The Guazhou incident mentioned by Yuwen Hu is also a border problem that has existed for a long time in the Western Wei regime.

Guazhou is far away in Dunhuang, Hexi, the original name of the assassin is Yuan Rong, the king of Dongyang, as early as before the establishment of the Western Wei Dynasty has served as the Guazhou assassin history, after the establishment of the Western Wei regime, Guazhou was also attached to the Western Wei court, Yuan Rong thus became one of the few feudal officials in the Yuan Wei clan who can still hold real power.

The reason why the Western Wei royal family was able to retain a certain degree of influence and control in Longyou Hexi was also because of the existence of such a relationship. However, what really made this Yuan Rong famous to future generations was mainly to vigorously promote the construction of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes during his tenure.

Yuan Rong was in the town for nearly 20 years, and it was not until the eighth year of Datong that he died in Guazhou, and the local tycoons felt his old favor and old feelings, and they were also worried that the imperial court would send personnel to disrupt the local order, so they elected his son Yuan Kang to succeed him. But he didn't expect Yuan Rong's son-in-law Deng Yan to jump out, kill Yuan Kang and seize the position of assassin.

Such a thing happened in the frontier, but because Guazhou was located in a remote area, the Western Wei court and the overlord did not send troops to settle the chaos after weighing it, so they could only admit that Deng Yan served as the assassin of Guazhou, and the matter dragged on for several years.

Now that Deng Yan has fulfilled his wish, if he can keep his own peace and continue to maintain respect for the imperial court, the situation of his separatist side can generally be maintained. After all, after the defeat of the Western Wei Dynasty at Bishan, it really lacked the ability to go on long-distance expeditions.

But after all, he is a thief with a weak heart, and he has been making small moves, disobeying the yang and yin to the court, repeatedly not being called, and communicating with the Tugu in the south of Guazhou, which is a bit of an itch for Yuwentai, so he sent Shen Hui to Hexi to wait for an opportunity to solve Deng Yan.

Shen Hui did not live up to expectations, only took a mere fifty horsemen to arrive in Guazhou, first through verbal testing of the surface to stabilize Deng Yan, but secretly contacted a group of state heroes led by Guazhou chief secretary Ling Hu Quan, captured Deng Yan in one fell swoop and escorted him to Beijing, things can be described as extremely beautiful, not only to solve a hidden danger that has existed for several years, but also to strengthen the united front of the local powerful forces in Guazhou.

Dozens of envoys were dispatched to cleanly solve a stubborn border disease and bring a state that had been out of control back into control, which can certainly be called a great achievement.

However, if this merit is so strong that it is completely difficult to compare with the war in Beizhou, so that the heroes of Hexi were jointly feasted by the king and the ministers, and the heroes of Beizhou were only worthy of drinking cold wind in front of the city gate after entering Beijing, it would never be possible.

After all, Li Tai and they have really eliminated tens of thousands of unfettered Jihu living forces in the northern states, and the seizure of personnel and materials has also directly expanded the power of the overlord.

Although Guazhou was regained, it did not change its remote geographical location, and in the case that the Hexi Corridor as a whole was not completely cleared, it did not have much significance for the growth of the power of the Western Wei regime. Moreover, this incident in Guazhou is not a complete solution, and a bigger storm will arise soon after the beginning of next year.

Seeing that Li Mu couldn't hide his loss and unwillingness, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh, there was such a huge disparity in the treatment of the two sides after returning to Beijing, and the root was estimated to be in the attitude of the emperor's ingots.

Deng Yan, who was captured by Shen Hui and entered Beijing, was not only the criminal minister of the country, but also the murderer of their Yuan clan, no matter who he was instructed to do, he was also considered to be doing things for the royal family, so the emperor gave a super high standard of courtesy, probably also wanted to give others a model, and increase everyone's enthusiasm to serve the imperial court.

In order to prevent Li Mu from being snubbed by this, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and Li Tai himself was a little unsure why Wei Chi Gang had changed his attitude towards him, so he also strongly invited Li Mu to go to the Yuwen Protector's Mansion for a banquet.

Li Mu couldn't shirk it, and he was really depressed, so he no longer refused, and the group went into the city together and went to Yuwenhu's house in the north of the city.

After a banquet, except for Li Mu who drank high because he was in a bad mood, nothing unexpected happened. Yuwen Hu's attitude towards Li Tai was very enthusiastic, and Wei Chi Gang also apologized frequently and persuaded him to drink, and for a while the atmosphere seemed to have returned to the harmony when they first met each other.

