In the evening, the banquet was held in the side hall of the Chinese and foreign houses. It is said that it is a side hall, but the scale is a few points larger than the straight hall, watching everyone go to the hall in turn, familiar with the road to find a position, it is estimated that such a team building activity has been held many times.

Li Tai had the impression that such large-scale banquets were rarely held in Taiwan. Even if there are occasional such events during the New Year's Festival, most of the people who can attend the banquet are military generals. As for the Taiwanese assistants, they have to spend money to eat in Taiwan, and Li Tai went to work with food expenses in Taiwan.

Looking at the current situation, the power of Daxingtai is developing, and the welfare of the Chinese and foreign government members has also been improved, and they are no longer as unparticular as before.

Before the banquet began, Daxingtai deliberately went back to the inner mansion to change his robes, and asked Li Tai and the others to wait in the side hall first. It's not that Yu Wentai has become pretentious, but he deliberately set aside a little time for Li Tai and Chinese and foreign government officials to exchange pleasantries.

Everyone in the house also knew the news of Li Tai's return to the house, and it was not surprising to see him in the hall, and those who had not had time to greet him before stepped forward to say hello. Whether you know it or not, it doesn't mean much to do this kind of trivial thing, and if you don't do it, it's a bit of a problem.

Li Tai greeted everyone one by one, said a few more words to those who knew him, and responded to those who did not know, so he was busy for most of the quarter of an hour, and when the Daxingtai turned back from the inner house, everyone returned to their seats, and after meeting the Daxingtai, they each sat down.

At the beginning of the banquet, Yu Wentai first gave Li Tai wine, Li Tai hurriedly left the table to thank him, and then pointed out the theme of today's banquet, that is, to appreciate the stump of Hou Jing, an unfaithful and unrighteous person.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but sigh for a while. From a moral point of view, of course, they deeply spurned Hou Jingqi. But if you talk about his deeds alone, I have to admit that Hou Jing is really capable of tossing. The Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties confronted each other for many years and used troops on several scales, but they were far inferior to the results that Hou Jing achieved with only a few hundred remnants.

Just as everyone was talking about themselves, all kinds of drinks and meals were also presented one after another. Looking at the full dishes on the dining table in front of him, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh that the dietary standards of the Bafu Mansion had indeed improved. Looking at the food and drink of the other people in the hall, although it is not as rich as on his own case, at least there is wine and meat, and there are not a few boxes of cold vegetables to be sent away.

A government official with a loud voice stood up, holding a fu wen and read it aloud, the fu wen introduced the life of Hou Jing and the deeds of his rebellion, to the end of the rebellion and the abandonment of heaven and man, the main theme of the whole article emphasizes a loyalty, if there are disloyal and unrighteous people who betray the organization, the disaster may not be as serious as Hou Jing, but the end will definitely be worse than Hou Jing!

This essay is also one of the means to strengthen the ideological construction of the contingent, and it is not written by Chinese and foreign government officials. Not to mention whether there is such a powerful pen in the Chinese and foreign governments now, even if there is, I am afraid that I will not be able to write a subtle and touching Fuwen in a short period of time.

The author of this essay is Yu Xin, the first pen of the Southern Dynasty. After the rebellion of Hou Jing was put down, Yu Xin also joined the team of Jiangling Shiliu returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors, although Li Tai did not personally come forward to entertain, but he still entrusted the government to implore Yu Xin to write such an essay, in order to apply it to the current occasion in the country.

Yu Xin also attached great importance to this request, and perhaps he himself had a similar creative plan, so after contemplating and contemplating it, he submitted this essay to the governor's office.

Compared with the famous article "Mourning Jiangnan Fu" that was passed on to later generations, although this Fu article is also denouncing Hou Jing and describing the harm caused by Hou Jing's rebellion to Jiangnan, the overall tone is still positive, after all, now that the giant has been eliminated, Nanliang is also in ruins.

Yu Xin even named this Fu "Tiandao Fu", in his mind, in addition to thinking that Hou Jing was punished by Heaven's will, it is estimated that he is also saying that Nanliang Guozuo still has the Mandate of Heaven to protect, so the emotional color of the pen is much more positive than that of "Mourning Jiangnan Fu", which makes people feel quite excited in their ears.

Yu Xin's humanistic level is there, and Li Tai looked at his eloquence and talent after getting this article, and he couldn't help but sigh that he couldn't look down on people because they couldn't hold sugarcane, he was still very heroic.

