Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

Chapter 308: Love as before

When Li Mu heard that Daxingtai had awarded him a new official appointment, Li Tai's depression suddenly disappeared, and he only felt that Daxingtai still loved me!

There is nothing to say about maintaining integrity. If it were during the Han Dynasty, it would be really awesome and not something ordinary people can achieve. Even during the Wei and Jin Dynasties of the Three Kingdoms, it was worth a look.

However, after experiencing the chaotic era of Wuhu, and now at the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the solemnity of the honor of "Zhijie" has been greatly reduced. Generally, military leaders who have reached a certain level of power will not be able to live without this honor. It’s nice to talk to people.

As for the power of life and death represented by Chi Jie, it has little practical significance. In today's world, the power is as sharp as the blade. Even if the emperor does not have the strength to kill someone, he still has to pay with his life. For example, Emperor Xiaozhuang and Er Zhu Rong.

As for any actual value, it is that the military flag is bigger and more majestic. Especially when all armies are fighting together, it is impossible to convey flag and drum orders and gain command of the battlefield without restraint.

Li Tai had already obtained the title of Metropolitan Governor. If he added the treatment of "Jie Ji", a wonderful chemical reaction would immediately occur, that is, with sufficient reasons, he could temporarily control some people who were not under his jurisdiction. , of course, the premise is that the opponent's main position is not as good as yours.

Usually some state and county officials hold the title of Commander-in-Chief, Commander-in-Chief, etc. to command the armed forces of the rural regiments. Li Tai, the chief governor who upholds integrity, has the power to temporarily recruit the armed forces of the rural regiments under his command to cooperate with him, without the need to request the overlord government. Authorize, but you must clearly explain why you want to do so afterwards.

Of course, the actual exercise of powers is more complicated. After all, some state and county chiefs themselves have moral integrity. Therefore, the evolution of this right of restraint to this day is sometimes really remarkable, and sometimes it is just a proof of identity.

The Dispersed Cavalry Permanent Attendants and the Conscripting Generals are just civil and military officials used to calibrate the rank, and they have no specific authority in themselves.

However, it should be noted that the rank of Dispatched Rider is a noble official position. It is mostly held by the most famous among the scholars or those with unusual status. It is more noble than the military position of the same rank.

When Zhou Panlong, the general of the Qi Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, returned to the court in his later years and served as a regular servant of the scattered cavalry from Pingbei General, the emperor once asked jokingly: "How can you carry a Diao Chan like a pigeon?" Zhou Panlong replied: "This Diao Chan has its ears coming out of the pigeon. "

Zhou Panlong's response could be described as neither humble nor arrogant, and was convincing, but this incident also reflected that Dou Ming was obviously not as noble as Diao Chan.

Although the atmosphere of the Northern Dynasties was more pragmatic and more martial than that of the Southern Dynasties, when it came to the issue of conferring official titles in the imperial court, some nobles and nobles would not confer military officers lightly, and would only add this vanity when the official titles reached the second rank or even higher.

There is no need to say much about Li Tai's background, but at this age and with high qualifications, he has been awarded the honor of being a regular attendant on horseback. This is undoubtedly the preference and care of the superiors. It should be noted that even Yu Wentai's son-in-law, Yu Laoer, and the others are still just regular servants, but Li Tai has become a regular member.

As for the promotion of General Zhenglu, Li Tai might have been excited before the change, but now in his eyes, he is just a general with a general name, and he doesn't even feel as good as his previous title of General Zhenyuan. After all, except for General Zhuguo, the other general titles are almost meaningless.

Although General Wuwei also falls into the category of almost meaning, it is different from ordinary titles. It is a real official position, and he is an important military attache in charge of the imperial guards. When Li Tai and his father-in-law Duguxin followed Emperor Xiaowu to the west, his official position was General Wuwei.

It stands to reason that Li Tai has been avoiding too much contact with the Yuan clan for fear of encountering evil things such as the tunic edict. He should have been more resistant to showing up to the emperor's family, but the actual situation was not like this.

Nowadays, the imperial court has been emptied out and the hegemony is in power. If you want to control the puppet family of the emperor, the most important link is the Suwei Imperial Army.

Therefore, since the establishment of the Western Wei Dynasty, Yuwentai has been appointing his relatives and confidants as generals of the Imperial Guard for a long time. Brothers Yuwendao, He Lanxiang, etc. were all trained in these positions. After Li Mu saved Yu Wentai's life in the Battle of Heqiao, he was also assigned to the position of General Wuwei. Then he began to be promoted like a rocket, and he was able to open a government and manage affairs in just a few years. , received the highest level of military commander treatment.

Therefore, Yuwentai also has a rule in appointing military generals. His own bodyguards, personal military governors, etc. often value their talents and appoint them around him for inspection and cultivation. However, when selecting generals of the Forbidden Army, he must be cautious. Much more, fearing that the blockade against the royal family will be leaked due to the choice of non-human beings.

Especially at the end of the Great Unification, the position of General Wuwei almost became the exclusive position of Yuwentai's sons-in-law, because they did not trust others. In other words, to serve as a guard of the Bafu can only be said to be a seed player, but to serve as a general of the Imperial Guard, one must be Daxantai's confidant!

