Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

The first day in Beijing passed like this.

The next day Li Tai got up early again, and caught Li Licheng, who was still drowsy, and asked him to go with Li Xiaoyong to discuss the matter of presiding over the construction of an amusement park on Longshouyuan, and by the way, he took care of the young people who were still sleeping in the hall. Lead them away together.

When Li Licheng heard this, he immediately became interested. He even patted his chest repeatedly to ensure that he would complete the task perfectly. When he informed the young people in the hall of the news, they all cheered and jumped, completely unfazed by yesterday. Under the influence of the night's hangover, I left the mansion with a lot of shouts and went to Longshouyuan to choose a place together.

Seeing these boys looking full of energy, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh that time is the most precious wealth. After the generals had a drink outside the Chengcheng Prefecture, they were like eggplants beaten by frost the next day. They were not able to recover as quickly as these young men.

Time is indeed the most precious wealth. Although some people are unliterary, their lives have just started and there are endless possibilities for the future. However, for some people, no matter how brilliant and outstanding achievements they have made, their lives have come to an end.

After seeing off Li Licheng and the others, Li Tai ignored the greeting cards that were shoved into the house from all over the house. He closed the door and bathed and changed clothes to get rid of the smell of alcohol. Then he changed into a plain robe and ordered his family to arrange gifts. After doing a few things, he led a group of soldiers to leave the house and go to Su Chuo's residence in Jingzhong.

Su Chuo had been quite emaciated and sickly since last year, and fell completely ill this year. He left Taifu and returned to Beijing to recuperate in the middle of the year. However, he was still seriously ill and passed away a month ago.

After Li Tai heard the news, he felt quite sad. Although he had not been with Su Chuo for a short time, it was thanks to Su Chuo's recommendation and care when he first entered the Tai Mansion that he gained more attention and support from Da Xing Tai.

When he returned to the country from Longyou, he directly led his troops to participate in the Xianyang Parade. Then he hurried to Beizhou due to the invasion of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and did not have time to visit Su Chuo. Now, taking advantage of the fact that Su Chuo's funeral was still in the capital and had not returned to his hometown for burial, he quickly came to express his condolences.

When Li Tai came to Su Chuo's house, he saw various mourning objects such as hemp banners, and people kept coming to express their condolences. He did not lead a group of followers to come forward to cause trouble. He dismounted from a distance and led Zhang Shinu alone to the front of his house.

The person in charge of welcoming guests at the door was Su Chuo's younger brother Su Chun. Seeing Li Tai approaching, Su Chun quickly came forward to greet him, clasped his fists and said, "Yesterday I also heard that Li Kaifu returned home with great achievements, but it's just that There was no time to go and congratulate the family because of something else. Li Kaifu returned from an expedition. He thought he was tired, so he rushed to see the deceased before he had time to rest, but he could no longer welcome the deceased with a smile..."

"Su Shangshu is my recommended master, and he has the kindness to meet me. The former is engaged in official duties and cannot come to see me. I don't want to say goodbye forever..."

Seeing Su Chun's sad and proud face, Li Tai couldn't help but feel a sore nose. He briefly exchanged a few words, then went straight to the mourning hall in the house, kowtowed in front of Su Chun's coffin and expressed condolences. After paying homage, he recalled his voice, appearance and smile during his life, and couldn't help but feel... Also burst into tears.

The martial arts Su clan is a large clan in Guanxi, and Su Chuo is one of the most important members of his clan at the moment. Therefore, there are many people from the Su clan mourning inside and outside the mourning hall. Among them, the most conspicuous thing is a child. This child is five or six years old, and his body is still very immature. He is wrapped in coarse linen clothes and holding a hemp staff. His crying has become hoarse, but he still keeps crying. .

This child was Su Chuo's young son Su Wei. Seeing his appearance, Li Tai couldn't help but feel even more sad. Although he knew that funeral ceremonies were unavoidable, he still couldn't help but said: "This young man has lost his favor and has already died." It is unfortunate that the body, bones, and mind are still immature and need to be properly taken care of. Don’t let your emotions go unchecked and lead to destruction due to loss!”

After Su Chun heard the words, he carried Su Wei, who was still crying and wailing, and wiped the tears from his face, and whispered: "Alang, stop your sorrow and come to see Li Kaifu. He is the one you always praise at home. Li Lang!"

"Meet, met Li Kaifu..."

Even an adult can't bear to cry emotionally for a long time, let alone a child. Su Wei opened his mouth several times and tried to make some weak sounds.

Li Tai took the boy from Su Chun's hand, caressed his back and said, "You are virtuous in your hometown, and you are known as a virtuous person in the court. You are setting an example in the world. Although the weather does not allow you to die hastily, you still Those who are able to carry on their ambitions are waiting to grow up, and their life experience cannot be said to be over. Although the relatives are no longer around, they have left behind many human legacy. If you have any problems or difficulties in the future, you can tell them directly. In my place, it must be defined without any hesitation!”

At such a young age, this boy obviously didn't understand the meaning of Li Tai's words, and Li Tai also told Su Chun next to him.

Although the martial arts Su clan's powerful Kansai clan, even if Su Chuo is gone, there are still people in positions of power such as Su Liang who do not need to rely on Li Tai's care.

But whether they need him or not is one thing. Li Tai also used this to express his gratitude to Su Chuo. Moreover, the advice and help he can provide to this boy Su Wei are far beyond what the martial arts Su family can provide.

Li Tai stayed here for a while, and after asking Su Chuo what day he would be buried in his hometown, he saw another guest coming to express condolences, so he said goodbye and left.

It has been more than a month since Su Chuo passed away, and the funeral has been held in Beijing. Most of the relatives and friends who should come to pay condolences have already arrived, mainly to wait for the arrival of Daxantai.

The day after Li Tai went to express his condolences, Yu Wentai also visited his house in person, went straight into the mourning hall, held the coffin and cried non-stop, which moved everyone around him to tears.

Li Tai came to express his condolences again today. Seeing Yu Wentai in such a sad state, he couldn't help but feel deeply moved in his heart.

Although the boss usually likes to put on airs, his sadness at this time is absolutely sincere. Without Su Chuo's help and the construction of various frameworks and foundations, it is unknown whether the grass-roots team of the Western Wei Dynasty can stand firm at the moment.

In particular, Li Tai is now trapped in the fact that he has no advisers to assist him, so he realizes even more the significance of talents like Su Chuo to a regime and a force. He proposed a systematic administrative and official management plan, which not only benefited the Western Wei and Northern Zhou Dynasties, but also existed in the ruling genes of the Sui and Tang empires.

Of course, Yu Wentai may not have been able to foresee this. He is more sad now that with Su Chuo's death, he no longer has a big steward to rely on who can entrust all matters to him. Although Ba Mansion still has many subordinates, no one can be as comprehensive and responsible as Su Chuo, and no one can be trusted by him.

In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, after all relatives and friends went to pay their respects, Su Chuo's coffin also returned home.

Yuwentai led a hundred officials to see him off, and walked all the way to the south bank of the Weishui River. When he saw the car pulling the coffin driving on the pontoon, Yuwentai couldn't help but cry loudly and drank wine and made speeches.
