhao Gui's army, Daxingtai called me to meet in my mansion, and gave the slaves and maidservants in the fields to settle down in Huazhou. Mangshan was defeated, and the tiger prison was lost. I went from east to west and did not make an inch of merit. I really received it. Ashamed.

It is only because you are still young and have a promising future, that you have the audacity to accept it and reserve a family property for you to settle down. "

While speaking, a group of people came to the gate of a big house, and there were more than a dozen servants standing in front of the gate.

The first one was a barbarian in his thirties, who came up to him from a distance, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Situ! This handsome young man must be Li Lang. His servant name is He Lande, and he is the governor of the palace. Although the matter is short, I have heard about Li Lang's deeds and demeanor from Situ Gong many times!"

Today's Western Wei Dynasty still inherits the official system of the Northern Wei Dynasty and has not made any reforms. There are eight princes in the court, and Gao Zhongmi's title of Situ is one of them.Although it is only a vacant position with an honorary title, it is also allocated to the official assistant of the government.

This He Lande should be a Xianbei who migrated to the south and was Sinicized, and his behavior and conversation are not significantly different from those of Han officials.

"This is my nephew Li Boshan who was lost before. Today we are happy to reunite. Mr. Lao Changshi prepares wine and food to congratulate him. The servants who are working in the mansion also have extra meals!"

Gao Zhongmi nodded to Chang Shi with a smile, then waved to the servants standing respectfully in front of the door and said: "You and the crowd also come in, take a look at the demeanor of my nephew, and remember who you will serve in the future!"

A group of people had a short conversation in front of the mansion, and after getting to know each other, they returned to the mansion.

There are also many servants standing respectfully in the house, there are about [-] servants, most of whom are women and children, and they all come in one by one to pay respects.

The size of this mansion is not small, with three entrances inside and outside, a front hall and more than a dozen houses on both sides, which are mainly used to receive visitors and organize subordinates' living activities.The central hall is the most spacious and magnificent building in the mansion. It is more than enough for a hundred or ten people to sit in separate seats. The ear chambers on both sides serve both storage and eating functions.

The backyard is divided into two parts, one part is the owner's living area, the other part is the vegetable garden, and the stables are on the side of the vegetable garden.

Gao Zhongmi enthusiastically led Li Tai to walk around the mansion, stood in front of the big house in the back hall and said, "This mansion is naturally not as spacious and pleasant as the old residence in your hometown, Ah Pan, but now you can only follow the Romans when you are living in a foreign state. The family of father and son lived harmoniously in the countryside, but they were persecuted by me...

Ah Pan, you repay your grievances with virtue, and you save me with your words. If you are emotional and reasonable, I should help you buy a house and live in peace.Now that you have paid back, all the things bestowed by Daxingtai will be paid to you together.If you don't hate me for separating your father and son and making it difficult to return to your hometown, I will live here as a sojourner, and we will live together. "

Not long after the reunion, this is already the second time Gao Zhongmi has made such a statement. It can be seen that his sincere attitude is not just a polite talk.

Due to the influence of the memory of later generations, Li Tai is more sensitive to the housing industry.This mansion covers an area of ​​nearly [-] acres, and it is located in the military and political center of Huazhou City. In his opinion, it can definitely be called a mansion.

When he heard that Gao Zhongmi was going to give this mansion to him, Li Tai was really moved, but he quickly shook his head and said, "It really makes me ashamed to say that. Your name is important in the world, regardless of things, Even if I have nothing to say, Yuwen Daxingtai will definitely come to the rescue.

Enyi Yun Yun, please do not repeat.Aye, he is missing, and the envoy is the only close elder I can look up to in Kansai, and I am already grateful for his willingness to take him in and protect him..."

It wasn't that he was playing scheming in front of Gao Zhongmi, but after thinking and feeling for this period of time, he really felt that even if he didn't speak up himself, there was a high probability that Yu Wentai would not do anything to Gao Zhongmi.

Although the current Gao Zhongmi looks like a bereaved dog, the Gao family in Bohai, where he was born, is a representative of the powerful family in Hebei.Even when Gao Huan first entered Hebei, he had to discuss his relatives with the Bohai Gao family, thinking he was a generation shorter than Gao Zhongmi's brothers.

Gao Zhongmi's betrayal of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and defection to the Western Wei Dynasty brought about a considerable political impact.And strictly speaking, the defeat of Mangshan did not have any direct relationship with Gao Zhongmi.

Yu Wentai, as the most outstanding politician in the late Southern and Northern Dynasties, naturally would not casually anger Gao Zhongmi, a descendant with a special status.

Whether Gao Zhongmi is grateful or guilty to himself, Li Tai cannot accept it peacefully.

After all, I am still an uneducated person in the Western Wei Dynasty, while Gao Zhongmi is a high-ranking member of the Sangong. If I can't get along with each other with a correct attitude, if things go on like this, even if there is any old love, it will soon fade away.

Hearing what Li Tai said, Gao Zhongmi sighed again, patted him on the shoulder and said: "A Pan, you don't blame me and hate me, I am relieved a lot. They are all poor people who have left their hometowns and lost power, so there is no need to make distinctions. From now on From now on, you and my uncle and nephew will help each other!"
