After entering the city, Miaoyin Lady temporarily lived in the former residence of He Batsheng, if it was elsewhere, Li Tai still dared to play some night party beauty, but under the noses of the brothers of the He Batting family, these little emotions are still avoided.

Shi Ning returned to Beijing to report on his work, and after meeting Daxingtai, he also had a series of old communication arrangements, but he didn't need Li Tai to accompany him all day.

Li Tai is not good at acting too idle, after all, he still has a layer of promotion buff on his body, as long as he waits until the imperial court ceremonial secretary completes the acceptance of the southern suburbs, the official will inevitably go to another level.

Li Tai is not greedy, looking forward to any step in place, he feels that he has obtained the third division of Yitong this year, and the title is similar to being promoted to the marquis of Sanhou, of course, it is better to be higher, but at his age it is a little conspicuous and reckless.

On the construction site in the southern suburbs, Li Tai also went to see a few times, in his modern eyes, it was somewhat boring, nothing more than choosing an open area, stacking and ramming a large circular mound with fine soil, and even the road hardening was not much done.

Even if Li Tai didn't know the specific specifications and styles of the Heavenly Mound, he could see that this project was simple and perfunctory, but it matched the current authority of the Western Wei Emperor.

The main work of the mound has been completed, and only some details such as stone and wood decoration are still being completed. said that it was rushing to work, but in fact, it was more like grinding foreign workers, that is, dragging the construction period and refusing to deliver and accept.

To put it more bluntly, Yuwentai just doesn't want this mound to be put into use this year. As early as the issue of building a mound, it has been delayed until the winter solstice before it was decided, and it was also to miss the winter solstice, which is the day of worship.

However, no matter how much this matter is delayed, at most it will be delayed until the eve of the January Dynasty, and if you really want to cross the New Year, everyone's faces will not look good.

In addition to grinding foreign workers together on the construction site in the southern suburbs, Li Tai has recently felt more and more that the skin of the Liufang Forbidden Army is really easy to use, no matter how effective it is now, as long as he wears this military uniform, it will be mixed up in this Jingzhao realm.

For example, although Li Hu is also the elder of Wuchuan, he has not directly led the army to kill for several years, and he has not been in charge of Fang Mu for a long time, but he is still extremely hard in today's Beizhen group. In addition to his own power and qualifications, it is also because Li Hu has a high prestige and influence in the forbidden army group.

At the beginning of Xiaowu's westward migration, there were not too many people from Liufang who followed the pass, and Guanzhong was already the base camp of the Wuchuan Army. Even the emperor was inevitably deposed or even killed, and if they wanted to gain a foothold, they would inevitably have to bow down, so a considerable number of generals of the forbidden army were willing to surrender themselves to Li Hu's protégés.

Li Tai didn't plan to set up any mountains in the forbidden army, the current Western Wei forbidden army itself is stinky and shallow, and when the government military system is formed and the government soldiers participate in the defense on a large scale, these people of the six squares must be abandoned.

But for now, the skin of the forbidden army is still easy to use around Chang'an. In line with the principle of leaving a bubble wherever he goes, Li Tai also planned to set up an idle chess piece within the forbidden army, not to do anything, but to borrow the residual power of the forbidden army, so as to make it more convenient to act around Jingzhao.

He is now an official and a general of the armed guards, and the only generals in the entire forbidden army system are the leading generals and the generals of the left and right guards, and after a number of favors were dismissed from the town, the leading generals have been idle, which is equivalent to the lack of a first-level superior leader, which can be said to be a well-deserved high-level leader of the forbidden army, and it is relatively simple to make some small moves.

So a few days ago, he had already taken advantage of his position to arrange many of his subordinates into the forbidden army as grassroots military attachés. Although it is quite enjoyable to eat empty salary, he has to face a more embarrassing problem next, that is, if he is no longer in the Praetorian Guard system, what will happen to these parts?

Once you join the military, it is difficult to get out of the country, and one bad thing is that it is a military household for generations, and it is difficult for children and grandchildren to get rid of this fate. If there is a boss in the army to take care of it, it is fine, but if there is no backer, then it will become a real slave soldier and a lowly household, and he has to bear all the hardships and errands, and once he escapes, it is a big crime to cut off his head.

Li Tai arranged for his troops to join the forbidden army, it was to get the wool of the imperial court and to fake the tiger's power by the way, but he didn't really send soldiers and labor to the imperial court, of course, he had to find a way to protect his own people, at least he had to be a middle-level forbidden army general.

But it's nothing for him to arrange some grassroots military positions in this official position, after all, the other soldiers of the forbidden army have their own factions, and others are too lazy to be soldiers under his command to obey orders, and they are free to toss within their authority. However, the appointment and dismissal of middle-level generals is beyond his authority as a military general, and he must at least report to the left and right guard mansions.

Li Tai, the general of the Wuwei, is under the jurisdiction of the general of the right guard, and the general of the right guard is not a stranger, but a lieutenant Chi Yuan. There was some unhappiness between each other, and this time when Wei Chi Gang entered Beijing, his attitude towards him has changed a lot, but whether Wei Chi Gang is willing to cooperate with him, Li Tai is also a little unsure.

