Northern Dynasties

When Li Tai returned to Luochuanfang, most of the messy felt tents and shanties outside Fangcheng that occupied a large area had disappeared, replaced by some well-planned camps.

These camps are delimited by bamboo and wooden fences, each occupying a square area, like a vegetable bed guarding the perimeter of the defense city.There are as many as hundreds of households, and as few as dozens of households. They live in separate tents, which appear to be orderly, and it is no longer the chaotic scene when Li Tai returned.

"I haven't seen you for a few months, and a mere Fangcheng is even more lively and prosperous than my state!"

After returning to Beijing with Li Tai, Li Mu passed by here, after seeing the inside and outside of the Fangcheng, he couldn't help humming and said that he couldn't believe what he saw.

Li Tai just smiled when he heard the words, and he was quite proud of Pei Hong and other sailors in the original capital for their achievements in governing the people. Without the help of these subordinates, the situation here would not be reversed in a short period of time .

Li Mu himself did not plan to serve in Dongxia Prefecture for a long time, and he lacked the prestige and channels to attract Shiliu. Of course.

It was already the first ten days of the twelfth lunar month when the Taiwan government's order arrived in Beizhou.Li Tai originally thought that he had just come back, and had no intention of going back, but he did not expect that he was still on the list, and it was specifically stated that he would participate in the Yuan Yue Dachao.

This news was both good and bad for Li Tai. The good thing was that since it was specifically stated that he was going to attend the Great Court Meeting, it was obviously not because the emperor missed him, but most likely it was because of a reward.Although Li Tai is more concerned about whether the actual power can be significantly improved, he doesn't reject even if it's just an improvement in name, at least it's enough to say it.

The bad side was naturally done by himself, not to mention that the eldest grandson's family who offended before had many old students and old officials who were distributed among the Liufang Forbidden Army, and when he went to Chang'an before, he also offended the current prince by the way.So this trip to Chang'an is quite exciting for him, no less than Yu Wentai's mood.

Moreover, he still has a lot of things to do right now, such as the personnel arrangement for the establishment of a new defense, the migration of the Diaoyin Liu family, etc. Although his subordinates can also do it for him, it is the most prudent thing to see by himself after all, so he is not very willing to leave In such a case, I was working on my career in full swing, even if I was asked to go back and make a concession, judging from this posture, it is impossible to give it to me!

When there was still a distance from here, Li Mu sent his slaves to go ahead to observe, probably to find the welcoming team arranged by the court ceremonies here, but the slaves reported nothing but Li Mu was surprised. disappointed.

Several slaves were overjoyed when they heard the words, they only knew that their master had arranged for them to wait here, leaving two people to guide them, and the rest returned quickly to report.Li Tai saw that these people looked familiar, and was about to ask the servants of the He family, but seeing that Li Mu had already pulled on his horse to follow, he had no choice but to go up with him.

Li Mu doesn't have as many messy thoughts as Li Tai, but as the journey gets closer to Chang'an, he becomes more and more anxious, scolding the accompanying servants from time to time, and asking Li Tai some weird questions from time to time, such as Cu Xin asked in the leather cloak, "How does Bo Shan see my outfit? Can I use this to frighten the masses on the day I enter Beijing?"

Regardless of whether he will develop his power based on Chang'an in the future, the construction of the manor on Longshouyuan still needs to be accelerated, otherwise the land will be in vain!

Without hesitation, several slaves who reported the letter went back and forth, followed by Yu Wenhu and Yu Chigang, and Yu Wenhu, who was far away, waved to Li Tai, and then noticed the expression on the front of the line. Embarrassed, Li Mu clasped his fists again and said, "It turns out that Lord Wu An also traveled with Bo Shan and came to Beijing together today. It just so happened that I hosted a banquet in the mansion to wash away the dust and condolences for the returnees who traveled far away. Why don't Lord Wu An come with you?"

What am I talking about?You heard what I said!

After hearing Yu Chigang's words, Li Tai's and Li Mu's expressions changed slightly, but their concerns were different.Li Taizheng was suspicious of Yu Chigang's self-apologizing, as far as he saw, this guy was by no means a good character who corrects when he knows his mistakes and knows how to be polite.

"Boshan, I finally met you, I have been waiting here for a long time!"

A group of people came across the river from the pontoon bridge in the north of Weibei. Li Tai wanted to return to Longshou Yuanzhuang to stay for one night first, and then enter the city tomorrow morning to meet Daxingtai who had already arrived in Chang'an.

Today, the pavilions on both sides of the east avenue of Chang'an City are also very lively, and some people even set up their own tents for their own use.After all, Chang'an is the capital of the country, and the New Year's Eve is approaching, and there are always people who come to Beijing for various reasons.

Although he was in a very upset mood, he could only smile apologetically at Yu Wenhu and said, "What Wu An said is reasonable, I can only thank the Lord for his enthusiasm for coming to welcome you after meeting the Lord."

When passing through Luochuan Fangcheng, seeing the fruitful results of organizing households and governing the people, Li Tai was planning to stop and enter the city to explain some details, but Li Mu couldn't wait, and waved his hands again and again to express that he could bear the hardships of the wind and snow. There is no need to go to the city to rest.

