There are not a few people from the Southern Dynasties living in Chang'an today. Some of them were sent to Chang'an as prisoners of war with Emperor Liang Xiao Yi after the city of Jiangling was destroyed. Some of them were previously working in Shannan Daoxingtai and were brought to power when Duke Tang came to power.
As soon as he was incorporated into the court, he took office.
Relatively speaking, the situation of the former was slightly more miserable than that of the latter, because he entered the country as a prisoner of war, and there were also conflicts between the Chinese Foreign Affairs Office and Shannan Province that were in power at the time, and the results of the Battle of Gangneung were not taken seriously.
Even Liang Emperor Xiao Yi was executed shortly after arriving in Chang'an, and most of the other Southern Dynasty people who entered the country were also imprisoned and enslaved. It was not until the Tang Gong entered the court at the beginning of this year that these people were pardoned one after another and were able to
Living a normal life in the village.
Of course, not everyone was treated harshly. Among them, those with special status or special talents were also treated with courtesy. For example, Yin Buhai, a minister in Jiangling, was admitted to the Bafu because of his excellent medical skills.
He served in the army, and even went with the army when Yu Wentai went on an expedition last year.
But generally speaking, the situation of this group of Southern Dynasty people who arrived in Chang'an first was not as easy as that of the later arrivals. The latter group of people who came to Chang'an, such as Wang Bao, Zhou Hongzheng and the Yan brothers, had already arrived in Shannan
Daoxingtai had already assumed official positions. This time they came to Chang'an, not as prisoners to enter the court, but as external officials and internal transfers. After arriving in Chang'an, they had specific job arrangements.
The city of Chang'an is relatively messy and cramped. In order to properly accommodate the daily life of these people from the south, Li Tai temporarily cleared out an original military city in the south of Chang'an as a temporary residence for these people from the south. The people of Chang'an also
It is fitting that this small town is called Wuercheng.
Yao Sengyuan's family, who had just arrived in Chang'an from Shannan, were naturally arranged to live in Wu'er City.
There were dozens of people from the Southern Dynasties who came to Guanzhong from Shannan this time, and many of them brought their families with them. When Li Tai and his party came here, there were many servants from various families in the winding alleys in the city.
After cleaning and tidying up, when they saw Tang Gongyi driving into the city, they all rushed back to the house to report to their master.
So all the family owners came to the street one after another, either bowing deeply or bowing to Tang Gongyi. Li Tai did not intend to come in and disturb others, but when he saw this scene, he got off his horse and responded to the crowd one by one.
And a few words of condolences.
"The residence in Chang'an City follows the old times, and there are many things that are out of place. It is really commendable that you have come to the capital to serve the country. I am living in this small town for the time being. The resettlement is indeed inadequate. Please wait for a while and we will make improvements as soon as possible in the future. Everything about food and daily life
If you have any inconvenience, you can report it to the Jingzhao and Ji County official offices."
Naturally, this military city is not as livable as a well-built mansion. The Jingzhao Mansion followed the orders of Duke Tang and arranged for servants to renovate it. It only met the basic living needs, so Li Tai looked at everyone and looked at it.
I was a little embarrassed and said that I would definitely improve the resettlement conditions one after another.
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help smiling and thanking him repeatedly. If someone else had made this promise, they would inevitably have doubts, but their previous experience in Xingtai, Shannan Road, allowed them to see that Tang Gong's promise was as long as he promised.
, then something will definitely be done.
Li Tai is not just paying lip service, he does have relevant ideas. Not only the people from these parties coming to Beijing, but also his own office and living place must make some adjustments and improvements.
Today, Chang'an City is already dilapidated, and the value of further repair and expansion on this basis is not great. As for Tongzhou City, there are too many traces of the Yuwentai Bafu period, so it is not suitable for Li
Thailand, a new hegemony, has settled in.
Therefore, Li Tai is planning to build a new palace near Shangyuan on the east bank of Luoshui River, which will be used as the office of Xinba Mansion and the residence of his family. He has arranged for people to go to the Wanshou Palace in Shayuan to transfer the buildings of the Wanshou Palace.
The materials were disassembled and moved to the original store for later use.
As for the original Wanshou Palace, it only retained the military industry workshop industry and was used as a material storage base between the Weishui River and Luoshui River.
The original inner part of the Zhongwai Mansion in Tongzhou City was retained for Yuwentai's family to live in, while the outer manor and the supporting military cities were divided into residences of varying sizes for the new Ba Mansion's subordinates to live in.
There are many generals' homes in Tongzhou City. Due to the failure of the Eastern Expedition, many generals' headquarters have been wiped out. These generals will inevitably be punished. In serious cases, they may even need to move to the frontier, and their assets will not be disposed of by officials.
.
So now the Bafu also controls a lot of gardens and mansions in Tongzhou City, which can be used to reward those subordinates who have performed well in the Bafu.
Yao Sengyuan and his son also stood on the street to greet Tang Gong. When they learned that Li Tai was going to visit his home, Yao Sengyuan was even more surprised. He hurriedly welcomed Tang Gong into the house and introduced his family members.
The house assigned to their family has two entrances. It was probably the house of a former commander of the Forbidden Army. Although it was not large in size, it was very warm and well-furnished. At this time, in addition to Yao Sengyuan and his wife and children, there was no one else in Yao's house.
In addition, Yu Jin's sons Yu Shi and Yu Yi are also here.
After the brothers of the Yu family learned that Yao Sengyuan came to Beijing, they came here to give gifts to express their gratitude, which was considered thoughtful. After all, their father, Yu Jin, was assassinated by Li Tai in Handong and fell ill from shame. Thanks to Yao Sengyuan for doing so.
In terms of diagnosis, treatment and recuperation, of course the benefactor must also express his gratitude when he comes to Beijing.
