At the end of a banquet, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and Li Tai and his wife also conveyed certain messages to the guests in their own ways.
Li Tai did not use several phoenixes to force all the Kanto aristocratic families to marry Zhenbing, but he used this to express Kansai's own human situation, and he also had his own experiences and opinions.
Based on this understanding, in the future, whether it is human relations or political expression of ideas, each other can also take into consideration and choose a better way to avoid too much friction and collision.
But having said that, the marriage between the Guandong noble families and the Zhenbing can be regarded as a quick choice. Although the Zhenbing today is not as powerful as the Yuwentai period, after all, it has more than 20 years of assets since Xiaowu moved westward.
Accumulated, although Li Tai had previously cleaned up a group of them in the name of fighting chaos, there are still many that have not been affected.
These later Kanto clans needed material support to gain a foothold in Guanzhong, while the town soldiers needed to raise their family status and get rid of the Wuzong color, and uniting with each other could be considered as what they wanted. Of course, Li Tai didn't bother to interfere with what they would choose.
As long as it doesn't escalate into confrontation and internal friction, everything will be fine.
Miaoyin's behavior at the banquet in the inner palace was basically an announcement that she would take Lady Yao as her husband's first concubine.
So when the family banquet was over, she first sent the shy Lady Yao back to her room, and then went back to her room to wait for her husband to return.
When Li Tai ended the banquet, he was already smelling of alcohol. Fearing that the alcohol would offend his pregnant wife, he first took a shower and changed clothes before returning to his bedroom. When he saw his wife sitting under the lamp waiting, he said with a smile: "My wife should sleep well."
Why sleep at night?"
"Things must be settled at the time to be solemn. In particular, Mrs. Yao is very helpful to my family affairs. Although I can make my own decision about the new wife, I still need to consult my husband's true intentions. If I didn't ask before, it would be ambiguous.
Now that all the relatives and friends have met, I need to tell you what my husband thinks."
Miaoyin stood up and helped her husband into the banquet, then spoke seriously again.
After hearing this, Li Tai rubbed his face, and then said with a correct attitude: "Ms. Yao has indeed benefited my family a lot, and we should not be disrespectful to others because of the country's subjugation. The etiquette in the house is arranged by the lady.
Just cut it off. As for the outdoors, her father and brother will arrive in Chang'an soon. At that time, I will send people with special gifts to report this matter."
Of course, taking a concubine does not have to be as solemn and cumbersome as marrying a wife, but if you give more etiquette, people will definitely not get bored. Moreover, Mrs. Yao had previously treated Li Xiao, who was critically ill, and took good care of her own children, and Li Tai also
In his eyes, he naturally cannot treat her as an ordinary female slave of war who can be molested at will. Of course, he has never had this problem. Since they want to live together in the future, they must have the respect they deserve for their family members.
Although the husband and wife have a tacit understanding for a long time, to give Mrs. Yao a formal notice, of course, Li Tai must say it herself. Although Miaoyin has already figured it out and can deal with this kind of matter calmly, she is not so enthusiastic that she forgets herself.
After Lang said this, he nodded and said no more.
There was nothing to say all night, and on the next day, Li Tai had no time to stay at home anymore. He left the academy at dawn and headed to the imperial city. After arriving at the Prime Minister's Mansion, he convened a regular meeting with his staff to listen to reports on various matters.
After everything was reported and some new decisions and decrees were issued, it was already afternoon. Li Tai ate some pastries to satisfy his hunger, and then began to deal with other miscellaneous matters besides military and political affairs.
At the top of the list is the issue of Zongzheng's registration. Although the Yuan and Wei clans have long been arranged, from the perspective of etiquette and law, they are still the most noble people in this regime. Of course, matters related to them must be handled first.
.
Li Tai had previously persuaded the emperor to put aside the burden of the clan's personnel affairs. This would help maintain the emperor's detached status and be less involved in outside personnel affairs. The emperor basically agreed with his statement, and the matter was settled. Although it was inevitable that he would treat the clan a little coldly.
, but it’s better than being tormented and frightened by these people for three days and two.
Those who took part in the follow-up matters were Guangping Gongzan and Jiangyang Gongluo who took the initiative to apply. They first reported the list of people who were willing to attach themselves to the clan, which roughly accounted for two-thirds of the current Western Wei clan. In other words, three-thirds
One of the people would rather give up his status as a clan member than surrender his property to the clan for formal management.
Before Li Tai could ask a question, Yuan Luo explained: "Don't be fooled by the appearance of imaginary numbers, Mr. Tang. Those who are unwilling to join the clan are mostly the evil sons of the common branch of each family who are neither direct nor heirs."
, even if he saw the name of the clan, he would not receive the honor, so he made a big conspiracy to abandon the clan identity and put the money and property accumulated in the family under his name to hide it. In this way, the families can always receive the honor.
If you can provide me with food from the village, you will be able to prevent your property from returning to the clan. I am really ashamed to be a part of such a treacherous conspiracy, so I went to pay homage to Duke Tang to expose it!"
