Northern Dynasties

On the avenue in the east of Chang'an City, there has been an endless stream of vehicles and horses entering Beijing for the past few days, making it even more lively than the city.

Li Tai was wearing a brand-new brocade robe, and the starched and straight line of the robe made his figure even more upright and mighty. He was leaning lazily beside a withered willow on the high hill on the left side of the road, surrounded by guards dressed just now. The hakama pleated military uniforms received by the forbidden army attracted the people who came and went to look around frequently, not daring to come close to disturb them.

Looking at the crowds passing by under Gao Gang, Li Tai thought in his heart that there would be at least four or five thousand people passing by in the one hour or so since he came here, but he did not expect that Chang'an, as the capital of a puppet regime, would still be there by the end of the year. Can gather so many popularity.

If you set up a tea shop in front of the intersection, selling some buttermilk wine and even haggis noodle soup, how much would you earn in a day?
So many people who came to the city were not all officials on business, there were also people from the suburbs of Beijing visiting relatives and friends or coming to the city to buy and sell fashionable goods.This is naturally a good sign, which means that the people's livelihood in Guanzhong has been greatly restored.

However, seeing that most of the tourists traveled in groups and all carried weapons and knives, it can be seen that the security situation is still worrying.It should be noted that there were still many bees and robbers around Chang'an in the early Sui Dynasty. Li Tai was a little strange about this. He just felt that these bandits were a little too bold. Is he really afraid of a big purge around Chang'an?

But just a few days after he took the post of General Wuwei, he understood the truth inside. A considerable part of the bandits active around Chang'an were related to the city guards and even the imperial guards stationed in the surrounding area, and some of the imperial guards were not on duty. When he was a guard, he simply played a guest role as a bandit, reminiscent of the general of the Sui Dynasty, Mai Tiezhang, serving as a driver during the day and being a thief at night.

Li Tai knew that his military guard general was only a temporary arrangement, and it was impossible to serve in the permanent guard system for a long time, so although he was a little displeased with the military discipline of the imperial army, he didn't bother to pay attention to it.What's more, the internal personnel relations of the Forbidden Army are intricate and complicated, and it's impossible for him to sort it out in a short time as a newcomer.

So after taking office, he just went to the Forbidden Army barracks to sign in. By the way, he arranged some positions for his own troops as grassroots commanders of the Forbidden Army, and received a spare salary to earn some extra money for the New Year. Accept it, worrying that the ethos of my trilogy will be ruined by the sloppy style of the Forbidden Army.

As time gradually approached noon, a team of dozens of people left the city with felt tents and other things. The slaves wandered around but found no free space to set up their tents, except for the high hill occupied by Li Tai and his party.

But seeing those sergeants wearing the robes of the Forbidden Army, several domestic slaves did not dare to step forward. Although there are many dignitaries in Chang'an, the Liufang Forbidden Army is a well-deserved tyrant in Chang'an. Cause endless trouble.

Shi Ning's entry to Beijing this time is not just for the Yuan Yue Dynasty, he has already stepped down as the governor of Dongyi Prefecture, so he also brought back his subordinates.Because they have been in other states for a long time, the people and horses have not yet arranged a suitable location for a while.It is obviously impossible to go straight to Chang'an like this. No matter how bad the military discipline of the Liufang Forbidden Army is, it will be embarrassing. How can people be armed to petition casually.

At this time in the carriage, although the lady Miaoyin in plain clothes was sitting on the tapestry, the sash that was twisted between her fingers was already taut, and the little maid beside her pitifully clenched the other end of the sash, and said in a shy voice: " Ladies, it’s about to be torn off... Otherwise, why don’t you lift the curtain of the car and take a look?”

Li Tai just spoke out the entanglement in his heart, speaking from the bottom of his heart, after seeing Li Tai's current status, their brothers really wanted to have a good relationship with him, but Li Tai and Zhao Gui couldn't get along at all.

He was still puzzled here, but a general from the Dugu family in the opposite team had already recognized him, and hurriedly rode out of the team, and crossed his hands to say hello to him from a distance: "Governor Li, I have been ordered to escort the eldest lady to the capital, please. The governor came to greet him from afar."

Isn't this nonsense, if I didn't pick up my wife, I would leave the city early in the morning to take up space here?

Perhaps there was a way of navigating between them at ease, but it was not something their brother's intellect could do.So they really can only get along with each other in a neutral manner, not to mention hostility, but not friendly either.

The followers of the two families worked together, and the tent was set up quickly. He Bawei first invited Li Taili to sit down in the tent, and then he bowed to Li Taichang, and said not without shame: "I have offended you in the past, today I I want to sincerely apologize to you, Boshan, and I implore you to be tolerant and forgive me for the kindness of my uncle who has passed away."

