Northern Dynasties

Chapter 770 The eldest grandson enters the house
Although he felt a little unhappy, this was a normal personnel appointment of the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office. At least Li Tai had no legitimate reason to object to it, so he could only entertain Yu Wenshen in the mansion.

When Yu Wenshen arrived this time, his attitude was modest and kind, and he showed no intention of confronting or competing with Li Tai. He even asked Li Tai to recommend some local people from Jingzhou to serve as his assistants.

Li Tai was not polite about this, and directly selected his disciple Yang Yu and a dozen other assistants in charge of the administration for Yu Wenshen to take away.If Yu Wenshen was just pretending, then these dozen people would inevitably be left idle. If these people were really appointed to important positions, then Yu Wenshen, the governor, would be almost eliminated.

Although he still couldn't figure out the purpose of this arrangement by the Chinese Foreign Affairs Office, it was obviously not a goodwill move, so Li Tai also wanted to test Yu Wenshen's true intentions.

Cui Qian, the original governor of the palace, has not returned yet, but Yu Wenshen, the newly appointed governor of Xizhou, has already entered the town. This situation is undoubtedly a bit strange.

So Li Tai ordered the troops stationed in Rangcheng to go south to gather in Xinye. He also made some adjustments to the personnel of the general manager's office and handed over affairs to Cao Cao. He himself was preparing to leave the city to inspect the borders.

But before he could leave here, another envoy from the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office came to Rangcheng. It turned out to be Yu Wenhu, accompanied by Changsun Jian.

"Boshan, how are you after we've been away for a long time?"

Arriving in front of the general manager's house in the city, Yu Wenhu dismounted his horse and walked forward quickly, looking at the somewhat astonished Li Tai and laughing.

"Unexpected, really unexpected! I can actually meet Brother Sabao here. If Brother Sabao hadn't been more elegant than before and completely different from what I saw in the past, I would have thought we were meeting in a dream!"

Li Tai only reacted at this moment, looking at Yu Wenhu who had an exaggerated expression and said with a smile.

Yu Wenhu felt a little unnatural after hearing this. To be honest, he felt a little guilty about coming to Jingzhou this time. Especially after meeting Li Tai, he couldn't help but feel even more uneasy. He had to hide his feelings with an exaggerated smile. disturbed.

Then Li Tai exchanged a few words with Changsun Jian, and then led a group of people into the main hall of the mansion.

When Yu Wenhu walked through the vestibule of the General Manager's Mansion, he saw some armor and luggage displayed outside, and couldn't help but ask: "Looking at this battle, is Boshan going on a trip? I am waiting for this arrival, and I will disturb you." Are you planning your itinerary?"

"It is true that there are some arrangements, but the chief of staff has a long-term career, and it is difficult for Brother Sabao to entertain this rare guest every day. I will take half a day to treat the distinguished guest!"

After Li Tai heard this, he smiled and said, "I don't know the reason for their visit at the moment. Of course, hospitality is more important than business, but if the conversation later makes him unhappy, you go and have a drink, I still have things to do." !

After hearing this, Yu Wenhu and Changsun Jian looked at each other and briefly communicated with each other.Li Tai looked back coldly, and he couldn't help but have some guesses in his heart.

After sitting down in the hall, they exchanged brief greetings with each other, and then Yuwen Hu looked at Changsun Jian and said: "This time our colleagues are visiting, Changsun Gong and I have important matters, but in comparison, Changsun Gong's matters are more important." Be more urgent.”

After Changsun Jian heard this, he stood up from the table, walked to Li Tai's table, bowed deeply and then bowed. It was no longer a courtesy for daily encounters, but a subordinate paying respects to his superior.

"Why did Changsun Changshi do this?"

Although he had already guessed something in his heart, when he actually saw Changsun Jian doing this courtesy, Li Tai stood up from the table, looked down at the person and said with some displeasure.

"In the past years, I have been in Jingzhou for a long time, but with little success. The Duke of Taiyuan also knows this. Since the Duke of Taiyuan came out of town, every time I come and go here, I see the people, things and scenery changing with each passing day, which is surprising and comfortable! And! I feel ugly every time I hold a humble position. I thought I was conscientious and dedicated to my duties, but when I saw the Duke of Taiyuan taking charge of this town, I realized that I had made a huge mistake in the past!" When Changsun Jian talked about this, his face was already ashamed, and then he became serious again. He said in a loud voice: "I couldn't explain my shame before, but it was ordinary for me to narrowly plan for Taiyuan's official merits. But the fact is like this and the superiority and inferiority are clear. How can I cover up my stupid plan? Now I only hope that Taiyuan Duke can tolerate this ugly thing in the government and let the humble official I must obey the orders of the wise men, regulate this village, create new achievements, and cover up my old ugliness!"

Seeing the eldest grandson Jian's posture being so low, Yu Wenhu couldn't help but frowned, and immediately stood up and said to Li Tai: "Boshan has been living in a foreign town for a long time, and he is unfamiliar with the personnel in the house, or he doesn't know the eldest grandson." Whenever the Duke talks to others about his talents and merits, he will definitely put Bo Shan first. There is no way to hide his admiration. Even someone like me, who has been resigned to being the underdog for a long time, feels quite jealous when he hears this high praise!"

