"The Duke of Taiyuan is truly a man of God. In a short period of time, he can defeat the enemy's country with lightning speed!"
In the Wanshou Palace, Emperor Tuoba Kuo once again high-fived and exclaimed. This was the first time he had expressed this emotion today.
Originally, the emperor was quite reluctant to come to Shayuan this time. He had just been born in the year when the Battle of Shayuan took place, so naturally he had no memories or feelings. Watching Yu Wentai talk about old things with the veterans of Beizhen,
Nostalgic about the past and the present, it made him feel more and more like he was just an outsider. Then he saw those Beizhen veterans expressing their loyalty to Yu Wentai with tears of gratitude, which made him even more worried and sad.
But whether he likes it or not, he himself has no right to speak. The soul of his dead brother hangs above his head like an invisible sharp blade, so that he dare not resist at all. In the past few days, he can only bite the bullet and accompany Yuwentai to comfort these northerners.
Watching Lao Lao Zhen bribe and win over people's hearts in front of his eyes, the emperor's mood became extremely depressed.
Finally, as the party came to an end, an exciting piece of good news came from the south of Wuguan. Although he knew that he was just a puppet, the emperor was sincerely happy when he heard that Li Tai had created such a great achievement.
.And when he saw the gloomy expressions on Yuwentai and his confidants' faces after hearing the news, the emperor felt a surge of joy in his heart!
He did not know the details of the dispute between the Chinese Foreign Affairs Office and the Jingzhou Military Government, but he could get a glimpse of something wrong from the clues in the personnel affairs. The leading general Wei Chigang alone belittled and even cursed Taiyuan Duke Li Boshan more than once in front of others.
The emperor's daily life has been tightly monitored. Even who he meets every day must obtain permission from Yuwentai's eyes and ears. And he doesn't know what purpose he can achieve by this. He just sees Yuwentai worried about it.
Unhappiness, for him, is the purest and truest happiness.
However, this happiness did not last long. Suddenly, the eunuch came in and told Master Yuwen to meet him in the front hall. The smile on the emperor's face quickly disappeared, and his face became tense and replaced with a solemn and serious expression.
Accompanied by the officials, he quickly went to the front hall to meet Yu Wentai.
In the front hall, Yu Wentai had already sat down at the table and was talking quietly with his son-in-law, General Li Hui of the Military Guard, who was directing the hall today. After the emperor entered the hall and saw this scene, his heart was suddenly shocked again, and he hurriedly walked away.
He went forward to wait for the gift, but Yu Wentai raised his hand to signal to wait a moment, so he could only stand aside.
Yu Wentai communicated with Li Hui in a low voice for a few more words, then stood up and bowed to the emperor and said: "Some chores need to be handed over to General Wuwei. Your Majesty, please don't be offended."
After the emperor heard this, he quickly bowed his head and said: "Master, you don't need to be polite, but you have to teach me, and I will listen attentively."
After a brief conversation, the two of them sat down at separate tables. Then Yu Wentai said: "Due to some unexpected circumstances, the original scheduled trip must be postponed temporarily, and the big trip still needs to stop at Wanshou Hall for a period of time. Yes.
I have stopped you, and I have come to inform your majesty. I ask your majesty to be patient."
The emperor was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't want to stay in this sandy garden any longer, but he didn't question or deny it face to face. He could only say softly: "Excuse me, Grand Master, what is the matter that requires my cooperation here?
I don't have to worry about things, so I can have the confidence to cooperate properly."
Yu Wentai didn't take this seriously, so he spoke again: "A few days ago, Taiyuan Duke Li Boshan led an army to capture Jiangling and captured Liang Emperor Xiao Yi and a group of Liang officials..."
"I have also heard about this, and I am just sighing that the Grand Master knows people and can make good use of them. As early as when Taiyuan was a young man, he appreciated it with a green eye and uprooted the grass so that it could be used by the country and made great achievements."
When the emperor heard this, he said with a smile, and while secretly peeping at Yuwentai's expression, he asked again: "So you stay here for the first time to wait for the apostles from Jingzhou to report their achievements and victories?"
After hearing this, Yu Wentai's expression suddenly became quite unnatural. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said: "Jiangling is where the capital of the Liang Kingdom is located. Although we are taking advantage of the disaster, the surrounding Liang soldiers are still not respectful.
Conquered, there are still undecided consequences in the follow-up, so it cannot be said to be a successful achievement. I am afraid it will still take a long time for the division and brigade to triumph, and the specific military period will still be reported later."
At present, the news that Guanzhong has learned is only spread through private channels, and is not a formal report from the Jingzhou General Manager's Office or Guandong Daxingtai. As for the attitude of the official report, it is still unclear whether there is even a report.
Doubtful. Yu Wentai knew what the situation was, so he just talked about it vaguely and casually mentioned it.
"Although there has not yet been a definite report on the Jiangling War, it is a fact that Taiyuan Duke Li Boshan has made many contributions. Although the court also rewarded him with official titles, there is still something left to be done. Li Boshan's father, Li Renlue, has also been in the country for many years, but he is still
He is in the field in vain and has never left the court. Those who know him say that he is calm and does not fight for success and does not want fame. But when those who don't know see this, they may ridicule my court for not being able to treat the virtuous with courtesy."
Yu Wentai looked at the emperor and continued: "I am here today for this very reason. I hope that your majesty will be kind to the people and give you the honorary title of Li Renlue to show the courtesy and virtue of our court!"
