Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

Chapter 223 Trapped as expected

When the bride-to-be team arrived, it was still some time before dusk. Of course, they couldn't pick up the bride and leave immediately. They still had to complete some etiquette procedures, such as making up and applying for makeup.

Yu Wendao was the one who presided over the ceremony for the female family in the hall, and the court also sent officials to supervise and guide the ceremony. But Beizhen's wedding customs are different from Han rituals after all. There is a lot of laughter and laughter inside and outside. Although they are not unrestrained, they don't pay much attention to the restrictions of the ceremony officials.

There is one figure in the crowd who is the busiest, that is Zhao Gui, who is dressed in a bright brocade robe. He goes in and out of the auditorium, giving orders to the people inside and outside with a serious expression, constantly explaining and supervising all kinds of chores. Looking at how busy he is, those who don't know the situation might think that he is the boss of a certain party.

"The ceremony in the hall will take a short time. The groomsmen and groomsmen have been working hard and will go to the other halls to take a rest."

Probably because he really couldn't find anything he needed to explain, Zhao Gui looked at the groomsmen again, stretched out his arms to greet Li Tai with a diligent and enthusiastic face, and even gave Li Tai a smile. There is a kind of person who is in high spirits during happy events. , a generous attitude that has no taboos.

Several other groomsmen were still hesitating whether this was appropriate, but Li Tai was furious when he saw Zhao Gui's pretentious gesture.

Of course, this old boy is not idle and has nothing to do. He is clearly trying his best to hint and show off to the crowd that the next one to come here to welcome the bride will be his family.

But no matter how unhappy Li Tai was, he was just incompetent and furious. He really had such qualifications. He was too lazy to look at Zhao Gui's face when he was a villain, and it was no better than when he was a villain, so he simply went straight to the other hall and sat down.

In the auditorium, Yu Wentai and his eldest son-in-law, Prince Yuan Qin, sat on the banquet. Seeing their eldest son Yu Wenyu coming down to receive his new son-in-law Yu Yi, who came to pay his respects, he couldn't help but sigh: "In the past, we only acted as young men and brave men. Now that I see that the small things in the courtyard have been used as indoor guides, I realize that I am no longer the same as before when I was abandoned in my youth!"

When everyone in the audience heard this, they quickly said that Daxingtai was still young, and the people were willing to follow Daxingtai and continue to fight for the king's cause and unification for a hundred years.

Yu Wentai took a cup and drank carefully, and was very satisfied with his new son-in-law who was respectful and well-behaved. When his eyes fell on his eldest son Yu Wenyu, who was standing at the table, he turned his eyes to Dugu Xin who was at the table. The smile on his face grew wider.

While pointing at his son at the side of the table, he said with a smile to Dugu Xin: "Brother Ruyuan, if I remember correctly, your wife Miaoyin should be quite old. She lived in this household in the past year. Why did you sigh back then?" It's an honor to be matched with the boy.

Taking advantage of this good opportunity, I would like to ask, brother, what do you think of the quality of this material? If this thing can get my wish, brother, after the ceremony is completed, there is no need for brother to go in a hurry. The two families will discuss the matter in a dignified manner. Brother, can you help me discipline him into a good person? "

Many of the guests present here were old friends from Wuchuan. When they heard that Daxingtai took the initiative to invite Duguxin to marry him, they all laughed, clapped and cheered.

But Dugu Xin seemed to be caught off guard by this proposal. He frowned slightly. He hadn't thought about how to respond for a while, but the prince Yuan Qin who was present at the table had already opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Duxing is not overjoyed yet, Da Xing Taiwan wants to have double happiness! Unfortunately, this plan may not come true.

The Duke of Hanoi is a man of worldly charm and a leader in the country, so naturally there are more than one person who would like to be married to him. When he returned to the imperial court last year, His Majesty summoned him without permission and inquired about this matter. The Lord of Hanoi said that he had abandoned him when he was young and was reluctant to part with him at an early age.

In the blink of an eye, Duke Heba was in mourning. Duke Heoi was even more grateful for his old righteousness and gave up his daughter to serve him. If I remember correctly, he is still being treated as a gift? It’s too early to talk about this now! "

As the prince spoke up, and what he said was quite meaningful, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little awkward.

Of course, the most embarrassing thing was Dugu Xin. He hurriedly stood up from the table, saluted the father-in-law and his son-in-law, who were sitting together in the hall but had very different thoughts, and said: "How lucky is it that my little girl has been blessed by the venerable man in the world so often?" Ask! I am really ashamed to boast, but I am more cautious in educating you. I hope that she will practice her husband's virtues diligently and live up to the words of her good friends and advisors. This woman is still in the ceremony and it is inconvenient to talk too much. I forgive you... …”

Yu Wentai didn't take it seriously at all. He picked up the wine glass and handed it to his son in the middle of the banquet. He took it down to the hall and presented it to Dugu Xin. Then he smiled and said, "I made a mistake, and this is how I express my feelings. Brother, please don't mind me. With my brother, The past is profound and the future is even longer, so there is no need to rush for a moment. His Highness the Prince’s words are pertinent and he is greedy and forgets himself. This thing does still need some education. It needs to be educated before it is presented to others. "

As Yuwentai spoke up, the topic stopped there. Zhao Gui stood up and toasted with enthusiasm, breaking the awkward atmosphere, and laughter returned to the hall again.

Especially Dugu Xin, who suddenly became the center of attention before, is now even more restless and confused.

