0428 Death of the minister
The first day in Beijing passed like this.
The next day, Li Tai got up early in the morning, and caught Li Licheng, who was still sleepy-eyed, and asked him to discuss with Li Xiaoyong about presiding over the construction of the amusement park on Longshou Plain, and by the way, he led away all the teenagers who were still sleeping in the comatose hall.
When Li Licheng heard this, he immediately became interested, and when he patted his chest again and again to ensure that he would complete the task perfectly, and when he told the teenagers in the hall the news, the teenagers immediately cheered, completely unaffected by last night's hangover, and left the mansion with a shout, and went to Longshouyuan to choose a location together.
Looking at these boys full of energy, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh that time is the most valuable asset. After the generals outside the Chengcheng County Government drank a lot before, the eggplants that were frosted one by one on the second day were not at all as fast as these young people recovered.
Time is indeed the most valuable treasure, some people although they are not literate, but their lives have just begun, and there are endless possibilities in the future, but some people no matter how brilliant and outstanding their achievements are, their lives have come to an end.
After sending Li Licheng and his people away, Li Tai did not pay attention to the worship posts stuffed into the house everywhere, bathed and changed clothes in the house behind closed doors, and eliminated the smell of alcohol, so he changed into a plain robe, and instructed his family to arrange a few things for the time, and then led a team of personal soldiers to leave the house and go to Su Yujing's mansion.
Su Sui has been quite emaciated and sick since last year, and he fell completely ill this year, and left Taiwan to return to Beijing to recuperate in the middle of the year, but after all, he was still terminally ill and passed away a month ago.
After Li Tai heard the news, he also felt quite sad in his heart. Although he and Su Sui have not been together for a long time, when he first entered the Taiwan Mansion, it was thanks to Su Sui's recommendation and care that he gained more attention and support from Daxingtai.
Before, when he returned to the country from Longyou, he directly led his troops to participate in the Xianyang Grand Parade, and then rushed to Beizhou because of the invasion of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and did not have time to visit Su Xuan. Now, taking advantage of the fact that Su Sui was still in Beijing and had not returned to the village, he hurried to the door to offer condolences.
When Li Tai came to Su Sui's house, he saw various funeral things such as hemp flags, and people kept coming to mourn. He did not lead a group of entourages into the front to disturb him, so he dismounted from a distance, and only took Zhang Shinu and went straight to the door of his house.
In front of the door, the person in charge of receiving the guests is Su Chun, the younger brother of Su Xuan, seeing Li Tai coming to this trip, Su Chun also quickly stepped forward, hugged his fists and said: "Yesterday, I also heard that Li Kaifu was triumphant, but the door was too late to go to congratulate, Li Kaifu returned from the expedition, I thought I was tired, and I rushed to see him before I had time to pause, but the dead could not smile and greet ......."
"Su Shangshu is my recommendation to the master, and I have the grace of knowing it, the former is on official business, and he can't come to see him, so he doesn't want to say goodbye to ......."
Li Tai saw Su Chun's sad face, and couldn't help but have a sour nose, a few short conversations, and then went straight into the mourning hall in the house, bowed and mourned in front of Su Chun's coffin, and after a memorial service, he recalled his voice and smile before his death, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
The martial arts Su clan is a big clan in Kansai, and Su Sui is one of the most important clansmen in his clan at present, so there are many Su clan people living in mourning and crying inside and outside this mourning hall. And among them, the most conspicuous is a child, five or six years old, still very immature, wrapped in a coarse linen garment, holding a sack stick, and his cry has become hoarse, but still mourning.
This child is Su Wei's young son Su Wei, Li Tai couldn't help but feel more sad when he saw his appearance, although he knew that the funeral ceremony was inevitable, but he still couldn't help but say: "This little man has lost his kindness, it is already unfortunate, his muscles and bones are still immature, and he needs to be taken care of properly, don't indulge in injuries and ruin due to mourning!" ”
】
After Su Chun heard this, he hugged Su Wei, who was still crying and wailing, wiped away the tears on his face, and whispered: "Ah Lang, accept the sorrow, come to see Li Kaifu, it is the Li Lang that you often praise at home!" ”
"See, see Li Kaifu......"
Crying emotionally for a long time, an adult can't stand it, let alone a child, this Su Wei opened his mouth and tried a few times, before he could make some weak sounds.
Li Tai took the kid from Su Chun's hand, stroked his back and said: "You are virtuous in your hometown and virtuous in the court, and you are an example of the times in the world. Although the relatives are not there, they have left a lot of personnel legacies, and they will not suffer from disobedience. In the future, if there are any difficulties and difficulties, you must come to sue me, and you must define it! ”
This kid is so old, he obviously doesn't understand the meaning of Li Tai's words, and Li Tai also said it to Su Chun next to him.
Although it is said that the martial arts Su clan in the Kansai clan, even if Su Sui is gone, there are still Su Liang and others who are in the middle of the situation, but they do not need to rely on Li Tai's care.
But whether they need it or not is one thing, and Li Tai also used this to express his gratitude to Su Sui. And the guidance and help he can provide to Su Wei, this kid, is far from what the martial arts Su clan can provide.
Li Tai stayed here for a while, and after asking Su Yu when he returned to the village for the funeral, he saw that another guest had entered the house to offer condolences, so he left first.
It has been more than a month since Su Xuan's death, and the funeral has been stopped in Beijing, and most of the relatives and friends who should have rushed to the funeral have also arrived, mainly to wait for the arrival of Daxingtai.
The day after Li Tai went to mourn, Yu Wentai also came to his house, went straight into the mourning hall, and cried in the coffin, so that everyone around him was moved to tears.
Li Tai came to accompany the condolences again today, and seeing Yu Wentai so sad, he couldn't help but feel great in his heart.
Although this boss likes to pretend on weekdays, but the sadness at this time is definitely sincere, without Su Xuan's help and the construction of various framework foundations, it is unknown whether the grass platform team of the Western Wei Dynasty can stand firm at the moment.
In particular, Li Tai is now trapped in the absence of similar advisers to assist Zuo, so he realizes the great significance of a talent like Su Sui to a regime and a force. He proposed a systematic administrative and bureaucratic plan, which not only benefited the Western Wei and Northern Zhou dynasties, but also existed in the ruling genes of the Sui and Tang empires.
Of course, Yu Wentai may not be able to foresee this, and his current sadness is more with Su Xuan's death, and he no longer has a big housekeeper who can entrust all affairs to rely on. Although there is still no shortage of vassals in the overlordship, there is no one who can be as comprehensive and conscientious as Su Sui, and so able to make him trust.
In the middle of the month, after the funeral and condolences of relatives and friends from all sides, Su Sui's coffin also returned to his hometown.
Yuwentai led hundreds of officials to see him off, all the way to the south bank of Weishui, seeing the car driving the coffin on the pontoon bridge, Yuwentai couldn't help crying and drinking.
