Northern Dynasties

Chapter 208 Dispatch to Beizhou
A few days before the New Year, Li Tai was summoned back to Huazhou Bafu by Daxingtai.

When he walked into the Taifu, he saw many officials packing up the government hall and packing their luggage. They were planning to follow Daxingtai to Chang'an for the New Year.

Seeing this busy scene, Li Tai was also in a bad mood. Originally, he could also go to Chang'an with everyone to show off the official status he had gained throughout the year, but now the festivities of the New Year belong to others. All he has is emptiness and loneliness, and he can only spend the New Year in Shangyuan.

But soon he knew that staying in Shangyuan for the new year was a luxury.

A group of personnel teams had already gone to Chang'an under the leadership of Su Chuo, and Yu Wentai did not work normally in the straight hall, but only summoned internal and external personnel to explain affairs in the other hall.

When Li Tai was led into the other hall, he saw a middle-aged man with an unfamiliar appearance sitting on the side seat in the hall, talking with Yu Wentai.Judging from the way the two talked and behaved, they should have a very harmonious relationship with each other, and Yu Wentai respected the middle-aged man quite a bit, so when he spoke, his body was half leaning out of the table.

Li Tai couldn't help looking at the middle-aged man as he entered the front to pay respects.He has also been in and out of Ba's Mansion many times, and he has known Shi Liu a lot. Judging from Yu Wentai's attitude towards people, it can be seen that he is not an ordinary person, but he has never met him before.

"This kid is staring like a thief, as if he doesn't know a real hero in the world!"

Yu Wentai pointed at him in the banquet and smiled at the middle-aged man, who also smiled modestly, and then Yu Wentai said again: "This one is Li Jinghe, the Duke of Zhao Jun. Usually, he often has words of admiration when talking about personnel and affairs, but when we meet I don’t know, hurry up and meet me, don’t be rude!”

After Li Tai heard the words, he just came out of a daze, and rushed in before making the salute.Thinking about it, there are really not many people in Kansai who can deserve the courtesy and respect of Yu Wentai, and Li Tai also attends a few grand occasions, and there are very few people who have not seen it, and Li Bi is one of them.

After the Battle of Mangshan, Li Bi has been in charge of guarding the banks of the Yellow River. Even if he did not return to the front line for two grand parades and the New Year's Court Meeting, it shows that Yu Wentai relied heavily on him, so Li Tai never had a chance to see Li Bi.

He didn't think of the identity of the other party for a while, but compared with his illustrious reputation, the image of Li Bi in front of him seemed too mediocre, with a medium build, a face that would be unrecognizable when thrown into a crowd, and not full of arrogance. Wu temperament.

But after learning about the other party, Li Bi's image suddenly sparkled in Li Tai's eyes, and this guy's brave deeds and brilliant military exploits kept flashing in his mind.

Although the Six Pillars Kingdom is famous for being the pioneer of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, not everyone is known for their outstanding military talents.

For example, Zhao Gui is famous for his support, Dugu Xin is also famous for his personal image and family relationship, but his actual military talent is not obvious enough. As for Li Hu, his deeds are mostly hidden, and the identity of Tang Taizu is the most eye-catching .

Four of these six people were born in Wuchuan. Although there are other factors among Yu Jin and Li Bide, the most important thing is their strong personal ability.Yu Jin has many achievements in making decisions, and Li Bi's most brilliant is the victory in Shayuan.Although these two people were not born in Wuchuan, their relationship with Yu Wentai might be a little closer than those of Wuchuan Township Party.

"I have heard a lot about Li's virtuous name. Since you entered the mansion, when you met with the lord, the lord has done several things in the mansion. It is not a lack of people. Today, I have a good look, and I am really outstanding and charming. !"

Li Bi's attitude towards Li Tai was also kind, and he smiled and nodded in response to his greeting.

After coming to this world for nearly two years, Li Taicai finally saw the Six Pillars Kingdom of the Western Wei Dynasty, and he was very excited for a while.Hearing that Li Bi praised him as a rising star in the Taiwan government, he felt that he had to be kind in the future, instead of always staring at him and looking for trouble, and he didn't have the style and bearing of a big man at all.

"In front of this kid, there are not many good words to say. He is usually courageous, but if he hears words of encouragement, he will never guess what he dares to do."

Yu Wentai's tone seemed to be belittling his nephew who was always favored and proud, but when he turned to look at Li Tai, his face suddenly sank, and he snorted coldly: "How many times Huibao recommended Cui Shiyue?" As the successor of Beihua State, have you waved your tongue?"

After Li Tai heard the words, he was very impressed by how much benefit he had given him. After visiting and discussing with his cousin Cui Qian, he then played the matter on the Daxingtai. This is really doing it as his own business!
When a governor leaves office in any state, he often leaves behind a lot of personnel relationships. Therefore, if possible, he often hopes that the successor is someone who is close to him, so that the relationship can be maintained and deepened.

As an old man in Wuchuan Town, Shuohui has more than just Li Tai, and he doesn’t have much friendship with Cui Cong, who is also from the Cui family of Boling, one of He Basheng’s staff members. This recommendation is entirely out of trust in Li Tai. , No matter whether it succeeds or fails, Li Tai is also grateful.

Without his own connection, it would be impossible for Shuo Hui to hook up with Cui Yu. Li Tai knew that he couldn't hide it from Yu Wentai, and seeing the other party's expression was a little displeased, he quickly bowed his head and said: "Is the identity of the minister and Jingzhao Cui envoy?" Relatives, I have always known that their talents are far-reaching. I have heard some envoys who are worried about whom to entrust with state affairs, so I boldly recommend them for recommendation. I dare not compare myself to the sages who did not avoid their relatives. In addition to recommending scholars for the country, they are also saved It is a private plan to build a nest, and I hope that all the blind daters will be prosperous in the country."

