Northern Dynasties

This question can be described as tricky and vicious.Dugu Xin frowned even more after listening, and remained silent for a long time.

Obviously, he felt that the situation Li Tai proposed was possible, and he really had no better way to deal with it.

After being silent for a long time, Dugu Xincai said again: "Nowadays, the fortunes of the country are difficult and the bandits are rampant. Therefore, all those who have both loyalty, courage, and willpower take the rejuvenation of the great unification as their own responsibility. How can we be suspicious of each other when the big things are not resolved?" , Stop people from working hard! If there are really evil passions that cannot be tolerated, I will resign myself, and I will never be greedy for power and trouble the country!"

These words can be said to be profoundly righteous and touching, but they are also out-and-out insincere.If Dugu Xin could really tolerate and serve the country so peacefully, why did he call him to see him in a hurry because of Li Xian?

But it is the most basic tacit understanding and etiquette in adults' daily communication to see through and not tell. Li Tai would not carefully break Dugu's letter. If there is no thief in my heart, it is difficult to prove it. On the eve of the war, I shouldn't say such things to disturb my husband's heart, but the worries in my heart are revealed in my words and deeds unconsciously."

"So you took the initiative to attract Li Xianhe close, just to set up eyes and ears to prove my innocence?"

After hearing the words, Dugu Xin frowned and said, obviously he can't accept such an explanation, he is indeed a little worried that all kinds of slander against him will arise in the middle school, but there is no need to take the initiative to put other people's minions and sharp blades in his heart .If he really wants to do this, he might as well just raise his own dignity!

Of course, Li Tai's logic is not so simple. After hearing the words, he shook his head, and continued to say seriously: "My father-in-law has the current position, and he deserves it. There is no doubt about it. Evil theories, the wise are hard to deceive, the benevolent are contemptuous, and there is no need to prove anything? Right and wrong have their own opinions, and punishments and rewards have their own rules. If demonic words can confuse the people, it will be the downfall of the world!"

Dugu Xin nodded subconsciously when he heard this, but he quickly recalled that you have said all the truth and irony about his feelings, so do I want to prove it or not, innocent or not?

Seeing Dugu Xin's speechless expression, Li Tai felt happy again. It's not because you are guilty and eager to explain, if you haven't imagined this possibility in your heart, you should just spit back when I just said it Well, why do you need to explain more seriously?
"Yuwen Zhonghe rebelled according to the city, but everyone rebelled against their relatives. Although Guazhou is set to resume chaos, it must be sure that there will be riots in the near future. Although the disturbance in various borders is due to the fact that his father-in-law sits in Longbian and his prestige deters the masses, it will not be a major disaster. But the people near and far are tired of thinking about peace and unwilling to follow the thieves' thoughts and public opinion, which is also clearly visible."

Li Tai said again, aside from the compliments to Dugu Xin, the lack of public opinion foundation is also one of the reasons why the riots in these two prefectures are difficult to grow. The evil fire is also exhausted.

Dugu Xin has been in Longyou for many years, and he is also deeply touched by the change of people's opinions. He nodded after hearing the words: "That's right, the people here have been in chaos for many years, and they think of peace and happiness. Anyone who is disturbed will go against your father. , undermining the people, doomed not to last long..."

He was originally answering Li Tai's question, but when he said this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he sighed secretly, although he was commenting on others, why wasn't he telling himself?
In the final analysis, it is very difficult for anyone who wants to separate himself from Longyou Hexi in any way.Of course the rich families in the local area can't do it, but Fang Mu ministers like him appointed by the imperial court and the hegemony's government are even more hopeless!

Guan and Long were originally one, and the reason why Longyou was able to form its own order in the past was because the order in Guanzhong had completely collapsed and completely lost its ability to attract Longyou characters.

Although the current situation is not very good, the Western Wei Dynasty has passed the most difficult period, and the personnel exchanges and interactions between Longyou and Guanzhong have become closer again.

This was originally a trend that Duguxin had promoted and witnessed with his own eyes in the town for many years. Before that, he was a bit of a fan of the authorities, but after being reminded by Li Tai, he also realized that the current focus is not whether he has the heart of autocracy or not. , but this possibility does not exist at all.

Seeing that Dugu Xin fell silent, Li Tai sighed inwardly again, it is very difficult for a person to recognize and face the reality that he does not want to see.

However, the development of things will not be stagnated because people turn a blind eye and refuse to admit it. Instead of being forced by a crueler reality and having to admit and accept a worse situation, it is better to prepare early and take the initiative to seek an acceptable situation. situation.

"Li Xianhe is talented and loyal at the same time. Whether he is in the court or in the field, he has accumulated a good reputation. It is said that those who are good at riding will envy famous horses, and those who are good at governing will reward talents. Under my command, I really don't know any reason to refuse!"

