Northern Dynasties

"Strong but not abusive, kind and repayable, with a spirit of benevolence and courage, Li Renlue has a good son!"

In Xiangyang City, when Yueyang King learned from Cai Dabao that Li Tai was willing to return the formerly occupied territory of the city as a reward for his kindness to his father, he couldn't help smiling and praised Li Tai repeatedly.

The reason why he tolerated so much and eagerly sought peace was also because the loss of Hanbei territory caused him great psychological pressure.

Now all the lost land has been returned, and there is no need for him to send a single soldier to influence the enemy generals with benevolence and righteousness. The soldiers who surrender without fighting are much smarter than those warriors who only know how to be brave and ruthless.If others want to attack him based on this, they will only help him to make a name for himself.

This time, Li Tai not only returned the lost land, but also presented Yueyang King with a beautiful image of being elegant, respectful, and far-reaching, and convincing foreign countries.

This will undoubtedly greatly enhance King Yueyang's personal reputation, which is tantamount to directly increasing King Yueyang's political capital in the political ecology of the Southern Dynasties, which originally valued reputation and appreciation.

Just this point alone, Yueyang King is already very satisfied.

As Li Tai said, as a nobleman of the heavenly family, he does not look up to others for common things in the world, but the opportunity to obtain such political resources is extremely rare, especially with his embarrassing status, it is difficult to obtain fame and qualifications And much bigger than others.

After such an incident, it can be said that as long as he does not make any major mistakes in his tenure as governor of Yongzhou, or is targeted at any cost, the court will generally not consider revoking his position.

After all, today's Li Tai can also be regarded as a famous general in the imperial court. He is young, brave, and has no taboos.The middle school has replaced other people to guard Xiangyang, who dares to say that they can win?Only he, the King of Yueyang, Xiao Xi, can defeat the enemy division with a single word!

Therefore, the gloom in King Yueyang's heart disappeared at this moment, and the shame and irritability were all gone, and when he heard Li Tai expressed his willingness to send troops to help him clean up the powerful clan, he also subconsciously ignored the sinister side of this proposal, He just sighed again: "An extraordinary person has achieved extraordinary things. This Li Boshan surrendered to Kansai in the past, and he was in a poor position. He became famous in just a few years, and it must be because of his upholding of justice and righteousness. I Even though he doesn't use his strength, he respects his people."

Speaking of this, he looked at Cai Dabao and said with a smile: "Li Renlue lives in this town, Cai Canjun is the most friendly and takes care of him a lot. Then Li Boxan is such a kind and righteous person, surely he will not neglect Cai Canjun?"

Cai Dabao didn't hide anything after hearing this, and told how Li Tai planned to repay him.

"This Li Boshan is a true scholar of the country! Yan built a golden platform, and a thousand pieces of gold sold horse bones, all of which were the actions of the ancients who were thirsty for talents. If it weren't for someone with a broad mind and a big plan waiting for Zhang, how could he plan to build high-rise pavilions and pavilions? People? If the only thing that matters in life is two meals in the morning and evening, and the four seasons are cold and warm, why bother to treat people with kindness and visit sages?"

King Yueyang liked to attract talented people and keep his disciples, and he just got rich rewards for it. Hearing this plan, he couldn't help admiring him immediately, and said to Cai Dabao: "Although this matter happened in two It’s a bit of a speech, but it’s a good thing for the Dagong to uphold justice. Xiangyang is mostly rebellious and miserable, living and living to make a living, and urgently needs relief. I’m going to use the wisdom of two people to work together as a staff officer. Cai Canjun, don’t blame me for being troublesome!”

"How dare you dare! Your Majesty appreciates the virtuous and his lover, and he has the style of Meng Chang. It is the luck of the dead in the world to be willing to predict the event!"

After Cai Dabao heard the words, he said quickly, of course he wouldn't take Yueyang King's interest in this matter away, and when he saw that Yueyang King was in a good mood, he asked for instructions again: "Although Governor General Li of the Northern Han Dynasty didn't speak out, he misses his relatives." The emotion is beyond words. Now that we have stopped fighting twice and rebuilt the border, I dare to ask when will I send Li Renlue to the north?"

"The reason why people are able to conspire with each other is because of faith. Since Li Boshan has made a bold promise, how can I care about every detail and refuse to return to his close relatives? So tomorrow, I will ask Cai Canjun to take another trip and send Li Renlue north instead of me." go."

Since the other party is so bold and open-minded, King Yueyang doesn't want to be looked down upon by the other party. Even if he expressed his stance, his face changed soon, and he sighed and said: "Oh, after all, I am still weak! , nor can it be reserved for internal use.

This Li Boshan is majestic, powerful, benevolent, brave, wise, and a gentleman. If he can vote for me, he may not be able to become my Weihu in the coming year.What a pity, what a pity..."

Speaking of this point, King Yueyang is really full of regrets, and it is definitely not a lie.

Although they haven't met each other yet, he already appreciates Li Tai's deeds just from what he knows and sees. Li Tai's background, age, behavior, etc., can be said to be very suitable and impeccable , if possible, he would like to exchange the thousands of guests in the mansion for Li Tai alone as his staff.