When Li Tai heard that there was such a hidden secret, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, you have a good plan, I have a wall ladder, the wisdom of the crowd is really infinite, and after only one day, he had already thought of taking advantage of the loophole.
.
"Mr. Jiang Yang is worthy of being an elder of the clan. He is dedicated to serving the public good. If he hadn't come forward to report this matter, how would I have known that people's hearts are so treacherous and dark!"
He first looked at Yuan Luo and praised him, and when Yuan Luo heard this, he immediately felt his muscles and bones go numb. He smiled happily and patted his chest repeatedly, saying that as long as he was here, these clans would never try to hide it from Tang.
male!
Next to him, Guangping Gongzan couldn't help but frown when he saw Yuan Luo's appearance. Although he was forced to assist in this matter, he could never be as bottomless as Yuan Luo.
"Alas, if the giant bandits have not been eliminated and the country is in dire straits, why bother with this plan to harass people? Now we only hope that the people of the clan can understand the general situation and tolerate each other for the sake of the country. The rest are not willing to join the clan and tide over the difficulties.
Be free and ask no more questions."
Li Tai sighed first, and then asked Yuan Zan: "In the past, the clan members recommended Zong Zheng, but I don't know if there is a good choice?"
Yuan Luo, who was next to him, immediately showed enthusiasm when he heard this, while Yuan Zan quickly said: "The candidate has been selected, but it still needs to be decided by Duke Tang. Duke Gong Chuo of Wei County is upright and righteous, capable and intelligent, and has always been highly praised by the masses.
.After this restructuring, the official affairs of the sect are complicated, and it is especially necessary to choose those who can attract public attention."
After thinking for a while, Li Tai nodded and said: "Since the people of the clan all support Duke Wei, I naturally have no objections."
Yuan Luo wanted to express his sincerity, hoping that Duke Tang would appoint him as Zongzheng after sensing his sincerity, but he did not expect that Duke Tang would still listen to the recommendation of the clan members, and he was greatly disappointed.
However, he was not disappointed for too long, and then he heard Tang Gong continue to say: "Jiangyang Gong has an upright heart, is eager for public justice, and I have also seen it. Now that all the family property has returned to the clan, it also needs Guanglu and other officials to manage it diligently.
, so that the clan family can live in a prosperous and prosperous life. Is Mr. Jiangyang willing to work for him?"
"Yes, yes! Thank you Mr. Tang for your appreciation, thank you Mr. Tang!"
After Yuan Luo heard this, he was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly. In his excitement, he even prayed directly in the hall to express his gratitude.
Li Tai didn't regard the clan as opponents who needed to be taken seriously. If they just accepted this plan obediently and still wanted to play tricks, then he wouldn't mind using Yuan Luo as a troublemaker.
The clan members dreamed that one person would leave the clan and the whole family would be rich and powerful. This also underestimated the sinister nature of people's hearts. Perhaps they thought that by virtue of their clan status, they could easily take advantage of those members of the general branch who left the clan with their assets.
But people don't worry about scarcity but inequality, so he uses Yuan Luo, an old rat, to manage their clan property, which will inevitably aggravate the imbalance. By then, there will be no need to trace the details carefully, and each hidden blood bag will be hidden.
They will self-explode, and when the time comes, they will inevitably report each other and everyone will be finished together.
After the two left, Li Tai saw Cui Qian wandering outside the hall, so he invited him in and dismissed the people in the hall. Then he asked Cui Qian again: "What's wrong with my cousin?"
After Cui Qian heard this, he sighed, and then said: "It's still a family matter of Duke Anchang. Although your cousin has passed away, her legacy is also pitiful. Her filial piety was unsatisfactory, she was impetuous and reckless, and she was exiled to Shannan.
It's not a bad luck. But I am diligent in observing the rules of filial piety, but I am just burdened by my brother..."
As long as people live in the world, they will be involved in human relationships. Li Tai does not require his subordinates to be selfless and unselfish. After all, Cui Qian is the uncle of the Yuan brothers. If he does not do anything like this,
If you speak out, that would undoubtedly be too cool.
After listening to what Cui Qian said, Li Tai said: "My cousin, there is no need to feel embarrassed about this matter. This matter is just a matter of people in the clan making false accusations in order to avoid themselves. Besides, the matter has not been done, and it has not been a big deal.
Harmful. It is inevitable to be the first to confuse everyone, but the rest will not be deeply involved.
If you have a promising talent, you can also be pre-selected to serve the country! As for those who are exiled to Xiangzhou, it is not necessarily a disaster. If you can establish yourself in that hometown and be brave enough to create, you will be called as a meritorious scholar in the coming year."
Hearing what Li Tai said, Cui Qian nodded in agreement, apologized again, and then stood up and exited the hall.
After Cui Qian left, Li Tai turned to the next matter, which was to receive the Southern Dynasty envoys who had just arrived in Chang'an. After seeing this, Li Tai couldn't help but wonder what the situation was like with Chen Baxian now, and what was the situation when sending envoys to the DPRK.
For some purpose, the officers introduced Liang Shi.
