Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

There is no "if" in the world. At least for Yu Wenhu, there is no chance to come back with all the memories. Even if he has some imagination, he can only turn into helplessness and regret in the end.

Li Tai left Yuwen Hu here. In addition to reuniting him with his mother, Li Tai also had other questions he wanted to ask.

When he saw that his mood had calmed down a little, he looked at Yu Wenhu again and said: "Since I left the mansion last year, I have been living in other states for a long time, and I am also unfamiliar with the people in the mansion. Now I am entrusted by the late Otsuka Zai to handle it. Family affairs, but I am also quite unfamiliar with the people in the sect, so I would like to ask Brother Sabao, in your opinion, who of the sect is worthy of being the heir?"

The inheritance of a title after a person's death originally involves direct lineage and long-term succession. But Yu Wentai's situation is a bit special. He has neither direct descendants nor siblings. Unlike the brothers He Basheng and He Batayue, who only have two male heirs, it is quite a headache for the little carrots under the family to decide who will succeed them. of.

Nowadays, Yu Wenyong, the oldest among Yuwen Tai’s disciples, is only twelve years old. Although his talents shown in history are not bad, it does not require any imperial strategy to inherit the Yuwen family business now, and Yu Wenyong is not a person with long life in history. people. Moreover, Yu Wenyong's direct brother Yu Wenzhi is not a law-abiding person. If this branch becomes dominant, will it bully Yu Wentai's other children in the future?

Based on the performance of the Yuwen family members, Li Tai thinks that Yu Wenxian is a better successor. But his knowledge is limited to his understanding of historical figures. Whether Yu Wenxian is really suitable for the current situation of the Yuwen family, Yuwenhu, the nephew who has long helped Yuwentai handle family affairs, should also have more say.

"Boshan is willing to honor my uncle and pay so much attention to family affairs, which makes me even more ashamed of my past!"

When Yu Wenhu heard Li Tai's question, he couldn't help but sigh.

Regarding Yuwen Tai Airong's treatment, Li Tai can certainly say that he has a clear conscience. As for Yuwen Jue's behavior, he arranged for his people to complete Yu Wentai's funeral before being tortured. Humanity was taken care of.

When discussing the posthumous title of Yuwen Tai, some people suggested that He Ba Yue should be given the posthumous title of Wuzhuang, while others suggested that Huan Wen should be given the posthumous title of Xuanwu. After weighing the situation, Li Tai decided to posthumously grant him the higher rank of Wucheng.

Although Yu Wentai's life experience is also consistent with death in the wilderness and failure of force, his actions in Guanzhong can also be regarded as peace of the people and establishment of government, and in the end, he was able to reluctantly help the prime minister to overcome his death and eliminate the sins of him and his nephew. compartmentalize. As for the posthumous title of Xuanwu, it inevitably imposed an invisible personnel shackles on Yuwentai's sons.

Of course, there are no limits to people's pursuit of morality. Especially when they don't have to bear the cost themselves, they can freely criticize others and demand that others implement higher moral standards. After all, as long as this standard is raised, the commentator himself will gain The pleasure of sublimation.

But many times, people who do things still have to base themselves on reality. If things go too far, they will collapse, and if love goes too far, they will become excessive. Jiangdong Xiao Bodhisattva's lesson is not far away. Such people cannot become Buddhas, but they can also teach people to know when enough is enough.

When things got to this point, Li Tai was willing to ask Yuwen Hu who was more suitable to be Yuwentai's heir, also because he did not regard arranging Yuwentai's family affairs as a temporary show, and wanted to see Yuwentai's family lineage passed down. To achieve this, the main thing is naturally that Yuwentai's descendants must know how to manage the family.

After some thought, Yu Wenhu spoke again and said: "My uncle's ninth breath, Pu Letu, is worthy of being the heir."

"Brother Sabao, are you sure?"

Li Tai really doesn’t know how many sons Yuwentai has, nor what is the situation of this son named Puletu, but as the fourth son, Yuwen Yong is only twelve years old, and as the ninth son, Puletu Letu is naturally smaller.

Yu Wenhu nodded firmly, and then explained to Li Tai: "My uncle has few sons, and it is difficult for anyone to be the heir. It is not so much choosing who to be the heir, but choosing to be the mistress of the family. Pule Tuzhi My mother is Mrs. Xiao Erzhu. In recent years, my uncle has arranged me to take charge of the household affairs. Although she does not have the name of mistress, she has the actual status of mistress. If I choose someone else as my heir, I am afraid there will be hidden conflicts.

What's more, when the young disciples are getting stronger and stronger, Duke Tang's kindness and righteousness have not slackened, so they can still take care of them. Even if they lose their heirs, they still have their own orders and talents to use. With Tang Gong's majesty, this group of disciples can still maintain their prominence and have a worry-free future. "

"Brother Sabao sees things very carefully and clearly, just as you said."

Perhaps only when people abandon their original positions and prejudices can they understand each other more objectively. It was only at the end of the road that Yuwen Hu realized that Li Tai was really loyal and willing to properly arrange his uncle's funeral. Afterwards, he also understood why Yuwentai entrusted Yuwenhu to handle his family affairs for a long time.

