Lu Shuhu seemed to have been thinking about it for a long time. After hearing Li Tai's question, he perked up. He first put down the wine glass in his hand and his expression became serious.
"Boshan, you have high ambitions and a prosperous career. At a young age, you have reached a level that none of your relatives have reached. I, an idler outside of work, have been busy for half my life. What qualifications do I have to teach you, a strong man in work? It's nothing more than relying on you.
In view of the closeness of blood ties, a few casual words are added, and it is up to you to adopt or not adopt it, depending on your heart."
Although the relationship between uncle and nephew is very close, after all, there is a huge gap in power and status between them. Therefore, Lu Shuhu did not pretend to be an elder and criticize, but said calmly: "I heard Zigang say that Bo Shanqian is now a household member.
There is only one breath in it, which is really not good. Although your uncle is not talented, he still has several breaths below the beast, so why?
Regardless of whether you are an official or a scholar, the foundation for inheritance lies in people. Although the family is extremely poor, there are poor people to guard the house, the family tree is evergreen, and the tombs of the ancestors are not deserted. The Buddha is compassionate, even if he does not borrow money and has no heirs, he is a single family.
Boshan, you are now responsible for the welfare of all people, and the destiny of a country requires more sons and daughters to benefit the family and the country."
Li Tai had already put on an attitude of being attentive and wanted to hear what his uncle had to say about his military and national plans, but he didn't expect that Lu Shuhu would talk about his family problems when he opened his mouth. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed for a while, so he nodded repeatedly.
Said: "My uncle taught me that my parents often reminded me of this matter. The former is because the military government is busy with work and often travels with troops, so there is no time to maintain health. Now that I have entered the court and have the help of the masses, I must do my best.
”
"Your parents may have neglected you, causing you to live in Kansai and struggle to make a living. There are some things that I can't say more about. Since I entered Kansai, I have also learned from the people that the power you have now is really unfortunate.
, are all accumulated through hard work and planning. In particular, your father-in-law, the late Mr. Hanoi, also cared deeply about you, which is touching. Now that Mr. Hanoi has suffered a misfortune, you should also take good care of these people and things left behind."
Lu Shuhu looked at Li Tai and said seriously. After Li Tai heard this, he nodded and said, "My father-in-law is indeed very kind to me, so I am also very attentive to his family affairs. I hope I can take good care of him."
"It's not just your father-in-law's family affairs, it's also your own family affairs. There's still one thing you haven't dealt with thoroughly enough, maybe you haven't even noticed it yet."
Lu Shuhu paused briefly when he spoke here, as if he was considering his words. After a while, he spoke again: "I don't know if the Duke of Hanoi has ordered you to discipline your household servants, but even if there is, it is best not to obey it.
This is not an evil talk, but because of your current status, there will definitely be people vying for advancement and favor. If you don't get it, you will inevitably have resentment. In the old days, the Duke of Hanoi was in power, so even if people have resentment, they can't.
Dare to fight. Now the public in Hanoi is young and difficult to support. I need you to take more care of me.
You have already gained favor here. If you still dominate the house, all the resentment will inevitably gather together. Since your family is not a righteous person in the world, and it is a lonely home with few relatives and friends, criticism from the crowd will inevitably lead to slander. The so-called thousands of people.
What you are referring to is that it ends without any problem, and I will stop here. I would like to remind myself that Boshan should conduct some self-examination."
Li Tai also frowned when he heard this. It was not that he was irritated or annoyed because Lu Shuhu was pointing out his family affairs. After all, the uncle-nephew relationship is a very close relationship. To put it bluntly, if they were beasts
Unfortunately, his brother passed away. Li Tai was responsible for providing for his uncle in his old age and inheriting the family property. He was ranked ahead of his fellow disciples of the Lu family.
Therefore, Lu Shuhu could speak eloquently about his family affairs, and what he said was very realistic and insightful, and he could be considered to have put himself in his shoes.
His family has many relatives and friends, and most of them are intertwined and compatible with each other. It would be a bit awkward to blend into a Dugu family. If he just sticks to his wife, then many criticisms out of favor and other intentions will be
He will continue to focus on his wife one after another.
In fact, the reason why Li Tai didn't take concubines in recent years was not just because of his professionalism. The main reason was that he couldn't stop chasing after others, and he didn't have the leisure to be enthusiastic about the affairs between men and women. After he stabilized in Shannan,
, my parents and even my wife have mentioned similar things.
However, this kind of thing is either due to political needs or physiological needs. For Li Tai, there is no need to sacrifice one's life to pursue a specific situation. It was only after Lu Shuhu's reminder that he realized
As status changes, this has become a problem that needs to be faced squarely.
"I am so young, I think I am shrewd in dealing with things, and I pretend to be a wise man, but I don't realize that there are many hidden problems in family matters that I need to ask my uncle for advice. I am really ashamed. The old man is focused on things and has no time to take care of the family. Before his parents meet again
, there are only young couples comforting each other in the house. Now that my wife has suddenly encountered the death of a close relative, even if she has other things to do, she still needs to talk about her feelings and feel at ease before making any plans."
After pondering for a while, Li Tai opened his mouth to answer again.
After hearing this, Lu Shuhu stopped entangled with this topic. Soon after, he couldn't help but sigh: "Boshan is truly benevolent and righteous in dealing with people. No wonder he can establish a business in Kansai. The world is in chaos, morality is corrupt, and everyone is evil and treacherous.