Not only the food in the Chinese and foreign houses, but also the cultural quality of the government members is also improving, a fu is sprinkled with thousands of words, if you change the previous government members and those town soldiers, I am afraid that I can't help but yawn again and again, and I don't have the patience to listen. But after reading this article, the sound of reciting chapters and sentences continued to sound in the hall, which shows that there is still the ability to appreciate.

Yu Wentai also praised this essay a few words, and when he inquired and learned that it was Yu Xin's writing, he said with a smile: "If the Jiangling envoy sends this person to see in the coming year, you must treat such a talented person with heart!" ”

After appreciating the literature, the next step is to move the real chapter. The remains of Hou Jing's hands and feet were placed in lacquer plates, and they were passed around in the hall one by one under the orders of the Daxingtai.

Li Tai, as the person who made the offer, did not need to enjoy this treatment at this time, so he observed the expressions of the people with great interest. He dared to pack the ticket, no matter whether everyone hated Hou Jing or not, it was by no means a good experience.

It should be known that Hou Jing was conferred the title in April, and it was already May when Wang Seng sent his siblings to the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, and now Li Tai returned to Huazhou in June. Even if the remains of the siblings have been processed to a certain extent, it can be imagined what kind of state it is.

As a result, the expressions of those who have admired have become a little unnatural, and some even raise their hands to cover their mouths and noses and let out a slight retching sound.

At the banquet that followed, many people behaved a little out of shape, and even some of their diet was affected.

Li Tai had already been mentally prepared, and he was indeed a little hungry and thirsty after a long journey, so his diet was not affected much, so he let go of eating and drinking.

This banquet lasted for about an hour, and after the masses finished eating, they each got up and left, but Yuwentai left Li Tai behind and invited him to go to the inner mansion with him, it seemed that he had some private words to talk to Li Tai.

The pattern of the inner mansion has also undergone some changes compared to what Li Tai had seen before, with more sentry posts and decorative things. Li Tai didn't look left and right to observe carefully, and after a little look, he lowered his head and followed Yuwentai all the way to the inner hall.

After entering the hall and sitting down, Yuwentai smiled apologetically at Li Tai before he said, "There is one thing that needs to be done by Boshan." ”

After hearing this, Li Tai hurriedly lowered his head and said: "It is a matter of the minister's duty to share the worries of the Lord. ”

"Alas, the more respectful you are, the more ashamed I feel. You were sent out of the southeast of the town by me to raise the prestige of the country in Jianghan, and I should have sheltered your family in peace and without being harassed. But things did not go their way, and it was still inevitable to disturb the household, so that your father, a virtuous man who had escaped from the world and learned from the world, was angry. ”

After Yuwentai said this, he sighed, and then raised his hand and said: "Boshan has expanded the land for me for thousands of miles, I can't give Renluo the tranquility within the ruler, every time I think about it, the more ashamed I become, please Boshan, you must apologize to your father on my behalf after you return home." ”

When Li Tai heard this, the smile on his face also retracted and turned into a serious expression.

At the beginning of the year, Emperor Yuanqin feasted his clan relatives in the Chang'an Palace. Li Tai's second brother Li Chao married the daughter of Wang Yuanyu of Huai'an, who was also ranked among the twelve generals, and because of this relationship, he also had to attend the banquet.

The emperor in the banquet didn't know what kind of evil wind he smoked, saying that Li Chao looked like his maternal relatives, and said that he would give Li Chao the surname Yifu. This matter was a bit sudden, and Li Chao, who participated in the banquet, was also a little confused, so he said that he wanted to go home and ask him Lao Tzu, but he didn't directly accept the matter, and broke up unhappily.

Those who really have a number, according to this step, should also understand that things cannot be forced. But His Majesty the Emperor is naturally not an ordinary person, and after waiting for a few days without a reply, he actually sent a Chinese envoy into the house to inquire.

Li Tai and his old son were directly angry and sick, and said straight that he was an idler in the countryside, and he had no merit or crime in the country, neither the honor family needed to give a surname, nor the sinners needed to change their surnames to cover up their ugliness, the only thing that could be called was that the Yu family had an heir, but if he was destined to have no heirs, there was nothing to say.

This is more serious, even if others want to persuade them, they can't say it, and they can't say how can you be dead? You can still take your son's surname!

Li Tai was originally more sensitive to the matter of giving a surname, not that he felt how glorious the surname Li was, but it was not much glory to change his surname! If you really want Lao Tzu to change his surname, then just be Yuwentai, I will be Sabao's uncle, what does it mean for you to arrange to be Zhao Gui and his second uncle?

