Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

There is an endless stream of visitors to Duguxin's home. Most of them are received by the family's generals and staff in the front hall, but there are also some who are of high status and need to be brought into the central hall to be entertained by the host himself.

So once the banquet in the main hall was opened, it immediately became a flowing banquet. Guests came and went as they pleased, and they changed several times from morning to evening. Even Dugu Xin and Li Tai alternately left the banquet and exited the event to sober up. .

But there was only one guest who was seated most securely, that was the big-mouthed He Ruoden. The food and wine on the table in front of him had been changed several times, but he still sat in his seat and never left.

When Li Tai saw He Ruodun like this, he couldn't help but sigh secretly. Nowadays, since the days of peace and prosperity when horses are released to Nanshan and swords and guns are stored in storage, brave generals like He Ruodun are undoubtedly the most precious talents, and they are not unknown. Even Daxing Taidu knew that he was brave, but he still looked depressed, which shows the impact of bad breath on a person's future.

Of course, Li Tai himself is not a very likable guy. Just one test method offended most of the Taiwan government staff, but he is both forward-looking and systematic in his work, so he can ignore the feelings of his colleagues. How, because you can open up new career fields at any time without being hindered by others.

But He Ruodun obviously did not have such talent. Even if Yu Wentai wanted to promote him because of his bravery, he must at least have proven merit. Otherwise, even if he was promoted, he would be just a lucky minister who could not convince the public.

It wasn't until late at night that Weng and his son-in-law saw off the last wave of guests, including He Ruoden, who had been relying on the table to eat. Seeing that everyone had left, they could only get up and say goodbye reluctantly.

The middle hall was full of alcohol. After sending the guests away, Dugu Xin led Li Tai to the side hall to sit down, drink tea, sober up, and chat for a while.

"From what I saw in your conversation today at the banquet, it seems that you also appreciate the son of the He Ruo family quite a lot?"

Dugu Xin had lived in the south of the Yangtze River for several years, and he had a little habit of drinking tea. He took a sip of the rich tea soup, looked at Li Tai and said with a smile.

"I still have to learn from my parents. What qualifications do I have to appreciate the brave warriors whose names were passed down when they were recommended?"

After hearing this, Li Tai quickly shook his head and said, it is difficult to say clearly that the person he admires is He Ruobi, the son of He Ruoden. As for this Laozi, he is still a bit arrogant to say that he appreciates it, and he may not be able to control it. If he calls this master T into his team Come on, maybe all this money will be wiped out by that guy's mouth.

"Haha, don't belittle yourself. Guan Daxingtai has great expectations and appreciation for your appointment."

As soon as Dugu Xin said these words, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little weird.

After Li Tai's appointment was issued, Weng and his son-in-law have been avoiding this embarrassing topic, but what has happened always needs to be faced. And if some of the thoughts and feelings in your heart are not expressed honestly, they will most likely become a knot in your mind if they accumulate.

Li Tai quickly straightened his posture as if to listen to the teachings, while Dugu Xin sighed again and said: "He Ruodun visited me today. I know what he wants in his heart. If I had rewarded his bravery before, I would be happy to accept him as a pioneer. But now it is difficult to arrange for my subordinates. This disciple is very brave, but his temperament is often paranoid and idiotic, and it is difficult for my subordinates to get along well with the people. There is a problem that needs to be solved, and there is really no room for him. ”

After hearing this, Li Tai suddenly felt a little ashamed. The so-called trouble naturally refers to him. Although it was brought on by Dugu Xin himself and had nothing to do with him directly, a family that does not speak the same language must always face each other. right.

He didn't know the specific situation inside Duguxin's subordinates at the moment, so he couldn't say anything directly, so he lowered his head and said: "Daxingtai intends to highlight the regulations on the appointment of ministers in the Taifu government. I happened to have this intention and got it." I feel really uneasy about the award, and I don't dare to go to the Jiantai Mansion to give me the award, but I am afraid to accept it. I hope that my father-in-law will be considerate of the matter and that I can be restored to full rank with my merits and demerits balanced. "

The exercise and distribution of power has been the most sensitive issue since ancient times. Although Li Tai and Dugu Xin are close to each other, they are neither father and son, nor even official son-in-law. What should be said must be made clear to ensure that there is no conflict between them. There will be secret suspicion.

First of all, I am passive in this matter. Daxingtai gave this order in order to use his subordinates to check and balance the officials of the prefectures and counties in charge. He did not place me next to you specifically. At least that's how I see it. I have no other thoughts about it. I just want to hang out and get rid of this embarrassing position.

