Northern Dynasties

Chapter 312
After resting in the mansion for the night, Dugu Xin got up early at dawn the next day to freshen up, and then went to the forbidden area of ​​the imperial city under the guard of the guards.

Since the imperial court moved to Chang'an, it has not established a comprehensive, orderly and long-running court system. Except for the Wangshuo court meeting and some fixed festivals, the daily court meeting has no law.

Although there is no court meeting today, the imperial city is also very lively, and some officials from various departments in the imperial city have already started to get up and work.

Because Daxingtai Yuwentai had also entered Beijing to celebrate the New Year, there were several times more people staying in the imperial city than usual.Coupled with the fact that the family members of some Taiwanese officials are also allowed to live in the imperial city, the popularity of fireworks is not significantly different from that in Shijingluli at first glance.

When Dugu Xin and his entourage arrived outside the gate of the imperial city, the morning bell had not yet rang, so it was logical that no one was allowed to enter or leave.But the general guarding the gate didn't dare to be negligent after seeing that it was Dugu Xin who came, and hurriedly asked someone to open the emergency door beside the palace gate, and first invited Dugu Xin and his soldiers to enter the building to rest for a while , and then hurriedly sent someone to notify the inside.

In the shadow of a famous tree, Dugu Xin waited here not long before the Guanglu Temple officials and officials from the Taiwan government entered here to greet him one after another. Under the guidance of these officials, Dugu Xin went to the imperial city.

"Brother as you wish, the winter is cold, the wind is cold, and the frost is invading. Hurry up and come here to rest for a while, and we will enter the palace together to meet His Majesty."

In front of the prime minister's mansion in the imperial city, Yu Wentai had already been waiting here, when he saw Dugu Xin approaching, he strode forward to meet Dugu Xin, kindly pulled his wrist and led him into the mansion.

The official of Guanglu Temple was still waiting to say that His Majesty the Emperor also had reception arrangements for Dugu Xin, but before he could open his mouth, he was isolated by the guards of the Taifu, and could only watch Daxingtai and Dugu Xin enter the hall side by side.

In the middle of the hall, Yu Wentai ordered the waiter to bring warm buttermilk, a stove and so on. Put the letter on your body to keep out the cold.

After such an operation, even an ordinary person can make the guests deeply feel his enthusiasm, not to mention Yu Wentai, a powerful official in the government.Dugu Xin also had a grateful expression on his face, and after thanking him repeatedly, he sat down in the hall.

Yu Wentai greeted Dugu Xin meticulously again, and then he raised his hand and retreated from the waiters and other people in the hall, lowered his voice and asked Dugu Xin: "Is it really irreversible what happened in Liangzhou?"

After Duguxin heard the words, he nodded and replied: "Zhonghe has been in the state for a long time, and his achievements in governance are not good enough, and his arrogance is increasing day by day. The former Deng Yan stole Guazhou, but because of Liangzhou's obstruction, he could not use his troops smoothly, and he wanted to become friends with him. The people in Xiazhou under his rule were unbearable to his lewd power and tyranny and reported his crimes to me. I dare not investigate and arbitrarily judge. I only went to Daxingtai for investigation. This time I sent a letter to call him back to Beijing, and he really did No, and the armored soldiers in the state are gradually getting together..."

Yu Wentai frowned when he heard this, and felt quite ashamed in his heart, and said bitterly: "This guy is rebellious and greedy, and the imperial court is dignified and rich, and he is unwilling to be satisfied with him. He really deserves to die!"

What they talked about in their conversation was Liangzhou governor Yuwen Zhonghe, who was the earliest official of the former Liangzhou governor Li Shuren. In the early years of Datong, Li Shuren secretly communicated with the Eastern Wei Dynasty and was attacked and killed by his subordinate Jianchang prefect.

Yuwentai treated Yuwen Zhonghe preferentially because of the same surname, and promoted him to the governor of Liangzhou to control the situation.Originally, he planned to treat Yuwen Zhonghe as Yu Wengui and others, and introduce him as his clan's helper, but Yu Wenzhonghe gradually grew dissatisfied because Liangzhou was remote and beyond the reach of the imperial court.

Especially after the death of Yuan Rong, the governor of Guazhou, and his son-in-law Deng Yan stole the position of governor, Yuwen Zhonghe felt that the imperial court was unable to control Hexi, and turned a deaf ear to the imperial court's orders.

If it was not a last resort, Yu Wentai would not want to give up Yu Wen Zhonghe.One is that he was promoted and appointed by him, and if sanctions are imposed now, his prestige will undoubtedly be damaged. The other is that the reorganization and expansion of the six armies of the Overlord Mansion are still busy, and he really has no suitable candidate to replace Yuwen Zhonghe.

But now he has shown his traitorous attitude, and the situation will be completely out of control at some point, if he is given more protection and indulgence, he will only pay a higher price.

