Some things that happened in the New Year that just passed were very touching. The two most eye-catching events in the court were the good news coming from northern Shaanxi and Hexi.
In the past year, the Eastern Dynasty has successively married into Tuyuhun and Rouran, which has made the surrounding situation extremely bad and completely isolated and helpless. This has made many people who are worried about the safety of the country worried. They are worried that something will happen on all sides, and the country
You will always encounter the danger of instability.
Therefore, when the two good news came to the court, those who were worried about the future of the country, both inside and outside the court, all breathed a long sigh of relief. Some optimists even thought that this was a sign of destiny in the west.
Things that seem unbelievable actually happened.
However, these discussions about major current events were only limited to a small scale. What really made the masses talk about it was another matter that was widely discussed, and that was a marriage in the family of Hanoi Gong Du Guxin.
In fact, this is not a formal marriage, just an engagement, and strictly speaking, it is not a matter in Dugu Xin's family. But the public onlookers will not care about this carefully, they are just curious about what kind of person can get into Dugu Xin's eyes?
It is not that there are no marriages between the children of important people in Kansai. Although Dugu Xin's position is high, it cannot be said to be supreme. Last year alone, Daxingtai married two daughters, both of which were powerful marriages.
However, none of the public opinions caused by these marriages can compare with the fact that Duguxin is going to marry a daughter. In the final analysis, it is because of her appearance.
Everyone knows that Dugu Xin has a handsome appearance and unparalleled style. He also has outstanding achievements and a high position. He is simply a fashionable figure. Especially in the minds of some young and backward people, he is an almost perfect idol. They fantasize about being appreciated by him.
He is favored and closely supported by countless people, and everyone is eager to be a disciple in the tent. Being recruited by him as his son-in-law is an honor that makes him smile in his dreams!
The other protagonist in the incident, Li Tai, was not an unknown person. He had already become famous in the Taiwanese government and was well-known in the court.
But his so-called popularity, with such huge traffic, still gave people the feeling of becoming famous overnight. For a time, almost everyone in the market was talking about who this lucky guy was.
Therefore, various information about Li Tai's deeds and deeds were widely popularized by gossip enthusiasts during this New Year, not only his deeds since his exile in Kansai after the Battle of Mangshan, but also his deeds before that.
Some things about life in the Eastern Wei Dynasty were revealed.
But Yu Wentai doesn't care about that. Aren't you all members of Weng's son-in-law's family? I've arranged for you to get it right in one step. Isn't this what you want to see?
Li Tai refused to give up and still wanted to lead the crowd to go out for revenge. Li Licheng changed from asking for an explanation aggressively at first to earnest advice and explanation. He was so tired that he was sweating all the time. Li Taicai finally said generously that he didn't care anymore.
, with the help of Li Licheng, he took off his armor and moved into the house.
Li Tai's change in official position, if the factors of his father-in-law Duguxin are not taken into account, it is a very big improvement in terms of authority.
No matter how hard Dugu Xin worked hard to rectify the personnel order under his command and relieve the grievances of his subordinates, what Li Tai would do to gain a foothold in Longyou and change his embarrassing situation would be a very troublesome question next.
When Li Licheng saw Li Tai looking like he was about to go on a killing spree, most of the anger in his heart immediately dissipated, and he became worried again. He pulled Li Tai and advised: "I don't want it anymore, I don't want it anymore. Although they have surrounded me,
I only beat up a few domestic slaves, but if I want to kill them in revenge, it would still be a bit serious. Boshan, you are about to have a good thing, how could you commit a murder in the capital just because of such a trivial matter?"
After all this trouble, Li Licheng never dared to mention the bad things he had done before, but he was also full of gossip and curiosity. He sat across from Li Tai and asked, "Boshan, tell me the truth, is it true as the rumors say?"
, it is because of Grand Master Heba’s care for you that Lord Hechi takes a new look at you? Did you know about these twists and turns before? Also, when did Lord Hechi sue you..."
In the middle of the first month of the year, a dozen knights followed a carriage and drove into Gao Zhongmisitu's residence.
Li Licheng roared in the courtyard for a while but did not see Li Tai. He became even more angry. He ignored the dissuasion of his servant and walked to the inner courtyard. After passing through the first floor of the courtyard wall, he was frightened by the situation here and gasped.
"This, this is not necessary..."
Moreover, Dugu Xin has been in Longbian for many years, and his subordinates must have a series of complete and stable personnel arrangements, which cooperate with and restrict each other. After several years of running in, they are already in order.
But if these personnel support no longer exists, then no matter how sophisticated his personnel plan is, the space for its implementation will be greatly reduced. After all, in addition to the policy tilt of the Taiwan government, he also has great influence on local figures.
The space for resources to intervene is very small, and it can be said that it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.