Forming a party 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.There are already contradictions between the hegemony and the imperial court inside, and there is also the threat of the coexistence of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Liang Dynasty outside.

Li Tai said frankly that he was in the middle school of the nest and his relatives were all prosperous, and he also expressed his optimism about the future of the Western Wei Dynasty, and wanted to recruit all his personal relationships into the overlord's mansion.This is also similar to the self-defilement of a famous minister, a special statement in a special situation.But if you still say and do this in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, you will be proficient in finding trouble.

"Cui Shiyue's age and wealth are far superior to yours, even if you feel wronged for a while, you don't have to speak up for him! A small plotter will make the Fang family laugh!"

Yu Wentai snorted again, raised his hand and pointed to Li Bi who was seated by the side, and said, "General Li will also return to serve in the government, and there is no one to take charge of the river defense. I am concerned about the country, do you want to take this opportunity to recommend a river defense governor?" Will?"

Hearing this, Li Tai was also a little embarrassed by embarrassment, as if I recommended you to be appointed.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 I will never be good at talking about things!"

Of course he didn't dare to argue with staring eyes any longer, he quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and seeing Yu Wentai's expression softened, he said again: "Although he speaks of a humble position, he dare not forget to worry about the country, but the lord governs the constitution wisely, and he is lenient in receiving and granting. The minister is worried about the country and is good at planning. The vast knowledge of the Lord is just a drop in the ocean and a sand in the Ganges River. It is better to retreat and reflect on why you are in a humble position, and be sincere in doing things and seek more insight. Enter."

After he finished speaking, not to mention Yu Wentai's expression, Li Bi opened his mouth slightly in surprise.

It was the first time he saw Li Tai, and it was also the first time he saw someone dare to speak out against Seros in front of Daxingtai, but seeing that Daxingtai not only didn't feel disgusted, but smiled at the corner of his mouth, and then flattered Li Tai a little bit. Smacking, I can't help but sigh secretly who doesn't like to hear flattery, but few people can say it so clearly and interestingly.

Yu Wentai was originally a little dissatisfied with this kid's meddling and Fang Zhen's choice for an important position, but seeing that he admitted his mistakes with a good attitude, the anger in his heart dissipated a lot, and he didn't want to act like a listener in front of Li Bi The foolish man smiled at Li Bi again and said, "Although this son has anointed his family, he is not vain and old-fashioned. Since he entered the mansion, every idea he has created is of great benefit to others. He is also rewarded for his talent and indulged Its nature, there may be miscellaneous branches spreading out, so pruning in time, I hope it can become a pillar of talent who can step up Jinghe's future."

Li Bi was not as clever as Li Tai. He bowed his head after hearing the words, and said, "The talents are not unique. I dare not boast of being a pillar. I only reward the Lord with great rewards. I will repay you wholeheartedly and do my best! Li Bi If you engage in talent and sensitivity, you will be appreciated by the master, and you will use it for a long time, and you will definitely benefit from the king's affairs, and you will not be inferior to your predecessors."

Yu Wentai pointed at Li Tai again and said: "The government officials will go to Beijing to celebrate the imperial court in a few days, so you don't need to go with them, pack up after you return, and go to Dongxia Prefecture immediately, just do your own business, and don't make orders from the Taiwan government. Do not return!"

After saying this, he paused for a while, and then quickly added: "You are not allowed to go to other states and counties anymore!"

"So fast?"

Li Tai was stunned when he heard the words, he thought he could squat in Shangyuan and watch how the turmoil in Chang'an City ended, but he didn't expect Yu Wentai to let him go now, not even let him have a peaceful life this year.

He hurriedly said: "I have taken orders, and I will lead my troops to go north tomorrow. But before the trip, there are a few other things in my job, which need to be reported to the Lord."

Yu Wentai nodded after hearing the words, indicating that it's okay for him to speak up.

"The former court rectified the Shamen. All the believers in the Shamen, such as Master Liu and Buddha, were classified as prostitutes. However, there are many believers among the thieves. This king's rule can't cover the barbarity. If one body is banned, it will disturb Hu Qing, and there will be no king. To rule, I ask you to show kindness outside the law, respect what you respect, recruit sincere people from all over the world, collect their funds, gather their strength, match their feelings, and heal their hearts..."

He was going to report on his plan to build a Liu Shifo Temple in Diaoyin. Of course, he would not pay for the people who built the temple. He still had to kill the big dogs in Jihu.

Yu Wentai had already made a fortune this year by confiscating Buddhist temples. When he heard that Li Tai actually had follow-up plans, he listened very carefully. Everything is as it was played, if you really can collect funds and gather strength, harmonize feelings and heal your heart, you will be rewarded by a magnate!"

Taking advantage of Yu Wentai's good mood, Li Tai quickly took out another document and handed it in with both hands: "There are two other defenses in the northern border, and the minister has already written the stationery here, and it is only waiting for the master to review and pay, and then he can go to the border." Fortify!"

When it comes to spending money, Yu Wentai's mood is no longer cheerful. He took the paper and flipped through it, and went straight to find the total amount of supplies needed at the end. I was embarrassed to refuse directly, and just smiled and said: "Su Shangshu has already gone to Chang'an, and I will discuss this and give you a reply after the court visit."

Seeing that he wanted to renege on his debts, Li Tai quickly said again: "I don't take pride in fame and honor, but I only hope that the northern border will be as stable as a rock, and it will be difficult for thieves and evils to invade! If this is the case, even if the funds are insufficient to defend, it is not enough to use the body as a fence." pity!"

"The ambition is commendable, the government can give half of it first, and the rest will be given later."

Yu Wentai was silent for a moment, and then he spoke with pain in his heart.
