In the evening, Yu Wentai returned to Taifu, and the pleasure brought by the Beizhou good news had already subsided most of the time, but he was not annoyed by Zhao Gui's pretending to be sick and selling miserably, but he felt a little tired. So he didn't go back to the straight hall to look at things, and went straight back to the inner house.

Not long after returning to the house, several people posted to ask for a meeting, either because of the good news from Beizhou, or because they heard the news that Zhao Gui was infected with a serious disease. The two messages appeared on the same day, but they gave people very different feelings.

Yuwentai's current mood is not happy to see outsiders, and the members begged to see everyone tomorrow, and only let his nephew Yuwenhu and a few nephews come into the house to accompany him to dinner.

After a few people sat down in the hall, their eyebrows and eyes exchanged, and He Lanxiang, who was the most old and serious and had already opened the government to govern affairs, took the lead and said: "Uncle, I heard that Beizhou has spread good news again, and Hua Zhenggong and others will break the thief Hu Jukou on the border again?" ”

Speaking of this, Yu Wentai's eyebrows and eyes stretched a little, and he said with a smile: "It is the urgent report of Li Xianqing that I received during the Baishui Grand Parade before, when Li Boshan took the initiative to ask for the troops to go north. Li Xianqing did not distinguish the thief's reality and rashly attacked, trapped in the state city after being trapped, fortunately rescued in time in Li Boshan, outside the city to break the thief division, and then all the way north to kill, Xiazhou Yonggui also sent the state soldiers to respond, greatly hit the thief Hu fierce flame! ”

When Wei Chi Gang heard that Yu Wentai praised Li Tai a lot in his tone, as if his talent was the key to the victory of this war, he was a little unhappy in his heart, and couldn't help but speak: "In this battle, the people of all the states are gathered, and the commanders of the troops are all known to be good at fighting, and the attack is not known for being strong. Li Boshan's cutting-edge young general, running around in the matter may be good, but if it is said that the victory is against him, I can't believe it anyway. ”

Next to him, Wei Chi Hui heard that his brother's tone was slightly excited, and his meaning was also a little explicit, and he was worried that he would annoy Daxingtai, so he frowned and scolded: "A war that happened in a remote Hu Huang realm, how can people outside the matter know all the details inside, how can they judge lightly!" When the brigade enters the mansion and the detailed battle report is submitted, how will the matter be seen by itself, and if there are really people who want to disturb the public because of their remote location, how can they be spared! ”

】

Yu Wentai listened to their brothers sing and harmonize, his expression did not change significantly, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly sighed, and then said with regret: "Li Boshan is a young hero, both civil and military, and he is really talented, even some narrow-minded old people are afraid of losing power, and of course they will inevitably suffer from the jealousy and rejection of the same kind of people who come later. But even if it's just a kind face, if it can be maintained, it still has to be maintained, and it is useless to provoke a big deal for my family, and it is no longer tolerable to ridicule. ”

When several people heard this, their expressions were cold, and they nodded again and again. Especially Wei Chigang, who was the first to open this topic, his eyes rolled wildly and he wanted to explain and make up for it, but under the hints of the eyes of several other people, he was also worried that he would say too much and make mistakes, so he didn't dare to speak indiscriminately.

When the dinner officially began, Yu Wentai invited his children to dine together, and specially called the five daughters to his table, and after looking up and down, he sighed with regret: "After all, your little woman's blessing is not deep enough, and she missed the thought you have made for you." ”

The little woman was not very old, and in the face of the majestic Aya, she just timidly bowed her head and pinched her skirt, not knowing what Aya was talking about, and not daring to answer.

But after the other elders in the banquet heard Yu Wentai's meaningful words, their expressions changed somewhat significantly, and Wei Chigang was busy raising his glass to cover up the smile on the corner of his mouth.

Yuwen Hu, who has not been talking much since he sat down, also had a little joy in his eyes at this time, but he was not in a hurry to speak, and when he was pouring wine for Yuwen Tai in the middle of the meal, Yuwen Hu asked in a whisper: "Uncle, how is his condition ...... Zhongshan Gong?"

Before he finished speaking, the wine glass in Yuwentai's hand was put on the ground, and most of the wine that had just been poured into the glass overflowed. Seeing that Yuwen Hu's expression was a little frightened, he forcibly suppressed the irritability in his heart, waved his hand and said, "Don't do your business, the veteran will play me!" ”

The unhappiness in his heart was turned over by Yuwen Hu's question, and Yuwen Tai lost his appetite when he boarded, threw himself into the eucalyptus, and drank a few glasses of stuffy wine one after another.

Seeing this, everyone in the banquet did not dare to let go of their stomachs and eat large pieces. Yuwen Hu and a few others didn't dare to speak rashly, and Yuwentai's eldest son Yu Wenyu hurriedly avoided the table, stopped the younger brothers and sisters who were eating and drinking without realizing that the atmosphere was different, and led a few little beans to bow to their father and leave.

"Tongwan is becoming more and more like the head of the household!"

In order to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere, Yuwen Hu pointed to Yuwen Yu's back and praised with a smile.

