Northern Dynasties

Chapter 252
After Yuan Jihai returned home, he was still thinking about what the prince had explained in his mind, and after his wife returned, he talked about it.

"Li Boshan is a young man. I have had some contact with him today. He is indeed well-deserved and worthy of praise. No wonder His Royal Highness admires him so much and wants to recruit him in the East Palace!"

Recalling the scene of traveling together today, Yuan Jihai also had a good opinion of Li Tai, and said with a smile to his wife: "Madam often regrets that there are very few relatives and friends in Kansai who communicate with each other indoors and talk about friendship freely. Such an outstanding underachiever, if he is often summoned in the court, it will be a great comfort!"

Princess Li Zhihua also smiled and nodded when she heard this, and said, "Your Majesty only found out that there is such a talented person among your relatives, and it's already quite late. This kid, Boshan, I had already seen in the prime minister's mansion before my concubine. , the character is far better than his father and brother. At that time, the wedding was too busy and there was no time to talk about it. Afterwards, they were separated in two places, and it was even more inconvenient to meet each other. So he has already entered Beijing?"

When Daxingtai married a daughter before, Princess Feng Yi went to assist in the ceremony as a female official in the forbidden middle school, and she also saw that Li Tai, a junior in the clan, was admired and sought after by Shiliu, and she was quite proud in her heart.

However, she is not a noble lady who is honored and raised in a leisurely court. She is still serving as a female official in the confinement. She needs to go in and out of the palace, and she needs to be cautious in her daily communication, so she has never had the opportunity to meet and chat with this junior.

At this time, when she heard her husband say that Li Tai also came to Chang'an, and was appreciated by the crown prince, the princess felt quite honored, and planned in her heart to invite Li Tai to her home sometime.

Yuan Jihai nodded in agreement, and after dismissing the servants in the hall, he said to the concubine sternly: "Looking at His Highness the Crown Prince's expression, it seems that it is not as simple as wanting to call Li Boshan to the East Palace.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is getting older and more ambitious, and his thoughts are becoming more profound and thoughtful. He is often worried about being out of line with the most noble family, which is not enough to demonstrate the emperor's high standard in choosing a spouse!

Boshan is a worthy heir of a famous family, a handsome young man, and he is not a match for an ordinary woman in the world.If you have to form a love alliance with the royal family, it will undoubtedly add a good story to the world. "

When the princess heard these words, her expression was slightly moved, but she quickly shook her head and sighed: "It's not too early to say such a calculation. Although they are related relatives, they have never been together for a long time after all. , they don’t know each other’s feelings, and only rely on their own selfish intentions to force their assumptions for others, even if they think they are showing their true feelings, they will inevitably be aggressive.”

After Yuan Jihai heard the words, he still smiled and said: "It's okay to talk about it, besides, this kind of great joy is hard to be envied by others. This kid can be included in this love plan, and he owes a lot to the love and kindness of his parents. What's more What's more, apart from this in Kansai, what other spouse can make him look good? Since His Royal Highness has revealed this feeling to me, it is a reasonable thing to do, and I will do my best to facilitate this good relationship."

Li Zhihua was not as optimistic as her husband. After pondering for a while, she frowned and said, "Of course I also hope that my relatives and young people can be lucky to the emperor's family and make my family more glorious. It should be reasonable, but actually it is not, many obedience and disobedience are not in line with people's wishes..."

When Yuan Jihai heard this, his face became a little ugly, and he said in a deep voice, "So, madam thinks this may not be a good relationship? Could it be that the righteousness in the world has been so weak that it is hard to condescend..."

"My concubine's words are not what I meant. Your Majesty should know that, so why should you respond in such an angry way? When righteousness declines, it is not the fault of the relative who speaks. The fate of the world is very calm, and the deviation within the scale can separate the rise and fall of life and death. Fate The best trade-offs are the best, and the pedantic plans may not be beneficial to each other."

Li Zhihua saw that her husband was still insisting on his own opinion, and was even a little bit annoyed. He took a deep breath and said solemnly: "This boy, Boshan, has not been anxious to visit his old friends and relatives and ask for protection since Xitou. He manages his situation carefully. It can be seen that he is a very assertive person who does not seek luck. As long as he has an opinion in his heart, he will not be bewitched by human feelings to change it. If the disturbance is excessive, resentment will arise instead .”

Yuan Jihai still respected his wife very much, and felt that his anger just now was a bit unreasonable after hearing this, but he still couldn't help frowning and said: "After all, the prince told me the matter, and I have high expectations for it. If I can't To help you get things done, the Crown Prince always has some explanations. Why don’t you invite Li Boshan here and briefly explain the matter, and how he wants to respond, just listen and not persuade.”

Li Zhihua shook his head after hearing the words, sighed and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may seem to be clever and resourceful, but in fact he often has rashness and miscalculations. Boshan is not a sage in the field, nor is he a traitor to the enemy country. If the Crown Prince is really If you intend to call for a visit, is there any way to follow?

