0768 The Affair of Iho

When people are busy, time always flies. When Li Tai was still exchanging letters with Yu Wengui and discussing the details of cooperation, time had gradually come to the end of the year.

At the beginning of the month, Li Tai's father-in-law, Dugu Xin, sent his former subordinate Huangfu Mu to Jingzhou, and brought Li Tai a shocking news: Yuan Lie of the Yuan Wei clan failed to murder Taishi Yuwentai, but was killed by Yuwentai.

Li Tai was not too surprised by this news, but after listening to it, he suddenly realized in his heart that the situation in the country had developed to this point.

Since he came to Jingzhou, his attention to the personnel in Guanzhong is no longer as high as before, and most of his energy is used to govern and develop Jingzhou.

After Dugu Xin was recalled to the DPRK, his right to speak on the current situation in Guanzhong was also greatly reduced, and occasionally some small actions were harmless. Even if he had something in his heart, he rarely bothered Li Tai.

This time, he took the initiative to send Huangfu Mu to make a special trip to inform Li Tai of the news, obviously in Duguxin's opinion, this matter is of great significance, even Li Tai, who is far away in Jingzhou, may also be affected a lot, it is better to know in advance.

Huangfu Mu told the process and details of this incident very clearly, and even the number and type of equipment stolen by Yuan Lie in the arsenal were involved, and Li Tai couldn't help but secretly guess in his heart after listening to it, but he was afraid that his father-in-law could not be said to be completely innocent in this matter.

It's not that Dugu Xin is also complicit with Yuan Lie or the emperor Yuan Qin behind him, but it is estimated that there must be a suspicion of not reporting or fueling the troubles.

It's not that Li Tai is messing up conspiracy theories, but that Duguxin has both such conditions and motives.

This incident occurred in the Liufang Forbidden Army, and Dugu Xin also served as a leading general, although the time was not too long, but when Dugu Xin was in the leading position, the then emperor Yuan Bao Ju and the Zhu Yuan Wei clan also had the need to win over the town soldiers to balance Yuwentai, and the two sides were going in both directions.

Another important point is that Li Hu has been stationed in Chang'an for a long time, and when it comes to the impact on the armed forces of Gyeonggi, it is also very profound. Although Li Hu is no longer here, it is normal for Duguxin, who has always interacted closely with him, to accept the personnel relationship he left behind.

According to Huangfu Mu, Yuan Lie's theft of the arsenal and ordnance was not a whim, but began with Yuwentai's return from Longyou, and it was brewed for several months, until the final death of the theft of important ordnance such as heavy armor was exposed.

For several months, although there was confusion in the personnel scheduling of the forbidden army, there must be people in key positions to help cover it up, so that this matter could be kept secret for such a long time.

Dugu Xin did not have the motive to directly harm Yuwentai, after all, he was now in the position of the Pillar State, and he was equally powerful, if he wanted to challenge Yuwentai's authority, he would also have to face the hostility of several other Pillar States, and the risk was too high.

But if he accidentally learned about it and chose not to report it, or even provided a little help in some indistinguishable places, it is estimated that he could do it.

Because no matter whether Yuan Lie and the others succeed or fail, they can strengthen their sense of existence as pillars.

If Yuan Lie and the others really attacked and killed Yuwentai, it would never be the emperor and the Yuan Wei clan who would come forward to preside over the overall situation, but their pillar states. If the situation is not as current as it is now, in order to prevent future troubles, Yuwentai must also obtain the consent and support of these pillar countries, so that he can directly sanction and retaliate against those behind the scenes.

This is indeed the case, just after the Zhongwai government ordered the execution of Yuan Lie, Yuwentai invited all the Zhuguo to Huazhou to discuss the matter. Although Yu Wentai can make a decisive decision in the handling of daily military and political affairs, but when he rises to such a political height, then he must unify his voice with the pillars of the country, and dare not act arbitrarily.

"Today, Da Sima is discussing the future plan with the Zhuguo of Huazhou, and because he feels that it is necessary to inform the Duke of Taiyuan about this matter, he sent a lowly official to tell him."

Huangfu Mu will be Dugu Xin's handwritten letter

The piece was presented to Li Tai, and he continued: "The intention of the Great Sima Guanyu Wen Taishi seems to be to do what Yihuo does. However, the first emperor has enjoyed the country for a long time, and the ministers are grateful to Dade, and the shade is still inexhaustible, if you take a dangerous plan and use it rashly, I am afraid that there will be unforeseen disasters, and things still need to be carefully calculated......

Li Tai nodded after hearing this, although the Yuan Wei royal family has been a puppet for a long time, it does not mean that there is no shade to fear.

Yuan Bao Ju has been the emperor for more than ten years, and Yuan Qin has also been the prince for more than ten years, not to mention living people, even if it is just a clay sculpture and wood carving tablet for so many years, it also has a good influence in people's hearts, and it will be destroyed and abandoned suddenly, it will also cause a huge impact on people's hearts.

