Chapter 259 The Choice
Although it was a bit out of control, everyone present could see that the Grand Secretariat really admired Li Tai to the extreme.
If Li Tai was present, the Grand Secretariat's statement would be suspected of buying people's hearts, but now that he was not present at all, the Grand Secretariat's statement could be said to be sincere and not false, and of course it could not be ruled out that it was a warning to everyone present.
As the night deepened, Yuwen Tai did not keep everyone to talk all night. After treating them to a light meal, he let them go home, leaving only Yuwen Hu and other close children in the household.
When the other members of the Secretariat left, Yuchi Jiong, who had been sitting quietly with his head down, stood up from the table and walked to Yuwen Tai's table. Before he could speak, tears came out first.
Yuwen Tai was in a good mood and had a smile on his face, but after seeing this scene, his face suddenly sank, and he snorted coldly and threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground.
Yuwen Hu and others who were still sitting at the table saw this scene and stood up in shock, bowing their heads and not daring to speak.
Yuchi Jiong, who was kneeling on the ground, was even more angry and sad, and said in a choked voice: "If my uncle really believes that Li Boshan's previous accusations against me are true and not slander, no matter what kind of punishment, I am willing to accept it..."
Yuwen Tai frowned even more when he heard this. Yuwen Hu and others were even more panicked after seeing this, and they all came forward to kowtow and plead for Yuchi Jiong.
Yuwen Tai raised his hand impatiently and slammed the table, interrupting everyone's speech, and then snorted coldly: "You are all stupid and ignorant, so you think I am the same? People are indeed treacherous, but even if you have a few thorns in your chest, can you surpass my vision? It's okay to do something wrong, but if you don't even know where you are wrong, how can you not disappoint others!" As he spoke, he stood up from the table and walked down the hall. He stood in front of Yuchi Jiong, looking down at this nephew, and his tone was even more dissatisfied: "I really regret putting you in the court. , contaminated by too many evil sentiments and schemes, I am old and not as knowledgeable as I used to be. Let me ask you again, do you know where you went wrong? "
Yuchi Jiong was silent for a long time, and then he said in a low voice: "I shouldn't have made a noise to disturb the city that day, but, but Li Boshan's words were really absurd, and he gave everyone a little mercy, and he actually slandered me with evil words..."
"Did Boshan say something wrong? The plan he made a few days ago should have been the responsibility of you in Beijing. But you spent your days in Chang'an, and you didn't know where to lead. It can be seen how careless his intentions are. He just relies on the prestige of the government to intimidate the public, but is unwilling to guide and reconcile, and does not know how to eliminate the disaster before it happens. "
When Yuwen Tai said this, his tone became fierce. He bent down and grabbed Yuchi Jiong's shoulders and lifted him up. He said in a serious voice: "The reason why the evil plots of the thieves are gradually spreading is that you in the capital are negligent and indulgent, so that the thieves are stronger! Do you think your wisdom can bridge the gap between the two families? Human feelings may be tolerated, but how to distribute the reputation? A temporary obstacle Out of consideration for the feelings and fear of hurting the harmony, it just pushes people into the footsteps of Xiaowu step by step. "I, I really don't... Uncle, how dare I think this? As a living person, don't you understand the root of affection? If it weren't for uncle raising the orphaned children, the brothers would hardly grow up, how could they dare to hope for the opportunity to be favored by the world..." Yuchi Jiong was panicked when he heard this, and cold sweat ran down his forehead. Just now, he might have felt a little ashamed and wronged because of being slandered and wronged by Li Tai, but after hearing Yuwen Tai's rebuke, he realized that his uncle was really angry. "There is no need to say more about these common sayings. As an elder, it is your duty to raise the younger generation. What's more, you are all talented. In recent years, the maintenance of the family's internal and external situation has relied a lot on the talents of the younger generation. It is gratifying to talk about this."
When Yuwen Tai said this, his tone turned serious again. He patted Yuchi Jiong's back and sighed: "In the world, intelligence is limited but troubles are endless. Some things are not wrong and should be done, but if you really can't do it, you need to know how to choose and what to keep and what to give up. Your interpersonal disputes are far more complicated than those of the other people in the family, so you should know how to choose and avoid!"
"I will definitely keep my uncle's teachings in mind and never make any miscellaneous plans that are inappropriate!"
Yuchi Jiong hurriedly bowed his head and said, his mood became extremely complicated.
As Yuwen Tai's nephew, Yuchi Jiong certainly can hold his position on the overall situation, but his identity as the current son-in-law of the emperor is not completely unaffected by him. As Yuwen Tai said, he hoped that the court and the hegemony would get along better and the conflicts would not be too sharp and exposed.
He was one of the spies arranged by Yuwen Tai in the court. The prince's words and deeds in recent years have become more bold and presumptuous, and they, the spies in Beijing, are indeed to blame. As for Yuchi Jiong himself, in order to avoid more disputes and twists and turns, he concealed and condoned some of the prince's extraordinary words and deeds that he felt would not affect the overall situation. He was not completely innocent.
