Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

Chapter 722 Night talk by candlelight

After entering the hall and sitting down, there was a period of regular greetings, and then Duguxin couldn't help but ask about the power development of Jingzhou General Manager's Office.

When he heard Li Tai say that the sphere of influence of the Jingzhou Governor's Office had extended to the Yangtze River and actually controlled several Yangtze River Jindu ports, Duguxin couldn't help but sigh and said: "In the past, the military front only stopped at Mianbei. I can already speak powerfully to Han Mian. Now that I have conquered the great river, I am really enviable for my future generations. It’s a pity that I can’t do this together.”

In addition to praising his son-in-law, Dugu Xin's emotion was also somewhat touching on himself. Such a great improvement in the situation in the southeast is certainly inseparable from Li Tai's own outstanding talents, but it is also based on the collapse of the situation in Nanliang. This is a situation they never had when they were in charge of the southeast. If the situation in the southeast had such a prospect back then, why did it end up in Guanzhong, staying low and doing little things?

But it's hard to say this too straightforwardly. After all, although they didn't meet Li Tai's fate, they did have an opportunity like Hou Jing's... Well, they can't think too much. The more they think about it, the worse they will feel.

Putting aside Dugu Xin's sentiments, everyone else present could not help but praise him after hearing the achievements achieved by the Jingzhou General Manager's Office. Especially as he grew older and looked forward to making great achievements, Yu Wenyu looked at Li Tai, his brother-in-law, with full admiration.

“I had little success in the past. Although the people of the state government were all helping me, I was deeply aware that state affairs were very busy and I was very nervous and afraid of making mistakes!”

Yu Wenyu looked at Li Tai and said: "In the territory of Huazhou, affairs are so busy and important that people dare not relax. When the Duke of Taiyuan goes out to control Jingzhou, he must not only take into account the politics and people's livelihood, but also defend the border areas with troops. He is truly a role model for pioneering, shouldering heavy responsibilities and taking every task lightly. ”

As the eldest son of the concubine of Daxingtai, Yu Wenyu is now nearly the age of a weakling, and has gradually begun to get involved in the military and political affairs of the country. For example, in the 16th year of Datong's reign, when the army marched eastward to the Northern Qi Dynasty, he briefly conducted affairs in Huazhou, which could be regarded as a sign that Yuwentai's sons began to join in the management of their father's achievements.

If before, he only admired Li Tai for his dazzling series of achievements that made people's blood boil. After experiencing a short period of progress, Yu Wenyu began to admire Li Tai more and more for his ability to manage the military and political affairs in the entire southeast in an orderly manner. , Stable and rising, his ability will surprise junior high schools from time to time.

Hearing what Yu Wenyu said, Dugu Xin also took a cup and looked at the two sons-in-law present. The more he looked at the two sons-in-law, the stronger the smile on his face. Then he pointed at Yu Wenyu and said: "One can only gain wisdom after one thing. I know how ambitious you and other young disciples are." I'm afraid I don't like being preached by others, but people who can be praised by the world always have their own reasons for being respected.

Compared to you and other young disciples, Bo Shan is not just a few years older. He can argue with the elders and support the underachievers. In today's world, the situation is unpredictable, and even an old horse dare not boast of his knowledge of the road. He can adapt to temporary changes and inherit the past and the future. There is nothing I can see that can be better than others.

If there is a virtuous person in another family, I would sigh with envy and regret that it is difficult to get close to them. But with the relationship you two have, you shouldn't have such troubles. Although we have known each other for a short time and have missed each other for a long time, as long as we are close to each other, we can always have an inseparable friendship. In other families, if young disciples fail to adapt when encountering difficulties, people will only lament that they are too young to be able to deal with troubles. But if you fail to be alert, you will inevitably be criticized for not being able to please your beloved. "

Yu Wenyu was indeed a good-tempered man, without the arrogance of ordinary powerful children. After hearing what his father-in-law said, he quickly stood up and acted like he was listening. After Dugu Xin finished speaking, he picked up his wine glass and said, "My father-in-law is my benefactor. Is it someone else? Since I am willing to ask for advice, it can be seen that although I am stubborn and foolish in the eyes of my father-in-law, I still have qualities that can be improved and disciplined. I am very happy and thank you for your advice!"

As he spoke, he raised his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Then he filled another glass of wine, turned to look at Li Tai, and continued to laugh and said: "What my father-in-law said, the Duke of Taiyuan also heard it at the table. I am not taking the liberty." I am a nuisance because I have been taught by my elders to consult the Duke of Taiyuan frequently when things happen. If I act inappropriately and out of step with the times in the coming year, I should not be the only one to be criticized by public opinion!"

Li Taizheng smiled as he watched his father-in-law perform PUA on the two sons-in-law. Hearing Yu Wenyu's words, he also raised his glass and waved his hand repeatedly to signal Yu Wenyu to sit down. Then he gave a brief signal and poured a sip of wine into the glass. Drink it all.