In the middle of the banquet, there were forbidden people and Daxingtai's soldiers sent some food and wine, according to the governor of the tent who led the team, Daxingtai knew that he was very happy after returning to Beijing and entering the city, and he had no choice but to participate in the banquet in the forbidden middle and it was inconvenient to leave the table, so he simply asked His Majesty the Emperor to pack his own wine and food dishes into a cage box and send them out of the palace to give food to the two of them.

After listening to these words, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and rolled over, facing the north and thanking the Lord for such meticulous care.

Li Tai saw that Li Mu had lost himself a little in the changes in the two heavens of ice and fire, and he was not good at acting too calm and ordinary, so he also thanked the Lord for his grace.

It's just that when the waiters re-spread those wine and dishes on the eucalyptus, Li Tai always felt a little bad in his heart. In the past, I only saw people who were not particular about eating and grabbing elbows, which was really not a big deal in the west, and even the boss of their overlord had to go to someone else's house to make wine and meat for his henchmen.

But putting aside these gimmicks, he also had to admit that Yu Wentai's move was really heartwarming, if he didn't really care about them, how could he spit out the wine and meat that was about to be eaten in his mouth and give it to them? Zhou Gong spit and fed, so he didn't pick his mouth and feed it to his subordinates!

This night, Li Mu really drank too much of the wine and food packed by Yuwentai, hugged the pillars of Yuwen's house, and cried, only hating that there was no enemy around him at the moment, so that he could throw his head and spill blood for the Lord, and he would not hesitate to dry up all ten lives.

Yuwen Hu originally had some heart-to-heart words to say to Li Tai, but because Li Mu was drunk and crazy, he basically didn't care about other things, so he calmed Li Mu and carried him into the carriage driven by the house slave and sent him away.

Li Tai's back-and-forth Lu Zi was not as emotionally uncontrollable as Li Mu, and after sending Li Mu away, he didn't stay for long, and thanked Yuwen Hu for his hospitality.

Yuwen Hu saw that his hall had already been ruined by Li Mu, so he didn't force him to stay, only grabbed Li Tai's wrist and sent him out of the door, only patted the back of his hand heavily and said: "Life is in the world, it is impermanent, but it is not lost in keeping its own heart, and evil feelings are naturally difficult to disturb." I know that Boshan is arrogant and non-material can be moved, even if there are occasional disappointments, I don't need others to explain and comfort. But I still have to say a little more, is it a blessing for Seon to lose his horse? ”

Li Tai was originally slightly drunk, but when he heard Yuwen Hu say this, and his expression was quite serious, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and hurriedly grabbed Yu Wenwu's wrist and asked in a loud voice: "What does Brother Sabao mean by this?" ”

Yuwen Hu shook his head and waved his hand and didn't want to say more, half-pushed and half-helped Li Taituo on the horse, and then said: "Boshan, don't take the invitation of the long distance lightly recently, if there is nothing important, stay at home, and wait for me to invite you." ”

Before Li Tai could ask again, Yuwen Hu had already returned to his home, so he could only give up and go straight to Gao Zhongmi's Situ Mansion in the city.

He doesn't have a fixed place to live in the city, he doesn't serve in the court, and he doesn't like this dilapidated Chang'an City, anyway, in the future, whether others are on top or his own, they will have to be demolished and rebuilt, and there is no need to bother to buy a house here.

When he came to Situ's mansion, the house slave who stayed behind told Gao Zhongmi that Wang Yuanxin of Guangling had gone to Lishan together, and left a message that he would not enter Beijing until a few days.

Li Tai was not surprised by this, Gao Zhongmi had already mentioned to him that King Guangling was quite interested in his family's industrial products, so he had a close relationship with Gao Zhongmi.

Although he himself is not very happy to be involved with the Yuan family, Guangling Wang Yuanxin is not the kind of lonely clan who is bent on overthrowing the rule of the overlord, otherwise he would not be a member of the Eight Pillars Kingdom, and Gao Zhongmi's association with him is not a taboo.

He also reported to Cousin Cui Lu and other families that he had returned to Beijing, and he went to visit him on a certain day, and then went to bed while he was drunk. Although Yuwen Hu's headless words before made him quite curious, they didn't affect his sleep.

When Li Tai woke up early the next morning, the confessor of the Taiwan government was already waiting in the palace and ordered Daxingtai to summon him.

When Li Tai arrived, many civil and military officials who had come to meet Daxingtai had gathered inside and outside the corridor, and they felt that the atmosphere seemed a little strange. When he walked towards the hall, many people looked at him, and their eyes were not simply looking, revealing a little playful looking. And when he approached, some of the people who had been talking stopped talking.

