Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

The dandies welcomed Li Tai and his entourage into the city noisily along the way, and continued to promote Li Tai's mighty achievements to the surrounding passers-by and onlookers.

Some people in the capital know about this, while others don't know much about it, but with these young people's spared no effort in publicity, I'm afraid there won't be many people who don't know about it after today.

Even if some people are not clearly aware of the actual significance and high quality of this meritorious service, when they see these dandy boys who usually ride horses and dogs in the capital and are disgusted by others, they all have a crush on this young man. The handsome general followed him so respectfully, and he immediately left a deep impression on Li Tai.

The group of people walked through the streets and alleys, and everywhere they passed there was chaos. Finally, they finally returned to the gate of Gao Zhongmisitu's mansion, only to see a group of Liufang forbidden troops standing in front of the gate.

When it comes to the most evil forces in the capital, these Liufang Forbidden Army deserve to be the first. Even these dandy boys who are impatient to abide by the customs and disciplines of the village have to avoid them when they see them.

At this time, seeing so many Imperial Guard soldiers standing here, the noisy atmosphere subsided. The dandy boys no longer dared to run forward and backward, but all followed behind Li Tai's mount. If this were on the battlefield, they would all be betraying the boss.

Li Tai and Gao Zhongmi continued to ride their horses forward, and then they saw clearly that it was Yuchi Jiong who was standing among the imperial soldiers.

Yuchi Jiong also lined up the people in front of him, strode forward to greet them, clasped his fists towards the two of them and said, "Gao Situ and Li Kaifu, I'm disturbing you two. Following your Majesty's orders, I went into the mansion to summon Li Kaifu and all the other people. Those who have made meritorious deeds will be rewarded in the palace."

"I'd like to ask Yuchi to come to the house to report, but I have just entered the city and my demeanor is not in order. It may be disrespectful to enter and pay homage like this..."

Li Tai turned over and dismounted. Unexpectedly, the palace summons had been issued long before he entered the capital. He looked at Yuchi Jiong with some embarrassment and said.

After Yuchijiong heard this, he waved his hands and said with a smile: "Boshan, there is no need to be anxious. It is still noon now, so it is not too late to enter the palace in the evening. I also admire Boshan's heroic achievements, but because of his duty, he stayed behind and had no time to go out before. Welcome, so after receiving the order, I rushed to Hebo Mountain in advance. "

"That's the case, then please, Brother Yuchi, please come in and sit for a while, and let me tidy up and see you again."

After Li Tai heard this, he raised his hand to invite Yuchi Jiong into the house, but Yuchi Jiong smiled and waved his hand.

"Daxingtai heard that Boshan you were going to marry a good lady from the household of Da Sima, and he was very happy for you, but he also thought that Boshan still has no fixed place to live in the capital, and the great scholar of the country is in the imperial city. Isn't it depressing that there is no room for it? When I entered the palace today, I asked Your Majesty to transfer the area of ​​​​the Xian residence in front of the ban to Boshan to settle down."

Yuchijiong smiled and said to Li Tai again, and pointed to the people behind him and said: "Now that the mansion has been cleared, everything is ready, and Bo Shan can move in at any time. You and Situ Gongcheng have a deep friendship. But it’s not good to bring so many friends into the house and cause nuisance. Treating guests in your own hall can also make the guests and hosts happy! "

This is the feeling, this is the rhythm! Scroll, you continue to roll!

When Li Tai heard what Yuchi Jiong said, he felt happy. It felt so good to be a sea king and have a circle of licking dogs. My hard work has paid off. I, Li Boshan, finally stood up and took charge today, and my offensive and defensive momentum has changed!

"Well, Uncle, I will go to the new house with all my friends to have a look. Uncle, I will go back to the house to rest first. I will come back later to invite Uncle to the house to serve food."

Yuchijiong had already said this, so he had to express something. In addition, he was also curious about what the new home that Yuwentai gave him would look like, so he said to Gao Zhongmi.

"Let's go, you kids can go play games and have fun on your own. I'm too lazy to bother you, so I'm going to visit my relatives first. There's no need to disturb you again tonight."

After hearing this, Gao Zhongmi waved his hands and said with a smile that he was just preparing some gifts to visit Prince Feng Yi's Mansion to discuss Li Tai's marriage with his princess.

The mansion given by Yu Wentai is located in the northeast of Chang'an City. It is only one street away from the imperial city on the side, but the east side of the mansion reaches to the east gate of the city.

Although Chang'an Imperial City was originally located in the east of the city, one mansion could span the area between the Imperial City and the East Gate, which shows the vast area of ​​​​this mansion.

Even though Li Tai was not very interested in the current industry in Chang'an City, he couldn't help but beam with joy after taking a look at the mansion. The size of this mansion alone was equivalent to that of the Hongnong Yang family. The city is home to more than half of the clans.

