Northern Dynasties

Chapter 200
When Li Tai came, he was tied up and taken into the Ba Mansion, but when he left, Yu Wentai arranged for him twenty sergeants in the Ba Mansion tent to follow him, and they will protect him personally during the next period of time.

The political struggles in the Western Wei Dynasty were not just about spamming each other face-to-face, or secretly plotting to kill people without blood. When it got serious, they would really fight face-to-face.

Li Tai himself was assassinated by Zhao Gui's slaves, and that was when the conflicts between them were not too serious.But this time, he was actually involved in the high-level political struggles in the Western Wei Dynasty.

The eldest grandson's family has never been a good man and a faithful woman, but it was a wealthy Xianbei family that grew up along with the Northern Wei regime's expansion of territory and power struggles, and still retains a strong Xianbei style.

Even if his family has declined along with Yuan Wei Guozuo now, if he really made up his mind to deal with Li Tai, the way would be very wild.

Yu Wentai will take advantage of this turmoil to deal a big blow to the eldest grandson's family. Of course, Li Tai, who is on the opposite side of the conflict, cannot be easily resolved.

In addition to sending Li Tai [-] of his own personal guards, he also told him not to leave Huazhou territory easily during the recent period, it is best to stay at home and not go out, and even pay attention to diet.

Li Tai did not dare to neglect his own life and safety.In this era, there are many big figures who lost their lives because of recklessness, as far away as Er Zhurong, the godfather of Beizhen, Muhe Bayue, the first generation of Wuchuan, and Gao Cheng of the Eastern Wei Dynasty a few years later, compared with their status and fame, they can be said to have died. ridiculous.

Compared with these people, Li Tai is still a small bean sprout. If there is any conspiracy against him, the psychological burden of the conspirators will naturally be smaller.

Taking advantage of Yu Wentai's opportunity to show his concern for his personal safety, he ordered ten sets of Mingguang armor at Yu Wentai's house to arm his cronies.

It is also because the amount of materials he donated this time is really considerable, even surpassing some envoys who inspected remote states and counties. Although this request is a bit out of line, Yu Wentai still satisfied him, and told him to take care of the armor and maintain it carefully. Use it, and it will be handed back to Taifu when it is useful.

Mingguang armor is not only eye-catching in shape, but also has the best protection among all kinds of armor nowadays, far surpassing the general Liangdang armor.

Li Tai had obtained a lot of armor before, but he didn't have a Mingguang armor.The only time I had close contact with it was Dayue before. After wearing it and showing off, I was taken back by someone.

This time, ten of them were brought in at once, and the sad mood was slightly relieved.As for Yu Wentai's last exhortation, he just pretended not to hear it. At most, I will go up to him if there is something wrong, and there is no way to return A back!

Under the protection of the soldiers of the Overlord's Mansion, Li Tai returned to Gao Zhongmi's house, and retreated from the others in the hall. Lush and rich in party feathers, I am only worried that they may attack people close to me. In the next period of time, uncle must be careful to defend himself. If there is no important matter in the city, it is better to stay together in the hometown."

"I'm alone, so I'm in the city and I'm involved in something important. If that's the case, then I'll go back to my hometown with you, Apan."

Gao Zhongmi was very open-minded, and there was no panic on his face. Instead, he comforted Li Tai and said: "Since the calamity, I just lived by stealing, and one more day is a fluke. Don't feel guilty or worried, A Pan. We survived a catastrophe, it can be said that our fate is strong. The declining sect fights us for our lives, it is to use the short to strike the long, and it will only hurt ourselves!"

Li Tai was delighted to hear this. Although the argument was a bit absurd, the conclusion was correct.Indeed, no matter how this matter develops, the one who will suffer the most in the end will only be Changsun.

There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, they cleaned up, leaving only some servants to guard the courtyard, and then went straight to Shangyuan Village.

Not long after Li Tai entered the village, two cousins, Cui Qian and Lu Rou, who were far away in Chang'an, came hand in hand.

After seeing Li Tai, the two quickly stepped forward without waiting for him to speak, grabbed his arm and asked in a loud voice: "A Pan, what happened between you and the Wang family of Shangdang?"

"Has the matter disturbed the cousins? It seems that the Shangdang Wang family is really domineering!"

Seeing that the two of them looked a little anxious, Li Tai smiled and comforted him: "Take it easy, two cousins, I don't want to talk in detail here, let's talk about it when we enter the village."

A group of people walked into the village and sat down, Lu Rou said with a serious expression: "No matter what the inside story is, Ah Pan, don't wait for it! The day before yesterday, I was still in charge of the Secretary for Agriculture, and I was lured out by the envoy of Zhongshu , I am not allowed to try the case again, and I will ask again and again about your inspection of the Zhengguo Canal. There are also county officials who have entered the court, saying that you have visited the prefectures and counties and Chen Bing disturbed the people! If the crime is confirmed, I am afraid that there will be court Wei came to arrest..."

Hearing that the eldest grandson's family took action so quickly, not to mention the actual effect, this kind of stormy atmosphere has been created.

Li Tai saw that both of them looked worried, so he stopped being a joke and told about the dispute between them.After the two listened, instead of letting out a sigh of relief, their faces became more sad.