But then again, although the emperor's approach is a bit low-level, the target selection is quite accurate.

Now in the entire Western Wei Kingdom, even if some people are still close to and supportive of the Yuan rule, they simply do not have enough motivation and strength to directly oppose Yuwentai.

When the first emperor Yuan Bao Torch was alive, he worked hard to marry his daughter to Yu Jin's son, but when it was time to stand in line, this old fox could be trusted?

Dugu Xin also has close contacts with the royal family, and has many goodwill expressions, but in fact, it is also to take advantage of self-respect, and there is absolutely no intention to risk his life to defend Wei Tong.

The old slippery heads of the Zhu Kingdom one by one, not to mention those town soldiers, even the elder Guangling Wang Yuanxin of the clan, is also a good hand at pretending to be ambiguous.

If the emperor wants to reverse the current bad situation, he urgently needs an absolute strength and a person with the need to improve to support him. Looking at the country, the only one who satisfies this is Li Tai.

The emperor should also know that no matter what small actions are made in other aspects, it is nothing more than adding to the blockage of the old man. Only by pulling Li Tai and even the entire Longxi Li clan to his side can it be regarded as a real breakthrough. And this is also the fundamental reason why he has tried again and again to no avail, but still refuses to give up.

Therefore, it is really unfortunate to be an official in the Western Dynasty, and it is okay for you to dare to fight in the Eastern Dynasty, and it is okay for us to be the old watch of Jinyang, but no matter how good you do in the West, if you don't change your surname and change your ancestor, it will be unsociable.

To be honest, Li Tai does not rule out having a little deep connection with the Yuan family, after all, to be honest, as his position increases, the more he feels that the replacement of Western Wei by the Northern Zhou Dynasty is actually far from being as logical and unfazed as it seems on the surface, otherwise why not directly claim the emperor in one step, but add a heavenly king transition in the middle? Is it because of the accidental onset of secondary disease?

But the problem is that even if you fall in love with a wild horse, you have to have a grassland at home, let alone Lu with a horse like Lao Tzu! But what does the emperor have today? A little trash who doesn't even have a year name, what can Lao Tzu do for you?

Putting aside the emperor's own pull-over, the reason why Li Tai is unwilling to go against the hegemony now is that the external interests are now greater than the internal, and they are much better obtained.

Every time Yuwentai sees him, he keeps kissing the baby, is it really just because of his appearance? Especially in recent years, even the kind of pretending to be close to the laughter and reprimand in previous years has become less and less, just because Li Tai's strength is growing rapidly.

Especially when he knew that the most resistant uncle and nephew of the Yuwen family existed for a long time, Li Tai still had to stare at them and make the contradiction white-hot, which was really exciting.

But if you don't have this plan, it doesn't mean that you have to blindly forbear and dare not express any attitude. At least here in Yuwentai, Li Tai needs to set his bottom line a little higher, so that Yuwentai has some scruples and does not dare to interfere at will to infringe on his right to speak in the southeast.

So when he heard Yu Wentai take the initiative to mention this matter, Li Tai's face suddenly fell, and after a moment of silence, he became a little aggrieved, and after several changes in his demeanor, he said in a thin voice: "The Lord is serious, my father often has hidden thoughts because of the disaster of Heyin, and he does not love power. has been in the grass for a long time, so his mind is open-minded, and there are few taboos in his speech, and it is inevitable that his words will be disproportionate and indecent. ”

Yu Wentai waited to speak after hearing this, but soon Li Tai's eyebrows rose again, and his tone became firm: "But my father has a son, and the son is strong!" Since my father is straightforward, my brother should keep this feeling, and if anyone says that it is rude, he can talk to my brother. Within morality, there must always be room for a straight voice! ”

After hearing this, Yuwentai groaned slightly, and even nodded and said: "What Boshan said can be described as righteous and awe-inspiring, your father has such a young strong guard, why not be afraid of criticism!" ”

The trend of changing surnames in the Western Wei Kingdom will continue for a while. And Li Xiao's remarks also directly indicated that his sons were not allowed to accept the attitude of giving surnames, which was undoubtedly contrary to the trend of the times.

But since Lao Tzu has said everything, of course Li Tai has to follow: I, Lao Tzu, is a rural idler, he can say whatever he likes, and if any of you dare to beep blindly, it depends on whether I can get you or not!
