0305 Promoted to Knighthood
"My henchmen are back!"
As soon as the two entered the hall, Yu Wentai above stood up and lowered the steps to greet each other, and without waiting for the two to bow down, he grabbed one of them with one hand and sent them into the seat. The two of them pushed but this enthusiasm, so they could only stand on the side of the table and bow again: "The ministers knock on the Daxing platform!" ”
"No courtesy, no courtesy, it's okay to sit in this hall!"
After Yu Wentai returned to the table and sat down, he smiled at the two of them, and then pointed at Li Mu and sighed: "The wind and snow in Beizhou are cold and cold, urging human remains, but fortunately, the quality of my general is as strong as a golden stone, and the edge is difficult to damage, and I am not afraid of the destruction of the wind and snow!" ”
Li Tai sounded a little familiar with this passage, but he didn't remember who he was talking to, but this is normal, there are so many henchmen under the boss's command, everyone is hungry and eager to get the Lord's care and encouragement, no matter how rich the boss's imagination is, it is inevitable that there will be similarities and repetitions, as long as the listener feels useful, nothing else.
Sure enough, after listening to it, Li Mu once again avoided the table with an excited face and said: "The lord has a great gift, and the ministers are moved from the bottom of their hearts, but there is an envoy, and he will not give up!" ”
This is really the grace of dripping water in return, Yuwentai only rewarded him with a total of ten lives, but he had to pay it back thousands of times, but it is a pity that this loyalty could not be maintained to Yuwentai's descendants.
Li Tai sat down in the seat after the salute, complaining in his heart that the two of them lacked nourishment and had a conversation, but he didn't interject, as if it was a little transparent.
Quietness can sometimes convey some information, although Yu Wentai is talking to Li Mu, who has been separated for more than a year, but his eyes occasionally sweep over Li Tai, looking at his calm sitting posture like a bell, it seems that his body is filled with a surging negative energy, which is very different from the appearance of the previous meeting, and his mood has become a little complicated for a while, and he actually has a slight sense of guilt.
With the passage of time, the feelings of separation have been talked freely, and then they gradually turned into an awkward conversation with nothing to say, but Li Tai still sat down and didn't say a word, Yuwentai finally had the mentality of the superior, seeing that it was like this, the feeling of guilt in his heart quickly dissipated, and was replaced by a sense of shame.
Li Mu saw that the smirk on the lord's face was getting drier and drier, and he was about to fall to the ground and fall into slag, of course, he also noticed the unusual atmosphere, and expected that Li Tai was affected by what his nephew Li Ji said, so he also laughed dryly, stretched out his finger under the eucalyptus and hooked the corner of Li Tai's clothes, and hinted: "Boshan, before you entered the mansion, didn't you still say that you want to talk to the lord about some strategies to calm Bian Hu?" ”
After hearing this, Yu Wentai also put on an expression of interest, and said with a smile: "Boshan's plan has always been to the point and point to the disadvantages of the times. If what you say is justified and indeed beneficial to border politics, you will be rewarded for all the merits you have accumulated before! ”
The meaning of this is also very clear, don't shake your face there to show others, I remember the previous merits and deeds, if you want to give a shameless face, then don't blame me for being polite!
After Li Tai heard this, he sighed secretly in his heart, after all, he was still inferior to Zhao Gui, a green plum, but the boss was willing to give him a chance to correct his attitude, which showed that he was not weightless in his mind. In that case, we have to ask for compensation!
He was thinking so in his heart, but his eyes blinked, and while he was brewing emotions, he left the table and fell to the ground, and his tone of voice was a little vibrato: "The minister, the minister is guilty, at the moment he is just in turmoil, his spirit is like being destroyed, his mind is completely thoughtless, he wants to, he wants to disappoint the Lord......"
Yuwentai saw his posture, his face suddenly sank, and he raised his hand to knock on the eucalyptus and snorted coldly: "Why did the kid make this gesture?" Why are you so resentful, you are not allowed to let people misunderstand me, and I am not allowed to speak directly in the hall! If anyone neglects the meritorious service of the country, I will not spare it, but if there are people who are confused and have no ideas, this is not a place for evil to breed! ”
Li Tai was naturally deliberately acting, but after hearing Yu Wentai say this, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and sighed that he was worthy of being a hero in troubled times, not to mention anything else, this ruthless ability to turn his face is also skillful.
Corporal Lixian was a special Scoop before, but now Xiao Tiantian has directly become Mrs. Niu, is Lao Tzu confused? It's as if all the hints that poked people's eyelids before were spit out of the dog's mouth!
