Hearing Li Zhihua's tone of entrusting him with family affairs, Li Tai was also quite surprised for a while.

Although he has always thought about it in his heart, if it is true, Li Licheng, a young man in the banquet, should be more qualified to represent the Li family in Longxi. Even if they are from the same Li family, Li Licheng's bloodline is much more noble than him.

This kid is a descendant of Li Chong's lineage, and he is also the nephew of Emperor Yuan Ziyu of Xiaozhuang in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

It is true that Li Tai still remembers that when he accompanied Su Sui to visit Zhou Huida before, he regarded Li Licheng as the representative of the Li family in Longxi at the beginning.

Even Li Tai himself has to admit that when it comes to contributing to the family and promoting the current situation, their family is indeed inferior to others, and there is really nothing to talk about.

However, this Li Licheng is also very sad, he was separated from his family when he was young, and followed his relatives to Chang'an, although his background can be described as noble, but after all, he was too young, and the national fortune of the Western Wei Dynasty was difficult at that time, and survival was the first priority, and no one had the leisure to care about this kid, so that many people did not know that the Li family in Longxi still had this person in Guanxi.

When Li Tai came to Guanxi, although it also coincided with the defeat of Bishan and the situation in the Western Wei Dynasty was also not very optimistic, it was still much better than in the early years of the Great Unification. In addition, he himself dared to speak and dare to work, and he could rub the heat, coupled with He Batsheng and other supporters, he soon became well-known in the overlord, and the limelight had already overshadowed Li Licheng, who had been in the customs for several years.

Therefore, it is better to come early than to come by coincidence, family background only provides a starting point and opportunity for people, but if it is specific to everyone's future, it will inevitably be different due to the situation and their own efforts.

Li Zhihua's words can be described as bitter, and after listening to it, Li Tai only felt that this aunt and grandmother were very good at dealing with people, and they were not stubborn and narrow-minded.

Although he is now the representative of the Li family in Longxi recognized by the masses, and even has a small gold seal awarded by Daxingtai as a certificate, if Li Zhihua is uncomfortable with him because of his blood kinship and seniority, it will also add to the blockage.

Whether a relationship is good or bad depends on each other's attitudes.

Li Zhihua's earnest teachings made Li Tai feel the care and warmth from the family elders, so that he didn't plan to stay in Chang'an, but he still decided to stay and participate.

Although Li Zhihua's attitude made Li Tai feel useful, Li Licheng was a little uncomfortable.

Although they are cousins, they have been separated from their great-grandfathers, and their living environments and experiences are different, so naturally there is no blood relationship between them.

Even if there are some feelings of independence from a foreign land in Kansai and sympathy for the same disease, as Li Tai becomes famous, Li Licheng often hears Shiliu compare the two together, and it is inevitable that there will be a difference between praise and disapproval. There are even some people who don't know him at all, but they only praise Li Tai.

Entertaining Li Tai in Feng Yi's Mansion today, although Li Licheng also greeted him with a smile, it was just out of self-cultivation, and there was still no conflict in his heart.

Especially when he heard Princess Feng Yi's words, the young man's expression was faintly dissatisfied, so he said in the middle of the banquet: "The name of the Metropolitan Governor Yongjian is spread both inside and outside, of course, I have to appreciate the expectations, how dare I complain about the difference between thick and thin aunts." But the arrangements for the funeral of the prince and the princess this time may not be as good as the chief intended. A month ago, he dismissed the brown new officer, and entered the leading office, if there is something in the province to be sent down, it is still necessary to put the public before the private. ”

Hearing Li Licheng say that he was the author, Li Tai couldn't help but look at him twice, and secretly sighed that the help his family brought to people was too great. He used to be appointed as a writer when he was transferred to another official, and because of Su Xuan's promotion, there was still a gap compared to Li Licheng's treatment of being appointed as a man.

"It turns out that filial piety has received this noble ministry, which is really gratifying. So recently, I have been biography for Mrs. Wang, and I think I should be the same as I? ”

Li Tai heard that this kid's mood was a little wrong, but he just felt a little warmth from his aunt and grandmother, and he didn't want to stiffen the relationship with the clansmen, so he gave this kid a little compliment.

Li Licheng felt quite complacent when he heard this, but he didn't get carried away arrogantly, he just waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Boshan, you have been in Taiwan for a long time, I think you don't know the rules and regulations of other provinces. In particular, after the passage of the Cao Pass test, things need to be paid for separately, and they should not be indiscriminately involved. I can lead the work, and it is also the shadow of the family, not that I have my own strong pen, and I am far from having the prestige and ability to lead the work......"

As he spoke, he told the secretary about some personnel regulations, which was naturally not without showing off. After all, in his opinion, Li Tai, a subordinate official of the Taiwan government, will not perform the dynasty, and it is inevitable that he will not be familiar with the specifications of the DPRK. He may be inferior elsewhere, but he can still be said to be a little better in this regard.

Although Li Tai worked as a writer for a period of time and wrote a biography of Zhou Huida, he never came to Chang'an for a day. Therefore, when I saw Li Licheng introduce the nobility of this official position in a serious manner, I was embarrassed to mention my resume again, and his work attitude alone was far less correct than that of others.