"Oh, it's hard for you. Fortunately, it's you. It would be difficult for other Shiliu young men to see things so clearly as you, Boshan. Daxingtai is indeed using a plan to act hastily, but Boshan, you It is clear from what we have seen that if we work together, we will be able to put things right and calm down the chaos as soon as possible.”

Human nature has always been complicated. It is true that Dugu Xin appreciates and values ​​Li Tai very much, but he is not willing to give up his position of authority and everything he has worked for half his life to fulfill Li Tai right now. After hearing Li Tai's answer, Feeling quite pleased in his heart, he raised his hand and patted his shoulder and said in a deep voice.

Daxingtai's plan was not without its evil deeds, and it could even be said to have laid the foundation for a long-term rift between Weng and his son-in-law.

With a single order, Li Tai was directly placed as the heir to his power and power. If Dugu Xin was slightly alienated from his son-in-law in the future, it might make him feel resentful.

At the same time, how to arrange Li Tai's authority and position under his command will also make Duguxin worried. If many important personnel are handed over without precautions, then with Li Tai's talents and means, it will not take too long. Can actually eliminate or even replace oneself.

But if we are wary of everything, refuse to share any actual power, and fall back on the old path of mutual suspicion and drifting apart, then what is the meaning of this marriage? Just to set up an imaginary enemy close at hand?

Duguxin has recently been thinking about how to break the evil arrangement of Daxingtai, but no matter what he plans to do, the most important thing is to understand what Li Tai thinks.

Hearing that Li Tai was not obsessed with the temporary rise in power and could still remain calm and rational, Dugu Xin felt relieved and felt that he had not misjudged the person.

After criticizing Dahangtai, he then said: "Put aside other miscellaneous matters, I am actually very happy for Dahangtai to make this arrangement. Everyone knows about your business construction in Beizhou, and I have talked about it before." I wanted to summon you to serve, but gave up because you had your own plans.

Although I have encountered some twists and turns now, I have finally returned to my original wish. However, the situation in Longbian is not the same as in Beizhou. It has been a long time since my subordinates have been in charge of their own affairs. Rushing the deployment will inevitably lead to loss of harmony. The sudden addition of everything will be too harsh on you. You need to make a calm transition to ensure Nothing goes wrong. "

"My father-in-law, please rest assured about this. Although I am young and thirsty for merit, I also know that things are necessary and I will do what I can. If the affairs of the other country can be handed over in a hurry, why bother to make my father-in-law and all the talented people manage the border for many years? This trip When you follow, you should only keep your eyes open and speak quietly, learn first and then follow the law, and never force yourself to take the lead and see the evil of the masses."

The matter in Longbian was beyond Li Tai's plan, and he did not have any big plans to go to Longyou to implement. He knew that Duguxin had his own order, so he would not act arbitrarily or seize power and destroy it. Anyway, this mess of personnel will be in his hands sooner or later!

Li Tai had no objections or ideas here, and Dugu Xin felt relieved, so he smiled and said: "The situation at Longbian is delicate. We need to return to the town within a month. If you have any other personnel that need to be adjusted, then Call us to Beijing as soon as possible."

The situation in Longbian showed bad signs last year. Duguxin had already reached a consensus with Daxingtai on this matter. However, because of Li Tai's incident, Daxingtai's attitude changed slightly. He probably felt that Yu Wen Zhonghe could still save him, so he He postponed the announcement of some matters and sent envoys to summon Yuwen Zhonghe.

"The tribes under my sect are still sending envoys to Beizhou for dispatch, and they will go to the town alone first. If there is really a lack of talent, it will not be too late to send the envoys again."

After hearing this, Li Tai said again that he had not planned to lead too many troops to Long.

When Dugu Xin heard this, his expression suddenly became gentler, so he smiled and said: "In that case, you will stay in the mansion recently, just in time to check and sort out the supplies allocated by the Taifu, and send them away in batches. Error period.”

Li Tai shook his head in embarrassment and said, "I'm afraid I can't obey the order. The date of my return to Longbian has not yet been determined. I want to escort my wife back to Huazhou first, and then rush back to Beijing to obey the order."

After hearing this, Dugu Xin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled broadly: "That's what it should be, that's what it should be. I'm so focused on things, but I've neglected Shao Ai's affection. Fortunately, you have a connection with me in Boshan. If you have something in mind, go and go!”
