Northern Dynasties

Chapter 519 Grace over Mount Hua

Outside the city of Huazhou, banners and flags are everywhere, and there are many soldiers. There are left and right tents lined up along the two sides of the road for several miles.

A group of knights galloped here to report the news, and soon all civil and military officials from Daxingtai Yuwentai, including several Zongwangs and courtiers who came specially from Chang'an, came out from behind the tent and waited silently. .

After a while, a team of people and horses appeared on the road, all the soldiers walked solemnly, and a large coffin was carried on a large cart in front of the team.Lying in the coffin is Jihui who died suddenly in Luyang, and his confidantes such as Jizhang are all in bare feet and supporting the coffin.

"My minister, Li Boshan, was ordered by the Lord to go south to Luyang to help the coffin of Duke Changle to return to the country. Now that the soul of the hero has returned, I am here to return."

It was a long journey home, and the original sadness had settled into the memory in his heart. Li Tai, who was dressed in plain robes, saw that Daxingtai was leading his officials to greet him, so he got off his horse and walked out of the formation, walked in and kowtowed and said.

"It's good to come back, come back..."

Yu Wentai's voice was a little choked up, which showed that he was also quite sad about the death of some Hui. He took a few steps forward, bent down and helped Li Tai up, then raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's hard work for Yang Boshan." is you."

While speaking, a young man in a raw hemp suit stumbled forward from behind, it was Jifeng.

This kid was pale and haggard, his eyes were empty, he had lost his former vivacity, his lips were parted slightly, and he was gasping for breath, as if his throat was blocked and he was having difficulty breathing. Only after seeing Li Tai did his eyes lighten up, and he looked up at Li Tai. Li Tai's throat trembled a few times, and then a dry and hoarse voice came out of his mouth: "Brother, I, I hate him... I, I don't have Aye anymore!"

Li Tai was restraining the sadness in his heart, when he heard Ji Feng's cry, tears rolled down from his eyes in an instant, he held Ji Feng in his arms, stroked her shoulders and softly comforted him: "Life and death are destiny, no one can avoid it. Crying as much as you want doesn't hurt a man's strength. Although you have passed away, Bodhidharma is not alone. No matter the road ahead is long or winding, my brother will protect you!"

After hearing this, several phoenix burst out with grief. He had to be supported by Li Tai before he came to the cart carrying his father's coffin, and wept bitterly while supporting the coffin, feeling overwhelmed with grief.Hearing the young man's sad voice, the welcoming crowd couldn't help crying, and a group of people lined the road to escort some Huiling's coffins back to the mansion in the city.

Li Tai still has official duties to finish, so he first sent the battle report compiled by all the battle experiences during the Eastern Expedition to the Taifu Zhitang. The sergeant was led back to the camp and settled down.

After finishing all the official duties, Li Tai took his second brother Li Chao and a few of his cronies and went straight to Shuohui's home.

Although Shuohui has many old friends in the township and party in Kansai, but not many blood relatives, so the imperial court and the Bafu all sent officials and soldiers to help arrange the funeral.

When Li Tai came here, the inside and outside of his mansion were already full of people who came to express their condolences.

As the younger generation that Shuohui favored most, he took the initiative to take on the responsibility of welcoming and entertaining the guests, and Li Ya, who had already been here with Zifeng for many days, also put away her usual stubbornness and put on a stern face with Liu Ang Follow Li Tai in and out, to help Ji Feng, a good brother who has been with him for a long time, share housework chores.

Several Huiben are well-respected, and in the past few years they have been responsible for the reorganization of the Bafu's army together with Li Bi, so now most of the governors of the Bafu's central army are also promoted by him, and now they also come to the door to express their condolences.

After Li Tai entered the mansion, he has been busy entertaining guests, until the evening when the number of guests dwindled, he had time to visit some Hui's wives and daughters in the inner mansion.When Shuo Hui was alive, he often came to visit, but they were no strangers to each other.And my little lady also came to the inner house early to be a companion and comforter, and it was here that the long-lost husband and wife reunited.

Not long after the wedding, the two parted. When the little lady Miaoyin saw her husband again, there was a lot of affection in her eyes, and she wanted to express her endless thoughts, but after all, this was not a suitable place, and all kinds of love words could only be held in her arms for the time being.

