Northern Dynasties

Chapter 314 Longyou Second Seat
Some things that happened in the past New Year can be said to be very touching. The two most eye-catching events in the court are the news of success in northern Shaanxi and Hexi.

In the past year, the Eastern Dynasty has successively married Tuyuhun and Rouran, which made the surrounding situation extremely bad and completely isolated and helpless.This makes many people who are worried about the safety of the country feel very worried, worrying that there will be troubles around the world and that the country will encounter the danger of chaos at any time.

Therefore, when the two good news came to the court, those inside and outside the court who were worried about the future of the country all breathed a sigh of relief, and even more optimistic people even thought that this was a sign of destiny in the west. Seemingly unbelievable things really happened.

However, these discussions about major current events are still limited to a small area. What really makes the masses talk about it and talk about it is another matter, that is, a marriage in Hanoi Gong Duguxin's family.

In fact, this is not a formal marriage, it is just a marriage contract, and strictly speaking, it is not a matter of Dugu Xin's family.But how can the public viewers care about these things carefully, they are just curious about what kind of characters can be included in Dugu's eyes?

It's not that Kansai doesn't have marriages for the children of important people. Although Dugu Xin has a high status, he can't be said to be supreme. Last year alone, Daxingtai married two daughters, both of which were strong marriages.

But the public opinion caused by these marriages is not as good as Dugu Xin's going to marry a daughter. In the final analysis, it is because of his appearance.

Duguxin's handsome appearance and unparalleled demeanor are well known to everyone, and he has made outstanding achievements and high positions. He is simply a perfect idol in the eyes of some young people, especially those who are young. There are countless favored and close supporters, who are eager to be a student in the tent, and being recruited by them as the son-in-law is a privilege that makes you laugh out of your dreams!
The other protagonist in the incident, Li Tai, is not an unknown person, he has already gained fame in the Taiwan government, and his reputation in the court is also quite popular.

But his so-called popularity, with the blessing of such a huge traffic, still gives people a feeling of becoming famous overnight. For a while, almost everywhere in the market is spreading and discussing who this lucky guy is.

As a result, information about Li Tai's various deeds has been popularized by gossip-loving Shiliu during this New Year's Eve. It is not only the history and deeds of Li Tai since he was in Kansai after the Battle of Mangshan, but even before that. Some things about living in the Eastern Wei Dynasty have been revealed.

When he traveled to and from the capital, Gao Zhongmi Situ's Mansion where he lived for a long time and Longshou Yuanzhuang outside the city, including in front of several cousins' houses, recently there were often young people with swords and sticks wandering around and watching, as if there was a desire to catch Li Tai, a posture of venting his hatred for taking his wife.

Among the many voices of public opinion, not all of them were harsh and derogatory towards Li Tai, but there were still some people who could hold fair and objective voices.

After all, no matter how outstanding Dugu Xin was, he was just a powerful army leader who followed the trend. Behind Li Tai was the prestige of the prefecture built by several generations of the Li family in Longxi.

What's more, Li Tai is not a lackluster plagiarism. Even if the populace does not understand the benefits his various proposals have brought to Taiwan government politics, the deeds of killing the thief Hu in northern Shaanxi for two consecutive years are enough. Surpass most of the time flow of the same age.

Although all kinds of discussions in the public are lively, apart from making Li Tai's travel a little troublesome, it is not enough to cause any practical troubles.However, the people close to him were caught off guard and were implicated to a greater or lesser extent.

In the middle of the first month of the year, more than a dozen knights drove into Gao Zhongmi Situ's mansion in a carriage.

As soon as the car stopped, a young general in armor rushed out of the car and jumped off the car. He looked around with a staff in both hands, and shouted loudly: "Where is Li Boshan? Get out and give me an explanation! You want to marry It’s just a bride, why do you want to offend the people in Beijing and make them surround and beat me outside the city? Is it wrong that I am a child of the Li family..."

Li Tai was already walking around the corridor, but before he turned around the corner, he heard Li Licheng's mournful and indignant roar, he knew that it was inappropriate to see each other right now, so he turned back again.

Li Licheng yelled in the courtyard for a while and didn't see Li Tai. He became even more annoyed in his heart, and went to the inner courtyard despite the persuasion of his slaves. After passing through the first floor of the courtyard wall, he was immediately taken aback by the situation here.

I saw that in this small courtyard, more than a dozen powerful soldiers were neatly dressed, with bows and knives in each hand, and the light of the swords and armor complemented each other, making the whole courtyard full of chilling aura.

"What, what is this going to do?"

After Li Licheng was surprised for a moment, he saw Li Tai who was also in military uniform in the first row, and hurriedly asked.

