Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

When your boss asks you what job you want to do, it’s a really testing question. In general, the answer is not important, the attitude is.

But what Li Tai faced was not an ordinary situation. At least the relationship between him and Yuwentai was not a simple superior-subordinate relationship, so some routine answers were obviously not enough to make Yuwentai feel relieved.

For example, just now Yu Wentai questioned whether he was still his subordinate, Li Tai couldn't fool him with a few flattery words like before.

Yu Wentai asked this question because Li Tai's future was out of his control. Not to mention Dugu Xin, even Shui Hui pointed out Li Tai's next move before Yu Wentai expressed his stance. It was inevitable that his confidants would lose control. He was grudged.

Therefore, Li Tai could only give a more realistic answer. Although I am quite handsome, I am only a half-grown young man. Only in the Western Wei regime under the leadership of Daxingtai can I obtain everything I have now. Dongbian Heliu Although Hun is my big brother, he really doesn’t treat me well. Moreover, my qualifications are not commensurate with my position. I must make meritorious deeds to ensure my current status.

Although this answer lacks emotion, it is logically very convincing. Yu Wentai did not continue to argue about this, but started another topic. How are you going to make a contribution?

To be honest, Li Tai was really flattered when he heard this question.

The time in Daxingtai is not given in vain. In addition to confronting Gao Huan, his destined old enemy, he has to find time to fight against others. To actually waste so much time on his own personal future, it shows that he still has a lot of problems in his heart. I feel like I can still save a life, but it would be a pity to just give up.

Yu Wentai had obviously been planning for today's conversation. He first introduced Su Chuo as his candidate, and pointed out that Su Chuo was his recommender. Even though he was seriously ill, he still planned to recommend Li Tai as his successor.

Regardless of whether Su Chuo said this or not, since Yuwentai said it, it is true, and this has imposed a moral burden on Li Tai. And what kind of treatment will it be like to succeed Su Chuo? That was the most important political position in the entire Western Wei Dynasty under one person in the Tai government!

Of course, Yu Wentai also added a condition of "not fully believing what he said", but that left him room for maneuver. Li Tai may be able to succeed Su Chuo, or maybe not, in short, everything is possible.

So even though Yu Wentai was asking Li Tai what he meant, what could he mean? He doesn't even have the qualifications to follow Da Xingtai's arrangements, because among the people who are eager to plan his future, there is no Da Xingtai.

Su Shangshu wants you to assist in the government of Taifu, and your father-in-law wants you to run the government. There is also a favor to recommend you to Mu Beizhou. You have brought so many people back from Longyou. What on earth do you want to do?

Yu Wentai still wants to win over Li Tai, and his attention to Li Tai continues to increase, otherwise he would not have arranged such a conversation. But in fact, there is a doubt in his heart, that is, where should Li Tai position himself now?

Yu Wentai has long been accustomed to the high level of personnel in junior high schools. Every time he wants to accomplish something, he needs to coordinate internal personnel relations first. Therefore, everyone has a general standard for how they position themselves in their hearts, and can use this to judge when they encounter problems. reactions and choices.

In his mind, Li Tai was a confidant of the Tai government whom he single-handedly cultivated. He repeatedly created new things for the Tai government, and all the suggestions he made were able to address the current shortcomings. As long as some difficult problems were handed over to Li Tai, they could often be solved. Obtain a more satisfactory result.

However, this understanding collapsed after this kid quietly got engaged to Dugu Xin, and it has not been able to form a new understanding so far. Han Bao's latest evaluation of Li Tai was reported back, and This gave him a new doubt about Li Tai's understanding.

So this conversation pushed Li Tai into a situation where he couldn't retreat. Yu Wentai also wanted to use this to test Li Tai's nature.

Li Tai didn't know that Han Bao's previous report on him made the boss feel a little confused about him. However, after some keyword extraction and inner weighing, he decided to be more frank and less clichéd, speaking from the bottom of his heart. Go ahead and share your thoughts with the boss.

"Although I am young, I have already experienced the Three Kingdoms. I have experienced the remnants of my hometown in Heyin, the stubborn children in the countryside in the Eastern Dynasty, and the ministers and workers of the country who are living in poverty. There was no lack of luck, but I was also worried at that time when I didn’t know what would happen next. I am fortunate to have been blessed with such kindness, but there are countless misfortunes in life. All industries are depressed and prosperous, and the world is like a ghost..."

When Li Tai talked about this, his expression and tone turned serious, but there was no need to show off. Ever since he came to this world, everything he had seen and heard in the troubled times was different from his understanding as a future soul, and his mood had actually been very depressed. Occasionally, you need some absurd and wanton gimmicks to entertain yourself.

What Li Tai said was serious. Yu Wentai, a native who had personally experienced troubled times and even had his family destroyed because of it, naturally felt more deeply. However, he just sighed lightly and did not interrupt Li Tai's words.

"The Lord asked me what my plan is. My great wish in life is to unify the universe and stop wars in the world. I will dedicate my whole body to this great cause and do not let this war harm my children and grandchildren again! I know that this wish is really arrogant. He is presumptuous and unreasonable, so he has always been ashamed to tell others, but he only practices and fulfills this wish."

At this point, Li Tai's tone was trembling with excitement. It should be said that great unification is a value cognition deeply rooted in the genes of every Chinese. Any ideological indoctrination that violates this cognition is all aimed at destroying the most basic value cognition system.