He was all smiling here. The other dandies from Beijing who came here were all amazed and envious when they saw this spacious mansion in the heart of the city. Some of them couldn't help but start counting the people living nearby. Each of the neighbors is a person of great power and prestige in the current dynasty.

This mansion has been newly renovated. The walls are tall and thick, and the interior layout is neat and beautiful. Although there are no gorgeous carvings and decorations, it still looks pleasing to the eye.

When Li Tai and his entourage walked into the mansion, there were already more than thirty male and female servants waiting in the front courtyard. According to Yuchijiong, these were all servants given to Li Tai along with the mansion.

Since there were so many young men from Beijing traveling with him, Li Tai was naturally embarrassed to leave everyone and go tour the house by himself. Of course, he couldn't take everyone on a tour together and expose the layout of the furniture to others, so he asked Li Licheng to entertain everyone on his behalf. He took advantage of the interval between bathing and changing clothes to take a look at the area between the central hall and the inner courtyard.

In his impression, Yu Wentai, the boss, has a stingy style and seldom makes any big gifts. The most common way to express his closeness to others is to give away his used second-hand goods. This kind of treatment is not something that ordinary people can get.

But after strolling around the house, Li Tai had to admit that the boss really didn't take things lightly this time and treated him really well.

The overall tone of this mansion is simple and practical. Although the decoration is not luxurious, it is grand and livable. It is definitely not cheap as a wedding room. After all, even Yuwentai's own Daxingtai palace is decorated like this. style.

By the time Li Tai packed up and went out, the main hall was already filled with the noise of feasting. The area of ​​this nave is also very large, and it is more than enough to accommodate hundreds of people for banquets in the hall. It is also divided into different areas for banquets, performances, etc., which is really grand.

Because he had to go to the palace to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor later, Li Tai naturally could not indulge himself with these people. As the host, he went to the table to thank them for coming as guests, and then asked Yuchi to go to the quieter hall to sit down and talk to each other. Check the meritorious figures who will enter the palace later to receive the gift.

Because this series of battles took place in enemy territory, and the imperial court did not send any military governors to follow, the records and distribution of military merits were naturally compiled by Li Tai himself.

He listed more than fifty people with great achievements. Anyway, Li Tai couldn't break through the current upper limit of official titles even if he took all the conclusive achievements such as killing Yan Zixian and Liu Feng in battle, and he currently has no brothers or grandchildren to transfer the title to. The merits were simply shared equally among his subordinates, in order to win them an official title.

"I really envy Boshan for having the opportunity to serve outside and make great achievements. I am currently guarding the residence, and I say that I am worshiping Chenju. I am in a critical position, but in fact... alas, that's all. If I say more, I'm afraid Boshan will They will ridicule me for being greedy. Besides, I have no experience in serving an independent army. If I really get such an opportunity, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to achieve success like Boshan."

When Yuchijiong saw the long list of meritorious deeds handed over by Li Tai, he couldn't help but sigh.

As a general of Suwei, he only has a glamorous appearance. In fact, he is just an eyes and ears arranged by Daxingtai in the court. Things are complicated and difficult to talk about, and he has to work hard, so he has a lot of feelings for Li Tai in his heart. It was full of envy.

Apart from anything else, if nothing else happens, the roster that Li Tai has submitted will be Li Tai's confidant in the future, and it will be the solid foundation for him to stand proudly in the country.

If this momentum continues to develop, they are just disciples under the wings of Daxingtai, and it may not be long before they can compete with him.

Yu Chijiong had a similar defensive mentality before, but he gradually suppressed these thoughts under Da Xingtai's stern warning. But today they all came to mind again, and they were no longer just worries about the future, but now they had an unparalleled feeling about Li Tai's achievements.

"The king's career is not prosperous, and there are many things. A man should wait for his time to show off his power and make contributions. When the time comes, brother Yuchi will also be brave enough to build things. By then, his fame and achievements will surely surpass my present!"

It is now the end of the twelfth year of the Great Unification, 546 AD is about to end, and in the second year of the deposed emperor in 553 AD, Yuchi Jiong will lead an army to conquer Shu in one fell swoop and incorporate this place into the territory of the Western Wei Dynasty. The merits are indeed much greater than Li Tai's harassment of Jinyang City, so Li Tai did not dare to be too arrogant when facing Yuchi Jiong.

As for seizing Yuchi Jiong's credit for conquering Shu, it is not that Li Tai has never thought about it, but this matter also has advantages and disadvantages.

First of all, he couldn't guarantee whether he could do it or not. Secondly, as a non-core member of the Yuwen clan, it is not certain whether Yuwentai will entrust such an important war to his command.

Thirdly, if the conquest of Shu is successful, he will be kept in Sichuan for several years, which coincides with the most violent period of decline in his position at the end of the Western Wei Dynasty. When he comes out again, we still don’t know what the situation will be like!

Therefore, this matter must be viewed dynamically, and it is not advisable to make too firm a plan too early, lest the power of change be lost.