Looking at the interaction between the two sons-in-law, the smile on Duguxin's face became wider and wider.

The more he sees his eldest son-in-law, Li Tai, the more satisfied he becomes. Regardless of his family background, character, personality, talents, or current status, he is simply impeccable. Even the small flaw in the family's previous small population no longer exists as his family moved westward.

As for the second son-in-law Yu Wenyu, although his family background was slightly inferior, he still came from a powerful family and was a family friend of the Wuchuan Township Party. Although Yu Wenyu himself is not good at the moment, he has a humble and polite personality. The most rare thing is that he is willing to listen and teach. This is what makes Dugu Xin most satisfied.

Now that Li Tai is powerful and authoritarian, he is even more powerful than when Duguxin was in charge of Longyou. Naturally, he does not need any further teachings from Duguxin. And because Li Tai was outside, the father-in-law and his son-in-law often got together less and separated more. After meeting, it was enough to talk about their farewells and maintain their closeness.

Dugu Xin thought more about Yu Wenyu, his second son-in-law. Moreover, many of his thoughts and ideas are combined with his current situation, which naturally makes him more profound. Taking advantage of Li Tai's return this time, Dugu Xin also planned to communicate some of his ideas with Li Tai and discuss them with each other.

With this idea in mind, although Duguxin was also actively maintaining the atmosphere of the banquet, he did not drink much and remained relatively sober.

Li Tai also noticed something strange about his father-in-law, and of course he restrained himself from drinking too much. So when the banquet ended late at night, everyone else was already very drunk. Yu Wenyu and other guests simply got drunk and were arranged to stay overnight in the guest house at home, but the two old men were not affected at all.

After arranging his father-in-law and all the guests, Li Tai saw his father-in-law looking at him with bright eyes, so he asked his servants to clean up the side hall and bring in some tea, preparing to hold a candlelight night talk with his father-in-law.

"How is the process going when we return to the government to discuss matters?"

Duguxin also knew the reason why Li Tai returned to Guanzhong this time. Although he now occupies the high position of Zhuguo, he is excluded from this core issue. Of course, it is inevitable that there will be eyes and ears involved, but if you want to know the full progress of the matter, it is certainly not as convenient as asking Li Tai directly.

Li Tai did not hide this, and briefly described his views and the attitudes of the people in the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office. After listening to it, Duguxin digested it a little, and then nodded slightly and said: "We should let the Qinzhou General Manager's Office move, and hold the He has such great power in personnel affairs, but he often avoids major events and is not subject to government orders. He will never be able to lose his power! "

After Li Tai heard this, he coughed slightly uncomfortably, then picked up the tea cup and took a few sips. He didn't think that his father-in-law was criticizing Sang and Huai, but the direction was indeed a bit strong.

Duguxin did not notice this. He expressed his agreement with Li Tai's idea and then added: "You may not know much about the things on the right side of Longxi. Although the Di and Qiang are noisy, they are still a minor problem after all. Bei The situation of Jingrouran is coming to an end, and when it collapses, it will probably bring a lot of border disturbances.

Although he is now on good terms with the Turkic envoys, the thief Hu is definitely not a person who can live in peace. If he is prosperous, he will be arrogant and must be strictly guarded. Since Qinzhou has important responsibilities and strong troops, these border affairs must be monitored. I will report to the court later to discuss this matter! "

After Li Tai heard this, he nodded repeatedly, feeling that Dugu Xin's father-in-law really supported him. He had just tried to find something for Director Yu Wen to do, and Dugu Xin followed him immediately.

Nowadays, Qinzhou and Jingzhou are the two largest towns in the country. Once Qinzhou's military tasks become onerous, the attitude of the Chinese and Foreign Governments towards Jingzhou will inevitably need to be more moderate and restrained.

Li Tai was not afraid that the world would be in chaos, but he didn't want those in charge of the army to stare at Jingzhou's busy work. Too much attention was sometimes not a good thing. What's more, the side issues faced by Qinzhou cannot be avoided. If we don't actively deal with them now, the problems will only become more serious in the future.

However, Dugu Xin was so active in finding things to do for the Qinzhou General Manager's Office, not just to relieve Li Tai's pressure. He also had his own ideas and plans.

After pondering for a while, he looked directly into Li Tai's eyes and asked slowly: "Since Daxingtai also agrees with your statement, the expedition to Shu still needs to be planned. So, do you think Ningdu Gong can do it?" Take on the responsibility of defeating Shu?"

"This, this...my father-in-law really has this intention?"

Li Tai couldn't help but widen his eyes after hearing this. He couldn't catch up with his father-in-law's wild and unrestrained thoughts. It took him a moment to react, and after a brief pondering, he asked quickly: "My father-in-law, this thought is of the sixth grade." Er? Does Ningdu know? Does Daxingtai know?”
