Northern Dynasties

Chapter 426 Welcome to the opening of the mansion

Early the next morning, after Li Tai got up, he heard that His Majesty the Emperor had sent an envoy to condolences last night, and sent the food and wine prepared in the previous ban to the Daxingtai tent as a reward.

After learning about this, Li Tai sighed inwardly again. As expected, the fallen phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken. I thought that Yu Wentai's emissary would rely on Weibei's temperament and refused to enter the palace. At most, the emperor would drink alone in the palace to the empty seats. Unexpectedly, the emperor would not even dare to enjoy the food and drink, and brought them here.

But he always has to pay it back when he comes out to play. In the future, Yuwentai's own son will be so miserable. It must be related to his current manipulation of the Western Wei emperor's precepts and deeds.

However, although Yu Wentai treated the emperor so-so, he still treated him very well.

Last night he didn't go to the big tent to have a party. After visiting Li Hu, he chatted with his father-in-law Duguxin for a while and then went to rest in the tent. When he woke up early in the morning, he was informed by Zhang Shinu that when the forbidden food and drink were brought in, Daxingtai specially The waiter brought him some.

Although it is also the generosity of others, this meticulous care is the most precious.If you don't care about it all the time, who cares about what you eat and drink?
Li Tai washed up a bit, and felt in his heart that if Yu Wentai could maintain this attitude towards him all the way, it wouldn't hurt to recognize him as a godfather.

When he walked into the other tent and prepared to eat, he saw that Dugu Xin was already sitting here and had already started to eat. Looking at the rich dishes on the table, he whetted his appetite, and Dugu Xin seemed to be in a good mood, everyone Sitting here in the early morning and drinking by myself.

Just as he was about to say hello here, he felt that the hem of his clothes seemed to be pulled by someone, so he turned to look at Zhang Shinu behind him, but this guy just pouted and winked, and he didn't understand what he was signaling.

"It's also boring."

Duguxin sighed suddenly in his seat, pointed to the food and drink on the table to make a brief evaluation, then stood up, looked at Li Tai seriously and said: "When you enter the palace today, His Majesty will also reward the meritorious warriors, you don't need it during the day Don't drink anymore, so as not to overeat and lose your composure."

Hearing that the father-in-law cared so much for him, Li Tai nodded his head and felt a deep sense of happiness in his heart. It feels so good to be cared for.

After Dugu Xin explained these things, he went straight out of the account, and his own soldiers came in to clean up the leftovers on the case, and brought Li Tai new food and drink, but only now did Zhang Shinu come forward and said in a low voice: " The food and drink on this case were sent by Daxingtai envoys last night, and the servant was thinking that if you can't eat enough to share with the subordinates, you can also taste the taste of the emperor, but you don't want Hanoi Gong..."

Li Tai couldn't help being a little dumbfounded when he heard this, he turned his eyes to this worthless guy, and said with a smile, "I haven't heard Hanoi's official statement, and His Majesty may give you a feast today, so I'm afraid I won't have a chance to enjoy wine and food?"

After hearing this, Zhang Shinu laughed again, already full of anticipation for the next banquet in the palace.

Yesterday, he put up a score to vent his depression, but Yu Wentai didn’t continue to be reluctant today. He ordered to pack up and set off early in the morning, while he himself set off for Chang’an under the guard of his own soldiers. and go.

Even if the emperor is just a puppet, he is still the lord of a country after all, the nominal supreme ruler of this regime, and the supreme person in this power structure.So even if there are differences of opinion, it is necessary to use a roundabout way to achieve the goal.

Therefore, although Gao Huan has the ugliness of chasing the king, and Yu Wentai has the evil of killing the king, they are not as speechless as Gao Cheng's "Dog's Foot Zhen".

This is tantamount to nakedly presenting the nature of a regime that is not worthy of its name and disordered up and down. It is not very harmful, but it means a lot of shit. It is shaking the authority of the identity within the Eastern Wei regime, which has a hundred disadvantages but no benefit.

Pointing at the emperor and scolding the dog's feet, then what are you, a courtier?Cui Jishu dared to beat the emperor under his order, which can be described as loyal and courageous, and he was daring to act. In the end, when he was killed, he hid in the latrine and played with maggots, which can be regarded as the most bitter irony.

After Yu Wentai set off, everyone in the Weibei camp also left one after another, going to Chang'an City in groups.

Gao Zhongmi stayed in the Daxing tent for a banquet last night, and after Li Tai and his party had packed up their luggage, he walked out of the tent rubbing his sleepy eyes, and walked towards Li Tai with a long stretched waist. When he came closer, he didn't speak, but patted Li Tai's shoulder heavily to express his pleasure for Li Tai's disturbance of Jinyang and other things.

Although he and Gao Huan did not constitute any power competition, the hatred between them was deep into the bone marrow, and he was not a big-hearted person. Every time he recalled the past, he couldn't help but feel grief and indignation, and he almost fell ill. Li Tai's trip can be regarded as giving him a big breath of anger.

Although Lao Tzu said that you won the Mangshan War caused by the rebellion in Northern Yuzhou, it does not mean that I will not harm you at all. Li Apan, who returned to the Western Dynasty with me, almost gave you Jinyang lair this time. If you copy it, I will ask you if it is difficult for you!