Because Yu Lao Er was Yu Jin's son who was born in Luoyang in his early years, he is already quite old. He is more than ten years older than his younger brother Yu Lao Er. When his father was stranded in Shannan due to illness, Yu Shi was in charge of all household affairs in Guanzhong.
.
Yu Shi was originally appointed as an official in Longyou, but due to family needs, he asked to return to Guanzhong, so he returned to serve in the Forbidden Army. Therefore, he was also affected by the previous civil strife in the Chinese and Foreign Governments. Although he was not the culprit, he was deprived of his official position and is still there today.
He was in vain, but thanks to his father, Yu Jin, he paid him money to avoid being punished, so he was not exiled to another country.
Of course, the reason why Li Tai allowed these Forbidden Army generals involved in the chaos to pay money to atone for their sins was to extract their property to maintain the expenses of the Overlord, and by the way, adjust the personnel structure of the original Overlord's military system to facilitate the advancement of his direct lineage.
In power. It’s hard to say how guilty these people are.
Although the incident of fighting the rebellion had long passed, Yu Shi could not help but feel a little awkward when he saw Duke Tang. He bowed his head and stood silently, not daring to say anything. Even if there were questions and answers, his younger brother Yu Yi would do it for them.
The brothers also saw that Mr. Tang was visiting for business, so he got up and left after sitting there for a short time.
Li Tai did not try to persuade these two people to stay, but when he looked at Yu Shi who was frustrated and a little downcast, he changed his mind and said: "Most of the troubles in the old people's affairs were beyond their own control. Since the imperial court has
This has been decided and punished. In fact, there is no need to grow up as relatives. They have to change their minds and move forward bravely, so as to live up to the expectations of their parents and family members. Today, all matters in the military government still need to be done by the loyal, brave and virtuous. If you consciously no longer do
The old things are decadent, so you can join the government and run for elections."
"Thank you very much. Thank you very much for Duke Tang's encouragement. I will remember it in my heart. After I change my mind, I will come to Rijin and pray to Duke Tang not to give up!"
After hearing this, Yu Shi hurriedly bowed and thanked him again, with a lot of surprise in his expression.
Although his father's return to power after this turmoil was a great blessing for the entire family, he himself was brutally imprisoned. He was still doing nothing in his white body at nearly forty years old. Naturally, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. When he heard that
When Duke Tang intended to lift his imprisonment, he was naturally overjoyed.
After the Yu brothers left, only Yao Sengyuan and his family were left in the hall. Of the two sons of Yao Sengyuan, the eldest son Yao Cha previously served in Jiangdong, but after the Battle of Jiangling, he lost contact with his father.
, his mother lived in seclusion in the countryside, and the second son Yao Zui followed Yao Sengyuan in Jiangling. When Li Tai went to Jiangling to visit famous doctors, he followed his father to the north.
Previously, Li Tai helped to visit Yao Cha and other Yao family members from Jiangdong. When no outsiders were present, the father and son paid homage to Li Tai together and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Tang, for your kindness and protection, which saved a certain family from ruin."
He was able to be reborn in the human world and was not destroyed by disaster."
"You don't need to be polite, Mr. Yao. Good relationships in the world are about helping each other. I am good at power, so I can protect all the virtuous and righteous people. The essence of Mr. Yao's medicine has also been of great benefit to me, and I am very grateful."
Li Tai stood up and helped Yao Sengyuan up, then looked at Yao Cha and said: "Yao Gong used to be deeply worried and unhappy because of the separation of his relatives. Now we are reunited. Although we are far away from home, father and son are of the same mind.
, it is not difficult to establish a family here and pass it on from generation to generation."
Yao Cha was in his twenties and was not very muscular. He looked like a polite Jiangnan scholar. After hearing this, he quickly leaned over and said, "I will definitely remember the teachings of Duke Tang, and I will keep them in mind."
The family members are diligent in official affairs and live up to the kindness of Tang Gong who traveled thousands of miles to seek relief."
After a brief exchange of greetings with the Yao family and his son, Li Taicai said with an embarrassed look on his face: "I came to visit you today, and I really have a ruthless request to ask Mr. Yao. Although the plan is a bit reckless, he is unbearable and I beg Mr. Yao to accept it.
The virtuous lady Yao was invited by my wife to come into the house to help her raise her children, which greatly benefited the family. Although the Han family did not have the splendor of a jiao room, when they met this virtuous and beautiful lady, they also wanted to be kind to Concubine Xiang, and asked Yao Gonghui to do so.
Grant it to be complete.”
"This, this... my little girl has a simple and vulgar nature, so it is a blessing for her to be appreciated and cherished by Duke Tang. I am a member of Duke Tang's family, how dare I arrogantly refuse his favor? I am afraid that a small family in the south of the Yangtze River will not be able to serve a large family.
"
When Yao Sengyuan heard what Li Tai said, he felt mixed emotions. After his family was in ruins, he did not have much say in this issue. Moreover, his daughter was an innocent woman who joined another family, so she could be favored by Duke Tang.
The concubine house is also a relatively good situation. Moreover, considering the current power of Tang Gong, it cannot be treated as an ordinary concubine house.
It's just that the family left their hometown and lived in Guanzhong, and they haven't established a foothold yet. They are somewhat hesitant and uneasy in their hearts. So after thinking for a while, he said: "Now that I am favored, even minor mistakes can be avoided."
If you scold me, just laugh it off. In the future, I may not be as fond of you as I am now. This is all due to your lack of upbringing. It is not the lady’s intention to offend. I beg you, Mr. Tang, to remember your feelings of mercy today and forgive me for your mistakes.
, then Yu and his son are extremely grateful and would like to thank Mr. Tang for his love!"
Having said this, he led his two sons to bow deeply to Li Tai.
