After returning from Duguxin's home, Li Tai could not calm down for a long time.
There are only a few major events in life. Although he often has the idea of selling them at a price, when he really has to face them, he still feels anxious about gains and losses. He just feels that this guy Dugu Xin is really too bad, and he can't say anything.
On the surface, the ambiguous hints made him feel confused and couldn't sleep at night.
Since he couldn't sleep, he had to find something to do. He dug out the letters he had exchanged with Lady Miaoyin in the past, spread them out on the table and read them carefully. From the lines of the words, he imagined the lady's demeanor and demeanor when she was writing letters at her desk, with every frown and smile.
A crazy smile appeared on his face.
Putting aside concerns about interests, his aesthetic taste is generally normal, and of course he hopes that his future spouse will be a pleasing beauty.
I don't usually think about it seriously, but now that I think about it carefully, I gradually feel that the little lady's voice and smile really touch the heartstrings. Her personality may be a bit unruly, but she is also enthusiastic and lively, which makes people like her. Especially occasionally she is intentional.
Unintentionally revealing a little bit of admiration for yourself is really a thrilling emotion that no one can refuse.
"Alang, why don't you go to bed yet?"
Gao Bailing walked through the hall and saw Li Tai sitting alone at the desk. He came over and asked concerned about him. He smelled the smell of alcohol and ordered his servants to prepare some sobering soup.
"Sir, Mr. Liu, didn't go to rest either? Alas, the household affairs are complicated, and you, an old man, are burdened a lot. There is always a housewife who is in charge of the house. My uncle and I are both widowers, and they are not very careful people."
Seeing Gao Bailing approaching, Li Tai put away the letters with some embarrassment and sighed.
"Who says it's not the case, but my lord is in a lazy and sad mood, and I am afraid that he has no intention of remarrying in a short period of time. But Alang, I really need to think about it. Recently, I happened to visit various families, and look at you, Alang, who is so hot that you can't sleep after a long night.
From the looks of it, he must be worried about a good lady from a certain family?"
Gao Bailing sat down, pointed at Li Tai and said with a smile: "This is a great happy event for the household. For the mistress to take charge of the household, everyone's hearts will be cheered up!"
When Li Tai heard this, he felt a bit shy that he had not seen for a long time, and sighed in distress: "Oh, it's hard to say! I don't need to think about it carefully, but there is no one in other people's families.
It’s such a firm statement, I feel a little panicked when I think about it.”
"How can someone like A Lang not fall in love with someone like him? If even A Lang can't catch his eye, he must have such a withdrawn and perverse temperament. Even if they get married, they probably won't be able to maintain their friendship in a friendly manner!"
"This is the truth, but things in this small area are the most elusive. If you are not moved by passion, you can make do with everything. But if your mind is really affected, you always feel that it is necessary. If your heart is manipulated by others, you will worry.
It’s inevitable that joy will be controlled by others!”
When Gao Bailing heard what Li Tai said, the smile on his old face became even brighter: "Alang is the first-class wise and talented person in the world, how can he still be confused when encountering such a thing? All love affairs in this world are nothing but charming and charming, and seduction with clever words.
Wealth invites pleasure, force takes it, and courage captures it. With so many means at Alang's disposal, how can one say that one's worries and pleasures are controlled by others?"
After listening to Gao Bailing's analysis, Li Taicai remembered that his family had a tradition of robbing someone if they couldn't get it. Then he thought of going to Duguxin's house to rob someone, which was really exciting. This old guy really didn't teach others good things.
However, his thoughts were just boring reverie. Dugu Xin's performance should have meant this. The reason why he didn't express it was naturally because the timing was not appropriate, and it was not to deliberately hang him.
This matter is somewhat complicated. Not only Dugu Xin, but I am also in some trouble here.
If he really marries Duguxin's daughter, Yuwentai will always look bad. Even if he doesn't become angry, his situation in Bafu will inevitably become embarrassing, and there will be great changes in job appointments. In the short term,
, is not a good thing.
But in the long run, being Duguxin's son-in-law will give you far more freedom and choice than Yuwentai's son-in-law, especially during the Yuwenhu period. On the wedding day, Yu Laoer was drunk by Yuwenhu until he burst into tears.
, it seems that although it is just a game, Yu Wenhu’s strength is also evident.
If he becomes the son-in-law of the Yuwen family, he will not gain much from his power, but he will be in a lot of trouble. If he does not become Yuwen Hu's core supporter, the wolf cubs of the Yuwentai family will never let him live too comfortably or instigate him.
Fighting with Yu Wenhu is also a basic operation.
These little brats look harmless to humans and animals, but in fact they are very wild. As long as Yu Wenhu can easily deal with them, he will not kill the king one after another, and he will finish the game with a weak hand!
But if you become Dugu Xin's son-in-law, you can not only strengthen your sense of identity among the town's people, but also don't have to bear too many moral costs. You can avoid mutual harm within the Yuwen family, and your situation and choices will be more calm.
Although there will inevitably be conflicts and confrontations with Yuwen Hu, and power struggles, that situation is completely different from being the son-in-law of the Yuwen family. It can also be more convenient to form your own camp and power to ensure the purity of the team. At least.
Don't worry about being invited into the palace by Yu Wenyong one day to read "Jiu Gao" to the Queen Mother.
Gao Bailing watched Li Tai's iron tree blooming and began to seriously consider his life-long affairs. He was also very happy. He still wanted to discuss emotional issues with him in detail and say a few words of "Pan Donkey and Deng Xiaoxian".
