After all, some things must be experienced in person to have a profound understanding. No matter how others explain or describe it, the details and immersive feelings will be lacking.
As early as after their reunion in Mianbei, Li Tai told his father about the complicated personnel situation in Kansai, and he was also in a very important position in this complicated human situation.
Although Li Xiao had heard about this, he still didn't care more or less. He only felt that his son's claim that the personnel was complicated or the position was important might be a bit exaggerated, and he was probably bragging in front of his father.
However, since arriving in Huazhou yesterday, Li Xiaofan has witnessed the personnel and affairs, especially the situation where the imperial court and the Tai government are vying to win over him in Daxingtai Palace, and he has realized that what his son said was true, and even what he said was true.
Not enough.
Although Li Xiao is not good at being worldly and following people's influence, he is still from a well-known family. In his early years, before the Li family in Longxi suffered any misfortune, the words and deeds of his elders, the influence among his peers, and his past experience in the imperial court, even
It doesn’t have much political wisdom, but it still speaks from experience.
There are many personnel disputes in Kansai, and others can be ignored for the time being, but the contradiction between the imperial court and the hegemony must be taken seriously, and one must find his own position and position in this.
This is Li Xiao's deep understanding as a person who has experienced the Heyin Incident and survived the disaster. He knows that there is no room for carelessness in this matter.
After Li Tai pondered for a moment, he looked at his father and said, "How old is Aye Zhi'er?"
Hearing this question, Li Xiao sighed and said: "In the old year of Wutai, the Erzhu family brutally killed the minister in Heyin. Your mother and other surviving relatives fled in a hurry. My son was born in the autumn of that year. He left with his father in the year of Shufa.
Xiang, now he has matured and become a truly high-spirited adult husband!"
Li Tai was born in 528 when the Heyin Revolution occurred. It is now the fourteenth year of Datong, at the end of 548. However, his crowning ceremony had already been hosted by his father in Qinghe Township, so father and son did not agree with this.
No regrets.
"Yes, my talent has not been high for a long time. Although my position is high, my future is still long. Aye asked me where I am going to follow. It is difficult to answer this question. There are many people and things that are not stable. Maybe I shouldn't ask this question.
Instead, we should ask, who can tolerate me?"
When Li Tai said this, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It turned out that he had become quite powerful without realizing it.
Although two options were raised in his father's question, there was actually no obvious difference for him: "No matter which party you are on, if you are an old master or a confidant, if you are a young master, you must be a strong minister, even if you have to compromise.
I'm afraid we won't be able to live in peace with each other either. To form a nest to protect oneself is to have disloyal thoughts in one's heart and to kill them at the slightest suggestion, which will inevitably bring laughter to the world."
When Li Xiao heard this answer, he was a little stunned for a moment. He was still focusing on the already very exposed and seemingly irreconcilable contradiction between the imperial court and the Bafu, and was struggling with what to choose between the two, but he didn't expect that
The son's vision is more long-term, and the new problems it raises are equally fatal.
"This, this is just an extremely bad situation. It may not, may not come true..."
As he said this, Li Xiao also beat a drum in his heart. Since the Six Towns Mutiny, it seemed that all the long-squeezed hostility in the world had been released, including the tragic Heyin Incident, the incredible escape of the emperor, and Hou Jing's remnant.
The defeated troops were able to cross the river that even the Northern Wei Dynasty was unable to touch when it was at its most powerful, and directly surrounded Taicheng. All kinds of monsters continued, and no one dared to say whether something worse would happen.
After a moment of silence, Li Xiao spoke again with some hesitation: "Since my son has had a premonition for a long time, I think you will have a plan to deal with it based on your intelligence. Since then, you have been humble and self-sufficient, and have made good friends in the world, just like Sikong Wen and Mu Gong did in the past.
Only by living in this way can you achieve both merit and body."
Li Tai laughed when he heard this, knowing that it would be difficult for his father to accept the real plan in his heart in a short period of time. After all, not everyone in the world is as rebellious as him.
For example, the options proposed by his father only vacillated between the imperial court and the hegemony, and did not include the option of independence. Now Li Chong's deeds are used to encourage him, but in fact, even Li Xiao himself is a little unsure about these predecessors.
Is wisdom still effective in this troubled world?
"In troubled times, if you don't advance, you will retreat. I am a man with a bow and a sword. If I keep a low profile and do not fight when things happen, it is no different from waiting to be killed. Besides, there are many subordinates under my command who are seeking merit for me. Although I have gradually become known as
Although they are successful and famous, they are still eager to make progress. If they fail to live up to the sentiments of the public, how can they be content with themselves?"
People get to know each other, and understanding always takes a process. When he was in Jingzhou, Li Tai was busy with military and political affairs, and he didn't have much communication with his father.
He knew that his father was just an ordinary person whose knowledge and structure in this world did not exceed his own background and class. He was not even as capable as Brother Cui Qian. But since he was a close relative, it was helpful for his father to understand his own ambitions.
necessary.