"This is, this is what it should be! If the Grand Master hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known about this..."
After hearing the words, the emperor nodded subconsciously, but he couldn't help but have secret doubts in his heart. Wasn't it that there was a dispute between the Chinese Foreign Affairs Office and the Jingzhou Military Mansion? Why haven't Lubu, who reported his meritorious service to the Jingzhou Military Mansion, yet entered the customs? Yu Wentai
He has already enthusiastically come to request a reward for Li Boshan’s father?
Although there was a lot of confusion in his heart, he still suppressed his curiosity for a while and said: "Then according to the Grand Master's opinion, what kind of reward should be given to the father of Taiyuan Gong so that we can show that our court is considerate of meritorious service and treats the virtuous with courtesy.
flow?"
"There are many officials and princes in the court who have calculated this matter. Although Li Renlue has not been famous for his achievements since his return to the country, he came from a famous family in the country, and his son Li Boshan has repeatedly made outstanding achievements, which has greatly benefited the country.
As the saying goes, the father is honored by the son, and it is not advisable to give him too little."
When this topic came up, Yu Wentai stood up from the table, took out two memorials and handed them to the waiter to the emperor, and said in a deep voice: "Chang Shangong Yu Taibao was originally ordered to take charge of the Southern Expedition.
However, he encountered difficulties and obstacles on the way and suffered from serious illness, so he had to transfer the matter to the Duke of Taiyuan. Yu Taibao was deeply ashamed of this and resigned from his residence, hoping that the court could pass on the meritorious service to calm people's hearts. I will discuss with the Dukes.
After a while, please add Li Renlue as Taibao and Shangshu Ling."
"Tai Bao, Shangshu Ling? Is this too generous a grant?"
The emperor was also thinking about giving Li Boshan's father a generous reward, but when he heard the two official titles mentioned by Yu Wentai, he couldn't help but stare in surprise.
In the court of the Western Wei Dynasty, Taibao was second only to Taishi and Taifu. It can be said to be the top honor that ministers can enjoy. Even the former Changshan Gong Yu Jin was replaced by Li Bi after the death of the original Taifu Guangling Wang Yuanxin.
After that, the title of Taibao became vacant, so he could be promoted to it.
As for Shangshu Ling, it goes without saying that he is the top person in charge of government affairs and the first among civil servants. Even if the court service is in name only, the rank of Shangshu Ling is still there after all, and it is by no means nothing.
Everyone can understand it!
Although Li Xiao is Li Boshan's father, he was just a white man before and had never held any official experience in the Western Wei Dynasty. Now he was promoted to the most powerful position, and one plus two people
A top honor, this is really amazing!
Hearing the emperor's exclamation, Yu Wentai's mouth also showed a bit of bitterness, but he quickly restrained himself and said seriously to the emperor: "The original intention of the official positions set up by the country is to fill the seats and wait for the virtuous people in the world to share their responsibilities."
State affairs. Li Renlue's virtuous reputation spread throughout the court and the public, and his son Li Boshan is a famous writer in other countries. It is appropriate to reward him with special rewards, and he is worthy of his name. I and the princes in the court believe that such an award is just in time, and if it is reduced, it will be too small."
Seeing Yuwentai's insistence, the emperor said nothing more and could only allow Yuwentai to summon the Zhongshu officials to draw up the edict on the spot.
Not long after, Yu Wentai returned to the big tent outside Wanshou Hall with the edict in hand.
After entering the account, he casually threw the edict on the case, faced the eyes of his subordinates and said: "Li Renlue has requested the edict to grant the title, and I can grant it at any time."
"That's good. We can keep the accrual in mind for the future."
After hearing this, Lu Tong, who succeeded Chang Sun Jian as the chief minister of the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Bureau, nodded and said: "First of all, if Li Renlue adds this vanity, the king can temporarily become a Zhou Dynasty and summon the power. No matter how powerful the Duke of Taiyuan is, he is only two."
A disciple who bows his head in front of the public table and accepts orders. If he refuses to obey any order issued by the court, he will be unfaithful and unfilial! How can a dishonest person last long? Now that his father is given the honor, he will not be in danger of losing his title.
Can be sealed..."
Yuwentai waved his hands a little irritably, not wanting to listen to Lu Tong continue to analyze the benefits of doing this, and immediately said: "If you can help Lu Changshi again, go to his hometown to summon Li Renlue to come to the court quickly to take charge!"
After hearing this, Lu Tong quickly stood up and responded, then resigned and left the tent. Seeing that the dispute between the Zhongwai Mansion and the Jingzhou Military Mansion had eased, the rest of the group secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. Now Li Boshan's hand
With an army of tens of thousands, and the great contribution to the capture of Jiangling, if the Chinese and Foreign Governments continue to fight against each other, then the entire Hegemony regime is at risk of splitting, and those of them who are involved in it may also be implicated.
When all the people left, Yuchigang, who stayed behind, suddenly said with a face of unwillingness: "Uncle, is there really no other way to punish this thief?"
After hearing this, Yu Wentai's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice: "Lu Changshi and others have planned to falsely seal Li Renlue, which can indeed temporarily avoid the worry of the army defecting, allowing me to more calmly plan the counterattack. There is no need for the Longyou Division and Brigade to go there again
Guanzhong, go straight to Hanzhong and go south with our brigade to attack Mianbei, we will surely defeat this arrogant army!"
