Northern Dynasties

Chapter 127: Dushui Messenger

When Yu Wenhu was playing tricks at He Ba's house, Su Chuo had already arrived at Li Hu's house in Chang'an City.

Li Hu's family naturally did not dare to neglect this favored official in front of Da Xingtai, the young master Li Zhenxing went out to greet him, invited him into the hall to receive him with some Hui who had returned, and then quickly sent people outside the city Inform Li Hu.

"Su Lingchuo is here too? Could it be Daxingtai..."

When Li Hu outside the city heard the news, his face suddenly became ugly.

The impact of Su Chuo's arrival on his heart was far greater than that of Shuo Hui and Yu Wenhu not long ago.His qualifications in Beizhen, including his position in the Western Wei Dynasty, are slightly higher than Zhao Gui's, and he understands Su Chuo's arrival to Daxingtai's attitude better.

"Who is this Li Boshan? To be so valued by Daxingtai..."

Li Hu frowned and muttered to himself, feeling that things seemed to be getting more difficult, he took off his armor and put on a light hakama pleat, and called his followers to go to the city.

He can still be stubborn about some people who benefit from the small township, but he can't take it lightly when it comes to Su Chuo, an important person in the industry.At this time, Li Hu didn't know that there was a worse thing waiting for him.

When he walked to the front of the house, the slave of the Heba family who had been waiting here came up to meet him, and said to him with a mournful face: "Ah Lang waited for the slave to tell Duke Longxi that the matter with Gao Pingnan has been resolved, thank you Duke Longxi for coming forward... ..."

"Solved...how did you solve it?"

Hearing this, Li Hu's face suddenly became even uglier, and his heart suddenly became angry.

For this matter, he has already done this step, but he still doesn't know anything about it, but the He Ba family brothers have already said that the matter is settled, what does this mean for him?
He was about to continue to ask for more details, but he saw Li Zhen, the son of the receptionist in the front hall, had already walked quickly, and Su Chuo and a few Hui were also standing in front of the corridor to greet him, so he pointed at the Heba family slave and said in a low voice: " Don't leave, tell me the details later!"

After saying this, he exchanged a wink with his son, then strode towards Su Chuo, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Just now I was working in Fangcheng, so I couldn't welcome guests as a householder. I beg Su Shangshu to forgive me."

"The public affairs in Longxi are heavy and complicated, so please don't report the disturbance, please don't offend me."

Su Chuo also stepped forward to return the salute with a smile, and after being polite to each other, they turned around and went back to the hall together.

After each other sat down, Li Hu was not in a hurry to speak, and Su Chuo didn't report his intention first, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward for a while.

The two people were still looking at each other, but Shuo Hui couldn't bear it anymore, so he said first: "Gao Ping's man Li Lang is a guest at the house, and none of the guests present are strangers, can Brother Wen Bin invite him out to the party? "

Hearing this, Li Hu became even more irritable. He thought it was just an ordinary matter, but he didn't expect to put himself in such a cramped situation.

Seeing that Su Chuo was also opening his mouth to speak, he first pointed to his son and said, "Go and invite Li Lang over here."

Not long after, Li Tai came to the hall, seeing some Hui and Su Chuo present, he couldn't help being stunned, a little confused about the situation, and he didn't see any clues from the faces of the two of them after seeing the ceremony.

Su Chuo first sized up Li Tai, then glanced at Li Hu who was sitting on the main seat with an unnatural expression, then raised his finger and frowned at Li Tai and said, "Li Lang, why are you sneaking around? Whether the master is convenient or not, he will forcefully stay here for a few days, no wonder the envoys of the Taiwan government have not been able to visit!"

When Li Tai heard this, he quickly stood up again before his butt was hot, and said with an apologetic expression: "Boshan's nature is lazy, and Su Shangshu laughed at him. After returning, he will definitely come forward to apologize. If you dare to ask Su Shangshu, the government Why did the staff visit each other?"

"What you said earlier, Daxingtai has already reviewed it, and I agree with it, and I plan to preside over the affairs. The specific arrangements will be discussed later, and there is no need to disturb the quietness of the Longxi mansion with the rest of the case. "

Su Chuo waved his hand again and signaled Li Tai to return to the table for the time being.

Hearing this conversation, Li Hu's eyes flickered a few times, and after a moment of pondering, he said, "I'm also a court official, not a casual guest, and I'm also quite curious about what Daxingtai taught Yu Shaoxian. .If the matter is not confidential, can I ask for a side report?"

"It's not a confidential matter. Daxingtai rewards Li Lang's talent in making strategies and discussing affairs, so it is specially used. Daxingtai is granted to be a Zhonglang and an envoy of Dushui, and General Fubo is in charge of the affairs of Luoshui River, canals and weirs. "

After Su Chuo heard the words, he stopped playing tricks and told about Li Tai's new official position in front of Daxingtai.

Not to mention the reaction of the few people present, Li Tai was overjoyed when he heard these words. He was promoted again, and the preparations for the past few days finally had a result!
His ex-official Zhuo Lang and Daxing Taimo Cao joined the army from the fifth-rank official position, and the Dushui envoy was the fifth-rank official, and his rank was promoted by one level.

Daxingtai is engaged in Zhonglang as a staff officer and a servant of the Bafu, and his rank has reached the fourth rank. Although he is no longer in charge of the specific administrative work of the Bafu, the scope of affairs he can contact is much expanded. All matters can be consulted, which can be regarded as the core think tank of Daxingtai!

