As soon as the two of them entered the hall, Yu Wentai stood up and stepped down to greet them. Before the two of them could bend down to bow, he took one of them by the hand and sent them into the banquet. The two of them could not resist this enthusiasm and could only look back.
Standing next to the banquet, he bowed again and said, "I will bow to you at Daxingtai!"
"No etiquette, no etiquette, just sit down in this hall."
After Yu Wentai returned to the table and sat down, he smiled and said to the two of them. Then he pointed at Li Mu and sighed: "The wind and snow in Beizhou are so cold that it hurts people's bodies. But fortunately, my general's quality is as solid as gold and stone, and it is difficult to be damaged by sharp arrows.
How can we be afraid of the devastation of wind and snow!"
This sentence sounded a bit familiar to Li Tai, but he couldn't remember who he was talking about specifically. However, this is normal. There are so many confidants under the boss, and everyone is eagerly looking forward to receiving the care and encouragement from the Lord. The boss
No matter how rich your imagination is, there will inevitably be repetitions. As long as the listener finds it useful, nothing else matters.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Li Mu once again avoided the banquet with excitement and said: "The Lord's gift is profound, and I am deeply moved, but if you send an envoy, I will not hesitate even to the death!"
What these words say is that a drop of kindness is repaid by a spring. Yuwen Tai only rewarded him ten lives in total, but he wanted to repay him a thousand times. It is a pity that this loyalty could not be maintained by Yuwen Tai's descendants.
On the body.
After Li Tai paid his respects, he sat at the table in silence, complaining in his mind about the lackluster conversation between the two of them but not interrupting, as if he was a little transparent.
Sometimes a calm expression can convey certain messages. Although Yu Wentai was chatting freely with Li Mu, who had been separated for more than a year, his eyes occasionally glanced at Li Tai, looking at his calm sitting posture.
There was a faint negative energy, which was very different from the previous meeting. My mood became a little complicated for a while, and I even felt a little guilty.
With the passage of time, the parting feelings were all finished, and then gradually turned into awkward chats with nothing to say, but Li Tai was still sitting in silence without saying a word. After all, Yu Wentai had the mentality of the one in charge.
In this way, the feeling of guilt in my heart quickly dissipated, and was replaced by a sense of shame and annoyance.
Li Mu saw the fake smile on his master's face getting drier and drier, almost falling to the ground and smashing into pieces. Of course, he also noticed that the atmosphere was unusual. He expected that Li Taiyin was affected by what his nephew Li Ji said about his past, so
Bian Ye laughed dryly, stretched out his fingers under the case to hook Li Tai's clothes, and hinted: "Boshan, before you entered the house just now, didn't you say that you wanted to advise the Lord on some strategies to pacify Bian Hu?"
?”
After hearing this, Yu Wentai put on a very interested expression and said with a smile: "Bo Shan's suggestions are always sharp and pointed at the current ills. I feel something after returning from the border patrol. You must listen carefully to what it is like."
A good strategy. If what you say is reasonable and well-founded, it will indeed be beneficial to the politics of the country. We will give you a generous reward for all the contributions we have made!"
The meaning of this is very clear. Don't show off your face to others. I remember all my previous achievements. If you still want to be shameless, don't blame me for being rude!
After Li Tai heard this, he sighed secretly in his heart. After all, he, a descendant from heaven, was no match for Zhao Gui, a childhood sweetheart. However, the boss was willing to give him a chance to correct his attitude. This shows that in his mind, he was not the best.
It has no weight at all. If this is the case, then you have to ask for compensation!
He was thinking about this in his mind, but his eyes blinked, and while he was brewing his emotions, he left the table and fell to the ground. When he spoke, his tone was slightly vibrato: "I, I am guilty. At the moment, I am just confused and my demeanor is destroyed."
, there is no thought at all, and I want to disappoint the Lord..."
Seeing his posture, Yu Wentai's face suddenly darkened. He raised his hand to knock on the table and snorted coldly: "Why did the boy do this posture? Why are you so resentful? Please tell me. Don't let others misunderstand me. I don't tolerate straightness in this hall."
Sound! If someone neglects the meritorious service of the country, I will never be lenient. But if someone is confused and confused, and his ideas are wrong, this is definitely not a place where evil can breed!"
Li Tai was obviously being pretentious, but after hearing what Yu Wentai said, he couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart, and felt that he was indeed a hero in troubled times. Apart from anything else, he was also very skilled in his ability to turn against others and be ruthless.
Before, she was a polite corporal, but now Xiao Tiantian has directly turned into Mrs. Niu. Is it because I am infatuated? It’s as if all the hints that poked people’s eyelids before were spit out from the mouth of a dog!
Fortunately, Li Tai didn't take this matter seriously at all, otherwise Yu Wentai's change in attitude would be really difficult to digest. It can be seen that usually it's just you and me, whoever wants to be moved by his sincerity is here.
You are destined to be the loser in any relationship. I just have to be a big, fat and shiny Lu!
