0257 Social Priorities
On the day of Wang Meng's funeral, Yuwentai finally rushed back to Chang'an from the front line of Hefang in time to participate in Wang Meng's funeral, and the imperial court also deliberately boycotted the dynasty for three days, making his mourning even grander.
When the funeral procession slowly walked out of the city, Li Tai, who was preparing the road sacrifice ceremony in the tent, raised his eyes and saw that the Daxing Taiyi was the first to bear the brunt, while the prince, who had been very attentive and active before, could only be the second car, and it was difficult to dominate the team again.
Yu Wentai did not ride a horse, but sat on the ox cart in a vegetarian body, with a sad expression, and it was difficult to hide the tiredness between his eyebrows.
Putting aside the extraordinary affection between the Yuwen family and the Wang family, Yuwentai has always done a good job of benefiting people and buying people's hearts. Before the prince cried and mourned in front of the royal family, probably following his father-in-law's style.
Both of them have a need to buy people's hearts, but compared to the monotony and jerkiness of the prince, Yuwentai is more diverse and sleek. If there is one common denominator, it is that they are all lip service.
The prince really has nothing to buy people's hearts, and Yuwentai is poor and stingy, a pair of poor and sour.
Li Tai was in the tent with mixed thoughts, the funeral procession stopped in front of his tent, someone hurriedly entered to pack the wine and food of the road sacrifice into the food box, and Yu Wentai on the ox cart took advantage of this gap to wave to Li Tai and motioned him to come forward.
Seeing this, Li Tai hurriedly stepped forward, and when he got to the side of the ox cart, he saw that Yuwentai looked a little haggard, so he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Life and death are fate, cultivation is short, and the prince has experienced the taste of the world, and now his death is not a painful death, please mourn for the national festival......
"When did you come to Chang'an? Has there been any delay in the handling of the case? ”
Yu Wentai didn't pay attention to Li Tai's rainbow fart, but stared at him and frowned.
When Li Tai heard this, he was very unhappy in his heart, this guy really recognized money, and he didn't forget to ask himself to pay money, food and materials on the way to his uncle's funeral, which made Lao Tzu seem to be bent on paying his debts.
Although he was slanderous here, it was not easy to say bluntly that he came to ask his father-in-law Dugu Xin for the military industry to be placed in Li Hu's place, so he avoided the important and said lightly: "Daxingtai, please rest assured, Su Shangshu recently gave a face-to-face lecture, and the minister also knows that the matter is urgent, and he will not delay the big reading." ”
Yuwentai nodded after hearing this, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and his tone became much kinder, he raised his hand and pointed to the funeral procession behind the car and said: "The father of the prince Fu country, my ancestor and the elder of my sect, you can send it with you, which can be regarded as a courtesy." ”
Li Tai subconsciously wanted to refuse after hearing this, he didn't have any relatives with the Wang family, and no matter how idle he was, there was no reason to help people who were not relatives and send funerals.
But Yu Wentai had already spoken, and soon followed the attendant to bring robes, Li Tai saw that it was the regulation of the tent and not the clothes of relatives, so he stepped aside and quickly put on it, and joined Yu Wentai's honor guard to follow the team.
This scene happened to fall in the eyes of the prince Yuanqin in the back car, and his already not very good-looking face suddenly became even more gloomy, and he slammed his fist on the carriage, and said with hatred in his mouth: "This erector who tends to be inflammatory, and has an unrighteous heart, is really a famous scum, and has lost the shade of virtue left by his relatives!" "....But the current crown prince is only incompetent and angry, yesterday when he learned the news that Yuwen Hu dared to arrest his cronies in the East Palace without authorization, he still had the courage to send an envoy to ask for it, but when he returned to Beijing this morning, he was terrified in his heart, and he didn't even dare to mention this matter again.
Now after learning what happened, he was angry that the Changsun family was not right, and the prince hated Li Tai, the kid who dragged the matter to the East Palace, and the original appreciation and solicitation thoughts all turned into resentment towards Li Tai, and when he saw Li Tai join the team in the big bank's tent, the shame and hatred in his heart suddenly doubled.
But at the moment, he only has the power to be incompetent and angry, and he has no power to sanction Li Tai, a subordinate official of the Taiwan government, and now because of the eldest grandson, the entire East Palace is panicked, and now he is full of thoughts about how to remedy it in order to avoid implication and ripple as much as possible, and he is not in the mood to consider anything else.
After Wang Meng's funeral, Yuwentai did not leave Chang'an immediately, but personally entered the palace to see His Majesty the Emperor, talked with each other for a whole day, and returned to the prime minister's mansion in Chang'an City in the evening.
At this time, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, several cronies of the Taiwan Mansion gathered in the hall, and when they learned that Yuwentai had returned to the house, they got up to greet each other, and they were full of joy when they looked at their demeanor, and they knew that the result of entering the palace to see the emperor on this trip should be good, so they went into the front to say goodbye.
Yu Wentai walked into the hall with a smile on his face, first motioned for everyone to sit down, and then said with emotion: "In recent years, the atmosphere in the East Palace has become more and more frivolous, and public opinion is often sarcastic about this. Today, His Majesty talked about this section, and His Majesty also said that he felt the same way, originally hoped that the crown prince would grow and correct himself, but he didn't expect that the East Palace official Zuo Dexing had decayed, which was really shocking and heart-wrenching......"