More importantly, he actually added a general title. Although the titles of the generals of the Western Wei Dynasty were very messy, and he didn't know which general title this General Fubo belonged to, but when he heard this title, he thought of Ma Yuan, the famous general of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It shouldn't be much worse.

Especially for Li Tai, having such a general number means that Yu Wentai no longer regards him as a mere counselor or government bureaucrat, which is also a great breakthrough for his personal future development.

In his dreams, he always dreamed about the opportunity to be able to take charge of his own affairs and develop his own power. Although he guessed that the opportunity was not small, when he heard that the appointment had been officially issued, he couldn't help but smile. He, this little Lu, finally had the opportunity to gallop freely. up!

If it weren't for the fact that he was still in the hall of Li Hu's house, he would always give the master a face, and he would be dancing happily.

"That's really a congratulations to Li Lang. Daxingtai recognizes wisdom and appreciates talents. The former Taiwan government official who is frequently rewarded is still Su Shangshu. The previous sages succeed, Li Lang can follow Su Shangshu as an example, Don't take it for granted!"

Shuohui didn't expect this kid to be promoted so quickly, and after a moment of surprise, he pointed at Li Tai and said with a smile.

Li Tai smiled from ear to ear, nodded repeatedly and said: "It must be, since I have received this kind of reward, I will naturally devote myself to it."

The two sang together, but it made Li Hu in the lead feel even more uncomfortable.

The corners of his mouth trembled a few times, before he squeezed out a decent smile, and said to Li Tai: "It is also a joy for the master to welcome the guest. How can there be no wine when this is a good time? Come, hurry up." Cure wine and food."

While the servant was preparing the banquet, he stood up and apologized, and went back to the inner hall to change his robes, and summoned the servant of the Heba clan here, and asked in a deep voice: "Speak carefully, what happened to this matter?" Solved? Don't hide it!"

Seeing Li Hu's cold and serious expression, the servant of the Heba family talked about the price and conditions that Yu Wenhu had come to the door and put forward with trembling voices.

boom!
After Li Hu listened, he raised his fist and slammed it on the door frame, and said in an angry voice, "How could such a short-sighted fool be born as a hero of the first grand master! One hundred thousand pieces of silk, how dare they make such a wild noise? How to look at me, how will people discuss things?
If you show off your evil desires wildly, you will definitely get nothing!She was originally a good helper in the family, and since then, she has been in a perfect balance of kindness and righteousness!Get out, get out of my house!Report to the second son, from now on, but not life or death, not allowed to disturb! "

After expelling this house slave, Li Hu's anger still remained, and his mood was even worse.Sitting alone in the room for a long time, he waited until his family came to tell that the food and drink had been brought into the hall, and only after the host opened the table, he raised his hand and rubbed his stiff face twice before getting up and leaving.

When he was outside the hall, a few traces of struggle flashed across his face, he lingered for a while, and then he went into the room and sat down, trying to cheer up and signal the guests to enjoy the wine and food to the fullest.

After pondering for a while, he winked at Li Zhen, the son standing beside him, and signaled him to come down and pour wine for the guests.

Su Chuo and Shuo Hui accepted this calmly, but when it was Li Tai's turn, he quickly stood up and said, "I've already entertained you for a few days, how dare you trouble me again."

"It should be, Gao Pingnan, you are a young hero, and you are already well-known in the world. Although the bad guy has horse teeth, he is still silent in the court. I also hope that he can see the good and think like him."

Li Hu picked up the wine glass, showed it to Li Taiyao in the banquet, and drank it down in one gulp.

With his status and position, he naturally couldn't shame himself to apologize to Li Tai.And no matter how high Li Tai's status is, he doesn't need to be condescending before and after.

In the final analysis, it was Da Xingtai's attitude, and he had to understand the meaning of sending Su Chuo to his house directly to inform him about reuse of Li Tai.What's more, the two real sufferers have stopped pursuing the scrutiny. This time, he was really a bad guy in vain, and he was caught off guard.

Li Tai could also feel Li Hu's release of goodwill, although it would not bury the suspicion, but there was no need to continue to argue face to face.In the future, whether to get along with each other in a friendly manner or wait for an opportunity to retaliate is also a matter of future affairs. At least for now, maintain a harmonious face and make your development space more calm.

He took the jug from Li Zhen, stood by the table and filled the wine glass, and drank it like Li Hu did, and then thanked him for entering the table and settled down.

Under the deliberate avoidance and maintenance of several people, the meal was so enjoyable that both the host and the guest enjoyed the meal, so that Li Hu was a little drunk with blurred eyes in the second half of the journey.

Seeing this, Su Chuo was also worried about recurring problems, so he got up to leave first, and several Hui and Li Tai also stood up when they saw this.

Li Hu was already a little drunk, and got up several times with the food table in his hands, but failed, so he signaled his son to send out some people instead.

After Li Zhen sent the guests back to the hall, he saw his father was drinking by himself at the banquet, the corners of his eyes were wet and teary, he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Aye, this is..."

"I'm so sad for the old Taifu! He was a hero in his life, but he has no successors. Even if the old man has a heart of righteousness, what can he do?"

Li Hu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, waved his hand to his son, threw the wine glass on the table, got up and walked out of the hall with a sigh.