After weighing it, he still decided to go to the Wei Mansion to visit Wei Chi Yuan, it was best to get things done, and maybe he could think of some other way. It must be known that the old father-in-law Dugu Xin and several Hui have served as the leading generals of the supreme commander of the forbidden army, and Li Hu can also try.

Even if it is not good, you can also use the Yuan Yue Dynasty to reward the superintendent for the work of building a mound to implore the imperial court to transfer the generals, and the living will not be suffocated by urine, and after a few years in Kansai, Li Tai has many choices when he encounters problems.

The Wei Mansion is located on the east side of the imperial city near the East Palace, and Wei Chi Hui not only served as the general of the right guard, but also led the left guard of the crown prince.

In today's Western Wei regime, such a sensitive position is tailor-made for people like them, no matter how wild Li Tai's ideas are and how much they are appreciated by Yuwentai, he can only stay away from it, and he can't even think about it.

Different from the messy and scattered barracks of the Yasi in other places, there is a neat and orderly inside and outside the Right Guard Military Mansion, which shows that Wei Chi is not only on nepotism, but also has the ability to manage affairs.

After learning of Li Tai's arrival through the personal soldiers, Wei Chi Hui went out from the straight hall to greet him, and the enthusiastic attitude made Li Tai a little embarrassed. His subordinate was supposed to worship the official first, but it was the first time he came to the Wei Mansion since he took office, and it was not for official business, so he was a little ashamed to think about it.

Although Wei Chi Hui had a warm attitude, they really lacked much common topic with each other, so after a few words of unnutritious greetings, Li Tai directly explained his intentions.

After hearing this, Wei Chi laughed and said: "Boshan and I are both in the battalion, and I also understand that only by sending henchmen can the voice be unblocked. You have not been in office for a long time to serve the country, and I welcome it too late, but within the scope of my duties, I will do my best to help you make this happen! ”

Hearing Wei Chi Yu speak so well, Li Tai breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but be suspicious, and only felt that the change in their brother's attitude was a little strange.

Wei Chi Yu didn't just talk, after making his attitude clear to Li Tai, he ordered the government officials to sort out the list of officials who were short of personnel in the Wei Mansion and send them here.

Li Tai took the list and took a look, good guy, even the general of the military guard of his level is still missing, by the way, it seems that there are two generals in the right guard, but the other one besides Wei Chi Yuan has never heard of it, if it is also missing......

Even if he is missing, he can't arrange it, he himself is not at the same level enough, not to mention arranging the generals of the department, he just sighed about Yuwentai's attitude towards the selection of the Janissary generals and the indiscriminate attitude of the Janissary General.

Wei Chi Yu cooperated so enthusiastically, Li Tai also took out the generals who needed to be arranged, and he had to see what level he was at now to arrange a suitable position.

What he wants to arrange is his family Li Xiaoyong, since the land on Longshouyuan was encircled, Li Xiaoyong has been staying here to run the manor, and has not followed Li Tai to work.

However, Li Tai did not completely leave it idle, but still arranged for him to be a subordinate of the stone fort and a military master, and gave him the title of general after several meritorious speeches. As for which one it is, if you don't pursue it, then you don't have it, and if you have to pursue it, then you have it.

Although Wei Chi Yu patted his chest and promised, he was also worried that Li Taishi would open his mouth, but he was relieved to see that it was only a seventh-rank official rank, and after a little weighing, he said again: "The position of redundant servant has been lacking for a long time, Boshan will be able to lead your family into the house tomorrow, and after the bow and horse skill examination is completed, you can be awarded an official before the year." ”

Redundant servant shooting is a six-grade official position, and Hu Ben Zhonglang General, Yu Lin Jian together called the three generals, is an important forbidden army middle-level general, commanding Zhizhai, guarding the palace, if you want to launch a palace coup, it can even be said to be the backbone of the success or failure, but now it can be assigned at will, or because the structure of the Western Wei Dynasty has changed greatly compared with the Northern Wei Dynasty, but it also means that the imperial power of the forbidden army has declined to the extreme.

Li Xiaoyong's official rank is only seven, but his position is awarded six, which can be described as a real high match. However, Li Tai did not want to be so conspicuous, and the official position of redundant servant did not meet his needs, so after a little weighing, he chose the official position of a crossbow general.

General Ji Crossbow is also a seven-rank official, which is consistent with Li Xiaoyong's rank, and does not need to directly participate in the guards, but only needs to lead the Praetorian Guard battalion to accompany him when he travels.

The emperor can't go out a few times a year, and the crossbow battalion led by General Jiwu has a lot of room to operate, and he can pack up all his own troops that are included in the Praetorian Guard. Li Tai didn't want to infiltrate the Praetorian Guard's core, this relatively marginal position was the best choice, as long as he didn't strictly inspect and parade, it would not hurt to store three or five thousand armor in a crossbow camp.

