Chapter 228 A Hero is Waiting for Him
Returning to Ba Mansion this time, Li Tai truly felt that he was a person, and not just a figment of his own imagination. But Dugu Xin's enthusiastic and straightforward approach was so unexpected that he didn't know how to refuse for a while.
Yes, he had not considered agreeing to Dugu Xin's solicitation at all, at least not at all now.
If Duguxin had made such an invitation when he first arrived in Kansai, he would probably have been flattered and ecstatic, but now he just feels a little annoyed.
Brushing buffs and hugging thighs were just a little self-comfort thought when he was bored, but what really allowed him to gain a firm foothold in Kansai was, after all, his own strength.
Dugu Xinzi is not as discouraged and lazy as He Basheng, but he still has great expectations and ambitions for his political future. Although the conflict with Yu Wentai will not intensify or even go against each other, it is obvious that he cannot be submissive and completely obedient.
Let's just take his word for it. Going to Longyou Duguxin will give him great autonomy, allowing him to develop his power calmly and avoid harassment from other boring personnel.
However, he will inevitably be involved in some disputes between Longyou and Bafu, and most of these problems are beyond his current ability. The troubles caused by this far exceeded the personnel problems he was facing now.
Li Tai is not afraid of difficulties and challenges, but the premise is that his efforts must be rewarded accordingly. Giving up what you already have and starting from scratch under Dugu Xin's command would do more harm than good in every aspect.
"I am really frightened and flattered by the courtesy and attention Dugu Kaifu has given me. When Boya met the woodcutter, he knew the truth deeply. I am even more honored to be able to meet my grandpa. I am so happy that words cannot express it!"
Li Tai stood up first, bowed deeply to Duguxin to express his gratitude, and then said: "It's just that emotion outweighs matters and people use allusions according to people. This is an unavoidable political malady in ancient and modern times. Boshan is also a person in this world, not only I dare not hope to be free from the outside world.
Kaifu holds a high position and has many talented people under his command, all of whom are very powerful. If I boldly and boldly apply for recruitment, how can I not be a nuisance to others like a lucky man?
Although he is timid about exposing his own ugliness, he is still young and energetic, and it is difficult for him to reconcile with others in both emotions and matters. Although elegance is valued but talent is not valued at the founding of the government, one person will be short-sighted and everyone will be calculated to be wise. If a crazy person is lucky enough to get in and talk to me, he will be deeply indebted to me..."
"Since you are young and full of energy, it seems that you are not totally ignorant."
When Dugu Xin heard that Li Tai declined his invitation, his face sank slightly, and then he snorted coldly: "So you think that I am not as powerful as Daxingtai and can tolerate all kinds of people? If I use you, the group will If you confine yourself to one person and use you in the Daxingtai, it will not harm the political system?"
After Li Tai heard this, he broke into a sweat again and couldn't understand why Duguxin's self-esteem suddenly became so strong.
The meaning of course is this. He is the boss of the government and has overall control over the internal and external military affairs. Of course, his room for manipulation in personnel matters is far greater than that of you, the Fangbo of Longyou. But to say it so straightforwardly and plainly is indeed a bit unpleasant. It has gone beyond the scope of normal conversation, and instead smells a bit jealous.
He was about to open his mouth again to explain and make up for it, but Dugu Xin didn't want to listen anymore. He frowned and waved his hands and said: "The boy's words are clever, so he has already made his voice before he is old enough. He slanders the general without leaving any room. Zhao Yuangui still hates it to this day. I’m just too lazy to listen to your clever words. If you don’t have anything to say from the bottom of your heart, I’ll just stop talking!”
Being spoken bluntly and flatteringly in person, Li Tai felt a little offended, but Dugu Xin brought up this old incident again, which also made him realize that there were not many Zhuguo left for him to continue to offend in the coming year, and there were also There is really no need to continue to be at odds with Duguxin.
At the moment, Dugu Xin did not refuse to continue the conversation, but he just didn't want to listen to his empty words. He obviously wanted to hear something real from him, but what could he say to Dugu Xin? Are you talking about your own plan for Lu, or are you reminding Dugu Xin not to fall into the hands of Yu Wenhu in the future?
He couldn't help but think deeply. From the moment he came to the court today, Dugu Xin's behavior was very different from usual, and his current conversation was even more unusually graceful. If it is a true expression of love, what kind of situation and mood does it reflect Duguxin's current situation?
Previously, he recited history books and said that reading history can make you wise. Obviously, he was not just flaunting his deep love for academics. Rather than telling history to everyone, it is better to persuade and enlighten oneself.
When do people do this? Of course, only when you feel confused and don't know where to go, will you stop to take a look, think about it, learn from the wisdom of your predecessors, and find an answer for yourself.
But now Duguxin has an enviable position and considerable power. What problem does he want to solve?
Even though people have enough food, clothing and clothing, they are still full of melancholy and confusion. That can only be some metaphysical philosophical thinking, such as "who am I", or "what is my position in the general trend of the world".
It may be a bit mysterious to say this, but it is a question that many people in today's society, especially those in high positions and positions like Duguxin, cannot avoid. Are they senior officials of the Western Wei Dynasty, or loyal ministers of Yuwentai Ba Mansion?
