(I heard people say that the title of the king is the title of the king. It should be a habit left over from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Some people say that it is the title of the prince. Later, it should be distinguished from the title of the emperor. No, it doesn’t matter. Here it is the prince.
of the title.)
The next day, Chen Xiaoyi was also busy with housework and had little free time.
Because the army will rest in Jinyang for many days, Jinyang ordered Wen Yanbo to take mourning leave. It is not yet known when he will come back to take office. Many things must be done by him, the Taiyuan County Governor. Wen Yanbo's replacement is
Wu Boyuan, the former governor of Linfen County.
This man is a disciple of the Pei family. The reason why he was transferred back to Jinyang to serve is that, firstly, he studied under Pei Shiqing, and Li Po did not want to leave the army's retreat in the hands of such a person. Secondly, it can be regarded as the Pei family's extension to Jinyang.
A tentacle of the Yang.
In fact, although this man lost his position as a county guard, he seemed to be very lucky. The officialdom in Jinyang was dividing the cake, so he caught up and went directly to the general manager's office to join the army as a household officer.
In terms of the normal functions of the general manager's office, the power is definitely higher than that of the county guard, but the title is one level lower, and the process is definitely reversed.
Generally speaking, officials are sent from outside the Governor's Office, which is called real promotion, and there is no mention of the return of a county governor.
But this is not an ordinary season, so it is not surprising that something like this happened. Of course, Wu Boyuan's luck actually lies in the fact that Li Po is about to become king. Now Hu Cao, the general manager, joins the army. What position will he have in the future? Some people must want to
A rising tide lifts all boats, and 80% of them will include Wu Dalang.
What made Wu Boyuan so lucky was that at this time of year, his Shangguan Wen Yanbo went to attend the funeral for his brother, so he temporarily replaced him as the Jinyang Order. Do you think he was lucky?
Wu Boyuan was in his prime, full of energy, and had abundant abilities from his family background, so he took some of the pressure off Chen Xiaoyi.
But Chen Xiaoyi didn't feel happy. Young people were springing up in front of him like mushrooms after a rain. Do you think it would be better to be a former waver?
Of course, except for He Chou, that old guy who was getting more and more energetic as he got more and more active, no one dared to be presumptuous in front of him. If Bingzhou hadn't set up the position of Bingzhou's general manager, otherwise, Chen Xiaoyi would have been the first choice.
Therefore, the title of Jinyang General Manager's Office is becoming more and more embarrassing nowadays.
Chen Xiaoyi had been busy all day, looked at the sky, and finally thought about going to the manager's house to have dinner or something. He was still a little disappointed. After the manager returned to Jinyang to entertain everyone, he should have convened everyone to discuss matters, but at this moment,
No news...
Well, there are many people who have the same idea as him, and they are all ready and waiting to be summoned by the manager.
Chen Xiaoyi ordered someone to inquire about it, and not long after, his confidant came back to report that the manager went out in the morning to the Wang family's residence in the south of the city, and then went to the east of the city in the afternoon.
Well, Chen Xiaoyi, who now knows Jinyang well, understood immediately when he heard it. Wang's revised law had been said to be in shape earlier. Of course, the revision would definitely not be completed at this time.
It can only be said that the Wang family finally has a plan, and the most important revision phase will be entered next. Being able to have the manager's luncheon at Wang's house means that the Wang family has passed the test this time.
Wang did take a good deal... Chen Xiaoyi secretly said something jealous.
As for the east side of the city, the Wen family lived in the east of the city. They must have gone to visit Wen Yanbo. Well, they have to wait a while here.
At this time, Li Po had indeed arrived at the Wen family's house. He first offered a stick of incense to Wen Dayou. Li Po had seen many funerals, but he had only personally participated in three of them.
One of them was flagging Duan Wenzhen, Minister of the Ministry of War, on the way to Liaodong. He was very dissatisfied at the time, but when he heard Li Bijiang talk about Duan Wenzhen's life, Li Po clicked his tongue and then felt that it was too much for such a man to be a filial son and grandson.
It's not something difficult to accept.
The second one is Wang Rengong. Old man Wang is a hard-nosed man. He despises his actions but admires him as a person. When he buried Wang Rengong, it was like adding a handful of soil to the Sui Dynasty.
The third one was to bury the remains of several uncles. That was the most sincere time he prayed for the deceased.
As for Wen Dayou... he was someone who couldn't be beaten with eight sticks and had nothing to say about it. He only looked at Wen Yanbo's face and burning an incense was the limit.
The people of the Wen family seem to be pretty good, and they haven't caused any trouble. The children are all well-mannered, which is different from Wen Dalin. They are serious heirs of poems and books.
When the general manager came, Wen had to go through some troubles. Apart from being honored, she also couldn't lose etiquette.
So, Li Po met with a few people and talked with some people. For the first time, he felt that although it was a bit tedious to appease a family, it was also quite interesting.
Coming to the study behind the Wen family's main house, Li Po looked at Wen Yanbo, who looked sad but was in good spirits. Sure enough, even people like Wen Yanbo had a lot to gain from fame.
Hypocrisy comes out, let alone other people.