"By the way, Ah Pan, you wrote to say that this boy Liangbi returned to Beizhou with you, why didn't you see him return with you?"

In addition to being refreshed, Gao Zhongmi also cared a lot about Gao Le, his family nephew. Seeing that there was no such person in Li Tai's team, he couldn't help asking.

"It's like this. Brother Liangbi has been with the prisoners of war in Mangshan for a long time, so he still has to stay in Beizhou first. He can only enter the country after the New Year's Eve when the people are settled properly."

Li Tai replied after hearing the words, in order to stabilize the emotions of those Mangshan prisoners of war as soon as possible, he did not change their control mode hastily.Gao Le has a lot of prestige among them, and staying in northern Shaanxi temporarily can also help coordinate and deal with some problems.

Gao Zhongmi nodded after hearing the words, but his expression was still a little disappointed. He sighed and said: "I still plan to find this kid to interrogate some things. Since I still have something to do, I won't press him. When he is done with his work, Ah Pan, you can come back." Let him enter Beijing quickly!"

Li Tai knew that Gao Zhongmi wanted to ask Gao Le about some family affairs, even though he had no optimistic thoughts in his heart, he could only give up after hearing the facts.

Li Tai couldn't help him much, at most he could help Gao Zhongmi discover the joys in his daily life and enhance his psychological endurance, so that he wouldn't be as hopeless as He Basheng after hearing the bad news.

While the two were talking, Dugu Xin and the others came over together and asked if they were traveling together.

This old man is really a butterfly. After stealing the food and drink given to Li Tai by Daxingtai, he walked around outside the camp, and so many people gathered around him. After seeing Li Tai, they all rushed forward. Congratulations with a smile on your face.Needless to say, it must be Duguxin who publicized the marriage of the two families.

Li Tai clasped his fists in response to everyone's congratulations, and immediately said that he would go back to Beijing with Gao Zhongmi, so he would not go with the crowd, so Dugu Xin and his party left straight away.

Gao Zhongmi was also overjoyed when he learned about this, and on the way home he thought about it and said: "Although it is not that there are better choices based on your current status and status, Apan. What's more, now that the Western Dynasty has simple personnel and personnel, there are not many choices to make.

Guan Dugu Kaifu also loves you very much. After the marriage between the two families is formed, it will definitely support your career more.Although your merits can be praised today, but after all, it is still short of the accumulation of personnel. With such a well-established father-in-law to rely on, it will naturally be more smooth.

Knowing that you have returned from new achievements, there must be a lot of human communication in recent days, and you may not have time to focus on this matter.What's more, you are an inexperienced young man who doesn't know much about wedding etiquette and customs. After I returned to Beijing, I went to visit Prince Feng Yi's mansion, and there is no more suitable person than Princess Feng Yi to arrange and preside over each item..."

He had long regarded Li Tai as his nephew and nephew, so he naturally attached great importance to his marriage. He kept thinking about it along the way, and when he arrived at Weishui Fudu, he had already planned the grand scale of welcoming his relatives.

They haven't set foot on the floating ferry here yet, Li Licheng, who was already waiting at the bridgehead, waved his hands to the entourage of Beijing and China's dandies and shouted: "Li Kai's mansion is coming, sons, hurry up and clean the bridge!"

After the dandies got the order, they all ordered the slaves to rush south along the pontoon bridge while waving their sticks and yelling. Many passers-by who couldn't escape were directly washed off the pontoon bridge.Fortunately, in the cold winter, the water is exhausted and frozen, even if it falls, it will be fine, but it is a bit embarrassing.

From a distance, Li Tai noticed that there were several times more dudes in Beijing and China following behind Li Licheng than before, all of them in fresh clothes and angry horses, domineering, but now they all dismounted one after another, lined up neatly, and clasped their fists at Li Tai He shouted loudly: "Someone is here to congratulate Li Kaifu on his triumphant victory and welcome Li Kaifu back to Beijing!"

This orderly shout made the withered grass by the river tremble. Li Tai was speechless when he saw the scene, but he still raised his hand and waved to everyone. Just as he was about to get off his horse, the young man who was in front of him hurried forward. Holding the bridle and supporting the saddle, he said loudly: "Why don't you open the house and walk, when someone comes to meet you, you will lead the way with the bridle for the opening of the house!"

While speaking, he turned to face the crowd, and triumphantly led Li Tai's mount to the bridge.

Seeing that this kid took the lead, the others immediately laughed a lot, but seeing more pedestrians gathered on the south bank of the pontoon bridge, they were unwilling to let this kid show off by himself, so they had to fight for the bridle on the pontoon bridge, so as to give the crowd in Beijing a sense of them. I also had the illusion of fighting side by side with Li Kaifu.

Li Tai saw that these young men in the middle of the capital who usually have eyes above the top are now fighting for the qualification to lead the horse, and he felt very happy for a moment. He shouted to maintain order and set a distance for them to be drawn. Everyone gets their turn once, and when they are about to reach the south end of the pontoon bridge, they casually hand over their riding whip to the boy who is leading the horse. The boy blushes with excitement, takes the riding whip and puts it in his arms. .