It's a shame that Li Tai didn't take this matter seriously at all, otherwise Yuwentai's change in attitude alone would be really difficult to digest. It can be seen that you usually farm and I farm, whoever wants to move his heart is destined to become a loser in this relationship, Lao Tzu just has to be a fat and hairy Lu!
"Boshan, you are cautious......"
Li Muyin knew the reason, and he felt that this kind of thing would be difficult to digest for a while, and he was worried that Li Tai might be even more absurd, so he hurriedly leaned over and whispered a reminder, and clasped his fists and bowed upwards: "Lord, please calm your anger, Li is engaged in his ......."
"Xianqing, shut up and let him speak!"
Yu Wentai was contrary to the amiable appearance just now, his face was gloomy and majestic, which made people dare not look directly, but he still snorted coldly in his mouth: "A newcomer to Dongzhou, a powerless young disciple of Anointing Liang, has not been in Kanxi for a long time, and he enjoys all the officials and titles, far surpassing his peers, I am really curious, what kind of grievance can take away his mind and refuse to serve the country anymore!" ”
This is a bit mean, it can be seen that Yuwentai's own mentality is also a little out of control, and it is a bit of a thief's bluff.
Although Li Tai would not be frightened by Yuwentai, he didn't expect this guy to blow up a little bit, and he felt that he was hugging back, so he sobbed and said: "The ancient saying that three people become tigers, and the old minister's laughter is nothing more than the excuse of the mediocre self-indulgence and slander, or the frustrated voice of the Ming Lord."
Only now that the minister has experienced this matter, he knows that there are many things, and the minister believes it today! If the honor and disgrace of the minister are not enough, then how can the wisdom of the Lord be tarnished? Therefore, I have the courage to defend myself and ask the Lord to learn from it! ”
Yu Wentai didn't react more when he heard this, but just knocked on the table to signal him to continue.
"After the minister returned, I learned that there have been many evil rumors in the Taiwan government recently, and there are many ministers involved, I only don't know what to say at first when I hear it, but I am already angry when I think about it, I don't know what stupid scheming the originator of the rumors is, and I think that I can slander the name of the minister by this!"
Li Tai buttoned the basin first, but he couldn't say bluntly that this was slander, he didn't covet the daughter of the Yuwen family at all, but had to exaggerate this emotion a little more: "If you are young, you will admire your parents, if you know how to be lustful, you will admire Shaoai, and if you are rich, you will admire Jun." Don't be shy, the Lord lives in my hometown, and the gift is not different from my parents, this is a blessing. In the body of the officer, admire the lord, this is the second admiration. The age gradually knows that he is lustful, although he has no thunder pool, but God sends Shao Ai from afar, so the two Mu Ai and Wu, the minister wants to ask the Lord, what is the sin in this situation? What is there to criticize and ridicule? ”
Yu Wentai probably hadn't read "Mencius", after listening to these words, he first went through it in his mind, and then gradually figured out what Li Tai meant, and the shame and displeasure in his heart suddenly melted as quickly as ice and snow under the warm sun, and even faintly surprised.
Although his mood improved a lot, he still controlled his expression and didn't want to change too quickly, so he just bowed his head slightly and said: "This is indeed human nature, it's not worth wondering, if you don't have such a heart, it's different!" If you understand this, why should you be angry with those rumors? ”
"Affection and courtesy, it can not be said to be unreasonable, Xianze still exists. Although the minister admires Shaoai, his words and deeds are not lost, so it cannot be described as filthy and disorderly. The one who can speak only says one thing, not the other, disregards the name and festival, is extremely rude, and it can really be said that there is no family style! What's more, the reason why Yanchen is diligent and striving for merit is to steal the favor of non-share, such remarks are even more absurd, with no home and no loyalty! ”
Seeing that Yu Wentai's attitude towards himself eased a little, Li Tai was more relieved to deduct basins, and all the shocking charges were shaken out one by one, the old boy of Zhao Gui's family really has no family education and wolf ambitions, but this is the idol you chose.
Yu Wentai's face turned dark again when he heard this, and he had indeed heard some rumors in the Taiwan government recently, but he was not in the mood to inquire carefully about what he was talking about, and he didn't think that Li Tai, who was the bitter master, would bite back into the nonsense, so he was also unhappy in his heart, and directly raised his hand to summon the attendant and ordered: "Thoroughly investigate the people who have spread evil voices in the mansion recently, and those who dare to make absurd remarks will be severely punished!" ”
"The Lord is slow, this matter is hidden in front of people, and it is really not appropriate to announce it!"
Only harms others but is not good for himself, of course it is not Li Tai's style, no matter how much he says here, he is just too addicted, seeing that this marriage is difficult to obstruct, and when Zhao Lao Er really becomes Yuwentai's son-in-law, what situation will people inevitably have to help their relatives and not help them, so it is right to strengthen themselves.