"A Pan, you are really not cautious this time, how can you be so rash... The situation in Kansai is so hidden now, not to mention that everyone is in danger, but at least you have to think twice before acting, don't take yourself lightly Dangerous place. Daxingtai En, you are not shallow, do you have a detailed report after you return? But the matter is so deep, Daxingtai may not be able to justify it."

When Cui Qian heard that the matter was so serious, his thoughts were also spinning quickly: "This matter involves the private affairs of the Changsun family, and they should not bother others for the time being. Now the only one in the court of the Changsun family is Feng Yigong. To convict you, you still need to go through the regulations.

That's it, I will try my best to delay the process for you for a few days when I enter the court later, and you will report to Daxingtai to resign as soon as possible here, and you will retire before the crime is committed, and all kinds of accusations will be light.You are not weak here in Shangyuan, if I send soldiers to guard here again, even if his family is lynched and hunted down, they will not succeed easily!
Although you are short-lived, you can finally clear up the dispute.In the coming year, even if he can't do anything inside, he will be friendly with the Dukes of Hanoi and Changle, and there is still room for advancement through meritorious service. "

Cui Qian could think of many things in such a short period of time, and even conceived a plan for Li Tai's life, which shows that he is indeed sophisticated and thoughtful.

In such a short period of time, the eldest grandson's family has woven a chain of crimes for Li Tailuo from the state and county to the court, which shows the great political influence of his family.In the face of such a menacing situation, it would be a good idea for a strong man to give up all his titles and titles and put his life first.

But this is just a general situation. Li Tai now clearly knows the idea of ​​Daxingtai, so of course he won't be a coward.

The panic of the two cousins ​​was not because of timidity, but because they were worried about Li Tai.

Whether a family is strong or not requires a dynamic comparison.But once a strong cognitive concept has been formed, it will take a process and an opportunity to get rid of it.

The Changsun family has been strong for a long time. Even in the Western Wei Dynasty, they are still high-ranking officials and generous salary. This is the so-called centipede that is dead but not stiff.Just like when Li Tai first entered Kansai, even though he had no influence, he could make people look up to him just because of his background.

Cui Qian and the others subconsciously didn't want Li Tai and the eldest grandson's family to confront each other fiercely, because there was no chance of winning.

This can be regarded as a consensus of Shiliu, and when most people think so, even without the help of the eldest grandson's family, Li Tai will be pushed down by the wall.After all, who would really care how many bowls of noodles the six sons ate?

"It makes me ashamed to make my cousins ​​worry about me. But the matter is not so critical. Have you seen those Wu Ben outside the hall? Daxingtai left my house yesterday to give food, and gave them tents. Stay home and protect."

Li Tai pointed to the overbearing warriors outside the hall and said with a smile to the two.

Lu Rou's mind was relatively simple, and she was overjoyed when she heard that Daxingtai was so concerned about Li Tai's safety.

But after Cui Qian pondered for a while, the brows that had just been stretched were frowned again, and he said in a deep voice: "Could it be that Daxingtai is planning... This is a bit unwise. If the situation gets out of control, you, Apan, are still deeply involved , I'm afraid it's even more dangerous."

"Daxingtai has deep thoughts, so naturally he won't easily stir up troubles. He wants to focus on maintaining the stability of the government. However, the Changsun family itself is not as indestructible as outsiders see!"

Li Tai understands that Cui Qian feels that the authority of Daxingtai is still not enough to completely control the inside and outside, and can uproot the eldest grandson's family, so he also said in a mysterious voice: "Come closer, two cousins, don't worry about this matter." There is something hidden. Feng Yigong looks vicious, but he may not know all about Qu Yin. After you have heard about this, don't go out and tell others..."

Peeping and gossiping is probably human nature, and seeing Li Tai's mysterious words, the two of them also widened their eyes and moved closer.

Li Tai satisfied his bad taste of talking about people's right and wrong, and then said with a smile: "So no matter how noisy this matter is, it will end up anticlimactic, and it will only make people laugh."

"People only humiliate themselves, and then don't humiliate them! Therefore, the king of Shangdang can be said to be a good minister who is in danger, but because of a momentary lack of self-cultivation, his family style has been corrupted to such an extent. It is really embarrassing for those who hear it!"

After Cui Qian heard it, he let out a long sigh, and then pointed at Li Tai with a smile and reprimanded: "No wonder you are so calm, seeing me and Zi Gang panicking just now, I think you couldn't stop laughing in your heart!"

"How dare you! I still look up to my cousins ​​to protect me in the court and preserve my reputation. Although I am a member of the government, if I lose my reputation in the court, I will inevitably be trapped by public opinion and move forward. Difficult!"

It's hard for Li Tai to admit that he really meant to see the jokes of these two people, so he said it seriously.

"Don't worry, although you are well-known in the Taiwan government and enjoy a lot of favors, our idiotic relatives and friends are not alone in the court and have no party. Naturally, we will not sit by and let you be framed and slandered! Evil is not the only voice, and the eldest grandson's family will never think of convicting you based on one-sided words!"

After learning about Qu Yin who was under the surface, Cui Qian said confidently.