Li Tai was staying overnight to help out these few days, but Mrs. Hui also knew that he must be exhausted after a long journey, so she urged him to go home and rest first, and it would be okay to come back tomorrow.

So Li Tai left Li Quji, Zhang Shinu and other staff on standby to help, and returned home with his wife first.After returning home, it is natural to introduce the lady and the second brother Li Chao to each other.

Li Chao knew about his elder brother's marriage, although the sister-in-law looked a little young, she still respectfully greeted her.

But Miaoyin has not yet done a good job in the psychological construction of being a sister-in-law. Seeing this uncle who is much older than herself, she can't help feeling a little nervous.Carefully having a dinner in the hall, after Li Chao retired to rest, the little lady hurriedly turned to Li Taifa and asked: "I was not rude just now, let Fourteenth Lang laugh at me?"

After Li Tai heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and comforted the little lady: "Although the family has a little reputation in the world, the family members in the family also get along normally. The rude one, it must be me. Fourteenth Lang has been quiet and dignified since he was a child. He doesn’t tell people that I am ugly. He still has a scar on the back of his head, which was injured by me when I was young. Compared with me, my wife is gentle It's much more polite, my family can tolerate me, so how can they find fault with my wife!"

Miaoyin clapped her hands and laughed when she heard that Fulang still had such naughty stories. She still had a lot to say, but she thought that Fulang was tired from the long journey and had to go to Changle Gong’s mansion to help tomorrow morning, so she hurriedly ordered her family to prepare Bath soup and other things, let Fulang rest at ease after taking a bath.

When Li Tai undressed and got on the couch after taking a bath, the little lady also blushed and snuggled up to the side. She looked affectionate and affectionate at first, and soon she snuggled into her husband's arms and fell asleep peacefully. In his sleep, the corners of his mouth were covered with sweet smiles.

After several days of busy work, Ji Hui's funeral was over.Li Tai helped him from the beginning to the end, and in this way he bid farewell to the elder who had helped him a lot and allowed him to gain a foothold in this world.

After the funeral, accompanied by the trilogy, several Feng went to live in a hut next to his father's tomb for the funeral, and Li Tai also had to clean up his mood and deal with the remaining matters of the expedition.

In the early morning of this day, Li Tai got up very early, and was about to go to the Taifu after breakfast, but the front hall door actually received a letter of worship from Zhongshan Gong Yuwen Hu and sent it to the hall.

Li Tai hurried out to greet him, but he saw that it was Yu Wenhu's wife Yuanshi and several sons, even the infants, who came to visit together.

Seeing this posture, Li Tai suddenly felt that the visitor was not kind, but it was not good to keep Yu Wenhu's wife and children out, so he could only bite the bullet and invite him in. He was planning to let his wife come forward to receive him, while he left. But before he could speak, Yuan Shi ordered his sons to pay homage to Li Tai.

Li Tai was even more panicked when he saw this, and hurriedly jumped away to accept the gift, but Mrs. Yu Wenhu had already wept and said: "My husband always said in the family that he and Xihe Gong are deeply in love, and they can live and die together. Now they have lost the country and are imprisoned." , I have not heard any news so far, I implore Lord Xihe to take pity on these young and innocent sons, and rescue their father with righteousness..."

Hearing this, Li Tai felt even more dizzy.After he returned, he was busy with Ji Hui's funeral. Although he had heard about Yu Wenhu's experience, he didn't know much about it, but obviously it should not be as serious as his wife and children crying and begging him to be rescued by an outsider.

"Madam, please hurry up. Brother Sa Bao and I really have a deep friendship. Knowing that he is in danger, I will never stand by and do my best. I will try my best to rescue him. Madam He Lao and all the young disciples went to the house and cried."

Yu Wenhu obviously wouldn't be in any danger to his life, but Li Tai wouldn't force himself to take matters into his own hands, and then said, "I was busy with Changle's family affairs a few days ago, and I haven't had time to ask about current affairs. I also need to go to the Taifu to present to the Lord today." If you can prove your innocence and still not lose the trust of the Lord, you will definitely help Brother Sa Bao when you were accused of collaborating with the enemy when you were in Heluo a few days ago."

Yuan Clan didn't know about this, so he was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and subconsciously said: "Grand Xihe has made great achievements, how could he collude with the enemy! If this matter is not in vain, then, then..."