"Aye said in the preface that no one can share the ups and downs of the road. It is indeed true. Although I have some deeds to boast about, I am still far away from the road. Aspirations must be high, and steps must be taken to reach a long distance."
When Li Tai talked about this, his expression became serious: "Since the Yongjia year of the Jin Dynasty, the land of China has been sinking, the world has been ruined, the Wuhu has risen one after another, and the clothes and clothes are lingering. As for the Wei Dynasty, although there are two or three sages from famous families, they have intellectual intelligence.
Even though they were united, the soldiers still rioted and the world was uneasy.
The human world has been in chaos for more than two hundred years, with bones reduced to clay and wars still going on. Among them, there are always some common sufferings that make people feel the same. If I were just a lowly person, living in ignorance, struggling to survive.
However, my current ability and position do not allow me to be lost among others. Although morality is important, someone must take it, so that the people who value justice and have little power can take care of them. Although I cannot share the ups and downs, I am still upholding morality.
I'm flexing and leaping inside. I dominate the government and the court needs to take the shortcut to meet me, rather than me abandoning the road to do it.
Today, when asked by Aye, I boldly express my wish. I want to mend the cracks in the sky and recreate the hot summer! Although my words are arrogant, my deeds are always testing. Over two hundred years of troubled times, blood and tears can form lakes, and bones can form lakes.
Heaped up into a hill, this mountain of corpses and sea of blood always needs someone to move and fill it. If I don’t do it, who should I rely on?”
Li Xiao couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard his son's generous confession. Although his mouth opened, he didn't make any sound for a long time.
After a while, he started laughing. His laughter grew from low to high, and became more and more cheerful. He pointed at Li Tai and said to Li Zhusheng: "Did you see it? Did you hear it? This is my son, and he
What a great ambition! Oh, who would have thought that Li Xiao, who escaped from the disaster and hid in the countryside, could actually give birth to and raise such an extremely arrogant maniac who dared to take the world as his own responsibility! If our clan does not prosper because of this,
It will inevitably lead to their downfall! In troubled times, the rise and fall of famous families is just an ordinary thing, but if we can work together to achieve the failure of such a grand plan, why would we regret dying?"
Li Tai looked at his father high-fiving and praising him, looking a little unbelievably excited. He didn't expect that the power of his cannon was so powerful, but he just wanted to be excited. Talking about death is really unlucky, so he said again: "
Aim high, be down-to-earth, be cautious in what you say, and achieve anything. Although your body is as heavy as a mountain, your heart is as small as a mayfly. You can save the world when you go out with a sword, but you can stay in the hall and eat high. There is thunder in the belly of this madman,
Aye doesn't give you food?"
No matter how loud the cowhide blows, it doesn't care if it's full. Li Tai got up early in the morning and started training. He exercised a lot, but he hadn't had time to eat yet. He was really hungry now.
After Li Xiao heard this, he immediately burst into laughter, and couldn't help but sigh: "Maybe I am used to it in the old years, and I am proud of my status, so I don't think there is anything strange about my son. It was so much better when we met again after we said goodbye."
The speech is magical and surprising. No wonder the people in Kansai think that I have an outstanding education and are eager to contribute their children to learn. Although I deserve this enthusiasm, if I just refuse blindly, I will inevitably be resented again.
It’s just that I treasure my broom, but how will I deal with it in the future?”
This is not a problem that Li Tai needs to face. His father is also a good Chinese travel companion who has traveled to various countries. He has no experience and standards in human relations, so naturally he does not need to give guidance.
While the father and son were chatting, Gao Zhongmi and other hungover guests who stayed at home also got up and walked around. Li Tai and his father ate with these guests again, and discussed how to respond to the warm welcome yesterday.
From time to time, various families returned gifts and expressed their thanks.
It is obviously unrealistic to visit families one by one. Otherwise, Li Tai would not have to do anything on his return trip. He would just visit relatives and friends every day. He would still have to find a reason to get everyone together to express their feelings.
Li Tai also had plans for this. The Taiwanese government and the imperial court had expressed their intention to appoint his father as an official, but he did not want his father to be involved. After all, he could not avoid it if he wanted to be in power, but his father did not have this need.
Even if you don't serve as a high-ranking official in the government, if you stay at home with peace of mind, you may be able to become an emperor in the coming year, so why bother looking at people's faces.
However, his father is not too old. Even in his old age, he still wants to have a career to boast about. The most suitable arrangement for him is probably the teaching position.
Li Tai planned to simply build a private school on Longshouyuan in Chang'an and let his father be the principal. He didn't know his father's specific academic level, because it was beyond his cognitive level. Even his second brother Li Chao was better than
He was much more educated. But regardless of his father's academic level, the thousands of volumes of books brought back from Jingzhou alone were enough to frighten the people in Kansai.
The place and houses on Longshouyuan are all ready-made. In addition, Li Tai had some similar ideas before and ordered Li Licheng, Li Xiaoyong and others to arrange the layout, so it only needs to be tidied up and the business can be opened directly. At that time, a post will be posted to Shiliu
Every family, holding an opening ceremony can also serve multiple purposes.
