Li Tai quickly took the silk book handed over by Li Zhongju and then carefully spread it on the cage.
The content of the silk book is not long: “I know the news of my son, and I feel very relieved; your brother is in charge, so you can work with me; here, all the relatives are gathered here, but if you are still uneasy, it is useless for you to return; the family and country are not the fault of my son, even if you have no birth, you should not blame yourself; don’t think about it, don’t return because of foolish filial piety, and don’t let your mother cover her face and find all her ancestors.”
In just a few dozen words, the image of a kind mother who is happy and sad and hard-working is vividly revealed on the silk book, and the lines reveals her expectations and safety of her son’s future. Most of the content is to advise Li Tai not to go back, and to find various reasons for his understanding.
Li Tai stared at the silk book with his eyes, and the bloody words outlined the image of his mother in his mind more clearly and specifically.
If this image was originally just an abstract concept that embodies some human emotions, then now he is really sure that there is indeed such a kind mother in this world, who is wholeheartedly looking forward to her peace, joy and success.
Wait until tears flowed into the corner of his mouth, the bitter taste made Li Tai wake up. He hurriedly raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, and said to Li Qianzhi a little embarrassedly, “I haven’t seen it for a long time, so I’ve laughed at you for a while.”
After hearing this, Li Qianzhi waved his hand and said to Li Tai with a serious expression: “What Chen Youcheng said, Shisanlang, do you still have to think carefully before making a conclusion?”
At the moment, only these three cousins were present in the hall, Li Tai did not need to deliberately maintain his image as a loyal minister of the Western Wei Dynasty. When Li Qianzhi said this, he did not answer directly, but asked back first: “I would like to ask the fifth brother, if the recruitment of Gao Da General was fruitless, will he take his anger and harm his relatives in Guandong? If this happens, will all relatives and friends have plans to deal with it?”
“Zhisanlang, your questions have been discussed together before my trip, and they all felt that it should not be possible. Now the country is in trouble and external difficulties, not only Heyang’s danger. Even if Gao Da General takes off his anger and kills my clan, he cannot urge you to attack the enemy from the outside, and cannot appease the public affection at the inside, which is useless to the country or to do things. Gao Da General is not a short year in his participation in national affairs. If he is so stupid and unwise, his family will probably encounter misfortune last year.”
Li Qianzhi replied after hearing this.
Li Tai’s face showed a look of shame when he heard this: “Alas, the world is divided and the world is evil. He is brave enough to make achievements, but he puts his family in an unpredictable and dangerous situation…”
Seeing his appearance, Li Qianzhi sighed, and then said, “Before he left, my uncle told me that you have done your own deeds now. There are few people who are close friends to the party to help each other, so you don’t have to think about the public’s intentions if you decide to go east.
If you have the intention to return to the east, you will be in a straight way and delayed manner. If you don’t have this intention, you don’t have to worry about it. Your relatives stay together and be together.It is indeed good to have a common thing, but what if the disaster of Heyin resurrection? “
The uncle Li Qianzhi mentioned was named Li Yan, who was the long-standing Changfang Changzhi of their Longxi Li clan, and was one of the few elders among Li Tai’s fathers who were spared from the disaster of Heyin.
When Li Tai heard this, he couldn’t help but sigh that the Heyin Incident was not only a great disaster for the Northern Wei Dynasty, but also a great catastrophe for the Li family in Longxi. Li Tai, his own grandfathers, including Li Qianzhi’s father, all died in the Heyin Incident. So when talking about this matter, he felt unspeakable pain in his heart.
Li Tai was also relieved when he heard that the tribesmen did not use family affection to put pressure on him to persuade him to return home.
The Ruo tribe all strongly hoped that he could join forces with Dongzou in order to support him, and if he refused to go back, no matter who is right or wrong, he would undoubtedly leave a kind of ruthless and mean image.
Li Tai will definitely not go back when he goes back, but Gao Cheng even spoke and showed such great sincerity. If he had no idea at all, he would clearly embarrass the other party and force him to retaliate against his family.
After pondering for a moment, he took the staff to lead Chen Yuankang and his subordinates in, looking at Chen Yuankang and said seriously, “What I have been doing before is focused, and today I am particularly confused about loyalty and filial piety.
I would like to ask Chen Youcheng to come back and tell General Gao, thank you for your appreciation. However, Boshan has a body and mind, and he has no intention of going east, so he is not waiting for a price. His family makes a living in the east, but fortunately he is to live with Gao Da.
I am grateful for this kindness, but the heart of the matter has become pure, so I only ask Prime Minister Yuwen to dismiss my position and send another talent to Heyang. I retreated from the matter and did not point to Hebei with a bow and knife to answer Gao Da’s kindness.”
“The general does not have to respond hastily, but can…”
Seeing that Li Tai still refused to recruit him, Chen Yuankang was a little unwilling to accept it. He was still waiting to fight for it, but Li Tai waved his hand to interrupt him.
