There were still a few days before the New Year, and Li Tai was recalled to Huazhou Bafu by Daxingtai.
When he walked into Tai Mansion, he saw many officials cleaning up the government hall and packing their luggage, preparing to follow Da Xing Tai to Chang'an to celebrate the New Year.
Seeing this busy scene, Li Tai felt a little uncomfortable. Originally, he could have followed everyone to Chang'an to show off the official status he had gained throughout the year, but now the New Year celebrations belong to others and are left to
All he had was emptiness and loneliness, and he could only spend the New Year in Shangyuan.
But he soon realized that staying in Shangyuan for the New Year was a luxury.
A group of personnel teams have already gone to Chang'an under the leadership of Su Chuo. Yuwentai did not work normally in the Zhitang Hall. He only summoned internal and external personnel in the other hall to explain matters.
When Li Tai was introduced into the other hall, he saw a middle-aged man with a somewhat unfamiliar appearance sitting in a side seat in the hall, talking to Yu Wentai. Judging from their conversation and behavior, they should have a harmonious relationship with each other, and Yu Wentai
He was very respectful to this middle-aged man and even leaned out of the table when he spoke.
As Li Tai came forward to greet him, he couldn't help but look at the middle-aged man. He had been in and out of Bafu many times and had already met many people. Judging from Yu Wentai's attitude towards others, it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person, but before
Never seen it.
"This kid is so voyeuristic that he doesn't seem to know the real heroes in the world!"
Yu Wentai pointed at him and smiled at the middle-aged man in the banquet. The middle-aged man also smiled modestly, and then Yu Wentai said again: "This is Zhao Jungong Li Jinghe. He usually talks about people with admiration, but when we meet...
If you don’t recognize me, why don’t you come in and pay your respects? Don’t be rude!”
After hearing this, Li Tai suddenly came over and hurriedly went forward to greet him again. Thinking about it, there are not many people in Guanxi who can deserve Yu Wentai's courtesy and respect. Li Tai has also attended a few grand occasions, and there are very few that he has never seen.
Shao, Li Bi is one of them.
After the Battle of Mangshan, Li Bi has been responsible for guarding the banks of the Yellow River. He did not return to the front even for the two grand parades and the New Year's court meeting. This shows that Yu Wentai relied heavily on him, and therefore Li Tai never had the opportunity to meet Li Bi.
He didn't think of the other party's identity for a while. Compared with his illustrious name, the image of Li Bi in front of him seemed too mediocre, with a medium figure, an appearance that would be unrecognizable in a crowd, and no arrogance all over his body.
Martial temperament.
But after learning that the other party was behind him, Li Bi's image suddenly shone in Li Tai's eyes, and this guy's heroic deeds and glorious military exploits kept flashing in his mind.
Although the Liuzhu Kingdom was famous for being the pioneer in the development of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in the military system, not everyone was famous for their outstanding military talents.
For example, Zhao Gui is famous for his support and support, Dugu Xin is also famous for his personal image and personal relationship, but his actual military talents are not clear enough. As for Li Hu, his deeds are mostly hidden, and he only has the identity of Tang Taizu.
The most eye-catching.
Four of these six people were born in Wuchuan. Yu Jin and Li Bi were listed among them. Although there were other factors, the most important thing was their strong personal abilities. Yu Jin was mostly responsible for making decisions, and Li Bi was the most brilliant.
Yuan Zhisheng. Although these two people were not from Wuchuan, their relationship with Yu Wentai may be a bit closer than that of those Wuchuan Township Party members.
"I have heard a lot about Li Zheng's reputation as a virtuous person. Since you entered the palace, when we met together, the Lord has visited the palace several times and there are no shortage of successors. Today's visit, it is true that you are outstanding in appearance and attractive in style.
!”
Li Bi also had a kind attitude towards Li Tai, smiling and nodding in response to his greetings.
After coming to this world for nearly two years, Li Taicai finally saw all the six pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, and he was very excited for a while. When he heard that Li Bi praised him as a rising star in Taifu, he felt that he had to be kind in the future, and he couldn't
He always stares and looks for trouble, and he doesn't have the style and magnanimity of a big shot.