"If you understand this truth, there is no reason to resent Boshan's accusations against you. At that time, his primary plan was to judge the immoral and bad deeds of the East Palace's confidants, and everything else was a secondary plan. Since you saw the matter, it would be fine if you didn't help, but you even caused other things to be involved and confused the public. If Boshan can't suppress you, how can he ensure that the people's minds are guided by him?"
When Yuwentai said this, he pointed at Yuchi Jiong and shook his head: "I don't know what disputes and grudges you two have, but in this matter, Boshan knows the priorities and the choices better than you. He is less clever. Human beings, how can they not understand the human principle of not being close to each other? But in order to settle the matter, they are still not afraid of offending you.
He is not a resident of Chang'an, but a traveler passing through. What he does is to repair the mistakes and omissions of you Beijing officials. You should be grateful to him, but not only do you have no such awareness, you only want to restore your innocence, and you must also be full of resentment towards Boshan in your heart, right? "
Yu Chijiong was generally able to understand and accept Yu Wentai's previous lessons, but when he heard this, his mood suddenly became complicated and conflicting.
Li Boshan slandered and even insulted him in front of the people in Chang'an. Not only could he not be angry, but he also had to express his gratitude to Li Boshan?
If these words had not come from Yuwentai's mouth, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back and curse directly. But even if Yuwentai said it, his mind turned many twists and turns, and he still couldn't figure out the logic of this statement.
But the important thing about many things is not whether he can understand it, but whether he accepts it or not.
Yu Wentai then said: "Today, we are forbidden to discuss matters. Your Majesty wanted to grant Xiaoxing Mosu, but I refused. Although the world is not peaceful today, expedient measures that are unfeeling and undermine justice should not be used indiscriminately. Moreover, Su Wei The matter is related to the safety of the country. If he neglects it because of his injury, it will be too late. "
Xiaoxing is the diminutive name of Wang Meng's son Wang Mao, and Mo Fu refers to the black mourning clothes. When mourning at home, white mourning clothes are required. If the mourning event cannot last forever, black mourning clothes are required. Therefore, Mo Suo's engagement was also extended to seizing love.
Since the founding of the Western Wei Dynasty, there have been frequent wars, and it has become a norm for Mo Xian to engage in military affairs, and few people can serve in mourning. It was a common practice for the emperor to give Wang Mao Mo Shu, but Yu Wentai refused on Wang Mao's behalf, which was a bit unusual.
Wang Mao is now the right-guard general and also leads the prince's left-guard command. He is an important general of the imperial army. Naturally, staying in this position means that he has to monitor the imperial guards for the Taiwan government.
Naturally, such a person needs to be appointed by a close friend, and generally will not be replaced. If it needs to be replaced, it means that there should be a problem, and the problem may be quite big.
Yuwentai did not explain the reason in detail, but continued to say to Yuchi Jiong: "At present, the Taifu military aircraft are busy, and there is no time to leave the guards in the middle of the capital. Originally, Bo Juluo should be the most suitable person to succeed Xiaoxing. candidate, but with your current mentality, I don’t dare recommend you to this position, I’m afraid I’ll make a mistake!”
When Yuchijiong heard this, his expression was both happy and surprised. He hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said in a deep voice: "I know what uncle is worried about. I was indeed not very thorough in my work before, and I had to rely on others to fix some hidden dangers.
My uncle's lesson today was like a warning bell, which made me realize a lot. I dare not boast that I have made no mistakes since then, but I will try my best to prevent my parents from being disappointed again. I will pay my respects to Li Boshan tomorrow and sincerely thank him..."
After hearing this, Yu Wentai nodded with satisfaction and said: "I don't ask you to thank Boshan to dampen your ambition. It's just a temporary grudge against an enemy who needs to be with you all year round." People with different temperaments and values will inevitably have disputes and collisions when getting along.
Boshan is young, narrow-minded, and very talented. Arguing with him may not lead to victory, but will damage the hard-to-keep friendship. What happened before is also a lesson for you. You were already not smart enough to deal with the situation. If you continue to hold on to your feelings and become even more disrespectful in the future, what will you gain from this matter?
Sa Bao is not a magnanimous person, but he knows how to make up for it when getting along with others, and now his experience and wisdom have greatly increased. For example, this time, if he hadn't arrived in time to calm the situation, you and Boshan don't know what would have happened! "
When Yu Wenhu heard his uncle talking about him, he hurriedly cheered up. However, he was still a little confused after hearing this comment. He couldn't figure out for a while whether he was praising himself or scolding himself.
But listening to his uncle's tone, even if it was not full of praise, it was definitely not a scolding. He grinned and said: "Since uncle has appointed me to come to Beijing to take charge of matters, of course I will do my best to take on the responsibility. Later I will Together with Bo Juluo, we must go to see Boshan and make sure that the two of them resolve their differences!"