If Wen Dayou was just a good-for-nothing nerd, would Wen Yanbo still hold a funeral for his brother so solemnly?
Li Po felt that the answer was yes. Li Yuanli sent Wen Dayou's coffin back to his hometown. Li Po had to suspend the war. As a brother, Wen Yanbo had to accept it solemnly. This is the etiquette and morality that Confucianism values most.
If something goes wrong, your reputation will be stained.
This is true for Li Po, and especially true for Wen Yanbo.
I can't say whether it's good or bad. People who are restrained by etiquette and morality are good people after all. As long as they don't restrain themselves too tightly and create some monsters, then it's okay.
After thinking about his words, Li Po spoke first, "It's sad to hear that Sanlang Wen died early. However, this is the beginning of a major event and everyone is working hard. I hope you can save your sorrow and accept the change..."
"I'm not an unreasonable person. We met in Youzhou. I've always regarded you as my humerus and relied on you as my confidant. If my parents were bereaved, I would never interrupt the relationship through external affairs. But now, with the death of my brother, you still want to
Isn’t it enough to keep filial piety?”
These words were a bit direct, and the following was harsh, but Wen Yanbo was grateful, because according to the etiquette of the world, after a brother dies, even if the elder brother dies, after the first seven years, the other brothers can also remove their filial piety.
From now on, it's mostly a matter of children. Unless you want to seize someone's inheritance, otherwise, in today's world, there is actually not as much emphasis on it as it was later.
It is true that Wen Yanbo was sad about his brother's death, but there was also a pretense in it. In fact, as long as Li Po gave an order, Wen Yanbo would immediately have a reason to escape from the funeral.
But now that Li Po came to visit in person, his affection was clearly evident. How could Wen Yanbo not be grateful and how could he not respond?
People's tears these days seem to be free of charge. As soon as the eye circles turn red, the golden beans will drip down. Li Po was shocked, and he thought to himself, I have seen the women in my family cry several times. You, a grown man, are crying.
Too bad, what if the man you promised won't shed tears easily?
However, Wen Yanbo took advantage of the situation and bowed to the ground, choking and saying: "My lord is so trustworthy... I feel so guilty that I can't help but hope that my lord will not give up. I will do my best to assist my lord in achieving great things..."
……………………
After coming out of the Wen family's house, Li Po breathed a sigh of relief. Wen Yanbo was quite happy that he didn't let him come here in vain. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to find a replacement for the large stall that Wen Yanbo was in charge of. Yu Wen would have to be replaced at any time.
After Xin was transferred back, everyone else seemed to be doing worse.
This year has just begun, and I don’t know yet what things are waiting for me.
You can ignore Wang Shichong from the south and Dou Jiande from the east. Unless these two guys are crazy, they will come to beat Li Po.
Speaking of which, the Li family and his son are the biggest threat, but with the Yellow River blocking their way, it's not that easy for them to get ashore.
Then there is the north. The rise of Turkic chaos is an indisputable fact. In addition, the Turkic royal court moved northward very suddenly. This behemoth standing in the north finally started to stagger.
It is said that there are the most rebellions in the east. As soon as Ashina Liver died, many eastern grassland tribes immediately lost their centripetal force, and then the number of rebellions increased, and it was difficult to identify them.
Do you think those who participated in last year's Turkic League Conference are loyal? Those who did not attend are all rebels? So, under the rule of the Turkic Eastern Khan this year, there is still chaos.
Then there is the rebellion of the Erpugu tribe in the west. The Turkic royal court moved northward undoubtedly to target them, but the Pugu tribe has actually been torn apart. The Shegui Khan of the Western Regions has resumed his activity. He saw the return of the Turkic tenants.
In the hope of the earth, even if the Turks can quickly quell the rebellion of the Pugu tribe, they will still have to face the attack of their Western brethren.
Once the Turkic royal court moved north, it would leave behind another mess. Some Turkic tribes in the Yunzhong grassland remained, which could be regarded as preserving some of the achievements left by Shibi Khan. The Turkic tribes who occupied a large area of Yunzhong grassland could, in time,
, will turn the entire Yunzhong Grassland into a pasture for the Turks.
Without the strong restraint of the Khan Account, at the end of autumn last year, some Turkic tribes wandered along the Great Wall, looking very unwilling to do so.
In fact, when Li Po heard the news, he immediately understood that they were interested in nothing else. After years of going south without even getting a hair, they would no longer covet the wealth and population of the Sui Dynasty.
They must have taken a fancy to the cattle and sheep grazing in the Yunnei grassland, as well as their captured compatriots.
They were drooling and hesitant. One of them was that the Sui people from the south had formed an alliance with the royal court, and they also wanted to pick off the most dazzling pearl in the royal court. This made them worry that they would be punished by the royal court if they went south to invade.
Secondly, the Sui people in the south are not easy to deal with. If you go south to attack such an enemy, will you be able to take a bite of fat meat, or will you be a sheep in the tiger's mouth and become a slave of the Sui people?
Therefore, at the end of last autumn, Li Po's worries did not come true. The hesitant Yunzhong Turkic tribe did not go south and cross the Great Wall, but their greedy eyes were only felt.
This year, who knows, there will always be a bold guy who will be the first to taste the taste of crabs...
