Early the next morning, when Li Tai got up, he heard that His Majesty the Emperor had sent envoys to express condolences last night, and sent the food and wine prepared in the ban to the Daxingtai camp as a reward.
After learning about this, Li Tai sighed secretly in his heart. Sure enough, a fallen phoenix is worse than a chicken. He thought that Yu Wentai was stubborn and refused to enter the palace in Weibei. At most, the emperor himself drank alone in the palace to the empty seats, but he didn't
Unexpectedly, the emperor did not even dare to enjoy these wines and food before bringing them to him.
But you always have to pay back when you come out to fool around. The reason why Yuwentai's own son will be so miserable in the future must be related to his words and deeds in various manipulations to manipulate the emperor of the Western Wei Dynasty.
However, although Yu Wentai was careless towards the emperor, he was still very kind to him.
He did not go to the big tent for a party last night. After visiting Li Hu, he chatted with his father-in-law Duguxin for a while and then went to the tent to rest. As a result, when he woke up in the morning, he was told by Zhang Shinu that when the forbidden food and wine were brought in, Daxingtai specially
The waiter brought him some.
Although it is generous to others, this meticulous care is the most precious. If you don't care about you all the time, who will care about how you eat and drink?
While Li Tai washed up for a while, he felt in his heart that if Yu Wentai could maintain this attitude towards him, it would be okay to accept him as his godfather.
When he walked into the other tent to prepare for the meal, he saw Dugu Xin already sitting here and starting to eat. Looking at the rich dishes on the table made people's appetite whet their appetites, and Dugu Xin seemed to be in a good mood, too.
I sat here early in the morning and drank by myself.
Just as he was about to say hello, he felt as if the corner of his clothes was being pulled by someone, so he turned back to look at Zhang Shinu behind him, but this guy just pursed his lips and winked, and couldn't figure out what he was signaling.
"It's also very boring."
Dugu Xin suddenly sighed in his seat, pointed at the food and wine on the table and made a brief comment. He then stood up, looked at Li Tai and said seriously: "When you enter the palace today, your majesty will probably give some gifts to the meritorious servicemen. You don't want them during the day."
Don't drink anymore, lest you overeat and lose your manners."
Hearing that his father-in-law cared so much about him, Li Tai nodded in agreement while feeling a deep sense of happiness in his heart. It felt so good to be cared for.
After Dugu Xin explained these things, he went straight out of the tent. His own soldiers came to collect the leftover wine on the table and brought new food to Li Tai. At this moment, Zhang Shinu came forward and said in a loud voice: "
The wine and food on this case were sent by Daxingtai last night. The servants were planning to share the husband's food with the servants so that he could have a taste of what he served the emperor, but he didn't want Mr. Hanoi to..."
When Li Tai heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little dumb. He turned to look at this useless guy and scolded him with a smile: "I haven't heard from Hanoi. Your Majesty may have given you a meal when you enter the court today. Are you afraid that you won't have the opportunity to enjoy wine and food?"
After Zhang Shinu heard this, he laughed again, and he was already full of expectations for the next banquet in the palace.
Yesterday, he set out a plan to vent his depression. Today, Yu Wentai did not continue to be stubborn. He ordered to get ready and set off early in the morning, and he himself set off for Chang'an under the guard of his own soldiers.
And go.
Even if the emperor is just a puppet, he is still the head of a country, the nominal supreme ruler of this regime, and the supreme person in this power structure. Therefore, even if there are any differences and dissent, they need to be reached in a roundabout way.
Purpose.
Therefore, although Gao Huan has the ugliness of chasing the king, and Yu Wentai has the evil of regicide, they are not as speechless as Gao Cheng's "dog-footed me".
This is tantamount to nakedly presenting the essence of a regime that does not live up to its name and is disordered. It is not harmful, but the meaning is very fucked up. It is shaking the identity and authority within the Eastern Wei regime, which has many disadvantages and no advantages.
If you point at the emperor and scold him, what do you mean by a minister? Cui Jishu dared to beat the emperor on his orders. He was loyal and courageous, and he dared to take responsibility. In the end, when he was killed, he hid in the latrine and played with maggots.
This is the most bitter irony about this.
After Yuwentai set off, everyone in the Weibei camp also set off one after another, heading to Chang'an City in groups.
Gao Zhongmi stayed in the Dahang tent for a banquet last night. After Li Tai and his entourage had packed their bags, he walked out of the tent, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and stretched his long body towards Li Tai.
He didn't speak when he came closer, but patted Li Tai heavily on the shoulder to express his pleasure at Li Tai's disturbing Jinyang and other things.
Although there was no competition for power between him and Gao Huan, the hatred between them was deep in their bones. He was not a man of great magnanimity. Whenever he recalled the past, he could not help but be filled with grief and anger, and he was almost sick.
Li Tai's trip made him feel very angry.
Although you won the Mangshan War caused by my rebellion in Northern Yuzhou, it does not mean that I have done no harm to you. Li Apan, who returned to the Western Dynasty with me, almost killed your old nest in Jinyang this time.
I copied it and asked you if it was uncomfortable!
