Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

"Some benefits are just words but not real. They are words of appreciation, but gifts are shabby."

After leaving the military camp, He Basheng glanced at Li Tai's messy-coated mount and said with a smile.

Li Tai was still a little suspicious of He Ba Sheng's simple words. After hearing this, he only said: "The giant bandit has not been eliminated, and everyone needs to do their best. Boshan is not a warrior of the country who fights against thieves. Even if There is a good horse, but it is just idle. There is no deliberate use of military personnel and strength."

When He Basheng heard what Li Tai said, he smiled again: "As expected of Lu Shuhu's nephew, his words and deeds are quite similar to your uncle's."

He Basheng and his subordinates all had horses, but Li Tai's more than 30 subordinates could only walk. The group walked for more than half an hour before arriving at a ferry on the west bank of Luoshui River.

"You can use another boat, and Li Lang and I will cross together."

He Basheng signaled several soldiers to board the boat for the ferry, while he and Li Tai entered the boat and sat down.

After the boat left the ferry, He Basheng looked at Li Tai and said with a smile: "We were in several Huibao tents before. Did you complain that I blocked your future?"

"How could it be? Boshan is young and clumsy, and Master Kuang's safety is unknown..."

Now that the matter has come to this, Li Tai certainly won't say that he was indeed tempted, and will only tell the previous reasons again.

"Lu Shuhu often mentioned the deeds of your family in the old years. The great disaster in Heyin could not harm him, and the loss of Hulao was just a minor disaster. The east thief Hou Jing has captured Gao Zhongmi's family, but your family does not know what happened. That’s good news.”

The catastrophe in Heyin mentioned by He Basheng was the Heyin Incident that occurred more than ten years ago. Er Zhurong led his army into the dynasty and massacred one or two thousand people from the official family of the dynasty.

As a powerful noble family in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Li family of Longxi also suffered heavy casualties in this incident. The father of Li Tai's predecessor, Li Xiao, did not participate in the Heyin Incident on the day of the Heyin Incident because his official robe was bitten by rats, so he survived. Most of his brothers of the same clan were killed.

In the memory of his predecessor, after experiencing the Heyin Incident, his father Li Xiao felt the cruelty of political struggle, and since then he has lived in seclusion in the countryside and is no longer interested in political pursuits. Even when he was recruited as a staff member by Gao Zhongmi, he was also coerced by Gao Zhongmi.

The father and son did not have official records in the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Hulao City was destroyed, but their father was missing. They were probably worried that if they were caught and found guilty, they would implicate the pro-party, so they fled and disappeared, or they may have died in the rebellion. .

"I also hope that heaven will show mercy and that you can continue to avoid disasters. But separation of flesh and blood is painful after all..."

When Li Taiyan mentioned this section, he could not help but reveal his hurt feelings.

"Who says it isn't?"

He Basheng also sighed after hearing this. His sons were also living in the Eastern Wei Dynasty. When this topic was mentioned, he felt equally sad.

Feeling that the atmosphere in the cabin was too gloomy, He Basheng raised his hand and patted Li Tai on the shoulder, laughing and scolding: "You are not a prudent and simple person, so I know that your memorial brought me a lot of trouble! "

"I, I really don't know, please enlighten me!"

Li Tai panicked after hearing this and said quickly.

"There's no need to be unfamiliar with the title. Lu Shuhu is not only my old relative, but also my best friend. You are his nephew, so I deserve to be called uncle."

He Basheng no longer threatened Li Tai with a straight face, but just sighed: "Da Xing Tai gave me your original book, but he scrawled the chapters involving Zhao Gui in ink and then gave it to others. You can see that this is What’s the reason?”

"This, is it that Daxingtai hates Zhao Gui for exhausting his army but cannot bear the punishment, so he only uses his grand master and uncle to teach him a lesson as a senior citizen?"

Li Tai didn't expect that there was such a hidden secret in it. After hearing this, he thought for a while before speaking again.

"As expected, he is Lu Shuhu's nephew. He has the style of a political strategist who can crack people's hearts. It is a fact that Zhao Gui's army was defeated, but it is not convenient for Daxingtai to sentence him. He can only push me out to be a bad guy. Zhao Gui and I have no quarrel. On the contrary I still have an old relationship with him, but now I have to meet him completely. Tell me, is this the trouble you caused me?"

He Basheng patted Li Tai again, and then sighed: "The personnel affairs in the Western Dynasty are far more complicated than you can imagine. Several Huibao's appointment in Qinzhou also has the deep intention of taking over Dugu Ruyuan's power. You kid, don't Thinking that you can figure out everything by learning some political skills, you rashly get involved in personnel disputes that are beyond your ability!"