But Li Tai just couldn't control his thoughts after drinking. After chatting for a few words, the distracting thoughts in his mind gradually disappeared. After drinking two bowls of soup to relieve hangover and warm his belly, he left Gao Bailing, who was chatting heavily, to go home and rest.
Early the next morning, Li Tai and his family prepared some gifts, and he rushed with dozens of followers to see Yang Zhong off.
He still wanted to suggest to Yang Zhong that if possible, he should seek an appointment in the prefectures and counties around northern Shaanxi. If possible, it would be best to succeed Chang Shan in Xi'an Prefecture.
After the Yanyin Reform, the profits of Yanchi were consolidated. If coupled with the opening of the Central Law, it would be a very important military plan. Li Tai's management of the northern Shaanxi area was also based on this basis to a certain extent, and was closely related to the town's control.
It is also very important to maintain a good interaction.
What's more, Yang Zhong is really brave, and he is not as senior and respected as other Beizhen military leaders. With the two-level relationship between He Basheng and Duguxin, there will be no problem of poor communication when working together.
If this can be done, it will also be of great benefit to Duguxin. At present, Duguxin is isolated from the core of the gradually forming Fubing ecological circle. Yuwentai will never let him do various military operations in the later period.
Get deeply involved.
Although he had been in Longbian for a long time, as the Western Wei Dynasty became bigger and bigger, Dugu Xin's power and influence inevitably declined. In the 13th year of the reign of Emperor Datong, he was replaced by Yu Wendao.
, lost control of Longyou as a whole and was trapped in Heyang, Longshang. When he returned to the court and was promoted to Zhuguo, he was easily ignored.
Although Yang Zhong is an old relative of Dugu Xin, he is quite wise in protecting himself and his factional tendencies are not strong. Coupled with his outstanding military ability and personal force, Yu Wentai also appreciates him.
.
If he can sit in Xi'an Prefecture, in addition to the salt benefits of the region itself, he can also use this bridge to carry out some personnel interaction between Longyou and northern Shaanxi.
Although Yuanzhou is separated from each other by Yuanzhou, Yuwentai's die-hard home base, these personnel contacts are not aimed at fighting against the Bafu, but will only benefit each member. The Gaoping and Li brothers will certainly not refuse.
Duguxin has been in Long for many years, and Yuwentai must also be happy to see the personnel power he has accumulated diverted to Neizhou.
After all, at this point in time, Yuwentai actually has no good way to completely control Duguxin. He does not have the ability to predict the future. He can predict that Gao Huan will die soon, and Hou Jing will create a huge impact on the Western Wei Dynasty.
strategic turnaround.
In the absence of a better choice, diversion and guidance of Dugu Xin's entangled forces is an option worthy of Yuwentai's consideration.
For Duguxin, he can bypass geographical restrictions, diversify the resources he has control over investments, and avoid the risk of clearing out all the money. Short-term concessions and self-weakening are actually exchanged for greater political survival and development.
space.
For Li Tai, from a small point of view, it doesn't matter whether you are willing to marry your daughter to me in the end. Let's get the dowry first. From a big point of view, it means forming a political alliance from the local government to the imperial court. Although loose, it is
considerable.
Although it is still under the control of Yuwentai Bafu at the moment, when Yuwenhu comes to power, his Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office will not be as strong as Yuwentai Bafu. This alliance can completely operate outside the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Palace. No matter in the court
Even in the town, Li Tai could still support him, but Yu Wenhu couldn't hold him to death.
However, to create this situation, it is obviously difficult to convince the other party based on the current relationship between him and Dugu Xin. After all, Dugu Xin's current situation is not yet difficult and dangerous, let alone his complete trust in Li Tai.
Time and opportunity are fleeting. Once the Battle of Yubi is over and a series of dizzying changes occur, Yuwentai will no longer give him so much room for maneuver. It will be difficult to build this connection again.
Already.
Therefore, it is urgent to seize this moment to substantially enhance the relationship with Dugu Xin and retain Dugu Xin’s accumulated output as much as possible. Before, the opportunity was not big and the idea was not deep, but now that we have seen the possibility
, Li Tai never wanted to let it go.
It's a pity that Yang Zhong still cherished words like gold. Although he listened to Li Tai's ideas and suggestions, he didn't make any clear statement. As for Dugu Xin, he didn't come to see him off at all, and Li Tai couldn't have an in-depth discussion even if he wanted to.
.
After sending Yang Zhong away, he was still hesitating whether to visit Dugu Xin's house again. It would be better to meet the young lady and see what was different from the last time he said goodbye.
But I just went there yesterday and I went again today. In Dugu Xin's eyes, would he feel that he was too impatient and unreserved, jumping up and down at the slightest hint?
He was still hesitant here, but he didn't want Dugu Xin's family to come and make an inexplicable request: He was asked to search for ten tiger skins in the next few days and send them to Dugu Xin's house as soon as possible, and he was not allowed to come to the house until the goods were all ready.
Li Tai is really speechless. I have big plans here and am planning to empty out your family. How can I be in the mood to skin you?
These things are not foxes and rabbits running around in the wild. They are everywhere. How can tigers offend you? If you want a tiger whip, you can still have a daydream. What is the fun of asking for tiger skin! You can’t give me a tiger whip. Open your mouth more.
It's too much of a burden, don't create a few brothers-in-law who compete with me for the family property.