Daxingtai is thoughtful and thoughtful, and everything he says and does must have deep meaning. Of course, he will not get carried away because of temporary joy. Moreover, there are many eyes and ears in the imperial court. Dugu Xin knew that his confrontation with His Majesty the Emperor during the ban last year would not be able to be concealed from Daxingtai.

The reason why he suddenly talked about marriage on such an occasion was obviously to threaten Dugu's confidence.

Last year, a turmoil occurred in the imperial court, which dealt a huge blow to a close family like the Changsun family, and Bafu's control over the imperial court became even stronger. Faced with such a good situation, Daxingtai certainly wanted to further expand the results from the court to the local areas.

Longyou has always been a weak area under the influence of the Bafu, and Duguxin is not an official of the Bafu who needs to obey Daxingtai's orders. His attitude naturally determines the trend of Longyou to a certain extent.

If similar disputes were still lurking under the surface before, Dugu Xin could still guard Longyou calmly despite each other's tolerance and concessions, but now the topic has been brought out a bit, and he needs to express himself. Show some clearer attitudes, otherwise, you may not be able to stay on the right side of Longyou.

There was no shortage of delicacies at today's banquet, but Dugu Xin, who was full of thoughts, felt that the banquet was just like chewing wax. He felt that the auditorium with constant laughter and laughter was very noisy, so he simply stood up and left the auditorium on the grounds that the smell of alcohol was spreading. Standing on the corridor, he slowly exhaled a breath.

His eyes wandered around the front courtyard of the hall, and he immediately called a waiter and asked: "Why are the groomsmen who were here just now missing?"

"Dr. Zhongshan took pity on the young guests for their hard work. Please wait in the hall to rest."

The waiter panicked after hearing this, and hurriedly stepped forward to answer, but there was a murmur in his heart. They were already a little overwhelmed by Zhao Guiyi's blind instructions just now. Could it be that Dugu Xin was also going to make a mistake?

Dugu Xin didn't ask any more questions. He nodded briefly and went to the other hall. When he just arrived at the other hall, he saw Li Taizheng walking out of the hall with his head lowered and behind Hou Mo and Chen Chong. He felt a little strange and stepped forward.

Li Taiben was sitting in the hall drinking wine. He looked up and saw Hou Mo and Chen Chong waving to him. He felt a little strange in his heart, but he still stood up and went forward to greet him.

Hou Mo and Chen Chong led Li Tai to a corner of the other hall, looked at Li Tai and said with a smile: "Li Lang, your power has improved a lot this year. Daxingtai all praises you for your ability to deal with thieves. He is a man who can run wildly." The heroic boy of the desolate thief realm!”

"I really don't dare to be the Duke of Pengcheng. Without the public to declare his power, Boshan would not dare to venture into the dangerous areas of Huhuang."

Li Tai bowed and said after hearing this.

"It's not a ridiculous compliment. If the predecessors could wipe out the thieves, how could there be any meritorious service and fame? I know that you are on duty today, so I won't disturb you for too long. I will make a long story short. If you can do it, you should do it. Me."

Hou Mo and Chen Chong were not good at sociability, and when entrusting people to do things, he said simply: "There is a thief in the Diao Yin Realm, Hu Qu Shuai Liu Kang, who is cunning, evil and annoying, and his subordinates are just within Li Lang's target of defending the city. I am here today I have a job and I have no time to go north. Li Lang, can you kill him for me?"

Li Tai frowned slightly when he heard this. He did not answer directly, but asked: "I would like to ask Duke Pengcheng, why Liu Kang, the Hu chieftain, hated Duke Pengcheng and had to destroy his clan and die..." "

"You don't need to ask more about the reason. You were ordered to guard the border, and you were originally responsible for hunting down the barbarians. Pointing out a place will also increase your achievements. If I feel that the troops under my command are unable to attack and suppress the enemy, I can send a special general to help. you!"

Hou Mo Chen Chong waved his hand to interrupt Li Tai's question and said in a tone that left no room for doubt.

Li Tai frowned even deeper after hearing this. Even if I am here under orders, I am not following your orders or accepting your position. You just asked me to go out and suppress a large Hu tribe without saying anything. This is a bit big. ?

Not to mention that the Liu family of Diaoyin had just donated such a huge sum of money to Luochuan Temple. Even without this relationship, Li Tai still had his own plans for what he should and should not do, and he finally got them together. There is no need for a soldier to be a spearman for others.

"The defense of the northern border is new. We need to be cautious in attack and defense. Please forgive me for not obeying what Duke Pengcheng said."

Feeling unhappy, Li Tai didn't bother to talk anymore and said to Hou Mo and Chen Chong with clasped fists.

When Hou Mo and Chen Chong heard this, he looked displeased. He raised his hand and patted Li Tai on the shoulder, but Li Tai waved his arm away and his face became even more gloomy: "Last year, there was no defense city. How dare you attack the thieves?" Ministry. Now that you have powerful people, you are timid. You just accepted the bribe from the thief..."

When he was talking about this, he heard the footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw Dugu Xin coming towards him. Then he glared at Li Tai again and said coldly: "I will look for you again this day!"

After saying this, he turned around and left. When he passed by Dugu Xin, he bowed slightly and nodded.

Dugu Xin ignored it and went straight to Li Tai. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "Is this a gift of a sword to make you swallow your anger in front of a strong man? I don't know how to use it, so I returned it!"

Li Tai felt a little baffled when he heard Dugu Xin's unkind tone. Look at his new robes, where is there any place to hang a knife? Even if he brought the knife, he would have to kill Hou Mo and Chen Chong in Taifu? You town soldiers are all sick, right?