, does everything, even if it is just a penny, and dares to take revenge for the destruction of the family, Boshan can only uphold justice and uphold justice. This is already the most precious treasure for achieving great things, and it is better than many ingenious plans."
Although the praise was very useful, Li Tai still wanted to hear Lu Shuhu's more specific ideas, so he spoke again: "Adhering to benevolence and righteousness is naturally the foundation of governance. But the world is uneasy precisely because of stubborn traitors who betray justice.
If you want to control it, you still need to use some skills. Uncle, you have been under the rule of the Eastern Thief for a long time, and you must have seen the reality of the thieves, so you should teach me something?"
After talking about family affairs and returning to the original topic, Lu Shuhu couldn't help but smile and said: "I just didn't want to speak frankly, but I was really timid to show off my wits. Boshan, the wonderful deeds you have done since you were in office always make me happy."
I am amazed, not to mention that I have worked hard to make it come true, even if it is a delusional idea, it lacks intelligence. But now that you have asked me again and again, then I will show off a little bit."
Although Lu Shuhu is good at military affairs and has many strategies, it depends on who is in front of him. In front of him, his nephew is a famous general who has been victorious in every battle and has defeated many famous ministers and generals throughout the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi Dynasty.
Even Lu Shuhu could not imagine how wild and wild there were in many battles. Talking on paper in front of such people was really stressful for him.
After pondering for a while, Lu Shuhu continued: "Although Qi is rich and powerful today, it has failed to use its skills. Jinyang Jingjialang is fighting outside the Great Wall, and Hebei Valley is full of silk and rivers. They are not troubles and ignore the close enemies.
The Lord of Qi, because he had already established his own business, was particularly afraid that he would not be able to intimidate others with his lustful force, so he would act in excitement and lose his long-term plan. He might appear to be fierce, but in reality he is not wise.
Although the two capitals of the country stand side by side, in fact, the Taihang is like a blockage and the gaps are like ditches. The reason why the Western Dynasty repeatedly failed to attack is that the first is that the armor is weak and the food and grass are not abundant; the second is that the method is wrong and the situation is unclear. Attack the big with the small.
, I must admire the extraordinary achievements, Heluo and Tianzhong are not the place to compete for supremacy, Hedong Pingyang is the door to defeat thieves!"
"My uncle's opinions are really brilliant. He is not obsessed with the appearance of the East thieves' wealth and power. It is really thought-provoking to see the depth of their shortcomings!"
When Li Tai heard Lu Shuhu's comments on the situation in the Northern Qi Dynasty, he couldn't help but nod in agreement, especially his evaluation of Gao Yang's temperament and acting style, which was particularly popular with him. As the founding emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Gao Yang was also very active in the early days of his reign.
, but after all the hard work, it really failed to leave any high-quality assets. In the end, what Northern Qi could rely on was the old foundation left by his father and brother.
As for the criticism of the repeated fruitless attacks of the Western Wei in the second half, it is also correct. It is an indisputable fact that the Western Wei was weaker than the Northern Qi. Even after Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Buddhism, the war mobilization power of the Northern Zhou regime had exceeded that of the deeply contradictory
The Northern Qi regime, but the overall national strength and social wealth are still far from surpassing.
The Northern Qi regime, including its social structure, has always been divided into two sections: Jinyang and Hebei. Launching an attack from Heluo would put pressure on these two sections together, allowing them to put aside their past grudges and work together to fight against the outside world.
Heluo is like a plate that can receive the manpower and material resources pouring from Jinyang and Hebei in the Northern Qi Dynasty. However, the Western Wei and Northern Zhou Dynasties can only transport it all the way through the Weihan Ancient Road. Even if there are other routes, it is difficult to cooperate. For example,
Previously, Li Tai went north from Sanya Road, but the Chinese and foreign troops simply abandoned their troops and ran away.
Hearing Li Tai's approval and praise, Lu Shuhu suddenly became more confident, and then said: "The Jade Bi City in Fennan in the Western Dynasty is truly a famous defense in the world. However, since ancient times, when it comes to military discussions, defense is not as good as attack.
If you want to defend the south of Fen, you must capture the north of Fen. If we can build a strong city in the north of Fen, we can form a formation around Fen, and we can advance and retreat freely. Attack and defense are up to us. Even if Jinyang has a victory, it will not matter."
Hearing this, Li Tai couldn't help laughing again. It seemed that his old uncle was really obsessed with Fenbei. In history, Gao Yan suggested building a city in Pingyang, Fenbei. Now there is no chance to advise Gao Yan.
However, he came to Guanxi and suggested that he build a city in Fenbei.
Li Tai also has ideas and plans to build a city in Fenbei, but the time is not good yet.
Now that he has just taken over the government, the situation in the country is still not stable, and he has just completed peace talks with the Northern Qi Dynasty. The two sides have once again returned to a low-intensity confrontation. If he rashly crosses the Fen River to build a city and fortify it, it will inevitably arouse conflicts between the two.
If we scramble to prepare for war on the Fenshui front line, the situation may get out of control and affect other personnel development.
Although this strategy was not suitable for the time being, Li Tai also benefited from the conversation with Lu Shuhu. Soon after, he sent an invitation to Lu Shuhu, hoping that he could serve as a senior staff member in the Chinese Foreign Affairs Office. Lu Shuhu was naturally interested in this.
I happily agree. As a counselor who is good at talking about military affairs, who wouldn’t want to follow a famous general like Li Tai who has strong execution ability and watch him put his strategies into practice!
The uncle and nephew had a great conversation, but Li Tai did not expect that shortly after this conversation, he would become a matchmaker and be interviewed.