"Boshan, be careful what you say..."
Li Mu knew the whole story and felt that it would be difficult to deal with such a thing for a while. Worried that Li Tai might become even more ridiculous and rude, he hurriedly leaned over to remind him in a low voice, and clasped his fists upward to pray: "Your Majesty, please
Calm down, Li engaged him for the reason..."
"Xianqing, shut up and let him talk!"
At this moment, Yu Wentai changed his amiable demeanor. His face was gloomy and majestic, which made people dare not look directly at him. However, he still snorted coldly: "A new guest from Dongzhou, a helpless and powerful young apprentice, came in."
Not long after he arrived in Kansai, he enjoyed all the official titles and titles, far surpassing his peers. I am really curious about what kind of injustice could rob him of his mind and make him no longer willing to serve the country!"
This is a bit harsh to say, and it shows that Yu Wentai's own mentality is also a bit out of control, and he is bluffing with a guilty conscience.
Although Li Tai would not be intimidated by Yu Wentai, he did not expect that this guy would have a tendency to explode at the slightest moment. He felt like hugging him back, so he paused and cried: "As the old saying goes, three people make a tiger.
What I used to laugh at was nothing more than a mediocre person's excuse for slandering himself, or a sound of frustration for not meeting the enlightened master.
Only now that I have experienced this, I know that there are many such things, and I believe it now! The honor and disgrace of my body may not be worth mentioning, but how can the wisdom of the Lord’s hearing and hearing be tarnished? Therefore, I boldly defend myself, and I sincerely ask the Lord for a clear warning!”
When Yu Wentai heard this, he didn't make any further reaction. He just knocked on the table to indicate for him to continue talking.
"Only after I returned, I learned that there had been some evil rumors in the Taiwan government recently, and there were many rumors involving me. When I first heard about it, I didn't know what it meant. But when I thought about it again, I was already furious. I don't know what the stupidity of the person who caused the rumor was.
This can slander my name!"
Li Tai first slammed the shit basin, but he couldn't say it was a slander. He didn't covet the daughter of the Yuwen family at all. Instead, he had to exaggerate this emotion a little more: "When people are young, they admire their parents; when they are lustful, they admire Shao Ai.
When I am an official, I admire you. I say farewell to my parents. The Lord lives in my hometown. His gifts are the same as those of my parents. This is the first admiration. When I am an official, I admire the Lord. This is the second admiration. As I grow older, I become aware of lust. Although I have no body, I admire you.
Crossing the Lei Pond, God sent young moxa far away, so the two of them fell in love with the house and the crow. I would like to ask the Lord, what is the crime of this love? Is there anything worthy of criticism and ridicule? "
Yu Wentai probably hadn't read "Mencius". After hearing these words, he thought about it in his mind for a while, and then he gradually understood what Li Tai meant. The shame, anger and displeasure in his heart suddenly disappeared like a wave under the warm sun. It melted as fast as ice and snow, and there was even a faint surprise. It turned out that he was not burdened with shaving his head before. Li Tai had long had a secret love for his little girl based on his admiration for him.
Although his mood had improved a lot, he still controlled his expression and did not want to change too quickly. He just nodded slightly and said: "This is indeed human nature, and it is not surprising. If you don't have such a mind, it will be different! Since you understand this, why bother? Are you upset because of those rumors?"
"Being motivated by emotion and stopping by etiquette cannot be said to be unethical, and the virtues of the past are still there. Although I admire Shao Ai, my words and deeds have not been out of line, so it cannot be said that I have behaved in a filthy manner and messed up the etiquette. What can be said is only the first one, not the second. It is extremely rude and disrespectful to ignore the honor and integrity. It can be said that there is no family tradition at all! What's more, the reason why Yan Chen works hard and strives for credit is to steal the undeserved favor. Such remarks are even more ridiculous and have no family. The country has no loyalty in its heart!"
Seeing that Yu Wentai's attitude toward him had softened, Li Tai felt more relieved to hold people's shit in the basin, and all the shocking accusations were revealed one by one. This old boy from the Zhao Gui family really had no family education and was wildly ambitious, but This is your choice, idol.
Yu Wentai's face darkened again when he heard this. He had indeed heard some recent rumors in the Taiwanese government, but he was not in the mood to inquire carefully about what they were talking about, and he didn't think that Li Tai, as the sufferer, would bite back and make nonsense. Therefore, he became unhappy in his heart and directly raised his hand to summon the waiter and ordered: "Thoroughly investigate the people who have spread evil voices in the house recently. Anyone who dares to make absurd remarks again will be severely punished!"
"My lord, wait a minute, this matter has been hidden from others, so it really is not appropriate to announce it with an order!"
It is certainly not Li Tai's style to only hurt others but not benefit himself. No matter how much he talks here, he is just trying to satisfy his craving. Seeing that it is difficult to stop this marriage, when Zhao Laoer really becomes Yuwentai's son-in-law, he will meet again In any situation, people must help their relatives but not take care of themselves, so it is only right to strengthen oneself.