But this is destined to be just a thought. Putting aside his status as the grandson of the prince, Li Tai's power and status in the Western Dynasty are not inferior to him.No matter how enthusiastic he is, he knows that it is almost impossible to recruit the other party for his own use.

Out of the importance he attaches to Li Tai, King Yueyang hosted a banquet in the palace to entertain Li Xiao that night. I hope he will not forget the time he lived in Xiangyang after he goes north, so that he can continue to contribute to the harmony and friendship between the two sides. Do your part.

Faced with the warm hospitality of King Yueyang and the envious and jealous compliments from the people in the palace, Li Xiao couldn't help but feel a little at a loss as to what to do.

He knew that these people's attitude towards him was all because of his son who was stationed in Hanbei. Although he took Li Quji to ask and listen to many stories about his son's rise in Kansai these two days, he still felt very unreal.

He didn't know much about Kansai's personnel regulations, and he couldn't accurately judge what level of power and status his son had reached now, but when he saw King Yueyang, the Southern Liang Zongwang and the governor of Yongfu, he praised him a lot , A sense of pride welled up in my heart, and everyone would not refuse to toast, and it didn't take long before I was drunk by the enthusiastic crowd.

Despite a night of hangover, Li Xiao woke up early the next day, packed his bags, and prepared to go north.

People's footsteps and whispers sounded outside the room. Li Xiao pushed the door open and walked out. Apart from a dozen family members who had followed him all the way here, there were also dozens of strong soldiers and maids in the courtyard. He only found out after asking. It is the army of soldiers presented by King Yueyang.

In addition to these soldiers, there are also some large and small cages piled up in the yard. The cages contain everything from daily food utensils to gold and jade decorations, and they are all exquisite and valuable.

"This, this is..."

An official of the royal family came in and said with a smile: "Your Majesty personally made the decree. Although Xiangyang is not the hometown of Li Xueshi, people are not grass and trees, so how can they be ruthless? Li Xueshi's residence here is not just a short day, so I use it here for daily use. Come with the gift to the bachelor, the next year the bachelor will think about it but not see it, and looking at these things can make you feel better."

After Li Xiao heard this, he repeatedly waved his hands and refused. He was not greedy for wealth and enjoyment, and he was afraid of causing his son to be accused of corruption and bribery, so naturally he dared not accept these gifts.But the officials of the palace only said that the king is famous and dared not respond to Li Xiao's refusal, which made the situation a bit stalemate.

At this time, Li Quji, who was standing on the side, walked up to signal the officials of the palace to leave first, and then said to Li Xiao: "Since the enthusiasm of the king here is hard to get rid of, the lord might as well accept the gift. How much gift here, I think I can get it from A Lang." Get more."

After Li Xiao heard the words, he shook his head and said solemnly: "It's hard for Erlang to make meritorious deeds, how can his relatives indulge in destruction! The long embankment collapsed in an ant's nest, why did Gao Shijun not be tolerated in Kanto in the past, it is enough to admonish him now! Destroying gold and crowds pecking at each other, don't cause long-term misfortune for a moment of greed and indulgence!"

He still refused to accept these gifts from people and goods, so he moved those goods and utensils into the room to seal them up, and let those men and women stay in the courtyard, leaving here with only a dozen of his entourage.

Soon King Yueyang also knew Li Xiao's stubbornness. Although he admired Li Xiao's character, these gifts were still to be shown to the Governor of Hanbei, Li Dadu. They also arranged for boats to load these gifted people and goods to accompany them.

Li Xiao stood outside the cabin looking at the north bank of the Han River, feeling so excited that he couldn't sit down at all.Since Fancheng was still under blockade, they could not land through the water gate of Fancheng, so they had to bypass Fancheng and land on the east river embankment.

As the ship passed around Fancheng, the field of vision suddenly opened up. On the river embankment, there were many armored soldiers and flags fluttering. It looked like a majestic and majestic scene. Behind these armored soldiers, there was a majestic banner.

Under the windy banner, there is also a group of majestic guards in armor standing. Among these armored soldiers, their chief general is wearing silver armor and holding a saber in his hand. The room is full of expectations.

Li Xiao, who was standing on the boat, was even more excited at the moment. Regardless of the shaking of the boat, he stood on tiptoe and hoped for the shore. There are no other sights.

As the boat docked slowly, Li Tai strode forward, leaped onto the boat, and supported his father, who was shaking due to the collision with the hull, with both hands.

Li Xiao clasped Li Tai's arm armor tightly with both hands, fixed his eyes on this familiar yet unfamiliar face, opened his mouth and took a few deep breaths, and finally made a sound: "Ah, Apan, you are Apan ? It's my son A Pan... Is this a dream, or is it real?"

Hearing this trembling voice, Li Tai couldn't help but feel his nose sore. He held his father's still trembling arms with his backhand, lowered his head and whispered, "Aye, you're home!"

"Go home, go home! I have a baby, take Ye home..."

When Li Xiao heard this, tears welled up in his eyes, but he was ashamed to cry in front of his son, turned his head to Hanshui, covered his face and sobbed.
