0426 Reward Mansion
The gentlemen welcomed Li Tai and his entourage into the city in a noisy manner along the way, and constantly publicized Li Tai's mighty achievements to the surrounding pedestrians and spectators.
Some of the people in Beijing know about it, and some don't know it very well, but under the propaganda of these teenagers who have spared no effort, I am afraid that there will not be many people who will not know about this matter after today.
Even if some people are not very aware of the actual significance and high quality of this feat, when they see that these gentlemen who walk their dogs in Beijing on weekdays and hate ghosts and ghosts all respect and praise this young and handsome general, they suddenly left a deep impression on Li Tai in their hearts.
A group of people walked through the streets and alleys, and everywhere they passed, they were inevitably chaotic, and finally returned to the gate of Gao Zhongmi's Situ Mansion, but they saw that there was already a team of Liufang forbidden troops standing in front of the door.
When it comes to the number one ruffian force in Beijing, these Liufang forbidden army is the well-deserved first, and even these gentlemen who are impatient to abide by the rules and disciplines of Luli have to avoid them when they see them.
At this time, seeing so many forbidden army guards standing here, the noisy atmosphere was somewhat subdued, and all the gentlemen did not dare to run forward and backward swagger, but all followed behind Li Tai's mount. If this is on the battlefield, it is all two or five boys who betray the boss.
Li Tai and Gao Zhongmi continued to ride their horses forward, and only then did they see clearly that it was Wei Chi Yuan standing among the forbidden soldiers.
Wei Chi Yu also lined up the people in front of him, strode forward to meet them, and clasped his fists at the two and said, "Gao Situ and Li Kaifu, disturb the two." I was ordered by His Majesty to enter the palace and invite Li Kaifu to join the Eastern Expedition to enter the palace to give a reward. ”
"There is a late opening of the mansion to report, but I have just entered the city, and my demeanor is not in order, so I am afraid that it will be a loss ......of etiquette to worship like this."
Li Tai turned over and dismounted, but he didn't expect that the summoning order in the palace had been issued long before he entered Beijing, and he looked at Wei Chi Yuan with some embarrassment and said.
After hearing this, Wei Chi waved his hand and smiled: "Boshan doesn't have to worry, it's still the middle of the day, and it's not too late to enter the palace in the evening." I also admired Boshan's feats, but because I was staying behind, I didn't have time to greet him before, so I rushed to Yihebo Mountain in advance after receiving the order. ”
"In that case, then please Brother Wei Chi and go into the house and sit for a while, so that I can clean up a little and then come and see you."
When Li Tai heard this, he raised his hand again to invite Yu Chi Hui into the mansion, but Wei Chi Hui smiled and waved his hand again.
"Daxingtai heard that Boshan is going to marry the great Sima Huzhong Liangshu, and he is happy for you in his heart, but he also thinks that Boshan is still living in Beijing, and there is no room for the great meritorious soldiers in the emperor's town, doesn't it make people's hearts cold? When I entered the palace today, I asked Your Majesty to hope that the first area of the Xiandi before the ban would be transferred to Boshan to settle down. ”
Wei Chi Hui said to Li Tai with a smile again, and pointed to the people behind him and said: "Now that the mansion has been cleared out, everything is available, and Boshan can move in at any time." You and Situ Gongcheng have a deep affection, but it is not good to bring so many friends into the house to make a nuisance, and entertain guests in your own hall, which can also make the guests and hosts happy! ”
That's the feeling, that's the rhythm! Roll, you keep rolling!
When Li Tai heard Yu Chi Yu say this, his heart suddenly became happy, this feeling of being a sea king and having a circle of licking dogs is really cool. The hard work is worth it, I, Li Boshan, finally turned over today to be the master, and the offensive and defensive momentum is different!
"Then Uncle, I will go to the new house with all my friends first, and Uncle will go back to the house to rest first, and then I will come to invite Uncle to eat at home."
Wei Chi said so, he always had to say something, and he was also curious about what the new home Yuwentai gave him was like, so he said to Gao Zhongmi.
"Let's go, you children go to play games for fun, and I'm too lazy to bother, so I'll go visit my relatives first, and I don't have to bother tonight."
After hearing this, Gao Zhongmi waved his hand and said with a smile, just preparing some gifts to visit Feng Yi's palace and discuss Li Tai's marriage with his princess.
The mansion given by Yuwentai is located in the northeast of Chang'an City, and the side is only one street away from the imperial city, but the eastern range of the mansion has reached the vicinity of the Bacheng Gate in the east of the city.
Although the Imperial City of Chang'an is located in the east of the city, a mansion can span the area between the imperial city and the east gate, which also shows the vast area of this mansion.
Rao is Li Tai is not very interested in the current industry in Chang'an City, but after looking at this mansion, he can't help but be overjoyed, the area of this mansion alone is equivalent to the scale of Hongnong Yang's family in the city.