After hearing this, Yu Wentai also felt that it was not appropriate to make a big deal about this matter, so he had to deal with it in a low-key manner. He raised his hand to signal Li Tai to return to the table and sit down, and then sighed: "Boshan, you are a warrior who has returned home in triumph, but you don't want me to take care of the housework." Zhouquan, I am tired of you being criticized by the public. It is rare that you still have the patience to tolerate. I will conduct an in-depth investigation after the holiday and give you an explanation."
"It is mediocre not to be envied by others. This kind of experience is not unfamiliar to me. I have lost my composure before because I am afraid that my Lord will be far away from me. After all, my state of mind is not pure and innocent, and I feel uneasy after being exposed by others. . I know that this idea goes beyond my duty, and is even more frightening. Fortunately, my superiors and subordinates are not only driven by emotion, but the official and noble awards can also soothe and inspire people..."
After some preparations, Li Tai finally expressed his thoughts: "My loyalty to serve my lord is as solid as a rock, and I am unswerving. I am panic-stricken and don't know how to show it. I boldly beg my lord to grant me an official title. From now on, I will never die." If you show your kindness and dedicate your life to serve, your Lord will be able to maintain your power for a long time, and you will have no doubt about your trustworthiness."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu's expression next to him became a little dull. He looked at Li Tai and then at the Daxingtai sitting in the hall. He took a look at the hall and his eyes were a little distracted and suspicious. I heard wrongly, and I doubted where I was, and whether the person in the hall was the Lord?
Yu Wentai frowned slightly after hearing this. He was not as dumbfounded as Li Mu, but for a while he was a little confused about the logic behind these words.
Although you are loyal and unswerving to me, you don’t know how to express it, so let me prove it by giving you an official title first? Can the imperial title be an advance first, and then you can repay the loan in batches?
"Don't talk nonsense! The imperial court's official titles are based on your qualifications and merits. How can you award them indiscriminately just to show your kindness! Your talent and talent are already outstanding, but if you work hard and are loyal and diligent, there is no risk that you will not achieve the honors and titles.
Why should you think of such a bad thing!"
The logic in this was so rigid that it made Yu Wentai's thoughts clash with each other. After thinking about it, he straightened his face and said in a deep voice.
Li Mu couldn't help but feel surprised when he heard that the Lord's warning tone did not contain too much reprimand, and he was obviously not angry at the unreasonable request.
Although the Lord often shows kindness and condolences to his close subordinates, he is by no means an approachable and pure good person. If something happens that touches the bottom line of his heart, he will immediately show his ruthless side. After all, he wants to control
How can the powerful forces on all sides make these tyrannical disciples surrender and obey orders if they don't have flexible and tough methods?
Li Muzheng felt that his Lord was really close and indulgent to Li Boshan, but what happened next suddenly shocked him.
"Then what kind of official rank do you think is worthy of your current talents and achievements?"
After scolding Li Taibo, Yu Wentai looked at him again and said, as if he really considered the previous proposal seriously.
Li Tai was not really arrogant because of his favor. He was so crazy that after hearing this, he quickly leaned forward and said: "I feel grateful and enthusiastic about progress. I am not afraid of heavy responsibilities and am brave enough to take on the responsibility, but I am also self-conscious."
His knowledge and talent are still low, so if he were to be promoted suddenly, it would be inevitable for the public to be jealous and hinder things. Even though the villain has wild ideas, he still cannot exceed the measure of the Lord. He can only rely on the Lord's decision, and I will happily respond to it."
After Yu Wentai heard this, he laughed. This smile was not like the slightly artificial enthusiasm when the two had just entered the hall, nor was it like the stiff expression when they were angry before, but it restored a bit of it earlier.
He was relaxed and easy-going, and looked at Li Tai with a bit of relief and a bit of regret in his eyes.
He didn't stay in Chang'an often, and every time he came, he had too many accumulated things to deal with. After receiving the two people and expressing condolences, the staff led them to a separate hall for dinner.
After the two of them left, Yu Wentai was not in a hurry to deal with other matters. Instead, he thought about what Li Tai had said before and found a document on the case, which was the list of rewards for Beizhou war heroes.
, one item related to Li Tai is "added Sanqi regular attendants, and the rank of general for conquering captives".
Both of these are from the third rank official title. Li Tai was honored at such an age before he reached the weak crown. Yu Wentai was confident that even before the mutiny broke out in the Six Towns, when these families were still noble, Li Tai would never be the same.
It is rare to have such a high-ranking official.
That's why Yu Wentai was so angry when Li Tai showed grief and indignation. Except for those who had made great contributions during the extremely turbulent period of the regime and a very few relatives and confidants whom Yu Wentai deliberately cultivated and promoted, ordinary people would never be able to achieve this speed of promotion.
After Yu Wentai pondered for a while, he took up pen and added a few words to this album: "Zhi Jie, he supervised the construction of the southern suburbs of the circle with the post of General Wuwei."