"Xiaoxie has no more to say. I already know about the humiliation you suffered on the way home. Since the incident happened because of me, I have no shirkable responsibility. Now I will attack and take revenge, and wash away the humiliation Xiaoxie suffered with the blood of all scoundrels!"

Li Tai stepped forward, patted Li Licheng on the shoulder with a serious and murderous expression, and said in a deep voice.

"This, this doesn't have to be..."

When Li Licheng saw Li Tai looking like he was about to kill, most of the resentment in his heart dissipated, and then he became worried again. He stopped Li Tai and advised, "Don't, don't. Although they surrounded me, It’s just beating up a few family slaves, if you want to kill and retaliate because of this, it’s still a little bit, Boshan, you are about to do something good, how can you commit murder in Beijing because of such a trivial matter?”

Li Tai refused to give up, and still wanted to lead the crowd out to take revenge. Li Licheng changed from asking for an explanation aggressively at the beginning, to giving persuasive advice. He was so tired that his forehead was sweating, and Li Taicai finally generously expressed that he no longer cares , With the help of Li Licheng, he took off his armor and moved into the house.

After all this trouble, Li Licheng never dared to mention the bad things before, but he himself was full of gossip and curiosity, sat opposite Li Tai and stared and asked: "Boshan, tell me the truth, is it true as the rumors say?" Because of Grand Master He Ba's care for you, Duke Hanoi treats you differently? Did you know about this twists and turns before? Also, when did Duke Hanoi tell you..."

Hearing Li Licheng's repeated questions, Li Tai couldn't help rolling his eyes.During this period of time, there have been quite a few people who have asked him about similar topics, such as Li Licheng, who are just curious and gossipy, but people like Yu Wenhu who have deep meanings come to ask him, which makes him tired of dealing with it.

He didn't expect his marriage to cause such a storm, as if everyone suddenly turned into the village intelligence team, and they must reveal the whole story of this matter to the investigation.

If any one thing breaks away from the original category and shows an extraordinary enthusiasm, then you have to think carefully about whether there is any malicious driving force behind it.

Especially in the intricate situation of the Western Wei Dynasty, there are many spaces for conspiracies to breed, so it is really better to believe what is there, not to believe what is not.

At least as far as Li Tai himself is concerned, he can clearly feel that someone is promoting this matter and guiding it in a long-planned direction.Although it can't be said that he has wronged himself, but those who deliberately guide him obviously have bad intentions towards him.

Before Duguxin made a clear statement, Li Tai had always been known as an upstart in the Taiwan government, a confidant who was cultivated by Daxingtai, and so on, but now he suddenly became Duguxin's beloved son-in-law. There is too much room for extension and play.

Regardless of whether Yu Wentai intended to recruit Li Tai as his son-in-law before, it was always difficult to accept this matter, whether it was emotionally or intellectually.

So when the public opinion in the outside world is full of envy for Li Tai, Li Tai, who is at the center of the incident, has gains and losses.Right now, the gains have not yet been truly presented, but the losses have already occurred.

First of all, he was directly deprived of his position as a general of the military guard on the afternoon of the afternoon when Dugu Xin announced his marriage contract years ago.

On the one hand, it should be because Yu Wentai was a little angry and overreacted. On the other hand, he also meant to kill a chicken for the monkey to see, implying that the emperor, you should stop thinking about the generals of the guards. Whoever makes me feel wrong, just take it down. No negotiation!

The loss of General Wuwei's official position is just the beginning. On the day of the Grand Court Meeting in January, Li Tai was called to the Liuzhi Yatang in the government office as a Zhonglang in the Taifu. He was not allowed to participate in the court meeting. , the third division of Yitong is gone, and the title of Marquis of San is gone.

And on the second day of the new year after the end of the Dachaohui, he was also dismissed from the position of Zhonglang in the Taiwan government, including the Dushui envoy and the governor of the Sanfangcheng military.

So far, except for the title of son of Luochuan County, Li Tai only has the titles of Sanqi Changshi, Zhenglu General and Dadudu, but he has been stripped of his powers.At this stage, it looks like a traitor who has been kicked out.

Through a series of sanctions against Li Tai, Yu Wentai can be regarded as a hegemonic official with an iron fist who prospers and perishes. Even if you were my little cutie before, as long as you go against my will , I will still sweep you out of the house and leave the house clean!
Of course, if Yuwentai's means only stop here, then he is not Yuwentai.

Although this series of blows against Li Tai is awe-inspiring, it is inevitable that there will be suspicions of undermining internal unity. The sense of boundary is too harsh and strict. Then how will the generals who are in charge of the government control their subordinates in the future?

