There was an endless stream of visitors to Duguxin's home. Most of them were received by the family's generals and staff in the front hall, but there were also some who were of high status and needed 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 quit the event to sober up.
.
But there was only one guest who sat most securely, that was He Ruoden, the big-mouthed man. 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.
Li Tai couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw He Ruodun like this. In these days of peace and prosperity, when horses are being sent to Nanshan and swords and guns are stored in the warehouse, brave generals like He Ruodun are undoubtedly the most precious talents, and they are not unknown. Even Daxing
Taidu knew that his person 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 doing things, so he can ignore the feelings of his colleagues.
How, because you can open up new career fields at any time without being constrained by others.
But He Ruodun obviously did not have such a 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 weak minister who could not convince the public.
It wasn't until late at night that the father-in-law and his wife saw off the last wave of guests, including He Ruoden, who had been staying at 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.
"Today at the banquet, judging from your conversation, 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.
Although we have suffered some setbacks now, we have finally returned to our original aspirations. 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. A rash change of deployment will inevitably lead to a loss of harmony, and everything will suddenly become more complicated.
I am too harsh on you, and you need to make a calm transition to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
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 brave when he is brave, but his temperament is often paranoid and idiotic, and it is difficult to get along with the masses. My subordinates have a problem that needs to be solved, and there is really no room for him.
.”
First of all, I am passive in this matter. Daxingtai gave this order in order to use its subordinates to check and balance the officials of the prefectures and counties. It was not specifically to place me next to you. At least that's how I see it.
, I have no other thoughts about this, I just want to hang around and pass this time, and quickly get out of this embarrassing position.
"I still have to learn from my parents, so what qualifications do I have to appreciate the brave warriors whose names were passed down to them when they were recommended?"
The matter in Longbian was beyond Li Tai's plan, and he did not have any big plans that he needed to go to Longyou to implement. He knew that Duguxin had his own order, so he would not act arbitrarily, seize power and destroy it. Anyway, this was a mess of personnel affairs.
, sooner or later it will be in his hands!
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
Let’s summon them to Beijing as soon as possible.”
At the same time, how to arrange Li Tai's authority and position under his command will also make Dugu Xin worried. If many key personnel are handed over without precautions, then with Li Tai's talents and means, it will not take long.
Can actually replace or even replace oneself.
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.
"Oh, it's hard for you. Fortunately, it's you. It would be difficult for other Shiliu young people to be as clear-eyed as you, Boshan. Daxingtai is indeed acting in a hurry this time, but Boshan, you
It is clear from the beginning that if we work together, we will be able to put things right and calm down the chaos as soon as possible."
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 thoughts and feelings in the heart are not spoken frankly, it will be extremely serious if they continue to accumulate.
It may become a knot in the mind.
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 Ruodun. 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.
He didn't know the specific situation inside Duguxin's subordinates at the moment, so he couldn't speak out loud 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 I 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. I am only afraid of accepting it, and I hope that my father-in-law will be considerate in the matter, so that I can be restored to full rank with my merits and demerits balanced."
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.
"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 my best according to my ability. 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 keep your eyes open and speak quietly, learn first and then learn the Dharma, and never force yourself to get ahead and see the evil crowd."
Hearing that Li Tai was not obsessed with the temporary rise in power and could still remain calm and rational, Duguxin felt relieved and felt that he had not misjudged the person.
"Haha, don't belittle yourself. Guan Daxingtai has great expectations and appreciation for your appointment."
The exercise and distribution of power has been the most sensitive issue since ancient times. Although Li Tai and Dugu Xin are close, 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.
After criticizing Dahangtai, he then said: "Putting 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.
Human nature has always been complicated. It is true that Dugu Xin appreciates Li Tai very much and values it very much, but he is not willing to give up his position of authority right now and work hard for half his life to fulfill Li Tai. After hearing Li Tai's answer,
Feeling quite pleased in my heart, I raised my hand and patted his shoulder and said in a deep voice.
As soon as Dugu Xin said these words, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little weird.
After Li Tai heard this, he felt a little ashamed. The so-called trouble naturally refers to him. Although it was brought on by Duguxin himself and had nothing to do with him directly, a family that does not speak the same language must always face each other.
right.
But if you 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? Is it just to set up an imaginary enemy close at hand?
Duguxin has been thinking recently 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.
Daxingtai's plan was not without its viciousness, and it could even be said to have laid the foundation for a long-term rift between Weng and his son-in-law.
"The tribesmen under my sect are still sending envoys to Beizhou for dispatch, and they will go to the town alone first. If there is a real shortage of talents, it will not be too late to send envoys again."
After hearing this, Li Tai added 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 troops and materials allocated by the Taifu, and send them away in batches.
Misoperation 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 decided. I want to escort my wife back to Huazhou first, and then rush back to Beijing to obey the order."
After hearing the words, Dugu Xin was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and said: "It should be like this, it should be like this, I am so focused on things and scheming, but I have neglected Shao Ai's affection. Fortunately, you are connected with God in Boshan.
If you have something in mind, go and go!"
