0949 Newly awarded Tang Gong

In the next few days, people from all sides entered Beijing one after another. And Li Tai, as the new leader of the overlord, also met and appeased these people who entered Beijing.

In the Western Wei Dynasty under the rule of Yu Wentai, most of the state and county officials were local heroes in Kansai, and the county of the state and county became the standard for the treatment of these powerful military leaders. In order to obtain such political treatment, these powerful people need to organize local township regiments to be loyal to the overlord, and reach a state of mutual benefit with each other.

Of course, in some places where the military nature and border defense significance are relatively large, it is still necessary for the hegemon to directly appoint officials, usually by military leaders and generals with outstanding military achievements and senior henchmen of the hegemon.

For example, Longzhou, which is connected to Longyou, is the one who serves as the assassin of Longzhou is Helenda, who was born in Beizhen. And the one who served as the assassin in Nanqi Prefecture, which was adjacent to Hanzhong, was Yan Qing, who was related to the Yuwen family.

As the situation and power structure in the country have changed, these people have reacted differently to it. Li Tai met with the people who entered Beijing for several days, and also summed up a rule, that is, basically the local heroes in Kansai served as local shepherds, and after receiving the summons of the imperial court, they all went to Chang'an as soon as possible.

As for other tyrants, especially some Beizhen generals, they often waited and watched, and did not rush to Chang'an as soon as possible, but sent their respective government officials to Chang'an, although they also expressed their respectful attitude towards the imperial court, but they still had certain reservations.

Cui Qian, who has been assisting Li Tai in handling relevant personnel recently, couldn't help but sigh: "The people of the old town moved west and lived in Kansai. Now that the old rule is gone, although the king has made outstanding achievements and is well-known in the government and the opposition, these townspeople are also worried that they will no longer be sympathetic and suspicious."

Li Tai couldn't help but nod when he heard this, and said, "Since Zhengguang, people in the world have talked about the general trend of the world, and many people in the town are unruly and rampant, but in fact, it is not. Although these kinds of things arise and are rebellious for a while, they are just wild sand and the wind stops by itself, and they are not allowed to be crushed into dust. Hokhun in the east and Otsuka Zai in the west, although they are different, they also have their own merits in protecting and selecting the townspeople."

In a specific historical scene, the Beizhen warriors can be called the well-deserved protagonists of the times, led by Gao Huan and led by Yu Wentai, the Beizhen warriors contributed a very wonderful story of confrontation and attack in the latter three kingdoms.

However, in the whole long process of historical evolution, the warriors of Beizhen are in a relatively disadvantaged position, and in the integration and progress of culture and history, they belong to a group that has been assimilated and eliminated.

Due to the relatively weak base and power of the soldiers in the Western Wei and Northern Zhou dynasties, coupled with the strong and effective guidance of Yuwentai, this assimilation process was relatively smooth, and the military policy represented by the government military system made the relevant internal contradictions not a problem.

As for the Northern Qi side, the process was much more difficult. Because the Xianbei armed group centered on Jinyang itself is backward, conservative, and violent, and they themselves have no ability to assimilate and tolerate other political forces and cultural traditions, and they refuse to assimilate and eliminate their excessively strong characteristics, the flashpoint of contradiction lies in the Qianming Change.

The Qianming Revolution can also be seen as the beginning of a systemic collapse within the Northern Qi Dynasty, although the more violent and powerful Jinyang nobles emerged victorious. But the follow-up development shows that you are useless to give you the opportunity, and the success of Jinyang Xungui through a violent coup d'état did not have a mature political program and means to consolidate it, and in the end it was seized by Enxing, which is also innocent.

Yuwentai has a natural identity advantage to unify and envelop these townspeople, just as Li Tai is also like a fish in water when he mixes among the Kwantung clans. This sense of identity, which comes from similar origins, is more likely to help people build trust and connection in a volatile political environment.

Now that the hegemony in Guanzhong is facing a problem of replacing the old with the new, whether Li Tai will follow the attitude and practice of Yuwentai in these towns will naturally become a concern for the people of these towns.

In fact, Li Tai's attributes of the townspeople are also very strong, he has close contacts and contacts with many townspeople, and even his wife is from a townman family. But compared with the previous Yuwentai, it still doesn't seem so rooted. If Dugu Xin is still there, then for Li Tai's appeal among the townspeople

The lift will be great.

But with all the pros and cons come with it, and sometimes what seems to be a convenient option can bury a more far-reaching and troublesome hidden danger.

These townspeople do not have too clever political means, and sometimes they lack a roundabout solution to disputes and contradictions, seeking common ground while reserving differences, and doing it if they are not satisfied is a relatively normal method for them.

If Duguxin or other powerful politicians provide them with a safe haven in this round of changes in the situation, then in the foreseeable future, there may be more violent internal friction, forcing Li Tai to engage in a dispute between the second palace.

Change inevitably comes with discomfort and sometimes at a terrible cost. In this process, some will inevitably rise and some will fall. Li Tai's advantage is that he now enjoys absolute initiative and can decide what to tolerate and what to abandon. For the wait-and-see of these foreign state and county governors, he did not care too much and was eager to cater to the change.