Although Yu Wentai's mood was a little angry, his expression eased a little after hearing this, and he nodded: "This kid's bearing is indeed not like a soldier of a family, but if you talk about the head of the household, he is still far behind!" ”

After saying this, he no longer bothered about his mood, and said to Yuwen Hu: "Wait a few days, you will go to Zhao Yuangui's mansion with a book, and call his young son to be employed in the house, and be classmates of the Li family and the Yu family." ”

When Yuwen Hu heard this, he guessed that most of the rumors that Zhao Gui was critically ill were that this old boy pretended to be sick and used his old feelings to coerce his uncle, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart.

Although he was unhappy that Li Tai was his own son-in-law, in order to prevent this from happening, he even secretly communicated with Zhao Gui, but Zhao Gui's pampered and arrogant approach also made him feel very unhappy, so he didn't bother to explain that Zhao Gui's young son was already studying in Fuxue, but he knew that there would be one more kid who came to sign in with him.

Helan Xiang opened the army and had a deeper understanding of military affairs, so he could better understand why Yuwentai made such a decision.

He stood up, bowed his head not without shame and said: "After all, the juniors are still short of talent and not worthy of the family and country, and the tired uncle still needs to suffer from these old and ugly feelings, and his spirit has not been able to grow up. ”

"You've done well, well, and I'm ...... at your age Well, it's more prosperous than you are now, and that's what the times are urging. If you want to replace all my old righteousness and old goodness in a short period of time, it is too underestimating the meritorious wisdom of your predecessors. ”

After hearing this, Yuwentai waved his hand, signaled to Helan Xiang and sat down first, and proudly showed off his youth, and then said with emotion: "Zhao Yuangui, although he is not known for his bravery, but he can negotiate with the masses, and now he may be a little arrogant, but his ethics in his early years are considerable, and everyone is happy to obey. So when Qing Shui Gong was killed, he was able to control the feelings of the people and welcome me.

Although it is not the other now, if there is no time, how can there be today? I should be kind to him in all matters and things, if this kind of thing cannot be tolerated, how can the later ones believe it? ”

His words were not so much to the juniors here, but to explain himself, the so-called "not forgetting the original intention" Yunyun is a little hypocritical for a hegemon, whether it is out of internal unity and stability, or to continue to use Zhao Gui's influence and appeal in the old Wuchuan department, he also has to make such a decision.

Zhao Gui's pretending to be sick this time actually reminded Yuwentai that with the development of the force itself, his attention and reliance on these Wuchuan Township parties were indeed not as good as in his early years, and even Yuan Cong like Zhao Gui secretly had a sense of suspicion and urgency.

Putting aside the appointment of various official positions, specifically in the marriage of children and daughters, which can best reflect the depth of affection, it is a matter of course that Yuwentai's eldest daughter is suitable for the emperor, and then married Li Yuan, a confidant, and then Li Bi and Yu Jin, none of them are old friends of the Wuchuan Township Party.

If according to his original idea, marry Li Tai, the descendant of the Li family in Longxi, not to mention what other parties will think, at least the mentality of these Wuchuan party members will be a little unbalanced. Although everyone has deep feelings and does not have to be too deliberately promoted, it must at least be late but not far away!

After the Battle of Bishan in the ninth year of Datong, Yuwentai's most important thing was to restore the army and combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and everything else was not the focus for the time being.

Under such a mentality, when the young man Li Boshan first appeared in his sight, he proposed a military and political framework that he had been planning for a long time.

At the beginning, he thought that he should be a conceited family history and a young man who was keen on talking on paper and making a lot of nonsense, but then every step of this kid's suggestions and actions almost scratched Yuwentai's itch, just right to cooperate with the pace of recruiting Guan Longhao's Youxiang group, which made Yuwentai faintly give birth to a sense of ideological fit, which was sometimes even stronger than when he interacted with Su Xuan.

It is precisely because of this sense of fit that Yuwentai also pays more attention to Li Tai, although this kid's prestige and merits are still shallow, but he inexplicably feels that this kid will definitely shine in the Kansai region under his rule.

The fate between people is very wonderful, and Yu Wentai wants to adopt Li Tai as a son-in-law, so that some situations are ignored by him because of this idea.

For example, although the process of this big parade is going very smoothly, and the people and horses who have been trained for three years have gradually become stronger. But then a question arises, that is, will this army with a large proportion of the right part of the Han people Hao be as wholeheartedly supported the hegemonic regime of Yuwentai as the Xianbei people before them?

There is no turning back from the bow, and Yuwentai will not give up the pace of the whole army for such worries, but it is also urgent to strengthen the control of the army as a whole. It is necessary to adopt some government decrees and means to strengthen the recognition and support of Guan Longhaoyou, who served as middle- and lower-level generals, for his hegemonic regime.

And before this goal is achieved, of course, we still have to rely on those old personnel structures and relationships to control and balance the increasingly considerable power of Guan Longhao.

Thinking so much in his mind, although Yu Wentai still felt a little pity, but he was no longer as angry as before, seeing that it was getting late, he waved his hand and retreated from everyone, and when he was about to go to bed and rest, it was suddenly the old man who talked about the madness of youth, and directly summoned several concubines to enter this bed.
