Northern Dynasties

Chapter 306
"My confidants are back!"

As soon as the two of them entered the hall, Yu Wentai stood up and stepped down to greet them. Before the two of them bowed down to worship, he held one of the other and sent them into the banquet.The two couldn't resist their enthusiasm, so they could only stand sideways at the table and pay homage: "Your servant will kowtow to Daxingtai!"

"No courtesy, no courtesy, it's okay to sit in this hall!"

After Yu Wentai returned to the table and sat down, he laughed and said to the two of them, and then pointed to Li Mu and sighed: "The wind and snow in Beizhou make people crumble, but fortunately, my general's quality is as solid as gold and stone, and the front arrow is hard to damage. Don't be afraid of the ravages of wind and snow!"

This passage sounds familiar to Li Tai, but he doesn't remember who he said it to, but it's normal. With so many confidant generals under the command of the boss, everyone is eagerly looking forward to receiving the care and encouragement of the Lord. Boss No matter how rich the imagination is, there will inevitably be similarities and repetitions. As long as the listener finds it useful, nothing else matters.

Sure enough, after listening to it, Li Mu avoided the table again with a look of excitement and said: "The Lord's gift is generous, and I am moved from the bottom of my heart, but if there is an envoy, I will never hesitate to die!"

What this said is really the kindness of a drop of water is reciprocated by the spring. Yu Wentai only rewarded him with ten lives, but he wanted to return it a thousand times. It's a pity that this loyalty could not be maintained by Yu Wentai's descendants body.

Li Tai sat down in the table after paying his respects, complaining in his heart about the lack of nourishment in the conversation between the two of them, but they didn't interrupt, like a little transparency.

Sometimes some messages can be conveyed by being quiet. Although Yu Wentai is chatting with Li Mu who has been separated for more than a year, his eyes occasionally glance over Li Tai. Seeing his sitting posture as calm as a bell, it seems that there is a wave of excitement all over his body. There was a faint negative energy, which was very different from the previous meeting, and my mood became a little complicated for a while, and I even felt a little guilty.

With the passage of time, the parting feelings have been talked freely, and then it gradually turned into an awkward chat with nothing to say, but Li Tai still did not say a word in the stuffy seat, Yu Wentai is ultimately a superior mentality, see In this way, the feeling of guilt in my heart quickly dissipated, and was replaced by shame.

He didn't stay in Chang'an often, and every time he came, there were too many accumulated things to deal with. After receiving the two of them for condolences, he led them to another hall for dinner.

Yu Wentai's face darkened again when he heard this. He had indeed heard some rumors from the Taiwan government recently, but he was not in the mood to inquire about the specifics, and he didn't think that Li Tai, who was the victim, would bite back and make nonsense. Therefore, he felt displeased, and directly raised his hand to summon the waiter to order: "Thoroughly investigate the people in the mansion who spread evil voices recently, and anyone who dares to make absurd remarks will be severely punished!"

Li Tai buckled the shit pot first, but he couldn't say it was a slander. He didn't want the daughter of the Yuwen family at all. Instead, he had to exaggerate his feelings: "If there are few people, you will admire your parents. If you know lust, you will admire Shaoai. An official admires the lord. The minister bids farewell to his parents, and the lord lives in my hometown. The gift is the same as that of his parents. Going over Leichi, the god sent Shaoai far away, so I love Aiwu and Wu, I would like to ask the Lord, what is the crime of this situation? Is there anything worthy of criticism and ridicule?"

Because Li Mu knew the whole story, he felt that it would be hard to digest this kind of thing if he left it on anyone for a while, and worried that Li Tai might become even more absurd, so he hurriedly leaned over to remind him in a low voice, and bowed upwards with his fists cupped: "My lord, please Calm down, Li is engaged in the reason why he..."

Li Muzheng felt that the Lord was really kind and pampering to Li Boshan, but what happened next surprised him.

After reprimanding Li Taibo, Yu Wentai looked at him again and said, as if he really considered the previous proposal seriously.

Hearing that the Master's warning tone was not mixed with too much reprimand, obviously he was not annoyed by this unreasonable request, Li Mu couldn't help being surprised again.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu's expression on the side became a little dull. He looked at Li Tai and then at the Daxingtai sitting in the hall. By the way, he took a look at the hall. I heard it wrong, and wondered where I was, whether the person in the hall was the Lord or not?
After hearing this, Yu Wentai also frowned slightly, not as dumbfounded as Li Mu, but for a while he couldn't figure out the inner logic of these words.

Li Mu watched the smirk on the Lord's face become more and more dry, and almost fell to the ground and fell into slag. Of course, he also noticed that the atmosphere was unusual. He expected Li Taiyin to be influenced by his nephew Li Ji's previous events, so Then he laughed dryly, stretched his finger under the case and hooked the corner of Li Tai's clothes, and hinted: "Bo Shan, before you entered the mansion just now, didn't you still say that you wanted to advise the Lord about some strategies to calm the border beards?" ?”