When he travels to and from the capital, Gao Zhongmisitu Mansion and Longshou Yuanzhuang outside the city, as well as in front of the homes of several cousins, have recently been visited by young men with swords and sticks astride them. It seems that they want to catch Li Li.
Tai, showing off his hatred for his wife.
So far, in addition to the title of Luochuan County Prince, Li Tai only has the title of Disciple Knight, General of the Conquests and Governor, but his duties and powers have been completely stripped away. At this stage, he is like a
The attitude of a traitor who was kicked out.
Moreover, on the second day of the new year after the end of the Dachao meeting, he was also dismissed from his position as Zhonglang in the Taifu, including the Dushui envoy and the military commander of the three defense cities.
What's more, Li Tai is not a mediocre person. Even if the current public does not understand the benefits that his various suggestions have brought to Taiwan government politics, his deeds of killing the thief Hu in northern Shaanxi for two consecutive years are enough.
Beyond the vast majority of people of the same age.
First of all, his position as a military guard general was directly deprived of him on the afternoon when Dugu Xin announced his engagement two years ago.
On the one hand, it should be because Yu Wentai was a little angry and overreacted. On the other hand, he also wanted to kill the chicken to show the monkeys. He hinted to the emperor that you should stop thinking about General Su Wei. Who makes me feel that something is wrong? Just take it.
No negotiation!
Especially in a complicated situation like the Western Wei Dynasty, there was a lot of room for conspiracies to breed, so you really have to rather believe in their existence than in their absence.
In addition to being the chief of staff of Dugu Xin, he also served as the prefect of Tianshui County. Tianshui was originally a large county in Longyou, where Qinzhou was governed, and it was also the hub for governing the entire Longyou.
The reason why he was able to fully exercise his power was based on the full cooperation given to him by the states and counties along the Luoshui River. People such as Cui Quan, Li Mu and others spared no effort to support him.
Therefore, while there is a lot of admiration for Li Tai in the public opinion outside, Li Tai, who is at the center of the incident, has both gains and losses. The gains have not been tangible yet, but the losses have already occurred.
Among the numerous public discussions, not all of them are harsh and derogatory towards Li Tai. There are still some people who can be fair and objective.
Regardless of whether Yu Wentai had any intention of recruiting Li Tai as his son-in-law before, it was always difficult to accept this matter, both emotionally and intellectually.
After Li Licheng was surprised for a moment, he saw Li Tai, who was also wearing a military uniform, among the armored columns. He hurriedly asked.
Through a series of sanctions against Li Tai, Yu Wentai can be regarded as a man who obeys me and prospers, and who goes against me will perish. He has an iron-fisted and powerful official. Even if you were my little cutie before, as long as you go against my will
, I will still kick you out and leave the house!
Of course, if Yuwentai's methods stop at this, then he is not Yuwentai.
Li Tainian came to power before he was crowned weak, and it was also the geographical center of the country. Looking at the entire Kansai region, he was almost unique.
Although this series of attacks against Li Tai is awe-inspiring, it will inevitably undermine internal unity. The sense of boundaries is too harsh and strict. How can the generals who are responsible for the establishment of the government control their subordinates in the future?
Now he is the chief official of Duguxin's second mansion, that is, he is the chief staff of the Husband's Palace and the Qinzhou Governor's Palace. This means that among the factions of Duguxin, he is the largest except for the boss of Duguxin.
Before Dugu Xin made his stance clear, Li Tai had always been an upstart in the Taiwanese government, and was well known for being the confidant that Daxingtai worked hard to cultivate. But now he suddenly became Dugu Xin's beloved son-in-law. There are twists and turns in this process.
There is so much room for further expansion.
At least as far as Li Tai himself is concerned, he can clearly feel that someone is pushing and exaggerating this matter and guiding him in a direction that has been planned for a long time. Although it cannot be said that he has been wronged, he is deliberately guiding him in this direction.
People obviously have bad intentions towards themselves.
"No more words for Xiao Xie. I already know that you were humiliated on your way back. Since it happened because of me, I have no choice but to take responsibility. I will attack to take revenge and wash away the humiliation suffered by Xiao Xie with the blood of all the scoundrels!"
As soon as the car stopped, an armored young man rushed out and jumped out of the car. He looked around with a staff in both hands and shouted loudly: "Where is Li Boshan? Come out and give me an explanation! You want to marry me."
I'm just a bride, why did I want to offend the people in the capital and make them surround me and beat me outside the city? Is it wrong that I am a descendant of the Li family..."
Hearing Li Licheng's series of questions, Li Tai couldn't help but roll his eyes. During this time, there were quite a few people asking him about similar topics. People like Li Licheng were just curious and gossipy, but others like Yu Wenhu
People with deep thoughts come to inquire, which makes him very tired to deal with.