Li Tai was really shocked when he heard this. He thought that by following Shuo Hui to Qinzhou, he could avoid Zhao Gui's entanglement and revenge, but he didn't expect that if he really chose this, he might even offend Dugu Xin.

It seems that the personnel disputes during this period of the Western Wei Dynasty were far more profound and complex than the surface knowledge I read in history books. If he wants to take advantage of the historical prophet and act rashly, he will die without knowing how.

Seeing that Li Tai's eyes were dull and he seemed to be frightened by himself, He Basheng smiled again and said, "Do you want to know what Daxingtai thinks of you?"

"Dahangtai is in charge of all internal and external affairs, so you have time to look after Zang Fu?"

After feeling that the personnel affairs in the Western Wei Dynasty were complicated, Li Tai was also reflecting and reviewing, but he was also really curious about what Yuwentai, the big man who founded the Guanlong Group, thought of him.

"Da Xingtai watched your writing and said that you are brave and courageous, and you are not someone who has been subordinated to others for a long time. What do you think, are you honored or frightened?"

He Basheng looked at Li Tai, whose expression was changing, and said with a rather evil smile.

Li Tai raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said with a dry smile: "I am both happy and scared. I never expected that my clumsy words would receive such ridiculous praise from Daxingtai. I have not been good at academics since I was a child, and my favorite Discussing current affairs, covering up one’s own ignorance, and flaunting one’s wisdom by taking advantage of other people’s wisdom…”

"Haha, how can you, a young disciple from Dongzhou, know so much about the affairs of Kansai? Daxingtai thought that your enlightenment was due to family inheritance, but when I look at this writing strategy, I know that it was Lu Shuhu who taught you. It seems that he still can't I let go of the lingering regrets of being unable to stand on my own, and when I returned home to reflect, my insights became much deeper than before.”

While he was talking, the ferry was about to dock, and He Basheng said seriously: "Now that you've come, let's make peace with it. Shu Hu is my old colleague, and you are not alone here. But try not to do stupid things like the rash remarks you made before." . Even if Hulao is defended, it will be difficult for the army to advance to Hebei. Those who know this know that rural hatred and resentment can only be incited by your rash words. "

"I, I understand, I must remember my uncle's teachings!"

After talking with He Basheng, Li Tai also realized that his so-called historical prophet was indeed a bit unreliable when faced with specific situations.

In the chaos of wars and chaos at the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty, who can stand out among all the chaos? Which one is a simple person? Intrigue has become their instinct for survival and prosperity, and their little thoughts are really not enough.

After the ferry docked, the group continued on their way.

On the way, He Basheng also acted like a friendly elder. He asked Li Tai about his academic skills and talked about some of his views on his children's education. He could not help but feel a sense of sadness in his eyes, probably thinking of his sons who were scattered abroad.

After communicating all the way, Li Tai couldn't help but feel good about He Basheng. He could see that He Basheng's kindness to him was indeed a kind of care for his old friend and younger generation. After all, he had no wealth, no power and reputation, and there was really nothing worthy of the other party's covetousness.

After the defeat of Mangshan, the current situation in the Western Wei Dynasty was undercurrent. Many disputes may only be left in the history books in a few strokes, but it is unknown how many people's joys, sorrows and blessings are contained in them.

Even if he doesn't consider achieving something in this era, just to meet the most basic need of survival, Li Tai still needs a close elder who understands the current situation to remind him from time to time, so as not to act rashly and make mistakes.

He originally expected that this character should be his father Li Xiao, but he did not expect that Li Xiao did not follow the defeated army into Guanzhong at all.

Although it was his first acquaintance with He Basheng, he had already given him a lot of pointers. However, the relationship between the two parties is not close to close. To He Basheng, he is just the nephew of an old friend. It would be unreasonable for him to rely on the other party for this.

As Huazhou City got closer and closer, Li Tai became more and more confused, and his conversation with He Basheng gradually became a little absent-minded.

He Basheng seemed to have noticed the young man's worries. In addition to his friendship with Lu Shuhu, to be honest, he also had a good impression of this young man. His conversation, behavior, and appearance were much better than those of his peers.

So much so that He Basheng fantasized in his mind, would his sons left behind in Dongzhou also have such a demeanor?

"If my son is like this and has nowhere to live and no way to make a living, I hope in my heart that there will be a kind-hearted elder who is an old acquaintance and can be their support..."

With this thought flashing through his mind, He Basheng took a deep breath, looked at Li Tai and said, "If Li Lang has nowhere to go after entering the city, I have a leisure garden in the west of the city..."

Before he finished speaking, a group of knights came galloping in front of the city gate. One of the knights shouted: "Apan, you are finally here! I have been guarding you at the city gate for many days. Fortunately, you are here." If I live up to your trust, we can live together in Kansai!"