"Don't say too many nice words in front of this kid. He is already brave enough, but if you hear words of encouragement again, you can't even guess what he would dare to do."
Yu Wentai's tone seemed to be deliberately belittling his nephew who was always pampered and arrogant in front of others. But when he turned to look at Li Tai, his face suddenly sank and he snorted: "How many Huibao recommended Cui Shiyue?"
Are you interested in choosing the successor to North China State?"
After Li Tai heard this, he felt that the favor was really great. After he and his cousin Cui Qian visited and discussed it, they reported the matter to Daxingtai. This was really their own business!
A governor in any state will often leave behind many personal relationships when he leaves office. Therefore, if possible, he often hopes that his successor will be someone who is relatively close to him, so that the relationship can be continued to be maintained and deepened.
As an old man in Wuchuan Town, Hui Hui's interpersonal relationships are certainly not limited to Li Tai, and he actually does not have much friendship with Cui Quan, He Basheng's staff member and a member of the Boling Cui family. This recommendation is entirely based on his trust in Li Tai.
, whether it succeeds or fails, Li Tai is also grateful.
Without his own help, Shuo Hui would not have been able to hook up with Cui Tan. Li Tai knew that he could not hide it from Yu Wentai, and seeing that Yu Wentai looked a little unhappy, he quickly bowed his head and said, "Is this the identity of the minister and Cui Zhi of Jingzhao?"
Relatives have always known that their talents are far-reaching. I have heard that the emperor is worried about who to entrust with the affairs of the state, so he boldly recommends them for selection. The sages who dare not compare themselves with each other and do not avoid relatives, besides recommending scholars for the country, also exist.
For the purpose of setting up a private plan, I hope that all the people who love each other will be prosperous in the country."
Forming parties for personal gain is usually a taboo phenomenon in the eyes of those in power, but the current Western Wei Dynasty is not considered a normal regime. Internally, there are already conflicts between the hegemony and the imperial court, and externally there is the threat of the coexistence of the Eastern Wei and Nanliang.
Li Taitan said that he would build a nest in the kingdom and all his relatives would be honored. He was also expressing his optimism about the future of the Western Wei Dynasty and that he wanted to include all his interpersonal relationships in the hegemony. This is also similar to a famous minister's self-destruction, a special statement under special circumstances. But if it comes
If the Northern Zhou Dynasty continued to say and do this, then it would be a fool's errand to cause trouble.
"Cui Shiyue is older than you, and his qualifications and reputation are far superior to yours. Even if he makes a mistake for a moment, you don't need to speak up for him! A small position means a big deal, which makes the Fang family laugh!"
Yu Wentai snorted again, raised his hand and pointed to Li Bi who was sitting on the side seat and said: "General Li will also return to the government to take charge, and there is no one to take charge of the river defense. It is a small job to worry about the country. Do you want to take the opportunity to recommend a river defense governor?"
Will?"
When Li Tai heard this, he was so embarrassed that he could be appointed if I recommend you. I really want to go, will you let me go?
"I dare not, I am ashamed. In the future, I will only stick to my duties and never talk about extraneous matters!"
Of course, he did not dare to argue with a stern stare, and quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake. Seeing that Yu Wentai's expression softened, he said again: "Although he said that he was humble and did not dare to worry about the country, the Lord is wise in governing the constitution and is responsible for granting.
The minister is concerned about the country and is good at planning, but his vast knowledge of the Lord is no more than a drop in the ocean or a grain of sand in the Ganges River. He pretends to use the faint light of a mayfly to dry up the bright sunshine. It is better to retreat and reflect on why he is in such a lowly position, to be sincere in his work, and to seek more insights.
Enter."
After he finished speaking, not to mention Yu Wentai's expression, Li Bi opened his mouth slightly in surprise.
This was the first time he met Li Tai, and it was also the first time he saw someone dare to speak cleverly in front of Da Xingtai. However, instead of being disgusted by Da Xingtai, he actually smiled at the corner of his mouth and then flattered Li Tai for a while.
