Northern Dynasties

Chapter 584 Recreating the Hot Summer

After all, some things have to be experienced in person to understand deeply. How others explain and describe will lack a lot of details and immersive feelings.

As early as after the reunion in Mianbei, Li Tai told his father about the complicated personnel situation in Kansai, and he was also in a very important position in this complicated situation.

Although Li Xiao had heard about this, he still didn't care much about it. He just felt that his son's so-called complicated personnel or important position might be a bit exaggerated, and he probably seemed to be bragging in front of his father.

However, since arriving in Huazhou yesterday, Li Xiaofan has seen the personnel and affairs, especially the court and Taiwan government vying to win him over in Daxingtai Neifu, and he realized that what his son said was true, even true. Not yet.

Although Li Xiao is not good at being sophisticated and following others, he is also from a well-dressed clan after all. Before the Li family in Longxi suffered a catastrophe in the early years, the precepts and deeds of the relatives of the same clan, the influence of his peers, and his past experience in the court, even It does not have much political wisdom, but it is also a matter of experience.

There are many personnel disputes in Kansai, others can be ignored for the time being, but the contradictions between the imperial court and the overlord must be taken seriously, and you must find your own position and position among them.

This is Li Xiao's deep understanding as a person who has experienced the changes in Heyin and the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and he knows that there is no room for sloppy in this matter.

After pondering for a while, Li Tai looked at his father and said, "Aye, how old is my son?"

Hearing this question, Li Xiao sighed and said: "In the old years of Wutai, the Erzhu clan tortured and killed the public servant in Heyin, and your surviving relatives, such as Ye Niang, fled in haste. My son was born in the autumn of that year. He left with his father when he tied his hair. Xiang, now has stepped into the weak crown, and has become a truly high-spirited adult husband in the world!"

Li Tai was born in 528 when the Heyin Incident occurred. Now it is the 14th year of Datong and the end of 548. However, his father had already presided over his crowning ceremony in Qinghe Township, and the father and son did not agree with it. What a pity.

"Yeah, my son has not reached the crown for a long time. Although the status is high, the future is still long. Aye asked me who I should follow. It is not easy to answer this matter. There are many people and things are not constant. Perhaps this question and answer should not be asked. Instead, I should ask, who can accommodate me?"

When Li Tai said this, he couldn't help but secretly sighed, it turned out that he had become quite powerful before he knew it.

Although two options were proposed in his father's question, there is actually no obvious difference to him: "No matter which side is involved, the old master or the confidant, and the young master must be a strong minister, even if he compromises, I'm afraid they won't be able to live in peace. To form a nest to protect oneself is to have the thought of disobedience, and if you want to kill yourself, you will inevitably make people laugh."

When Li Xiao heard this answer, he was a little dumbfounded for a while. He still focused on the very obvious and seemingly irreconcilable contradictions between the imperial court and the hegemony, and was entangled in the choice between the two, but he did not expect The son's vision is more long-term, and the new problems that arise are also terrible.

"This, this is just an extremely bad situation, it may not necessarily come true..."

Saying this, Li Xiao's heart also started to beat. Since the Mutiny of the Six Towns, it seemed that all the hostility that had been suppressed for a long time in the world had been released. The defeated soldiers were able to cross the great river that even failed to get their hands on the horses when the Northern Wei Dynasty was the most powerful, and directly surrounded the city of Taicheng.

After a moment of silence, Li Xiao opened his mouth and said hesitantly: "Since my son had a premonition, with your ingenuity, you must be able to deal with it. Since then, you have been humble and self-confident, and made good friends in the world, just like Sikong Wen and Duke Mu back then. Only by living in this way can we get the best of both worlds.”

Li Tai laughed when he heard this, knowing that it would be difficult for his father to accept the real plan in his heart in a short time, after all, not everyone in this world is as rebellious as him.

Options such as those proposed by his father only oscillate between the imperial court and the tyrant's government, and there is no such option as self-reliance.Today, he used Li Chong's deeds to encourage him, but in fact, even Li Xiao himself was a little uncertain whether the wisdom of the predecessors was still effective in this troubled world.

"In troubled times, if you seek life, if you don't advance, you will retreat. My son is a person with a bow and knife. If you keep a low profile and don't fight when things happen, how is it different from waiting to be killed? Besides, there are many subordinates who serve me to seek merit. Although I have gradually become famous They are successful and famous, but these kinds of people are still eager to make progress. If they fail to live up to the sentiments of others, how can they be at ease?"

It always takes a process for people to know and understand each other. Li Tai was busy with military and political affairs when he was in Jingzhou, and he didn't communicate much with his father.

He knew that his father was just an ordinary person whose knowledge and status in this world did not exceed his own background and class, and he was not even as capable as Brother Cui Qian.But since he is a close relative, it is also necessary for his father to understand his own ambitions.