After hearing this, Yu Wentai also felt that it was not appropriate to make a big deal about this matter, and he still had to deal with it in a low-key manner, raised his hand and motioned for Li Tai to return to the table and sit down, and then sighed again: "Boshan, you are a triumphant man, but you don't want my family affairs to be handled thoroughly, and you are tired of being criticized by the times." It's rare that you still don't lose the idea of forbearance, and I will investigate it again after the festival and give you an explanation. ”
"Not being envied is mediocrity, and this kind of experience is not new to ministers. The previous gaffe is only because I am afraid that the Lord will stay away from me. After all, the minister's state of mind can not be described as pure and innocent, and he is uneasy after being exposed. I know that this wants to be more than my duty, and it is also terrifying, but fortunately in the Lord and His Majesty, it is not only a matter of affection, but also a measure of the official can soothe and motivate people......"
After Li Tai laid the groundwork, he finally expressed his thoughts: "The loyalty of the minister to serve the lord is as firm as a rock, and he is unswerving, and he does not know how to behave in a panic, so he has the courage to ask the lord to give him the official title, so that the minister will always be kind and dedicated, and the lord can also accumulate minions and trust for a long time." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu next to him had become a little sluggish, looked at Li Tai and then looked at the big platform sitting in the hall, and by the way, he looked at the hall, his eyes were a little scattered, suspecting that he had heard it wrong, and wondering where he was, whether the person in the hall was the master?
Yu Wentai's brows furrowed slightly after hearing this, not as dumbfounded as Li Mu, but for a while, he couldn't figure out what the inner logic of these words was.
Although you are loyal and unwavering to me, you don't know how to express it, so let me prove it by giving you an official rank first? Can the court officials make an advance first, and then you repay the loan in batches?
"No nonsense! The court officials and lords have their own merits and merits, how can they be proliferated in order to declare their kindness! Your talent endowment is already outstanding, but if you are loyal and diligent, you will not be able to reach the name, so why do you need to think about it! ”
The logic inside this is too blunt, so that Yuwentai's thinking turns collided, and after reminiscing, he straightened his face and said in a deep voice.
Hearing that the tone of the lord's admonition was not mixed with too much reprimand, obviously not angry by this unreasonable request, Li Mu couldn't help but feel a surprise in his heart.
Although the Lord often treats his confidants and subordinates with words and deeds of kindness and condolences, he is by no means an approachable and pure good person. After all, it is to control the powerful forces of all parties, if there is no changeable and tough means, how can these strong and tyrannical people be allowed to bow down to the order?
Li Muzheng sighed to himself that the Lord was really close and conniving at Li Boshan, but what happened next suddenly shocked him.
"So what kind of rank do you think is worthy of your current talent and merits?"
After scolding Li Tai, Yu Wentai looked at him again and said, as if he really considered the previous proposal seriously.
Li Tai will not really be pampered and arrogant, crazy and boundless, after hearing the words, he hurriedly bowed and said: "The minister feels that he is grateful and progressive, and he is not afraid of heavy responsibilities and dares to be brave, but he also knows that his qualifications are still shallow. Although the villain has wild thoughts, he still does not come out of the Lord's measurement, but the Lord's judgment, and the minister will gladly respond to it. ”
Yu Wentai laughed when he heard this, this smile was neither like the slightly contrived enthusiasm when the two of them first appeared in the hall, nor like the stiff expressions when they were angry before, but regained a little more relaxed and easy-going earlier, and looked at Li Tai with some relief and regret in his eyes.
He didn't stay in Chang'an often, and every time he came, there were too many accumulated things to deal with, and after receiving the two of them to offer condolences, he led them to a separate dining hall.
After the two of them withdrew, Yu Wentai did not rush to deal with other things, but thought about what Li Tai had said before, and found a document, which was the bottom book of the reward for the heroes of the war in Beizhou.
Both of these are official titles from the third grade, and Li Tai received the honor at an age before he was a weak crown, and Yu Wentai was confident that even before the outbreak of the Six Towns Mutiny, when these clan portals were still noble, Li Tai would never be such a high-ranking official.
So when Li Tai showed his grief and indignation, Yu Wentai was so angry. This kind of promotion speed, except for the people who have made great contributions during the extremely turbulent period of the regime and a very small number of relatives and cronies who Yuwentai intends to cultivate and reuse, ordinary people will never be able to achieve it.
After pondering for a while, Yu Wentai added a few more strokes to this book: holding the festival and supervising the construction of the southern suburbs with the post of military guard.