Of course, it is not completely unimportant, and some important areas, such as Longyou and Hedong, are areas that must be stabilized as soon as possible.

On the right side of Long, Yuwentai set up a Longyou platform, but as Yuwenyu led his troops to stay in the customs and was victimized, the Longyou platform has also become a virtual reality. Now presiding over military and political affairs in Longyou include Shi Dou Luning, the former head of Longyouxing, Xinwei Xinwei of Hezhou, and Shi Ning of Liangzhou.

Dou Lu Ning and Li Bi had a good relationship, Li Tai asked Li Bi to repair a letter before entering the court, and after arriving in Chang'an, he arranged for his brother Dou Lu Yongen to go to Qinzhou with this letter to summon Dou Lu Ning into the court.

Longyou is of great significance to the safety and development of Guanzhong, and Li Tai will never allow any uncontrollable hidden personnel dangers to exist in Longyou. Therefore, if Dou Luning also wants to defend Qinzhou and not enter the court, he will not rule out leading the army to Longyou to solve the matter. Of course, such a possibility is very small, and Dou Luning's motives and personnel base for defending Qinzhou are not large.

Shi Ning of Liangzhou was originally the old department of Duguxin, and in recent years, he has been sitting in Liangzhou to manage side affairs has also been fruitful, and Li Tai is also more at ease with his people, and there is no need to replace it for the time being. Therefore, he personally wrote to explain that Shi Ning stayed in Liangzhou with peace of mind, and he didn't have to worry about all domestic affairs.

The situation in Hedong is more complicated, because Didang is at the forefront of the confrontation with Northern Qi, and the Hedong clans have more salt and iron power, and when it comes to actual power and significance to the Western Wei frontier, it is even more powerful than the local Haoqiang in Guanzhong.

Li Tai's relationship with the Hedong clan is not bad, and his subordinate government members Liu Min and Pei Hong are all representatives of the local current in Hedong, and Wei Xiaokuan, who is stationed in Hedong Yubi City, can maintain a deep tacit understanding with him in politics and foreign attitudes.

However, these personnel alone are not enough to carry out an effective control and restraint on Hedong as a whole. In particular, the rise to the level of identification with the main body of the political power requires other methods and means.

When Li Tai talked to Cui Qian about this issue, Cui Qian's suggestion made Li Tai's eyes light up: "In the current situation, I am afraid that the king will not have time to go to Hedong to inspect military and political affairs in person in the near future. Moreover, Hedong has its own customs and order, and now the government decree has been changed, if it is urgent, it is resentful, and if it is slow, it is arrogant.

The old king of Taiyuan, although he praised the initial merit, but after all, it was not the territory under his rule, the old man took the righteousness of Weihe, and now he returned to the dynasty to govern, after all, he is not the hegemon of the United States. If the land east of the river is designated as a newly sealed country, it can be described as a great good!"

Li Tai nodded after listening to this suggestion, he originally had the idea of doing something on his title. Not only himself, but also Yuwentai and the other princes of the Yuan Wei clan, he planned to get rid of them all together.

It is indeed majestic to be crowned king before, but now he has become the actual boss of the overlord, not to mention Yuwentai for the time being, as far as these clans of the Yuan family are concerned, what grade and what merits do they have to be kings with me?

Moreover, in order to replace the Western Wei Dynasty, Yuwentai had already gone very far in this political temptation, but now that Li Tai has taken over this stall, at least in the short term, he has no idea of standing on behalf of Wei. Therefore, some of Yuwentai's personnel advancements before were a bit radical for him, and he needed to be collected backwards according to the actual situation.

However, if some political arrangements are to step backwards, will it give a hint to the current of time, especially

Will those Yuan Wei clans think that their Great Wei national fortune is good again, so they think twice and do something to do it?

Therefore, before making some retreats, it is also necessary to beat these Yuan Wei clans first, and it is a better means to cut off their princes. However, Li Taichu was in power, and it was not easy to be too targeted, so his own and Yuwentai were cut together.

After this plan, Li Tai rushed to inform the court on the eve of the New Year, and asked him to reduce his royal title in this turbulent and eventful year to show the prestige of the imperial court. And under his example and clear instructions, coupled with the persuasion of Cui Qian and others, a number of Tuoba clan kings also wrote to ask for their titles, including the Yuwen clan, who was still in mourning, and also told the court to follow the usual etiquette and give condolences to the court.

So all the kings in the court were reduced to the dukes of the county, only the Taiyuan Duke had great merit to the country, and it was appropriate to praise and award it to show his merits, so the land of Hedong Fen, Jiang and other ten states was the country of the ancient Tang Yao, and the Duke of Taiyuan was the Duke of the Tang Dynasty.

Although Li Tai, the newly promoted Tang Duke, has been demoted by one level, he has also ensured that there is no longer a seal in the country, making himself a unique existence. And after unsealing this new power name, he also restored the Yuan family name that was deprived by Yuwentai before the Tuoba family.