"Aye said before that no one can be said to share the ups and downs. It is true. Although my son has a few deeds to boast about, he is still far away from the road. Aspirations must be high, and steps will lead to a long distance."

When Li Tai said this, his demeanor became serious and serious: "Since the reign of Emperor Yongjia of the Jin Dynasty, Shenzhou has fallen, the morals of the world have fallen, and the five Hus have flourished in succession, and their clothes are still alive. And for a while, it is still unavoidable that the soldiers rioted and the world was uneasy.

The world has been in turmoil for more than two hundred years, bones have been smashed into mud, and the flames of war have never ceased.Among them, there are always some sufferings that are interlinked and empathetic.If I'm just a junior, I don't know how to live and struggle to survive.

But today's talent, power and position do not allow me to be lost in the crowd. Although morality is important, someone must take it up, so that the people who uphold righteousness and weak power can take shelter under them.Although I can't share the ups and downs, I still bend, stretch and leap within morality.Overlords and imperial courts need their own shortcuts to follow me, not me to abandon the way and follow them.

Today, when Aye asked, I boldly expressed my wish, I want to mend the sky and fill up the cracks, and rebuild the hot summer!Although the words are arrogant, but the deeds have been testing.More than two hundred years of troubled times, blood and tears can be pooled into lakes, and corpses can be piled up as hills. This mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood always needs someone to fill it. If I don't do it, who else can I look up to? "

Li Xiao couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard his son's generous self-reported wish. Although he also opened his mouth, he didn't make any sound for a long time.

After a while, he finally started laughing. The laughter became more and more joyful. He pointed to Li Tai and said to Li Zhusheng, "Did you see it? Did you hear it? This is my son. The great ambition he made! Heh, who would have thought that Li Xiao, who survived the catastrophe and hid himself in the countryside, would be able to give birth to and raise such an extremely arrogant madman who dared to take the world as his own responsibility! If our family does not thrive because of it, It is bound to perish because of it! In troubled times, the rise and fall of famous clans is just common, but if we can share this great ambition and grand scheme, what regret would it be if we die?"

Li Tai looked at his father's high-five and agitated expression, but he didn't expect that he could be so powerful with his words, but his excitement was nothing more than that. It's really unlucky to talk about death, so he said again: " With lofty aspirations, down-to-earth, bold words and prudent deeds, nothing is impossible. Although the body bears the weight of Mount Tai, the heart is also sympathetic to the smallness of the mayfly. Going out with a sword can save the world. Aye didn't give him food?"

No matter how loud the cowhide is blowing, it doesn't matter how full it is. Li Tai got up early in the morning and trained first. He exercised a lot, but he hadn't had time to eat. He was really hungry at the moment.

When Li Xiao heard this, he immediately burst out laughing, and couldn't help sighing: "Perhaps I'm used to it in the past, and I'm self-confident, and I don't think there is anything strange about my son. When we meet again after goodbye My words are miraculous and surprising. No wonder the people in Kansai think that I am well-educated and eager to contribute to their children. Although I am ashamed of my enthusiasm, if I just refuse to respond, I will inevitably be resented. It’s just that I cherish myself with a broom, how will I deal with myself in the future?”

This is not a problem that Li Tai needs to face. His father is also a good travel friend in China who has traveled around the world.

While the father and son were chatting, Gao Zhongmi and other hangover guests who stayed at home also got up one after another. Li Tai and his father dined with these guests again, and by the way, discussed how to greet yesterday's guests warmly. Shiliu family members return the gift and thank you.

It is obviously unrealistic to visit family by family, otherwise Li Tai would not have to do anything when he came back, he would just visit relatives and friends every day, and he still had to find a reason to bring everyone together to express his heart.

Li Tai also had a plan for this. The Taiwan government and the imperial court successively expressed their positions to enlist his father as an official, but he didn't want his father to be caught in it.After all, he can't avoid it if he wants to be in power, but his father doesn't need it. Even if he doesn't serve as a high-ranking official in the court, he may be able to become a Supreme Emperor in the coming year by staying at home. Why bother to look at people's faces.

However, his father was not too old. Even in his later years, he wanted to have a career to boast about. The most suitable arrangement for him was the position of teaching and lecturing.

Li Tai planned to simply build a private school on Longshouyuan in Chang'an, and let his father be the principal.He didn't know what his father's specific academic level was, because it was beyond his level of cognition, and even his second brother Li Chao was more educated than him.But regardless of his father's academic level, the thousands of volumes of books brought back from Jingzhou alone are enough to bluff Kansai's time.

The place and houses on Longshouyuan are all ready-made, and Li Tai had some similar ideas before, and ordered Li Licheng, Li Xiaoyong and others to arrange the layout, so it only needs to be tidied up and the business can be opened directly.At that time, posting a post to Shiliu's family, and holding a school opening ceremony will also serve multiple purposes.