Not to mention the Western Wei side, even Gao Yang in the east was opposed by many ministers when he was about to usurp the dynasty after two generations of his father and brother. For Yu Wentai, the yellow robe of the current emperor was put on by you, and now you have to take it off again, there is no reason to convince everyone, it is equivalent to taking what you said as a fart.

"Da Sima told the Duke of Taiyuan with his humble position, looking at this situation, there will be great turmoil in the country in the coming year. The Duke of Taiyuan is not an important member of the dynasty, and he does not have to be involved in this discussion, but if he can guard the border for the country, he is already a minister! Therefore, if the Duke of Taiyuan wants to return to China, there is no need to rush back for the time being."

Huangfu Mu looked at Li Tai again and whispered: "There are also stealing schemes in the heart of the lowly duty, the Taiyuan Gong has outstanding merits, and the United States is well known, so you don't have to go through this matter to show off your prestige and invite favor."

When Li Tai heard this, he nodded and said, "Thank you for the good words of the emperor, since I have been appointed here, I should concentrate here, and I can't take care of the troubles in the country."

It's not that he cherishes his reputation and doesn't want to participate in this kind of dethronement discussion, but as Huangfu Mu said, even if he participates in this kind of thing, it doesn't mean much to him. If this is really a good errand, Yuwentai will also call his two nephews to return to the country to deal with it, and there is a high chance that it will not be his turn.

What's more, the previous Shuzhong incident had already made each other a little unpleasant. If Yuwentai can successfully unify the opinions of the country and the central government and successfully complete the abolition of the establishment this time, then his prestige will inevitably rise.

If you don't live in an ancient monarchical society, you really can't imagine how exciting it is to depose the emperor. Even an unruly person like Hou Jing had to re-establish his majesty after losing the battle and escaping back to Jiankang.

A deposition, even if it is just the replacement of a puppet, means that the situation and order will change dramatically. If Yuwentai has any long-planned plans, he will inevitably take advantage of the period of prestige to carry them out.

So Li Tai also wanted to stay away honestly during this time period, and don't go to Yuwentai to wander around, so as not to stimulate Yuwentai to give himself some packages to play in advance.

With the completion of this abolition, the trend of transferring the supreme power of the Western Wei Dynasty to the Yuwen family is even more obvious. After all, the emperors of the Western Wei Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowu was killed by everyone's cooperation, the Yuan Bao Torch was also elected by everyone, and Yuan Qin was inherited from his father, but the next emperor was completely in accordance with Yuwentai's wishes to ascend the throne.

Although this matter has not yet been completed, seeing that Dugu Xin specially sent Huangfu Mu over to explain that he should stay away and not be bloodied, it can be seen that there is no strong resistance in the Western Wei Kingdom. The dignity of the Yuan Wei royal family once again became a tool to demonstrate the authority of Yuwentai.

Although Li Tai knew such a trend for a long time, when the real thing came to an end, his heart couldn't help but be sour, and sure enough, the boss drove a Land Rover and played XX under my hard work.

Huangfu Mu did not stay in Jingzhou for a long time, and went into the inner mansion with Li Tai to greet Miaoyin Niangzi, presented the gifts he brought one by one and relayed the message to her parents and family, and then took his leave and left.

Knowing that she couldn't return to Guanzhong to visit relatives for the New Year this year, Miaoyin was somewhat disappointed. Although Jingzhou is good, after all, there are no relatives and friends to accompany her, and the husband is often busy with military and political affairs and has no time to pay more attention to her, which inevitably makes this innocent and lively lady secretly resentful.

Li Tai saw this scene in his eyes, and deliberately concentrated some year-end affairs in the first half of the lunar month, and some less important ones were postponed for the time being, and arranged for Changshi Cui Qian to return to China to pay New Year's greetings, and the rest of the time he accompanied his mother all day long, or was tired in the house, or

went out to hunt and play, and also gave myself a comfortable annual vacation.

But there are some things that can not be avoided if you want to, especially now that Li Taigong is in a high position, and the size and power of the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion are so large, they are invisibly involved in all aspects, and it is difficult to be alone.

Although this New Year passed comfortably, and before the end of the year, he also received the good news sent by Wang Sengbi's envoy, which also made Li Tai a little happy in his heart, in short, he was happy when Northern Qi was unlucky.

It's just that after the New Year, things have become a little wrong, and nothing has happened in Jingzhou, but Cui Qian, who has returned to the New Year, has not turned around. At the end of the first month, Yu Wenshen, who was originally the commander of Yongzhou, served as the assassin of Xizhou, and came to visit Li Tai in Yucheng.

Because Xizhou is located in the access channel of Wuguan, although the jurisdiction is not vast, the location is very important. After his departure, due to the frequent flow of materials between Guanzhong and Chubei, Li Tai asked the Chinese and foreign governments for instructions to use his chief Shi Cui Qian to carry out Xizhou affairs, and also obtained the consent of the Chinese and foreign governments.

But now the Chinese and foreign governments have appointed Yu Wenshen to serve as the assassin of Xizhou without communicating with Li Tai, which inevitably makes Li Tai vigilant, what is the Chinese and foreign government going to do?