Yu Wentai has never lacked the ability to make decisions. After a moment of pondering, he nodded and said in a deep voice: "For the time being, I will entrust Brother Ruyuan with everything in the west. I will tell you the truth. Most of the Brigade A still need to strengthen the river defense, and it is really difficult to take care of both aspects.

Therefore, it would be best if the Liangzhou incident could be resolved without bloodshed.If you really have to use weapons as a last resort, please make a quick decision, and don't affect the hearts of the local people too deeply! "

In the end, Yu Wentai still hopes that this matter can be handled in a low-key and smooth manner. Once there is a big fight, not to mention the waste of people and money, and the cost is too high, no matter what kind of result ends, Yu Wentai is unwilling to see it.

Although Liangzhou is much closer geographically than Guazhou, it is bound to be difficult for the Taiwan government to send too many people to fix the chaos. It must rely on Duguxin, who has been operating in Longyou for several years.If Yuwen Zhonghe really rebelled, it would hurt Yuwentai's prestige, and Duguxin, who led the army to calm the chaos, would undoubtedly have a great reputation.

"Don't worry about Daxingtai. Many scholars and people in Liangzhou admire Wang Hua, but there are actually very few who are willing to commit themselves to serving as thieves. Shi Yonghe, who was originally from Jiankang County, Liangzhou, was recommended by the previous one. He is not only good at military strategy, but also has the ability to provide care, after taking over Liangzhou, he will be able to prosper as soon as possible!"

Dugu Xin clasped his fists over his forehead and lowered his head, using this to cover up his expression a bit.

In this matter, he didn't intend to create any confrontation with Daxingtai, but the so-called general's orders are not accepted, not to mention that Yu Wentai is not a legitimate monarch, even if he is, his understanding of the situation He is no more profound than his town general, and the instructions he gives can only be used as a reference, and it is difficult to fully implement them without compromise.

Hearing this, Yu Wentai couldn't help but see a little turmoil in his eyes. He nodded and said, "Shi Ning is indeed a talented person with both wisdom and courage. Li Wansui also praised him a lot. When we met in the mansion a few days ago, I asked a few questions. , the answers were all thoughtful, orderly, and decent. If you wish, brother once again recommended talents for the country, which greatly alleviated the lack of manpower in the mansion. I really want to thank you!"

After Dugu Xin heard this, he also felt a little proud in his heart. When it comes to the vision of appraising and selecting talents, he does have something to be proud of.

But if this praise came from Daxingtai, it would make him feel a little sad. He has recruited a lot of talents, but Yuwentai's black hands are also very agile.

Not to mention Yang Zhong, Wei Xiaokuan and other old people who were assigned to one place, and even his subordinate officials just went to the Taifu to report matters for him. If Yu Wentai saw the right thing, he would directly detain and appoint him So much so that although Duguxin has a status of high authority, he gradually feels lonely.

So after learning of Daxingtai's promotion arrangement for Li Tai last night, Duguxin's reaction was a little fierce, full of resistance and rebellion, and he secretly decided that he must not let this son-in-law who was finally selected by Yuwentai's Enhui woos and confuses and acts as a minion.

After calming down, Dugu Xin also felt that being stronger was a bit boring.After all, now that the world has become a triumvirate, it is no longer a chaotic era where people can stand out everywhere. Even he has to bow his head and obey Daxingtai. drive.

Although the truth is such a truth, but Dugu Xin still has some can't let go.Fundamentally speaking, everyone is a minister of the country who is helping the crisis and rewarding the royal family. If there is still a choice, who is willing to be a slave of the Yuwen clan?
Perhaps the development of the times is destined to inevitably change the fortune, but before that day comes, people can't just wait with their hands and do not make any hard work.

There is no fundamental disagreement between Duguxin and Yuwentai. Even if one day Yuwentai really surpassed the Yuanwei royal family and directly held the talisman to uphold the constitution, he would probably be happy to see it happen. After all, everyone belongs to a group that is all prosperous.But in terms of mentality, he has not yet completed the change of concept of sworn allegiance to the Yuwen family.

Under the influence of this mentality, especially before Yuwentai became a legitimate king, Duguxin did not feel that the political resources and room for him to provide Li Tai would be far inferior to Yuwentai.

Yu Wentai's authority and status are naturally higher than him, but correspondingly, there are more aspects to take into account. To him, Li Tai is just a young subordinate who is very admired and worthy of cultivation.

But for Dugu Xin, Li Tai was the son-in-law whom he had investigated for a long time and weighed again and again, and finally he personally selected him.In today's situation where all sons are young and cronies are separated, such a young son-in-law is of great significance to Dugu Xin.

Of course, this is all out of rational considerations, but from the most simple emotional point of view, Dugu Xin is unhappy with Yu Wentai.In the past, you could use various methods such as high officials and rich salary to win over and corrupt my cronies, but now I even give up my daughter, how can you still afford it?Even if I don't rely on your love and care, I can still cultivate and promote my son-in-law with outstanding achievements and honors!