The atmosphere in the tent was a bit dull, Li Tai didn't want to spoil his joyful mood of seeing his wife, so he simply got up and walked out of the tent, when a family general came to meet him in a hurry, looking at Li Tai, he said: "Ah Lang, here you come, come here Already! Hanoi's official trilogy..."

The two brothers offended him many times. He Bawei bowed his head and apologized, Li Tai didn't know what he was talking about for a while.But their brothers' energies are just like this, at most they will cause trouble for themselves, and the actual troubles and losses are nothing.

The status and status of the two brothers had their own unusual meaning in the Western Wei Dynasty, but to put it bluntly, that was the case.It's not that they didn't mobilize their old friends to embarrass themselves, but the actual results were so-so.

Li Tai waved his hand to stop his shouting, while he strode towards a higher place. After standing still, he raised his hand and covered his eyebrows to look east, and saw a group of thousands of people coming here.Although he knew that his father-in-law's family was rich and powerful, he couldn't help being surprised after seeing this battle: "Is it this team?"

When the team approached, he found that most of the team was strong and strong, and the ranks were full of spirit, there must be at least two thousand people, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious. It is not enough to dispatch more than 2000 powerful soldiers just to send the wife off.But if it is to attack Chang'an City, 2000 troops are a bit small.

Standing on the high hill, Li Tai had a panoramic view of this, and raised his hand to signal the two attendants to go downhill to attract people.Not long after, He Bawei with an embarrassing look on his face was ushered up. With a few feet away, he hastily got off his horse and cupped his hands to Li Tai: "Li Sanqi, no, Boshan, how are you? I plan to choose a day to celebrate my promotion, but I didn’t expect to meet you outside the city today, Boshan, are you here to welcome relatives and friends who came to Beijing?”

Although this kind of scrutiny was a little rash, Li Tai was not dissatisfied.Shi Ning is also one of He Basheng's old ministries, and he has a close friendship with Duguxin. He used to be the governor of Dongyi Prefecture, and was at the forefront of the confrontation between the Eastern and Western Wei. It was the first time Li Tai saw Shi Ning after failing to return to mourn.

His attitude was not salty, and he was already a little upset with He Bawei. Even though today was the big day for his wife to enter Beijing, He Bawei, a nominal cousin, didn't leave the city until noon, which almost made people have no tent to rest. .If it wasn't inconvenient to reveal his relationship with Mrs. Miaoyin now, Li Tai wouldn't give this guy a good face.

Seeing that He Bawei was quite sensible and took the initiative to invite, Li Tai's complexion improved a bit, and he raised his hand to signal his followers to help set up the tent on this slope.The place he chose has a good view, with a panoramic view of the east and west scenery. It only needs to block the cold wind from the Wei River in the north, and the sunlight is not too cold.If it wasn't for the new skin of the forbidden army, the king of this piece of land would not be able to occupy it.

He Bawei really didn't want to stay with Li Tai, but even if there was some free land nearby, there were many rough and potholes, which was really not suitable for setting up a tent, so he could only bite the bullet and nodded in agreement: "In that case, then Thank you so much, Bo Shan. The person who came here today is no stranger to you, but the daughter of the Duke of Hanoi who has fulfilled his filial piety by following his uncle, Bo Shan, if you have nothing else to do, can you stay here to welcome me?"

When He Bawei rushed over, Shi Ning withdrew his gaze from looking at Li Tai, exchanged greetings with each other, and then led them to the car in which Miss Miaoyin was riding in the team.

"The governor misunderstood. Most of the strong men in the household followed the lord west to Longbian, and there were only a hundred or so people who stayed at home. These men and horses are from the tribe of Marquis Wuping. They were called to the court and passed through Huazhou. When we set off, we will go to Beijing together."

Hearing the general's explanation with a smile, Li Tai finally understood, but he quickly looked into the team and asked expectantly, "Wu Pinghou is also in the team?"

He Bawei didn't expect there to be so many people in this group. He didn't even prepare the place to set up the tent in advance, let alone settle down the more than 2000 people of Shi Ning.

Li Tai may not dare to kill them directly, but it is easy to make them uncomfortable, but it is not necessary, there is really no enmity between each other, it is just some unpleasant conflicts, let alone With He Basheng's face in mind, keeping each other at arm's length and keeping in touch with each other is a comfortable way to get along.

"The juniors are the ones who have admired Shijun for a long time, and made your journey tiring, thank you very much..."