Li Zhihua listened to Li Licheng's excuse for official business, and naturally he could feel that this kid was unwilling to be left behind, and after a little thought, he said: "Although I am the eldest among my relatives, I am not the person in charge of the household after all, but I am very happy to see that the few people in the household can be harmonious and strengthen the family reputation. Both of you are young and have a long road ahead, but you are not only a few current matters, but you must remember not to be greedy for your own convenience and alienate your relatives who should have been together for a long time. ”

Li Licheng often goes in and out of Feng Yi's palace, and although he can hear this aunt's gentle tone, her mood is already a little bad, and she is a little cramped for a while, and hurriedly said: "I must remember my aunt's teachings, and participate in the road sacrifice with Brother Boshan, and after I return, I will ask for leave from the provincial government." ”

"There's no need for such trouble, I'll inform the provincial supervisor Lu later, and ask for some convenience."

When Li Tai heard this, he smiled again, not to show off his relationship with his chief, it was just a matter of one sentence, and there was no in Shangshu Province in the imperial court, let alone the Secretary Province. Li Licheng, this kid, has just become an official, and the novelty has not faded, and when he becomes an old oilman, he will learn to touch the fish.

Li Licheng was a little angry and was pretended to be by this guy again, sat up and said with a straight face: "I know that Brother Boshan is friendly with Lu Supervisor, but the official position is orderly, so don't confuse it for personal gain." When I returned, I went to take leave, and I will not be Brother Laoboshan. ”

Seeing that this kid looked like he was going to compete with others, Li Tai didn't bother to say anything, so he gossiped about some family matters with Li Zhihua's mother and son. When it comes to the living conditions of the people living in Kanto, I can't help but sigh a lot.

But in the process of this conversation, Li Licheng suddenly found a blind spot, and glared at the monster and shouted: "It turns out that Boshan, you are actually born in the second year of Yong'an, that is wrong, really wrong!" I was born in the first year of Yong'an, and my teeth are much older than you......

This kid was overjoyed because he was older than Li Tai, but it made both Li Tai and Li Zhihua a little embarrassed. Although they are related by blood, their friendship is really not too intimate, and they are not so stubborn that they can't talk about it in detail, and they even make a preconceived mistake about this basic question of elders and young.

Li Licheng was complacent because he was bigger than Li Tai, and his title was directly changed from Brother Boshan to Apan, Li Tai didn't think there was anything, but he was a little unhappy when he looked stupid and happy, and after sitting for a while, he simply got up and said goodbye.

The overlord also attached great importance to Wang Meng's death, and Daxingtai was still patrolling the river defense and had no time to return, but he still sent his sons and nephews to Chang'an to handle Wang Meng's funeral as soon as possible.

After the funeral specifications were agreed, everything began quickly, and the time soon came to the day before the coffin.

Li Tai has been living in the manor outside the city for fear of being caught by the prince again in the past few days, trying to avoid entering the city, and waiting until the city has sent the road map of the Wang family's funeral and the location of the tent road sacrifice for each family, he will prepare all things, and then lead the crowd straight to the west of Chang'an City.

When the deceased went out of the funeral, his relatives and friends set up tents along the way to express their grief, but due to the special identity of Wang Meng itself, coupled with the impetus of the prince, more than five products in Beijing need to participate in the ceremony, so that the funeral materials are very wasted.

When Li Tai and his entourage came to the outskirts of the western part of the city, they had already set up tents along the way. Some are perfunctory, others are ornately decorated, and although they are rich and frugal, there are still some potential rules, the most direct of which is the location of the tabernacle on each road.

There is a large tent on each side of the city gate, on the left is set up by the royal family, after all, in addition to the relationship between the monarch and the minister, they are also in-laws, and on the right is set up by the Yuwen family.

This time, Yuwen Hu, who came to Beijing to preside over the funeral, is not a low-key person, and the tent of this road sacrifice is set up higher than the city gate, which directly contrasts the tent of the royal road sacrifice on the opposite side.

Li Tai couldn't help but be happy when he saw this scene, the wicked have to be grinded by the wicked, the prince behaved at the funeral of the royal family a few days ago, but when Yuwen entered the capital, he was completely dumbfounded, and he didn't dare to do anything explicit.

The tents of the various roads are also arranged along this path to the outside of the city, and the distance of their positions also reflects the closeness and strength of each other, especially the latter.

Since the imperial court did not stipulate the order of each family, it was naturally divided on a first-come, first-served basis. Of course, if you really want to be awesome, you don't have to care about the order, as long as you have that strength, it's nothing to lift the tent of the Yuan family and the Yuwen family.

Li Tai was naturally too lazy to fight for this kind of thing, and when he came to the outskirts of the city, he saw that both sides of the road near the city gate had been occupied, so he looked for a vacant space farther away, and by the way, he looked for Li Licheng, who had agreed to come here to meet.

But he hadn't gone far here, and he heard a noise in his ears, and when he turned his head to look, he saw people fighting for the field. He was only watching the excitement here, but unexpectedly, a sad and aggrieved voice came from the crowd fighting: "Ah Pan, you came just in time, my family tent was taken away......"