The meaning of his words was very heavy, but there was an uncontrollable joy in his tone, which showed that he had a long-standing grudge against the East Palace in his heart, but he had been suffering from no suitable excuse to start, and now that the opportunity has finally come, it is really refreshing from the bottom of his heart.
He first pointed to Lu Tong and said: "Today's report to Your Majesty, please use Zhong Ming to enter the crown prince Zhan Shi, and from now on, the personnel of the East Palace will be paid to Zhong Ming, please be sure to work hard, assist the prince diligently for the country and the clan, and don't let the virtue and luck decline!" ”
When Lu Tong heard this, he was immediately surprised, but he didn't expect this matter to fall on his head. Prince Zhan is in the East Palace, and his authority and status are equivalent to the Shangshu Order in the court, and "Zhan" is the solution of "province" and is the great housekeeper of the entire East Palace.
If an ordinary person holds this position, it may not be a beautiful difference, because he has to be sandwiched between the imperial court and the overlord, as the official assistant of the prince, his power is not large but his position is sensitive, and he may be involved in the fierce political turmoil every minute. For example, the crown prince Zhan Shi before Lu Tong must not be as simple as dismissal.
But Lu Tong naturally has no such concerns, he is a confidant of Daxingtai, and he belongs to the Southern Dynasty, so he really lacks recognition and reverence for the imperial court, or for the current royal family, which is beyond reason.
If he is the crown prince, all personnel will naturally be subject to the will of the great power, and he will not consider it from the position of the prince. Even the most important official position of the East Palace, Prince Zhan Shi, was taken in one fell swoop, no wonder Daxingtai would be so happy, no matter what kind of personnel accumulation the prince had in the East Palace, he could also take this opportunity to sweep it away!
"Zhong Ming, after you take office, you must thoroughly investigate whether the official of the East Palace is virtuous and capable of performing his duties. In particular, such as the eldest grandson Shan, who steals official positions because of his relatives, one is found and one is punished. If they are only greedy for vanity, there are many other places to settle, but there is no need to mistake the inheritance of my family and country! ”
After Yu Wentai finished talking about this appointment, he said to Lu Tong with a serious expression.
Lu Tong nodded hurriedly after hearing this, and naturally understood in his heart that Daxingtai had drawn a policy to purge the personnel of the East Palace, and first of all, he would depose all the subordinate officials of the East Palace who were suspicious of the center of the clan nobles.
Although he also has little respect for the prince, it is not good to directly state that he must follow the instructions of Daxingtai, sweep away your son-in-law's henchmen and minions, and make him a real loner, so he said with emotion: "The accumulation of personnel in the East Palace is not a moment. Although, as the Lord said, public opinion is constantly discussed and ironic, but it is really rare to dare to speak directly and do nothing obscure like Li Boshan! ”
When Yu Wentai heard this, the joy between his eyebrows and eyes became even stronger, and he also said with emotion: "Li Boshan's talent and ambition are indeed not short-sighted because of his age, he is a person who is really worried about his plans and loyal to the society!" There is no shortage of people in the world, if it is not for deep feelings, how can you see the great trouble at a superficial glance?
Although Kansai is not known as a character, there is no shortage of young people who are wise and resourceful, so why is he the only one who has the courage to investigate this matter? It is nothing more than to be more upright, not to be blinded by those inappropriate foolish miscellaneous, and to truly understand the importance of social welfare! ”
Yu Wentai's words were not only overflowing with praise and praise for Li Tai and giving a very high evaluation, but also a little confiding in the resentment that had always accumulated in his heart.
He did his best for the survival of the Western Dynasty regime, but there are still many ill-intentioned people in the world, who only feel that he is a success because of people, and if there is no king who gives authority without reservation, he will not be able to maintain the current situation, and think that his existence is not irreplaceable.
The reason why the prince often makes him irritable and helpless is because there are many people who hold this intention.
There are even some paranoid and foolish people who do not consider the urgency of the current situation at all, blindly respecting the imperial family and clamoring to return to the court, regardless of whether this is the real way out or not, just to flaunt their noble character.
As a hegemonic minister, no matter how high his authority and prestige he enjoys, he is lonely in his heart. Because everything he has now is an undivided possession, not a worldly normality, and if he is not careful, everything may become empty.
Therefore, Yuwentai not only needs subordinates who can really help, but also needs someone to recognize and affirm him from the heart. In his opinion, Li Tai's courage to expose the immorality of attacking the prince's subordinate officials is not obsessed with the false status of monarchs and ministers, and he understands what the future of the world is.
After saying this, Yu Wentai still sighed a little unfinished and said: "The people of Kansai, or succumb to the times, or for personal reasons and under my control, Boshan He is not a disciple here, and his talent is enough to use things, but he can be dedicated to me bravely, if you talk about the sincerity of your heart, you are also among the best!" ”
This is a bit of a double standard, everyone has followed you without regrets for so many years, how did you end up with a green plum and not fall from the sky? Others are driven by you because of their favoritism, so didn't Li Boshan escape into the customs like a dog chased by the Eastern Army in Pishan?