Li Tai stepped forward, patted Li Licheng on the shoulder with a serious and murderous look and said in a deep voice.
In addition, there is another interesting personnel appointment: Zhao Yongguo, the eldest son of Zhongshan County Duke Zhao Gui, although disabled, is still commendable for his loyalty. He is specially recorded as the eunuch of Ye Tingjian and the supervisor of Wanshou Palace.
Although all kinds of discussions in the market are lively, apart from causing some trouble for Li Tai's travel, it is not enough to cause any actual trouble. However, the people close to him have been caught off guard and have been deeply or lightly affected.
.
If you become Dugu Xin's son-in-law, you will become a traitor to the Tai government. So what kind of existence is Dugu Xin in the Western Wei Dynasty in your mind, Yu Wentai?
Therefore, when Li Tai was confused by the sanctions, new appointments also followed: Dugu Xin's subordinate, the Chief of the Second Prefecture, was also the Administrator of Tianshui County, the Governor of Shangfeng City, and the Governor of Tianshui, Lueyang and other five counties.
military.
This kind of positional treatment is completely different from the three-defense city that Li Tai worked hard to build before. The real No. 2 figure in Longyou. Even looking at the entire Western Wei Dynasty, the human resources that can be controlled theoretically are
Can be ranked high!
After all, no matter how outstanding Dugu Xin was, he was just a powerful military leader who rose up along the trend, but behind Li Tai was the county commander's signature built by the concerted efforts of several generations of the Li family in Longxi.
But the problem is, who wants to be surrounded by a subordinate who can replace him at any time? Even the emperor must closely guard against the prince to avoid being overtaken by him, not to mention that Li Tai and Dugu Xin are not father and son.
If any matter breaks away from its original scope and shows an unusual degree of enthusiasm, you have to think carefully about whether there is any malicious driving force behind it.
He also didn't expect that his marriage would actually cause such a commotion, as if everyone suddenly transformed into a village intelligence team, determined to investigate the whole story of the incident and get to the bottom of it.
In other words, with the support of this series of official positions, Li Taizhi and Dugu Xin are almost equal to Yuwen Daozhi and Yuwen Tai. Once Dugu Xin leaves town due to business or suffers from any illness or accident, Li Tai can immediately take over.
Duguxin exercised his authority.
In this small courtyard, dozens of powerful soldiers were neatly dressed, holding bows and knives in each hand. The light of their swords and armor reflected each other, making the entire courtyard filled with a murderous atmosphere.
"What, what is this going to do?"
The loss of the rank of General of the Military Guard was just the beginning. On the day of the imperial meeting in January, Li Tai was called into the imperial office of the government because he was working as a lieutenant in the Taifu government. He was directly not allowed to participate in the imperial meeting, so naturally there was no need to award him a reward.
, the three divisions of Yi and Tong are gone, and the title of Marquis San is gone.
Li Tai was already walking around the corridor, but before he turned the corner, he heard Li Licheng's roar of grief and indignation. Knowing that it was not a good time to meet each other, he immediately turned back.
Previously, he held the position of being an official of the Taiwan government, and was also in charge of the city's water and city defense military affairs. Although the scope of his authority was also very wide, he never had much leadership and decision-making power.
But now Li Tai has rashly stepped in and occupied several important positions at once, which is bound to greatly disrupt the personnel order, and Dugu Xin's staff and subordinates are really calm and happy to see a young man parachute directly above their heads.
Doing tyranny?
If we add the governor of Qinzhou Prefecture to the fortified city and the military personnel of the five counties of Longyou, then the power that Li Tai holds in Longbian can be said to be that of Dugu Xin.
If there is one thing worth being happy about, it is that Yuwentai did not let go of Zhao Gui who was stirring up trouble, and directly killed Zhao Gui and his son.
Li Tai has no actual evidence to prove that Zhao Gui is fanning the flames, but if someone is causing trouble behind his back, it is most likely Zhao Gui. And what Yu Wentai did is also a very pointed hint, it was this old boy who did it!
This move is very cruel. If you kill my son-in-law, then I will give birth to a son of yours, so that the blood of your family will flow with my family's blood. By the way, if you hadn't instigated it, I would have done the same to Dugu Xin.
I won't do anything too extreme, and now I've woken up, but the matter has come to this, so I'll give you two slaps as an apology.
From Zhao Gui's point of view, the eldest son was already a waste, and leaving him at home would not be of much value other than having children.
But now, although I no longer have a good job, I finally have a job within the system. If the work goes well, I can help my brothers, which is equivalent to using waste. After all, if the eunuch really gets rich, his career prospects will not be limited to the palace.
Within the family, being granted a title or title is not a problem.