Before he finished speaking, a middle-aged man with good martial arts in the team had already rode his horse, followed by several guards. He looked at Li Tai from a distance and said with a smile: "A certain name, Shi Ning, I have heard a lot about it before. Li Shiyu, who was engaged, was really handsome when I saw him today, no wonder..."

Li Tai didn't dare to push him too hard, he hurriedly got off his horse, stood on the side of the road and bowed to Shi Ning.

When Mrs. Miaoyin heard this, her beautiful face was very moved, but when she heard more than one person saying hello from outside the car, she shook her head and sighed: "Li Lang's family is not a simple and simple military household. When I went to his house, I was in charge of the rules, how could I break my own rules by being rude in front of others!"

After hearing Li Tai's words, He Bawei was silent for a moment, and at the end he just let out a long sigh.

The house slaves could only report to the master in the team. The master didn't look vulgar. He was not intimidated by the name of the imperial army, but rode forward and planned to negotiate in person. Li Taishi, who was standing above, suddenly changed his expression, turned his horse's head and was about to leave.

Knowing that it is not easy for the two of them to maintain their family reputation, and it is also difficult to exert their willpower, they must rely on Zhongshan Gong and other village righteous elders to keep their old love together. For this reason, they will inevitably make some choices against their will.Mr. Zhongshan and I have our own grievances, as long as you two don't get involved in this matter, even if you don't have deep affection for each other, you can live in peace. "

After thinking for a while, Li Tai sighed: "Whether or not a human relationship is congenial depends on fate after all. I dare to climb high, know each other for many years with the old grand master, and have a lot of care and care from the grand master to be able to gain a foothold in Kansai, so my heart I have always been friendly to you two and hope to be harmonious. But in the end, they are just incompatible with each other. Even if the relationship is shallow, there is no need to force it.

At this time, Li Tai outside the car looked at the more than 2000 big light bulbs brought by Shi Ning, and he was a little speechless. A couple who had been together for a long time finally met in Chang'an, but it was blocked by a layer of cloth. When they met, they could only sit by the car while Shi Ning and He Bawei arranged for the team to rest for the night, and handed over the hand stove face cream and other things prepared in advance to the car.

Li Tai greeted the other party first, and then raised his finger to indicate the size of the team: "Isn't this battle a little exaggerated? There are so many strong men in the household?"

Shi Ning was not arrogant, and dismounted before and after approaching, and couldn't help but look Li Tai up and down, and couldn't help but click his tongue, obviously he knew the relationship between Li Tai and Dugu Xin, so he wanted to It is necessary to carefully observe how this kid can enter Dugu's eyes of faith.

He Bawei strode out after getting the servant's report, greeted Li Tai, got on his horse and rushed downhill.Not to be outdone, Li Tai galloped down to the high post together, and rode away towards the mighty team.

The family general nodded after hearing the words, and at the same time, the pathfinders in front of that team had also arrived here, shouting loudly: "Can Langya Gong's family welcome you here?"

After Li Tai heard the words, he shook his head, pointed to his surroundings and said, "I'm a new guard, and I'm spending my free time outside the city to observe the scenery. Mr. Qingshui, you think you came here to welcome your relatives and friends, you might as well set up a tent here for a while to wait."

Although the difference in potential between them can be smoothed out by age, there is still a series of Wuchuan Township Party behind Zhao Gui, which the He Ba brothers couldn't bear to give up. This is also the most precious legacy left to them by their fathers.

Before the change, Li Tai would have nothing to do, Chang'an is not Shangyuan, and his energy here is limited.

But now the newly appointed general of the military guard has a place to use. He took out his token and ordered his family to go to the barracks of the Forbidden Army near the left and quickly pack up a camp. He must ensure that these troops are arranged before dark, and let people Return to Longshou Yuanzhuang and transfer a batch of wine and meat ingredients to send to the soldiers who sent their daughter-in-law to Beijing.

Shi Ning was originally prepared for this, but seeing Li Tai's enthusiastic arrangement and indeed having such ability, he glanced at Mrs. Miaoyin's car, and smiled at his enthusiasm.Based on his relationship with Dugu Xin, he deserves it.

When the lady Miaoyin in the car learned that Li Tai was going to entertain so many people, she felt a little moved by Li Tai's consideration for taking care of her, but she frowned soon: "Uncle Shi Jia accepts it just like that. It's a bit too much. Even if he doesn't go with me, he still wants to go to Beijing.

Li Lang is not like their older officials who have accumulated savings, every bit of expenditure outside of duty is the famine in the coming year, and Aye must make up for it when he comes to Beijing in a few days!It's fine in the past, but now that I'm taking care of you, the things in the house can't be short-lived and don't ask where they are going! "