Before the redundant servant shooting, Wei Chi Hui only said that it could be done a year ago, which showed that it was not something that he could decide alone, but when he heard that Li Tai's request was just a seven-rank crossbow general, Wei Chi Hui wrote a notice and handed it to Li Tai in the court.

Things are done so smoothly and smoothly, Li Tai couldn't react for a while, looking at the confession in his hand, he only felt incredible, and carefully glanced at Wei Chi Er, and couldn't help but drum in his heart, you guy won't see me as your cousin-in-law hopeless, and plan to be my father-in-law, right?

Wei Chiyu's granddaughters are all very beautiful, Li Tai knows, but he doesn't know much whether the girls are big or small, beautiful or ugly, after all, the relationship was not good enough to go in and out of the inner hall without taboo.

Although this idea is a bit absurd, Li Tai can't think of more possibilities for a while, why did the brothers invariably improve their attitude towards him?

Talking about the relationship background, Wei Chi Hui is not only Yu Wentai's nephew, but also the son-in-law of Yuan Baoju, and the two generations of Emperor Wen are all very related, so there is no need to burn Li Tai's cold stove.

Li Tai himself doesn't know whether he will be mixed with Emperor Wen in the future, even if he mixes to that level, he doesn't plan to be Emperor Wen, Guan Long started with martial arts, and the nickname "Emperor Wen" will hinder the society, even if it is as strong as Emperor Taizong Wen Li Shimin, it will inevitably be usurped by Wu Zetian.

It's a bit far away to talk about this, and the key is that Li Tai really can't think of anything that the brothers of the Wei Chi family can covet except for themselves.

Putting all these aside, Wei Chi Hui finally did himself a favor, and Li Tai couldn't just pat his ass and leave, so he hurriedly expressed his gratitude and invited Wei Chi Hui to come as a guest in the future, so that he could thank him for his hospitality.

"It's just a trivial matter, Boshan, you don't have to worry about it. Because of some sentimental disputes before, their friendship with each other was estranged. This time, you are loyal and diligent in your duties, recommended for the country, and you can negotiate between public and private, and you can't talk about who you are courteous to. ”

After hearing this, Wei Chi smiled and waved his hand and said, not because of this, he felt that Li Tai owed him a big favor.

After Li Tai heard this, he didn't say anything more, and planned to prepare some gifts to send to Wei Chi's house after returning home, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, with such a good son-in-law to take care of the home and nursing home, it is really hell that your old man can sleep soundly.

After arranging a ministry for Li Xiaoyong in the Praetorian Guard, Li Tai also counted it as a matter of concern, and when he came to Chang'an again, he could have one more choice.

On this day, Yuwen Hu suddenly sent a house slave to invite Li Tai to come over the mansion as a guest, which was also mentioned by Yu Wenwu when Li Tai had just entered Beijing. Originally, Li Tai didn't doubt him, after all, it was normal for each other to eat and drink, but after experiencing the changes in the attitude of the Wei Chi brothers one after another, he had some associations about it.

In order to find out if things are really as he thinks, and if so, then solve it quickly, Li Tai led his entourage to the banquet. When he came to Yuwen Hu's house, he immediately noticed that the atmosphere was a little unusual, Wei Chi Hui and other members of the dragon slaying team were there, and their family scrolls were also in the house.

In addition, there are several other guests, who are the Yuan Wei clan, named Yuan Xiaoze, Yuan Xiaoju, etc., and they also have another identity, that is, Yuwen Hu's wives and brothers.

Li Tai was not familiar with these Yuan family members, but he was still warmly greeted, looking at their eyes, he already knew it in his heart, and he also understood Yuwen Hu's thoughts. This guy shouldn't like to be his cousin-in-law, but he's happy to be his brother-in-law.

】

The banquet had already been arranged in the middle hall of the Yuwen Protector's Mansion, and Li Tai was arranged in the position of the guest of honor, with no curtain covering the left side. The left wing of the central hall he faced was the women's banquet room, and although there were curtains between them, the occasional glimmering gaze still made him a little restless.

Although Li Tai has no shortage of similar experiences, the embarrassment he feels at this moment is still vivid, especially when Yuwen Hu and others persuade him to drink more and more explicitly, he feels even more headache, he only feels that it is a sin to be too handsome, and hopes that someone can rescue him from this scene.

But in reality, the odds of falling into a well are often greater than sending charcoal in the snow. Just when Li Tai felt that there should be nothing more embarrassing than this, he was quickly slapped in the face.

Suddenly, a house slave hurriedly came to the hall and whispered to Yuwen Hu, who stood up from the table and said with a smile: "Please pause your cups and spoons, and welcome your guests with me, Hanoi Gongdugu Kaifu has just entered Beijing, and I want to enter the hall to borrow a drink......

There was a crisp sound, Li Tai hurriedly swept away the cups that fell on his robe, and when he saw that everyone was surprised, he smiled dryly: "It's a little too strong to drink......