Feeling this strange atmosphere, Li Tai hurriedly went through some of the things he had done recently in his mind, and saw that there were those who deserved the crowd's respect and seemed to have a somewhat gloating attitude towards him.

If you really want to count them one by one, he has done a lot of things in the past year, but if you want to say that you can feel the people in Beijing, it is nothing more than taking out the prince's East Palace before, or engaging in Zhao Gui before the Baishui Parade, and more Li Tai can't think of it, how the war in Beizhou is not worth looking at by these Chang'an City lords.

What is the attitude of these people towards him, although Li Tai is curious, but he doesn't care much, who will stand under the porch and line up with real weight. He walked straight past the crowd and sat down in a separate hall under the guidance of the confessor, waiting for the summons of the Grand Stage.

"Boshan, you came early, last night's drinking gaffe made you laugh!"

Not long after, Li Mu, who was dressed in a duke's uniform, walked in from outside the door, his steps were still a little staggering, and there was still some weakness and discomfort on his face, and there was a handsome young man who was not weak beside him to support him.

Li Tai hurriedly got up to greet him, but Li Mu first pushed the young man next to him and said with a smile: "I will introduce you to a young class who is temporarily inferior to you, but has surpassed the same stream, this is a good son in my portal, and it is not comparable to the inferior children of your family!" ”

Li Mu said proudly, but the young man blushed a little when he was praised, and hurriedly lowered his head and said to Li Tai: "The former meets, Li Dadu's voice and demeanor are engraved in my heart, and now goodbye, Dadu's demeanor is better than the old!" ”

The young man's name is Li Ji, the son of Li Mu's brother Li Yuan, and he is also the second son-in-law of Daxing Taiyu Wentai.

Li Tai saw that Li Mu's love for this nephew was overflowing, and even bluntly said that his son was inferior, and he couldn't help but smile.

Although Yuwentai's choice of son-in-law has great utilitarian considerations, it has to be said that it is a true dog, and Li Ji in front of him, including Yu Lao Er of the Yu family, can be called a beautiful young man, at least the most outstanding child in his own family.

Li Mu saw that they already knew each other, so he didn't introduce him more, and praised his nephew a few words, and then sat down to discuss with Li Tai about the response when he met Daxingtai later.

"Shiro might as well speak up if he has something."

Li Tai noticed that Li Ji, who was standing beside Li Mu, looked at him frequently with a look of wanting to speak, so he looked at him and said with a smile.

Li Ji was a little embarrassed and cramped when he heard this, and when Li Mu saw this, he patted him on the arm and said: "Li Dadu went to the battle with your uncle before going to the battle and experiencing life and death together, and you have to confess if you have something, so you don't have to worry too much." ”

When Li Ji heard this, he stepped forward, lowered his head and said: "It's not that it's true, it's just that I heard some gossip by chance, and it has something to do with Governor Li." May I ask if the Metropolitan Governor knows Zhao Yongren, the young man in the Zhongshan family, and does he have a grudge with him? Recently, this person has been proclaiming in the government school that the Tao is the Governor of the Metropolis......"

Li Ji told the story intermittently, and some doubts in Li Tai's mind suddenly became clear, and everything that felt strange was explained, it turned out that after he traveled north, Zhao Gui and an old boy made a lot of small moves, and even seemed to rob the son-in-law of the Yuwen family.

After combing the logical context of this matter in his mind a little, Li Tai was not disappointed, but felt a sense of relief. Some hints from Yuwentai before, he felt it, and sometimes he was still worried in his heart that he didn't know how to refuse, but now Zhao Gui fought bravely, which was undoubtedly a thunder for Li Tai.

If this is the case, Li Tai will not be disappointed, but will have to thank Zhao Gui and his son.

But listening to what Li Ji said, things are not only so simple, the stinky boy Zhao Yongren also frequently said outside that he wanted to eat swan meat but his wish failed, although Li Ji described the matter more tactfully, but Li Tai could also imagine that this little cub must have nothing good to say about himself, and he must be extremely ridiculed and slandered, so as to redeem some of the dignity that Zhao Gui lost in the Baishui contest before.

Thinking about it like this, Li Tai's mood suddenly became a little unhappy, although this matter is essentially a win-win situation, but you guys are a little unauthentic if you fucking get cheap and sell well!

At this time, the messenger came to tell them to Daxingtai, and Li Mu was thinking about how to comfort Li Tai, but he saw Li Tai standing up from the seat, and his eyes were already shining with greed.

But when he came to the hall side by side, Li Mu found that Li Tai's eyes were slightly red, his eyes were sad and angry, and the kind of light he had seen before seemed to be just his illusion.