When Yuwen Tai heard Li Tai's answer, his expression was stunned. He had heard similar grand words before, and he was even almost talking about them, but he didn't expect Li Tai to answer with this at this moment.

But if he thought about it a little, Yuwen Tai felt that the slightly contradictory parts of Li Tai's previous and subsequent actions could be explained by this explanation.

He thought that Li Tai proposed to the Dugu family because he was greedy for Dugu Xin's power in Longyou, but according to Han Bao's report, after Li Tai arrived in Longyou, many of his words and deeds exceeded Dugu Xin's personnel structure in the town for several years, and after cracking the action of the Taifu stealing the house and knowing that the two sides were very likely to fight, he still formulated many plans to import Longyou personnel into Guanzhong, and he actually promoted them vigorously.

It should be noted that when Han Bao was discussing these things with Li Tai, Yu Jinke had not yet gone to Longyou to convey his request to recall Li Tai.

This means that when Li Tai planned this series of things, he was not based on his own power and interests, but actually wanted to strengthen the personnel exchanges between Longyou and Guanzhong and resolve the separatist situation of Longyou standing outside Guanzhong.

This is what Yuwen Tai couldn't figure out before. Why did Li Tai want to be Dugu Xin's son-in-law, and some of his actions in Longyou were based on the interests of the Taifu. If it was simply for his own power and interests, it would be a bit contradictory, but if it was based on the grand perspective of hoping for the unification of the world, it could indeed be explained.

Of course, in fact, Li Tai still benefited from this, because Dugu Xin worked hard to fight for the privilege of opening a government to govern, so that the personnel imported into Guanzhong during this period of Longyou and even in the future would be close to Li Tai, and Li Tai would not be in name only, but would grow into a powerful official in a short time.

But the reason why this situation can be realized is that Yuwen Tai must recall Li Tai to Guanzhong. If he is still in Longyou, Dugu Xin will not work so hard to get him a government. At the same time, the personnel sent from Longyou to Guanzhong can also be directly digested by the Taifu.

But in this way, Yuwen Tai has to face the fact that Li Tai will still stay in Qinzhou, give advice to Dugu Xin and formulate a series of military and political lines. He is clear about Li Tai's ability to govern. Even if he has forgotten it, the slap in the face of Wang De and Han Bao being pressed in Qinzhou still makes him feel hot.

"Li Boshan is indeed a disciple of the late Lord Langya. Before Lord Heba passed away, he advised me to 'first harmonize the country and act in accordance with the times'. Although his words are not as grand as the world's cessation of war, they are also thought-provoking and inspiring. The former party was misled by hearsay, which made me ashamed of Lord Henei. You are a former colleague of the government, and you have the responsibility to clear up the misunderstanding. Han Shizhong also sent a letter to Qinzhou to report that you took care of me, so I was spared from further criticism." Although Yuwen Tai did not believe Li Tai's words, his words were indeed impeccable. After a little hesitation, His expression became sincere, and he looked at Li Tai and said, "So I want to hear what position you would like to take after returning to the country, Boshan? Although there is an urgent need for talents both inside and outside the country, if we can use people who are willing to work for us, it will undoubtedly be more harmonious and achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Li Tai secretly complained in his heart when he heard this. After this, although Yuwen Tai no longer spoke in an unreasonable and unreasonable tone, he still did not dispel his doubts about him, but turned to a normal attitude of communicating with a military leader with a good subordinate force.

After all, regardless of other considerations, the more than 3,000 Longyou warriors he brought back would be a considerable force wherever they were placed. Not to mention in the current Western Wei Dynasty, even if he went to Jinyang to seek refuge with the big brother, he could get on the table and weigh the gold and share the meat.

"As the Lord said, I am an old official of the government, and I know that the case handled by Minister Su is of great importance, and it is not easy for me to succeed him. Even if I take over the position, I am afraid that I can hardly fulfill two or three of the tasks with all my heart and soul. Failure to do my duty is a small matter, but it is a big loss to the country. I only thank you for your kindness, but I really dare not take the responsibility rashly."

Li Tai said here, and then sighed and said: "My subordinates now have little power. If I say that my urgent wish is to lead the troops to secretly cross the river and attack Jinyang directly, kill the traitors, and then go to Hebei, destroy the false court, rescue relatives, and then return to the pass and boast of my achievements!"

"Haha, you are really young and frivolous! The thieves are fierce and stubborn, how can you control them with just a few thousand soldiers? If this achievement is easy to achieve, how can we leave a name for our children if we fight for it bravely?"

Although he knew that Li Tai was talking nonsense, Yuwen Tai couldn't help laughing. As long as he could hear that his old enemy was in trouble, he would feel happy from the bottom of his heart even if it was just bragging.

But after laughing, his expression turned serious again, looking at Li Tai and saying: "I know you don't like trivial paperwork, and now you are using the army to strengthen yourself, it seems that you are even more unwilling to hold a pen.

I have also thought seriously about the recommendation of Ju Huibao. The northern state is very barren, and there are few state officials who can make innovations. Li Xianqing is indeed not the right person, and he may be unable to handle the complicated work. But you have made a lot of achievements in that place, and new things are not as good as old things..."