She didn't know whether Li Tai's suspicion of collaborating with the enemy was imposed by her husband in order to fight for power, but after hearing that Li Tai was also in trouble, she felt embarrassed to make another nuisance request, so she could only take her sons and leave .

After sending away the family, Li Tai was able to go to the Taifu, and was soon led into the straight hall.

"Bo Shan is free of courtesy, come and sit near me. Many evil things have disturbed people recently, making people feel sad and uneasy. Only when I see Bo Shan, can I be sincerely happy."

When Yu Wentai saw Li Tai come to visit him, he smiled all over his face, and said to Li Tai quickly.

After Li Tai took his seat, he lowered his head and said, "A few days ago, I met the envoy of the Eastern Bandit privately at Heqiao, please report again..."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Wentai waved his hands again and again and said: "People may not know Boshan, how can I not know? If I don't know, how can I repeatedly assign important tasks to you?"

While speaking, he took off his saber and handed it to Li Tai at the table, and said with a smile: "In the future, who will slander you and slander your innocence, just sue me with this saber!"

Rao is Li Tai's resistance is already extremely high, but the boss is good at doing things, and there are new things every time. Hearing Yu Wentai's words, he was also quite excited for a while, avoiding the table and worshiping with both hands raised above his head, choked up in his mouth Said: "The kindness and righteousness of the Lord that I wear all over my body is higher than that of Huashan! I respectfully wish the Lord that the Lord will enjoy his prime of life forever, so that the minister can repay the kindness and righteousness for a long time!"

After Yu Wentai heard this, he also laughed, but the smile didn't last long, and soon stopped. He looked down at Li Tai and said: "The former captured the two cities of Heyang, thanks to the contribution of Jubo Mountain." But the mediocrity and sinners in the future failed to continue the work, so that the previous work was ruined. Among them, the two biggest disciples are still in the prison cage. After all, they have committed the most serious crimes, and they deserve to live or die. Boshan, you Decide it for me!"

When Li Tai heard this, the gratitude that had just surged in his heart suddenly disappeared. You stinky black otter wanted to save him but didn't want to lose your prestige, and you actually forced me to express his opinion!I forgave them all, what else is there to beep about, right?
The so-called decision by him is of course just polite words, Li Tai can only say after pondering for a while: "I am not in the Criminal Division, even though the Lord is envoys, I dare not go beyond my position and make judgments on my own, I only speak according to the facts. Fanheluo's great advancement is really a rare opportunity, He Liuhun is doomed to die, and his country may still be rebellious, and it is difficult to compare with Hou Jing. It is indeed heartbreaking to live up to the opportunity..."

It's okay if he doesn't say it, but Yuwentai is even more sad when he said it.That's right, He Liuhun can't die again, and Hou Jing, a traitor with such great influence, can't show up frequently. If he misses this opportunity, it's still a matter of whether he will have the next one.

"If the lord made such an inquiry a few days ago, I really don't know how to respond. But because of Changle's official affairs, I feel that the world is impermanent and life and death are fateful. The two lords are indeed guilty in this matter, and it can even be said that death is not a pity. But if As far as Xuanyun is concerned, he survived such a big defeat, and the bandits are so fierce that it is difficult to hurt him, perhaps it is God's will to survive, and there are still future matters."

When Li Tai talked about this, he couldn't help but feel bad in his heart. He wanted to see whether Yu Wentai wanted to protect his nephew or his son. Although he didn't know the price of this choice at the moment, the cause and effect had already been planted.

"Boshan's wonderful theories are always thought-provoking. These two disciples did not fail to think that they really got the virtue of a good life. But the death penalty can be avoided, and the life penalty cannot be escaped..."

Hearing what Yu Wentai said, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh secretly again, sure enough there is always an excuse for what he doesn't want to do, isn't it because they run fast that they don't die?I even hinted to you that it would probably be a disaster if they were left behind.

Although Yu Wentai didn't want to impose capital punishment on Zhao Gui and Yu Wenhu, but he still couldn't let go of his heart, so he ordered his officials and titles to be confiscated, demoted to common people, and then sent Li Taili back to his residence to have a rest, and follow him in the future He went to Beijing to see the emperor himself.