Your Majesty chooses the chief of the department by himself, if you force him to fight for it just because of my family's friendship, it is not at all the same as seizing talents for the society and choosing a spouse for the clan.Your Majesty really doesn't need to worry about this, perhaps soon after, the crown prince will forget about this matter first. "

Yuan Jihai couldn't help but nodded when he heard this, and agreed with his wife's opinion.The prince entrusted the matter to him because he was looking for convenience in a human way, but if he faced up to this matter and Li Boshan from the heart, he would naturally have a more dignified attitude and approach.

The husband and wife discussed it and decided that they should just assume that the prince did not entrust this matter, but they still wanted to invite Li Tai to the mansion as a guest, and there was no need to alienate the family and friends in their own family for some trivial matters.

After Li Tai left Wang Meng's house after expressing condolences, he was still a little uneasy because of the prince's attitude towards him, so he didn't plan to stay in Chang'an any longer.

Although the crown prince proposed to set up tent road sacrifices for Wangmeng above the fifth rank in Beijing, he is not an official in Beijing, so it would not be impolite to not set up one.When I came to Chang'an this time, I originally went with Duguxin in private. Now that the work has been done, of course I can stay or stay as I please.

However, when the invitation from Feng Yi's Wang family was sent to the village, he did not dare to neglect it, and immediately asked the villager to prepare some gifts and follow him to visit.

Just relying on Feng Yi, Wang Yuan, and Jihai, he doesn't have such a big face. Whether Li Tai should deal with it or not depends on his own mood.But for his aunt Feng Yi Wangfei Li Zhihua, after all, he still has to show enough respect.

In the past, he was still unknown in the world, and he was busy with his livelihood or work. It was justifiable not to visit him, but now his parents and seniors have personally sent invitations. It may directly affect all his human relations in Kansai.

After all, she is Li Chong's daughter, so she still has some face.

When Li Tai came to the gate of King Feng Yi's mansion in the city, several children from the household stood in front of the door to greet him, namely Yuan Heng, the son of King Feng Yi, Yuan Jian who was beaten by Li Tai in Shangyuan last year, and another A young man who is the same age as Li Tai and also from the Li family in Longxi, his name is Li Licheng.

This kind of treatment shows that they attach great importance to Li Tai. The brothers of the Yuan family are considered Li Tai's elders in terms of seniority.As for this Li Licheng, he is also a direct descendant of Li Chong's Longxi Li family.

Li Tai didn't dare to push him too far, so he got off his horse and walked towards the three of them.And those three people also got the advice of the relatives in the household, and they were not frivolous and self-willed. They raised their arms and bowed to each other with a few feet away from each other, and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Governor Li Shiyu is a virtuous person, and today I am honored to receive you at the household."

Li Tai expressed his stance again and again and did not dare to take it seriously. After exchanging greetings at the door, accompanied by the three of them, he went straight to the middle of the house. After entering the hall, he bowed solemnly to Princess Feng Yi and Li Zhihua who was sitting in the hall: Shaoyu pays homage to the benefactor, the former is tired of work and clumsy, and he has only come to see him until now, I implore the princess to forgive me!"

"Boshan doesn't need to be too polite. Alas, let me call you small characters. It's not the first time I've met Ah Pan. When I was in the auspicious ceremony in Taifu, Huazhou, I had already seen your outstanding demeanor. But then At that time, Ah Pan was alone in the scene where the crowd was vying for attention, and I am afraid that he did not see his parents who are not often seen upstairs."

Princess Feng Yi looked at Li Tai with a warm smile on her face, and raised her hand to signal him to enter the table without ceremony. When she saw the few sons in the household who were sitting with Li Tai, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "No wonder Ah Pan can get Appreciation by the masses is really outstanding among peers, and people can't ignore it! Usually we can't see each other often because of circumstances, but now that we have entered the hall, we must visit frequently in our spare time!"

After Li Tai heard the words, he nodded quickly, and at the same time couldn't help looking at the aunt, feeling a little weird.

The seniority in a big family is indeed a matter that makes people speechless. His great-grandfather Li Chengnai is the longest in the family, and Li Chong is the youngest among his peers. The aunt in front of him is also the youngest daughter of Li Chong. It's too big, but it seems to be the longest generation in the Longxi Li family.

Although Li Tai often prides himself on being the head of the Guanzhong family of the Li family in Longxi, in fact, this self-awareness is really low. Apart from himself, I am afraid that even his cousin Li Licheng in the hall does not recognize him very much.

"I called you, Ah Pan, to see you today, and I have something to tell you. Although my family is not strong in Guanxi, it does not mean that there is no sign of it. Recently, the funeral of Wang Taifu, all families need to set up tents for road sacrifices, and my family naturally cannot." Absent. I originally intended that filial piety should be in charge of setting up accounts, but since you, Ah Pan, have already entered the capital, you should preside over this matter!"

The concubine first said to Li Tai with a smile, and then pointed to Li Licheng, who was in the other seat with an unnatural expression, and said, "Don't blame me for being filial and harmonious. There are no tribesmen who are not timid enough to stand on the stage and declare their power, no matter how thick the ancestral shadow is, people will not respect you now! It is your blessing to have such a talented elder brother who is not shy to be taken care of by the masses!"