"By the way, Ah Pan, you wrote to me that this guy Liangbi has returned to Beizhou with you. Why don't you see him returning with you?"
In addition to feeling happy, Gao Zhongmi was also very concerned about Gao Le, his nephew. Seeing that there was no such person in Li Tai's team, he couldn't help but ask.
"It's like this. Brother Liangbi has been living with the Mangshan prisoners of war for a long time, so he has to stay in Beizhou first. He has to settle the people after the New Year before he can enter the country."
After hearing this, Li Tai replied that in order to stabilize the mood of the Mangshan prisoners of war as soon as possible, he did not rashly change their governance model. Gao Le had great prestige among them, and he could help coordinate and deal with some problems by staying in northern Shaanxi temporarily.
After hearing this, Gao Zhongmi nodded, but his expression was still a little disappointed, and he sighed: "I also plan to ask this guy to interrogate some things. Since I still have something to do, I won't rush him. After he is done with his work, Apan, you can go back
Let him enter Beijing quickly!"
Li Tai knew that Gao Zhongmi wanted to ask Gao Le about some family matters. Although he had long since given up any optimistic thoughts in his heart, he could only give up completely after hearing the facts.
Li Tai couldn't do anything to help him. At most, he could help Gao Zhongmi explore the fun in daily life and enhance his mental endurance, so that he wouldn't become as heartbroken as He Basheng after hearing the bad news.
While the two were talking, Dugu Xin came over with everyone and asked if they were traveling together.
This father-in-law is really a graceful butterfly. After stealing the food and wine given to Li Tai by Daxingtai, he walked around the camp and so many people gathered around him. When they saw Li Tai, they all came forward.
He clasped his fists in congratulations with a smile on his face. Needless to say, it was definitely Duguxin who publicized the marriage between the two families.
Li Tai responded to everyone's congratulations with clasped fists, and even said that he was returning to Beijing with Gao Zhongmi and would not go with the others, so Dugu Xin and his party left directly.
When Gao Zhongmi learned about this, he was overjoyed. On his way back, he thought about it and said, "Although it's not that you don't have better choices based on your current fame and fame. But since the matter of the court has been settled, there is no point in thinking about other options."
.What’s more, the Western Dynasty is already simple in personnel and there are not many choices to make.
Guan Dugu Kaifu also loves you very much. After the two families are married, they will definitely support your career more. Although you have already made achievements that can be praised, after all, you are still short of the accumulation of personnel. With such a person
If you rely on your father-in-law who has rich relationships with you, things will naturally go more smoothly.
I know that you have returned from a new career, and you must have been socializing a lot recently, so you may not have time to focus on this matter. Besides, you are an inexperienced young man who doesn’t know many wedding etiquette and customs. After returning to the capital, I went to visit Prince Feng Yi’s palace and arranged to host the wedding ceremony.
There is no more suitable candidate for this matter than Princess Feng Yi..."
He had long regarded Li Tai as his biological nephew, so he naturally attached great importance to his marriage. He kept talking about it along the way, and when he arrived at the floating ferry on the Weishui River, he had already planned the grand scale of the wedding ceremony.
Before they even set foot on the ferry, Li Licheng, who was already waiting at the bridgehead, immediately waved to a group of dandy boys from Beijing who were following them and shouted: "Li Kaifu is coming, please clean the bridge quickly!"
After receiving the order, the dandies ordered the slaves to wave their sticks and shout, then rushed southward along the pontoon bridge. Many pedestrians who could not escape were rushed directly off the pontoon bridge. Fortunately, it is now cold winter and the water is frozen.
Even if it falls, it won't be serious, just a little embarrassing.
From a distance, Li Tai noticed that the number of dandies in Beijing following Li Licheng were several times greater than before. They were all wearing bright clothes and angry horses, and they were domineering. But now they all dismounted, lined up neatly, and all clasped their fists towards Li Tai.
He yelled: "I am here to congratulate Li Kaifu on his great achievements and triumph, and to welcome Li Kaifu back to the capital!"
This uniform shouting made the dead grass by the river tremble. Li Tai looked at the scene and was speechless for a moment. He still raised his hand to wave to everyone. Just as he was about to turn over and dismount, a young man in front rushed forward in a hurry.
Holding the bridle and supporting the saddle, he said loudly: "Why don't you bother Kaifu to walk? Someone came to greet him, just to hold the bridle for Kaifu!"
As he spoke, he turned to face everyone, and proudly led Li Tai's horse to the bridge.
When the others saw that this boy had taken the lead, they immediately laughed and laughed. However, seeing more pedestrians gathering on the south bank of the pontoon bridge, they were not willing to let this boy steal the limelight. They fought to hold the bridle on the pontoon bridge to give the people in Beijing a chance to win.
I also had the illusion of fighting alongside Li Kaifu.
Li Tai saw that these usually high-minded young people in the capital were now fighting for the right to lead horses for him. He felt quite happy for a while. He shouted to maintain order and set the pulling distance for them. They must be allowed to lead horses.
Everyone had a turn, and when they were about to arrive at the south end of the pontoon, they handed their riding whip to the young man who was holding the horse. The young man suddenly flushed with excitement, took the riding whip and went straight into his arms.