The logic inside this was too blunt, causing Yu Wentai's thoughts to collide with each other. After thinking about it, he said in a deep voice with a straight face.

After hearing the words, Yu Wentai also put on a very interested expression, and said with a smile: "Boshan's proposals have always been sharp and pointed at the current problems. After returning from patrolling, you must listen carefully to what it is like." It is a good strategy. If what you say is well-founded, and it is indeed beneficial to the politics of the border, you will be rewarded with all the achievements you have accumulated before!"

"Wait a minute, my lord, this matter has been hidden in front of others, it is really inappropriate to announce it!"

Yu Wentai didn't react further when he heard this, but just knocked on the table to signal him to continue talking.

After Li Tai heard this, he sighed secretly in his heart. After all, he was still defeated by Zhao Gui, a green plum, but the boss was willing to give him a chance to correct his attitude. It can be seen that in his mind, he is not Nothing.That being the case, it's time to ask for compensation!

Although the Lord often expresses kindness and condolence to his confidants, he is by no means an approachable and pure old man. If something happens that touches the bottom line of his heart, he will immediately show his iron-blooded and stern side.After all, it is to control the powerful forces of all parties. If there is no changeable and tough means, how can these tyrannical disciples bow their heads and accept orders?

After laying the groundwork, Li Tai finally expressed his thoughts: "My loyalty to the Lord is as firm as a rock, and my determination is unshakable. I don't know how to show it, so I have the audacity to beg the Lord to give me an official title again. Therefore, I will never change." Mu Enyi, donate your life to serve, the Lord can also have minions for a long time, and your credit is unquestionable."

Before, she was a virtuous corporal, but now Xiao Tiantian has directly turned into Mrs. Niu. Is it because I am infatuated?It's as if all the hints that poked people's eyelids before were all spit out from the dog's mouth!
Fortunately, Li Tai didn't take this matter seriously at all, otherwise Yu Wentai's change of attitude would be really difficult to digest.It can be seen that it's nothing more than you and me in normal times, whoever wants to be sincere will be doomed to be a loser in this relationship, I just have to be a big, fat and shiny Lu!
"Boshan, be careful with your words..."

Li Tai would not really rely on favors to be arrogant and mad. After hearing the words, he quickly leaned back and said: "I am grateful for your kindness and enthusiasm for progress. Naturally, I am not afraid of heavy responsibilities, brave and daring to take responsibility, but I am also proud of myself." Intellectual qualifications are still low, if a sudden promotion, it is inevitable that the masses will be jealous and hinder things. Although the villain has wild fantasies, he still cannot be judged by the Lord, and the Lord will only rely on the judgment of the Lord, and the ministers will gladly respond to it."

This is a bit mean to say, it can be seen that Yu Wentai's own mentality is also a bit out of control, it is a bit of a guilty bluff.

Seeing that Yu Wentai's attitude towards him has softened a bit, Li Tai is more at ease in giving people shit basins, and all the shocking crimes have been shaken out. This old boy from Zhao Gui's family really has no tutor and ambition, but This is your choice, idol.

Although his mood improved a lot, he still controlled his expression and didn't want to change too quickly. He just nodded slightly and said: "This is indeed human nature, and it's not worth being surprised. If you don't have such a heart, it will be different! Since you understand this, why bother?" Outraged by those rumors?"

"Don't talk nonsense! The court officials and nobles are awarded by their merits and merits. How can you give them too much just to show your kindness! Your talent and endowment are already outstanding, but if you are loyal and hardworking, you will never suffer from fame and honor. Why do you have to think about it like this!"

At this moment, Yu Wentai changed from his amiable and amiable appearance just now, his face was gloomy and majestic, making people dare not look directly at him, but he still snorted coldly: "A newcomer from Dongzhou, a powerless and anointed young disciple. Kansai has not been around for a long time, and he enjoys both official titles and ranks, far surpassing his peers. I am really curious, what kind of grievances can steal his mind and refuse to serve the country anymore!"

Seeing his posture, Yu Wentai's face sank suddenly, he raised his hand and knocked on the case and snorted coldly: "Why did you make such a posture, kid? Why are you so resentful? Just tell me, don't let people misunderstand that I am not straight in the hall." Voice! If someone neglects the hero of the country, I will never forgive him lightly, but if someone is distracted and confused, this place is definitely not a place to breed evil!"

Li Tai was naturally acting deliberately, but after hearing what Yu Wentai said, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and felt that he was worthy of being a hero in troubled times, among other things, he was also proficient at turning his face and being ruthless.