Li Tai naturally didn't have any troubles in this regard. He was extremely stubborn and had little recognition for either side. He hung out with either side just to accumulate his own strength. But for natives like Duguxin who have already achieved considerable achievements, they are eager to understand what the purpose is?
"In my old hometown, my father once lamented that when the Six Towns first became noisy, everyone in the world looked at the townspeople as thieves. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, the rise and fall of the world, the fortunes of the family and the country all depended on these choices of words and deeds! Things in the world are easy to break but difficult to overcome. , so when the mountains and rivers are in turmoil, evil and strong thieves rise up, and when the country is established, there are only a few virtuous and lofty people."
Li Tai said in a solemn tone: "When it comes to heroes, it is also time to choose heroes. If you go against the times, your treasures will be covered with dust. If you move with the times, ordinary people will build banners. The great reputation of the founding of a government cannot be obtained by two or three people, and it does not require harmony. 23. In troubled times, everyone is going through this hardship. Those who are on the right and left are happy, but the road ahead is still long, so there is no time to hesitate!
What he said is really disrespectful. No matter what the emperor, if what you do is inappropriate, I will not offend you. Troubled times are an era that lacks authority. As long as I have the ability, if you want to make me unhappy, do you think I will pay attention to you?
After hearing these words, Dugu Xin frowned slightly at first, and then slowly relaxed his brows after a while. He looked at Li Tong with a slightly amused look, and said with a smile: "According to these remarks, you, Bo Shan, just now I don’t need to feel sorry if you don’t follow the same path as me?”
After hearing this, Li Tai's expression froze again. He pondered for a while and then said with a dry smile: "People who share the same path have their own succession, and we may not necessarily be able to walk side by side. I am not a solitary traveler. I am also walking towards the path, but I am far behind Kaifu."
When Dugu Xin heard this, he laughed, turned around and shook his head and sighed: "I prefer young people to be crazy. I understand why the grand master likes to be close to you. You are a member of a famous family, you have the talent to rely on, and you are used to adjusting the situation. You like to be a powerful official and don't like to risk your life. With your character, Boshan, you are really an anomaly. You are obviously a flashy newcomer, but you can shame many people in Guanxi and make people happy. Amazing!”
"Aristocratic families or military strategists all have different careers, but their joys and sorrows are the same. There is no shortage of virtuous people in the town who want to seek the country, and there is no shortage of treacherous scum among the famous families. The various types of human beings have their own origins, but virtue It’s hard to distinguish between talents and ambitions. I was just lucky enough to be born in this state. I earned a few reputations and did not harm the family tradition. After all, it is no better than Kaifu’s own efforts. "
Li Tai raised his hand and said that his family background did bring him a lot of conveniences, but in front of a person like Dugu Xin, he really had no right to be proud.
After Dugu Xin heard this, a slight smile appeared on his face, but he soon sighed: "Even so, there are always mediocre people in the world, and they are used to distinguishing the good and the bad by category. Boshan, your current opinions are really refreshing, but After experiencing so much, can I still maintain my original intention?”
After Li Tai heard this, he was a little curious about why Dugu Xin was so entangled with this issue. Everyone just stopped and said kind words to each other. It would be a bit boring to break the casserole and ask the end.
But seeing that Dugu Xin was still waiting for his answer, he added: "As the old saying goes, three people can make a tiger, and a crowd of people can make gold. Public opinion and public opinion can indeed guide people's judgment of good and bad. But the crowd's voice can make people think. , after all, it is based on morality. It is also a common story in the world that a famous family falls into decline.
Forefathers planted trees, and later generations took advantage of the shade. Cause and effect follow the rules, and variables are constant. Back in the olden days, my family was just a plain household in Longbian. Our ancestors had been kind to us for generations, so we had the humble reputation we have today. My personal opinion is not worthy of discussion. Promoting good and rejecting evil is the right view in the world. Based on this, I cannot say that I am different from the opinions of others. "
"These remarks can be said to be pure and decent! We have met several times before, but we just paid a cursory greeting. I am afraid that you, Li Lang, are arrogant and disdain to be humbled by your famous family. If you have the temerity to talk, you will be arrogant. In fact, it will hurt the old relationship with the grand master. Until We just got to know each other briefly today, and when we meet again in the future, we can talk about our relationship freely. "
Yang Zhong, who had not spoken for a long time, clapped his hands and laughed after listening to Li Tai's words.
Li Tai was sweating profusely after hearing this. Look at what he said. Even if I look down on Daxingtai, I don't dare to look down on you!
Dugu Xin was also in the banquet and said with a smile: "We had a lot of fun talking today, Bo Shan doesn't have to go in a hurry, just stay here for a light meal. I won't bully you with my position, and you won't be proud of me with my family status. You can only go back after you have enjoyed yourself!" "
When Li Tai heard this, he nodded and smiled.
The relationship between people is indeed strange. He is still a little rigid because of Dugu Xin's position, but he didn't expect that Dugu Xin is still a little bit stubborn about his origin, and he seems to want to give himself. I still feel hesitant about brushing the layer BUFF...
When this idea emerged in his mind, his expression suddenly froze, and then he thought about it for a while. Did he guess it right?