The so-called friendship will always fade over time. Li Tai is still willing to take care of Yuwentai's sons. However, as time goes by, Yuwentai's influence weakens, and many years later, he may not be as good as he was at the beginning. kind of concern.

Therefore, even if Yu Wenyong and the other slightly older ones do not succeed, they will inevitably receive some personnel care and will not remain anonymous. And if the younger son doesn't find someone to protect him now, he will probably disappear from everyone when he grows up.

Even if the factor of Xiaoer Zhu's family is not taken into account, the arrangement proposed by Yu Wenhu is deeply in line with human feelings and sophistication. He is really willing to take care of Yu Wentai's family affairs, but when he is in the whirlpool of current politics, people's mood and behavior will be distorted by power.

After putting away the emotion in his heart, Li Tai stood up and dusted off his clothes, then clasped his fists to Yuwenhu and said, "Brother Sa Bao, I will never live this life again. I will also leave a few breaths under your sect and inherit your title to support your benevolent relatives. The rest will be left to the world. There may be a young man who can surpass his father in his endeavors and achieve even greater feats!”

"Thank you so much, Duke Tang! I wish Duke Tang will rule the world and create a prosperous age!"

After hearing this, Yu Wenhu burst into tears and said goodbye.

Li Tai stayed another night in Weinan, and set off for Chang'an the next day. He arrived outside Chang'an City in the evening of New Year's Eve, and then went to Longyuan Academy to stay, preparing to enter the court at dawn tomorrow. Yuan Day Ceremony.

In the evening, when the sky was dark, when Li Tai drove into the academy, he saw someone kneeling outside the academy door. He did not stop and wait and see. When he drove into the entrance hall, he summoned the generals who were staying here and asked what was going on in front of the door. Then he found out that it was Gao Ping Li Xian and his former general Hou Mo Chen Qiong who had left yesterday. and today successively came to the academy to kneel down and beg to see the Foreign Minister.

Li Tai then took the notices submitted by the two people from their families, which briefly stated why they wanted to see them. What Li Xian said was more complicated, while Hou Mo and Chen Qiong only said that he hoped that Tang Gong would meet him to talk about the past of Shannan.

After Li Tai read it, he sneered, threw Hou Mo Chen Qiong's greeting card out of the car, and told his family: "Go and sue him. We are busy with internal and external affairs at the moment and have no time to reminisce about the past. After everything is decided for the coming year, we will call again." Meet him at the mansion."

Hou Mo and Chen Qiong came here to ask for an audience, just to intercede for his brother again. But this approach makes Li Tai even more dissatisfied. It has nothing to do with nostalgia for the past. These people feel that when they enter the court, do they want to be powerful ministers of the government, or do they want to be the irritated little daughter-in-law who listens to your complaints and complaints? I had talked about it with Hou Mo and Chen Chong before, but I still couldn’t figure it out!

On the other hand, although Li Xian has been staying in Yuanzhou Township and away from the center of power, he understands the current situation better than the Hou Mochen brothers. So after Li Tai got off the bus at the academy, the staff introduced Li Xian and others in to meet them.

"The criminal Li Xian, together with one hundred and thirty-six of his men and women, set out for the capital on the day he knew he was guilty. He entered the capital yesterday. Everyone, young and old, is waiting outside the door to be sentenced by Duke Tang!"

Li Xian's beard and hair were messy, his face was pale and haggard, and his lips were cracked and covered with blood stains. After entering the hall, he held a name book in both hands and bowed in front of Li Tai's table. At the same time, he continued: "Xian really doesn't know about the disputes in the former house. He only heard that his brother is far away." My nephew Zhi returned to report to the Turks. He knew that this sinister plot was extremely sinful. A certain family has always been loyal and righteous, so how could it be this evil plan? Anyone who dares to be punished by law will be punished here, and the whole family, young and old, will be punished by Duke Tang!"

Li Mu also followed his brother and set up two square baskets. After opening them, the heads of Li Yuan and Li Zhi were revealed. Li Mu then paused and said: "The heads of two criminals, Yuan and Zhi, are like this. As my brother said, all the criminals are sleeping outside to be punished. But one person can live in peace. I, my brother, are willing to suffer the death penalty of mutilation!"

Li Tai asked someone to present the heads of Li Yuan and his son. After a brief inspection, he put Li Yuan's heads in a box and walked down the hall and placed them in front of Li Xian. As for his list of men and women, he took them and stuffed them back. Li Xian sighed and said, "Yuan and Zhi, father and son, have their own way of death. They must be punished for their crimes. Why should the young and old of our family be blamed? Why should they be frightened by this rush."

"There is such filth in the family, and it is known that the upbringing is not careful. It is difficult to say that a virtuous family is wise, how can you dare to speculate on your superiors and escape from the law. The kindness and power come from the superiors, and the crime is rejected by Tang Gong. The whole family is full of filth. With this, Yang Gong makes a wise decision!”

Li Xian bowed deeply to the ground again and said in a deep voice.