To be Duguxin's son-in-law is to become a traitor to the Taiwan government. So what kind of existence is Duguxin in the Western Wei Dynasty and in your Yu Wentai's mind?
So when Li Tai was dizzy by the sanction, new rewards and appointments followed: Duguxin was subordinate to the second prefect Shi and also led the prefect of Tianshui County, and was granted the title of Governor of Fangcheng and the governor of Tianshui, Lueyang and other five counties. military.

In addition, there is another personnel appointment that is more interesting: Zhao Yongguo, the eldest son of Zhao Gui, the Duke of Zhongshan County, is still loyal and commendable despite his disability.

Li Tai's change of official position, if the factor of the father-in-law Duguxin is not taken into account, it would be a very big promotion in terms of power.

In the past, he was an official of the Taiwan government, and he was also in charge of the capital water and the Fangcheng military. Although the scope of his powers was also very wide, he never had any leading and decision-making power.

The reason why he can fully exercise his power is based on the full cooperation of the states and counties along the Luoshui River. Cui Xi, Li Mu and others have spared no effort in supporting him.

But if these personnel support ceased to exist, no matter how sophisticated his personnel plan was, the room for him to implement it would be greatly reduced.After all, in addition to the Taiwan government's policy inclination, he has very little room to intervene in local character resources. It can be said that a clever woman can't cook without rice.

Now he is the official residence of Duguxin Second Mansion Chief Shi, that is, the chief staff of Huqi Mansion and Qinzhou Governor's Mansion, which means that in the faction of Dugu Xin, he is the biggest besides the boss of Dugu Xin.

Besides Duguxin's chief of staff, he also leads the prefect of Tianshui County.Tianshui was originally a large county in Longyou, the seat of Qinzhou's prefecture, and also the hub for governing the entire Longyou.

Li Tainian was in charge of one side before he lost his crown, and this kind of geographical center is almost unique in the entire Kansai.

If you add the governor of Fangcheng and the military forces of the five counties in Longyou to the prefectural government of Qinzhou, then Li Tai's position and authority in Longbian can be said to be a small Duguxin.

In other words, under the blessing of this series of official positions, Li Taizhi and Duguxin are almost equivalent to Yuwen Daozhi and Yu Wentai.Once Dugu Xin leaves town due to an accident or some illness or accident occurs, then Li Tai can immediately take over Dugu Xin's duties.

This kind of status and treatment is completely different from the three-defense city that Li Tai worked so hard to create before. He is truly the No. [-] figure in Longyou.Even looking at the entire Western Wei Dynasty, the personnel resources that can be controlled in theory can be ranked first!

But the question is, who wants to have a subordinate who can replace him at any time by his side?Even the emperor had to guard against the crown prince to avoid being robbed of power, not to mention that Li Tai and Duguxin were not father and son.

Moreover, Duguxin has been in Longbian for many years, and his subordinates must have a series of complete and stable personnel arrangements, which cooperate with each other and restrict each other. After several years of running-in, they have become orderly.

But now Li Tai stepped in hastily, and occupied several important positions at once, which would definitely greatly disturb the personnel order, and Duguxin's staff and subordinates would really be calm and happy to see a young man parachuted directly on top of them Domineering?

But Yu Wentai didn't care about that, aren't you Weng and his son-in-law?Lao Tzu arranged for you in one step, isn't this what you are happy to see?

No matter how much Duguxin tried his best to rectify the personnel order and relieve the grievances of his subordinates, what should Li Tai do to gain a foothold in Longyou and change his embarrassing situation, these are the next very troublesome issues.

If there is one thing to be happy about, it is that Yu Wentai did not let go of Zhao Gui who was stirring up the flames, and directly gave Zhao Gui and his son to the stallion.

Li Tai also has no actual evidence to prove that Zhao Gui is fanning the flames, but if someone is playing tricks on him behind the scenes, it is most likely Zhao Gui.Moreover, what Yu Wentai did was also a very directional hint, it was this old boy who did it!
This move is not without viciousness. If you kill my son-in-law, then I will kill your son, so that the blood of your family will flow with the blood of my family.By the way, if you hadn't provoked me, I wouldn't have done too much with Duguxin. Now I've come to my senses, but the matter has come to this point, I should slap you twice as an apology.

From Zhao Gui's point of view, the eldest son is already a waste, and staying at home is not of much value except to have children.

But today, even though he has lost his son, he finally has a job in the system. If the job goes well, he can help his brother by the way, which is tantamount to recycling waste.After all, if the eunuchs are really big, their career prospects will not be limited to the palace, and the title of Yinzi is not a problem.