He was all smiling here, and the other gentlemen in Beijing who had come here were amazed and envious for a while when they saw this mansion in the core of the city and such a large mansion, and some people couldn't help but start counting the neighbors who lived nearby, all of whom were people with a grand prestige in the court.
The newly renovated mansion has thick walls and a neat interior layout, and although there are no ornate ornaments, it is also pleasing to the eye.
When Li Tai and his entourage walked into the mansion, there were already more than 30 male and female servants waiting in the front court, and according to Wei Chi Yuan, these were all the servants who were given to Li Tai along with this mansion.
Because there are so many young people in Beijing who are traveling with him, Li Tai is naturally embarrassed to leave everyone behind and go to the house by himself, of course, he can't lead everyone to tour together and expose the furniture pattern in front of people, so he asked Li Licheng to entertain everyone on his behalf, and he took advantage of the gap between bathing and changing clothes to take a look at the area between the middle hall and the inner courtyard.
In his impression, Yuwentai, the boss, is picky and searching, rarely giving away any big money, and the most used way to express closeness to people is to give away the second-hand goods he has used, which is not something that ordinary people can get.
But after a lot of excitement in the house, Li Tai also had to admit that the boss really didn't do anything perfunctory this time, and it was really good to treat himself.
The overall tone of this mansion is simple and practical, although the decoration is not luxurious, but the atmosphere is livable, and it is definitely not cheap as a wedding room, after all, even Yuwentai's own Daxing Tainei Mansion is also such a decoration style.
By the time Li Tai finished packing up and then walked out, the middle hall was already full of laughter and noise. The area of this central hall is also very large, more than enough to accommodate hundreds of people to feast in the hall, and it is also divided into different areas such as banquet and play, which is really magnificent.
Because he would enter the palace to meet His Majesty the Emperor later, Li Tai naturally could not indulge with these people, and as the host, he took the table to thank them for coming as guests, and then asked Wei Chi to go to the quiet hall to sit down, and check with each other about the meritorious people who would enter the palace to receive the feast later.
Because this series of battles took place in the enemy's territory, and the imperial court did not send any overseers to follow, then the records and distribution of military exploits naturally belonged to Li Tai himself.
There are more than 50 people who have made great contributions, anyway, like killing Yan Zixian, Liu Feng and other conclusive merits in battle, Li Tai can't break through the current upper limit of officials even if he takes all the upper body, and he has no brothers and grandchildren to transfer his merits, so he simply shares the credit with his subordinates, so as to win them an official title.
"I really envy Boshan to have the opportunity to stay outside and gallop to make contributions, I am guarding the house now, and I am worshipping Chenju and being in a critical position, but in fact, ...... Alas, that's it, if I say more, I'm afraid Boshan will laugh at me for being greedy enough. Besides, I don't have any experience in serving in the army, so if I really get such an opportunity, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to make contributions smoothly like Boshan. ”
When Wei Chi Yu saw the long list of merit books handed over by Li Tai, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
As a general of the guard, he is only a bright face, but in fact, he is just an eye and ear arranged by Daxingtai in the court, and things are cumbersome and difficult to talk about, and he has to fight for twelve points, so he is full of envy for Li Tai in his heart.
Not to mention anything else, the name book that Li Tai submitted now, if nothing else, will be Li Tai's henchman in the future, and it will be a solid foundation for him to stand proudly in the country.
If this momentum continues to develop, these are just relatives and disciples who are sheltered under the wings of Daxingtai, and it may not be long before they can fight against them again.
A similar precautionary mentality had been born before Wei Chi Yuan, but under the stern admonition of Daxingtai, these thoughts were gradually suppressed. But today, it is all pouring into my heart, and it is no longer just a worry about the future, but a feeling of being difficult to reach for Li Tai's achievements at the moment.
"The king's industry is not prosperous, there are many things, and the husband makes meritorious contributions and waits for his own time. When the time comes, Brother Wei Chi will also be able to have the courage to build things, and his prestige and great achievements will definitely win over my moment! ”
Now it is the end of the twelfth year of the Great Unification, 546 A.D. is about to end, and in the second year of the abolition of the emperor in 553 A.D., Wei Chi Hui will lead the army to conquer Shuzhong in one fell swoop, and this place will be included in the territory of the Western Wei Dynasty.
As for the credit of seizing Wei Chi Yuan's slaughter of Shu, Li Tai has not thought about it, but this matter also has advantages and disadvantages.
First of all, he can't guarantee whether he can do it. Secondly, as a non-core member of the Yuwen clan, it is uncertain whether Yuwentai will hand over such an important battle to him to command.
Third, if the Shu is successful, he will be pressed in Sichuan for several years, which coincides with the most intense period of ups and downs at the end of the Western Wei Dynasty, and I don't know what the situation is when he comes out again!
Therefore, this matter must also be looked at dynamically, and it is not advisable to make too certain plans too early, so as not to lose the power of change.
