Northern Dynasties

Chapter 196
Li Tai felt that his fundamental fate might be in conflict with the regime of the Western Wei Dynasty.

Every time I feel a little elated and feel like I'm going to be awesome, I'll be hit right away.Sometimes this blow is inflicted by others, and sometimes it is purely self-inflicted.

For example, this time, he had clearly captured the Hongfa Temple and gained a lot of money, so he really didn't have a strong motivation or reason to continue to make trouble, but he did it anyway, and the result was another stabbing.

Sun Zhi, the eldest king of the Shangdang, was one of the ministers of the Northern Wei Dynasty who fled westward from Emperor Xiaowu along with Hu Sichun, and his family was a wealthy Xianbei family second only to the Yuan family of the royal family.

Although it is said that even the royal family of the Western Wei Dynasty has become a daylily that is out of season, after all, it will not fall, especially in the upper-level political structure, the Yuan family and the Changsun family still have a detached influence and appeal that cannot be underestimated. .

Otherwise, Gao Huan and Yu Wentai, the two old town soldiers, would have done it alone, so why put another Yuan family puppet on the table.In the Western Wei Dynasty, the political appeal of the Xianbei giants headed by the Yuan family was far stronger than that of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

Li Tai and the others destroyed the Changsun family's temple where they enshrined their ancestral tablets. If it is an analogy, it must be a little worse than directly destroying the Western Wei Ancestral Temple, but the effect of attracting hatred must also be leveraged.

There are still many uncertainties in Liu Min's words, but in fact, they are just self-consolation that she doesn't want to face.

Although there were not many people in this temple, there were three to four hundred people. Although the fighting was fierce, when the temple was breached, many people in the temple were also captured.After a little interrogation, they knew that the people who had been enshrining this temple were the Changsun family in Chang'an, and there were even two members of the Changsun family among the monks presiding over it.

"This, this... There are many famous temples in Beijing, and there are many eminent monks. Why did the royal family of Shangdang choose this desolate valley to enshrine the souls of their ancestors?"

After confirming this fact, Liu Min sighed half annoyed and half puzzled, really couldn't figure it out.

Yes, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

Li Tai also couldn't figure it out. Even when he learned that the temple could not be attacked by force, he once suspected that it might be the stronghold of bandits or thieves. He never thought that it might be the family temple set up here by a high-ranking family in Beijing.

Is the eldest grandson's family greedy for feng shui here?Then why not just bury the ancestors here?If you set up a monument, the old men know how to avoid it anyway, so why did they come across this bad luck!
As soon as he thought about this, Li Tai felt that it was not his fault, the son of a daughter would not sit down, even if he was a living person, if he didn't take precautions, he would inevitably suffer the unpredictable disaster of the white dragon fish suit, not to mention Say undead.

So the most important thing for a person is that he can see it well, I am a dignified upstart, afraid of your eldest grandson's family being an outdated royal family?In the final analysis, it was because you didn't respect your ancestors enough that you accidentally offended me, which made me feel quite uncomfortable.

Surprised by this situation, Liu Min didn't have time to clean the battlefield carefully, leaving some armored personnel to garrison, and hurried back to report to Li Tai.

But things have already happened, and it will not help to regret any more. If you don't clean up the spoils, you will be too sorry for yourself.

So Li Tai let Liu Min stay there, and he led a group of trilogy back to the temple.

When he came outside this temple, Li Tai understood why Liu Min and others were unable to attack for a long time. Although the scale of this temple was far smaller than that of Hongfa Temple, its terrain was deep and dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It is located in a valley, with rugged and steep mountains on both sides. There is a winding river that has dried up around the temple. The high temple wall separates the inside and outside. Climbing into the temple, but if there are enough soldiers stationed, this is not a defensive loophole.

"Is this a Buddhist temple? It's clearly a fortress!"

Li Tai muttered to himself, and gradually realized that the eldest grandson's family set up a temple here, probably not just for worshiping Buddha and offering sacrifices to the dead ancestors.

The monks and captives in the temple had been imprisoned. After Li Tai entered the temple, he was led directly to the warehouse in the temple. When he opened the warehouse door, he could see stacks of grain piled up in it, and they were all full of rice.

There are five such granaries in the temple, storing at least [-] shi of grain.There are also a lot of food materials such as dried dried meat, watermelon sauce, ointment, etc., and the quantity is not cheap.

There is also a warehouse full of leather, tendons, bamboo and wood materials, etc., and there are even many semi-finished arrowheads and unpolished armor pieces.

In addition, there are also gold and jade jewellery, fine brocade, spices and medicinal materials, etc., which are of high value and can be easily transported and circulated in the world.

Seeing these storages, Li Tai fully understood that this temple should be a retreat route arranged by the Changsun family.

If it is said that the Changsun family gathered armored soldiers here and intended to rebel, that would be a bit too high of them.Although the material storage here is rich, it is not yet to the extent that it can be used to conquer the world.

The Changsun family and the Yuan family have the same origin, and although their political status is high, they share weal and woe to a certain extent.If Yu Wentai really wants to attack the Yuan family, the Changsun family must also be implicated.

So such a place was arranged to transport some of the family's property out of Beijing and hide it in the name of worshiping Buddha.If some catastrophe were to happen one day, some of the clansmen would be arranged to flee here, so that they could survive better with these supplies, and even find another way of life.