I smacked it, but I couldn't help but sigh secretly. Who doesn't like to hear flattery? It's just that few people can say it in such a strange and interesting way.
Yu Wentai was originally a little dissatisfied with this kid's meddling, and even dared to raise his mouth when he was selected for an important position in Fang Town, but seeing that he had a good attitude towards admitting his mistakes, the anger in his heart dissipated a lot, and he didn't want to act like a sycophant in front of Li Bi.
The ignorant man then smiled and said to Li Bi: "Although this son has favored Liang's family, he is not vain and stale. Every plan he has created since entering the government has been of great benefit. He is also rewarded for his talents. Even if
Due to its nature, there may be stray branches and vines sprouting out, so prune them in time, hoping that they can become the pillars of the future."
Li Bi was not as skillful in rhetoric as Li Tai. After hearing the words, he bowed his head and said: "I am not extraordinary in talent. I don't dare to claim to be a pillar. I only reward the Lord with great rewards. I will repay you with all my heart and do my best! Li
If you are talented and agile in your work, you will be appreciated by your master and put to good use, and you will definitely benefit the king's affairs, no less than your predecessors."
Yu Wentai raised his finger again and pointed at Li Tai and said: "The government officials will go to Beijing to celebrate the dynasty in the near future. You should not follow them. When you return, pack up and go to Dongxia Prefecture immediately. Be careful about what you do and do not receive any orders from the Taifu government.
No return allowed!"
After saying this, he paused for a moment, and then quickly added: "You are not allowed to travel to other states or counties again!"
"So fast?"
Li Tai was stunned after hearing this. He thought he could squat in Shang Yuan and watch the outcome of the crisis in Chang'an City from a distance, but he didn't expect that Yu Wentai would tell him to get out now and not even let him live in peace this year.
He hurriedly added: "I accept the order and will lead my troops to the north tomorrow. However, before leaving, there are several internal plans that need to be reported to the Lord."
After hearing this, Yu Wentai nodded, indicating that it would be okay for him to speak directly.
"The former court rectified the recluse, and all the believers of the recluse, such as Master Liu, were classified as prostitutes, but there was no shortage of believers and admirers among the thieves. This king's rule could not overturn the Hu Huang. If the whole ban was abolished, it would disturb Hu's feelings, and there would be no King Zhang.
To govern, I ask you to be kind to those who can do it outside the law, treat them with respect, recruit people who are sincere in the Hu, collect their capital, gather their strength, reconcile their emotions, and control their hearts..."
He reported his plan to build a Liu Shi Buddhist temple in Tongyin. Of course, he would not pay for the money spent on building the temple. He would still have to kill the big dog owners in Jihuzhong.
Yu Wentai had already made a fortune this year by raiding Buddhist temples. When he heard that Li Tai actually had follow-up plans, he listened very seriously. After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and laughed: "You are allowed to do it.
It’s all as stated, if you can really gather funds, gather strength, and harmonize your emotions, you will be rewarded by a famous noble!”
Taking advantage of Yu Wentai's good mood, Li Tai quickly took out a document and presented it with both hands: "There are also two defenses in the northern border. I have already written this on paper. It only needs to be reviewed by the Lord and the payment is paid. Then we can go to the border.
Fortify yourself!"
As soon as he talked about spending money, Yu Wentai lost his cheerful mood. He took the scroll and looked through it twice. He went straight to the total amount of supplies needed at the end and looked at it twice. His Adam's apple trembled a little, but he finally wanted to face it.
Embarrassed to refuse directly, he just smiled and said: "Su Shangshu has gone to Chang'an. We will discuss this together after the imperial visit and give you a reply."
Seeing that he wanted to default on his debt, Li Tai quickly said: "I am not proud of my title, but I hope that the northern border will be as stable as a rock, and thieves will not be able to invade! I hope so, even if my resources are not enough to defend me, my body is not enough to protect me.
Cherish!"
"The ambition is commendable. The government can pay half of it first, and the rest will be given later in the year."
Yuwentai was silent for a moment, and then he endured the heartache and said. This chapter has been completed!