After Li Tai heard this, he rolled his eyes and glanced at Yu Wenhu. It's not like I don't know how big you are. Seeing the cows and sheep eating grass happily, you have to go and take a bite to prove your appetite. The main thing is How strange is it that someone who is stronger would be jealous of me?
He walked around the banquet table, bent down to help Changsun Jian up, and said at the same time: "The remarks made by Changsun Changshi really make me ashamed. To achieve good results in governance lies in the accumulation of predecessors and the efforts of future generations. In the old year The country is weak and besieged by borders. If there is no Changsun Changshi to protect this place, I may not own Jingzhen, and there will be no place for me to gain a foothold in Mianbei. It is really a biased opinion to ignore the past and focus on the present. Changsun Changshi really does not need it. I am ashamed of myself. If you have more good strategies and suggestions for the present, I can do nothing but give way to those who are worthy. Why do you need to be humble for a long time?"

"No, no, this is not what I mean by humble position! The Duke of Taiyuan has outstanding merits. As we all know, it is the people of Jingzhou who are lucky to be governed by him! No one in this world dares to say that he can be better than the Duke of Taiyuan, and he will never give in when he humbles his position. ! This intention is sincere, but I am stuck in words..."

After Changsun Jian heard this, his expression changed again, he hurriedly bowed to the ground again, and spoke incoherently.

When Yu Wenhu next to him saw this scene, he snorted sourly, then looked at Li Tai and said: "Years ago, Cui Shixun came to the government to report something. The Lord felt that he had assisted Boshan and worked hard for many years. He and I discussed matters more and more. He valued his talents, so he invited him to travel with him, inspect river defenses, and wanted to entrust him with state affairs and write a history of China. However, he still thought that Boshan had someone who was incompetent to help him, so Changsun Gong asked him to take his place. Boshan felt that Is Duke Changsun worthy of his replacement?"

Hearing what Yu Wenhu said, Li Tai sighed inwardly, and it turned out to be so.

Cui Qian did not return for a long time after returning to Guanzhong, and no news came back, so Li Tai realized that something was wrong.In the past few years, Cui Qian has served as the governor of the prefecture and then as the governor of the governor's office. He has devoted more attention to the government affairs of the governor's office than Li Tai. Of course, he will not just leave the job quietly and find another job.

Now it seems that it is probably because Yuwentai restricted his communication with the outside world and blocked communication with each other to complete the process of replacing Jingzhou's governor.

Hearing Yu Wenhu's obviously provocative words, Li Taidang smiled and said: "If Brother Sa Bao asks for the appointment, he may have to discuss it. But if it is the eldest grandson, the lord will take care of all the affairs of the government. When he becomes your assistant, I can give him the position regardless of his position, let alone serve as a staff member.

It’s just that since the Lord recommended Changsun Changshi to me, if I can’t repay him with more meritorious service, I will not only live up to the Lord’s kindness, but also bury Changsun Changshi’s talent!I would like to ask Brother Sabao, in your opinion, what kind of plan can we make in the coming year that can be considered as a worthy achievement? "

After Yu Wenhu heard this, he opened his mouth and laughed twice, and then said: "Boshan, you have great wisdom and have always been able to do what others cannot. I, a common man with a shallow mind, really don't know your foresight and foresight." !”

Of course he knew that this incident would greatly offend Li Tai, so when he heard his uncontrollable tone, he did not retaliate tit for tat, but bowed his head slightly.

Li Tai looked at Yu Wenhu for a while, and saw that he turned his head to the side and said nothing. Then he looked back with some boredom, and bent down to help the eldest Sun Jian up. At the same time, he said: "If the eldest grandson, Chang Shi, can come to work with me, I will sweep the couch." Welcome. There is no need for the long history to repeat the past events. The people in the mansion are very strong-willed and are not afraid of the difficulties and hardships of human affairs. They are only afraid of failure in their ambitions! Even I have to be diligent and unremitting in order to control the heroes and run smoothly. The long history is here. In this way, there are no constraints on the left or right, and the merits and demerits are all due to the original intention. If you fall behind others, you should encourage yourself!"

"This is exactly what a humble position would envy... I will definitely live up to Duke Taiyuan's encouragement!"

After hearing this, Changsun Jian nodded vigorously and said. He also knew that this appointment was against Li Tai's wishes, so his attitude was particularly sincere. In his heart, he hoped that he could really make achievements in this appointment, and Not limited to complex personnel struggles, it has become an obstacle to the development of the General Administration.

So when Li Tai said that there would be no personnel disputes or constraints, Changsun Jian felt relieved.The obvious gap between Jingzhou and Jingzhou has become a worry for him. Although he has admitted in his heart that Li Tai is far better than him, he also hopes to narrow the gap slightly through his own efforts instead of being lamented by others about Yunni. judgment.

The fact that Changsun Jian replaced Cui Qian as the general manager Shi was a test that stuck on the edge of Li Tai's bottom line. At least Changsunjian was a suitable candidate. If it was Yuwenhu, he would be purely disgusting. Forced Someone flipped the table.

Then, Li Tai looked at Yu Wenhu and said, "I already know the important matters of Changsun Changshi. Then why did Brother Sabao come here?"