Yu Wentai probably has never read "Mencius". After listening to these words, he went through his mind for a while before he gradually understood what Li Tai said. It melted as quickly as ice and snow, and I was even a little surprised. It turned out that I didn't just shave my head before. Li Tai had secretly developed affection for his little girl based on his admiration for him.

Although Li Tai wouldn't be intimidated by Yu Wentai, he didn't expect this guy to have a tendency to blow up at any moment. He felt that he wanted to hug him back, so he stopped crying and said: "The old saying goes that three people become tigers, Chen Jiu once laughed that it was nothing more than mediocre people's self-defense and slander, or the frustrated voice of not meeting the Ming Lord.

After hearing this, Yu Wentai laughed. This smile is neither like the slightly artificial enthusiasm when the two of them just entered the hall, nor the blunt expression when they were angry before, but it has recovered a bit earlier. He was relaxed and easy-going, looking at Li Tai with relief and regret.

Only harming others but not benefiting oneself, of course it is not Li Tai's style, no matter how much he says here, he is just having fun with his mouth, seeing that this marriage is hard to stop, when Zhao's second son really becomes Yu Wentai's son-in-law, he will meet again Under what circumstances, people must help their relatives and not help others, so it is only right to strengthen themselves.

"It was only after I returned that I found out that there were rumors of evil rumors in the Taiwan government recently and that there were many rumors involving the ministers. When I first heard it, I didn't know what was said. After thinking about it after leisure, I was already furious. I don't know what kind of stupid scheming is the originator of the rumors. This can slander the name of the minister!"

"Then what official rank do you think can match your current talent and achievements?"

"It's not a violation of morality to show affection and end with etiquette. The prestige still exists. Although the minister admires Shaoai, his words and deeds have not been lost, so it can't be called filthy and chaotic etiquette. It can be said that only one of them is mentioned, not the other. Disregarding fame and integrity, being extremely rude, it can be said that there is no family tradition! What's more, the reason why the ministers work diligently for merit is to steal undivided favors, and such remarks are even more absurd, homeless The country, the heart has no loyalty!"

Although you are loyal and determined to me, you don't know how to express it, so let me prove this by adding an official to you first?Court officials can also make advances first, and then you can repay the loan in batches?

After hearing the words, Yu Wentai also felt that this matter should not be publicized anymore, and he had to deal with it in a low-key manner. He raised his hand to signal Li Tai to return to the banquet and sit down, and then sighed: "Boshan, you are a victorious warrior, but you don't want my family affairs to be handled enough. Zhouquan, you are tired of being criticized by the times. It is rare that you still have the patience, I will conduct a thorough investigation after the festival and give you an explanation."

"Xianqing, shut up and let him talk!"

The meaning of this is also very clear, you kid, don't show your face to others, I remember all the previous achievements and deeds, if you still want to show shame, then don't blame me for being rude!

He was thinking so in his heart, but his eyes blinked, and while he was brewing emotions, he left the table and fell to the ground, his tone of voice trembled a little: "I, I am guilty, I am just upset and numb, and my spirit is destroyed. , have no plans in mind, want, want to let the Lord down..."

Only when I have experienced this matter now, can I know that there are many such things, and I believe it now!The honor and disgrace of the minister may not count, but how can the wiseness of the Lord's hearing and hearing be tarnished?Therefore, I dare to defend myself, and implore the Lord to learn from me! "

"It is a mediocrity not to be envied by others, and this kind of experience is no stranger to me. I lost my composure before, only because I was afraid that the Lord would stay away from me. After all, my state of mind is not pure and innocent, and I feel uneasy after being exposed. I know that this idea is beyond my duty, and it is also fearsome. Fortunately, the Lord is not only a matter of love, but the authority and nobility can comfort and encourage people's hearts..."

After the two of them withdrew, Yu Wentai was not in a hurry to deal with other matters, but thought about what Li Tai said before, and found a document on the case, which was the bottom book of the awards for the war heroes in Beizhou , One of the items about Li Tai is "adding Sanqi as a regular attendant and conquering the rank of general".

Both of these are from the official rank of the third rank, and Li Tai won the honor at an age before the weak crown. Yu Wentai is confident that even before the Six Towns Mutiny broke out, when these aristocratic clans were still noble, Li Tai would never Such a senior official is rare.

That's why when Li Tai showed grief and indignation, Yu Wentai was so angry.This kind of promotion speed, except for those who made great contributions during the period of extreme political turmoil and a very few relatives and cronies that Yu Wentai intends to cultivate and reuse, most people will never be able to achieve it.

After pondering for a while, Yu Wentai took up a pen and added a few more strokes to this volume: Chijie, as a general of Wuwei, supervised the construction of the Southern Suburbs.