Li Tai probably didn't have the fate to be Yu Wentai's son-in-law, but the official position exclusive to the son-in-law group was taken in advance, which is really a bit of a twist of fate.

The employment rules of Daxingtai can be regarded as unspoken rules understood by the masses, so when Zhao Gui and others learned from Li Mu that Li Tai was going to serve as the general of the military guard, they were all surprised and couldn't accept it.

Li Tai had just been ridiculed by Zhao Gui but had no way to fight back. Naturally, he would not be polite at this moment. Dang even said with a flattered look on his face: "I am a military guard, and I am a guardian of the country. How can I be worthy of being the master?" Such appreciation and reuse! The special favor is deepened, and I am very grateful. I will not let go of my guard. Anyone who dares to violate the ban will be killed with the Lord's rod!"

While he was talking, he glanced at Zhao Gui and everyone around him. He felt very happy. Before, I was worried that there were so many of you that you wouldn't block me, but now that I have become a general of the Imperial Guard, you guys can guess. Will I mess with you on the way?

If anyone is discovered by me with a small piece of cloth brought from the palace hidden on their body, I will skin you for the Lord!

Although Zhao Gui and others could not guess that Li Tai was making such a vicious and sinister plan, seeing his expression, they could imagine that he was definitely not holding back anything good.

In particular, Zhao Gui realized that although he relied on his old love to seize the opportunity when it came to marrying the same master, it did not mean that he would defeat Li Tai.

In less than three years after entering the country, this kid went from being a mere white guy to a general of the Imperial Guard. The speed of his promotion was staggering, and he was sometimes as dazed as a young man, fearless of anyone.

Although it is difficult to repair the friendly relationship between them, Zhao Gui does not want to continue to deteriorate, especially because he needs to avoid some head-on conflicts. Winning is not worth boasting, and losing is very embarrassing.

After weighing it in his mind, Zhao Gui slowly stepped forward and said to Li Tai with a smile: "Congratulations to Li Zhengng for being reused again. The Lord recognizes a wise man and does not hesitate to reward him. Li Zhenggang is a young hero and has met his benefactor. It is really true that he has met his benefactor." They complement each other. I have other things to worry about here today, and I will send a dog to my door in the future to congratulate you. I also hope that Li Zheng will not hesitate to teach me and support you. "

"So, I really want to thank Mr. Sun Yat-sen. There is no need to bother preparing gifts when I come to congratulate you. I received a good horse from Mr. Sun Yat-sen at the Baishui Parade a few days ago. It is very effective and helps me to increase my new skills, so I have today's kindness. Reward. If Mr. Zhongshan gives you another good horse as a congratulation, I will sweep the bed to welcome you!"

Li Tai also smiled and nodded towards Zhao Gui, but the words he said could still make him choke to death. Then he and Li Mu exited the mansion, and headed towards the imperial city with his cousin Cui Qian.

After Cui Qian learned about Li Tai's new official position, he was very happy for Li Tai. Especially when he learned that Li Tai would supervise the construction of the southern suburbs of Yuanqiu with the post of General Wuwei, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and applauded him repeatedly. Li Tai said: "Daxingtai is so kind and kind to you. In the coming year, our relatives and friends will all rely on Apan!"

The so-called Circular Mound is the Temple of Heaven, a place where emperors used to worship heaven and earth. It can be imagined that it is of great significance to a country. It's just that the Western Wei Dynasty itself was not a normal regime, and even survival was a problem in the previous few years, so the construction of such an important heaven-sacrifice place was delayed until this year.

In fact, after entering the twelfth lunar month, the construction of Yuanqiu has already begun to select a location. This thing itself is made by people who are generous and thrifty. If you don't mind the trouble, you can build as many grand halls as you want. If you don't want to overdo the work, you can just pile up the soil.

Neither the financial situation of the Western Wei Dynasty nor Yu Wentai's wishes supported large-scale construction projects, so the construction of the circular mound was as simple as possible. The project has almost come to an end now. Therefore, Li Tai, the so-called supervisor, was just a name to brush up on his qualifications.

Although the Yuanqiu project is simple, the qualifications of the supervisor are very important, because this is a real participation in the construction of the entire political ideology, which is a very prominent honor and contribution.

"My Lord, you are indeed very kind to Boshan!"

Li Mu looked at Li Tai with an envious look on his face and said with emotion, as if he saw himself a few years ago. At that time, the Battle of Heqiao had just ended, and the Lord led his army back to Chang'an to quell the chaos. In gratitude for his life-saving grace, he asked him to appease various places in Guanzhong. After returning, he was promoted to various positions and titles.

But at that time, he was still going through life and death, risking his life to save the Lord from the front line, but what about Li Tai?

In terms of merit, I fought side by side in Beizhou this time and did a good job. If there is any difference, it is that I did not shamelessly ask the Lord to give me a promotion or promotion. Could it be that Just because of this, the Lord feels that he does not need the encouragement of an official?

Li Tai took the initiative to ask for an official title, which was already too much in Li Mu's opinion, but it was really coming, which would inevitably subvert Li Mu's three views.

On the way to the imperial city, Li Mu kept looking at Li Tai, and it took a lot of effort to resist asking what magic spell Li Tai had used to confuse his lord, so that his lord, who was always clear about rewards and punishments, showed no favoritism towards him. Bottom line!