He was still unwilling to be selfish, and walking slowly in this area, suddenly several rich slaves in fresh clothes walked out to the left, crossed their hands from a distance and asked loudly: "If you dare to ask, it is Li Shijun who begged Hu Desheng to return to the court in Beizhou ?”

But Li Mu's mood was completely different from his. He had been very excited since the end of the war, and couldn't wait for the order to arrive. Dang even rushed to Heishuifang City and urged Li Tai to hurry up and start on the road.

Li Mu was a little surprised and said in surprise: "Which meritorious person returns to the capital, he must be given a banquet and be received by His Majesty the Lord?"

Li Mu was full of anticipation that the ceremony to welcome the meritorious officials was gone, but when he heard that even after entering Beijing, he had to rub Li Tai's face even if he wanted to have a hot meal, his mood suddenly became even more unbeautiful, and he shook the whip in his hand slightly, still maintaining With a solemn posture, he said: "I dare to say that I am tired because of my duty. Now that I have returned to Beijing, I should immediately go to worship the Lord and report to Chen Bie. The Lord of Shuichi kindly invites me. I really dare not do it. Boshan, you Say?"

Li Tai wished that others would not know that he had come to Chang'an, let alone a grand welcome ceremony, but under Li Mu's insistence, he could only go with him to the direction of Chang'an City.

In a large city such as Chang'an, people come and go frequently, so there are often some pavilions and buildings near the avenue outside the city for welcoming and sending off.

After Li Tai heard the words, he suddenly cursed, you bastard should have listened to me earlier, we have already had hot soup and rice in my manor, as for the hot face and cold ass here?Now my brother Sa Bao invites me to a banquet, but you still have to use words to prevent me from going!

Although Li Mu was eager to return home, a snowstorm along the way delayed the trip for another two days. When they arrived at Shibaofang in the lower reaches of the Luo River, it was already the middle of the twelfth lunar month. It is bound to miss the Yijia of Daxingtai, so they can only cross the road and enter Beijing from Weibei via Baishui.

At this time, Yu Chigang, who had never spoken all this time, took a step forward under Yu Wenhu's eyes, clasped his fists heavily at Li Tai and said in a deep voice: "Daxingtai enters the palace today, and the emperor will feast together with the returning heroes. If Li Lang refuses to accept the invitation because he cares about the story, I would like to apologize to you today, and I hope that you can put aside the previous suspicions and make a solemn apology with wine and food after returning to Brother Sabao's residence together!"

If Li Tai remembers correctly, this is already the third cloak he has changed in a day, and considering the size of his luggage, if all the furs are packed, there must be at least a dozen more that he has never seen before. For a while, I felt a little overwhelmed, why didn't I feel that Li Mu was so boring before?Li Yana's occasionally tricky and weird thinking can be traced back to the source!

Although Li Mu saw that the clothes of these people did not look like government officials, but it was better than no one cares about them, so he slightly nodded and said, "That's right, I am Li Shijun."

Li Tai was also a little helpless about this, so he could only call out Pei Hong and others, and after explaining some measures along the way, he told them to go back to the city to implement them, and he would return to the city for inspection after the New Year.

Li Tai dispatched more than [-] elite soldiers from Shibaofang to follow him into Beijing. At the same time, he couldn't help sighing that after the completion of the Three Defense City, he gradually felt like a fish in water in Kansai. Sure enough, he had soldiers and guns so he could not panic. .

Li Mu, who was eager to enter the capital, held him back. He said a lot that when he passed the river bridge just now, the defenders interrogated meticulously, and their attitude was very different from usual. He also sent someone to pass the news to other places. The appearance of the people and horses may be the special arrangement that the Beijing Central Rites had for the soldiers and soldiers who returned to the court after victory. If they missed it without entering the city, it would be unrespectful.

This statement is a bit suspicious, but of course it is full of taste. Isn't it credited for Lao Tzu's fight in Beizhou?And what kind of credit can make the imperial court be so generous to each other!

He is indeed a little strange, it is not the first time for Li Mu to be rewarded for his meritorious service. The previous Battle of Heqiao almost saved the life of the boss with his own strength, isn't it more important than this time?Why are you still so restless?
Li Tai reckoned that the big one in the Battle of the River Bridge back then directly raised the guy's threshold too high, so that the stimulation brought by ordinary trivial things was not enough to make him easily excited. In addition to the sullen background in his bones, he probably has been hungry and thirsty for too long, and desperately misses the highlight moments of life.

"The former gave Huangmen's servant Shen Hui the Hexi ambassador to patrol Guazhou, and with the cooperation of the big clan in the other area, he captured the Guazhou thief Deng Yan in one fell swoop without the country's military resources. "

Yu Wenhu could sense Li Mu's thoughts, and explained after hearing the words.

"There is such a thing!"

Li Mu was startled again after hearing the words, while Li Tai's eyes lit up, knowing that this incident marked the beginning of a series of order adjustments in Longyou Hexi, and the power of the father-in-law Duguxin would also reach a new height. Well, although he can't do anything with himself, he can also use this to make a fool of himself!

During this period of time, the personnel resources and power controlled by Dugu Xin were really considerable, at least Weng and his son-in-law would not continue to hide their marriage contract out of fear.