This area originally belonged to the hilly area in the northern part of the Guanzhong Plain. From this temple to the north is the rolling Liupan Mountain, and to the north is the sparsely populated northern Shaanxi and Hetao areas. inconvenient.

After realizing this, Li Tai couldn't help feeling that the political situation in the Western Wei Dynasty was really undercurrent. The seemingly high-ranking big shots probably had to sleep with one eye open.

Emperor Yuan Baoju of the Western Wei Dynasty was so rebellious and strong, he could only pretend to be his grandson to save his life when he went to the west.Although Yu Wentai is the leader of the domineering mansion, he dare not even raise his son at home.The eldest grandson's family also has a lofty status, but they still have to reserve backup hands and be ready to run away at any time.

Fortunately, the Western Wei Dynasty itself did not have an absolutely strong side, and the Eastern Wei Dynasty was stalking it outside, struggling to survive or not. Everyone can still reach a consensus on forbearance for the country.Otherwise, with so many forces gathered in Guanzhong, it would be like raising Gu, and the dog's brain would have to be beaten out!
But at the same time, Li Tai also breathed a sigh of relief.Since the temple of Changsun's family has such secrets, even if they feel resentful to the extreme, they must not dare to publicize it and pursue it to the end.

Since it was a coincidence that he found this place, it is doomed that the eldest grandson's family will not be able to spend these life-saving money, so of course Li Tai has to accept it with a smile.

He also thought about whether to submit this property as evidence to the Daxingtai to expose the Changsun family's hidden intentions, so as to completely overthrow the Changsun family and prevent the possibility of crazy revenge by his family, but he quickly dismissed it. This is a bit naive idea.

Yu Wentai really didn't know that the Changsun family was half-hearted, or believed that the Changsun family would not betray him?In the final analysis, it's just a group affair due to the current situation, and no one will show their sincerity to others!

The current situation is that we all know in our hearts that we don't like each other, but we still have to make do with it.This layer of window paper is not pierced for a day, and everyone can still be ministers in the same hall.

But if Li Tai really pierces the window paper, can Yu Wentai eat up these political forces that are still loyal to the Western Wei royal family?

Since we can't solve the problem, let's get rid of the person who raised the problem. It's all Li Boshan's little bastard who framed and slandered us on his own initiative. We have always been close and good comrades in arms!
In the Eastern Wei Dynasty, there was also Du Bi, who was upright and courageous in admonishing him. How did Gao Huan treat him?
If Li Tai really dared to do this, he felt that although Yu Wentai would not be able to get rid of him, there was a high probability that he would be kicked out of the Overlord's Mansion and sent to the imperial court, and let the eldest grandson's family clean up by themselves.

He can provoke the relationship between Yu Wentai and General Yuan Cong, because Yu Wentai can control these people, but if he dares to deal with problems that Yu Wentai finds difficult, the boss may not be willing to wipe his ass.

For the sake of the court and the community, Li Tai couldn't do this, so he had to swallow these materials and goods with tears.You are all the good assistants of the society who help the righteous way, but I, Li Boshan, am a little villain who makes troubles everywhere with his hands and feet!
So Li Tai arranged for people to take good care of these materials here, and when the hearts of the newly-received trilogy in Hongfa Temple stabilized, they would come and transport these materials away, and then run quickly, fearing that they would not be able to escape if they walked slowly.

When he returned to Hongfa Temple and explained his thoughts to Liu Min, Liu Min frowned again and said, "This matter should be returned to Daxingtai as soon as possible..."

"Since the matter is still hidden in the song, it must not be written in the text!"

Of course it is necessary to play. Li Tai has no friendship or obligation to cover up for the eldest grandson's family, but he must not leave documentary evidence.Once these documentary evidences are kept in files or leaked out, the eldest grandson's family will have to fight them to death, and they will not be innocent unless they are killed.

Liu Min is a person with a lot of scheming experience, but his vision is limited. Facing this level of intrigue, it is still a bit difficult to decide.But he still trusts Li Tai, after all, he watched Li Tai skyrocket in a very short time after entering the Taifu, and won the favor of Daxingtai.

So regarding Li Tai's decision, even though he still couldn't figure it out for a while, he didn't question it anymore.It's just that when Li Tai proposed to share the loot, he hastily waved his hands and refused, because he really didn't want to have a deeper grudge with the eldest grandson's family just because he was greedy for such a little wealth.

Li Tai didn't force this, even if Liu Min didn't participate in the distribution of the spoils, the two of them had to bear the blame together.With all the ancestral tablets removed from the Buddhist hall, how can we still hope to meet each other with a smile and go to dinner?

Although there are still township tyrants and bandits in Yunyang County who have not been completely wiped out, these things can be handed over to the county government. Li Tai immediately ordered the trilogy to load the goods from the two temples and prepare to run away.

He originally wanted to wrestle with the county and county in this area, exchange the temple and land of Hongfa Temple with the county government for some labor fees, after all, he was the one who won it.

But Changsun Zhi's son, Changsun Ziyan, led a group of forbidden troops to garrison Gaoling on the north bank of the Wei River, and it took less than two days to get here quickly.

When Li Tai read it, he made the crown prince Yuanqin feel ashamed. If he really wanted to be blocked and sneaked to Chang'an, it would be too exciting to think about how these people would concoct themselves.

So to be a person, you have to have a front and back view, and you can't be too arrogant. If your popularity is too bad, you have to pay back if you have a bad luck.Anyway, after running away this time, Li Tai doesn't plan to go for a walk in Chang'an in recent years.