When Dugu Xin heard this, his brows twitched immediately, his face showed a hesitant expression, because he knew that Li Tai was by no means a pedantic and dull person, so he continued to listen patiently.

"The folks in Xizhou are open-minded and generous. There are many righteous people like Li Xianhe who don't want to stay in the countryside all their lives. Nowadays, all the affairs in the country are waiting for camp, and talents are frequently in short supply, but the righteous people in the countryside are hard to avoid. There is no way to contribute, and there is no mutual understanding. The father-in-law guards the land and herdsmen here, and it is also his job to raise talents for the country. If all the talented people in Xizhou go out of the father-in-law's family and enter the middle school in the coming year, the reputation of the master will also be true. Well deserved!"

When Li Tai spoke up to this point, he couldn't help but raise his tone of voice, which made the words more passionate and contagious.

Duguxin is very wary of Li Xian, which in Li Tai's view is a bit redundant.It is true that the Li family in Gaoping has a strong hometown, but no matter how you look at it, the current Li Xian is still lower than Dugu Xin by more than one level, and there is really no close competition between them.

Therefore, Duguxin strictly guards against death and does not want Li Xian to infiltrate influence in Longyou, which is actually of little significance.What he really needs to care about and guard against is that after the battle in Liangzhou, Yuwentai will control and arrange the overall personnel in Longyou Hexi to strive for greater benefits and reduce possible losses.

Today's Longyou is no longer able to form a military separatist regime to fight against Guanzhong, and as long as Dugu Xin dares to make the slightest attempt to show any traces, he will have to bear great political risks, and it is very likely that he will fight with the hegemony of the Western Wei Dynasty and the Yu Wentai and other Wuchuan township parties broke up completely.

Under such circumstances, to be honest, there are not many effective choices that can be made. The most important thing is to adjust your mentality and raise your horizons. You should no longer just be obsessed with military and political management and personnel scheduling in Longyou, but should take the initiative Join in the creation of the new order in Guanlong.

Li Tai's suggestion to Duguxin is that you should stop thinking about using Longyou as a basic board to manage and control it. Anyway, it will not form an actual separatist regime. It is better to actively send out capable people like Longyou and let them They all actively participated in the rule of the overlord, and actively mixed sand with Yu Wentai instead of passively being stabbed.

In this way, Duguxin's actual power may not increase in a straight line, but his influence in the current situation will increase rapidly.

The reason why the Li family in Longxi became the most famous family in the world and was accepted by those Shandong families was not only because Li Chong was very energetic in warming the bed, but also because he understood the principle of strength in numbers and brought many cases deeply involved in national history. The implicated aristocratic families were lifted up again.

Dugu Xin's eyes suddenly became bright when he heard what Li Tai said, and he was very yearning for the bright prospect of "all the talented people from Xizhou go out" described by Li Tai.

But after thinking about it for a while, he shook his head and sighed: "It is my duty to serve the country, but it is also rare to find someone who has both ability and political integrity. It is even rarer. There are many people and affairs in the court, and there are almost no people who can stand there for a long time without changing their hearts..."

Of course, it is impossible to find talents everywhere, and there is one more thing that makes Dugu feel hesitant, that is, Daxingtai's method of buying people's hearts is really clever, and Dugu believes that he has repeatedly suffered from his poaching, and finally dug back a Li Tai , Occasionally doubt whether this kid loves Daxingtai or loves himself more. Now that he is asked to take the initiative to recommend talents to the imperial court and the Bafu, it is inevitable that there will be a little psychological barrier.

But it has to be said that under the circumstances that Daxingtai is not at ease with his autocratic Longyou, Li Tai's suggestion is indeed a good way for Duguxin to expand his influence openly.

Transporting talents from this village to the court can not only show favor to the people here, but also help to form a political force composed of his disciples and old officials in the court and the overlord.Doesn't Daxingtai like to poach corners?Now I offer a large number of Xizhou people for you to dig, I'm afraid you won't be able to wield a hoe!

At this point in the conversation, Dugu Xin's heart knot has been opened. Although he has not completely let go of Li Xian's matter, it is also a grudge against Li Xian, but he no longer complains about Li Tai, but looks relieved He comforted him and said, "I called you to ask this time because I was distracted and short-sighted.

Now that I know that you did not make this decision rashly and rashly, then I can relax and stop worrying about it.Knowing that you are tired from the journey, there is no need to rush to leave for the time being, let's take a rest first, and introduce some generals in the camp to meet each other later.There are also many young men from Longyou in the ranks here, who can be visited and collected as confidantes. "

After Li Tai heard the words, he nodded and heaved a sigh of relief.To be honest, he is still more willing to get along with Dugu Xin. This old man at least knows how to admit his mistakes. If it was Yu Wentai, he would have to stare at him again. Why didn't you say it earlier, I don't blame me for this!
